Chapter 77 Reputation
It was night, and Song Qing decided to stay in the Jeju government office.
Two more days will be the Spring Festival that Chinese people value most. Song Qing doesn't want to go back to the mountain with blood. He is also going to be a father, and some things have to be superstitious.
Song Qing has always been very good at the operation of local officials, so in the afternoon, he called officials at all levels in Jeju to question them to enhance his experience in this regard.
In the evening, he invited some of the big vendors in the city to the most luxurious restaurant in the city and held a New Year's tea party.
Businessmen are pursuing profits, and no matter the current and future development of Liangshan, they are inseparable from these businessmen. You can't go there and grab it as before, can you?
Although the bloody battle that took place on the streets of Jeju in the morning was controlled as much as possible, the news still spread in the city like the wind.
These businessmen are rich and have many slaves, so they know the fastest news. When they received Song Qing's invitation, they couldn't help but be frightened. They didn't know what the Liangshan thief was going to do? Isn't it to detain everyone and then ask for a ransom? He didn't want to come, but he didn't dare. In the end, he came tremblingly.
To everyone's surprise, Song Qing dressed up as a prince and looked friendly. Judging from his appearance alone, it was difficult to associate him with bandits. And there was no difficulty for everyone. After the banquet began, they also talked and laughed, and took the initiative to bring the banquet into **. I confused these businessmen. What on earth is this boy going to do with us?
As the banquet continued, the merchants gradually relieved, and some even took the initiative to get close to Song Qing and chat about their feelings.
Song Qing's purpose is to completely eliminate Liang Shan's image of thieves and bandits in these people's hearts.
The banquet in the restaurant is continuing, and the snowflakes outside the building are also falling.
It is said that auspicious snow promises a bumper harvest, but in this season, even if there is no snow, it will be the same ice and snow, and the same silver.
Upper Beijing, the Imperial Palace.
Wanyan Agu, the founding emperor of Dajin, stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands and watched the snowflakes falling in the courtyard. His thoughts flew over, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't move for a long time.
Wanyan Aguda is now 54 years old. The knife-like wind and frost of the northern country has made his unhandsome face full of vicissitudes. His burly figure seems to be still powerful and majestic, but the long war has already scarred his body.
The legendary life, coupled with the usual killing, has already trained his mind like iron, and there is almost nothing that can affect his mood. But he has indeed had one more thing on his mind recently.
The former great Liao Empire, now has only survived under his continuous blows. Emperor Tianzuo is just a homeless dog. It won't be long before he will be trampled under his feet.
So Liao can no longer be called a great trouble.
Not to mention Song Guo. Although Wanyan Aguda used Han ministers very much and liked Han culture very much, he despised the Song Dynasty from the bottom of his heart. He can't even beat the dog that was beaten by himself. Such a country doesn't deserve to be his opponent, and it's not worth his too much attention.
The only thing that can really bother him is the question of who will inherit the throne after his death. Now he has even begun to regret it. Why didn't he adopt the system of establishing a prince by the Han people at the beginning? He doesn't have to worry so much.
Although several sons have military power, several brothers also hold heavy soldiers. According to the system of Jurchens, the crown prince has already had a candidate. Although it has not been final decided, the future throne is obviously still some distance away from his sons, and those brothers also have the ability and power to fight for it.
Compason, of course, the son still ranks first. And if this matter is caused by the civil strife, the country he has worked hard to fight down is likely to become the same as the lingering Liao country in the near future. In that case, he would rather pass the throne to his brother.
So this matter must be solved while you are alive.
Suddenly, a waiter came to report, and Wu, who was extremely virtuous, begged to see him.
Wu Qimai is the fourth brother of Agu, who is the current crown prince in the custom of Jurjin. He is very similar to Agu. Before Aguda became emperor, the relationship between the two brothers was also very good. He is extremely resourceful. When he leads the army, he usually entrusts state affairs to him.
It's snowing so heavily outside, and it's New Year's Day again. Wu Qimai can't stay at home. What should he do in the palace?
The doubt returned to doubt, and A Guda still ordered to pass it on.
Not long, Wu Qimai came to the palace where Aguda was located under the guidance of the servant.
Seeing Wu Qimai's appearance, A Gu was shocked. He didn't know when he had a bright red mark on Wu Qimai's face. It seemed that he should have been whipped.
Who dares to fight fiercely in the current dynasty? As soon as Agu was about to get angry, he immediately remembered that there was a shrew among Wu Qi's buyers, and immediately his fire went down.
This brother is good at everything, but he is afraid of his wife, and he is also a Han woman. However, Wu Qimai still has a deep affection for this woman and refuses to remarry, which makes him almost laughing at Dajin.
He suppressed his smile and said, "Is there anything that can't be said after New Year's Day? Do you still run out in this weather? What's wrong with you? Let your sister-in-law do this to you?"
Wu Qimai was also used to the eyes of everyone, and he knew that his wife did not really mean to slap him.
He bowed and said, "Wanyan has captured Zhongjing, and Emperor Liao has fled into Jiashan. At present, the army is stationed in Zezhou, and Wanyan asked His Majesty whether to take advantage of the victory and pursue it or continue to attack Liaoning at the beginning of next spring."
This request is a little superfluous, and soldiers also want to celebrate the New Year! Besides, it is quite difficult for Wanyan to achieve such a result in this ice and snow. However, at the beginning of the establishment of the State of Jin, the military discipline is strict. If you don't withdraw or withdraw without asking for instructions, you will lose your head.
Of course, A Guda understands the tricks in this. Although the soldiers are fast, the Liao army has not been able to organize any decent counterattacks. If it forces the front-line soldiers too much, it is likely to be counterproductive.
After meditating for a while, he said, "After passing the decree, the people and horses will be stationed on the spot. When will I send troops to him?"
Wu Qimai waited for Aguda's instructions and turned around to leave. Aguda finally couldn't help it.
"You are also a member of the imperial court. Aren't you afraid of losing your official body?"
Wu Qimai bowed and saluted, "It bothered your majesty. In fact, Ah Juan didn't mean it, and I was my fault in this matter first. I shouldn't have set up a marriage for Ke'er without her consent."
This Han woman named Ajuan is actually a continuation of Wu Qi's purchase. I heard that she has good martial arts skills, otherwise she can also clean up Wu Qimai so obediently.
A Guda didn't want to take care of his brother's family's business. Hearing that his brother had made a marriage to his niece, he couldn't help asking, "Have you made a marriage to Ke'er?" How old is she? Why did you suddenly have this idea?"
Agu has a lot of sons, but few daughters. He watched him grow up, so he has always been very concerned.
Speaking of his daughter, Wu Qimai finally smiled bitterly and said, "Six months ago, Baokang, the grandson of Brother Wang, took her to the Central Plains. I heard that Baokang was originally going to go to Bianliang in the Song Dynasty, but somehow he ran to Liangshan and was seriously injured, but he also brought back from injury."
"After the girl came back to recover from her injury, she bought the bodyguards with strong martial arts skills everywhere at a high price. Originally, I thought she was going to send someone to avenge her, so I didn't stop her. Later, Baokang told me that the girl seemed to be looking at Liangshan's thief named Song Qing. She sent someone not to kill the boy named Song, but to catch him back."
she sighed and said, "This girl is spoiled by me. As soon as I said a few words to her, she was about to run away from home. I told her about the marriage in anger, but as you know, she didn't agree with her, and finally shocked Ajuan."
Although Ajuan was Ke'er's stepmother, she regarded Ke'er as the same. Ke'er was wronged. Without saying a word, she picked up the whip and rushed to Wu Qi to buy it. Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise I'm afraid he wouldn't have been whipped.
Wu Qi bought this snowy day and came to the palace without the idea of avoiding the disaster.
"Song Qing?"
Agu meditated several times, but it was not that the name was special, but that he seemed to have heard someone mention it.
After thinking for a while, I finally remembered that Liang Shan and Song Qing were the bandits who defeated the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty several times? I heard that this boy is very good, but no matter how good he is, he is nothing more than a bandit. How can he match our beautiful daughter?
He appeased Wu Qi to buy a few words and expressed his thoughts, that is, he resolutely unable to agree to find a Central Plains person. If there is a suitable one, he might as well settle the marriage first and wait for Ke'er to get married when he is two years old.
A Guda's words were the imperial edict, and Wu Qimai left happily.
Wanyan Keer is as beautiful as a flower and has a noble status. People who go to Wu beg to buy relatives are about to break the threshold of their families, but this girl's eyes have always been higher than the top, and she doesn't care about the nobles who come to ask for marriage at all. How can she like a bandit leader in the Central Plains?
What kind of person is this Song Qing?
A Guda couldn't help but be a little interested in this bandit leader.
Of course, Song Qing didn't know that there were still people thinking about him thousands of miles away. He came back from the restaurant and was about to rest with a little sleepiness. The bodyguard suddenly came to report that a businessman surnamed Ma wanted to see him.
Song Qing talked to officials and invited businessmen to drink, which was nothing more than to change Liang Shan's impression in their minds, and he did not expect the immediate effect.
If you don't want to see it, I'm afraid that your performance just now will be in vain. Tell someone to invite him in. If it's not a big deal, you have to spank him.
The person is of medium height, his face is a little dark, and he is not outstanding. He belongs to the kind that can't be found when thrown into the crowd. No wonder Song Qing didn't pay attention to him just now.
However, when we met again, this man's narrow eyes left a deep impression on Song Qing.
"I have seen the leader of Song in Ma Tao"
Ma Tao had a good look. Seeing that Song Qing couldn't help looking at himself, he immediately introduced himself.
"Mr. Ma visited late at night. What can I do for you?"
Please ask Ma Tao to sit down, and Song Qing asked directly.
Ma Tao hugged his fist and smiled and said, "I'm a businessman, and businessmen are not profitable, so of course, I'm looking for a leader to do business."
Do you want to do business with me? Song Qing couldn't help re-examine this person.
