After listening to the words of Princess Jia, Jia Sidao was a little puzzled: "elder sister, you know, since I became prime minister, I went back to visit him many times and even invited him to live with me. In this way, my friends would take care of him, but he was not. I went to his university. "
after listening to him, Jia Guifei got up, took out a box of Korean ginseng from her cupboard and said," no matter whether the old people pay attention to you or not, as long as you go all the time, your father will be moved by your sincerity sooner or later. This time, you can take this box of Korean ginseng with you by the way, just say that I asked you to take it, so you have a reason to come. "
" sister, your idea is really good. I'll take time to see him. "Said Jia Sidao.
Jia Guifei said: "that's right. There is no deep hatred in her family. There is a knot that can't be solved. "
after that, he changed his tone and said," before, he didn't like you because he thought you were not promising, but now you are the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, and you are all outstanding. Although he is very angry on the surface, my sister guessed that he should be very happy on the inside. "
after listening to his sister's endless nagging about his family affairs, Jia Sidao was a little annoyed. He said," sister, I have said everything I should say. Your brother should not stay in the palace for too long. If there is nothing else, the brother will leave the Palace. "
in fact, Jia Guifei still hoped that her brother would stay here to accompany him for a while. After all, she was alone in the deep palace. Even if emperor LiZong loved her again, he could not come to her every day.
The maid who accompanies her most every day is her own Qingya building. Jia Sidao is his brother. It's not easy to meet him once. Naturally, Princess Jia hopes that her brother can accompany him more.
But Jia Guifei also knew that her younger brother was the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. She had so many things to deal with every day that she could not be with her for a long time.
Thinking of this, she said: "brother, the elder sister won't keep you any more. Remember to do good work for the emperor. "
Jia Sidao agreed, gave another gift to his sister, turned around and left .。
When Jia Sidao walked out of the gate of the palace, in the dark, a pair of sharp eyes were really staring at him until he left ..。
Before long, a small sedan chair in green came out quietly from the gate of the Imperial Palace and rushed to the place where the high-ranking official residence in Lin'an City was hit.
In the Song Dynasty, Hangzhou was one of the most prosperous cities in the world at that time, although it was a dynasty of partial security. The area of this city was very large, far exceeding many countries of the East and the west at that time.
It took nearly an hour for the sedan to stop in a prosperous restaurant.
The people who came down from the sedan chair were dressed in a proper silk gown. He had a folding fan in his hand and a hat on his head.
The villain at the door of the restaurant saw that the man was well-dressed and had extraordinary bearing. Knowing that the guest Kenting was not an ordinary person, he said, "it seems that I have a reward tonight. "
thinking of this, he excitedly came to this person, bowed himself to make a bow, and said," welcome, sir. I'd like to ask you whether you have made a reservation or .? "
one of the two sedan bearers behind answered for the man:" take our Lord to the east room on the second floor. "
" to the East "The waiter who welcomed the guests couldn't help wondering.
It turns out that the east room is the place where the boss of the restaurant meets his guests. On weekdays, he doesn't receive guests here. Only those who are invited by the boss can go in.
Seeing that the shop boy was a little suspicious, the sedan chair man who just answered asked, "why, do you doubt the identity of our master? "
after you finish, you have to clean up the servant.
Seeing that someone was going to beat him, the welcoming man said, "today is a bad day. I wanted to get some money, but I didn't expect to be beaten. "
the boss of the restaurant once said that those who can come to his place for dinner are rich or expensive, which can't be offended. The servant who welcomes the guests dare not fight back.
I have to wait to be beaten.
But what he didn't think of was that the man who came down from the sedan chair stopped the sedan chair man with a wave of his hand and said softly, "stop. "
after that, he said with a smile," don't be afraid, little brother. Just take me. If your boss blames you, you can find me. "
after that, he took a silver or two from his purse and handed it to the little two.
The sophomore is a little discerning now that he is here every day to meet the guests. When he sees that this person should not be an ordinary person, plus the temptation of one or two silver, he makes a gesture of invitation, and then leads the way in front of him.
After they entered the hall on the first floor of the restaurant, the second child didn't lead them up the stairs on the second floor, but came to the end from a corridor on the side.There's a door at the end of this one.
The shopkeeper knocked on the door.
The shutter opened half way, and a head emerged from the inside. He asked in a low voice, "what's the matter? "
the shopkeeper whispered a few words in this person's ear.
The people in the door came out.
I saw that this man was a thin man. He looked at the two people who were brought by the shop boy and said coldly: "two of you, come with me. "
when they walked into the room, they saw that the room was empty, nothing but a few chairs and tables.
On its right there is a staircase, carpeted.
The respectful man left the sedan chair up and down the stairs waiting for them.
It turns out that this is the secret channel for the restaurant owner to receive private guests on the second floor.
Climbing up the stairs, you can see that there is a unique cave on it. It is spacious and well decorated. There are a lot of cultural relics and antiques in the house, and the calligraphy and paintings of life are hanging on the wall.
There were two people sitting in the room. When they saw the people coming up, they got up from their chairs in a hurry and said, "father-in-law Dong, our father and son have been waiting for you for a long time. "
it turned out that Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, came to the restaurant secretly.
And here they are waiting for the prime minister Ding Daquan and his only son Ding song.
"Mr. Ding, it's very difficult to enter the restaurant. The servants at the door heard that I was going to come here, but they almost didn't want me to come in. "Dong songchen said.
Ding Daquan was surprised and said, "what, is there such a thing? "
after that, he scolded Ding song around him and said," how did you explain to the servants? How dare they stop the presence of Mr. Dong? It's really unreasonable! "
" Dad, it's all because the child didn't arrange it. "Ding song explained.
Then he gave a deep salute to Dong songchen and said: "Mr. Dong, please forgive me. I will punish these servants who don't have eyes. "
Dong songchen laughs and says," nephew Ding Xian, you are so polite. In fact, I was just joking with you just now. In order to keep it secret, I should do this. Otherwise, I will let your father and I know. What's more?
"you are very relieved to hear that. "
this Ding Song said:" Mr. Dong, you are chatting with my father, the banquet is ready, and my nephew will not accompany you. "
after that, he saluted Dong songchen again and got up and went down the stairs.
After Ding let go, Ding Daquan asked Dong songchen to sit beside him.
After pouring two glasses of wine, he picked up one and said, "come on, Mr. Dong, let's drink this together. "
" Oh, I'm so sorry to bother Mr. Ding Xiangye to pour wine for me. I really don't deserve it. " Dongsongchen will cup up, polite way.
After that, he drank the glass of wine.
Ding Daquan praised: "Mr. Dong is a good drinker."
"That is to say, when I see you, Mr. Ding Xiang, I don't drink at all on weekdays." Dong songchen said.
Ding Daquan said with a smile: "after I received the news from father-in-law Dong in the mansion, I did not dare to delay, but immediately arrived at Xiao er'er here."
"We haven't found a suitable place to talk about it in detail for a long time, have we?" Dong songchen asked.
"Father in law, you are always with you. You are very busy. In general, I dare not ask my father-in-law to come out to meet you." Ding Daquan explained.
Dong songchen said: "Mr. Ding, you and I are old friends for many years. We only cherish each other. Why do you need to explain?"
"Do you know, Mr. Ding Xiang, after today's court meeting broke up, the emperor secretly recruited Jia Sidao into the Imperial Palace and had a secret exchange for a long time. Later, Jia Sidao went to his sister, the princess Jia, and stayed for a long time." Dong songchen continued.
Ding Daquan was surprised and said, "what, I really don't know the truth."
"Do you know what they talked about, Mr. Dong?" Ding Daquan then asked eagerly.
Dong songchen replied: "the Emperor didn't ask me to summon him at all. When they were talking, they were two people present. Other people were not close to each other. Naturally, they didn't know what they were talking about."
"It's said that Princess Jia is pregnant recently. Is it related to this?" Ding Daquan.
Dong songchen said: "in my opinion, this is only one of the things, and there is another thing that is related to the things above the court today."
"Yes, from today's meaning of the Holy One, the Holy One should advocate peace with Mongolia in the north, otherwise, the holy one will not defend that jiasidao." Ding Daquan.
"After that, he sighed and said: the prime minister doesn't understand. The territory occupied by Mongolia is the territory of the Song Dynasty. The emperor is the emperor of the Song Dynasty. The territory and the people belong to him. Is the emperor willing to give these to the Mongols?" Ding Daquan was puzzled again.Dong songchen said, "Mr. Ding Xiang, you still don't know the saint of today."
"Please tell me about it, Mr. Dong." Ding Daquan.
When Dong songchen said, "I'll tell you a secret today?"
"What's the secret?" Ding Daquan asked curiously.
Dong songchen replied, "I'm responsible for taking care of the Holy One. Sometimes the holy one wakes up from sleep."
"Do you know why the Lord wakes from his sleep?" Dong songchen said.
Ding Daquan asked, "why?"
"In his dream, the emperor dreamed that the cavalry of the northern kingdom came after him and killed him in Lin'an City. From this, you can see how terrible the emperor is to Mongolia in the north. Now you want him to unite with the western countries to deal with Mongolia, he must not be happy in his heart." Dong answered.
Ding Daquan said: "but, Mr. Dong, now Jia Sidao advocates uniting Mongolia and negotiating peace with them. Why can't he go with him?"
"Yes, you have your own difficulties, but you know you can't do it. "Dong songchen said.
Ding Daquan said, "up to now, Mr. Dong, what do you think the prime minister should do?"
"what can you do? Can you still teach me with your wisdom? "Song Chen asked.
Ding Daquan a little embarrassed smile, said: "Hey, there is a way, but also need your cooperation. "
Dong songchen asked," come on, my prime minister. "
"In fact, my idea was said by the court. On the surface, it was who supported the cooperation with the Mongolians, that is, betraying the Song Dynasty. I thought that the present emperor would not let his subjects know that he wanted to make peace with the Mongolians, otherwise, he would not let Jia Sidao rush ahead. "Ding Daquan replied.
Dong songchen said: "white, prime minister, you are asking me to mention this matter in front of the emperor, so that he can retreat."
"Of course, that's not enough. "Ding Daquan.
After that, Ding Daquan began to discuss with Dong songchen in a low voice.
Dong songchen said, "it's all a crime of beheading, master Ding. "
" Mr. Dong, you are wrong. You know, we are trying to prevent the present Saint from doing something wrong, but we are loyal to the saint. One day, the present saint will understand our painstaking efforts as ministers. "Ding Daquan explained.
Dong songchen also seemed to have some understanding, and said: "Mr. Ding Xiang, you are right. Sometimes, for the sake of the Song Dynasty, we have to be in a hurry to exercise power."
"Mr. Dong, if you think so, I'll be relieved." Daquandao.
Dong songchen drank another glass of wine and said, "by the way, when I came here, Princess Yan ordered me to bring a letter."
After that, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Prime Minister Ding.
After seeing this, Prime Minister Ding said, "father-in-law, please go back and tell your concubine and empress what's going on. Please don't worry. I will try my best to promote it."
"That's great. I'll thank you for your help." Dong songchen said.
