At the same time, in the Qianqing Palace, Wu Yu, who had listened to Lu Xiaofeng's report on the Song Dynasty delegation, was also a little emotional.

Is Qin Hui a traitor? Of course, at least for the Song Dynasty and the entire nation, he is an out-and-out traitor, and he is the kind that can never be washed clean.

But as a king, sometimes you have to use traitors, otherwise you can't do some things.

Just like Wei Zhongxian in their Ming Dynasty, a eunuch who dared to claim to be nine thousand years old, in the short seven years of Tianqi's reign, he persecuted at least eighty court officials, including not only corrupt officials, but also many honest officials.

He made the entire court a mess with his own strength, but even so, didn't Zhu Youxiao kill him? Why? Of course, there are some things that only traitors like them can do.

In the final analysis, they are just a means for the people in power to maintain the imperial power. They have to do what the emperor wants them to do. If loyal ministers are loyal to the country and the country, then treacherous ministers are only loyal to the emperor.

Take Qin Hui for example. Would he not know the consequences of killing Yue Fei unjustly? The answer is of course yes, but even so, he still did it. Why? Because the emperor needed it.

The emperor said that he wanted to welcome back the two emperors, but that was just to consolidate the throne and tell the world that it was a political need. In fact, in his heart, he hoped that they would never come back.

Although the old emperor had died at that time, and his brother's return was unlikely to affect his throne, because the ritual system and political reality at that time made this situation unlikely to happen.

But in this kind of thing, it is better to be safe than sorry. There is a saying that if you try, you will die. As long as it involves the imperial power, he dare not gamble even if there is only a chance.

In addition, Yue Fei's prestige at that time was really too great, which had seriously threatened the imperial power. No emperor wanted to have a minister who was so powerful that he could shock the emperor under his nose.

It can be said that the emperor often wants to kill a person not because of whether he rebels, but because of whether he has the ability to rebel.

Especially after the Luoshui Alliance in history, the position of the emperor no longer seems so sacred. It has changed from the original divine right of the emperor to the one who has the strongest military and horses.

Not to mention that their old Zhao family itself started with this, so how could Zhao Gou not worry.

And looking at the entire court, there is only one Qin Hui who dares to take the blame for himself and attack Yue Fei, so Zhao Gou can use no one else but Qin Hui.

So in Wu Yu's opinion, in addition to Qin Hui and his wife, there should be another Song Gaozong Zhao Gou who kneels in front of Yue Fei's tomb in the future.

It's a pity that no ruler would agree to such a thing, because doing so will inevitably greatly reduce the authority of the ruler.

"Then when will your majesty decide to summon them? I glanced at the princess before and was really shocked by her beauty. Only a woman like that could be worthy of your majesty!"

Yes, the little brother Qin who served as a guide for Qin Hui and others was actually Lu Xiaofeng in disguise, and he was the only one who dared to tease Wu Yu in front of him.

"If you say this to Qian Qian and the others, you will definitely regret coming to this world!"

For Lu Xiaofeng's audacity, Wu Yu could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Others don't know Qian Qian's temperament, but Wu Yu knows it too. She is a real jealous person.

If she wasn't in the Ming Dynasty at that time, then no matter Yao Yue, Lian Xing, or Zhou Wan, no one would think of entering his harem, and only Wang Yuyan would not say anything.

So once Lu Xiaofeng's words were heard by her, she would definitely become a dead phoenix.

Yes, Xianxian has returned. With nearly 70% of the land in the north falling into Wu Yu's hands, Brother Li's mission has been completed, so there is naturally no need to stay there any longer.

Of course, Wu Yu did not kill him, but arranged him to the south, and re-employed him when the time is right. As for Wu Sangui and his son, under the impeachment of the censors of the Censorate, it is estimated that the grass on their graves is three feet high.

"Ahem!"

After hearing Wu Yu's reminder, Lu Xiaofeng realized that he had said too much. Thinking of the torture methods of Xianxian, the little witch, even he who had experienced countless storms could not help but shudder.

"Okay, you go down first. As for summoning the delegation, I have no idea for the time being. Let's leave them alone for a while."

Anyway, now that winter has arrived, the Mongols will not continue to attack the Song Kingdom in a short period of time, at least until the beginning of spring. Just like the Prime Minister Qin showed, you should have the attitude of asking for help.

Although he did intend to help Song resist the Yuan Dynasty, he could not send troops so easily, otherwise the lives of the Ming soldiers would be too cheap.

After all, fighting a war means death, but sometimes it is not possible not to fight. Once the MongolsAfter annexing the Song Dynasty, it would be a huge threat to both the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, even if Qin Hui and his men did not come to ask for help, Wu Yu would not sit idly by.

"I will take my leave!"

After taking a careful look and finding that there was indeed no third person present, Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly left the hall.

On the other side, as Qin Hui listened to the words of the official from the Honglu Temple, he was completely dumbfounded.

Because according to what the official said, their emperor had just held a court meeting a few days ago, and if they wanted to wait for the next court meeting, they had to wait until the winter solstice at least. Now it was only the beginning of October, which meant that they had to wait at least another month before they could be summoned by the Emperor Minghuang.

So after hearing this answer, not only Qin Hui was dumbfounded, but also Zhao Fujin and Li Qingzhao. How could it be that the wise ruler they had heard from the people along the way was a little different?

Isn't it a complete tyrant that he didn't attend court for several months? Even the Emperor Zhao, who was called a tyrant by the whole world, was not so outrageous.

Of course, they didn't know that the emperor of the Zhu family often didn't attend court for several years or even decades, let alone several months. But even so, it still didn't affect the overall operation of the country. As long as the officials performed their duties, it would be fine.

"Sir, look at us..."

Looking at the closed gate of the Honglu Temple, everyone was a little at a loss. They never expected that this would be the result of their long journey to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.

"Let's go, settle down in the post house first, and I will think of a way to see if there is a chance to meet the Emperor Ming as soon as possible."

Not to mention Deputy Envoy Liu, even he, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty who always remained calm, encountered such a thing for the first time.

But if the emperor didn't summon them, they had no choice but to settle down temporarily and see if there was a suitable opportunity.

There was also the receptionist named Qin who was obviously not an ordinary person. Qin Hui knew that he must have a way to contact the Emperor Minghuang.
