The days began to cool again, and the hot spring hotel outside Tokyo was once again overcrowded, and Zhang Shuyuan, as the big shopkeeper, was so busy that she stayed directly in the hotel.

Gan Qi also found a free time, enjoying the comfort of bathing in warm soup and beauties.

Chunxi waited for Ganqi to soak in the hot springs, serving tea and water, as well as the saved melons and fruits, and the most convenient thing to eat in winter was oranges, because oranges are durable.

Peel off a few petals and stuff them into Ganch's mouth one by one.

Gan Qi inadvertently turned his head to take a look and asked Zhang Shuyuan, who was soaking in the hot spring together: "How old is Chunxi this year?" ”

Zhang Shuyuan replied: "It's not young, it's long past the age of the Xu family. ”

Gan Qi asked this sentence, but he suddenly found that Chunxi was not small, and it was no longer the young yellow-haired girl, so he said again: "Then it's time to hurry, lest the government come to inquire when the time comes." ”

"The girl of the prime minister's family, where will the government come to inquire?" Zhang Shuyuan said this with a smile, and said: "It's better for you to ask herself, an official." ”

Gan Qi turned his head and asked, "Chunxi, do you have a crush on any of the kids?" ”

But when he saw Chunxi, he immediately lowered his head and shook it: "Slaves don't marry." ”

"How can you not get married? When the man gets married, the woman gets married, they all have to get married, and if they don't marry, the government will take care of it, and they will take you to prison when the time comes. Gan Qi actually supports this law in his heart, although the jurisdiction of this law is not very strong, but it is also just right, if you want the population to grow, you have to do it.

Today's Ganqi is more willing to see population growth, population growth means that there is enough immigration capacity, and not to mention overseas, just say that the Western Regions, even the grassland, Liaodong, some are territories, but there are no people.

This Great Song Dynasty has to work hard to give birth to three or four hundred million, which is almost the same for the time being. Liaodong is also a big granary, not a barren land. Not to mention the island of Taiwan, Hainan Island, and even the land of Luzon Java, which are all good places to produce grain.

You have to live now, you can't wait until the territory is stable and then you are born temporarily, you are born now, it is to prepare for the future, this is complementary to each other, the population rises, it forces the imperial court to open up the territory, and with the territory, it inspires the people to have more lives.

As soon as Gan Qi said this, Zhang Shuyuan was already shaking her head, and Chunxi was even more in tears: "The slave and maid are not married, the slave and maid should not leave their sister, and the slave and maid do not want to leave Ganfu." ”

"You little girl, why are you so ignorant? How can there be such a truth in the world? Ganfu is naturally your maiden home, but there is no girl who has lived in her mother's house for a lifetime, if this is to be spread, won't it make people laugh to death? "Ganchi is still so loud.

I saw Chunxi covering her face, muttering a few times, and running away.

Gan Qi was puzzled, and said: "Look at her, which sentence did I say wrong?" ”

Zhang Shuyuan sighed: "The officials are right, but they don't understand their daughter's thoughts." ”

"If she has a crush on someone, let's put it bluntly, if her identity is not worthy of feeling inferior, then I have a way, it's a big deal to accept her as a sister and let her surname be Gan, so that even Jinshi is worthy of it." Gan Qi said to himself.

Zhang Shuyuan sighed to herself, took the cloth towel, and slowly rubbed Gan Qi's back.

Gan Qi looked at Zhang Shuyuan's appearance, and suddenly seemed to react after realizing it, and asked, "This Nizi can't be a fancy to me, right?" ”

Zhang Shuyuan still sighed.

Gan Qi understood: "This ......"

Gan Qi turned his head to look into the room again, looked at the back of the little girl, and said, "It's not right, right?" ”

"If the official thinks it's inappropriate, then the slave family will go and tell her." Zhang Shuyuan replied.

"Is it okay...... I can't say, it's ...... Slow down......" Gan Qi stammered a few words, his attitude a little strange.

Zhang Shuyuan smiled, the strength of rubbing her back increased, and she said: "The official's back will always be rubbed with mud, but I don't know where it is contaminated with so much mud......

"It's not mud, it's ......"

At night, Ganchi enjoyed a pleasant day.

On the official road north of Tokyo, hundreds of military men are scattered around, patrolling the roads on horseback.

Several carriages came from the north to the south, day and night, carrying important errands to Tokyo.

As he walked, he was stopped by the soldiers, only to see a team of cavalry instantly surround the carriage, and the leader shouted: "The Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is patrolling, who is traveling in the middle of the night?" ”

One person got down from the frame and arched his hand to speak: "The villain is a rich old man's cronies, and he is a secret messenger of the imperial court. ”

"Hey, it's finally waiting for you, it's you who are looking for it, all get off, get out of the car!" The leader of the army was already smiling, they were checking day and night on this road, it had been six or seven days, and finally the main owner had come.

The man who got off the frame immediately became excited: "Slow, I have an official document from the imperial court here, you can take a look, it is really a secret errand of the imperial court, an errand of a rich minister, you can't trespass, I'm afraid you can't afford to be guilty." ”

But seeing that the soldier was already impatient, he dismounted directly, and recruited people left and right, and the soldiers stepped forward, and in several frames, more than a dozen people were pulled down.

"You soldiers are really bold, you are going to suffer sin, you ......"

"Fuck you!"

The soldier had already raised his foot and kicked the man, kicked down the man, and then stepped forward again, touched the man, and asked, "Where is the letter?" ”

"It's a lot at stake, you all have to lose your heads......"

"Shut up!" After a big slap exhale, the military man finally searched for the letter that he kept close to him.

When the soldier got the letter, he didn't open it, but walked to the frame again, and there were boxes in several frames, and the boxes fell into a big lock, which was crackling and smashing.

When I opened it, the gold was shining and the silver was shining.

"Tie everyone up, take care of things, and take them back." The leader of the army showed joy on his face, fortunately he did not disgrace his life, and the errand was completed.

When everyone arrived outside the city of Tokyo with the carriage, the city gate slowly opened as it was dark, and a troop of cavalry galloped in and went straight to the Privy Council.

In a moment, Gan Ba personally beat his horse from the Privy Council and galloped south out of the city.

Gan Xianggong was in the hot spring hotel, and before he woke up, he heard Chunxi shouting outside the door: "Xianggong, the eighth uncle is here, saying that there is an emergency." ”

Gan Qi in the gentle township reluctantly replied: "Let the dumb wait in the private room in the lobby, and I'll come in a moment." ”

Work, it's really not done by people, I was tired in the middle of the night last night, and I can't sleep more today. Gan Qi complained while getting up, and Zhang Shuyuan had to get up to dress Gan Qi.

Gan Qi yawned and came to see Gan Ba, who had already handed over the letter: "Big brother, I robbed last night, five cars, and countless gold and silver things. ”

Gan Qi took the letter, opened it and took a look, Liu Liufu of Liao State wrote it to Fu Bi, and he began to reminisce with Fu Bi, saying some stories of the two of them in the past when they were in Liao State, which was to get closer to each other.

Then he wrote that the new emperor of Liao had temporarily ascended the throne, and when he saw this, Gan Qi said: "I didn't expect it to be true, Yelu Hongji really died in the chaos, unexpectedly......"

Gan Qi's words are less surprise and more melancholy.

"Big brother, did we really kill the emperor of Liao in Datong? Damn, don't say it early, it's late, I'm afraid that the corpses will be turned into bones, such a big credit, I just missed it...... "Gan Ba only felt a pity, it was a pity, if he brought Yelu Hongji's corpse back to Tokyo at that time, what kind of power would it be?

Gan Qi didn't say anything, and then looked down, whether the Liao Emperor was dead or not, Gan Qi actually didn't care so much, just like Gan Ba said, the news came a little late, but it was also good news. But Ganchi was more concerned with what's next.

Next, Liu Liufu reminisced with Fu Bi in the letter, saying that Fu Bi used to negotiate peace in Zhongjing City, and Liu Liufu was also secretly saying that he helped Fu Bi before and after, so that the emperor and the court agreed to increase the annual currency and withdraw from the war.

Talking about this, it is obvious that there is a request for Fu Bi, first hint at the previous kindness, and then ask Fu Bi to write things. It's just that the sun and the moon alternate, ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, it was Liu Liufu's turn to let Fu Bi help Liao to sue for peace and war.

To put it bluntly, it is to let Fu Bi persuade more peace in the court, and when the letter is here, it begins to be straightforward, saying that in the past, when Fu Bi begged him Liu Liufu, he gave 100,000 yuan of money, and today he returned it tenfold, and sent 1 million yuan of property to Fu Bi. Just ask for Fubi, and the Great Song Dynasty court will not let Gan Qi easily send troops to the north.

Seeing this, Gan Qi saw some eyebrows, obviously Liu Liufu knew that Fu Bi had a holiday with Gan Qi, otherwise Liu Liufu would not have said such words so bluntly.

But the question came again, how did Liu Liufu know that Fu Bi and Gan Qi had a holiday?

The next letter really confirmed this, Liu Liufu said that he went to inquire in detail about what Fu Bi asked about the battle situation in Dading Mansion.

Then he completely talked about the process and details of the previous battle of Dadingfu, how the Ganqi army defeated the Liao reinforcements in the north of Dadingfu, how to let the people and horses of the grassland take the lead, how to use artillery to break the city wall, and how many people were killed in Dadingfu and how many things were robbed......

In the eyes of the Liao people, there were no difficulties in the whole process, and even the soldiers and horses under Gan Qi had almost no losses......

When Gan Qi saw this, he understood, Fu Bi wrote to Liu Liufu and asked about it. Why is this happening? Is this not clear that this is going to be used to attack Ganch? In the end, Liu Liufu also wrote, "Kowtow and worship, I wish the rich minister a great event, goodbye!" ”。

What's the big deal? The big thing that brought down Ganch?

This is really a coming-and-going, and there are some things that you can't think about too much.

Fu Bi sent an envoy to the Liao State and exchanged money for the Liao State to withdraw from the army. When Fu Bi returned to the Great Song Dynasty, he immediately became a hero and a figure who could withstand millions of soldiers with one word. But in the process, it is not difficult to imagine that Fu Bi himself said that he was neither humble nor arrogant, polite and courteous, and persuaded the Liao people.

How is this possible? You go and beg people, beg people not to beat you, beg people not to cut your land, and you are still coaxing in front of people?

Thou shalt not grovel? Even if you don't really grovel to beg, then at least it should be good words, good persuasion, low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, Fu Bi can't say it alone, and he has to buy Hanchen of Liao State to help him speak. How can this process be so glorious?

Now people are also begging you, the shot is a million guan, knowing that you Fubi and Ganqi have a grudge, the shot is a million guan, just asking for a few years to breathe.

Gotcha, Gan Qi folded the letter and said, "It's done!" ”

Gan Ba was also happy: "Big brother, it's finally done, it's good to be done." ”

"Without further ado, bring all the people and looted property that I took last night, and follow me into the palace to face the saint." Gan Qi was waiting for today, and he even had some expectations, not a big one.

The Liao country is now in danger, and the Great Song Dynasty has come to the autumn grain harvest, and as soon as the grain arrives, the Liao people speculate that Gan Qi will raise an army again and want to destroy the country in one fell swoop.

This speculation is normal, if the situation in the Liao and Song dynasties is reversed, the Liao people will do the same.

Therefore, the Liao people must try their best to seek peace, Fu Bi contacted the Liao people like this, how could the Liao people not have to take this road to peace? Since you are seeking peace, how can you not say good things and give benefits to Fu Bi?

However, Gan Qi didn't expect that the Liao people would give Fu Bi such a big benefit, it was really a courtesy.

Collusion with foreign countries, collaborating with the enemy is a serious crime.

It's done.

There is also one more article to frame the prime minister.

This letter Ganqi is not hidden, right and wrong, black and white, are all in people's words, the Liao people are enemies, as the loser, their perception and words of the war are not important, whether the battle is difficult or not, whether there is a shortage of food in the army, that is all up to their own people. If you ask more, it means that Gan Xianggong is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he has stabilized the overall situation.

is not hidden, and it looks even more open.

Anyway, Fu Bi is colluding with the enemy and intending to frame Zhongliang.

Gan Ba went to mention people and finances, and Gan Qi went home and changed into a purple court dress, looking serious and solemn.

Gan Qi went to the left gate first, waited for Gan Ba for a while, and waited for the guards and eunuchs to communicate.

Not long after, more than a dozen people and five carts of property followed Gan Qi straight into the vertical arch hall.

Gan Qi didn't say much, and after entering the temple, he knelt down on the ground.

This kneeling, Emperor Zhao Ji was stunned, and hurriedly came down from the high platform to help: "Gan Xiang, why is this?" ”

Gan Qi couldn't afford it, and took out the letter directly: "Your Majesty, please see!" ”

Zhao Ji opened the letter suspiciously, read it slowly, and frowned slowly......

"This ......" Zhao Ji looked at Gan Qi, then looked at the letter, and then asked: "Gan Xiang, but seriously?" ”

Gan Qi spoke: "Your Majesty, outside the door, there are all human and material evidence. More than a dozen people, all of whom have been close to the rich minister for decades, including the sons and nephews of the rich minister's family, it is impossible to send others for such a secret matter. Millions of treasures are also outside the temple. Please also ask Your Majesty to interrogate it personally! ”

What does he mean by that? What does that mean? He Fubi has such a good relationship with the Liao people? One million guan, the Liao people are so generous? What does this mean in the end? But to say that Gan Xiang is guilty of defrauding the king? Zhao Ji was a little incomprehensible, but he already believed it.

"Your Majesty, the Liao people are already trapped beasts, and the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, but they just want a few years of respite, so they are so generous to bribe the rich minister, as for the subsequent words, I think it is the Liao people who the rich minister deliberately asked, and the Liao people replied in such detail." Gan Qi directly said the guess in his heart.

"Bring them all in, and I'll ask them myself." Zhao Ji was already angry, although he was unhappy with Fu Bi, but he couldn't imagine that Fu Bi would really do that treason and collaboration with the enemy, if this was the case, Zhao Ji was afraid that he would get angry with high blood pressure.

After speaking, Zhao Ji picked up Gan Qi, turned around and sat down on the high platform.

More than a dozen Fu Bi cronies had already come in, they obviously knew where they were, and when they saw it, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed and cried: "Your Majesty, the villain doesn't know where he is guilty, the villain is a secret messenger, it was my master who sent me to Liao to inquire about the news after receiving His Majesty's orders, the villain ......"

"I ask you, did you go to Liao to see Liu Liufu?" Zhao Ji had already spoken.

"Back to Your Majesty, the villain has never leaked a trace of his whereabouts, even when he saw that Liu Liufu also quietly touched away, the letter was never leaked to anyone, and the villain has never read the letter. The villain is very cautious and does not dare to transgress half a point. Obviously, this person didn't figure out what the problem was, and only thought that he was arrested to see the emperor because of his own errand.

Zhao Ji was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Liao people, how dare you bring back this money at will?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not that the villain wants to bring it back, it's Liu Liufu who did everything possible to let the villain bring it back, the villain thought to himself, anyway, it's Liaogou's money, and bringing it back to the imperial court is also a great achievement." Liu Liufu also said that for so many years, it was our Great Song Dynasty who sent money to Liaogou, and now it is also appropriate to return some of it. The villain thought that this was also the truth, so he brought it back. The villain is very cautious, and has never been a little slack, and he also asks His Majesty to learn from it. ”

Zhao Ji nodded, sighed, and waved his hand: "Take it out, ask Sima Guang to bring the imperial history and send someone to take these people away, take them to the imperial history platform for strict investigation and interrogation, and separate Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the three halls will be tried." ”

Li Xian had already rushed out, and Gan Ba also went out with more than a dozen people.

I also heard the shout: "Your Majesty, the villain is wronged, the villain is wronged!" ”

There was already a sound of kicking and snoring outside the door.

In the main hall, Zhao Ji slowly walked down the high platform again, and said in a deep voice: "Gan Xiang...... It's not that I don't know about the so-called open and secret battles, but I never thought that because of the battles in the court, someone would really do such a thing......"

Ganchi didn't say anything.

"No wonder, no wonder the matter of food and salary before, the Rich Minister's Guild obstructed it so much, in order to fight, at the expense of the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops, at the expense of plunging the country into a crisis, how can there be such a person in this world? Where have you read the books of the sages? "Zhao Ji is emotionally unacceptable, an old minister of the three dynasties, treason and collaboration with the enemy?

"Your Majesty, maybe it's the minister's fault, you shouldn't have offended the rich minister when you were young and frivolous." Gan Qi said this, with a look of remorse.

"Alas...... What is the big picture? No matter how he fights, doesn't he know that the overall situation is important? "Zhao Ji is really going to have high blood pressure.

"Your Majesty......"

"He still wants to frame you, you look at the letter at the end, he wants to frame you to deceive the king......" Zhao Ji said again.

Gan Qi took advantage of Zhao Ji's trust and took advantage of the fame he had earned over the years. But Gan Qi didn't feel guilty at all, and only said: "Your Majesty is angry, the matter has not yet come to light, and it is still waiting for the three sessions to be tried." ”

"Yes, take a good trial and see if Fu Bi has already received money from the Liao. Ordered, Yu Shitai took Fu Bi too, and sent someone to search his mansion! Zhao Ji was already furious.

As an emperor, what could be more infuriating than this kind of thing?
