Chapter 65 morality first
Emperor Huizong did kill Song Qing, and he didn't know why he suddenly had this feeling.
The election official of the Song Dynasty, with the first emphasis on appearance.
Song Qing's long thin skin and tender meat is dignified, although I dare not say that people love it! But it's not the kind that you want to swap a knife at first sight.
However, the old emperor has this idea now. Even he couldn't figure out where this idea came from.
Killing is invisible, but it can still be felt by people who are particularly sensitive to the senses.
Even Liang Shicheng felt it, but now the doubt in his heart overshadowed the joy and kept thinking that the old ghost would not really take the wrong medicine today, right?
Song Qing also felt that the old emperor suddenly burst into a murderous spirit after seeing him, and his heart was going to be bad. Does the old emperor really want to kill me?
The emperor doesn't need any excuse to kill people at all, not to mention bandits like Song Qing who have always been disobeding the court, but how can Song Qing be willing to die?
Song Qing didn't want to die, and the old emperor was also fighting ideologically at this time. Liangshan is close to the capital. If Song Qing is really killed, it is bound to provoke Liangshan. Liangshan's thieves have been fighting for many years and defeat the imperial army. If they really come, who can stop it? Besides, how much money will it cost? It hurts to think about it.
Why not do it to hold up the Song brothers, which can help the court solve the immediate crisis and help themselves draw money? But for this boy, why do I always have an impulse to kill him?
The old emperor's face was uncertain, but Song Qing saw the opportunity.
He knelt on the ground respectfully and said, "Your Majesty said that the foreign minister is guilty, and the foreign minister must be guilty. However, before confessing his guilt, the foreign minister must first thank your majesty for his mercy. My brother has long had the intention to serve the court. Now he has received your majesty's deep grace and enjoys high officials. I believe that my brother will live up to your majesty's expectations, be loyal to your majesty and loyal to My Song Dynasty
If you want to kill me, you have to weigh your own weight and think about the consequences of killing me, right? I, Liangshan, have more than 100,000 brothers who have nothing to do!
What has happened in history has best proved the character of the two emperors of Hui and Qin. That's a typical bullying and fear of the strong. If everything follows him, he will definitely kick his nose. On the other hand, if they are beaten and hurt, they will change into the most obedient rabbits.
So you have to beat these two from time to time.
Song Qing's words were talking about the pain of the old emperor. After the killing just now flashed in his heart, he returned to his original idea. Just now, he just learned from Liang Shicheng and wanted to give Song Qing a majesty and make him obedient. How can a gold owner like Song Qing kill? Besides, there are still many things to rely on Liangshan to do!
Of course, I still need to find the ground. I turned my head and said to Liang Shicheng with a gloomy face, "Why do I think someone is going to frame Song Aiqing? Go and investigate it thoroughly. Don't let my Aiqing suffer any grievances. Come here, first untie Song Qing."
What's the check! It's all bullshit.
Liang Shicheng sighed secretly, answered helplessly, waved back the sergeants, and left in dismay.
After driving away Liang Shicheng, the old emperor changed his expression and said pleasantly, "Song Aiqing, I know your brother's loyalty. I hope your brother will continue to work hard and make new achievements for the court. I will not hesitate to reward him."
Song Qingzheng moved his tied and painful arm and immediately saluted: "Your Majesty, I will live up to your expectations and swear to be loyal to your majesty"
The old emperor nodded and then talked to Song Qing about the customs of Liangshan and the situation of Liangshan.
Fooling people is Song Qing's strength. What's more, it's about life and death, so why don't you try your best? He catered to the old emperor just right, and praised the emperor Shengming from time to time. Later, Song Qing's words to himself were a little numb.
For a moment, the king and minister laughed and talked happily, and there was a peaceful atmosphere in the hall, as if what had just happened was not here, but someone was dazzled or had a dream.
If Liang Shicheng saw this scene, he must also think that he was dreaming.
"Song Aiqing! I'm going to give it to your brother again, and no one else is qualified for the task."
"Your Majesty, please tell me to go up to the mountain of knives and the sea of fire, and the Weichen brothers will never frown."
"Liang Shan's soldiers are strong and horses are strong. After all, staying in the mountains is not a long-term plan. For example, today's court is using troops against Liao, which is also a good time for your brother to make contributions. I don't know if Song Qing's family is willing to lead soldiers to go there?"
"It is my responsibility to fight against foreign abtion. Your Majesty, please give me an order! I am willing to immediately return to the mountains to gather people and send troops to Liao, and never give up until I set foot in Youzhou."
"I will give another order to your brother about mobilization. Go back and prepare for it and go directly to King Kang on the front line!"
Old guy, you are afraid that I won't come out when I go back to Liangshan, so you asked me to go directly to the front line, so Song Jiang had to send troops. Who said that the old emperor only knew how to cultivate immortals and didn't care about anything? Isn't this very thieves?
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will go back to prepare for it, and I will never miss your majesty's major event"
Song Qing thought that the conversation with the old emperor was over, but he didn't expect that the old emperor had no intention of letting him go at all.
"Alas!"
For some reason, the old emperor suddenly sighed.
"Is your majesty worried? I am willing to share your majesty's worries." Song Qing's curiosity was aroused.
"I'm really lucky to have a loyal minister like Song Qing! In fact, I don't have anything on my mind. I just think of the military money you donated to the court, and suddenly I feel it."
"The world is in chaos, disasters are continuous, and the border is not peaceful. The imperial court is really a little overwhelmed. The people are suffering! If all the subjects in the world can think about the court like Song Qing's family, I won't be so worried."
Song Qing understands. Speaking of which, this old guy still wants silver! Ha ha! The play is good. If I don't know that you play immortality every day and spend money like water, you may have been cheated. Have you ever been worried about the people all over the world? The sun came out from the west, right?
The brothers outside are waiting in a hurry. I don't have time to ink with you. Let's just draw a bigger cake for you!
pretended to meditate for a moment, and then said to the old emperor who looked at him resolutely: "It is my responsibility to share the worries of your majesty. Weichen has just thought that there is still a large amount of gold and silver in the cottage. If the army goes to the front line, it is bound to take them all away. It's better to donate them all to your majesty and arrange it by your majesty and take all my brothers as your majesty. Be loyal"
"Haha! Well, it is worthy of being my humerus minister. On the day you return from your family's achievements, I will definitely greatly reward your brother. Let's see who dares to say that I treat you well."
I'm so fucking tired! Wouldn't you have said that you wanted all Liangshan's property? As for the effort? I don't know what to say next. When did I say so many flattering words?
Song Qing couldn't help sweating secretly. He was no longer in the mood to despise the old emperor, and it was true that he slipped away quickly.
That's all, the old emperor's purpose has been achieved, and he has lost his interest in talking to Song Qing. Ask Song Qing to go back to his house and wait, and further orders will be sent soon.
Song Qing took a long breath and immediately said goodbye to the emperor.
The old emperor smiled as a reply to Song Qing, and then closed his eyes and settled down. As for the real thoughts in his heart, I'm afraid only he knows.
Unexpectedly, Song Qing came all the way out of the palace and never met Liang Shicheng again. I don't know whether the old eunuch was really busy or hiding from him.
Out of the palace, the sky is getting dark. Dou Niang, Hammer and others were indeed a little anxious. This was not the place to talk. Song Qing took the crowd to hit the horse in the direction of the residence.
Although the old emperor made officials and wishes to him and Song Jiang, he did not immediately relax his monitoring, and a team of protected imperial troops always followed him.
As he walked, Song Qing softly asked Dou Niang about the brothers. As he thought, if it hadn't been for Dou Niang's timely return to comfort, he would not have seen Song Qing's Liangshan heroes make a mess in the capital.
Now only Yang Zhi and more than a dozen brothers are waiting in the residence, and the others have been scattered everywhere. Once the signal of retreat is sent, they will walk separately and meet Song Qing outside the city.
The escape route secretly determined by Song Qing and Zhang Shun is the only way back to their residence from the palace, where there is a bridge across the Bian River, near the Song Gate, which intersects the inner city and the outer city. Therefore, as long as there is a chaos that makes people mistakenly think that Song Qing escaped from Song Gate, and he jumps to the river to pick up the ship, Zhang Shun and others can send Song Qing out of the city in the shortest time.
There is no problem with the plan, but Song Qing walked and suddenly remembered a very serious question.
The matter of himself defecting to the court has been known all over the world. No matter what the purpose is, the old emperor and his son have also treated him and Song Jiang well, and have been given to the house, and this matter will definitely spread.
If you suddenly run away at this time, what will the world think of you? Leaving aside others, the imperial court will take the lead in public opinion.
The court has a favor to your brother. Your brother is capricious and ambitious, and is dedicated to betraying the court.
In this way, morality will stand on the side of the court.
Don't underestimate morality, just as public opinion in later generations can kill people. In this era, if you lose morality, you will definitely lose the hearts of the world.
I'm leaving soon. How can I think of this?
Song Qing couldn't help blaming himself for being young and shallow, and some things were taken for granted.
What should I do? Go or not? At the critical moment, Song Qing hesitated for the first time.
Dou Niang beside her saw Song Qing's uncertain face, so she couldn't help taking a few steps to Song Qing's side and reached out to hold Song Qing's hand.
When Song Qingzheng was in a trance, he suddenly felt a soft little hand holding his hand. Of course, he could feel that this was Dou Niang's hand, but at this time, he was really not in the mood to be warm.
turned his head and smiled, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.
The afterglow of his eyes swept over the officers and soldiers behind him, and a flash of light suddenly appeared in his mind, and a bold idea surged into his mind.
