In fact, the Gao Qiu in official history and the Gao Qiu in "Water Margin" are two different people.

In official history, Lieutenant Gao was more of a favorite and idle minister of Song Huizong, who wandered around with the imperial troops every day and did not do any serious work.

There is a problem in itself when a football star becomes the commander-in-chief of the Central Military Forces.

What's more, our Captain Gao used to be a scoundrel.

This kind of person is of no use in the first place, so just throw him out of the court.

But after all, he has been operating in Tokyo for so many years, so he still has prestige and connections.

Naturally, it has its place.

What kind of yamen is the Imperial City Division?

It is very similar to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor of the Song Dynasty was close to the army and specialized in supervising the capital and supervising the army.

The person in charge of the Imperial City Department now is Wang Zonglio, the uncle of Song Qinzong Zhao Huan.

Wang Zongliu is a dandy, the second generation of a powerful man. He would not even dare to kill a chicken, let alone kill someone.

Zhao Ning wanted to kick him for being so cowardly at the city gate today.

But Gao Qiu was different. Although he was a playboy, after all he was a serious man who had been in the army for many years.

For Zhao Ning, the most important thing now is to have a guard army that can be commanded.

It’s not that the previous imperial guards were disobedient, but that Wang Zongliu was too timid. How would he kill people next?

It would be really embarrassing if the emperor just gave the order and the guy stood there and didn't dare to move.

If Gao Qiu dares to stay there, Zhao Ning can settle old scores and kill him.

Things were arranged very quickly, and Gao Qiu immediately went to the Imperial City Department to obtain the official seal.

And sleep?

No, no, no, I'm too nervous in front of this big enemy, I have to relax a little.

I am definitely not greedy for beauty, I just want to relax my mood so that I can have a good sleep. Only after a good sleep can I have the energy to fight against the enemy.

I am doing this all for my family, country, and country!

So, Madam Xiao Zhu, I’m here!

"Guan Jia, it's getting late, why don't you take a rest?"

"Guan family, do you want to come back tomorrow?"

"Guan Jia, when did your hand speed of taking off clothes become so fast?"

"Guan Jia, you braved the wind and snow to go to the tower during the day. At this time, you need to be... gentler..."

Zhao Ning suddenly felt that the world was not entirely a trap.

The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, and the fire in the Jinjun camp outside the city is burning brightly.

The tent was illuminated slightly by the fire inside, and it undulated.

The patrolling Jin army was walking back and forth, inspecting every corner, and eyeing the towers of Tokyo City with eager eyes.

Night shrouded this largest and most prosperous city in the world today.

The southern gate of the palace is Xuande Gate, and there is a gate to the east of Xuande Gate called Zuoye Gate.

Prime Minister He Li's residence is in this area.

The Northern Song Dynasty was a magical dynasty, and the housing prices in Tokyo were more than 5,000 yuan (approximately 2.5 million yuan).

Slightly better locations are those priced above 10,000 yuan (approximately 5 million yuan).

Many officials, even senior officials, could not afford to buy a house, so Su Shi spent most of his life as a renter.

Later, during the reign of Emperor Shenzong, even the emperor couldn't stand it. Some prime ministers actually rented houses to live in, which was not a good thing for the dynasty.

So a number of luxurious mansions were built in the Zuoyemen area, specifically for prime minister-level officials to live in.

Of course, since the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty changed frequently, the masters of this area also changed frequently.

He Li was the number one scholar in the fifth year of Zhenghe.

By the way, there was another historical celebrity who took the exam in the same year as him, Qin Hui.

Qin Hui was a Jinshi that year, not the number one scholar. The number one scholar was He Li.

He Li's position at this time was Shangshu Youpu She and Zhongshu Shilang.

Shangshu Youpuse (ye) is equivalent to the deputy prime minister and second-in-command of the political affairs hall. If Shangshu Zuopushe is not appointed, then he will be the first-in-command, a veritable prime minister, and the deputy minister for political affairs.

At this time, Qin Hui was still serving as the Yushi Zhongcheng in the Yushitai.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty was a dynasty that placed great emphasis on examination results.

How do you describe this person He Li?

He is not in the right place, and he has no ability to be prime minister.

Objectively speaking, Qin Hui's ability is much stronger than his, but Qin Hui doesn't even have the basic moral integrity.

Why is He Li not suitable to be prime minister?

He and Sun Fu found Guo Jing together!

The court situation in Jingkang was very complicated, and there were two main factions in the court.

One faction is the war faction, and the other is the peace faction.

The Zhuhe faction has never changed, including Geng Nazhong, Tang Ke, Li Bangyan, Zhang Bangchang and Mo Chou.

But the main militant faction has been changing. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year now, the main militant faction has almost changed a group of people.

The main combatant at the beginning of the year was Li Gang, a group of truly capable people like Zhong Shidao.

But at the end of the year, Li Gang resigned, Zhong Shidao died of illness, and the main fighting faction became idiots like He Li and Master Sun.

Fortunately, the main fighting faction in the city still has people like Zhang Shuye who have actually fought tough battles.

At this time, the person who came to He Li's house was Xu Bingzhe, the governor of Kaifeng, who was in charge of power. He acted in a hurry and was very anxious.

Xu Bingzhe was really a shameless person in history. When the Jin army entered the city, he was the first to help the Jin army collect beauties and gold and silver from the city. He was a standard traitor.

Xu Bingzhe said in a horrified tone: "Ms. He, it's not good! It's not good!"

He Li picked up a cup of hot tea and started drinking it: "Why are you so nervous?"

"Fu Sun was caught! Guo Jing was executed!"

He Li shook his hand, stood up suddenly, and his face changed drastically: "What did you say!"

"Fu Sun was arrested and Guo Daxian was executed! What should we do?"

"Who did it!"

As soon as He Li asked this question, he realized that he was asking too much.

Sun Fu was Tongzhi's Privy Councilor and Imperial Guard Envoy, and Guo Jing was the commander-in-chief he recommended to the emperor to defend against the enemy.

Besides the emperor, who else dares to execute Guo Jing?

But this is not common sense!

Why did the emperor execute Guo Jing?

Wasn't it fine before?

Could it be that the peace factions had whispered in the emperor's ears again and the emperor changed his mind?

Xu Bingzhe said: "It's the official family. The official family went to the city gate in the evening. After going there, they executed Guo Daxian and arrested Sun Fu. Sun Fu is now in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

"It's broken! It's broken!" He Li quickly put down the teacup, stood up, and said to the servant, "Change, change quickly."

"Where are Mr. He going?"

"Enter the palace to meet the saint!" The emperor suddenly arrested Sun Fu and killed Guo Jing. This was not the master and the faction causing trouble.

Is He Li a staunch fighter?

Not really.

The main battle is his political opinion, it is for the sake of gaining power, nothing more.

He doesn't have any specific tactics for the main battle. If he did, he wouldn't push out a magician like Guo Jing.

Now that the situation has suddenly changed, he first smelled the smell of political struggle instead of reflecting on his own behavior.

He thought it must be Geng Nanzhong and his group who said something in front of the emperor again.

After changing into his official robe, He Li went out and hurried to the palace.

Zuoyemen was not far from the palace gate. When he went to the palace gate and asked to enter the palace to see the saint, he was told that the officials had gone to rest and no one was there.

In the end, He Li used some connections and met Wang Huaiji, who then told him: "Ms. He, the official family has really taken a rest. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

"Is there a morning meeting tomorrow?"

"Yes, there is an early morning meeting tomorrow, and I am about to send someone to inform the officials of various ministries."

He Li left helplessly.

At this time, the news that Sun Fu had been arrested and Guo Jing had been executed had spread in Tokyo.

Especially in official circles.

In the city of Tokyo at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, various factions struggled with each other in complicated ways. They monitored each other, collected intelligence, and things like wind and rain often happened.

This is a legacy of party strife during Wang Anshi's reform era. The New Dealers and the conservatives each used their own banners to safeguard their own interests and made the political atmosphere chaotic.

At this time, the peace advocates immediately sensed the political trend from the murder of Guo Jing.

A month ago, Tang Ke, the leader of the Zhuhe faction, was deposed, the emperor's teacher Geng Nanzhong also stepped down, and the prodigal prime minister Li Bangyan was exiled to Mingdao Palace in Bozhou.

The peace faction was temporarily suppressed, and the war faction came to power.

But everyone knows that the Zhao Guan family is not a firm advocate of war. The reason why they advocate war is a temporary and helpless move. The Guan family has been swinging between the main war and the advocate of peace.
