Chapter Eighty-Five Discussions of Important Ministers
While corrupt officials outside Yunzhou were splattering blood, Ximen Qing and others were placing a batch of antique calligraphy and paintings to Liangshan. They happened to meet Yang Xiong Shixiu halfway.
It turned out that Yang Xiong was worried about his old friend's face, Du Xing, so he asked Chao Gai for military orders and led three thousand troops to the city of Yunzhou. At this time, he heard Ximen Qing say that he had already obtained Yunzhou. The two were overjoyed, and Shi Xiu said.
: "Since that's the case, I'll quickly transfer the baggage and vehicles to carry all the money and grains in Yunzhou to the mountain, but isn't it good?"
After hearing this, Ximen Qing looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Ximen Qing then said, "Brother Shi, don't say this. The officials in Yunzhou City are all corrupt and injuring the law. They are slaughtered in the Yunzhou treasury.
It was as clean as water, and when the mice entered, they had to cry with two packs of tears, which saved us from the hard work of transporting Liangshan!”
Shi Xiu was stunned when he heard this, and said for a while: "Is there any other way to the king?"
Ximen Qing smiled and said, "According to the king's law, and starving to the Buddha's law, this world is a day when you force yourself to go to Liangshan. The treasury in Yunzhou is empty, but the officials are all fat and fat.
There was not much wealth collected from these dog officials, and they were transported back to their hometown to buy land. Now the imperial court is covering the fields of the people everywhere. After taking advantage of the robbery, the officials can divide the land with a lot of money and fertile land at a very cheap price. Where can these animals be found?
There are still those who don’t flock to it?”
Shi Qian was next to him and said, "Fortunately, I have done tomb robbery and recognized antiques and cultural relics, so when I searched the house, I found a lot of good things. If I make a careful calculation, it would be a waste of our army from Liangshan.
One fight!”
Shi Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Since that's the case, I can't spare these dog officials!"
Ximen Qing nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry, the people of Lijiazhuang in Hujiazhuang stay there to deal with the aftermath, and at least one or two hundred dog officials would be killed!"
Unfortunately, Ximen Qing was wrong this time. From the prefect and the prison guards in Yunzhou, more than a thousand people were killed in one breath. Later, Hu Cheng's heart gradually became soaked in blood, and he wanted to follow the ancients.
For example, those who are corrupt officials are not as tall as the wheels, will not be killed. Unexpectedly, the people of Yunzhou are already excited at this time and will not rely on each other. Then, those who suffer from great hatred will take the lead and kneel in front of Hu Cheng. Hu Cheng
Unable to resist everyone's plea, he nodded, and the people who were so fierce that they were irritated by the blood rushed forward, dragging the children of corrupt officials to pieces, and they really didn't leave any grass.
Some treacherous and cunning people even had the idea of corrupt officials and female relatives, so they hid in the crowd and started to incite them. Hu Sanniang saw that the situation was not good, so she ignored Ximen Qing's woman's instructions to spare her and not kill her, and led people to rank the corrupt officials and female relatives.
The son cut over and all the bodies were thrown into the pit of thousands of people, which eliminated the evil hopes of the robbers.
Ximen Qing later found out, and was stunned for a long time before sighing: "The people are kind and like sheep and white rabbits, and when they are vicious and like evil spirits in Shura. If they are inappropriate, it will be a disaster - this matter should be taken as a warning.
!”
In short, after this massacre, a large tomb was erected on the mass grave outside Yunzhou City, which the local people called it "Meat Hill Tomb". Later, some people erected stones in front of the grave, and the monument was engraved with "The Hero of Liangshan"
Corrupt officials were in the grave of the meat mound.”! The wars and fires were in chaos, and the monument was repeatedly destroyed and repeatedly erected, and the ancient monuments still existed until now.
Yunzhou was captured by Liangshan, and all the officials in the city were slaughtered. The news came out and Shandong was shocked. In addition to the scattered souls of countless corrupt officials, more of the rabbits and foxes were sad and their lips were cold, so they wrote their own books and reported the matter. This time they
There is no need to exaggerate it, just rewarding the truth is enough to be shocking.
The snow-filled memorial flew over, and before presenting the current imperial examination, it was sent to the palaces of Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, and Yang Jian. If it weren't for the border quarrels in Xixia, Tong Guan would have made Shaanxi, Hedong, and Hexi.
If he goes to the verge of attack, his part is definitely indispensable to these memorials.
Looking at these memorials, Cai Jing hummed impatiently, and flicked them all over the ground with a casual gesture.
The butler Zhai Qian was serving on the side. Seeing this, he quickly stepped forward to touch Cai Jing's chest and back, and said warmly: "Teacher takes care of his health and don't be angry about his own affairs."
Cai Jing was old and took a breath and said angrily: "Look at these servants, small things as big as mustard beans are also so annoying! Just a mere bandit is in the city, but he did not occupy the city, so he raised the anti-flag and released it
If the dynasty changes, these local officials make a fuss. How could they choose the herdsmen? These timid rats will all participate in the revolution when they have time!"
Zhai Qianweiwei brought the tea to Cai Jing again. Cai Jing took a few sips and ordered: "You ask the people under the scepter to send two posts, and invite Taiwei Gao and Director Yang to me."
If it were ordinary people, Zhai Qian would send two slaves to call him, but Gao Qiu and Yang Jian were all important officials like Cai Jing. They had a good personal relationship. Zhai Qian did not dare to neglect them, so he asked his subordinates to write an invitation and personally took them to do so.
Go up Gao Mansion Yang Mansion.
When he heard that it was Cai Jing's treat, Gao Qiu and Yang Jian refused to refuse. They arrived at the same time. Cai's mansion opened the middle door and welcomed the two guests in, so he went into the study and spoke.
After recounting Han Wen, Yang Jian asked, "The old teacher called me to come, I don't know what's important?"
Cai Jing said, "There are so many scoops on the east and west roads in Beijing these days. Can you tell me?"
Yang Jian said, "I have seen it for a long time!"
Gao Qiu said with a smile: "Cicada."
Cai Jing and Yang Jian both said strangely: "What does cicada mean?"
Gao Qiu smiled and said, "The old teacher and the director don't know anything. This cicada is a handsome saying in the market today, which means "cicada". The old teacher asked me if I know?" I answered "cicada".
It would be boring to say bluntly, so I would cum over, which is also good. Hahaha..."
Cai Jing said in a contemptuous heart: "Friendly!" The smile on his face was as warm as the spring breeze, and nodded, "What a shot! But I don't know what happened in Yunzhou, what do the two men want?"
Gao Qiu shrugged and said, "The only two adults are looking at each other."
Yang Jian shook his horse's head and said leisurely: "Now the forbidden God Palace is almost built. The official family writes green poems every day and tells the heavens that it is a scene of self-proclaiming good weather and peace and prosperity. If there is this
If a big rebellion is reported, I am afraid that the Sacred Heart will be unhappy!"
After hearing Yang Jian's words, Cai Jing had already made a decision in his heart, so he nodded and said, "Although the bandits are rampant, their nature is rippling. Since they have obtained the wealth of a state, they must have dispersed and there is nothing we can do - we
So I sent someone to say hello to the Privy Council and let the matter go to bed!"
After hearing this, Yang Jian picked up and said, "After all, he is an old teacher, considerate of the holy feelings, and is a role model for our juniors."
Gao Qiu pondered: "The slain of Yunzhou is the one who is Tong Guantong's inner minister. If we have to do it, when Tong Xiang comes back, we must be unfavorable."
Cai Jing smiled and said, "I have a plan. The top scholar in Xinmao is called Jiangnan. He has been interfering with us all over the past two years. It has not been a day since the boy was angry with him. You and I just took this opportunity to promote him.
If you are the prefect of Yunzhou, if you ask him to go there to control the bandits, you will definitely be invincible. This move can also express your intention to promote wise men for the court. If you know about it, you will definitely like it."
Gao Qiu heard this and clamored, but Yang Jian said hatefully: "If God is going to give a great responsibility to this man, he must first work hard on his muscles and bones. If a scholar from Jiangnan suddenly becomes the prefect, the young man is not sure of his character, if he is like this Isn't it harming him if I am proud and not willing to make progress? Isn't it harmful to me? I have a man under my sect who is now the magistrate of Shouzhang County. Because the place is close to Liangshanpo, it has been harassed for a long time and has been complaining. Why not promote him to be the first? The prefect of Yunzhou, one step away from Liangshan, and then let Jiangnan succeed to Shouzhang County Magistrate. It is not surprising that Jiang is the top scholar and talented person, or the Liangshan is pacified. At that time, we will repay him with a beautiful position, but it is not good. ?”
Cai Jing smiled with his beard and Gao Qiu cheered: "The old director's plan hit several birds in one go, but that's good!"
Yang Jian brushed his crotch, but he was not as good as that. What's the point? The popular eunuch was sad for a moment and said goodbye sadly. Gao Qiu also quit.
Cai Jing sent Yang Jian and Gao Qiu to the study room, thinking to himself: "Since we parted with Ximen Qing, we have heard all the news. Later, this person actually went to Liangshan, and Jiangzhou City disturbed my godson Cai Dezhang, and today he was again A military state was in trouble - was he an enemy of me, Cai Jing, or was he using him to eliminate disasters according to the promise of that day?"
Frowning, he walked a few steps in the study room, and stood in front of the window and looked at the shadows of the flowers under the eaves. Cai Jing couldn't help but think inwardly: "Ximen Qing, Ximen Qing, where are you now? What are you doing?"
Ximen Qing now meets an old friend.
On the way back to the army, Ximen Qing saw a man in Zheng Chen's shadow, seven feet and five inches long, with a womb-shaped beard, and was looking into the Liangshan queue with his eyes open on the side of the road. Ximen Qing hurriedly came forward and shouted: "Lei Dutou, after two years of separation, do you still remember me, Ximen Qing?"
This person is the tiger Lei Heng with wings. When Lei Heng saw Ximen Qing, he was overjoyed and said, "Brother Ximen Qing, I want to destroy my brother. Since I left, I heard that my brother has done a great job. Brother Zhu Tong and I will give you a gift for you. I don’t know how much wine I have done!”
Ximen Qing hurriedly helped Lei Heng up and smiled and said, "Brother is Dutou, but he toasted me, the thief, but he was dereliction of duty!"
At this time, there were no outsiders on the road, Lei Heng was not afraid of it, and spat heavily and said, "It's all bullshit! Brother, I live like a dog - I accept bribes every day, do ignorant things, listen to my mother's scolding, and be secretly taken by the common people If you poke your backbone, where are you free and happy? - Drinking a big bowl of wine, sharing gold with big scales, seeing injustice on the road, drawing swords to help, corrupt officials are frightened when they hear the news, even if your brother sees you, he feels ashamed!”
Ximen Qing said: "Since my brother still knows how to be ashamed, he can see that he has already returned from the lost road, and he will have a day to make up for his merits! This is not far from Liangshan. If my brother has nothing to do, why not go to Liangshan with me?" This is exactly:
A dangerous city welcomes spring rain, and two heroes meet old friends. But I don’t know whether the thunder will go or not, so I will listen to the next breakdown.
