Chapter 996
Wang Fu took a sip and sat there silently.
Gao Qiu had a good temper. He also sat down with a friendly smile on his face and his hands did not stop.
He personally made tea for Wang Fu.
Gao Taiwei's tea-making skills are also good and his technique is proficient.
"Do you know?" Gao Qiu said while making tea, "I also have two sons. The younger one is about the same age as you. When he was eighteen years old, he said he wanted to join the army and was slapped by me. I don't want him to.
He died on the battlefield."
Wang Fu didn't speak or look at Gao Qiu, he just stared at the ground.
"I was deeply touched by what you said in Fan Lou." Gao Qiu said slowly.
Wang Fu still didn't speak.
"Many people have died in the war over the years." Gao Qiu continued, "At first, we stood up to fight against the Jin in order to drive away the Jin people, regain Hebei and Hedong, and save the people in the north. We all united as one, but...
…”
The person next to him brought some pastries, Gao Qiu waved his hand, and they all went down.
Wang Fu remained silent.
Gao Qiu sighed and said: "But as time goes by, many things have changed. The lost land has been recovered, but some people continue to advocate for more troops on the border for the sake of power. They create an imaginary enemy in the court to intimidate
And the purpose of deceiving Jinshang is to let the court continue to give them more money to expand their troops, think about the former Tang Dynasty!"
Wang Fu's eyes finally fell on Gao Qiu, and his eyes moved.
Gao Qiu continued: "To be honest, I don't want to arrest you, because what you said is right. So many people have died, and what about those dandies in the capital!"
"They continue to wear gold and silver, hug women, drink fine wine, and open their mouths to ask people on the front line to think about the overall situation! I can't wait to send them to the border today to think about the overall situation!"
Captain Gao's voice became a little excited.
"Those who want to sing about war all day long will scare the shit out of them if they go to the battlefield! They are stupid pigs! Bullshit! They should be sent to it!"
While making tea, Captain Gao lost control of his emotions.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself just now. In fact, there are some words that I shouldn't say, especially the words you said. Don't say them. It won't do you any good to say them. I've been holding these words back for a long time."
"It turns out that Captain Gao is also a man of temperament." Wang Fu finally spoke.
"Oh, young man, you are still too young." Gao Qiu continued.
"The treacherous ministers in the court today have caused countless people to die tragically in foreign lands. Although I come from a humble background, I know that if this continues, the country will be uneasy and the country will be uneasy!" Wang Fu looked at Gao Qiu, his eyes were as clear as the morning sun.
Like spring water, his tone is as firm as a rock.
"But you have to know the method."
"Everyone is afraid and silent. Whoever upholds justice for the people of the world will speak for the good men who died on the border!" Wang Fu said impassionedly.
He remembered that after graduation, he went to Shaanxi for the first time and went to Liu Qi's place.
It was the first time I saw the military camp, the soldiers training, and the first time I went into battle with the army to kill the enemy.
He thought again of Liu Xi who had sacrificed his life, and of the countless comrades who had sacrificed their lives together with Liu Xi.
They had formed a deep friendship and agreed to live and die together.
He remembered again that on that snowy day, the army was surrounded by Xixia people.
His eyes turned red instantly.
"I am already considered a dead man." Wang Fu held back his tears, stood up, raised his head and said, "Because Liu Xi and I misjudged the situation, the army entered an ambush by the Western bandits, and the entire army died!
"
"I should have died there with them! Later, the soldiers of the third battalion swore to escort me out..."
At this point, Wang Fu paused, and he obviously began to choke.
"They themselves... they themselves all died in battle..."
The surroundings were very quiet. The sun fell from above and fell on Wang Fu's body, emitting clean halos.
"I also wanted to commit suicide countless times, but thinking about their families, I survived!" Wang Fu said excitedly, "I personally delivered the blood-stained letters to their relatives one after another.
, the moment I saw their relatives collapse and cry, I swear! I started thinking... I started thinking about the meaning of those killings."
Gao Qiu sat there silently, his tea had already been brewed.
"Killing has no meaning. It will only destroy batches of good men!" Wang Fu became excited. "Maybe you will say that if we don't fight, the Xixia and Jin people will attack us. We are forced to resist.
What about now? Now that Xia Jin has been defeated by us many times, why do we continue to increase our troops at the border? Why do we still take the initiative to provoke another attack? Why do we continue to send more people to the border! Why do we still let more people go to the border?
Too many children have lost their fathers!”
His voice began to tremble. He looked at Gao Qiu with tears in his eyes and anger in his eyes. He shouted in a low voice: "All of this is the expansion of the ambitions of a few people! Everything is just some idiots barking there, those
Officials who are well-dressed and well-fed are only adding fuel to the flames despite having nothing to do with themselves! They all deserve to die!"
"That's right!" Gao Qiu directly smashed the tea cup in his hand, "They not only deserve to die! They simply deserve to be cut into pieces! Send their relatives to the border, let them put on iron armor, pick up knives, and go
Go fight the western thieves and the gold thieves, and then look at their faces!"
"Captain Gao really thinks what I'm saying is right?"
"There are many things that you can't see among the people. It doesn't mean that I don't know about it. The Imperial City Division has been keeping an eye on those ambitious and treacherous ministers for a long time and has collected some intelligence. The officials also know what they are doing."
"real?"
"Do you think you're the only one who can see this?"
"Please ask Lieutenant Gao to get rid of those treacherous ministers for the Song Dynasty and save countless people who are still on the border!" Wang Fu knelt down.
Gao Qiu immediately helped him up: "Sit down first."
Wang Fu sat down and said, "It was my fault that I had misunderstood Captain Gao before. I apologize to Captain Gao."
"It doesn't matter, it's all about sharing the worries of the officials and the people of the Song Dynasty. Drink tea, drink tea."
The two started chatting like they had been friends for years.
I don’t know how long they chatted before Gao Qiu asked: “Brother Wang, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, I also have a mission.”
Gao Qiu took an appointment letter from Ban Zhi, an imperial city official, and said: "This is a letter of appointment from the officials, appointing you as an official in Kaifeng Prefecture. There are still good ministers in the court. What you have done
Although what you did caused chaos, your daring loyalty was noticed, so start by recommending officials."
Wang Fu received the appointment letter and said excitedly: "Thank you, Captain Gao."
"But you have to tell me who asked you to speak in Fan Lou. Don't worry, we won't pursue him. Now we also need some people like you to come forward. We need more voices like this."
"The former signed the letter, Li Hui, Privy Councilor and Minister of War."
When Gao Qiu came out, he didn't expect that the complexity of this matter might exceed his imagination.
