Chapter 11 Marriage

(Draft, draft, draft!) Say the important thing three times! Tong Guan burst out laughing when he heard it and shouted, "Hahaha...... I'm going to have a calamity, it's ridiculous! I have commanded thousands of troops and horses, and I have made many military exploits. It is valued by the Son of Heaven and supported by hundreds of officials. If you go out, you will be sent for ten miles, and if you enter, you will be greeted by hundreds of officials. What is wrong with me? If you don't have a three-inch tongue, you don't have to do it. Come on, throw this white-mouthed scholar into the vat and cook it! ”

When the guards in the two columns heard this, four people immediately stood up, holding halberds, trying to catch Wu Yong.

When Shi Xiu and Xue Yong saw it, they immediately pulled out the short knife in their arms, ready to protect Wu Yong to kill out of Tongfu.

For a moment, the room was filled with tension.

Wu Yong shook the feather fan and said indifferently: "Since you don't believe it, why don't you listen to my explanation to you?" ”

Tong Guan heard that he stretched out his hand to stop his subordinates and said, "Okay, I'll listen to what you have to say about this scholar!" ”

"Shi Xiu and Xue Yong put the knife back! Don't worry, Lord Cardinal won't kill us. Wu Yong motioned for Shi Xiu and the two of them to step back, and he said, "Lord Minister, you must also know that your biggest calamity is in the imperial court!" You can be reused by the emperor because you understand military affairs, and the emperor can rest assured that the army will be put in charge of you. But now the eastern and western armies led by the two eunuchs Yang Jian and Tan Zhen in the south of the Yangtze River have defeated the Fang La army, proving that you are not the only eunuch who understands military affairs. Do you think your status in the mind of Emperor Daojun will be as high as before? I'm afraid it may not be! Without the emperor's favor, do you think your position as the prime minister can still be secured? Even those people you offended before will take advantage of your loss of power and take your life in groups. Adults are not civil officials, but they are not eligible for preferential treatment! Haven't you ever thought about the cause and effect of this? ”

Tong Guan heard what Wu Yong said that hit his weakness, and the inner courtyard of the palace was more cruel and insidious than that of the court. In the past, he was able to get the emperor's favor and was supported by everyone, not only in the palace, but also in the outer court. But once he loses power, it's good to be thrown into the storeroom, even if he dies in that bitter well, it's not surprising at all.

Tong Guan understands that he will spend a lot of money, make friends with various favorite concubines, and desperately blow the pillow wind in front of the emperor, what he is afraid of is losing his position and losing his life.

In the past, he was a eunuch who knew military affairs, and he won battles one after another, and the emperor valued it. But now that he has lost one battle after another, not to mention, those two opponents Yang Jian and Tan Zhen are leading the troops to victory, this comparison, I am afraid that I have now dropped a level in the emperor's mind.

No, absolutely not. We must find a way to regain the emperor's attention, and even favor.

Thinking that he would fall into such a crisis was caused by the gang of thieves in front of him.

Tong Guan looked at Wu Yong with a fierce look in his eyes, eager to swallow these Liangshan thieves alive.

Finally, Tong Guan calmed down his anger and said coldly: "You said before that you saved your life. How to save? ”

Wu Yong said: "I said before that we are willing to negotiate peace. If you Tong Guan go to the court first, say that our Liangshan has been severely injured by your Tong Guan, and take the initiative to ask for peace talks and return to obedience. Do you think the emperor will value you again. As long as our army is submissive, we can also help you go south to destroy Fang La's army first! When the time comes, you will hold the Zhao'an army and extinguish the exploits of the Fang La army, who in the court can threaten you again! ”

Tong Guan didn't believe that Liang Shan's gang would be so kind and help him for free. He shouted, "What conditions do you have?" ”

Wu Yong shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "As long as the imperial court agrees to hand over the eleven prefectures of Dengzhou, Laizhou, Jeju, Yanzhou, Mizhou, Qingzhou, Weizhou, Zizhou, Qizhou, and Yizhou to the jurisdiction of my marshal, our marshal is willing to submit to the Great Song Dynasty, and can even obey the orders of the imperial court and help the imperial court attack Fangla, and even Liao!" ”

Tong Guan suddenly shouted when he heard this: "This is absolutely impossible! This will be just another Western Xia, and the official family will definitely not agree to it! ”

Wu Yong said: "This is the bottom line of my marshal, if you agree, we guarantee that this place will be stable from now on, and there will be no more bandits!" If you don't agree, then we'll take it ourselves! ”

Tong Guan scolded: "Now that Jiangnan Labu will be wiped out in the future, then the imperial court will be able to use its free hands to deal with you Liangshan thieves with all its might, and in front of a million troops, even if you have three heads and six arms, you will not escape being exterminated." ”

Wu Yong counterattacked: "That's because my Liangshan army didn't make a move, as long as my Liangshan army came to the aid of Fang La, the imperial court will definitely not be able to destroy Fang La's army!" As long as the imperial army is dragged in the south of the Yangtze River, our army can rest assured that it will attack Qingzhou and Qizhou! ”

Tong Guan sarcastically said: "How can you help? Fly over with wings, or hit all the way. Don't say that I won't let you go south easily, even if you can hit Jiangnan, I'm afraid that Fang La's army has already been wiped out. Your army is lonely, coupled with the fact that you are not accustomed to the water and soil, and you are not familiar with the terrain, you will only kill yourself. ”

Wu Yong shook his head and said, "It seems that we can't get along." But that's okay, I'm sure after a while, maybe the cardinal will change his mind! ”

Tong Guan said: "No, maybe after a while, I can see all of you being taken to Beijing and being tortured in a prison car!" ”

After coming out of Tongfu, Wu Yong and the others did not go back at all, nor did they go to Beijing, but directly found a restaurant in Lei Ze to live in.

Walking into the room, taking out the four treasures of the study from the package, Wu used a pen to explain today's events in detail, stuffed them into an envelope, and stamped them with clay marks.

Wu Yong called Xue Yong over, "Brother Xue, bother you." Leave today and hand over this letter to the marshal! ”

Xue Yong arched his hand and said, "Mr. Wu, don't worry, I will definitely hand it over to the marshal as soon as possible!" ”

With five of his subordinates, riding fast horses, Xue Yong could leave the city and rush to Jeju.

Wu Yong and the others left, but Tong Guan still didn't get up, he was still sitting in his place, thinking about what the intentions of this gang of thieves were coming today. How dare they put forward such conditions?

Is it posturing, or is it something else?

Tong Guan recalled in detail the events of Jiangnan, Liangshan, and the imperial court during this time, hoping to find clues to deduce the intentions of the Liangshan thieves.

But Tong Guan couldn't think of anything.

Just as he was upset, Bi Sheng walked in.

Bi Sheng arched his hand in front of Tong Guan and said: "Lord Cardinal, those thieves went out of the house, but they didn't go out of the city, but directly found a restaurant to live in. My lord, these thieves are so rampant, they simply ignore you, my lord. The last general will take people to take down all these people and escort them to Beijing to ask for merit! ”

Tong Guan heard that Wu Yong's gang didn't go out of the city, and actually found a restaurant to live in.

He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't leave the city, all stayed in the city?" ”

Bi Sheng replied: "No, they sent a team of people out of the city on horseback, look at the direction, it should be to Jeju!" ”

Tong Guan pondered for a while and said, "The two armies will not fight each other!" Killing these few people seems to be my childish and ignorant of the rules. What's more, they are just a few leaders of Liangshan, and killing them will not have much impact on Liangshan's forces, but will stimulate Liangshan bandits to fight with our army. Now our army does not have many soldiers and horses, if they Liangshan bandits do their best, although they can't conquer Razor, but it will also cause losses to our army's soldiers and horses. There are not many soldiers and horses in our army, and if there is any more damage, it will not be worth it. Anyway, as long as the Fang La army is eliminated, when the imperial army returns to the division, it will be the time when their Liangshan thieves are destroyed. Let's let these thieves run rampant for a few more days, General Bi, you send people to strictly monitor these things, and you must not relax somewhat, lest they have other plans! ”

Bi Sheng hurriedly shouted: "Yes, Lord Cardinal." This is what I will do! ”

When Bi Sheng sent hundreds of people to ambush near the restaurant, monitoring Wu Yong's people all day long.

Xue Yong rode a horse and finally arrived at Juye City after running for two days.

At this time, Shi Jin and the others had already returned to Juye City to sit in town and coordinate the overall situation.

On this day, in the Yazheng Hall of Juye City Mansion, Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, Xu Guanzhong, and Lin Chong were receiving Chai Jin, the envoy of Fang La, and his party.

Seeing Chai Jin and the others walking into the house, Shi Jin hurriedly stood up and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Chai Jin is still beautiful, which makes Shi so envious!" ”

Chai Jin had the look of the day at this time, his cheeks were thin, his eyes were dark and swollen, and he looked very tired.

Chai Jin heard it and said bitterly: "Marshal Shi is here to laugh at Chai!" On the way, Chai Jin heard that the marshal had captured Dengzhou, and he was afraid that he would be able to control the entire territory of Shandong in a few days. As long as you take advantage of the situation to conquer the capital and kill the dog emperor. I'm afraid that this world is only in the marshal's pocket! Chai is here to congratulate the marshal! ”

Shi Jin shouted in surprise when he heard this: "Brother Chai, this is trying to trap me in disloyalty and injustice!" I, Shi Jin, have always been loyal and self-exhorting, how dare I do such a thing as killing the king. Brother Chai said carefully! ”

Seeing that at this time, Shi Jin still flaunted his loyalty, and his hypocritical appearance made Chai Jin feel very sick as if he had swallowed a fly.

But no matter how sick I was, I thought that I had a request for this guy. Chai Jin had no choice but to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Marshal, there are virtuous people in the world to rely on." Qin lost his deer, and the world chased it. When today's son is mediocre and unreasonable, the marshal is famous for his benevolence and righteousness, and it is precisely because he should take the world as his own responsibility. Marshal, don't make a mistake yourself, lest you miss the opportunity! ”

Shi Jin shook his head and said, "Brother Chai doesn't need to say it anymore, my Shi Jin's heart can show the sun and the moon." I only ask for mercy from the saints, forgive sins and recruit peace, so that Shi Jin can serve the court and leave a name in history in the future! As for the rebellion, Shi Jin didn't dare to think about it! ”

"Marshal, you ask me to say ......"

When Chai Jin just wanted to continue to persuade, Shi Jin interrupted and said, "Brother Chai Jin, what are you doing here today?" ”

Chai Jin saw that Shi Jin refused to admit that he wanted to rebel, and felt that it was not interesting to continue, so he smiled and said: "Today, I came in the hope of marrying two families: my father-in-law has a younger sister, and now he has reached the age of marriage. If the two families can get together in Qin and Jin, then the imperial court will not dare to face up to our two families! ”

Hearing that Chai Jin came today to promote his father-in-law's sister, Shi Jin was stunned for a moment.

Shi Jin hurriedly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip to hide his momentary panic.

Putting down the tea bowl, Shi Jin excused himself and said: "Thank you Brother Chai Jin for your kindness, it's just that I am now twenty-six or seventeen years old, and I already have a wife, and your father-in-law's sister is at a young age, I'm afraid I'm not a good match for him!" ”

Chai Jin shook his head and said: "My father-in-law's sister, born virtuous and beautiful, but she has always had a high vision, and it is often said that her future Langjun must first be both civil and military, famous all over the world, and second, she must be dignified and majestic." How many strange men in this world have such a demeanor? But Brother Shi Jin, you are dignified and famous, and you are her good match. As for age, it's not a problem, as the so-called beauty with a hero, how can you look like each other with your age? Brother Shi Jin can rest assured of this! Although the marshal already had a wife, in ancient times, in addition to the wife, there were also flat wives. If I treat her as an equal wife, I believe my father-in-law will agree! ”

Let's not talk about Chai Jin talking about his father-in-law's sister, that is, his sister-in-law has the problem that the bottom drift is not beautiful!

To marry a sister who may be an enemy, Fang La was killed by the court after this day, she cried all day long to persuade Lao Tzu to help her avenge her hatred, and even in the future in order to recover Jiangnan, she killed Fang La, she was angry while Lao Tzu was asleep, a knife down, what to do if Lao Tzu was killed?

Marrying her, it's a big trouble at all!

Shi Jin didn't pay attention to the crazy glances of Zhu Wu and Xu Guanzhong, and just opened his mouth to excuse himself: "Brother Chai Jin's kindness, I Shi Jin understands it." Just ......"

But before Shi Jin finished speaking, Zhu Wu said: "Hahaha, thank you Brother Chai Jin for your kindness." It's just that the marshal of my family has a thin face, and he is embarrassed to agree to come down in person. The marshal of my family and your father-in-law are both noble people, and this marriage event must not be shabby, so as not to make outsiders laugh. In these three books, there must be no mistakes in the process of the six rites. Chai Jin might as well live in the wing room first, and soon, the marshal of my family will have an elder Nacai! ”

Chai Jin heard the joy and said, "That's right! Then I'll go back first and wait for the marshal's letter of appointment! ”

After seeing Chai Jin leave happily, Shi Jin suddenly shouted to Zhu Wu angrily: "Zhu Wu, what do you mean by this? How could we agree to this family affair without our consent! ”

Zhu Wu arched his hand and said, "Marshal, please be calm and don't be impatient, listen to me!" ”

"Say!" Shi Jin shouted with a straight face.

Zhu Wu said: "This time, Fang La's army suffered heavy losses and was powerless to fight against the imperial court. Previously, the marshal had rejected Fang La's proposal for an alliance. This time, I'm afraid that they are also forced to form an alliance through marriage! ”

Shi Jin interrupted his birth and shouted, "Of course I know, but didn't we make a plan early on to send troops to conquer Hangzhou and support Fang La?" This has nothing to do with whether she gets married or not, it doesn't matter at all! ”

Zhu Wu said: "Marshal, if you send troops, you must send troops. But this time he sent troops to support Fang La. In the end, it was Fang La who benefited the most. Our army was able to get it only by buying a little time. In this case, troops are going to be sent anyway. Why don't you try your best to get a little more benefit for our army! As far as I know, Fang La's sister Fang Baihua is a saint in Manichaeism, and she is known as the princess of Jinhua! If the marshal marries her, it is impossible to say that the marshal can take the opportunity to win over part of the forces of the Fang La army! If you attack Jiangnan in the future, you can also use her fame to win the hearts of the people! ”

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said: "If we think like this, I'm afraid that we will fall for Chai Jin's plan!" ”

"What!" Zhu Wu shouted in surprise.
