Is this normal? Jiang Daoyan said coldly: "As the commander of Budu, you mobilize the army without authorization. Is this normal?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Let me ask Jiang Yushi a little question first. If I transfer my soldiers from the huts to the school grounds, does this fall within the scope of my commander's authority?"
What does this guy think of my palace? Either his butt or his hut. Song Huizong frowned and said, "Li Qi, if you have something to say, don't talk about such insignificant things."
Li Qi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the innocence of a minor minister. Please ask your Majesty to let Jiang Yushi answer the questions of the subordinates."
Jiang Daoyan was filled with doubts. After losing two battles in a row, he had to cheer up and deal with it calmly. In fact, he still had the upper hand in this gamble. The key was to be able to deny Li Qi's crime. As long as he was able to deny Li Qi's crime, as long as he was guilty of any of the last two crimes.
If it is established, then Li Qi will definitely follow in Wang Fu's footsteps, and his fault will naturally be eliminated.
Song Huizong simply said: "Let me answer this question for Jiang Aiqing. As the commander of the capital, of course you have this power."
"With these words from the emperor, I feel relieved." Li Qi chuckled and said, "I have been an official for a short time, but I don't know how to be an official, and I have offended many people because of this. I have been learning from this.
, but I still keep some basic rules in mind. The privy envoys have the power to send troops, but they have no power to command them; the three yamen have the power to command troops, but they have no power to send troops. Jiang Yushi, I don’t know if I have
Wrong?"
Jiang Daoyan said: "Since you know, then you know the law and break the law, and you should be punished by one level."
"You have to make it clear now that you are only accusing, not convicting, so there is no way to accuse you of a higher crime. Be careful, I will sue you for slander." Li Qi smiled, glanced at the ministers, and said: "The so-called
The command of the troops is to arrange and supervise the daily training of the soldiers. I have always abided by the law and never crossed the line or exceeded the rules. Take this incident as an example. At that time, I just learned from Ji Minren
When I learned that when he colluded with Xixia, he happened to meet General Zhe Kecun who was ordered to go to Lanzhou for rescue. Only then did I know that Xixia had gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses at the border of Lanzhou. At that time, I only had one idea, that is, Lanzhou does not tolerate mistakes, even if it means fighting hard.
I lost my life. Therefore, even though I only had 2,000 troops with me at the time, I did not hesitate to rush to Lanzhou for rescue with General Zhe. If you say that I am nosy, then I will admit it."
This guy really got a bargain and behaved well. Song Huizong smiled and said: "Ai Qing made a quick decision and did a very good job."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Li Qi cupped his hand and continued: "When we arrived at Lanzhou, General Zhe immediately deployed defenses and built Lanzhou into an iron wall. If Xixia dares to invade, he will never come back -
-."
Cai You suddenly said: "The economic envoy seems to have forgotten the Zhong family army."
"Oh, yes, yes, there is also the Zhong Family Army led by the Grand Duke." Li Qi pretended to suddenly realize, and said: "Actually, the Zhong Family Army also played a role in the plan to capture Ji Minren, but it was the Emperor at the time.
The Zhong Family Army was allowed to come to Fengxiang to help me, so I acted according to orders. It was not illegal, and the Emperor can testify on my behalf."
Song Huizong nodded with a wry smile. In fact, he had already expected that Li Qi would definitely drag him into the water.
Jiang Daoyan also saw through Li Qi's intentions, fearing that he would use the emperor's power to defend himself, so he hurriedly said: "I also understand the situation at that time. It is not your fault that the incident happened suddenly, but the Zhejia Army in Fuzhou and the Yan'an Prefecture
The Zhong Family Army suddenly sent out troops at the same time, how do you explain this?"
"send troops?"
Li Qi took a deep breath of cold air, spread his hands and said, "I don't know when they will send out troops!"
Cai You said: "The evidence for this matter is conclusive, and I can testify for Jiang Yushi."
Although Jiang Daoyan had no friendship with Cai You, Cai You was the privy envoy after all, and his position was very important. With Cai You's help, his confidence doubled, and he said: "The three armies are dispatched at the same time. Who do you think you can hide?"
"The three armies are dispatched at the same time. This situation does exist, but there is a difference between dispatching and dispatching troops." Li Qi said with a smile: "Dispatching troops means sending troops to participate in the war, but dispatching means starting to take action. If it is the former, then the Zhejia Army will
He and Zhong Jiajun are obviously in violation, but the latter is not, so the difference between the two is huge."
This trick again? You have used it just now. Jiang Yushi felt a chill in his heart and hummed: "You can stop chewing words here. You don't have to teach me this."
Yes, it’s this trick again, but it’s good as long as it’s easy to use. Don’t worry about me! Li Qi chuckled and said, “They destroyed the Zhong Family Army. The Zhong Family Army did indeed dispatch, but it was just an exercise, not a troop dispatch. Although I also
The imperial army was sent to participate, but this is within my scope of authority. Don't I have the power to command an envoy without even having the power to train the army? Haha, if this matter needs to be approved by the Privy Council, then I really don't know.
Who is exceeding the limit?"
"exercise?"
Jiang Daoyan and Cai You exclaimed at the same time.
Li Qicuo said in astonishment: "Isn't it true? Otherwise, what would you think it was?"
Interesting, interesting. If you don't know how to be an official, then no one will understand. Li Bangyan and others all smiled. In this way, Cai You's army was defeated. After all, the Privy Council did not have a unified army.
The power of soldiers.
The corner of Song Huizong's mouth raised slightly and he said: "What exactly is going on? Please tell me everything quickly and don't keep trying to keep it secret."
"yes."
Li Qi said sternly: "But when we were in Lanzhou, General Zhe Kecun repeatedly praised Wei Chen for leading the army well, saying that our Forbidden Army was indeed the most elite army in the Song Dynasty, and also talked about the new training and new weapons of our Forbidden Army.
Very interested. Wei Chen thought at that time that our imperial army lacked experience, and the Zhe family army and Zhong family army were both capable of recruiting and fighting. Our new training method could also help them improve their discipline and could complement each other very well. In this case,
Why not have a joint exercise among the three armed forces? So we hit it off and had that exercise, wouldn’t this also work?”
Jiang Daoyan hummed: "Then you really know how to choose a place."
Li Qi sneered and said: "I wonder what Jiang Yushi means by this? It's very confusing for me! Our army of the Song Dynasty is conducting exercises in the Song Dynasty. Is it possible that we have to look at the faces of outsiders? Let alone the exercises, I just give a shit.
Okay. Moreover, the Zhejia Army and Zhongjia Army are conducting exercises within their own jurisdiction. This is normal. The Privy Council has no right to interfere! Also, the border is usually the starting point of war, but I think it is there.
The exercise is reasonable and beyond reproach. Could it be that the Western Army is still being transferred to the sea to practice naval battles?" As he spoke, he raised his fist towards Song Huizong and said: "Your Majesty, although we are exercising on the border, we all abide by the rules and there is no one.
When people cross the border, whether it's Xixia or Jin, why do they come to question us? Isn't the border our Song Dynasty's territory?"
After hearing this, all the officials lowered their heads and started laughing.
Song Huizong nodded and said with a smile: "You are right, where our army of the Song Dynasty is training. Outsiders have no right to ask, and there is no need to discuss this matter again."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Li Qi stretched out two fingers towards Jiang Daoyan and said with a smile: "Twenty big boards."
Jiang Daoyan was a little panicked now. Success or failure depended on the last crime. He hurriedly said: "You can't deny the battle in Lanzhou. Why don't you report such a big thing to the emperor? Even at this time, the emperor and us They all have only a partial understanding of this matter. What are your intentions?"
Li Qi suddenly burst into laughter.
Jiang Daoyan said angrily: "Why are you laughing?"
Li Qidao: "Yes. I admit that at that time I ordered Yue Fei to lead 3,000 troops to ambush an army of 10,000 people near Lanzhou. But at the time, I did not know that they were the Xixia army, and I thought they were grass bandits. 10,000 people were defeated by 3,000 of our army, and none of them escaped. He still had the nerve to complain. But whether it is true or not, it doesn’t matter. Who said he didn’t have eyesight? What’s wrong with him? Run, wander around in our territory of the Song Dynasty. Even if he comes again with 100,000 people, I will be able to defeat him. Why? I just want to let those people know that my country, the Song Dynasty, is not easy to mess with. Anyone who invades my territory of the Song Dynasty , no matter how far away they are, they will be killed, let alone the neighbors. As for why I didn’t report it to the emperor, it’s very simple, because I was afraid that the military plane would leak it. I remember that when I was in Fengxiang, I sent some confidential letters to the court. Duji Minren ordered people to intercept him, so that he suffered many setbacks at the beginning. The situation was so tense at that time, the two armies were only more than a hundred miles apart, and the war was about to break out. If the enemy knew the true strength of our army, Lanzhou, and even Weizhou, Qingzhou and Hehuang may all be in crisis, and we have to deal with it carefully. If you must say that I am guilty of retreating from the enemy, then I can only plead guilty. But next time, if the enemy suddenly attacks Lanzhou with a forced march, Then I am afraid that the first thing that the generals who defend the city want to think about is not to retreat from the enemy, but to submit a report to explain everything and wait for the decision of the emperor or the Privy Council, and then think about how to retreat from the enemy."
Gao Qiu had already explained that the letter had been robbed. When the ministers heard that Li Qi used this as a reason, they knew that Jiang Daoyan had lost. After all, this reason could help Li Qi get rid of it completely.
Song Huizong asked curiously: "Three thousand troops and horses wiped out the opponent's 10,000 troops?"
Li Qidao: "Reporting to the emperor, I will never dare to say anything false. However, our imperial army also suffered heavy losses, with more than a hundred people killed and injured. Alas, I am guilty!"
Three thousand against ten thousand, only a hundred people were killed or wounded. Is this still a crime? This is clearly asking for credit! All the officials unanimously gave Li Qi two looks of disdain.
Song Huizong was overjoyed when he heard this, and he laughed and said: "Well done. This battle really magnified the power of our Song army." After a pause, he asked again: "Then how did you defeat the enemy by 100,000 men just talking and laughing? ."
Li Qi hehe said: "Reporting to the emperor, as the emperor said, this battle really enhanced the power of our Song army. Not long after, Richard came to Lanzhou to find Wei Chen to explain the matter. I smiled and asked their army to Don't wander around, lest something like this happen again, so their army retreated. Weichen should have retreated a hundred thousand enemies in the midst of talking and laughing."
Of course, Song Huizong knew that it would not be that simple, but considering Li Qi's eloquence, he also thought it was normal. He laughed and said: "Okay. One hundred thousand enemies can be defeated in the middle of talking and laughing." As he said this, he swept his eyes away and looked serious. He said: "Since the incident happened suddenly and the situation was urgent, the economic envoy did not report it for the sake of the overall situation. Moreover, the economic envoy responded to the situation and repelled the enemy. Not only was he guilty, but he was meritorious."
When Jiang Daoyan heard this, his face immediately turned pale. The four major accusations had been refuted by Li Qi one by one, and what followed was the thirty-year plan. The top leader of the Censorship Station was so humiliated. Will he still have the face to see others in the future? That statement
I'm afraid all officials will become dumb officials.
The ministers who had been harmed by them all looked at Jiang Daoyan with smiles in their eyes.
Li Qi blinked at Jiang Daoyan and said happily: "Jiang Yushi---."
Jiang Daoyan was slightly startled. At this point, he knew that he had lost. He turned around and saluted Song Huizong: "Wei Chen is willing to admit defeat and please punish me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qi suddenly raised his hands and said: "Wei Chen asks the emperor to pardon Jiang Yushi for these thirty pieces."
As soon as these words came out, except for Cai Jing and Gao Qiu, everyone else had a look of surprise on their faces. You are the one who wanted to bet. Now that you have won, you don't want to bet. What kind of game is this?
There was a smile on Song Huizong's lips, but he said: "Oh? Why is this?"
Li Qidao: "Your Majesty, the reason why Wei Chen made this bet just now was mainly to allow Wei Chen and Jiang Yushi to debate on an equal footing, rather than because I really wanted to take revenge on Jiang Yushi. In fact, Wei Chen's decision
Traveling. There are indeed many places that are not handled properly. If the task can be completed perfectly, then no one will be caught. The reason is that Wei Chen is not without fault. Although Jiang Yushi has some inappropriate things,
But it is excusable. After all, his starting point is for the sake of the emperor and the Song Dynasty. Since it is for the sake of the emperor, then what does it matter if the minister is a little wronged? Therefore, the minister begs the emperor to remove Jiang Yushi from the three
Top Ten Boards.”
What he said was generous and appropriate, and he showed his loyalty invisibly, which made Song Huizong very happy. He gave Li Qi an admiring look and said: "He is indeed a person whom I value highly. This broad-mindedness alone is enough."
I am very pleased. Well, since you set this bet, you should have the right to be exempted from it. However, Jiang Yushi, what you just said was indeed inappropriate. I thought that even if you were exempted from the punishment, you would not be punished.
We should apologize to the economic envoy."
In fact, Li Qi knew very well that Song Huizong did not want to slap Jiang Daoyan. Moreover, for him, Jiang Daoyan's slap only gave him a little more pleasure in revenge and did not have much effect. He who put interests first naturally had to maximize them.
I understand that Jiang Daoyan's impeachment of him was not deliberately targeting him. If it were Cai Jing, Cai You, Liang Shicheng and others, Jiang Daoyan would have followed suit. And his repeated refutations of Jiang Daoyan had already shocked those officials. If he had
If he continues to be a good person, his image in the hearts of those civil servants will undoubtedly be greatly improved. In comparison, Jiang Daoyan pales in comparison. The most important thing is that when he wins, he has the courage to admit his faults, not only
It leaves room for oneself and can win praise from Song Huizong. Only a fool like Gao Yanei would pursue that trivial pleasure.
Regarding this point, Cai Jing and Gao Qiu knew Li Qi very well. From the beginning, they knew that Li Qi would never really hit Jiang Daoyan. The same would be true for them, unless they could slap Jiang Daoyan.
Beat the opponent to death, otherwise you have to leave room for yourself. However, if you want to leave room for yourself, you must leave room for the other party. You must also leave room for the emperor. This is the way to be an official.
ah.
"This is what the emperor taught you."
Jiang Daoyan bowed towards Song Huizong, and came to Li Qi like a defeated rooster. He closed his eyes lightly, bowed and said: "Jiang just spoke inappropriately and insulted the economic affairs. Jiang is very sorry for this, and also
Please forgive me and don't take it to heart."
Li Qi waited for him to finish speaking, then he pretended to help him up, and said hehe: "No, no, Jiang Yushi is really out of touch. We are ministers in the same palace, so some friction is natural."
Jiang Daoyan took advantage of the opportunity to stand up and whispered: "Don't be too proud. I will never forget where I am because of this small favor. If you have something to do with me next time, I will do it for you."
I will sue you to the main hall, but I will definitely be more prepared next time, and it will never be like today again."
Li Qi nodded with a smile on his face, but whispered: "You can just come here, the person I am least afraid of is my defeated general, I will definitely forgive you next time, after all, my bust---
No, this kind of mind is beyond your comparison."
"I will not forgive you."
"Sorry! You don't have this function, and you won't have this opportunity."
Just as the two were exchanging words, they suddenly heard a sharp voice, "Retreat!"
Li Qi was suddenly startled and turned around to see Song Huizong getting up and walking away without saying a word.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Damn! What are you doing? I haven’t even received the reward yet, and you ran away. You must be stingy. Li Qi left Jiang Daoyan and rushed forward and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the ministers and I still have this report!"
Song Huizong glanced at him slightly out of the corner of his eye, snorted softly, and strode out of the hall. (To be continued...)
