Fu Bi, an old man, is really a bit complicated to talk about his merits and demerits as an official. Like many things, it's not black and white.

Fu Bi, internally, is a good official, in the past, Wenzheng Gong Fan Zhongyan also valued him very much, he has a certain ability to be an official, and he has also done a lot of virtuous things.

He is very intelligent, has almost no political enemies in the DPRK and China, and has hardly ever been really impeached. But this is also a shortcoming, when a person is really comprehensive, it is not a good thing, it will seem that this person is too "modest", mediocre and mediocre, and nothing can be offended, which means that everything is a peacemaker. Let's say that this is a shortcoming, but it can really make him prosperous in the court.

In this regard, Han Qi is far worse than Fu Bi, although Han Qi is known as the virtuous minister of the Three Dynasties in history, but soon after Emperor Shenzong ascended the throne, Han Qi left the center of power.

And Fu Bi, from the third year of Qingli into the center of power, in the center of power for forty years, although in Wang Anshi when the law was changed, but then came back, lived eighty years old.

Fu Bi is the prime minister, and he has always come out of nowhere, even if Han Qi, a latecomer, takes the throne, and Han Qi is in charge of the affairs of the DPRK and China, but Fu Bi does not fight with Han Qi. Whoever is on the throne, Fu Bi does not fight, he opposes Wang Anshi's change, but when Wang Anshi pushes the change, Fu Bi does not fight, only seeks to be a leader, and the opposition is counting on Fu Bi to fight with Wang Anshi, Fu Bi just doesn't come out, he would rather go out and hide.

Therefore, Fu Bi is the real evergreen tree of the court, from the third year of Qingli to the center of power, in the past forty years, one by one the bigwigs have come and gone, this singing and that debut, and he will always stand and watch by the emperor's side.

Ouyang Xiu commented on Fu Bi: I don't know that he has a crime that can be stopped.

What do you mean? I just can't find a problem that Fu Bi can criticize.

Such a person can't be convinced.

But throughout history, Fu Bi's personality inevitably leads to his tough attitude towards foreign affairs.

In the second year of Qingli, the Liao people found an excuse to display troops on the border, waved their flags and shouted, scared the Great Song Dynasty, and asked the Great Song Dynasty to cut the land. Fu Bi made Liao, and then Fu Bi calmed things down, did not cut the land, and lost money.

After coming back, he was praised by people, saying that Fu Bi had topped a million soldiers with one word.

In this matter, there were many current situations at that time, such as the Western Xia Army, the Northwest War for three years, and the family and country were in difficulty. But Fu Bi's way of dealing with it, if you really want to talk about it, is worse than the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations, the Qing Dynasty at least has to lose the battle and then cede the land and pay compensation, Fu Bi here, was scared by someone, and paid the compensation.

And at that time, from the emperor to the courtiers, he praised Fubi for doing a good job.

Fu Bi also said a word to the later Shenzong, saying, "I wish not to say anything about the military for twenty years." At first glance, this sentence seems to be very well said, as if he loves the people like a son and does not want the people to suffer from war.

When I think about it again, I know that something is wrong. The Song Dynasty was not a unified dynasty in the world, and there was a strong enemy in the north, the Liao State, and a strong enemy in the northwest, the Western Xia, even if these two countries were not mentioned, there were mutinies or enemy attacks in the south all day long. Twenty years of not talking about military affairs, this kind of thing can be controlled by yourself? Do others call and ask for peace with others?

People just can't be comfortable.

This Great Song Dynasty just wants to be comfortable too much, as long as it can be comfortable, everyone is happy.

For the sake of comfort, the face can be abandoned, as long as you can continue to be comfortable and comfortable when you come back, you can say anything, but it's just to whitewash the peace, comfort yourself with the spirit of "Ah Q", okay, and then drink and listen to music.

Gan Qi probably saw through this, and saw through the pursuit of comfort by the ministers of Bianliang City, so he wanted to break the comfort of these people.

Above the court, when Gan Qi asked Fu Bi and Fu Xianggong how to deal with the attack on the Liao, Fu Xianggong did not answer directly and directly, but asked: "Governor Feng, what you just played is all conclusive?" ”

Feng Jing looked at his father-in-law, Fu Bi, and replied, "There are countless witnesses, and yesterday afternoon, I took the confessions of more than 30 people, and it was conclusive. ”

Fu Bi nodded and said slowly: "It was a small thing to fight on the street, but it became a big thing because of the Liao envoys. Hitting someone is wrong after all, and if you hurt someone, you naturally have to be responsible. The perpetrator of the murder must be punished after all, and the punishment should be punished. As for the Liao people here, they were beaten, and it is reasonable to compensate for it, at least the cost of the soup and medicine should be compensated, and then some more frightened expenses should be compensated. If you want to get a sum of money, then the Liao people will not have so much resentment. In this way, it is easy to deal with the matter, above the court, the major affairs of the family and the country cannot be discussed every day, and the trivial matters, why bother to work hard? ”

Fu Bi's words made many people nod their heads again and again. Those who beat people will be punished, and the Liao people will pay more money to calm their anger, and the past will pass, and the major affairs of the family and country above the court cannot be discussed, and it is not worth it to talk about this little thing.

Unexpectedly, that Gan Qi Gan Jingluo was so upright, his eyebrows stood upright, and he immediately said: "Rich and fair, the judgment is not like this, impartial law enforcement is the way of a gentleman, those who beat people must be punished, so will the Liao people who do it first be punished?" He was the first to beat people, should he also be dragged to the yamen and sentenced to a board? There is also the cause of the matter, if you don't pay for something, like a bandit, how can this be judged? ”

Fu Bi is really uncomfortable, is this Gan Qi stupid? Or stupid? Or stupid?

Could it be that the princes of the Manchu Dynasty understand the matter as far as you Ganqi are concerned? Are you Ganqi smart?

Everyone is tacitly knowing, but you Ganqi are going to be unforgiving for a guy who fights on the street?

"Then give the beater some more money for the soup and medicine, so that he can feel better." Fu Bi took the role of "peacemaker" to the highest level.

"There must always be a reason for the incident, how can you handle things in such a confused way? This matter has already spread all over Bianliang City, so how can the people of the world evaluate the imperial court? If the court is unfair, it will shake the foundation of the country, and it must not be disposed of so casually. "Gan Qi is arguing with reason.

Fu Bi in this matter really hates Gan Qi, a young man. In the past, Fu Bi didn't talk about any likes and dislikes to Gan Qi, Gan Qi and Han Qi competed, Fu Bi also sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and today's Gan Qi made Fu Bi feel disgusted.

Zhao Shu sat on the stage, and he was also embarrassed, if this matter had been placed a few months ago, he would have agreed to Fu Bi's method, and he would have to get by. But now, he knew that Gan Qi had the heart to raise troops against Liao, and what Gan Qi said to Zhao Shu also made Zhao Shu have some thoughts about Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. He also knew that Yan Yun was already in chaos.

So Zhao Shu wants to be tough, people always have a little temper, and Xiao Hu is disrespectful in front of him, and he is also angry. Now that Gan Qi said those words, he also has some confidence. But if he really wants to be tough on the Liao people, he is also a little weak-hearted.

So Zhao Shu was embarrassed and asked, "Do you still have something to say?" ”

Zhang Shangying of the Imperial Court said: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that what Gan Jingluo said is not bad, and he will not be wrong at any time. The will of the people is the heart of the king, and the ministers think that they will not be wrong when they act in accordance with the will of the people. ”

In the imperial history, Cheng Tang Jie said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that it is a trivial matter, why think too much?" There are both right and wrong, and there is no mistake in enforcing the law impartially. ”

Zhao Shu nodded when he heard this, but he named him: "Feng Qing thinks this matter should be handled?" ”

When Feng Jing heard this, he was about to speak, but suddenly saw his father-in-law Fu Bi looking back at him, which made him stunned in his heart, and he stepped forward to change his words: "The minister thinks that impartiality has the benefit of impartiality, and Bianliang Baixin will be a bitter envoy for a long time, so that the people can get angry." However, there are benefits to calming people down, and it also saves a lot of trouble, and then it is okay to compensate the merchants who have suffered losses and those who have started to fight the Khitans. ”

Feng Jing said something, but he didn't say it. He is also difficult, his father-in-law is in person, what can he do?

Gan Qi was naturally a little disappointed, but immediately answered: "Your Majesty, even Governor Feng said that the people of Bianliang have been suffering for a long time, so this matter must be handled impartially." In this way, the anger in the hearts of the people can be appeased, and the people will be more supportive of His Majesty. ”

"Gan Jingluo, Qingli three years, Liao State is a trivial matter, Chen Bing Bianjing, want the army to go south, if it is not for all kinds of mediation, there has already been a great war, I don't know how many people are ruined. If you talk to them today, if the Liao people once again show troops on the border, will you Ganqi go to mediate again? Fu Bi was a little angry.

"Hold the salary to fight the fire, the salary is not exhausted, and the fire will not be extinguished. It is a joke that the Song Dynasty, which is 8,000 miles old, lives under the intimidation of foreign countries, and begs foreign enemies to calm their anger with the humiliation of their own people. "Gan Qi just got up.

"Child's fairy tale is ridiculously naïve. What do you know about family and country affairs? Fu Bi was also angry.

"The major affairs of the family and the country, the lower officials may not understand it very well. The lower officials only know the teachings of the sages, the way of the gentleman, and read the history books for example, know the prosperity for honor and disgrace, be born in sorrow and die in peace, eight thousand miles of territory, thousands of people, but can not protect a righteous and courageous people, but still want the world to return to the heart, the society is peaceful. Dare to ask the rich minister, after the rest of the matter, how do the Liao people think of my Great Song Dynasty? How do the Liao people say that I am the Great Song Dynasty behind their backs? Weak? What do you take? Feel free to do it? Today wants land, tomorrow wants money, can the rich minister dare to say a word in the past? Do you dare to say a word in the future? That Liao people are respectable to the Great Song Dynasty? The rich minister dares to guarantee that the Liao people will not ask for money for the border land because of a trivial matter? Gan Qi said more and more, almost pointing at Fu Bi's nose and scolding.

"Bold, at such a young age, you dare to say such a wild word in the court!" Fu Bi is angry, and the exit is scolding.

Gan Qi didn't wait for Fu Bi to say anything next, and immediately said: "If the Liao people take advantage of this matter to make trouble in the future, I, Gan Qi, am willing to mediate in the Liao country, without cutting an inch of ancestral land and not giving the people any money." If you can't let the Liao people die down, I am willing to raise my head to see you. Rich and Prosperous, how? ”

Gan Qi looked at Fu Bi in front of his head, turned his head to look at the people in the court again, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am willing to use the head of Xiang as a guarantee, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shu on the stage was a little enthusiastic, he knew what Gan Qi was thinking before, and seeing that Gan Qi was willing to take his life and fight the Liao people to the death at this time, how could he not be excited? With such a courtier, how could the emperor not be happy?

But it was the rich and quiet words: "Gan Jing is a little better, and his life is gone." At a young age, I really don't know how thick the sky is. A street brawler, but you can save your life so much. Xu is the prince of the Manchu Dynasty, and you are willing to understand the righteousness ......"

"It's just for the people to return to their hearts, and even more so that my Great Song Dynasty is not despised by the Liao people, so what's the matter?"

In fact, Gan Qi had something to say, he really wanted to see Liao do something on the border, such as Chen Bing's intimidation. Gan Qi is really willing to go to Liao to mediate, but this "mediation" is not an ordinary "mediation".

Incidents are always made, and things are done by people. For example, Chen Bing of Liao State this time, but he was not intimidated, but really started to fight first...... Who can tell you this? Especially there is a Gan Qi, who can keep the Liao people from fighting?

What should I do when I look at this Bianliang City? Let's see if anyone is really so shameless and really wants to make peace.

Gan Qi was at the border, he was beaten by the Liao, and he wanted to fight back, who could say that he was wrong? You can't abandon the city and the people and lead the troops to run, right?

Maybe he Ganqi will go to Liao to mediate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am willing to use my head as a guarantee for this matter, deal with it impartially, let the world be grateful to Your Majesty, and let the people and the court be of one heart and one mind. What do you think? Gan Qi asked again.

No one contradicted him.

Even Fu Bi just said yin and yang: "Hmph...... At that time, if you want to lose money, it will not be a little soup and medicine expenses, and you want to come to Gan Jingluo's family to be rich and affordable. ”

"I'd rather pay for the head than pay for it." Gan Qi replied.

"Haha...... The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty turned out to be one person who understood the righteousness ......" Fu Bi's words were heartbroken. All eyes were on Ganchi.

"The person who fought the Khitans, named Ganba, is my brother, who has been in battle with me in Yongzhou, and has governed Hufan with me in Quanzhou, and has been through life and death several times. If I can't even speak up impartially about this little thing, and I want him to make compromises, not to mention the people of the world, what kind of face do I have to go to my ancestors and ancestors? I, Ganqi, who are still qualified to stand above the court? Gan Qi said bluntly, this matter can't be hidden, rather than waiting for someone to say it later, it is better to say it yourself. can also win some sympathy, and it also makes Ganqi's performance in the court today not seem so abrupt.

"Oh, that's the way it is, that's it...... The heads of the Xiang Shang have all moved out, and the affairs of the Liao people, Gan Jingluo will deal with them together, and when the anger of the Liao people is concerned, please also ask Gan Jingluo to calm down. There is still some yin and yang weirdness in Fu Bi's tone, he also thinks clearly, the Liao people will be angry and will use the topic to play, but he doesn't think that the Liao people will really start a war between the two countries because of this matter.

The Liao people used the topic to play, but they just wanted to get some benefits, and when the time came, they let Gan Qi bear it together. Anyway, Gan Qi is rich, and he always has a net worth of one or two million, all of which are given to the Liao people, and it is not Fubi's turn to feel distressed.

This young man wants to ask for hardship and kill himself, and ten cows can't pull it back, so let him go.

It's also trouble-free, anyway, this young man standing in the court is also an eyesore, and he is still the emperor's brother-in-law, so it's not easy to move him, and it's just right to kill himself.

Zhao Shu looked at Fu Bi, then at the people of the Manchu Dynasty, and said with a weak heart: "Then this matter will be handed over to Gan Qing to deal with together, and peace is precious." ”

Perhaps everyone thought that Gan Qi should be embarrassed at this time.

Only Gan Qi was happy in his heart, he didn't think that this matter would be his turn to deal with it, it was his turn to deal with it, why should peace be precious?

It's the best to fight!

It is not only necessary to fight, but also to stir up public opinion in the entire Bianliang City and fight together. After the fight, everyone relieved their anger together.

This is a matter of technology.

"Obey the order! This matter will be dealt with properly. Gan Qi feigned bitterness on his face, and used bitterness to hide the joy in his heart.

Above the court, there was also a big man Zeng Gongliang who had not spoken, but he looked at Gan Qi frequently, and seemed to always feel that something was wrong.
