Chapter 594 A generation of famous generals! Yingjie promoted by the right traitor
(Thank you for the reward from the two heroes of Gale Wind Xiaochuangchuang and Master Love You So Much this week...)
Bianjing Palace Commandery Mansion, inside the White Tiger Festival Hall.
Just after hearing the official report from the Chengdu Bureau that not only Xiao Tang returned to the capital in full swing, but also Wang Jin, who had resigned due to illness, also returned to Bianliang City. Gao Qiu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes twice, and his face was full of violence. Angry, he gritted his teeth and said: "This kid Xiao Tang is really a disaster. The Tatars in Liaodong didn't even kill him, but actually taught him to come back again! And Wang Huan, Han Cunbao, a man who had done this in anger, actually dared to If you go to compliment Xiao Tang without looking at me, you clearly don't take me into consideration!"
He also thought that at that time, he still wanted to make the instructor's family happy, so he tried his best to persuade the court to grant Xiao Tang an official title. .
Because Gao Qiu is very aware of the nature of officials, such a big mistake has been made. As for the posthumous title of "Wu Jing" that was not awarded to the surviving court officials, he will naturally have to take back other posthumous positions. If the founding Marquis followed Zhao Ji's very capricious habit of granting favors to his favorite ministers, and on the premise that Xiao Tang had not offended Zhao Ji's taboos, if he withdrew all the rewards for his considerate ministers, then it would be unavoidable that he would appear to be the emperor of the Song Dynasty. He was so petty, so there was a high probability that the officials would simply promote him according to the original promotion and retain all the positions that Xiao Tang had been granted.
According to the posthumous official positions conferred on Xiao Tang, the post of the Military Envoy of the Xin'an Army was only a false one, but the signing of the Privy Council was a real job. Although Gao Qiu was in charge of the palace, there were commanding envoys in front of him, and Ma Junsi, the bodyguard of the pro-army. , the Guards and Infantry Division all belong to the emperor's personal troops in the capital, but the Privy Council has the power to control the military and state affairs, responsible for the military and border preparations of the entire Song Dynasty, recruitment and examination, relocation, rewards and punishments and other matters, while Xiao Tang, who held the important position of signing the Privy Council affairs from the second rank, was definitely able to speak in the Privy Council.
The Song Dynasty indeed valued literature over military affairs. In the Privy Council, important positions such as Privy Envoy and Deputy Privy Envoy were basically filled by civil servants, except for the famous generals such as Di Qing, the general who had died in the past. Military power and other purposes were only held by famous generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong). If Xiao Tang was really simply granted the title of Privy Councilor by the officials, it could almost be said to be the highest position that a military general could achieve in the Privy Council.
When the Song Dynasty deploys troops abroad, the generals assigned to the Imperial Palace Division may not always be able to stay in the capital as capital officials. Once they are transferred to Bianting or other state capital commanders, the generals of the imperial army in Bianliang City will have to watch. It's not Gao Qiu's wink, but he must be extremely careful and never offend Xiao Tang easily.
Could it be that Xiao Tang, that yellow-tongued boy, had already made up his mind to bring back Wang Jin when he saw the Holy Emperor's grace? This was not only aimed at me, but also to demonstrate to the generals in the entire Bianjing Forbidden Army who followed my lead... What's more, now that the Holy Emperor intends to teach Zheng Juzhong and know the Privy Council again, and Tong Guan is in the Privy Council, the power in the Western Army is also growing day by day. Those high officials in the court and Xiao Tang have not become enemies, and their attitudes towards each other even seem to be normal. Very ambiguous...
After all, Gao Qiu was somewhat politically sensitive. The more he thought about it, the longer he became. If Xiao Tang really reached a mutually supportive relationship with Zheng Juzhong, Tong Guan and others, those predators in the DPRK and China would be inferior to Lin Chong and Yang. Are these low-ranking officers going to fight Tong Guan just because he has a grudge against Xiao Tang? Maybe the one who will be hit with a bloody head will be him, the third officer in front of the palace!
We must persuade the Holy Admonition to take back all the official positions that were granted to Xiao Tang! How can we let him take advantage of this huge advantage again!? Let him continue to grow bigger, and given time, I am afraid that guy will be able to
The Bianjing Forbidden Army is fighting against me!
Gao Qiu was just thinking and cursing at the same time. At this time, the threat from Xiao Tang was enough to make him panic. He was really slapping himself in the face, which made Xiao Tang very likely to break the rules again.
The person who was promoted was Gao Qiu. This also made Gao Qiu, who was born as a scoundrel, so angry that he cursed in the palace commander's house. His foul language was completely different from the fairy-like demeanor he had in front of Song Huizong.
appearance.
Seeing his master cursing like a scoundrel in the White Tiger Festival Hall, he didn't mind at all that there were other subordinates present. Sun Jing, Gao Qiu's staff, couldn't help but frowned, but he also knew that Gao Qiu had shot him with a rock.
He's angry right now, so it's not a good time to get into trouble with him again.
What's more, Sun Jing is also at a loss now. Although he is asked to make plans to trap the officials and suppress his colleagues, Xiao Tang, who has just returned to Bianjing, is in the spotlight. Both the officials and the common people in the capital are concerned.
All attention is focused on him. It is definitely the most unwise thing to provoke Xiao Tang at this time.
When Sun Jing shook his head and sighed secretly, when he turned his head and looked in the opposite direction, he saw Chen Xizhen also staring at Gao Qiu's hysterical curses in the hall, and there was a clear sneer at the corner of his mouth.
That guy Xiao Tang is indeed a scourge that must be eliminated, but this guy from the second year of high school... in the final analysis is just a sycophant who made his fortune by catering to the officials. His naughty face back then has now been revealed for what it is.
.
Chen Xizhen secretly cursed Gao Qiu in his heart, and there were still several officers and generals sitting in the White Tiger Festival Hall. Judging from their expressions, they did not seem to have much respect for Gao Qiu. Those people were the same people Chen Xizhen had used at that time.
Gao Qiu advised Gou Huan, Gou Ying, Zhen Xianglin, and Fan Chenglong, who were personally persuaded by Chen Xizhen in order to recruit more capable people to work for him. They were originally from Yuanbi Village in Yizhou.
leader.
Gou Huan, Gou Ying and others, especially Fan Chenglong, originally despised Gao Qiu, but Chen Xizhen knew the benefits and was not willing to just be a strong man in the green forest for the rest of his life, so he followed Chen Xizhen and joined him.
In the Palace Commander's Mansion, it was obvious that Chen Xizhen was the only one they truly obeyed. Although they were all assigned by Gao Qiu, now they couldn't help showing contempt on their faces when they saw Gao Qiu's vulgar and despicable behavior.
.
It's just that Gao Qiu Rao was born as a gangster, but he was a very well-known gangster in the city. Although Chen Xizhen and others were outwardly obedient to him, Gao Qiu was vaguely aware of their attitudes.
Officials are most afraid of having a single family dominate the court. Even though I need you, Chen Xizhen, I still have to get rid of Xiao Tang, because you are the only capable person I can rely on in the palace.
After venting his anger, Gao Qiu suppressed himself. He also knew that just by being here, he would scold the eighteenth generation of Xiao Tang's ancestors, but he could not be hurt at all. Gao Qiu looked at him coldly, and the expression on his face suddenly changed.
Chen Xizhen, who was humble and submissive, snorted coldly in his heart and said: In order to gain access to the power of the Imperial Guards in Bianjing, Tong Guan also intends to marry Xiao Tang, who is favored by the officials. But I still have the power in Bianjing.
The people who have the military power of the third yamen and are able to be used by me are not just the domestic slaves in the palace commander's house?
At this time, another official entered the White Tiger Festival Hall and reported to Gao Qiu: "Your Majesty Taiwei, Commander Liu has summoned Meng Xun, and he is now waiting outside the hall."
Gao Qiu breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay, call him in."
Human nature is complex. If we have to pick out some advantages from Gao Qiu, who relied on favors for selfish purposes and excluded dissidents, it would be that Gao Qiu was very kind to his old friends who were kind to him, especially to his old friends who had helped him a lot in his career. Huaixi Lin
Liu Shiquan of Huaizhou once took in Gao Qiu, who was exiled from the army. Now, with Gao Qiu's arrangement, the Liu family, which was originally a gambling house, has become a hegemon in Huaixi. The great writer Su Shi once introduced Gao Qiu to Taiwei Mansion, the capital of Xiaowang.
He then moved to the palace of Prince Zhao Jiduan, who had not yet ascended the throne, thus starting Gao Qiu's path to prosperity. Therefore, Gao Qiu took great care of the children of the Su family and never neglected to provide pension money and silk...
And now Commander Liu is here to meet Gao Qiu. Back then, Gao Qiu was serving as a military supervisor on the border expedition, but even though he had not made any achievements, he still relied on his merits to become the official and commander of the imperial army. To a large extent, he also relied on him.
Look at this heroic general of the Western Army.
Gao Qiu did not forget to repay the favor, because Commander Liu Jiedu was indeed brave and good at fighting. In addition, Gao Qiu spoke well of him in front of the officials, so Commander Liu was exhausted due to his many side effects.
In Dayi, not only did he command the military power of Xining Prefecture, the Longyou Protectorate, but he was also promoted to the commander of the three divisions in front of the palace, Zhonglong, and the second guard of Shen.
Commander Liu summoned Gao Qiu and strode into the White Tiger Festival Hall. He saw that he was very angry and about eight feet tall. From his expression and temperament, he could tell that he was a veteran general with long experience on the battlefield. As soon as he saw him
Gao Qiu immediately saluted respectfully and said loudly: "Si Long, the infantry guard, and Liu Zhongwu, the commander of the second guard, have met Mr. Taiwei!"
"General Liu, what kind of friendship do you and I have? There is no need to be so polite!"
Gao Qiu, who had been acting crazy and swearing just now, seemed to be smiling like a flower. He stepped forward with a pleasant face and went to help Liu Zhongwu up. At this time, Gao Qiu also noticed that he was with Liu Zhongwu.
The handsome young man who came here was about fifteen or sixteen years old. Not only was he handsome, but he also had a heroic spirit between his brows.
"General Liu, who is this young gentleman...?" Gao Qiu asked Liu Zhongwu again.
Liu Zhongwu respectfully replied to Gao Qiu: "As you know, Mr. Haojiao Taiwei, this is Liu Qi, the son of a dog. Due to the favor of the official family and the promotion of the Taiwei, the unpromoted general was made the commander of the two guards in front of the palace. Therefore,
This time I will wait for Quanzi to come to the capital to have a look. Uncle Xin (a pseudonym of Liu Qi), why don’t you pay your respects to Lord Taiwei again soon."
Liu Zhongwu's son, Liu Qi, suddenly had an unnoticeable look in his eyes, but he still followed his father's instructions and bowed respectfully to Gao Qiu, saying: "Liu Qi, who is born late, comes to see you, Lord Taiwei!"
