Chapter 341: Recruitment

Wu Yong led Dai Zong into Tingyu Pavilion and immediately found the madam who was greeting guests.

"My mother, which room is Miss Shishi in?" Wu Yong bowed and asked with a smile.

The madam glanced at Wu Yong, and saw Wu Yong dressed in a blanket, and then lost interest. Then she snorted: "Let's join forces, everyone thinks they are well-known, and they don't look at their own dress, just want to see my Shishi. Humph, do you think my Shishi is a casual woman?"

Wu Yong was not annoyed, but took out a silver note from his sleeve and handed it to the madam, then smiled and said, "Just just pass on the word for me, this silver note will be yours!"

The madam glanced at the silver notes and thought that he was a small amount of 100 and 200 taels. Then she snorted: "I am so busy all day long. How can I help you pass the message!"

Dai Zong, who was standing beside him, shouted, "If you shrew, don't do what my brother said, I will demolish your flower building today!"

When the madam heard this, she became even more angry and shouted, "Oh, do you want to play hard, right? I haven't been afraid of... I've been afraid of..."

The madam's eyes suddenly straightened, and she looked at the silver notes floating in front of her, and she didn't even dare to say anything.

Wu Yong opened the silver notes and shook them at the madam. When the madam saw the words "two hundred taels" of the silver notes, she was immediately attracted, and she dared not talk nonsense.

The madam smiled and shook the handkerchief in her hand, then snatched the silver notes from Wu Yong, and then said with a smile: "Oh, it's me, an old woman, who doesn't recognize Taishan and can't recognize two of them. Haha, I'm so sorry. I'm just passing a message to Miss Shishi? I'll do it now, but I don't know what the words are..."

Wu Yong said: "You just need to tell her that your family will come to visit!"

"Family visit?" The madam looked suspicious and thought to herself, Shishi is an orphan, where does her family come from?

Immediately, I went upstairs and went to find Li Shishi.

After the madam left, Dai Zong asked with an excited look on his face, "Military advisor, you know Li Shishi. I heard that she is the number one beauty in Tokyo and is deeply favored by the emperor. If she had her help, she could really convince the emperor to adopt the amnesty plan! By the way, the military advisor, what relationship do you have with her? Could it be...hehe, you know."

Wu Yong smiled and scolded: "You lustful person, what are you thinking about in your head all day long. Shishi is my sister!"

Dai Zong didn't believe it even more and said, "Sister? The genius believed it!"

As soon as Dai Zong finished speaking, he saw an anxious and joyful voice coming from the upstairs.

"Brother!"

Then he saw Li Shishi running in anxiously.

When he arrived in front of Wu Yong, Li Shishi rushed into Wu Yong's arms and then started to cry. The pear blossoms were falling in rain that made the other men love each other. At the same time, he stared at Wu Yong fiercely and cursed Wu Yong.

Wu Yong patted Li Shishi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, girl, stop crying. If you cry, I will be swallowed by others!"

Li Shishi burst into tears and laughed, then took Wu Yong's hand and went upstairs, saying, "I haven't seen my elder brother for many years, and my elder brother is still so funny."

As Li Shishi entered his boudoir, Wu Yong asked Dai Zong to guard the door. After the two of them sat down, Li Shishi's eyes turned red and said, "Brother, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years!"

"Yes, it's been more than ten years. You were a little girl back then, but now you have grown into a beauty. Hey, staying in this brothel is not a solution after all, so you should leave here soon. If you have an interested person, you should marry soon!" Wu Yong said softly.

Li Shishi smiled and said, "My brother cares about me, but I am used to living here. If you ask me to leave, I don't know where to go. As for the person I like, hey, in my eyes, all men covet my appearance..."

Wu Yong smiled and said, "Where is the emperor?"

Li Shishi's cheeks turned red, she glared at Wu Yong, and said, "You also believe in worldly rumors. Your Majesty is my confidant. He likes to listen to me playing the piano and does not do anything I don't want. We are friends with age!"

Wu Yong smiled and said, "I naturally know! Although the emperor is powerful and has countless beauties, he lacks confidants. Therefore, when choosing between beauty and confidants, he chose confidants. This is also the reason why I look for you."

Li Shishi said: "Brother comes to Tokyo at risk and there must be something big. If the younger sister can help, she will definitely do her best. Brother, tell me!"

Wu Yong said: "You also know that I am now serving as a military advisor in Liangshan. Now that the Song Dynasty is in chaos, the emperor is very anxious, so I want you to help me and tell the emperor that I want to recruit peace in Liangshan!"

"Recruitment!" Li Shishi was shocked and asked immediately: "Brother, now the chaos is everywhere, and they are all thinking about fighting for power and profit. Why are you Liangshan thinking about recruitment? This move is so weird!"

Wu Yong laughed and said, "That's right, this is the weird chess you are going! Shishi, don't underestimate this weird chess. It is extremely critical and is crucial to me, Liangshan. If I can't do it, Emperor Yi will probably cut me down!"

Li Shishi was stunned again, and then muttered: "Emperor Yi, Ximen Qing?" As he said that, he remembered the scene of chatting with Ximen Qing back then. Thinking of Ximen Qing's gentle and elegant and free-spirited temperament, Li Shishi's heart was a little ups and downs, and she still remembered deeply that Ximen Qing did not covet her beauty back then.

Seeing Li Shishi's appearance, Wu Yong smiled knowingly and said, "Shishi, otherwise, you will follow me back to Liangshan. What about it? There are many heroes in Liangshan. Can't you find the person you like?"

Li Shishi gave Wu Yong a blank look and said, "My little sister has decided not to marry for life. Brother, don't make fun of me."

After saying that, Li Shishi changed the topic and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely help you. Your Majesty has been upset these days, so he often comes to Listen Yuge to listen to the piano. Then I will tell you. But I am afraid that I will not be able to touch Your Majesty. Otherwise, brother, don't be busy leaving. I will introduce you to Your Majesty. What do you think? I believe that with your brother's 3-inch tongue, you can convince Your Majesty."

Wu Yong nodded, then stood up and said, "Then let's do it like this! But I still have to find other officials to help me with advice from the side."

Li Shishi nodded and said, "Okay, brother, be careful."

Afterwards, Wu Yong took Dai Zong away from Tingyu Pavilion.

Wu Yong first found the Minister of War and bribed him 100,000 taels. Then he asked someone to find Tong Guan and bribed him 200,000 taels. Both of them agreed that they would give the emperor a message to the emperor at the right time to invite Liangshan.

Afterwards, Wu Yong and Dai Zong lived in Tingyu Pavilion and waited with peace of mind.

It has passed in a blink of an eye, and another three days have passed.

At this time, Wu Yong was reading a book in the room. At this moment, a knock on the door came from outside the door, and then Li Shishi's voice sounded: "Brother, are you there?"

Wu Yong replied: "Here!"

As he said that, he got up and opened the door.

Wu Yong asked, "Little sister, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Li Shishi nodded, looked around, and said, "Your Majesty, I just spoke to you, and he promised to receive you!"

Wu Yong was happy and said, "I'm finally here, but let me wait, little sister, let's go!"

Li Shishi nodded, then took Wu Yong upstairs and came to the highest floor of Tingyu Pavilion.

I saw that there were all the great masters standing on the highest level, each of them full of heaven. You could tell that they were masters at a glance. They took one step at a time and guarded the entire floor so strictly that even a fly could not fly in.

After the guards searched, Wu Yong went up the floor and followed Li Shishi into the room.

I saw a lazy middle-aged man sitting upright in front of the desk in the room. He looked in his fifties and looked quite good, but his complexion was a bit bad and his face was pale. This is Huizong.

Huizong was lazy and did not pay attention to anything, so he did not like military affairs, which caused the entire Song Dynasty to fall into endless chaos. Even now that the chaos is everywhere, he was just worried, and then waved his hand to let corrupt officials like Gao Qiu do it. He just issued an order, and then listened to his songs and tasted his tea.

Wu Yong took a step forward and then bowed and said, "Keep to my emperor, long live my emperor!"

Huizong waved his hand gently and said, "Get up. Are you Wu Yong? Liangshan's military advisor? Shishi said you are planning to recruit Liangshan, but is there any such thing?"

Wu Yong stood up, put his hands in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty! I, Liangshan, knowing that I am a serious sin, so I beg Your Majesty to be kind and let us change our evil and do good. We are willing to serve Your Majesty!"

Huizong said: "Do you know that most of the reason for the great chaos in the Song Dynasty is because of Liangshan! I wish I could destroy Liangshan!"

Wu Yong said: "The people of Cao are afraid! The people of sin are well aware that Liangshan is in great danger. We are also afraid of the sins we committed every day, and we wish we had to die and apologize. But the people of Cao are well aware that Your Majesty is kind to govern the country, be loyal and filial, love the people, protect the people, and be polite, and will definitely give us a chance to reform ourselves."

Huizong pondered and asked, "Liangshan wants to reform himself, but what are the means? Otherwise, what's the use of me keeping you?"

Wu Yong said: "The Liangshan people are willing to serve Your Majesty, eliminate foreign enemies, and quell civil strife!"

Huizong was stunned and attracted by the "sweeping out foreign enemies" in Wu Yong's words. Then he thought: Yesterday, the border came to report and said that the Liao army was ready to attack the border of the Song Dynasty. I was worried about how to deal with it. Now Liangshan is available, so I can let him go and fight both sides and lose. It's not bad.

Thinking of this, Huizong nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, you go back..."

Wu Yong was secretly happy. He knew that what Huizong said must be thinking of going back and asking the ministers for their opinions. Then, Wu Yong said, "Your Majesty, let the people say goodbye!"

But Huizong returned to the palace and came to Shangshu to sit in a leisurely manner. After accidentally seeing the good news from the border on the Long Case, Huizong sighed and said to Tong Guan who was serving him, "Oh, chaos and soldiers are everywhere. The border area is not peaceful now. It's really hard. Tong Guan, Liangshan is thinking about being recruited, and I also intend to recruit them to go north to fight against Liao. What do you think? Alas, Gao Qiu and Cai Jing are not in the imperial city, so I can only ask your opinions now."

Tong Guan was happy and knew that the opportunity had come, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, now that the chaos is everywhere, and Liangshan is thinking about recruiting peace, which shows that he has no intention of causing trouble and has the idea of ​​serving the country. Since this is the case, why is Your Majesty not a human beauty? Inviting Liangshan can make him go north to fight against Liao, greatly reducing the use of the imperial court, and intimidating other chaos, so that they can see that Liangshan has recruited peace, and they can't jump for long! And it can also demonstrate Your Majesty's kindness in governing the country."

Huizong nodded and said, "It's reasonable. Since that's the case, I'll leave it to you to do it. Draft an edict and let me see it, and then I'll announce it to the world! I'm going to sleep..."
