The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 326 What is Loyalty?Life is a gamble!How can a husband stay in the world for a long time!
Happy here, don't miss Shu.

Zhao Tun lived for three full days, until the dusk of this day, he walked out of the room with his waist supported.

Zhao Yuannu looked at him worriedly, he didn't expect Zhao Tun to be so arrogant, but his little face was full of sweetness, even though his heart still trembled after the violent whipping.

The sky outside was gloomy again, even though it was dusk, it was gloomy and gloomy. Zhao Tang got into the carriage, and it was completely dark when he walked halfway, and then large flakes of snowflakes fell down like endlessly.

"There's been a lot of snow this year." Zhao Tong sighed in the car.

"My lord, the auspicious snow heralds a good year, next year must be a good one." Wu Xiaodao replied from outside the carriage.

"You still know this?" Zhao Tong laughed.

"My lord, I didn't know about it at first, but my father bought a few acres of land in the northern suburbs two years ago, and only then did I know about it after listening to the farmers there talking about it."

"The land in the northern suburbs doesn't seem safe. It's close to the Yellow River. It seems that most of them were flooded when the water came out this summer." Zhao Tong thought.

"Who's to say it's not? This year's floods only lasted for one season, barely keeping the cost, but it also cost labor time." Wu Xiaodao said dejectedly.

Zhao Tong sighed and stopped talking, the life of the family of the imperial army is not easy, otherwise it will depend on the weather to buy the worst land in the northern suburbs.

The carriage was walking slowly, Zhao Tang was not in a hurry, and lifted the curtain to watch the snow scene. At this time, there were no pedestrians on the street, and the sound of the kicking of the horse's hooves and the "squeak" of the wheels mixed together, and could be heard far away. ...

At this time, just in front of the tall doorstep of King Qin's Mansion, under the dim light of the lantern, there was a short black figure standing silently.

He is stiff in stature, numb in expression, and as humble as a minion.

After a long time, he shook off the snow on his body, and glanced at the mount on the horse stake in the distance. The man and the horse hadn't had any teeth for a whole day.

But he still has to continue to wait, no matter what, he has to wait until the end of Haishi.

King Qin said that if he saw him today, he would wait until the end without any hesitation.

He came from a lowly family background and a humble status. Even though he was recruited and met the officials, he was still like an ant in the eyes of the nobles.

Not to mention a recruiter with a black background like him, even those frontier generals with dignified backgrounds and meritorious service, how many of them can be put in the eyes of the temple's Jin Zi Gongqing?

Therefore, he must cling to it, otherwise the future will be at a loss and it will be difficult to get ahead, and even the road will become more and more difficult.

In the past few days, he spread greetings and posts everywhere, but very few people responded to them, and most of them didn't even have a reply. But what he didn't expect was that among the few big men who agreed to see him, the king of Qin who had the power to win the court .

The nobles of Tianhuang, the leader of scholars, are in power and famous all over the world.

Thinking of this, he moved his already frozen legs and rubbed his hands again, even a strange look appeared on his already numb face.

He had to wait. King Qin had such a status, he was so busy with business affairs, he might have forgotten, or he couldn't get away. This was the time to test his sincerity.

Even if you can't see the King of Qin today, then I will post it tomorrow. I think the King of Qin will definitely think of this and remember him as Song Jiang.

Life is a big gamble, if you don't want to be mediocre and lose everyone, then you have to plan carefully, be bold and careful, seize the opportunity, and never let it go!
Even if it is to gamble his family and life, he will not hesitate. Since he has no hope of studying in the imperial examination, he can only find another way to use money as an official, make friends with green forests, and cultivate reputation.

Going up the mountain is a thief, entering the water is a thief, murdering and setting fire will be recruited!

In the morning, he was a guest of the green forest, and in the evening, he went to the Tianzitang.

A real man was born between the heaven and the earth, how can he live under the people for a long time!

It's a pity that he once said these words to Lin Chong, but the man looked impatient, he had nothing to do with guns and horses and martial arts, but he had no ambitions as a man. It was really... Painful to marry Sanniang to him!
That man... is probably dead by now?
Open big and small, guess and leave!

Life is really hard!
"Lord Song, I think you should go first. After the prince comes back, I will report the request to see you."

A young servant walked out of the gatehouse, gnawing on a meat bun and shouting loudly.

Song Jiang shook his head, clasped his fists with a smile on his face and said, "I'd better wait a little longer, Brother Lao, don't worry."

The young servant hastily took two steps back: "Master Song, don't hug me, I can't bear it, you can just wait if you want..."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran back into the room with a "hissing hahaha".

The servants of the palace have never been as cold-eyed as other palaces, so Song Jiang didn't think there was anything wrong with him holding this punch.

After all, Song Gongming has always been known for treating people with courtesy and virtuousness. If he can't become an official, he will forget his roots.

And the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, let alone the prince.

Xuanfu is still afraid of future generations, the husband should not be too young, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, how do you know that this young concierge will be the next Gao Qi in the future?
Gao Qiu was just Su Shi's book boy at that time.

He, Song Jiang, would not look down on anyone, would not despise anyone, but...not including Lin Chong.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Tang's carriage finally returned to the gate of the palace. At this time, the snow on the ground was already extremely thick and never stopped.

After getting out of the car, Zhao Tang saw a man standing beside the stone lion beside the steps, his whole body was pale, he was downcast and humble, and he looked very sad.

This is... Zhao Tun frowned.

Wu Xiaodao said: "Hey, who is so bold, dare to spy in front of the palace!"

Although Song Jiang had a firm belief in his heart, but it was really cold and his body was cold. At this moment, he was dazed by the cold. He couldn't help but startled when he heard this, and he moved to look reluctantly, and saw Zhao Tun in fur.

At the banquet that day, Zhao Tuo sat in the front row, he had seen his appearance, but Song Jiang had this advantage, as long as he met people, he would never forget them, even after ten or twenty years, he would recognize them at a glance.

At this moment, he couldn't help but immediately cheered up, and whispered in his mouth: "Xiaguan Shandong Songjiang, see you..."

As he spoke, he was about to fall to his knees, but who knew that he had stood for too long, his legs were already stiff, and he suddenly turned around and tried his best, without feeling it, he threw himself straight forward with a "plop".

Then he struggled a few times, but he still couldn't get up. He couldn't help but screamed in his heart, so he lay down on the ground and said: "My lord, I have been standing for too long, and my leg is useless. I hope my lord will forgive me for my unreasonable actions." crime."

Zhao Tang glanced at him, remembering what he said a few days ago, and said: "So it's Doctor Song, what's the crime for waiting in the snow for a long time? Somebody, bring Doctor Song in."

All the way in silence, entered the front hall, Zhao Tun took off his fur clothes and sat down, and asked someone to make tea, at this time Wu Xiaodao and the young porter dragged Song Jiang in.

It was cold outside, but there were a few charcoal basins inside the hall to warm them up. The two phases alternated, and Song Jiang suddenly felt a little dizzy, but fortunately he was able to stand upright, so he hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "Xiaguan Songjiang from Shandong Province, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness King Qin, Your Highness is a thousand years old."

Zhao Tang looked at him, but Song Jiang didn't hear the sound, so he didn't dare to get up, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

After a long while, Zhao Tun said calmly: "This king likes martial arts, and I heard about it in the green forest. At that time, I heard your name in Shandong Jiyuhu Baoyi."

Song Jiang lowered his head immediately, and said: "Jiang is a reckless person, wandering around the rivers and lakes, as humble as a dust, not wanting to pollute the ears of the prince, Jiang is really a sin."

Zhao Tong was actually a little puzzled, normally speaking, the Emperor Daojun gave the credit to Zhao Kai, and Zhao Kai should recruit everyone in Liangshan, why did Song Jiang bump into the capital like a headless fly?
And there are fewer people from Liangshan to Beijing, where have they all gone?
He could think of a reason for Zhao Kai's matter, after all, the third prince of Zhilan Yushu, such a self-confident and noble person, naturally he didn't want to deal with the rough bandit leader in Liangshan.

As for things like buying people's hearts, Zhao Kai will naturally do it, but he probably doesn't like people like Song Jiang, not to mention that once Liangshan is recruited, the court will inevitably adopt a strategy of division, disrupting all the soldiers below, and some leaders may not be there again. If they could meet each other, Zhao Kai would even disdain to solicit them. After all, this kind of petty official, and originally a bandit, would pollute his own identity.

Zhao Kai wanted righteousness and fame, he was waiting for the Daojun Emperor to be replaced as a crown prince, so he didn't have to take the route of carrying troops to gain power, even if he did, he wouldn't go with people like Liangshan.

That's all right, but Liangshan has fewer people, so what's going on?

He looked at Song Jiang and said: "Doctor Song, I have heard that there are many leaders in Liangshan, so why did you see less generals that day? Could it be that you don't want to call for peace and go to another mountain to start a new stove?"

Song Jiang was taken aback when he heard the words. Before he came, he had repeatedly rehearsed in his mind. He had prepared all the words that the King of Qin might ask in advance. Ask about it.

Logically speaking, the King of Qin was not familiar with Liangshan, so there were so many people passing by at that time, so he shouldn't have noticed the lack of talents.

Seeing him stunned, Zhao Tang knew that there must be tricks in it, and couldn't help but turn cold: "Liang Shan didn't make troubles in one day, and the successor leader was recorded by the imperial court. If this king remembers correctly, the second leader before the recruitment was called Lin Chong, right? ? This person was originally the head of the Imperial Army, under the command of the Palace Commander, where is he now?"

Song Jiang was startled, and thought to himself, could it be that King Qin and Lin Chong are old?That's a bad thing!But...it doesn't seem right, if it's really old, how can it be forced to go to Liangshan?How dare Gao Qiu frame him?

He was in doubt for a moment, and then he muttered: "My lord, this Lin Chong..."

Zhao Tuo frowned: "I don't know Lin Chong, I just heard about him, but the reward in the hall does not include his name, where did he go?"

Song Jiang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "My lord, Lin Chong didn't want to call for security. Before I left for Beijing, I had already taken my wife Hu Sanniang down the mountain and fled away."

"Escaped?" Zhao Tong touched his chin: "Where are the other few people?"

Song Jiangdao: "The lower officials are afraid that Lin Chong will go to other places to occupy the mountain to rebel and bring trouble to the court, so he sent more than a dozen leaders to chase him down. It is estimated that his head has been raised at this moment and he is on his way back. .”

Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes, those few people actually went to chase and kill Lin Chong, but is Lin Chong so easy to kill?This person seems to have changed his temperament since he went to Liangshan, killing Wang Lun, killing Chao Gai, marrying Hu Sanniang, and fighting for the second place.

He thought for a while: "Has someone named Zhang Shun also gone?"

Song Jiang didn't understand how Zhao Tun knew about Zhang Shun, so he could only tell the truth: "Because Lin Chong fled to the south, the lower officials were afraid of going by water, so they sent two people who were good at water, Zhang Shun and Li Jun. Zhang Shun is one of the best in the village, and Li Jun is the best in martial arts in the water, with these two people, Lin Chong will definitely not be able to get through the water."

Zhao Tong nodded. Song Jiang knew how to use people well, and took advantage of the strengths of these two people. These two were bullies in the Xunyang River area of ​​Jieyangling back then. Zhou Shi once feuded with Zhang Shun outside the city, so this man must die.

Zhao Tong said: "Doctor Song, don't care about Lin Chong's life or death, and report to the king when he returns."

Song Jiang repeatedly said yes, although he didn't know why the King of Qin cared about such trivial matters, but he was always able to talk more, to invigorate the relationship, and he was omnipotent.

Zhao Tong said again: "Doctor Song, get up and sit down."

Song Jiang didn't even dare to say, he just said that it would be good to talk on his knees.

Zhao Tang looked at him and shook his head: "It's different today, you are already an official of the court, and you have not committed any wrongdoing, how can you kneel down?"

Song Jiang just got up and sat down on a chair beside him, but he didn't dare to speak proactively. Only Zhao Tang asked, and he came to answer, but the more he answered, the more frightened he became.

The originally prepared words were useless at all. Different from the questions asked by King Yun when he was recruiting security, the questions asked by King Qin were quite tricky and weird, which made him feel cold sweat dripping down his forehead unconsciously.

In some cases, he is so strategic that he can't help feeling short-sighted, with a poor structure, and looking at the sky from a well.

But some questions made him dumbfounded and speechless, and he couldn't believe it came from a prince.

He actually asked him what Yan Poxi looked like, and asked him why he didn't marry a wife and have children because he was not young, and even asked Hu Sanniang and Yan Poxi, which one had better appearance?
Song Jiang felt a confusion in his head, he was good at knowing people, but at this moment he really couldn't understand, he couldn't understand what kind of person this King Qin belonged to.

Zhao Tang asked a lot of questions, showing his foresight, and satisfying some of the things he had been curious about, before he stretched himself and picked up his teacup.

Song Jiang thought that the King of Qin was going to see off the guests, so he stood up tactfully and planned to say goodbye, but Zhao Tun asked again, "Doctor Song, what is loyalty?"

Song Jiang's heart trembled when he heard the words, and he thought to himself that it really came, but this was a question he had prepared before. He was supposed to answer the official, but the official was not interested in asking him these questions, but King Qin asked him here come out.

But what does King Qin mean by asking this?I heard that at this moment, some things are quite subtle. The crown prince is weak, and the king of Qin and the king of Yun are facing each other. They probably want to go further, right?
Thinking of this, Song Jiang fell to his knees with a "plop" sound: "The lower officials thought that loyalty... means that the king let the minister die, and the minister had to die!"

Zhao Tang stared at him, and smiled for a long time before saying, "Doctor Song, you can go back."

Song Jiang kowtowed and got up, and walked out of the gate of the palace. Although it was still snowing heavily and the cold was blowing, his clothes were completely soaked in sweat...

Liangzhe West Road, Muzhou, within the territory of Qingxi County.

Under the night, Lin Chong looked at the undulating mountains that looked like jagged monsters in the distance, and the Bangyuan Valley was already in sight.

He took a long breath, and then let out a long howl: "A real man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time!"
