For the arrival of Dali special envoy, Prime Minister Jia Sidao was not surprised.

When Kublai got the news, he attacked at the first time.

Looking around the world, it is the Song Dynasty that can send troops to rescue Dali.

But in fear of the Mongolian cavalry, Prime Minister Jia Sidao did not want to help.

When Gao Qiang came to see him as a special envoy of Mongolia, he did not receive him.

After that, there were two more times. Jia Sidao still refused to see him for various reasons.

Thinking that his elder brother is still waiting for his good news, Gao Qiang, who lives in the national military academy, is really worried.

He set up a table of wine and vegetables and invited the person in charge of the state guesthouse to come.

Special envoy Gao Qiang of Dali has lived in this state guesthouse for more than one day. He is a little familiar with the people in this state guesthouse.

After three drinks, he took out 521 silver tickets and handed them to the person in charge of the State Guesthouse.

The person in charge of the State Guesthouse asked, "Zunshi, what do you mean?"

"A little heart is no respect." Dali special envoy Gao Qiang replied.

He added, "please accept it."

"No merit, no salary. "The state guesthouse is in charge of humanity.

He asked again, "what can I do for you, Reverend Minister?"

After listening to this question, special envoy Gao Qiang of Dali told the person in charge of the national military museum about his dilemma.

"So that's it." After hearing this, the person in charge of the State Guesthouse said.

Special envoy Gao Qiang of Dali asked, "do you have a way?"

"Of course." The person in charge of the State Guesthouse replied.

He added: "otherwise, I dare not accept your money."

"Say quickly, if this thing is done, still have heavy thank." He added.

"If you want to enter Lin'an City, one of the doors is closed, but the other door may not be closed," said the person in charge of the State Guesthouse

Then he said that he could first visit Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of accounts, the best friend of prime minister Jia Sidao.

As long as the person is willing to take the lead for him, it will be a play in all probability.

This is really the finishing touch.

Ready for the gift, Dali special envoy Gao Qiang arrived at the residence of Zhang Yihong, a commercial tenant of the Ministry of household in the evening of the next day.

Hubu Shangshu is one of the six. There are quite a lot of daily social activities.

Today, it's a coincidence that Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, is in the mansion.

It turned out that after handling the official documents, he felt a little tired, so he put off all the social activities and went back to his residence early.

If ordinary colleagues visit, Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, will refuse to see him. But it is said that he is the special envoy of Dali. Moreover, after reading the gift list, the gifts he received are very rich. So he asked his servants to bring Gao Qiang, the special envoy of Dali, to his study.

Gao Qiang, as a special envoy, came to the Song Dynasty, representing the state of Dali.

Out of respect for him, Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, stood at the door of his study to greet him.

After the ceremony, he welcomed Dali special envoy Gao Qiang into his study.

Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, first sent the gift list back to Gao Qiang, special envoy of Dali, and said, "this gift is too heavy for me to accept."

"If you don't accept it, it must be that it's too light a gift." Dali special envoy said.

Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, explained in a hurry, "I didn't mean that."

"To tell you the truth, I'm here to visit Mr. Zhang. I'd like to ask you a favor." Special envoy Gao Qiang of Dali pushed back the gift list, saying.

Zhang Yihong, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, has also heard about what Dali special envoy Gao Qiang is doing in Lin'an.

"I'm in charge of finance, but I don't want to help you."

"Of course you can help, my Lord." Dali special envoy Gao Qiang Dao.

Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, said, "I'm confused."

"I've heard about it for a long time. As long as it's your advice, Mr. Jia will follow your advice." Dali special envoy Gao Qiang Dao.

There is exaggeration in this statement, but it doesn't make complete nonsense.

Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, said modestly: "there."

"I'm flattered." He added.

Dali special envoy said: "this time I come here, I just want to invite Mr. Zhang to come to Mr. Jia Xiangye and introduce me to you. "

even if he didn't say it, Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, had guessed that the eight nineties were inseparable from the ten. He thought that with his face in front of the prime minister Jia Sidao, it should be eight nineties.

But he didn't immediately express his position, but thought about it. Then he said to him, "it seems that you are very sincere. For your sake, I'll take this trip for you.

"I really found a savior." Dali special envoy Gao Qiang Dao.

Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, said, "well, you'd better go back to the hotel and wait for the news from my official.""I'll be waiting for your good news." After listening, Dali special envoy Gao Qiang said.

With these words, he got up and gave a salute to Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of household, and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, stopped him and said.

Special envoy Gao Qiang of Dali asked, "Mr. Zhang, what can I do for you?"

"It's not done. I'd better take back the present first." The Secretary of the Ministry of household once again handed the gift list to Gao Qiang, the special envoy of Dali.

The special envoy of Dali pushed back Zhang Yihong's hand and said, "there is no reason to return the gift."

"If you don't accept it, Mr. Zhang, I don't trust you to do it." Dali special envoy Gao Qiang Dao.

Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, asked: "according to this, if I don't accept it, I can't do it?"

"Yes Dali special envoy Gao Qiang replied.

Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, pretended to be embarrassed and said, "well, I'll take it first.

"If things are not done in the future, the official will return it to you." He added.

Dali special envoy Gao Qiang said, "we can talk about the future."

After the two broke up, Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the household department, made a little effort to clean up and went to the residence of the prime minister Jia Sidao in a sedan chair.

According to the relationship between him and Prime Minister Jia Sidao, if you want to see this prime minister Jia Sidao, you don't even need to inform him, just go in directly.

Today, after going to court, they chatted in the Yamen for a while.

Seeing him coming, Prime Minister Jia Sidao asked him what was the matter.

Special envoy Jia Shanghong, who came to the capital of Song Dynasty to ask for help, said that it was not important for him.

He was the confidant of the prime minister Jia Sidao. He told him what he thought.

Both of them were afraid of the Mongols and advocated that peace was the best policy for the Mongolian Khanate. At present, to help Dali is tantamount to fighting against the Mongol khantin, which is different from Zhang Yihong's previous thoughts.

After listening to his meaning, Prime Minister Jia Sidao was a little curious and asked why he thought so.

Zhang Yihong, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, said, "of course, we can't afford to offend the Mongolian Khanate."

"But things are different now. "He added.

"What's the difference?" asked Prime Minister Jia Sidao

"If Mongolia exterminates Dali, we will also be threatened, and the Mongolian Khanate will attack the Song Dynasty without scruple." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs.

The prime minister Jia Sidao said, "Kublai Khan who attacked Dali was only the Mongol Khanate. In addition, the Mongol Khanate's elder brother Khan himself led the main force of the Mongol Khanate to attack Sichuan in the Song Dynasty."

"At the moment, the prime minister is powerless." He sighed and said.

Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, said, "have you reported this to the emperor?"

"Not yet." The prime minister Jia Sidao replied.

He was mainly worried that if this matter was reported to the emperor LiZong, he would certainly call together the officials to discuss.

In that case, his opponents, Lord Wen Tianxiang, must have advocated sending troops to rescue Dali.

At that time, the situation will not be controlled.

"If they are passive to tell you, it will be a long time for them to help you." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs.

The prime minister Jia Sidao asked, "do you mean that the prime minister should immediately report to the emperor about the coming of Dali special envoy?"

"I think so." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, replied.

The prime minister Jia Sidao said, "if the emperor asks the prime minister what to do, how should the prime minister answer?"

"Sending troops must be too exciting for the Mongolian Khanate. Maybe Mongolia will attack us more fiercely." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, replied.

He added: "in my opinion, we can give Dali some money, grain and military pay. In this way, we can neither refute Dali's face nor stimulate the Mongolian Khanate too much."

"It's a compromise." After hearing this, the prime minister Jia Sidao said.

Praise way: "very good!"

"So, Mr. Xiang, you agree with me?" asked Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs.

The prime minister Jia Sidao replied, "yes."

"You work hard, and then go to the State Guesthouse. In the name of prime minister, you'd like to have a good reception. Ask him to come with Prime Minister tomorrow morning to see the emperor." He added.

Zhang Yihong, a merchant of the Ministry of household affairs, said, "I'm very happy to serve you."

"I dare not talk about hard work." He added.

Jia Sidao, the prime minister, said, "then you can go quickly."

At his command, Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, took leave with Jia Sidao, the prime minister, and went to the National Military Museum.After talking with Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, for a long time, Jia Sidao, the prime minister, felt a little tired. He got up and wanted to go to the soft cave and wanted to have a rest.

Just as he lay on the soft ground, Jia Zhong, the housekeeper of the prime minister's house, came in.

Jia Sidao, the prime minister, frowned and asked, "I don't want to have a rest."

"Excuse me for interrupting Mr. Xiang. You have a rest." Housekeeper Jia Zhong bowed to him in a hurry and said.

The prime minister Jia Sidao waved his hand and said, "OK!"

"What's the matter?" He asked again.

Housekeeper Jia Zhong replied, "someone wants to see you. "

" I don't want to see anyone now. " Jia Sidao, Prime Minister.

As soon as he said this, he heard the humanitarian outside: "Jia Xiang, what a prestige!"

"Who?" the prime minister Jia Sidao said.

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he asked, "why did you come in without the permission of the prime minister?"

A man came in.

Housekeeper Jia Zhong pointed to the man and said, "that's him. He broke in with a few people without permission."

"I can't stop it." He added.

After hearing this, Prime Minister Jia Sidao scolded his housekeeper Jia Zhong and said, "useless things."

He didn't know this man, but from the bearing point of view, he should not be an ordinary person.

"Who are you?" Prime Minister Jia Sidao got up from the soft collapse, sat down and asked.

The man didn't wait for the prime minister Jia Sidao to ask him to sit down. He took the initiative to sit down and asked, "the guests are coming. Don't they even have a cup of tea?"

"That's not hospitality." He added.

After hearing this, Prime Minister Jia Sidao said with a smile, "if it's really a guest, the prime minister should treat each other with courtesy and order people to serve tea."

"But I don't know whether you are a guest or not." As soon as the tone changed, he said again.

The man asked, "can we talk alone, Jia Xiang?"

"You step back!" Prime Minister Jia Sidao told the official Jia Zhong.

Jia Zhong, the official, listened to the command and said, "Mr. Xiang, this man has no clear origin. I'd better stay here."

"It's not that serious. You go down." The prime minister Jia Sidao ordered again.

Now, housekeeper Jia Zhong didn't dare to insist any more. After bowing, he went out.

"Can we say it now?" Asked Prime Minister Jia Sidao.

The man replied: "it's said that Jia Xiang was as timid as a mouse when he saw the Mongols. Today, it seems that the rumor is false."

"Are you Mongolian?" The prime minister Jia Sidao was surprised and asked.

The man replied, "not bad!"

"My king is Ali Buge." He added.

The prime minister Jia Sidao suddenly got up from where he was sitting, pointed to the man and asked incredulously, "are you the seventh Prince of the Mongolian Khanate?"

"It's true." Seven Wangye Ali not elder brother replies.

In the Royal Court of Dali, there are also many spies in the Examination Bureau.

When Lord Gao asked his brother Gao Qiang to come to Lin'an of the Song Dynasty as special envoy of Dali for help, the news was soon passed to the seventh Prince Ali Buge by the spy of the goukao Bureau.

From his relationship with the fourth Prince Kublai Khan, the seventh Prince Ali Buge is eager for the Song Dynasty to send troops to help Dali, so that the fourth Prince's pressure will increase and his jokes will be good.

However, this time it was a great strategy planned by several generations of Mongolian Khan.

The final success requires the cooperation of the fourth Prince Kublai Khan with the Khan army led by mengge Khan.

As a last resort, Ali Buge, the seventh prince, went to Lin'an, the capital of the Song Dynasty, from the Mongolian Khanate.

The prime minister Jia Sidao respectfully saluted Ali Buge and said, "I really don't know it's the seventh prince. You've come to my humble home. It's really a shame to welcome him from afar."

"Ha ha, it's good that you don't drive my Lord out of your prime minister's residence." Ali, the seventh prince, is not a brother.

The prime minister Jia Sidao said, "look what you said."

"I dare not!" He added.
