Chapter 705 Forbearance for the Prime Minister of the Country
In the elegant courtyard by the West Lake, there are mixed peanut trees and flocks of warblers flying around.

It was still dark, and the candles on the attic were burning all night, giving off a little bit of sweet light.

Li Huiniang got up from the couch and saw that Jia Sidao had gotten up at some point and was sitting by the window, staring blankly at the West Lake.

His back was slumped, and his hair was not neatly bundled up as usual, but scattered... It was the first time Li Huiniang noticed that he had so many gray hairs.

In her eyes, Jia Sidao has always looked young, even young, but now he is an old man.

That's right, forty and seven, nearly fifty years old...

A fox fur quilt is draped over Jia Sidao's back.

He didn't look back, and sighed, unlike his usual self-confident appearance in front of people.

"Why did Ah Lang get up so early?" Li Huiniang brushed Jia Sidao's hair with an ivory comb.

"can not fall asleep."

Jia Sidao said dejectedly: "When the late emperor was here, I didn't even bother to wake up for the court meeting. Now I can't sleep even if I want to. I'm old."

"Is there something on your mind, Aaron?"

"Some people say that I can't save Sheji, but they don't say how to save Sheji. In the end, all he did was start anew...disgusting."

Li Huiniang is just a concubine and doesn't understand these things.

She just stood there honestly, and replied honestly: "Then this person must have said that Alang can't save Sheji because he wanted to start a new stove. Alang don't pay attention to him."

"I don't care about it, I have to get rid of it, but I don't know how to get rid of it."

Li Huiniang was silent.

He was always like this, getting rid of this and that at every turn, and he didn't know how many enemies he had.

She no longer dared to persuade.

"When I first became an official, I made great ambitions. I knew it was difficult back then, but I didn't expect that it would be a hundred times, a thousand times, and ten thousand times more difficult to travel all the way."

In this dark night before dawn, Jia Sidao who is sitting here seems to have not put on his shell, and is extremely fragile.

He was talking to himself alone, as if he was missing someone.

"It was always more difficult than expected. They were all timid, fled, and fled... Zhao Kui, after the defeat of the Three Capitals, was devastated; Uncle Xie Fang, who was full of reasoning, had no real achievements, and left in despair, raising cranes and cultivating Taoism; Ding Daquan, when he entered the court, he forgot his ambitions when he was in Fujian Road; Wu Qian, too straight, refused to bear for the country, he refused; Cheng Yuanfeng, too weak, not straight enough; Ye Mengding, old and slow... …

They all said that they want to save Da Song Sheji, save Da Song, but each of them still wants to cherish the feathers, thinking that I don't know what they are thinking, and when Sheji perishes, they have already been buried, so what do they have to do with them?They will only shout 'Jia Sidao, you can't do it', they can't do it, they will only drag me down with gossip. 20 years have been exhausted by these cowardly people.

Only... only Li Xia, who doesn't have the pedantic spirit of these people.The mind is tenacious, not timid, not fleeing, similar to me, self-sufficient, never easy for others to say.However, he took the wrong path at the beginning.The country is like a serious illness, whether it is a temporary solution or a cure for the root cause, the thugs have risen up, wanting to break the arm of the country, trying to survive with their arms.With a strong captive at his side, he still dares to cause such a disaster. "

Jia Sidao was exhausted by cursing.

What he was talking about was loneliness.

The height is not cold.

Pingzhang's military and state affairs are important, and he finally got the power he dreamed of to be in charge of the court.

Those who had the same ambition as him were kicked away by him, and all civil and military officials in the dynasty were trampled under his feet.

No one deserves to stand by his side.

Even what is in my heart can only be said to concubines who don't understand these things.

He is also tired, he also wants to give up, don't do anything, just surrender or take poison, isn't it easy?
……

Mao Shi.

Privy Council.

Mr. Jia Pingzhang sat in the lobby, his expression still confident and high-spirited.

Under the official hat, the hair at the temples was combed meticulously, black and shiny...

"Let's discuss."

"Mr. Pingzhang, Uncle Xie Fang came from Jiangxi to offer auspicious omens to the officials. I am afraid that he wants to hear the news and understand the situation so that he can become a prime minister again."

When Jia Sidao heard this, he raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

These people are still fighting for power and have not escaped. They are not waiting for the Song Dynasty to perish, but their methods are not as good as Jia Sidao.

If it is said that Li Xia's contempt for the power of execution made Jia Sidao feel lonely and frustrated.From Uncle Xie Fang, he once again felt the taste of power.

I don't know how many people are jealous of his position.

"What auspicious offerings?"

"One zither, one crane, and one golden pill."

Jia Sidao picked up the teacup, glanced at the group of officials lightly, and said, "What do you think?"

"Tempting the Lord is for the sake of sensuality."

"Pursuing names to offer incense, being good at buying gold objects, and playing with pills for people's longevity, it is completely unworthy of a minister's dignity."

"Wronging the country and destroying the people, doing things privately, violating the system and arrogating the system, should be severely punished..."

Jia Sidao nodded and said, "Let's do it."

"Mr. Pingzhang, Cheng Yuanfeng has recently resigned and returned to his hometown. I dare to ask, is he really allowed to serve as a Shaobao, a scholar of Guanwendian, and a Guanshi envoy of Liquan?"

Jia Sidao pondered for a moment.

This matter has already been decided, and it is a question of how much dignity Cheng Yuanfeng will leave after returning home.

The two only disagree on political views, and the personal grievances are not deep. Cheng Yuanfeng is not as unmannered as Wu Qian, who barks wildly after losing the party dispute.He didn't want to go too far.

But, I have to give Li Xia an explanation...

"Let go of his post as Shaobao and Grand Bachelor of Guanwendian." Jia Sidao closed his eyes, and his tone was cold.

When he opened his eyes again, he was full of pride and disdain.

"If it wasn't for Cheng Yuanfeng's unwillingness to spend the military salary, I would have transferred Lu Wende to Sichuan half a year ago. The situation in Sichuan and Sichuan has been brought about by this waste."

"That's exactly the case. Li Ni's disaster was caused by Cheng Yuanfeng."

After all, Li Xia's matter had to be dealt with, and there was no way to avoid it.

Liao Yingzhong took a step forward and reminded: "Duke Pingzhang, Jiang Chun has submitted a memorial again. I ask the court to reward Li Xia for his contribution to pacifying Dali."

Jia Sidao sneered, waved his hands, and said, "I called him to see me, you all go down..."

~~
Jiang Chun raised his head and walked through the Imperial Street and entered the Privy Council, attracting the attention of countless officials along the way.

Recently, some people in the court praised him as a hero and spoke out, while others scolded him for conniving at the troubles of the feudal town.

never mind.

After going through these things, he has already thought very clearly, if Li Xia wants to stand on his own, he has already been tied to death on this ship.

If Li Xia is self-reliant, since the day Qingfu County practiced patrolling the river, he, the county magistrate, has been sheltering and conniving.

At that time, Jiang Chun will be the first to be punished for treason.

It is Li Xia's self-reliant strength that keeps him alive...

However, Jiang Chun was still a little timid when he walked into the lobby and looked at Jia Sidao who was sitting at the head.

Although Li Xia had made it very clear in his letter, Jiang Chun really didn't have the confidence to confront Jia Sidao face to face. After all, Jia Sidao was different from those officials of the Procuratorate.

It was only at the end of the year that Cheng Yuanfeng was easily fooled by a few words.

Deal with it carefully.

"Meet Ping Zhanggong."

Jia Sidao didn't respond, but looked at Jiang Chun coldly.

Jiang Chun was horrified by the stare, suppressed his emotions, and said, "I don't know what Pingzhang asked me to ask?"

"The memorial on the talk."

"Yes, Maqian today..."

"Ma Qian has been killed by Li Xia."

"But the charges have not been determined." Jiang Chun also wanted to show a tough demeanor, and said: "Using weapons without authorization and causing chaos below, this is a serious crime of treason! However, the charges are not yet determined, and there are many discussions in the court, and even false accusations against Li Jieshuai..."

"Hugh and I come here, it's just you and me here, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up."

Only then did Jiang Chun find the feeling of speaking generously, and was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by Jia Sidao when he didn't want to, and he was stunned for a moment.

Jia Sidao actually smiled, pointed to the chair beside him, and said, "Sit."

Jiang Chun hesitated for a moment, then sat down.

Jia Sidao played with the teacup and said, "Tell me what Li Xia wants."

"Li Jieshuai must be fair..."

"Shut up, I'm in charge of the military and state affairs, I don't have time to chat with you, a petty official, it's useless to talk, just say it straight."

Jiang Chun had only entered the door for a moment, and was already dizzy by repeated beatings by Jia Sidao.

He has not been a high-ranking official before, so he doesn't know if he can really speak out when discussing privately.

Thinking about it again, no wonder Li Xia was straightforward when he was the county lieutenant...

"Then let's just say, you want to be crowned a prince and have the right to establish a mansion and establish teeth."

"Ha, he can't think about it."

Jiang Chun also smiled, and casually chanted: "Baidi Gao is the town of Three Gorges, and Qutang has passed Bailao Pass."

Jia Sidao didn't smile, and looked straight at Jiang Chun, as if looking at a fool, and said, "Give me Li Xia's letter, stop talking nonsense."

"Li Jieshuai didn't have anything else to say to Pingzhanggong, only this sentence, to be crowned king, to open a mansion and to build a tooth."

"How about otherwise?"

Jiang Chun finally did not dare to threaten the court with words, and responded with poems.

"White Emperor Kuizhou has different cities, and the Shu River and Chu Gorge are mixed with different names. It is not God's will for heroes to rule, and the hegemony is annexed by things."

The poems before and after are all from Du Fu's "Ten Quatrains of Kuizhou Song", and the meaning is clear without saying.

——Otherwise, raise the flag to rebel, can you fight it?
The reason why Kuizhou Road is not called Chongqing Fu Road is because of the natural danger of the Kuimen Three Gorges.

Jia Sidao sneered and said, "I told you, he won't think about it."

Jiang Chundao: "The title of king is at least the prince of the Song Dynasty. It's not that Li Jieshuai wants the prince of the Song Dynasty, it's nothing more than taking care of the danger of the captives..."

"Jiang Chun! You are so brave!"

Jiang Chun was taken aback by the shouting, turned his head to look, and was relieved to see no soldiers rushing in outside the door.

Jia Sidao got up and pressed forward step by step.

It was only then that Jiang Chun remembered that the Pingzhanggong in front of him was not some frail scholar-official, but also a great general who had fought hard on the Jinghu battlefield.

"Are you also determined to seek rebellion? How dare you?"

Jiang Chun finally couldn't hold it anymore, and leaned back.

Jia Sidao was still moving forward, his eyes were full of murderous intent, almost touching Jiang Chun's face.

"Open and keep talking about the Three Gorges, when the court dare not send troops to quell the rebellion? I might as well tell you that today I have ordered Lu Wende to enter the Yangtze River, Gao Gao to enter the Han River, and Li Zengbo to detour to Dali. All three routes go hand in hand..."

"Li Jieshuai may not be able to resist the offensive..."

"But you can die."

Jiang Chun didn't expect Jia Sidao to have such courage, and his expression changed in shock.

Seeing this, Jia Sidao sneered.

"waste."

He finally stopped staring at Jiang Chun, sat back on the grand teacher's chair, straightened his sleeves, and moved gracefully.

Indeed, he once lost to Li Xia.

However, it's not like Li Xia can handle him by sending someone at will.

The head of the country has his own dignity.

"You don't deserve to talk to me, get out, let Li Xia send someone else."

Jiang Chun was still in panic.

He got up and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, swallowed, and spoke again.

"Mr. Pingzhang scared me...but... it's useless to scare me..."

Jiang Chun turned his head and looked at Jia Sidao.

If he can't even do this well and wants to send someone else, then the rest of the future will be left to others.

"If you have the ability, you will really kill me. Li Jieshuai is just ruling the roost on his own."

"He dares!"

"He dares." Jiang Chun did not hesitate.

Although his momentum was not strong, his tone was firm.

"There's no need to gossip anymore... Duke Pingzhang neither agrees nor kills me, so I will write back to Li Jieshuai saying that the court has refused to reward me."

After Jiang Chunyu finished speaking, he turned around and left as if he had collapsed.

He just remembered at this time that there are still many threats to Jia Sidao that he did not say.

For example, if Li Xia is not generously rewarded, Jia Sidao will be blamed for being behind the Ma Qian conspiracy.After all, Guan De has been controlled by Jiang Fan, and there are many ways to get it right.

Needless to say, Jia Sidao understood in his heart.

Just say the most powerful point, strength...

Show strength, show attitude.

Jie Shuai only asked him to do this.

He stretched out his hand to push the door, and heard Jia Sidao's voice coming from behind him.

"Hold on."

……

Jiang Chun then knew that the matter of being crowned king had been decided.

For the rest, it was up to Jia Sidao to argue with the court.

Of course the courtiers would not agree, but the dignified ability to deal with important military matters is still convincing.

And Jieshuai doesn't care how they talk about it at all, Sichuan and Shuai are the foundation.

As for Jia Sidao's shattered dignity, Jiang Chun couldn't control it.

Xiao Guan, don't worry about it...
