Chapter 5 Introduction one

Sometimes, it's not just pies that fall from the sky, but also footballs. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. If this person is not Gao Lian, then he may only be hit in the face by a flying football, and may even smash the treasured grate knife in his hand (that is a rare treasure) , Waiting for him will be the fate of being beaten or laid off. But that person is Gao Qi, a Gao Qi with great skills.It was too late and then it was too late, I saw Gao Qi holding the jade box in his hand, and came up with a 360-degree "kick the purple gold crown" (this trick was later spread to Colombia, the South American continent, and a lunatic goalkeeper named Iquita was in the game. In the American arena, this move shocked the world, but it is obvious that Gao Lian's movement is more difficult because he still holds the box in his hand), and kicked the ball back to Duan Wang beautifully.

At that moment, Gao Lian's fate was transferred. Regarding Gao Qiu, Mr. Jin Shengtan, the first book critic of "Water Margin", once made the following judgment, saying, "If you don't write about Gao Qiu, if you write about one hundred and eight people, you will write about yourself; if you don't write about one hundred and eight people, you will write first." To write about Gao Qiu is to create chaos from the top." Everyone understands what Lao Jin means, that is to say, without Gao Qi, there would be no rebellion by the buddies in Liangshan, and there would be no middle-aged death in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Lao Jin is too exalted, Gao Qiu on the stage of real history is far from being so beautiful. Gao Qiu served as an official in Sanfu Yitong Sansi (the first-rank literary official in the Tang and Song Dynasties). In the Northern Song Dynasty, the officials who could sit in this position were all influential figures in the political arena of the Northern Song Dynasty. Han Jiang, Wen Yanbo, Cai Jing , Tong Guan, etc., regardless of their merits and demerits, are all listed in the later "Song History", and they will last forever or remain infamous for thousands of years. However, Gao Qiu was forgotten by the historians. "Song History" mentions him only in a few words.

Gao Qiu's family background is no longer testable, and the identity of Gao Qiu who appeared on the stage of history is a little book boy. Of course, the identity of this book boy is not simple, because his master is not simple-Su Shi, the number one talented scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty. Under the influence of Su Men, despite his humble status, Xiao Gao has acquired a lot of skills, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, playing and singing, all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, not to mention golf skills, which will pave the way for his future life. Prosperity laid a solid foundation.

After Gao Qiu became rich, he never forgot the kindness of the Su family. Every time a child of the Su family came to Beijing, Gao Qiu warmly received him. . As the number one talented person in the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Shi was good at making friends. Not only did he like to recite poems and paint pictures, but he might also have a hobby of giving book boys to others (probably the quality of the book boys under his school was too high, and they were considered treasures at the time).No, when Su Shi thought that Gao Li had grown from an ordinary school boy to a senior school boy, he hurriedly gave him away.

At first, Su Shi wanted to give Gao Qiu to Zeng Bu, one of the "Nanfeng Seven Zengs" in the same year of Jiayou's second year, but Luohua wanted to be ruthless, but Mr. Dongpo's kindness Zeng Bu refused.The reason is probably that although Cao Bu and Su Shi have a good personal relationship, they have different political stances.Zeng Zixuan is the number one general under Wang Anshi's banner, so of course he has to disassociate himself from the conservative Su Shi. Su Shi had a bad nose, but he did not give up the practice of exporting talents. He succeeded the second time, and he gave Gao Li to another friend of his, Wang Shen and Wang Jinqing.

Wang Shen was good at calligraphy and painting, and he had a good friendship with the cultural celebrities at that time. He was even close friends with Su Dongpo and Mi Fu. Another identity is the consort of the dynasty, the husband of Princess Wei, the daughter of Song Yingzong. The dual identities of the royal family and the cultural person brought Wang Shen very close to another romantic prince who loves literature. Although they are a generation behind, the two cherish each other and have become confidants. This prince is Duan Wang Zhao Ji (in " In Water Margin, Uncle Shi got their seniority wrong).

Once Wang Shen and Zhao Ji met at the court meeting. Zhao Ji had just had a drink in the brothel the day before, and he came in a hurry without combing his hair. Wang Shen took the comb knife he carried with him to comb Zhao Ji's hair. Zhao Ji looked at Wang Shen's grate knife, and said, Uncle, your comb is the best, exquisitely carved, and very valuable for art collection. Wang Shen said that your vision is really accurate, this is really a treasure, I still have one, and I will send it to you tomorrow. Not long ago, Wang Shen sent Gao Qiu, who had become his book boy, to send a shovel knife to Duan Wang. Duan Wang not only took a fancy to the shovel knife Wang Shen sent, but also his man-Gao Qiu, who is a top-notch player.

From then on, Gao Qiu became the man of Duan Wang, and when Duan Wang Zhao Ji became the eighth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Gao Qiu's spring also came. As Zhao Ji's confidant secretary, it took Gao Qiu a lot of trouble to step onto the political stage.In the Northern Song Empire at that time, family background was not mentioned, but status was concerned. To serve as a civil official above the county magistrate, one had to be a scholar in the imperial examination. However, the literati group Gao Qiu couldn't squeeze in, so he could only develop into the army and gain seniority in the army.

So Zhao Ji sent Gao Qiu to the army to serve under Liu Zhongwu, the general of Jingyuan Road at that time.Following Liu Zhongwu, he made great achievements in suppressing the Tubo Zhao Huaide's rebellion against the Song Dynasty, successfully completed the task of gilding the grassroots, and has been on the rise ever since. It should be said that Gao Qiu is a person who does not forget the past. He did not cross the river to demolish the bridge to his old boss Liu Zhongwu when he was on the job. It was not unrelated to the court to walk for him, and after Liu Zhongwu died, Gao Qiu did not forget the son of the deceased, and recommended Liu Zhongwu's son to Huizong to become an official.

Who is Liu Zhongwu's son?It was Liu Kai, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty who later made great contributions to protecting the southern half of the Zhao family.It seems that Gao Li has done something beneficial to the empire. In his life, although he had been a high-ranking official like Du Taiwei, Sanfu Yitong and Sansi, he had neither great power nor major faults.His faults recorded in the unofficial history can be counted as trivial matters, such as occupying the army's territory as his own to build a private house, and often sending soldiers to work in his own mansion for no salary (can this be considered a problem?). Probably the historians also felt that if Gao Qiu was included in the "Biography of the Traitor" based on these trivial matters, the term traitor would be too cheap. "History of the Song Dynasty" didn't even bother to write a biography for it. Of course, when selecting the six thieves in the Huizong period, the high-level players were not shortlisted. Gao Qiu was actually just a villain who was favored by Emperor Huizong and Zhao Ji.His ability and harm to the empire are not great. Apart from his good football, he also has a bit of loyalty in the world. He can be regarded as the Northern Song Dynasty version of Wei Xiaobao. In the first year of Jingkang (1126 A.D.), the Jin people invaded. When Song Huizong Zhao Ji heard that the Jin people had killed him by the Yellow River, he was so frightened that he took his cronies and fled in a hurry. Among this group of people was the former book boy, Gao Qiu, the number one star of the empire. . But when they came to Sizhou, Gao Qiu had a conflict with Tong Guan and others. At that time, Tong Guan, who was in charge of the military power, gave Gao Qiu a small shoe and asked him to stay and lead 3000 soldiers to break the rear.This is undoubtedly to send Gao Qiu to his death. How can Gao Qiu not know this truth after all these years.As soon as Zhao Xin's troops left, he led his troops back to Kaifeng and participated in the defense of Kaifeng led by the new emperor Song Qinzong Zhao Huan. The Jurchens retreated briefly, and after Zhao Ji and his group returned to Tokyo, the responsibility for the barbarians' plundering of Beijing was naturally to be borne by someone else. Fortunately, I have to say that this king is lucky. Gao Qiu died of illness in the first year of Jingkang, ending the life of the only villain in Chinese history who became famous because of his football skills.
