Aftermath of Water Margin

Chapter 40
But he said that Yanqing wanted the Lord Tween to marry all the heroes, and said: "We started a business and started a business. Although the old officials in the middle of the country served their original positions, their spirits may not be very consistent after all. If you choose famous families all over the world, you will come with a sergeant. All civil and military officials, regardless of their rank or rank, or their age, propose marriage and choose a son-in-law at the same time, so that the family is right, the two are willing, each other is a family, yin and yang are in harmony, and there will be no barriers from then on. They must be grateful and work hard. , can inherit the family, and later he is good to assist the heir. It is really the so-called one action and three good preparations. That is, the sergeants who have no wives and children may wish to marry each other with the Siamese nationals. Thinking of the natives, the army has no worries about fleeing the army. The so-called human wheel begins with husband and wife, and Wang Hua begins with the boudoir. The foundation of the Zhou family's 800 years of peace is all in the eight characters of "no resentful women inside, no husbands outside". Do it. Don’t rush into the current important task.” The ruler said: “My virtuous brother can not only stabilize the country, but also understand the physics of human relations. It is really respectable. Just trouble the four of you.” Yan Qing said: “Small matters Why bother with the Prime Minister's Ministry of Officials? You only need to have fun and participate in politics, but let Mrs. Gu come and take care of you." The lord asked: "What's the use of him?" Yan Qing said: "We are ministers, how can we look carefully? If there is Secret illness, how do you know it? It must be carefully investigated by Gu Dasao, and the concubine will select the real material." The lord agreed.Yanqing and Lehe issued a decree that the famous families in the country are willing to have a Chinese figure as their son-in-law.Sister-in-law Gu chose dozens of them, each with a dowry of 300 taels, [-] pieces of colorful paragraphs, hairpins and clothes, and gave them separately.They were sent to the palace on the shoulders of a selected day, and the lord of the country and Concubine Wen saw that each one was beautiful and dignified, and they were all materials of his wife, so they were overjoyed.It is ordered that civil and military heroes should each go to match their horoscopes. The man's family who gets married should choose an auspicious day;In a country, most of them are bridegrooms and brides. They really feel that the weather is harmonious, the monarch and his subjects are happy with each other, and men and women have timely happiness.Choose all over the world, there is no such happy world anymore.Only Gongsun Sheng, Zhu Wu, and Fan Rui bid farewell to the happy event, and said: "The monks are devoted to cultivation, and they have already swept away the dust, so why do they need dependents?"

But it is said that the daughter of a coordinator in the country, who betrothed Di Cheng, did not dare to leave the flooded area lightly because of the distance between Qingshui and Ao, and prepared her own boat to send it.The original family members of Guan Sheng on Baishi Island, the lord of the country sent someone to marry Yang Lin and Gao Qing back home.Gao Qing accepted the order gladly, Yang Lin just pondered.Guan Shengdao: "This is the kindness of the lord of the country, and he understands human feelings. Why did you hesitate?" Yang Lindao: "The attack on Baishi Island the day before yesterday could not have been successful without Fang Ming. Although his daughter was humiliated by Tu Kong, she was born quite well. Xiushu. Fang Ming wanted to take his daughter with me several times, but he was afraid that it would involve personal interests, so he firmly rejected him. If I marry another person today, I will let down Fang Ming's sincerity; if I don't go, I will violate the good wishes of the king. Therefore, this matter is in a dilemma." Guan Sheng said: "It's not difficult, just wait for me, Shen Wen, to give you a resignation form." He called Fang Ming and said, "You have broken Baishi Island, and you have to be promoted. My daughter can be your wife with General Yang. Let's guard together." Fang Mingdao: "I've had this intention for a long time, but I didn't dare because General Yang insisted on resigning. Now I accept the general's order and send it here immediately." Guan Sheng bought wine and married Yang Lin.Shen Wen didn't answer the question.

But Hua Fengchun came to report and said: "My nephew has never repaid Uncle Le's great kindness. After Aunt Le died, there is no wife. If you know that Uncle Le has a very elegant personality, you don't need to marry someone from here. There is a maid beside the princess. , who was originally from Chaozhou, named Wu Caixian, beautiful in appearance, dignified in virtue, the princess treated him like a sister, in her twenties, and wanted to send Uncle Le to be his wife, so I came here to inform my uncle." The king said: "Le participates in politics. Since Kunling rescued me from prison, pacified Jin’ao Island, and formed a bond with Siam, it is mostly his great contribution. Now I treat each other as an example, and I feel very sorry. It’s just that I can’t hire a wife for a while. My nephew’s kindness can be said to be a kind repayment Yes. Young Master Yan is needed to cooperate." So Yan Qing came to say that he knew what he meant.Yan Qing said: "This is a beautiful thing, wait for me to tell him. Son-in-law, you were actually sent to Sun Li's mansion." Yan Qing went to meet Sun Li and Le He, and chatted after tea.Yan Qing said: "Then Yang Lin will be good-looking, marrying Fang Ming's daughter, who was born on a Yangzhou skinny horse, is not good. It's just a relationship with Tu Kong." Le He said: "If you like it, you might as well get it. " Yan Qing raised his eyebrows and said: "The lord wants me to go to Lin'an again." Le He said: "What is it for?" I feel uneasy, and want me to go to the capital to hire a rich lady and send her as my wife." Le He admitted the truth and said, "Is there any reason? It's too much for someone to serve the pillow mat, so why bother your teacher to go far! The king is like a flesh and blood Why do you have to be courteous when you are in the right place, and let me go and thank you." Sun Li said: "This is not a military matter, so why bother to sail thousands of miles?" Yan Qing said: "Since he is resigning from politics and has a ready-made wife, send it Alright." Le He said, "Young Master is here to make fun of it again, Madam, do you have any ready-made ones?"

While talking, I saw the prince-in-law leading a big sedan chair, followed by four palace maids, carrying a thousand gold dowry behind them, playing loudly, and a group of people came.Sun Li and Le He were stunned when they saw this, and Hua Fengchun said, "Uncle Le has never repaid his great favor. There is a maid beside the princess, named Wu Caixian, who is from Chaozhou, with good morals and looks. The lord of the country specially entrusted Young Master Yan to send him off. Come, Madam Quan, to show a little gratitude." Sun Li said: "Master Cai just said that he wanted to come to Lin'an for an engagement, but he couldn't do it. If the son-in-law is kind, Uncle Le can accept it." Yanqing smiled and said: " I said it was ready-made. Please Madam get out of the sedan chair." Wu Caixian got out of the sedan chair, and she was indeed peerless.After the wine was over, Sun Li arranged the flowers and candles and married Lehe.It is clear that Mrs. Han is overjoyed to meet Yu You.

The next day Sun Li and Le He came to thank the King and his son-in-law.Yan Qing, Pei Xuan, and Chai Jin were all in the hall, thanking them.The lord of the country called Xuanhu Yanyu to come, and said, "Nephew, you called Liu Gongtao's daughter the day before yesterday, and now you have a wife, so please take her as a deputy." Gongtao usurped and murdered the whole family. This girl was innocently messed up by Sa Toutuo. There is a rule in the law that married women are exempted from death, and it is useful to keep it. It should be settled today. Although Brother Yun is a villain, he is also upright. With the power to save my little nephew, Song Anping, and Xu Sheng, he made great contributions to destroying Yuncheng County. I don’t know if I want to reward him as my wife?" The ruler said: "If you are guilty, you will be punished, and if you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. This is very fair for my nephew. There are still a few people who have never been rewarded." Summoned Xiong Sheng, Xu Yi, Tang Niu'er, Ji Fu, He He'er, Hua Xin, Fang Ming and others.Fang Ming is on Baishi Island, so he can't arrive immediately.Xiong Sheng and others all came to kowtow.The ruler said: "Xiong Sheng has the power to break the Longjiao village, Xu Yi has the power to recruit Jiushanmen, Jifu and Tang Niu'er have rescued Prime Minister Chai, Brother Yun has the power to return Dao Village, and He He'er should break the common tide. It is clear that there is an achievement in attacking Baishi Island, Huaxin III is loyal and diligent, and it is commendable, and he will be given the position of control." After Gongsun Sheng and others resigned from those marriages, three or four families were selected and sent to Xiong Sheng and others to find a surrogate for marriage. .Brother Yun supports Gongtao's daughter by himself, and orders Suihu Yanyu, Tang Niu'er, and Jifu to work in the prime minister's residence.Hua Xin is old and has resigned from the continuation, the head of the consort's mansion.Fang Ming was at Baishi Island, Xiong Sheng guarded the city gate, Xu Yi led the boat to patrol the sea, and everyone went out to thank each other.It is just that small achievements must be rewarded, and the grace is universal, all praises are made, and everything is justified.

Suddenly there was a report: "King of Koryo came to invite him personally, and he is already close to Qingni Island." The lord of the country sent Tong Wei and Tong Meng to meet him first, and then sent Sun Xin, Cai Qing, Song Qing, and Du Xing to the coast. serve.One day later, the officials over there first handed out the full red paper on Koryo paper, which said: "Zongdi Baodun pays his first respect." Here the detective reported.The lord of the country called for a platoon to drive, and together with Prime Minister Chai Jin, Shaoshi Yanqing, Canzheng Lehe, and Ministry of Officials Pei Xuan went to the Huanghua Pavilion to welcome them in.The Goryeo King Li Mata brought only two ministers, four internal prisons, and five hundred Habayashi soldiers to escort him.When they met each other, they expressed their admiration.The king of Koryo said: "It is a small country in a secluded corner of the sea. It has long invested in the wealth of the elder brother of the old clan. He governs the big country. He is a special pilgrim to Longguang, and he only leads the teachings." In such a small country, I want to respect Queyan many times, but turn to Mongols first, how can I do it!" The two kings walked side by side.Chai Jin and others paid homage together at the Golden Luan Hall, and the King of Koryo hurriedly replied, "Everyone is talented in Yilu, like a thunderbolt. Brother Zong won this good assistant, and he was naturally popular all over the world. If a small country does not have the talent to help the times , I am deeply afraid of falling away." The ruler said: "The Shang Kingdom is the foundation of Jizi, with civilized rituals and music. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, there have been many generations of masters and assistants. These people are all former allies. They helped each other and divided things. "Guanglu Temple arranged a banquet, the water and land were completed, and the sheng and reeds played repeatedly.

During the drinking, King Koryo said: "The small state was named Korea at the beginning, and it was quite self-respecting. It was the Dongfan of the Great Song Dynasty. The king of Japan relied on his strength and invaded from time to time. The former envoy issued an order, and we should be careful. Nai's teeth are aging, Moreover, he is good at illness, and has already passed on his position to a child, fearing that he will be weak and unable to take care of him. The elder brother is powerful overseas, and his civil and military loyalty and goodness have made great achievements in saving his family. Don't give up, brother." The Lord said: "The three islands advocated chaos the day before yesterday, and Ge Peng borrowed troops. The younger brother from the east will rescue from the west, and the elder brother will respond from the east if he hits the west. How dare he continue to abuse him? If he can be accepted as a younger brother, he will have a lot to say." King Gaoli was overjoyed, and the wine was over that night.The next morning, a burner of good incense was lit, and King Li Mata of Koryo and King Li Jun of Siam paid homage to heaven and earth together, and then paid homage to each other.The king of Goryeo was the older brother, and the king of Siam was the younger brother.The ministers of the two countries paid respects to each other.Make an oath to the sky: "Li Yu and Li Junxi have the same surname. The two countries are adjacent to each other and become brothers. They are loyal to the Celestial Dynasty and care for all surnames. If there is foreign aggression, we will defend it vigorously; if there is internal strife, we will urgently eliminate it. Good or bad. , misfortune and good fortune. After the Zimeng, it will always be good. If there is any violation, the sky will hate it." Since then, brothers have called each other.

King Gaoli said: "The day before yesterday, Emperor Meng Daojun sent the imperial doctor An Daoquan to heal my illness. The virtue of regeneration has never been rewarded. I have just been envoys to our country. I am in a state of ignorance, so I don't have time to ask for advice. I want to ask for a doctor again. I don't know if you are here? Li Guozhu said: "An Daoquan was originally gathered in Liangshanbo. He returned to Jin'ao Island because of his elder brother's illness. He was rescued by a hurricane and capsized. The younger brother was rescued and sent to Tokyo. He was scorned by Lu Shiyue. Felony. Fortunately, Taiwei Su rescued him and fled to Dengyun Mountain, where his life was saved. I heard that Taiwei Su said that Lu Shiyue surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, was diagnosed with a wrong disease, and was killed by Han Buli, An Daoquan This breath is vented." The decree announced that An Daoquan came to meet the King of Korea, and thanked him for his generosity the day before yesterday.The king of Gaoli said: "Inheriting Mr.'s magical skills, he can prolong life. It's just that the body is still weak, and I want to find a better prescription." An Daoquan concentrated his thoughts, examined the pulse of King Taisu of Gaoli, and said: "Although your highness is weak, your pulse is weak. It's very clear, it is determined to enjoy the age, and it is also divided into gods and immortals, so it should be presented at the discretion of one party."

King Gaoli said: "The widow has been handed down to the son, and I don't care about general affairs. I just want to worry about cultivation. I heard that there is a Mr. Gongsun with my brother. If I want to see him, can I have a visit?" The king said: "Mr. Gongsun is in Dan Xia Gong is cultivating Taoism, and my younger brother is going to meet him, so it’s not as good as before.” The king of Gaoli was overjoyed, and the two kings walked side by side.Chai Jin and An Daoquan accompanied him.When he arrived at Danxia Mountain, the King of Gaoli was very pleased to see the beautiful scenery of the mountain, and said: "Our country only has turbid waves and stubborn mountains. How can we get this fairy scenery!"When I arrived at the main hall, I first paid homage to Sanqing, Gongsun Sheng and others.King Goryeo said: "How dare you take it when you are about to cast yourself under the door?" After the Jishou ceremony, he received a tea offering from Qiu Taoxuan.Playing around, and climbing to the Haitian Pavilion, seeing thousands of hectares of silver waves and thousands of mountains cutting green, I feel relaxed and happy.The lord of the country said: "I want to discuss with my husband, build an altar of Luotian Dajiao, repay the gods, recommend Song Gongming and other soldiers who died in battle, and don't know when to start the Taoist temple?" Gongsun Sheng ordered Zhu Wu to open the ceremony, and the lord ordered There are managers.49 members of Qiqi were selected to be Taoist Gaozhen to be a seven-day dojo.Gongsun Sheng's main altar is all covered with brocade-crane cloaks and star crowns like bamboo slips. During three dynasties a day, they recite scriptures and cast charms.In front of the hall stood two long banners, on which it was written:

A spirit of uprightness, even with an iron forehead and a bronze head, he will be a loyal minister and a filial son.

At the time of Wan Zhurong, he allowed him to turn the mountain of swords and trees into jade flowers.

The hall is decorated very solemnly.The lord of the country and all the civil and military people fasted and bathed, and worshiped day and night.On the day of consummation, the mother of the country, concubine Wen, the princess, and Mrs. Hua Tai all came to pay homage.Let the people look up to them.At three o'clock, Gongsun Sheng published it sincerely, asking for a response.At that time, there was a bright moon in the sky, there was no cloud in the sky, and the breeze did not move.Suddenly, I heard a loud sound from the Tianmen Gate in the northwest, and thousands of colorful clouds were pushed out.The lord of the country was amazed by everyone.The Zhu Ban Jiang festival flashed across the clouds, and the jade girl and golden boy, Song Gongming and others stood in the clouds.There is another small team behind, but it is the former lord Ma Saizhen.Thousands of eyes see together, bow down together, and leave slowly after time passes.Feeling the piety of the Tao, and the sublime Taoism, everyone is happy to take refuge.Seeing such a response, the king of Gaoli called the internal supervisor to prepare the Zheyi, and worshiped Gongsun Sheng as his teacher.The leader of another country said: "It is an honor to inherit my brother's steadfastness and to be able to connect the genealogy. Now I am returning to Xiaobang to watch the children take care of the state affairs. When I am ready, I will go to Danxia Palace to become a monk in the next spring." He also set up a banquet to leave the money, and ordered Tong Wei and Tong Meng to send it to Jiekou and return it.Nothing has happened since.

I don't realize that the spring is coming back, and the Shangyuan is coming.The lord of the country sent an order to invite the four islands of Jin'ao, the generals of Qingshui'ao and Chinese Wuqing to enjoy the Lantern Festival. Three Aoshan Mountains were built, one in front of the Jinluan Palace, one under the Chaojing Tower, and one in the palace. Lanterns were widely displayed to have fun with the people.Set up three big taverns, and the household department will provide money and food, and prepare wine and food. From the thirteenth night to the fifteenth night, it will be three days like the Tang Dynasty. Eat wine, don't know money.The relatives of Gongqing's house all entered the palace gate to accompany the mother of the country, and admired the lanterns in the palace. Concubine Wen was the leader, and sister-in-law Gu was in charge.Songs and music, fireworks and firecrackers, all night long.Guards were set up in front of the gate of the court, and the lord of the country, together with Prime Minister Chai Jin and the following civil and military officials, went to the banquet in the court building.Lehe hollowed out the two fish beads that Hua Fengchun shot the whale to death when he first went out to sea, and lit candles, and they were like two crystal balls as big as Ba Dou, shining silver, no one could guess it, it was a spectacle.Gongsun Sheng and others also arrived.The king is sitting, and the remaining 42 people are seated in order.The king raised his glass and said: "Thanks to the protection of the emperor, the grace of the court, and the support of all the brothers, this great event was made possible. Thinking about looking at the lantern in Changzhou, but was taken by Lu Taishou, brother Le was rescued by tricks, and he is honored overseas. As the saying goes: "It's not a bit of cold, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms." Now that it is the Yuan Festival, it is necessary to celebrate, but it is not appropriate to be wild. Once a year, I will have a happy relationship with all my brothers." After drinking half drunk, Drink the music and live.The ruler of the country said: "Although I am vulgar, I am elegant and fond of writing and ink. Tonight's collection, I must have poems to commemorate its prosperity. I remember Chongyang appreciation of chrysanthemums. Song Gongming had a "Manjianghong". If it is just a big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine, it will still be the story of Liangshan Po. If you can’t, you will be fined according to the amount of golden grain wine. I will punish you first.” Call the waiter to pour three big rhinoceros to eat, take the four treasures of the study, and put them on the idle table.give way to each other.Prime Minister Chai Jin wiped the paper, chanted a poem and presented it:
The weather is majestic and the style of the country is great, and the Lantern Festival is enjoyable.

The golden back of the ice wheel gushes out, and it will shine for thousands of years.

All the lords of the country looked at it and praised: "The weather of the Taige Pavilion, Yan Xu's handwriting, can predict the future career." Wen Huanzhang said:

The willow twigs and the snow are blowing in the east wind, and the moon and the moon are in the same place.

The holy world must promote rites and music, edify and nurture Piyongzhong.

Chai Jindao: "The master of Zuwei teaches his sons to cultivate talents and be elegant." Xiao Rang sang the wine into a poem:
The origin of Taishi is to adopt the national style, and Gengge is the same as Shunting.

On the Lantern Festival night with thousands of flowers and bright moon, the emperor and his ministers are in a good mood to drink wine.

Wen Huanzhang said: "It's so good that the emperor and his ministers are in a good mood with a glass of wine". It's really prosperous and bright."
The young man wanders like the wind, remembering the same night in Tokyo.

It's hard for a confidant, monarch and minister to shake their sleeves, and the moon is full of smoke and moon in the five lakes.

Le He said: "Master Yan wants to go boating on the five lakes, and Miss Lu is here as a beautician. It's just that the king can enjoy the same happiness." Jiang Jing held a plan in his hand, stopped for a while, and wrote a poem:

There is no strong wind in the clear waves of Yinghai, and the autumn moon in Dongting is generally the same.

Shengge is full of joy and feast, and it is reflected in the silver flower and green wine.

Yan Qing said: "The autumn moon in Dongting is one of the eight scenic spots in Xiaoxiang. It can be seen that it is from Tanzhou." Song Anping said in a word:
Wuhua Tianbao moves the wind, and it is the same as Xiaoshao Xianyuan.

When the imperial edict was announced to Yutang, two torches of golden lotus fell into the plum.

Pei Xuandao: "Song Xueshi's poem is of course Hanyuan fairy class, and it cannot be moved." Hua Fengchun drafted the brocade paper without hesitation and said:
Ten miles of Jade Street - Xiangfeng, Changxi Lantern Festival is the same.

Walking horses go up in the middle of the night, and the silk whip points to the wind tower.

Everyone praised: "There are very few works that the son-in-law should teach in ancient times, and Mr. Hua's poem is called the swan song." Yanqing asked Chai Jin again: "Prime Minister Chai, you were Fangla's son-in-law. Did you ever write poems at that time?" The seats clapped their hands and laughed.Gongsun Shengdao: "The poor Taoist doesn't know how to recite poems, so let's sing a Taoist sentiment." Beating the simple board of the fishing drum, he sang "Moon on the West River" and said:

Looking back, the wind and dust are far away, and all worries are forgotten.Fame and wealth are busy in an instant, just like revolving around.Intoxicated with three glasses of fine wine, a pillow of white clouds is refreshing.Penglai Langyuan can soar and cross the flood and weak waves early.

The lord of the country was overjoyed, and poured a big toast at the banquet.Ruan Xiaoqi said: "The lord's order, those who can't write poems will be punished with three cups. I can't even read the words, so I should drink six cups!" Everyone laughed.

The children of Liyuan submitted the manuscript to the court.Chai Jin turned a few pages, saw "Water Margin", and asked what kind of story it was.The pair said at the end: "This is the source of Qiantui and the masters. It is Zhou Meicheng who learned the lyrics." The king said: "Is there any drama in what we do? Let's play him." Li Yuan said: "I'm afraid of the inside If there is any inconvenience, the little ones don’t dare.” The ruler said: “Why not? You don’t see Guan Shengdijun traveling thousands of miles alone, killing six generals in five passes, often pretending, don’t be shy, do it as much as you want.” Go down the pear garden, make trouble After entering the three-way field, first the official scarf round collar, Song Gongming appeared on the stage, and when he outwitted the birthday bar, Ruan Xiaoqi unknowingly gesticulated: "After Song Gongming came back, he killed Yan Poxi in anger." The king clapped the case and said: "That woman should be killed!" Dai Zongdao said, "I was already dead at that time, but I still have today." Hu Yanzhuo said, "If there is no Xu How can you break the chain of horses when you go up the mountain?" The gongs and drums rang sky-high, and the black whirlwind raged in Tokyo, Xu Sheng said, "Is this Mr. Li from the West Lake?" Le He laughed and said, "Do you still remember pouring tea on your robe? " Slowly until Yanqing was fighting in the ring, the king said: "Young master was still handy at that time." Until Song Gongming returned home in fine clothes, Chai Jin said: "Thanks to him, he did everything! In retrospect, it is really a dream. Whoever connects the back copy, we will enjoy the Lantern Festival together today, and we will have a great reunion." It was just because Huan Yu felt that the night was short, and the chickens were already crowing all over the field, so they withdrew their seats and returned to the palace.For three nights in a row, everyone thanked each other and left.

Since then, the country has been prosperous and the people are safe, the weather has been smooth, the grain has been plentiful, and the people have been prosperous. It really has brought peace to the world.The next year, the king gave birth to a son. Because of Xu Shenweng's words, if he wanted to relieve his burden, he had to wait for Deng to come, so he was named Li Deng.Most of the public officials have children, and they marry each other, and they send officials to the court every year.Sure enough, the king of Koryo changed his Taoist makeup, took only two eunuchs and two traveling boys, and went to Danxia Palace to practice Taoism. He lived to eighty and died without any illness.All the ministers enjoy their senior years.Only Gongsun Sheng was 120 years old, and his body was dissected.The prince uses Song Anping as his chancellor, Hua Fengchun, Hu Yanyu, and Xu Sheng as his generals, and the sons of Gongqing as his ministers.Li Teng's benevolence and integrity have been handed down for several generations. He shared the end of the Southern Song Dynasty with the end of the country. There are two poems in later generations sighing:

Confucianists talk about the profound rituals and music, and the luck of the Song Dynasty was pure yin.

Not because of the strong and dirty history, the majestic appearance of the green forest.

Serving the country is full of courage, and friendship for thousands of years is only about the heart.

He continued the hero spectrum for no reason, and couldn't help being drunk.

Second:

The small official in Yuncheng is very ambitious, and the marquis of bones is also pitiful.

Before the end of life and death, I suddenly believed, boasting about wealth and not donating to each other.

There have been many things in ancient times, and the world is like a king and a virtuous person.

Sima's sentiments become a historical record, a piece of knight-errant is the most popular
