Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Song Gaozong's original target was Han Shizhong, but now that Yue Fei came to his door, of course he had to change the target and kill others.

Before executing Yue Fei, Han Shizhong finally couldn't bear it because Yue Fei had helped him pass the test, and went to question the prime minister Qin Hui. If there is no conclusive evidence of rebellion, he will kill the general?

Prime Minister Qin Hui looked at Han Shizhong, who had outstanding acting skills but not enough political skills, and said helplessly: "There is no need for it!"

This "unnecessary" does not mean that there is no need, but that there may be.As far as the emperor is concerned, as long as he suspects that your commanding general is suspected of treason, it is enough to make him murderous.You can't wait for your generals to lead the army to the outside of the capital, and after the fact of the rebellion is confirmed, and then verbally condemn them, let your own head accuse the generals of their disloyalty!

After listening to Prime Minister Qin Hui's words, Han Shizhong muttered: "How can you convince the people of the world without reason", but he also understood it, and stopped speaking wisely.And from then on, Han Shizhong completely gave up his intention of being in charge of the army, eating, drinking, playing and entertaining himself, so as to keep his life safe and rich.

It was also because it was "unnecessary", so Yue Fei was secretly executed in the Fengbo Pavilion in Dali Temple Prison, instead of being beheaded in public for treason like Zhang Xian and Yue Yun.

To be honest, during the Song-Jin war at that time, the economy of the Southern Song Dynasty was almost dragged down, and most of the wealth earned every year was used for the armies of Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei.If this is the case, the military strength of the Southern Song Dynasty can only maintain the Jianghuai defense line, and it is simply unable to compete with the Jin State in the Central Plains.

Prime Minister Qin Hui negotiated with the King of Jin and Pai Wanyan Talan to return the Shaanxi and Henan lands that the Song army could not hold, and was eventually taken back by the main combat faction's Wanyan Wushu.

Under the comparison of the strengths of the two countries, Yue Fei's "Go straight to the Huanglong Mansion" is just a beautiful political slogan. The battlefield is still stalemate in Henan, which is the heartland of the Song Dynasty. The Song Army really has the strength to hit Liaodong. Are you going to Huanglong Mansion?

It is one thing to defeat the Jin army and reach Liaodong, but it doesn't cost much to shout a few slogans with lofty goals. Instead, it can help the generals expand their strength confidently and control the army. Why not do it?

If Yue Fei died peacefully and peacefully, he probably would not have been mythical in history. Like many Southern Song generals such as Zong Ze, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Wu Jie, etc., he would have been evaluated as unrewarded for his ambitions!

However, after Yue Fei died like this, people in later generations can indulge in wanton prostitution.These people completely disregarded the real war potential of the Southern Song Dynasty, boasting that as long as Yue Fei survived, they could fight Liaodong and destroy the Kingdom of Jin.

Anyway, Yue Fei died early, the Yue family army would never be defeated on the battlefield, and the obscenity of later generations cannot be falsified, so just brag about it as you please!

It's not that we can't fight, we just can fight. The general was killed by a traitor.Such a reason is very good and powerful, especially suitable for those who refuse to face reality to anesthetize themselves.

A great god rises from this.

However, all of this actually started from Wang Jun's informant. Wang Jun is an important figure who quietly influenced history!

When Ximenqing remembered Wang Jun's deeds in history and recognized that Wang Jun in Dongping's Dong Ping army was the ultimate informer who later cheated Yue Fei and Zhang Xian, he felt like a treasure.

With Wang Jun lurking beside Dong Ping, are you afraid that the bird man Dong Ping will defect to the enemy?

That night, when Ximen Qing bought the hearts of the soldiers in Dongping Mansion, Wang Jun came to visit, and was bought by the senior officials of Ximen Qing with hundreds of taels of gold that night.

What Ximenqing asked Wang Jun to do was to follow his boss Dong Ping closely. As long as he found that Dong Ping had the intention of betraying the court, he would warn himself and the prefect Cheng Wanli in time.

Ximenqing also asked Wang Jun to rescue the prefect Cheng Wanli's family from Dongping Mansion and bring them to his Yanggu County when the situation was critical.If all of Cheng Wanli's family members cannot be rescued, he must try his best to protect Cheng Wanli's daughter and bring her to Yanggu County safely to him.

Ximenqing's request was also to prevent thieves, and it was beneficial to the court, not to make Wang Jun turn his back on the court, and of course he didn't need to make painful choices.For Wang Jun, who received hundreds of taels of gold, he naturally agreed.

Facts have proved that Wang Jun is indeed a unique talent who can be the deputy commander of the main front army in Yue Fei's Yue Family Army, and can quietly sue Yue Fei and Zhang Xian, who have overshadowed the sky in Ezhou. One hundred taels of gold and a lot of painstaking efforts.

It is precisely because of a latent master like Wang Jun by Dong Ping's side that the idiot "God of Danger" Yu Baosi loses his final use value.When Yu Baosi was still fantasizing about continuing to work for Ximen Qing, he was ruthlessly rejected by Ximen Qing.

Hanging a huge human head on the city gate to show the public is the last contribution made by Yu Baosi, a shameless bandit, to the officials of Ximen Qing.

Wang Jun rescued the prefect Cheng Wanli's family from Dongping Mansion, and handed them over to Ximen Qing officials without incident, and got a lot of money from Ximen Qing.

Today's Dongping Prefecture Military and Horse Superintendent Wang Jun has already been completely bribed by Ximen Qing, and has become Ximen Qing's hidden line in the army.

Wang Jun also saw from Ximenqing's confession that Ximenqing was interested in the prefect Cheng Wanli's daughter.Therefore, he took the opportunity to advise Cheng Wanli to persuade Cheng Wanli to marry his daughter to Ximen Qing.

Money is easy to do!

Chapter 552 My Hand Is a Traitor

Ximenqing bribed Wang Jun and let him work as an undercover agent beside Dong Ping. He successfully rescued Cheng Wanli's family when Dong Ping rebelled, and brought Cheng Wanli's family to Yanggu County, where they were placed by Ximenqing.This move obviously created a good opportunity for the official Ximen Qing to hook up with Cheng Wanli's daughter.In Dongping Mansion, Wang Jun also lost no time in acting as a lobbyist for Ximen Qing, giving the prefect Cheng Wanli a "good" idea of ​​recruiting Ximen Qing as his son-in-law.

It should be said that Cheng Wanli's family members are now in the mansion of Ximen Qingyanggu County. For Ximen Qing, a local tyrant who is handsome, suave, and good at capturing the hearts of young ladies, this is indeed a good opportunity to get close to Cheng Momei, the young lady of the Cheng family.However, now the official Ximen Qing, who has always been flirtatious and lustful, has some hesitation.

Ximen Qing's hesitation was mainly due to the background of the prefect Cheng Wanli.

Cheng Wanli used to be Mr. Menguan in Taiwei Tongguan's mansion, and he helped Tongguan write various official documents, which is equivalent to the leadership secretary of later generations.Such a person has quite a relationship with Taiwei Tongguan!Although he was also a person who won the imperial examination, but he was able to come to the prosperous Dongping Mansion on the east and west roads of Beijing to be the magistrate, I am afraid that it is also due to the power behind Taiwei Tongguan.

In the beginning, Ximenqing only acted righteously because he didn't like "Two Guns" Dong Ping, the scumbag villain who murdered his whole family and wanted to prostitute his daughter. family.

But now, although Ximenqing also covets Cheng Momei's beauty, the prefect Cheng Wanli's family is still there. If he takes Cheng Momei by his side, he will naturally become a son-in-law with Cheng Wanli.Cheng Wanli is undoubtedly Taiwei Tongguan's party, so wouldn't he also have a relationship with Taiwei Tongguan because of this?

Ximenqing's previous thinking was to try his best to avoid Song Huizong and those important and favorite ministers around him, lest the Jingkang incident be muddled into their muddy water.Therefore, Ximen Qing has not gone out of the road of being an official since he crossed, just in order not to be buried with Song Huizong, the bird emperor.

Now, for the sake of a beautiful little lady who is very colorful, is it necessary to have a relationship with Tong Guantong Taiwei, one of the "Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty"?Is there any danger in this that I didn't think of?Will the butterfly's wings fan the future history beyond recognition?

Ximen Qing hadn't thought about whether to spend his time trying to seduce Cheng Wanli's daughter, so he was a little entangled with the prefect Cheng Wanli's family.

In fact, there is no need for senior officials like Ximen Qing to seduce her. Ever since she came to Yanggu County, Cheng Momei, the daughter of Cheng Wanli, has been looking for opportunities to meet Ximen Qing and his wives intentionally or unintentionally. What's your idea?

But for a few days, Cheng Momei and her sister Ximen Xin worked on gold and silver jewelry, made up and painted eyebrows, and became good sisters who talked about everything.

After that, Cheng Momei discussed poetry and books with Liu Xiuxiang, embroidered with Pan Jinlian, played the piano and sang with Zhang Yulan, Li Jiaojiao and Zhang Xixi, and soon became acquainted with the little ladies around Ximenqing.It's a pity that she doesn't know martial arts, otherwise she would definitely go to learn horseback riding and archery with Hu Sanniang.

Although he didn't know martial arts, Cheng Momei knew that Ximenqing had a pasture in Yanggu County and raised many horses, so he seemed to be interested in horse riding again.After Cheng Momei asked Ximen Qing to take her to the ranch, she met Boer Jijin? Alan, and learned how to ride a horse with Boer Jijin? Alan.

That Cheng Momei invited Ximen Qing to Yanggu County's mansion to exchange poems with her for a while, which made Ximen Qing become a copywriter several times; later, she asked Ximen Qing to lead her to the ranch for a horseback ride, riding side by side with Ximen Qing.Any fool could see that she had some affection for Ximen Qing, and deliberately gave Ximen Qing some opportunities to get close to her.

If it wasn't for her having a father who was a magistrate and a confidant of Tong Guan, Ximen Qing couldn't make a decision for a while, I'm afraid the flirtatious and lustful official Ximen Qing would have been unable to restrain himself from attacking her long ago.

Cheng Wanli's wife didn't know why she came to Yanggu County, but she was also very satisfied with life here.After Cheng Wanli regained Dongping Mansion, she did not bring her family back to Dongping Mansion immediately, but continued to live in the mansion provided by Ximen Qing with peace of mind, spending all the food and clothing at the official Ximen Qing's expense.Cheng Wanli's wife really doesn't regard herself as an outsider!

Regarding the fact that her daughter Cheng Momei travels between Yanggu County, Ximen Fort, and the horse ranch all day long, Cheng Wanli's wife does not restrain her a little bit, but allows her to tease Ximen Qing from time to time. What is the idea behind this? ?

While Ximen Qing was thinking about it secretly, the servant at home brought Cheng Momei's letter again. There was a new poem written by the little lady on the letter, and he wanted to invite the famous poet Ximen Qing to appreciate it.At the end of the letter, Cheng Momei asked Ximen Qing to take her to the ranch to practice horseback riding tomorrow.

snort!This annoying little goblin!Now Liangshanbo bandits are raging on the east and west roads of Beijing, and I am a high-ranking official who takes care of everything every day. How can you be the only escort of you little lady?

Thinking of Cheng Momei's delicate and beautiful face, although the official Ximen Qing was reluctant verbally, his body still honestly responded as it should.

Woke up early the next day, and it was another beautiful spring day.Ximen Qing arrived in front of his mansion in Yanggu County early, picked up Cheng Momei and went for a horseback ride on the ranch.

Cheng Momei obviously dressed up carefully. When she walked out of the gate in white, the golden sunlight fell on her body, which made the eyes of the official Ximenqing brighten, and he couldn't help applauding secretly in his heart.

The ranch is not close to the city of Yanggu County. Ximen Qing and Cheng Momei rode horses and led more than a dozen servants, admiring the spring scenery on the side of the road and reciting some poems describing the spring scenery. It took more than half an hour to arrive at the ranch .

At Cheng Momei's request, the servants first led the horses to the camp where "Purple Bearded Uncle" Huangfu led them to live, leaving only Ximen Qing to accompany her to ride freely in the pasture and wander around.

Ximen Qing and Cheng Momei had their own thoughts and chatted without saying a word. The two horses led them to the old course of the Yellow River.

Although the Yellow River has changed its course and no longer passes through Yanggu County, there are still some large and small puddles and lakes in the former river course.Because of this, the water and grass on both sides of the river are beautiful, and Ximen Qing and Huangfu Duan chose it as a place to raise horses.

What appeared in front of the two of Ximen Qing at this time was a small lake shimmering in the sunshine of spring, and dense reeds grew by the lake.

"Master Ximen, my family is a little tired, can you help my family get off the horse and go to the lake to rest for a while?" Cheng Momei's soft voice penetrated into Ximen Qing's ears, it was really bone-crushing!

Ximen Qing jumped off the horse, and after standing firm, he came to Cheng Momei's horse and wanted to help her get off the horse.Perhaps the little lady was too tired, when she saw Ximen Qing approaching, she slipped off the horse and threw herself into Ximen Qing's arms.

The official Ximen Qing called out "no" in his heart, but his hands grasped Cheng Momei's vital parts involuntarily.
