Chapter 576: Meritorious Shock
Mobile reading
"Emperor Qiyu, the King of Guangping County and the Generalissimo of Pingliao and His Royal Highness the King of Chu have arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, and they will arrive in Bianjing City in a few days!"
Song Huizong nodded happily and said, "Finally back!" It's back! It's back! ……”
Song Huizong said several 'good backs' in a row, which shows his expectations for Zhao Gou's return to Beijing, as well as his worries when Zhao Gou left the capital. For the sake of the Great Song Empire, for the sake of the Jiangshan Sheji and the people of Limin, Song Huizong had to agree that Zhao Gou would go to the front line and fight on the battlefield.
If he could, he was not willing to let Zhao Gou fall into it, but the greater Zhao Gou's ability, the greater the responsibility. In order to make Zhao Cheng grow and Jiangshan Sheji, Song Huizong had to do this. Being far away in Bianjing City, he could only give Zhao Gou assistance.
Zhao Gou's success made him unexpected, but he was overjoyed. Because it only took Zhao Gou one year to recover the important barrier of the sixteen states of Yanyun, with these sixteen states, the Great Song Dynasty was more stable, and Liao had perished, this was what he thought.
In addition, Zhao Gou also let those generals who surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, as well as Ye Luchun, the king of Yan of Liao, Xiao Puxiannu, the princess of Yan, and others. After all, they surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Gou was only a generalissimo, not a prince or an emperor, so they had to get the nod of Song Huizong.
As for whether the result is good or bad, Zhao Gou cannot guarantee it, and everything is subject to Song Huizong's decision.
Song Huizong received the good news of Zhao Gou's successive victories on the front line, which made him very relieved and still a little worried. Zhao Gou is only about fifteen years old, but he has taken on such a big responsibility. If it weren't for the dynasty but there was no such person to take on this great responsibility, Song Huizong really wouldn't have let Zhao Gou go.
Zhao Gou captured the city in a row, and rarely failed, such a meritorious feat was outstanding, and no one in the entire Great Song Dynasty could beat it. Even if Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong did not fulfill their wishes, Zhao Gou did it, and he did it well, such a feat was enough to make him famous in history, but it also left hidden dangers.
Song Huizong has been planning to welcome Zhao Gou and others to return triumphantly these days, and when he heard the news that Zhao Gou was going to come back, he once again sent a decree to let all the military officials in the capital, up to the first-class officials, and down to the people of Limin, all go out of the city to greet them.
In addition, Song Huizong also arranged music to welcome Zhao Gou and others with the song of 'Triumph', and when everything was ready, Zhao Gou returned to Beijing.
At the same time, Zhao Gou and the others, who were in the Daimyo's Mansion, did not continue to hurry in a hurry, but arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion It was already dark, so they rested in the Daimyo's Mansion. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty decreed that when Zhao Gou and his entourage returned to Beijing, they would be treated with the highest standard of treatment wherever they went, and there should be no slackness.
Therefore, on the way back to Beijing, all the people, officials, squires and others went out of the city to greet him. At the beginning, when he encountered such a situation for the first time, Zhao Gou was still startled and almost didn't cause a big war. Because his subordinates are all generals, they have never enjoyed such treatment, and they didn't think of it at all, so they thought they were bandits and drew their swords against each other.
If it weren't for the explanation of the prefecture officials, I am afraid it would have caused a lot of misunderstandings. Even veterans such as Seed Master Dao and Zong Ze felt that they had been valued as military generals for the first time in their lives. Because the Song Dynasty was a country that repressed martial arts, how much credit the generals had made, they had never had any courtesy, and after Zhao Gou achieved great success, everyone followed behind him.
Now they really feel that their status in the Great Song Dynasty was much better in the past, and it was not these generals who were respected wherever they went before, but those officials. Even if it is a third-grade officer, and a general, it is also a third-rank member who is more welcomed and respected by the squires and magistrates.
This kind of treatment is respect once or twice, and the same thing is carried out again and again, not to mention that Zhao Gou is tired of it, and even the old man, Zong Shuai and others can't stand it. Because after each greeting, you have to go to a banquet with everyone, which is simply a party.
They are generals who are charging into battle, and they are tired of dealing with these officialdoms, especially the appearance of those people nodding and bowing, which really makes them unbearable, it is too hypocritical. So, after discussion, everyone decided to take a detour, but Zhao Yougong, Wu Yong, Chongshi Dao, Zong Ze and others strongly objected.
Because this is a kind of non-existent Guan Rong, even if it is no longer acceptable, it has to be accepted, this is the emperor's own holy decree, as a courtier must accept. If it were other generals, maybe this would be very useful, but what Zhao Gou didn't like the most was this set of behavior, so he had no choice but to continue to accept such respect.
"Ninth brother, aren't you really worried?"
Zhao Gou smiled and said, "What's there to worry about?" ”
"Ninth brother, do you know that you have committed a taboo now!" Zhao Yougong said with a solemn face, "Although the emperor may not have any suspicions, but the military exploits you have achieved have far exceeded those of the previous emperors, and even those famous marshals can't be compared, if this continues, I am afraid it will cause greater danger." ”
Zhao Gou replied: "Second brother, don't worry, this thing won't happen to me." Even if my father really had such thoughts, then I would not have any resistance. However, this matter must be dealt with after the threat of the Jin Kingdom. ”
Zhao Yougong shook his head and said, "With the emperor's favor in you, I believe that you will not have anything." However, there are others who will take advantage of this opportunity. After all, the rules set by Emperor Taizu must not be disobeyed even by the emperor. ”
Zhao Gou smiled faintly: "If it's him, even if you really want to do it, you have to weigh it." If it endangers the Great Song Dynasty, what if he ascends the throne as emperor? For the throne, to be honest, I really don't value it, as long as the people of the world live a rich life, I will live the life I want to live freely, that is the greatest joy of life. ”
"Even if you think so, what should the brothers who follow you do?" Zhao Yougong threw out a question that was difficult for Zhao Gou to answer, which made him still firm in his free life, and the whole person was stunned, because he didn't know how to answer.
Zhao Gou really has little interest in the throne, everything he does just wants to make the Great Song Dynasty richer and stronger. As for who the emperor is, it has nothing to do with him. Now that he is strong enough, even if Zhao Huan ascended the throne as the emperor, he didn't dare to do anything to Zhao Gou, but the generals who followed Zhao Gou's side, such as: Yue Fei, Gao Zhong and others.
As long as Zhao Goushou has no rights, then they will be squeezed out, and they are afraid that it will happen to destroy the city wall again. This is something that Zhao Gou does not want to see, if he loses these generals who can fight well, the Great Song Dynasty is rich and strong, and if he really fights, I am afraid that he will not need to see it, and he will have no combat effectiveness.
If that time really comes, what should Zhao Gou do? Can he really stay out of it and be at ease? Can he really watch his brother, who followed him from birth to death, die under the scheme? Zhao Gou asked himself many times, and the answer was still the same, that is, it was impossible to let such a thing happen, and it was absolutely not allowed to see Da Song weaken again.
