Chapter 238: Official Mind and Public Opinion
()Song Qing went on the expedition for more than half a year. Now he doesn’t dare to say that he is a home-loving man, who is a home-loving man like him for many years?
It is said that people cannot help themselves in the world. In his position, how many things can be done by themselves? As they go back, the weather becomes colder and colder. The soldiers also change into cotton uniforms prepared early to avoid frostbite.
Song Qing's huge carriage can not only rest, but also work. Although there are more than ten braziers around, he does not feel any frustrated.
At this time, except for Song Qing, there was only Gao Jin, who was kneeling on the carriage.
Gao Jin can't tell anyone about the private execution of Lu Junyi, but Song Qing and Cao Zheng cannot hide it. This is something that must be done as ministers.
At the beginning, Song Qing did not receive any reports about Lu Junyi. He thought he had run away again, but he was depressed about this, but he did not expect Gao Jin to do such a big thing quietly.
Just as Gao Jin thought, although Song Qing wanted to tear him apart, if he really captured him alive, he really didn't know what to do. After all, Lu Junyi also had a certain connection among the heroes of Liangshan, especially Yan Qing's master.
If Yan Qing ordered to kill Lu Junyi, he would definitely not feel good if he didn't say it. Therefore, Gao Jin's approach was very consistent with Song Qing's thoughts.
However, no matter how satisfied he is, as a king, he cannot reveal it casually. Otherwise, once this hole is opened, the inner guards don’t have to ask themselves if they deal with prisoners in the future. What’s so great?
After a while, Song Qing said in a deep voice: "No one knows about this anymore?"
"Don't worry, I know what to do"
"Yes! If you don't take the example, get up!"
Gao Jin's back was soaked with sweat at this time. He didn't realize what was going on when he followed the prince before, but now the prince's power is getting heavier and heavier.
Song Qing picked up a memorial from the desk and said to Gao Jin: "This is a secret report sent by Cao Zheng. He suspected that Qin Hui was a Jin man. What do you think?"
As one of the top leaders of the inner guards, Gao Jin knew about Qin Hui's information. He pondered for a moment and said: "I think it's very likely. Now, who can't see that the Zhao Song Dynasty is about to come to an end? So now there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to work for the Zhao family, unless they are people with ulterior motives."
In fact, Gao Jin was only half right, because he was in a different position, so he looked at the problem differently. Liangshan people saw that the Zhao Song Dynasty was a slightest mountain, but they didn’t know that many of the subjects of the Zhao Song Dynasty also looked at the Liangshan regime in this way.
Song Qing has read the information about Qin Hui in history and knows that he was captured by the Jin soldiers with Zhao Gou. Although he escaped later, the fact that he entered the Jin camp cannot be denied, so it is very likely to say that Qin Hui is a Jin man.
If all this is true, the purpose of the Jin people will be very obvious, which is to build a strong regime behind Liangshan, so as to hold itself back like he used the remnant Liao to drag the Jin people back.
It seems that my father-in-law is still unwilling to give up!
Nodded, then shook it again, saying, "Notify Cao Zheng to pay close attention to Qin Hui's eastward direction, but don't alarm him or take any action against him."
Gao Jin was a little confused and said in confusion: "Prince, my subordinate is stupid. Since this Qin is a Jin man, he is lurking next to the Emperor of Song Dynasty. It is obviously because he wants to be unfavorable to our Liangshan, why should he keep him?"
If Zhao Huanjian doesn't stand up, would he have the courage to fight with him? He would have no way to find an excuse to launch an army to destroy him, so he would still let him do it! As long as you pay attention to him at all times and not let the situation get out of control.
Of course, some words cannot be said to Gao Jin, even if he is close to his subordinates.
"Focus on powerful armed forces or bandits in Jiangnan, and put your people in it, and I will be useful in the future."
Gao Jin understood a little, bowed and agreed, and turned around and got out of the carriage.
Sitting alone in the empty carriage, Song Qing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In fact, he was very confused. With his current strength, the Northern Expedition was a little earlier, but it was a blink of an eye to destroy Zhao Huan, but he could not make up his mind.
In other people's words, it is false benevolence and righteousness. He does pay great attention to fame and righteousness, and always hopes to take over the land of Jiangnan one day naturally.
If he hadn't been resisting the brand of Dayi, he would have been the target of public criticism, and he would not have to think about his achievements today.
After thinking for a while, Song Qing finally let out a long sigh, "Wait a little longer!"
On the last day of November, Song Qing and his team finally returned to Luoyang with the snowflakes all over the sky, greeting the civil and military officials of Luoyang.
Although Song Qing has always disliked this kind of welcome and see off scene, many things are involuntarily in this position.
Although Song Qing had no martial arts skills, he was a recognized prince immediately. Every time he returned from the war, he could bring back unexpected results.
This time, he won Shuzhong in one fell swoop, and Dali was also taken into his pocket. In addition, the Yanyun land that was recovered earlier, even Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin did not have such achievements.
So when I came back this time, even Wu Yong, Zhu Wu and others had the idea of pushing him to the top. But this was just their private idea. After all, they were all Song Qing’s confidants and knew Song Qing’s thoughts.
Song Qing went home to rest with exhaustion.
Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Chen Dong, and officials from various departments all gathered together. What they discussed was how to convince Song Qing to advance to the throne.
Although Chen Dong is not the original member of Liangshan, he has always regarded himself as a Liangshan person. At the same time, he is also the initiator of this gathering, so he was the first to stand up and bow to the officials and said, "I believe that all the adults know the meaning of the officials coming to you. Let's talk about the important things."
"If the ignorant king had no way. If King Liang Qiansui had not led the heroes of Liangshan and turned the tide several times, the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains would have long become a place for aliens to let go. After the King Liang Qiansui was a talented man, he built the first invincible fleet of our Han family and promoted the prestige of our Han family overseas. He chased Jin soldiers and recovered the Yanyun land, which was occupied by foreigners for more than 100 years. He entered Sichuan and Sichuan, pacified the largest bandits in the Central Plains. He went to Dali and expanded the territory of our Central Plains to more than ten states."
"I would like to ask, who has had such achievements throughout the ages? Therefore, I want to issue an order to respectfully invite the King of Liang to the Thousand Years of Jin. Can you please join me in the joint name?"
Chen Dong's words were powerful and he also spoke a stern fact. So before he finished speaking, many officials had already agreed.
Zhu Wu turned his head and looked at Wu Yong, and said, "Old scholar, what do you think?"
Wu Yong smiled slightly and said, "This is the official heart, and we still need to mobilize public opinion. Both are indispensable!"
Lehe interrupted and said, "You guys should know the basics that I have recently been taught in a private school in Luoyang! In fact, that was done by Qiansui."
The Three Character Classic is well-known, and not only Luoyang, but it is probably circulated all over the country. However, few people know that this was actually written by Song Qing.
Chen Dong said anxiously: "Are you serious?"
"Real"
Lehe was amazed more than this, and what he didn't expect was that King Qiansui of Liang could actually send the prince to an ordinary private school? What kind of courage does this have?
However, this matter cannot be said, otherwise Qiansui would definitely not be happy.
Chen Dong didn't care about that much. When he thought that Qiansui had such ability, he almost danced with joy. He said, "What are we waiting for? Don't you want to be founding fathers?"
Founding fathers, a wife and son. Who doesn’t want to?
At this moment, the voice of Song Qing's eunuch Xiao Duozi suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Haha! All of you are here! Just so it's just right, so we can't look for it one by one."
Xiao Duozi walked in and handed a handwritten letter in his arms to Wu Yong. He said: "Mr. Wu, a thousand-year-old, read out this decree in public."
Wu Yong couldn't help but be stunned. Did Qiansui know that we were gathering here? Naturally, he reached out to take Song Qing's order. When he opened it, his face suddenly became weird.
Zhu Wu was anxious and looked over. He saw that it read "The hearts of all brothers have been known early in the morning. However, Zhao Song was ready to move in the south, and Jurchens were unsuccessful in the north. How dare Qing be called an isolated person when the world is not yet peaceful? The love of all brothers is Qingming, and when the world is unified, Qing will live up to the feelings of all brothers."
The meaning of Song Qing’s decree is obvious, and the world has not yet been pacified! Are you happy too early? But you can rest assured that as long as you work hard and wait for the world to unify, I will not treat you badly.
Well, now that I flattered, everyone felt strange.
Wu Yong suddenly smiled and said, "There will be less than a month for the fourth year of Xingping. There are many happy events this year. It just so happens that today there are all people. Lao Zhu also said he would treat you, so everyone will go to his house with me."
"Hey! You old pedantic, when did I say I wanted to treat you? You should invite me! Who made you the oldest? Do you think?"
The two old guys made such a fuss, and the atmosphere was eased. In the end, neither of them got better and invited each other for a day. After setting the time for drinking, everyone dispersed.
Of course, Song Qing did not have the ability to predict the future, nor did he send someone to monitor his officials. He heard that after welcoming him, they did not part, but gathered together for a meeting, and then he determined that they were discussing the matter.
Because Song Qing had already made a decision on this matter on the way back, in order to avoid them from forcing him, he issued a decree to them in advance.
Standing in front of the window and looking up at the snowflakes in the sky, Song Qing's thoughts also floated.
Chapter completed!
