"Master Shen, the Prime Minister ordered you to calm down the turmoil, but you made such a big noise, it is unreasonable!"

August 21, Jinling City.

In the private room of Wanxian Building, Jia Shilang's grief and anger reprimand lasted for a whole stick of incense.

However, Shen Dongshan turned a blind eye to his anger and turned a deaf ear. Under the delicate service of two beautiful women who are thinly dressed and soft as bones, they are looking for pleasure and pleasure.

At this moment, Kui Qi and Feng Tianba stood aside with embarrassed eyes, looking at the two people with completely different expressions, and no one dared to interject.

"Okay now, everyone in the world is busy electing what 'martial arts alliance leader'?"

Jia Shilang was so angry that he couldn't sit still, pacing back and forth in the room, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pointed at Shen Dongshan angrily, and reprimanded: "Do you know how big a Lou Zi you stabbed this time......?

As for this, Jia Shilang suddenly lowered his voice a little, and at the same time raised his hands to the sky, bowed his hands in worship, and said with a serious expression: "Even today's saints are asking about this matter in the court. The group of bastards in the Privy Council, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, were now seized by them and participated in the prime minister in front of the emperor. Say, how is this going to end?"

After that, Jia Shilang quickly rushed to Shen Dongshan, pushed the two women away, and at the same time snatched the wine glass in Shen Dongshan's hand, and said angrily: "This official is so anxious and anxious, you still have the leisure to drink flower wine? You have broken into a catastrophe, but you don't know it, it's sad, angry, and hateful!"

Looking at the anxious Jia Shilang, Shen Dongshan smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Lord Jia, don't be impatient, although Shen is not talented, he still has some sense of proportion. I just don't know...... Are you worried about me, or are you worried about yourself?"

"What do you mean?" Jia Shilang's face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "What is the official worried about?"

"Don't forget, when I was recruiting in Xijing Mansion, I used the official seal of Lord Jia. Shen Dongshan pretended to be innocent and replied, "If the emperor investigates this matter, the prime minister will definitely find someone to blame." At that time, it seemed that Zai Xia and Master Jia would not be able to escape their involvement. ”

"Shen Dongshan, how the do you dare to hurt me?"

Jia Shilang was furious, his facial features were hideous, he grabbed Shen Dongshan's collar, and shouted angrily: "The words are what you said, and the official seal was also borrowed by you.

Seeing that Shen Dongshan was threatened, Kui Qi's face changed suddenly, and he wanted to step forward, but Shen Dongshan waved his hand to stop him.

"It was Lord Jia and the Prime Minister who dragged the villain into the water first. In the face of the fierce and vicious Jia Shilang, Shen Dongshan was not surprised, and said with a light smile, "If you hadn't forced me to meddle in this matter, why would I have made such a decision? Lord Jia, we are two grasshoppers on the same rope, why should we bother to fight against the wall and mess with ourselves at this time? Forgive Shen for being stupid, I really can't understand why my lord is so nervous?"

"Unauthorized use of official seals, false transmission of holy decrees, and pretending to be the imperial court to recruit ......," Jia Shilang said angrily, "Any one is a capital crime that is full of beheadings, how can I not be nervous? It is precisely because you and I are two grasshoppers on the same rope that I will come to Jinling to find you quickly." ”

"Everything Shen did was in accordance with the orders of the Prime Minister, what was wrong?" Shen Dongshan asked blankly, "The Prime Minister ordered me to calm down the turmoil, and now that the six major sects and the four major families have stopped fighting and making peace, is the Prime Minister still not satisfied?"

"You know that's not what I care about. Jia Shilang pushed Shen Dongshan away, sat aside angrily, and said unhappily, "It's later." ”

Shen Dongshan looked dazed, and said in astonishment: "In the future, I am still on the orders of the prime minister, and I will do everything possible to let Luo Tianjin dominate the rivers and lakes......"

"On the orders of the Prime Minister?" Jia Shilang's eyes widened, and he choked, "The Prime Minister didn't let you fake the holy decree, let alone let you pretend to be the imperial court to recruit peace." ”

"Do you still remember what I said when I borrowed your official seal in Qixia Temple that day?" Shen Dongshan asked rhetorically.

"What?"

"I said that I had a plan in mind, and this strategy may have a miraculous effect on people in the rivers and lakes. Shen Dongshan reminded, "At that time, the adults didn't even think about it, so they readily agreed. And said that as long as I can achieve my goal, no matter what I do, I can let go of my hands and feet without scruples. Have you forgotten?"

Hearing this, Jia Shilang couldn't help frowning, and said suspiciously: "Back then, you said that you had a miraculous strategy for the people in the rivers and lakes...... Is it 'Zhao'an'?"

"Exactly!" Shen Dongshan nodded and said, "My lord lives in a temple, and he may not know much about these reckless and rough men in the rivers and lakes, and he must not use the method of smashing Huanglong directly to deal with them, but he must knock on the side and lead them to take the bait." At that time, if I directly proposed to nominate the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, they would inevitably suspect that I had ulterior motives, and then they would be suspicious of each other, and it would be difficult to promote great things in the end. The people in the rivers and lakes have always been hostile to the imperial court, so I deliberately proposed to recruit An, and they were bound to be angry and unanimously opposed. In this way, it allowed them to relax their vigilance and vigilance against me, coupled with the continuous pressure from the Mongols, and finally they offered to nominate one person to preside over the overall situation of the martial arts. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Jia Shilang pondered for a moment and hesitated: "Let's not mention the fake holy decree for the time being, just talk about the matter of promoting the leader of the martial arts alliance, how do you explain it? The prime minister means that you want you to help Luo Tianjin unify the martial arts, but why do you want to make so many famous halls? Do you know that in the rivers and lakes now, everyone is ready to move, but everyone who has a little power wants to fight for him. ”

"Master Jia, you think too highly of Shen. Shen Dongshan smiled bitterly, "Shen is not an immortal, and I am even more penniless in their eyes." Do you think that I can command the heroes with only a few gold ingots? If it is so simple to unify the rivers and lakes, Shen is already the leader of the martial arts alliance, so why bother to do business everywhere? My lord, if you want to accept him, you must first accept his heart, if you want Luo Tianjin to hold the rivers and lakes, you must let him sit on the throne of the martial arts alliance leader justifiably. Only in this way can the ambition of the martial arts group be convinced. If not, even if the imperial court sealed Luo Tianjin's ten martial arts alliance masters, in the end they would only be in name only, so what was the use? Most of these martial arts practitioners were old-fashioned, old-fashioned, and had even more strange tempers. If they are not satisfied, even if the emperor arrives, they will never give in. But if they take it, even if it is a flower child, it can make them bow down and be ruin. Therefore, Luo Tianjin can only deserve his name and respond to all calls if he becomes the leader of the martial arts alliance in an upright manner. ”

"But it's going to take a year to do that......"

"The prime minister's plan has been painstakingly operated for more than ten years, do you still care about waiting for this more year?"

"How can you guarantee that Luo Tianjin will definitely become the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance in a year?"

"According to the current situation, the most likely to ascend to the throne of the martial arts alliance is nothing more than two people. One is Luo Tianjin, and the other is Jin Fuyu. Shen Dongshan muttered, "The two are not only powerful, but also deeply popular, and each has a group of powerful supporters. Together, these people have occupied seven or eight out of ten of the Central Plains martial arts. As for the others, they were powerless in front of these two people, and there was nothing to fear. ”

Jia Shilang snorted lightly: "The prime minister has always been bound to do things. Now that you have chosen one of the two, how can you guarantee that Luo Tianjin will definitely be able to defeat Jin Fuyu?"

"How can you influence the general trend of the rivers and lakes?" Shen Dongshan waved his hand and said, "I can't hide it, everything that Shen can do has been done now." As for the latter matters, it should be ...... by the Prime Minister and Lord Jia."

"What do you mean?" Jia Shilang raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "You want us to help Luo Tianjin?"

"It is rumored that after Jin Fuyu is the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, I think the imperial court should not want to see him ascend to the throne. If Jin Fuyu is allowed to become the leader of the martial arts alliance, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not provoke civil strife and wait for an opportunity to take revenge on the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Shen Dongshan's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Jia Shilang's heart hard, making his back chill and his hairs stand on end.

"You should know that the prime minister and I will never interfere in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, let us help Luo Tianjin...... Absolutely impossible!"

"Master Jia doesn't have to worry too much, don't forget who Luo Tianjin is?" Shen Dongshan comforted, "He must have a way to deal with Jin Fuyu." Right now, the strength of the Xianwang Mansion is slightly better than that of Jin Jianwu, so in the battle of the martial arts alliance leader on the ninth day of September next year, Luo Tianjin has a greater chance of winning. Of course, Shen will also do his best to provide convenience for Luo Tianjin. Hehe......"

"Master Shen, are you gambling?" Jia Shilang said in a bitter tone, "Now, you are not only gambling with your own life, but also with the lives of your own officials and prime ministers, and even the life and death of the Great Song Dynasty." At this moment, I don't know how many pairs of eyes outside are staring at this gamble. It's a big gamble, in case you lose...... We're all going to have heads on the ground......"

"Life is a gamble. Shen Dongshan said with a smile, "How can there be so many good things in the world? Dare to bet to have a chance to win." If you don't dare to gamble, there is only a dead end. ”

"Alas!" Shen Dongshan's words were like bitter medicine, which made Jia Shilang speechless, and he suddenly felt a thousand sorrows and infinite sighs.

"That's it!"

Jia Shilang seemed to be dozens of years old, waved his hand at Shen Dongshan with tired eyes, turned to greet Feng Tianba, and slowly walked towards the door.

"Master Shen, since the cause of the matter has been clarified, after the official goes back, he will take care of you in front of the prime minister. You can do it yourself! ”

Looking at Jia Shilang's worried back, Shen Dongshan slowly got up and said in greetings: "Since your lord is here, why don't you rest in this Ten Thousand Immortal Tower for a few days......?"

Master Shen laughed. Now that the matter has come to this, where does this official still have that kind of thought? It is better to go back and report to the Prime Minister as soon as possible! Alas......"

Before the words fell, Jia Shilang, accompanied by Feng Tianba and several guards, gradually disappeared from Shen Dongshan's field of vision.

Looking at the empty doorway, the corners of Shen Dongshan's mouth couldn't help but raise a sly smile. He waved his hand lightly, beckoned the two beautiful women who were waiting on the side, and continued to drink with him.

"Master, Luo Tianjin doesn't know the current affairs, and he refuses to hand over even a little Tang Afu to us, it's really hateful!" Kui Qi muttered indignantly, "But we still have to help him seize the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, the more I think about it, the more aggrieved I become." ”

Shen Dongshan chuckled lightly and said, "Luo Tianjin is a good-looking person, he refuses to hand over Tang Afu to me, because he is afraid that someone will poke his backbone in the back in the future." This person is hypocritical and selfish, and he is inconsistent. When using you, call you brother and brother, and talk about everything. After using it, you will immediately change to another face, not to be gullible, let alone deeply befriended. ”

"Then the Prime Minister and Lord Jia are here......"

"They want to value Luo Tianjin, that's their business. Shen Dongshan sneered, "The reason why I brought up the matter of 'Martial Arts Alliance Leader' is actually for the golden cicada to get out of its shell, and the two should not be offended." Kuiqi, do you remember the master's signature?"

"Su Qin hung the seal. Kui Qi blurted out.

"Exactly. Shen Dongshan said quietly, "Su Qin once wore the seal of the six countries, and the eight sides were exquisite, and the left and right sides were together. You said...... Whose man is he?"

"This ......"

In the same way, the monarchs of the six kingdoms never really regarded him as their own, they were all using him. Shen Dongshan explained, "Master, I am exactly like this, I am not only a lobbyist of the imperial court, but also Luo Tianjin's helper, and at the same time a friend of Jin Fuyu." Now, they all want to take advantage of me, and naturally they have a heart-to-heart with me, but one day when they are done, they will hide all the birds and hide the rabbits, and the rabbits will die and the dogs will cook, how can I not take precautions in advance? The water is clear and there are no fish, and there are no fugitives, so sometimes we must learn to pretend to be confused, and we must know how to do things and be muddy. Hehe...... Let's stir up this river and lake first. After all, it's easy to fish in muddy waters!"

"I see!" Kui Qi suddenly realized, "This year's time is not only reserved for Luo Tianjin and Jin Fuyu, but also for the old man himself. ”

"Not long ago, I was talking to a Korean businessman about the next deal. Listening to him tell me about the customs of Goryeo was very moving. I want to see and see if I have the opportunity, hehe......"

"Goryeo?" Kui Qifei explained, "What is there to go to in a small land? The lord can do business with them, and he has already promoted them!"

"Now let's talk to the Koreans about business, maybe we will go to Goryeo in the future...... Do business. ”

Shen Dongshan suddenly said an inexplicable sentence, which made Kui Qi stunned, and he still couldn't figure it out after pondering for a long time.

"Master, I ......"

"Tired!"

Without waiting for Kui Qi to ask, Shen Dongshan spit out two words lightly.

Hearing this, Kui Qi's face suddenly straightened, and then he quickly turned around, and left the room quickly in a burst of laughter.

......
