Chapter 81 A loyal martyr, a descendant of the Yang family
Zhao Gou reported truthfully, without any concealment, Song Huizong seemed to know what it was. Those guards dressed as guards of the Imperial Forest Army, after they came back, played a 1510 story of what happened in the school field, and there was no discrepancy with what Zhao Gou said. Hearing the guard's report, Song Huizong smiled with relief, in a month, Zhao Cheng has grown a lot and understands the methods of officialdom, so he is relieved.
After that, Zhao Gou left. Song Huizong looked at Zhao Gou, who was only twelve years old, it was not easy to do this, his eyes were full of joy, and he was a little helpless, sighed deeply, turned around and returned to his study, and continued to review the chapters.
Song Huizonggui was the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he also knew that the ministers of the court and the central government were deceitful and there were many conspirators, but he did not dare to remove them at one time, let alone blatantly dismiss them from their official positions, and he could not move them with evidence in his hands.
The next day, the ministers entered the main hall from the palace gate, and then Song Huizong walked out with the eunuch in a loud voice, sat on the dragon chair with his head held high, and the majestic voice came into everyone's ears, saying: "Yesterday, what was the result of the martial arts examination?" ”
Zhao Gou came out of the list and said: "Liu Qi won the top prize, it is the champion of today's science and martial arts, the list is won by Yue Fei of Tangyin County, Tanhualang is Yang Yizhong, and the others have given the Jinshi background, and the sons have already registered and made a register, please take a look at the emperor!" ”
"Bring it on!"
Song Huizong ordered the eunuch beside him to submit the documents, and then read them carefully, and nodded, which clearly indicated where he came from, who was in the family, and who was defeated in the next round, etc., at a glance. It was not the first time Zhao Ji had seen Zhao Gou's calligraphy, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help but think smugly: "He is worthy of being my son, he is really a civil and military all-rounder!" ”
If the ministers of the DPRK and China knew that Song Huizong looked at the roster and looked at what Zhao Gou wrote himself, he couldn't help but praise his son, maybe there would be another debate.
"Message: Xuan Liu Qi, Yue Fei, and Yang Yizhong will meet with them!" Song Huizong put away the roster, announced his will, and remembered that Yue Fei was Zhao Gou's senior brother, and he was still shooting Xiaoliang Wang on the school ground, and secretly thought: "Since he is a disciple of Mr. Zhou, he must also have something extraordinary, wait for me to observe it carefully." ”
"Xuan: Liu Qi, Yue Fei, and Yang Yizhong are here!"
As the eunuch beside Song Huizong shouted, Liu Qi, Yue Fei, and Yang Yizhong came to their knees, and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"Flat!" Song Huizong glanced at the three of them and asked, "Who is Liu Qi?" ”
Liu Qi came out of the ranks, bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, the grass people are!" ”
"Your father is Liu Zhongwu?" Song Huizong looked at Liu Qi with a smile and asked softly.
Liu Qi replied: "Back to the emperor, my father is Liu Zhongwu!" ”
"It's really a tiger father without a dog!" Song Huizong praised, and looked to the other side, "Liu Aiqing, you really gave birth to a good son!" ”
Everyone looked at the other person in unison, Liu Zhongwu was the envoy of the Luchuan Army, and his official residence was from the second rank, ranking in the court. The martial arts examination was a major event in the Great Song Dynasty, so officials above the fourth rank gathered. Officials who are outside the country or in Beijing must all participate in the palace examination.
The father and son were officials in the same dynasty, and there was a precedent in the Great Song Dynasty, and even in the previous dynasty. It's just that the father is a second-class member of the dynasty, and the son is the current martial champion, which is also the first precedent in the Great Song Dynasty. At this time, Liu Zhongwu barely showed a smile in the face of Song Huizong's praise.
At the beginning, Liu Qi wanted to participate in the martial arts examination, but Liu Zhongwu resolutely opposed it, and sent him back to his hometown to prevent Liu Qi from secretly participating in it. Liu Zhongwu didn't expect this son to be bold, so he secretly participated in the martial arts exam, and even won the championship in one fell swoop. Although the champion can be regarded as a glorious ancestor, he is worried that some people in the court will secretly make stumbling blocks, and he is also worried in his heart. After all, among the many heirs, Liu Zhongwu's favorite is Liu Qi. Now that Liu Qi has won the martial arts champion, Liu Zhongwu's heart is also full of mixed tastes, not just joy or worry.
"Who is Yue Fei?" Song Huizong asked again.
Yue Fei stepped out of the ranks, bowed down and replied: "Back to the emperor, the grass people are!" ”
Song Huizong looked up and down, and saw that he was dignified and well-dressed, nodded appreciatively, and said, "You are Mr. Zhou's disciple?" ”
Yue Fei was taken aback, he never thought that the emperor would know his master's name, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, the grass people are exactly!" ”
"Mr. Zhou was originally the head of the forbidden army, and he resigned to return to his hometown, but he accepted such a disciple as you, which can be regarded as a knowledge!" Song Huizong smiled slightly and said, "I hope that you can serve the Great Song Dynasty in the future, just like your master, be loyal to your duties, and become a pillar of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
"Where is Yang Yizhong?"
Yang Yi came out of the ranks and replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the grass people are here!" ”
This time, Song Huizong stood up from the dragon chair and then walked down the stairs. Everyone was surprised, even Zhao Gou and the others were a little surprised. For Yang Yizhong, Zhao Gou only knew that his father was Yang Zhen, who was also a military general in the court, and he could be regarded as the son of a general, who was born in Yuanping, Shanxi, but he didn't know why his father got up from the dragon chair.
Yang Yizhong saw Song Huizong standing up and walking towards him, full of doubts. I saw Song Huizong personally help Yang Yizhong up, and said softly: "You are the son of Yang Zhen, then your grandfather is Yang Zongmin?" I don't know if General Yang is in good health? ”
"Back to the emperor, grandpa's health is still good!" Yang Yizhong replied respectfully.
Song Huizong glanced at the three of them and sighed, "Yesterday, Lao Jiu handed over the roster of you and others, and I felt curious, only your father's name and place of birth. When I saw your name, I knew that you were the grandson of Yang Zongmin, and I didn't know if you were a child? ”
Yang Yizhong was flattered and said; "Back to the emperor, the grass people never remembered!"
Song Huizong didn't blame him, but nodded and said, "That's right, at that time, you were only about two years old, and you were still babbling and learning to walk, how can you remember." I didn't expect it to be more than ten years in a flash, if I hadn't seen your name, I wouldn't have remembered it! ”
"Rushan Xiyuan Pingren, the word is Zhengfu, I am right?"
Yang Yizhong was surprised: "Your Majesty, how do you know?" ”
At the beginning, when participating in the martial arts examination, Yang Yizhong did not use his own words, but just said his name. Therefore, even Zhao Gou didn't know his words. However, he couldn't figure out how Song Huizong knew, and the ministers of the court and the central government were dumbfounded, looking at Song Huizong with wide eyes, and didn't understand why he attached so much importance to Yang Yizhong, he was just a tanhualang.
"For thy word was taken by me myself!"
Song Huizong's words were amazing, Yue Fei and Liu Qi, who were standing beside him, were even more wide-eyed, looking incredulous, Yang Yizhong was also stupid, he couldn't figure out how his words could be given by the emperor today, and after thinking about it, he still didn't remember that he had met the emperor.
"Back then, not long after I ascended the throne as emperor, I inspected various places and went to Jingzhao Mansion. At that time, your grandfather was the head of the Yongxing Military Road, and he accompanied me. If it weren't for your grandfather and father's desperate fight to break out of the encirclement, my life would have been lost in Jingzhao Mansion. At that time, I somehow leaked the news, and the Western Xia army came and almost died in Jingzhao Mansion. ”
"The Western Xia army sent a large army to invade Jingzhao Mansion, and your grandfather and father led the troops to the battle, and they fought desperately to defend it along the way, so they were able to break out of the siege. However, your grandfather and father were seriously injured and spent months recuperating at home before recovering. At that time, I saw you in the house. Now, do you ever think about it? ”
After Song Huizong's nudge, Yang Yizhong remembered that when he was a child, there was an Uncle Zhao who taught him to read and learn characters. Moreover, the man never said his name, only let himself call Uncle Zhao, and even his grandfather and father were shocked when they heard it, and they were almost beaten by their own father because of this incident, and said in surprise; "Your Majesty, are you Uncle Zhao?"
"Uncle?" Zhao Gou, Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others broke out in a cold sweat, their eyes widened incredibly, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were even more shocked. However, there are also some old ministers in the court who already know why Song Huizong attaches so much importance to Yang Yizhong, just because his identity is deeper than Liu Qi, and he is a real general.
Liu Zhongwu, Zong Ze and the others suddenly realized, and the doubts on their faces disappeared, followed by a face full of respect and solemnity, thinking: "I see, no wonder the emperor attaches so much importance to him!" ”
"Haha! ......" Song Huizong not only did not get angry, but laughed out loud and said, "It seems that you remember!" ”
Yang Yizhong smiled and scratched his head in embarrassment, he also involuntarily shouted according to his childhood memories. If someone else called Song Huizong like this, it must be a great crime of disrespect. However, Yang Yizhong called him like this, not only did he not have any punishment, but it reminded Song Huizong of the past.
Zhao Gou stood out and asked curiously: "Father, ...... you?"
Song Huizong saw that Zhao Gou was a little curious, and then looked at the surprised eyes of the ministers of the court, and said solemnly: "My life was saved by his grandfather and father. Just because their family has dedicated their lives to the Great Song Dynasty, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, they have followed Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong to fight in the south and north, and no one in the dynasty can compare with them. ”
"It is no exaggeration to say that if they hadn't guarded the border, those who were eyeing the Song Dynasty would have gone south long ago. A loyal martyr, worthy of his heart, dedicated to his duties, loyal, and made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, he should be the first in the Yang family! ”
Zhao Gou was taken aback, hurriedly turned to look at Yang Yizhong, his eyes widened, and muttered, "Could it be that Yang Yizhong is a descendant of the Yang family?" ”
The story of the Yang family has long been heard, there are famous generals in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou is already familiar with it, and he remembers that Yang Yizhong's surname is "Yang", and he is a native of Shanxi, and he also uses a spear. However, he never thought that Yang Yizhong would be the descendant of the Yang family. In the previous battle, Yang Yizhong had never used the Yang family's marksmanship, so that Zhao Gou thought that Yang Yizhong was also among the generals, and he was not much different from Liu Qi.
Now I know that Liu Qi can be regarded as a general, and compared with Yang Yizhong, it is indeed far from it. The Yang family has been loyal to the Song Dynasty since Yang Linggong, and has been sticking to the border for several generations, which can be called "a loyal martyr". However, Zhao Gou was still a little puzzled, and thought secretly: "Didn't the biography say that the Yang family was killed and wounded in the Battle of Golden Beach, leaving only one son, and the other sons had no heirs to pass down, otherwise why would the daughter of the Yang family go on the expedition, not the Yang family's son, is it different from the historical record?" ”。”
