On the second day, King Duan went to the palace of Prince Consort Wang Qian for a banquet as promised.
During the banquet, King Duan said to Wang Qian: "My uncle Xie is very blessed. Where can he find a talent like Gao Qiu?"
Wang Qian was a scholar, so he could only play, play, sing, compose poems and write lyrics. On weekdays, he only felt that Gao Qiu was well-behaved, eye-catching, and good at solving problems. He had not yet discovered that Gao Qiu had a good ability to kick balloons, so he did not know that King Duan was praising Gao Qiu's ability to kick balloons. , and casually replied: "Gao Qiu was recommended by Bachelor Su. He is well-behaved and a good helper, so I keep him as my personal attendant. Why do I ask about this person?"
King Duan said: "I really like this good balloon that Gao Qiu kicked. I want to ask this person to be my companion. What do you think, uncle?"
Wang Qian heard this and replied: "Since my uncle wants to use this person, what else can I say?! Just let Gao Qiu go with my uncle, and I can serve him every day."
King Duan was overjoyed when he heard this. He looked like a beggar who had picked up a gold ingot. He stood up and held a cup to thank him.
After the banquet that day, Duan Wang Zhao Ji said goodbye to Wang Qi, and then took Gao Qiu to Duan Wang's Mansion and became his personal companion.
From then on, Gao Qiu met King Duan and followed him every day like a bastard. When they had a little leisure time, the two of them would kick up balloons and have a great time.
On this day, in Prince Duan's mansion, Prince Duan Zhao Ji was kicking balloons with Gao Qiu when he suddenly heard a message from outside the mansion: "Yi's decree has arrived, and Prince Duan has received the decree."
When King Duan heard that Yizhi had come in, he quickly stopped the balloon, put on his coat, walked out of the mansion, and knelt on the ground.
The edict officer unfolded the edict of the Queen Mother and read loudly: "The edict of the Empress Dowager is that Prince Duan will enter the palace immediately." After reading, the edict officer handed the edict to King Duan Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji accepted the imperial edict with both hands and replied loudly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Ji, accepts the imperial edict from the Empress Dowager."
The proclaimer hurriedly bent down, helped King Duan to stand up, and whispered to King Duan: "Your Majesty, please get up quickly, I can't bear the responsibility."
Zhao Ji was shocked when he heard this. He stood up in a hurry and rebuked the official who announced the decree: "How dare you! Why do you falsely call me the king? This is a treasonous act."
Seeing the blame, the proclaimer hurriedly knelt down and apologized: "I made a slip of the tongue. I hope the Holy One will forgive me."
The proclaimer addressed him as a saint again, which only made Zhao Ji tremble all over.
Zhao Ji didn't want to get entangled with the proclaimer, so he hurriedly asked: "I ask you, what is the reason? The queen mother sent a message for me to enter the palace?"
The messenger looked around, as if he had something to tell him. When King Duan saw this, he hurriedly asked others to avoid it.
Seeing that the entourage was avoiding him, the official who announced the decree whispered into Zhao Ji's ear: "Your Majesty, go quickly. The emperor has passed away. The Empress Dowager and the ministers have agreed that the Holy Majesty will succeed him."
Zhao Ji was surprised and happy when he heard this. He was so surprised that Emperor Zhezong collapsed; he was happy that he was going to inherit the throne.
It's strange that the edict in the road wants to call himself the Holy One! It turns out that I am going to be the emperor!
At this moment, Zhao Ji could no longer care whether his brother died or not, so he took the sedan chair and the thief hurried to the palace.
Zhao Ji entered the palace and saw that Emperor Zhezong was dead. He couldn't help but lie on the ground and cried bitterly for a while.
Empress Dowager Xiang said to Zhao Jie, who was crying and bowing to the ground: "King Duan, please don't be sad and get up first. As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day. After consultation with the ministers, you will inherit the throne. Yan Zuo Jiangshan Sheji. Please invite King Duan to get up quickly."
Immediately, Duan Wang Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne as Huizong of Song Dynasty in front of the coffin of Emperor Zhezong.
Because King Duan became emperor, Gao Qiu also suffered bad luck.
After Duan Wang Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, he had been doing nothing. Suddenly one day, he remembered that he was accompanying Gao Qiu. Huizong thought to himself, Gao Qiu is so well-behaved and he is so good at kicking the ball. I should promote him and use him. Therefore, Huizong sent a message to Gao Qiu to enter the palace.
Gao Qiu was delighted when he got the news, and said to himself: "King Duan finally remembered me."
The thief Gao Qiu hurried into the palace, knelt down in the main hall, and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor! The villain Gao Qiu comes to see my lord."
When Emperor Huizong saw this, he hurriedly got down from the dragon chair, bent down to help Gao Qiu up, and said to Gao Qiu, "Quickly get back on your feet. We two don't need to be polite as kings and ministers, and we can talk when we are straight."
How noble is the Holy One! Even if you are an old minister in the court, your Majesty may not just step down from the throne to support you, right? ! Gao Qiu was so despicable that the Holy Sage hurriedly frightened him off the dragon chair to help him. This moved Gao Qiu to tears and said loudly: "Even if you die, you will never be able to repay our Lord's great kindness."
After Gao Qiu got up, Huizong returned to sit on the dragon chair and said to Gao Qiu: "I want to promote you, but you must have some merit to convince the public. I will first ask the Privy Council to name you, and I will see the opportunity to talk to you in the future. A good future.”
Hearing this, Gao Qiu knelt down and thanked him again. With tears streaming down his face, he thanked loudly: "Gao Qiu is grateful for the emperor's great kindness and vows to contribute to the court. Even if his body is broken to pieces, he will not hesitate."
King Duan immediately announced that Cai Bian, the Privy Councilor, had entered the palace, and ordered him to name Gao Qiu.
Cai Bian was Cai Jing's cousin and was in charge of the Privy Council. Since the emperor had spoken, he only had to obey, so he wrote Gao Qiu's name into the Privy Council.
From then on, Gao Qiu became a civil servant of the imperial court from being an idle follower of King Duan.
Even so, what he did was to move around with him and serve Emperor Huizong at his pleasure.
Emperor Huizong kept his word. Within half a year, he promoted Gao Qiu to the post of Taiwei of the Palace Commander's Palace. He was ranked third in rank and began to take charge of his own affairs.
Gao Qiu was also a gentleman. On the first day he took office, he gave Wang Jin, the leader of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army, a good deal.
It turned out that on the first day that Gao Qiu took office, all the public officials, government generals, military officers, supervisors, horsemen, etc. came to pay homage. Each of them presented his handbook and reported the names of flowers.
Gao Qiu passed by one by one and ordered him to stand aside. Only Wang Jin, the instructor of the 800,000 Forbidden Army, was not seen.
Gao Qiu was furious and immediately sent an order to the leader of the army to enter the palace to pay homage.
Wang Jin fell ill half a month ago and has taken sick leave and is recuperating at home.
The messenger reported to Gao Qiu: "Commander Gao Dian, Coach Wang took leave half a month ago and is now recuperating at home."
Hearing this, Gao Qiu angrily rebuked the messenger and said, "Nonsense! How could that guy say he was sick since he has handed over his handbook? This is clearly a prevarication for me, which shows how abominable he is! Send the order quickly and send the guy into the palace to pay homage." .”
After hearing the order, the herald rushed to Wang Jin's home and told Wang Jin who was lying on the bed: "Teacher, please don't worry. The newly appointed Commander-in-Chief Gao Dian is furious because you did not go to worship. There is nothing we can do, even though you are seriously ill." I was here, so I managed to go there and pay homage to Gao Dianshuai. It was natural that the matter would be settled, and I could pay homage to Gao Dianshuai.
Wang Jin had no choice but to get out of bed and go to the palace with the messenger to pay homage to the newly appointed Captain Gao Qiu.
The king entered the main hall, saw Gao Qiu, bowed four times, bowed and sang "Nai", and stood aside.
Gao Qiu said: "Is that guy of yours the son of Wang Sheng, the commander of the army?"
When Wang Jin heard this, he was shocked that Gao Qiu knew about his father, and hurriedly reported: "Go back to the captain and ask, I am a villain."
Gao Qiu shouted: "This guy! Your father sells medicine on the street using flower sticks! What kind of martial arts can you save? The former official has no eyesight, and I want you to be my instructor. How dare you look down on me and not look down on me! You ask me Who wants to push the sick to stay at home and be happy? If they are as ignorant as you, how can they enforce orders and prohibitions?!"
Wang Jin was frightened when he was scolded, so he hurriedly complained: "Commander, how dare you, little one? It's true that the little one is ill and has not recovered. He has already taken leave for more than half a month. It is not because he dissatisfied with the opinion of the commander."
Gao Qiu was furious and cursed: "You are a traitor to the army! You talk nonsense, how dare you deceive me?!"
Wang Jin hurriedly bowed his waist and replied: "The commander-in-chief of the palace is above, but the younger ones don't dare."
Gao Qiu asked angrily: "You really don't dare? Let me ask you this, since you are sick and have already taken leave for half a month, how can you come back?"
Wang Jin had no choice but to tell the truth: "The Lieutenant summoned me. Since I am ill and have asked for leave to recuperate, I dare not not come."
Hearing this, Gao Qiu became even angrier and said loudly: "Since you can come, why didn't you come and listen to my opinion when you heard that the commander-in-chief took office? Why did you have to ask the commander-in-chief to call you personally? You clearly have no sense of the commander-in-chief. ! Take it down for me, right and left, and beat this guy harder until you break one of his legs!"
All the generals were familiar with Wang Jin. When they saw that the officials were trying to break Wang Jin's legs, they hurriedly begged: "Commander, today is a good day for you to take office. It's a good time to celebrate. I have the right to remove this man." This time."
For the sake of everyone's face, Gao Qiu endured his revenge and shouted to Wang Jin: "You are a traitor to the army! For the sake of all the generals, I will spare you for today. I will talk to you again tomorrow. I will definitely give you a discount then." Just use one of your legs."
After Wang Jin apologized, he took a peek and suddenly recognized it. It turned out that the majestic Captain Gao in the hall was the second-year high school student from the Garden Club in Tokyo! Wang Jin suddenly came to his senses after recognizing Gao Qiu and Gao Dianshuai as the former gangster in the streets of Tokyo, a sophomore in high school at Yuan Club.
There is a saying: A gentleman's revenge is never too late. It turns out that ten years ago, when I was a sophomore in high school, I had a stick match with my father, and one of my legs was broken by one of my father's sticks. He won't be able to rest for more than half a year, and he lost a lot of time. Therefore, he holds a grudge and wants to take revenge on me today. , I also have to discount one of my legs.
Wang Jin thought to himself, he is not afraid of officials, but afraid of management. If I fall into the hands of Gao Qiu, will I get any good results? ! Even with my good legs, I still have thirty-six stratagems. Walking is the best stratagem.
Since I can't afford to offend you, I'll always avoid you.
Take him away and let me go! That night, Wang Jin took his mother and ran away.
From then on, in the Huizong Dynasty, Gao Qiu, like the other five thieves, became one of the celebrities that Emperor Huizong relied on. First, because his brother Gao Yanei occupied Lady Lin, he forced Lin Chong, the instructor of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army. Liangshan; and then acted recklessly to prevent the heroes of Liangshan from joining the imperial court.
If Su Yuanjing, the captain in front of the palace, had not insisted on operating and recruited Song Jiang and other heroes, Liangshan would have only developed into another Fang La.
