Song Jiang saw that Chao Gai seemed to be pleased with what he said, and he was secretly happy, so he hit the rails while the iron was hot: "Brother Tianwang, although Ximen Qing has grown up now, brother Tianwang is the master of the cottage after all, and he still has the power to be unstoppable. As long as Brother Tianwang follows the horoscope of 'seizing his authority and cutting off his wings', and if he does it gradually, and with the help of his younger brothers, he will definitely achieve great success!"
"Take away its power and cut off its wings?" Chao Gai said to himself, "Is it that simple?"
Song Jiang spoke loudly: "Exactly! Brother Tianwang, please think about it. Ximen Qing started his business with the word 'loyalty' to gain fame and reputation. Except for a few of his close friends, everyone was inspired by just the word 'righteousness'!" This person is dominating Liangshan, and his authority is given by you, Brother Tianwang. Brother Tianwang can delegate power, and naturally he can take it back. When Ximen Qing was taking power away, he first lost his sense of justice. The word '' just allows the brothers to see clearly the true face of this person under the painted skin; if he holds back and hands over the power, once the power is lost, he will be like a wild beast without its claws. After being powerless and powerless, what can be done? ?You can slowly brew him then, but it’s not too late!”
Chao Gai was silent for a long time, then said: "Let me think about it carefully."
Song Jiangdao realized what he wanted and seemed to have achieved preliminary results, so he didn't do anything for it. He only warned: "The word power is the most important weapon of the family and the most important treasure of the country. Brother Tianwang must not take it lightly. If not, If you try too early, you will suffer the consequences!" After saying that, he bowed deeply, said goodbye and exited the Zen room.
Chao Gaier heard Song Jiang's footsteps fading away, and finally there was silence all around. Then he sighed, shook his head and murmured: "It's just a mountain park in Liangshan. You want it, and I want it too, but you are making things difficult for me!"
Although he is straightforward, he is not stupid. Otherwise, how can he understand the principles of martial arts and practice martial arts well? He has seen all the overt and covert disputes between Song Jiang and Ximen Qing. Although he seems ignorant on the surface, But deep down in his heart, he knew very well, but one was an old man from Yuncheng, and the other was a loyal brother. Although Chao Gai had made up his mind to help the manager rather than the relatives, he couldn't show it too much, so he always acted like he did when he faced Song Jiang today. , it is difficult to be confused blindly.
However, Song Jiang was already out of his mind today. He put the topic on the table and forced himself to take sides, leaving him with no room for maneuver.
Thinking of this, Chao Gai shook his head again and smiled bitterly. After pouring a cup of tea, he sipped it and thought about it quietly.
Song Sanlang was born as an official in Yuncheng County. Compared with those who worked as officials, those who worked as officials were those who made money and took the blame for the death of officials. Therefore, it was easiest to be an official and the most difficult to be an official. Although you could eat like a tiger, You can fish for some oil and water, but often if you are not careful and get involved in some way, your own life will be in vain.
If a person is not good at studying literature or martial arts, but still refuses to dig in the dirt, keep his job, and seek wealth, then he has no choice but to put his conscience under his arm and take the risk of becoming an official. When Song Jiang was in Yuncheng's position as an escort, he spent his wealth, collected his fortunes, and bought a nickname of "Timely Rain". At that time, Chao Gai saw that this Sanlang brother was an ambitious man.
But being ambitious is not a bad thing. A big man cannot lose power for a day, and a young husband cannot lose money for a day. People must have something to look forward to in life. After getting along well with Song Jiang, Chao Gai knew Song Jiang’s hope-one day , you must win an official position with all your glory, and then you will be granted the title of wife and son-in-law, and your name will be left in the history, then you will be able to fulfill your man's wish!
It was Song Jiang's ultimate dream to move from being an official to an official. So even after he went to Liangshan, he still never forgot to recruit people. He always looked forward to one day making Liangshan bigger and shocking the court, so he used it as his bargaining capital to advance.
However, Ximen Qinggen happened to be in front of Song Jiang.
Ximen Qing was born into a wealthy family. His status was inherently different from that of the Green Forest people, but he had extraordinary skills. With the reincarnation of Tianxing, and the name of Yi Bo Yuntian, he slashed Fei Yunpu with a knife as soon as he was born, and the mandarin ducks were splashed with blood.
Building, heads were rolling all the way up Liangshan. The heroes in the world were famous, and they all had to give a thumbs up and say "good".
Moreover, this man was not a brave man. After he went to Liangshan, he performed many good political and righteous deeds. He opened grain roads and trade routes for Liangshan, organized the army, taught martial arts, and recruited talented people. From then on, a small Liangshanbo became prosperous and prosperous.
It is no longer the den of thieves in the past. It has become a small court with a separate power. Under orders, the official government has to obey and dare not make any move.
For such a versatile man, eight hundred miles of water cannot spare his talents. So, where is his ambition?
It stands to reason that a rich man like Ximen Qing, who had done some collusion with the government and solicited lawsuits when he was in Qinghe County, should have been congenial with Song Jiang and be full of desire for recruitment. Unexpectedly, this brother looked down upon him.
It turned out that this decadent court was so careless and single-minded that it wanted to be an enemy of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and that it was different from Song Jiangdao. Conflict was naturally inevitable.
Song Jiang's ambition was very clear and superficial, and anyone with a heart could see through it at a glance; Ximen Qing's ambition was like an abyss of clouds and mist, and even with Li Lou's light, one could not judge its depth.
Chao Gai secretly speculated, as if he could vaguely see a dragon in the clouds and mist - the dragon is the imperial power, the dragon is the king of the world!
Song Jiang is like a wild dog who is attached to the lights outside the mountain, wholeheartedly wanting to blend into that prosperous writer dog; and if Ximen Qing is a dragon, then he will naturally not settle for perfection, of course he will sweep up the stormy waves and clean up a piece of his own
field.
Chao Gai had been the Baozheng of Dongxi Village and knew what it was like to be a dog. For a generous man like him, being a dog for a while was already humiliating enough. To be a dog for the rest of his life? That was simply a life worse than death. It was unimaginable.
So he wholeheartedly disapproved of Song Jiang's plan to recruit security, but he was also vaguely afraid of Ximen Qinglong Fei's dream. He felt that his current life was happy enough - in Liangshan, the sky could not control it, and the earth could not control it.
Traveling all over the world, making money all over the world, drinking wine and singing with my brothers when I was bold, reading scriptures and drinking tea alone in my Zen room in my spare time - to be able to die of old age like this, I wouldn't change it for a god!
Neither being a dog nor being a dragon is as comfortable as being a human now.
Having become accustomed to living a comfortable life, Chao Gai really didn't pay much attention to Liangshan, the tiger-skin-golden chair of the village master. Which one of Song Jiang and Ximen Qing wants? Take it, take it, don't be polite to your brother, brother's
My heart is not among the powerful, but only within the misty mountains and rivers!
But honestly speaking, Song Jiang is far behind Ximen Qing. The fact that Brother Sanlang could endure it until today before "instigating rebellion" against him can be regarded as making things difficult for him.
Although he does not take power seriously, he still has feelings for Liangshan. Brother Sanlang does not have the talents to start a business and maintain success, but brother Ximenqing has great expertise in this area - but since Song Sanlang is so Zhang
When I said it back, I really didn't have the resolve to refuse.
Moreover, Song Sanlang went so far as to instigate a lot of bad things about Ximen Qing in front of him. His party must have been desperate and struggling to compete with Ximen Qing. The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh.
Yes, it’s difficult for me!
Thinking of the suffering, Chao Gai sighed repeatedly. He fell down on the chair and stared at the ceiling with his bare eyes.
How good is it? We are all here, there is no way to avoid it!
After racking his brains, a sudden flash of inspiration made Chao Gai jump to his feet.
"That's it! Although Chao is not as wise and scheming as the Siquan brothers, even a fool can come up with something after all his considerations. If you want to explain today's dilemma, it has to be this, this, this, and this!"
Thinking of his happiness, Chao Gai picked up the teapot and drank all the tea in one gulp.
So what about good tea? If you look at it openly, good tea is just plain water with good taste!
After finishing the pot of tea, Chao Gai opened the window, breathed in the unique cold air on the winter peak, looked into the distance, and felt relaxed and happy for a while. The blue sky on this day made people feel refreshed!
There was a small black dot flying towards the horizon. It flew closer and closer. After hovering over Liangshan Mountain for a few times, it finally landed in the direction of the Lecture Hall. Chao Gai saw it and didn't think it was strange at first, but later
After a while, I heard people shouting loudly. A student from the martial arts hall came to deliver a message: "The leader of Ximen invites the King of Heaven to come to the Juyi Hall to discuss matters!"
Chao Gai saw the excitement on the student's face and asked, "What is worthy of being so happy?"
The student soldier said with great joy: "The King of Good Teachings has learned that the pigeons taken away by the brothers who went to the Northland have flown back!"
"Oh?" Chao Gai was also perked up after hearing this. Ximen Qing sent Chen Xiao to fly to the northern Liao Kingdom to find out information about the Khitan, but he didn't expect that he would never come back. Everyone was worried and asked Dai Zong, the magical eunuch, to go to the capital.
Liao Zhi searched for it twice, but when he came back, he only said that he could not find it, which made everyone very disappointed. Unexpectedly, the pigeons they brought back today came back! Where there are pigeons, there are people!
Chao Gai took three steps and two steps at a time and went to the Juyi Hall to see that Ximen Qing was already waiting there. After the two met, Ximen Qing said: "My younger brother is preparing for a New Year's party in the martial arts hall, but...
Suddenly, a student in charge of the pigeon house came to report that the pigeons that went to Liaodi two years ago flew back with the letter! It seems that the brothers who went north were all fine, I am really happy!"
While talking, Wu Yong and Song Jiang came again. Wu Yong asked: "Did Fei Ge from Beidi really come back with the letter?"
Song Jiang also asked with great interest: "What did the pigeon say?" Looking at his eager look, Chao Gai couldn't imagine that just now, he was blasting Ximen Qing's dirty information in front of him.
Although there are many homing pigeons in Liangshan, there are only a few that are used. One that can fly hundreds of miles without getting lost is as good as the sky. Now a thousand-mile pigeon has suddenly arrived, and everyone is very excited.
Under the urging of everyone, Ximen Qing took out a thick volume of letters from a small bamboo tube. This is exactly:
Fang said that smoke and clouds were rising inside, and foreign winds and rains were coming. But he didn't know what happened next. Let's hear the explanation next time.
