Chapter 110: Conferment of Titles (1)
"The king of Guangping County is really a young hero, he actually subdued the Liangshan rebels, I heard that he conquered the Liangshan army with his own strength, and attacked Qingzhou City at night to let them abandon the city and flee, and the army was defeated and captured."
"Why is it that what I heard is different from you, the king of Guangping County showed his might and left no piece of armor killed by the Liangshan army, and fled in a hurry, forcing them to surrender and accept the imperial court's recruitment?"
"Lord Wang, are you listening to this version? But what I heard was that the king of Guangping County won the victory with the help of Jingdong West Road, Tai'an Army, and generals such as Zhang Shuye and Zeng Xiaoyun. ”
The ministers of the DPRK and China talked a lot, and Song Huizong listened to it in his ears and put it in his heart. At this moment, his face was red and smiling, and he laughed like he had never laughed before. Zhao Gouqi was victorious, and he recruited several generals who could fight well for the Great Song Dynasty, and he was really a little happy in his heart, and he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and smiled.
In recent years, Song Huizong has been busy with the affairs of the imperial court, and Gao Yu and others have made waves, so that they are sad every day and are at a loss. Zhao Gouqi's victory made him smile several times more than in the past, and he was full of joy. Although Zhao Gou won the victory, everyone speculated, some people were surprised, and some people hated it even more.
Gao Yu thought with a sneer: "I didn't expect this kid to be completely civil and military, not only has good martial arts, but can also lead the army to fight on the battlefield, a rare talent of the Great Song Dynasty." He must be rewarded by the Holy Divine for such a great deed this time, and he must be on an equal footing with me at that time, and if you want to attack him again, you must plan and act later. ”
"Since the Liangshan rebels have all come to confer the title, then they must be a little grateful to Zhao Gou, as long as they do anything wrong, they can be wiped out, and they can be resettled on that kid. Hum! …… If you want to be on an equal footing with me, even if you are a prince, you have to weigh your own weight. ”
"Lao Jiu really completed this impossible task?" Acting King Zhao Heng looked nervous, and said anxiously: "If this continues, the position of my emperor's eldest son is in jeopardy, and my father loves Lao Jiu even more." If he gains power again, how can there be a place for me, then I won't have any position in front of my father? ”
"Lao Jiu has been favored by his father since he was a child, and he is partial to him, if he is allowed to gain power again, Lao Jiu will become the prince, it will be a matter of the nail, something that cannot be changed. I will never allow such a thing to happen, absolutely not allow, even if it is unscrupulous, I want to get the position of the crown prince, Lao Jiu's performance is too prominent, I must guard against him, so as not to really be in power by him, where is the figure of me, the eldest son of the emperor? ”
Liu Zhongwu was secretly surprised: "I didn't expect this kid to really be able to defeat the Liangshan army, I don't know what happened to Qi'er?" ”
Zong Ze was excited, and thought: "This King of Guangping County is really unexpected, and he really did it." This incident has passed, and the old man has to personally visit the king of the county, commanding the army at the age of twelve, and winning the victory, such actions are afraid that they are on a par with Taizu and Taizong, and they are indeed dragons and phoenixes among people. ”
Seed Master Dao was dumbfounded, stroked his beard and nodded appreciatively, and said, "I didn't expect him to really complete the task, this son is much more powerful than the emperor's eldest son." ”
The ministers of the court and the central government had their own thoughts, only to see that the messengers came one after another to report that Zhao Gou led Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others, and Song Jiang and others had entered Bianjing City and were heading in the direction of the imperial city. When he reported it, Song Huizong was complacent, happily closed his mouth, he wanted to be greeted by a hundred officials, but was opposed by everyone, only because Zhao Gou pacified the rebels for the first time, if such a battle so that the people of the world would not say that he was so happy, he would stop.
There is no way to do it by welcoming hundreds of officials, but if you gather many civil and military officials, it will be a matter of holy decree, and it can be done easily. Song Huizong has been preparing for a long time in order to wait for this day. After learning about Zhao Gou's marching route, Song Huizong began to order people to do it, so that all the ministers were dressed neatly and stayed in the main hall, in order to welcome Zhao Gou's triumphant return.
Song Huizong looked at the gate with a smile on his face, quietly waiting for Zhao Gou and the others to come. A moment later, someone outside the palace reported to Song Huizong, saying that Zhao Gou and others had come, and he laughed even more. The ministers of the Chinese military department looked sideways at the gate, only to see Zhao Jian step into the main hall first, followed by Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others, and Song Jiang and others also followed into the Daqing Hall.
Generally speaking, there are no major events or affairs celebrated by the whole country in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Daqing Hall will not be used. The place where the emperor handles government affairs on a daily basis is the vertical arch hall on the west side of the Daqing Palace. The Chinese military ministers of the dynasty, headed by the minister of the court, entered the Wende Hall step by step, waiting for the emperor's holy decree before entering the Hanging Arch Hall and making daily pilgrimages.
After Zhao Gou led Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others into the palace, the eunuch next to him told him that the emperor had been waiting in the Daqing Hall for a long time. When Zhao Gou heard this, he immediately rushed to the Daqing Hall non-stop. Song Jiang and the others were a little flattered when they heard that they were receiving themselves and others in the Daqing Palace, just because the Daqing Hall received them, which was a supreme honor and showed the sincerity of Song Huizong.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Zhao Gou took the lead in kneeling on the ground, and everyone also hurriedly knelt on the ground, shouting in unison, which made Song Huizong's heart flutter. Zhao Gou stood up again, and everyone also stood up, and said with a slight smile: "Enlighten the father, the son led the Liangshan army soldiers to meet him, and the Song leader also agreed to the imperial court to recruit peace, and asked the father to decide." ”
Song Huizong nodded with a smile, let Zhao Gou, Yue Fei and others stand aside, looked at Song Jiang and the other generals intently, and said, "You are Song Jiang, the leader of the Liangshan Army?" ”
Song Jiangzuo bowed and replied: "The grass people are!" ”
"Are you guilty?" Song Huizong's face became cold, and he shouted loudly.
Song Huizong's face changed suddenly, all the ministers of the court and the central government were stunned, and Zhao Gou and the others didn't know why, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Father! ……”
"It's none of your business, stand aside for me!" Song Huizong turned his face ruthlessly, the ministers of the court and the central government were even more shocked, Zhao Gou was also dumbfounded, he had never seen his father like this, and he heard Song Huizong's cold face, and shouted: "Song Jiang, are you guilty?" ”
Song Jiang bowed down and said, "The grass people are guilty!" ”
Song Huizong snorted coldly: "As a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, he doesn't want to be loyal to the country, and intends to commit the following crimes and gather people to rebel, do you know that this is a capital crime?" ”
Song Jiang replied: "The grass people know that it is a capital crime, and they are willing to apologize for their crimes with death, and ask the emperor to bypass the brothers!" ”
"Brother Gongming!" Everyone was thinking about what Song Huizong was going to do, but they never thought that he would turn his face faster than turning a book, and if he didn't give Song Jiang and others a chance to explain, he would come up and ask the master for the crime, and everyone was angry in their hearts, staring at Song Huizong deadly, eager to kill him immediately.
Song Huizong saw that everyone was looking at him murderously, Zhao Gou was also anxious, and Gao Yu shouted in a timely manner when he saw this: "Come on, catch the thief!" ”
Song Jiang and the others saw the Imperial Forest Army coming, he knew that he was already in the tiger's mouth, and it was difficult to get out, and he was reluctant to let his brothers sacrifice, and he just wanted to exchange his own death for the lives of his brothers.
"Who dare to act in vain? All of them are for the king to step down! ”
Zhao Gou roared angrily, and the Imperial Forest Army saw that Zhao Gou, the king of Guangping County, looked at him and the others angrily, and they didn't dare to come forward to arrest Song Jiang and the others. After all, Zhao Gou's eyes widened, as if he was about to breathe fire, if they dared to move half a step, Zhao Gou must be merciless, they had just heard the Royal Forest Army brothers who went to Zhao Gou before said that Zhao Gou's martial arts were unfathomable, and he was still the identity of the county king, and he was also an envoy of the Privy Council, ranking in the second rank, and Gao Yu was on an equal footing, where did he dare to move.
Gao Yu saw that Zhao Gou was angry, looked at the Imperial Forest Army gloomily, and hurriedly shouted: "Lord Junwang, do you really want to help these thieves?" Don't you forget, what the Holy One said before, where did you put the Holy One by doing so? Are you still the king of the county? ”
Zhao Gou sneered at each other: "Gao Taiwei, it's not your turn to judge the affairs of this king, they are afraid of your power, I am not afraid." If you annoy me, beware of this king beating you together! You slaves, your father has not yet given an order, so you rashly broke into the Daqing Palace, don't you want to live? If you don't give me a retreat, if you dare to enter the Daqing Hall without authorization, beware that this king will dismiss all of you and investigate you! ”
The Imperial Forest Army looked embarrassed, and smiled bitterly in their hearts, they looked at Zhao Gou and then at Gao Yu, and then looked at Song Huizong, seeing that his face was gloomy, as if he did not put him as the emperor in his eyes, the two of them openly tore their faces, especially Zhao Gou's domineering words, even Gao Yu was a little timid, and he also knew that Zhao Gou's martial arts were unfathomable.
Gao Yu was so angry by Zhao Gou that he couldn't speak, and for a long time, he sneered and said: "Lord Junwang is really a great official!" ”
