Chapter 47: The Round Table

Looking at the disputes in the Juyi Hall, Wu Yong thought: "Brother Gongming, Brother Gongming, you are really smart, and you are confused for a while. Before you went up the mountain, Ximenqing sat on the fifth golden chair, and now you make a difference between the old and the new, and then arrange the seats in the order of the first year, but don't you throw him Ximenqing to Java? No wonder Ximenqing wants to play tricks with you everywhere today. You are right when you first come to the cottage and do not fight for the first golden position, but you want to secretly suppress Ximen Siquan, but this move is bad! ”

Wu used his own heart to save people, and he expected that he had already called the pulse of Ximen Qing, and immediately smiled: "Brother Gongming said that the order of the decision should be made by the year A, but this is a bit inappropriate. If the year is big, the credit may not be great, this is unfair, how can you convince the public? ”

Song Jiang suddenly woke up to this, then looked at Ximen Qing and said with a smile: "In this way, it is my Song Jiang who is reckless." But I don't know what the four spring brothers have to solve the problem of cottage seats? ”

Among the heroes in the Juyi Hall, there was a black whirlwind Li Kui who shouted: "Just sit on a few chairs, and the trouble will be troublesome, isn't it chaotic?" If I Tie Niu said, everyone sits at will, how much is good! If we fight for three more days and three nights, delaying our brothers' eating and drinking, Tie Niu will get angry, chop up all the chairs here with an axe, and burn them as firewood, then stop worrying! ”

In the midst of everyone's laughter, Ximen Qing also smiled: "Brother Tieniu's words are exactly what I want!" ”

When all the heroes in the righteous hall heard this, they were all shocked. Li Kui's nonsense, everyone only took it as a joke, but at this time, Ximenqing, who has always been resourceful, echoed it, could it be that there was something strange in it?

Ou Peng turned his head to Jiang Jing and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Jing shook his head: "Big brother, there must be something strange about this matter!" ”

At this time, Chao Gai also asked, "Brother Siquan, do you have any clever plan?" But I don't know that the plan will be released, and I will give it quickly. ”

Ximen Qing smiled, took out a roll of broad paper from his sleeve, held it in his hand and said, "Brother Haojiao learned that my brother is ready to be here!" ”

Wu Yong glanced at Song Jiang with a smile, and said in his heart: "Look! They have everything ready! ”

Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Jiao Ting, and Chen Xiaofei each pulled a corner and unfolded the broad paper. All the heroes in the righteous hall looked at it, but saw that there was a huge round table painted with vertical and horizontal brushwork on it.

When everyone saw it, all the monks were puzzled, and Chao Gai asked, "Brother Siquan, what does this mean?" ”

Ximen Qing arched his hand and said: "Brother Tianwang, now our Liangshan is prosperous, and the heroes in all directions are defecting, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, if you don't prepare early, won't it cold the hearts of the heroes in the world?" Therefore, when he returned to the mountain all the way from Jiangzhou, the younger brother had already thought about it in his heart and drew such a picture. ”

Everyone said "oh", and Jiang Jing, the god operator, hugged his fists and said: "Brother Siquan is really very wise, take one step, think about three steps, and the blessing of the real cottage!" But I don't know what is the mystery of this round table? ”

Ximenqing pointed to the round table on the picture and said: "This round table is not just a table, it represents a new concept." When the younger brother comes to it, let's refer to it. We Liangshan heroes come from all over the world, and the ingredients are mixed - there are rich families like Brother Tianwang, capable officials like Brother Gongming, scholars like Mr. Fake Liang, monks like Mr. Youqing, officers like Brother Lin Chong, and more heroes from all walks of life who were born in the grassy green forest! ”

When everyone listened, they all nodded silently.

Ximen Qing said again: "Our brothers, although they are from different backgrounds, but most of them were forced to go to Liangshan by corrupt officials and corrupt officials. If we just take care of the seating order and faction, wouldn't we lose the original meaning of the words 'for the heavens' on the apricot yellow flag in front of our righteous hall? ”

Chao Gai, Lin Chong and the others listened, looking at each other, and their faces were ashamed.

But I saw Ximenqing pointing to the round table on the picture and said: "As soon as I thought of this, my brother drew such a picture." Everyone, please look at this round table, according to the three hundred and sixty degrees of the week, Zhan turned as expected, but there was nothing to pay attention to in the north, the south, the east, the west. Make the last one in the same way, put it in the righteous hall, and the brothers come and sit with them, how much less restrained, but not chic and free? It is to discuss things, because when everyone sits casually and speaks freely, you have me, I have you, it is precisely because of the matter that no matter who matters, it also avoids many-for-tat confrontations between friends. ”

Li Kui looked at it for a long time, and then said: "This is simple! Lest a stupid person like me take care to remember where his chair should be. If you want to sit down, how many bird things you have saved! I like it! ”

Gongsun Sheng pointed to a few details on the map and asked, "There seems to be something wonderful here, and I also ask the Siquan brothers to explain." ”

Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Brother here, left a road to the center of the round table, if there is a discussion, then ask the person in charge to enter the center of the round table from here to sit, preside over the big things, and listen to the opinions of the brothers, isn't it convenient?" ”

Gongsun Sheng nodded and said: "This is a novelty, quite the Taoist meaning of Taiji Yin and Yang Fish, not bad or bad!" ”

Song Jiang frowned and said, "Although the pattern of Brother Siquan is novel, in my opinion, there is something wrong. ”

Ximen Qing arched his hand and said, "Then ask my brother for advice." ”

Song Jiang said: "I don't dare to advise, I only talk about it with common sense." As the saying goes: no rules, no circle. Brother, this round table, but it seems that my Liangshan is too loose, and his demeanor weakens the majesty of the lord of the cottage, but he doesn't lose his upper and lower levels? For a long time, it will inevitably mess up the law of the cottage, and this wind must not last! What's more, from ancient times to the present, all the tables used are square, but today there is such a round table, so unusual, after all, it is not the right way. He shook his head again and again.

When Ximenqing heard this, he smiled and said: "Brother Gongming's words seem a little unfounded. The cottage has its own law, between gain and loss, only look at the actions of the lord of a village, but what is the round table? Do you not hear that 'his body is upright, and he does not give orders? His body is not right, although he does not obey the order'? The majesty of the lord of man is in the cultivation of one's own body, and not in the pursuit of external things. Besides, this is unusual, you must know that I Liangshan and a group of heroes came up the mountain, itself is to risk the world's disapproval, if you follow the rules, you can swallow your anger under the mountain, why rush to the crown and force Liangshan? What we do is a big thing that the world can't do and dare not do, isn't it just a round table? ”

When the heroes heard this, even though they were not partial, they also nodded secretly. This is exactly what it is:

Only frustrate the clever plan, and borrow the round table to cloth new ideas. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
