Chapter 7: Discouraged, lazy, ambitious, go with the flow, and don't force it

In the tent, Lu Junyi and Gongsun Sheng were a little unbearable when they heard this, Lu Junyi said: "Although Fang La is in Jiangnan, his Manichaeism is also incompatible with my White Lotus Sect, but it can be regarded as the same as us, and we are forced to be helpless, so we raise the flag to resist, even if we don't help him, we don't have to calculate with him like this, it is immoral." ”

Gongsun Sheng also said: "When the dynasty has no way, and the traitorous ministers take power, only then can Hua Shigang and Ying Fengfeng cause trouble in Jiangnan, and I don't know how many families in Jiangnan have been forced to die, and Fang La and others have to hold high the banner of righteousness and rebel against the government." I, Liangshan, have always adhered to the moral deeds of doing things for heaven, if I calculate Fang La, I am afraid that the world's heroes will laugh shamefully. ”

Sanniang glanced at Huang Wenbing, Huang Wenbing bowed his head slightly, and then Sanniang smiled and said: "This is the words of Huang Junshi's family, although my Liangshan has recruited An, but I still have mercy on Fang La's righteous army, so my White Lotus Sect secret agent and secret guard can help him, and my Liangshan can only do this, as for when to help, I can only do what I can." ”

Lu Junyi and Gongsun Sheng both bowed their heads and said: "This is the words and deeds that do the way for heaven." After a pause, Gongsun Sheng said again: "Fang La, I only hope to be able to support it for a longer time, this time, after I return to Liangshan, I should master the land of Shandong Road and Sizhou as soon as possible, set the charter, and make a good business." As long as Shandong Road is well managed, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the water is impenetrable, there will be no fear of the government doing any more to cut the feudal domain. ”

Huang Wenbing said: "Exactly, striking iron still needs its own hardness, once my Shandong Road is strong, why fear that the government will repeat it?" ”

Sanniang said: "That's exactly what I said, since that's the case, I should return to Shandong as soon as possible, receive Mizhou, Dengzhou, and Qingzhou, and then transfer troops and horses to garrison, recruit soldiers and civilians to reclaim, prosper the industrial and commercial industry, enrich my money and grain, raise soldiers and people, and prepare for the confrontation against the official army and the cutting of the domain!" ”

It was agreed on the night plan, and early the next morning, the Liangshan military horses continued to travel eastward, and Zhuwu in West China had their own flying pigeons to pass the book to the past, and as soon as the imperial court decree such as Zhu Wu's department arrived, they would open the east.

The words continued, and soon the Liangshan military horses returned to Jeju, and Jeju Zhang Shuye, Chen Xizhen, Chai Jin and other guards came out of Guo to greet him, only to see that the Liangshan military horses all played the banner of the Great Song Dynasty, and sure enough, Zhao'an was successful, and Zhang Shuye, Chen Xizhen and others were all happy.

On the same day, the army was stationed outside the city, and Sanniang led Lu Junyi, Gongsun Sheng and others into the city to rest. Zhang Shuye, Chen Xizhen, and Chai Jin held a feast to celebrate, and Sanniang introduced Qiao Daoqing, Sun An, Bian Xiang, Ma Ling, Qiong Ying, Ye Qing, Tang Bin and other new generals and everyone, and they were all overjoyed.

During the banquet, Uncle Zhang raised his glass and said: "Congratulations to Xuanfu for finally recruiting the imperial court, opening the town all the way, and being the first case in the court, which is really gratifying." Sanniang also raised her glass and smiled: "It's still Zhang Taishou who maintains a lot, and I Liangshan has not broken this road to peace." ”

Uncle Zhang was happy in his heart at night, and said with a smile: "Xuanfu makes him loyal and righteous, and does the right thing for heaven, but he is just persecuted by traitorous ministers, and now the court has awakened and recruited loyal and righteous people, and in the future, Xuanfu will make a good life and do his best for the country, which is the blessing of all the people." ”

Sanniang sighed and said: "Zhang Taishou is really high-spirited, and now he is recruited, but he doesn't ask about himself, he only thinks for the people of the country." Uncle Zhang said: "Yu Ben is the Taishou of Jeju, losing the land is already a big crime, and then he escaped from prison and bent the law, even if this trip is Zhao'an, the court will not forgive him, and Yu has no words." ”

Huang Wenbing said with a smile: "The good teacher is too shou to be happy, this trip to recruit An, Zhang Taishou, and Chen Tongzhi are all recruiting for forgiveness, but the Xuanfu envoy obeys the will of Taishou, and does not ask the court for a seal." ”

Uncle Zhang sighed at night, bowed his hand and said, "The guilty minister bows to the emperor." Chen Xizhen frowned and said, "Don't Taishou want to be out of office?" Uncle Zhang said: "The body is already dirty, how can you have the face to be an official again?" ”

Sanniang shook her head and smiled: "Taishou doesn't have to be arrogant, if there are more loyal and honest officials like Taishou in the court, how can my Liangshan get to such a point?" If Taishou begged to go, it would be a great pity for the people. Taishou peace of mind, before separating from Su Taiwei, I told him that although Zhang Taishou did not seek an official position after recruiting An, the imperial court could not lose such a loyal and good general, and asked Su Taiwei to play on his behalf, and he must teach the imperial court to seal the official position again. ”

Chen Xi said happily: "If there is a Su Taiwei to protect him, he can come back as an official." Uncle Zhang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I am discouraged and lazy, and I no longer have ambitions." Sanniang said with a smile: "If the holy decree is issued, will it be too good to resist the decree when the time comes?" Uncle Zhang was speechless.

Sure enough, only two days later, Li Bangyan came to Jeju again to pass the decree, this time Li Bangyan was ordered to come, one is to bring Qingzhou, Mizhou, Dengzhou to hand over the will of the Shandong Road Xuanfu envoy, and the other is to come to pass the decree, reward the rest of the generals in Liangshan, and the official positions are all sealed according to the performance of the Sanniang to ask for a reward, and there is no discrepancy, but at the end of the edict Zhang Shuye for the Shandong Road to preach the envoy.

After everyone thanked for the grace, they were all beaming, Chen Xizhen congratulated Uncle Zhang at night, that is, he and his daughter were rewarded with official positions, and they were not so happy. Uncle Zhang frowned, Sanniang was also slightly surprised, and only smiled: "It seems that this hand should be from Wen Huanzhang's handwriting, it must be his strategy, and the imperial court will seal Zhang Taishou as a consolation envoy, that is, I regard my Shandong Road as those Tusi feudal towns in the land of the Southern Barbarians, and I need a consolation envoy to ease the cheeks between the feudal towns and the imperial court." It seems that it is not easy to do this errand. ”

When Uncle Zhang heard this, he quietly accepted the decree and said: "Since the court has a will, I should obey it, and I will work together in the future, for the country and the people, and for the well-being of millions of soldiers and civilians on Shandong Road. ”

Sanniang's head was a little big when she heard this, and the court put Uncle Zhang here with her, obviously to put some eye medicine on her, which made her unhappy, but Sanniang didn't care, a Zhang Shuye, without power and no soldiers, what could he do? smiled at the moment and said: "As Zhang Xuanwei said, he must be good at working for the well-being of the military and civilians of Shandong Road." ”

Later, Sanniang instructed the military horses to pass the order and teach Lin Chong, Chen Liqing and other military horses left behind in Liangshan to come to Jeju to gather. A day later, Lin Chong, Chen Liqing and others led the military horses and came to Jeju to join the army. After the two military horses will meet, it is naturally very lively, Jeju outside the joint camp for more than ten miles, counting the military horses, a total of 170,000 military horses will gather in Jeju, it is really thousands of troops and horses, guns and flags are like a forest, and the men and horses are boundless.

Li Bangyan gave the will of the imperial court and showed all the armies that after changing their flags, they rewarded the three armies, and all the armies were thunderous. After being stationed for two days, Sanniang was in the Jeju Prefecture, and the generals of each army were assigned to lead the troops and horses of each department, and with the will of the imperial court, they went to receive various states and counties, all of which were assigned according to the above-mentioned duties.

said that Chen Liqing was hiding from Chen Xizhen at the beginning, but at this time, when the holy decree came down, Chen Xizhen knew that her baby daughter had been in Liangshan. After the meeting that day, Chen Liqing sealed the Qinghe County Jun, and on the reward banquet, the father and daughter sat on one side.

When there was a gap between the banquets, Chen Xizhen called Chen Liqing down the corridor, Chen Liqing lowered her head and followed, and she didn't dare to come out. Chen Xizhen looked at her daughter and said lightly: "Okay, it turns out that you have been near Liangshan all along, but you didn't teach me to know, this is arranged by the lord of Hubo." ”

Before Chen Liqing could answer, Sanniang's voice floated behind her: "Chen Dujian, I am already the Xuanfu envoy of the imperial court on Shandong Road, and I can't export it again." Chen Xizhen looked back, and the people followed, Sanniang was dressed in a straight hunting suit, and stood under the corridor with a smile.

Chen Xizhen had no choice but to step forward and salute: "Xiao Ke's family matter, I don't want to alarm the Xuanfu envoy." Sanniang said: "Miss Chen settled in Liangshan to avoid the pursuit of the government, and at that time, Chen Dujian and his family were all important criminals wanted by the imperial court." As for why Miss Chen went to Liangshan but was reluctant to meet with Chen Dujian, she had to ask Chen Dujian. ”

Chen Xizhen frowned and said, "Is there something wrong with me?" Sanniang said: "It's a big mistake." Previously, Chen Dujian arranged a marriage with Miss Chen, but arranged a Jin State spy, Shi Wengong's collusion with Jin Guo, with bad intentions, if Miss Chen got married, it would be a tragedy, and this was the reason why Miss Chen escaped from marriage. ”

Chen Xizhen said with an embarrassed expression: "I didn't know anyone before, so I naturally won't blame her for escaping the marriage." Sanniang smiled and said, "It's okay over there." I don't know if Metropolitan Eunuch Chen still wants to arrange a marriage for Miss Chen? ”

Chen Xi really bowed his head and said: "This is natural, men should get married, women should marry, don't get married, and make jokes." I only have this only daughter under my knees, so I naturally want to recruit a family affair to prolong my Chen family's incense. ”

Sanniang nodded and said: "Sure enough, it is a common thing in marriage, and this trip to Chen Dujian can see the matter of Qiongying and Zhang Qing?" Chen Xi really didn't know why, but said: "Naturally, it's a good thing, the two are a good match." I think there are many unmarried heroes in this Liangshan, and if someone is willing to join the family, I am also willing to marry my daughter. ”

Sanniang shook her head and said: "It's not that, I mean that Qiongying and Zhang Qingnai are destined by God, if you want to come to a heroic character like Miss Chen, the marriage must be destined by God, and you can't force it, otherwise you will go up to Shi Wengong, you can't ask for it, and what you ask for is not virtuous." ”

At this time, people are the most destined, and the story of Zhang Qing and Qiongying's marriage has already spread, Chen Xi is really envious, at this time after listening to Sanniang's words, he said thoughtfully: "No wonder I talked about marriage before, but it never happened, it turns out that my son's marriage is also destined by God, and I can only go with the flow, not forced?" ”

Sanniang smiled slyly and said: "Chen Dujian is really thorough, Miss Chen and those outstanding people like Qiongying must be people who are favored by God, and the marriage must have been doomed for a long time, you can't force it, you can only go with the flow." ”

Chen Xizhen sighed and said, "That's the only way to go." After a pause, he looked at Chen Liqing, who didn't dare to look at him, and said gently: "Since the Xuanfu envoy said it, let's not talk about the marriage for the time being, now you are also the county monarch, and you also have the position of the commander in your body, and in the future, you will be by the side of the Xuanfu envoy, and you will definitely have a good life to assist the Xuanfu envoy and serve the imperial court." ”

Chen Liqing hurriedly said: "The child knows." Chen Xizhen hummed and turned around and left, Sanniang squeezed her eyebrows at Chen Liqing, Chen Liqing glanced at her, and at this moment, Chen Xizhen suddenly stood still and turned around and said: "My father will go to Qingzhou to take office in a few days, and when I have nothing to do, I will come to Qingzhou more." Chen Liqing's eyes were slightly red and said: "Father is at ease, as soon as he has free time, the child will come to Qingzhou to visit." After hearing this, Chen Xizhen shook his head and sighed, Chen Xizhen's back was Xiao Suoshan under the light, and Chen Liqing's heart ached for a while, and her face couldn't help but become sad.
