"You want to shake hands with me and make peace?" After hearing Ding Daquan's words, Jia Sidao asked in a suspicious tone.
Ding Daquan replied, "of course, I'm sincere this time."
"To tell you the truth, I was with the queen before I came to your house." Ding Daquan went on and said.
At this time, Prime Minister Jia Sidao felt a little shaken in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.
He said calmly: "so what? Queen Xie is the head of the harem. She asked you to inquire about the princess's son-in-law. It's natural and normal. "
seeing that Prime Minister Jia Sidao was still silent, Ding Daquan began to make a lot of predictions.
He said: "today, there is only such a daughter as Princess Rui, the emperor's son-in-law can only choose one person. If Xie Feixuan, the nephew of empress Xie, is elected, then Jia Xiang and you, Mr. Jia, will have nothing to do."
"If you say this to Benxiang, you are not afraid that Benxiang will say these words to Queen Xie?" Asked Prime Minister Jia Sidao.
After hearing this, Ding Daquan laughed and said, "if you are disrespectful to Jia Xiang, if you go to say this to empress Xie, you are a fool."
For so many years, no one has ever dared to say that he is a fool in front of his face.
After hearing this, Jia Sidao couldn't help it any more and said, "brother Daquan, you've gone a little too far."
"Not at all." Ding Daquan.
Jia Sidao pointed to Ding Daquan and said angrily, "you..."
"Well, since Jia Xiang is willing to give up the position of the son-in-law to empress Xie's nephew, I have nothing to say." Ding Daquan.
Then he got up and left.
Seeing that Ding Daquan was about to leave, Jia Sidao was in a bit of a hurry. He quickly stretched out his hand and said, "brother Daquan, wait a minute."
"Why, can't you, Jia Xiang, just want to detain me in your prime minister's office after I've said a few straight words?" Ding Daquan turned and asked Prime Minister Jia Sidao.
Prime Minister Jia Sidao became polite at this time.
He got up from the chair he was sitting in, took Ding Daquan's hand and said, "Daquan, brother, look at you. What are you doing in such a hurry? You and my brother have been working together for decades. How can the prime minister treat you like this?"
"Besides, brother Daquan, you are the person appointed by the emperor to preside over the invitation of Princess Rui to his son-in-law. I dare not detain brother Daquan even if I have the courage." Jia Sidao, the prime minister, said again.
Ding Daquan saw that Prime Minister Jia Sidao was already a little soft, and his strict words were not so fierce. He said: "this is almost the same."
"Brother Daquan, please have a seat. We can discuss everything between our brothers." Prime Minister Jia Sidao personally helped Ding Daquan to sit on the chair again. He was very polite.
He called out to the door again, "come on, good tea!"
If the prime minister Jia Sidao orders, the servants will bring good fragrant tea soon.
After tasting it, Ding Daquan said, "Jia Xiang, this tea is better than the one I served when I came just now. I don't know how many times."
"It's all due to the fact that those dead slaves in Benxiang's residence are too incompetent to do everything. When I come back to Benxiang's residence, I must teach them a good lesson." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.
What Prime Minister Jia Sidao said is not true. In fact, when he did so, he deliberately humiliated his former opponent. For prime minister Jia Sidao, it was a very happy thing.
Of course, these big powers are also well aware, but he doesn't want to expose them. After all, they have common interests now.
Ding Daquan said: "you, Jia Xiang, are under one person and above ten thousand people in Our Song Dynasty. It's very normal for the slaves to look down on others."
These words seem to be scolding the servants in the prime minister's residence, but actually they are alluding to the prime minister.
Prime Minister Jia Sidao said, "brother Daquan, you are right."
"But then again, it's normal. When Daquan brother was your prime minister, other people wanted to enter your Ding mansion, and the servants at the door were arrogant!" Prime Minister Jia Sidao changed his tone for a moment and said again.
Seeing that Jia Sidao began to refute himself and expose his own shortcomings, Ding Daquan said, "OK, Jia Xiang, I've told you at that meeting that we'll work together from now on, and we'll not do anything to expose each other's shortcomings."
The prime minister Jia Sidao said, "brother Daquan, you are right."
"There must be conditions for you to help the prime minister, right? "Premier Jia Sidao asked again.
After hearing this, Ding Daquan replied, "happy, I like to deal with a straightforward person like Jia Xiang. "
" brother Daquan, why don't you say it in a hurry. "Prime minister Jia.
Ding Daquan replied: "Jia Xiang, it's really nostalgic for you to recall the days when you worked together and assisted the emperor together.""I see what you mean." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.
The prime minister Jia Sidao suddenly changed his face and asked coldly, "brother Daquan, you have a little too much appetite, don't you?"
"Jia Xiang, look at what you say. You know, if the son-in-law is taken as a concubine, you will lose your adult. Compared with what you get, Jia Xiang, you have not suffered any loss." Ding Daquan.
The biggest obstacle for Ding Daquan to resume his post as prime minister is Jia Sidao.
At the beginning, the biggest black hand who pushed him down from the position of prime minister was Prime Minister Jia Sidao. Now it's really a bit difficult for him to want Prime Minister Jia Sidao to turn around and say nothing about resuming the post of prime minister Ding Daquan.
After all, no one wants to ruin what they try to do.
Prime Minister Jia Sidao said, "brother Daquan, if this man is too greedy and eats too much, he will die."
"Don't worry. I have a good appetite. As long as I eat it, I can digest it." Ding Daquan.
After hearing this, Prime Minister Jia Sidao said, "in that case, we have a deal."
"If you want it, we will be a family from now on." Ding Daquan.
Prime Minister Jia Sidao shook his head and said, "no, we can't be a family. After the cooperation, we will never owe each other."
"It's up to you." The way that Ding Daquan didn't like.
Then he got up and left Jia Sidao's mansion.
While Jia Sidao sat on the chair and watched Ding Daquan leave. Instead of getting up to deliver, he picked up the teacup next to his desk and threw it on the ground.
Hearing the sound of a cup falling from the inner room, the officials in Jia's house came in quickly, bowed and asked, "what's the matter with you, Mr. Xiang? Is it that the old man Ding Daquan is rude to you?"
"Go away, dead slave, who let you in? I don't know the rules!" The Prime Minister of Jia Sidao was worried that he had no place to spread his anger. Seeing Jia Zhong come in and ask himself, he began to curse.
Naturally, Jia Zhong didn't dare to be stubborn. He immediately said, "yes, yes "Prime minister."
He stepped back from the inside room.
At this time, Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the household department, came out from behind the screen of the room.
First, he bent down to pick up the broken tea cups one by one. Then he sat down on one side of the chair and said, "Mr. Xiang, I heard your conversation with Ding Daquan behind the screen just now."
"You don't have to be angry." Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of accounts, went on and said.
Prime Minister Jia Sidao asked: "Zhang Shangshu, if you encounter such a thing, can you not be angry?"
"It's actually a good thing." Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, did not answer Jia Sidao's question, instead, he said, "yes.".
Jia sidaozai asked: "Zhang Shangshu, how can this become a good thing?"
"what good did Ding Daquan give you?" Jia Sidao then asked.
Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, saw that the Prime Minister of Jia Sidao was a little impatient, and immediately explained: "well, Mr. Xiang, you think about it. According to the normal situation, if other people, such as the lower officials, presided over the assembly of the emperor's son-in-law alone, and your son-in-law was selected, someone would say that it was all controlled by Mr. Xiang."
"But now it's different. It's Ding Daquan who presides over the selection of the son-in-law this time. People all over the world know that Ding Daquan is your dead enemy. At that time, if your son-in-law becomes the son-in-law, no one will criticize him that day." Then, Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the household department, said again.
After hearing this explanation, Jia Sidao turned his anger into joy and said, "Zhang Shangshu, there's nothing wrong with what you said. No one would have thought that Ding Daquan, the prime minister's nemesis, would be on the prime minister's side this time."
"That is, say, still mutually Ye you are fierce, even the opponent in the past is willing to serve for you." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs.
Jia Sidao, the prime minister, sighed and said, "ah, this is a compromise in exchange for the post of prime minister."
"Prime minister, it doesn't matter if Ding Daquan becomes prime minister again." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs.
"What's the matter with the prime minister?" he asked
"You have been ousted from the prime minister's office for several years, but you can't be removed from the prime minister's position." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, replied.
The prime minister Jia Sidao worried: "that's what I say. I'm afraid that after Ding Daquan's post is restored, it will be difficult to pull him down from the post of prime minister."
"Prime minister, you can rest assured that, with our strength, since we can handle him once, we can handle him twice." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs.
Prime Minister Jia Sidao said, "it's easy to say this, but it's not easy to do it. Prime Minister Ben and Ding Daquan have been fighting in the court for decades, but it's not long before they finally pull this man down. I'm going to invite him back."Knowing this, Jia Sidao must be unhappy.
Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, said: "empress Xie is very kind to Princess Jia and Xiangye. She is also very kind. I didn't expect that she has her own small abacus."
"Zhang Shangshu, you know that empress Xie is very good at it. Some time ago, the empress of your concubine was sent to the sea by Yan Guifei, and she secretly helped her. Afterwards, she recognized me as her brother. From now on, it's all paving the way for today's affairs, so that the prime minister and Princess Jia can relax their vigilance against empress Xie." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.
Zhang Yihong, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, said: "however, we are not afraid of the fact that empress Xie is against you. When the imperial concubine gives birth to the prince, we will contact all the ministers in the imperial court, so that the present emperor can abolish empress Xie and make her the Queen of the Song Dynasty."
Let his sister Jia Guifei become the queen of the Song Dynasty, this is what Jia Sidao always wants to do.
But the empress Xie was appointed by the Empress Dowager of the great song dynasty. For a while, when the great song dynasty was ruled by filial piety, no one dared to say that.
In addition, Xie Huang used to treat Jia Sidao's brother and sister very well. Even if Jia Sidao wanted to run this business, she didn't want to.
Now, when Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of household, first mentioned this matter for the sake of selecting the emperor's son-in-law in the Song Dynasty, the prime minister Jia Sidao had this idea in his heart.
However, the prime minister Jia Sidao did not reveal his inner thoughts. Instead, he retorted: "Zhang Shangshu, you can't talk nonsense. You know, the queen can't be easily dethroned."
"Hehe, Mr. Xiang, what are you afraid of? It's natural that this matter should be raised. After all, according to the rules of the Song Dynasty, if Princess Jia only gives birth to a prince for the emperor, it's the prince, and the mother of the prince is the queen of course." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs.
Prime Minister Jia Sidao said, "that's what I said, but after all, before the Queen's downfall, I still can't openly fall out with queen Xie."
"Of course, it's not that Xiaguan and Xiangye are discussing this matter in private here. If it's on other occasions, Xiaguan won't say it." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs.
After hearing these words, Prime Minister Jia Sidao nodded and said, "Zhang Shangshu, if you can do this, the prime minister will be relieved."
"Mr. Xiang, it's not that I'm bragging. If I can't think of this, I can't be the Secretary of the Ministry of household in the Song Dynasty." Zhang Yihong said.
Jia Sidao saw that Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the household department, was a little proud, so he didn't want to go on talking with him.
He said, "Zhang Shangshu, if you have nothing else to do, go and help yourself."
Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, knew what Jia Sidao meant.
So, he got up, saluted Prime Minister Jia Sidao, and left his residence.
After Jia Sidao saw Zhang Yihong leave, he didn't get up. Instead, he called out and let Jia Zhong, the housekeeper of the prime minister's house, come in .。
