Chapter 214: The Return (2)

It's just that Li Fu's experience along the way is too twists and turns, full of stories, and everyone, including Zhao Guangyi, is nervous to listen to it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When Li Fu said that the Liao soldiers chased to the small mountain village, even Zhao Guangyi became nervous and hurriedly asked what happened next.

Li Fu then talked about Zhao Gu's suggestion that Li Fu take the national letter and go first, and lead the Liao soldiers away by himself.

Only then did the officials know that it was not Zhao Gu who abandoned Li Fu and left, in order to protect Li Fu and the national letter, he led people to lead away the Liao soldiers!

At this moment, many people looked at Zhao Gu with admiration on their faces, and of course many people began to sweat on their foreheads, such as the group of officials who wantonly attacked Zhao Gu at the beginning.

Li Fu continued to speak, and everyone continued to listen, and soon he talked about the section of the small valley and Zhushan.

As he spoke, Li Fu burst into tears again, and above the banquet, he was the only one crying.

The ministers were moved, and Li Fu's narration made them feel like they were on the spot, as if they saw the big knife of the Liao soldiers, as if they saw the heads of the villagers in the small mountain village rolling off.

At this moment, a discordant voice rang out'.

"Master Li Fu, if you say something about the small valley, I will believe it, but what about the bamboo mountain? You've followed, too? ā€

The person who spoke was also a civil official, and strictly speaking, he was a speech official.

This official did not have any outstanding political achievements, on the contrary, his official reputation was very bad.

On weekdays, this person takes pleasure in exposing his shortcomings, from the official evaluation of each official's political performance and official evaluation, to the number of daughters-in-law they marry, and any friends they have on weekdays, he will use them as a weapon to criticize these officials.

Every year, there are more than a dozen officials who are demoted or directly dismissed because of his attacks, so few people in the officialdom dare to offend him on weekdays.

It is also worth mentioning that he and Li Fu are both officials, but in the original competition for the position of Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, they lost to Li Fu, so he has always been resentful of Li Fu.

Hearing this person speak, the officials present all showed their thoughts.

Yes, after Li Fu and Han Derang encountered, they went in the opposite direction, how could they know what was going on Zhushan?

Could it be that Li Fu and they deliberately said this in order to invite merit?

But most people still believe in Li Fu, not to mention that he is a rare Qing official with a good reputation, even if he really lies, are the junior people who are with him lying?

Li Fu was about to explain, but Zhao Guangyi suddenly interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"I don't need to explain Aiqing, I believe you."

As he spoke, Zhao Guangyi suddenly stared at the official: "Gong Zhang, you don't have to talk nonsense on weekdays, for the sake of you being an official, I don't care about you, but today's words and deeds are not what a speaker should have at all." How? Li Fu didn't see it at the scene, did you see it at the scene? ā€

Zhang Gong shook his head calmly, not frightened by Zhao Guangyi, and said: "The minister didn't see it, but the minister is an official and has the right to play the news, not to mention ......." ā€

Zhao Guangyi directly interrupted him and said coldly: "Yes, if the official has heard about something, he has the right to play, but have you heard about it now?" Could it be that slandering court officials based on speculation is also what officials should do? ā€

"It's ......."

Zhao Guangyi waved his hand: "Needless to say, Zhang Gong, as a speech official, is jealous of his ability, but he is unclear but he is rumored, and now he will degrade you to Lezhou to be the magistrate, and you will stay there for the rest of your life." ā€

"Don't!" When Zhang Gong heard this, he was almost paralyzed with fright on the spot, and wailed.

Zhao Guangyi didn't care about this, fully showed the prestige of a generation of kings, waved his hand, and ordered people to get out of the Zhang Palace like a dead dog.

Then, Zhao Guangyi's soft gaze turned to Li Fu again and asked, "What about after that?" How did you get out of Han Derang's pursuit? ā€

Li Fu smiled: "Actually, what Zhang Gong said is not bad, the minister really didn't see that scene with his own eyes, but the guard Xiaoyi sent by the emperor to me and Lord Zhao once caught a Liao soldier, and the Liao soldier participated in the Zhushan massacre, and the minister listened to him." ā€

Zhao Guangyi shook his head absently, and Li Fu had to continue to answer: "After that, Han Derang completely lost our trace, and it was not until we were about to leave the Liao Kingdom that he found us again, but for some reason, he did not continue to pursue us later, but left in a hurry with his soldiers. ā€

Zhao Guangyi laughed when he heard this, glanced at Zhao Gu, and said to Li Fu: "You have to thank Zhao Gu for this, as soon as he returned to China, he sent me a letter, asking the imperial court to Chen Bing on the border of Song and Liao, and the Empress Dowager Xiao panicked when she learned the news, and hurriedly ordered Han De to let the troops retreat." ā€

Li Fu suddenly realized, hugged his fist at Zhao Gu and said, "Old man, thank you Lord Hou for saving his life." ā€

The other ministers also looked at Zhao Gu, and many of them had a sparkle in their eyes.

Zhao Gu calmly returned the salute: "Lord Li is polite, you and I both work for the Great Song Dynasty, and everything we should do." ā€

"Okay, that's right." Zhao Guangyi sat on the dragon chair and smiled.

"Come on, proclaim the decree." Zhao Guangyi said again.

Hearing that there was a will, the ministers hurriedly stood up and bowed down to listen to the order, and many people's ears were raised high, for fear of missing half a word.

This is often the case above the court, the emperor's will determines the direction of the wind in the court, and the ministers naturally have to understand it.

A large eunuch stepped forward, took out the decree and read it.

"Zili is good for the people, happy for the poor, and the holy monarch is also good."

"Liao and Song have been hostile for many years, repeatedly violating the border, and Cheng is also a disaster for the Great Song Dynasty, and now Li Fu and Zhao Gu sent envoys to the Liao State, trekking for several months, risking their lives, and finally took the Song Liao State Book, showing the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, and severely frustrating the spirit of the Liao State."

"The two are now rewarded as follows: the right counselor, the governor of Kaifeng Mansion Yin Li Fu, hard work, sent an envoy to the Liao State, risked his life, protected the national letter, and made great contributions, and now he is crowned as a scholar of Guanwen Pavilion University, a young prince and a young master, and gave a thousand copper coins and a thousand silk horses."

"The founding of Zhuozhou County Hou Zhao Gu, courage, resourcefulness, strength to stabilize the situation of the Liao State, to ensure the stability of the border of the Song Dynasty, to sign the letter of state, and the country to accommodate Yan, in the face of the pursuit of killing, calmly, to set an example as bait, strong and strong, now add Zhao Gu as a scholar of Guanwen Pavilion University, Longtuge University Scholar, and give copper money thousands, silk horses."

After the eunuch finished reading, Zhao Gu and Li Fu thanked him, and Zhao Guangyi then smiled and said: "You two have just come back, so you will recuperate at home, and then come to work when you are full of energy, and I will find someone to do it for you." ā€

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Gu and Li Fu thanked again.
