Chapter 111: Conferment of Titles (2)
Song Huizong's face was dark, his cold eyes glanced at everyone, and sneered: "Do you still have me in your eyes?" All of them are shut up by me, all of you are to be me, and whoever dares to enter the Daqing Hall without my order will be killed, and you will get out quickly. ”
The Imperial Forest Army withdrew from the Daqing Hall in a daze, and Song Huizong's eyes fell on Zhao Gou, and asked: "Gou'er, you are so bold, dare to show off your strength in front of me, do you still have the emperor in your eyes?" What a crime to dare to commit! ”
Zhao Gou was not afraid, even if he died, he once promised to keep Song Jiang and others safe. Since he is a recruiter, even if the current emperor is his father, Zhao Gou still insists on his position and will never waver. If it weren't for Song Huizong wanting to kill Song Jiang and the others, Zhao Gou would not have lost his square inch and almost caused a catastrophe.
"Father, the sons and daughters know that the palace will be severely punished, so they have no choice but to do it." Zhao Gou replied loudly, "Song Jiang and the others are the generals of the Liangshan rebels, but they accept the court's recruitment, and they believe that the ministers are willing to come with me, and even the soldiers under their command are all handed over to the court to deal with, and there is not a single soldier around them, so they come alone." ”
On that day, when Erchen went to Zhao'an Song Jiang and others as Zhao'an envoys, and when they were willing to accept Zhao'an, Erchen promised to give them a chance to change their ways, so that they could serve the imperial court. Now, the father and the emperor indiscriminately want to kill Song Jiang and others, so the promise that the son once promised is not a false word, the son is the prince, and he is also an official of the court, how can he say it without counting, even if the father punishes the son, it doesn't matter, the son only asks the father to bypass them for the capital crime. ”
Song Huizong roared angrily: "Goo'er, don't dare to look at a monarch because of my favor, if you dare to intercede again, be careful of your own safety, and give me down." ”
Zhao Gou stared at Song Huizong unswervingly, and resolutely stood his ground, even if he was in a different place, he would never be untrustworthy. At this time, Zhao Gou is like a hot-blooded man, he is not afraid of any danger at all, even if the person in front of him is the current emperor, Zhao Gou still does not show the slightest timidity.
Song Huizong was furious, since he ascended the throne as emperor, he had never met anyone who dared to violate his holy will, let alone his own son, and roared angrily: "I will give you another chance, if you don't retreat, you will be punished with Song Jiang and others, and you will never be spared." ”
Zhao Gou was calm and relaxed, and said sonorously: "The gentleman has something to do and something not to do, Erchen deeply knows that Song Jiang and others are sincere to the imperial court and are willing to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and their talents Erchen has seen it with his own eyes." If the father insisted, the sons could only risk death to intercede, only begging the father to give them the opportunity to serve the Great Song Dynasty, and the sons would guarantee that they would have no second heart with their lives. ”
Song Jiang and the others were disappointed when they saw that Song Huizong had no faith in his words, and even Zhao Gou hated them together, if it weren't for Zhao Gou's promise that they would be safe and sound, or if the situation was unfavorable, they would rather die than submit to the imperial court. However, Zhao Gou desperately advised, even in the face of the emperor, he was willing to intercede for them, and he was willing to fight for them.
At this moment, Song Jiang and the others sincerely admired Zhao Gou, they had never thought that Zhao Gou would trust him so much, and they were a little surprised and a little happy in their hearts. The heart that wanted to die was also given up at this moment, everyone knelt on the ground in unison, and Song Jiang said respectfully: "Qi to the emperor, the grass people know that it is a capital crime to commit rebellion, and they don't ask the emperor to forgive me and other crimes, and ask the emperor to forgive the crime of the king of Guangping County, and the grass people are willing to apologize for their crimes with death." ”
Everyone shouted in unison: "I am willing to apologize with death, and I hope that the emperor will be extrajudicial and bypass the king of Guangping County!" ”
Yue Fei, Tang Huai and the others also hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted: "The ministers ask the emperor to forgive the county king for the crime of disrespect!" ”
Wu Lan and Yang Yizhong also knelt down to beg Song Huizong, and even Liu Qi also knelt on the ground. At this moment, the soldiers who had been on the battlefield with him all knelt down and asked Song Huizong to forgive Zhao Gou for his sins, but the ministers of the court and the central government were silent, and Gao Yu sneered again and again, he wished that Zhao Gou would be beheaded; Acting King Zhao Heng was also gloating, and he was overjoyed.
Liu Zhongwu saw that his sons were helping Zhao Gou, he felt a little helpless, smiled bitterly, and thought secretly: "This kid will make trouble for me, alas! ......" The moment Liu Qi knelt on the ground, Liu Zhongwu knew that his son did not follow his orders and not get too close to Zhao Gou, which backfired, and still chose to follow in Zhao Gou's footsteps.
Liu Zhongwu took a step forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what the King of Guangping County did before was nothing more than valuing love and righteousness, so that his words and deeds were a little excessive, but remembering that he was still young, and he had meritorious service, he also asked the emperor to spare the life of the county king." ”
Liu Zhongwu was the first minister in the dynasty to stand beside Zhao Gou, and to everyone's surprise, even Gao Yu looked at Liu Zhongwu with a frown. Liu Zhongwu has always remained neutral, never participated in any factional struggles, and did not want to support any prince, he only had the emperor in his mind, and he didn't care about anything else, and today for Zhao Gou to stand up and speak for him, his behavior is really incomprehensible.
Then, Zong Ze also stood up and asked Song Huizong to forgive Zhao Gou, but Song Huizong remained silent, and his face became more and more gloomy. It wasn't until the Seed Master Dao stood up that Song Huizong's gloomy face retracted. Song Huizong looked at Liu Zhongwu, Zong Ze, and Seed Master Dao with a little deep meaning, and then glanced at the other ministers, all of whom lowered their heads in frustration, not daring to look at Song Huizong.
Seed Master Dao is an old marshal in the army, his disciples are all over the army, and there are also any official positions, and he can be regarded as a general of the older generation, and his words carry much more weight than others. Song Huizong was waiting for this time, and the moment the Seed Master Dao stood up, everyone didn't notice that Song Huizong's face showed a hint of comfort, and his tightly knit brows were quietly relaxed.
Song Huizong looked at everyone begging to spare Zhao Gou's life, smiled and thought; "Gou'er's power has finally begun to form, but I didn't expect that the kind of shuai was also among them, which was really unexpected by me. However, in this way, it is okay, there is a kind of handsome support, and the status of Gou'er in the army is definitely high, even Liu Zhongwu stood up to speak for Gou'er, this neutral position was broken at this moment, presumably it was crying and laughing, all the generals of the Liangshan Army were subdued by Gou'er, so that it was the capital that really began to deal with Gao Yu and others. ”
Song Huizong didn't really want the lives of Song Jiang and the others from beginning to end, but just to test the loyalty of Song Jiang and the others and their brotherhood. In addition, it is to test whether Zhao Gou has the courage to dare to fulfill his promise in front of many ministers regardless of his future and safety, and finally to find out how many people are willing to support Zhao Gou.
"Since you are all interceding for the king of Guangping County, I will open the net, and this matter will be stopped for the time being!" Song Huizong knew that if he wanted to make a play, he would do it seamlessly, so as not to be seen through his thoughts. Song Huizong put aside Zhao Gou's matter, looked at Song Jiang and the others, and said in a deep voice: "As for you, you people ......."
Song Huizong paused for a moment and made a look, and the eunuch beside him immediately stepped forward and shouted in his sharp voice: "Emperor Huizong of the Great Song Dynasty said: The vanguard envoy Song Jiang is crowned as the general of Yunlu, and the pacification envoy of Chuzhou on the Huainan East Road is also the head of the soldiers and horses; Deputy Pioneer Lu Junyi, crowned General Guide, pacification envoy of Luzhou on Huainan West Road and deputy chief of soldiers and horses; Wu Yong, the military advisor, awarded the military to win the army; Guan Sheng was awarded the command of the Daimyo's Mansion and the Zhengma Army; Hu Yanzhuo gave the command of the imperial camp and the horse army......"
This holy decree is not to pull Song Jiang out and behead him, but to reward the official holy decree, and even the dead generals have been rewarded one by one. At this time, the ministers of the DPRK and China were all surprised, all of them widened their eyes, and they couldn't understand Song Huizong's thoughts, Zhao Gou was stunned, and Song Jiang and the others were stupid.
Until the eunuch read out the last word, even the soldiers who died in battle were rewarded, Song Jiang and the others were stunned, they didn't know what trick Song Huizong was playing, and they all raised their heads and looked at Song Huizong like a chicken. If it weren't for Zhao Gou touching Song Jiang, maybe Song Jiang would have forgotten to thank him.
Song Jiang and the others still couldn't believe that this was true, and the holy spirit was in his hands, and he looked at it carefully, and there were Song Huizong's notes and the big seal of the jade seal of the country before he believed that it was true. They really didn't understand what Song Huizong was thinking, they were still angry before, looking like they were killing them, but in a blink of an eye, they became smiling, they didn't look like they were alone, and everyone was dumbfounded and silent.
