Chapter 1867 The scale of state affairs, the significance of Liangshan today
Chao Gai, who had originally decided to give up his official post and return to his hometown in Dongxi Village, Jeju, to continue to be a wealthy family and get to know people in the world, suddenly heard Xiao Tang's words about the friendship between friends and the spirit of the world.
Said: "Whether you are an official or a citizen, Xiao Renxia has a destiny, and Chao must do his best. But I don't know what he means by gathering friendship and friendship in the Jianghu, and how do I need to serve him?"
Xiao Tang took a long breath, and then said with emotion: "I want to build a temple and a large ancestral hall in Liangshan, Shuibo. When I was an old acquaintance, the Juyi Hall was built as the Martyrs' Shrine, with statues of those who died in the war against the Jinlu, and
I will also give imperial edicts to the statues of many generals and assistants who died in the palace, and write personal letters to the temple of Jingzhong. In addition to the righteous people like us who gathered together at the beginning, Dong Ping, Wen Da, Yan Xiaoguang, etc. successively fought against the Jinlu war.
Generals who have died can also be paraded in the ancestral hall. Naturally, money and materials will be allocated to support expenses. Naturally, the place where we gathered to make a fortune must be managed by close friends who have cared for each other.
, and because of the friendship between my brother and all the brothers, he not only intends to resign and return to his hometown, but also has personally witnessed the deeds of me and others along the way, and his former residence is near Shuibo Liangshan. According to my opinion, my brother also
Just the right person..."
After speaking in a long voice, Xiao Tang suddenly turned his head to look at Chao Gai, and said with a smile: "Brother Chao Gai, I will return the position of leader of Shuibo Liangshan Village to you now."
Chao Gai listened blankly, and suddenly a warm current surged into his heart. His chest seemed to be filled with a kind of nostalgia and pride, and his eyes were wet before he knew it. After a while, Chao Gai also showed a calm and open-minded smile on his face.
He immediately stood up respectfully, bowed his head to Xiao Tang and saluted: "I, Chao Gai, respectfully obey your Majesty's decree..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In accordance with the decree of Xiao and Tang Dynasties, although Chao Gai returned to his hometown after receiving his official title, he was still responsible for the work of the temple and ancestral hall to be built in Shuibo Liangshan after returning to Dongxi Village. He was granted a land grant of money and acres to support him.
Needless to say, his family also taught the local Yamen of Jeju Prefecture to select and deploy hundreds of people for Chao Gai to send. However, with the development of Shuibo Liangshan into a national scale with the power of Xiao and Tang Dynasty, although it has not been regarded as a military strategic point for a long time.
In the land, Chao Gai still traveled between Dongxi Village and Liangshanbo Dazhai. Of course, he no longer had to do the green forest activities of the past. Now the meaning of the good mountains and rivers here is not only as a place for the soldiers who died one after another before and after Xiao Tang's great achievements.
The location of the cemetery is also intended to teach future generations to remember the past experiences of the brothers who gathered here to gather together for the common cause and ultimately achieved immortal achievements, as well as the feats each of them performed.
Within a few days, Chao Gai also had wine and congratulations with brothers serving in various government offices in Daming Prefecture, and said goodbye one by one. During this period, he also sent people to send letters to Yanyun Dongyu to appease the people. Song Jiang knew that they would do it again when they had the opportunity.
Reunite and reminisce about the past. Gongsun Sheng, Wu Yong, Liu Tang and other close friends who served in the military office under the rule of Jingdong Road will naturally come to greet Chao Gaina when they hear that he has returned to his hometown after receiving his official post.
He pours out his heart and recounts all the experiences he had when we got along in the past.
However, on the day of leaving Daming Mansion and embarking on the journey back to Jeju, Lin Chong, Xu Ning, Shi Xiu, Yang Xiong, Yang Lin, Shi Qian... and many other people came to see them off. Chao Gai and a group of people accompanied him except
In the mansion, I saw Bai Sheng, who was dressed in a brocade robe, but always seemed a bit disobedient, together with his wife, two sons and one daughter born over the years, and several servants who had already packed up.
The family's luggage was tied up with many suitcases and tied up in several vans. Chao Gai looked surprised and asked quickly: "Brother Bai Sheng, what are you..."
Bai Sheng handed the baby, which was restlessly squirming in his arms, into the hands of his wife, and then he smiled and said: "Brother Chao Gai, although my younger brother also had a farewell drink with Chao the day before yesterday, but after returning After thinking about it, I found out that my younger brother was just an idle guy from Anle Village, and could not be called a hero. It was Quan Tuan and Wu Xuexue who promoted me and taught me how to do things together. Although he experienced some dangers, he joined Liangshanbo. , at least I can live a good life. But now, although my younger brother is also getting a job in the transportation department, I still don’t know what kind of person I am? Shenzheng Jieqian Valley, warehouse cashier, weighing In order to take care of the ministry tasks, it is rare to teach other brothers to take more responsibility for them.
After all, we were not born to be officials, hehe... To say the least, it was just to get some birthday gang profits for my younger brother Guan Pu to gamble with, and then I ran into His Majesty and robbed the darts, but followed Chao The King of Heaven is so blessed by some strange combination of circumstances. Even if he wears a dragon robe, he doesn't look like... uh... wearing an official uniform, he doesn't look like a high-ranking official. If he interferes with national affairs, don't worry. How can my little brother feel at ease after betraying His Majesty's favor?"
As Bai Shengzheng was speaking, his face showed the lightness and joy of being unofficial, and he added: "So I have also asked Your Majesty to allow me to accept the official title, and the money and acres of land that I received as a reward have also been purchased for me." The whole family is prosperous and happy, the family business has been worry-free for generations, and the younger brother has no official position and responsibilities, but this is not even more comfortable and happy? What's more, brother Chao Gai was ordered to take care of the construction of temples and ancestral halls at the old site of Liangshan in Shuibo. Didn't he also have to have the body of the past around him? Is my brother helping me? Now I have also made a plan with my mother-in-law. Since I recognized King Tota as my sworn brother, of course he is still my brother now. If I want to return to my hometown, I should also be with him. My brother went too."
After hearing what Bai Sheng said, the surprise on Chao Gai's face gradually faded, and he became more and more grateful. Then he smiled heartily, walked up and patted Bai Sheng on the shoulder, saying: "Let's go." ,Brother Bai Sheng, let’s go home..."
From then on, Chao Gai and Bai Sheng went on the road together with their wife, children and family, and returned to Yuncheng County on Jingdong Road. Bai Sheng also moved his family from Anle Village to Dongxi Village, bought a house and land, and stayed with Chao Gai to take care of him day and night. About half a month later, Li Zhi, who would be the supervisor, was ordered by Xiao Tang to transfer the civil engineering craftsmen of the Zhenguan Department to official cadres. Together with the Jeju Prefectural Government and the Yuncheng County Government, they transferred craftsmen and civilians to Liangshanbo to replace the original water villages and dry villages. , Wanzi City, Juyi Hall and other places were officially built and repaired temples and ancestral halls. In the following years, as the temples were completed, temples and temples were added. It also added a solemn and majestic atmosphere. Not only did the sacrifices be enjoyed every year, but all the people paid their respects. It was passed down to later generations that the historic site still exists. People from all dynasties and places came to see and appreciate it. When they saw such a scenery and atmosphere, they naturally had different opinions:
But you can see the long smoke and water, faintly hidden in the clouds and mountains, gold-nailed red doors, jade pillars and silver doors. Painted pillars and carved beams, red eaves and green tiles. Green railings are low around the windows, and embroidered curtains are hung high on the sills. There are five main halls. , there is a golden book on the forehead of the imperial edict hanging in the middle; the two corridors are painted with colorful paintings showing the appearance of the approaching court. In the shadow of the green locust trees, the Lingxing Gate is high and connected with the blue clouds; in the shade of green willows, the Jingzhong Temple directly invades the sky. The golden hall is listed with the heroes of Lingyan, Heroes stood tall in the two corridors. The attendants in front of the door were ferocious, and the subordinates were brave. Skilled craftsmen built the towers with paper stoves, and burned the silk in all seasons. Long flags were hung high on the masts, and the people of the two communities offered sacrifices. The common people respectfully paid homage to the gods. The sacrificial ceremony was held in honor of the loyal and loyal emperor. The incense was enjoyed endlessly for thousands of years, and the meritorious deeds of thousands of years were recorded in history.
