Chapter 17 The court will surrender to recruit An Liang Shan wishes to show off his military might

On the Jinluan Palace, Cai Jing heard the words of Cui Jing, the imperial historian, and said angrily: "The leader of the Liangshan Shui Bo thieves is the former Jizhou demon girl, this demon girl harbors evil intentions, pretends to be the mandate of heaven, commits chaos, and is anti-righteous and clear, sooner or later it will be the disaster of the yellow scarf and red eyebrows, how can you send a decree to recruit peace?" Such anti-thieves should be caught in a net, and the species should be killed to prevent future troubles. ”

Gao Taiwei also came out of the class and said: "This banshee confuses the public, creates her own demon sect, plots against her, and cannot recruit peace." ”

But the inner lieutenant came out of the class and said: "What Cui Jing said is not unreasonable, what the lieutenant said is only an inference." At this time, the woman had not yet raised her flag. Now he broke the Daimyo's mansion, but he only looted it and retreated, and there was no act of encroaching on the land. If she wants to rebel, she should attack the city, raise the flag with a false name, and now she retreats, and she still has doubts about it. If the heavenly army is recruited again, it is difficult to guarantee that this woman will not take risks, and if she really raises the flag, it will be too late to regret it. ”

In the court, the courtiers of the two factions of the main suppression and Zhao'an were in dispute, and the Daojun Emperor was also uncertain, so he said: "Let's discuss it later." ”

After retiring from the dynasty, Emperor Daojun summoned Cai Jing and Gao Yu to meet him alone. Emperor Daojun asked, "That woman surnamed Hu doesn't know what means she can use to defeat the heavenly soldiers?" Cai Jing said: "I heard that this woman is strong in martial arts, cunning like a fox, and scheming. He also deceived the public, pretending to be the destiny of heaven, and seducing her with beauty, so that a strong man obeyed her orders, and provided her wings for her to drive. Among the numbers, there are many outlaws in the rivers and lakes, and their methods are cruel, so they can defeat the heavenly soldiers. ”

Emperor Daojun sighed, and then asked, "How to be beautiful and charming?" What is the woman's appearance? ”

Cai Jing was slightly poor, and Gao Yu said: "This woman had previously committed a crime in Tokyo under the name of Hangzhou Chen, and now there are still her shadow drawings in the ya. ”

The Son of Heaven smiled and said, "Take a look." Gao Yu received the order and hurriedly ordered people to take the shadow graphics of Sanniang in the early years.

When the portrait was taken when he was young, the Son of Heaven asked again after reading it: "How old is this girl?" Gao Yu said: "I heard that I am only in my twenties. The Son of Heaven said: "I don't want to be so old." Before, she was only the one who was in trouble, she was born as a thief, and she was a dominatrix-like character, but now she doesn't seem to want to be so beautiful. ”

Cai Jing listened, frowned slightly, and said: "The official family is good, I heard that this woman has married a wife." The Son of Heaven said, "Oh? Who are you married? Cai Jing said: "It's the Liangshan thief Kou Chaogai." After Chao Gai's death, this woman presided over the Liangshan thief affair and committed evil. ”

The Son of Heaven said: "It's a pity to be widowed when you're young." Cai Jing's eyes twitched and said: "If the official family wants to see the beauty, it is better to send troops to recruit and suppress it, but if they capture this woman, they will be sent to the palace to meet each other." ”

The Son of Heaven scolded with a smile: "In order to see this woman's beautiful face, you want to be the king of Zhou? Cai Jing and Gao Yu didn't dare to say anything, and the Son of Heaven said: "I am quite moved to talk about Zhao'an in the court today, if I can not raise swords and soldiers, and subdue this group of thieves for my use, it is appropriate." ”

After Cai Jing heard this, he changed his mind for a moment and said: "Since this is the case, the ministers will do it according to the policy of recruiting security." ”

The Son of Heaven said: "Then take Chen Zongshan as an envoy, go to Zhao'an first, if this woman has no intention of recruiting An, then raise troops and horses to recruit and suppress." ”

Cai Jing and Gao Yu received the decree, so they passed the decree, and sent Chen Zongshan, the former lieutenant of the palace, to make the imperial wine, and went to recruit the people of Liangshan Bo. It was the day when Taiwei Chen received the edict and went home to clean up.

Taiwei Chen was about to pack up, and many people came to congratulate: "Taiwei is a state official, and the other is to share the worries of the people, and the army and the people will get rid of troubles." Liang Shanbo is mainly for the way of heaven, as long as the court recruits peace, the Taiwei can write some sweet words and add mercy. ”

While he was talking, he saw that the officials of the Taishi Mansion came to invite him and said, "The Taishi invited the Taiwei to speak." Chen Zongshan got on the sedan chair until he got off the sedan chair in front of the Taishi's Mansion on New Songmen Street, and the cadres went straight into the academy in the Jietang, saw the Taishi, and sat down on the side.

After the tea soup was over, Taishi Cai asked: "I heard that the Son of Heaven sent you to Liangshan Bo Zhao'an, and I would like to ask you to know: don't lose the discipline of the imperial court and mess up the laws of the country when you go there." You have heard that there is a cloud in the "Analects": It is shameful to do oneself, to be in all directions, and not to dishonor the king's life, which can be described as a contemplation. ”

Chen Taiwei said: "Zongshan knows everything, and Master Cheng advises." Cai Jing said again: "I asked this cadre to go with you." He saved a lot of laws, and he was afraid that you would not see anywhere, so he raised them with you. Mrs. Chen said: "I am deeply grateful for your kindness. ”

Cai Jing finally said: "This trip was hand-picked by the Son of Heaven for you, and there is another profound instruction. Taiwei Chen hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister's order." Cai Jing said: "I have heard that you Chen Zongshan is good at craftsmanship, and you are good at portraits, and the Son of Heaven sent you to paint a portrait of only one person." Chen Taiwei said: "I don't know who? ”

Cai Jing said: "It's the Shuibo woman, the Son of Heaven heard her name, wanted to see her face, and went to see that Zhangqing, when the picture came back to the royal view." Chen Taiwei said: "I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven will be obsessed with this woman's beauty, and it will be useless for Sheji." Cai Jing shook his head and said: "Today has its own measure, just do it, no need to say more." Taiwei Chen received the idea, resigned from the Taishi, led the cadres, left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and went home in a sedan chair.

Just after resting, the doorman came to report, and Gao Dianshuai dismounted. Taiwei Chen hurriedly came out to greet him, please sit down in the hall, and after asking about the cold and warmth, Taiwei Gao said: "Today, the imperial court discussed the matter of recruiting the demon girl of Liangshan, this female thief humiliated the imperial court, and the crime was heinous. If you want to wait for the echo, the jade sound has come out, and it depends on the general idea. If this female thief still ignores her conscience and neglects the holy decree, the Taiwei will return to Beijing early, and it is my wish to play the Son of Heaven, order the army on the hour, and go to the other side in person to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. The Taiwei is here, and the subordinate has a waiting, who can speak quickly, ask one answer and answer ten, so as to discuss things with the Taiwei. ”

Taiwei Chen thanked: "I feel that the palace marshal is worried, the Taishi has already spoken to him. Gao Yu sighed, and said: "Taishi's words are important, when Taishi's words are important, I only care about the face of the court here, if it is bad, I will listen to Taishi's instructions to do it properly." With that, he got up, and Mrs. Chen sent him to the front of the house and got on his horse.

The next day, Zhang Gan of Taishi Cai's Mansion and Li Yuhou of Gao Dian's Marshal Mansion, both of them arrived. Taiwei Chen tied the horses, counted the number of people, put ten bottles of imperial wine in the dragon and phoenix, and planted a yellow flag in front of him. Captain Chen got on the horse, personally followed five or six people, Zhang Ganban, Li Yuhou all rode horses, Dan Zhao carried his back in front, and led a group of people out of the New Song Gate. The officials below Captain Gao, as well as those who saw them off, all went back.

Out of the capital, take the canal and waterway, all the way to Jeju. Uncle Zhang, who guarded the night and Chen Xizhen, who controlled the soldiers and horses, then asked to set up a banquet in the mansion to treat each other, and asked about the section of Zhao'an, and Taiwei Chen said that he was prepared.

Uncle Zhang said: "On a certain foolishness, it is best to recruit An." Thinking about that one zhang qing, although she is a woman, she is a martial artist, amazing, and does not lose to men. If she can recruit An, Liangshan's majestic military horses, capable military generals, and sharp firearms can all be used by the imperial court. In this way, the country will be safe, and there will be no difference. It's just one thing, when the captain goes there, he must accompany some harmony, use sweet words, and sympathize with him, so that they can do evil together, as long as they accomplish great things. There are a few fiery men in his count, and if he bumps into her with a word, it will be a big deal. ”

Zhang Gan, Li Yu said: "Let the two of me follow the captain, it will not be too late." Taishou, you only discipline to be careful and kind, you must break the court discipline, the younger generations often suppress it, not half of it; If you put his head up, he will make an appearance. ”

Uncle Zhang said, "Who are these two?" Chen Taiwei said: "This person is the cadre in Taishi Cai's mansion, and this one is Yu Hou in Taiwei's mansion." Uncle Zhang said: "I have to teach these two to do it!" It is not good for these two to go and provoke the woman to turn against her. ”

Chen Taiwei said: "He is a confidant of the Cai Mansion Gaofu, if you don't take him there, you will definitely be suspicious." Uncle Zhang sighed at night: "Xiaguan's words are just good, I'm afraid that the hard work will be fruitless." Zhang Gan said: "Let the two of me go, there will be no trickle of water." Uncle Zhang didn't dare to speak anymore.

On the one hand, a banquet was arranged and sent to the hall for rest. The next day, Jeju sent a messenger to Yangsanpo to report the news.

However, it was said that Sanniang governed the cottage every day, drilled military horses, discussed military conditions, and waited for the officials and soldiers to come again to conquer and suppress. When the flying pigeon in Tokyo came to pass the book, it was said that the Song Dynasty sent an envoy to recruit An. After getting the news, Sanniang summoned all the leaders to discuss.

After sitting down, Sanniang told the Song court about sending envoys to recruit An. When the leaders heard this, they whispered one after another, and Li Kui jumped out and scolded loudly: "What kind of bird is An, if he dares to come, he will go out with a stick." Wu Song also shouted: "This bird court, repeatedly sent troops to recruit and suppress us, if you recruit peace, you will still listen to those traitorous ministers, but you are suffocated to death." ”

At the moment, all the leaders echoed their words, and they were unwilling to recruit peace. Guan Sheng said: "The traitorous ministers in the court are in charge, and the officials are mediocre and ignorant, how can they be recruited by him?" Hu Yanzhuo said: "If you are recruited, the brothers will definitely be scattered and resettled, and if you lose your support, you will definitely be harmed by his poisonous plan one by one, and you must not recruit peace." ”

Sanniang and Huang Wenbing glanced at each other, both with smiles in their eyes. Sanniang raised her hand to stop the restlessness of the leaders and said: "I am a guest from afar, although we don't want to be recruited by him, but if I don't see him behind closed doors, I will teach him to underestimate us." I mean, if he wants to come, he will come, I will wait for the cottage up and down, put out soldiers and horses to greet him, teach him to see how strong the soldiers and horses are in my cottage, and also scare the old man of the Zhao official family. ”

The leaders burst into laughter. At that moment, Sanniang ordered the dispatch, and all the leaders acted separately.

Sure enough, after ten months, the Jeju government sent someone to write a book, but was intercepted by the patrol guard Yangsan. Later, the news came up, and Zhu Gui led the Jeju messenger to the Zhongyi Hall, and said: "The imperial court has sent a Tai Lieutenant Chen Zongshan to ten bottles of imperial wine, forgive sins and recruit An Dan Zhao, and has arrived in Jeju City, where he is ready to greet him. ”

Sanniang smiled when she heard this: "Ten bottles of imperial wine will come to Zhao'an, and this Zhao Guan's family is also a little stingy." Huang Wenbing smiled: "Let him come." "Send the messenger back now, just wait for Mrs. Chen to arrive. (To be continued.) )
