Chapter 496: Zhao Gou responded
When later generations evaluated Zhao Gou, they called it Zhao Jiumei.
It was really because when Zhao Gou faced the Jin people, he had no backbone at all, and in order to seek peace overnight, he did not hesitate to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, and he was called a minister, and killed the Great Wall of the Great Song Dynasty.
But as the ninth son of Huizong, he still has greed and covetousness for the throne of the Great Song Dynasty. In order to get this throne, in order to sit on this throne, he can reuse Qin Hui, an undercover agent of the Jin State, and can also reuse the main battle faction Li Gang and Zhang Jun.
Everything is based on whether his throne is secure or not.
Now that the army under his command has broken through the Jin army, and even captured the emperor of the Jin State alive, Zhao Gou's heart is really mixed, both excited and afraid, excited and apprehensive.
And all the ministers were completely shocked.
Including Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo, they couldn't believe their ears.
Although they fought the main battle, their position was to resist aggression.
As long as you knock your enemies back, sit back and relax.
No one dared to break the Jin army and capture the dream of the emperor on the other side.
Not to mention capturing the emperor alive, if they can capture a general alive, they think it is an unprecedented achievement.
And Tang Siwei and Wang Zhiwang's positions are similar to theirs.
It's just a surrender in exchange for safety and wealth.
Anyway, if you are generous to the country, you don't need them to pay.
No one expected that the soldiers in front would achieve such a great victory.
I'm afraid that I can have the same feats as Li Jing capturing Jieli Khan alive!
Zhao Kui saw that the monarchs and ministers were gradually quieting down, and added: "Your Majesty, General Xin Qiji, who captured Yan Liang alive, rushed to deliver the letter overnight on the order of Yu Zhongshu, and presented the jade seal of the Kingdom of Jin, saying that it was captured on the battlefield and was ready to be presented to the emperor. ”
"Good!good!good!" Zhao Gou was overjoyed, slammed the table, and shouted, "Xuan Xin abandoned the rush to the palace." ”
......
"The emperor has decreed, General Xuan Xin Qiji will meet ——!" Accompanied by the little eunuch's passing in turn, Xin Qiji, who was dressed in armor, walked into the gate of the Jiankang Mansion and went all the way to the bottom of the steps of the Yamen lobby. As a deputy commander of the front division of the palace who had served as a door god in the Lin'an Palace, Xin Qiji had seen the world, but he was still stunned by what he saw - Zhao Gou, who should have been in the high seat, actually led the civil and military officials out and personally went to the top of the steps to welcome Xin Qiji's arrival!
"The last general Xin Qiji, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Xin Qiji didn't dare to learn from his master, and when he saw the emperor, he was just making a joke.
He hurriedly knelt down on his knees and saluted, unwrapped his back, took out a jade seal from it, raised his hands above his head, and shouted excitedly: "The last general Xin abandoned the disease, and reported the good news to our emperor long live by the order of Yu Yunwen, the scholar and the staff officer, the battle of quarrying, Lai Wu Huang Hongfu, the soldiers used their lives, our Great Song army won more with less, defeated the strong with the weak, and broke the 100,000 gold army with 20,000 royal divisions! In addition, he also seized the jade seal of the heirloom occupied by the Jin State, and was ordered to meet His Majesty, offer treasures, and wish my emperor eternal peace and longevity!"
"Miracle, ——!" Although he was already mentally prepared, but seeing the heirloom jade seal in Xin Qiji's hand with his own eyes, Zhao Gou still shouted excitedly, "With 20,000 troops, I will break the gold soldiers and 100,000 soldiers, I have you and other good ministers and tiger generals, sit back and relax! Xin You'an (Xin Qiji changed the word to You'an after returning to the south), you are worthy of being my door god!"
The civil and military officials were also dumbfounded, and they were very excited.
But more often than not, the brow is furrowed.
Even Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo took precautions against Xin Qijian in their hearts.
In fact, Xin Qiji was only twenty-two years old, and he was the deputy commander of the former division of the official palace, and his age and position were far below these prime ministers, so he could not pose a threat to them at all.
But that's not what the prime ministers are afraid of.
Yu Yunwen is a Wenchen and belongs to his own people.
And Xin Qiji seems to be taking the road of a military general.
In the Song Dynasty, it was a constant national policy to use literature and imperial martial arts, and even when the world was in turmoil after the Jingkang disaster, when the warriors were in the limelight, the political status of the generals did not rise.
The imperial court's precautions against military generals have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
Tang Si retreated and said in his heart: "Your Majesty must be persuaded to pay attention to preventing Xin Qi's disease." ”
Zhang Jun was thinking: "Jiuwen Xin Qiji is a genius in the north, good at lyrics, if he can participate in the big exam, be on the list, and be influenced by the loyalty and patriotism, maybe he can be better." ”
"Someone, go and pick up the jade seal. Wang Fuguo, the head of the eunuch behind Zhao Gou, was trying to ask a little eunuch to take over the jade seal of the country, but Zhao Gou waved his hand and shouted: "Slow, this jade seal of the Jin Kingdom is clearly the jade seal of my Great Song Dynasty, Jingkang's difficulty was taken away, and now it is returned to Zhao, I should pick it up in person!"
Wang Fuguo didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked down the steps with Zhao Gou in his arms, and walked in front of Xin Qiji. In an instant, the surrounding Wenchen generals and many guards bowed down and shouted in unison, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" Chen Kangbo preemptively shouted: "When Emperor Zhezong, a farmer named Duan Yi found this heirloom seal when he was plowing the field and sent it to the imperial court. According to the records of the previous dynasty, thirteen scholars believed that it was the seal of the first emperor. Later, the difficulty of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers broke the Bianliang, the two emperors hunted in the north, and the "Seal of the Country" was plundered by the Jin State, and now our Great Song Dynasty army has recaptured this jade seal and presented it to the emperor, and it has fulfilled its long-cherished wish for many years, which is enough to prove that our emperor's cultural and martial arts, and directly pursue my Taizu, Taizong, and my Great Song Dynasty Zhongxing! ”
"Okay! Okay! Well said!" Zhao Gou shouted excitedly, shouting: "Where is the book of the Ministry of Rites, pass on the decree, and after I return to Lin'an, I will personally lead the civil and military officials in Beijing to worship the ancestors in the Taimiao, and use this jade seal to comfort the spirits of the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty in the sky!"
He didn't wait for the Ministry of Rites Shangshu to answer, Zhao Gou handed over the jade seal to Wang Fuguo, strode up the steps, grabbed Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo by the collars, and shouted: "Two Aiqing, thanks to you, thanks to you!
Lai Guogong is Kou Zhun, he originally persuaded Emperor Zhenzong to drive the expedition in person, boost morale, and only then did the Battle of Lanyuan come to exchange for more than 120 years of peace in the north.
And Kou Zhun also became a famous minister through the ages.
Now Zhao Gou compares Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo to Kou Zhun, which is to praise the two of them for having the style of famous ministers, which is a great praise.
When the officials came to this role, of course, what they pursued was a good name for the ages, and when the two heard the emperor's praise, they couldn't help but feel agitated in their hearts, and they bowed down to give salutes and thanked them for their appreciation.
Zhao Gou turned back to Xin Qi and said, "You'an, don't get up yet, you have made great contributions this time, and you deserve to be a good door god for me." ”
Xin Qiji hurriedly thanked him, and said with courage: "Your Majesty, when the last general was ordered to come, he knew that Ye Yiwen, a member of the Privy Council, had rushed to the quarry and was in charge of the whole army, and now Yu Zhongshu was ordered to lead the army to Zhenjiang, and the master of the last general, Feng Zhenren, personally escorted the gold lord Wan Yan Liang to Jiankang Mansion, because the capture of Wan Yan Liang shocked the Jin country too much, and at the same time asked the emperor and the princes of the political hall for instructions on how to deal with the next developments. ”
"Accurately, let Feng Zhenren come to the capital!" Zhao Gou agreed, and said categorically: "Tell me to go down, one day when Feng Zhenren arrives at Jiankang Mansion, I should personally go out of the city thirty miles to greet him and all the meritorious soldiers!"
"The ministers obeyed. ”
......
When Zhao Gou returned to the palace residence, his face completely changed.
He sat there and said to a young Taoist priest, "Master Zhang, I secretly invited you from Longhu Mountain, do you know what I mean?"
The Taoist priest smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the poor Dao has been in retreat for ten years, but he doesn't know anything about worldly affairs. Your Majesty can rest assured that Longhu Mountain has been blessed by heaven, and Poor Dao will definitely try his best to be loyal to His Majesty, and there will be no two hearts. ”
It turned out that this young man was none other than Zhang Shouzhen, a contemporary celestial master who had been in retreat for ten years on Longhu Mountain.
He continued: "It's just Your Majesty, Feng Zhou is so powerful at a young age, there must be a secret method passed down from generation to generation, if this person makes trouble, the poor way can at most prevent him from harming Your Majesty, but there is nothing else he can do." ”
"I've thought of that. Zhao Gou nodded, clapped his hands lightly, and immediately walked out of a Taoist priest from behind, this person had white hair, but his face was red and fluttering, and he didn't look at his beard, as if he was rejuvenated.
"This is the Qi Refiner of Qingcheng Mountain, Du Xian Du Zhenren. Zhao Gou said lightly.
"Du Xian to meet His Majesty and meet Zhang Tianshi. Du Xian made a joke, and his face was very calm.
"It turned out to be Du Zhenren, poor and polite. Zhang Tianshi smiled slightly and returned the salute gently.
He is young, has deep mana, and is a family scholar, although he rarely goes down the mountain, but he knows everything about the famous disciples in the world. Of course, I know that Du Xiandu Zhenren, who lives in seclusion in the mountains behind Qingcheng Mountain, this person's grandfather Du Guangting was the leader of the Taoist sect in the past, and the Taoist priests in the world worship under his door, which is really majestic.
And Du Xian has been living in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain for fifty years, and his mana and cultivation have already reached an unfathomable point.
"There is also Maoshan Lin Zhengxiong Taoist has not yet arrived, the three real people are all famous Taoist disciples, generations of deep favor of the country, now there are Taoist people are getting stronger and stronger, and gradually have the heart of the court, if this boat is safe and guarded, if there is something unbearable to say, you have to ask the three real people. Zhao Gou stood up and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Poor Dao will definitely go all out. The two Taoist priests glanced at each other and saluted Zhao Gou together.
Zhao Gou nodded slowly.
After the two Dao Masters left, Feng Zhou sighed and slapped the table lightly.
The commander of the Imperial City Division made Xia Hu walk in quietly, saluted His Majesty slightly, and then said nothing.
"When will Wan Yan Yong's envoy arrive at Jiankang Mansion?" Zhao Gou asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, this person rushed to Lin'an by sea three days ago, and according to the arrangement, he will be able to secretly enter the city tomorrow afternoon. Xia Hu said in a low voice.
"Okay, good!" Zhao Gou nodded, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his heart ebbed and flowed.
