Chu Tianya invited Zhang Xiaochun and his party into Qingyun Castle, came to a simple "sightseeing" in the fort, and then arrived at Qingyun Hall.

At this time, the accompanying officials calmed down and knew that they would not be "boiled and eaten" by this group of bandits.

At this time, all the leaders up and down the West Mountain had gathered in Qingyun Hall, a total of more than 100 people, waiting neatly in the hall. As soon as Chu Tianya and Zhang Xiaochun stepped into the hall, they heard the sound of clenching their fists.

"Owner of the village!!" Everyone worships together.

It startled Zhang Xiaochun and others.

"Governor Zhang and you don't have to be nervous." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "You are just in time, it just so happens that we are gathering all the leaders to discuss the Dragon Boat Festival. It's not a feast for you. ”

Zhang Xiaochun relaxed and said with a smile: "Jun is not an overlord, I am not Peigong, how can I come to the banquet of Hongmen?" ――I just don't know what big things Guizhai is preparing for? ”

Chu Tianya smiled, "It's okay to sue Governor Zhang. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the village will elect a big leader. ”

A stunned expression suddenly appeared on the faces of Zhang Xiaochun and the officials, and they all said in unison: Aren't you Chu Tianya already a big leader, even the Son of Heaven who is thousands of miles away knows it, what else do you choose?

After all, Zhang Xiaochun is a person who has seen the world, and he will not ask some stupid questions that touch other people's family affairs and privacy, but he just smiled and said: "Then the official is really in a hurry." Today, a small gift has been prepared, which should be a meeting gift to congratulate the leader of Xishan in advance! ”

"Well said, thank you." Chu Tianya smiled, "Everyone, please take a seat!" ”

A banquet has been prepared in the hall, Zhang Xiaochun and all the officials have been seated in turn, and the wine and meat have been presented one after another.

Chu Tianya was already sitting on the main seat in the center, and there was a wall hanging behind him covered with red silk, which was extremely eye-catching. Zhang Xiaochun muttered for a while after seeing it, guessed in his heart, and then picked up the wine and walked in front of Chu Tianya, "Ziyuan, the lower officials respect you." ”

"The prefect is too polite." Chu Tianya picked up the wine and got up to return the salute.

Until now, Zhang Xiaochun has not expressed his intentions, and Chu Tianya has not asked, all as if he was coming for a private visit as an old friend. However, Zhang Xiaochun brought many other prefectural and county officials with him, and Chu Tianya also called all the leaders of the whole village. Obviously, this is not the battle and scale that old friends should have.

Both of them are actually tacit.

It's just that although Qingyun Hall is calm now, Zhang Xiaochun faintly feels that many of the leaders present have been staring at them with hostile intentions. He knew it was time to find out. Chu Tianya deliberately summoned all the leaders to gather together, and the outside of the strings was to make his intentions public, and he didn't want to have any private consultations with him.

"In fact, today's visit to Xishan has two intentions. One is to visit old friends and reminisce about old feelings. Zhang Xiaochun's voice was not loud, but as soon as he finished saying this, the audience suddenly fell silent, and one or two hundred pairs of eyes looked at him in unison.

Zhang Xiaochun's nerves tightened involuntarily, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back raw.

Chu Tianya waved his hand and smiled slightly, "Governor Zhang, you and I were born into the friends of death and tribulation, if you have anything to say, please say it directly." Those who were here were my brothers, not outsiders. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Xiaochun nodded, took a deep breath, put down the wine bowl, straightened his waist and said, "Second, it's also for business." ”

The sound of putting down the wine bowl sounded one after another, and everyone gave up the wine and meat, staring at Zhang Xiaochun intently.

Chu Tianya nodded with a smile, "What kind of business?" ”

"Don't hide it from Ziyuan, the lower official has been pardoned by the imperial court, and the official has been reinstated, and he still serves as the prefect of Taiyuan." Zhang Xiaochun pointed to the row of seats behind him, "These accompanying colleagues are the magistrates of Yuci, Yangqu, Taigu and other counties. The purpose of our coming here is to shake hands and make peace with Xishan on behalf of the government, and to fight against gold thieves and protect the territory and the people. ”

Most of the leaders were surprised, and the official dignitaries personally went up the mountain to take the initiative to find Xiangma to sue for peace? After half a lifetime of mixing in the green forest, such a thing is really unheard of!

"That's a good thing, it's long overdue!" Chu Tianya took a few steps forward with a smile and said, "Governor Zhang and the magistrates came up to the mountain in person, which shows the sincerity of peace. In fact, I have long hoped that the government of Taiyuan and the Hedong Righteous Army could be united. The previous battle of Taiyuan was won because of the joint efforts of all members. It's just a pity that as soon as the Jin people were driven away, the government began to unload and kill donkeys against the rebels. It's pretty chilling. ”

One sentence aroused the indignation of the leaders in the hall. At that moment, someone roared: "The government has no faith and no righteousness, and it cannot be trusted!" Owner of the village, we can't make peace with them! The golden people are coming, let's resist ourselves! Whether it's the government or the army, it's all waste, and it's good if you don't give us a dark hand and fall into the well! There is nothing to hope for these birdmen! ”

"yes, yes, you can't count on these birdmen!"

Because the death of Guan Shan and the battle of Xiaocang Mountain happened not long ago, there were many leaders from Qixingzhai in the hall, so in an instant, Qingyun Hall was roaring like thunder and the crowd was angry.

Many of the officials present were frightened by the situation in front of them.

Zhang Xiaochun looked at Chu Tianya for help and smiled bitterly.

Chu Tianya smiled slightly in understanding, raised his hand in the air, and the leaders immediately stopped roaring. Even if he was still angry, he sat down teasingly, and saw what the owner of the village had and what he said.

After everyone quieted down, Chu Tianya said: "That's right, the government has done a lot of stupid things to be sorry for us. But looking at the big picture, the Jurchens are our common enemy. If we are not united in the face of foreign enemies, it will only be the Jurchens who get the cheapest. Brothers, we can hate the government and the army, but we should unite our compatriots against the Jurchen foreign enemy. If there's anything you can't think of, brothers, look here—"

After saying that, Chu Tianya raised his hand and pointed behind him, where there were two big flags hanging high, with four characters written on them - "Resist Jin and Save the Country" and "Protect the Territory and the People".

"As long as it is beneficial to fight against Kim to save the country and protect the territory and the people, we can do it." Chu Tianya said, "On the contrary, if someone prevents us from doing this, no matter who he is, even if he is the Heavenly King Laozi, then he is also our enemy." The heroes of the West Mountain will surely break their bones and raise their ashes! ”

"Good!" The leaders cheered!

Zhang Xiaochun and the officials' faces twitched!

These bandits are really bold, and they actually arranged the "King of Heaven" into it! …… Isn't the underground "Son of Heaven" a piece of cake? This is really a blatant disregard for the royal court and the law!

Seeing that Zhang Xiaochun was a little stunned, Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Governor Zhang, I think you should be able to pay attention to our attitude in Xishan." Reconciliation with the government is conducive to resisting gold and saving the country and protecting the territory and the people, which is a good thing, and we will definitely agree to it. However, I also ask the government not to think that it can use this to accuse and blackmail us, in a vain attempt to follow Xu Han's previous deal with Qixingzhai and use and subvert our Xishan. That's impossible. ”

Zhang Xiaochun's heart tightened, his face changed, and he smiled bitterly at the moment, "Why did Ziyuan say this?" Is Xia Guan like that? ”

"Hehe, it's not that I can't trust Governor Zhang, but I can't trust the imperial court." Chu Tianya smiled, but his eyes were like cold stars, "You and I are friends of life and death, and in terms of personal feelings, of course I can trust you as a friend." But now that you and I are discussing business, Chu has to stand on the position of our respective camps and think more. If you are not right about things, please Governor Zhang Haihan. ”

"Well, that's fine." Zhang Xiaochun smiled calmly and nodded, "Then we should open the skylight and say something bright." Xu Han has stepped down, and most of the Wang Shi has returned to Tokyo. The Son of Heaven personally ordered the subordinate officials to be reinstated to take charge of the political affairs of the Hedong Army, and ordered Yao Gu, the general of the Western Army, to be the deputy assistant to the subordinate officials. ”

"Congratulations." Chu Tianya chuckled indifferently and hugged his fist. Think of it as a congratulation between friends.

Of course, Zhang Xiaochun still has the following, he returned the salute and continued: "The official family Zhao ordered the officials to make peace with Xishan, and from now on, unite all the righteous people in Xishan to defend Hedong and Taiyuan together. ”

As soon as Zhang Xiaochun's words fell, someone jumped up and shouted: "Ridiculous! Just stabbed us insidiously, and immediately came to the hippie smile again! What kind of bird official is this, so discredited, skinless and faceless! Let's ignore him! ”

"That's it! Beckoning, waving away, you say you fight, you say peace, when we are the most worthless little bitch in the kiln? ”

"If you don't give an explanation today, the ghost will make peace with you!"

"That's it! Why do you want to fight, you can fight, you want to make peace! Just based on the words of the bird official, our 100,000 brothers will fight for him? Bah! ”

……

There was a stormy scolding.

Among the men present, which one is not the master who licks blood with a knife head and has a strong sex. They are accustomed to murder, arson, and robberies of homes and houses, and their heads are like days that are pinned to their waists. I didn't take life and death seriously at all, so I didn't mention any respect and taboos. If you don't scold the official family and the court several times a day, it seems that this day is incomplete.

When Zhang Xiaochun and these Confucian scholars and officials heard this, their hearts were beating with shock - they were too bold to scold the officials like grandsons! What else is there that this group of people dare not do?!

Chu Tianya was a little happy, hugged Zhang Xiaochun and said, "Governor Zhang, please forgive me." My brothers don't read poetry or books, they don't sit in meditation, they don't know the Son of Heaven and they don't worship officials, to put it bluntly, we are bandits and bandits, so it is common for us to curse people without holding back. ”

"If you don't read poetry and books, you don't sit in meditation, you don't know the Son of Heaven, you don't worship officials......" Zhang Xiaochun shook his head with a wry smile, "That's it, the lower officials understand." ”

Chu Tianya smiled wryly and said in a low voice: "Since you understand, then hurry up and take out the benefits in your arms." Otherwise, the brothers will continue to scold. ”

"Okay......" Zhang Xiaochun shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, took out a holy decree from his arms and held it high with both hands.

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit...... Bandits won't pay attention to anything that doesn't benefit them. Chu Tianya stepped forward with a big laugh, "Let's see, what benefits the court of the Great Song Dynasty has given us these bandits!" ”

"Slow down, King! This is a holy decree, to bow down and greet you! An official in the lower seat screamed, almost reflexively.

"Fuck your fart!" One of the leaders slapped the table and shouted, "Didn't you listen to what my brother said?" …… Don't read...... What's that? Not the Son of Heaven? ”

"As far as you look like a pig and a dog, you also come out to be in the limelight-" Someone immediately laughed loudly, "The owner of the village is saying that if you don't read poetry and books, you won't sit in meditation, and if you don't know the Son of Heaven, you won't worship officials!" ”

"Haha, yes, yes!" Instead of being angry, the scolded leader slapped the table and laughed, "Did you hear that, Bird Officer!" Our village master doesn't kneel to the holy decree, what are you going to do? ”

Zhang Xiaochun and the officials were embarrassed and embarrassed, but they couldn't exert any official authority under the eaves, so they had to smile bitterly and didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Chu Tianya stepped forward a few steps and grabbed the holy decree that Zhang Xiaochun held above his head with both hands. Unfold it and laugh on the spot.

"Owner of the village, what good things did the court give us, and your old man is so happy?" The leaders asked curiously.

"The official family is really generous, and he decreed that I should be named the 'Great Leader of the Hedong Righteous Army'!" Chu Tianya laughed.

"Phew, then you still want him to seal it?!" The crowd couldn't help but be indignant and slapped the table and shouted, "Is there anything else? ”

"Yes!" Chu Tianya said with a smile, "I also gave a title, and my name is 'Qingyun Shuai'!" ”

"What else?"

"It's gone!" Chu Tianya spread his hands, and the expression on his face was strange and playful.

"That's it?"

"It's gone." Chu Tianya pouted.

A burst of angry scolding rang out again.

"Bastard!"

"This is a white wolf with empty gloves! Give a title that is not worth a bird, and let us 100,000 people work for him?! ”

"What a play! This bird official family and the bird court are born bastards! ”

"Owner, let's not make peace! Your old man gave his little brother a lot of people, and he finally took him away! Let's respect you as the king and fight with him in the Tokyo Bird Official Family! ”

"That's it, I'm afraid of him! That kind of waste can also be an official and a minister, how can our village owner not be the son of heaven, and our brother can also be a general!! ”

……

Zhang Xiaochun's expression was already petrified, and his face turned white for a while.

Chu Tianya made a helpless expression and said in a low voice: "Governor Zhang, Chu is also helpless. It's just that it's just that Xu Han did things too desperately before, and he was too unpopular. Now to save this situation, I'm afraid the court really has to regain a little capital! ”

Zhang Xiaochun sighed lightly, "Are you trying to blackmail the court and sit on the ground to raise the price?" This is what you are talking about resisting gold to save the country and protect the country and the people? ”

"It's not that Chu is unpatriotic, it's not that our brothers are too snobbish, it's that you are ruthless and untrustworthy. Since we can't talk about feelings, we have to talk about interests. The corners of Chu Tianya's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a sneer that was undisguised arrogance and treachery, "A penny, a penny." If you want the horse to run and the horse not to eat grass, this kind of cheap thing cannot happen in the West Mountain. Governor Zhang, you are a smart person, you must know what to do! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaochun can only admit it. He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Okay, go and discuss with the imperial court......
