On the Juxian Hall, Su Yuanjing presented the edict of the Son of Heaven in front of the incense case, Sanniang led everyone to bow down, Su Yuanjing read loudly: "The system said: Since I ascended the throne, I have ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness, and the public reward and punishment have been determined to fight. Remembering Liang Shanhu, Lu Junyi, etc., he is loyal and righteous, does not commit tyranny, has been obedient for a long time, and has an awe-inspiring ambition to serve. Although they have sinned and sinned, each has its own reasons, and he has deep pity for his heartfelt feelings. Su Yuanjing, the former lieutenant of the special mission hall, held the edict, personally went to Liangshan Shuibo, and pardoned the crimes committed by people below the Liangshan Hu clan. Thirty-six gold medals, thirty-six red brocades, and other leaders such as the Hu family; Seventy-two silver medals, seventy-two green brocades, and were given to the leaders of Hu's subordinates. When the pardon book arrives, don't be discouraged, return to obedience early, and it must be reused. Therefore, I hereby forgive and I would like to know about it. The edict was issued on October 13 in the autumn of the second year of Xuanhe. ”

Su Yuanjing read the edict of Dan, Sanniang and other thanksgiving has been completed, Su Taiwei took the gold and silver medals, red and green brocade sections, all handed over to Sanniang said: "This trip to come, I don't know the real number of the leaders in the village, gold medals, red brocade thirty-six, silver medals, green brocade seventy-two, is the approximate number, if there is a shortage, the owner can say that he knows, and the official begs to make up for it." If it is excessive, it does not have to be returned, and the owner can dispose of it himself. ”

Sanniang smiled slightly: "If you count the deployment in Huaxi, it may not be enough, but the place in Liangshan is enough." After a pause, Sanniang said again: "Captain Su, it is hard to come to the summons this time. The Son of Heaven first forgave us from our sins this time, and then rewarded me with goods, and taught me to return to obedience as soon as possible, and he was indeed very sincere. ”

Su Yuanjing said: "This is nature, the Son of Heaven has come down with grace this time, the rain is open-mouthed, and the owner must not live up to it." Sanniang smiled and said: "The official family has a heart, and it is more sincere than the last trip." It's just that I still have three things that I don't know, so please show me the captain. ”

Su Yuanjing said: "But it doesn't hurt to say that the owner of the berth. Sanniang said with a smile: "I have always taught people to surrender and surrender, and they must explain the conditions." In the edict of the Son of Heaven, it is only said that if you return to obedience early, it will be reused. What kind of official position will I hold when I am converted? To put it bluntly, that is, there are no conditions, who surrenders? This is one of them. ”

Before the words fell, all the leaders of Liangshan clamored, and Li Kui shouted loudly: "Exactly, don't say what official positions we have, just exempt us from our sins, and ask us to surrender?" Lu Zhishen shouted: "The Sprinkle family used to be under the jurisdiction, but after the surrender, is it still the jurisdiction?" The three ruans all shouted: "No surrender, no surrender, no conditions, no submission!" ”

Although he saw that the leaders were annoyed, Na Su Yuanjing was not panicked, but just smiled and did not say anything. Sanniang waved her hand, and the leaders gradually extinguished the noise, and Sanniang said: "Second, my Liangshan and Huazhou Zhu Wu are in the same vein, so I have exempted all of us in Liangshan from sin, and I came to recruit Liangshan, so what about Huazhou?" And how? ”

The leaders shouted again, Ou Peng, Ma Lin and the others were concerned about the old brothers in Huazhou, and they shouted the most fiercely: "It is these words, just recruit me Liangshan, but don't mention Huazhou Zhu Junshi and them, I can't wait to be obedient!" ”

When Su Yuanjing heard this, he still didn't wave, and he seemed to have expected this. Sanniang said again: "Third, my Liangshan played the banner of the Qing monarch and the traitorous ministers, I don't know how the traitors in the court and the middle of the court fell?" If you want us to be ministers with a group of traitorous ministers, we will not die! ”

All the leaders shouted: "I swear to die that I don't want to be a courtier with a traitor!" For a while, the crowd was turbulent, Su Yuanjing and the others were all discolored, Sanniang looked at Su Yuanjing with interest, but found that this person was not moved at all.

When he was young, Sanniang raised his hand to stop the restlessness of the leaders, and after gradually quieting down, Su Yuanjing saluted and said loudly: "What the master said, every sentence is reasonable, this time the official came to pass the decree, and the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven has been made clear, first give the goods, forgive the sins, and appease the hearts of the leaders." As for the conditions for recruitment, you can talk about it! ”

All the leaders were slightly stunned, and Sanniang praised and said, "Okay, this time Su Taiwei is here, and he must have a good talk." Su Yuanjing said: "This is natural, I will meet you first today, and the rest of the things will be discussed tomorrow!" At that moment, Su Yuanjing called to open the imperial wine, took the sea of silver wine, poured it into it, and then took the ladle and scooped the wine, warmed it in front of the hall, and poured it into the silver kettle.

Su Taiwei insisted on Jin Zhong, poured a glass of wine, and said to the leaders: "Although Su Yuanjing is ordered by the king, the special imperial wine is here, and the orders are given to the leaders. The leaders thanked him.

After Taiwei Su finished drinking, he poured wine again, and persuaded Sanniang first, and Sanniang drank it all with a smile. Then Lu Junyi, Gongsun Sheng, and others drank one after another, and persuaded dozens of leaders in the hall to drink a drink.

Then Sanniang passed the order and taught to put away the imperial wine, but asked the captain to sit first on the left, and sat in the center, and the leaders sat in turn. Sanniang said: "Taiwei is coming from afar, the saddle horse is tired, and I will have a drink and banquet first, and then I will personally visit the scenery of Liangshan with Taiwei." Su Yuanjing thanked him: "It's so good, I feel a lot of hospitality from the host." ”

At that moment, Sanniang ordered a feast to be set up and invited Su Yuanjing and others to the banquet. After the banquet, Sanniang, Lu Junyi, Gongsun Sheng, and more than ten iron guards led Su Yuanjing and others to visit the scenery of Liangshan.

On the top of the Jade Emperor, after seeing the tomb of Chao Gai, Su Yuanjing also stepped forward to worship and salute for several weeks. Gongsun Sheng saw it, and said to Sanniang: "This Su Taiwei seems to be very sincere in this trip. Sanniang said with a smile: "We burned the Tokyo Shipyard, and the Song Dynasty has no ships to organize a naval army, how can we compete with my Liangshan army for the canal?" This is a strategy to appease the slow army. ”

When Lu Junyi heard this, he said: "Then what we want to do is to open the feudal town and dominate Shandong, but I am afraid that the imperial court will not allow it, so I will delay it, so what can I do?" Sanniang said: "It's because we are going to take the lead, in the name of conquering Tianhu, send troops to Shanxi, and then dominate the fifty-six counties of five states in Shanxi, then I want to see if Song Ting is willing to give in!" ”

Visiting for a day, Sanniang has a large banquet in the evening to entertain Su Yuanjing, the hall is up and down, all are ranked, a feast is set up, and the lamp is taken in turn. There was a lot of buzz in front of the hall. Although there is no cannon dragon to cook the phoenix, it is a sea of Roshan wine. All the days were drunk, and everyone returned to the curtain to rest.

After his death the next day, Su Yuanjing got up early in the morning to freshen up, and then put on his official uniform and ordered someone to introduce Hu Sanniang. After Sanniang heard the report, she ordered Lu Junyi and Gongsun Sheng to meet with Su Yuanjing and others in the Qingfeng Elegant Pavilion in the inner garden of Juxian Hall.

In the cabinet, the guests and hosts sat down, and there were only Sanniang, Lu Junyi, and Gongsun Sheng on the Liangshan side, and only Su Yuanjing and Liu Xuanjiao on the court side. After tea, Su Yuanjing first said: "Yesterday, the owner of the park has already seen the sincerity of the emperor of the imperial court, and I don't know what the owner asked for yesterday, what is the goal?" ”

Sanniang said: "I only have three conditions here. Su Yuanjing said: "But it doesn't hurt to say that the lord of the park, if the official can allow it here, he can agree on the spot, if it is too big, he will go back to Beijing tomorrow and then make a judgment." ”

Sanniang smiled and said, "Okay, please listen to me." First, since the Huazhou Zhu Wu Department is in the same vein as my Liangshan, if you want to recruit An, you will naturally recruit An, if Liangshan and others are pardoned for their sins, the sins of Huazhou and others will naturally be pardoned together. ”

Su Yuanjing said: "If the owner of the park can order Huazhou and recruit peace at the same time, he will naturally pardon the sins of Huazhou people and others, and will never break his word." ”

Sanniang said: "Okay, Taiwei is fast, Huazhou will naturally listen to my orders, and there is no difference, let's make a decision, once I recruit an in Liangshan, Huazhou will also recruit an an." Please listen to my second condition. Su Yuanjing said: "Master Bo, please speak." Sanniang stared at Su Yuanjing word by word and said: "After I am recruited in Liangshan, I want to open the town of the domain, and Yongzhen Shandong!" ”

Su Yuanjing's face changed slightly, but then recovered, and then said: "The feudal towns have always been different, and I don't know whether the feudal towns opened by the lord of the Bo are only seeking food or military power? Sanniang said: "I opened the town, here in Shandong, all the rights of the big and small should naturally belong to me, all the way to Shandong, the big and small officials have my fate, civil, wealth, money and food, transportation, teachings, military horses and other large and small affairs, all I govern." ”

Su Yuanjing's face changed greatly when he heard this, and after thinking hard, he asked, "What about Huazhou?" Sanniang said: "Huazhou is the same as Liangshan, and it also opens a town." Su Yuanjing frowned and said, "The owner of the Bo has too much appetite, how can he open two feudal towns at the same time?" The matter of opening a feudal town is already related to the national system, and it is a difficult thing for the Son of Heaven to allow it, how can two places be opened together? ”

Sanniang said: "The so-called sky-high asking price and paying back the money on the spot, Su Taiwei thinks that my request is too much, so I can offer a bid code to counteroffer, I didn't say that I am not allowed to bargain." ”

Su Yuanjing was dumbfounded, and said dumbfoundedly: "Should the lord of the Bo ask for favor from the imperial court, is it a bargain in the market?" Sanniang Yu waved her hand and smiled: "It's all about profit, what's the difference?" Su Yuanjing was speechless, Sanniang said: "I don't like to be miserable, just say anything, today's breeze and elegance in the pavilion, there are only five of us, well, you will report to Zhao Guan's family later, there are six people in the whole world who know about this, everyone doesn't say it, who in the world will know how we recruit An?" ”

Su Yuanjing smiled bitterly: "The owner of the park is eclectic, and it is really peculiar. Sanniang pouted: "You are directly scolding me in your heart for being a country woman who has never seen the world." Su Yuanjing hurriedly said: "How dare you." Sanniang smiled: "It's okay, in fact, I often scold everyone in your court in my heart for being a mediocre person who wants to save face and suffer crimes." ”

Su Yuanjing couldn't cry or laugh, and Sanniang said again: "Okay, let's take a step back in Liangshan, if the Son of Heaven agrees to me to open the town of Fan, Yongzhen Shandong, we can give up Huazhou, I will order Zhu Wu's department to move all of them to Shandong, how about it?" ”

Su Yuanjing got up and arched his hand and said: "The matter is big, and the official does not dare to agree to this matter, but he will definitely return to the court to play tomorrow, and there will be an echo." Sanniang said: "Okay, let's say this first." Su Yuanjing said: "But please ask the third condition of the berth master." ”

Sanniang continued: "Since I, Liangshan, have played the banner of the Qing monarch and the traitorous minister, and I have accepted Zhao'an, so I naturally have to explain to the world." My third condition is to ask the Son of Heaven to punish the four traitorous ministers in the court, so as to appease us! (To be continued.) )
