Chapter 36: The Past of Guan Yiqi (Fourth Watch)

Li Ce became even more interested when he heard this, it seemed that Guan Yiqi was also a legendary figure before, so he immediately begged Chen Yaozuo: "Then you can talk about it casually, and say whatever you want." ”

Chen Yaozuo smiled: "Okay, I'll tell you, it's just that your master's temper is indeed too stubborn, if you have the chance, you should really persuade him." Alas, he was also affected by this, so he fell to this step of the field, otherwise with his ability, how could he be here. Chen Yaozuo said that later, he couldn't help but sigh a little.

"Yes, when he taught me archery, he often talked about the situation of arranging troops, and it seems that he is also very good at commanding operations, and that insight is not something that a simple captain can have." Li Ce continued.

Chen Yaozuo glanced at Li Ce appreciatively and said: "Boy, you have a good eye, you can still see this, yes, Guan Yiqi is also famous at a young age, in the confrontation between the Great Song Dynasty and Liao, with his amazing archery skills, he repeatedly shot and killed the vanguard of the Liao army, frustrated his spirit, and with his accumulated military merits, he soon rose to the position of the general of Zhuwei, which has an unlimited future, but it is a pity that ......"

"What a pity?" Li Ce guessed that this should be the turning point of Guan Yiqi, and couldn't help but ask a little nervously.

"Alas, more than ten years ago, in a war between the Great Song Dynasty and Liao, Guan Yiqi was the main general, and Wang Lin, the youngest son of the then prime minister Wang Qinruo, was also in the army. Guan Yiqi also knew what he was like, so he didn't send him to lead troops to fight, as long as he was responsible for his own affairs and supervised the transportation of grain and grass in the rear in a timely and safe manner.

But who knows, this Wang Lin is really a bastard, after the start of the war, Guan Yiqi commanded the battle in front, the battle was extremely cruel, the two sides fought fiercely for a day, from morning to evening, each other won and lost, at night, the two sides died down, a temporary truce, Guan Yiqi could see that the rear of the Liao army was not enough supplies, and he planned to come back to rest for a while, and launched an attack in the middle of the night.

However, when he returned to the camp, he found that the rear supplies of his troops had not kept up at all, and this official Yiqi was extremely shocked and annoyed, which disrupted his overall plan, and he hurriedly ordered someone to investigate thoroughly, only to find that Wang Lin, who was in charge of supervising the transportation of grain and grass, had recruited two courtesans to drink and have fun in the tent all day during the day, and he had forgotten to supervise the transportation of grain and grass.

Guan Yiqi ordered someone to strip the drunken Wang Lin naked, tied him to a pillar in front of the big tent, and beat him severely in front of the whole army, beating Wang Lin half to death.

Guan Yiqi wanted to directly remove Wang Lin from his position as the supervisor of grain and grass, but Wang Lin was appointed by the imperial court, and Guan Yiqi had no authority to dismiss him, and his son was the prime minister at the time, and the reason why he sent Wang Lin to the army was because he knew that his son was not a scholar or a martial artist, so he wanted him to mix in the army to earn a little military merit, and he would have some promotion capital in the future. So even if Guan Yiqi went to the court to ask for the removal of Wang Lin, I'm afraid it would not be so easy.

Wang Lin was beaten by Guan Yiqi, the wine had already woken up, at this time the ghost was crying wolf and crying and crying to spare his life, he could see that Guan Yiqi had the heart to kill him, at this time, he couldn't care about any face, or it was important to save his life, and the generals around Guan Yiqi also knew Wang Lin's roots, so he also advised Guan Yiqi to write it down for Wang Lin for the time being, and then make a reckoning in the future. Wang Lin also promised never to do it again in the future, and even swore that he would have to make a military order, but he never thought that Guan Yiqi really wanted him to make a military order, so he was spared.

In fact, the reason why Guan Yiqi beat Wang Lin so ruthlessly that he couldn't get out of bed also had his considerations, so he re-sent a capable general to assist Wang Lin, nominally to assist Wang Lin, in fact, you also know that this Wang Lin can no longer get out of bed, so naturally the matter of supervising the transportation in the rear has fallen on the general who was sent. That Wang Lin has been recuperating with peace of mind, and he can't go out of the door, so he will be safe.

I thought that Wang Lin would take this as a warning and restrain himself, but who knew that what happened later would be even more annoying.

In the next few days, Song Liao has been in a state of confrontation, both sides are seizing the time to rest, in order to have an advantage in the next decisive battle, Guan Yiqi is also focused on the layout of the front line, just when the Song army finished resting and preparing to fight with the Liao army, news came from the rear that Wang Lin had run away, and he had fled back to Beijing.

Wang Lin can run by himself, anyway, he will only add to the chaos here, and he will not be able to help. But who knew that because the general sent by Guan Yiqi prevented him from escaping, he was actually killed by Wang Lin's own house slaves, this general has always been Guan Yiqi's right-hand man, and Guan Yiqi was naturally very angry and heartbroken when he heard it. But Wang Lin had already run away, and now he couldn't catch up, so Guan Yiqi had to suppress this matter for the time being.

On the other hand, Wang Lin fled back to his hometown in Jingshi, and his son Wang Qinruo was already shocked when he saw that his son had run back without permission.

Wang Qinruo knew that his son had committed a capital crime, even if he was the prime minister, he couldn't protect him, so he could only count on Guan Yiqi now, as long as Guan Yiqi didn't say anything about it, he could suppress it secretly. So Wang Qinruo hurriedly repaired a book, and in the letter, he promised Guan Yiqi all kinds of benefits of adding officials to the knighthood, and prepared a heavy gift, and sent people to send Wang Lin back non-stop, Wang Lin was naturally 100,000 unwilling, but Wang Qinruo said that if he didn't go back, he would be beaten to death now, so as not to affect the family from him. Wang Lin had never seen his Lao Tzu so scared, and he panicked at the moment, knowing that he had caused too much trouble this time, so he had to obey his father's orders and rushed back hard.

After this Wang Lin returned to the barracks, someone immediately told Guan Yiqi, who didn't say a word, led the generals to Wang Lin's residence, and without questioning, he directly tied Wang Lin and his four house slaves and escorted them to the school.

Wang Lin saw that Guan Yiqi didn't give him a chance to speak at all, this was a posture to kill himself, he howled and begged Guan Yiqi to let him go, and at the same time raised his father to scare Guan Yiqi.

Some of his soldiers showed the letter that Wang Lin brought back to Guan Yiqi, but he didn't expect Guan Yiqi to tear it up without even looking at it, and then Wang Lin was completely stupid at first glance, it seems that this official Yiqi is determined to kill himself, and he was scared on the spot.

Wang Lin and his house slaves were beheaded. Guan Yiqi took out part of the property that Wang Lin brought back, and comforted the family of the general who was killed by Wang Lin, and the rest was used as military salary, and all the soldiers were convinced.

After the news of Wang Lin's killing was transmitted back to the capital, I heard that Prime Minister Wang Qinruo fell ill all of a sudden, and it took more than half a month before he could get out of bed.

"Oh, there's such a thing." Li Ce took a deep breath, blinked his eyes to digest the information just now, and continued to ask: What about later?

Chen Yaozuo sighed and said, "Later...... Guan Yiqi thus formed a bond with the prime minister, and although he continued to make meritorious contributions, he was constantly reported and exposed by people to expose all kinds of unwarranted problems, so his official position was also reduced again and again, and he was reduced to the point where he is now the commander...... Alas! Speaking of this, Chen Yaozuo shook his head and sighed, and his expression darkened.

Li Ce muttered to himself: "No wonder the master has been unwilling, it turned out that he was deliberately suppressed by the prime minister......" Suddenly he seemed to think of something again, and said loudly: "But can the prime minister cover the sky with one hand?" The emperor should know about this? ”

Chen Yaozuo smiled bitterly: "How can the affairs of the court be as simple as you think, the emperor can't see everything, he can hear everything, to say a big disrespectful word, the emperor can't tell right from wrong, even if he can distinguish right from wrong, many times, for the sake of the court society, he has to make some decisions, alas...... You don't know this yet, I really don't know if it's good or bad for you to tell you this. ”

Li Ce said in his heart: Isn't it the art of the emperor, I have seen this a lot in film and television dramas in later generations.

Li Ce picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Chen Yaozuo, and said: "Actually, you can't blame my master for this, you can only blame that bastard Wang Lin, whoever is out of luck in this matter, I think if you changed to the position of an official teacher at that time, I think you will do the same." ”

"Oh? Is it? Ha ha...... Well, isn't it, I was still acting recklessly in a strange situation, but I never thought that I might be in such a situation, you are right. Chen Yaozuo was stunned for a moment, and then sighed with relief.

Li Ce smiled embarrassedly, what he said just now was direct, it was indeed a little offended, he was used to the equal thinking habits of later generations, at this time he was embarrassed to scratch his head, and his expression was a little guilty.

Chen Yaozuo saw his worries, and said with a smile: I know that you kid is informal, and I am not a stubborn person, let's chat with the master and apprentice, say whatever you want, there is nothing to scruple about, and I also appreciate your true temperament the most.

"That's great, if you're like those old masters in the academy, then I'm miserable, every time I speak, I have to think about the choice of words and sentences, it's really a headache to think about." Li Ce grinned.

"You kid is neither big nor small, that is, you can do this, but you can't do it after you go out, lest people poke me Chen Yaozuo's backbone and say that I can't teach people." Chen Yaozuo scolded with a smile.

"Well, that's a must, I still have that bit of proportion."

"Well, the teacher hasn't tested your knowledge yet, I don't know how your knowledge of poetry and song is?" Chen Yaozuo looked at Li Ce and said with a meaningful smile.

Li Ce was a little embarrassed, what he was most afraid of was that others would test his knowledge, and it would be okay to let his son talk nonsense about the mountains, if he made a serious fuss, such as asking him to write the kind of ancient Chinese that he would learn in high school, it would be really harder than killing him. Especially in front of an old pedant like Chen Yaozuo, there is no way to fool the past.

Chen Yaozuo didn't pay attention to Li Ce's weakness, he smiled and continued: It's just that there are still a lot of official duties to deal with as a teacher today, so I won't take the school exam for the time being, but you can't just relax and waste your studies, don't just focus on practicing martial arts and forget to do your studies.

Li Ceru was amnestied, and when he heard that Chen Yaozuo was not going to take the school exam, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said busily: Naturally not, dropping out of school is like a whetstone, I don't see its loss, and I will lose money every day, I understand this truth, and the apprentice must be both civil and military, so nothing will fall.

"Well, the children are teachable, the children are teachable, haha...... Okay, go ahead, go about your business. Chen Yaozuo listened to Li Ce's return of the crepe to quote a famous sentence of Tao Yuanming's persuasion, and heard Li Ce say that he wanted to achieve both civil and military skills, he felt a little funny but also a little relieved, this answer made him extremely satisfied, so he smiled and waved his hand to let Li Ce leave.
