Seeing that no one was talking, Huizong was anxious, and he patted the dragon case and said angrily: "On weekdays, you all boast about how capable you are, but now if something goes wrong, you are like eggplants beating in the rain, saying, how to deal with this matter?" ”

Although the artist emperor is mediocre but his temper is still good, he has rarely been angry, and the ministers were a little shocked when they suddenly saw him angry, and they didn't dare to speak, Cai Jing knew that he had to speak, after all, he was the emperor of the court, and he was also the prime minister, and he was the head of the hundred officials.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty is angry for the time being, Captain Gao accidentally fell for the enemy's tricks and was caught, he is an important minister of the court, and it is very important to Your Majesty, the country and the people, for today's plan, we must first rescue him from the hands of the thieves, and then find a way to deal with these thieves." ”

Huizong nodded and said: "Taishi is reasonable, Gao Qing has been serving me carefully for so many years, and he has never made a mistake, he must be rescued, even if he agrees to some conditions for the thief." ”

From here, it can be seen that the artist emperor is still very friendly with his subordinates, and would rather give up some interests to save Brother Qiu, but it is a pity that he lacks the ability to recognize people, and most of the people he trusts are traitors and villains.

Cai Jing couldn't do anything about it for a while, at this time Su Yuanjing said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thought that it was better to send a capable envoy to communicate with the people of Liangshan first, so far it seems that Liangshan's gang is different from ordinary thieves, although they have also seized several cities in Qingzhou, but according to some spies reported that they did not disturb the people, and even retained most of the officials, but they are not the kind of people who are extremely vicious." ”

Cai Jing was dissatisfied: "What is Taiwei Su called, have you forgotten the fact that Taiwei Chen was kind enough to recruit those thieves and robbers before, but was humiliated?" ”

As the leaders of the two factions, the two have never been harmonious, but Taiwei Su is not afraid of Cai Jing, and he is neither humble nor arrogant: "I have heard about that matter before, it seems that the two cadres of the Taishi and Gao Taiwei factions are inseparable, right?" It is said that after the two of them went, they deliberately stirred up trouble, for fear that Zhao'an would go smoothly, so in the end, Taiwei Chen's entire team returned smoothly, except for those two, and this matter is probably indispensable to the instructions of the master, right? ”

Cai Jing was immediately furious, but this was indeed the truth, and Su Yuanjing was not afraid of his might, so he shouldn't say anything for a while, Emperor Huizong's face sank and said: "Chen Zongshan, you come and see, is it as Su Taiwei said?" ”

Chen Zongshan secretly complained in his heart, although he was also a member of Cai Jing's faction, he didn't dare to offend Taiwei Su too much, not to mention that now the emperor personally asked questions, he had to say a few words, and put all the blame on the two dead ghosts, but he cleared Cai Jing and Gao Yu.

Emperor Huizong was furious and said: "What is not enough to achieve and more than to fail, dare to spoil the major affairs of the court, come on, remove all the officials of the two guys who dare to disobey my will, and then expel them all from the capital, in order to set an example, and the Taishi and Gao Taiwei are not strict, and they will be fined for one year." ”

Seeing that Emperor Huizong was angry again, who dared to object, not to mention that they were just two dogs, and if they died, they would die, shouldn't they be worried about their masters? So even Cai Jing himself didn't take it seriously.

Then Emperor Huizong announced the acquittal of Cui Jing, the imperial historian who had recommended Zhao'an last time, and sent him as a messenger to negotiate with Liangshan, as long as they were willing to release Gao Yu, the imperial court could pardon their current sins, and as long as they did not commit any more crimes, they would not send a large army to crusade.

Cui Jing has suffered a lot for no reason in the past few days, and naturally he also has grievances, of course, the holy decree cannot be disobeyed, but he did not intend to let go of the people who caused him to suffer, so he asked the emperor for his life, hoping that Chen Zongshan would be his deputy, Huizong agreed on the spot, Chen Zongshan couldn't help but secretly complain, knowing that he was going to be unlucky this time, if he had merit, it was not his business, and if he had it, he must have carried it, but he had no way at all.

Officialdom has its own rules of officialdom, last time he was equal to harming Cui Jing once, and Cui Jing didn't seize the opportunity to get back a game, no one can blame anyone, unless one side suddenly shows mercy, but this probability is not much higher than winning the lottery, people who can climb to this position are determined people, and they will not harm people easily, but if they want to harm people, they must let him never recover, otherwise the other party will never give up.

Cui Jing then gave the secret order, took many gifts, and set foot on the road to Liangshan with a frustrated Chen Zongshan and a team of hundreds of people.

At this time, Du Jia and the others had already returned to the mountain, but they said that when Song Jiang and his henchmen heard that Du Jia and their front were frequently reported, they were not only unhappy but extremely worried, and he said to everyone with a sad face: "We have killed and injured so many heavenly soldiers and generals, and the crimes are getting heavier and heavier, how should this be good?" ”

Just when he heard that the army had returned, and he had captured Captain Gao alive, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Insulting nobles, capital crimes, and I hope that Captain will forgive." ”

After speaking, he immediately asked his subordinates to get grosgrain fresh clothes, and he was going to change them with Gao Taiwei, Gao Yu couldn't help but feel proud again when he saw someone so in awe, and he was just about to shake his majesty, but when he saw Du Jia raise his hand, he knocked over the clothes, and sneered: "Isn't it a waste to wear such good clothes for dogs?" Brother Song, what are you doing to this kind of dog official, don't you lose the face of tens of thousands of brothers in my cottage? ”

The generals saw Song Jiang's face, except for those Song Jiang's henchmen, they all felt very ashamed, and after listening to Du Jia's words, they raised their eyebrows again, and Wu Song, Lu Zhishen and others laughed even more.

Song Jiang was shocked: "Brother, what are you doing here, this is Gao Taiwei, a first-class important minister of the imperial court, how can you be slow when you come to our cottage today?" ”

Du Jia sneered: "Brother Song, you think too much, Gao Yu can come to our cottage alive is just my subordinates showing mercy, otherwise only his head can go up the mountain now, I said Brother Song, why are your knees so soft, we have already planted the flag to rebel, that is the sworn enemy of the court, even if the emperor comes, you don't need to be polite, how can you kneel down when you see an official casually?" Where did you have the courage to write anti-poems in Jiangzhou at that time, I didn't hear that Huang Chao was afraid of any court officials back then, he even dared to occupy Chang'an, what kind of courage was it? ”

Song Jiang's face turned blue and white for a while, and he reluctantly smiled: "Jia Shaomo wants to laugh, I was just drunk and bold for a while, we are just temporarily sheltering here, and it is the right way to return to the imperial court in the future, with your talent, there will be no shortage of wealth and nobility in the future, why are you so obsessed?" ”

predicts how Brother Qiu will live and die, and listens to the next decomposition, alas, it's a pity that I can no longer hear the unique male duck voice of the old man Shan Tianfang, and I wish the old man a happy life.
