Chapter 2071 Qu Zhi's past life, leave it to future generations to comment
In the pavilion in Liao'erwa with dense forests and deep valleys, Song Jiang and Wu Yong were sitting in the middle, seeing the light mist rising from the surrounding lakes. The scenery was not only refreshing, but also reminded the two of them of the roaring water. Visiting Dazhai in Liangshan Mountain, one cannot help but sigh with emotion.
"In the past few years, except for the time when I was transferred to Chuzhou, I had a heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Shi, the former Yuncheng County Yamen official, and my brother Hua Rongxian also sent people to check out the current situation, I have never had any contact with him again. I know you, although I am lucky enough to be loved by the army and the people in Chuzhou, my heart is inevitably lonely. I am very happy to finally meet and fall in love with the military advisor and talk about our friendship again..."
Song Jiang originally expressed his feelings, but after he said the words, he realized that something was wrong, and Wu Yong shook his feather fan lightly and did not reply. After all, they both knew very well that although they were appointed and rewarded by Xiao Tang, they were not like the others. The heroes of the DPRK who once gathered in Liangshan, Shuibo, had almost no reason to interact with each other, but it was not done by the two of them in the first place?
In the end, Li Kui was killed by Xiao Tang because of his uncontrollable murderous nature and brought the blame on himself. Dai Zong also died in the battle, but his loyalty and integrity were all overturned... As for Song Jiang, Wu Yong was often good at using some underhanded tricks. They forced Li Ying and others to surrender to Liangshan, accepted the imperial offer and allowed the court to turn around and attack Liangshan. They also killed many leaders who could have been encouraged by them during the expedition against La in the south of the Yangtze River... Even if Xiao Tang allowed them to do so on their own Although Song Jiang had the ability to settle down in the Qi Dynasty, his reputation in the world had already plummeted, and the estrangement between him and other leaders from Liangshan was difficult to resolve.
Song Jiang coughed dryly, then changed the topic and asked: "The military advisor has to accept the important task of His Majesty to go to the Zhejiang Li's Department to examine the state files. I thought that the official affairs were complicated and I would have little free time, but I had to be transferred to another place. This is why We meet by chance... Could it be that the business affairs between Zhejiang and Zhejiang are not going well?"
Wu Yong then smiled slightly and replied to Song Jiang: "Brother, don't worry, I am on official duty according to the imperial decree, and there are no mistakes in my management of the affairs. It's just that Qin Hui, the prime minister of Xuanzhe and Zhejiang... I think that guy is cunning, and he is originally from Song Tingguo." Prime Minister, not only did he have a bad reputation at the beginning, but he was found to have done some secretive things during his tenure, presumably with the intention of concealing his superiors and bullying his subordinates. However, I was ordered to inspect the officials of the two Zhejiang provinces year after year and impeach them for cheating on the law. Now, although I have been transferred to another post, He is somewhere else, but after all, our Majesty is not a dim-witted official of the Song Dynasty. I think that in addition to the officials, the imperial censors and the Fusi of Yiluan Town have secretly made some moves. If they want to lure the snake out of its hole, of course they cannot scare the snake... so It’s not that I was demoted and transferred due to my inability to do things well, but that the imperial court must have another plan to purge the local officials who are abusive and treacherous.”
Seeing that Song Jiang felt relieved, he immediately said with emotion: "The current situation in our dynasty is not like that of the Song Dynasty, when the defeated and treacherous ministers controlled the government, causing chaos in the world and the rise of thieves. Back then, Song studied Confucianism since he was a child, and he became a good official. , he was nothing more than a low-key official in Yuncheng County. He unfortunately lost his life to a sinner. Fortunately, he was promoted by the heroes in the world. By chance, he achieved a great career. He was also lucky enough to survive... The past events in the world suddenly seemed like a dream. Now I can only be sincere and loyal in the name of my queen..."
Wu Yong hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't help but say with emotion: "I was just a scholar in a village. I first followed the King of Heaven, and then I met a dear friend and saved my life. Thanks to His Majesty's generosity and kindness, I enjoy the glory. It is destiny. , my ambition is fulfilled, what else can I ask for? Of course, I no longer dare to do anything different from my heart. I just look back on the past. Now I am in a life-and-death relationship with my brother. I feel the same way and can still talk to each other about my life. How can I do this when I have free time? Won’t you come to visit my dear friend?”
Hearing the words of Wu Yong, the only remaining confidant among his former brothers, Song Jiang's face also showed a look of comfort, and he said with emotion: "Military advisor... Even if you come to visit me when you have free time, I will definitely serve as a sweeper."
We welcome each other on the couch, at least the friendship between you and me... will never be broken."
...The relationship between Song Jiang and Wu Yong now seems to be a team-up for warmth, and it is precisely because of this that they have been able to firmly maintain the brotherhood they had when they gathered together. And Wu Yong
Just like in the original work, he was always single and had no family. Later, he was transferred to various prefectures, and was promoted to the fifth-grade secretary and junior prison. After getting old, he retired from official duties and retired to his hometown.
Living peacefully with Song Jiang, he also opened a private school in the village to teach and learn in his spare time, so that he could enjoy his leisure time.
And Song Jiang's direct nephew Song Anping was raised by his uncle and became an official through the imperial examination. Because he was proficient in classics and history, he was highly talented and capable and was promoted to a direct bachelor in Fuwen Pavilion. He was also an official, rich and noble, and married.
After his wife got married and had a family full of children and grandchildren, she also supported Song Jiang so that Wu and Yong could enjoy their old age in peace.
As for Song Jiang, as the pacifier of Huaidong, he has always been diligent in administering the government and keeping the people in peace. Although he is still as good as when he was the superintendent of Yuncheng County, he does not hesitate to ask for help whenever the people ask him, and he is easy to do things conveniently.
He solves problems, takes care of people's lives, and distributes coffins and medicine to help the poor, save people in urgent need, and help people in need. However, when people who are still hanging around in the world go to him, it is not the case.
He is as high as he is low, and he deliberately buys people's hearts without mercy. It seems that he is deliberately trying to avoid suspicion and not dare to mix with the man who is very active in the world...
In this way, Song Jiang lived in peace and stability until he reached the age of old age. Then he sent out his furniture to recruit tooth market brokers, gave him rewards, and announced the purchase of the market (Buy market, the government or wealthy people use their private property to set up temporary markets to attract brokers and rewards. This is for the purpose of buying the market).
After that, he resigned from office and returned to his hometown. Since then, he and Wu Yong have returned to their hometown in Yuncheng County, Jeju. Although they and Chao Gai of Dongxi Village did not visit each other frequently, they occasionally communicated with each other.
Even after his long death, due to the legendary past of Xiao Tang, the founding emperor of the Qi Dynasty, who gathered in Liangshan, Song Jiang also served as the leader of the village in Liangshan, and compared with Wang Lun and Chao Gai,
His predecessor, because of the green forest gathering, accepted the call for peace, retired sadly, assisted in the fight against the Jin Dynasty, and served as an official in politics... and a series of other reasons for his more active deeds. With the overlap between Song and Qi Dynasty during the Qi Dynasty, various stories describing Liangshan heroes became more and more active.
Widely circulated, Song Jiang's popularity is gradually expanding. Over time, there are also drama scripts with Song Jiang as the main character. However, due to his multiple personalities and complex image, later generations have mixed reviews of him.
However, whether it is recognized by others as being generous and generous, helping the weak and helping the poor, and interpreted as actually upholding loyalty and righteousness, and according to records, it is indeed the principle of governing and caring for the people, or it is criticized as hypocritical, cunning, hypocritical, and framing and coercing others to obey.
He was a thief who used all possible means. He had been loyal to the Song Dynasty before but opportunistically surrendered to the Qi Dynasty. Only then did Song Heishao have a good death... Song Jiang was a character who became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people because of the conflict between the two sides.
After all, there are a thousand Hamlets for every thousand readers. When later generations emerged, the character Song Jiang often appeared in a completely different image in the films, TV dramas and various novels about the historical records and anecdotes of the Song and Qi Dynasties.
. However, no matter whether Song Jiang is praised or criticized, no matter how people interpret it, when future generations of Chinese people hear the nickname "Jiu Yu" of the Song Dynasty, almost no one will not know who the character it refers to is.
