Big Song Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 37

Li Ce became more interested when he heard it. It seems that Guan Yiqi was also a legendary figure before, so he immediately begged Chen Yaozuo: "Then you can talk about it casually, and talk about what comes to mind."

Chen Yaozuo smiled and said: "Okay, I'll tell you, it's just that your master's temper is really too stubborn. If you have a chance, you should really persuade him. Alas, he was also affected by this, so he fell to the bottom. This is the field today, otherwise, with his ability, why would he end up here." After Chen Yaozuo said that, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, when he taught me archery, he often talked about the formation of troops. It seems that he also has a lot of research on commanding operations. That insight is not something that a simple captain can have." Li Ce answered.

Chen Yaozuo glanced at Li Ce with admiration and said: "Boy, you have a good eye, and you can still see this. Yes, Guan Yiqi also became famous at a young age. During the confrontation between Song and Liao, with his superb archery skills, he repeatedly Shooting and killing the vanguard of the Liao army, dampening their spirit, and relying on the accumulated military achievements, they were quickly promoted to the position of the general of the guards. The future is limitless, but it is a pity..."

"What a pity?" Li Ce guessed that this should be Guan Yiqi's turning point, and asked nervously.

"Well, more than ten years ago, in a war between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, Guan Yiqi was the main general, and Wang Lin, the youngest son of the Prime Minister Wang Qinruo at the time, was also in the army. Moreover, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and would only play tricks. Guan Yiqi also knew what he was like, so he didn't send him to lead troops to fight, as long as he was responsible for his own duties and supervised the transportation of food and grass in the rear in a timely and safe manner.

But who knows, this Wang Lin is really an asshole. After the battle started, Guan Yiqi was in command of the front. The battle was extremely cruel. The two sides fought fiercely for a whole day, from morning to evening. After a temporary truce, Guan Yiqi could see that the Liao army's rear was short of supplies. He planned to come back and take a rest before launching an attack in the middle of the night.

But when he returned to the camp, he found that the rear supplies of his troops hadn't kept up. The official was extremely shocked and annoyed, which disrupted his overall plan, and he hurriedly ordered someone to investigate thoroughly. It was discovered that Wang Lin, who was in charge of supervising the transportation of grain and grass, had recruited two singing girls from somewhere during the day to drink and have fun in the tent all day long, and he had completely forgotten about supervising the transportation of grain and grass.

Guan Yiqi ordered someone to strip the drunken Wang Lin of his shirt, tie him to the pillar in front of the big tent, and beat him severely in front of the whole army, beating Wang Lin half to death.

Guan Yiqi originally wanted to dismiss Wang Lin from his position as grain and grass transportation supervisor, but Wang Lin was appointed by the imperial court, and Guan Yiqi had no authority to dismiss him. Besides, his father was the prime minister at the time, so the reason why he sent Wang Lin to the army In the middle, it is because he knows that his son is ignorant and incapable of learning and skill, and he wants him to mix in the army to gain some military merits, and he will have some capital for promotion in the future.So even if Guan Yiqi petitioned the imperial court to dismiss Wang Lin, it might not be so easy.

Wang Lin was beaten up by Guan Yiqi, and he had already woken up from the wine. At this time, he was crying and crying for mercy. He could see that Guan Yiqi wanted to kill him. Life-saving is the most important thing. The generals around Guan Yiqi also know Wang Lin's background, so they also persuade Guan Yiqi to write it down to Wang Lin for the time being, and they will settle the matter later.Wang Lin also promised that he would never commit another crime in the future, and even vowed to issue a military order. He never thought that Guan Yiqi really wanted him to issue a military order, so that he would be spared.

In fact, the reason why Guan Yiqi beat Wang Lin so hard that he couldn't get out of bed was also due to his own considerations, so he sent another capable general to assist Wang Lin, in name, to assist Wang Lin, but in fact, you also know This Wang Lin couldn't get out of bed anymore, so naturally the task of supervising the transportation in the rear fell to the general he sent.Wang Lin has been recuperating from his illness at ease, and did not leave the gate, so he is safe and sound.

I thought that Wang Lin would take this as a warning and restrain himself, but what happened later was even more annoying.

In the next few days, Song and Liao have been in a state of confrontation, and both sides are hurrying to rest, hoping to gain an advantage in the next decisive battle. Guan Yiqi also focused on the layout of the front line. After the Song army finished resting, it was ready to fight the Liao army. When they were male and female, news came from behind that Wang Lin had escaped, and he fled back to the capital.

It's fine for Wang Lin to run by himself, anyway, he will only add to the chaos here, and he won't be able to help.But who would have thought that because the general Guan Yiqi sent to prevent him from escaping, Wang Lin ordered his own slaves to kill him. Much annoyed and heartbroken.But Wang Lin had already run away, and now he couldn't catch up, so Guan Yiqi had no choice but to put the matter down for the time being.

On the other hand, Wang Lin fled back to his hometown in the capital. His father, Wang Qinruo, was shocked when he saw that his son ran back privately. When asked, this rebellious son even killed Guan Yiqi's general, and passed out on the spot. .

If Wang Qin knows that his son has committed a capital crime, even if he is the prime minister, he can't protect him. Now he can only count on Guan Yiqi. As long as Guan Yiqi doesn't mention this matter, he can suppress it in secret.So Wang Qinruo quickly edited a letter, in which he promised Guan Yiqi various benefits of being promoted to a higher rank, and prepared a lot of gifts and sent someone to send Wang Lin back without stopping. Naturally, one hundred and ten thousand Wang Lin was unwilling , but Wang Qinruo said that if he didn't go back, he would be beaten to death now, so that the family would not be troubled by him.Wang Lin had never seen his father so scared before, and he panicked at the moment, knowing that he had caused too much trouble this time, so he had to obey his father's order, bite the bullet and rushed back.

Immediately after Wang Lin returned to the barracks, someone reported to Guan Yiqi, and without further ado, Guan Yiqi led the generals to Wang Lin's residence without asking any questions, and directly sent Wang Lin and his four servants He was tied up and taken to the school grounds.

When Wang Lin saw that Guan Yiqi didn't give him a chance to speak at all, he was trying to kill him. While crying and begging Guan Yiqi to let him go, he brought out his father to scare Guan Yiqi.

Some soldiers showed the letter brought back by Wang Lin to Guan Yiqi. Unexpectedly, Guan Yiqi tore it up without even reading it. Now Wang Lin was completely stupid when he saw it. It seems that Guan Yiqi Qi was so determined to kill himself that he pissed on the spot.

Wang Lin and his servants were all beheaded.Guan Yiqi took part of the belongings brought back by Wang Lin to pay for the family of the general who was killed by Wang Lin, and the rest was used as military pay, and the generals were all convinced.

After the news of Wang Lin's murder came back to the capital, it was heard that the Prime Minister Wang Qinruo fell ill all of a sudden, and it took more than half a month before he could get out of bed.

"Oh, there's another thing like this." Li Ce took a deep breath, blinked his eyes to digest the information just now, and continued to ask: Then what happened next?
Chen Yaozuo sighed and said: "Later... Guan Yiqi formed a relationship with the prime minister because of this, and although he continued to make meritorious service, he was constantly reported and exposed all kinds of unwarranted problems, so his official position was also demoted again and again. To the point of commanding and envoys... Sigh!" Having said this, Chen Yaozuo shook his head and sighed, his expression darkened.

Li Ce muttered to himself: "It's no wonder the master has been unwilling. It turned out that he was deliberately suppressed by the prime minister..." Suddenly, he seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly said loudly: "But can the prime minister cover the sky with one hand? This matter the emperor Should know?"

Chen Yaozuo smiled wryly: "Things in court are not as simple as you think. The emperor can't see and hear everything. To put it disrespectfully, the emperor can't tell right from wrong. Being able to distinguish right from wrong, many times, for the sake of the court, he has to make some decisions, alas...you don't understand these things now, I really don't know if telling you these things is good or bad for you. "

Li Ce thought to himself: Isn't it the art of the emperor? I have seen this a lot in later generations of film and television dramas.

Li Ce picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Chen Yaozuo, and said, "Actually, I can't blame my master for this matter, I can only blame that bastard Wang Lin, whoever gets involved in this matter will be unlucky, I think if you were replaced by the official teacher at that time stand, and I think you would do the same."

"Oh? Really? Haha... Well, isn't that right? I was acting recklessly as a weird official just now, but I never thought that I might do the same in such a situation. You are right." Chen Yaozuo Leng immediately sighed with relief.

Li Ce smiled in embarrassment. What he said just now was straightforward, and it was indeed a bit offensive. He was already used to the thinking habit of equality in later generations. At this time, he scratched his head in embarrassment, with a guilty look on his face.

Chen Yaozuo saw his worry, laughed and said: I know that you are informal, and I am not a stubborn person. When we chat, master and apprentice, we can say whatever we want, and there is nothing to worry about. I appreciate it the most. Your true nature.

"That's really great. If you are like those old masters in the academy, then I will suffer. Every time I speak, I have to think about the words and sentences. I really have a headache." Li Ce grinned laughed.

"Your kid is not big or young, that is, you and I can do this, but we can't do this after we go out, lest someone poke my Chen Yaozuo's spine and say that I can't teach people." Chen Yaozuo scolded with a smile.

"Well, that's for sure, I still have some sense of propriety."

"Well, I haven't tested your knowledge as a teacher, so I don't know how your knowledge of poetry and poetry is?" Chen Yaozuo looked at Li Ce and said with a meaningful smile.

Li Ce was a little ashamed. What he was most afraid of was that others would test his knowledge. It would be fine for him to make nonsense and gossip about the mountains. If he writes in a serious manner, it would be like asking him to write the kind of ancient prose that he would have learned in high school. , that is really harder than killing him.Especially in front of an old pedant like Chen Yaozuo, there is no way to fool him.

Chen Yaozuo didn't pay attention to Li Ce's guilty conscience, he smiled and continued, "It's just that I still have a lot of business to deal with as a teacher today, so I won't take the exam for the time being, but you can't just relax and waste your studies, don't I only focus on practicing martial arts and forget to learn.

Li Ce was amnesty, and when he heard that Chen Yaozuo did not take the exam, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Of course not. Dropping out of school is like a stone that sharpens a knife. You don't see the damage. You will lose every day. I understand this truth. My son has to be both civil and military, so nothing will be lost.

"Well, a child can be taught, a child can be taught, haha...Okay, go, go and get busy with your business." Chen Yaozuo heard Li Ce's reply politely quoted a famous sentence from Tao Yuanming, and heard Li Ce say that he should do it. Seeing both civil and martial arts, he felt a little funny but also a little relieved. This answer made him very satisfied, so he smiled and waved Li Ce to leave.
