After listening to the words of emperor li of the great Song Dynasty, Jia Sidao was really secretly happy and said: "it seems that his majesty can't help it now. He doesn't cover up his true thoughts and refutes Ding Daquan openly."

Knowing that it was time for him to fight again, he said, "Your Majesty, if you are right, Prime Minister Ding must have his own opinion, otherwise, he would not have said that."

"Ah, Ding Aiqing, if you have your own ideas, you can say, why attack Jia Aiqing like this? You are both my ministers. I will never be biased." Emperor Li Zong of the great song dynasty.

Really let Jia Sidao guess right, Ding Daquan really has his own strategy.

It has been said that the western expedition carried out by the Mongol Khartoum was all the way to Europe, causing great panic in the western countries.

At this time, the monarchs of western countries thought of the Song Dynasty in the East.

At that time, the overseas trade of the Song Dynasty was very developed. Many merchants from western and Western Asian countries came to the Song Dynasty by sea for trade. After hearing about the wealth of the Song Dynasty, the monarchs thought that the Song Dynasty was a country worthy of alliance. As long as the East and the West were united, Mongolia would be much easier to deal with.

They had a long way to go to the Song Dynasty, but it was related to the safety of their countries. These European countries, which were originally in conflict, sent out their own envoys. Together with the envoys from western Asia, they formed a huge mission. By boat, they came to Lin'an, the capital of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, the Mongolian mission just arrived in Tokyo, the former capital of the Song Dynasty, because of the internal reasons of the Khanate.

At that time, Jia Sidao was inspecting the army of the Song Dynasty at the front line of the Huaihe River. Naturally, the reception work fell to Ding Daquan, another prime minister.

Along with the western missions, there were many businessmen who had been to the Song Dynasty. They were very familiar with the rules of officials in the Song Dynasty. Knowing that Ding Daquan was a greedy prime minister, envoys from various countries took out the treasures they had brought from their own countries and secretly offered them to Ding Daquan.

After collecting a large amount of treasure, Ding Daquan naturally wanted to speak for others, so he planned to write to Emperor LiZong and suggested that he unite with western countries to deal with Mongolia in the Northern Song Dynasty.

After the Mongolian mission arrived, Emperor LiZong did not receive him immediately, but ran Ding Daquan received it for himself. On the one hand, it was out of his own face as a monarch, and on the other hand, he also considered his own northern Mongolia. If they knew that they had met envoys from western countries and annoyed the Mongolian khanate, it would not be a joke.

When Ding Daquan asked emperor LiZong to meet the envoys of western countries several times, Emperor LiZong refused to see him for a while for various reasons.

From this point of view, the emperor li Zong was still at a certain level. At the same time, he promised to let the Mongolian and western missions come to Lin'an. He wanted to make a final consideration after they came to see who he would unite with, which was in the best interests of the Song Dynasty.

Seeing emperor LiZong's opinion, Ding Daquan said, "Your Majesty, the point of view of Wei Chen is that he has no intention to join Mongolia, so he betrays the enemy and joins the country. It is the king's way to join the western countries, which is in line with the interests of the Song Dynasty."

"I don't like to hear that, Prime Minister Ding." Jia Sidao came out immediately.

Ding Daquan said: "that's because you want Prime Minister Jia to surrender to the Mongols. Of course, you don't like to listen to Prime Minister Jia."

"It's all nonsense. The Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, who surrendered, has no advantage. At most, he is a prime minister. If so, is Jia Sidao guilty of doing this?" Jia Sidao said.

Zhang Yihong, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, said: "even what Prime Minister Jia said is completely reasonable. You know, even if you surrender, you have to have greater benefits."

Between the speeches, the supporters of the two factions began to make a lot of noise. For a moment, the hall was very noisy.

Emperor LiZong took a look at Dong songchen standing beside him.

As the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, when Emperor LiZong went to court, he was always with the emperor. Seeing the emperor's look, he naturally knew what he meant. He immediately drank aloud: "your honor, this is the hall of the imperial court. It's so noisy here. If you don't obey the etiquette, your majesty will be strict with you."

After hearing this, the ministers in the court did not dare to speak and stood in their own positions.

Emperor LiZong coughed and said, "now I finally understand that the real reason why the two prime ministers attacked each other today is actually because of their different foreign policies, right? "

since the emperor had said that, Ding Daquan could not say anything more, so he bowed to Emperor LiZong.

"fortunately, when the Mongolian embassy arrived in Tokyo, it was time for them to leave. "Said Jia Sidao.

Emperor LiZong was surprised and asked, "what, someone dared to ambush the Mongolian mission? Who did this? Don't you want to live? ""It's still under investigation and no ambush has been found. "Said Jia Sidao.

Emperor LiZong said: "the Mongolian mission sincerely came to our song dynasty to negotiate peace, but we couldn't even maintain the safety of others. It's really harmful to the national system. If you have time to argue in this court, it's better to bring the murderer to justice earlier. Otherwise, what's my face to see the representative of the Mongolian mission? "

" that is, Weichen also wanted to know who wanted to kill the representative of the Mongolian mission? "Asked Jia Sidao.

At this time, Zhang Yihong, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, said: "according to the lower officials, whoever opposes the negotiation with Mongolia is the biggest suspect. "

" what do you mean by that, Zhang Yihong? The prime minister is against peace negotiation, but it's against the public, not because he has any personal grudge with Prime Minister Jia. According to you, the prime minister has become the biggest suspect? "Asked Daquan.

Zhang Yihong, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, said hastily, "I don't mean Prime Minister Ding. Just now we were just analyzing the case and talking about the matter. Don't think too much about it. Besides, do you think you are the only one who opposes peace talks with Mongolia? "

as the prime minister, Zhang Yihong didn't give himself any face. In front of so many courtiers, Ding Daquan was really angry.

Ding Daquan, one of Dong songchen's allies beside LiZong, was wronged. He immediately stepped forward to help him.

However, he was the eunuch in charge of the imperial palace. Naturally, he did not dare to argue with the courtiers openly.

He relied on emperor LiZong's favor on himself. In a low voice, Emperor LiZong suggested: "Your Majesty, you see there is a quarrel again. Is this Zhang Yihong a little too shameful to contradict his superior in public? The authority of the prime minister should be maintained. "

after listening to Dong songchen's words, Emperor LiZong also felt that today's court meeting should be over, so he said," OK, OK, don't say anything. "

after that, he looked at the ministers and said," well, in order to avoid another accident, he sent Zheng Huchen, the general manager of the Imperial Army, to meet the Mongolian mission to avoid another accident. "

the emperor was already facing himself, so Jia Sidao immediately knelt down on the ground and said:" I will obey your orders, and everything will be done according to your Majesty's will. "

no matter how powerful Ding Daquan was, at this time, he had to be behind Jia Sidao and said:" the emperor is wise. "

" that's right. You two Prime Ministers must be harmonious. Otherwise, Our Song Dynasty will not have a peaceful future. "Emperor LiZong persuades the two humanitarians.

After that, he asked Dong songchen to withdraw.

Seeing that his plan to deal with Jia Sidao didn't come true today, Ding Daquan gave Jia Sidao a fierce look, and then went away.

Seeing Ding Daquan's back in the distance, Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of household, said: "Mr. Xiang, Ding Daquan didn't succeed today. I'm afraid he will look for other opportunities. "

" what are you afraid of? Ding Daquan is always thinking about fighting with Ben Xiang. But you see, he didn't have to be afraid of fighting Ben Xiang that time. As long as he has ben Xiang, everything is not a problem. "Jia Sidao said triumphantly.

After that, he said in an enigmatic way: "however, the most important thing is that the emperor does not want to make Ding Daquan and the prime minister bigger. If only one of us is left in the court, the emperor will not be at ease. "

" well, in a word, we ministers are not fighting for the present emperor. In fact, it's meaningless to think about it. "Zhang Yihong, Minister of the Ministry of housing, sighed.

Jia Sidao listened to Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, and said, "if you can understand this, then your officials should understand it. "

" although we look noble in front of people, in fact, frankly speaking, we are not a dog in front of the emperor. Only when the emperor is happy can we have a good life. If his majesty is not happy and does not trust us, then our good life will come to an end. "Jia Sidao is a little lonely.

Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, said: "yes, as the saying goes, this companion is like a tiger. Today he stands on the high platform, but tomorrow he doesn't know where to go. It's not easy to be an official, and it's even more dangerous to be a senior official! "

at this time, there was no one on the main hall of the court meeting. They talked from the bottom of their hearts and were reluctant to leave for a while.

After they said a few more words, Jia Sidao invited him and said, "Mr. Zhang, thanks to your help today, how about going to my residence for a drink? "

" Mr. Xiang, if you are invited, I will be happy to accompany you. "Ding Daquan laughed and replied.

When they had finished, they were about to walk outside the hall. Suddenly they heard someone behind them shouting, "prime minister Jia, please stay. "

when they looked up, they saw that the man was a little Eunuch in the palace.

Jia Sidao didn't know this person, so he asked, "what's the matter with you, little father-in-law? "The little eunuch bowed down to give a gift, and said, "Mr. Xiang, the emperor has a decree. Please follow me to a place. The emperor is waiting for you there. "

" just after the meeting, how could the emperor find himself again? Did the emperor change his mind again? "Jia Sidao asked himself in his heart.

However, if the emperor wanted to summon himself, he could not bear to think much. He arched his hand to Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of household, and followed the little eunuch to the harem.

As a favorite of the emperor, Jia Sidao often came to the harem. Therefore, the situation of the harem is also very familiar.

The place that the eunuch took Jia Sidao to is the imperial garden

this imperial garden is the emperor's private home, which is decorated with numerous pavilions and attics, and planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. It's really a good place.

Little eunuch with Jia Sidao along the path, came to a pavilion.

From a distance, I saw emperor LiZong of the Song Dynasty sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea.

When Jia Sidao came to his heel and didn't wait for him to salute, Emperor LiZong waved his hand and said, "Jia Aiqing, don't be so polite, just sit down! "

although the emperor said so, Jia Sidao did not dare to sit down until he paid homage.

Jia Sidao knew very well that emperor LiZong and himself were polite. If he didn't pay homage, he was afraid that the emperor would have an opinion on him.

After Jia Sidao sat down, he leaned over and asked: Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with calling Weichen here?

"Why, I can't worry if there's nothing wrong with you. Jia Aiqing came here to have tea with me and have a chat?" Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty asked.

"As long as you are willing to listen to what your majesty said, I am willing to accompany you and listen to your teachings all the time." Jia Sidao looks very sincere.

Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty said, "Jia Aiqing, you really know how to speak. I like you. As a minister, I am very glad to be able to do things according to my will."

After listening to Emperor LiZong's praise, Jia Sidao quickly pretended to be frightened and said, "Your Majesty, you flatter me. I really dare not be a minister."

"Ha ha, Jia Aiqing, don't be humble. I know you can afford it." Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty was very happy.

After that, he took a sip of tea and moistened his throat. He said, "I know that you have suffered a lot for me at today's court meeting. I know that."

"Your Majesty, it's the duty and glory of a minister to share his worries and solve his difficulties as a minister. What's wrong? Don't think so, your majesty." Jia Sidao explained.

Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty said, "well, if you don't take credit, I can't treat you badly. I'll give you 100 liang of gold and 100 pieces of brocade. What do you think?"
