"What does Wang Shaobao think?"

Wang Fu, however, became arrogant because of the emperor's favor.

He often arrived just before court.

It was as if all the civil and military officials were waiting for him.

Unexpectedly today,

Emperor Huizong, however, held the morning court session ahead of schedule.

The officials who arrived late were all waiting outside.

I don't dare go in.

Wang Fu, however, wanted to take advantage of Zhao Ji's inattention.

Slowly slip in from the back.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji saw it.

The conversation that everyone just had,

Wang Fu had heard most of it and then reported back.

"I believe that issuing an imperial edict to offer amnesty is not impossible,"

"Even the Liangshan bandits wouldn't accept it,"

"It can also serve to delay them."

"If they accept the imperial court's offer of amnesty,"

"Then we can send them to wipe out Tian Hu and Wang Qing."

"It's not too late for the court to reward those who have contributed after we've wiped out the two bandits,"

"If the war in the north becomes critical,"

"They can also be sent to attack Liao."

Wang Fu spoke so bluntly,

Everyone understood.

It was nothing more than accepting amnesty from the Liangshan bandits.

Then use someone else to do the dirty work.

Zhao Ji, upon hearing this, suddenly understood and nodded.

“Your words are very apt, exactly what I was thinking.”

"Then please ask Grand Commandant Chen to make the trip,"

"Do not lose the dignity of the imperial court."

Grand Commandant Chen Zongshan heard that he was to do this kind of thing.

I was so scared that I almost knelt down.

However, the imperial edict had already been issued.

He dared not refuse.

He had no choice but to step forward and receive the decree.

Emperor Huizong then inquired about some political affairs.

He then announced his resignation from court.

Su Yuanjing walked up to Chen Zongshan, cupped his hands in greeting, and said...

"Congratulations, Grand Commandant Chen, on securing this excellent position!"

"If this trip is successful,"

"Lord Chen is a meritorious official of our Great Song Dynasty."

Chen Zongshan curled his lips.

Said angrily,

"The Liangshan bandits are ruthless; even Grand Commandant Gao was killed."

"I would be fortunate if I could return safely; there is no merit to speak of."

Su Yuanjing shook his head and said, "Many leaders of Liangshan are generals of our Great Song Dynasty."

"They must be loyal and righteous,"

"I only temporarily joined the rebels after being defeated and captured."

"Lord Chen's trip has given them a way out,"

"They will surely encourage Zhao Yuan to accept the imperial pardon."

Chapter 1677 Thinking of Doing Something Mischievous Again

"The soldiers of Liangshan were also extremely brave,"

"If we could get them to serve the court,"

"Sweeping away Tian Hu and Wang Qing will be a piece of cake."

"Shouldn't all these credits be attributed to Lord Chen?"

"When the Grand Commandant arrives, use plenty of sweet words,"

"With extra care and compensation, this task can be accomplished."

Upon hearing Su Yuanjing's words, Chen Zongshan...

That's when I realized things might not be so bad after all.

The two had only walked a few steps when

But someone shouted from behind,

"Grand Commandant Chen, please wait."

Chen Zongshan turned around and saw that it was Wang Fu.

They dared not be negligent.

He quickly turned around and walked up to Wang Fu.

"What advice does Lord Wang have for me?"

Wang Fu said, "The Emperor has decreed that you be appointed as an envoy."

"When you get there, do not disregard the laws and regulations of the court,"

"It disrupts the laws and regulations of the country."

"Any unreasonable demands from the Liangshan bandits must not be granted."

"My household has a system of laws governing multiple provinces,"

"I'm just trying to give you some pointers because I'm afraid you might have something to hide."

Chen Zongshan knew that Wang Fu was arrogant and domineering.

The servants around him probably behaved in the same way.

Taking it with him would probably cost him his life.

But if one refuses Wang Fu,

I fear disaster is imminent, so I had no choice but to say...

"I am deeply grateful for your kindness."

Chen Zongshan received the imperial edict of amnesty and the imperial wine.

I went home and packed my luggage.

The next day, Zhang Ganban from Wang Fu’s residence came to find Chen Zongshan.

Chen Zongshan dared not delay.

Five hundred Imperial Guards were called up on the hour.

Then he left the city and headed towards Guangji Army.

On the fifth day,

They then arrived at the territory of Guangji Army.

Chen Zongshan said to Zhang Ganban, "The people of Liangshan are all from humble backgrounds."

"I'm afraid they don't take the laws of the imperial court seriously."

"If even a single word offends him,"

"Our lives are probably in danger."

"Please, Officer Zhang, be patient and try to be kind."

"At least it made this happen."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ganban said with displeasure,

"When I came here, the Junior Guardian repeatedly instructed me to pay attention to the laws and regulations of the imperial court,"

"You just need to teach them to be careful and gentle,"

"This will disrupt the court's discipline."

"The Liangshan bandits were inherently arrogant,"

"If we continue to be lenient with them,"

"I'm afraid they'll cause even more trouble."

Chen Zongshan complained, "Grand Commandant Gao enjoys the Emperor's deep favor."

"They're capable of killing, so if you or I offend them, they'll surely retaliate."

"How can I save my life?"

Zhang Ganban sneered, "When they killed Gao Kan, it was a battle between two armies."

"Now we are envoys of the imperial court,"

"If they want to be recruited, they'd better serve us well."

"These bandits are causing trouble simply because they hope the imperial court will grant them amnesty and allow them to obtain an official position."

"How could we dare to truly fight the imperial court to the death?"

"I know what to do, you don't need to say anything more."

Chen Zongshan saw that he could not persuade Zhang Ganban.

They had no choice but to continue on their way.

They hadn't gone far when

Then a troop of cavalry came galloping towards them.

Upon seeing this, Chen Zongshan quickly shouted,

"We are envoys from the imperial court offering amnesty,"

"We are not here to attack the Guangji Army."

Hua Rong led his cavalry to their side.

He reined in his horse and shouted.

“My king already knows why you’ve come,”

"Please come to the military camp for a meeting."

Chen Zongshan heard that Liangshan had already received the news.
