Chapter 15 Taishifu
Pang Ji is over sixty years old, his tall figure is already slightly hunched, and the gray hair and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes make this powerful and oppositional Taishi look a little old. At this moment www.biquge.info Pang Ji was sitting in the study, listening to Pang Long's return expressionlessly, as if Pang Long was talking about other things and had nothing to do with him.
Until Pang Long finished saying the whole thing, Pang Ji still didn't say a word, Pang Long looked a little nervous, and asked softly, "Father, ......what do you think of this matter?"
Pang Ji didn't answer, but asked, "What about the people in the restaurant?"
"The drinkers have been dispersed by Hua Chong before we go, and the guy and the shopkeeper have been confined in the backyard, and I left Pang Yi when I left, I believe that Pang Yi has done it by now. ”
"Where's the city gate?"
"Feng Yu is a well-behaved person, and he is also an old subordinate of his father, I gave him a silver ticket of five thousand taels of silver, and he naturally knows what to do. ”
Pang Ji was still expressionless: "Go out, ask Feiyan and that flower to rush in to see me." ”
Pang Feiyan walked in with Hua Chong's hand, and the two knelt in front of Pang Ji together, Pang Feiyan let out a sigh of relief and said calmly: "Father, daughter, but at your disposal, I just beg you to spare Brother Chong and let him go." ”
Pang Ji said coldly: "Until now, you still dare to negotiate conditions with me?"
"My daughter is not filial, since it has affected the whole family, I really don't want Brother Chong to die with me anymore. ”
Pang Ji stared at Hua Chong and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
Hua Chong said disdainfully: "I have nothing to say, since I came with Feiyan, I am not afraid of anything, but it is up to the old lady to deal with it." ”
Pang Ji snorted coldly: "You are quite bold!"
"If I dare to do it, why should I come to the Taishi Mansion? I took Feiyan away to the end of the world at this moment, even if it is the emperor's decree, the end of the world, am I still afraid that the government will not be able to arrest it?"
"The rangers are just the courage of the horseman. ”
"If it weren't for Feiyan's estimation of the father-daughter relationship, my husband's courage would have taken her away. ”
"Hmph, are you coming back for me?"
Pang Ji slowly stood up, slowly paced to the door, sighed, and said helplessly: "Do you think I am really willing to sacrifice Feiyan's happiness in this life?"
Hua Chong was silent, but Pang Feiyan looked up sadly and said: "You only have one daughter for me, if you don't sacrifice me, why can you maintain the glory and wealth of the family!"
When Pang Ji heard this, he suddenly shouted: "Shut up!"
This sudden roar was like a thunderbolt, and the frightened Pang Feiyan almost sat on the ground, and Hua Chong was also stunned, he didn't expect Pang Taishi to be so angry.
After roaring this, Pang Ji's voice seemed to be a little choked, and he said slowly: "If my father had any other way, he wouldn't want to do this! Do you think I'm for this Taishi? Do you think I'm for glory and wealth? Let me tell you, if I don't do this, our whole family will already be a group of dead people at this moment!!
Hua Chong heard and knew that there must be some misunderstanding between the father and daughter, and he could take this opportunity to resolve the contradictions, as for the matter of entering the palace, after the father and daughter reconciled, they would slowly find a way to solve it.
"If Master Pang has anything unspeakable, the three of us are here today, why don't you explain it here? Now that a catastrophe is coming, there should be no more estrangement between your father and daughter. ”
"Feiyan, you should also listen to your father's suffering. ”
"Okay, it's good that the old man made it clear to you today, and the province was treated as an enemy by his own daughter!"
"In that case, please let the old lady say it clearly. ”
"Alas, it is very long when it comes to saying this, so get up, all of you. ”
Master Pang, who decided to tell the secret in his heart, seemed to feel a little relieved, and slowly returned to his seat. looked at Hua Chong and Pang Feiyan, who were standing with their hands down, like an old man telling stories to children, telling stories that had never been mentioned to anyone.
Pang Ji was born in the army, and he had already joined the army as early as when Taizu conquered the south. Later, Taizong ascended the throne, Ningxia sent troops to Shanxi, and Taizong ordered his third brother Zhao Guangmei to command 100,000 troops to quell the Western rebellion. And the vanguard officer of Zhao Guangmei's army is Pang Ji!
In Pang Ji's view, this was originally a very ordinary military operation, the Great Song Dynasty was located in the Central Plains, the four Yi attacked, the army was conquest, and it was inevitable that the dynasties and dynasties would inevitably be a military general, and he should serve the country, accumulate military exploits and be promoted. But what he didn't expect was that behind this military dispatch, there was a huge secret hidden.
The founding of the Song Dynasty was different from other families, and everyone who was the king was passed down from father to son, but this Song Dynasty was passed from brother to brother! It turned out that the three brothers Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, were all born from the same mother. The eldest brother Zhao Kuangyin, the second brother Zhao Guangyi, and the third brother Zhao Guangmei. The mother of these three people, the Empress Dowager Du, ordered the three brothers to take turns to be the emperor, after Zhao Kuangyin died, the second brother Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, Zhao Guangyi a hundred years later, the third brother Zhao Guangmei ascended the throne, after Zhao Guangmei's death, and then Zhao Kuangyin's son ascended the throne, so that the three families took turns to sit in the village, so that their brothers would not have infighting.
It's a pity that this matter is only out of the kindness of a mother, and you must know that in later generations, the brothers can resort to the court because of a house, and they can use knives for the sake of demolition and relocation expenses, and this is a real emperor's throne! If one family does it, and two families look at it, it is inevitable that there will be a plot to usurp the throne and kill each other.
Moreover, although the three brothers were born to the same mother, their personalities are very different. This Zhao Guangyi has coveted the emperor's throne of his eldest brother for a long time. The so-called taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Zhao Guangyi took advantage of Zhao Kuangyin's illness to secretly murder his brother, and won the throne of the emperor, which is the later Song Taizong.
Although he became the emperor, after all, there was a third brother below, and if this person was not removed, this emperor could not be passed on to his son. coincided with the rebellion in Western Xia, so Taizong ordered his third brother Zhao Guangmei to send troops to attack Ningxia.
This Zhao Guangmei talked about leading troops to fight, and he was an out-and-out handsome talent, attacking and killing, fighting and defending, fighting and leading ambushes, all of which were excellent. But when it comes to the tricks in the court, it is much worse. I didn't expect the second brother to have the intention of harming him, and he only said that he was leading troops to fight the rebellion.
This battle was a complete victory, and he went straight to the foot of Helan Mountain, and if he relied on Pang Ji, he would directly destroy a country in Ningxia and avoid disasters. This Zhao Guangmei is kind-hearted and can't bear the destruction of Ningxia, so Ningxia announced its surrender, wrote a letter to the table, and was willing to pay tribute every year, and call himself a minister every year, in exchange for Zhao Guangmei's withdrawal.
Zhao Guangmei, who won a complete victory, ordered the class to return to the court. But when he arrived at the foot of Bianliang City, what was waiting for him was not a reward, but a cold city gate!
Emperor Taizong ordered: Before the merit is decided, no people from the west are allowed to enter the city!
This waiting process lasted for three months, Zhao Guangmei waited, but the 100,000 troops under his command could not wait, the dead soldiers did not have pensions, the wounded brothers did not have soup money, and those with military merits were not rewarded, and the army was unstable for a while. Zhao Guangmei saw that things were not good, so she didn't dare to wait any longer, so she could only enter the palace to meet Taizong and ask for a reward for the western expedition.
Zhao Guangyi waited for this day, and saw that the third brother finally came to beg him, so he took out the long-planned line and said: "Third brother, the current emperor is still me, not you! When you become the emperor, you can naturally make up your mind, and now I have the final say!"
Zhao Guangmei was shocked: "Brother, I didn't mean that. ”
"If you return to the dynasty in victory, you will naturally have the ability to coerce the lord of the town and force me to give way, but are you sorry for your mother and brother when you do this? Third brother, don't worry, the soldiers who should be rewarded, brother, I will naturally reward you, I just ask that we brothers don't let people laugh at each other, after all, I am still the king of a country, I hope that the third brother can give me an explanation in front of people, and when you ascend the throne in the future, everything is not yours, so why rush at this time?"
Zhao Guangmei thought that the second brother had misunderstood what he meant, and she didn't expect that this was a poisonous plan set by Zhao Guangyi. Hearing these words, Zhao Guangmei was ashamed, and said to Taizong with a red face: "Long live, as long as you can order the reward of the three armies, the meritorious heroes, and the death and wounded, Weichen will definitely give you an explanation." ”
Zhao Guangyi knew that the third brother was a straight man, and when he saw that he was no longer speaking in a brother's tone, but a monarch and minister, he expected that the third brother had already died and that his heart had been accomplished. So the next day he issued an order to reward the three armies.
Soldiers who are killed or wounded in battle are given bereavement benefits, and meritorious deeds are rewarded. Among them, the greatest credit was the former vanguard general Pang Ji, so Pang Ji was named the deputy privy envoy and made a marquis!
Zhao Guangmei saw that all the rewards were completed, but there was no herself, knowing that this was the second brother who wanted to give an explanation to herself, so she hanged herself in her house that night, and died with hatred!
After getting the news of the suicide of the third brother, Emperor Taizong finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his great cause of dominating the world was successfully completed. But I never expected that someone would come to find trouble -- his sister-in-law, Taizu's queen He, made a big fuss in the early dynasty, and scolded Zhao Guangyi for murdering his brother in the Golden Palace!
After a lot of scolding, Zhao Guangyi, who was scolded, was poor in words, and in the end there was no way, and he was afraid of what people said. In order to gag his mouth, Zhao Guangyi lowered himself to a generation, respected the He family as the queen mother, entered the palace for the elderly, sealed his son Zhao Defang as the king of the eight sages, built the Nanqing Palace, gave a golden mace on the tile, beat the unconscious monarch on the top, beat the ministers on the bottom, and called it "eight thousand years old", although the descendants of Zhao Kuangyin could not be the emperor from then on, so he could be regarded as scolding a golden rice bowl.
After dealing with the aftermath of the eldest brother's family, as well as the third brother's family, instead of waiting for someone to scold him, it is better to strike first. After the scolding of the queen of congratulations, coupled with the golden mace in Zhao Defang's hand, Zhao Guangyi did not dare to plot against the third brother's family. However, if you want to seal another "8,000-year-old", it will be even more troublesome in the future, one emperor, two "pseudo-emperors", it is easy to say and not to hear.
The old prime minister Zhao Pu gave Taizong an idea to make Zhao Guangmei's son a foreign vassal and not allowed to enter the court if he had nothing to do. In this way, there is one less scourge in the court, and what is lost is only the money and food of a city. Taizong was overjoyed and named Zhao Jue, the son of Zhao Guangmei, as the king of Xiangyang, and Yongzhen Xiangyang.
Later, Taizong died, Zhenzong ascended the throne, and Zhao Defang, the king of the eight sages, said that he was beside the emperor, first, he did not dare to make a big move, and secondly, he had no intention of taking the throne, so he lived freely. On the contrary, it was Zhao Jue, who was far away in Xiangyang, who caused trouble.
When Zhao Jue was crowned king, he was only eight years old and was not sensible. Later, as I got older, my sense of revenge became stronger. Later, when he was in his twenties, he began to plan a rebellion!
To say that Zhao Jue is alone, he really doesn't have such great courage, behind him, there is a person who supports him - Zhao Yuanhao, the king of Ningxia.
When Zhao Guangmei attacked Western Xia, he did not destroy other countries and other species, but instead swore brothers with him and gave the country the surname Zhao, which made Zhao Yuanhao grateful. Later, when he heard that Zhao Guangmei committed suicide and Zhao Jue was demoted to the king of Xiangyang, he had the intention of avenging Zhao Guangmei.
When Zhao Jue grew up, he sent an envoy to conspire with Zhao Jue to discuss the rebellion against the Great Song Dynasty and ensure that Zhao Jue ascended the throne in the future. Zhao Jue was also very interested in this, but after all, he had no one under him, so he opened a recruitment hall in the palace, hired heroes from all over the world, and nominally served as a royal official in the palace, but in fact, he was given an official position in the future rebellion, preparing for the future army.
On the list of heroes he hired, there was a list of generals, and the first one was Pang Ji!!
