Chapter 70 New Era
Song Jiang is dead.
Although Song Jiang was also poisoned in the Water Margin, the meaning of dying together in Liangshan and beside the brothers has been completely different.
Song Jiang has led Liang Shan for several years and has treated the people's sergeants very well and has a high reputation among ordinary people. Hearing this news, many people couldn't help crying. For a moment, Liangshan's mournful voice shocked the sky.
Song Qing wore hemp and filial piety, and personally helped the coffin to bury Song Jiang. All the leaders and soldiers also wore filial cloth, the shops were closed, the restaurants were closed, and all entertainment activities were cancelled to show their condolences to Song Jiang.
On the left side of the hall dedicated to the spiritual throne of Chaotian King, the original office building of Song Jiang was converted into a place dedicated to the spiritual throne of Song Jiang.
When writing Song Jiang's tablet, Song Qing was a little difficult. According to his idea, Chao Gai was called the king, and Song Jiang should also be called the king. However, considering that Song Jiang was not called the king before his death, and no one gave him the title of prince, he finally wrote the position of "Tiankui Xinghu Baoyi Song Jiang".
Gongsun Sheng took a group of apprentices and grandchildren to do seventy-49 days of magic work for Song Jiang, and the funeral was over.
The death of Song Jiang marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new era. That was the era of Song Qing.
Song Qing is obviously thin, but he is more calm. He has the temperament of a generation of masters. Many Liangshan heroes who used to laugh and fight with him will involuntarily send a sense of awe from the bottom of their hearts when they see him.
Although Song Qing still has the identity of acting brother, no one mentioned this matter anymore. Even Li Ying, who has always despised Song Qing, obediently shut up this time.
Everyone knows that it is natural for Song Qing to rise to power. If you talk too much, it will not be far from death.
Sun Erniang and his wife, who rushed back to the mountains to mourn, brought back the news of the capital after Song Qing left.
With the successful operation of Sun Erniang, the capital has been full of rumors. Everyone knows that the court sent someone to kill Song Qing. The angry old emperor killed many people to vent his anger, but of course, nothing could be found out.
At this time, Sun Erniang followed Song Qing's instructions when he left and threw out a second rumor. Song Qing was hunted down and fell into the water and was lucky not dead, and now he has fled back to Liangshan.
The rumor spread into the palace, and the emperor and his son will also be skeptical. They heard that envoys have been sent to Liangshan.
After listening to the return of Sun Erniang and his wife, Song Qing was very satisfied and praised the couple's ability. At the same time, he told them that the capital must continue to be retained for future needs.
Song Qing is the new owner of the village and can be praised by him. The couple is very happy and has been ordered.
Today is the day of the completion of the hall dedicated to Song Jiang. After Song Qing led the heroes to worship, Song Jiang's tablet was included. Offer offerings and lighting incense.
Looking at Song Jiang's card, Song Qing didn't say a word for a long time. Tears have already dried up, and there is no need to say any more vows. He will prove that he will do better than Song Jiang with practical actions.
Song Qing thought about Song Jiang's life and the ending of Song Jiang in the novel. Song Qing felt that this ending was undoubtedly more suitable for Song Jiang. At least he would not be scolded by future generations.
"My condolences, brothers are waiting!" It is Wu Yong who is talking.
The Liang Shan military division, who was hanged in front of Song Jiang's grave in the original novel, is still standing in front of him alive and has no intention of dying with Song Jiang at all.
Song Qing knows that this is the real human nature, living and dying together, but it's just saying that whoever takes it seriously is a fool.
Seeing Song Qing's eyes were a little strange, Wu Yong couldn't help but feel depressed. Although he did not oppose Song Qing in the past, he did not fully support him. Is Song Erlang looking for a back account?
Song Qing's heart is not so narrow. He just sighed at human nature. Of course, he knows what the brothers are waiting for him to do, that is to justify his name. From then on, he is no longer an agent, but the real owner of Liangshan.
There are two tiger-skin chairs in the middle of Zhongyi Hall, one of which is Song Jiang's. As long as Song Qing is in charge of Liangshan for a day, that chair will always exist.
Another smaller chair is placed at the bottom.
The heroes were separated solemnly, and the Zhongyi Hall was rebuilt in the Songjiang era, so more than 100 people did not feel crowded at all.
Song Qing stood in the front and did not sit down immediately. As a result, everyone knew, but the scene still had to leave.
This time, Gongsun Sheng and other three people did not speak first, and Pei Xuan stepped out first.
He said loudly: "Since ancient times, the son inherited his father's business, but Brother Gongming has no descendants, so he should be the last brother. Erlang has a good character, outstanding ability, and is also the brother of Gongming's brother, so Liangshan should be taken over by Erlang. Pei Xuan is brave and respectfully invites Erlang to sit in the first chair in Liangshan"
After Pei Xuan, the heroes said in unison, "Please invite Erlang to take office"
The heroes were all martial artists, and their voices were thick, as if they had been rehearsed. They shouted out together, shaking the roof tiles and spread out from afar.
Song Qing still did not move and hugged everyone and said, "The brothers are very grateful. Erlang is very grateful. If Erlang refuses again, he is afraid that he will hurt his brothers' hearts, but Erlang still has a few words to say. If the brothers can agree, Erlang will sit in this position. If he doesn't agree, the brothers will choose another virtuous ability!"
Pian said: "From now on, Erlang's words are my Liangshan's decree. If anyone disobeys and has his own laws and sanctions, Erlang doesn't need to worry."
The heroes nodded in agreement.
Song Qing shook his head and said, "It's better to say some words first, lest someone say that I am not affectionate in the future."
What on earth does Erlang want to say? Make it so serious. The curiosity of the heroes was aroused.
Seeing that the heroes no longer objected to his words, Song Qinglang said in a voice, "I, Liangshan, a good man, kill the rich to help the poor and walk for heaven. There are many brave and ruthless people. This is an advantage on the battlefield. If it is the same, it is bound to affect the unity and reputation of Liangshan, so what I want to say is that from now on, everyone must follow the order, not make orders without authorization, let alone do anything that damages Liangshan's reputation."
Song Qing knew that his prestige could not be compared with Song Jiang, and he could not control Liang Shan and these revering people based on his feelings alone. So the first thing to do is to let Liangshan Qunxiong know the importance of discipline. The practice of Shi Xiu in the capital is absolutely not allowed to happen again.
"Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and Liangshan is also in an eventful time. All brothers must make up their minds and never be allowed to form a party for personal gain, face to face and one behind."
"The above two points are what I want to say. If the brothers agree, Erlang will sit in that position with a shy face."
Lu Zhishen dodged and stood up, shook his huge head, and shouted, "The sprinkler first. After drinking a few cups of cat urine, he likes to find someone to fight. From now on, the sprinkler has changed this problem. If he does it again, Erlang will cut off the sprinkler's head. Is there anything else you disagree with?"
Who would disagree? In particular, several generals who surrendered from the court have all led the regular army and are well aware of the importance of discipline.
As for the second point said by Song Qing, many people know that it refers to something.
After Lu Zhishen made a statement, the heroes also spoke one after another, saying that they were absolutely obedient to Song Qing's leadership. At the same time, Pei Xuan was asked to act as the general protection of the law to supervise the law-abiding of the leaders.
Song Qing then sat in a chair to receive the worship of the heroes and officially became the lord of Liangshan.
Song Qing finally became the head of the family, but there was not much joy in his heart. Liangshan is complicated. Song Jiang has been lying in bed for many days. Song Qing has been busy since he came back and has accumulated a lot of things that have not been dealt with.
The number of sergeants and family members of Liangshan are increasing day by day. If they are always trapped in Liangshan, there will be chaos sooner or later. Therefore, it has become urgent to develop a new living space. This involves fighting with soldiers. Although Liangshan is invincible, Song Qing knows more about the principle that proud soldiers will be defeated. We must be cautious, cautious and more cautious.
Then there is Liangshan's system problem. The phenomenon of small gangs in the cottage is serious. There are many sergeants who only know their little leader but do not know the military order, and the style of bandits is common, etc. These problems have to be rectified, and he forced the heroes to make a statement, which is to lay the groundwork for the upcoming restructuring.
Song Jiang's funeral period has passed, and his previous life has been restored in the cottage.
Today is the big day of Song Qing, how can there be no wine? Cao Zheng, who replaced Zhu Fu, ordered the wine and vegetables that had been prepared for a long time.
Song Qing sacrificed Song Jiang first, and then drank with the heroes. Although he is afraid of drinking with the heroes, in today's situation, even if he drinks it, he will pour the wine into his stomach.
I don't know how much he drank, Song Qing was finally poured down by the excited Liangshan heroes and was carried into the back house.
In a trance, Song Qing felt that he had been stripped of his clothes. After his whole body was wiped, he changed into another set, and then he didn't know anything.
While Liangshan celebrated the rise of Song Qing, there was another scene in the palace of Bianliang, Tokyo.
Zhao was defeated. This time, he was not defeated, but was actually defeated by the Liao army. Originally, I wanted to beat the water dog, but I didn't expect to be bitten back by the water dog, and more than 100,000 people came back with less than three floors.
Zhao Gu ran very fast, but he did not dare to return to Beijing. On the one hand, the cat pleaded to his father in Zhending Mansion and made up a lot of reasons for failure.
The old emperor, who was so angry about Song Qing's incident, received the news that he was so angry that he almost lost his anger. If Zhao Gu is not his son, he may immediately order him to behead him on the spot. You can't kill your son, and there are others! It was decreed that Tong Guan and Cai You were removed from their jobs and brought to Beijing to be punished.
The dream of recovering Yan Yun and surpassing his ancestors was shattered. The old emperor was on fire. The person sent to Liangshan to inquire about the news came back. Song Qing was indeed still alive and took Song Jiang to take the first seat in Liangshan.
Hearing this news, no matter how stupid the old emperor and Zhao Huan were, they knew that they had been fooled by Song Qing.
The old emperor, who was ashamed and angry, did not come up and almost died. After waking up, he immediately summoned the Minister of Culture and Martial Arts to discuss the expedition to Liangshan.
He was defeated by Liang Shan and lost his soldiers. If he didn't kill Song Qing, it would be really difficult to dispel this anger.
Zhao Huan knew that Liang Shan couldn't fight, but he didn't dare to say anything, because he gave Song Qing's idea to Fengguan. In case his father couldn't get along, he would be angry with him.
The civil and military officials agree with the old emperor's good idea of extermination of Liangshan, but the question is who to send? Where did the soldiers come from again?
In the end, Wang Fu gave an idea to the old emperor. After hearing this, the old emperor immediately turned angry and ordered Wang Fu to take full responsibility for Liang Shan's affairs.
