Chapter 582: Willing to fight bravely outside, the thieves of the country are in chaos inside
Gan Xiang is under siege? This...... How is this possible? A few days ago, was there still good news on the official documents? Zezhou's big victory, why is it under siege today? ”
Emperor Zhao Ji was stunned, and he was also a little panicked, it's not that he is young and has no concentration, Gan Qi and Xianggong's farewell books have come, how can this be fixed?
Gan Ba was covered in blood, the blood was dry, his hair was black, and the bloody breath was disgusting, and the appearance in front of the emperor was full of impact. In Ganch's words, you have to do a full set of plays.
Above the court, there was already an uproar, such a big event, where is there any red tape, Gan Ba entered the city and went straight to the Privy Council, and then a group of officials of the Privy Council took Gan Ba directly into the palace, and then the bell above the palace sounded, and the officials from ten miles and eight towns rushed over.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers have no food, in order to save food, one meal a day, the attack is not overcome, and there is no danger in defending, and Gan Xianggong does not dare to easily order the retreat before the enemy's iron hoof, and please send troops to rescue quickly!" This is the plot line, and Gan Ba memorized it for a long time along the way.
"Yes, yes, send troops to rescue, send troops to rescue, we must rescue Gan Xiang. Who is the leader? Zhao Ji was a little flustered, and his eyes looked at the few ministers in the front row.
Fu Bi bowed his head and said nothing, Ouyang Xiu looked anxious, but he was helpless, he didn't know how to lead troops to fight. Zhao Yi was even more invigorated, Sima Guang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he didn't know what to do for a while.
Zeng Gongliang should be more anxious than anyone else, because his son Zeng Xiaokuan was in the army, and he joined the army, and he was a clerical subordinate officer brought by Gan Qi. The words he spoke were somewhat concerned and chaotic: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, you must send troops to rescue as soon as possible, without further ado, the sooner the better." ”
It is still the main topic that Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, you should ask the old minister Di to lead the troops again, there are still 50,000 newly formed forbidden troops in Gyeonggi that can be used, and they should be quickly assembled, raise grain and grass, and quickly pull out." ”
Wang Anshi was also kept in the dark, how did he know that Gan Xianggong was surrounding the capital of Liao at this time, waiting for the enemy's reinforcements to come.
Fu Bi finally spoke: "Old Minister Di is old now, and I have heard that he is not in good health, he has less food, and he is also emaciated, I am afraid that he will not be able to fight." ”
Fu Bi is not talking nonsense, Di Qing's health has really been getting worse and worse recently, there is no other reason, that is, he is old, he has survived most of his life, and it is too difficult to live a long life. After living for so many years, God already has eyes.
When Zhao Ji heard this, he immediately asked again: "Who else is available?" Come on. ”
"The generals of the Northwest Army are worthy of use, and they are afraid that far water will not be able to solve the near fire." Fu Bi replied, looked left and right, and said: "It is said that Gan Xianggong has won a hundred battles, alas...... Everyone in the world knows that as long as Gan Xianggong leads the troops to the battle, he will be victorious, and today ...... I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that a character like Gan Xianggong would defeat the ......."
What Fu Bi said was pity and helplessness. But it is this word that obviously has another meaning.
Isn't it a hundred battles won? Isn't it world-shattering? Planted, right?
In the future, the people of this world will no longer say that this Gan Xianggong has won every battle, right?
In the public opinion of this world, Fu Bi has seen it too thoroughly, even if a person has tens of millions of credits, as long as one thing is done wrong, as long as one thing goes wrong, then he will immediately fall off the altar, and his previous achievements will be lost, and he may even be discredited.
People's hearts are like this, and people's hearts are fooled by people like Fubi.
At this point in the plot, it's time for General Gan Bagan to appear, and he still has lines.
Just look at Gan Ba crying blood and asking angrily: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask about something!" ”
"What's the matter, tell me quickly." Zhao Ji was not angry, but anxious.
"Your Majesty, more than 100,000 troops on the front line fought bravely and bloodily, and the prime minister has written many times to urge food, why has the food not been available for a long time? The front line was already overwhelming, why is it now in such a dangerous situation? Your Majesty, why is this? The minister is a military general, he only cares about fighting for the country, and his life has been fought out thousands of times, the minister is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of defeat, but he is defeated like this, the minister ...... Unconvinced! Death is unwilling! Gan Ba raised his voice and recited the lines with emotion.
After the lines are finished, I have to continue acting, playing a person with red eyes, heartbroken, and grief.
also blames Ganba's poor acting skills, the difference is that there are no tears.
Gan Ba's blunt words were deafening.
The audience, you look at me, I look at you, shaking your head, sighing and sighing.
When Sima Guang heard this, he stepped forward and said: "The minister deserves death, the minister is ashamed of Gan Xianggong, the minister is ashamed of Jiangshan Sheji, and the minister is guilty!" ”
Sima Guang's conscience was condemned.
Fu Bi did not speak, because his conscience was not condemned.
Zeng Gongliang made a round: "Sima Zhongcheng, I don't blame you for this. ”
After saying this, Zeng Gongliang looked at Fu Bi.
Fu Bi felt Zeng Gongliang's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Zeng Xiang, what do you mean by this?" ”
Zeng Gongliang smiled contemptuously and did not answer.
Ouyang Xiu and Zhao Yi also looked at Fu Bi unconsciously. Wang Anshi was staring at Fu Bi tightly.
"What do you all look at the old man? Isn't it the old man who made Gan Xiang lose the battle? Fu Bi was not weak at all, and said: "At this moment, it is imperative that we quickly dispatch troops and send troops to rescue." ”
This said to Zhao Ji's heart, if Gan Qi died, Zhao Ji couldn't accept it no matter what, even if hundreds of thousands of troops died, Gan Qi couldn't die.
"The old minister Di is old, and the Northwest Army will be too far away, and he has to guard against repeated party items. Only the 50,000 troops of Gyeonggi are available, who will lead the troops? Zhao Ji settled down a lot and began to get down to business.
No one answered, such a big thing, if even Gan Qi was defeated, wouldn't anyone who went up be in vain? If you go to Yanyun to set up a defensive line, it's okay, at least hide in the city pass. It's not a good errand to go outside the gate to save Ganqi, and nine times out of ten your own life will be put into it.
It's not that everyone is afraid of death, it's the matter of leading the troops to fight, and there is really no one in the court who is confident that he will do it.
All the people did not speak. Even if you want to nominate a person, in the capital, such a talent can't be thought of when you think about it.
It was Wang Anshi who spoke: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Old Minister Di give it a try." ”
Fu Bi replied again: "In case the boat and car are tired, and the old minister Di has a good one on the road, and the army is not handsome, wouldn't it be ......?"
Everyone forgot that there was actually a fierce general who led his troops to fight.
I heard this fierce general speak: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops to rescue, but if he can't save it, the minister will also die on the battlefield." ”
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on this fierce general.
Although most of the people are not familiar with him, they also know that there is such a fierce man around Gan Qi, since Gan Qi first went to the battlefield, this person has been with him, and he has been promoted again and again by virtue of his military exploits.
This person is considered to be the general of Gan Qi Ganxiang, right? However, the Great Song Dynasty did not have such a general. But the person in front of him is indeed a fierce general, not to mention anything else, being able to break out of the siege and come to the capital to ask for help, which proves that this person is very brave.
Good candidate!
Zhao Ji also slapped his head, in comparison, he is more familiar with Gan Ba than others, he has met many times, although there is no in-depth communication, but he also knows that Gan Qi has a lot of trust in Gan Ba, and Gan Ba can break through like this, he must also be loyal.
"Okay, General Feng Gan Bagan is the Sipin Zhongwu General, and the two armies of Gyeonggi are both commanders, hurry up and gather troops and horses and go north to rescue." When Zhao Ji said this, his heart was settled.
With Gan Ba to rescue, the success rate is bound to be extremely high, the defeat of the army is not terrible, and if you are defeated, you can come again, Gan Qi is alive. Gan Qi is alive, and someone has come to the Great Song Dynasty all over again.
"Please also ask Your Majesty to allocate grain and grass." Ganba's lines are interlocking, as if someone had already predicted the direction of the situation.
Zhao Ji hurriedly went to see Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister will go to Qianzhuang to transfer the money to the third division, and the supervisors will purchase grain from the major grain stores. ”
No one objected anymore, not even Fubi.
The big thing was solved, Gan Ba was promoted, and Gan Ba's official position was the temporary commander of the Tianwu and Japanese Second Army, but Gan Ba's task was to escort the grain and grass.
But there's one more big thing to do.
When everyone left the imperial city, Wang Anshi found Gan Ba as soon as possible, and hurriedly spoke: "General Gan, what is the situation over there?" Can it still be steady? How long will it last? ”
Wang Anshi is really anxious.
Gan Ba wanted to laugh in his heart, but he quickly endured it, put on a straight face, tried to pretend to be sad, and replied: "Xianggong Wang, my eldest brother will only sacrifice his life for the country, not such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
There's something wrong with this line.
"General Gan, I'm not asking this, I'm asking how long the general's grain and grass can last?" Wang Anshi is anxious about business.
"Huh?" Gan Ba had to think about it to see which line was suitable, and after thinking about it, he replied: "The last general left in a hurry, and I don't know the specifics, anyway, there is one meal a day in the army, and the sooner the better." ”
Wang Anshi is in a hurry, so he will run away.
Gan Ba has to do another thing, there are still a few articles in his arms, and he has to go to the Beijing Times to find Cai Jing.
Early in the morning of the second day, the front page of the Beijing Times was outside: "Gan Xianggong is under siege and in danger"
The boy who sold the newspaper shouted on the street: "Today's Times, Gan Xianggong is under siege, in danger, and his life is not long." ”
Passers-by stopped and looked at the child.
Just wait for the child to shout again.
Everyone gathered around.
"What's going on? Don't talk nonsense. ”
"Hurry up, get me a copy of the newspaper."
"Take the money, quick!"
"I want one."
"Nonsense, it's all nonsense."
"The Beijing Times also likes to talk nonsense now?"
Everyone gathered around as they talked, and they opened the newspaper and read it.
"No way, this can't be!"
"Gan Xianggong is the god of war in the world, how can Wuqu bend down, how can he be defeated?"
"Isn't it true? This Jinghua Times is a public industry, not the nonsense of the Kaifeng Times, so it won't be fake. ”
"This ......"
"How is this good, if Gan Xianggong dies in battle, this is worth it?"
"Alas! Gan Xianggong should not personally lead the troops to fight, and now that he is the ruler of the court, he should not go in person. ”
"Lack of food and grass? Why is there not enough food and grass? How can there be a shortage of food and grass? ”
"I'll go home, I still have a stone of grain at home, I'll donate eighty catties, and let the court send it quickly!"
"Hurry up and send food to Gan Xianggong!!"
"I'll donate three buckets too."
"The imperial court, this imperial court...... The army is outside, but it can run out of food! ”
The people of this country are so good, and the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. If Gan Qi knew that he would make the people donate food, Gan Qi would inevitably feel guilty.
It is also because of Ganqi that the victory in foreign wars has brought more cohesion to the country and made more people proud of the country.
There were no one or two donors of grain, but everywhere people carried food to the Privy Council.
The Privy Council did not dare to accept it, and only said that the three divisions were responsible for the matter.
At the gate of the third division, there were immediately countless people who delivered food.
Wang Anshi naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly shipped the money, but he also ordered that all the food should be purchased according to the market price, and the donated grain would never be accepted.
Wang Anshi was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.
On the second day, the Beijing Times had a front-page headline: "Willing to fight bravely outside, national thieves make chaos inside"
Who is the national thief? The article contains insinuations, there is a prince who frequently appears in the article, and many ministers in the court frequently write books, but only this prince has been obstructing.
For a while, public opinion was in an uproar, it turned out that the enemy was inside?
Who is Bao Xianggong?
Zeng Gongliang? Ouyang Xiu? Zhao Xuan? Wang Anshi? Sima Guang? Fubi?
That's right, Fu Bi, Bao Xianggong, this doesn't mean Fu Bi, who else can you say?
Beijing Times special commentator Taixue Wu Chengwu Dr. Wu posted a commentator's article: "The country died outside? Die inside! 》
Beijing Times special commentator Zhongshu Su Zhe Su Shizhong published a commentator's article: "The national thief is in charge, and he must be punished!" 》
In Bianliang City, the streets and alleys are full of discussions, and there are many people who are filled with righteous indignation.
"So that's what happened, and it's infuriating."
"How can there be such a shameless person in the world?"
"The rich old thief must not die well!"
"But it doesn't have to be Fubi, and no one says who it is?"
"Who else can Bao Xianggong? Who else could there be if it wasn't Fubi? ”
"My father is an official, although he can't go to the court, but he also said that this person is Fu Bi, and it is Fu Bi who has slandered and deceived him in front of His Majesty many times, so there is today's disaster."
"Humph! If Gan Xianggong really sacrificed his life for the country this time, Fubi and this thief should be exterminated! ”
……
Emperor Zhao Ji, in the study, was also looking at today's newspaper, shaking his head and sighing, really speaking, he is also responsible for this matter, and it is too late to regret it, because he is the emperor, and the decision on this matter was finally made by him.
Looking at the folds, Sima Guang's "Book of Sins".
Zhao Ji didn't want to look at it, so he put it aside.
Flip again, Su Zhe's "Impeachment of Fu Bi Book".
Zhao Ji put it aside again, and then flipped it, Cai Qu's "Eighteen Articles of Fu Bi's Guilt".
Flip it again, Wang Anshi's "A Thousand Words of His Majesty the Emperor", take a look, it is still impeached by Fu Bi.
Forget it, don't turn it over.
Zhao Ji got up and went out, walked around the Yanfu Palace, and said silently in his heart: "Mr. Gan, Mr. Gan, you must come back safely......"
