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 had caused harm to the country and the people!
He smiled at Gao Qiu, who bowed his head in silence, and asked in an affable manner: "Captain Gao, do you agree with Wang Shaozai's advice, or do you agree with Academician Cai's advice?"
When Gao Qiu was attacked by Zhao Guan's family, he knew that he could not hide.
He immediately kowtowed, and then looked up at the smiling Zhao Guan's house.
Gao Qiu thought quickly. He usually has a good personal relationship with Wang Fu, and he has a very good relationship with the Grand Master Cai Jing. Now, Wang Fu and Cai Jing's eldest son Cai You are facing each other tit for tat, and Zhao Guan's family asked me to take sides. This is really embarrassing for me.
.
Although Cai You is the eldest son of Grand Master Cai, the father and son had already broken up half a year ago. It is said that when Cai You moved out of Grand Master Cai's residence, Cai Jing cursed Cai You and said, "I don't have a rebellious son like you!" p>
Gao Qiu weighed it again. If the officials present donated one-tenth of their wealth as required by Zhao Guan's family, then the tens of millions of dollars of family wealth that he had accumulated with so much painstaking effort after holding a high position for nearly twenty years would be lost in vain.
Lost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Gao Qiu's original intention was to support Wang Fu. It would be best for Zhao Guan's family to take back their orders and stop exploiting their official family wealth.
The clever Gao Qiu felt that at this time, he should stand with his master Zhao Guan's family.
Gao Qiu had three masters, but only the Zhao Guan family treated him the best, and he and the Zhao Guan family were very close to each other. When Gao Qiu was young, he worked as a "little history" (little secretary) for Su Shi, and Su Shi recommended Gao Qiu to his friends.
Wang Shen (also known as Jinqing), the Taiwei of Xiaowangdu.
Gao Qiu was a well-behaved man, eloquent, and good at copying and writing. He not only wrote beautiful calligraphy, but also had a certain foundation in poetry and poetry. He could also use a gun and a stick, and he was also a good footballer. He was quite good at playing football.
With Wang Shen's respect, some important errands were handed over to Gao Qiu.
In the third year of Yuanfu (1100), Wang Shen, who had gone down to court, said to Gao Qiu: "Before going to court, King Duan forgot to bring his grate knife, so he borrowed one from me to repair his sideburns. King Duan liked this very much.
Rhinoceros Grate Knife.
There are two rhino-horn grate knives like this in my house. You can send this unused rhinoceros-horn grate knife to Prince Duan's house."
Gao Qiu went to Prince Duan's Mansion to deliver the knife. By chance, Prince Duan Zhao Ji was playing football in the garden and was invited to play football with him.
Gao Qiu's superb skills shocked everyone, and Duan Wang Zhao Ji was full of praise. Later, Duan Wang Zhao Ji begged Wang Shen to give Gao Qiu, who had given him the grating knife, to him as well. From then on, Gao Qiu became Duan Wang Zhao Ji's confidant.
What's even more coincidental is that Emperor Zhezong of the Song Dynasty died soon after, and Prince Duan was fortunate enough to be chosen by the Queen Mother to succeed him, becoming the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. And Gao Qiu, an "old official" who had caught the last train to the late Song Dynasty, also had great luck.
From a playmate of an idle prince, he jumped into the officialdom of the Song Dynasty and rose rapidly in the officialdom.
Gao Qiu thought about it and decided that he should be on the side of Zhao Guan's family.
However, if he sides with Zhao Guan's family, he will lose millions of wealth.
After all, Gao Qiu knew that most of his family wealth was used to occupy good land in the Forbidden Army camp and build private houses. He directly asked him to spend millions of money, which was equivalent to emptying out most of his cash savings.
.
Gao Qiu reported: "My minister Gao Qiu disagrees with the suggestions of Wang Shaozai and Academician Cai.
My minister, Gao Qiu, agrees with the official’s suggestion and asks our subjects to donate one-tenth of their family wealth to the national treasury.”
"Uh?!" Zhao Ji didn't expect that Gao Qiu would actually agree to donate.
Gao Qiu added: "However, our subjects should donate one-tenth of their wealth to the national treasury, and all mansions should be destroyed.
Otherwise, all our subjects will be in debt!"
After hearing Gao Qiu's statement, the ministers started talking again and agreed with Gao Qiu's proposal.
Some civil servants even said that when calculating family wealth, one should not only exclude the residence, but also all kinds of expenses, and then calculate the family wealth...
The scene was chaotic.
Zhao Ji was furious. He recalled that when he left the palace, he saw many Forbidden Army barracks in the capital. They were using the Forbidden Army as labor force to build large houses. He also inquired privately and found out that it was Taiwei Gao Qiu who invaded the barracks.
Build yourself a private house without permission!
Zhao Ji combined his knowledge of the history of the late Northern Song Dynasty as a time traveler: Taiwei Gao Qiu was the highest military officer in the dynasty. He only tried to please the emperor in every possible way, catered to the good reputation of the officials and was greedy for merit, and he played tricks on military training. Moreover, Gao Qiu "invaded the military camp to expand his private territory, and occupied more of the Imperial Army to serve at full strength", which led to the "lax discipline" and "unrepair of military and political affairs" in the Imperial Army, so that when the Jin soldiers attacked, the Imperial Army dispersed in a hurry
……
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji, whose anger was simmering in his heart, said angrily: "What a great Lieutenant Gao, it's strange that you want to exclude the property in addition to the family property. It's because you have invaded the military camp and built too many private properties."
Right?
Someone came, tied up Gao Qiu, and escorted him to Dali Temple.
Let Dali Temple examine the matter of Gao Taiwei’s invasion of the military camp, the use of the imperial army as a force, and the construction of a private residence for him!"
