Chapter 20 Someone is thinking about it
() Murder, arson, robbery, abduction, fights, and leading troops in war. There are all such talents in Liangshan, but there is no one who can govern the place.
Song Qing understood that even if the imperial court acquiesced that these four states were under the actual control of Liangshan, if there were no people who could be loyal to Liangshan to govern them, then they would be no different from being housekeepers for the imperial court.
This is not the effect that Song Qing wanted. Liangshan is getting stronger and stronger. The current territory can no longer support so many mouths, and it will inevitably need a larger living space. It is easy to occupy the territory, but what is not easy is how to make these occupied places become Liangshan.
Stable rear.
After telling the leaders what they were thinking, everyone fell silent. That's right! Let them fight and kill, but stop talking about specific administration.
Some things cannot be solved by simply solving them. Song Qing had no choice but to order people to find all the officials below Zhang Shuye.
Then Song Qing announced to them the decision after discussing with everyone. From now on, no troops are allowed in Jeju City, and Liangshan is responsible for the security of the city. Second, the current general magistrate will take over the position of Zhizhou Zhang Shuye, and the following officials will be promoted in order:
From now on, all appointments and removals of officials must be reported to Liangshan first and decided by Liangshan. Third, all taxes must be paid to Liangshan. If anyone from the court wants it, they can directly ask them to go to the mountain to ask for it.
At the same time, Huang Xin of the town of Sanshan was ordered to lead 3,000 troops and set up camp at the east gate of Jeju City. It was close to a waterfront and the navy could respond to them at any time.
After being promoted, these officials don’t know whether to be happy or sad. In the past, they only heard that after the Liangshan troops conquered a place, they would just confiscate it. Now it’s good, they even manage the appointment and dismissal of officials. Is it really like that article?
It is said that the imperial court has abandoned these four states?
There may be people who are dissatisfied with Liangshan's actions, but look at the stern and murderous Liangshan heroes around. Who dares to say no? Compared with that pitiful loyalty, life is more important, not to mention Liangshan has no
I feel bad for these people.
The Song Qing Dynasty believed most in the principle that everyone should spend money if they had money, so they gave a generous gift to everyone who was willing to stay as an official, and he didn't have to pay for it anyway.
After settling these matters, Song Qing ordered his troops to return to the mountains with the loot collected from the Jeju treasury, and at the same time took Zhang Shuye away with him.
Although the stones in Zhang Shuye's latrine were smelly and hard, Song Qing did not want to bear the infamy of killing a loyal minister, but if he was left behind, given his character, he would not be willing to be manipulated by Liangshan, and trouble would inevitably arise.
So Song Qing decided to take him with him.
The officials and people in Jeju City seemed to have had a dream. For ordinary people, they may not feel anything, but the officials knew that although the flag of the Song Dynasty was still flying on the top of the city, it was no longer under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty court.
At the same time that Song Qing led his troops back to the mountains victoriously, another game was going on in Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty.
At this time, Zhao Ji, Huizong of the Song Dynasty, was already past the age of working hard to govern. In addition, he was deceived by Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and others, thinking that the world was peaceful. He spent all day playing chess, calligraphy, painting, and beauties, living in his illusory dream of becoming an immortal.
, government affairs, rebellions, and people's sufferings have nothing to do with him.
Just because the father is stupid doesn't mean that his son is also stupid, at least for now.
The mismanagement of the government, the rebellions in various places, the bullying and oppression of the superiors and subordinates by Cai Jing and other sycophants, all this made the prince Zhao Huan anxious in his eyes, but it was useless for him to be anxious. He had no power in his hands and wanted to make a difference.
, can only wait for his father to change his hair.
The prince is the future emperor. This future emperor is not of the same mind as himself. Cai Jing and others are also anxious. If the emperor dies that day and the prince takes over, will they be able to enjoy their good fruits? So these people are plotting intensively.
They defeated the crown prince and promoted Kang Wang Zhaogou, the ninth prince of the emperor, who had already colluded with them.
Tong Guan's first letter has been sent to Cai Jing. Cai Jing is also very angry with this Tong Guan. To say that this Tong Guan can be regarded as a famous general, he went on an expedition against Tang Qiang and suppressed the rebellion. He actually won many battles. How could he touch it?
Did you have diarrhea after arriving in Liangshan?
But be angry, Gao Qiu has been killed, and they all wear the same pair of trousers, and their butts are not clean. At this time, there can be no internal strife, otherwise the military power that was finally won will be ruined by the prince.
After some thought, Cai Jing ordered his servants to invite Liang Shicheng, Li Bangyan and others to come to the government to discuss that Tong Guan must be preserved.
Cai Jing was busy here, and Zhao Huan was not idle either.
At this time, in the secret room of Zhao Huan's house, Zhao Huan was meeting with two important guests. These two important guests were none other than Song Jiang and Lu Junyi, who had been missing for a long time and suddenly disappeared.
There are certain innate reasons for people to become princes, but no one is a fool. Faced with the aggressiveness of Cai Jing and others in the court, Zhao Huan could only endure it because his biggest flaw was that he had no military power.
Without soldiers, it is useless to say anything. The men and horses in the capital are in the hands of the emperor's father, and the father is deceived by Cai Jing and others. You can imagine Zhao Huan's life.
In this way, Zhao Huan set his eyes on Liangshan Mountain, which was only a few hundred miles away from the capital, where there were the men and horses he dreamed of.
How could he let the Liangshan troops be used to his advantage? Zhao Huan worked hard, and God seemed to be helping him, allowing him to successfully hook up with Lu Junyi.
Although Lu Junyi deeply hated the heroes of Liangshan, compared with establishing a good relationship with the future emperor, the temptation of the latter was obviously greater.
Under the planning of Lu Junyi and Zhao Huan's men, Song Jiang was successfully kidnapped and secretly sent to Zhao Huan's house in the capital to be placed under house arrest.
A living Song Jiang is far more useful than a dead Song Jiang, and Zhao Huan knew that Song Jiang had long wanted to surrender, so even though he knew that Song Jiang was resentful of Lu Junyi, he still easily got rid of Song Jiang and made him loyal to him. He also let Song Jiang pass Dai Zong
The news was sent back to Liangshan.
Dai Zong did not want to hide anything from Song Qing, but what he knew was very limited, and he habitually reported the news to Wu Yong first, which caused Song Qing to be dissatisfied with him.
Zhao Huan's request for Song Jiang was also very simple, that is, he would accept the court's invitation, but he could only be loyal to him. At the same time, he would have strong troops and horses, ready to go to Beijing to support him in power at any time.
Song Qing's actions in Liangshan can be said to have completely disrupted Zhao Huan's plan. Whether Gao Qiu dies or not should be a good thing for him. After all, he is from Cai Jing's camp, but his intuition tells him that Liangshan is about to lose control now.
trend, it seems that Song Qing is not as easy to manipulate as Song Jiang. It seems that it is time to put Song Jiang back.
"I have wronged the leader of the Song Dynasty these days. I hope that the leader of the Song Dynasty can take state affairs as the priority and help me eradicate the traitors in the court as soon as possible and return the Song Dynasty to a bright and prosperous world. When the success is achieved, I will not treat the leader poorly."
Zhao Huan was handsome and handsome, but his face was a little unhealthy and pale, giving people the feeling that he had not seen the sun for many years. At this time, he was speaking to Song Jiang with the attitude of a polite corporal.
Song Jiang was imprisoned for a few days. Compared with his original dark and fat appearance, Song Jiang was much paler. However, due to his depression, he was a little thin and not in good spirits. He was always yawning and looked like he couldn't wake up.
appearance.
Hearing that Zhao Huan was finally willing to let him go back, Song Jiang suddenly became energetic.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Song Jiang's loyalty to Your Highness is evident from the heavens. He will live up to His Highness's expectations. He will immediately organize his army after returning to the mountain and wait for His Highness's call at any time."
Zhao Huan nodded and said: "It's getting late, so Head Song will go down to rest! Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to take the leader back to the mountain."
Song Jiang stood up, saluted and went out, but Lu Junyi did not move.
"Your Highness, Song Jiang has a deep scheming mind. Letting him go now is like letting a tiger return to the mountain. Just in case..."
Lu Junyi said no more, knowing that Zhao Huan could understand what he meant.
Zhao Huan watched Song Jiang disappear outside the door, a faint smile flashed across his handsome face, and he clapped his hands gently.
I saw figures shaking, and a man in black walked in with a bowed waist outside the door.
"Is Song Jiang still taking the medicine every day? Is he suspicious of anything?"
"Prince, don't worry. When I first gave it to him, he was indeed suspicious. It was the villain who used it first, so he dared to take it. After taking a few doses, he found that this food is indeed good, so now he takes it every day.
, it seems that I can no longer live without that thing.”
Zhao Huanxiang didn't know anything, or he was asking Lu Junyi, so he continued to ask: "What will happen if he stops taking the medicine?"
"I have seen people who stopped taking medicine. They can only describe it as life worse than death."
"You did a good job, go down and receive the reward!"
The man in black bowed and retreated. Lu Junyi's back was already soaked with sweat. He thought to himself that this prince was so damn naughty that he actually drugged Song Jiang. No wonder he was so sure that Song Jiang did not dare to betray him.
.
Zhao Huan looked at Lu Junyi with gloomy eyes, full of warning.
He smiled and said: "You go down too! I will accompany Song Jiang back to the mountain tomorrow."
Zhao Huan's smiling face was undoubtedly a poisonous snake in Lu Junyi's eyes. Lu Junyi was not afraid of death, but at this moment, he was terribly afraid of Zhao Huan. Although he was very reluctant to return to Liangshan, he did not dare to say no.
, obediently agreed, saluted and went down.
Zhao Huan was the only one left in the room. Zhao Huan walked into the courtyard and suddenly thought of Song Qinglai, who had recently become famous.
"Song Qing, what kind of person are you?"
