Chapter 355: Appeasing Liu Guangshi
In the fourth year of Jianyan, that is, in June 1130, Zhao Gou abolished the post of imperial envoy, and Liu Guangshi's department had nothing to subordinate. As a result www.biquge.info Zhao set up the Imperial Patrol Army, appointed Liu Guangshi as the commander of the capital, and concurrently served as the pacification envoy of the two Zhejiang roads and the Zhizhenjiang Mansion, and added the opening of the palace and the three divisions as the envoys.
Then Li Cheng rebelled, and Zhao Gou ordered Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, and Liu Guangshi to attack Li Cheng together. However, Liu Guangshi only sent his subordinates Wang De and Con Qiong to lead a small number of troops to attack and harass, and the army did not start.
Due to Liu Guangshi's meritorious service in resisting gold, holding military power, coupled with internal and external troubles, he had to fight again. Zhao Gou endured with one eye open and one eye closed and did not punish Liu Guangshi.
And just this year, Zhao Gou moved back to Lin'an, and ordered Liu Guangshi to be the Xuanfu envoy of Huainan and Jingdong Road, and placed in Yangzhou. But Liu Guangshi didn't listen to him, and he didn't give Zhao Gou any face.
This made Zhao Gou very annoyed, if the country was peaceful, he would have dismissed Liu Guangshi and demoted him and exiled him for thousands of miles. But at this time, no. First, Liu Guangshi is indeed a rare general, especially after Yue Fei left, Liu Guangshi is even more expensive. Second, Liu Guangshi has heavy troops, and his troops are more than Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong combined.
For such a person, Zhao Gou couldn't bear to kill him, and he couldn't kill him, of course, if Liu Guangshi really threatened his throne one day, it would be another matter.
This time he summoned Liu Guangshi, and Zhao Gou was observing it first. If it can be used, it is naturally the best, but if it can't be used, he will also be ruthless and kill the killer.
Liu Guangshi acted quickly this time, and after resisting the disrespect, he also realized the seriousness of the problem. Although Zhao Gou didn't have anything, he knew that if he didn't do something quickly, he was afraid that his head would be lost. Therefore, after receiving Zhao Gou's will, Liu Guangshi set off overnight and went straight to Lin'an.
After arriving in Lin'an, Liu Guangshi did not stop at all and went straight to the palace.
Knowing that Liu Guangshi had arrived and had come so quickly, Zhao Gou pondered for a while before letting Gong Li pass Liu Guangshi into the palace.
。 This time, Zhao Gou chose to meet Liu Guangshi in the Imperial Garden.
As soon as he entered the Imperial Garden, Liu Guangshi was stupid. Because there were no guards in the imperial garden, except for Gonggong Li who led the way in front, not a single soldier, palace maid, or eunuch could not be seen.
"Grandpa Li! This ......" Liu Guangshi was a little confused.
"Your Majesty is ahead." Gonggong Li pointed forward.
When the time was not to fight, by a lotus pond, Liu Guangshi saw Zhao Gou. At this moment, Zhao Gou was holding his hands behind his back and looking at the lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond.
"Minister Liu Guangshi to see Your Majesty." Liu Guangshi knelt down and saluted from afar.
"Liu Aiqing has arrived!" Zhao Gou turned around, raised his hand, and said. "Come on, come and see the lotus flowers."
Zhao Gou said, and beckoned.
Liu Guangshi didn't know what Zhao Gou wanted to do, and his heart was full of anxiety.
He took small steps forward, his eyes scanning his surroundings from time to time. It was quiet and there were no visions.
"Liu Aiqing, I recruited you this time to discuss something with you." After Liu Guangshi came to his side, Zhao Gou said with a smile.
This time, Liu Guangshi was really scared. The emperor wants to discuss things with you, is that negotiable? How can a courtier discuss things with the emperor. The emperor is always on top, what he wants to do, in a word. Discussion, isn't this nonsense!
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty......" Liu Guangshi knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Hey~!" Zhao Shuo held Liu Guangshi. "I haven't said anything yet, what a crime Liu Aiqing has."
Liu Guangshi looked at Zhao Gou, and the whole person was not good. In his opinion, Zhao Gou was going to punish him for his crimes. As for the reason, he did not do his best to recruit Li Cheng, and he refused to accept the order last time he was transferred to his position. First, the crime of dereliction of duty is not a problem of dismissal and exile. Second, it is not an exaggeration to punish the nine clans for a major crime.
He has always felt that he has made meritorious contributions to resisting gold and is a hero of the Southern Song Dynasty. In the past, Yue Fei was here, and he didn't dare to let it go too much, after all, the credit and fame of the Yue family army were there. He Liu Guangshi can't compare. But now that Yue Fei has returned to Zhao Shuo, Liu Guangshi feels that the world of the Great Song Dynasty has to rely on him to maintain.
As soon as this thought came to him, he swelled. In addition, Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong did not have many troops in their hands, which made him even more unscrupulous.
For the Great Song Dynasty, he was loyal, but his desire for power also reached its peak.
He liked to be called his army 'Taiwei Army', which made him appear to have status, but Zhao Gou removed the title and arranged a new official position for him. And Zhao Gou's transfer, in his opinion, is Zhao Gou's distrust of him and is cutting his power, so he silently chose to resist.
Now Zhao Gou summoned him, apparently because of these things. And Zhao Gou didn't tell it, it is likely that he really gave him a chance to atone for his sins.
Thinking of this, Liu Guangshi spoke. "The minister's ineffective conquest of Li Cheng, and because he was busy with official affairs, he refused to accept the holy decree, which is a big sin. The minister wanted to come and ask for guilt many times, but without His Majesty's will, the minister did not dare to come rashly. This time, His Majesty summoned the minister, and the minister was ready to die......"
"Oops!" Before Liu Guangshi's words were finished, Zhao Gou spoke. "Liu Aiqing thinks too much, thinks too much."
Zhao Gou helped Liu Guangshi up. "Liu Aiqing is an important minister of the country, and the reason why he is not effective in the conquest of Li Cheng is because he has just experienced the anti-Jin war, and the soldiers need to rest. According to the edict, there is no matter, I heard that it was the eunuch who passed the decree and did not find Liu Aiqing. Liu Aiqing has always attached great importance to state affairs, and he must have been working for state affairs at that time. I have already dealt with the eunuch who passed the decree, so Liu Aiqing should not be angry. ”
Zhao Gou found a reason for Liu Guangshi, and instead of calling himself 'I', he called 'I'. You know, 'I' is the emperor's self-addressed address in public, while 'I' is a private address.
Under the court, between Zhao Gou and his courtiers, Zhao Gou generally calls himself 'I', which seems to have a harmonious relationship with his courtiers.
Therefore, when Zhao Gou started, he called himself 'I', which really scared Liu Guangshi. And now, Zhao Gou has changed his self-title, so to speak, he forgave Liu Guangshi from the heart.
Knowing this, Liu Guangshi was like being amnestied. "Thank you, Your Majesty, no, thank you."
Since Zhao Gou calls himself 'me'. Liu Guangshi naturally has to change his name for Zhao Gou, so that he can get closer to each other.
"Liu Aiqing, I came to you this time, I actually wanted to tell you something...... Liu Guangshi could already rest assured, at this time, Zhao Gou said the reason for summoning Liu Guangshi to come.
