"I have met you, sir." Liu Qi bowed to Han Shizhong.
"Hey, we are all old acquaintances, and Uncle Xin is still so polite." Han Shizhong said with a smile. Ever since Yue Fei won a big victory, he has been so happy recently. Liu Qi in front of him was once Han Shizhong's subordinate, and he also commanded
It was another eight-character army. Han Shizhong knew Liu Qi very well and knew that his abilities were not weaker than those of others.
"Uncle Xin, I haven't seen you for so long. I wonder if your archery skills have fallen behind?" Han Shizhong teased.
"Of course not. Mr. Han, why don't you take a look for yourself." Liu Qi was not a serious person either. Seeing his old boss so happy, he lost his restraint.
"Okay, I just don't know what you want me to think?"
Liu Qi scanned the yard but couldn't find anything suitable. Then he glanced at the kettle on Han Shizhong's waist and said with a smile, "I would like to borrow your lord's kettle."
"Oh, here you go." Han Shizhong tossed the kettle to Liu Qi nonchalantly, and asked doubtfully: "You didn't mean to shoot the kettle, this doesn't count."
"My lord, please look carefully."
Liu Qi hung the kettle on a tree in the yard, and then walked about a hundred meters. He bent his bow and drew the arrow, narrowed his eyes slightly, let go, and heard a bang, the arrow hit the kettle, and the water in the kettle unexpectedly
Nothing spilled at all.
Han Shizhong saw this: "Uncle Xin's archery skills are getting better and better, and he didn't even spill water. Not bad, not bad."
"This is nothing. General, please help me pull out the arrow and stay away."
"Huh?" Han Shizhong was a little confused, but he did as he was told.
After Han Shizhong pulled out the arrow, the water in the kettle began to flow out. Liu Qi concentrated on aiming, and hit the kettle again with a bang. The water stopped flowing. Han Shizhong looked at it intently, and saw that
The arrow actually just blocked the hole in the kettle that was shot the first time.
"Hahahaha, good, good, good arrows, good arrows."
"Why are you scolding me, sir?"
"Haha, you kid."
It has to be said that although the Song Dynasty lacked Mingxiang at this time, there were really many excellent military generals. Needless to say, there are famous ones like Han Shizhong and Yue Fei. Let’s just talk about the current Liu Qi. He has great military achievements in history, but he is
The little known Lord.
Historically, Zhao Gou agreed to negotiate peace with the Jin State, and the Jin State agreed to return Shunchang and other places. But when Liu Qi was about to arrive in Shunchang, the Jin State actually regretted it and tore up the peace agreement.
Liu Qi should have withdrawn his troops and returned, but he did the opposite, ordered a rapid march, and rushed to Shunchang overnight. Then came the most glorious moment of his life, what a last-ditch battle, what an empty city strategy, what three thousand Vietnamese armor can be
Swallow Wu, what an iron pagoda, Liu Qi really had a great time fighting that battle.
In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the first battle that determined the status of the Song and Jin Dynasties, the Battle of Shunchang, was fought by Liu Qi. It can be said that the victory in Yue Fei's battle now was fought by Liu Qi in history, and he did it better than Yue Fei.
But why is Liu Qi not well known today?
Because after the Battle of Shunchang, Liu Qi was suppressed by Qin Hui and was directly demoted to a local official. If you can't fight, then find a place where there is no battle for you to go.
During the Zhao Gou period of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was really beyond words that even dogs would shake their heads after seeing it.
"Sir, I wonder when I will leave for Shunchang? The general really doesn't want to stay in Lin'an anymore and wants to go to the northern frontline earlier." Liu Qi asked doubtfully. Originally, the soldiers who were about to go out had to face the situation when they went out.
I want to see His Majesty, but now Liu Chan has sealed the palace gate again, and no one wants to see him.
"Your Majesty has sent an order, and you will leave today. The food and grass have been handed over to Prime Minister Qin, and he will not see you for the time being." Han Shizhong thought of the situation when he met Liu Chan, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. Now it is really difficult to meet the emperor.
Yes, even he had to hand over several coupons before Liu Chan allowed him to enter the palace.
Han Shizhong still can't forget the scene at that time. When Han Shizhong walked into Liu Chan's study, Liu Chan was sitting on a chair reading with a serious face. If it weren't for the smell of wine and women in the room, and if it weren't for the look in Liu Chan's eyes,
While reading the book, Han Shizhong wanted to believe that Liu Chan was really working hard on reading. Moreover, Liu Chan actually talked a lot about the truth, saying that he believed in their ability and their loyalty, and that Han Shizhong came to him for military affairs and political affairs.
Look for Zhao Ding and Qin Hui for food and grass. Han Shizhong strongly suspects that His Majesty just doesn't want to work.
However, the situation in the Song Dynasty is getting better and better now. His Majesty also supports the Northern Expedition and his attitude towards generals is gradually becoming more tolerant. Han Shizhong can only pretend that he knows nothing.
"No need to meet Your Majesty?" Liu Qi said in surprise. This seemed to be a bit unreasonable.
"Your Majesty is worried day and night now. In order for our army to regain the northern part of the Central Plains as soon as possible, he is worried so much every day that he can't sleep until late at night. Uncle Xin, please don't let down your Majesty's painstaking efforts. The north depends on you and Yue Fei." Han Shizhong's face
He twitched and said without conscience.
"Your Majesty is like this!" Liu Qi was shocked, and quickly bowed in the direction of the palace, and then said to Han Shizhong: "Master Han, please tell your Majesty that as long as Liu Qi is here, Luoyang will not fall to the Kingdom of Jin.
Hand. If the city of Luoyang is destroyed, I will never survive."
Han Shizhong nodded heavily. He knew that Liu Qi had brought his whole family to Luoyang this time, and it could be said that he lived and died with Luoyang. Although Liu Qi was a civil servant, his ability and attitude were much stronger than those of the military attachés.
What is Liu Chan doing at this time? Oh, he is lying in the arms of a group of beautiful ladies, tasting fine wine and enjoying singing and dancing.
"Another comfortable and uneventful day." Liu Chan thought to himself.
"Your Majesty, the noble concubine wishes to see you."
Liu Chan was a little confused, wondering what the imperial concubine was doing again. But the imperial concubine seemed to have asked to see him many times. He had been staying with Ning Cairen before, and was worried that his identity would be easily exposed, so he had not seen the imperial concubine. But since Ning Cai
After Cai Ren stumbled and fell into the water, I didn't seal Cai Ren again. Now it's no longer easy to refuse the imperial concubine's request for an audience, and the Song Dynasty had just won a victory, so I'm not afraid of exposing my identity. What, you said my identity was exposed?
I'll beat him to death, believe it or not.
But after all, she is a noble concubine, so she should be given some face. Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "Stop the singing and dancing, clean this place carefully, and let me change my clothes."
Wu stood outside the palace without saying a word. Ning Cai, who had been proud before, suddenly fell into the water. Of course Wu Guifei knew what was going on. It seemed that His Majesty's thoughts were still unclear. So how should she mention it to His Majesty?
As for that matter, Concubine Wu sighed secretly in her heart.
When the palace maid opened the door and invited Wu to come in, Wu walked into the palace slowly and saw His Majesty sitting in the middle of the palace, not showing any signs of corruption. However, the smell of wine and the fragrance of women in the room could not deceive anyone.
He sighed slightly from the bottom of his heart and flexed his body slightly: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"The noble concubine, please wake up. I wonder what the concubine is here for." Liu Chan said, Liu Chan still respects women very much. After all, the women of the Han Dynasty are too wild. In the early Han Dynasty, Empress Lu came to dominate the court, and the empress dowager and the queen dowager suppressed the imperial power.
Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, and Emperor Wu, all of the famous emperors in history, were suppressed by the harem. Just look at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to see how ruthless this suppression can be. In the last years of the Han Dynasty, in order to avoid the situation of the harem interfering in politics, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
When dying, the mother was killed to leave the son. Therefore, women in the harem of the early Han Dynasty were not to be messed with. As for the later Han Dynasty, it was even more outrageous. There were countless empress dowagers who interfered in politics. In the Han Dynasty, concubines in the harem were allowed
Sharing political power with the emperor. It can be said that those in the harem compete not for favor, but for the world!
In addition, you don’t think they will fight against cholera, do you? In fact, these queen mothers seem to have done a pretty good job. Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, the status of women was also very high. There were not a few who dared to beat their husbands.
Not to mention, there was one in Liu Chan's palace, but this is all in the past, in the past.
Seeing that the contempt in Liu Chan's eyes was no longer there, Wu felt a little good in her heart, but also a little heartbroken: "I heard that your Majesty now advocates the Northern Expedition, and that General Yue who is far in the north defeated Jin Wushu?"
Liu Chan said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this news would reach the harem. That's it. Yue Fei did not let me down. This battle was a happy one. He defeated Jin Wushu all the way to Bianliang and helped us in the Song Dynasty."
He let out a fierce breath." Actually Liu Chan didn't know how good Yue Fei's performance was, but it didn't stop him from bragging. After all, the ministers in the court looked like that, so bragging was enough.
Wu glanced at Liu Chan cautiously, and seeing Liu Chan's happy face, she asked quietly: "Your Majesty, why not use this great victory to exchange royal family members with the Jin Kingdom."
Liu Chan suddenly became a little unhappy. Why did even the imperial concubine want to replace Huizong's coffin? Why did the people in his harem care about the late emperor? However, he didn't want to be angry. He just said indifferently: "It's just a dead man. Let's wait until later.
."
This is a bit disrespectful, but who makes Liu Chan unhappy? After all, he is the emperor of the Song Dynasty now.
But who would have thought that Wu was so shocked that her tears suddenly turned red: "The Queen has passed away?"
"Queen?" Liu Chan asked doubtfully, what does this have to do with the queen? Shouldn't the queen be in the middle palace? But it seems that he has never seen the queen. Could it be that he has not established a queen? But Wu just said, suddenly,
Liu Chan's memory was touched, and there was an unbearable memory deep in the memory. Seeing this memory, Liu Chan's breathing gradually became thicker, and his whole body exuded a frightening aura.
His breathing became heavier and heavier, and finally Liu Chan couldn't bear it anymore. He immediately slapped the table and stood up. His queen was actually kidnapped in the Kingdom of Jin and has been suffering in the Kingdom of Jin for so many years. This is really...
No one can bear it.
Liu Chan's cannibalistic eyes frightened all the palace maids and eunuchs in the room to kneel down and did not dare to speak. Even the Wu family did not dare to look directly. Liu Chan picked up the sword that had been hanging on the wall and angrily said: "Come here, take it.
Han Shizhong calls me to the study!"
It was also the first time for Wu to see the emperor so angry, and she was a little at a loss. She had always felt that the current emperor was an extremely cold-blooded emperor, or a very cowardly emperor, a man who could not even protect his wife.
To protect the world. However, this is the first time she has seen His Majesty so angry.
After all, the current emperor is not Zhao Gou, but Liu Chan. In the Han Dynasty, if such a thing happened, one would have to fight tooth and nail. If the queen of a country was kidnapped by the enemy, it would be extremely humiliating for the emperor. The Han Dynasty could not be more humiliated.
During the dynasty, the Huns had never dared to do this. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Cao Cao insulted Zhang Xiu's aunt, Zhang Xiu directly launched an army and killed Cao Cao's favorite general Dian Wei and his eldest son Cao Ang.
Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Wu wanted to persuade her, but before she could finish her words, she was glared at by Liu Chan, and she didn't dare to say anything anymore. Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "Concubine, please go down first. I'll go find you after I finish handling the matter."
You." As he said this, he ignored Wu and walked directly to the study with his sword in hand.
