Song Jiang felt that he really needed a teacher urgently.
Teacher in officialdom.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: When I was depressed and frustrated all day long, I always felt that apart from only harming the country, how could Cai Jing and Tong Guan really have the ability to help the world and bring peace to the people? If it were him, Song Gongming, he would not dare to say that he would immediately bring peace and harmony to the world, but he still had the ability to make the Song Dynasty look like a new one.
But reality is always cruel.
With Tong Guan's seemingly inadvertent scheming, Song Jiang was almost unable to hold on, and had to fall into a dilemma and be unable to extricate himself. Since then, he has had a more intuitive understanding of these treacherous ministers: as long as those few people who can climb to the top of this empire, no matter they are good ministers or treacherous ministers, they are not easy to deal with.
Perhaps, there is no shortcut to an official career. Officialdom is not a paradise for people like them. If he could have a decent background, step by step from county magistrate, magistrate, magistrate, and magistrate, and go through many trials that a Song Dynasty civil servant should have experienced, he would still face Tong Guan like he does today. Are you helpless against the open and hidden arrows?
No, what Song Jiang lacks is definitely not understanding, but just luck.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It is precisely because of this confidence that he can firmly believe that as long as he is familiar with the rules of the game at the top of the official career over time, by then, he will definitely not do worse than Tong Guan, a castrate.
"It's a pity, he just lacks a noble person who can guide him." Maybe Wen Bin could barely count as half of him when he was the magistrate of Yuncheng County in the past, but his level was too low, and he was a character who relied on others to get things done. Song Jiang could no longer use what he learned from him.
Fortunately, there is no perfect path, and at this time, Song Jiang is in dire straits of advancing and retreating. Right in front of me, there was a master from the officialdom.
"Mr. Wang, the army is simple and simple. We don't have anything good to entertain our distinguished guests. Please forgive me!"
A reception banquet had just been held in the brightly lit Baozhu Temple, which meant that Wang Shizhong and his son, who had been hiding in Tibet for dozens of days, finally had a safe meal. After the banquet, Song Jiang dismissed everyone and warmly invited Wang Shizhong alone to drink tea and chat in the temple.
He¡ïstyle_txt; really wanted to learn some secret official scriptures from this civil servant who had experienced the Liao and Song dynasties.
"General Song, you're welcome. This is the most satisfying meal I've ever had! It's rare, it's rare!" Wang Shizhong sipped the tea in the cup and sat on a table covered with fine tiger skin with a satisfied expression. On the high chair, I was also secretly thinking about Song Jiang. I thought that although this man was a bandit, he treated others well, which was far different from the image of those vulgar bandits in his impression.
"Although this meal is called to support our husband, it is actually a practice. Tomorrow morning, the general will send his right-hand brother Zheng Tianshou to personally lead a hundred cavalry to escort the father and his son to Hebei to report their duties in Tokyo!"
In fact, Song Jiang understands better than anyone else. Wang Shizhong definitely did not want to stay in his army for a long time. Firstly, Sun Li is an embarrassing person who is not easy to meet. Secondly, Dong Ping has also provoked the father and son. Thirdly, he, Song Jiang, is deeply involved in the whirlpool. If he has any merit, he will be rewarded. Fortunately, I stayed with them. But in the current situation, the other party absolutely cannot avoid it.
When Wang Shizhong heard this, he really knew Song Jiang¡¯s interests. He was very satisfied with the follow-up arrangements. He replaced the wine with tea and took the initiative to greet Song Jiang and said: "General, you will fight for the country and have a bright future. Wang hereby wishes you an early victory. When the time comes, I will be the host. See you in the capital!" I heard that Yuxian Tower in Tokyo has been very popular recently, and it happens to be opened by our business in Dengzhou. We will invite Brother Shijie to come and stay drunk! "
I have to say that Song Jiang really admires Master Wang Zhongcheng Mansion. After all, he was born as the prefect of Yingzhou in the Liao Dynasty. As a minister of the Song Dynasty, the city was lost to thieves. At this moment, he didn't even look at all worried. He even boasted that he would have a banquet for guests in the most upscale restaurant in the capital. He didn't know that this calmness was just fake. , still truly confident.
However, these have nothing to do with Song Jiang. It is said that cats have cat lanes and dogs have dog lanes. He, Song Jiang, is Liang Zhongshu and Cai Jing. The treasure they bet on may be the official family!
Since there are some things that you can¡¯t envy, it¡¯s better to smooth over your own affairs first.
"Well, please take care of yourself when your husband is gone. Even though the general is carrying a hundred thousand soldiers today, he may be guilty tomorrow. I'm afraid it will be difficult for my husband to keep the appointment after such a good meal!"
Wang Shizhong smiled slightly when he heard this. It seemed that this young official from Yuncheng had some talent for an official career. He was able to turn the topic to the core issue and pretend the desolation on his face was not obtrusive. This was also a skill. . If such a person helps him in this time of crisis, he will reap rich rewards in the future.The benefits are not necessarily certain.
"Blessings come from misfortunes, and misfortunes come from blessings. The reason why you and I have reached this point is by making choices again and again. General Song is a sensible person, and you must have a comprehensive plan in mind!" "
Wang Shizhong¡¯s words were so heartfelt. It was really not a waste of dinner and wine! Song Jiang immediately climbed along the pole, looked at him piously, and said: "If I advance, I will die, if I retreat, I will not survive. Please give me some guidance and teach me the way to choose!"
Wang Shizhong smiled, picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip of tea, looking at the candlelight swaying in the wind in the distance, as if he was talking to Song Jiang, or to himself: "There are many high-ranking and powerful people in this world." Yes, but one must identify the person who is willing to stretch out his thigh to hug him. If you hold this person's thigh and hope to please that person, it will only make this person feel that you are not good and evil, and it will also make that person feel bad. I feel contempt for you, and in the end, no one will speak for you"
When Wang Shizhong's words came to an end, he had already stood up and walked outside Baozhu Temple. He left another last words, which fell into Song Jiang's ears: "I didn't expect that until now, I can still say such rough things. Look, You still haven¡¯t cultivated yourself well! General Song, let¡¯s just leave it to you and see you later!¡±
Song Jiang chased him to the door and bowed sincerely to Wang Shizhong's back, thinking deeply in his heart: "If I disobey Cai Jing, I will not be able to please Tong Guan in the end. The official is a casual person, so how can I help him?" After beating Cai and Tong's pawns and asking them to ruthlessly abandon them, could they still make the decision for me? Forget it, it's the lesser of two evils. I just hugged Cai Jing's leg until he died. After all, I showed my integrity. When things go up and down in the future, maybe Bole will give me a slap!"
"Mr. Cai, you are my god! I, Song Jiang, will leave my whole life to you!"
When he decided to put his treasure on Cai Jing, Song Jiang suddenly felt much more relaxed. He walked on the flat ground outside the temple with his hands behind his back, looking at the stars in the sky, and couldn't help but think of the days when he lost his footing and fell into the grass.
For a moment, the image of Cai Jing in Song Jiang's mind suddenly overlapped with Chao Gai's, and Song Jiang fell into a trance.
In his daze, he suddenly noticed a wet drop of water flowing down his face. Song Jiang closed his eyes and murmured: "Your single-plank bridge is not really narrow, and my Yangguan Road is not really wide. In this life, Go all the way, lose all the way. King! I, Song Jiang don't owe you anything, I will pay it back I won't owe you anymore"
On the East and West Road of Beijing, the Yunzhou Prefect¡¯s Mansion is the temporary base camp of the expeditionary army.
"Haha, this malignant sore on Song Jiang's back came at the right time!" Tong Guan leaned on the Taishi chair quite relaxedly, put down the battle report in his hand, and looked back at his close aides.
"For more than 20 days, troops were stationed at Erlong Mountain in Luocao's hometown. The mountain gate was tightly closed. Not even a single soldier was willing to move closer to Yidu. Those who knew said that he was unable to advance or retreat and had to resort to the word "drag". Those who didn't knew still thought that he was unable to advance or retreat. He wants to go through the addiction of the mountain king again!" Dong Yun said in a somewhat disdainful tone, "Eun Xiang, since this person doesn't even take the imperial decree to heart, it seems that he is on board the ship of Xianggong Cai!"
"Okay, get on the boat and get on the boat. It's what you and I want. Why should a certain family stop him? But if he thinks that no one can touch Cai Jing's ship, then he's mistaken!" Tong Guan The domineering look in his eyes disappeared in a flash, and he restrained his light and said slowly: "When you are sick, take good care of yourself. He is not an unkind person, so I won't rush him now. Wu Zi, think about it carefully. Now Who are the people closest to Qingzhou? "
Dong Yun smiled when he heard this and said knowingly: "Wang Qingwang Pioneer is now stationed in Jiaoshui County, Laizhou!"
Tong Guanjian said, raised his head, glanced at Dong Yun with a half-smile, shook his head and said, "I didn't ask him!"
"Hey, aren't you thinking about Wang Qing? Who else can take advantage of you?" Although Dong Yun felt surprised in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He just asked, "Isn't the Prime Minister afraid that Wang Xianfeng will not be able to rescue him well?"
"Ineffective rescue? Just rely on Liangshan now? You still don't understand what Wang Lun is thinking now!" Speaking of this matter, Tong Guan had a meaningful look on his face, but he didn't have it at the moment. I meant to go deeper, so I just laughed it off and returned the topic to Song Jiang:
"If I send my son-in-law there to seize the credit and get the upper hand by stepping on Song Jiang, this thing won't be so pretty! Think about it again, who else is around Qingzhou right now? Let's not talk about it for our old subordinates in the Western Army!"
"By the way, the generals and Zhou Xing's troops are now stationed in Changyi County, Weizhou!" Dong Yun has been an aide and assistant to Tong Guan for many years. With his benefactor's slightest hint, he understood in his heart that Song Jiang really wanted to take over the official family this time. I was so offended.
"That's it, it's just an advantage for these two! Let them stop marching eastward to suppress the bandits, immediately change their route to the northwest, and rescue Qingzhou as soon as possible!" (To be continued.)
