From the very beginning, Wang Fu has always been passive against Li Qi, and was overwhelmed by Li Qi repeatedly. However, this does not prove that he is a fool. He is not Cai You, because at that time, he asked Li Qi for help.
This made him timid towards Li Qi and unable to do anything. However, now that he no longer had to rely on Li Qi, he could not hold back his resentment. He had just finished receiving the victory and began to blow the clarion call for counterattack.
Obviously, in this second round of head-to-head confrontation, Li Qi was completely defeated. He was played by Wang Fu so hard that he was in agony.
Even Li Qi had to admire Wang Fu, but he was not the kind of man who would be timid when faced with setbacks. He was already thinking about how to deal with those big landowners. History has proven that it is never wise to go head-on, so he
We have to come up with a compromise, but this is not easy. After all, this has already hurt the foundation of those big landowners. This increase in land tax is simply going to kill these big landowners, because the more land you have, the higher the tax will be.
It is doubled. Of course, this is indeed a great good thing for those farmers.
However, before Li Qi could recover, those ministers started to attack again.
Cai You suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the war in the north has been decided, and the Jin Kingdom has also completely withdrawn its troops. I think that the Song and Jin countries are now brothers-in-law and there is no need to defend each other, so we should also
By withdrawing the army to the north of the Yellow River, this move can, on the one hand, show the Song Dynasty's friendship with the Jin Kingdom, and on the other hand, it can reduce military expenditures."
This---Are you crazy? There is no need to be on guard? Li Qi was immediately stunned.
Wang Fu also stood up and said: "Wei Chen seconded the proposal."
How can this be done? This is undoubtedly to seduce the Jin army to go south, which is really self-destruction. Li Qi could not care about so much, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Wei Chen thinks that this move is absolutely inappropriate, and it is harmful to others."
We must have a heart and guard against others. Yanshan was bought with the blood of our soldiers. Instead of withdrawing our troops, we should consolidate our defense, and Yunzhou and other places have not yet been recovered."
Wang Fu raised his hand and said: "The economic envoys are overly worried. The friendship between Song and Jin is now better than before, and the Jin Kingdom still has to rely on us, the Song Dynasty. How could they risk the disapproval of the world, tear up the alliance, and deal with
It is simply impossible for us to send troops. It is because the economic envoys have no confidence in the economic construction between the two countries. As for Yunzhou and other places, I believe that as long as they capture Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, they will naturally return it. Moreover,
You have to understand that the army is gathered in Yanjing, and tens of thousands of dollars of military pay are transported every year. If they are allowed to return to various state capitals, they can still farm, which will also speed up the economic recovery of the Song Dynasty. It will have a great impact on the economy.
Reform is also of great benefit."
Cai You smiled and said: "What Wang Xiang said is absolutely right. What is the purpose of the economic envoy's opposition in such a hurry?"
What is my intention? That's a good question. In a year or two, you will know what my intention is. Li Qi also felt bitter in his heart. He could never say that the Jin Army would definitely come over. This is unreasonable.
Said: "I just think that the duty of soldiers is to defend the country. If this is not the case, what is the use of having soldiers? Although the war in the north is over, our army does not need to retreat in a hurry. We can build defenses locally and wait for two or three days.
It’s not too late to make plans next year.”
Cai You said: "I didn't say to withdraw them all. We can still send Heshuo's troops to guard Yanjing, but we will just withdraw the additional troops originally sent from various places."
Return the Heshuo Army? You failed to attack Liao twice. The Heshuo Army has long been depleted. The troops were temporarily dispatched from various places. If your mother withdraws them all, there will still be one Mao soldier.
.
Li Qi was so anxious that he almost jumped up and wanted to say more. Song Huizong raised his hand and said: "Li Qi, you don't need to say anything anymore. I think Cai Aiqing's words are reasonable. Now the national treasury can't allocate so much military pay.
Play."
Okay. You stupid kings and ministers are really asking for your own destruction. I really want to see how you die. Li Qi's face was ashen and he couldn't even speak an angry word. At this time in this hall, he really wanted to see how you died.
The feeling is overwhelming. In addition to being disappointed, I am still disappointed.
Cai You said again: "Your Majesty, I have a good general who I want to recommend to your Majesty today."
Song Huizong seemed to already know who it was, and said happily: "It's Pharmacist Guo, General Guo."
Pharmacist Guo? Li Qi's expression suddenly changed. This Pharmacist Guo was extraordinary, he was a very contemporary figure. There is a saying in the history of Jin Dynasty: Pharmacist Guo was a remnant of the Liao Dynasty, a powerful figure in the Song Dynasty, and a hero of the Jin Dynasty. With one
It is unreasonable for him to be a minister and bring disaster and blessing to the Three Kingdoms. It can be seen that he is a capricious villain. He should be the first contributor to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was precisely because of his sudden change that he betrayed the Song Dynasty and defected to the Jin Kingdom.
And because he knew the reality of the Song Dynasty, he led Wanyan Zongwang's army southward, and was able to defeat Bianjing City in one fell swoop.
"Exactly." Cai You said: "When our army attacked Liao, fortunately, the pharmacist understood the righteousness and stepped forward to help, so that our army could seize the two states of Zhuo and Yi without spending a single soldier. Originally, the pharmacist wanted to fight with me yesterday.
We entered the palace together, but the Medicine Master regarded himself as a surrendered minister and did not dare to enter the palace with us to meet the Holy Spirit, so we postponed it until today."
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty exclaimed: "The pharmacist is really unreasonable. Hurry up and announce that the pharmacist Guo has entered the palace."
"Pharmacist Xuan Guo enters the palace."
After a while, a burly man came in. As soon as he entered the palace, Pharmacist Guo fell to the ground and cried: "I am in prison. I heard that Emperor Zhao is in the sky. I don't think I can see the dragon's face today. Tian Zuo, I
Therefore, my lord, the country was broken and I ran away, so I surrendered. It was really an unjust act, but I was forced to have no choice. I hope that the emperor can give me the people of Song Dynasty to farm in Song Dynasty, which is enough."
She burst into tears as she spoke, and it was so touching that Li Qi felt inferior to her in terms of her acting skills.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was greatly moved when he heard this. He personally walked down the steps, helped up Pharmacist Guo, and praised him: "What you did was in obedience to God's will. There is nothing wrong with it. With your help, my country is worry-free. I will seal it now."
As the Grand Tutor, I order you to be given two golden basins and a royal beaded robe."
Wow! This flattery is worth it. Li Qi looked at Pharmacist Guo with a faint smile on his lips.
Pharmacist Guo wanted to kneel down again, and said sadly: "The emperor's kindness is so great, and the guilty minister is unworthy of it."
Song Huizong quickly supported him and said with a smile: "This time our Song Dynasty can achieve such great success in attacking Liao Dynasty, it is because of your great contribution to Ai Qing. If you can't do it, who else can do it? It's all your fault."
It’s worth it.”
Pharmacist Guo burst into tears with gratitude and said, "I am willing to die as retribution."
"good!"
Song Huizong laughed, turned around and returned to the dragon chair, saying: "I heard that Guo Aiqing is from Liaodong. Just as I want to withdraw the army, I will make you a Tongzhi Yanshan Mansion. I hope you will guard Yanyun for me."
Pharmacist Guo's eyes flashed sharply, and he was about to thank him when he suddenly heard someone shout: "Your Majesty, I think this is a waste of General Guo's talent."
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Li Qi who was speaking.
Song Huizong was surprised and said: "Li Qi, why did you say this?"
I will never let the tiger go back to the mountains this time, so just stay in the capital. Li Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, everyone, you should all know that I, Li Qi, have admired General Guo for a long time."
What kind of tricks does this kid plan to do? Gao Qiu and others were confused. Pharmacist Guo also looked at Li Qi with a confused look.
Cai You chuckled and said, "We really don't know where this admiration comes from. The economic envoy and Medical Master Guo have never met."
Li Qi waved his hand and said, "The British public must have never seen The Legend of the Condor Heroes."
"What? The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"
Song Huizong laughed and said: "I don't know something, this Legend of the Condor Heroes is a novel written by Li Qi, and the content in it is very exciting." At this point, he suddenly realized, and he laughed: "I know, Li Qi
, Medicine Master Dongxiehuang in your book is evidence that you admire Medicine Master Guo."
Medicine Master Dongxiehuang? Who is he?
Pharmacist Guo and Cai You looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
Dongxie, I'm so sorry. I'm ashamed of you for being compared with this capricious villain. Li Qi said with a conscience: "Exactly. I heard that General Guo is good at fighting and has always won.
Li Qi admires him as a general."
Pharmacist Guo blushed when he said this, and said sarcastically: "The economic envoy has flattered me, and Guo is too ashamed to deserve it."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Nowhere, no matter where, Guo Yaoshi's military talents are among the best in both the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty. This is beyond reproach."
Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to show favor to me? Cai You glanced at Li Qi suspiciously. He was the one who brought this pharmacist Guo. Li Qi praised him so much, so his intentions have to be doubted!
Song Huizong chuckled and said, "But what did you mean by what you just said?"
Li Qi clasped his fists and said: "I have learned from the painful experience before and feel that what the British Duke and Wang Xiang said is too right. The war in the north has calmed down, and the friendship between the Song and Jin countries is better than before. If the army is stationed in Yanjing, it will only be a waste of money and food."
, Therefore, Wei Chen thinks that sending Pharmacist Guo to Yanshan is undoubtedly a waste of his talents, and we happen to lack talented people with rich experience like General Guo in the Imperial Guards in the capital. Wei Chen has a merciless request. Wei Chen is willing to
I would like to give up the position of commander-in-chief for General Guo, and also ask General Guo to train an invincible imperial army for the capital."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
They never expected that Li Qi would relinquish the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Guards Bu. It seemed that he really admired Medicine Master Guo.
Gao Qiu blew his beard angrily and glared, "Rebellion, rebellion, this kid is really rebelling, he dares to make the decision on such a big matter without authorization. Thinking of this, he suddenly frowned and thought to himself, no, no, within three yamen
The commanders are all the emperor's cronies. How dare the emperor let the newly surrendered Medicine Master Guo lead the imperial army? So what is this kid playing?
Haha. It seems that this guy is just a mediocre guy. Yaoshi Guo is my person. You actually gave him such an important position. God help me. Anyway, if he goes to Yanshan, it will be of no benefit to me. If he can
There is nothing better for me than to stay in the capital and serve as the commander-in-chief. Cai You's calculations in his heart were audible, and he said: "Your Majesty, I think the economic envoy's words are reasonable."
Pharmacist Guo was completely confused. Since he had just arrived in the capital not long ago, he had no idea about the twists and turns here and didn't know what to do.
Song Huizong passed away in a coma, but he was not stupid. The imperial army was an army that could directly threaten his throne. Although he was very kind to Medicine Master Guo, he did not fully trust him and hesitated for a while.
Li Qi struck while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, the Forbidden Army is the most important army of our Song Dynasty, but now the Forbidden Army lacks talents and practical combat experience. If it is not supplemented, it will become a big problem. Every time I think of this, I will
It’s because he is worried, and General Guo’s combat experience is a very good supplement to the Forbidden Army, so Wei Chen is willing to give up the post of Commander-in-Chief, and I hope the Emperor will think twice.”
When Song Huizong heard what Li Qi said was true, he thought that what he said was not unreasonable. Moreover, Medicine Master Guo had such a large army, and most of the soldiers were from Liaodong. He said that if something unexpected happened, then
It is also extremely disadvantageous to me. Why don't I use this to disintegrate his military power? Could it be that Li Qi is also worried about this? Yes, yes, I almost made a big mistake. Fortunately, Li Qi reminded me. Although he had made a decision in his heart, he still
Pretending to be thoughtful for a while, he said: "What Ai Qing said makes sense, but General Guo doesn't know much about the Forbidden Army, so he still needs Ai Qing's help. So, I will temporarily appoint Pharmacist Guo as the deputy commander of the bodyguard.
As for the post of Yanshan Tongzhifu, it is held by General Zhen Wuchen."
Zhen Wuchen was originally an old subordinate of Pharmacist Guo, and later he was subordinated to Liu Yanqing. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty appointed him as the co-president of Yanshan Prefecture. He was also worried that the others would not be able to suppress the victorious army. In this way, Zhen Wuchen was transformed from a subordinate to a subordinate.
How could he not be grateful to Song Huizong when he became the top leader of Yanshan? He should be completely devoted to him. (To be continued.
