The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 92 Conferment ([-])

"The king of Guangping County is really a young hero. He actually subdued the Liangshan rebels. I heard that he conquered the Liangshan army with his own strength. He attacked Qingzhou City at night and made them flee the city. They were defeated and captured alive."

"Why is it different from what I heard, that the King of Guangping County showed great power and killed all the soldiers of Liangshan Army, and fled in a hurry, forcing them to surrender and accept the imperial court's call for peace?"

"Master Wang, is this the version you listened to? But what I heard is that the King of Guangping won the victory with the help of Jingxilu, Tai'an Army, Zhang Shuye, Zeng Xiaoyun and other generals."

The ministers of the DPRK and China talked a lot, and Song Huizong listened to it in his ears and kept it in his heart.At this moment, his face was full of red, full of smiles, and he laughed like never before.Zhao Gouqi won the victory, and recruited several generals capable of fighting for the Song Dynasty. He was really happy in his heart, and couldn't bear the joy in his heart, so he smiled.

In these years, Song Huizong was so busy with the affairs of the court, and Gao Qiu and others made troubles, that he was frowning and helpless every day.Zhao Gouqi's victory made his face smile several times more than before, and he was full of joy.Although Zhao Gou won the victory, everyone speculated, some people were surprised, and some people hated it even more.

Gao Qiu thought with a sneer: "I didn't expect this kid to be well-versed in civil and military skills. Not only is he good at martial arts, but he can also lead an army on the battlefield. He is a rare talent in the Song Dynasty. This time he has achieved such a great achievement, the Holy One will definitely reward him. At that time He must be on the same level as me, if you want to attack him again, you must plan and act later."

"Since the Liangshan rebels have all come to confer titles, they must be somewhat grateful to Zhao Gou. As long as they do anything wrong, they can be wiped out, and the crime can be re-placed on that kid. Hmph! ... Think If you want to sit on an equal footing with me, Gao Qiu, even if you are a prince, you have to measure your own weight."

"Lao Jiu really completed this impossible task?" Dai Wang Zhao Heng looked nervous and said anxiously in his heart: "If this continues, my position as the eldest son of the emperor will be in jeopardy, and my father will love Lao Jiu even more. If he gains power again, How could there be a place for me, then wouldn't I have no place in front of my father?"

"Lao Jiu has been favored by his father since he was a child, and he is partial to him. If he is allowed to gain power again, Lao Jiu will become a crown prince. It is a matter that cannot be changed. I will never allow such a thing to happen. , it is absolutely not allowed, even if it is to use any means to get the crown prince, the old nine is too prominent, we must guard against him, lest he really gain power, where is the eldest son of me, the eldest son of the emperor? ?”

Liu Zhongwu was secretly surprised: "I didn't expect this kid to really defeat Liang Shanjun. I don't know what happened to Qi'er?"

Zongze was very excited and thought: "This Guangping county king is really unexpected. He actually did it. After this incident, I have to visit this county king in person. He commanded the army at the age of 12 and won the victory. I am afraid that his achievements will be compared with Taizu and Taizong, and he is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among people."

Zhong Shidao was stunned, stroked his beard and nodded appreciatively, and said: "I didn't expect him to actually complete the task. This son is much better than the eldest son of the emperor."

The ministers of the DPRK and China had their own thoughts, and the messengers came one after another to report that Zhao Gou led Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others, and Song Jiang and others had entered Bianjing City and were heading towards the imperial city.After he reported the report, Song Huizong was complacent and closed his mouth happily. He wanted to be greeted by all the officials, but he was opposed by everyone, because it was the first time for Zhao Gou to suppress the rebels. , just give up.

There is no way to meet hundreds of officials, but if a large number of civil and military officials are assembled, it is an imperial decree, and it can be done easily.Song Huizong had been preparing for this day for a long time.After learning of Zhao Gou's marching route, Song Huizong ordered people to do it, and asked all the ministers to dress neatly and stay in the hall in order to welcome Zhao Gou's triumphant return.

Song Huizong looked at the gate with a smile on his face, quietly waiting for Zhao Gou and others to come.After a while, someone outside the palace reported to Song Huizong that Zhao Gou and others had come, and he laughed heartily.Ministers of military and military affairs of the court looked sideways at the gate, and saw that Zhao Gou stepped into the main hall first, followed by Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others, and Song Jiang and others followed into the Daqing Hall.

Generally speaking, there are no major events or national celebrations in the Song Dynasty, and the Daqing Hall will not be used.The place where the emperor does his daily work and handles government affairs is the Chuigong Hall on the west side of the Daqing Hall.The ministers of Chinese, Chinese and military affairs of the DPRK, headed by the prime minister, entered the Wende Hall step by step and waited for the emperor's imperial decree before entering the Chuigong Hall for daily court attendance.

After Zhao Gou led Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others into the palace, the eunuch next to him told him that the emperor had been waiting in the Daqing Palace for a long time.Upon hearing this, Zhao Gou rushed to the Daqing Palace without stopping.When Song Jiang and the others heard that they were meeting him and others in the Daqing Hall, they felt a little flattered, because it was a supreme honor to be received in the Daqing Hall, which showed Song Huizong's sincerity.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Zhao Gou bowed and knelt down first, and everyone knelt down hurriedly, shouting loudly, and Song Huizong was elated.Zhao Gou stood up again, and the crowd also stood up, bowing slightly and said: "Show the father, the ministers lead the soldiers of the Liangshan army to have an audience, the leader of the Song Dynasty also agrees to the court's call for peace, and I ask the father to make a decision."

Song Huizong nodded with a smile, let Zhao Gou, Yue Fei and others stand aside, stared at Song Jiang and other generals intently, and said, "Are you Song Jiang, the leader of the Liangshan Army?"

Song Jiang bowed and replied, "That's the grassroots!"

"Are you guilty?" Song Huizong shouted sharply, his face getting colder.

Song Huizong's complexion changed suddenly, and all the ministers in the court were stunned. Zhao Gou and others didn't understand why, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Father!..."

"It's none of your business, stand aside for me!" Song Huizong turned his face mercilessly, the court ministers were even more horrified, Zhao Gou was also dumbfounded, he had never seen his father look like this, and heard Song Huizong coldly With a straight face, he shouted loudly: "Song Jiang, are you convicted?"

Song Jiang bowed and said, "The grassroots are guilty!"

Song Huizong sneered: "As a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, he doesn't want to be loyal to the country, and intends to commit crimes against others and gather people to rebel. Do you know that this is a capital crime?"

Song Jiang replied: "The grassroots know that it is a capital crime, and they are willing to apologise, and ask the emperor to bypass the brothers!"

"Brother Gongming!" Everyone was thinking about what Song Huizong's plan was, but they never thought that he could turn his face faster than turning a book, and without giving Song Jiang and others a chance to explain, he would ask the teacher for his crimes. Everyone was very angry and stared at him. Looking at Song Huizong, he wished to kill him immediately.

Song Huizong saw everyone looking at him murderously, and Zhao Gou became anxious. Seeing this, Gao Qiu yelled at the right time: "Come here, catch the traitor!"

The Imperial Forest Army waiting outside the palace immediately came with a knife. Song Jiang and others saw the Imperial Forest Army approaching. He knew that he was already in the tiger's mouth and it was difficult to get out. In desperation, he was unwilling to let his brother sacrifice. Change the lives of the brothers.

"I see who dares to act recklessly? All of them will be retired by this king!"

Zhao Gou roared angrily, the Imperial Forest Army saw Guangping County King Zhao Gou looking at him and others angrily, and they didn't dare to go forward to arrest Song Jiang and others.After all, Zhao Gou's eyes were wide open, as if they were about to spew fire. If they dared to move half a step, Zhao Gou must be merciless. They just heard that the brothers from the Yulin Army who went with Zhao Gou said that Zhao Gou His martial arts skills are unfathomable, besides, he is still a county king, an envoy of the Privy Council, a second-rank official, equal to Gao Qiu, so he dares not make a move.

Seeing that Zhao Gou was furious, Gao Qiu looked at the Yulin Army gloomyly, and hurriedly shouted: "My lord, do you really want to help these rebels? Don't forget what the Holy Majesty said before, you are so Do it, where will you put the emperor? Are you still the king of the county?"

Zhao Gou retorted and said: "Gao Taiwei, it's not your turn to comment on this king's affairs. They are afraid of your power, but I am not afraid. If you offend me, be careful that this king will beat you together! You slaves, father Before the emperor gave the order, you rushed into the Daqing Palace rashly, don’t you want to live? Don’t let me back down, if you dare to enter the Daqing Palace again, be careful that the king will dismiss you all and investigate!”

The Yulin army showed embarrassment, and smiled wryly in their hearts. They looked at Zhao Gou, then at Gao Qi, and then at Song Huizong again. Seeing his gloomy face, it seemed that he didn't take him seriously as the emperor. Torn skin, especially Zhao Gou's domineering words, even Gao Qiu was a little timid, and he also knew that Zhao Gou's martial arts were unfathomable.

Gao Qiu was so angry that Zhao Gou couldn't speak. After a while, he laughed sarcastically and said: "Your Majesty is really a great official!"
