Chapter Eighty-Three: Stopping the Devil's Claws
Although Wu Song did not say the records of the unenlightened monarch in the history books of later generations, the words he blurted out were actually a great disrespect to the current emperor. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, Empress Jiang did not pursue Wu Song's point, he glanced at Wu Song meaningfully, and said: "Today, Long Live Lord is working hard, and I am just a small official, and I dare not talk about the saint." However, even if the reform of the law is not implemented, the people of the world will be exploited by local tyrants and inferior gentry at all levels, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the burden will be very heavy. In contrast, we still prefer to trust the imperial court. Besides, the whole world is not the king's land, and the people of the world are originally the emperor's people, and it is also the duty of the subjects to contribute more to the emperor! โ
Go! What a mess! As a person who has traveled from the 21st century, Wu Song certainly cannot believe in any monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, and the whole world is not the king's land.
Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence. He didn't argue with Empress Jiang anymore on this topic, and took his leave.
This short conversation with Empress Jiang made Wu Song feel two feelings in his heart.
One is that after Cheng Jiang in this county, she is indeed deeply hidden, and she seems to be a person with feelings and ambitions. In this way, it is even less like the masked man who assassinated Hu Qin, that is, the secret agent of the traitor Tong Guan who was ambushed in the yamen of Qinghe County.
So, who is this Tong Guan secret agent?
Another feeling is that Wu Song suddenly became suspicious of the reform that Xu En was about to implement in Qinghe County.
Before the crossing, Wu Song was in an era of reform and opening up, and naturally felt that reform was correct and necessary, and he had also learned Wang Anshi's deeds of changing the law in middle school textbooks, so Xu Enyi said that this reform was to inherit Wang Anshi's will, and Wu Song naturally agreed, thinking that it was a great thing.
But now it seems that such a reform is just a traitor Cai Jing in order to better accumulate more wealth for the emperor, which is not conducive to the common people at all. No wonder, in the "Water Margin" that I watched before the crossing, this era was portrayed so unbearable, there were officials everywhere who forced the people to rebel, and in the end, Wu Song and Song Jiang also went to Liangshan to rebel!
So, does Wu Song still have to wholeheartedly and unconditionally support Xu En's implementation of the reform of the law?
Xu En has the grace of knowing him, and the purpose of this reform is to increase taxes for the emperor, and objectively it will hit hard at local tyrants and inferior gentry like Zhang Dahu, because they rely on annexing a large amount of land, selling private tea, monopolizing the government to sell salt, etc., to loot the people and accumulate a lot of wealth, and the reform will deprive them of these privileges and return these privileges to the imperial court. If the reform of the law is conducive to cracking down on Zhang Dahu, it will also be conducive to rescuing Pan Jinlian and changing the fate of Pan Jinlian and even his elder brothers Wu Dalang and Wu Song.
Therefore, at least for the time being, Wu Song might as well take a step at a time and support Xu En's implementation of the reform in Qinghe County.
Alas, if only all the reforms could be adjusted and led by me, then the reforms I am promoting must be beneficial to the people of the world!
In Wu Song's mind, such a thought suddenly popped up.
After all, he and his brother Wu Dalang are also ordinary people at the bottom of society, and their feelings are naturally on the side of the common people. What's more, he is a traverser. In the pre-time era, democracy had become the general consensus that any reform was illegal if it was not for the benefit of the people. Therefore, it is not surprising that Wu Song would naturally sympathize with the common people.
He immediately thought: This round of reform was led and designed by the traitor Cai Jing. Then, if he wants to adjust the reform measures, he will have to become a big official like Cai Jing.
However, according to the records in "Water Margin" before the crossing, it is impossible for Wu Song to become a big official like Cai Jing. The trajectory of his fate will be to flee, meet Song Jiang, Jingyanggang fight tigers, kill Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing, drunk and beat Jiang Menshen, blood splash Mandarin Duck Tower, walk Centipede Ridge at night, fall grass in Erlong Mountain, go to Liangshan, accept Zhao'an, go around to conquer, and finally die in lonelinessใใใใใใ
So, in this life, is it possible for him to change his fate?
These can only be taken one step at a time and do your best.
In the next few days, Wu Song continued to supervise the investigation of the case. He wanted to thoroughly investigate who the Tong Guan secret agent lurking in the Yamen of Qinghe County was, and he also had to investigate the details of the other two masked people and the whereabouts of Fang Jinzhi. Also, the existence of the "Situ Testament". Wu Song had the idea of taking the "Situ Testament" in his own hands and not letting Cai Jing or Tong Guan take it away. Because, these two people are big traitors, and it will be a big bad thing for the strange book to fall into the hands of any of them.
In addition to investigating the case, he also officially began to get involved in the reform of the law. According to Xu En and Jiang Hou's deployment, Wu Song's duty is to maintain social stability during the reform of the law, and for this reason, he needs to make relevant arrangements, and if there is any resistance to the reform of the law, and when it is necessary to arrest and arrest people, he can take immediate action.
These things are trivial and busy. However, in the midst of triviality and busyness, Wu Song certainly did not forget to seize the time to practice the Dharma Heart Sutra, nor did he completely forget a person.
Pan Jinlian.
How is she? Is her father's funeral over? Once the funeral is completed, will she be immediately connected to Zhangjiabao by Zhang Dahu?
Thinking that Pan Jinlian might soon be connected to Zhangjiabao and fall into the clutches of Zhang Dahu, Wu Song felt unacceptable in his heart.
If he just wanted to prevent Pan Jinlian from being forced to marry his brother Wu Dalang in the future, so he wanted to change Pan Jinlian's fate, then even if Pan Jinlian was temporarily connected to Zhangjiabao, he could not care. After all, Zhang Dahu will soon be hit in the process of reform of the law, and Wu Song still has a chance to rescue Pan Jinlian.
However, after crossing over, the contact with Pan Jinlian made Wu Song realize that Pan Jinlian at this time was not only beautiful, but also filial, kind, simple, and strong, and was still a good girl, not the vicious woman written in "Water Margin".
Therefore, Wu Song felt even more that he couldn't let such a good girl encounter the bad luck of being ravaged and destroyed by Zhang Dahu again! He couldn't see such a good girl, once again like what was written in "Water Margin" before the crossing, because she was persecuted by Zhang Dahu, and her personality was distorted, and she finally became a bad woman who poisoned her husband and was unruly! That's tantamount to murder!
Perhaps, he should still work hard to prevent Pan Jinlian from being forced into Zhangjiabao and prevent her from being violated by Zhang Dahu and even Huang Li's family!
Anyway, now that Tailor Pan has died, Pan Jinlian no longer needs to submit to Zhang Dahu in order to treat her father. She can bravely get rid of Zhang Dahu's clutches and pursue her own life.
If you say that in the previous life "Water Margin", Wu Song killed his sister-in-law Pan Jinlian with his own hands in order to avenge his brother; Then, in this life, in order to save his brother, Wu Song should work hard to save Pan Jinlian and prevent her from repeating the mistakes of the past. This may also be a kind of compensation for Pan Jinlian in her previous life?
Thinking of this, Wu Song became even more determined to prevent Zhang Dahu from robbing Pan Jinlian. That afternoon, after taking care of the affairs of the yamen, he strode to Pan Jinlian's residence.
