Hearing someone calling himself, Hao Jing said, "who is this?"
Hao Jing turned around and saw that the person calling him was Jia Zhong of prime minister Jia Sidao's residence.
Housekeeper Jia Zhong came up to him and said with concern, "Mr. Hao, why are you so embarrassed?"
After thinking about his own experience, Hao Jing felt very humiliated and naturally would not tell the housekeeper Jia Zhong clearly.
Hao Jing lied that he had drunk too much. As a result, he lost all his bank notes.
"Mr. Hao, you are a good friend of Mr. Jia Xiangye. Now you follow the villain to our Mr. Jia Xiangye's residence. He will surely make the decision for you. He will catch the thief who stole your banknote while you are drunk and recover it for you." Housekeeper Jia Zhong is very enthusiastic.
Hao Jing would not listen to Jia Zhong's suggestion to go to Jia's residence, but said, "forget it, I don't have much money with me, just a little pocket money. Just steal it."
"Sir, since you say so, the villain will not force you." Jia Zhong is in charge of family affairs.
He took out five hundred taels of silver and said to Hao Jing, "Mr. Hao, villain is just a housekeeper of the prime minister's residence, and his daily income is not much. Since you've met villain, I'll do my best."
"Housekeeper Jia, how can I collect your money?" Hao Jing quickly shirked.
Jia Zhong said, "Mr. Hao, if you are a friend of the villain's master, you are also the villain's master."
"The master is in trouble. We servants should help the master. You are welcome. Please take the silver. If the master of the villain knows that the villain has met Mr. Hao and you have been killed, he will blame you." He added.
Hao Jing said, "in order to avoid housekeeper Jia's punishment, I'll take it."
"Sir, when you go back to the inn, if you have any difficulties, you still need to find villain. Villain will tell Xiangye for you." Jia Zhongdao.
Hao Jing asked the housekeeper Jia Zhong the way back to his inn, and he hurried back.
The entourage who stayed in the inn was very anxious to see that Hao Jing had not come back since he went out last night.
However, they are here to do secret affairs, and they dare not report to the official. They have no choice but to wait in the house.
They were both surprised and delighted to see Hao Jing come back.
The head of the attendant asked, "Mr. Hao, we were all in a hurry when you went there last night."
"Our task has been completed. We've packed up quickly. We'll leave Lin'an immediately." He didn't tell the truth to housekeeper Jia Zhong. Naturally, he didn't tell his servants, just told his followers.
When the servant heard Hao Jing's command, he didn't dare to ask any more, so he went out to pack up.
He was very efficient. Soon, he came in again and told Hao Jing, "Sir, everything is ready."
"Well, let's go!" Hao Jingdao.
Then he went outside.
But his entourage didn't move. Hao Jing asked strangely, "why don't you go?"
"My Lord, Lin'an is a colorful world. Now that things are done, why don't we play here for a few days? Anyway, there is no time limit for us to come to Lin'an." The attendant replied.
This servant followed Hao Jing to Lin'an. First, Hao Jing went to Jia Sidao's residence. Then, he came to the Inn and didn't go out to play.
Naturally, he didn't want to leave Lin'an in such a hurry.
But he didn't like to say it directly, so he deliberately told Hao Jingdao.
After such a big loss in Lin'an, Hao Jing was still in the mood to play here.
Hao Jing said to the attendant: "my Lord is an important minister under the fourth prince. I don't know how many important things we need to deal with in the north. I have spare time to play here."
After listening to this, the servant said to himself, "it's over. It seems that the things we went out to play are in vain."
The servants didn't dare say anything more, so they left Lin'an with Hao Jing and went North .。
Today is the grand meeting of the Song Dynasty.
The eunuch in charge of Da nei, who was standing beside emperor LiZong, had just said that all the ministers were playing, and Jia Sidao, the prime minister, came out of the class and said, "play the sage, the old minister has important things to play."
"Jia Aiqing, you are very positive today." Li Zong emperor road.
He added: "Jia Aiqing, say it."
"The elder minister thought that it was the best time to take back Luoyang. His majesty immediately ordered the troops stationed in Bianliang of Tokyo to march forward and take Luoyang back to the territory of Song Dynasty." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.
Hearing this, not only many ministers in the main hall were surprised, but also emperor LiZong was surprised.
You know, since the imperial court began to talk about the recovery of Luoyang, Prime Minister Jia Sidao has been against the invasion of Luoyang.The prime minister Jia Sidao's change is of course due to the words that Hao Jing, the envoy to the south, said to him.
But these emperor LiZong didn't know the inside story, so he asked Prime Minister Jia Sidao, "Jia Aiqing, if I remember correctly, you didn't have this attitude before?"
"The expedition to Luoyang was a major event in the great song dynasty. At the beginning, my minister was right because he was worried that our failure would lead to an uncontrollable situation." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.
He added: "but in recent days, I have received important news, which has changed my previous view."
"What's the important news?" Emperor LiZong asked.
Prime Minister Jia Sidao replied: "according to the information sent back by my secret agent, Mongolia has transferred most of the garrison troops of Luoyang Road. There are not many Mongolian soldiers in Luoyang City."
"Jia Xiang, you really deserve to be an old minister for the country. You should do some research in advance in everything you do." After hearing this, Emperor LiZong praised Prime Minister Jia Sidao.
After listening to Emperor LiZong's praise, Prime Minister Jia Sidao said humbly: "holy, you flatter me. This is what I should do."
"My Lord, if you listen to both, it will be clear; if you listen to only one, it will be dark. The old minister has already set Xiangyang up and called Shi Mizhi back from Xiangyang." He added.
As soon as the prime minister Jia Sidao said this, Xiangyang Zhizhi made Shi Mizhi stand up, kneel down on the ground, kowtow and say: "I have seen the emperor, long live, long live."
"Get up and talk." Emperor LiZong gave orders to Shi MI.
When Shi Mi got up, he said, "I was thinking of calling Ai Qing to come to an, but I didn't expect the prime minister to think of it for me."
"As a minister, you should be anxious about what the emperor wants and what the emperor wants." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.
After that, he said to Shi Mi: "Mr. Shi, in front of the emperor, you can tell him your opinion."
"Yes, Jia Xiang. The way of Shi MI.
After chatting with Hao Jing, the prime minister Jia Sidao didn't immediately summon his heart and soul to discuss again that night. Instead, he called them together before the great court meeting to unify their caliber.
When he did so, he was also worried that someone would leak it.
Shi Mi's way: "holy, minister in Xiangyang, also once and Mongolian soldiers, to tell the truth, Mongolian soldiers are really very powerful."
"If it's a large number of Mongolian cavalry, it's really hard for the army of Song Dynasty to stand up. However, if there are a small number of Mongolian soldiers, and the Mongolian soldiers are proficient in field operations, they are not good at guarding the city. If the emperor attacks with the elite army of Bianliang in Tokyo, then our song dynasty is at least 90% sure of recovering Luoyang." Another way.
After listening to Shi Mizhi's words, Emperor LiZong nodded frequently and said, "after listening to Shi Aiqing's words, I have a score in my heart."
"In the past, there were two factions in the Song Dynasty for the recovery of Luoyang. Now the two factions have become one. We have reached a consensus on the recovery of Luoyang in the Song Dynasty. I am very pleased." He added.
As soon as he said this, Zhang Shijie, the head of the Ministry of war, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, my minister's views are different from those of Jia Xiang."
"Zhang Aiqing, didn't you tell me that you agreed to recover Luoyang?" After listening, Emperor LiZong said.
Zhang Shijie replied: "I have said that I agree to recover Luoyang, but the way of recovery is different from that of Jia Xiangye."
"I said that if I want to recover Luoyang, I must garrison troops in Bianliang, Tokyo, and wait until the food and grass are well prepared. Finally, I will send troops, not troops." He added.
Emperor LiZong said, "just now, this prime minister Jia has said that there are only a small number of Mongolian soldiers in Luoyang, but it's a good opportunity for us to send troops."
"If we miss this good opportunity, we may not have such an opportunity in the future." He added.
Zhang Shijie said: "Your Majesty, as the head of the military department, I have to say that the army did not move, food and grass first, even if, as Mr. Jia said, we took advantage of the Mongolian soldiers in Luoyang to recover Luoyang, but once the food and grass were insufficient, the Mongolian soldiers attacked again, and the food and grass could not be supplied, our army would be in danger."
"Zhang Shijie doesn't know anything about the war." Jia Sidao is the opposite of Zhang Shijie.
He added: "once we occupy Luoyang, the army can raise grain on the spot. In addition, our army will take grain and grass with us when we march. When the grain and grass are consumed, our southern grain and grass will surely be transported to the north."
"Mr. Jia Xiang, it's all your hypothesis. This March is not for fun." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.
Prime Minister Jia Sidao asked, "have you ever heard of the dangerous moves in the army?"
"Yes, of course." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.
He added: "but this is not only a simple action, but it is related to the life and death of our song dynasty."
"At present, we have recovered Bianliang in Tokyo, and if we recover Luoyang, it will be the biggest event since the Southern Song Dynasty. Of course, we should pay close attention to it." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, said: "hum, master Jia, if you don't mention it, it's a good idea, but you have to know, the reality is very cruel."
"Wenshangshu, I think you are scared by the Mongolian soldiers." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.
Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, said: "don't spit out blood, Jiaxiang. I'm not afraid of death. I'll be afraid of a few Mongolian soldiers."
"What you said is ridiculous, Mr. Jia Xiang." He added.
Prime Minister Jia Sidao said, "if you are not afraid of Mongolian soldiers, you will not advocate delaying the march in Mongolia."
"Mr. Xiang, you're not right. Mr. Wen's idea of waiting for sufficient food and grass before marching is not the same as being afraid of Mongolian soldiers." Zhang Shijie, head of the Ministry of war.
He added: "if you are afraid of Mongolia, I'm afraid that no one in the Song Dynasty will be out of your control."
"You're a little head of the army. You dare to slander me. You're too brave." Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.
Zhang Yihong, his best friend, saw that Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, and the head of the Ministry of arms were all aimed at Prime Minister Jia Sidao, so he jumped out and said, "Zhang Shijie, last time you made such a big mistake, the sage was lenient, and it was used again, but it's only a few days, you dare to be so rampant."
"Who gave you the courage, Zhang Shijie?" He asked again.
Although Zhang Shijie is not as senior as Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of household, he is not afraid of Zhang Yihong.
After listening to Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, he said, "I'm telling you the truth. When the Mongols came to Lin'an in the great Song Dynasty, our Jia Xiangye didn't give up the world like his ancestors."
"Hum, every time the prime minister entertained the Mongols, he was ordered by the emperor. What he did was for the benefit of our song dynasty."
Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.
He asked, "are you dissatisfied with the specifications of the emperor's service to the Mongols when you say that today?"
"Don't say that, Jiaxiang. The lower officials are only dissatisfied with Jiaxiang's flattery to the Mongols, but they are not dissatisfied with the emperor." Zhang Shijie listen to Jia Sidao prime minister said so himself, quickly explained.
Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, said: "that is, Jia Xiang, your Jia Xiang's business is your Jia Xiang's business. Don't involve the Holy One. The Holy One is the Holy One."
"The emperor is not your shield." He added.
Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, said: "Jia Xiang has always been loyal to the emperor. He will only stand in front of the emperor. How can he use the emperor as his shield? If you say this, the emperor will not believe it."
The prime minister Jia Sidao said, "that is, the prime minister has always been loyal to the Holy One. How can he do anything to offend the Holy One?"
"You guys, every time you encounter something, you quarrel with each other. In vain, I still praise that you seldom agree this time!" Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty told them.
As soon as he spoke, everyone stopped talking, so he said, "the general of the Tokyo Garrison who marched into Luoyang is at the forefront of the recovery of Luoyang. He is also the executor of this operation. It's up to them to decide when to attack."
