Chapter 420: The City Gate Building is Nine Zhang
Li Xian caught up with Gan Qi in front of Zuoye Gate and said, "Gan advises, Your Majesty has an invitation." ”
Gan Qi looked up at the eaves of the imperial city, towering like clouds, flying wings to the sky, so imposing.
Why was the royal palace built in such a grand way? It is not enough to build a tall building, but you have to build the earth as a platform, and then build the palace on a high platform, and even enter the door of the main hall, you have to go up many steps.
When people walk here, go up the stairs, look up at the towering palace, carved beams and painted buildings, maybe they will unconsciously have some sense of awe, right?
The tall building, showing its majesty, is also subconsciously suppressing people's hearts, so that everyone who arrives here knows that this authority cannot be challenged.
Gan Qi was a little distracted and thought a little too much.
Li Xian said again: "Gan advises, Your Majesty invites you to see you." ”
Unexpectedly, Gan Qi suddenly waved his hand: "Manager Li, if you go back and tell Your Majesty, you will say that it is not appropriate to see each other today." ”
Li Xian was stunned, he had been a eunuch for so long, and he had never seen a courtier deal with the emperor like this.
"Gan advises, Your Majesty summons, this is not good......" Li Xian is kind, afraid that Gan Qi would offend the emperor.
Gan Qi still shook his head and sighed: "I have a word for Your Majesty, and I will say that I need to endure for a few days." ”
Li Xian asked again: "Gan advised, is the slave really going to reply to Your Majesty like this?" ”
"Yes, just go and reply." Gan Qi said.
Li Xian bowed: "That Gan advises to take care of yourself." ”
Gan Qi nodded, turned his head and walked out of the left door. He glanced back at the towering city tower again, and muttered: "The city gate building is nine feet and nine!" ”
Gan Qi returned to the Imperial Court, and after a while, the people from the Yushitai came to the door, and a Qingshan official respectfully greeted Gan Qi: "Gan advises, and the next official ...... The subordinate was ordered to be in the body, but he was really offended, and he asked Gan to advise Haihan. ”
Gan Qi could see the embarrassment of this Qingshan official, and said with a smile: "The big seal and the edict are on top of the case, you go and get it yourself, you don't have to take off this official robe, right?" ”
"No, no, it is enough to have the Great Seal and the Decree, the lower official believes that Gan Advice is wronged, or in a few days, the lower official will personally send the Great Seal and the Decree back, and respectfully send it to Gan Zhiyi."
Gan Qi didn't know much about this Qingshan official, but the helplessness on his face, Gan Qi could understand it, and he also understood in his heart that this junior official was sympathizing with him.
Gan Qi asked, "Haven't you asked what the name of the imperial history is?" ”
The Qingshan official hurriedly bowed again: "It's all rude to the lower officials, the lower officials Zhang Shangying, the jinshi of the new department, has just entered the Yushitai for less than half a month." ”
"Zhang Tangying is your brother?" Gan Qi asked.
"Exactly." Zhang Shangying replied.
"Then shouldn't you do this errand?" Gan Qi was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that Han Qi knew that Zhang Tangying and Gan Qi had an excellent relationship, how could he still let Zhang Tangying's younger brother do this?
"I don't know about the advice, it's the lower officials who have to come, and the lower officials are here to tell the advice, and many people in the Yushitai believe that the advice is innocent, and the advice is assured." Zhang Shangying's thoughts are quite moving.
Gan Qi didn't say much, but said: "I'll go first, go back and talk to your brother, don't fight for anything, I have my own decision, just let it be." ”
When Zhang Shangying heard this, he bowed again: "Mr.'s style and bones, the lower officials admire him." ”
Gan Qi shook his head, he had already gone out, and as soon as he went out, he ran into Tang Jie and Sima Guang.
Before the two stepped forward, Gan Qi had already waved his hand and said: "Tang Zhizhi, Sima Zhizhi, there is no need to say more, I will return by myself, right and wrong, and I am at ease in the hearts of the people." ”
Tang Jie sighed and said, "Dao Jian, I will definitely fight for you!" ”
Sima Guang was even more angry: "How can there be such a public vendetta in this world? ”
Ganchi no longer answered, but went straight home.
At home in the city, except for a group of men, there is no one else, Gan Ba still doesn't know about today's court, and he is still laughing beside Gan Qi: "Big brother came back early today, are you going to go out of the city for a walk?" ”
"Not out of town." Ganchi stood up and paced the courtyard with a few things that made him hesitate.
"Big brother came back so early today, there must be something, big brother, you say, what are we going to do?" Gan Ba asked again.
Gan Qi glanced back at Gan Ba, and suddenly there was a grimace between his eyebrows, and he said, "I want to kill!" ”
Gan Ba immediately revealed his fierce face and asked, "Who is the eldest brother going to kill?" When? ”
Gan Qi shook his head again: "Hmph...... It's a big deal, and I need to think about it again. ”
"Big brother, you just have to tell me, and I promise to do it properly." The fierce Ganba, showing his white teeth, gritted his teeth a little in his words, like a hungry wolf.
"You help me do a few things first."
"Big brother commands."
"Listen with your ears!"
Gan Ba leaned his ear over, and only heard a few words from Gan Qi, and Gan Ba immediately looked shocked! Gan Qi wanted to meet many people, but it was not possible to meet him himself, and even more so at this time, he had to send someone to see him, and what he had to say after seeing him was too scary.
As soon as Gan Qi finished speaking, Gan Ba opened his mouth and said slowly: "This is really a big deal...... Big brother, I might die this time! If I die, big brother, you have to burn incense for me every year. ”
Ganba's brain circuitry is really different.
"If you die, you will sell all your flesh as a pig." Gan Qi said angrily.
Gan Ba puffed up his cheeks and said: "Big brother, this time I am really going to die, you must put my tablet in the ancestral hall and worship it every year." ”
"Why are you so unlucky, fuck off." Ganchi was a little angry.
"Well, anyway, if I die, if you don't pay attention to righteousness, big brother, I won't recognize you as a big brother in the next life, hum!" Gan Ba left in a huff.
There was also a muttering phrase in Ganch's mouth: "No one will die!" ”
Back in the study, Gan Qi grinded his own ink and wrote an article: "The Emperor's Edict, the Son of Heaven Ascends the Throne, the Sun and the Moon are in the Sky"
The content of the article is in the sentence "the sun and the moon are in the sky", the sun and the moon are in the sky, it is the word "Cao", this word is the name Wu Zetian chose for himself, Wu Cao, Wu Zetian compared himself to "the sun and the moon in the sky".
Gan Qi compared Empress Dowager Cao to Wu Zetian.
As soon as this article came out, Gan Qi was exempted from the charge of arguing about the palace.
This is a great sin!
But Ganchi didn't seem to care a little anymore.
When Gan Qi asked Zhou Tong to take out this article and print it, Zhou Tong took the article and went out, but he turned back after a while, because he had just read this article and was so frightened that the first sentence he turned back was: "Big brother, is this article really printed?" ”
Gan Qi nodded: "Just go and print, and after printing, it will be shipped into the city for sale." ”
"This ...... Eldest brother! ”
"Just go!"
"Okay!"
Zhou Tong left worriedly.
In Ganch's study, there was a sword hanging and a set of heavy iron armor on a wooden shelf.
There was no one in the house, so Gan Qi personally went to the kitchen to get a linen cloth and vegetable oil. He dipped his sackcloth in vegetable oil and slowly maintained his sword and iron armor.
In the leather pouch of his waist, there was also a musket.
The palace is towering into the sky, and even if Ganchi looks up from his home, he can see it.
It's a pity that Ganchi doesn't have much reverence for the oppressive architecture.
Early the next morning, Ganchi got up early and went out, not knowing where he went.
Han Qi was still eating breakfast at home, and he walked in quickly, his face was very happy, he held the newspaper in his hand, and said excitedly: "Xianggong, good news, good news!" ”
"What's the good news?" Han Qi put down the spoon and asked.
"Xianggong, please see, today's newspaper, Gan Daojian's signed article!"
Han Qi took the newspaper, read it for a moment, and laughed: "The sun and the moon are in the sky, it's a good day and the moon in the sky, I don't know what the Queen Mother will think when she sees these words, haha......"
"Xianggong, is this a no-brainer? Yesterday, there were still a few people arguing there in the Imperial Observatory, and today the incriminating evidence was sent to the door. ”
"Yesterday, the old man was still thinking about whether to get a three-division interrogation, and add Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to investigate Ganqi's matter, but today he himself sent it to the door. Ha ha...... You can't live if you do your own evil! ”
"Xianggong, do you want to immediately send the Imperial City Division to the street to confiscate these rebellious newspapers? lest there be a real discussion at the time! ”
"Hmph, it's good to talk about it, if there is no discussion, how can the Queen Mother feel the pressure? How can it be shown that the old man is important? ”
Han Qi is worthy of being a master in officialdom for so many years, he wants to make the Queen Mother feel anxious and worried, so that the Queen Mother will rely on him Han Qi more and more to consolidate her position.
"It's still a good man, and his subordinates are still afraid of people's nonsense, so when I think about it, a few grass people say some gossip, but I don't have to care."
"Go ahead, the old man will bring the newspaper into the palace, and as soon as the holy decree comes out, he will immediately take Ganqi to prison for interrogation."
Han Qi didn't eat breakfast, took the newspaper directly, got up and straightened up, and went out.
When Empress Dowager Cao saw the contents of the newspaper, she was so angry that she swept the breakfast dishes on the table all over the ground, and said: "How can this be reasonable, this palace is so desperate for the sake of the great Song Dynasty, but there is still such a frame behind the villain, this thief should be damned, he should be cut with a thousand knives!" ”
Han Qi immediately said: "I also asked the Queen Mother to issue a holy decree, and the old minister took the holy decree and immediately sent someone to arrest this thief." ”
"Please also ask Han Xiang to write it himself!" Empress Dowager Cao couldn't wait for any Zhongshu to draft the review, so she directly asked Han Qi to write the holy decree.
"The old minister is going to ask for the holy decree." Han Qi didn't wait long, and immediately turned around to get the blank holy decree.
In the market, in the teahouse, there is Ganqi's article, and there are naturally countless people talking about it.
Someone said: "The courtiers talk about the affairs of the palace like this, but they don't know whether it is appropriate or not." ”
Some people also fought back: "How can you not raise the bones of death?" The harem is so involved in politics, there will inevitably be big things in the future, throughout the ages, as long as a woman walks to the temple, there will be chaos. I see that the sun and the moon are in the sky, and I am not bad. The edict of the former emperor said it clearly, but now the new emperor can't even see the great treasures, what is the reason? ”
"Alas...... After all, the new emperor was not born to the first emperor, and it is normal to be somewhat mustard. ”
"Nonsense, the new emperor is a royal nobleman, the destiny of heaven, and it is not a usurpation, not to mention that the new emperor has always had a good reputation, and the former emperor is very satisfied with it, why let a woman do this extra thing?"
"I admire Mr. Gan, this is the only one who dares to speak so bluntly."
"Yes, Mr. Gan is like this, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty should study hard."
"What sun and moon are in the sky, it is obviously chaos!"
"Emperor Dabao, how can he be in charge of the women's family?"
"The truth is this, but Mr. Gan said it so bluntly, I'm afraid I'm going to end up in prison again."
"What does Han Sang-gong do? Why don't you see Han Xianggong say something fair? ”
"Come on, Han Xianggong wishes that Mr. Gan would die early! Don't you know that as long as Mr. Gan is above the court, he will definitely impeach Han Xianggong, where will Han Xianggong say anything fair for Mr. Gan? ”
"So, Mr. Gan is in danger?"
"Alas, Mr. Gan is in danger."
"Whoever dares to touch Mr. Gan, I will fight with him."
"Don't talk nonsense here, in this situation, do you still think it's the original? Your Majesty Renzong, what kind of holiness is that? It's different now. ”
"What's the difference? How can the major affairs of the court be decided by the woman's family? ”
"Hmph...... You don't know yet, do you? Yesterday, Mr. Gan was dismissed yesterday, and now Mr. Gan is idle at home, so he will write such an article, otherwise Mr. Gan will definitely fight for it in the court at this time! ”
"What? Mr. Gan was dismissed? ”
"It was dismissed by Han Xianggong."
"Oh no, no...... I have just received news from my father at home that there is a decree in the palace to arrest Mr. Gan and put him in prison for trial! ”
"What?"
"Let's go, hurry up and go to Mr. Gan's house, it's really a big deal, this time we must try to keep Mr. Gan safe, otherwise where in this world will anyone dare to tell the truth?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Everyone was indignant, and probably Gan Qi privately sent someone to add fuel to the fire.
In a few moments, the hundred and ten scholars rushed to Ganqi's house first, but they were still too late.
When the students arrived at Deganchi's house, they saw many ironclad soldiers coming out of Ganchi's house.
Apparently no one was caught.
Ganchi was gone.
The soldiers rushed to the old mansion outside Ganchi City, and many students followed.
In the old mansion, there are still Ganqi's small families, but these soldiers are standing at the door of Ganqi's old mansion, and they can't get in half a step, and the front and back doors of Ganqi's house are all blocked by the soldiers.
There is also a steady stream of scholars who have driven down from Daojian Academy, and there is an endless stream of scholars from the city.
"I want to take Mr. Gan, unless I step over our corpses."
In fact, the one who came to arrest Gan Qi was Li Ming, the escort of the Imperial City Division, who stood on the spot and didn't speak, just standing. When the order arrived at the Imperial City Division, Li Ming seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and personally led people out to arrest Gan Qi.
Over there, Han Qi also received the news not long after, and said angrily: "Come here, order the Imperial City Division, but if there are those who obstruct it, arrest them together." ”
The order came to Li Ming, and it didn't take long for someone to reply to Han Qi: "Xianggong, Li Zhiban said...... There were tens of thousands of students at the scene, and they were so surrounded that they really didn't know where to start. ”
"How can this be reasonable, transfer the army of the Imperial City Division to suppress it in the past, arrest a key criminal, and anyone dare to rebel?"
The order came to Li Ming again, and Li Ming looked at the students at the scene and shook his head. There are not tens of thousands, but at most 3,000.
But Li Ming's reply came to Han Qi again: "Xianggong, Li Zhiban said that there are more and more people, more than twenty or thirty thousand, and many villagers have also gathered together. I'm afraid I can't hold it down. ”
"Mobilize people, mobilize the forbidden army outside the city."
"Xianggong, Li Zhiban also came up with an idea, saying that he should temporarily close the team, and when the scholars and the people dispersed, he would play back the horse pistol and catch him off guard. Li Zhiban also said that they are all scholars and literati, and they are afraid that if they are pressed again, they will ...... when the time comes."
Han Qi, who was furious, thought about it for a while: "This method is feasible, let Li Ming send people to keep an eye on the periphery, withdraw the people first, and when the crowd disperses, immediately rush in to get people." ”
