Gan Xianggong had a leisurely life, was in a comfortable mood, and ushered in Sima Guang in the imperial history of the dynasty.

Sima Guang came again, his face was expressionless, and asked him to do the things that were condescending, he couldn't do it, and there was no tea after he sat down, so he also said bluntly: "Your Majesty summoned Prime Minister Gan into the palace to discuss military affairs." ”

Gan Qi is not the one who is unforgiving, but he has a bad temper, and replied: "I am tired of Sima Zhongcheng to go back to report, and he said that he is at home with filial piety, and it is inconvenient to participate in official affairs." ”

Sima Guang was so angry that he wanted to scold, he looked at Gan Qi, but he couldn't be angry, so he could only persuade again: "Your Majesty's love is a big matter, and please move Gan Xiangyi into the hall." ”

"It's not suitable, son of a saint, how can you be unfilial? Then you go and report to your majesty, and say that I am willing to be solid and inconvenient. Gan Qi replied as he tucked up his sleeves.

Officials don't listen to the emperor's words, this is a big crime, but there is a Song Dynasty, but it is common for officials not to be called, especially in the Renzong Dynasty, there are many things where officials hide and do not go to be officials, such as Bao Zheng, who often does this kind of thing, thinking that Mingzhi.

Sima Guang's face was flushed, his fists were clenched tightly, and it was impossible for him to say anything flattering with a smile on his face, so he held it back like this, and didn't look up at Gan Qi, as if he was angry and enduring it again.

But in Gan Qi's view, Sima Guang is like a little daughter-in-law at this time, but it is interesting and fun.

Gan Qi said again: "Look at Sima Zhongcheng's face, if you are in a hurry, just go." ”

"The lower officials are not in a hurry, the hundreds of military officials in the palace, as well as His Majesty, are waiting for Gan Xianggong to discuss the 100,000 urgent military affairs, and please ask Gan Xianggong to focus on the overall situation." This is already the lowest thing Sima Guang can say.

Gan Qi stood up and ignored Sima Guang, but walked to the door, looked up at the sky, and said slowly: "The wind and the sun are beautiful, it is really a good weather, life is in the world, you think you have seen it through, but you don't know that you don't even understand the fur." Sima Guang, Sima Guang, if you want to talk about the way to govern the country, you are still far behind, and if you want to say that the overall situation is important, you don't understand what the overall situation is. Speaking of which, I don't actually hate you, but you always do something nasty. ”

Sima Guang held his face and didn't say a word.

"Actually, I don't want to embarrass you, I just think you don't have the talent to govern the country......" Gan Qi shook his head and walked slowly into the courtyard.

Sima Guang didn't look up at Gan Qi, Gan Qi's words, he naturally felt uncomfortable in his heart, but this is Gan Qi's sincere words, Sima Guang is really not a talent for governing the country, he is a talent for learning, and it is more suitable for him to write history books well.

Sima Guang was angry, but at this time, he could only endure it, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were waiting, and he had to persuade Gan Qi to go to the court. This is also his way of doing things, entrusted by the king, he dare not disobey, and he does not dare to mess with the major affairs of his family and country. Conservative pedantic, in fact, also has the advantages of conservative pedantic. He won't be angry for a moment, he really messed things up.

He lowered his head, held back, held it for a while, and when he opened his mouth, he said a few words that were difficult to say to persuade Ganch. I also comforted myself in my heart, if it weren't for the emperor's order, he wouldn't have come to find this villain Gan Qi when he was killed.

After holding back for a while, the gentleman Sima Guang got up and looked up, looked at where Gan Qi was, and prepared to persuade him again. He thought Gan Qi was in the courtyard, but when he came out to see, Gan Qi was no longer in the courtyard.

Sima Guang looked left and right again, he thought that Gan Qi was hiding and didn't see him, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and shouted, "Is there anyone?" Someone's coming! ”

Gan Ba came out of the corridor in front of his head and asked with a loud voice, "What are you yelling about?" ”

was reprimanded by a rude man, Sima Guang didn't have time to get angry, and immediately asked, "Where is your father-in-law?" Where did it go? ”

Gan Ba glared angrily: "Didn't you come to invite my father-in-law?" Why are you still here? ”

"What? Where did your father-in-law go? Take the official to find it. "Sima Guang doesn't have a good temper either.

Gan Ba took a few steps forward: "You bird, aren't you begging for a fight?" My father-in-law just went out and got in the car and entered the palace, but you are still looking for it here, didn't you deliberately trick me? Looks like you're really begging! ”

As he spoke, Gan Ba came up, waved his fist, and made a gesture to hit someone.

Sima Guang didn't think about being beaten, but was shocked: "What? Did he enter the palace? ”

While surprised, Sima Guang ran out, there was still his carriage at the door, and he got into the car when he went out, and said again and again: "Hurry up, Imperial City, go quickly." ”

Gan Ba also scolded: "Bird, count yourself fast!" ”

Sima Guang was tricked by Gan Qi, but he was not angry, and finally completed the emperor's order, so he could only keep urging the frame to accelerate.

Gan Qi advanced into the main hall, and after Sima Guang entered the imperial city, he ran all the way, panting, and Gan Qi came back and forth.

When Gan Qi entered the palace, many people were embarrassed, including Emperor Zhao Shu.

Gan Qi, dressed in a plain Confucian shirt, strode forward until he reached the front, and entered the column behind Fu Bi. All eyes were on him, watching him walk slowly forward, watching him bow down. Except for Zeng Gongliang, there was not a single smiling face in the audience.

"This ...... Ah, since Gan Xiang is here, let's start the discussion......" Zhao Shu opened his mouth to break the embarrassment.

Gan Qi suddenly stood up and spoke: "The minister has a play!" ”

"Say, Gan Xiang said yes." Zhao Shu has a bit of a conscience, at least he knows that he is embarrassed and weak at this time.

"The minister gave 3 million yuan of money and grain, led 7,000 cavalry in Tokyo, and then transferred 50,000 mighty troops from Yanyun to Yanzhou, defeated the party's 150,000 army, and captured at least five states. I don't know what you think? Gan Qi was more straightforward than everyone else, and he didn't bother to wait for those twists and turns, and he would save trouble early when he finished speaking.

Then the audience was silent, not frightened, but they didn't expect Gan Qi to say such words, let alone Gan Qi to pay a huge sum of three million yuan when he opened his mouth.

Zhao Shu didn't react a little, when Sima Guang went to invite Gan Qi just now, the court was discussing the matter of military expenses and food, and he was in a hurry, and the method discussed was also to let the yamen of various ministries share it, and he was arguing about which yamen would pay 50,000 yuan and which yamen would pay 30,000, and the battle was inextricable.

Suddenly, as soon as Gan Qi came, he opened his mouth to say that he had covered all the expenses of this expedition, who would have thought that this would have happened?

Sima Guangdu looked up at Gan Qi with a stunned face, and asked Gan Qi to take two million out in front of his head, Gan Qi didn't want to kill him, at this time the war started, Gan Qi opened his mouth to cover the military expenses, Sima Guang was very surprised, and he was so surprised that he was suddenly a little ashamed.

He remembered what Gan Qi had said to him before he went out, saying that he didn't understand what the overall situation was, and at this time, he suddenly thought, Gan Qi is just talking about it now? He had already calculated that there was still war coming, and he knew that the treasury was empty, so he kept the money for military expenses?

Sima Guang thought wildly, and Zeng Gongliang already smiled in front of him: "This is so good, Your Majesty, so everything is fine, and if you are willing to go on the expedition, you will definitely triumph." Gan Xiang also solved the matter of food and salary, so loyal, rare in ancient and modern times! ”

If it was the previous court, Zeng Gongliang praised Gan Qi, someone would inevitably seconded the proposal, such as Wang Anshi, Tang Jie and others, they would come out and say a few words.

But now, Zeng Gongliang praised Gan Qi, but no one answered.

Gan Qi himself answered: "Zeng Xianggong praised it falsely, the major affairs of the family and the country, and the importance of the society, how can it be abolished because of his own selfishness?" ”

As soon as this sentence was said, Sima Guang's face turned red, wasn't this what he used to scold Gan Qi? Isn't it because of this sentence that he wants to cut off his robe with Ganchi?

No one agreed, and Zeng Gongliang continued to praise: "My Great Song Dynasty has such a civil and military talent as Gan Xiang, and the society can be safe!" Please also ask Your Majesty to give an order, and do what Gan Xiang said! ”

Zhao Shu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, just follow the policy of Gan Xiang, the old man Wen, and ask the Privy Council to quickly transfer troops to Fu Dayin, the military order is established, the troops are dispatched, and the troops are dispatched quickly!" ”

Wen Yanbo's face was complicated, and he said yes.

"I'm in Tokyo, just waiting for Gan Xiang to triumph!" Emperor Zhao Shu was more satisfied than everyone present, the money and grain were solved, the army was solved, and the commander of the troops was solved, and it was beyond imagination.

Gan Qi didn't say much, stepped forward and arched his hand, and said: "Please give an order to Prime Minister Wen and transfer a few people to the army to listen to it." The military general was stunned, the Privy Council edited Zhang Qi, and the former Imperial City Commander Li Ming. ”

Wen Yanbo looked up at the emperor.

Emperor Zhao Shu waved his hand: "Allowed!" ”

Gan Qi bowed his hand again: "The minister retired, went to the barracks to order troops, and asked Xianggong Wen to send all the military talismans and seals to the barracks." ”

Zhao Shu nodded subconsciously, Gan Qi had already retreated, and he said he would leave.

Everyone in the audience watched Gan Qi leave, and they didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere above the court suddenly became a little weird, Gan Qi disappeared at the door of the main hall, everyone's eyes had not been withdrawn from the door, and no one spoke.

I don't know what everyone is thinking, even the emperor just looked at it like this, and sighed softly.

It seems that at such a delicate moment, many people feel that this court owes Gan Qi a debt, and some people feel that Gan Qi is too arrogant and acts in a style that no courtier should have, and there is a lack of humility and respect.

It was still Zeng Gongliang who broke the silence at this time, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, as soon as you go, the northwest is worry-free, it is the party members who should be anxious, this battle will ensure the peace of the northwest for 20 years." ”

Zhao Shu nodded: "Well, then let's disperse, all the yamen are cooperating with Gan Xiang to raise food and grass, even if everyone can't contribute money, they must contribute, and they must not slack off." ”

After retreating, the emperor turned around and left, and everyone slowly retreated. On the way back to the study, the emperor always felt that something was blocked in his heart, which made people a little uncomfortable, perhaps because he was also ashamed in his heart, maybe because Gan Qi's demeanor was too much just now, as if as soon as he made a move, everything was solved. It seems that Gan Qi is more capable than him, the emperor, and there is nothing Gan Qi can't do?

This feeling is not a good feeling.

That Sima Guang slowly walked out of the imperial city, looked left and right, and sighed for a long time, muttering in his mouth: "What is this called?" ”

What is this called?

One word, two states of mind.

In the barracks, the horn was raised, and seven thousand cavalry gathered in a roar.

Gan Qi on the platform, his eyes scanned left and right, the majesty was out, and after the generals of the various departments stepped forward to report, they were just waiting for orders.

Gan Qi made several rounds from side to side, with a straight face, and only said one sentence: "Deal with everything, start tomorrow morning, and fight." ”

"Yes!" The sound shook the sky.

Ganchi got on his horse and left.

At the gate of the barracks, Li Ming had just arrived, and when he saw Gan Qi, he hurriedly bowed to him: "Thank you Gan Xianggong for raising me!"

"Don't thank me, report quickly, take care of everything tonight, and start tomorrow." Gan Qi's voice was still there, and the people had already beaten their horses.

Li Ming bowed again, got up and looked at Gan Qi who was rushing away, and said to himself: "Fortunately, I am fortunate to know Gan Xianggong, and my ancestors bless, let me return with Gan Xianggong's merits this time, add officials to the knighthood, and glorify the lintel." ”

Zhang Qi, from the Privy Council, held a large number of talisman seals to the military camp, and reported to Shi Honglei for handover.

When Ganchi came home, he also began to pack his things, and the armor hanging on the wooden shelves was taken off and scrubbed, and he changed into clothes, and he had to pack them.

Gan Qi opened first, but he still had to keep people in the capital to do business, raise food, Bianliang City is big, the transportation is convenient, you have to sell a batch of grain here, and then go all the way to the northwest, buy all the way, buy all the way to the army.

Gan Qi was going to hand over the matter of raising food in Tokyo to Zhang Qi to be in charge, but Gan Qi also had a helper, Han Jiang sent by the imperial court, and Han Jiang was in charge of these on the way.

Money, Gan Qi has, but it is mostly in Yanyun, a large amount of money, Gan Qi did not transport it back to Bianliang at all, but Gan Qi himself still has some money, so use it first. The cellar in his house was opened, and Gan Ba took people and immediately emptied it.

At night, Gan Qi was still busy, arranging things, the shopkeepers from all over the place came, Zhang Ji also came, the money was handed over to Zhang Kai, and the shopkeepers everywhere helped Zhang Kai work. It seemed that there was no need for the court to intervene at all, and Gan Qi himself arranged all these things almost completely.

The army went first, and the grain and grass were sent to the army as they went, and they were bought wherever they went. In the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, this is good, the people are rich, and they don't have to worry about eating anywhere if they have money.

But suddenly the porter came to report: "Master, the royal history is here to worship." ”

Somewhat surprised, Gan Qi waved his hand: "Please come in." ”

Sima Guang, the middle of the imperial history, walked into the front hall of Gan Qi's house, and countless people in the front hall were listening to Gan Qi's various arrangements.

After Sima Guang came in, he bowed down, but he didn't come close, just waiting for Gan Qi to finish arranging everything.

More than an hour passed, and in the middle of the night, the talents of the Ganqi family slowly dispersed, just waiting for tomorrow to do their own things.

Sima Guang also stepped forward to bow: "I've seen Gan Xianggong." ”

Gan Qi looked at Sima Guang and said, "Before you came, you thought you had hesitated for a long time, right?" ”

"Your Majesty is ashamed!" Sima Guang replied directly.

"Don't be ashamed, the two of us are different from each other after all." Gan Qi replied, he seemed to know what Sima Guang was doing.

"The lower official is here to take back the words of cutting his robe and breaking his meaning in the morning." Sima Guang is a gentleman at this point.

Gan Qi was noncommittal, and only said: "Don't take it early, one day, you will have to say such things." It's not too early, you can go back. ”

After Sima Guang finished saying what he wanted to say, he didn't say much, and bowed: "The official is leaving." ”

Sima Guang is this era and represents this era.

Gan Qi will eventually break this era, so Gan Qi knows that the two will never be fellow travelers, and if Sima Guang takes it back today, he will have to say it in the future.

These have nothing to do with personal feelings. It's not something that Sima Guang can change with a word of shame.

The pace of the times, the wheel of history, is rolling forward.

Gan Qi, who returned to Bianliang, was bound to be sharp, and with the most powerful means, he began to do the things he had already decided in his heart, and no one could really stop him, the emperor couldn't do it, and when he came back, the emperor had already changed.
