Chapter 17: The Secret Edict of the Wax Pill
Zhao Gou, Zong Ze, and Wang Boyan walked quickly into the hall of the Zhizhou Mansion. When the officials in the governor's mansion saw them, they immediately shouted, "The generalissimo has arrived!" ”
The man who was originally reclining on the chair with a bandage on his head stood up tremblingly, and saluted in fear, "Xuanhuamen Divine Arm Archer, Lei Zai, meet the Generalissimo." ”
This secret envoy was completely different from what Zhao Gou imagined, he originally thought that the secret envoy sent by the emperor would be a young man with a graceful demeanor, even if he was not a majestic official, but as a result, Song Qinzong actually only sent a soldier out, and this soldier was also injured. Zhao Gou understood, this soldier meant that Bianliang City had been surrounded by the Jin people, and if it wanted to send news out, it had to rely on death squads to break through. This wounded soldier came out of the fight.
In fact, from Zhao Gou's point of view, he didn't care much about the life or death of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong. First of all, he is a time-traveler, and he has no impression of these two so-called fathers and brothers, and naturally has no feelings; Secondly, although he also felt sorry for the shame of Jingkang when he read history books in modern times, but now it is different, only when Huizong Qinzong was taken away by the Jin people, he can become the emperor himself and have his own world. Therefore, he has always had a non-caring attitude towards the battle situation in Bianliang, and he is concerned, and he also hopes that Jin Ren will start as soon as possible, so that he can ascend the throne as emperor as soon as possible. But at this time, he saw that the soldiers of his country were scarred, the capital of his country was surrounded by the Jin, and there was even a possibility of a massacre of the city. Zhao Gou's heart suddenly tightened, he was still worried about Tokyo Bianliang.
Zhao Gou rubbed his temples, and in order to keep calm, he took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "How is the imperial brother?" What about his holy will? ”
I saw Qin Zai take out a small gold box from his arms, open it respectfully, and put a wax pill with a diameter of less than two inches inside. As soon as he saw the wax pill, Zong Ze immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Weichen Zong Ze, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”
Zhao Gou and Wang Boyan heard Zong Ze say this, and they also understood, and then knelt down, kowtowed, and said the same in their mouths, "Minister Zhao Gou, Wang Boyan, knock to see Your Majesty." ”
Qin Zai opened the wax pill, took out a small note from it, and began to read Song Qinzong's will according to the small note. Qin Zai is an ordinary gatekeeper, although the Song Dynasty was prosperous and developed, and the cultural level of the Song people was generally not bad, but at this time, I am afraid that it was the first time he had such close contact with so many big officials, so he still looked very nervous. With trembling hands, he stammered as he read Song Qinzong's wax pill secret edict, which probably means: The Jin people treacherously trapped me and Emperor Daojun in the capital again. In order to save the decline of the world, Zhao Gou, King Kang, is now appointed as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, commanding Hebei and even the world's soldiers and horses. Ordered Zhao Gou to lead the army to King Qin as soon as possible and drive out the Jin people.
Qin Zai shed tears while reading; And Zong Ze knelt behind Zhao Gou, listening to the gentle sobbing, it seemed that he was also crying, and when Qin Zai finished reading "Qin this", with tears in his eyes, he handed the note to Zhao Gou. Zong Ze kowtowed and said, "The king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the king is humiliated by the death!" After saying that, he immediately burst into tears.
Zhao Gou sighed, and said in his heart, Old General Zongze, where is it now, there will be you crying in the future, and it will be possible to cry every day when the time comes.
He thought about this as he opened the note. Seeing Song Qinzong's note, Zhao Gou's first thought was, oh, it turns out that the thin gold body looks like this, thin and strong, and it looks good. may be to please the emperor's father, Song Huizong's sons all practice hard and thin gold body, and Song Qinzong's qualifications in calligraphy and painting are not bad, so although it is not as good as Zhao Kai's writing, it can be regarded as a good writing. It's a pity that although his artistic level is high, he is not a qualified emperor.
Zhao Gou put the note back into the wax pill, put it in the gold box, and put it in his arms, and then, learning from the appearance of loyal ministers on TV, arched his hand to the sky and said, "Brother Zhao Gou takes the order!" After saying this, Zhao Gou stood up, helped Zong Ze again, patted his hand, and comforted, "The old general should not be too sad, at this time, turning the humiliation of the ministers into strength, and working hard to form the Qinwang Volunteer Army, is the way to save the country." ”
Zong Ze didn't say anything, Wang Boyan, who was kneeling on the other side of Zhao Gou, stood up by himself, he turned to Zhao Gou, and arched his hand, "Generalissimo, my subordinates want to ask Qin Zai a few questions." ”
Zhao Gou walked to the head of the Zhizhou Mansion and sat down, nodded to Wang Boyan, and motioned for him to ask casually.
I only heard Wang Boyan say, "How did you know that the generalissimo was in Cizhou?" ”
Qin Zai was stunned for a moment, looking even more nervous, and said, "Yes, it was the chief who informed his subordinates." ”
Zhao Gou already understood what Wang Boyan meant, so when he heard Qin Zai's answer, he couldn't help frowning. I only heard Wang Boyan ask again, "Then how many people are in your death squad, and does everyone know that the generalissimo is in Cizhou?" ”
Qin Zai nodded and replied, "Yes." ”
Hearing this, Wang Boyan sighed, and said to Zhao Gou, "Generalissimo, I'm afraid the Jin people already know that you are in Cizhou." The subordinates implore the generalissimo to move to Xiangzhou! With that, he knelt down again and bowed his head.
Seeing Wang Boyan like this, Zhao Gou was very conflicted in his heart. In fact, he now agrees with Wang Boyan's opinion that at this time, Cizhou is relatively dangerous, and it is likely to be the target of the Jin people after the shame of Jingkang. However, Wang Boyan is a ...... After all, Zong Ze is a great loyal minister, Wang Boyan is a great traitor, and he will leave the place of the loyal minister to join the traitor if his brain is not normal, right?! Zhao Gou frowned and looked at Wang Boyan, and began to think about how to push this matter away.
Who knew that Zong Ze suddenly said, "Lord Wang is reasonable, Generalissimo, you really want Cizhou!" ”
What? Zong Ze also persuaded Marshal Ben to leave Cizhou!? Zhao Gou listened to Zong Ze's words, he was really stunned, and only listened to Zong Ze said, "Today, there are often Jin cavalry staying in Cizhou. Now, the generalissimo has exterminated another group of Jin scouts, and I am afraid that a large number of Jin people will come back to Cizhou to seek revenge. Generalissimo, you must no longer linger in Cizhou! After speaking, Zong Ze sighed again and said, "Generalissimo, Weichen is worried that you will be the main target of the Jin people in the future, so even if you arrive in Xiangzhou, you can't stay for a long time." ”
Zhao Gou raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that Zong Ze deserved to be a famous anti-gold general, and the theory of guerrilla warfare was self-taught. Then, he nodded and said, "Since the two deputy marshals both think that Marshal Ben should leave Cizhou, then, Marshal Ben will transfer for the time being." ”
Zhao Gou pondered for a while, and then said, "Marshal Ben has decided to promote Li Ziming, Zhang Erlang, Zhang Sanlang, Lin Xuesong, Qiu Shi, Shi Erlang, and Wang Chongyi to centurions. Li Ziming saved the life of Marshal Ben, and this trip to Taihang Mountain showed loyalty and bravery, and asked Zong Shuai to reward him well. As for Li Kang," Zhao Gou didn't get angry when he thought of him, but only listened to him say indignantly, "Li Dang was demoted to centurion, Zong Shuai, do you think that officer is loyal and strategic, and you can appoint him as the lieutenant of Cizhou County on your own." ”
