Chapter 13: The Undercurrent is Turbulent
An Daoquan is really like a god, and in just a few days, Chai Jin's internal and external injuries have improved, and he can walk with a cane.
On this day, tens of thousands of people in Gaotang Prefecture came to the mass grave outside the city to relieve their grievances - it turned out that Liangshan was going to execute Gao Lian Manmen today. However, compared with the corrupt officials and corrupt officials accused by the people these days, Mrs. Gao's Yin and Yin Tianxi have simply become the foils for singing supporting roles.
There are really a lot of stolen officials in Gaotang Prefecture, no wonder there is a soldier who is bearish, and there is such a rampant prefect as Gao Lian, where can the people below get better? Although Yin Tianxi is arrogant, but one person can do only a limited amount of evil, but a large number of corrupt officials under the bottom are like a mountain, and the rule of their officials is wasted, and the bottom line is lost, which is really shocking, if it is not for Liangshan to lay down Gaotang Prefecture, the people here are unjustly sunk to the bottom of the sea, and there will be no day.
The executioners were all recruits recruited by Liang Shan in Gaotang Prefecture, and the recruits had to see blood, so they just used these beasts that plagued the people to train their hands, and at the same time avenge their own blood and hatred, which killed two birds with one stone. Under the guidance of the Liangshan veterans, more than 100 big knives were cut down in one day. The money leopard Tang Long shook his head afterwards, it seems that these big knives can only be reheated.
Chai Jinqiang supported the sick body, watched the execution of the enemy, and was full of emotion. Ximenqing handed over his family's heirloom Danshu iron coupon: "Brother Chai, I borrowed this for two days to play with, and now it's time to return it." β
Danshu, the royal yellow silk, with special cinnabar written by the official family to favor the words of favor, stamped with the emperor's seal, zuihou with alum silk, a thousand years is not bad; Iron coupons, shaped like covered tiles, engraved words on the face, and engraved at the bottom of the favored ministers and their descendants to avoid death. The quality is like green jade, not like iron, its words are filled with gold, like a tiger charm is divided into two pieces on the left and right, a piece of the Lord is stored, and a piece is paid to the royal palace seal and ribbon supervisor for collection and photo.
Chai Jin looked at the Danshu iron coupon for a long time in a daze, and suddenly raised his hand, threw these two cultural relics that Ximenqing admired into the sea of corpses and blood in front of him, and said lightly: "The world is like this, what's the use of keeping it?" β
Wu Yan and Ximen Qing around him were silent. Although Ximenqing felt a pity, he didn't think about picking it up, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly: "The iron coupons of the Song Dynasty and the charters of later generations are all wastes under the corrupt party and bad government!" β
Liangshan has finished releasing grain and recruiting troops to eliminate traitors in Gaotang Prefecture, and it is finally time to win the class. This time out of the army, although a lot of charity was given to the people, Gao Lian and his tiger and wolf officials were all good at scraping the ground, and after ten or seven or eight, the loot left behind was still staggering, and Liang Shan made a windfall.
The people of Gaotang Prefecture helped the old and the young, and sent the people and horses of Liangshan out of ten miles away, so that there were people who could not give up their families and followers, and these people Ximen Qing sent people to settle properly.
After marching for more than ten days, the soldiers and horses returned to Liangshan, and Chao Gailiang greeted him with the whole team. Seeing Gongsun Sheng and Wu Anger, Chao Gai was overjoyed, and then saw that Chai Jin and Tang Long were added to the cottage.
Some people rejoice, some people are sad. Following Yunzhou in Shandong, Liangshan made a disturbance in Gaotang Prefecture in Hebei, and the officialdom in the north of the Song Dynasty was shaken, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and everyone was panicked. That Gaotang Prefecture is under the rule of Bozhou, the famous mansion, although Bozhou knows that Gao Lian has been killed and the city has fallen, but where dare to take care of it? It was not until the people of Liangshan were gone that the officials wrote a table to send people to the imperial court.
What does the table say: "In May of this year, more than 80,000 Liangshan thieves broke through Gaotang Prefecture and killed more than 1,000 officials below the prefect's high and honest level. The people of Bozhou, from the upper to the state, from the lower to the officials, all led the soldiers to capture and fight bravely to the rescue, and fought with the thieves in the city. Although the thieves are a rabble, the ants are attached to the trapped beasts and fight, which also causes many casualties among the officers and soldiers. The official family Hongfu, the lords in the court and the central government planned properly, and the soldiers used their lives, and the thieves finally collapsed after more than ten days, and fled all the way out of the city, and the Gaotang Dynasty returned to the state, but the people in the city have suffered a catastrophe. It was a matter of rebellion, and he reported to the flight and implored the imperial court to send troops to suppress it. In addition, after this battle, the treasury of Gaotang Prefecture was dilapidated and could not be compassionate to the people; Bozhou suffered from this fire, and its wealth and food were exhausted, so it could not benefit the people. I hope that the imperial court will open up the mercy of the heavens and the earth, exempt Bozhou from taxes, and send money and rice to help "Yunyun."
There are also officials from Gaotang Prefecture who escaped the catastrophe, and they are all arranged by the governor of Bozhou to go to Tokyo City**. Their ** was smooth sailing, not only did no one intercept the visit, but the bureaucrats at all levels opened the door one after another, and directly sued Emperor Huizong.
Although Emperor Huizong was mediocre, he was a little clever. As soon as he saw that Bozhou's recital said that there were 80,000 anti-thieves, he first rejoiced in his heart. Since Si Cong I succeeded to the throne, the wind and rain have been smooth, the country and the people have been safe, even if there are evil and unscrupulous people who have taken risks and made trouble, but under the influence of heaven, they have all surrendered to Zhao'an - this Qingping shijie Langlang Qiankun, where can 80,000 anti-thieves come from? Needless to say, this is a deliberate exaggeration by the Bozhou government.
It may be true that there are homeless people in Gaotang Prefecture who are in rebellion and kill officials and make trouble, but it must not be as serious as the report says. The reason why Bozhou reported it like this is nothing more than what it said in the notebook, "The treasury is dilapidated and cannot be compassionate to the people; The fundamental reason is not the fault of the soldiers, but that the officials are too corrupt and there is really no way to make up for the leaks, so they took advantage of this Qiaozong'er to fake their death and get out, or the wicked people sued first, and pushed the story to the grass coward.
In the eyes of the officials, this recital is of the same nature as the guards guarding the official warehouse who stole too much, and when they saw that they couldn't deal with it, they simply set the official warehouse on fire. The official family prides itself on being a wise gentleman, and he is the most lenient. He thought that although these officials deceived the king, as the saying goes, "Thousands of miles of officials are only for money", they are afraid and dig holes to pick up ashes, just for a little surplus food, in fact, they are also very pitiful, how can they bear to pursue it?
So Emperor Huizong opened the heavens and the earth and the kindness of the earth, threw this notebook aside and ignored it, and the officials of Gaotang Prefecture all appeased him with good words, entered the palace, and tried new tricks with Zhao Yuannu to relax.
The emperor is not in a hurry, Gao Yu is in a hurry. Gao Lian who died is his uncle and brother, he is a scoundrel, and he talks most about the righteousness of his friends who drink and meat, if he can't avenge his brother, who will enter his sophomore year of high school to eat in the future? Now Tong Guan led the troops to fight against the Western Xia, and he was not in the court, so it was difficult to borrow strength, so Gao Yu went to the door of the great eunuch Yang Jian.
If you want to impress the Sacred Heart, you must first figure out the intention. Gao Yu didn't know what the official family thought, he had to ask the official's close people first, and then he could prescribe the right medicine in order to succeed in one fell swoop.
Yang Jian didn't want to pay attention to this matter at all, anyway, it wasn't his brother's protΓ©gΓ© who died, and Gao Yu was "fighting" in front of him all day long, isn't this intentionally blocking his father-in-law, who has no "crime"? Although the surname Gao is a fellow family member, this guy is now favored in front of the official family, which makes people jealous, and he must take this opportunity to suppress and suppress his spirit!
So Yang Jian pretended to be stupid in front of Gao Yu, and prevaricated with false words in an official tone, Gao Yu saw that it was not the head, so he resigned, and went to Cai Jing's mansion again. Now that the people he sent out are trying to contact Ximenqing, where are they willing to take care of Gao Yu's affairs? Anyway, the people of Liangshan killed Gao Lian, the brother of Gao Yu of Gaotang Prefecture, and it was not Liang Zhongshu, the son-in-law of Cai Jing, the famous mansion, so it was useless to worry about it.
Taishi Cai is already old, people don't take their muscles and bones as their ability, if they can rest a little, they will rest a little, and what they rest is earned.
Gao Yu even touched the nail, couldn't help but be discouraged, returned home, sat in the study and sighed, Gao Yanei came to say goodbye with a smile on his face, and was scolded by him.
For a while, the servants in the Gao Mansion were silent, and they said with a spirit: "If you want to solve the master's worries, you have to Mr. Wen!" So everyone hurriedly sent someone to invite Wen Huanzhang.
Wen Huanzhang is a curtain guest hired by Gao Yu with a lot of money, he is quite strategic, he travels extensively in Beijing, talks and laughs, and is mostly valued by the people of the time, so Gao Yu loves and respects him, and most of the time he is obedient. When I saw Gao Yu depressed today, the family immediately thought of moving Mr. Wen.
After a while, Wen Huanzhang arrived, gently pushed open the door of the study, and said, "Why is Taiwei Shaole?" β
As soon as he saw Wen Huanzhang, Gao Yu's eyes lit up, and he quickly got up and pulled Wen Huanzhang's hand and sat down: "Good my Mr. Wen, you are really my timely rain!" But if you can arrive a moment early, what am I worried about! β
Wen Huanzhang said: "It's not too late to make amends!" The Taiwei is depressed, how about Xiaosheng and try to relieve the Taiwei? β
Gao Yu told everything about Gao Tangzhou at 1510, and then said with a bitter face: "Now that the official family ignores it, Yang Jian and Cai Jing don't care, I want to avenge my brother, but it's difficult!" β
"Oh?" Wen Huanzhang listened to it and said, "It's just a trip to the south of the Yangtze River, and recently when I returned, something big happened in the north?" How fierce is this Liangshan grass thief? In comparison, Fang La, the leader of the Jiangnan Food and Vegetable Demon Sect, is a peaceful and self-serving! β
Gao Yu pulled Wen Huanzhang's sleeve and said, "Don't care about his round wax, Mr. Wen will help me come up with an idea first, and I must deal with Liang Shan!" β
Wen Huanzhang nodded and said: "It is said that this matter is a matter of rebellion, how can the officials ignore the Liangshan thieves who are so big-hearted?" What do you think, my lord? β
Gao Yu said: "Sir, there must be something strange about this matter!" But what's the weird thing? When I went to look for Yang Jian, the little woman ignored me and scolded me with words! "When it comes to grievances, he is already puffed up like a big toad.
Wen Huanzhang shook his head and said: "Taiwei, Gonggong Yang can rely on him as a helper but not as an enemy, you have to be careful with your words!" β
Gao Yu gave Wen Huanzhang a deep salute: "Mr. Xie mentions." β
Wen Huanzhang turned a blind eye, just paced back and forth with his long beard, and muttered in his mouth: "Liangshan, Liangshan......" Suddenly clapped his hands, daxiao said: "My lord, I have a plan!" β
Gao Yu was surprised and delighted: "Sure enough, it's Mr. Wen!" But I don't know what to do? β
Wen Huanzhang said with a smile: "If you want to break the thief of Liangshan, you must know the heart of the saint." In this plan, and first impress Yang Gonggong, he will be asked to be the same enemy as me and conspire with Liangshan! "This is exactly what it is:
If you want to make the faint monarch rebellious, send the minister to be the vanguard. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
