"Song Yishi and all the leaders, please get up. Let's go up the mountain together and read out the imperial edict."
Su Yuan nodded and raised his empty hand to invite the leaders to ride up the mountain together.
After the ceremony on the mountain, Su Yuanjing unfolded the imperial edict, and Song Jiang took the lead in kneeling down. Lu Zhishen, however, tilted his head with an angry look on his face and ignored the imperial envoy.
"Master Lu, you must not be rude in front of the prince. In front of the imperial edict, you should kneel down to receive the edict and thank you. Kneel down quickly!"
After Song Jiang kowtowed, seeing Lu Zhishen's disdainful expression, he quickly tugged on Lu Zhishen's trousers and lowered his voice.
"snort."
Lu Zhishen got angry and wanted to explode. He had always been opposed to Zhao'an, believing that the court was full of corrupt officials and treacherous ministers, and Zhao'an would not end well. However, Song Jiang was the leader of the alliance after all, so he had no choice but to give face, so he simply sat down cross-legged to give the imperial envoy face.
Bar.
Song Jiang looked unhappy. At this critical moment, he was so disrespectful, but he didn't dare to push. Last night, he tried all kinds of methods to prevent Lu Zhishen from openly opposing Zhao'an. If Lu Zhishen continued to be verbose, everyone would get angry.
Not having a good time.
Song Jiang couldn't resist Lu Zhishen, so he had to lick his face to please Su Yuanjing: "Your Majesty Taiwei, the master is from outside the country and doesn't understand the royal rules, so please let Taiwei Haihan."
Su Yuanjing took a look at Lu Zhishen. He saw that this fat monk was thick and thick, with a ferocious look. He didn't look like a monk at all. He couldn't be offended or offended: "People from outside the country can be forgiven. You can be forgiven. All righteous men, please listen to the imperial edict."
Said: The five emperors established territories based on rituals and music, and the three emperors determined the world with killings. Song Jiang and others gathered in the mountains and forests to plunder counties and cities. I wanted to use the sky to punish me, but I was afraid that I would be troubled by the people. I am sending the Taiwei to come here.
Come to invite peace, you should perform your crime and lead an army to attack Wang Lun of Liangshan to atone for your previous sins. If you are still ignorant of your conscience and violate the harsh edicts, when the heavenly soldiers arrive, no chickens or dogs will be left behind."
Song Jiang was a little disappointed. Why didn't the imperial court give him an official position?
Song Jiang's dream was to be an official and to honor his ancestors. Now that Zhao'an is nameless and has no status, it's a bit unsightly.
Su Yuanjing was also a little embarrassed. He originally recommended Song Jiang to be an official to the official, but the imperial edict was not written by the official himself. Cai Jing was responsible for writing it, and the official finally used the seal.
"Song Yishi, the imperial court has given you a chance. As long as you eliminate Wang Lun of Liangshan. If the officials agree, they can make you a martial virtue doctor, the pacification envoy of Chuzhou and the commander-in-chief of the military capital."
Su Yuanjing comforted Song Jiang again in a low voice, and drew a big cake first. Doctor Wude was a middle-level military attaché, the pacifier of Chuzhou and the general manager of the military and horse capital. He was no longer a small person.
In later generations, this official position was almost equivalent to the level of city mayor or even deputy provincial level.
In the past, Song Jiang was just a police officer in the county, not even an official. He was probably equivalent to the level of a clerk in later generations.
From section officer to deputy provincial level, my career has skyrocketed, and I have been promoted several levels in a row.
Of course, the Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs. The status of military attachés was not as good as that of civilian officials, and the real power of prefects and prefects was greater.
"As long as I can be an official, with my power and strategy, I will be able to get everything in the officialdom. I don't know if I will be granted a title of marquis or prime minister in the future."
Song Jiang secretly thought in his heart that if he worked hard and was appreciated by the officials, he would be able to reach the top in one step. If Gao Qiu, a gangster, is not a high-ranking official, how can I, Song Jiang, do it?
"Song Jiang received the edict to express his gratitude. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Song Jiang kept encouraging himself, bowed to Su Yuanjing devoutly, and was about to receive the imperial edict.
Suddenly, a big hand took the lead and pulled the imperial edict over. With two clatters, the imperial edict was torn into rags.
"Zhao'an, Zhao'an, please be careful. The court is full of traitors and sycophants, and the officialdom is dark and filthy than the clothes of the Sa family."
Lu Zhishen was holding back his anger. This imperial edict did not forgive them their sins, but threatened them. The key was to attack Liangshan.
The leader of the king of Liangshan acted on behalf of Heaven, which suited the Sa family's temperament. Leader Lin Chong was the sworn brother of the Sa family. If you want to recruit people, just send him an imperial edict. The Sa family can't take care of it, but if they want to conquer Liangshan, the Sa family can't ignore it.
"You! Lu Zhishen, how can you revoke the imperial edict? This is a serious crime of beheading! Kneel down quickly and apologize!" Song Jiang was shocked and angry. What would happen if he completely fell out with the official family?
"One person in the Sa family is responsible for the work. If other leaders want to recruit people, the Sa family can't take care of them. Anyway, the Sa family definitely does not support recruiting people."
Lu Zhishen threw away the broken imperial edict with a big hand. He loved it all over the place, but the Sa family was not in peace.
"Leader Song, this imperial court has no sincerity in this imperial edict. It doesn't even give an official title, and it doesn't even offer a reward. It shows how much the imperial court despises us. The Sa family will never accept an imperial edict without sincerity.
"
Yang Zhi, the green-faced beast, also supported Lu Zhishen. He was the queen of the generals, and he was trapped in the Hua Shi Gang and the Birthday Gang. It was a desperate situation.
Even if you are extremely capable, if those treacherous officials like Gao Qiu and others want to kill you, it will be more like crushing an ant to death. You might as well live happily on this mountain.
Yang Zhi has experienced ups and downs, and he has long been disappointed with the imperial court. You don't know that he was in a desperate situation, selling knives on the streets of Tokyo, and was forced to collapse by a rogue Niu Er.
"Leader Song, Zhao'an also needs to be sincere. Not only will he give you a golden bun, but you also have to give him a meat bun to taste."
Mother Yaksha Sun Erniang shouted dissatisfied, you are the leader of the alliance and you don’t have an official position, so what are we, the little leaders, going to do?
"No imperial edict, no imperial edict!"
Jinyan Biao showed kindness, Caiyuanzi Zhang Qing raised his hands and shouted, the scene became very embarrassing.
Song Jiang's face was livid, and the five masters beside him, Hua Rong, Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo, Lei Heng, and Huang Xin, took a step forward and stared at Lu Zhishen and the others. Why did they want to rebel?
Sai Rengui, Guo Sheng, Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang, Jinmaohu Yanshun, white-faced man Zheng Tianshou, and short-footed tiger Wang Ying protected Song Jiang. Song Qing pulled Su Yuanjing back a few steps to avoid getting involved in the dispute.
.
There are also people like Kong Ming and Kong Liang who are Song Jiang’s confidants.
The golden-eyed Biao Shi En, the vegetable gardener Zhang Qing, the nun Yaksha Sun Erniang, and the swordsman ghost Cao Zhengze stood behind Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi.
Tiger-fighting general Li Zhong, Little Overlord Zhou Tong, Moyun Golden-winged Oupeng, Magic Fortuner Jiang Jing, Iron Flute Immortal Ma Lin, Nine-tailed Turtle Tao Zongwang, Fire-Eyed Suan Ni Deng Fei, Jade Banner Meng Kang, Iron Face Pei Xuan,
Eleven leaders including Bao Xu, the god of mourning, and Yu Baosi, the god of danger, walked aside silently and got slightly closer to Lu Zhishen.
They were originally the leaders of the village owners, but they came to defect to Zhao'an only because of the great power of Song Jiang. For Zhao'an, if the court offers more benefits, then accept Zhao'an. If the court is too stingy, it is better for them to gather in the mountains and have fun.
That would be embarrassing.
An imperial edict put the huge Qingzhou Alliance into a prelude to disintegration.
"Woooo~ I, Song Jiang, want Zhao'an, not for my personal glory and wealth, but for the future of all my brothers. Although we occupy the mountains and forests, although we are free and happy, we will inevitably be labeled as thieves, and future generations will be humiliated for this. Zhao'an
We are fighting for a future for our brothers and future generations. We eat large chunks of meat on the mountain, drink from large bowls, and sit on the mountain sooner or later. Then we must plunder the prefectures and counties, and be spurned by the people, and sooner or later we will be annihilated by the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court."
"It is Song Jiang's fault that his sincere heart was not understood by the brothers. Since Song Jiang has made everyone unhappy, Song Jiang is willing to give up the position of leader. I think Pei Xuan, who has an iron face and is fair and strict, can do this for
The new leader of the Qingzhou Alliance."
Song Jiang cried heartbreakingly, "It's easy for me. You all live a life of being drunk now and not thinking about the future."
Song Jiang used his retreat as an advance, allowing him to take over the position of leader to defeat the opposition forces.
