Chapter 502: The Emperor Becomes the Emperor
During this time, Bianliang City did not look any different, the streets were still bustling with people, and the people knew that there was a war in the north, and the Liao people were unwilling to lose Yanyun, so the army made a comeback.
However, no one seems to be worried about the victory or defeat of the war in the north, firstly, because Yanyun may be really far away, at least psychologically, so far that ordinary people are not in danger of daring to the war in the north, and people feel that winning a battle or losing a battle will not affect the daily life of the people of Bianliang.
The war is far away, and this is the common psychological feeling of the people of Bianliang.
Second, it is also because the public opinion is one-sided, and they all fall to Gan Qi, and they all know that it is Gan Qi and Gan Xianggong who led the troops in the north, so they all say that Gan Xianggong has won a hundred battles, and this battle must be safe and secure, and the Liao people are not worth mentioning in front of Gan Xianggong.
This kind of public opinion first circulated among Ganqi's friends and students, and slowly spread to the entire people.
For Gan Qi, this kind of public opinion may be good, as if he has set up a persona and won the trust of all the people, which is both word-of-mouth and prestige.
Of course, there is also a bad side, people set too high, after all, it is not necessarily a good thing, once one day people have a little bit of collapse, the consequences are unimaginable.
It is said that Gan Qi is unparalleled in civil and military affairs, winning all battles, and no one is an opponent. In a hundred years of life, Gan Qi is only in his early twenties, and it is naturally a lot of pressure to maintain this character in this life.
Public opinion among the people is different from the discussion in the court, the emperor's ministers are worried and anxious every day, victory or defeat is very important to them, they are knowledgeable people, they know how much benefit a victory will bring, and they know what the consequences will be once defeated.
But this imperial court, since Gan Qi entered Yanyun, has been kidnapped, and the wheels of war are rolling forward, and no one can stop it. This is also the result of Ganqi's plan, once the war starts, he can only go all out, and he can't stop if he wants to, so that the entire court can only pray that Ganqi will win.
Even if it's Fubi, he can only think so.
The army of the north of the entire country was almost pressed up, which was equivalent to studing all the chips on the gambling table.
Once defeated, it is really possible that the enemy cavalry will quickly descend and surround Bianliang within ten days.
Emperor Zhao Shu, waiting for the war report every day, reading the war report every day, waking up when he sleeps at night, getting up and going to the ancestral tablet to kneel on the incense and pray, begging the ancestors to bless, so that he can get a moment of inner peace.
Yan Yunlai's battle report is always the news from ten days ago, and there is no way to do it.
Zhao Shu waited hard every day, waiting for a good news, and the entire court was also waiting for a good news.
The emperor of Liao drove his own expedition, and more than 100,000 people stormed the Gubei Pass, Di Qing's recital tried not to use those words and phrases that made people anxious, but the entire court was still extremely anxious.
On the Datong side, the grassland light cavalry is also more than 100,000, and Gan Qi garrisoned Datong with 50,000 soldiers and horses, even this data on paper alone is enough to make people extremely anxious.
This is not only that, there is also anxious news in the northwest, and the party people have begun to frequently mobilize people and horses, and on the border, the cavalry of the party people are running around to spy on the city, and it has also reached the point where black clouds are pressing the city.
Everyone knew that as long as there was a little unfavorable news from Yanyun, there would inevitably be a war in the northwest, and the party members would immediately raise troops to the south.
Even if the Yanyun war lasts for a long time, there is a chance that the party will attack with a large army.
The trend of the Three Kingdoms is like this, there will always be people who want to take advantage of the fisherman, and there will always be people who want to take advantage.
It can be seen how heavy the consequences will be if this battle is lost.
In this way, we can also understand the thoughts of those who want to maintain the status quo and are reluctant to go to war, what they think is not unreasonable, but only two sides of the same thing, both of which are justified and right.
It can also be seen why Gan Qi used that method to start the war in the first place, and on a certain level, Gan Qi is a bit extreme.
Gan Qi actually has a more secure path to take, such as slowly becoming an official, slowly making meritorious contributions, slowly fighting for power and profit in the court, Zhao Shu died and Zhao Zhongzhen, slowly boiled up, stayed up for about 20 years, really held the power in his hands, and then slowly changed the country with his own knowledge and insight, reformed internal affairs, reformed the military, accumulated strength, and even reformed the social productive forces, and introduced some scientific and technological reforms.
Maybe in another decade or two, when Ganchi is fifty or sixty years old, everything is ready, and then there will be war, safely.
But Gan Qi still took this shortcut, which also has Gan Qi's own considerations, one is that Gan Qi really doesn't want to wait longer, people have good and bad luck, who knows if Gan Qi will have an accident in his life? The political struggle is also an unknown, and who knows that Gan Qi will really be able to rise politically in his life?
Decades is too long, just seize the day. Ganchi wanted to avoid those boring political battles, and wanted to climb to the sky in one step, and war was the only channel.
There is another point, that is, Gan Qi is a little worried about his identity, if he can't quickly grasp the authority, his status as a relative, the emperor's brother-in-law, and the future emperor's uncle, is likely to be completely out of authority because of a word. Only by quickly taking the authority into your hands can everything be safe.
There are too many unknowns in life.
So Gan Qi took his life to fight, he stood in front of the battle in gold armor, this country, you have to move forward, this nation has to move forward, living in this era, you have to do these things.
The good news finally came, Gan Xianggong was in Datong, with an army of 50,000, he broke more than 100,000 Liao cavalry, captured more than 60,000, and got more than 100,000 horses.
Before the good news reached the palace, the people who reported the good news shouted along the road. The whole Bianliang immediately fell into a state of jubilation, and the people rushed to tell each other, overjoyed, and even had an excuse to go out for a big drink.
Everyone said that they had known that the Gan Xiang Guild had won a big victory, and sure enough, the Liao people were just a small person for Gan Xianggong, and they were not worth mentioning.
Then drink and drink, and float a big white.
In the palace, the emperor heard the good news, and was so surprised that he didn't even change his clothes, and he didn't have time to wear his hair bun and crown, so he quickly rushed to the front of the vertical arch hall, stood on the stairs at the entrance of the hall, and smiled at the sky with the good news.
One by one, the officials, listening to the bells on the buildings of the imperial city, came quickly.
The emperor stood at the door of the main hall as if greeting, and even congratulated the visitors one by one.
The scene is both hilarious and somewhat hilarious. The good news is also passed on in the hands of everyone.
Naturally, many officials also congratulated the emperor in return, and also congratulated each other, and even did not enter the main hall, but congratulated each other on the square.
Zeng Gongliang, Fu Bi and other ministers all gathered around the emperor, and they were foaming at the mouth.
Ancestors blessed.
Ganchi genius.
The emperor used people properly, just like the Han Wu used Huo Yao in the past, and did not judge heroes by their youth......
The emperor has the favor of heaven, and the Great Song Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven......
Say whatever words are nice and beautiful. It's not that everyone is trying to pat themselves on the back, but they are really excited.
Emperor Zhao Shu was excited, and asked: "This time Gan Qi won in Datong, and he has already rushed to the north of Yanjing to help, Yanyun was stable at that time, right?" ”
Zeng Gongliang nodded again and again: "It's safe, it's safe, as long as Gan Qi arrives in Yanjing, everything will be fine, everything will be fine, and the Liao people's vitality will be greatly damaged, and they can keep peace for decades." ”
"That's good, that's good, from now on the north is worry-free, the party people see that the Great Song Dynasty is so powerful, and they will not dare to act rashly in the future, I have been in the dynasty for two years, and there is no war in the world, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment since then, which is really fortunate!" Zhao Shu said excitedly, inside and outside the words, the excitement is on the peace of the world, as long as there is no threat outside, this foundation is stable, and it will be easy for thousands of generations.
Zeng Gongliang smiled and nodded, what the emperor said, he agreed very much, the current situation has changed from a hundred years of weakness, and it is well deserved. He opened his mouth and said: "Now, the court should discuss the matter of rewarding, so many brave soldiers, so many planners, and the commander of Gan Shumi, this immortal achievement, should be rewarded!" ”
As soon as this sentence came out, some people's expressions were obviously wrong.
It's not just Fubi.
and Emperor Zhao Shu, who was also stunned.
The people on the left and right all showed some different colors on their faces, Gan Qi, who was twenty-four years old and dissatisfied, was already the privy envoy of the court.
Resealed?
Prime Minister? The same book door under the flat chapter matter? The first of the hundred officials? Feng Wangye?
If it's a different person, such as whether this person is Fu Bi, Zeng Gongliang, or an old man, it doesn't matter. Seal it, seal it, you can have any name, just pile it up. Anyway, these people are all gray-haired, and they are not far from the coffin.
But Ganch, obviously, has a problem. Gan Qi is still young, he still has decades to live, so what will he do next year? What's next? What about twenty years from now?
Prince Feng? Envelope...... Emperor......
When Gan Qi took Yan Yun, Zhao Shu never thought about this, the Duke of the State was the Duke of the State, and the Privy Envoy was the Privy Envoy, but felt that this was all as it should be.
At this time, Zhao Shu discovered the problem.
As the old saying goes, the merit is high and the lord is shocked. Originally, it was just a word, but now that I look at it, it has really become a real problem.
Zhao Shu even regretted it a little, regretted that he was too excited before, regretted that he was only thinking about things from the perspective of being related to Gan Qi before, and regretted that he should not have given Gan Qi the privy envoy Jiayan Guogong all at once. You should slow down, first seal a privy deputy envoy, and seal a small prince, there will be no embarrassment at this time, and then just add a little more to Ganqi.
In fact, the reason is not that Zhao Shu was too excited before, but that Zhao Shu had just ascended the throne before, eager to prove his legitimacy, eager to prove his ability to be an emperor, and eager to need Gan Qi to help him prove all this.
Now that the proof is over, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are convinced that he, the nephew of Renzong, has ascended the throne in the next generation, and everyone in the world no longer talks about him in private that he bumped into shit and picked up an emperor, and even the Empress Dowager Cao's attitude towards him has begun to change.
Zhao Shu's emperor was completely stable.
So he became an emperor and began to think from the emperor's point of view.
Twenty-year-old Gan Qi, one more step of sealing, it is unsealable, there are still decades in the future, what should I do?
This is not to say that Zhao Shu has any dark thoughts of rabbits and dead dogs, but Zhao Shu is facing a real problem at this time. What to do with Ganchi in the future?
Fu Bi hesitated for a while, observed his words a few times, and said: "Eh, this matter is not urgent, and now Gan Qi has just taken up the post of privy envoy, and he has not even personally dealt with the affairs in the yamen. ”
Zeng Gongliang, in fact, after saying that sentence just now, he regretted it a little, like a person who can be the prime minister, how can he not understand the truth? He was too excited just now, and he wanted to have a good relationship with Ganqi too much, because his son's future was tied to Ganqi.
At this time, when he came back to his senses, Zeng Gongliang immediately understood it, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, wait until Gan Shumi completely defeats the Liao, and then talk about this matter when I return to Beijing." ”
At this time, Emperor Zhao Shu relaxed for a moment and said with a smile: "Yes, I'll talk about it when Dao Jian comes back." ”
Fu Bi also immediately changed the topic: "Your Majesty, let's enter the palace, right?" Entering the temple to deliberate. ”
"Okay, enter the palace, order to go down, prepare a big feast, tonight you all stay in the palace to eat, and prepare for singing and dancing in Dasheng Mansion." Emperor Zhao Shu had already arranged the celebration.
Needless to say, the excitement is staggered, the singing and dancing are leveled, the music is continuous, and even the opera team of Liyuan Spring was invited to perform a few new plays, and Gan Xianggong fought against the water of the Juma River.
The flag rolls, the fake knives and guns come and go, the Gan Xianggong in the play, the white-faced scholar looks, at the beginning, he was going to the poetry meeting in Xiongzhou City, and good sentences came out frequently, and then he said goodbye to everyone, crossed the river, and then the big war was going to start, one would be anxious, one would raise his arms and shout, and one would be brave.
Zhao Shu was happy, drank two more glasses, and waited until the feast dispersed, and most of the officials staggered and went home.
After Fu Bi and Zeng Gongliang said goodbye to the emperor, they also left the palace together.
But halfway through, the eunuch Li Xian came: "The rich old minister stays and stays." ”
Fu Bi stopped, turned his head to look, saw that it was Li Xian, and said with a smile: "What's the matter with Li Neiguan?" ”
Li Xian didn't hide it, and said directly: "Your Majesty invites the old minister to drink a bowl of sobering soup." ”
Fu Bi was also surprised, looked at Zeng Gongliang beside him, and asked, "Your Majesty called the old man alone?" ”
Li Xian nodded.
Fu Bi glanced at Zeng Gongliang again, smiled slightly, and raised his hand: "Internal official, please lead the way." ”
Zeng Gongliang looked at Fu Bi's distant back, frowned, and shook his head: "Alas, ......"
In the imperial study, the decanting soup was ready, the emperor propped his head on the table with his hands, and Fu Bi, who was saluting, sat aside.
Fu Bi thanked him, and then the emperor was drinking soup, and Fu Bi was also drinking soup.
The emperor had something to ask, but he felt a little guilty. Fu Bi seemed to be able to guess what the emperor was going to say and ask, so he knew that he shouldn't have asked first.
The two of them did not speak for a long time.
When the good news reached Bianliang, Gan Qi had already arrived at the Gubei Pass, and a celebratory feast was being held in Tokyo, and Gan Qi stood on top of the newly renovated pass, looking at the bonfire in the Liao army camp in the distance.
The weather is getting warmer, and the corpses under the city walls begin to emit a rotten stench, which is disgusting.
Di Qing stood beside Gan Qi, and the two were also talking about the war......
