Poor Family 1

  Chapter 638 Gao Qiu's thoughts

  Early in the morning, Gao Qiu hurriedly came to the gate of Yanfu Palace. He seemed to be in high spirits. Ever since he beheaded the commander of the Jingzhao army in the public place of the capital, Tong Guan's arrogance had been completely suppressed.

In particular, the officials have lost patience with Tong Guan's repeated troubles, and finally removed Tong Guan from the post of Privy Envoy ten days ago, and appointed himself as the head of the Privy Council, so that he can improve his military power. Even Cai Jing has Throw a hydrangea to yourself, implying support for yourself in the photo.

It has always been a common practice for the Privy Council to be appointed as a Deputy Prime Minister. However, since the official government compressed the two principals and four officers into two principals and two officers ten years ago, the Privy Council has been decoupled from the prime minister. Deputy, there are already countless pairs of eyes staring at the two newly added deputy prime ministers, and Gao Lian is no exception.

Today Gao Qiu is here to report the great victory in Gyeongju to the Emperor Zhao Ji. Li Yanqing has quelled the chaos of the black party Xiang. The report was handed over to the imperial court in duplicate. In the political hall, another report was handed over to the Privy Council as the commander of the Jingzhao Army.

However, in order to win over Gao Qiu, Cai Jing hinted that the Privy Council would first report to the emperor, and he suppressed the report in the Zhizheng Hall. It was he who reported to the emperor, but he could only report after the approval of the Zhizheng Hall. Cai Jing delayed for half a day and gave this opportunity to the Privy Council.

How can Gao Qiu not understand Cai Jing's overtures? As a return of love, he has to properly protect Linde, the governor of Gyeongju. Fortunately, Li Yanqing gave Linde a lot of good words in the report, and he can also make a favor .

Gao Qiu was especially satisfied with Li Yanqing. After Liu Yanqing was demoted, he lacked capable officers. Knowing that Yao Pingzhong, the supervisor of Hedong Road, is Tong Guan's person, and has always had a bad relationship with Li Yanqing, this is the time to win over Li Yanqing, especially Li Yanqing wrote a letter to himself, the meaning of which is self-evident.

Although Gao Qiu also knew that the relationship between Li Yanqing and Liang Shicheng was unusual, but Gao Qiu understood Liang Shicheng. With Liang Shicheng's coldness, he would not regard anyone as his confidant. He and Li Yanqing were just using each other. Why not, even if Li Yanqing can't be his confidant, it's good to be on the same front. After all, Li Yanqing is the prince's man, how can such a person dormant under him, it's not too bad to form an alliance.

  Especially after Guo Yaoshi, the magistrate of Yanshan Prefecture, took refuge in Tong Guan, Gao Qiu also felt that he had to exert his strength in the peripheral prefectures.

   After waiting in front of the palace gate for a while, an old **** came out with a smile and said, "Gao Taiwei, the officials have summoned you, please follow me!"

   "Trouble Prince!"

Gao Qiu followed the old **** named Wang An into the palace, and walked to a place where there were few people. Gao Qiu slipped his hand and stuffed a pearl into the old eunuch's hand. Turn, and the pearl disappears.

   "Taiwei Gao is lucky. The officials are in a good mood these two days. It's just that they had an iced drink yesterday and their stomach got a little cold. Also, the ginseng tea was a little weaker two days ago. The officials are a little dissatisfied."

  The old **** Wang An is the personal **** of the emperor Zhao Ji, and he knows Zhao Ji's diet well.

  Gao Qiu immediately understood, "Eunuch Wang, there happens to be a thousand-year-old ginseng plant in my house. Since the official's body is a little weak, why don't I show filial piety to the official!"

   "Hehe! The Taiwei cares so much about the official's health, the official will be very happy to know, the Taiwei has a heart."

   "No, it's my father-in-law who takes care of me."

Of course, Gao Qiu would not offer ginseng to the emperor face to face, it would be counterproductive. This kind of thing must be done in a more tactful way, and people around the official family will speak well for him, so that it will be effective. It is best to add another sentence, 'too Wei told us not to say ', and the effect will come out. As for whether the **** is willing to say this sentence, it depends on the effect of that pearl.

   Not long after, Gao Qiu was led to the study in the Qilin Hall, where Zhao Ji rested and recuperated. He waited at the door for a while, and Wang An came out with a smile and said, "Taiwei, please!"

  Gao Qiu walked into the study quickly, and saw Zhao Ji holding a cup of tea in his hand, and was concentrating on reading a volume of Buddhist scriptures. Gao Qiu didn't dare to disturb, so he had to stand aside with his hands down.

   After a while, Zhao Ji raised his head and glanced at Gao Qiu. Seeing the excitement on Gao Qiu's face, he smiled and said, "Does the Taiwei want to bring me any good news?"

   "Your Majesty, Shaanxi Road Express, the riots in the Heidangxiang have been completely put down!"

   "Ah!" Zhao Ji slipped his hand and almost spilled tea on the Buddhist scriptures, but he didn't care about the Buddhist scriptures, so he quickly put down his teacup and asked, "Where is the report?"

  Gao Qiu quickly handed the report to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji took the report and flipped through it. When he saw the end, he couldn't help but slapped the table and praised: "Well done!"

He smiled at Gao Qiu again and said: "I got the news yesterday that Xixia sent envoys to negotiate with us, intending to sign a Jing'an agreement on the border between Song and Xia, and at the same time agreed to cancel the old coins. Well, now I understand that the riots in the Black Party Xiang were quelled, and Xixia couldn't contain the Song army, so they had to make concessions on the old coin."

   "This is the soldiers of the former enemy sharing the worries of His Majesty!"

   "Your Privy Council is also well-directed!"

  Zhao Ji was in a good mood, read the report carefully again and said with a smile: "Li Yanqing is still pleading for Lin De?"

"Your Majesty, in fact, the riots in the Black Party are not entirely the responsibility of Lin Zhizhou. The Black Party has never used weapons for more than a hundred years. It is reasonable for the Zhizhou not to have such psychological preparations. One hundred thousand Qingzhou fugitives were taken into Anhua County, and they were able to withstand the siege of the black party for more than a month. He should still be a more dedicated parent official. As for the defeat of the 20,000 troops, that has nothing to do with the state government, it is a matter of the commander , Wei Chen and Lin De don't have any friendship, they just discuss the matter."

Zhao Ji nodded, "What you said makes sense. Li Yanqing also said in the report that he actively participated in the negotiations and contributed to the complete surrender of the mafia project. Forget it, I won't pursue him this time. I just hope that he will We can clean up the mess in Gyeongju and learn from it.”

   "Your Majesty is magnanimous, it is the blessing of my subjects!"

   "Don't flatter me here, I'm not a person without a bottom line!"

  Even though he said this, Zhao Ji still had a smile on his face, he pondered for a moment and asked again: "What does the Taiwei think of Li Yanqing?"

"Your Majesty, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, this man is a pillar of the Song Dynasty, he is very powerful in both civil and military affairs, especially in conquering Yanshan Mansion and defeating Xixia a few years ago, he has made great military exploits, he can be of great use. "

   "But Wang Xiangguo thinks that he is ambitious and cannot be reused. I am a little confused."

  Gao Qiu sneered in his heart, and said again: "Wang Xiangguo's words are understandable. Li Yanqing is one of the thirteen members of the Fan Party case! How could Wang Xiangguo say good things, and besides, Wang Xiangguo also has some personal feelings for Li Yanqing."

   "Oh?" Zhao Ji asked curiously, "What personal grievances do they have?"

"It's not about grievances. I heard that Wang Xiangguo's elder brother is also in the rouge business. Within a month, he opened fifty jade brocade buildings all over the world, but they couldn't compete with Baoyanzhai. The shop collapsed. Brother Wang Xiangguo Lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, so..."

Zhao Ji nodded, "I understand, opening fifty stores within a month is clearly choked to death, but Baoyanzhai's products are really good. It is very comfortable to wash, and the dandruff on the scalp is gone, I have to admit that other people's things are good."

   "Then how should the Privy Council approve this report, please give instructions from Your Majesty!"

  Zhao Ji thought for a while and said: "Wait a minute! After the Zhizheng Tang's report comes up, let Xiangguo have a good discussion. The Taiwei can also participate in the discussion and express the opinion of the Privy Council!"

  Gao Qiu's heart 'thump! ’, what does it mean to participate in the Zhizheng Hall discussion, is it hinting at myself.

  Zhao Ji glanced at him quickly, waved his hand and said, "Go! I'll take a good look at this report again."

   "My minister resigns!"

Gao Qiu retreated, Zhao Ji watched his back go away, and he was also thinking about the Zhizheng Hall. The reason why he decided to restore the two principals and four deputy ministers was to divide the power of the ministers. Putting his confidants in, he originally planned to use Tong Guan as a privy envoy to serve as a prime minister, but Tong Guan's two disastrous defeats in the Northern Expedition made him notorious in the court, and letting him be a prime minister would be a damage to his reputation. Although Tong Guan is still loyal, after several months of consideration, Zhao Ji decided to take Tong Guan as an abandoned son. As for the Yang Lin incident, it was just the trigger for Tong Guan to be abandoned.

Tong Guan was refrigerated, so Zhao Ji spent a lot of consideration on who would replace Tong Guan and enter the Zhizheng Hall. He originally considered Tan Zhen, but Tan Zhen was too feminine and far less rigid than Tong Guan, so Zhao Ji's eyes turned away. When it comes to Gao Qiu, Gao Qiu can be regarded as his confidant. He also holds the military power and serves as a member of the Privy Council. After he succeeded Tong Guan's Privy Council, he entered the Zhizheng Hall as the Deputy Prime Minister.
