Chapter 543 Precaution
Wu Yong and Zhu Wu coordinated, and responded to the customs defense agreement, and prepared military talismans, seals, signs, robes and armor, five-sided banners and other items. Zhao Zhen issued an order to assign soldiers, and the generals followed the order and returned to the capital.
However, in the city of Bianjing, because Song Jiang and his gang surrendered Shun, Gao Qiu, Cai Jing and even Concubine Murong in the palace were bribed by Song Jiang. After Song Jiang met with him, Emperor Huizong saw that although Song Jiang was short and only six feet tall, his lips were square and his mouth was straight, his moustache was light, his forehead was wide, his head was flat, and his flesh was full. The eyes are like phoenixes, the eyebrows are like lying silkworms, the ears are beads, and the eyes are painted. Not like a treacherous person.
In this way, Song Jiang was appointed as the general manager of Fangzhou's military commander, and then he could take office. If you really start a horse and control the army, dismount and control the people, you don’t have to break up and resettle the brothers.
Song Jiang was so happy that he burst into tears and expressed his loyalty.
When Zhao Zhen was about to submit a letter, Emperor Huizong asked Emperor Cai and other important officials to discuss politics. Because Song Jiang had fought with Liangshan for a long time, he was in the village, so he sent someone to summon Song Jiang to the palace to listen to the counselor.
Song Jiang received the imperial edict and heard that he was about to enter the court to face the saint. He quickly took a 10 tael of gold turtle into the hand of the eunuch Xuanzhi, and asked carefully: "Angel, I will go to Huaixi to fight against the rebellion in the near future. Can the angel know what the saint is calling?"
The eunuch Xuanzhi pinched the golden croaker in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my husband, it's not your business. But it was a report from Mr. Zhao from Jingdong Road. The emperor is discussing with you. Taiwei Gao said that you are a passerby from Jingdong, and you can be a counselor. After going there, listen more and talk less, it's right to follow the ministers. The emperor is still in the palace, so he sets off quickly, so that the emperor will not be happy."
Taking advantage of Song Jiang's skill in changing his official uniform, he said a few words to Lai Yong'er and hurried into the palace.
After listening for a while, the Emperor Huizong asked Song Jiang: "Song Qing, how about Zhao Ze?"
After listening for a long time, Song Jiang heard that his parents, especially Gao Qiu, had no good impression of Zhao Zhen.
After snatching the Emperor Huizong, Song Jiang replied, "I heard that Zhao Zhen was an honest official and was very popular with the people. He also kept his extravagant people from being a man of great power. He was very loyal. Many of them had a desperate court, strong people from the Green Forest surrendered to each other, and had a life and death entrusted. Even under the command of a villain, there were several people who secretly surrendered. Because of this, the soldiers under his rule were used to fighting and obeying the orders."
"Zhao Zhen? Song Zhizhou didn't know that Zhao's pacifier had changed his name to Zhao Ze?" Hou Meng, who was standing beside him, scolded.
After hearing this, Song Jiang hurriedly said, "Atone for sins and atone for sins. He has never told the public, so he does not know. He never wanted to recruit the envoy to be promoted to appease the grandfather."
"Yes, the recruiting husband is now promoted to Jingdong East Road Pacification Envoy and General Manager of the Army." Hou Meng said.
Gao Qiu said, "This guy is a traitor, and he will win people's hearts. Hu Yanzhuo is also useless. He does not want to serve the country, loses his troops and loses his generals, and is afraid of the court's punishment, so he even entrusts to Liangshan. A group of thieves are in charge of the army, and they all deserve to die."
Cai Jing said: "The Huyan family has passed down for several generations. Who can't have any unworthy children? Isn't the Yang family also a [green-faced beast]? Didn't they escape because of the crime?"
Gao Qiu said, "Yes, this guy was originally a hall commander. He lost Hua Shigang. He dared not return to the capital and fled to take refuge in other places. Even though he was pardoned, he could not be appointed again. Unexpectedly, this guy actually killed someone and was worthy of going to Daming Mansion. Liang Zhongshu was loyal to him for generations and promoted him to be the governor of the army, causing many troubles, and he actually surrendered to Zhao Ze again."
"Zhao Anfu is now strong in his army and horses, and most of these people have made contributions."
Emperor Huizong said, "No need to mention the past. Now the envoy Zhao asked the court to allocate officials to appoint them. What do you think?"
Gao Qiu said, "Sir, it is natural for the court to allocate officials. However, Zhao Ze actually said that Jingdong Road had just experienced military chaos and was in a state of chaos. The court was unclear. He chose the people to send people to Jingdong Road. It was really outrageous."
"What do you think about Song Qing?"
After hearing this, Song Jiang hurriedly reported, "Sage, even if the empress is a bandit, it is a helpless move. The world calls the villain one of the four major bandits. The ministers must never dare to be with Tian Hu, Wang Qing and Fang La. These three are rebels, who have changed their orders to become kings and dominates. The villain is just a bandit. He never dares to have such thoughts. He just wants to be able to recruit peace one day and become a good citizen again."
"It's because I know that the world will eventually be the saint. Isn't it true that the land of the king is the king's land? I also read the report and Zhao's move to appease the minister is very inappropriate. There is no need for civil officials or military generals. All the prefectures have appointed their confidants to take the role early."
After hearing this, the emperor refused to comment and asked Cai Jing: "I heard from the secret report from the Imperial City Department. At that time, the officials selected by the Ministry of Rites refused to dare to take office. Only Xu Hulin went?"
Cai Jing said, "It's true that I'm going back to the emperor. At the time, Jingdong Road was in turmoil and no one dared to go. Only Xu Hulin dared to take responsibility. Song Magistrate, you are in Qingzhou, have you ever heard of this person?"
"The subordinates did inquire about Zhao Anfu's situation. Xu Hulin is capable in dealing with things and has now been promoted to Qingzhou General Administration. I heard that he has a cousin named Xu Rongfu, and he submitted to Zhao Anfu early." Song Jiang reported. Cai Jing said: "Master, Huaixi is now in an emergency, and Song Zhizhou has been resting for three days. It is better to get up early to avoid Wang Qing becoming more and more rampant."
Emperor Huizong said, "No, is Song Aiqing ready? Is there still a shortage of weapons?"
Song Jiang said: "Master, I am ready. I can go to the battle just by waiting for the emperor to give the imperial edict."
"Okay, I will go back today to prepare. I will go to reward the army tomorrow. I will go on a war. I will be eagerly looking forward to it in Bianjing. I will make contributions early and I will never be stingy with high officials and generous salaries."
After hearing this, Song Jiang thanked him for leaving the palace.
Cai Jing said, "Master, this new person from Song Jiang cannot be convinced. In my opinion, even if Zhao Ze does not have the intention of being a disobedient, he still wants to listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, and refuses to serve the court with all his heart. In this way, we must be more careful after all."
"It's just that Tong Shumien Tong is now expropriating Tian Hu, and Fang La still rebelled in Jiangnan, so it's not easy to force Zhao Ze to rebel anymore. It's better to follow this guy first and then argue with him after Tian Hu, Wang Qing and Fang La pacified."
"In this way, the court is to select officials, and if they go there, they may not be valued. They are also bewitched by Zhao Ze and change their concerns. It is better to choose some old and incompetent people to send them to them. In this way, it not only appeases Zhao Ze, but also solves the problem of many talented officials in the court that they have no place to settle."
After hearing this, the emperor nodded and said, "What the Grand Master said is reasonable. I will be urged by the Grand Master to choose and send it within ten days. If there are still people who do not want to go, they will be dismissed."
Cai Jing thanked her for gratitude, and Gao Qiu said, "Even if this is the case, you must be prepared."
"Sir, I heard from Gao Lian that Zibo is bounded by Qingzhou in the east and Yanzhou and Yizhou in the south. The magistrate and the military commander are all incompetent. They can still use it to defend the city. They need to prepare for the future. It is better to change to Qizhou, which is adjacent to Yunzhou, and replace them with capable men."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
After hearing this, Emperor Huizong asked someone to take the map and take a closer look. Seeing that it was indeed as Gao Qiu said, he said, "Who do you think is competent?"
Gao Qiu said, "Reported to the emperor, Cheng Ziming, the general manager of the Dongcheng Military and Horses, was born with a leopard head and a ring-eyed eye, and a tiger's beard. Everyone called him a [Golden-Haired Iron Lion], and a five-fingered iron spear weighing fifty kilograms. He was inappropriate and had served in the northwest. This person could go to Zizhou to be the chief military commander. Yun Tianbiao, the army stationed in Zizhou, was unfavorable to conquer Qingzhou. Although he had no merit, he never surrendered the thieves, so that he could commit crimes and make meritorious service in front of the army."
"There is another person who is the commander of the front office of the palace. He was born nine feet long, with wide arms and round waist, with a blue indigo face, and extremely powerful. He was known as the "Mountain-drawing Powerful Man" Gao Chonghan. He was good at using a golden treasure to move, and dozens of people could not get close to him. This person can go to Qizhou and control the troops."
"These two places are close to Liangshan and Qingzhou. Once troops are sent, they can be forced to be unable to look after each other. To the west of Liangshan is Hebei Road. This place is heavily guarded and is not afraid of him attacking. Xingren Mansion in the south is a little short of the Xingren Mansion in the south, and one person needs to cut off the road to the southern invasion of Liangshan. Jingdong will then manage the military commander of the military commander of the five military prefectures, and order the general Ji Anbang to go to Xingren Mansion to supervise the troops and horses to be prepared. He is from Jizhou and has always worked in the border court. He is well-educated and well-known, and has no choice but to be a 10,000 men. With this army, there is no opportunity to keep Liangshan."
"As for the prefectures of Zibo and Qizhou, the Taishi needs to be selected."
Cai Jing heard this and said, "The magistrate of Qizhou is still brave enough to serve. When he was conquering Qingzhou thieves on the north road, he also mobilized food and grass to be taken to the front. However, this prefect of Zibo is incompetent, so it is better to be dismissed and choose a capable person from the Three Sessions."
After hearing this, the emperor nodded.
However, after Song Jiang went to war, the Ministry of Personnel selected officials to take office in Bianjing City and finally stopped. The selected officials were either old or had no money to manage some connections.
After the selection, they did not inform everyone of their official positions, but only ordered a team of imperial guards to escort the road and sent them all the way to Liangshan Mansion.
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
It’s not that no one resisted. The Ministry of Personnel received the imperial edict and dismissed the few who were ahead on the spot. Everyone saw it, how could they dare to refuse? Those who are reluctant to leave their official position have to grit their teeth and answer their responsibilities, hoping that they can return safely after leaving.
As for the prefect of Zibo, he also chose it. This person's surname is Wen and his single name is Yi Yan. The Tokyo native is a flatterer. Because he was so generous to the Dharma, he joined the Cai Taishi Mansion, and then he got this job.
