During the Chinese New Year, a heavy snow falls at the right time, which can be called an auspicious snow that heralds a good year.

But maybe it's because the official family has returned for the first time, the political atmosphere is still a bit tense, everyone is a little cautious, and the quiet in Tokyo is a bit scary... To put it bluntly, this is still the backward feudal monarchy era, and the official family is still an official family.

Home.

However, after the Zhengdan Dynasty, as a copy of "Water Margin" signed by Wu Yong suddenly appeared in the Di newspaper, occupying the original position of "Journey to the West: Conquering Demons Miscellaneous Notes", there was obviously some commotion within the capital.

The author of this new so-called book is known to everyone, but the more so, the more absurd and bizarre it seems. Because the book actually begins with the history of Gao Qiu's fortune!

It's so pitiful that Gao Qiu died only a few years ago. Although the sons of the Gao family were beaten up, they are all still alive, okay?

Then there is King Duan who is directly attacking. Who is King Duan? Do we need to say more?

The parties involved are still here! Is this the adaptation?

Fortunately, King Duan's transformation into Daojun Emperor only happened in a flash, and then Wang Jin, who was persecuted by Gao Qiu, escaped with his mother. They met Shi Dalang, and then Shi Dalang learned martial arts and made friends with young men.

The three people from Huashan were forced to run away, and Lu Tiha was brought back again...

This story started out of nowhere, and in one day, how many people asked each other who Wang Jin was? Why did Shi Jin and Shi Dalang sound familiar? And who was this Lu Tiha who was born in the Zhong family?

Finally, Zhang Jun, Zhang Taiwei, who was still in the capital and had just entered the Zhengdan Dynasty, spoke up and clearly told a few acquaintances who came to ask, saying that there was absolutely no such thing as Lu Tixia, otherwise he would have found it long ago. Moreover.

He was also very sure that the story of Lu Tiha was told by the official at the Daxiangguo Temple a long time ago, and he had retell it to Captain Zhang Rong. There was a reason... As for the story about the Yellow River just north of the capital.

Zhang Rong and Lieutenant Zhang later verified this statement after someone read it from the Di Bao, so there is no need to mention it again.

Not only that, in the next few days, the "Water Margin" will be updated very quickly and with a lot of updates, but they are all based on this Lu Tixia, from him beating Zhen Guanxi to death with three punches, to becoming a monk in Mount Wutai, and then to Da Da.

Went to Taohua Village, burned down the Crock Temple, and finally came to the Daxiangguo Temple to uproot the weeping willow branches. It was a smooth journey.

The story is so exciting. Very quickly, the storyteller of Zhengdian, who resumed work after the Chinese New Year, directly incorporated the story of Hua Monk Lu Zhishen into it. It is even said that related plays are also being adapted... This kind of treatment and speed are enough to envy many generations to come.

Word dog.

Back to the topic, these tacky developments also relieved the political burden of many people. At this time, many people really thought that Zhao Guan's family was bored during the New Year and planned to serialize a hero story they heard. There was no other intention.

A few people felt that what Zhao Guan's family did was somewhat contrary to the construction of the country's legal system. When they saw that the background was Emperor Taishang Daojun, they fell silent.

But...then, as the annual vacation ended, the popular character Lu Zhishen went offline, and the leopard-headed Lin Chong officially appeared, but everyone in the court gradually became stunned.

First of all, everyone who cares knows that Gao Qiu has three biological sons, and there is no such lustful godson, so everyone has woken up. This Gao Qiu is just a seducer. Whoever asks the cook of the Gao family to throw a sheep's head will scream "

What about Ruo Gouzi? If you don't disgust me, who can you disgust? Besides, Gao Qiu, as a close minister of Taishang Daojun and the emperor, is not among the six thieves, but if he is to be selected as the seven thieves, he will definitely be on the list.

No one cares about the reputation of this run-down family.

Secondly, whether it is Lin Chong with the leopard head or Chai Jin of Cangzhou, the basics are so clearly written, so even if you ask a little bit, you will know that they are obviously fictional characters like a flower monk... and at this time, some knowledgeable people have already remembered it.

I found some directories from an ordinary rebellion that Zhang Shuye put down, and roughly determined that Lin Chong and Chai Jin, like Shi Dalang, were leaders under the bandit Song Jiang... This further illustrates one thing, that is, the story is just a story.

, Zhao Guanjia probably saw the name in some memorial and used it randomly.

Besides, there is also the appearance of Shui Bo Liangshan. From beginning to end, there is only one big leader in Shui Bo, Marshal Zhang Rong. How did he come to be a gentleman in white and give him the same name as Li Taibai's friend Wang Lun?

It's just that the Jianghu Dazhai that Zhao Guan's family is familiar with is only Shuibo Liangshan, and they are just used by the way. As long as Zhang Taiwei doesn't care about it, others can't say anything.

However, even though he knew that the background was illusory, that the content was made up by officials, and that the names were picked out at random, he watched Lin Chong's plot unfold and saw a law-abiding officer, just because his wife was beautiful.

I was forced step by step to the Fengxue Mountain Temple and to the point where I went up Liangshan Mountain on a snowy night, but I could no longer sit still.

Because anyone with a little knowledge of literature can see what this official means. Isn’t it just that the government forces the people to rebel? It’s fine if the government forces the people to rebel, but behind you, Wu Yong, is clearly an official? Official

Is it okay for someone to come out and say that the government is forcing the people to rebel?

And the story is so fascinating? So full of twists and turns?

Is it okay to make the common people think it is true and make the Gao family unable to even buy black fermented black beans after the Chinese New Year?

So, starting from the time when Professor Lin went to Liangshan on a snowy night, and also during the first ten days when the court resumed normal work, a strange memorial appeared:

First, the two brothers of the Gao family who still had official status resigned and returned home;

Then Ma Shen, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, wrote a letter, saying that the newspaper published nonsense stories and ruined people's reputations. However, he also proposed that the prisons should be properly cleaned up to reduce unjust cases, and finally he was convicted again, saying that he had behaved inappropriately in the palace that day, and so on.

...after all, after being roasted for two months, plus this wave of government-forced rebellion by the people, I can no longer stand the petty temper of the officials;

And as Yang Zhi sold knives, some people impeached Yang Yizhong for exercising power;

Even after Liu Tang, the red-haired ghost, led Chao Gai to appear, someone actually impeached Chao Gongwu, a member of Zhishe, for his misbehavior in Jeju?

Poor Chao Gongwu, only two months after returning to Beijing, he received his first impeachment letter in his life. It was so inexplicable that it was like a bolt from the blue.

What about impeaching him for not reporting the fact that Zhang Jun was engaged in sea trade?

Of course, at this time, Zhao Guan's family also realized the problem. This kind of story about the government forcing the people to rebel was really not easy to put in the official newspaper, because many people really didn't understand this story... So, he

Congshan Ruliu immediately accepted Ma Shen's suggestion and reprimanded Hu Quan, who was in charge of Di newspaper affairs, and "Water Margin" was removed from the shelves.

However, just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the citizens of Tokyo suddenly discovered that although "Water Margin" was removed from the newspaper, it did not stop serialization. Instead, it was nailed to the city of Tokyo in the form of a print.

It is also issued on the back of the Cuju League start notice.

Of course, everyone knows whose property the Cuju League in Tokyo belongs to, so they naturally know that it is a genuine version released through pirated channels... which is fine! The key is that the father of Liang Yangzu, Prime Minister Liang, who had just retired, was confused.

He became Cai Jing's son-in-law, and then gave Cai Jing a hundred thousand gold to Prime Minister Cai for his birthday. Then he was robbed. Everyone in Tokyo who could be associated with politics couldn't sit still.

Because by now, everyone has realized that the official government really wants to express some specific messages through this "Water Margin"! This "Water Margin" is indeed implying something!

However, no one wrote or reported to the officials, not because this approach showed their ignorance, but because since it was hinted in this way, it must be something that is difficult to say in public, otherwise why would the Zhao officials use this method?

What about the method? Isn’t it a good idea to express the purpose clearly?

For a time, Prime Minister Zhao took advantage of his work to privately summon several ministers, ministers, and ministers during his lunch break for several days to inquire about work in related fields. Then, Prime Minister Zhang finally couldn't hold himself back and took a break at the end of the tenth day.

On the day of the wedding, a banquet was held in honor of a group of old friends and colleagues.

This is a serious banquet. It is said that when the official family left the capital, Zhang Shuxiang and several ministers took turns guarding the palace, so the eldest son's full moon wine was delayed, and now it was reorganized... Therefore, there were still quite a lot of people coming, even

Even Mr. Zhao came here in person, but after the afternoon banquet, he left in a grand manner.

More than 90% of the guests, including the other two prime ministers, left with them, leaving only about a dozen people at the prime minister's residence.

Of course, after Zhao Xianggong played with such a black tiger with antelope horns and ripped out the heart, it was good to have about ten people left, especially among them were Liu Ziyu, Lin Jingmo, two ministers, and Lu Zhi, a minister.

As well as Qu Duan, the commander of the imperial cavalry who will return to resume his duties in the next few years.

In fact, after a few chats, everyone divided their seats again, and Prime Minister Zhang walked into the back hall with several senior officials, while the rest of the people, like their uncle, came to learn more and pay homage to the new celebrity Mei Mei on the top of the mountain.

Sheren was the kind who couldn't get on the stage and could only work as a gatekeeper outside with people like Quduan's personal guard commander Xia Houyuan and Liu Ziyu's younger brother Liu Zihui.

Fortunately, Xia Houyuan was also a semi-literary and semi-martial man. In the same year that he accumulated military merits and went to the palace examination to win the fifth-class Jinshi, Liu Zihui had a family background, so he could still talk about it.

However, let’s not talk about the front hall at this time, only that everyone in the back hall was seated. Before the host Zhang Jun could speak, Qu Duanqu Dutong couldn’t help but laugh:

"Xiangong Zhang, you are still the same people as before, but in just two or three years, are you going to make a show of Qiao like this, and even go to the inner hall to rank up? If it spreads to the ears of the officials, will anyone laugh at you?

?”

If it reaches the ears of officials, who else will laugh at it?

Two ministers and one minister came together to see Qu Da. Zhang Jun was dumbfounded: "If this is the case, why did Qu Jiedu come in?"

"Because the officials will only make fun of Qiao, but they won't kill me for it." Qu Duan said proudly. "But as a minister, it is a huge disaster to be unable to share the worries of the king! Otherwise, Mr. Zhang will think that I am

What do you mean by coming here? Are you here to compete for the top spot?"

Everyone was startled, and then they all had different thoughts:

Zhang Jun and Liu Ziyu both laughed, and Lu Zhi looked calm but sneered in his heart - Qu Da was known as a mean-tongued person in the court, but why he came here to tell the truth today wasn't it because he was helping protect thousands of people in the court?

Now that he has been released, his former good partner can no longer be a lone minister, so he comes down to worship the mountain alone? I just don't want this guy to be so shameless, and he can actually say it on the spot, so as to avoid embarrassment first, he is actually a

figure.

On the other hand, Lin Jingmo and Lin Shangshu took a rare and serious look at Qu Da before sitting down again.

"Qu Jiedu, you are better off in the army." Zhang Jun came to his senses and smiled bitterly again. "From the perspective of sharing your worries, it is more difficult for us..."

"So what if it's better?" Qu Duan continued to confront him with a high voice. "I haven't been to the capital for a long time. If you encounter this kind of thing, you have to make it clear, right? That's good. All the superior officials will be dismissed. I only brought a pair of ears with me... You guys

Tell me, I'm here to listen...Don't waste your time."

"cough!"

Zhang Jun coughed dryly after hearing this, and really felt that there was no need to show off to Qiao, so he went straight to the point. "Have you all watched "Water Margin"?"

"Look!"

Qu Da, who came with only one pair of ears, quickly took out a bound book from his arms, then spread it on his knees, flipping through it while talking. "Before Liang Xianggong's father gave gifts to Cai Jing, he read the manuscripts on the road.

, the latest leopard-headed Lin Chonghuo and the white-robed scholar Wang Lun can be seen from the Cuju competition list... Sir, please tell me, does this fierce battle have any hints? "

Zhang Jun was stunned again, and then asked seriously: "What is Qu Jiedu's opinion?"

"Xiaguan heard many rumors when he came from Guanxi. It was said that after Xixia was pacified, the Ersheng and some birds in Nanyang and Yangzhou were ready to make trouble, and then there were some Taoists who bullied the officials in the court, forcing them to

Leaving the capital and fleeing to the army... Zhang Shuxiang, is it because you people are so incompetent in guarding the house that you have a traitor in the court? Or maybe there is simply a leopard-headed Lin Chong hiding beside the official, trying to start a conflagration day and night, forcing the official to

What about such words?" Qu Duan held down the manuscript and asked seriously. "Isn't it Yang Yizhong or Liu Yan who was bribed and bewitched by the Second Sage?"

Everyone below Zhang Jun was stunned.

After a while, Zhang Deyuan finally lost his temper: "Why is Qu Jiedu so ridiculous? How could these two people be bribed by the Second Saint? What did the Second Saint bribe these two people with?"
To be continued...
