Emperor LiZong wanted to choose his only daughter, Princess Rui, for his son-in-law. Jia Sidao, the prime minister, soon found out.

When his cronies told the news to Prime Minister Jia Sidao, Prime Minister Jia did not believe it was true.

Moreover, according to the previous situation, Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty would definitely discuss such an important matter with himself in advance, but this time, instead of having it, he arranged his old rival Ding Daquan to take charge of it, which was quite unexpected.

Here, the princess is his niece, Jia Sidao's mother's concubine. Jia Guifei didn't talk to her in advance.

When Jia Sidao thought of this, he began to murmur in his heart: "is it his son Jia Sichang who secretly took Princess Rui out of the palace? The emperor and his concubine are still angry with him, and even don't trust him."

For him, this is a big thing, Jia Sidao felt that he had lost the opportunity, but he was not reconciled.

Jia Sidao asked the officials in his prime minister's house to invite Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of household.

After Jia Shangchen came to the place where Zhang Sihong and his housekeeper lived.

"Yes, do you have anything important to discuss? "Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, after saluting Jia, sat down and asked.

Jia Sidao asked: "Mr. Zhang, do you know that the emperor wants to make public the selection of his son-in-law for Princess Rui? "

" well, I really don't know. "Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, replied.

Prime Minister Jia Sidao said: "even the prime minister just knew about it. If you don't know, no wonder. "

" Xiaguan once said to Xiangye that the princess always wanted to marry her Princess Rui to Xiangye's son-in-law, and the Emperor didn't object to this matter. Why did you suddenly recruit a son-in-law? "Zhang Yihong, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

Jia Sidao certainly won't say it's because his son Jia Sichang and Princess Rui went out privately.

He said: "the affairs in the palace have bypassed the prime minister. It must be Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the grand interior, who is secretly making trouble. Otherwise, this kind of thing will not happen. "

in fact, Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, also heard about the affair that Princess Rui and Jia Sichang slipped out.

It's just that the prime minister Jia Sidao didn't say this. In order to take care of the face of the prime minister Jia Sidao, he didn't take the initiative to bring this matter up.

Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, followed the words of prime minister Jia Sidao and said: "prime minister, the eunuch Dong songchen, the head of the Imperial Palace, has been working against you with nading Daquan. It's normal for him to do such a thing this time. "

" you are right. This dog Castrator has always been the enemy of Benxiang. Ben Xiang wanted to clean him up for a long time. However, he failed to achieve his goal. Unexpectedly, he let him plot against me again. "The way of the eunuch Dong songchen, the head of the imperial palace.

Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of finance, hastily comforted Jia as if he were saying, "Mr. Xiang, in fact, you don't have to be angry. It's not impossible for you to get this thing back with your present power in the court. "

" I'm here to hear your thoughts. "The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, Dong songchen, said.

Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, said: "since the person in charge of this matter is Ding Daquan, we also need to insert a person into it."

"You mean .？ "Asked Jia Sidao.

Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, replied: "Mr. Xiang, you can go to see the emperor. He said that this matter is too important. This Ding Daquan has not worked in the court for a long time. Now when he takes over such an important matter, it is inevitable that he will take care of one thing and lose the other. In order to carry on this matter smoothly, you can recommend the next official to help that Ding Daquan deal with this matter. "

" Mr. Zhang, your idea is really good. "After hearing this, Jia Sidao patted the table and said.

Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, said: "Mr. Xiang, you flatter me. I just want to tell you whether this method will work or not. In fact, I'm not sure. "

" anyway, we can't let Dong songchen succeed. "Jia is like Tao.

Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, said: "don't worry, Mr. Xiang. As long as you can let me take part in this matter, I'm sure that I won't let Dong songchen succeed. "

" well, Mr. Zhang, you can rest assured that you can help Ding Daquan to take charge of the recruitment of his son-in-law. The prime minister is sure to make your wish come true. "Jia Sidao is full of confidence.

Then he separated himself from Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, and took a sedan chair to the palace to meet the great emperor LiZong of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty was watching a play in the imperial garden accompanied by Dong songchen.

Emperor LiZong was sitting on a high place, and from a long distance he saw the prime minister Jia Sidao coming.

He said to Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the University: "Mr. Dong, Jia Aiqing is here. Go and meet him. "Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, also saw the arrival of prime minister Jia Sidao, but he deliberately pretended not to see him. After hearing the words of emperor LiZong of the Song Dynasty, he had no choice, so he agreed and went to meet the prime minister Jia Sidao.

After seeing the prime minister Jia Sidao, Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, said to his androgynous voice: "Congratulations, Mr. Jia Xiangye. "

" where does happiness come from? " Jia Sidao asked.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the grand internal affairs, replied, "don't you pretend that the princess of Rui kingdom is going to recruit her son-in-law soon. You are his uncle. Isn't this a great event?"

"Haha, it's a great joy!" Jia Sidao replied with a smile.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, said: "speaking of this matter, Mr. Jia Xiang, you still have to thank our manager!"

"Manager Dong, what do you mean by that?" Asked Prime Minister Jia Sidao.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, laughs and answers: "Mr. Jia Xiang, the matter that Princess Rui publicly recruited his son-in-law is suggested by our director. As the elder of Princess Rui, you should thank our director. That's not right."

"Thank you. I will thank you very much when I look back." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, certainly recognized the meaning of Jia Sidao's words.

Instead of talking about it, he changed the topic and said, "Mr. Jia Xiang, the officials see that you are here, so they specially ask our manager to meet you!"

"That's Mr. Dong." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, made a gesture of invitation and said, "Mr. Jia Xiang, please come with me."

When the emperor came to see the play, he said, "the emperor did not have to sit down with me."

Jia Sidao came here for the sake of Princess Rui's recruitment of his son-in-law.

However, when he came, the emperor li Zong asked him to sit down to watch the opera. Although Jia Sidao was worried, he did not dare to disturb him when he saw that the emperor li Zong was in high spirits. He sat aside to watch the opera according to the emperor li Zong's instructions.

As always, no matter what the occasion is, as long as the Prime Minister of Jia Sidao comes, Emperor LiZong will definitely ask if there is anything wrong with Jia Sidao.

However, today, the emperor of LiZong did not ask this question at all.

Instead, he frequently discussed the content of the play with Prime Minister Jia Sidao.

Although Jia Sidao was worried, he had to patiently discuss these with emperor LiZong.

It took nearly an hour and a half to finish the play.

Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty asked Jia Yu, "Jia Aiqing, it's time for dinner. Do you want to have dinner with me?"

"It's my pleasure to have dinner with your majesty. Of course I will." Jia Sidao replied.

Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty ordered: "Duke Dong, hurry to pass on the dinner."

Then he got up and took Prime Minister Jia Sidao to the main hall where he had dinner.

Soon, Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, prepared the dinner for the palace ladies.

Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty seems to be in a very good mood today. He took two bites of several dishes he usually liked.

After taking two mouthfuls, he asked Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the grand interior, to reward the dishes to Prime Minister Jia Sidao. He said that he was too hard to deal with the official affairs of the imperial court, so he asked him to eat more.

Jia Sidao did not know what path the emperor LiZong took today, so he forced himself to smile and express his thanks.

After dinner, Emperor LiZong yawned and asked Jia Sidao to kneel down.

Seeing this, Jia Sidao said in a hurry: "the Lord, I still have something to play."

"Jia Aiqing, you have something to do. Why didn't you say it earlier?" Emperor LiZong seemed very surprised.

After hearing this, Prime Minister Jia Sidao said, "I want to say it, but you didn't give me this chance."

Emperor LiZong also said, "Jia Aiqing, I was going to bed, but I heard that you have something to play, so I will have a rest."

"It's really my fault to affect your Majesty's rest." Jia Sidao apologized in a hurry.

Then he asked, "if your majesty needs to go to bed, I will go to the Palace tomorrow and play again?"

"No, it must be very important for you, Prime Minister Jia. Just say it quickly." Emperor Li Zong of the great song dynasty.

Jia Sidao said immediately, "Your Majesty, I came to the palace for the sake of Princess Rui."

"Oh, that's the thing." Then he asked, "Jia Aiqing, I know you have too many things on weekdays, so I didn't tell you about it."

"Your Majesty, when I enter the palace to see you, I want to recommend a person to take charge of the public recruitment of Prince Rui." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.

Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty said: "Jia Aiqing, you may not know that Duke Dong has recommended Ding Daquan to take charge of this matter, and Jia Feier is also present. She thinks it is feasible."Of course, Jia Sidao knows about this.

But when he knew that the news was secretly inquired by his confidants, he could only pretend not to know.

Jia Sidao said: "since you have settled down, I have nothing to say."

"Then I will recommend a person for your majesty to help Mr. Ding deal with this matter." Jia Sidao said again and again.

After hearing this, Emperor LiZong said, "this ..。”

At this time, Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, who was standing beside the emperor LiZong, was a little worried and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think what Jia Xiangye played is necessary."

"Manager Dong, why is it unnecessary?" Asked Prime Minister Jia Sidao.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, replied: "Mr. Ding used to be one of the prime ministers of our song dynasty. He can handle so many national affairs. Although the affairs of Princess Rui are important, with Mr. Ding's ability, there is absolutely no problem."

"Mr. Dong, today is different from the past. In the past, Mr. nading was able to do it, but it doesn't mean he can do it now." Jia Sidao retorted.

Then he asked emperor LiZong, "Your Majesty, I remember that there are rules in the Song Dynasty. People in the harem are not allowed to do politics, are they?"

"There is such a rule." The emperor of Song Dynasty hesitated for a moment and replied.

The prime minister Jia Sidao said, "is the words of manager Dong a little suspected of interfering in the government?"

"Mr. Jia Xiang, the year of Princess Rui is an old slave. Look, I grew up here. How can the old slave interfere in the government when he recruits a son-in-law for her?" Asked Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the University.

Then he asked, "are you going too far?"

"Since ancient times, if the government interferes with the country, it will only endanger the future." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, said: "Mr. Jia Xiang, don't always sensationalize people. Our manager has not interfered in the government. We can't afford your big hat."

In the end, the more fierce the quarrel, the worse it was.

Emperor LiZong was a little reluctant to go on, so he said, "well, don't quarrel between you two. I have my own opinion."

After thinking about it, he said, "well, what Jia Aiqing said is quite reasonable. Ding Daquan is in charge of the matter of Princess Rui's recruiting her son-in-law, and the person recommended by Jia will help."

"Your Majesty, you are so wise. I support your decision." Jia Sidao said happily.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, was a little unhappy, but he was also afraid that the prime minister Jia Sidao would stare at him and say that he interfered in the government, so he did not dare to say anything more.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, said: "in any case, Ding Daquan is the main operator in the recruitment of the prince in law. Jia Sidao's people just help. Generally speaking, Dong songchen has the upper hand."

"Well, since you don't have any opinions, that's all right. I'm tired and I'm going to bed." Emperor Li Zong of the great song dynasty.
