When Jia Sidao arrived at the palace, he saw emperor LiZong reading a Book leisurely and contentedly, while Mr. Wen Tianxiang stood aside respectfully.
He immediately knelt down on the ground and said: "I see your majesty, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
However, Emperor LiZong was still concentrating on reading and ignored it.
The emperor did not speak, Jia Sidao did not understand what this meant, so he had to kneel on the ground and did not dare to get up.
Standing on one side, Dong songchen was really puzzled and said, "Jia Sidao is deeply favored by the emperor. Now she is seriously injured. Even if the mission has an accident, the emperor is angry and shouldn't let him kneel for so long."
After a while, the emperor put down his book and looked down. He pretended to be surprised and asked, "ah, Jia Aiqing, why are you kneeling all the time? Get up quickly."
After listening to this, Jia Sidao was unable to laugh or cry. He said in his heart, "you are the emperor and I am the minister. If you don't let me get up, do I dare to get up?"
After listening to Emperor LiZong's words, Jia Sidao got up from the ground.
Because of kneeling too long, his legs feel a little numb. I almost couldn't get up.
Emperor LiZong asked Wen Tianxiang, "Wen Aiqing, have you invited the person you invited?"
"Your Majesty, I have arrived. I am waiting for your call in the side hall." Mr. Wen Tianxiang replied in a hurry.
Emperor LiZong said, "what are you waiting for? Let him come in."
When Dong songchen was asked, Emperor LiZong had no one here except Lord Wen Tianxiang, but now he heard that there were still people in the side hall, so he muttered in his heart: "this is definitely not Ding Daquan. If it was him, he should have been here long ago. If he could be invited to the side hall to wait, he should have a high status, but he didn't know where he was sacred."
It wasn't long before I saw that Mr. Wen Tianxiang invited a young man dressed as a scholar from the side hall.
When he came near, Jia Sidao could not help but be surprised that he knew this man. When this man went to Huangshan to celebrate the birthday of old leader Xin Ran under the orders of today's emperor, he once met Xin Youxuan, the only son of old leader Xin Ran.
Few people know about Xin Youxuan's arrival in Lin'an. Jia Sidao has been active outside the Great Wall since he became a Taoist priest. How can he be here today?
this is really a strange thing. "
Xin Youxuan came to the throne of emperor LiZong and knelt down on the ground,
he said:" long live, long live, Cao Min Xin Youxuan has seen our emperor. "
"Don't be polite, younger brother Xin. The former Emperor and your father had a lot of friendship in the past. In terms of seniority, you are my brother, and I am your brother, so you don't have to call yourself a grass-roots man!" Emperor LiZong said politely.
Xinyouxuan listen to Emperor LiZong said so, quickly and politely said: "this grass people dare to call you brother, you are today's emperor."
"Since brother Huang thinks I am the son of heaven, he should obey my will and call me brother Huang." Li Zong emperor road.
Then emperor LiZong ordered Dong songchen to come to the chair and asked Xin Youxuan to sit down,
politely said: "brother Xin, the Xin family still has a very close relationship with our song dynasty. At the beginning, your grandfather Xin Qiji was an official of the Song Dynasty. He was born to fight for the restoration of the Song Dynasty, and your father once fought for the resistance of the Jin Dynasty Running is that I can sit on the river and mountain, and your father also contributes a lot. I wanted to use him again, but unfortunately your father is addicted to the river and lake and has no interest in being above the temple. Otherwise, there will be another pillar minister in Song Dynasty. "
" Your Majesty is really over praised. You can be a country or a mountain, which is decided by the former Emperor, plus your wisdom. "Xin Youxuan said.
When Jia Sidao heard emperor LiZong's praise for Xin Youxuan, he also said: Your Majesty,
your younger brother, Wei Chen, met you when he was celebrating the birthday of Xin Ran's old hero on Huangshan Mountain in the past. At that time, Wei Chen thought your younger brother was outstanding. Sure enough, I heard that he had made a great reputation in recent years, even the Mongolian Khan called him brother.
This is to praise Xin Youxuan, but also to remind emperor LiZong that Xin Youxuan is a friend of Mongolian people, so he is not reliable.
Emperor LiZong ignored Jia Sidao's words, but asked, "Jia Aiqing, what do you want the Mongolian envoys to do in your prime minister's residence in the middle of the night?"
Jia Sidao was stunned and said, "how can you ask me this? When you came to visit me that day, you didn't have a tacit understanding. Now, what do you mean?"
But when I think about it, I understand that the emperor asked this question, just because he wanted to let Jia Sidao bear the responsibility.
Thinking of this, Jia Sidao bowed himself and said, "Wei Chen is guilty. I blame Wei Chen for not arranging this matter well, which leads to something wrong with the Mongolian mission.""Jia Aiqing, don't say whether you are guilty or not, just answer my question directly." The cold way of emperor lengzong.
Jia Sidao replied: "this minister has been injured recently, but he has been worried about what to talk about with Mongolia. When he was a little better last night, he wanted to summon Mongolian envoys immediately to see their attitude."
"But Mr. Xiang, it was late in the night. It was a matter of fairness for you to summon the Mongolian mission. Why did you do it at that time?" Mr. Wen Tianxiang asked.
"Jia Yidao said: I say, Lord Wen, what do you mean? What do you mean? The prime minister is responsible for talking with Mongolia? It is approved by the emperor. When do you need your approval Jia Sidao asked.
Wen Tianxiang said: "but Mr. Jia Xiang, because you called the Mongolian mission in the middle of the night, the Mongolian Deputy envoy Yang lianzhenjia was seriously injured, and the Mongolian general Boyan was injured. If Mr. Xin didn't arrive in time, they would have died on the spot. If the Mongolian envoy died in the Song Dynasty, who would you go to talk peace with at that time At that time, the handle of the knife is everywhere. Can you bear the responsibility? "
"Haha, the prime minister is responsible for peace talks with the Mongolian envoys. You, Mr. Wen, are now the Minister of the Ministry of punishment of the Song Dynasty. The poor public security of Lin'an road is caused by your poor governance. Otherwise, there will be no assassins who assassinate the Mongolian mission many times. It's all your responsibility. How can you rely on Mr. Wen instead? It's really unreasonable." Jia Sidao retorted.
Then Jia Sidao said to Emperor LiZong, "holy Lord, you have to be the master of Wei Chen. You see, this man has only returned to Lin'an for a few days. So for Wei Chen, you should know that his position as Minister of punishment is still recommended by Wei Chen."
"You know how to argue as soon as you have state affairs. You really don't have the demeanor of a minister." Li Zong emperor road.
Then he asked Wen Tianxiang, "Wen Aiqing, I've been in charge of the Ministry of punishment for some time, right
"Your Majesty is right. It's been a while." Mr. Wen Tianxiang replied.
Emperor LiZong asked, "what progress have you made so far?"
"This ..。”
After listening to Emperor LiZong's question, Lord Wen Tianxiang was really hard to answer. To tell you the truth, since they took over the case with Zheng Huchen, they really didn't find any powerful clues.
So, he immediately knelt down on the ground, replied: "please be holy, I am very ashamed, up to now, this case is really no progress."
"Get up!" Emperor LiZong listened to the words of Lord Wen Tianxiang. He did not blame him, but told him to get up.
This is actually saying to Mr. Wen Tianxiang, look, you wen Aiqing is also wrong, but I am tolerant and don't care about you, so you don't want the teacher to hold on to Jia Aiqing's pigtails.
When Lord Wen Tianxiang stood up, he had nothing to say.
Seeing this situation, Emperor LiZong said: "since the Mongolian mission came to Lin'an in the Song Dynasty, the city of Lin'an has not been peaceful. Your memorials are all done by people in the Jianghu. Your captors and soldiers really have some difficulty in dealing with these people."
After hearing this, Wen Tianxiang quickly bowed himself and said, "thank you for your understanding."
"That's true. The emperor has nothing to say to his ministers." Jia Sidao seems to be very moved.
Emperor LiZong said, "after thinking about it, you should leave the case of the assassination of the mission alone. I have other arrangements for this case."
"I don't know who the emperor wants to take charge of this case? "Asked Jia Sidao.
Emperor LiZong laughed and asked, "it's up to you, Jia Aiqing. What do you think? "
If Jia Sidao wanted to take charge of this matter, he would not recommend Wen Tianxiang as Minister of the Ministry of punishment.
After listening to LiZong's question, he replied: "if the emperor asks Weichen to do it, then Weichen will fight to do it. "
" OK, don't be embarrassed. I know you don't want to take this hot potato. "Emperor li Zong said.
Emperor LiZong then said, "I think about it. To deal with this person in the river and lake, it's still the person in the river and lake. "
then he said to Xin Youxuan," brother Huang, it seems that this matter will fall on you. "
after listening to Emperor LiZong's arrangement, Lord Wen Tianxiang's view of emperor LiZong has changed:" before, he always thought that emperor LiZong was an emperor who had no independent opinions and was completely controlled by Jia Sidao. But now it seems that the emperor is very good at employing people. Take Xin Youxuan as an example. His father is Jiang Xin Youxuan is the first expert in the lake, and he is very familiar with Mongolian characters and has a high position in the lake. It's very suitable for him to deal with this case. "
in fact, Mr. Wen Tianxiang's judgment is correct. Although Jia Sidao's power is so powerful, it's all given by Emperor LiZong. The real power is still under the control of emperor LiZong.
When Xin Youxuan heard emperor LiZong's words, he was a little surprised. He said, "Your Majesty, I'm new to Lin'an. I'm not familiar with the situation here, and I don't have any experience in handling cases. I'm afraid I can't handle it well. ""Brother Huang, don't give up. I know that you helped the Mongolian Khanate to solve a lot of difficult problems in Mongolia. Now that we have something to do in the Song Dynasty, you should not step forward. "Emperor LiZong advised.
Xin Youxuan said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the great Song Dynasty, I will spare no effort to break my body to pieces. But I'm afraid that I will delay your Majesty's great event, so it's not beautiful. "
" I believe in your ability. Your father, the old leader Xin, once cracked a strange case in the palace of Lin'an in the Song Dynasty. You are the son of the old leader Xin Ran. As the saying goes, tiger father has no dog son! "Emperor li Zong said.
After that, Emperor LiZong took a look at Mr. Wen Tianxiang.
Mr. Wen Tianxiang, knowing this, advised him: "Mr. Xin, since the emperor is optimistic about you, it's really appropriate for you to deal with this case. You can accept it. You can rest assured that in the process of dealing with the case, if there is anything, the lower official will support you with all his strength. "
" well, Wen Aiqing's case originally belongs to the category of your Ministry of punishment. Of course, your Ministry of punishment has to help my emperor's younger brother. "Emperor li Zong said.
"Then he said to Xin Youxuan: brother Huang, I appoint you as the special envoy to solve the case of the mission, and I will give you a gold medal. You can mobilize any people in Lin'an to investigate anyone, including those in the imperial palace. Are you satisfied? "Asked emperor LiZong.
In this case, Xin Youxuan could not even refuse. He got up, bowed to Emperor LiZong, and said: "in this case, the emperor, the grass people will be reluctant to do it. They just explained in advance that if the grass people can't do it, they should do it for others, and don't delay the important affairs of the imperial court. "
" brother Huang, why do you call yourself Cao min again? Do you not want to recognize me? "Emperor li Zong said.
Xin Youxuan hastily replied: "please forgive me. It's all my brother's fault. I won't do it in the future. It's my honor to be my brother. "
" well, that's right. It would be nice if we were both kings and brothers in the future. "Emperor LiZong said happily.
Xin Youxuan said: "it's just that I'm climbing high. "
as soon as his words were finished, Jia Sidao said:" yes, Mr. Xin, your Xin family is glorious. You have become the emperor's younger brother. How many people dream of it! "
Xin Youxuan didn't like Jia Sidao. When he heard that, he said faintly:" yes, Mr. Jia, you're right. "
then, with a change of tone, he said:" just now, as the special envoy in charge of division and regiment cases, the first person to ask is you. "
" what do you mean, are you doubting the truth? "After hearing Xin Youxuan's question, Jia Sidao asked angrily.
Emperor LiZong heard that Xin Youxuan and Jia Sidao had an argument, but he didn't seem to hear it. He said, "OK, OK, I've finished all the things I want to do. If you want to discuss the case, you can go to the next discussion. “
