Chapter 1266
July [-]th, Lin'an, the public house of the Privy Council.

The table made of huanghuali has a fine and shiny texture, and a pot of camellia on it adds a touch of elegance.

A carved flowerpot filled with ice cubes was placed by the window, emitting white air. The wind blows, bringing with it the cool air of ice cubes and the fragrance of agarwood.

Several people in the room were sitting upright, discussing in detail.

"I don't understand Li Ni's strategy. Sometimes he goes north, sometimes he goes south. Since he hit Yanjing, why did he go to Kaifeng?"

Being able to say such things shows that they have a close relationship and are not afraid of showing timidity to each other. It is also because many officials of the Song court are too ignorant of the terrain of the Central Plains.

"Li Nizhi's strategy is 'easy first, then difficult'. He conquered Hebei Shihou first. At that time, he looked powerful, but he hadn't touched the root of Meng Yuan. Therefore, when Meng Yuan was caught off guard, he turned around and took Lose Boyan and capture Kaifeng. At this time, Meng Yuan is the end of the game."

"Easy first and then difficult? In other words, Li Ni won the game after this time? The so-called attacking Yanjing was just a scare?"

"good."

"What the hell is Lu Wenhuan doing?! Two or three times the enemy, but still can't break the enemy?!"

"..."

Chen Yizhong unhurriedly took out a few letters from his sleeve, placed them on the table, took a sip from his teacup, and waited for his colleagues to read the letters.

"Boom."

There was a loud bang, and Zhang Jian, who was reading the letter, kicked down the table in surprise, shook the teacups on it, and shattered the porcelain pieces all over the floor.

"Jia Sidao...Jia Sidao, did he guess our plan?"

"what?!"

The other people were also pale with fright, they snatched the letter from Zhang Jian's hand and looked at it, screaming again and again.

What they were looking at was Li Xia's summoning letter of accepting Zhao Jin as a concubine, reprimanding Zhao Xuan, awarding Jia Sidao, and Lu Wenhuan's memorial.

Chen Yizhong was not in a hurry to speak, and sipped his tea calmly.

In fact, when he received the news last night, he was also shocked and dropped his most cherished inkstone.

It was this loss that allowed him to calmly wait for these important ministers to resume their energy-raising skills today.

Finally, the room became quiet, many people twisted their long beards and pondered.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient." Chen Yizhong put down his teacup and said, "Jia Sidao must have guessed something, otherwise, Han Zhen, the commander in front of the palace, has already taken our heads."

"Not bad, not bad." Zhang Jian rubbed the sweat in his hands and said slowly, "Han Zhen hasn't responded yet, so it can be seen that Jia Sidao's behavior has nothing to do with us."

"Not only that." Chen Yizhong said: "I think Jia Sidao should not have rebelled."

"If Jia Sidao really turned his back on him, I'm afraid Han Zhen has already controlled His Majesty."

"It's unlikely. Li Ni hasn't defeated Kublai Khan yet, let alone sent his troops south. It shouldn't be now when Jia Sidao wants to defect."

"Yes, the time has not yet come. If Jia Sidao really defected, what should be done at this time is to eliminate dissidents in Lin'an, and wait for Li Ni's army to go south before responding."

They may not understand the war, but they are extremely sensitive to these officialdom thoughts, and quickly speculated that this was Li Xia's countermeasure.

And after these analyzes came out, there were also some other things.

"only……"

Zhang Jian said slowly: "It's just that Jia Sidao didn't defect to Li Ni before, but once Li Ni's false edict comes out, there is no guarantee that he will not rebel."

Chen Yizhong nodded, and said: "There are a few things that can be confirmed to be true. The princess of Ruiguo is definitely not dead. When I interrogated Wang Yinglin, he spoke convincingly about the secret case in the palace and said that the princess could testify .”

Zhang Jian lowered his voice, and said: "If you dare to slander your majesty, if you don't kill this kind of person, how can you let him escape?"

Chen Yizhong sneered: "At that time, Jia Yuqing told me that the body was pushed into the Qiantang River."

"Where's Jia Yuqing?"

"I ordered people to take him this morning, and he should be in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment now."

"Go ahead."

"The defection of Weng Yinglong and Huang Gongshao is true. Lu Wenhuan saw it with his own eyes."

When Chen Yizhong said this, he pondered deeply and said slowly: "If I were Li Xia, I would definitely send someone to recruit Jia Sidao again. By the way, the envoy is Huang Gongshao. Counting the time, it may take two days to go upstream from Jiangling. Huang Gongshao will be able to go to Jia Sidao's main ship."

~~
At the same time, outside the city of Kuizhou, the great river was rolling.

Huang Gongshao was kneeling in front of Jia Sidao, not daring to look up even though the deck was shaking, just waiting for Jia Sidao to finish reading the letter in his hand.

The letter was written by Zhao Jin, saying that she wanted to be Li Xia's concubine, with the title of Concubine Kang, because Li Xia wanted her to be healthy... After talking about such small things, she persuaded Jia Sidao to join her.

"Since the situation is clear, why does uncle protect a fool as emperor?"

Jia Sidao closed his eyes, folded Zhao Jin's letter, and put it in his sleeve.

With this movement, a cricket cage fell out of the sleeve, but there was no cricket inside.

He has not played with crickets for a long time.

Every day on the river, there is a fart cricket.

"Get up." Jia Sidao said.

Huang Gongshao didn't dare to get up, and reminded: "Ping Zhanggong, you haven't read His Majesty's imperial pen yet."

"Don't read it, I'm afraid I will kill you after reading it."

Huang Gongshao trembled, and murmured: "Concubine Kang...Concubine Kang said, Lord Pingzhang will not kill me, but let me bring gifts back..."

"You're going to eat me, right?!"

Jia Sidao suddenly yelled, stepped forward and kicked Huang Gongshao on the shoulder, cursing: "You dog monkey, I castrated you! I want you to go back and give them a congratulatory gift."

"Pingzhanggong calm down." Huang Gongshao said, "Your Majesty still has a top-secret news for me to tell Pingzhanggong."

"Top-secret news? Don't you think I don't know?" Jia Sidao spit on Huang Gongshao's face and said, "He, Li Xia, has already told the world to let the court know that he has appointed me an official. That would be more generous. An official higher than the one given to me by the court, let me crack the earth and become the king."

"no……"

"Still playing anti-pitch? Do you think the court will be fooled? It's clumsy! It's extremely clumsy!"

"Ping Zhanggong, listen to me."

"Okay, listen to me again, come on, if you can't tell the flowers, I will make your ass bloom."

"Zhang Jian, Zeng Yuanzi, Chen Yizhong and others have been in secret contact for a long time, planning to seize the power of Prince Zhang..."

"What did you say?"

Jia Sidao seemed to think he heard it wrong.

However, his heart trembled inexplicably, and he already judged that what Huang Gongshao said was true based on his intuition.

He should have noticed it a long time ago, but he was too tired and too busy to care about those little things because of Li Xia's pressure, but as soon as someone reminded him, he immediately reacted.

"Tell me again, which broom scrapers are they?"

"Mr. Pingzhang, in the imperial letter from His Majesty, there is specific news that the Department of Public Opinion came to Lin'an to investigate."

"hiss."

Jia Sidao has quickly opened Li Xia's letter.

He scanned the ten lines at a glance, looked at it carefully again, and then found that there was still a blueprint in the envelope, so he put it on the desk and leaned over to look at it.

"Damn, a bunch of sons of bitches..."

~~
Lin'an, the public house of the Privy Council.

Everyone was discussing something important, when suddenly the sound of wind chimes came from outside the room.

Chen Yizhong raised his hand to signal everyone to be silent, he went to open the door himself, and summoned the servants standing outside the gate.

"What's the matter?"

"Sir, Jia Yuqing said he wanted to see you..."

"He has plenty of opportunities." Chen Yizhong said indifferently: "Use torture first, and when he recruits, I will go to see him."

"He has already recruited, saying that he did not defect to Li Ni. One of the people he brought with him is Li Ni's envoy, named Wang Hao."

Chen Yizhong was taken aback for a moment, and after reacting for a while, he said in astonishment: "That Tang Shijie with a big mouth...Tang envoy? Wang Xiao?"

"Jia Yuqing said that as long as Xianggong thinks about it carefully, he will definitely meet him and treat him with courtesy."

After Chen Yizhong pondered for a while, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he finally said, "Take them to the mansion..."

"They said that they want to come here to see you all."

"Damn it." Chen Yizhong cursed in a low voice, and said, "Bring them here."

He flicked his sleeves in displeasure, and returned to the public room, only to see that everyone had stood up one after another.

"What's the matter?"

"We were put together..."

After less than half a stick of incense, two more people stepped into the public room.

Jia Yuqing was dressed in an official robe with a calm demeanor. After entering the room, he took a glance and squeezed into a seat between Zhang Jian and Zeng Yuanzi to show that he was still a Song official. Wang Luo lied, the northerners are indeed shameless."

Wang Luo held a folding fan in his hand, raised his hand and arched it, and said with a big smile, "My lords, please be polite. Wang Luo and Wang Muqiao have long admired the demeanor of famous scholars in the south of the Yangtze River."

Zeng Yuanzi frowned, and said to Chen Yizhong: "Haven't you taken down this traitor's trick?!"

"The so-called war between two countries, don't behead envoys, the state of etiquette in the Song Dynasty..."

"Speak up if you have something to say." Chen Yizhong interrupted Wang Luo impatiently.

This is not a formal occasion, there is nothing to say about private affairs and conspiracy.

Wang Luo said: "Then I will say it directly... Oh, yes, let me say something more, you Song Ting is really doing things like a joke."

"Kill him." Wu Jian finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Kill him, anyway, we have already started a war with Li Ni."

"What's the matter if you kill me?" Wang Luo said with a smile, "It's nothing more than that Jia Sidao will negotiate peace with His Majesty first, and lead the master back to the court to regain power."

When the word "big power" was mentioned, everyone in the room seemed to have their feet pinched and stopped making a sound.

Only Wang Xiao was extremely active, and opened the folding fan again with a "shua".

"Look at the emperors of your Song Kingdom. I heard about Zhao Ji, Zhao Heng, and Zhao Gou in the past. Now I look at this Zhao Xuan. Haha, it is not easy for you to enjoy the country for 300 years. Admire, admire."

Someone in the room rushed towards Wang Xiao and was hugged.

"Let go, soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated."

"The bigger picture is the bigger picture."

"The emperor humiliated his ministers to death."

"The overall situation is the most important..."

Chen Yizhong took two deep breaths, and clenched his fists under his wide sleeves.

Finally, Wang Luo waved his folding fan lightly, and said, "Your news is too slow. Before July, His Majesty had already entered Kaifeng City, completely occupied the three capitals, and restored the Central Plains."

There was another commotion in the room.

The corner of Wang Luo's mouth raised slightly, he ignored it, and continued: "Understood? There is no border between Song and Meng Yuan at all. It should be said that Meng Yuan will be expelled from the Central Plains soon. Then what should Song do in the future? Independent resistance Master Tang? Or seek peace?"

"Hmph, Li Ni has wolfish ambitions, how could he negotiate peace with Da Song?"

"Your Majesty's ambition is to rule the world, and he is bound to unify the world. However, the north is initially set, and there may not be a time to recuperate."

"Not necessarily?" Zhang Jian said, "Don't be fooled by him! He just wants to hold us back..."

"I have already told Jia Sidao about your plot!" Wang Luo said loudly, "Presumably at this moment, Jia Sidao is already preparing to return to Lin'an!"

In a word, everyone was shocked.

Wang Xi closed the folding fan again with a "snap", and said: "You two fight, fight, I don't care. But let me tell you, only the party that can get the alliance with the Tang Dynasty can win the power of the Song Dynasty .Don’t understand? Let me give you a few examples... Qin Hui, Shi Miyuan.”
