The bells of the Imperial City rang again, and the rapid bells rang throughout the inner city, and not long ago, the bells of the Imperial City rang like this, because of the war on the border.

Today, it sounded like this again, and in the yamen, large and small, many officials were all pale and darkened, and they didn't need to guess to know that it was a big deal.

Fu Bi in the political hall heard the bell and walked out of the class room as soon as possible, looking up at the Imperial City Tower not far away.

A large number of officials also came out of the left and right class rooms, all with anxious faces.

"Rich Xianggong, the bell is so urgent, isn't it...... Isn't it the defeat of the Xiongzhou side? ”

Obviously, most of the people present were conjectures.

Fu Bi is really a little anxious this time, once Xiongzhou is defeated, then the problem is big, Hebei is plain in all directions, sixty years have not heard of the war, in a hurry, the Liao people are afraid that it is like opening the floodgates, sweeping thousands of miles. Even if the battle situation is stabilized, I am afraid that I will lose countless ground.

I saw Fu Bi's two old legs fluttering rapidly, and he also said: "Gan Qi Gandaojian, even if he is all over the house, he is not wronged, and he can't offset such a sin by peeling the skin and eating meat......

When the people left and right heard this, they were shocked, and hurriedly followed Fu Bi's footsteps, and the audience was buzzing.

"Big things are not good, big things are not good!"

"I shouldn't have let Gan Daojian go to Hebei to inspect what armaments......

"Alas...... In his early twenties, dressed in a red robe, he got carried away! ”

At this time, Zeng Gongliang, who came out of the class room on the other side of the political affairs hall, also hurriedly joined the team, and his first reaction in his heart was that the Xiongzhou army was defeated, and after hearing everyone's discussions, he immediately said: "What's the hurry?" There are still tens of thousands of troops in Hebei, and there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in Gyeonggi, all of you are the pillars of the imperial court, how can you be so flustered in case of trouble. ”

"Zeng Xianggong, it's not that we are flustered, it's really a big deal."

"Yes, the inheritance of the ancestors, thanks to the hands of my generation, even if they die, what face do they have to face the ancestors and ancestors."

Zeng Gongliang didn't answer, only quickened his pace and walked forward, and hurried into the palace, the people of the Privy Council should also be hurrying to the palace at this time, the Holy Decree Tiger Talisman should go down immediately, race against time, the soldiers and horses have to set off immediately, if the first line of Hejian Mansion and Zhending Mansion is lost, the first line of the Daimyo Mansion must be defended, if the battle situation cannot be stabilized on the first line of the Daimyo's Mansion, then this Bianliang City will be really dangerous.

Zeng Gongliang was very pragmatic, and he was still thinking in his heart, it would be best if the line of Hejian Mansion Zhending Mansion could be stabilized, and that would be the best result.

I really can't blame these people for not trusting Ganqi, the reality of the situation does not allow these people to think in a good direction, and they dare not think in a good direction. The Liao people have already gathered a large army, Gan Qi is just more than 20,000 people in a hurry, no matter how you think about it, now the bell of the imperial city is rushing, it can't be Gan Qi who defeated the Liao people, right? In the past, Emperor Taizong couldn't do the power of the whole country, this is a delusion that he can't even think about.

Zeng Xiaokuan personally rang the bell on the city tower at this time, which should have been done by the military man, but Zeng Xiaokuan received the emperor's order, and he was too excited in his heart, and he couldn't help but ring it desperately.

His Majesty the Emperor asked him to ring the bell quickly, and he really rang the bell quickly, but he didn't know that he was so fast that the officials in the entire Bianliang City were frightened.

The huge wooden bell hammer, pushing and pulling also requires huge strength, Zeng Xiaokuan desperately hit the bell, and his arm was weak, and his spirit was still excited, so he hurriedly went down to the city tower to wait for someone.

The government hall is the closest to the imperial city, so the first to arrive are naturally the officials of the government hall.

Zeng Xiaokuan couldn't care so much, the first one saw his father, and he ran away, running loudly, and he couldn't care about any etiquette, so he shouted: "Dad, Dad, Father......"

Zeng Gongliang saw his son running over while shouting, and he was stunned, his son returned to Beijing, he didn't know it yet, and it was only less than twenty days in total, this is a little too fast, right?

Zeng Gongliang's heart tightened, it seemed that the army was really defeated, in a short period of time, even his son had fled into Beijing, Zeng Gongliang had a bad premonition, the river was really fixed, I am afraid that the first line of the river will not be guaranteed, and more than half of the two roads in Hebei have been lost......

God bless, ancestors bless, the Daimyo's Mansion must resist.

As soon as Zeng Xiaokuan, who was in front of him, shouted at the top of his voice: "Father, a great victory, a great victory in the north, a great victory for Gan Xianggong!" ”

"What? What is it? Zeng Xiaokuan really didn't hear clearly, his mind was on the Daimyo's Mansion of Zhending Mansion and Hejian Mansion.

"Father, Gan Xianggong's great victory, has broken Yanjing City, Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji was beaten by Gan Xianggong and fled overnight, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures have been recovered, and the family and country have been unified."

Zeng Xiaokuan shouted again, and dozens of old men and officials all stopped their footsteps and looked at Zeng Xiaokuan.

"What do you say, my son?" Zeng Gongliang heard it clearly this time, but how can this kind of thing teach people to believe?

"Dad, I just rushed back from Yanjing City to see Gan Xianggong, galloping all the way, my buttocks were grinding and bleeding, just to bring back this news, Your Majesty has already known in advance, so I told the child to go to the city tower to ring the bell, the bell just now was struck by the child himself, a big victory, a big victory, a real victory. Gan Xianggong now defeated Xiao Derang in a battle on the north bank of the Juma River, and ambushed Yelu Renxian's 100,000 army in Yanfangdian, sweeping away the Yanyun Liao army, and the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji broke through the siege and fled overnight, such a great victory, I don't know how many hundred years have not heard of it, the child is excited, and he is so excited that his blood is boiling for seven or eight days...... "Zeng Xiaokuan is also hard, this words, he may have to repeat it countless times with different people in the near future."

When Zeng Gongliang heard this, his eyes opened wide, he swallowed his saliva, turned his head to look at the dozens of old men in the political hall, and then looked at his son, he didn't believe his son, but he had to digest the news.

At this time, Fu Bi, who was beside Zeng Gongliang, opened his mouth and asked, "Where did you get this news from?" ”

"Fu Xianggong, I didn't get the news from anywhere, the lower officials said just now, the lower officials rushed back from Yanjing City, Gan Xiangcheng is sending people everywhere to take over the city and Yanshan Pass, and Yan Yun is already in control." Zeng Xiaokuan repeated these words, not too troublesome at all, looking at the stunned appearance of these people in front of him, he felt very happy in his heart for no reason, as if he himself led the troops to break Yanjing City, as if he himself had gained so much glory, he was enjoying the shock of these people in front of him.

Everyone looked at each other a few times, Zeng Gongliang's son was so excited and swore an oath, I'm afraid this news is true?

If this is true, it is too ...... It's a little scary.

"It doesn't seem to be fake, it should be true?"

"Haha...... Yanyun recovered, great joy, great joy! ”

"Gan Daojian, cast the world's merits!"

"This son is a genius, a handsome general, and he is like a god in using soldiers! Wu Hou is no more than this in the world. ”

"Hurry up, enter the palace face saint, enter the palace face saint!"

Zeng Gongliang finally became excited: "Okay, good, what a big victory, leave a name in history, leave a name in history!" The long-cherished wish of the previous emperors of the past dynasties was once achieved, and Gan Daojian was that Wei Qinghuo went to illness, not inferior to Feng Wolf Juxu, and should also be Le Shi Yanran. Open the altar and pay homage to heaven and earth, to your ancestors. ”

The face of Fu Xianggong on the side was difficult to see, it was also difficult to say that Fu Bi was also difficult, just now he thought it was a defeat, he was in a bad mood and anxious. Now it's not a defeat, it's an immortal feat, and he doesn't seem to be in a good mood. But if you want to say that he is not in a good mood, he is a little excited about the great joy of recovering Yanyun that the whole country celebrates.

Fu Bi's complex emotions are really difficult to describe in words.

Zeng Gongliang, who was excited, turned his head and began to greet everyone: "Let's go, everyone go quickly, go with me to face the saint, open the altar, tell the ancestors, paste Jiewen all over Bianliang City, send Qin to go to various places to announce the world, and also get the historian to leave a text, write this matter well, and spread it through the ages." ”

With excitement, the old men jumped and jumped towards the vertical arch hall, and His Majesty the Emperor had been waiting on the high platform for a long time.

Fu Bi walked into the vertical arch hall with everyone with a complicated mood, he always wanted to say something just now, but he just couldn't say it, but he couldn't say it, and he was uncomfortable. Say a few sour words, I don't think it's out of place.

The emperor in the vertical arch hall, at this time, was like a small servant entertaining people at the door of the store, when he saw that everyone was coming, he smiled happily, and said again and again: "All the Qing family are here?" Please come in, come inside! ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Rejoice together, rejoice with the monarchs and ministers, and rejoice with the whole country!"

A group of old men came in and stopped working, and they all gathered together, all under the high platform, and they all bowed down to congratulate.

It didn't take long for the two governments and three departments, the three provinces and six ministries, the Taiwan and the two courts, and many officials gathered together.

This court hall is as lively as the commercial street at the entrance of the Fan Tower. Everyone shared their joy and excitement with each other, and the excitement of sharing the person as a Song person at this moment.

No matter what the political ecology of the court is, and no matter who did not deal with whom in the past, or who had a grudge against whom, at this moment, everyone's mood is the same, and everyone's excitement is the same.

Why do many countries, when they cannot resolve their internal contradictions, wage wars with foreign countries?

The reason is that in today's court, as long as the spearhead is unanimous with the outside, there can be no internal contradictions for the time being.

After everyone was excited for a long time, Emperor Zhao Shu said, "Everyone, be quiet. ”

His Majesty the Emperor spoke, and the court slowly quieted down.

Zhao Shu continued: "Gan Qi Gan Daojian, today he has made such an immortal achievement, he should be rewarded, and the soldiers and soldiers who participated in the war should also be rewarded, so as to inspire the morale of the army, and please give you an idea, how to reward Gan Qi is appropriate?" ”

Those who recover Yanyun can be crowned kings, but unfortunately this sentence should be said by Song Shenzong Xiaozhen, and decades later, Tong Guan remembered this sentence, and tried every means to buy back Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures from the hands of the Jin people, and Tong Guan was also crowned the king of Guangyang County.

At this time, in Zhao Shu's dynasty, no emperor said that he could be crowned king by recovering Yanyun.

How to reward Ganch, that's really a problem.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that such a great achievement, it is not a problem to seal the country, but it is not enough to just seal the country, he should be promoted a few levels, in order to show the love of the court and His Majesty, and also to set an example for later people, that is, to let all the scholars in the world know that as long as they can make meritorious contributions, the court and Your Majesty will definitely be rewarded." Zeng Gongliang was the first to come out to speak, this is really the time to make a good relationship, I thought about forming a good relationship with Gan Qi because I thought that Gan Qi was the emperor's brother-in-law, as long as I didn't do stupid things in this life, I would definitely not be able to do it, so I asked Zeng Xiaokuan to take the initiative to make friends with Gan Qi.

Today's Zeng Gongliang's good relationship is already quite realistic, and this young Mr. Gan is already about to be a big man in the court. Not to mention the court, even among the people, his reputation is afraid to surpass anyone else, and this reputation alone is incomparable to anyone.

"The minister also thinks that he should be rewarded, the title should be awarded, and the official rank should be promoted, so that he is worthy of such a meritorious service as Gan Daojian."

"The minister thinks what Zeng Xianggong said is reasonable."

I think many people know that Gan Qi is going to really rise, and many people also know that Gan Qi's rise is different from others, because Gan Qi is the emperor's brother-in-law, everyone can see that the emperor has a lot of trust in Gan Qi, and he is also a champion.

Everyone's words are exactly what Zhao Shu wants, since he met Gan Daojian, Zhao Shu has done everything smoothly, everything has been successful, this brother-in-law seems to be really given to him by God.

Zeng Gongliang immediately opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, since Yan Yun was defeated by Gan Daojian, how about sealing him a Yan Guogong?" ”

After Zeng Gongliang finished speaking, he looked at everyone left and right, probably to see if anyone had different opinions.

Obviously, at this node, no one has any opinions, such a thing as Guogong is an honorary title in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are more Yulu, and there are no substantive things such as fiefdoms. The same is true for the prince, just a name, just like Tong Guan later sealed a king of Guangyang County, Guangyang County is only a title, and the territory is not owned by Tong Guan.

Moreover, the prince and the prince, the prince and the prince, must also be divided into three, six, nine and so on. For example, there is a difference between the king of the county and the prince, Zhao Yunrang is the king of Runan County, Tong Guan is the king of Guangyang County, this is the lowest level among the princes, after Zhao Yunrang died, he was crowned King Pu, which increased the level, and the highest level is crowned with the name of the country, such as King Yan, King Zhao, King Qin, and King Chu.

The same is true for Guogong, Ju Guogong, the level is relatively low. But Yan Guogong, that's amazing, the level is over.

"Okay, then give Dao Jian a Yan Guogong." Zhao Shu waved his hand and gave his brother-in-law the title of Duke of Yan Guo, which was proper, not enough, and said: "What kind of official should Dao Jian promote?" ”

Zeng Gongliang then spoke: "The minister thinks ...... Gan Daojian is not only the champion talent, but also can use soldiers like a god, Wen Cheng Hu Fuzi and Bao Xianggong, Wu Cheng Di Qingdi General, so Yun Wen Yun Wu talent, it is difficult to produce one for thousands of years. Come to think of it, it's better to ......"

"What if?" Zhao Shu answered.

Zeng Gongliang is a little bold, since the good fate is going to be knotted, he naturally has to do a big favor, then Yan Guogong can't be a big help, with Gan Qi being so meritorious, this is as it should be. So how can you do a great favor?

At this time, Zeng Xiaokuan, who was at the entrance of the hall, also looked nervously at the father who was talking in front of him, he knew that this was what he secretly said to Zeng Gongliang before entering the hall, and it was Gan Qi who explained to him in Yanjing.

The official that Gan Qi wants must be obtained, and he will not be able to come back for a while, so he naturally has to think of a way, and this solution is on Zeng Xiaokuan and Zeng Gongliang.

Zeng Gongliang said the words: "Your Majesty, why don't you give Gan Daojian a privy envoy, the official position of privy envoy is exactly the right match for Gan Qi's talent!" ”

These words frightened the emperor, as the saying goes, being promoted to an official is a great thing to even be promoted to the third level. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the most outrageous promotion was only a promotion of eight levels in a row, and this matter was still done by Song Huizong, who promoted Wang Huang and promoted him to eight levels at one time.

If Gan Qi really becomes a privy envoy directly, this is not an eight-level promotion in a row, even if Gan Qi is now in the Privy Council, it is too far from the privy envoy, the privy envoy, Zheng'er Bajing said, the prime minister of the second grade. Gan Qi has not even risen to ten levels.

In this way, Fu Bi has survived all his life, and he is also a second grade.

Of course, the official rank of the Song Dynasty is very complicated, and it cannot be directly said so, but in reality, he is such a truth.

Zeng Gongliang directly asked Gan Qi to be the privy envoy, and the emperor was startled, and there was a buzz in the audience.

Fu Bi finally found an opportunity to say what he had been holding back uncomfortably: "What Zeng Xianggong said, no, never." I think you also know, Gan Daojian is 23 years old or 24 years old this year? How can you go beyond the tenth level? I have been in the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, how can there be such a precedent? It's not ......."
