Chapter 224: The court of Han Daxiang
When the newspaper came, Han Qi was the first to go forward to pick it up, and there was only one copy of this newspaper, and there was no more in the palace.
Han Qi looked at it casually, flipped through it for a while, and then handed the newspaper to Fu Bi, but heard Han Qi say: "Your Majesty, these students are just messing around, even if the imperial court wants to use soldiers, it will not be the turn of these students to go into battle to kill the enemy, it's really nonsense." β
Han Qi was very keen, so keen that he had already seen that Emperor Zhao Zhen had a little bit of intention to send troops to suppress thieves, but he secretly thought to himself, who is Zhao Zhen? is like a kind elder in the family, how can such an elder let those young people in the family who are studying go into battle to kill the enemy?
Sure enough, Zhao Zhen's face sank when he heard this, his hand rubbed a few times on the desk, and said: "Han Qing is right, Gan Qi is young, but his insight is extraordinary, Huotong barbarians, he is really a big trouble in the south, he has repeatedly returned and rebelled, and there are more than 40 counties in the south, if they are all like this, how can there still be a peaceful day?" A few years ago, Di Qing was sent to fight, although he made meritorious contributions, but he still did not cure the root, and then use the army, he should treat the root, and he must set an example. But Gan Qi is still young after all, a student who wants to carry a knife to fight and kill, and he is quite unprofessional. β
The so-called county of Jianzhou is actually an autonomous county and an autonomous township of the autonomous region, the big one is the state, the small one is the county, and the smallest is the county. Huotong is such an administrative region, but don't underestimate it, it is the real place where the same people live, a mountain, a few thousand people, tens of thousands of people, are all in the mountains and forests, and there are thousands of men gathered, that is, thousands of people and horses.
There have been a state of detention since ancient times, such as the Tang Dynasty's state of bondage, mostly in the northwest, Turkic, Hui, Tuyuhun and the like, and there is also a party, that is, today's Western Xia, the party was originally driven to dogs and horses under the command of the Tang Dynasty, and now to the Song Dynasty, it has become the country of Western Xia.
In the Song Dynasty, most of them were in the southwest, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei and other places, in fact, they were ethnic minorities in the southwest.
However, the Tang Dynasty's treatment of the state was very different from that of the Song Dynasty, and it was also because the Tang Dynasty's fetters were different from the Song Dynasty.
Most of the nationalities in the Song Dynasty were people who kept their duties, and the mountains and forests became their own world, self-sufficient, and self-satisfied. But there are exceptions, such as Huotongman, which means that in such a branch of the autonomous township called "Huo", tens of thousands of people, are always restless.
Zhao Zhen obviously supports the policy of sending troops, and the reason for his support is also very simple, Di Qing easily defeated them a few years ago, and Di Qing is still there a few years later, and he will easily defeat them again. In the latest issue of the newspaper, Gan Qi talked in detail about Di Qing's last battle against Pingnong Zhigao, highlighting Di Qing's power as a thief, and also implying that Di Qing was able to capture Huo Dongman, and focused on treating the symptoms and curing the root cause, killing chickens and monkeys.
In fact, the one who can really persuade Renzong to send troops is still a living Di Qing, which is the real reliance of Gan Qi's confidence that he can influence Emperor Zhao Zhen. On the issue of war, Di Qing was deeply trusted by Emperor Zhao Zhen. As long as Di Qing was alive and talked about the war, Pingbai gave Zhao Zhen a lot of confidence. What's more, it's just a small trouble for Huo Dongman?
Han Qi actually understood what Zhao Zhen meant, and when he heard Zhao Zhen say that Gan Qi was not doing his job, he hurriedly agreed: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that young scholars should focus on their studies, and they really don't know the hardships of the battle and are quite naΓ―ve. β
This sentence naturally also hit Zhao Zhen's thoughts, and Zhao Zhen nodded again and again, and he was also ready to make an order, let Gan Qi and other students study hard, and don't do anything to kill the enemy.
But Bao Zheng suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that there is nothing wrong with Gan Daojian's move. β
Zhao Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and laughed: "What is Bao Qing's opinion, let's hear it?" β
"Your Majesty, the old minister read the newspaper, and the article "Scholars Should Live and Die for the Country" written by Gan Daojian really makes some sense, why can the people of the Tang Dynasty go out of the jam for thousands of miles, and when they reach my Song Dynasty, they can't even take a look at the battle array? If I am a soldier of the Great Song Dynasty, everyone dares to go into battle to kill the enemy, and everyone is good at dispatching troops, wouldn't it be a good thing? Nowadays, there is no shortage of literati who are good at reading, but there is a lack of literati who can lead the troops to fight. "It seems that Gan Qi has met Bao Zheng in the past few days, so Bao Zheng will speak in front of the emperor at this time.
Emperor Zhao Zhen smiled when he heard this: "Bao Qing, you have high expectations for this disciple!" β
Bao Zheng was not weak-hearted, and replied bluntly: "Your Majesty, this son will be a pillar of the imperial court in the future, if the imperial court sends troops to the south, if he wants to go, why not let him go?" β
Han Qi was a little unhappy when he heard this, and said, "Bao to be made, but your disciple is so different. β
I didn't think that Bao Zheng replied directly: "This disciple of Xiaguan is so different. β
Bao Zheng said such a straightforward sentence, which stunned Han Qi, and said: "I have seen a lot of things recommended by the emperor, but I have never seen such a straightforward thing as Bao Beizhi, but it is also interesting......
Han Qi's words, in fact, mean that Bao Zheng is too shameless.
But Emperor Zhao Zhen suddenly laughed again: "Gan Daojian, Gan Daojian, haha...... Anyway, he has no official body, no errands, and he can go wherever he wants. There are really not many ministers like Han Qing who are both civil and military, and I hope that Gan Daojian can be like Han Qing in the future, and he can lead the army and govern the country. β
What kind of person was Han Qi in the Great Song Dynasty? A figure who is both civil and military, he used to lead troops in the northwest and fight, and today he is a minister in the court. The officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty is so strange, Han Qi's battle in Haoshuichuan buried the good situation of the entire northwest military and civilians working hard, and they were degraded and degraded, but they were mixed up again. has become a good minister of both civil and military.
Han Qi was praised by the emperor, where could he be unhappy in his heart, but he turned his head to look at Bao Zheng again, how did this bad old man look a little unpleasant, and that Gan Qi, at a young age, he became a character, and was compared by the emperor with him Han Qi and Han Dagong, how to listen to it is a little uncomfortable.
Who is he Han Dagong? For more than 30 years, he has been a troll, rescued a catastrophe, led the troops to fight a tough battle with the Western Xia, served as a privy envoy, and now he is above 10,000 people under one person. Fan Wenzhenggong Fan Zhongyan, who is praised by everyone, although he is twenty years older, he was only on an equal footing with him in the past. Now the young scholar who is thirty years younger than him has been compared to him Han Dagong.
Gan Qi can be regarded as Jane in the emperor's heart, and in the heart of the old emperor Zhao Zhen, he can also be regarded as the number one person. However, the matter of Taixue Gan Qi was only a small episode in this court, so he heard Zhao Zhen ask: "If you want to send troops to Yongzhou, can you choose the person who will lead the troops?" β
Han Qi looked up, and was the first to come out and answer: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the person who leads the troops is none other than Di Qing. Di Qing had suppressed Nong Zhigao a few years ago, and returned with a big victory, and he knew everything about Huo Dong's barbarians, and if he was sent to fight, he would definitely win. β
It seems that Zhao Zonghan and Gan Qi said that Han Qi mentioned Di Qing's matter in the court, which is true.
Zhao Zhen nodded: "Well, Han Qing has won my heart, and he is also the candidate in my heart." It's just that now that Di Qing has resigned and retired, I don't know if he is willing to lead the army again? β
Han Qi hurriedly said, "If Your Majesty opens your mouth to recruit, how can Di Qing still refuse?" He was originally born in the army, so he naturally wants to serve the country, and the last time Huotong was in chaos, he was the one who went, how could he not go this time? β
In Han Qi's heart, he really didn't take Di Qing seriously, he just regarded him as a tool that came and went as soon as he was called. But it's normal, the soldier was in the Great Song Dynasty, what is not a tool? Can it be a person who uses tools?
Who made Di Qing not sing outside the Donghua Gate? Who made Di Qing tattoo on his face? Who told Di to sin when he was young? Who made Di Qing not a good man?
Zhao Zhen nodded: "Well, Di Qing has always been loyal, and he will not shirk if he wants to." I don't know what kind of official position I should give him this time. β
Han Qi thought for a moment and said, "Yongzhou pacification envoy, what does Your Majesty think?" β
"Yongzhou pacification envoy? The last time he was sent to fight, he was the envoy of the southern court of Xuanhui and the north and south of Xuanfu Jinghu, and this time he was an envoy of Yongzhou pacification, which is afraid that it will be ...... It's not right. Zhao Zhen groaned, the last time he sent Di Qing south to quell the rebellion, the north and south roads of Jinghu were under Di Qing's temporary jurisdiction, which was convenient for him to transfer troops and generals, and also convenient for him to raise materials, and it was also convenient for him to command the yamen of various state capitals to cooperate.
This time, Han Qi only let Di Qing temporarily govern Yongzhou, which shows Han Qi's attitude towards Di Qing.
"Your Majesty, this Nong Zongdan is not as good as the last Nong Zhigao, Nong Zhigao had already broken Yongzhou at that time, established himself as a country, and even became a puppet emperor, extremely powerful, so he naturally needs to focus on dealing with it. Now Nong Zongdan, just a thief, just wait for the imperial army to arrive, and he will be able to win a big victory in a moment, where is the need to be so prosperous? Han Qi replied.
Zhao Zhenhuan looked left and right, and no one said anything more, after thinking about it, he also felt that what Han Qi said was not completely unreasonable, Zhao Zhen has always loved the people like a son, and when he went out of the palace to inspect, he didn't even drink tea from the people, because he was afraid of increasing the burden on the people. If the imperial court wants to fight, it can increase the burden of the people less, and that is very good.
In the end, Zhao Zhen nodded: "Well, then it will be decided according to Han Qing's arrangement." β
Han Qi bowed: "The minister must live up to His Majesty's expectations, the minister will go to see Di Qing first, and then arrange the dispatch in the Privy Council. β
Han Qi and Han Daxiang, the means are really extraordinary! He is worthy of being a good minister who is both civil and military!
