Chapter 556: A Farce......
Ganchi left the Imperial City and returned home.
Zhao Zonglan has just given birth to a child, and the name is still waiting for Gan Qi to come home to pick it up, but Gan Qi's son was born as the grandfather of the country.
Gan Qi held his son and looked at it, the child slept very soundly, while falling asleep, he smashed his mouth, his eyelashes were very long, his nose was not small, and he looked at it for a long time, and Gan Qi spoke: "Take the word 'cloud', idle clouds and wild cranes are good days." ”
Recently, Gan Qi has been very troubled, and he is also used to being self-moved, so he named his son, but in fact, he was also moved by himself, and he felt that he was angry, and the idle clouds and wild cranes were sustenance.
But obviously, this idle cloud wild crane is really not what Gan Qi really thinks in his heart, he has never thought that he really wants to go to the days of idle cloud wild cranes.
"Husband, this name is excellent." It was these words that Zhao Zonglan shed tears, in this family, only Zhao Zonglan knows what Gan Qi's situation is now.
Everyone else is laughing happily, the man in the family is back, and he has made meritorious contributions, he is safe and sound, and he is smiling happily, only Zhao Zonglan, who can shed tears when he hears the words of Gan Qi's name.
Gan Qi also sighed, patted Zhao Zonglan's shoulder, and cast a more resolute look.
The husband and wife's actions made everyone next to them smile, and they didn't know what was going on, they only knew that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Gan Qi immediately laughed again, turned his head and greeted everyone one by one.
Zhao Zonglan wiped her tears and ordered to prepare hot water, not long after, the dusty Gan Qi was already sitting in the big wooden barrel, Zhang Shuyuan and Chunxi helped Gan Qi scrub slowly, and Wu Qiaoer was matching Gan Qi with new clothes.
Gan Qi closed his eyes and enjoyed it, but he couldn't give birth to the slightest charm in his heart.
The matter has come to this, what will the emperor do, Gan Qi has many predictions in his heart, how to deal with it is the most important thing, Gan Qi's brain is running wildly.
Derogatory, Gan Qi is not afraid. The new emperor ascended the throne, and the Khitan had to make a comeback, and returning to Beijing was just around the corner. No matter what, Zhao Zhongzhen is here, Gan Qi is not in a hurry, even if Zhao Shu wants to explain something to Zhao Zhongzhen, Gan Qi is still confident.
And this derogatory thing, is there really a reasonable reason, if you really want to talk about it, Gan Qi didn't resist and disobey the order, he just came back slowly, just because he came back slowly, he was relegated to Hainan Island, the hero who collected Yanyun, defeated the party, and opened the river?
This is unjustifiable in any way, and this is where Ganch's self-confidence comes from. The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty read a lot, and he had to behave in a proper manner, which was an innate gene. Otherwise, there will be an uproar in the world, and the faint monarch will be in charge, so I will ask him if Zhao Shu is afraid.
I'm afraid that when the time comes, Gan Qi will get the sympathy of the people of the world, and he will really raise the banner of righteousness and clean the king's side!
Murder by design? This is what Gan Qi is worried about, if he really wants to cut it for some reason, then everything will be over, although Zhao Shu is not the one who does this kind of thing, but everything can't be completely determined, what if Zhao Shu really has a heart in his heart and does this, what should I do?
So you have to think about it, you have to analyze it carefully.
If Zhao Shu wants to kill someone, who will he ask to do, who will arrange it, and who will do it?
A civil servant like Fu Bi Wen Yanbo, except for the imperial court system, they can't find this kind of dead soldier, how can the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty make friends with the dog slaughterers? They don't even have that channel. The imperial court system is nothing more than the Imperial City Division and the Forbidden Army.
There is another person, I have to analyze, the palace commander Li Zhang, this person is Renzong's cousin, his father Li Yonghe is Renzong's own uncle, and he also did the errand of guarding the imperial city, and later Li Zhang made up for his father's errand, and then took charge of the emperor's safety.
Gan Qi and Li Zhang are not familiar with each other, Li Zhang may help Zhao Shu arrange this kind of thing, if Li Zhang arranges this kind of thing, who will he find?
Mighty and strong? The rivers and lakes in the northern part of the Gyeonggi River, in fact, Gan Qi is familiar, because he is born in the rivers and lakes, but now Gan Qi is not familiar, but Gan Ba is familiar, since Gan Ba has established such a powerful position in Beibi Mountain, the Jianghu people in the north of Gyeonggi Hebei, who know that there is such a villain as Gan Ba who kills the whole family in Bianliang City, this matter has to let Gan Ba run around and ask, invite people to eat and drink everywhere, and also throw some money everywhere to go out.
If Li Zhang is looking for the Imperial City Guards or something, Chongban in front of the palace, or the Imperial City Division. That's good to say, the Di family brothers will help Gan Qi keep an eye on it, and now Li Ming, the former Imperial City Administrator who has also made war exploits, should also come in handy at this time. Let Li Ming take a sum of money out for a walk, the former henchmen, who should be pulled, should be pulled. If you are not a confidant, you have to scatter a lot of copper coins.
Nowadays, all means have to be used.
While taking a bath, Gan Qi thought about it, turned his head and thought about it, and made another decision, he was going to find Li Zhang to sit down in person, the matter had come to this point, it must be foolproof, and not a drop of water leaked.
Ganchi was plotting.
In the imperial city, Zhao Shu was also planning, he was not as decisive as Gan Qi, but now that he was forced into a corner, no matter what, he had to come up with a way to deal with Gan Qi.
Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo naturally came to Zhao Shu's bed.
"Two virtuous ministers, how to deal with Ganqi's matter, please think of a way quickly." Zhao Shuqiang was in high spirits and a little excited.
When Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo heard this, they were overjoyed, they were looking forward to this moment, hoping that the emperor would quickly solve Gan Qi, otherwise if Zhao Shu had a chance and the new emperor ascended the throne, then everything would be over.
Fu Bi spoke directly: "Your Majesty, if you don't degrade it, you will be degraded to a distant place for the crime of disobeying the holy order." ”
Zhao Shu shook his head: "This move is inappropriate, first, it is difficult to convince the public, and secondly, it is ...... Second, who can say clearly what will happen in the future? The two virtuous ministers are old after all, and now the people of the world, how much Gan Qi, ten or twenty years later, if everyone is elected and Gan Qi rises again, how should it be? ”
Zhao Shu began to think further, he wanted a method once and for all.
Fu Bi understood and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ...... If you don't design a game, you will punish him for a crime of rebellion! So once and for all. ”
Wen Yanbo is always more straightforward: "Since you want to set up a game, it is better to directly set up a dead end, so that it is truly done once and for all." ”
Fu Bi was taken aback when he heard this, and turned his head to ask Wen Yanbo: "Isn't the meaning of Wen Xiang ......?"
Wen Yanbo nodded: "Kill!" ”
Fu Bi didn't know whether it was really shocked or fake, so he was stunned and silent.
Zhao Shu thought for a moment and asked, "How to kill him?" ”
"Seeking the dead, lying on the side of the temple, summoning the right play, smashing the cup out, slashing and slashing." Wen Yanbo read the book, and the process was also extremely detailed.
"Okay?" Zhao Shu asked.
Fu Bi waved his hand: "It's quite inappropriate, once you really do such a situation, Your Majesty and I will be infamous for the ages." Since the bureau is set up, it is more cumbersome, and it can block the world's mouths by rebelling. ”
"Rich and good." Zhao Shu was interested in this method.
"I once heard someone say that Gan Daojian himself made a short gun that spontaneously came to fire, no need to twist the fire, no need to ignite, the spring can be fired, the power is amazing......" Fu Bi said here, thought about it for a while, and then said: "You can let Gan Daojian take this thing to the front of the emperor, and say that Your Majesty wants to see the law of this thing and promote the whole army." ”
When Fu Bi said this, he habitually stopped selling guanzi, but Wen Yanbo directly answered: "Stay in front of the emperor, throw the cup left and right, capture it, and go to prison for trial!" He said that he raised his sword and stabbed it! ”
Fu Bi nodded.
Zhao Shu pondered.
Fu Bi spoke again: "When the time comes, the minister will find some officials on his side and witness the evidence with his own eyes!" ”
Wen Yanbo was even more desperate and said: "You can also summon a few imperial historians to come, let the imperial historians wait outside the palace, and as soon as things in the palace come out, let the imperial historians come in to see." ”
"It's so good, let Sima Guang wait outside the palace to be summoned, wait until Gan Qi captures it, just let Sima Guang come in and take a look, the human and material evidence is there." Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo, this is a tacit understanding.
"In this way, he will be confirmed for the great crime of assassinating the king and killing the driver." Wen Yanbo swears.
Zhao Shu asked, "What if he doesn't come?" ”
"The Son of Heaven is calling, how dare he not come? If you don't come, isn't your heart weak? If you don't come once, you will be called again twice, and if you don't come twice, you will be called again three times. If he never comes, doesn't that also confirm that he has rebelled? When the time comes, let the Yushitai summon, let the court summon, and the Son of Heaven will be summoned repeatedly. When the officials hear it, the world hears it, which is right and which is wrong? If you punish the guilt, you can also convince the public. "Wen Yanbo is definitely eating Ganqi, how can it be the same for the king and the minister?
Fu Bi stroked his beard: "Please also ask Your Majesty to decide, you can capture it, you can commit it, and you can't kill it easily." Killing after the event is truly done once and for all. ”
Zhao Shu hesitated, frowned, and nodded slowly: "Everything is entrusted to the two virtuous ministers." ”
Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo looked at each other, and their expressions became serious, such a big thing must be taken seriously.
At this time, Ganqi went out immediately after taking a shower, and didn't eat the first meal when he came home.
In front of Li Zhang's mansion, Gan Qi came to worship with his name.
The little man guarding the door took three steps and made two steps and galloped to report it.
After a long time, Li Zhang personally came to the door to greet him, and Gan Qi only brought a few people with him and sat in the main hall with Li Zhang.
The two have met a lot of times, but they really don't know each other, Li Zhang is a relative of the emperor, and he is the most trusted person of the royal family, and the father and son are responsible for the garrison of the palace.
Renzong's cousin Li Zhang is not young, his hair is gray, and he has gone through two dynasties, but he is also a cautious character, and he rarely gets close to foreign ministers, so he avoids suspicion.
Gan Qi came to the door today, and Li Zhang hesitated for a long time, to see or not to see? In the end, Li Zhang still saw it, not for anything else, but for Gan Qi's great meritorious service to the country.
The two exchanged a lot of pleasantries, and sat down to drink tea, before Li Zhang spoke: "Gan Xianggong, you shouldn't come to see the old man's ......"
Ganchi sighed: "Alas...... Whether you see it or not, it's not me, it's all in Mr. Li. ”
Li Zhang waved his hand: "The old man is so old, he doesn't want to participate in many things." ”
Li Zhang, the person who controls the safety of the imperial city, obviously has some understanding of the current situation, even if he doesn't know the details, how can he not have a little news about the things that come in and out of the palace every day, and the topics that are fought over every day?
"Old Xianggong Li, don't look at your old man who is silent on weekdays, but your old mind is the most thorough, I just want to ask, ask Old Xianggong Li, what should I do?" Gan Qi asked.
Li Zhang still waved his hand: "The old man doesn't know these things, and he doesn't know what Gan Xianggong wants to ask?" ”
Gan Qi picked up the tea and took a sip, and then said, "Old Minister Li, am I guilty?" ”
"Not guilty."
"Am I meritorious?"
"Meritorious service."
"So what should I do?"
"Why is this all the way back here? The old man was favored by the emperor and became a commander in front of the palace, and he only did this errand in his life, and the old man didn't know much about the rest. Li Zhang is still the same set of rhetoric.
Gan Qi didn't bother to say anything else, and said bluntly: "Someone wants me to die!" ”
"This person will not be an official." Li Zhang replied firmly, Zhao Shu in his impression couldn't do this kind of thing.
"Retreating bravely from the rapids and protecting one's life has become a luxury." Gan Qi came to Li Zhang, in fact, he didn't have any specific purpose, he just wanted to talk to Li Zhang, or to know what Li Zhang's attitude was towards him as a person, so it was enough.
"Don't think too much, the ups and downs of the court are commonplace. Gan Xianggong is young, and the future is long. Li Zhangzhen did not anticipate the seriousness of the situation.
"With the words of Mr. Li, I am relieved, I can sleep peacefully when I go home, stay here, and serve my family and country in the future." Gan Qi stood up and saluted.
Li Zhang stroked his beard and gave Gan Qi a smile.
Gan Qi smiled back, got up and went out, got in the car and left.
Not long after Gan Qi left, Li Zhang was about to wash and sleep, but he didn't expect the porter to report again: "Master, the Privy Council Minister Wen is visiting, see you?" ”
Li Zhang's brows furrowed, and he was already pacing.
The porter bowed beside him, waiting.
After a long time, Li Zhang replied, "See." ”
The porter rushed away, and the privy counsellor had waited at the door of the house for so long, and he was afraid that he would be angry.
Wen Yanbo sat in the place where Gan Qi was sitting just now, and said the same greetings that Gan Qi had just said.
Li Zhang still picked up the teacup and took a sip, and after greetings, Li Zhang said something similar again: "You shouldn't have come to me......"
Wen Yanbo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Li Xianggong knows what I am coming from?" ”
"I don't know."
"Then why do you say I shouldn't come?"
"I just shouldn't have come." Li Zhang sighed.
Where does that begin? Li Xianggong, the stakes are very high, Your Majesty personally ordered, Li Xianggong still has to listen to it. Wen Yanbo didn't smile at it.
"Say it." Li Zhang knew that he was going to be embarrassed, but he didn't know how difficult it was.
"Capture people in front of the palace." This kind of thing, Wen Yanbo can only rely on Li Zhang, except for Li Zhang, no one can help him.
"Who's being captured?" Li Zhang had an expectation.
"Gan Qi, Gan Daojian." Wen Yanbo word by word.
Li Zhang had already stood up.
"Your Majesty's intentions, please also ask Li Xianggong to do it properly."
"On what charge?"
"Assassination in front of the palace."
"Alas......" Li Zhang's footsteps kept going back and forth.
"This is the holy will, do you want to enter the palace to see Your Majesty?" Wen Yanbo saw that Li Zhang was hesitant and anxious.
"Xianggong Wen, you think things too simply, how about catching them?"
"The crime of stabbing in front of the palace and plotting rebellion will naturally be punished according to conspiracy, and all the servants will be sentenced to prison for trial."
"Wen Xianggong, Wen Xianggong, what a smart person Gan Qi is? Aren't you afraid that if you are careless when you walk at night, where will you fall and lose your life? "Li Zhang, he is well-informed.
"How can he, Ganch, have such guts?" Wen Yanbo didn't believe it, but Wen Yanbo was confident.
"You go back and tell Your Majesty, this matter can't be done." Li Zhang replied.
"Why can't it be done?" Wen Yanbo still didn't believe it.
"Literati do things, less decisive, less ruthless, less courageous." Li Zhang said it bluntly.
"What does Li Xianggong mean by this?"
"If Xianggong Wen really wants to do this wholeheartedly, if he goes home today to mention some of his henchmen, he will take advantage of the moonlight tonight to immediately kill Ganqi Mansion. In this way, it can be done. Otherwise, it won't work. Li Zhang's words are really in one sentence. If you look at it from another angle, Gan Qi is Wen Yanbo, and he wants to do this for the emperor, Gan Qi will do it as Li Zhang said today.
If you hesitate, procrastinate, and plan, you will be defeated, and this is the truth throughout the ages.
Why did Li Zhang say that this could not be done? Because Gan Qi was sitting in the position where Wen Yanbo was sitting just now, because Gan Qi had already been alert and had already taken precautions. A character like Gan Qi, once he is vigilant, how can he succeed?
As Li Zhang said, if Wen Yanbo wants to succeed, at this time, now, immediately, take the dead man to do it immediately, that is bold and resolute, and the chance of success is the greatest.
"Where do I find the dead? Why don't you lend me some dead soldiers? "Wen Yanbo is talking about anger, he is also angry, the emperor's order, when he got Li Zhang, he still shirked it, what does Li Zhang mean by this?
"Yes, how many people do you want? I'll lend it to you. Forbidden master. Li Zhang's answer was that he didn't have the courage to do so.
Wen Yanbo was stunned, he was joking, Li Zhang was serious.
Wen Yanbo smiled again: "Where did I do such a thing, don't I have to rely on Mr. Li?" He also asked Mr. Li to personally handle it. ”
"Then you go and report to Your Majesty, and say that when I am tonight, I will bring a hundred and ten henchmen to attack and kill Ganqi." Li Zhang's face was solemn, not like a fake.
"Really?"
Li Zhang nodded: "How can you laugh at Your Majesty's words, naturally take it seriously, I will teach people to contact and prepare." ”
Wen Yanbo waved his hand again and again: "It's impossible, kill like this, you have a lot of mouths, how to explain, infamous through the ages, I'm afraid it will be difficult to wash forever." ”
Li Zhang replied: "You also told Your Majesty that it may not be possible to kill, if you mention a thousand, you are afraid of startling the snake, if you go with a hundred or ten people, Gan Qi's family has a lot of elite soldiers in a hundred battles, maybe he will really let him escape." ”
"This ......" Wen Yanbo felt that the topic was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Old Minister Li, let's not talk about killing, we're talking about capture, in the Imperial City, it's not difficult to capture him." Isn't the old minister going to disobey the holy will? ”
"Alas...... If Your Majesty really wants to do it, then there is nothing to be done, my old bones, this is the errand that takes place. Wen Xianggong, maybe one day, I will see your head hanging on a high place for public display. That's it, grab and grab, can't hold it, maybe my old bones are also affected by you. ”
"So, is Old Minister Li following the holy will?"
"Alas...... I want to protect myself, and I also want to, but the world is favored by the emperor, and the Zhao family lives and dies. If you don't believe me, Your Majesty will insist on going your own way, what can I do? Li Zhang expressed endless helplessness.
"That's good, Li Xianggong hurriedly looked for a henchman. I'll let you know. "Wen Yanbo is overjoyed.
"The manpower will be available, I hope it will be successful, and I also hope that the court can be a pillar of talent in the future." Li Zhang raised his hand and sent off the guest.
Wen Yanbo didn't stay long, and he had to return to his life.
Li Zhang looked at Wen Yanbo's back and shook his head: "It's a farce...... Gan Daojian, Gan Daojian, you said that someone wanted you to die, I thought it was not Your Majesty, but I didn't think it was still you smart. I still don't understand the Emperor's Mind Technique......"
