end song

With the majesty of Kuimen, if you look from a high place, you can see the magnificent scene of the rolling Yangtze River splitting the mountains and rushing down.

It is just that "many waters will be flooded, and Qutang will fight for one". This situation and scene broaden people's horizons and make people feel proud.

Su Liuyi looked deeply at Jia Sidao, and could feel the incomparable loyalty of Ping Zhanggong to Song Sheji from the wrinkles in the corners of Jia Sidao's eyes.

The world scolded him as a traitor, but he knew that this so-called traitor always wanted to save the country.

"The last general dare not hide from Duke Pingzhang!"

Su Liuyi decided in an instant to throw away the tact and forbearance he had learned in Lu Jiajun Middle School, and he wanted to tell the truth.

"Although there are three hundred warriors who will climb the cliff at the end of the day, none of the ten who successfully enter the barrier, this is the real meritorious service."

With difficulty, he took out a booklet from the armor, Su Liuyi took a good look at it, handed it to Jia Sidao, and continued: "As for those who have been attacking Qutang Pass from the front, only the soldiers led by Jingnan pacifier Zhu Yusun Ma. As for the generals from all walks of life, they have always refused to do their best, and instead took credit after the battle."

"really."

Jia Sidao took the booklet and glanced at it, only to see that there were personal names on it, and the one with the highest official position was just a general.

He had known for a long time that the reputation book reported to the court was fake, after all those people didn't even cover it up.

"Mr. Pingzhang also knew?"

Su Liuyi stepped back with one leg and was about to kneel down, but was supported by Jia Sidao.

"Ren Zhong, there is no need to be like this. You are a loyal minister and good general who risked his life to protect the country. The truth is very clear. You will not be treated badly... and these soldiers under your command will definitely be rewarded and promoted."

"Thank you Pingzhanggong!" Su Liuyi was overjoyed.

But after thinking about it, he asked again: "But the battle report has already been delivered to the imperial court, can it be changed?"

Jia Sidao patted him on the shoulder and said: "Although the battle report cannot be changed, it is enough to know who the credit belongs to."

"But... But Xie Yijin, the Cao Shen military officer in Changde, did not distribute winter clothes to the soldiers for a long time, and only knew how to recite poems and paint all day long; Yang Quan, the commander of the Ningjiang Army, was timid and delayed the military plane. These people falsely claim the credit of the soldiers. If the matter is not correct, the soldiers will be upset."

"I understand, but it's not that simple."

"Mr. Pingzhang, the general is willing to do everything for the Great Song Dynasty!" Su Liuyi said: "The general is only afraid that after the death of the battle, the credit will be falsely claimed by others, and even more afraid that fighting for the country will become a crime."

In a word, it refers to today, and it also refers to his grandfather not dying in the hands of the Jin army when he was fighting against the Jin Dynasty, but died under the sword of the Song Dynasty.

Others might not be qualified to say that, but Su Liuyi did.

"If Duke Pingzhang didn't come today, those soldiers who risked their lives to serve the country would get nothing. And my grandfather, he was only fighting against gold back then..."

Su Liuyi stopped talking halfway.

Jia Sidao was also silent, thinking that during this trip to Sichuan, among the various officials he saw along the way, Su Liuyi was the one he admired the most, but couldn't even fulfill a simple request?

The two were speechless, only the river wind blew through the Fengxiang Gorge, pulling out a low sob.

"Ren Zhong, I'm more anxious than you."

Jia Sidao raised his hand and pointed at his boat that covered the entire river.

"In such a large army, I know how many incompetent and greedy people there are. I am more eager than you to cut off the carrion and straighten up the army. But haste makes waste, and the imperial court is stationed in the south of the Yangtze River For more than 130 years, officials, gentry, and various forces were intertwined and fought against each other. It is said that Xie Yiming, a soldier in Hubei, was under the jurisdiction of Xie Yiming. He was not a big official, but his father's name was Xie Caibo. He died as a gift to the Duke of Wei. Xie Caibo has a second younger brother who is notoriously named Qu Bo, and was posthumously named King of Wei a few years ago."

Su Liuyi lowered his head.

"I'm not afraid of the Xie family. It's not like my Jia family didn't fight with the Xie family back then." Jia Sidao smiled, his eyes were a little sad.

He was not reconciled to the fact that the fight between open and secret ends in the end with his sister's death.

"However, there is no need to offend Xie's family when the army is away. Now that Xie Yichang is an official in Dali Temple, and Xie Yixiu knows Shaoxing Mansion, if he is dissatisfied, it will inevitably affect the overall situation. There is also Yang Quan, the commander of the Ningjiang army. Yang Yingkui didn't tell you, Yang Quan is Is it his nephew from the same clan?"

"..."

The Yangtze River was still there, and Jia Sidao reached out and patted Su Liuyi on the shoulder again on the majestic mountain pass.

"I have been wild and unruly all my life. I dare to do the law of the public land to mobilize the gentry, and I can also plan to mobilize the generals. But I know that I am used to doing big things like this, so I will inevitably be tied up. Bear with it, bear with each other for the country, and wait until the day when the family thieves and foreign invaders are defeated. , you will know that it is worthwhile to protect the great mountains and rivers."

~~
Yanjing.

The Daning Palace left behind by the Kingdom of Jin is no longer what it used to be. Although Kublai Khan stayed here, he actually lived in a gorgeous sweat tent in the palace city.

After more than half a year of recuperation, Kublai Khan's injuries in Helan Mountain finally healed almost. Although some minor ailments remained, they had to be recuperated slowly.

Everything is slowly getting better.

On the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Kublai Khan woke up early and got dressed under the service of his maid.

His beard and hair had grown back, giving him a majestic and inviolable appearance.

He slept in Chabi's tent last night, but now Chabi got up and was stopped by his own hands.

Chabi has been haggard a lot recently.

Her eldest son died early, and now Zhenjin is also dead, and Mangge La fell ill because of Ye Rihan's incident, so she was naturally very depressed.

"Your son is back today, you should be happier." Kublai smiled.

"The Great Khan is saying that Namuhan is back?"

"Yes." Kublai Khan lightly stroked Chabi's back, and said, "I appeased the herdsmen in Mobei, and came back with soldiers and horses. Can you rest assured? You don't have to worry about the Han people attacking Yan all day long." Beijing."

"Of course it's the Great Khan who decides." Chabi was really happy, "Then let Namuhan come to see me after the Great Khan has entertained the warriors."

According to the custom, Ke Dun should accompany the Great Khan when he entertains the Great Khan.But Chabi has been feeling unwell recently and has been bedridden for many years, so he stayed in the tent to rest.

Kublai Khan had a good relationship with her, and comforted her a few more words before going to busy with state affairs.

Not long after he left, Kuo Kuo Zhen took his three sons into Chabi's tent.

Kuo Kuozhen gave birth to three sons for Zhenjin in three years. Now the eldest son is five years old, the second son is four years old, and the youngest son is three years old.

Strange to say, among the three sons of Zhenjin, Kuo Kuozhen's favorite is the youngest son Tie Mu'er, and Kublai Khan's favorite is the second son Dalamabala, and Chabi raised Zhenjin himself. The eldest son Gan Ma La.

It was also at this time that Gan Mala was closest to Chabi, as soon as he entered the tent, he called his grandmother to run forward and lay down with Chabi's arms in his arms.

"Grandmother...get well soon, Ma, it will be spring soon, take me back to Kaiping to...hunt."

Gan Ma La is a bit of a stuttering problem, but it is not too serious.

He is young and stutters when he speaks, which makes him even more cute.

Chabi smiled when he saw the grandson, stroked his little head and said, "It's still cold, what kind of hunting are you hunting, you should read more."

Although she is a Mongolian woman, she is very clear about one thing, that is, the Confucians of the Han people like the eldest son inheritance system, and among the princes and grandchildren they place the most high hopes on this emperor's eldest grandson.

Of course, this does not mean that she is going to help Gan Mala fight for the position now.I just feel sorry for this little grandson who lost his father, and hope he can have more supporters to love him.

This preference does not have much influence in normal times.

But there is one thing in front of you... If Li Xia went to Yanjing in the north and Kublai Khan retreated to the north of Yanshan, then the status of the Han officials would plummet, and Dayuan would no longer have the eldest son inheritance system. It is likely to fall into the hands of Namuhan, who is strong and strong.

If so, Cha must worry that one day Namuhan will kill the three sons left behind by Zhenjin.

She believes that the Han people's method of inheritance is more secure and gentle, allowing her descendants to pass it on from generation to generation without disputes.

Therefore, she hoped that Kublai Khan could defeat Li Xia and defend the Central Plains. She was very opposed to the proposal of some Mongolian kings and generals to return to the grassland.

Kuo Kuo really had the same thought.

Now the position of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is exactly the same.

"How did the inquiry I asked you go?"

Kuo Kuo really nodded respectfully, and said: "Two days ago, Wang Xun's wife came to see me and said that there is hope for peace talks."

"Negotiate peace? Can Li Xia agree?"

"Song's army has entered Li Xia's rear, and Li Xia is in a hurry to retreat, so he asked Hao Jing to come back to test us. But what the Han officials are worried about is that the Great Khan will still kill Zhang's family."

Chabi coughed twice, and said, "I've already asked Da Khan, he didn't intend to kill Zhang's family right away, but let the warriors escort Zhang Rou to take back Baozhou. It will kill Zhang's family."

"Wang Xun means... can you persuade Da Khan again?"

"Persuasion is persuasion." Chabi thought for a long time, stroked his grandson's head, and murmured: "It's just the thoughts of these Han people... can you trust them?"
