Gan Qi returned to Beijing, the work of destroying the country, the atmosphere in Bianjing City has reached its peak, and now the party has been extinguished, and the Yumen Pass in the Tang Dynasty poems has become the land of the Central Plains again.

Look at where the ancients said that "the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass", and also look at what the scene is "no reason for the West Out of Yangguan".

In particular, the disciples of Ganmen have special respect for Gan Xianggong's "reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles", and some people have really begun to organize trips to Yumen Pass.

This is a joy for Gan Qi, cultural cohesion comes from history, to go to Yumen Pass, is to find history, and then by those who read to turn these histories into words, this is the inheritance of a nation.

Even Gan Qi also signaled the charitable foundation to fund the cost of these scholars' travels, which was also a tentative beginning for Gan Qi, and also gave rise to some other ideas here.

In the future, charitable foundations should continue to fund activities similar to long-distance travel, especially adventurous travel, or directly said to be exploration, and going to sea is particularly important.

This move is very significant, rich people are not willing to take risks, and those who are willing to take risks have no money, so Gan Qi has to provide financial support to these people who are willing to take risks. It's like in history, Columbus wanted to go to sea and find all the major European royalty, and in the end, Queen Elisabeth I of Spain financed him, and he was able to complete the journey.

Therefore, the benefits of charitable foundations funding such activities are needless to say.

A celebration banquet was held in the palace, and Li Xian was in charge of the banquet, and it was not the first time that Li Xian was responsible for holding a celebration banquet.

I also thought that this time I had to come up with something new no matter what, and another point was that Li Xian had something to ask Gan Qi.

At this banquet, Li Xian was fond of Gan Qi, invited all the oirans from the major famous buildings in Bianliang City, and also wrote and acted in various dramas, the main plot is nothing more than how Gan Xianggong strategized to win a thousand miles.

At the time of the feast, in the capital, all the officials who could reach some grades did not fall, and the cost was not small, but fortunately, the royal treasury was not poor now.

Li Bingchang, the old emperor of Western Xia, was also invited, or now his name is Zhao Bingchang, and then there is naturally Liang Xinchu.

Zhao Bingchang is now named Changle Gong, and Liang Xinchu is named Mrs. Guiyi, which is all rewarded by the emperor himself, it sounds like that, and it is a house, money, slaves, etc., and the treatment is not to be said.

The protagonist of the banquet is naturally Gan Qi, who is wearing a purple python robe and a purple and gold crown, with the majesty of his Henan county king.

In the main hall, Gan Xianggong walked into the tiger step, sat in the first place on the left hand, today's emperor Shengen, with Gan Qi there are many generals, although sitting in a farther place, but this is also the emperor's grace, the emperor values them more and more.

Sitting opposite Gan Qi turned out to be Zhao Bingchang, the Duke of Changle, and Liang Xinchu, the wife of Guiyi, which Gan Qi did not expect, the emperor really treated these two very well, maybe this is not necessarily the emperor's meaning, but the meaning of some officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Da Song still talks about those benevolences and righteousness.

After a few greetings, the emperor spoke a few more words, and then Zeng Gongliang made another congratulatory speech, Gan Qi spoke a few words briefly, and before the banquet began, the emperor also took everyone to respect the ancestors of heaven and earth.

The entertainment activities officially began, Gan Qi toasted the emperor, and toasted the old-timers such as Zeng Gongliang and Ouyang Xiu, and then people from all over the world came to celebrate with Gan Qi.

Singing and dancing music, Oiran characters, opera selections, scene by scene.

But it was Liang Xinchu on the other side, his eyes were always on Gan Qi, sometimes flattering, sometimes sad and sad.

It's just that Gan Qi didn't seem to feel it, and when he was halfway through, Gan Qi was slightly drunk, and suddenly said on a whim: "Chang Legong." ”

Eight or nine-year-old Chang Legong didn't seem to notice that someone was calling him, and he was still staring at the girls in the audience dancing.

Gan Qi said again: "Chang Legong." ”

Liang Xinchu hurriedly stabbed his son and whispered a few words, and the Chang Le Gong hurriedly got up and bowed: "I have seen the prince, and the lower official is rude." ”

Gan Qi waved his hand: "No need to be polite. I just want to ask you, what do you think of this Bianliang City? ”

Gan Qi has a bad taste, which is nothing more than the story of "happy here, not thinking about it". This bad taste is actually beneficial, and there will be another story tonight to spread the world, and Gan Xianggong will naturally become the protagonist of this story again.

Zhao Bingchang also cooperated, he was also young, and said with a smile: "Back to the words of the prince, Bianliang is good, far better than Guazhou, and Xingqing Mansion is not as good as Bianliang, Bianliang is the best place in the world." ”

"Then you can live in Bianliang, there are still many new things here, you should have more knowledge, you should study more, and learn more about the way of sages." Gan Qi commanded.

Zhao Bingchang bowed again: "Thank you for teaching." ”

In the past, when others called Gan Qi, they didn't use the title of prince, but used Xianggong more. This is probably the difference between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty readers, it seems that Xianggong is more "advanced" than the prince. But in the hearts of the Xixia people, the king is naturally much more powerful than the official.

This scene naturally caused many people to laugh, this laughter came from the glory of being a Song person, and even the emperor was laughing.

Zhao Bingchang was still too young to understand the reason, Liang Xinchu naturally understood, she got up and bowed, and spoke: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the slave family has a reluctant request." ”

Zhao Ji was in a good mood, and raised his hand and waved: "That's it." ”

"Your Majesty, Gan Xianggong is a famous Confucian in the world, and Gan Xianggong taught the dog to read more sages, if you let the dog worship under the door of Gan Xianggong and listen to the teachings, and be a useful person to the Great Song Dynasty in the future, please ask Your Majesty to agree." Liang Xinchu is really not easy to get along with, and in order to get in touch with Gan Qi, he can be regarded as racking his brains.

The emperor was naturally overjoyed, and waved his hand: "Yes." ”

For the emperor, this son of heaven who died is actually a threat, and he is afraid that he wants to restore the country or something, or want revenge and hatred. Let Gan Qi take the teaching, the emperor trusts Gan Qi very much, and feels that Gan Qi must be able to brainwash him, and he can also monitor him.

If the son of heaven in this party is all devoted to Song, the people of the party will inevitably no longer be in danger of recurrence.

This is bitter Gan Qi, and Gan Qi also has an excuse: "Your Majesty, this matter is not appropriate, Chang Le can worship under the minister's door, but he can't directly worship the minister as a teacher, but he can worship Wu Chengwu too much, so it is appropriate." ”

Zhao Ji thought about it in his heart and felt that this was also the case, because Zhao Ji himself was Gan Qi's disciple, if he let the Dang Xiang Tianzi also worship Gan Qi, wouldn't the two become brothers? Zhao Ji replied: "It's still thoughtful, where is Wu Qing, please come closer, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and then this apprenticeship etiquette will be done." ”

Liang Xinchu had no choice but to watch his son worship a simple and naïve Confucian as a teacher.

As the banquet drew to a close, and the emperor had drunk too much, he left to repair the temple first, and Gan Qi also left the main hall, and went outside the main hall to meet with many low-ranking officials who had not been able to enter the palace, and then prepared to go home and sleep.

At this time, Li Xian came up and bowed to him.

After a few words of greeting, Gan Qi asked Li Xian: "Does Neiguan Li have something to say?" ”

Li Xian was quite embarrassed to reply: "Xianggong, the slave maid wants to get out of this deep palace and go out to make meritorious contributions, and please be willing to do it." ”

Watching Li Xian bow down, Gan Qi suddenly remembered that he had promised Li Xian in the past, saying that he would give Li Xian the opportunity to make contributions in the future, which was already several years ago, if Li Xian hadn't stepped forward to say it, Gan Qi would have almost forgotten.

Since there was such a promise in the past, Gan Qi didn't say anything today, thought about it, and said: "In the past, I wanted you to go to a few battles, but now there are no big battles, which is a pity. ”

Li Xian was a little disappointed when he heard this, if it weren't for Gan Qi who had changed too many things, Li Xian in history would probably really have to go to the northwest to lead the army and supervise the army at this time.

However, Gan Qi said: "There are a lot of things to do, I have a big thing, it depends on whether you are willing to do it, do it well, leave a name in history, and it will be remembered through the ages." ”

Li Xian didn't ask what was going on, and nodded again and again: "The slave and maid are willing to do it, but please tell me, the slave and maid will definitely be confused." ”

It can also be seen that Li Xian really doesn't want to work in the palace anymore, and he really wants to make some fame by himself. From Renzong to Yingzong, and now to Zhao Ji, Li Xian is not very old, but he is already an old eunuch of the Three Dynasties.

Gan Qi actually remembered Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures of the Ming Dynasty, so he said: "Go to sea, Xuanwei on behalf of the sky, all the way to the west, preach my Great Song Tianwei, I have ships, I also have sailors, but the wind and waves at sea are dangerous, and there are many thieves, and the danger is not small, do you want to go?" ”

Li Xian didn't think about it, and replied directly: "The slave and maid are willing, the slave and maid are willing to go, as long as they can make meritorious contributions, the slave and maid are also willing to go." ”

Gan Qi was also happy, and said: "This time I went to the West, Xuanwei is one of them, and there is a more important thing, you contact and select some people yourself, especially those who are good at the art of pulling stars and cartography." When you go here, you must have a detailed chart when you come back, and you must record and bring back clearly where you go, who you are, what you do, and what country. ”

Li Xian was suddenly a little excited, he knew that this was really a big deal, and hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, Xianggong will definitely live up to his mission." ”

"I will also give you the right to bring troops and horses, and I will give you a lieutenant general, and the right to decide on the sea with you, and the right to go to war with any man or any country." Gan Qi really has a big plan, the previous grand strategy has been almost implemented, the party has been destroyed, the Liao State is still breathing, the fleet under his command has long been there, and it is time to go to the ocean to see.

Li Xian was even more excited when he heard this, bowed down and bowed, and said: "The slave and maid will open up the territory for the court and proclaim my supreme power of the Great Song Dynasty among all the nations!" ”

Li Xian thought a little too much, but Gan Qi didn't want him to go to the sea to expand his territory, but since Li Xian said so, Gan Qi also felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Well, that's all for this matter first, and after a few days of court meeting, I will discuss it with His Majesty and make the trip early." Gan Qi said.

Li Xian knew that Gan Qi was leaving, so he hurriedly said, "Gan Xiang will introduce you later." ”

Gan Qi turned his head to look, Li Xianzheng raised his hand to beckon, and a eunuch rushed not far away.

The little eunuch approached and knelt directly on the ground: "Slave Yang Jian, meet Gan Xianggong." ”

Yang Jian? Gan Qi frowned slightly, yes, this little eunuch has the same name as Erlang God, but he is a traitor in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and he is a eunuch who has no bottom line.

Gan Qi looked at Li Xian, and Li Xian hurriedly said: "Xianggong, when the slave is not in the palace, if Xianggong has something, you can find him to serve in the future." ”

Gan Qi nodded, but he didn't care, but remembered another person, who was also a eunuch, named Tong Guan, Tong Guan was how much available, but this Yang Jian was a guy who had more than enough success.

However, at this time, Tong Guan has not yet entered the palace, and it will take three or four years to live, just for the time being.

"Well, I know, Yang Jian, do a good job." As soon as Ganchi said this, he went out of the city on his own.

Li Xian taught Yang Jian on the spot again, and gave countless advices.

To say that in this imperial city, the front of the palace and those cabinet envoys, the Chongban in the palace, and the like, now several brothers of the Di family are on errands, which can be regarded as having a bad relationship with Ganqi.

In the Imperial City Division outside the Imperial City, the Privy Council issued a document again, Li Ming was promoted to the Imperial City Division for meritorious service, and returned to the Imperial City Division to do official business, from the fourth rank of General Xuanwei, although he is not the only one in the Imperial City Division who is engaged in official business (because the Imperial City Division will not have only one chief official, this is also for the sake of royal security), but Li Ming is the highest-ranking official in the Imperial City Division.

Because of the highest grade, meritorious service in battle, and a cronie, Li Ming is in the Imperial City Division, and he is faintly in power.

As for the inner servant, there was originally a great eunuch Li Xian, but now that Li Xian wants to go out of the palace on an errand, he naturally needs a person who can stand up.

For the time being, Yang Jian is Yang Jian, but Gan Qi still likes Tong Guan, although Tong Guan is also a traitor and greedy for money. But Tong Guan is not a little bold, this guy dares to openly disobey the holy decree of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong in the Northwest Army, but he is also a talent.

Speaking of which, it is said that Gan Qi Gan Xianggong is not a naïve and naïve person, he is playing several big chess games inside and outside, whether it is for the power in his hands, or for the sake of precautions, there is no place that Gan Qi does not value.

Gan Qi thought more, Zhao Ji already had a son, the eldest son Zhao Tong was already two or three years old, but he died a few months after he was born, and then he gave birth to a second son, and he died again. It's also strange, the son of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was born and died, and Gan Qi also wondered.

Gan Qi still vaguely knew more, although he didn't know it very clearly, but he knew that Zhao Ji's son didn't die two, but a lot.

Specifically, Zhao Xu's first five sons died early in a row, and then the sixth was Song Zhezong Zhao Xu, who was a short-lived ghost, and then the seventh, eighth, and tenth sons died early in a row. The eleventh son is Zhao Ji of Song Huizong.

This kind of thing is really difficult to explain, Renzong was born and died one by one, Yingzong was short-lived, Shenzong was also short-lived, and a large number of sons died, and Zhezong was short-lived.

This Great Song Dynasty is the feng shui of the imperial palace is not good? Or is the palace fight too fierce?

Gan Qi is more likely to be the first one, maybe there is such a thing as feng shui, or some people say that the building materials of the palace are poisonous. Otherwise, there can't be such a coincidence.

Thinking of this, Gan Qi, who had just left the palace, subconsciously glanced back at the Great Song Imperial City and shuddered.

Turning back to the city, Gan Qi sighed again, and had a word in his heart: There is a long way to go!
