"Gao Qiu, please speak clearly, what are you doing for me?"
Gao Qiu looked at the civil and military officials around him, shook his head and said, "There are too many people here, Gao Qiu can't speak, Gao Qiu can only tell His Majesty what's in his heart."
Emperor Song frowned and waved to all civil and military officials for a long time, signaling them to back down.
All the officials retreated, but the left minister did not.
"Left Prime Minister, His Majesty has already signaled all civil and military officials to step down, why don't you step back?"
Gao Qiu questioned Zuo Xiang standing beside him.
Zuo Xiang rolled his eyes at Gao Qiu, and snorted coldly: "The truth is responsible for assisting the emperor in governing the world. Since your words are for His Majesty, there is no harm in listening to the truth here."
Gao Qiu looked at Emperor Song.
Emperor Song nodded: "Master Zuo is right, Gao Qiu, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Gao Qiu knelt down towards Emperor Song and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Tian is now strong and powerful, and his reputation is increasing day by day. He is suspected of overshadowing Your Majesty. If he is allowed to take down the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and subdue the Liao Kingdom, who else in the world can do that?" Is it his opponent?"
"When Emperor Taizu was around, he took precautions against the generals in many ways, because he was afraid that they would control the military power and endanger the Song Dynasty in the future."
"Your Majesty, you must take precautions and make preparations early, so that the situation will not be difficult to control in the future."
As soon as Gao Qiu's words fell, the left minister next to him became angry, and he raised his hand and knocked Gao Qiu's head hard.
Na Boya was made of white marble, it was extremely strong, this blow made Gao Qiu's forehead bloody.
"Zuo Xiang, you!"
Chapter 132 Song-Liao War (30) [Chapter 22]
Gao Qiu stared at Prime Minister Zuo in surprise, although Prime Minister Zuo was under one person and above ten thousand in the court.
But he, Gao Qiu, was a Taiwei in the Song Dynasty, and his official rank was first rank, which was the same rank as Zuo Xiang.
"Gao Qiu, Truth's attack is considered light. If you dare to speak nonsense again and frame Zhongliang, Truth will definitely kill you!"
Prime Minister Zuo's face was full of anger, with veins popping out of his forehead.
Gao Qiu straightened his neck, stared at Zuo Xiang with determination, and said: "Zuo Xiang, it is absurd for you to say that I slander Zhongliang. Gao Qiu is all for His Majesty, for Song, not for himself at all!"
Zuo Xiang sneered, and said: "Gao Qi, you keep saying that it is for the sake of the Song Dynasty, and for His Majesty, so let me ask you, since Wu Tian's expedition to the present, have you ever done anything deviant?"
"Kill the King Supervisor."
Gao Qiu responded.
The left minister shook his head: "Wu Tian killed the king's supervisor, but don't forget that the king's supervisor secretly communicated with the Liao Kingdom, which is a capital crime. What's more, His Majesty has given Wu Tian the right to take advantage of it. When necessary, he can Without the permission of His Majesty, the frontline civil and military officials were dealt with."
Gao Qiu was at a loss for words, but he still forcefully defended himself.
"Even if you are right, Prime Minister Zuo, His Majesty only ordered him to drive the Liao army out of the Song Dynasty, but he did not say that he should capture the Sixteen States of Yanyun, act without authorization, and disobey His Majesty's will, which in itself is treasonous! "
Zuo Xiang was furious and raised Boya to beat Gao Qiu again.
Gao Qiu fled in a hurry.
Emperor Song couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "Stop it all! What do you look like above the court!"
Gao Lian and Zuo Xiang stopped.
Prime Minister Zuo took a step forward and knelt down towards Emperor Song: "Your Majesty, I will guarantee Wu Tian with my wealth and life, and he will definitely not rebel against Your Majesty."
"Why is Prime Minister Zuo so firm?"
Gao Qiu mocked.
"Just because of my kindness to Wu Tian, just because of my trust in Wu Tian's character!"
Gao Qiu laughed loudly, and said casually: "What Zuo Xiang said is really funny. Zhou Shizong trusted Taizu a lot, and gave him all the military power, but what is the final result?"
After Gao Qiu finished speaking, he realized that he had stepped on Emperor Song's bottom line, and quickly knelt down.
Emperor Song did not condemn Gao Qiu, and Gao Qiu's words hit his heart.
In the face of power and interests, any kind of grace is useless.
Prime Minister Zuo wanted to refute, but couldn't find any reason, so he remained silent.
The hall, which was noisy just now, became extremely quiet at this time, and the three of them had their own thoughts.
After a long time, Emperor Song broke the silence, pointed at Gao Qiu and said, "You bastard, you dare to talk about Emperor Taizu and Zhou Shizong. At the beginning, Emperor Taizu succeeded to the throne, it was destiny, even if there was no Emperor Taizu to succeed, with The Chai family's ability at that time could not hold the country."
Seeing that Emperor Song was angry, Gao Qiu quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty forgives the crime, and the humble minister is quick to speak. How dare the humble minister blaspheme the Emperor Taizu, please forgive the sin of the minister."
Emperor Song waved his hand and said with a dark face: "Missing you is an unintentional mistake, I will fine you three years' salary, you can go down!"
Gao Qiu quickly retreated.
Zuo Xiang was slightly surprised when he saw that Song Emperor's punishment on Gao Qiu was so light, but when he saw Song Emperor's eyes, he suddenly understood in his heart.
There was a trace of imperceptible worry and even a trace of hatred in Emperor Song's eyes.
Zuo Xiang was secretly surprised that Emperor Song became suspicious of Wu Tian.
Once suspicion arises, it will be difficult for Wu Tian to do meritorious deeds in the future, and even his life may be in danger.
Just in response to that sentence, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.
Emperor Song came back to his senses, restrained his murderous aura, and looked to Prime Minister Zuo. Just as he was about to say something, a eunuch came in and knelt down in front of Emperor Song: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Liao Kingdom sent an envoy to negotiate peace."
Chapter 133
Emperor Song laughed loudly, and said to the eunuch: "Go out and tell those Liao people that I am not a three-year-old child, they have played with me once, and they want to play with me a second time?
If they want peace talks, unless they return the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, they will also pay tribute to the Great Song Dynasty and come to court every year. "
The servants and eunuchs go out.
The envoy of Liao Kingdom was very annoyed when he heard the eunuch's words, but he showed a smile on his face, and said to the eunuch: "Eunuch, it's not easy for us to travel all the way here, please take another trip for us, and take this box Give it to His Majesty Song Dynasty, and tell His Majesty that the safety of the Song Dynasty is related to the inside of this box."
With that said, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom stuffed a 100 taels of Jiaozi (silver note) into the hands of the eunuch.
The eunuch looked at the 100 taels of silver, nodded, and said with a smile: "For the sake of your hard work, our family will help you again."
The envoy of the Liao Kingdom handed the box to the eunuch.
