"Zhao Liangsi? Who is he? Zhu Long asked.

"This person took refuge from Liao, and he is Tong Guan's henchman!" Although Xu Guanzhong is in the rivers and lakes, he knows the major events in the world.

"Doctor Guanglu, secretary Cheng...... The official position is a bit low! Zhu Long muttered to himself, in the original book, but the Taiwei-level character is responsible for recruiting An, is he not as good as Song Jiang being valued by the imperial court?

"Inform the commanders of all armies that in the past few days, we must correct military discipline, pay attention to the appearance of the army, and don't let Zhao Qincha underestimate us!"

"Yes! The subordinates will notify you immediately! ”

……

Jeju City.

A large group of people entered the city lively, attracting the people of the city to watch.

The gong sounded to open the way, more than a dozen big cards were raised high, accompanied by the gold-armored knights before and after, Zhao Liangsi sat in the sedan chair, looking at the people who were watching the street from the crack in the curtain, and was quite surprised.

This Jeju City is on the side of Zhujiazhuang, but these Baixin are all calm and relaxed, do not see the color of panic, and the street is also prosperous and lively, it seems that this Zhujiazhuang is really autumn without any crimes!

He remembered what Tong Guan had said to him before leaving.

"Zhu Long, Xiao Xiongye, if you don't accept it, you will be the gravedigger of the Great Song Dynasty. As long as Zhu Long is attached, the other three thieves don't have to worry, and then you and I can wave our troops to the north, recover Yanyun, and become famous! Thou shalt succeed in this trip, not fail! ”

Tong Guan's words put him under a lot of pressure, which made Zhao Liangsi feel bottomless.

He sighed, a sense of uncertainty about his future.

Ben was an official in Da Liao, and when he saw that the giant ship of Liao was about to sink, he got out in time and jumped on the seemingly sturdy and luxurious cruise ship of Da Song.

Unexpectedly, the Great Song Dynasty is also suffering from internal and external troubles, and the ridiculous monarchs and ministers still don't know it, they are still drunk and drunk, and the internal fighting is wasted.

Growing up in the Liao State and being an official for many years, he has seen how powerful the army of the Liao State is, not to mention the combat effectiveness, just the brave and confident spirit, the army of the Great Song Dynasty cannot be compared.

To be honest, he no longer had the slightest confidence in recovering Yanyun.

However, recovering Yanyun is a political proposition put forward by himself, the foundation of his ability to have a place in the court, and the reason why Emperor Daojun is important to himself.

Therefore, even if it is wrong, even if there is no hope, you must persevere, and there is no way back.

The political ecology of the Great Song Dynasty has shown the madness of the end dynasty, and the political struggle is all about life and death, leaving no way for the other party to live.

In those years, the new party and the old party fought each other, and they were generally just exiled.

And now, they are all going to die, and if they lose their power, they will be ruined!

"My lord, it's here!"

A reminder from the entourage came from outside the curtain of the sedan chair, which made Zhao Liangji come back to his senses, only to find that he had arrived at the entrance of the Jeju Yamen, and the sedan chair had landed.

The attendant lifted the curtain, and he stepped out of the sedan chair from the bent down, only to see Uncle Zhang wearing a vermilion official robe at night, and leading officials of all sizes to greet him.

Uncle Zhang is an old-timer in the officialdom, a scholar and a famous scholar, Zhao Liangsi did not have a bad shelf, so he hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "There is Lord Lao Zhang for a long time, and he is tormented!" ”

"Lord Zhao has been tired all the way, and the old man has already put down a few glasses of thin wine to wash the dust for Lord Zhao!" Uncle Zhang also stepped forward to greet him at night.

He was in his fifties, with a gray beard, but his waist was straight, his face was resolute, and he was not angry and arrogant.

Zhao Liangsi did not read out the holy decree, because the emperor did not give Uncle Zhang a holy decree at all, so Uncle Zhang did not have to burn incense and kneel at night, and the two entered the back hall of the palace with greetings and set up a banquet to entertain.

Accompanied by Jeju officials, the silk and bamboo are pleasant to the ear, the singing and dancing are leveled, and the glamorous dancers with long sleeves and beautiful postures are dressed in light veils, which is pleasing to the eye.

The so-called literati are elegant, elegant and interesting, and cultivate sentiment.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone was drunk, no longer restrained, and began to wander.

But after all, she is the dancing girl of Lord Zhizhou, and no one dares to move her hands and feet, just pointing, commenting, and then making obscene laughter.

"Hmph, they're all vulgar!" Uncle Zhang snorted coldly in his heart, seeing that his subordinate bureaucrats only knew how to appreciate the beauty of vulgar bodies, and did not understand the subtleties of singing and dancing art, he was very contemptuous.

"Stand down!" With a wave of his hand, he told the group to leave.

Reluctantly watched the departure of the beautiful woman, and the crowd let out a sigh of regret.

Uncle Zhang's face became even more ugly, and his eyes turned to Zhao Liangsi, who was sitting in the position of guest of honor.

It happened that Zhao Liangsi also looked over, and the two of them smiled and raised their glasses.

"I wish Lord Zhao a successful trip!"

"I still need Lord Zhang's help!"

"The old man must do his best!"

After a few more drinks, Uncle Zhang left the banquet at night, he and Zhao Liangsi still had business to say, and they couldn't get drunk.

He invited Zhao Liangsi to an elegant small warm pavilion and sat opposite him. On the pineapple wood dwarf in the middle, there are two cups of tea, steaming like white mist, looking at each other a little unreal, only the fragrance of the room.

After a few words of greeting, Zhao Liangsi spoke first and said: "Lianghei is carrying the emperor's order on this trip, and he is sincerely afraid, lest he will be entrusted by the saint, and please ask Lord Zhang to mention it!" ”

Uncle Zhang said righteously: "Lord Zhao, don't worry, it's all for the sake of the saint and the country, but wherever the old man is useful, he should obey his fate!" ”

Zhao Liangsi breathed a sigh of relief, this Uncle Zhang was really as rumored, he was an upright person who was dedicated to the public.

He said tentatively: "The emperor's order is here, I don't dare to delay, I plan to leave for Zhujiazhuang tomorrow, I don't know what guidance Master Zhang has?" ”

"Lord Zhao will go to Zhujiazhuang in person tomorrow?" Uncle Zhang was surprised, and after a moment of silence, he hesitated: "Lord Zhao didn't send someone to talk to Zhu Long first?" ”

"I'm from Tokyo, and I don't have the right people under my command!"

Hearing Zhao Liangsi's complaint, Uncle Zhang smiled, he knew what Zhao Liangsi meant.

But he is dedicated to the country, and he only hopes to recruit An Zhulong as soon as possible, and he doesn't care about the rest. What's more, he has the intention to let Shi Wenbin make meritorious contributions, and this is a good opportunity.

He stroked his beard and smiled: "The old man has a person here, who is suitable for this matter!" ”

"Oh? I don't know who this person is, but please introduce Mr. Zhang! Zhao Liangsi's face was happy.

"This person is Shi Wenbin, the magistrate of Yuncheng County! When his city was broken, he was not afraid, and angrily reprimanded Zhu Long, although this Zhu Long was born recklessly, but also saw the sages and thinkers, admired loyalty, sent him out of the city, and respected him very much. ”

"Some time ago, Fang La's nephew Fang Jie came to form an alliance with Zhu Long, and it was Shi Wenbin who went deep into the tiger's den to dissuade Zhu Long!"

"If he is invited to negotiate with Zhu Long this time, it will definitely come true!"

Uncle Zhang was fooled by Shi Wenbin at night, and believed his nonsense.

Zhao Liangsi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Please ask Lord Zhang to ask Shizhi County to come out and see him!" ”

After a while, Shi Wenbin Shi Ran came and bowed to the two bigwigs.

After Uncle Zhang explained the situation at night, Shi Wenbin complained bitterly in his heart, and said stubbornly: "The lower officials should do their best to promote Zhao'an!" That Zhu Long still respects the lower officials, and the lower officials must be kind words to persuade him, and he must be allowed to accept Zhao'an! It's just that...... I don't know what official the court allows him? And what are the conditions? ”

Zhao Liangsi hesitated for a moment and said: "Before I come, Your Majesty will explain that you can seal Zhulong as the envoy of Jiangnan and conquer Fangla." The most important thing is to restore the passage of Cao Yun, and order him not to cut off Cao Yun again! ”

Hearing this, Shi Wenbin was stunned, and Uncle Zhang also frowned.

The official titles of the Great Song Dynasty were very complex, with rank officials and rank officials.

Rank officials are all leveled official ranks, representing the rank and status of this official. Whereas, the official is the position and errand of the official.

For example, Zhao Liangsi, "Doctor Guanglu" is a high-ranking official, which means that he is a high-ranking official, which determines his salary, welfare, and status in the court.

"Secretary Cheng" is a professional official, which is his usual job content, and he is a secretary to the emperor.

The Zhao'an envoy is a temporary title, with no grade, not even a salary, and only some business trip subsidies to get.

The so-called "Jiangnan Recruiting Envoy" is such a temporary title, there is no rank, and there is no Yulu, just let him go to war.

How could the imperial court offer such conditions, it seems that there is no sincerity!

"I'm afraid that people won't be convinced!" Zhao Liangsi said helplessly.

Zhang Shuye immediately understood the court's good intentions.

If it is given to a rebellious thief, how can it be embarrassing for those officers and officers who are fighting to the death at the border gates.

Dedicating to the country, being promoted is not as fast as a robber, which will lead to the loss of people's hearts and morals, and will also make more people follow Zhu Long to rebel.

It's better to give a temporary title, and the gold and silver cloth rewards are in place, and when Zhu Longping makes meritorious service and then rewards him, everyone will have nothing to say.

If you can't make meritorious contributions, you can only blame yourself for being incompetent.

The better result was that Zhu Long and the other thieves were both defeated, and the imperial court took advantage of the fisherman's profits, saving a lot of trouble.

Calculation is a good calculation, but Zhu Long and his military advisor Wu Yong can't see the mystery clearly?

Uncle Zhang felt unlikely.
