"What's more, over the years, Lieutenant Gao has also been busy working for the official family for several years. Even if he has no credit, he still has hard work."
"Although Lieutenant Gao's leadership of the army was unfavorable this time, his past achievements cannot be wiped out."
"If this is the case, what should those generals who have been fighting for the imperial court for half their lives think?"
At this time, although Zhao Ji was quite angry in his heart, Gao Qiu was not doing things well.
The dignity of the imperial court was damaged, and the imperial court lost troops and generals.
But when he heard what Cai Jing said, he felt that what he said was very reasonable.
"Then according to Cai Aiqing's meaning..."
Cai Jing frowned slightly and thought to himself for a while.
"In my humble opinion, it would be better to find another opportunity in the future for Captain Gao to make meritorious deeds."
"At the same time, he will be fined for another five years."
"In this way, it not only shows that officials are generous in treating others, but also demonstrates the majesty of our dynasty's laws."
As soon as Cai Jing finished speaking, almost half of the civil and military officials in the court started to echo his words.
Everyone said that Cai Jing's suggestion was reasonable, and at the same time praised Zhao Ji's benevolence, righteousness and wisdom.
After Zhao Ji received a lot of compliments, he waved his hands to the ministers standing below with a smile on his face.
"In that case, let's act according to Cai Aiqing's opinion,"
It was only then that the expression on Gao Qiu's face became a little more relaxed.
A five-year fine was not worth mentioning for a man like him who had so many ways to make money.
Even the officials who came to his house to ask him to do something, the gifts they sent to him at one time were far more than this amount.
So Gao Qiu didn't care at all.
As for whether he should be allowed to find opportunities to redeem his crimes in the future, although he was quite uneasy in his heart.
After all, the fists and kicks of those puddle bandits on Shuibo Liang Mountain are no joke.
But if that time comes, and he selects a few strong generals from the army to go with him, the risk seems to be much smaller.
At worst, next time he won't ask for help, and just lead tens of thousands of officers and soldiers to take water directly to Liangshan.
He didn't believe it. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers faced thousands of bandits. Could it be that they still couldn't win?
Just when Gao Qiu thought that this crisis was completely over.
Behind him, the voice he least wanted to hear came again.
"Lieutenant Gao, although the fact that you lost the battle is over for now."
"But there is one more thing that you still haven't explained clearly to the civil and military ministers and officials of the Manchu Dynasty?"
"Shouldn't you take the initiative to tell us the cause and effect of that incident?"
"After all, many ministers in the DPRK are already aware of this matter, but they just don't know the specific reasons."
"So on behalf of them, I would like to ask Mr. Taiwei, what is the purpose of all this?"
"Under what circumstances did Sir Taiwei make you willing to pay a million ransom and at the same time give up your first wife to those puddle grass bandits?"
"We are all curious. Sir Taiwei, can you tell us something?"
As soon as Kong Youdao said this, the whole court was in an uproar.
Although as Kong Youdao said just now, some ministers in the court already knew about this matter.
But the vast majority of ministers still don't know.
At the same time, Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon throne, didn't know about this either.
So, when Kong Youdao told the matter in public, everyone in the Jinluan Palace couldn't help but cast extremely complicated looks at Gao Qiu.
There are people who are surprised and confused.
There are some who are very surprised.
There are those who take pleasure in misfortune.
Those whose faces are full of excitement are even worse.
At this time, Gao Qiu was looked at by everyone, with a look of shame on his face.
If he could dig a hole, he would probably dig a hole from the floor of the Golden Palace and get in right away.
After all, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this incident was a great shame and humiliation for Gao Qiu.
But that old man Kong Youdao, Kong Youdao, showed his shame and humiliation naked in front of many colleagues in the court.
Immediately, Gao Qiu felt an urge to bite Old Man Kong to death in public.
Just when Gao Qiu's face was full of shame and anger, Kong Youdao's face was full of pride, and the faces of the court officials were full of excitement.
Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't sit still for the first time.
Because this news was really exciting to him.
First, this Gao Qiu actually gave his first wife to those puddle bandits without hesitation to play with her wantonly.
If there isn't something wrong with him, he must be inhumane.
Although many officials have a special preference for giving concubines to each other.
But to voluntarily give away his first wife to those reckless bandits is something that none of the officials in the government would do.
This really challenged the moral bottom line of the Song Dynasty.
As for the second point that made Zhao Ji extremely excited, this Gao Qiu could freely take out one million taels of silver and give it to the group of puddle bandits.
Then there must still be millions of taels of silver left in his family.
And now, he happened to want to transport another batch of calamine from outside the palace and deliver it to his newly built garden.
At this moment, when he was worried about Yin Liang, let him hear the news. How could he not be excited?
Although he asked for it openly, it might not be a good idea.
But he can also click on that Gaoqiu from the side for a few times?
If he takes the road, are you still afraid that he won't obediently deliver the money in his house to Zhao Ji himself?
At this time, Gao Qiu couldn't stand being looked down upon by the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
So he could only yell loudly with an anxious look on his face.
"I'm not, I didn't, he's talking nonsense!"
However, Gao Qiu's denial for three consecutive times not only failed to convince the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to believe his statement.
On the contrary, from his furious expression, we could smell a hint of panic when the secret was discovered.
Therefore, I became even more convinced of what Kong Youdao just said.
Just when Gao Qiu was extremely anxious, Kong Youdao came to him with a smile on his face.
"Since the civil and military officials throughout the dynasty are very curious about the ins and outs of this matter."
"Then you, Sir Gao, will be merciful and tell us something?"
"Tell me what you were thinking when you used that one million taels of silver to exchange for your own life?"
"Tell me, what were you thinking when you gave your first wife to those Liangshan grass bandits to play with?"
"Captain Gao, don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to embarrass you."
"It's just that I, as well as all the adults standing in the Jinluan Palace, are very curious about what you were thinking at that time, that's all."
