Although Gao Qiu saw Liu Qi's heroic nature, he praised Liu Zhongwu and said that he was indeed a tiger father with no dog son. Although Liu Qi showed some courtesy on his face, he felt a faint feeling of disgust in his heart.
Liu Qi followed the instructions of his father Liu Zhongwu and was very respectful to Gao Qiu, but he also had a pair of ears. Ever since Liu Qi arrived in the capital, he had often heard that Gao Qiu, who was born as a rogue, eliminated dissidents in the Bianjing Forbidden Army.
He also allowed his son Gao Ya Nei to commit many evil deeds in Bianjing.
What's more, it was precisely because Liu Qi was the son of Liu Zhongwu that he knew that Gao Qiu was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant of the Third Yamen in an official manner because of his achievements in recruiting and surrendering the Qiang King's tribe, Zang Zhengpu, and recovering the Jishi Army. In fact, all his military exploits were
It was earned by his father who led many soldiers of the Western Army to sacrifice their lives. Just to do a favor for Gao Qiu, a popular figure in the current official family, it was mentioned in the battle report that Chen Gaoqiu was in the battle with the enemy and the rebels.
"If the command is determined" and provided several good strategies to defeat the enemy, we achieved several great victories...
Even though Xiangtong Guan was arrogant and domineering, she had always tried to take control of the Western Army. However, she had some real abilities in leading troops to fight. In addition to pleasing the officials, Gao Qiu was also good at using troops.
A little bit capable?
Now Liu Qi saw that Gao Qiu treated his father Liu Zhongwu with great courtesy, but listening to his words, he could hear that Gao Qiu was hinting that his father and the two men were cooperating with the military departments inside and outside the capital to cooperate sincerely. This also made Liu Qi even more upset.
No hesitation. What is a true hero in the army? He must drive away the enemy, pacify the people, and shed blood. What is a true man in the army? He must protect his family and country with all his heart and soul! He is not a civil servant fighting for power within the party, so why are military athletes like this?
Are you deceitful and secretly forming cliques like corrupt Confucians and sycophants?
But Liu Zhongwu, the father of Liu Qi, once said: The generals in the military camp have been sleeping in the cold wind and cold in the side courtyard for more than ten years, and they have sacrificed their lives more than ten times in the fight. Even if they are scarred all over and countless people are killed in battle, they are not as good as the favored ministers.
The words whispered in the ears of the officials. Only by having the opportunity to make friends with famous people like Gao Qiu, can you seek a higher position in the army. Even if you flatter the high officials in the court, the athletes in the army can still serve the country with loyalty.
Liu Qi could understand the meaning of his father's words, but after coming to Bianjing, Liu Qi came into contact with many generals serving in the front department, but he felt that there was something missing in those people.
That kind of intuition is very strange. Among all the Bianjing imperial officers and generals that Liu Qi, who was born in the Western Army, had met, some had rich experience, some were indeed excellent in martial arts, and some also talked about military strategies.
He was very clear-minded, but compared with the Western Army generals that Liu Qi knew well, he always felt that the generals in the capital, especially those who took orders from Captain Gao in the Palace Commander's Mansion, did not seem to be iron-blooded soldiers. However, now Liu Qi finally
I discovered that most of the generals who were posted in front of most of the palaces in the capital were missing something:
Among the Imperial Guards and Generals in the Imperial Palace, what most of them lack most is their integrity.
After thinking about this, Liu Qi looked at the seemingly mighty and majestic generals in the palace. No matter how he looked at them, they all looked like a group of domestic slaves who guarded Gao Qiu's home and courtyard. The soldier himself was a weakling.
How could he expect these people to protect his family and country? Liu Qi also despised Gao Qiu's character in his heart. It was only because of his father's face that he pretended to be submissive in front of Gao Qiu and his minions.
At this time, Liu Qi heard something in Gao Qiu's words again, and said to his father Liu Zhongwu in a subtle way: "Although Ziwen (Liu Zhongwu's cousin) has received divine grace, he has also been granted the title of commander of the two guards in front of the palace." , you and I have finally become colleagues in the Palace Commander's Mansion, and I am very relieved. However, Ziwen also wants to control the military affairs of the Longyou Protector's Mansion from a distance, and I don't know how long you and I can get along with each other in Bianjing. I am closer. I have been busy with various matters in the palace commander's house for a long time. Alas...if there is any negligence, Ziwen must be considerate."
Hearing this, Liu Zhongwu hurriedly said: "What the Commander-in-Chief said! If it weren't for Xie's promotion, how could the general be as famous as he is today? It's just that the Commander-in-Chief was so favored by the emperor, and now he has the power to control the two divisions and three yamen in front of the palace, as well as the Tokyo Forbidden Army. Generals, they are all the commander-in-chief and they only obey orders, but they don’t know why the commander-in-chief is worried about anything. If I can do my best, I will definitely share the worries for the commander-in-chief!"
"Haha...Besides that one thing, what else can I worry about?"
Gao Qiu Pili Yangqiu laughed, then looked at Liu Zhongwu and said: "Does Ziwen know that Xiao Tang who died in Liao territory a few days ago, but now he has returned to the capital? That Xiao Tangxuan's good life , he received many gifts from the emperor and taught him to become an important minister of the imperial court. However, Xiao Tang was full of arrogance and became increasingly arrogant and rude after receiving the gift from the imperial court. As a Taiwei of the Third Yamen of the Palace Commander's Palace, I was repeatedly attacked. That fellow is guilty! I am just jealous of the official Long Yan, and I have not wanted to argue with him in the past. But as the saying goes, if the law is not strict, there will be no cure. So, I have gradually lost my prestige due to the tiredness of Xiaotang, so how can I not make people laugh? "
"This..." Liu Zhongwu was speechless for a moment. Although he knew that the way to be an official was to have a good shade under a big tree, but he helped Gao Qiu so much that he could shine on his family background. And Liu Zhongwu didn't have any hobbies. Shameless villains who work behind the scenes to frame their colleagues are not just trying to please Gao Qiu, and they will flatter themselves to the point of no limits.
As for the incompatibility between Gao Qiu and Xiao Tang, although Liu Zhongwu had heard about it, he said in his heart that if there were any cronies of Taiwei Gao that he wanted me to take care of, what military exploits would I gain when he fought with the Xia Guoqiang and other tribes? I can give it to him as much as I can. But I am just a general who is good at leading troops in war. Gao Taiwei Xie will not ask me to lead a group of soldiers and horses to the Xiao Mansion. In Bianjing City, the emperor is good at killing important officials of the imperial court. Bar?
But seeing Gao Qiu staring at him with profound eyes, Liu Zhongwu could only cough a few times, and said angrily: "Xiao Tang's son, relying on the favor of the officials, he is so rampant! Unexpectedly! It was also that guy who didn't know how to advance or retreat, which made the palace commander feel unhappy! The palace commander was relieved, and Xiao Tang could only be arrogant for a while. How could the emperor not miss the palace commander's desire to serve the country with fists and fists? Heart?... Well, regardless of whether it is public or private, the commander-in-chief has to do his best to serve you!"
Gao Qiu smiled coldly, what he wanted was Liu Zhongwu's last words. Gao Qiu also knew that Liu Zhongwu, who was born in the Western Army, was from Qiu Ba. How could he use such a reckless man if he wanted to play conspiracy?
Gao Qiu summoned Liu Zhongwu this time, just to make a statement. No matter how powerful Tong Guan is in the Western Army, no matter what status Xiao Tang can get in the court, you must know that your Liu family and I, Gao Qiu, are tied to each other. Grasshopper on a rope, we are all connected. When you need to deal with Xiao Tang, never turn your elbows outward.
When Liu Qi heard what Gao Qiu and his father said, his brows could not help but twist into the Chinese character "Sichuan". At this time, he secretly thought in his heart: So Xiao Tang relied on the official's favor to offend the superior and contradict the superior? But why did I
I heard rumors among the capital that you, Gao Qiu, excluded dissidents and used public weapons for personal use, thereby harming many Bianjing officials and generals who were close friends with Xiao Tang. Gao Qiu obviously had an old grudge against Xiao Tang.
This forced my father to promise to be incompatible with the Xiao and Tang Dynasties. He was a military general who earned his salary from the imperial court and served the country. Gao Qiu only plotted against his colleagues for his own selfish purposes, but he did not think that his methods were too despicable!
However, Liu Qi was also very curious about Xiao Tang. Although Xiao Tang had only conquered the rebel armies a few times, those achievements were simply less than those of the Western Army generals who had been fighting with the Xia people in the side court all year round.
Mention, but a figure known as Ren Xia in the world, he was young but held an important position in the court. What is even more commendable is that Xiao Tang's original official rank was Yuhou, the former Sidu, but he dared to argue with his immediate superior
Gao Qiu's confrontation was completely different from the submissive attitude of other generals in the Bianjing Forbidden Army towards Gao Qiu.
I heard that my husband also admired Xiao Tang very much. It seems that this person must be an extraordinary person... Liu Qi secretly said in his heart: Not to mention that Gao Qiu had a bad relationship with Xiao Tang.
Because Xiaotang's experience has proven that he is a talent that can be developed, and the people in Bianjing City highly respect him, I must meet him to see what Xiao Tang is capable of!
