Chapter 72 Gao Qiu, I recognized you at a glance, you bastard
The time traveler Zhao Ji knows that Wang Fu and Cai Jing’s eldest son Cai You are both treacherous ministers. The strife between treacherous ministers is even more interesting!
Cai You continued: "My minister, Cai You, believes that Wang Shaozai has been greatly favored by the emperor. Now that the country is in need of money, we only need scholar-bureaucrats like us to donate one-tenth of our family wealth, which is right!
However, Wang Shaozai took the lead in rebutting and uttered treasonous and arrogant words, 'Now the officials want to exploit the scholar-bureaucrats for the first time and forcefully take one tenth of the wealth of our officials. Isn't this what the Mingjun and the Holy Lord did?!'
How dare Wang Shaozai slander the official family!
The minister Cai You believes that the officials should punish Wang Shaozai for slandering the officials!"
Wang Fu, who was of Hu origin, turned red when he heard this, and his two big golden eyes were so angry that they almost popped out of their sockets at what Cai You said.
Wang Fu has always been very eloquent and good at sophistry.
He immediately started to say: "I, the king Fu, are just talking about things. What crime do you have?"
Zhao Ji smiled meaningfully and said loudly: "Wang Shaozai, I didn't say that because of your remonstrance this time, I wanted to punish you for loving you?
It’s just that Academician Cai is overly worried, and his impeachment of Wang Shaozai is too harsh.”
After hearing what Zhao Guanjia said,
Cai You was speechless,
Wang Fu was very proud...
However, Zhao Ji knew in his heart that Wang Fu, you are certainly not guilty in the Song Dynasty when you are voicing your opinions. Taizu had three ancestral precepts when he founded the country, one of which was "Do not kill scholar-officials and those who write letters and comment on matters";
However, the reason why I want to deal with you, Wang Shaozai, is definitely not because of your remonstrance, but because I have allowed Yushi Cao Fu to collect a lot of evidence of your crimes in the past two days.
Originally, Zhao Ji had his own plan, and wanted the officials to arrest Wang Fu and other corrupt officials alone after visiting Gen Yue.
However, now that Wang Fu has "jumped back" for some reason, it is the best time to attack him here.
In this way, not only can we eliminate the scourge of traitors in the country, but we can also intimidate all officials and establish my prestige. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
However, Zhao Ji also wanted to use Wang Fu's advice to catch bigger fish.
He turned his gaze to Taiwei Gao Qiu, who was bowing his head and saying nothing at the front.
I saw that Gao Qiu was nearly fifty years old, with a medium build and looked quite strong.
Today, Gao Qiu also knew that Lin Lingsu was imprisoned by Zhao Guan's family, so he came here in public clothes.
Gao Qiu wears a long-winged official hat, a purple robe with a curved collar and long sleeves, a horizontal train, a leather belt around his waist, and dengue boots.
Of course, if the leather belt and jade hook tied around Gao Qiu's waist was not given by Zhao Ji's original owner earlier, then Gao Qiu would have overstepped his bounds.
However, this leather belt with jade hooks was given to him by the emperor. Not only was it not transgressive when he tied it around his waist, it actually showed the noble and pure meaning of "the minister is loyal to the emperor, and the emperor loves his ministers".
Gao Qiu has a long, sharp face like a knife, sharp cheeks, narrow eyebrows and narrow eyes.
The mustache on his mouth is not thick, and the beard on his chin is also quite sparse.
At first glance, Zhao Ji felt that Gao Qiu looked like a treacherous and sycophantic face! You can describe Gao Qiu's appearance vividly as "his appearance is not good enough"!
In the history that Zhao Ji is familiar with, why was Gao Qiu able to be rich and powerful for twenty-sixty-seven years, and why was he able to die a good death in the first year of Jingkang?
Before traveling through time, Zhao Ji had nothing to do and even looked through photo books.
He does not completely believe in the superstitious view of photo books, but at the very least, he agrees with the view that "photographs come from the heart".
Zhao Ji looked at Gao Qiu carefully and found that Gao Qiu's face shape was not outstanding.
However, Gao Qiu looked at his long, pointed face.
A pair of narrow eyes but sharp gaze,
The bridge of the nose is high and the wings of the nose are wide;
The cheekbones are high and horizontally long, like two mountains rising above the flat ground.
In terms of physiognomy: "
A straight and big nose means you are richest in the world.
The cheekbones are horizontally long and dominate one side.
The eyes are fierce and powerful,
Holding a high position of real power."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Zhao Ji secretly sighed:
Gao Qiu has an ordinary, pointed face, but in his facial features there are three signs of wealth!
No wonder Gao Qiu was able to continue to have good fortune and occupy the high position of Taiwei, who held military power throughout the Song Dynasty.
Of course,
The time traveler Zhao Ji saw Gao Qiu for the first time today.
Zhao Ji secretly said: "Gao Qiu, I recognized you at a glance, you bastard!"
He was able to find Gao Qiu among many ministers so quickly because of the remaining memory of the original owner of his body.
Moreover, the memory of the original owner of this body in Zhao Ji's mind has great trust in Gao Qiu, and he has a high favorability, and he can be called one of the best confidants...
However, the time traveler Zhao Ji had read the novel "Water Margin" when he was still in elementary school, and had long known that Gao Qiu was a treacherous minister.
Moreover, according to what is written in "Water Margin", Gao Qiu had no son, so he adopted his nephew as his adopted son. His adopted son was the notorious Gao Yanei.
At the Dongyue Temple, Gao Yanei fell in love with Zhang, the beautiful young lady of the family of Lin Chong, the gun and stick instructor of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army in the capital, and molested her in broad daylight. Fortunately, Lin Chong got the report from the maid and rushed to the scene in time to stop Gao Yanei.
If you want to do what an overlord does with a bow...
After that, there is a familiar story. The leopard-headed Lin Chong was framed by Gao Qiu and his men many times. He "accidentally entered the White Tiger Hall" and the "Fengxue Mountain Temple", was forced to fall into the Liangshan Mountains, and was killed by Wang Lun...
However,
As a time traveler who is a top student in the history department of the university, Zhao Ji knows that "Water Margin" is a novel, and most of the plots in the novel were made up by the author in order to make the story exciting.
In real history, Gao Qiu did not have an adopted son, Gao Yanei. Gao Qiu's three biological sons are all alive and well. They are all in their twenties and thirties this year. They are all considered high-ranking officials among their peers.<
/p>
The only true description of Gao Qiu in "Water Margin" is that Gao Qiu was a traitorous minister.
Moreover, in real history, the extent of Gao Qiu's traitorous deeds and harm to the country is thousands of times worse.
After Zhao Ji found the bastard Gao Qiu, he felt that it was much easier to deal with. It was time to deal with the traitorous officials who were causing harm to the country and the people!

[ps: Thanks to the two readers vv, ovo, a and a for their rewards today.
Well deserved!
I wanted to write a few more chapters to repay the favor,
However, I usually like official history,
I was too serious when I was writing a historical novel. I checked a lot of information. If my hand speed was a little slower, it took me over three hours to code this chapter, and I stayed up until the early hours of the morning. I’m so ashamed!
Once again, thank you to two readers, vv, ovo, a and a, for their rewards.
Although I am interested in writing books, I will try my best to write faster in the future and add a few more chapters every day!]
