The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 448

Thinking of this, Tong Guan made some calculations in his mind, and felt that the top priority of the Song court right now was to put down the Fangla Rebellion.As long as this is an excuse and Mu Xu is willing to hand over Hedong, it will not be difficult to convince the officials.

However, he was still worried, so he put forward a condition, "You must promise that you will not collude with Fang La again, and do things that hinder the court's quelling chaos."

Mu Xu, who had already figured out how to deal with it, agreed, "As long as the imperial court agrees to my two conditions, it will be easy to talk about this matter."

Tong Guan was slightly happy in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be embarrassed, "I can only promise you that I will speak well for you at the official's house, but I dare not guarantee whether this will happen or not."

Since Mu Xu was able to find Tong Guan, how could he not know how decent this guy is at Zhao Guan's house?

Therefore, he didn't give Tong Guan a chance to play tricks at all, he immediately fetched a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, waved his hands,

"In order to show our sincerity, let's write this matter down as a proof. I don't know what Tong Shumi wants?"

Tong Guan didn't expect Mu Xu to be so shameless, and he couldn't help but look ugly for a moment, "I am a dignified Song Dynasty privy envoy, how could he not keep his word?"

Mu Xu smiled back and said, "The villain first, and the gentleman second. This is also to better deepen mutual trust, so that no one will go back on their word.

Clerk Tong, you need to understand that for our cooperation this time, you only need to speak to Zhao Guan's family, and you can get great credit.

But I am just the opposite. Not only do I have to pay for most of the land in the east of the river, but I even have to bear the infamy of being dishonest to my allies. After that, I have to fight desperately with other races. I want you to have an insurance, isn’t it too much? "

After weighing the pros and cons, Tong Guan finally picked up the pen and paper, and was about to start writing when Mu Xu said,

"I was fortunate enough to witness Tong Shumi's handwriting, and I have to say that although the master's calligraphy is not comparable to that of Zhao Guanjia and Cai Jing, it is not comparable to ordinary people. It is so admirable!

By the way, please also ask Privy Tong to instruct you to kill Cai Xing and record it truthfully. "

Hearing Mu Xu's praise of his calligraphy, Tong Guan knew that his idea of ​​changing notes had come to nothing. He was thinking about countermeasures, but he didn't want to hear Mu Xu's more outrageous request. He could no longer suppress his anger, and threatened in a bad tone,
"Master Muzhai thinks that this old man is settled? Don't forget, this is the city of Tokyo, and this old man has ten thousand ways to keep you from leaving this place!"

Mu Xu sneered, and shot back, "Private Tong, don't forget, before you go to transfer troops, I will kill you like a chicken!"

While speaking, he patted the table in front of him lightly, and the table immediately fell apart, and the debris was scattered all over the floor.

Seeing the appalling scene in front of him, Tong Guan narrowed his eyes and calmed down completely. He couldn't help regretting the big move he made today.

But at this time, people are the swordsman and I am the fish, so he finally compromised.I had to pick up the pen and paper again, and followed Mu Xu's request with a dark face, and wrote down the transaction between the two and the murder of Cai Xing.

After Tong Guan stamped his private seal, Mu Xu picked up the handwriting in satisfaction, and found that there was no deviation in the content, then stuffed it into his cuff, and said with satisfaction, "I offended you so much today, please forgive me, Clerk Tong!"

Tong Guan snorted coldly, "Don't dare to do it! I only hope that no third person will read this handwritten letter."

"Private Tong can rest assured about this, I can swear to God, as long as our transaction goes smoothly, this handwritten letter will never fall into the hands of outsiders."

Don't look at Mu Xu's swearing, but Tong Guan, who has been in the officialdom for many years, would not easily believe such nonsense.But the matter has come to this point, he has no better way, he can only say insincerely,
"Forget it, the old man will believe you just once."

……

The next day, after morning.

Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji had a whim, and was painting in the Yanfu Palace, when suddenly a servant came to report, "Report to the official family, Tong Privy, please see me!"

Zhao Ji said without raising his head, "Show him in."

Not long after, Tong Guan came to the hall and was about to salute and say hello, but he saw Liang Shicheng who was waiting at the side shaking his head at him, he immediately understood, carefully retreated to the side and waited silently.

I don't know how long it has passed before Zhao Ji put down his pen, took the teacup from Liang Shicheng, admired his masterpiece with a smile on his face, and said casually,

"Is there anything you can't say at the court, and you have to come here?"

Tong Guan said, "Report to the official family, my brother has news of the traitor Mu Xu, but I don't dare to be self-reliant, so I came here to report to the official family."

Hearing this, Zhao Ji immediately cheered up and asked, "The Qing family can tell you quickly."

Tong Guan immediately changed the content of the transaction with Mu Xu, and finally said, "The above are all the requirements of Mu Xu, and he is also willing to return Hedong to the court, but..."

Zhao Ji was overjoyed at first, then frowned and said, "But what harsh conditions did that traitor put forward, making it difficult for you to say anything?"

"The sage has no faults with the official family, so Mu Xu suggested that we should follow the old practice of folding the family in Fuzhou."

Zhao Ji's eyes widened, "follow the old example of Zhejia, so what is he looking for?"

Tong Guan explained in a timely manner, "Then Mu Xu is so arrogant that he even said that as long as the officials allow him to be a Jiedu, he will lead troops to attack Xixia and take his fief from the Xixia territory."

"What, Qing, say it again?" Zhao Ji thought he had heard wrong, and asked in disbelief.

After hearing Tong Guan repeat it once, and convinced that he heard it right, Zhao Ji's first reaction was disbelief, "Qing thinks this statement is somewhat true, could it be the traitor's plan to slow down the army?"

Up to now, Tong Guan can only go to the dark one way, of course, he has to speak well for Mu Xu, just listen to him,
"Officials, regardless of whether this statement is true or not, it is beneficial to the imperial court. After all, the official only needs to issue an edict to temporarily stabilize the thief.

When the minister defeated Fang La and Wang Qing and led his troops northward to Hedong, he knew whether the matter was true or not.If it is true, it will be a disaster, and let them go and bite dogs with Xixia people.If it is fake, then the minister will not be merciful, and will definitely wipe it out on the spot. "

After hearing this, Zhao Ji felt that it was very reasonable, so he asked Liang Shicheng for advice, "Can Liang Aiqing teach me?"

Under Tong Guan's tense eyes, Liang Shicheng thought for a while and said, "If everything is true as Privy Tong said, this matter is feasible. Anyway, the worst result is that the court spends more money and food to calm Mu Xuni." It's just a thief."

Hearing that even Liang Shicheng agreed with this matter, Zhao Ji immediately wrote down an imperial edict, promising on it that as long as Mu Xu had the merits of opening up the territory, he would agree with him as the Son of Heaven, grant him the title of Jiedu, and rule over the local area. Responding to military and political power.

After Tong Guan got this edict, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.After resigning from the palace, he immediately ordered someone to send a personal letter and imperial edict to Liangshan and hand it over to his younger brother Tong Jian.

But it was said that after Tong Guan received the letter from Tong Guan, he learned from the letter that in just a few days, Mu Xu had gone to Tokyo, not only got rid of his son-in-law, but also forced his elder brother to sign the alliance under the city. .

Tong Jian immediately put on a posture of inspiring the teacher to inquire about the crime, and went to see Mu Xu with the imperial edict in hand.

Unexpectedly, after Mu Xu got the imperial edict written by Zhao Ji himself, he ignored Tong Jian's little emotions, but looked at the words on it in amazement, and his thinking began to go astray unconsciously.

"If this can go back to modern times, with this authentic Song Huizong, it can't take off in place!"

Seeing Mu Xu's complacent look, Tong Jian couldn't help asking, "Master Mu, how could you have killed my son-in-law and made my poor daughter a widow without first discussing with my subordinates?" , should you give my family an explanation?"

Mu Xu put away the edict, handed it to Xu Guanzhong, and said with a smile, "Old boy, you can't sue the wicked first, you don't know the good people, I'm obviously helping you.

Now thanks to me, Miss Tong can finally get out of the quagmire of the Cai family, wouldn't it be congratulations?Aren't you a father happy for her? "

Before Tong Jian could refute, Mu Xu took out another letter, held it up and said eloquently,
"Look, I'm worried about Miss Tong's lifelong event. This is my personal letter to Wang Qing. In it, I not only advised him to take the initiative to seek security in the future, but also told him that Miss Tong is currently a widow at home. Just wait until he comes to propose marriage!"

Tong Jian didn't care too much, and grabbed the letter from Mu Xu's hand. After finding out that the content was exactly what Mu Xu said, he regained his mental balance, but still asked,
"Why did the village master say to choose a day to recruit security, not now?"

After saying this, he saw Mu Xu looking at him as if he was mentally retarded, and then he said angrily, "What is wrong with this officer, is it possible that Mu Zhaizhu wants to cross the river and demolish the bridge?"

Mu Xu shook his head and said, "Look, you're here again. As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Even if Wang Qing agrees to recruit, you have to appease the people under his command and confirm the sincerity of your Tong family, right?
What's more, if Wang Qing recruits security now, how can this credit fall on Tong Shumi's head, you don't think anyone will come out to pick peaches! "

Tong Jian wanted to take advantage of Mu Xu's loss and come here to ask for some benefits, but when he didn't want to, Mu Xu said a few words, so he was speechless, so he had to tell Mu Xu unhappy that he was going to set off tomorrow and return to the capital to return to his life .

Looking at the figure of Tong Jian leaving, Xu Guanzhong said happily, "With the edict of the emperor of the Zhao family, the village master will occupy the land of Youyun in the future, which is equivalent to having a righteous name in hand, and I don't know how much trouble it will save. "

Mu Xu shook his head and smiled, "In the end, this layer of tiger skin can only bluff people. The key function is to block the mouths of the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty, so that they can't find the reason for plotting You Yun."

Xu Guanzhong understood this, so he skipped this topic right now, and cared about when Mu Xu would return to Hedong.

Mu Xu thought for a while, and replied, "Ten days later, I plan to take most of the troops away when I go to Hedong this time. By the way, I also invite the military advisor to go with me."

Xu Guanzhong was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked, "Who will be in charge of Liangshan here?"

Mu Xu pinched the center of his brows with a headache, and sighed, "I'm also having a headache with this problem. I wonder if someone can recommend me as a military advisor?"

Xu Guan pondered for a moment, then gave an unexpected answer, and only heard him say, "At present, our focus is all on Youyun, and this place is a bit tasteless. How about removing all the population and leaving only a navy to stay here?" ?”

"Why did the military master say that?"

Facing Mu Xu's question, Xu Guanzhong explained, "The village master, just imagine, after we send troops to Youyun, the kings and ministers of Song Dynasty will naturally know that they have been tricked by the village master.

At that time, they have nothing to do with the Land of Nether Clouds, and they are afraid that they will attack Liangshan Po, which is under their noses.If there is such a day, will the village master save it or not? "

After Xu Guanzhong's reminder, Mu Xu also reacted.That's right, if you have Youyun as your foundation, then leaving Liangshanbo is really tasteless, it's delicious to eat, but it's a pity to discard it.

Continuing to stay here will not only disperse the troops, but also have to be on guard against the Song court sending troops to attack.After all, Liangshan is located in the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, only a few hundred miles away from Tokyo City, and there are waterways running through it, so it doesn't take a few days to kill the city.

As long as there is still a man of insight in the Song Dynasty, they will not let this place be left alone.

Although the truth is true, but Mu Xu has invested too much manpower and material resources in Liang Shanbo, so it is really difficult to make him give up for no reason.

Seeing Mu Xu's hesitant look, Xu Guanzhong continued to persuade, "Village Master, you must stop it, and you will be disturbed by it. Liangshan Po is a good place, but it is not a place to stay for a long time.

Otherwise, why would the village master bother to plan for the east of the river first, and then seek for Youyun, in order to win a foundation for his career?Big things are about to happen right now, so you must not linger on this place anymore, lest it will become a drag and make people in a dilemma. "

Mu Xu took a breath and sighed, "Forget it, I will leave this matter to the military division. Before I send troops to the north, all the population must be relocated to Hedong."

Xu Guanzhong complied, and was about to deal with the matter. When he reached the door, he stopped suddenly and asked, "Do you want to notify the Hu family?"

Mu Xu hesitated for a while, thinking of Hu Sanniang's pretty face, he let go and said, "Send someone to Hu's family to pass on my message, saying that whether to leave or stay is up to his family to decide, I will not force them."

Obtaining Mu Xu's order, Xu Guanzhong summoned all the leaders that day, conveyed Mu Xu's order, and asked Song Wan and Du Qian, who were in charge of the logistics, to start working on the relocation, and sent Yan Qing to go to Hujiazhuang for a while. The Hu family sent a message.

So, in the following period of time, the whole Liangshanbo became busy, and every day there were boats carrying people, or money and food, going west along the Yellow River.

It is worth mentioning that, in order to ensure that the migration would not be obstructed by the local government, Mu Xu also specially sent someone to the capital to ask Tong Guan for help, asking him to ask the Taoist priest at Zhao Guan's house and order the local government to let him go.

Tong Guan originally wanted to make things difficult because of what Mu Xu did before, but in the end he was persuaded by Tong Jian and finally agreed to the matter.

As for what Tong Jian said, it was very simple. He just told Tong Guan that it was not worth offending Mu Xu for such a trivial matter.

Tong Guan thought about it too, so he had no choice but to beg to see Zhao Ji reluctantly, asking for a warrant on the grounds of driving Mu Xu out of Shandong, and sent someone to give it to Mu Xu.

　Let me go. The weather this year is ridiculously hot. It has been around [-] degrees in the past few days. If you don’t turn on the air conditioner at night, you will be sweating all over. If you turn on the air conditioner, you will have a terrible headache when you wake up in the morning.

　　I hope all my friends can take measures to cool down and pay attention to your health!
