Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 443

Therefore, after several months of hard work, Ma Zheng, Ma Kuo and his son not only failed to accomplish an inch, but were almost pursued and impeached by important officials in the court, which is really annoying.

Seeing this, Ma Zheng first sent Ma Kuo back to his hometown in Dengzhou, and stayed in Beijing to do activities up and down, so as not to suffer unreasonable disasters.

That bird emperor, let his courtiers take the blame for the disaster he caused by himself, it's really not a thing!Ximen Qing cursed secretly.

Ximenqing comforted Ma Kuo a few words, and asked him about the news of Li Shanchang, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, and the other three.

Ma Kuo also knew that the three men and Ximen Qing were old acquaintances, so he told Ximen Qing that when he left Bianliang City in Tokyo, the three envoys of the Kingdom of Jin were still stranded in the capital.

Ma Kuo said that the imperial court did not treat Li Shanchang and the three badly, and provided them with food and drink every day.I heard that the ministers of the DPRK and China are taking turns to meet and discuss with the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin, but I don't know what is going on.

After Ximenqing had a long talk with Ma Kuo, he saw that Ma Kuo's official position was low and he didn't know much about the true intentions of the emperor and ministers in the court, so he stopped asking him more.

After leaving Ma Kuo's house, Ximenqing visited Dengzhou prefect Wang Shizhong and the commander of the Peace Navy Hu Yanqing successively with gifts.However, from the two of them, Ximen Qing failed to get much more useful information.

It seems that if you want to know what tricks Song Huizong and his favorites are playing, you still have to go to Bianliang City, Tokyo!

Chapter 7 Letter to Qin Hui

After Ximenqing visited Ma Kuo, Wang Shizhong and others in Dengzhou, he didn't get much.He didn't stop any longer, and took a group of brothers on the way home.

Although he was going to Bianliang City in Tokyo to do business, Ximenqing still had to go back to Yanggu County for a few days, reunite with the ladies and children before it was too late.

The bird emperor Song Huizong's death was not bad in the past few days. There is not much difference between arriving in Bianliang, Tokyo earlier and arriving later.

This time I brought back eight boxes of sable fur and Dongzhu from the Kingdom of Jin, why don't I make a mink fur jacket for the ladies and children?Make a few more Dongzhu jewelry for the ladies?

Why not a mink coat?It's not that Ximenqing is reluctant to part with these mink furs, but that the climate in Yanggu County is not as good as that in Liaodong area, and mink fur coats are not needed in winter.

If Hu Sanniang and the others were to be wrapped in mink fur, it would be a little too abrupt.

Of course, in Ximen Qing's plan, the family members of the brothers under him also have a share.

It is better to be happy alone than to be happy together. Only by sharing the joys and sorrows with the brothers can they work more attentively.

As for the gang of corrupt officials in Bianliang City in Tokyo, it would be a good idea to leave them three or five East Pearls.

There are too many Dongzhu, but Ximenqing is going to sell it for military funds.

Walking on the road, Ximen Qing soon divided up the treasure that Wanyan Sagai provided to him in his heart.

Ximen Qing didn't need to worry about the good horse he brought back.

"Purple Beard Uncle" Huang Fuduan, who loves horses like his life, takes better care of the hundreds of good horses handpicked from Liaodong, and regards them as his darling.

Ximen Qing's ranch is managed by Huangfu Duan and those Mongols, and every year they continuously send good horses and foals to Ximen Qing's army, which greatly enhances Ximen Qing's cavalry strength.

This time back to Yanggu, the ranch has to expand again.The beaches on both sides of the old course of the Yellow River in Yanggu County have been occupied, and the wasteland in Dong’e County has to be merged and occupied!

As for how much tax the government needs to pay to occupy these lands?Hehe~ It doesn't matter who opened Dongping Mansion in Yunzhou!

Cheng Wanli, the magistrate of Dongping Prefecture, is Ximenqing's future father-in-law. Wang Jun, the military superintendent, and his officers and soldiers were all bribed and subdued by Ximenqing. Dongping Prefecture, Yunzhou is Ximenqing's world!

The tens of thousands of robbers in Liangshanbo were all cleaned up by Ximen Qing. Which blind idiot in Dongping Mansion would dare to stroke Ximen Qing's beard?

Even those corrupt officials in Bianliang City in Tokyo can scrape land, but they can't think of scratching Ximen Qing's head.

Today's Dongping Mansion is occupied by the officials of Ximen Qing, so it must belong to the officials of Ximen Qing!

When passing by Laizhou City, Ximenqing did not forget to visit Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao and his wife, and gave Li Qingzhao a sable fur as a gift.

Both Zhao and Li are high-ranking prime ministers and have a lot of wealth. The sable fur is not too precious to them.

It's just that this special product of Liaodong is considered a rare thing in Song Dynasty.

When Li Qingzhao took the beautiful sable fur, Ximen Qing's eyes lit up when he saw her.

Hehe~ No matter what poetess you are through the ages, how is it different from ordinary women at this time?

Ximenqing showed courtesy to Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao for nothing, of course to maintain a good relationship with them.

If I remember correctly, Zhao Mingcheng would be transferred from Laizhou to Zizhou to be the magistrate in the past few years, until the Jin army went south, and he fled to Jiankang Mansion in one breath.

Ximenqing made friends with this courageous "Zhao Paopao" so that when the Jin army went south in the future, this Zhao Mingcheng would no longer flee to the south of the Yangtze River, but would take shelter under his command.

As local scholastic leaders, Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao's exemplary role is still very useful for Ximenqing to win people's hearts.

Now the scholars in Qingzhou and Laizhou are all impressed by Ximenqing, which is also inseparable from his and his wife's contribution to the flames.

Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao hosted a banquet in honor of Ximen Qing in the mansion.

During the dinner, Ximen Qing intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that he would go to Bianliang City, Tokyo to do business, but he was not very familiar with the people in the capital.

After hearing this, Zhao Mingcheng laughed and told Ximen Qing that he was the leader of the imperial students in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and had a lot of contacts in the capital. He wrote several letters to Ximen Qing to ensure that Ximen Qing would be in Bianliang City, Tokyo. There are people here to take care of you.

After the banquet, Zhao Mingcheng took a pen and paper, wrote several letters of recommendation to his friends in the capital, and handed them to Ximen Qing.

Li Qingzhao also refused to give in to her male eyebrows, and wrote a letter to her cousin Wang Ya and her cousin Qin Hui, and asked Ximen Qing to take it.

Li Qingzhao told Ximen Qing that he heard that his cousin-in-law Qin Hui was quite appreciated by the Taoist emperor in the capital, and he would definitely be of benefit to Ximen Qing's trip to Bianliang City in Tokyo.

After leaving the mansion of Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao, Ximen Qing looked at the letter Li Qingzhao wrote to Qin Hui and his wife, and showed a satisfied smile.

Qin Hui, who was able to stand out in the troubled times of the Northern Song Dynasty and become the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, can be said to be a first-class talent among the civil servants of the Song court!

This time, Ximenqing visited Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao, and revealed to them that he was going to Bianliang City in Tokyo. The most important thing was to let the couple connect him and Qin Hui again.

Now with this letter, Ximenqing has an excuse to visit Qin Hui in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and further friendship with him.

I don't know what Qin Hui is busy with in the capital right now?Perhaps it is creating Song typeface!

After reaching his goal in Laizhou City, Ximen Qing didn't stay for long, and continued on the road with his brothers.Passing through Weizhou and Qingzhou, Ximenqing didn't stop too much. He went all the way to Duying Villa in Yanzhou, and just rested for two days to make arrangements for the development of Yanzhou.

Shi Jin stayed in Yanzhou and continued to train with Zhu Wu to build the Yanzhou army. Ximen Qing returned to Yanggu County with Jiao Ting, Huangfu Duan and Yue Fei.

After spending the night in Ximen Fort, Yue Fei and the others bid farewell to Ximen Qing and returned to Tangyin County of Xiangzhou to visit their parents.The four of them made an agreement with Ximen Qing that when Ximen Qing set off for Bianliang City in Tokyo, he would take them all the way to the capital to see them.

Ximen Qing came back from a long journey, and brought back precious sable fur and Dongzhu as gifts to the ladies. The ladies all smiled, and the whole Ximen Fort was immersed in joy.

As the saying goes, a little farewell is better than a newlywed, Hu Sanniang, Liu Xiuxiang, Pan Jinlian, Li Jiaojiao and other beauties spend all day pestering Ximen Qing's officials and men, singing and dancing, with all kinds of amorous feelings.

Ximenqing's officials embraced each other from left to right, sleeping with flowers and pillows on jade, so romantic and happy.

How long is the night when Ding Ding leaks water, and the long light clouds dew the moonlight.

Before I knew it, several days passed.If it wasn't for the fact that Ximen Qing's body had some mutations after transmigrating, and he was gifted in matters of men and women, even an iron-clad arhat would not be able to stand this boundless beauty!

Officials of Ximen Qing have always been the fairest.After intensive plowing in Simon Fort, he rode his horse to the pasture.
