What was left to Zhao Ning was a great Song Dynasty with gold and jade on the outside and ruins on the inside.
Forget it, let's digest these things slowly, and stabilize the situation in front of us first.
Everything has to be done step by step.
Seeing that the emperor had finished reading, Wang Huaiji reminded in a low voice: "Officials, Gao Qiu is outside..."
"I know."
After a while, Zhao Ning said, "Let him in."
"Yes!"
Wang Huaiji hurried out while Gao Qiu was shivering in the snow.
A man in his fifties, frozen like a grandson in the ice and snow.
"Senior officials, go in quickly, the official family is waiting for you!"
Gao Qiu hurriedly stepped forward, but was so stiff from the cold that he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Wang Huaiji supported him.
"Senior official, please slow down."
"Old and old."
Gao Qiu hurriedly entered Wende Hall.
The Wende Hall was fully heated, and Gao Qiu felt comfortable as soon as he entered.
"I see the officials, Sheng'an."
Although Gao Qiu no longer has a specific position, the official position is still retained. This is a characteristic of the Song Dynasty, and the official position and position are separated.
So he called himself a minister.
With the book in his hand, Zhao Ning glanced at Gao Qiu.
Gao Lian's face was slightly plump, his skin was thin and tender, and he looked harmless to humans and animals. His two mustaches were wet with ice and snow, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
Zhao Ning said lightly: "You are here."
"I don't know why the officials summoned the ministers?"
"It's nothing. It's just that someone reported you and plotted against you. Is there such a thing?" Zhao Ning continued to read the book with a casual tone.
Gao Qiu suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor in a daze.
What's the situation, I, Gao Lian, plotted something wrong?
I only know how to play football, okay, the Imperial Guards have been abolished by me, Gao Lian, even if I want to plot something wrong, but my strength will not allow it!
Official, you know that my dream is to form the Dasong football dream team!
"Officials, this is completely wronged. The minister is loyal to the officials, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other."
"is it?"
"Absolutely!" Probably because of excitement, Gao Lian's face flushed a little.
Zhao Ning smiled, very gentle. He looked at Gao Qiu calmly and said, "Then what did you take the Imperial Guards south with you last year?"
What Zhao Ning said was that at the end of last year, the Jin army was about to go south, and Song Huizong fled south after throwing the throne to his son.
The situation at that time was like this: Song Huizong didn't want to be the emperor anymore. One night, he called Zhao Huan and forcibly gave the position to Zhao Huan. .
Later, there was really no way, Zhao Huan secretly wiped away his tears in the toilet, and reluctantly ascended to the throne of emperor.
After Song Huizong abdicated the throne, he fled south overnight.
Going south with Song Huizong was his favorite minister Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others.
At that time, Tong Guan led an army of [-] to follow Song Huizong, and Gao Qiu also led the forbidden army all the way south. The two sides were jealous and fought on the road.
When Song Huizong went south, he actually wanted to form another small court in the southeast. He intercepted the taxes from the southeast to the north, and still directed blindly along the way.
This involves the power struggle between Song Qinzong and Song Huizong.
Gao Qiu was a favorite of Song Huizong, and so was Tong Guan.
Later Song Qinzong Zhao Huan coaxed Song Huizong back to Tokyo according to Li Gang's suggestion, Tong Guan and others were killed, and Gao Qiu lost the fight with Tong Guan on the road, so he returned to Tokyo in embarrassment and resigned from the guard The official position of military commander, on the contrary, escaped unharmed.
However, after all, he also led troops south to follow Song Huizong, which is a big taboo.
Because of this incident, Tong Guan lost his head.
Gao Lian was not held accountable, he resigned and went home to play football.
This is what Zhao Ning mentioned.
If this matter is to be dealt with again, Gao Lian should lose his head now.
This incident tells us that if you have nothing to do, don't participate in the struggle for imperial power, or you may be a victim.
When Gao Qiu heard the emperor suddenly mentioning this matter, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot.
"Officials, I was confused for a while, but later I came to my senses and returned to Tokyo. The officials forgive me!"
Zhao Ning saw that this trick was effective, and continued: "Gao Li, they not only reported you for plotting to commit crimes, but also reported that you embezzled a lot of military pay in the forbidden army. Is there such a thing?"
As for who reported Gao Lian, who knows!
Anyway, Zhao Ning didn't know who reported Gao Qi.
People in the 21st century probably think that China's football has not slowed down for more than 1000 years with Gao Taiwei's departure, so let's report him for not doing his job properly.
Anyway, Gao Qiu didn't know if anyone reported him, he couldn't go around and ask, who the hell said in front of the emperor that I was rebellious and corrupt!Who said that!
Gao Qiu didn't dare to ask, because corruption in the imperial guards was as common as eating.
At this moment, he only dared to tremble and say: "There is absolutely no such thing! The officials are clearly aware of this! There is absolutely no such thing!"
Gao Qiu was so frightened that his whole body was shaking. He had been frozen outside for more than half an hour, which was already miserable enough. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came in, one charge of rebellion was dropped, and another charge of corruption was dropped. .
What the fuck is a surprise?
What a fucking surprise!
This is the surprise!
"Whether this happened or not is not up to you. More than one of them told me that you, Gao Qiu, were plotting to commit crimes, taking money and breaking the law!"
"Injustice!"
"Do you want to know what else they said?"
"I am frightened!"
"I ask you, Tong Guan is dead, did you dream about him?"
"Officials! The minister is wronged! The minister is absolutely sincere to the official!"
After being silent for a while, Zhao Ning said, "Gao Qiu, they asked me to kill you."
Gao Qiu was as cold as a grandson just now, and now he is sweating profusely like a waterfall.
The emperor suddenly changed the subject: "But I think you may have been wronged."
Gao Qiu, who had just lost all hope, suddenly trembled again, as if he was grabbing a straw when he was about to drown.
"I trust you to be absolutely loyal to me, don't you?"
At the end of the word "Is it?", the emperor emphasized his tone. Gao Qiu didn't even think about it, and quickly said: "Yes! The officials let the minister do what he wants, and the minister will do it!"
"Really?"
"Really! If I dare to say half a word is false, the officials will chop off my head!"
After a pause, Zhao Ning suddenly changed the subject and said, "What do you think about the siege of the city by the gold thieves?"
Gao Qiu's head buzzed, why did the emperor ask himself this question?
He thought quickly.
He has no opinion on what he can think, but the emperor's question still has to be answered.
Recently, the emperor used the main combat faction. Thinking of this, Gao Qiu immediately blurted out: "Of course it will be a decisive battle to the end! The gold thieves are barbarians, and the barbarians have no faith. They penetrated into the hinterland of the Song Dynasty. As long as we are like the beginning of this year If they defend the city, they will naturally retreat."
"Well, what you said makes sense!" Zhao Ning expressed his satisfaction, he didn't care if Gao Qi was a fool, and he didn't care if Gao Qi's words were perfunctory to himself.
He just wanted Gao Lian to make a statement in front of him.
"I want you to go back to the Imperial City Division and redeem your crimes, are you willing?"
When Gao Qiu heard this, he was overjoyed, but on the surface he was still very humble: "What can I do, my minister."
"If you don't want to, I have no choice but to kill you for the crime of rebellion."
"No, no, I am willing! I am willing to go through fire and water for the official family!"
Chapter 8
In fact, Gao Qiu in the official history and Gao Qiu in "Water Margin" are two people.
The Taiwei Gao in the official history is more of a favorite minister of Song Huizong, a idle minister, wandering around with the imperial army every day, not doing business.
Letting football stars do things like the commander-in-chief of the Central Army has its own problems.
What's more, our Taiwei Gao used to be a rascal.
This kind of person is useless in the first place, so it's fine to throw it out of the court.
But after all, he has been operating in Tokyo City for so many years, so he still has prestige and connections.
Naturally, there is a place for it.
What kind of yamen is the Imperial City Division?
It is very similar to the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor of the Song Dynasty was close to the army and specially supervised the capital and supervised the army.
Now in charge of the Imperial City Division is Wang Zonglin, the uncle of Song Qinzong Zhao Huan.
Wang Zonglin is a dandy, rich and powerful second generation, let alone let him kill, he would not dare to kill a chicken.
Zhao Ning wanted to kick him so cowardly at the top of the city today.
But Gao Qiu is different, although he is the same dude, after all, he has been in the army seriously for many years.
For Zhao Ning, the most important thing now is to have a guard army who can obey his orders.
It's not that the former imperial guards didn't obey their orders, but that Wang Zonglian was too cowardly, how would he kill people next?
Don't let the emperor give an order, and the buddy stands there and dare not move, that would be really embarrassing.
If Gao Qiu dares to stay there, Zhao Ning can turn over the old score and kill him.
The matter was arranged very quickly, and Gao Qiu immediately went to the Imperial City Division to obtain the official seal.
And sleep?
No, no, I'm too nervous about this great enemy, I need to relax a bit.
I am definitely not greedy for beauty, I just want to relieve my mood, so that I can sleep well, and after a good sleep, I will have the energy to fight against the enemy.
I am all for my country and society!
So, Miss Zhu, here I come!
"Official, it's getting late, don't you rest yet?"
"Official, do you want to come back tomorrow?"
"Official, when did you undress so quickly?"
"Guanjia, you braved the wind and snow to go to the city tower during the day, do you want to rest for a while now, Guanjia..."
Zhao Ning suddenly felt that this world was not completely a pit.
The snow outside was getting bigger and bigger, and the fire in the Jinjun camp outside the city was burning brightly.
The camp tent was illuminated by the fire inside, and the light was undulating.
The patrolling golden army was walking back and forth, inspecting every corner, and staring at the towers of Tokyo City.
Night shrouded the largest and most prosperous city in the world today.
The south gate of the imperial palace is Xuande Gate, and there is a gate called Zuoye Gate on the east side of Xuande Gate.
Prime Minister He Li's residence is in this area.
