However, it was said that Sanniang had discussed with Qiong Ying and Ye Qingxian, so she led Qiong Ying and others back to Liangshan together, and arranged Qiong Ying first in the lower part of her inner garden. Qiong Ying saw Chen Liqing in the inner garden, both of them were heroines, and they talked very happily after meeting, Qiong Ying Ye Qing and Sheng Ben lived in Liangshan first and did not mention it.

Within a day, news came from Tokyo, saying that Cai Jing had been dismissed and returned to his hometown, and Sanniang convened the leaders to discuss the matter. Everyone didn't know that Sanniang had an agreement with the official family, so Gongsun Sheng said strangely: "This official family acts, so unpredictable, if you want to say that he listened to the words of Yan Qing and Li Kui brothers, and wants to send traitorous ministers, he should be punished together with Tong Guan, Gao Yu and other thieves, why did Cai Jing fall alone?" and Cai Jing's sons are also in the court, the Cai family is powerful and deep-rooted, what does it mean to go to a Cai Jing? ”

Sanniang said with a smile: "This is the emperor's mental technique, if four of them are sent out at the same time, and then Cai Jing's party is completely uprooted, it will definitely shake the country's foundation." But if Cai Jing is dismissed from office and his group is leaderless, he can beat Cai Jing and his party, and this official family is not just a person who can practice calligraphy. ”

Lu Junyi said: "Since we have waited for Cai Jing to be dismissed, how can I send troops to Shanxi?" Sanniang said: "Cai Jing's dismissal is a reassurance for the official family and us, which means that he knows who the traitors in the court are, and as soon as Cai Jing goes, the court will not raise troops to recruit me Liangshan, and sooner or later there will be envoys to appease." I intend to prepare soldiers, horses, grain and grass in the village first, only after the arrival of the envoy of the Song court, I told him about sending troops, and reached a tacit understanding with the Song court, and then I can send troops to Shanxi. ”

Shu Nei Lin Chong frowned and said: "Senior sister, although Tian Hu has done a lot of injustice, he also raised troops to resist the official army, I Liangshan here sent troops to exterminate him, will I teach the heroes of the rivers and lakes to laugh shamefully?" ”

Sanniang said: "Tian Hu is only 56 counties in five states, so he raised 100,000 soldiers, and also built a palace to exploit the people. There is a lot of news in Shanxi, saying that the people there are exploiting and living, and the people are not living. Moreover, when my White Lotus Sect was preaching in Shanxi, I was mostly blocked by him. This time, the lord of Qiongying came to ask for revenge, which is a good time for us to send troops to Shanxi. ”

After a pause, Sanniang continued: "And I also have a secret report, bluntly saying that Tian Hu and Jin Guo have a lot of secret communication songs, although I don't know what to discuss, but think about it, before Jin Guo sent Zeng Tou City to infiltrate my Central Plains, if Jin Guo destroyed the Liao Dynasty in the future, but to go south, then Tian Hu will be the internal response!" So that the thief should be eradicated first, so as to prevent future troubles. ”

Speaking of this, the leaders bowed their heads one after another, and Sanniang finally smiled: "Of course, this battle is not for the Song court to fight in vain, as long as we wait to recover the fifty-six counties of the five states, we can threaten the Song court, teach me to open a town in Liangshan, and dominate Shandong, if he does not allow it, I will divide my troops and then dominate the five states in Shanxi, and with a little management, it will be another Huazhou, and teach the Song court headache, which is more important, and the Song court officials will weigh it." ”

The leaders were all overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately according to Sanniang's military order, they prepared soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and only prepared to go to war.

Sure enough, a few days later, news came from Tokyo, saying that the Song Dynasty had sent Taiwei Su Yuanjing as an envoy to Liangshan to pacify him. Sanniang appointed herself to prepare, just waiting for Su Yuanjing to come.

But it was said that Emperor Daojun dismissed Cai Jing that day and ordered him to return to his hometown for retirement. The next morning, sit in the Wende Palace. Wenwu Banqi, the Son of Heaven announced the curtain and ordered the ministers to leave and right, and the Son of Heaven said: "If there are four thieves today, I ordered Zong Ze to go and exterminate Fang La, but there are still Zhuwu in Huaxi, Liangshan in Shandong, and Tianhu in Hebei, how should I clean it up?" ”

Tong Guan, Gao Yu and others had words before, and Tong Guan went out of the class first and said: "I prepared soldiers and horses and boat divisions before, just to conquer Liangshan. But he didn't want the shipyard to be burned down by thieves, and all the boats and new ships were burned down, and a lot of money and food were lost. Now that the navy has no ship, it is difficult to conquer Liangshan Shuibo, and the minister is foolish, so he should send an advance envoy to pacify Liangshan, and first teach him not to raise troops to invade the territory, and try to slow down. ”

Gao Yu also came out of the class and said: "Now the thieves of Liangshan Shuibo dominate the canal with a naval army, if there is no excellent boat master to go, it will be useless." However, the needs of hundreds of thousands of households in the Beijing division were all transported by canals, and the advance envoy was sent to pacify, order them to withdraw their troops, and let go of the transportation to alleviate the distress of the Beijing division. ”

The Son of Heaven frowned and said, "Who can say that the thieves will retreat?" Tong Guan said: "I heard that the female thief of Liangshan intends to open the town, if she can agree to this matter, there may be a turnaround." ”

He hurriedly turned Chen Guoting and hurriedly said: "Since the founding of the country, this dynasty has cut down the feudal towns and collected military power, so that there have been more than 100 years of peace and prosperity, how can this precedent be set today?" Gao Yu said: "It's not unprecedented, there are many Tusi Domain towns in the southwest, which is a precedent." Chen Guoting said angrily: "How can the wilderness land in the southwest be on a par with Shandong? ”

In the number, he turned to Su Yuanjing, the chief lieutenant in front of the hall, and said: "This discussion is still early, when the advance envoy is sent to Liangshan, ask carefully, know his intentions, and then make a judgment." The Son of Heaven said: "Qing's words are very true. ”

At that moment, the Son of Heaven said: "Let's ignore the matter of opening the town of Liangshan first, and only send one person to pacify, listen to his words, watch his deeds, and make a decision." I don't know who can go? Before the holy announcement was over, Taiwei Su Yuanjing knelt down from class and said: "Although the minister is not talented, he is willing to go to the past." But this can be done in the name of Zhao'an first, so as not to lose face of the court. ”

The Son of Heaven was overjoyed: "Qing's words are very good, and the widow writes the edict himself." Then he called the imperial case, brushed away the edict paper, and the Son of Heaven wrote the edict on the imperial case. Left and right close ministers, the imperial treasure was served, and the Son of Heaven used it himself. He also ordered the treasury officer to teach 36 gold medals, 72 silver medals, 36 red brocades, 72 green brocades, and 18 bottles of Huangfeng imperial wine. And give from the table twenty-four boils, the golden word Zhao'an royal flag, limited to the next day. Su Taiwei resigned from the Son of Heaven in Wende Palace. There is a poem as evidence: a letter of grace shows the bright light, and the Liangshan is fully dressed. Knowing that Huairou won the expedition, the repentant son was wounded.

Let's say that Su Taiwei took the royal wine, gold and silver medals, Duan Kai, and the things inside the surface, got on the horse and went out of the city, played the yellow flag with golden characters given by the emperor, and the officials sent them out of Nanxun Gate. Tong Guan and Gao Yu arrived in front of them, and Tong Guan said: "There is a word today, I am going to Liangshan, I am afraid that you will not be able to make up your mind when you encounter something, and I will be specially taught to send a secret decree, if it is difficult to make a decision, you can open it and see." ”

Su Yuanjing was overjoyed, and immediately bowed to it, Gao Yu said: "This is the first thing to dredge the luck, and now I said that if the female thief asks for some money, goods, and silk, if it is not much, you can allow it first." Su Yuanjing received the words, said goodbye to everyone, and went to Jeju to march, no problem.

After seeing Su Yuanjing leave, Tong Guan and Gao Yu turned back to Tong Guan's Privy Mansion, but there was one person waiting in the hall, it was Wen Huanzhang, a staff officer of Cai Jing's Mansion. After Wen Huanzhang worshiped the two, they each sat down, and Wen Huanzhang said: "Enxiang has left Beijing yesterday, and before leaving, he taught me to entrust the two subordinates to work." ”

Gao Yu was overjoyed and said: "Mr. is talented, you can first serve as a staff officer in my mansion." Wen Huanzhang got up and thanked him and said: "Grace said, he has only been gone for a few years, and he will definitely recover, and teach the princes to be reluctant to do state affairs and not slack off." Tong Guan said: "This is natural." ”

Gao Yu said: "Since Mr. is here, I have a question, why does the Son of Heaven want to recruit peace this time?" Wen Huanzhang said: "It is rumored that the Son of Heaven is fortunate to be in Tianqing Temple, but it is a private meeting with the Liangshan female thief, and there are many fragrant rumors during it. The villain once heard that the Son of Heaven hung the portrait of the female thief on the screen of the study in the inner garden, and it was obvious that he admired the female thief in his heart. ”

Tong Guan frowned and said: "It's really a demon girl who is a disaster to the country, and she is very harmful." Wen Huanzhang said: "Now that Su Yuanjing has gone to Liangshan Zhao'an, no matter whether the female thief wants to open a feudal town or dominate Shandong, Xiaosheng thinks that he can agree first, and then order him to send troops to recruit Tian Hu, Fang La and other thieves, and then collect Huazhou Zhu Wu." If she leads the army to recruit Tian Hu and Fang La, the defeat is the best, and she can take advantage of the situation to take her down in one fell swoop, if she wins, I am afraid that she will also lose both, and then slow down, so that Liang Shan is cut off, and in addition to Tian Hu Fang La, Zhu Wu, etc., the thieves in the world can be subdued, which is counted in one fell swoop. ”

Tong Guan, Gao Yu and others were all overjoyed when they heard this, and they all said: "If there is news from Su Yuanjing, we will definitely play it and teach him to send troops to recruit Tian Hu and Fang La!" ”

Not to mention how the three discussed, besides, Su Taiwei was ordered to come to Liangshan Bo Zhao'an, and he went around Jeju with all his men and horses, and they all arrived in Qingzhou first. Qingzhou Mansion Yin out of Guo greeted the city, and settled down in the pavilion. The Taishou living room has been completed, and he has taken the wind wine. Nafu Yin said: "Now that the imperial court has issued an edict to recruit An, it has been the second time, and it has been a major national event because it is not anyone. Today's Taiwei will make great contributions to the country! ”

Su Taiwei said: "The Son of Heaven recently heard that Liangshan Bo is a gang, focusing on righteousness, only playing the banner of punishing traitors, Qingjun side, and acting for Tianxingdao, not harming the good people, and now sending the lower officials to the Son of Heaven to write the edict himself, giving 36 gold medals, 72 silver medals, 36 red brocades, 72 green brocades, 18 bottles of Huangfeng imperial wine, and 24 boils inside and outside. ”

The Qingzhou Mansion Yin said: "This group of people, not in the importance of gifts, the captain will definitely succeed." Su Taiwei said: "It's just that this time I came here, there is still an important task, that is, to make him dredge the Cao Yun first, I don't know if there is a good way to persuade him?" ”

Yin Dao, the Qingzhou Governor: "Just more than ten days ago, the Liangshan Naval Army had already released the Cao Yun, but the passing ships had to pay the passage fee, and they could pass through the canal waterway safely." At first, the merchant ships did not dare to pass, but a few days ago, some merchant ships could not wait for time, and after paying the centi, they were able to pass safely. In recent days, there have been a lot of civilian ships and merchant ships, but only the official ships have not received the will of the imperial court, and they have not dared to pass. ”

Su Yuanjing said happily: "It turns out that you only need to pay money to pass, but I don't know how much it costs?" Nafu Yin said: "The cost is not much, the quality price of the goods is 1,000 yuan, and the goods of 1,000 yuan are only paid one penny." Su Yuanjing said: "When I was young, I wrote to the imperial court to explain the matter, and I also taught the official ship to pay the centi, and then I could pass." ”

Nafu Yin said: "It's just that the official ship of the imperial court has to pay the money to buy the road with a thief through like this, but I am afraid that it will be spread out, and it will not look good." Su Yuanjing said: "This is pedantic words, if it is a hindrance to face, the official ship is not enough, entrusting civilian ships and merchant ships to transshipment on behalf of them, and generally paying some gold, just asking for the continuous supply of the Beijing division, which is also generally promising." When Nafu Yin heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth and praised: "The captain is really smart." (To be continued.) )
