Chapter 545: Fear of power but not virtue

"Gan Qi is not returning in the northwest, can the Privy Council send a letter to urge?" Zhao Shu asked Wen Yanbo, this Great Song Dynasty, is afraid of this kind of thing, he is afraid of this kind of thing in his bones and blood, and the person who leads the troops does not listen to the order, Zhao Shu is uncomfortable.

Wen Yanbo also looked worried: "Urged, I urged it a long time ago, and the Privy Council also received a reply from Gan Qi, saying that Li Liangzuo was recruiting young people everywhere, and he had the heart to make a comeback, and Gan Qi wanted to stay for more time to repair the cities at various passes and then return." ”

Fu Bi answered: "Gan Xiangmo is not afraid of coming back?" Isn't he afraid that His Majesty will punish him for the crime of disobeying the holy decree? ”

Wen Yanbo immediately understood, and then said: "Xu is so, his heart is empty......"

The two of them sang and harmonized, making Zhao Shu more and more worried, and said: "Send a holy decree to urge, let him go back first, and the northwest military affairs will be handed over to Lu Xu, the prefect of Yanzhou, first." ”

"Yes." Fu Bi nodded in reply.

But I heard Li Xian shouting outside the door: "Official, the king of Runan County asks to see you." ”

Zhao Zonghan came, Zhao Shu did not shy away from it, raised his hand and made a move, a moment later, Zhao Zonghan walked in, looked at the two old goods in the study, his face changed, first greeted the imperial brother, then glanced at the two of them, and asked directly: "Imperial brother, the younger brother is here to ask when Daojian will come back?" ”

Zhao Shu's face was ugly, and Wen Yanbo replied with a smile: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid that Gan Xiang won't dare to come back." ”

"What are you talking about, Dao Jian won the battle, why didn't he dare to come back? Didn't you frame him with your majesty's nonsense? "The irascible young man Zhao Zonghan, came to see the emperor for this matter, he can't control the affairs of the court, but he is not afraid of scolding people, he doesn't want to be the emperor, and he doesn't want his son to be the emperor, and now he knows Zongzheng Temple, the royal manager, he doesn't ask for anyone and is not afraid of anyone, it's so strong.

"Where is the prince, the old man is dedicated to society, if he is not willing to be weak-hearted, I am afraid that he will already appear in Bianliang City at this time." Wen Yanbo is not afraid of such a prince, the old minister of the dynasty, he is also a tough person.

"You don't want to talk nonsense here, Dao Jian is dedicated to the society, he fought in the south and the north, life and death are put aside, you can only play tricks, you are 108,000 miles worse than Dao Jian, you Wen Yanbo has been an official for decades, and you have achieved nothing, but you have been convicted a lot. People like you will only say behind your back, where are you when your family and country are in trouble? Now that Dao Jian has made great contributions, but you are framing behind your back, what is the reason? Zhao Zonghan said it all the way, and stopped here for a while.

But before he finished speaking, he said: "Are you still dedicated to the community? Aren't you afraid that the society won't be able to fall? Such a meritorious minister, but you keep looking for trouble for him, if Dao Jian is not an official, it is not very important, but the matter is said first, and then the war will be fought later, you are the privy minister, you Wen Yanbo led the troops to the battle, if you are defeated, come to see you, how about it? ”

Zhao Zonghan came up with such a scolding that even Zhao Shu was stunned, didn't this younger brother take the wrong medicine today? Zhao Shu hurriedly said: "Zong Han, don't be rude. ”

"Brother Huang, the younger brother is here to tell a few words of truth, not rude. If Dao Jian is unbearable, it's okay, be a horse master and live a life, why not? He has always liked to have fun all his life, and now that Dao Jian is useful, but he is still guarding against him everywhere, so why use him again? Wouldn't it be okay for him to drink and fill in the lyrics and be a teacher in the academy? If the royal brother really doesn't like him, he doesn't need to find some martial minister to talk about it, let the younger brother say it, and the younger brother helps the imperial brother end this matter, isn't he not an official? With Dao Jian's ability, why is it not more comfortable to make a living than being an official? "Zhao Zonghan is really angry, and he is also really desireless.

Maybe Zhao Zonghan has also held back for too long, since before Zhao Shu ascended the throne, he seemed to have thoughts about the matter between Zhao Shu and Gan Qi, and now that he has been on the throne for so long, the throne is also firmly seated, and there is no overall situation to take into account.

In this Great Song Dynasty, only Zhao Zonghan has the qualifications to break out.

Zhao Zonghan said that the three of them looked at each other face to face, and Zhao Shu's face was extremely ugly, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was a little aggrieved, and he was scolded if he had nothing to do.

Zhao Shu didn't speak, he didn't know what to say, scolding this younger brother? He is not such a domineering and ruthless person, explain the matter, I heard Zhao Zonghan's words, but I don't know how to explain, and I am even a little weak-hearted. Zhao Shu is really not a really ruthless and hard-blooded emperor, and his personality is not like this.

Zhao Shu didn't speak, but Zhao Zonghan continued: "I'll go to Dao Jian, I'll go and talk to him, just say that this court is not a place for him to stay, go home and live a good life, between the wind and snow, this life is chic and comfortable." Brother Huang rest assured, he will definitely listen to me, if he doesn't do it, he won't do it, I don't bother to go to the Zongzheng Temple, the public fact is not my ambition, I am willing to go back to the past, and Daojian wandered around the days. I'll just say that it's wrapped around me, so as not to make the royal brother embarrassed. ”

Zhao Zonghan took care of everything, patted his chest and took the matter, and then turned his head and left, turning back as he walked: "Don't worry, Brother Huang, I will definitely do this thing, so it will be above board and honest, and I have no shame in my heart." Master Horse, what kind of official should he be, he should not be an official throughout the ages, I will write to Dao Jian when I go back, and ensure that this matter will be successful. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Zonghan walked out.

The three people in the imperial study were still looking at each other.

Fu Bi pretended to cough and said, "This ...... Your Majesty, this matter ......"

Before Fu Bi finished speaking, Zhao Shu covered his mouth and nose, and coughed violently, I don't know if it was angry, or if he was really sick, and he coughed. Li Xian hurriedly came in, a handkerchief and tea.

The topic couldn't go on, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi looked at each other frequently, and they had to step forward to care about the emperor.

The emperor coughed, and also raised his hand and waved, Li Xian saw the opportunity and spoke: "The two prime ministers should go back first, if there is anything to talk about in the future, let Your Majesty rest for a while." ”

The two gave up their hands and reluctantly left.

Zhao Shu's cough finally stopped, but he sat in the study for a long time without moving, Li Xian waited beside him, asked the imperial doctor, and gave Zhao Shu a massage on his back.

Zhao Shu suddenly asked, "Li Xian, do you think I'm too worried?" ”

Li Xian looked puzzled: "Your Majesty, the slave really doesn't understand these ......"

"Then I ask you, Dao Jian...... Dao Jian ...... That's it......" Zhao Shu didn't know how to ask this.

Li Xian is very smart, so naturally he still doesn't understand, he said: "Your Majesty has been too depressed recently, and dealing with these court affairs every day, big and small, trivial, none of them is comfortable." The slave maid thought, is it to get some interesting things to relieve depression to come to the palace, Your Majesty will take a look and have fun, maybe this disease will be cured, the slave and maid also listened to what the imperial doctor said, what to say about the combination of work and rest, just combine it. ”

"Do you still know what it means to combine work and rest?" Zhao Shu smiled, this little eunuch doesn't know a few big characters, and he is extremely easy to use, sensible and clever, Zhao Shu really likes him.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid thought about it a few times, the interesting thing in this Bianliang City is nothing more than the sumo match and the war ball match, Your Majesty is difficult to get out of the palace, if the slave maid goes to the south of the city to invite some sumo wrestlers and war teams to enter the palace to compete, Your Majesty will take a look at Le Yile, combine work and rest, and Xing Xing will be really well." Li Xian said with a smile.

When Zhao Shu heard this, he sighed: "It's Gan Qi again, alas...... Gotcha, you go and do it, Dao Jian has been doing these things for many years, and I haven't seen it once, this emperor is really not good. ”

"The slave obeys, and this will be done." Li Xian went to work.

Leaving Zhao Shu to sit alone, he began to seriously think about Gan Qi's affairs, thinking alone. also said to himself: "The horse should not be an official, Xu Zonghan is reasonable, since he should not be an official, why should he do everything?" He can't finish the things in this world alone. That's it......"

I don't know what it is, but I may still think that after Zhao Zonghan has done this, it's just that.

Zhao Zonghan came to make a fuss, but in the end it was just a problem, obviously this was not the result that Zhao Zonghan wanted. However, it is not useless, at least at this time, Zhao Shu is not so defensive of Gan Qi, at least Zhao Shu is still a little embarrassed.

Zhao Shu, maybe his personality is too soft, and he is easily influenced by others, he is not a bad person, but this emperor is not good at it.

Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo chatted while walking, and slowly walked out of the imperial city, but they didn't expect that at the gate of the imperial city, the king of Runan County was waiting for them.

But when he saw Zhao Zonghan coming forward, blocking the way for the two of them, he looked left and right, didn't speak, said "phew", turned his head and left.

It's also interesting to wait for so long, just for the sake of "phew".

The two old men looked at each other again, shook their heads at each other, and Fu Bi spoke: "Alas...... That's how the ministers are, they don't want to be seen. ”

"What the rich minister said is extremely true, since ancient times, it has been difficult for direct ministers to do it, you and I have done our duty, and the king of Runan County does not understand you and my hard work. However, if this prince really gets things done, then he is happy to see it happen, and he can be regarded as doing a good thing for the country. ”

The two invited each other to get in the car and go home.

At this time, Gan Xianggong was on the plateau, with an altitude of nearly two thousand meters, all the way up rugged and slow.

It is in the northeast of the plateau, and Achaima is in its southwest, but the north of Achaima is in the place where Caotou Dadan and Huangtou Huifu meet, and in the past it was the Gansu Military Division and the Xiping Military Division of Western Xia, and it can also go directly to Shazhou (Dunhuang), which is the westernmost part of Western Xia.

The spheres of influence of several parties are somewhat intertwined, and they are also adjacent to Western Xia, and Qingtang City is Xiliang Mansion of Western Xia.

To be precise, it is not exactly an east-west attack, but also a north-south attack, anyway, both sides fight together. The Yellow River has made a big bend here, and the bend is a chatter, and the bend is Achaima.

Gan Qi went to the plateau, walked in the middle of the bend, and asked Dong Yu to meet about two hundred miles south of the first public city, which is the territory of the middle of the city, south of Qingtang City.

Dong Yu arrived first, waiting for Ganqi here, Ao Bao felt room is endless, forty or fifty thousand horses, majestic.

Ganchi came with more than 10,000 cavalry, shivering in the wind.

In the yurt room, the milk tea and milk wine had already been prepared, Gan Qi led people in, Dong Yu sat firmly in the middle and did not get up, and the scene instantly became a little embarrassing.

Wang Shao hurriedly stepped forward to introduce each other, covered up the little embarrassment, and exchanged a few words of greeting.

Dong Yu sat in the center, and Gan Qi sat on the left.

In this scene, Gan Qi didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong, but the generals behind Gan Qi looked ugly one by one, Dong Yu was the envoy of the Baoshun Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and Gan Qi was the privy minister of the Great Song Dynasty.

Dong Yu could speak Chinese, and asked with a smile: "Gan Xianggong, what do you think of my subordinates?" ”

Gan Qi gave a thumbs up: "The soldiers are strong, the soldiers are strong, and the soldiers are strong." ”

Ganqi understands that this is a demonstration, this is to scare him Ganqi, so that Ganqi can honestly fulfill his promise.

Dong Yu laughed: "Since my father has risen here, it has been decades now, and it is interesting to say, the Xixia people gave my father an official, the Song people also gave my father an official, and the Khitan people also gave my father an official, and the Hui people saw that my father was powerful, so they took the initiative to send their own girl here, and the party and Khitan people also married the princess to my house." But my father just took over the official position of your Song emperor, and my father still likes you Song people. ”

What does it mean to say this? Gan Qi pondered for a moment, or was it a demonstration? Originally, it was a matter of the emperor's grace, but in turn, it seemed that he took over Song's official and gave Song face.

Behind Gan Qi, the faces of the generals were even darker, but Gan Qi smiled and said: "Well, Ling Zun Qingyi, we Song people remember." ”

"Just remember, remember, then eat a bar." Dong Yu raised his glass, he was in a good mood, that's what it means, you have to remember to give you face, otherwise you won't give face, just remember.

Wine is to be drunk, and when you drink it, you have to talk about the war, Dong Yu has just a few people in total, and they have all been brought to meet, and when you go back, you have to go west, go north, it's not too troublesome.

Seeing this, Dong Yu returned satisfied.

Inside Ganqi's big tent, all the generals snorted one by one, and said in amazement: "This fang should be killed!" ”

"I don't feel the emperor's grace, I don't think about the grace of the Son of Heaven, I don't obey the king, I don't know how to be respectful, I still show off my might in front of us, and let Gan Xianggong sit under him, I really deserve to be killed."

The Central Plains Dynasty has this kind of thinking of the Heavenly Empire, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, Dong Yu's words, to these Song people, that is, disrespectful, disrespectful to the emperor, disrespectful to the entire Great Song Dynasty, disrespectful to the entire country. If you put it on ordinary people, if you put it on these soldiers, it will be a crime that deserves death.

The soldiers and men fight with their lives, and they fight for each other, which is the face of the country.

It is also Dong Yu who seems to be a little ignorant of great power diplomacy, that is, the Liao people of Western Xia, between countries and countries, they will not speak like this, at least on the surface, they are polite and courteous. Dong Yu was obviously much flattered by all parties, and he was a little fluttering.

"Not in a hurry." Gan Qi can bend and stretch, if Gan Qi hadn't come today, he might have to turn his face on the spot. Maybe Dong Yu asked Gan Qi to come, just to show Gan Qi that he was strong and strong.

Obviously, Dong Yu felt that it was beneficial to show his strength, firstly, to prevent Gan Qi from having any thoughts that he should not have, secondly, to show the great power of the Song people, so that the Song people would be more flattering to him, and thirdly, once the two sides went to war in the future, it would also make the Song people afraid of it.

Everyone nodded sullenly, and the seed master continued: "Tang Taizong has a saying, those who are afraid of power but not virtue, and this is true." ”

Gan Qi looked at the Seed Master Dao, and really realized that the Seed Master Dao was a reader.
