After listening to Emperor LiZong's words, Jia Sidao understood what the weakest party meant by paying the price.
To put it bluntly, it is only humiliating to accept other people's offer to pay tribute, or even cede land and other conditions.
Jia Sidao comforted emperor LiZong and said, "in fact, sometimes, in order to achieve a certain goal, we have to pay a certain price for a few words. The key is to see that the value of this generation is not worth it."
"Jia Aiqing, you are right." Emperor Li Zong of the great song dynasty.
Jia said: "Your Majesty, if you think about it, in order to recapture the lost territory of the Song Dynasty in the future, it's nothing. "
then he said:" of course, your majesty, don't worry. You don't have to come forward to deal with matters like this with the Mongolian mission. If you trust him, let him handle it. "
" in the civil and military affairs of Manchu Dynasty, the person I trust most is Jia Aiqing. Otherwise, I won't say these intimate words to you. Jia Aiqing, you just let go and do well. If you are successful, I won't blame you even if you fail. "Emperor li Zong said.
Jia Si Dao replied: "if you have your Majesty's words, I will be relieved and can boldly implement your Majesty's meaning. "
after hearing this, Emperor LiZong naturally expressed his satisfaction.
They had been doing it in the pavilion for a while. Emperor ningzong got up and asked Jia Sidao to accompany him in the imperial garden.
"Your Majesty, the scenery in this imperial garden is endless. If you don't have so much state affairs to worry about, then you will have more time to enjoy it. "Jia Sidao said to Emperor LiZong.
Emperor LiZong said: "I don't want to be like this, but now the Song Dynasty is in a troubled age. I don't have so much time and mood. Today, you Jia Aiqing is here, and I'm in such a mood. "
" Your Majesty, in fact, you don't have to work too hard. After all, dragon body is the first. You should know that your Majesty's good health is the blessing of our song dynasty! " Jia Sidao again complimented.
Emperor LiZong said: "every time I chat with Jia Aiqing, I'm very happy. You should always come to accompany me when you have nothing to do."
"Weichen also wants to accompany you often. Sometimes he is afraid of affecting your old people's rest, so he doesn't dare to come in." Jia Sidao explained.
Emperor LiZong patted Jia Sidao, who was walking with him, and said kindly, "Jia Aiqing, you remember, I'd like you to come in at any time."
After that, he seemed to ask unintentionally, "Jia Aiqing, in your opinion, who did this assassination of the Mongolian mission?"
Just now, for this matter, Jia Sidao and his comrades have quarreled with Ding Daquan.
Now emperor LiZong summoned himself and asked about this. It seems that he had a little doubt in his heart that Ding Daquan had done it.
In fact, Jia Sidao's guess was not wrong at all. Emperor LiZong saw that Ding Daquan was so enthusiastic about contacting the western missions, but he could not help but let emperor LiZong suspect that Ding Daquan did it. However, Ding Daquan was one of the prime ministers of the current Dynasty. He had a deep root and was the emperor LiZong In the absence of conclusive evidence, there is no action.
Now he asked Jia Sidao, just to see what he thought of the matter.
But Jia Sidao was also very cunning. He knew that he and Ding Daquan were two different factions in the court. For many years, they had been fighting. If he said that Ding Daquan had arranged the work, Emperor LiZong would suspect that Jia Sidao was deliberately slandering Ding Ding Ding Daquan.
When Jia Sidao thought of this, he used a specious tone and said: "in fact, Prime Minister Ding should only be the object of suspicion, but it's not so big that it's what he did."
Hearing this, Emperor LiZong became interested and said, "in your opinion, who else will interfere with this matter?"
"In fact, there are two questionable goals in this matter." Jia Si said.
Emperor LiZong asked, "there are two more goals. Who are they?"
"When this happened, it was said that it was not too far from Wen Tianxiang's manor?" Jia Sidao deliberately profound way.
Emperor LiZong said: "it's impossible. I still know Wen Tianxiang. He advocates the restoration of the Central Plains and hates the Mongols' occupation of our territory. But he will not do such a private task of sending killers. I still believe in his character. Otherwise, I will not issue an imperial edict to reactivate him."
"Maybe, it's just a coincidence." Jia Sidao was very tactful. When he heard emperor LiZong say so, he replied.
Emperor LiZong said: "but since you are the object of doubt, I trust him. But Jia Aiqing, since you are in charge of this matter, you should check and return it."
"Of course, your majesty, you can rest assured." Jia Sidao replied.
Emperor LiZong then asked, "who is the last suspect?""This last suspicious target is just a direction, and no specific person has been identified yet." Jia Sidao replied.
The emperor said: "you doubt the direction."
"In the great Song Dynasty, there are some people who support and oppose the peace talks with Mongolia, so there must be different opinions within the Mongolian Khanate. The fourth King Kublai of Mongolia supports the peace talks and keeps peace with us for the time being. Those who are not at peace with the fourth King Kublai will certainly oppose his proposal, but now the fourth King Kublai's opinions are not the same It is supported by the Mongolian Khan mengge, but those who oppose it will not be reconciled. It is not impossible to send out killers to assassinate members of the mission. " Jia Sidao analyzed.
Emperor LiZong said: "Jia Aiqing, you say that, this matter is really complicated. The murderer may have been sent by our song people, but it may also have been done by Mongolian people."
"Your Majesty, it is quite possible." Jia Sidao replied.
Emperor LiZong worried and said, "if it's our song people who did it, it's easier to find the murderer. But if it's the Mongols themselves who did it, then they fled back to Mongolia. If we want to solve this case, it's going to take a lot of trouble."
"Don't worry, your majesty. In my opinion, the first assassination has failed. These assassins came all the way, and they must be sure to win. Since they didn't succeed the first time, there must be a second time. As long as they do it again, I will have a chance." Jia Sidao replied.
Emperor LiZong asked, "Oh, are you sure?"
"There is still a 70% assurance. If you want to say 100% assurance, I can't do it." Jia Sidao replied.
Emperor LiZong said, "it's a clear move for me to order Zheng Huchen, the commander of the imperial forest army, to take over 100 experts to take over the Mongolian mission. Then Jia Aiqing's card will be used as a secret move to take over the Mongolian mission."
"When it's dark and bright, your majesty is sitting in the palace, but he's ready. I really admire him." Jia Sidao praised again.
Emperor LiZong said, "even if I have another job, I have to rely on you ministers. I can't do it alone."
After he left, Emperor LiZong might feel a little tired, so he would sit on the stone bench by the side of the road.
Jia Sidao quickly wiped the stone stool with his sleeve, and then he carefully helped emperor LiZong to the stone stool and sat down.
Then he sat next to him.
Emperor LiZong said, "you are right. You should pay attention to all three goals, but you still missed one."
Hearing that he had missed one, Jia Sidao thought about it and said, "there should be no one else."
"Think again!" Li Zong emperor road.
After emperor LiZong's reminding, Jia Sidao understood a little, but he still pretended to be confused and said, "please give me your advice. I really can't remember."
"The mission of the West." Emperor LiZong said softly.
Jia Sidao actually thought of it at this time, but he still said with a very surprised expression: "Your Majesty, you really wake up the people in the door with one word. How could Wei Chen not think of this?"
Even if it is high in the emperor, but also want others to praise themselves, others smart.
When Jia Sidao did this, it was thousands of times better than praising emperor LiZong directly. In emperor LiZong's view, he was higher than that Jia Sidao, and he thought far away. Jia Sidao could never be out of his control.
"You didn't think of it. I think of it for you. I'll remind you again. That's the same thing." Emperor LiZong said triumphantly.
"The envoys of the Western Mission came to Lin'an, the capital city of the Song Dynasty for the first time, but their merchants did frequent contacts between Song Dynasty and other western countries. When they were in the Song Dynasty, they knew some people in the Jianghu who were highly skilled in martial arts. To them, it should not be a difficult thing."
"Yes, Jia Aiqing should know this better than me. As long as you can afford to kill those killers in the Jianghu, they will not hesitate to kill anyone you ask them to kill." Li Zong emperor road.
Jia Si said: "yes, what's more, these envoys are shouldering the mission of their king, and they will certainly bring a lot of silver for them to spend. As long as the assassins ask for a price, they will be able to afford it. I'm afraid they won't even blink an eye."
After that, he asked, "but prime minister Ding is responsible for the affairs of this western mission. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Weichen to participate in it again?"
"Haha, when did Prime Minister Jia become a master who was afraid of things? I didn't expect that." Emperor LiZong deliberately urged him to do so.
of course, Jia Sidao knew that emperor LiZong had provoked him, but he didn't say anything about it. He said, "Your Majesty, in fact, I'm not afraid of prime minister Ding. I just think that I and Prime Minister Ding are officials of the same Dynasty, helping your majesty together. If it's too stiff, I won't have a good influence among all the officials. It's not like that How can we set an example for all officials? "Jia Sidao's words were so high sounding that emperor LiZong could not say anything. He said: "Jia Aiqing, you don't have to think so. As prime minister, you should be bold. If you think that Prime Minister Ding is wrong, you can report to me. As long as you verify, I will deal with Prime Minister Ding. Of course, if you are Jia Aiqing, you can tell me what is wrong If there's a problem, Ding Aiqing can report it to you. If it's verified, I won't tolerate it. "
After hearing this, Jia Si Daoxin said, "isn't this emperor encouraging me to fight with Ding Daquan? In this way, he can sit in the middle of the Diaoyutai and eat left and right together."
It seems that the king is like this. No matter how kind he is to you, it's just when he needs you.
Jia Sidao asked, "Your Majesty, do you mean that we can investigate the missions of western countries?"
"Of course, they are in the territory of the Song Dynasty, so they must abide by the national law of the Song Dynasty. As long as they do something illegal, the Song Dynasty has the right to deal with them." Li Zong emperor road.
Jia Sidao nodded and said, "I understand. After I go back, I will make arrangements immediately. Once there is any situation, I will report to your Majesty in time."
"That's good! "The emperor replied.
then, Emperor Li Zong thought, and said, "but you have to pay attention to it. We are just wondering now, but there is no real evidence. You can only investigate secretly, and not be rude to the western countries. Otherwise, I will not be able to defend you when I find what I am in. "
" of course, Mr. Ding is responsible for the reception of the Mongolian mission. He receives them well, while Mr. Wei inspects them carefully to see if they have done anything harmful to our song dynasty. "Said Jia Sidao.
Emperor LiZong said with satisfaction: "it's not bad at all. Let's do it like this. "
after that, Emperor LiZong asked again," Jia Aiqing, are the people you secretly sent to meet the Mongolian mission from the rivers and lakes or from the Lin'an government? "
Jia Sidao didn't dare to lie about such a thing, so he said:" Your Majesty, this time, I'm sending the experts who I hired from the rivers and lakes. "
it turns out that Jia Sidao knows that all the people in the Jianghu are haunted and can help him do a lot of things. Since he became the prime minister, he has collected a lot of people in the Jianghu. Of course, many of them are scum in the Wulin. He came to Jia Sidao's residence for enjoyment, but he has never recruited the top experts in the Jianghu.
Jia Sidao has always been deeply regretted. Recently, a man from the river and lake came to his residence. Once he arrived at his residence, he beat all the masters in his residence and shocked the whole audience.
Of course, in this case, Jia Sidao immediately announced that this mysterious man would be in charge of the experts in his residence.
