Chapter 2786 Testing Loyalty
Gao Qiu came to Tong Guan's house, and Tong Guan's head was covered with a cloth to cool down.

He lost the sternness of the court, let Gao Qiu sit down with a flick of his hand and asked, "Why did Captain Gao come here?"

Looking at him, Gao Qiu must have been forced by the anti-kings everywhere.

He reported back to Tong Guan, "The purpose of my humble job is to recommend a general to suppress thieves to the privy envoy. If the privy envoy uses him, all the thieves in the world will be suppressed."

Tong Guan raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is it?"

Gao Qiu said, "Duke Qi, Gongming Song!"

Tong Guan has heard about Song Gongming and knows that Song Gongming offended Cai Jing and is now locked up in the capital prison.

He said coldly to Gao Qiu, "Don't you know the enmity between him and Grand Master Cai?"

Gao Qiu said, "The humble official knows, but the personal enmity belongs to the private enmity, and the public affairs belong to the official business. The humble official only wants to share the worries of the privy envoys, how can we abolish the public for private reasons!"

Tong Guan asked him, "Is this Song Gongming as powerful as you say?"

Gao Qiu said, "Don't worry, the privy envoy, I can guarantee you with the head of a humble official. As long as this Duke of Qi comes forward, the problem of rebels will definitely be solved."

Tong Guan thought for a while and said, "Aren't you afraid that he will make great contributions and embarrass us in court?"

Gao Qiu said, "Don't worry, the privy envoy, this person is extremely hypocritical, and he often pretends to be virtuous. We can suppress him and let him fight to the death with Fang La in Jiangnan and the rebels in the world. At that time, we will reap the benefits .Even if the world is in peace, he will not be able to turn the world over!"

Tong Guan laughed, "Interesting, Gao Taiwei solved my heart disease!"

He stood up all at once, asked the steward to come over, and told him, "Go and prepare the carriage, the envoy is going to the palace to meet the saint."

The steward immediately asked someone to prepare an official robe for him.

After Tong Jun went up, he brought Gao Qiu into the palace together.

Huizong is painting in the Gen Garden of the harem, with the new empress Li Shishi accompanying him.

This woman is wearing a light gauze dress with a boneless waist.

The fairy posture is outstanding, as charming as a peony.

Even Tong Guan, who was born as an eunuch, couldn't help but take a second look.

After Hui Zong finished painting the flowers and birds, he stamped a big seal on it, washed his hands under the service of the palace servants, and then asked Tong Guan, "Why did you two enter the palace?"

Tong Guan said, "Your Majesty, I would like to recommend you a good general who will stabilize the country. With him, all rebels in the world can be suppressed."

"Oh?"

Huizong sat down, took the brewed tea from Li Shishi, and asked Tong Guan, "Who is it?"

Tong Guan said, "Duke Qi, Gongming Song!"

Huizong thought about it, and said to Tong Guan, "This man is indeed talented, and he has a good reputation in Qidi. But some time ago, Grand Master Cai accused him of treason, didn't he and his son be locked up?"

Tong Guandao, "Your Majesty, this Song Gongming is indeed suspected of offending Your Majesty and trying to gain fame. But he is loyal to my Song Dynasty and has absolutely no intention of treason."

Hui Zong smiled and said, "That's weird. I remember that you used to be the same as Grand Master Cai. It seems that you have a bad relationship with Song Gongming, right?"

Tong Guanzheng said in a lingering manner, "This is a public matter. How can I abandon my personal interests because of public affairs. Even if the personal relationship between my minister and Song Gongming is not good, but for the sake of the Song Dynasty and for your majesty, I can bear any criticism."

Huizong nodded and said, "I am very pleased with your sincere patriotism. As you said, I will approve your request!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Tong Guan and Gao Qiu excitedly kowtowed to thank each other.

At this time, Li Shishi suddenly said to Huizong, "Your Majesty, since Grand Master Cai reported that Song Gongming had the intention of treason, we can't let him go without making any investigations, right?"

Huizong laughed, "How does Aifei want to detect?"

Li Shishi made a suggestion, "Then kill his son, make meat buns, and then let Song Gongming eat it, and say that His Majesty rewarded him. If he doesn't eat it, he will be disrespectful to His Majesty from the bottom of his heart." If he wants to eat it, it means that he sincerely submits to His Majesty."

Both Tong Guan and Gao Qiu gasped, thinking that Mr. Li must be too ruthless, right?
They have also harmed many people, but when were they so vicious?

The most poisonous woman's heart, she really does not deceive me.

Huizong pulled Li Shishi into his arms and laughed loudly, "Aifei is really extremely intelligent, this plan is very clever!"

He told Tong Guan, "Just follow what Aifei said, and try that Song Gongming's loyalty."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Tong Guan and Gao Qiu wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, bowed down with Hui Zong and left tremblingly.

They finally understood why Li Shishi was so ruthless when he first entered the palace and was conferred the title of Holy Grace.

Even they are ashamed of themselves.

Li Shishi looked at their backs, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth.

Inside the prison of the capital, Song Gongming held the book of war in his hand, and used stones and hay to lay out an army formation on the ground.

Stones attack, hay defends.

One side is wedge-shaped and the other side is square.

Looking carefully at the formation, there are various changes. It seems that the two armies are rushing to fight in front of the formation, and the changes are unpredictable.

At this time, the prison chief brought people over, and he cupped his fists to Song Gongming, saying, "Song Guogong, I'm here to see you."

He had someone prepare wine and meat, and put them in for Song Gongming.

Song Gongming opened the wine jar and smelled it, and said happily, "Well, my daughter is red, this is a bar where Jiangnan women only drink when they come out of the pavilion?"

The jailer nodded, sat opposite him and set out the dishes.

He poured wine for Song Gongming, and he and Song Gongming drank a bowl together.

Before finishing a bowl of wine, he covered his face with his sleeve, and burst into tears.

Song Gongming looked at him and raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean, brother?"

The jailer wiped away his tears, and said to Song Gongming, "There are people coming from the palace. I will let them wait outside first. Your Majesty missed you and rewarded you with a basket of steamed buns. Duke Qi can eat this basket of steamed stuffed buns right away." went home."

"steamed stuffed bun?"

Song Gongming's fingers trembled, he stared at the cell boss as if he realized something, and suddenly said hoarsely, "But something happened to my son Shiwen?"

"Don't ask Duke Qi, I'll let them come in to announce the decree!"

The cell boss couldn't bear to look at him, got up and went out.

Soon, a servant dressed in palace clothes entered the door, and Song Gongming took out the imperial decree at the top of his voice and read out, "Qi Guogong, Song Gongming, the hereditary duke of the country. They have always been sincere and sincere. Song. However, there are rumors that slander Duke Qi has the intention of treason. I don’t believe it, and I specially gifted Duke Qi with a cage of meat buns. I hope that Duke Song will return to the fief after eating it and continue to work hard for Song. I will not owe you any merit. "

After the waiter finished reading, Song Gongming was already in tears.

He yelled at Song Gongming, "Duke Qi hasn't accepted the order yet?"

Song Gongming didn't respond for a long time, and his heart was filled with grief and anger.

The servant scolded, "Duke Qi, do you want to disrespect the edict?"

The guards behind him pulled out the long knives in their hands.

The light of the saber reflected on Song Gongming's eyes, causing Song Gongming to wake up suddenly, and immediately kowtowed and bowed down, "Sir, Song Gongming, take the order to thank you!"
