Chapter 81: Return to Beijing and resume life
After entering Zengjiazhuang, Zeng Lane had already ordered someone to set up a banquet to reward the soldiers. Jiang Anyang called him and Shi Wengong aside, "It is very dangerous to go to Beijing this time, if something happens to me, you should hurry back to the Jin Kingdom, and never set foot in the Song Dynasty again." Zeng said: "Young master, are you going to give up on us, do you think we are useless?"
Seeing his excited expression, Jiang Anyang soothed: "Zeng Gong don't worry, I don't mean this, it's just a rainy day, when I am in trouble, you are very helpful to me, and you are kind to me." But I know that the road ahead is dangerous, and it is unkind and unjust to drag you to be buried with you. Listen to my advice, if you have money in your hands, you can enjoy a lifetime of wealth when you return to Jinguo, and there is no need to take your life for me. ”
Zeng Lane knelt down directly and said: "Young Master, you are the son of God, and the Immortal Heaven let me meet you, just let me follow by your side." A good samurai, he needs a sturdy horse to carry him on the journey, and he needs a good sword to cut through the difficulties ahead, I have made a sword in your hand to help you kill all your enemies, please do not give up on us. ”
Shi Wengong also said: "Zixu, although we are commensurate with master and apprentice, we have not taught you anything. Today, I will teach you one thing, the wine in the cup of righteousness, two drops of human blood. Drinking this glass of wine, two hearts are one. The word Zhongzi is to insert a sword in the heart, it hurts, but we are willing. Seeing that he was about to kneel, Jiang Anyang immediately stopped him.
"Hurry up, two of you, it's me who is hypocritical, and I'm here to make amends to you, but what I said is also sincere, I hope you can also think about it. Zeng Lang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, young master, my old bones are still hard." It's not good to go into battle and kill the enemy, but no one can compare to me when I have sons, and if my sons die, they will be reborn. ”
Jiang Anyang laughed, "Zeng Gongyan is serious, the five tigers of the Zeng family are worthy of their reputation, a few of them are enough, you should always pay attention to your body, don't indulge in women, I still want to reuse you in the future." "Yes, everything is up to the young master. Jiang Anyang was telling the truth, but he also meant to be tempted, but he didn't expect that people in this era would be so loyal to their beliefs.
This is also where Jiang Anyang envies Song Jiang, the king's anger was shocked, and the younger brother bowed his head, he didn't have this kind of temperament, and some were just friends. The dinner was very lively, and even Kaohsiung drank a few more glasses. It should have received a letter of commendation from Gao Yu, and I don't know what the letter said, which made him so happy, anyway, he didn't care about Jiang Anyang's affairs.
After returning to Beijing, I met a lot of thieves, all of whom came to rob prisoners, these people heard that Chao Gai was captured, and they burst into tears, screaming and rushing down the mountain, but they were rushed by the five tigers of the Zeng family, and then made a note in the merit book, how many thieves were killed today. However, when passing by the Daimyo's Mansion, he met the prodigal son Yanqing to vote.
Yan Qing said: "I was originally a servant of the Daimyo's Mansion Lu Yuanwai, because I was framed for insulting the housewife, and the outsider drove me out in a fit of anger. "Look at this Yan Qing's appearance is similar to that of a beggar, what a sin she has suffered!
Jiang Anyang took it, Yan Qing seemed to have suffered a lot of blows and needed to recuperate temporarily, but time waited for no one, Jiang Anyang found a time to see him and said: "Brother Yan Qing, I know you have something on your mind, but there is an important thing you need to do right now, if you can do it, even if it is to return to Lu Junyi's side, I will help you." ”
His words made Yan Qing's eyes light up, "General, please say, as long as Yan Qing can do it, there is no excuse for definition." "Okay, come here, I'll tell you carefully. The two whispered, Yan Qing was a thoughtful person, and immediately understood what Jiang Anyang meant, "This matter is very important, since the general entrusts it, Yan Qing guarantees to complete the task." "Okay, Brother Yan, I'm waiting for your good news. ”
Yan Qing was not at ease when he went on the road alone, so for the sake of safety, he sent Tong Meng and Li Fei to escort him to Beijing, and he also had a helper if he encountered difficulties. The generals of the Song Dynasty only have the right to lead the troops, but they have no obligation to raise the troops, that is to say, you can lead the troops to fight, but the training of the troops has the training of the head of the coach, you do not need to do it yourself, and it is also disguised to prevent someone from firmly grasping the army in their hands and not letting go.
Thousands of elite soldiers under his command have been handed over to the barracks, and those noble sons and daughters returned to Beijing one step ahead of schedule after the task was completed, Jiang Anyang took dozens of people to press Chao Gai before he returned to the capital, and he received someone sent by Gao Taiwei, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and wanted to escort Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Chao Gai and others away, which was a very normal procedure.
It's like if you arrest a bunch of criminals, and you don't hand them over to the police station, and you want to try them yourself, who gives you that right? Are you going to rebel? All kinds of big hats are buttoned down, and you can't hold your head up. But Jiang Anyang just didn't pay it, claiming that he wanted to see the saint. The person who came was very arrogant, "Hanako has false intentions to rebel, and the crime will be added to the first degree, so I will take them down." ”
Hehe, without Jiang Anyang's move, Lin Chong and the others put them on the ground in one round, making the herald look embarrassed. So these people were stripped naked and followed the prisoner cart forward, and when asked, they said that they were thieves who were caught on the road. Anyway, no one checked, if someone really wanted to check, then stuff a few taels of silver to fool the past, at the end of the Song Dynasty, the top and bottom were lax, as long as you give money, you can buy anything.
When they arrived at the gate of Bianjing, thousands of people surrounded them, and Gao Yu was the most dazzling in the crowd wearing a red official mansion, "Bold Hua Zixu, you have disobeyed the holy will, rebelled against the imperial court, and ignored the kindness of the saint, today is your death date, the archers are ready." Jiang Anyang stepped forward and said: "Gao Yu, you are so bold, you dare to intercept and kill the imperial court officials here." Even if we die, you will not be punished. ”
Gao Yu tightened the reins of his horse, and his mind turned sharply, "Hahaha, Hua Zixu, you want to beg for mercy, yes, as long as you put down your weapons and tie your hands, I can say a few good words for you in front of the saint, and it is okay for you to stay an official and a half-official position when the time comes." Just as they were arguing with each other, a eunuch came on horseback, "Taiwei stop, the emperor has an order, Xuanhua Zixu and others enter Beijing to face the saint." ”
Jiang Anyang and the others were overjoyed, but Gao Yu thought that he had heard it wrong, his face was as pale as paper, and after thinking about it, he still asked everyone to put down their bows and arrows, and now it is too late to go back and ask for punishment, and I am afraid that some will suffer later. Huazi took Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others to the Vertical Arch Palace, which was also the place where the emperor summoned ministers to deal with government affairs.
Lu Zhishen and the others were sweating in their nervous palms, and then kept wiping their clothes, it is estimated that marrying a daughter-in-law is not as nervous as it is now. Jiang Anyang told them about the etiquette in the side hall in advance, but now it seems that they have forgotten it. Zhao Ji smiled and said: "Hua Aiqing, please hurry up, this time you have worked hard, I want to reward you well." ”
"It is the duty of a micro-minister to return to the saint and share worries for the saint. Wechen didn't dare to ask for a reward, but I wanted to ask the Holy Lord to forgive these brothers around me, people have made mistakes, horses have stumbled, if it weren't for their help, Wechen couldn't easily take down Liangshan. Zhao Ji took a sip of tea, "Well, I heard that you led 300 warriors to attack Liangshan, and now the whole capital has spread, and many storytellers are ready to publish a book for you." ”。
Hua Zixu knelt down again and said: "Weichen doesn't dare, if you destroy a small Liangshan, you will publish a book, wouldn't it make the world look down on me and have no heroes in the Great Song Dynasty." According to Weichen, if you want to publish a book, you should also write about Your Majesty's glorious deeds, if it is not for you to sit in the world, how can the current people be healthy and live and work in peace and contentment. Zhao Ji laughed.
"When you go out this time, your mouth is a lot sweeter. In this way, the sins of your brothers will be forgiven, and you will be satisfied with the reinstatement of their officials. "Thank you, Holy Ron. "Okay, Aiqing, if you are tired of traveling, go back and rest for two days, and then come back to the palace, Jin Guo has brought a lot of new things, you can help me take a look." "Yes, Your Majesty. ”
