() With the gradual stabilization of the situation in various parts of Hebei, officials in many places came back on their own without being summoned for no other reason. Everyone knows that being an official is better than ordinary people, no matter whose rule they are under!

Hebei is so big, and Song Qing didn't have so many civil servants available, so for officials who returned voluntarily, Song Qing would generally let them reinstate their posts.

However, these officials who came back quickly felt the difference. It turned out that under the leadership of the imperial court, the imperial court would not intervene in some of their small actions at all, and would even come to share a share of the pie, but now it is no longer possible, thinking about it again Send some money to the country, squeeze the people or something, as long as the soldiers of King Liang know about it, they will cut off your head immediately.It doesn't matter what your official position is.

In this way, King Liang's prestige among ordinary people is getting higher and higher, while officials have to keep their tails between their legs.At the same time, it also deepened the resentment towards Song Qing in the hearts of some officials.

Hatred turns to hate, who will let people have military power in their hands!But there are those who are content with the status quo, and of course there are those who are restless.

As soon as Zhu Wu left, a secret report about the collusion between the magistrate of the Daming Prefecture and the Lin'an court was sent to Song Qing's desk.

When returning from Daizhou all the way, Song Qing learned about the current affairs in many places, and combined with what Yue Fei said to him, he had a deeper understanding of Hebei under the former imperial court.

In this era when the people of the country are deeply dependent on the land, the land is undoubtedly the life of the people. However, due to the imperial court's corruption, local officials colluded with officials at all levels of the court to frantically plunder the land that the people depended on for their livelihood.

As Yue Fei said, this is the root of the disaster.To change this situation, a thorough reform of the bureaucracy is necessary.

Just like Yue Fei was killed without intercession in history, this move will definitely stand on the opposite side of the entire landlord and aristocratic class.Therefore, if we want to implement land reform, we must be cautious.

However, if one wants to achieve long-term stability and gain the support of the people, this move is imperative.The situation in Hebei must be broken before it can be established.

After Song Qing came back from Hebei, he had been thinking about this matter. Now it seems that some people can't help but jump out without doing it themselves.

It should also be said that these people jumped out at the right time, and Song Qingzheng needed a proper entry point.

Liu Yu, the magistrate of the famous prefecture in the secret report, also served in Jinan Prefecture and was a senior court official. The secret report also mentioned that this person seemed to be closer to the Jinren, but there is no conclusive evidence and is currently being investigated.

Those who contacted Liu Yu were some prefects or senior officials such as Sima Biejia.And these people's homes are more or less keeping a group of private soldiers, so if you don't do anything about these people, you have to take them down with lightning speed.

After pondering for a long time, Song Qing ordered people to pass the news to Zhu Wu who was rushing to Xixia as quickly as possible, and asked him to handle the matter with full authority. , and also a clean sky in Hebei.

At this time, Zhu Wu's brigade had just arrived in Bozhou, and had not yet entered the boundary of Daming Mansion.After receiving the urgent secret order from Song Qing, Zhu Wu couldn't help thinking.

Zhu Wu can be said to be one of Song Qing's confidantes, of course he knows Song Qing's eagerness to change the situation in Hebei, but just as Song Qing thinks, this move must be cautious.

Fortunately, Yan Qing's marriage was covered up, otherwise if a large army is dispatched, these people will definitely be alerted.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Wu wrote a plan with a brush and ordered someone to send it to Song Qing for review. At the same time, he summoned his subordinates to arrange various matters, and notified Cao Zheng to keep in touch with himself on intelligence and to prepare for it. Prepare for various emergencies.

The day of Yanqing's marriage is set on New Year's Eve, and now it's just about to enter winter, so there is still plenty of time.

No one would have imagined that the biggest clean government storm since the establishment of the Liangshan regime was brewing in the Hexi team.

In the back hall of the Daming Mansion, Liu Yu sat there with a gloomy face, without moving for a long time, no one knew what he was thinking.

In fact, in history, Liu Yu was still very famous in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, because he was the number one Jian Jian. If it is abolished, it may leave more marks in history.

But all of this changed because of Song Qing's sudden birth, what didn't change was still his restless heart.

At this time, Liu Yu couldn't figure it out, why the so-called invincible Dajin cavalry came and went in a hurry?

However, the Liangshan troops in the Song and Qing Dynasties completely disrupted his plan to use the hands of the Jin people to separate Hebei and the Zhao and Song courts to fight against the court.

What Liu Yu didn't know was that it was fortunate that he hid deep enough, otherwise the inner guards would have spotted him long ago.If that's the case, it is estimated that he may not even have any bones left.

As far as this forbearance alone is concerned, Zhao Gouzhao is far behind.

Liu Yu has now secretly contacted Zhao, Ji, Xing, De, and Hui.The chief executive of the land of six states and seven prefectures.Because these officials had been in contact with him long ago, they conducted it very secretly.

These people didn't fully know what Liu Yu was thinking. All they wanted was to restore the original imperial court's policy in Hebei and protect the interests of officials and gentry like them.

But now the imperial court has ordered Liang Wang to take charge of all things in Hebei, and what Liang Wang implemented in Shandong, how can they accept it?

They also wanted to go to Hebei to appease the deputy envoy, old general Zongze, but they never thought that old general Zongze had already gone to recuperate due to illness, and no one knew where he went.

These people have been in the officialdom for many years, so they don't understand that Zong Ze may be in danger.In this case, all they can do is contact the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court can take back control of Hebei.

Zhao Huan was afraid of Song Qing as a tiger, and now he was busy recharging his energy, so how would he care about them?But they can't cool their hearts, so they hinted that they would cause more troubles in Hebei, so that Liangshan Song and Qing could not develop with peace of mind. When the time is right, the imperial court will take back control of Hebei.

For their own vested interests, but also for the long-term development of the family, these people joined together and embarked on a road of no return.

Seeing his father sitting there with his old face still refusing to make a sound, Liu Yu's son Liu Lin said cautiously: "Father, the people sent by the uncles of each family have arrived, do you want to meet?"

Liu Yu glared at his son, and said in a deep voice, "Let your uncle go, and you don't want to stand out, the little thief in Song and Qing Dynasties is very cunning, we must not let him know that we are also involved."

"The child understands"

Liu Lin turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and said, "I heard that the dog-headed military commander in Liangshan is going to Xixia, how should we deal with him?"

"You don't need to worry about this matter, the father has his own way to deal with him"

Liu Yu hated this son a little bit, but his son has no shortcomings, but he has no independent opinions, and he has to ask himself everything.It's easy to talk about anything when he's here, but what should he do if he's not there that day?

Withdrawing his thoughts, his attention turned to Zhu Wu who was coming.

Liang Wang Songqing's subordinates, apart from Wu Yong and Lin Chong, should be Zhu Wu. If he is a dog-headed military adviser, everyone else will be a fool.

Song Qing sent him to Xixia, although he attached great importance to Yanqing, more importantly, he should study the matter of uniting with Xixia to fight against gold.From this point alone, it is not difficult to see that Song Qing's ambition is not small.

Now that he has controlled Shandong, if he completely controls Hebei, who else can rule him?Could it be that the old man can only nest under others for the rest of his life?

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Liu Yu's eyes.

Three days later at dusk, Zhu Wu's congratulatory team marched into Daming City.

Zhu Wu had a prominent position in the Liangshan regime, so Liu Yu, the magistrate, led all the officials of the Daming Mansion out of the city to greet him.And Sima of Daming Mansion.The hero of Liangshan, General Shi Yong, led his troops to welcome him out the day before.

Shi Yong will be in charge of Zhu Wu's guard in Daming Mansion until Zhu Wu leaves.

Zhu Wu and Liu Yu had never met each other before, and after being introduced by the accompanying subordinates, the two smiled and clasped fists, which was regarded as a greeting and acquaintance.

Liu Yu said affectionately: "Master Zhu has worked so hard from afar, and my subordinates have prepared bouillon and vegetables at the mansion, and I hope Master Zhu will reward you."

"Hehe! It's easy to say, you and I are both subjects under King Liang's rule, so we should get closer to each other."

After Zhu Wu finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Shi Yong, "I am going to drink at Mr. Liu's house, and you will arrange the others!" Then he glanced at Li Kui and said, "Would you like to go with me?"

Li Kui shook his head and said: "It's too boring for you to sit together and flatter each other hypocritically. If I don't go, I'll find a drink myself."

Li Kui is a person who has one intestine to the end. He can say whatever comes to his mind, regardless of their feelings.

Zhu Wu was better, but Liu Yu was unavoidably a little embarrassed, thinking that he was indeed a bandit with no quality at all.

Zhu Wu smiled and turned to Shi Yong and said, "Look at this Hesi, don't let him get into trouble, and don't give him too much wine."

Shi Yong felt a pain in his head, thinking that I can control this ancestor?But he didn't dare to say no, he bowed and agreed.

After arranging for Li Kui, Zhu Wu took several guards to Liu Yu's house for a banquet.

As soon as Zhu Wu walked away, Li Kui seemed to be a different person, and threatened Shi Yong with a pair of bull's eyes: "I'm going to drink by myself, don't follow me, don't blame me for being rude to you, by the way." , don’t talk nonsense with the military division, I’ll go and drink a few cups and come back.”

Shi Yong felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, and said with a bitter face: "But..."

"Okay, okay, there's nothing but, but, you go back!" Li Kui said, waving to the soldiers around him, "Go, let's go and have a drink, but I'm suffocating, and next time I say something different. Out"

The dozen or so soldiers were all people with a similar temper to Li Kui, otherwise they wouldn't have been attracted by him. Under Zhu Wu's strict supervision, they all tucked their tails and looked like obedient babies. Now that Zhu Wu is not here, then Can you still bear it?They followed Li Kui away like a swarm.

Shi Yong seemed helpless, but a sly smile flashed across his mouth, and he shouted for his subordinates to follow, so that Li Kui and the others could not find their way back after drinking.

Looking at the backs of Li Kui and his group, many soldiers in Liangshan couldn't help thinking that that restaurant was about to suffer again.
