Liang Shicheng, who was full of a smile on his face, responded to Zhao Ji, opened the emergency report while Zhao Ji was changing his clothes, and his eyes swept over the letter in his hand, but the smile on his face suddenly froze, and even the hand holding the letter couldn't help trembling slightly.

Zhao Ji, who had just put on his coat under the service of the palace maid, was opening his arms at this time, letting the palace maid tidy up his clothes, his eyes fell on Liang Shicheng's body, and he saw Liang Shicheng standing there in a daze, his face as if he had seen a ghost.

"Liang Qingjia, you are ......"

Obviously, seeing that Liang Shicheng's expression was wrong, Zhao Ji had a bad feeling in his heart, after all, he was just greedy for pleasure, but he was not a fool, he could have such a high attainment in calligraphy and painting, but Zhao Ji's own talent was not bad at all, but it was not used in the right place.

At this time, Liang Shicheng's expression changed obviously because of the military report in Liang Shicheng's hand, if it was good news, with his understanding of Liang Shicheng, he must have reported good news to him at this time.

Liang Shicheng was woken up by Zhao Ji's words, his body subconsciously trembled, looked up at Zhao Ji, and almost cried out and said, "Your Majesty...... Defeated......"

Zhao Ji frowned and said, "What the hell is going on." ”

Between speaking, Zhao Ji stepped forward and reached out to take the letter from Liang Shicheng's hand, unfolded it and took a look, Zhao Ji's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and when he saw that the 30,000 army was wiped out, Zhao Ji suddenly tore up the letter and said angrily: "Waste, all are waste, how did Gao Yu choose the person to lead the army, the dignified 30,000 army went to deal with more than 10,000 thieves, and ended up with the annihilation of the whole army!" ”

With a pop, several little yellow doors and palace maids on the side, including Liang Shicheng, saw Zhao Ji angry and couldn't help but kneel to the ground.

grabbed a teacup and smashed it on the ground, Zhao Ji, who had vented a lot, calmed down a little, but there were precedents of Wang Qing in Huaixi and Tianhu in Hebei, Zhao Ji already had a certain resistance to these bad news, but the reason why he was angry was because there were less than 10,000 thieves in Liangshan, and the imperial court dispatched tens of thousands of troops, so he ended up annihilated.

Zhao Ji, who had paced a few steps, turned around and said in a deep voice: "Chuan Gao Yu, Cai Jing and others quickly enter the palace to see me!" ”

Taiwei Mansion

Gao Yu's days in the past few days have been quite leisurely, not long ago he carefully selected elite soldiers to go to Shandong to quell the rebellion in Shuibo Liangshan, it can be said that he is waiting for the good news of Shandong to stabilize his position in the minds of today's sons.

You must know that before the rebellion of the two thieves Wang Qing in Huaixi and Tianhu in Hebei, he was in a hurry, and he made many mistakes, not only did not exterminate the two thieves, but made the two bigger, and even entrenched in the state capital, faintly bringing great threats to the imperial court, but fortunately, the imperial court responded in time and dispatched elite soldiers and strong generals, and finally suppressed the expansion trend of Wang Qing and Tian Hu.

It is conceivable that the rebellion between Wang Qing and Tian Hu has significantly reduced his status in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, which is also the reason why Gao Yu is so concerned about exterminating the Liangshan bandits.

Wang Qing and Tian Hu are entrenched in the locality, claiming to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and he does not have the ability to suppress them for a while and a half, can it be said that he can't clean up the Liangshan bandits who only have thousands of people?

Seeing that his subordinates were busy there, Gao Yu calculated the time and said to one of the officials: "Wang Pu, is there any military information about Shandong?" ”

You must know that Gao Yu rarely pays attention to military news in the Taiwei Mansion, but the official's reaction to Gao Yu is not unusual, when he said to Gao Yu: "Back to the Tai Lieutenant, there is no military information from Shandong!" ”

While he was talking, he saw a clerk coming in a hurry, holding an official document in his hand and saying to Gao Yu: "Tai Lieutenant, Shandong Urgent Report!" ”

Gao Yu, who was sitting there, suddenly got up when he heard this, strode forward, snatched the official document away, unfolded it and looked at it.

With a sweep of his eyes, Gao Yu's whole person was like being struck by lightning, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and a breath of life that no one should enter diffused from Gao Yu's body.

Looking at Gao Yu's appearance, even a fool can guess that there is no good news in the official document, otherwise, Gao Yu will definitely not react like this.

"Xuanzan, Qin Ming misunderstood me!"

With a long sigh, Gao Yu's face was a little angry, obviously this official document was about Xuanzan, Qin Ming, and their defeat at the hands of Liang Shan.

Looking at the official document, Gao Yu couldn't help but look in the direction of the imperial city, such an official document, since he, the captain, has received it, then the one in the palace has also received it at this time, Gao Yu doesn't have to think about it to know what kind of reaction the official family will have when he sees this official document.

"I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be even more disappointed in me this time!"

Just as he was muttering, footsteps sounded outside, and a familiar voice was heard from a distance: "Taiwei, Taiwei......"

Looking up, Gao Yu's face changed slightly, and then he smiled and took a few steps forward to greet him: "Eunuch Meng is not serving by His Majesty's side, come to my Taiwei Mansion, could it be that Your Majesty has any orders?" ”

Meng Guang laughed sharply: "Taiwei, please follow me into the palace, Your Majesty is urgently summoned!" ”

In fact, when Gao Yu saw Meng Guang, he had already guessed the other party's intention in his heart, so when he heard Meng Guang's words, he nodded at Meng Guang and said, "Since it is urgently summoned by His Majesty, Gao Mou will enter the palace with the eunuch." ”

On the way, Gao Yu quietly stuffed a silver ticket into Meng Guang's hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Eunuch Meng, I don't know if Your Majesty summoned Gao to the palace this time, do you have any explanation for what it is?" ”

The relationship between Gao Yu and those close servants around Gao Yu is still quite good, even if you use silver to smash it, you can smash out a little friendship, isn't it?

Meng Guang glanced at the silver ticket when he took it, and saw the amount of five thousand taels of silver on it, not to mention how excited he was. You must know that it is not so easy to deduct the silver from Gao Yu's hands on weekdays.

There was nothing to keep secret, so Meng Guang informed Gao Yu of Zhao Ji's anger after reading an urgent military report, and at the same time glanced at Gao Yu and said: "If you heard it correctly, that military report should be from Yuncheng, Shandong......"

Taking a long breath, Gao Yu's heart was like a mirror, and he bowed to Meng Guang and said, "Gao Yu, thank you for the reminder." ”

In the Imperial City.

When Gao Yu entered the palace, he was meeting Cai Jing, and when he saw Cai Jing, Gao Yu hurriedly saluted Cai Jing and said, "I've seen Cai Xiang, and please Cai Xiang save me!" ”

Cai Jing glanced at Gao Yu, but Gao Yu is also his family, and now Gao Yu has made a mistake, and the Son of Heaven is angry, so he will really deal with Gao Yu.

If Gao Yu comes down from the position of Tai Yu, then it is naturally not a good thing for Cai Jing, after all, through Gao Yu, Cai Jing can remotely control the Tai Wei Mansion, if there is no Gao Yu, in case the Tai Wei Mansion falls into the hands of his opponent, wouldn't it be very bad.

Looking at Gao Yu's flustered appearance, Cai Jing coughed lightly and looked at Gao Yu and said: "Gao Yu, Your Majesty is the most nostalgic, wait until you see Your Majesty, just admit your guilt, no matter how Your Majesty reprimands, you just cry and confess, the old man will speak well for you, if there is no accident, this time it should be a thrilling ......"

Hearing Cai Jing say this, Gao Yu's eyes lit up, and he saluted Cai Jing and said, "Gao Yu, thank you Cai Xiang, thank you Cai Xiang." ”

Soon Cai Jing and Gao Yu came to the imperial study.

Entering the imperial study, the two saw the Son of Heaven sitting there, his face gloomy, obviously in a very bad mood at this time.

Just after the two saluted, Zhao Ji glanced at Gao Yu, and suddenly said, "Okay, you Gao Yu, are you guilty?" ”

With a pop, Gao Yu immediately knelt on the ground and said to Zhao Ji: "The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”

I thought that Gao Yu would defend one or two, but he never thought that Gao Yu would react like this, which made Zhao Ji himself stunned for a moment, and looked at Gao Yu who was kneeling on the ground and shouting guilt with a stunned face.

Looking at Gao Yu, Zhao Ji smiled angrily and said, "You can talk about it...... What are your sins? ”

Gao Yu raised his head blankly and said to Zhao Ji: "The minister doesn't know, but since Your Majesty said that the minister is guilty, then the minister must be guilty......

Cai Jing on the side couldn't help but glance at Gao Yu in surprise, and couldn't help but glance at Gao Yu in his heart, I have to say that Gao Yu can go from a scholar to a high position step by step, and it is not comparable to ordinary people.

was messed up like this by Gao Yu, and Zhao Ji's anger, who was originally angry in his heart, suddenly dissipated a lot, and when he looked at Gao Yu again, there was a little softness in his eyes.

Although Gao Yu said that his ability was not very good, he was loyal to himself, and it was precisely because of this that he would hand over the Taiwei Mansion to Gao Yu to be in charge. As for his ability and outstanding ability to do things, Zhao Ji's first thought was Chu Yi, but Chu Yi's attitude towards him, the son of heaven, made Zhao Ji very uncomfortable.

Seeing Zhao Ji's expression change, Cai Jing coughed lightly and said to Zhao Ji at this time: "Your Majesty, I don't know what mistake Captain Gao has made, but he has provoked His Majesty's thunder and anger!" ”

Zhao Ji pointed at Gao Yu and snorted coldly: "How did he become a captain, just a Liangshan thief, 30,000 troops went to quell the rebellion, but the whole army was wiped out, and I don't know who swore to me that as soon as the army came out, the Liangshan thieves would be wiped out like chickens and dogs." ”

Gao Yu knocked on the ground with his head and said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to give sin, the minister is guilty, it is all blamed on the minister for not knowing people, and he actually chose such incompetent people as Xuanzan, Qin Ming, and Suo Chao, and His Majesty was thundered and angry!" ”

Seeing Gao Yu keep kowtowing, his forehead was red, and if he kowtowed again, his forehead would be broken, and Zhao Ji, who had already gone to the anger in his heart, waved his hand with a little impatience and said, "Okay, get up and talk back to me." ”

Gao Yu got up and bowed, looking very honest.

His eyes swept over Gao Yu and Cai Jing, and finally looked at Cai Jing, only to hear Zhao Ji say: "Cai Xiang, the defeat of the imperial court can be described as a loss of face, but the Liangshan thieves have to be destroyed, I don't know who Cai Xiang can choose?" ”

Cai Jing stroked his beard and said with a look of a bamboo in his chest: "Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty is mostly elite generals, but these good generals all have important positions, such as the family army sitting in the northwest to guard against Western Xia, Huaixi Wang Qing, Tian Hu Rebellion and involved a large number of generals, for a while to want to draw out a general's talent is really a little stretched, but the minister Baoju one, if this person is out of the horse, just Liangshan, there is no wind and waves at all." ”

Zhao Ji looked at Cai Jing's confident appearance, the names of several generals flashed in his mind, and he said curiously: "I don't know who Cai Xiang is referring to?" ”

Cai Jing smiled slightly and said, "King of Guangyang County, Chu Yi is also!" ”

Zhao Ji, who was taking the tea from the little yellow door next to him and taking a sip, heard that even if a sip of tea squirted out, he sprayed Gao Yu with a face and said, "What did you say?" Chu Yi? ”

Even Gao Yu looked at Cai Jing with a puzzled expression, but he quickly reacted, and his eyes faintly showed excitement.

Zhao Ji looked at Gao Yu, and then at Cai Jing, his mind turned, and gradually a little smile appeared on his face, and he bowed his head slightly: "Cai Xiang is really a discerning person, I will pass on the decree, order Chu Yi to be the supervisor of the army, Hu Yanzhuo to be the commander, command the forbidden army of 30,000, and go to Shuibo Liangshan to exterminate the Liangshan bandits." ”

Seeing Zhao Ji's arrangement, Cai Jing and Gao Yu couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that Zhao Ji was really jealous of Chu Yi.

This can be seen from the coach assigned to Chu Yi alone, if Zhao Ji has great trust in Chu Yi, then he will not mention Hu Yanzhuo, who is loyal to the imperial court and was born in the Huyan family of Jiangmen, as the head coach as Chu Yi's partner.

Obviously, this is Zhao Ji to prevent Chu Yi from reaching out to the army and specially arranging Hu Yanzhuo, after all, Hu Yanzhuo is loyal to the imperial court, and Hu Yanzhuo looks at Chu Yi, at least he doesn't have to worry about what Chu Yi will do in the army.

Zhao Ji's actions can be regarded as both practical and precautionary, and even if you think about it in a sinister way, it may not be a means for Zhao Ji to get rid of Chu Yi with the help of Liangshan thieves.

After all, Zhao Ji also knew that Xuanzan, Qin Ming, and Suo Chao were not weak, even if they were all planted in the hands of everyone in Liangshan in this case, then Liangshan's strength was definitely not weak, if Chu Yi really went to Liangshan this time, it was really hard to say what the result would be.

If Chu Yi put down the Liangshan rebellion, it would not be bad, if it was not pacified, whether he died at the hands of the Liangshan bandits, or he was defeated and fled back to Beijing, then he could take the opportunity to concoct Chu Yi.

East Plant

The tentacles of the East Factory, even Gao Yu has received the news, so it is impossible for Chu Yi not to receive the news here, and Chu Yi is sitting there with Lu Zhishen, Lu Junyi, and Lin Chong at this time.

Looking at the secret report, Lu Zhishen couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that the strength of this group of thieves would be so strong, and the 30,000 imperial army would be wiped out like this!" ”

Lu Junyi said: "If you really want to say it, whether it is Qin Ming or Suo Chao, or Xuanzan, it is not a dull and incompetent person, but in this case, they were all defeated by Liang Shan, and it can only be said that Liang Shan's strength is not bad." ”

At this time, Lin Chong pouted and said, "If you want me to say, if it weren't for that Wu Song's move, I'm afraid that the imperial army would not have been defeated so quickly." ”

Saying that, Lin Chong sighed with a face: "At the beginning, the Admiral sent someone to Yanggu County to recruit Wu Song, who was still the head of the capital, but he was rejected by this person, and he never thought that after a few years, this person would quietly become the power of heaven and man to kill. ”

However, the corner of Yang Zhi's mouth showed a little smile and said to Lin Chong: "Captain Lin, according to the intelligence of our Dongchang, that Wu Song has a deep relationship with you and Captain Lu." ”

Hearing the meaning of Yang Zhi's words, Lin Chong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Who would have thought that Wu Song was also a disciple of the teacher, but now it seems that among the several disciples of the teacher, Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Wu Song have all achieved the realm of heaven and man, but Lin is trapped in a bottleneck and cannot advance an inch, which is really a disappointing teacher's expectations." ”

Chu Yi, who was gently tapping on the table, glanced at Lin Chong, who had a bitter face, and said with a slight smile: "Captain Lin doesn't have to be like this, everyone has their own chances, can it be said that Captain Lin thinks that his qualifications are not as good as Wu Song?" Or is it doubting the choice of Grand Master Zhou Dong? ”
