end song

Chapter 706
Ye Mengding twirled his long gray beard, took another look at Jia Sidao, and found that this usually frivolous and impolite person was very talkative today.

But he still shook his head and replied resolutely: "No, absolutely not."

Jia Sidao took a deep breath, patiently, and said slowly: "This matter is not something that you and I can stop without agreeing. To seal him is just to lead a non-hereditary county king from afar, and it can still show the court's merits. I mean, no matter what, he is still a Song official in name. But if he is not granted the title, he will raise the flag and proclaim himself king, and the situation will be worse than a hundred times."

"The evidence of Li Xia's treason is conclusive. If he is not severely punished but sealed, where is the discipline?!"

When Ye Mengding said this, his voice became more and more serious, and he shouted: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will punish them if they get it!"

Jia Sidao rubbed his brows and said: "If you can't punish him, Kuimen must have been lost."

"Since this is the case, Jia Pingzhang should quickly mobilize troops from Jinghu, Guangdong and Guangxi to suppress the rebellion."

"Did Ye Xiang hear that? I said, Kuimen has been lost." Jia Sidao's patience was gradually exhausted, "If he hadn't announced Li Xia's rebellion earlier, he must have seized the entire Kuizhou Road."

"Come back if you lose it, why don't you want it?" Ye Mengding said aggressively, "The upper reaches of the Yangtze River are no better than the Central Plains. They are really the gates of the Great Song Dynasty. How can they be rebellious? Since Jia Pingzhang was entrusted with the important task of military affairs, is this the way to act? !"

Jia Sidao had a rare good temper and was not angry. He closed his eyes and said slowly: "Whether it is the Yangtze River or the Han River, it is so difficult to go against the current through natural dangers. The cost of food and supplies is ten times that of Li Ni... "

"The national power of the Song Dynasty is a hundred times that of Li Ni!"

"Da Song not only wants to get rid of Li Ni, but also..."

"Jia Pingzhang is prevaricating..."

"enough!"

Jia Sidao suddenly yelled, stood up, and slapped the table hard with a "bang".

"Ye Mengding! Don't be ashamed!"

He finally couldn't take it anymore, "Ye Xiang" stopped screaming, and stared at Ye Mengding, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Even if he dared to kill Wu Qian, Ye Mengding, an old man who was an emperor's teacher, would have wanted to kill him every time he obstructed him from doing things.

Ye Mengding shook his hand and his face changed.

Although he was afraid, he also had the courage to face Jia Sidao's anger, and said slowly: "Old man... begging the old man to return home."

"Hanniaohozen, I'll fuck you!"

"Jia Sidao! Do you still have the dignity of a minister?!"

"I'm not happy for you, old and stupid prisoner, if you dare to say a word again, I will kill you with medicine."

"Old man, beg the old man to return home."

"Dead prisoner, please listen to me clearly. I will ask you to appease Qingliu, make Li Ni king, and establish a mansion."

Ye Mengding stiffened his neck and said, "Old man, I would rather die than indulge the rebel."

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking?! Cherish the feathers, right? The collapse of the world has nothing to do with you, right? Say some nonsense, pat your ass and get the hell out, and wait until I clean up this mess and inherit this ruined reputation." , It’s you hozens coming back to fight for power again, you think it’s beautiful!”

"The ancestors would like to entrust herdsmen to protect the country. I will not do it by making the rebellious ministers kings and causing disasters to the country! The old man can only ask the officials to declare Li's crime of rebellion and call the world to put down the rebellion. If it doesn't work, he can die."

"Huh? Find out who is conniving Li Ni to where he is today, and who is it?!"

Ye Mengding didn't answer.

Jia Sidao patted the table twice again.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Two years ago, the first emperor and I saw Li Ni's ulterior motives and summoned him to return to court. What happened in the end? Who dared to kill the king?"

Ye Mengding closed his eyes, shook his head, and said, "The late emperor didn't die because of killing."

"You don't want to admit it, do you? Even if Li Xia goes against the law again, you won't admit that he killed the king. Because it's you idiots who let the tiger go back to the mountain in order to deal with me... You are so stupid that you are hopelessly stupid and appallingly stupid!"

"Nonsense."

"Li Xia is rebellious, everyone can see it. But who is as cowardly as a mouse, who dare not declare to the world, but dares to secretly order Ma Qian to do something to scare the snake? It's you idiots again!"

Jia Sidao became more and more angry as he spoke, and waved his hand heavily, as if he was about to faint on the spot from Ye Mengding's anger.

"I would rather die than indulge a rebel? Ha, what a person who would rather die than indulge a rebel, you old fool, open your eyes and see, who is the person who is here to clean up the mess for you now?!"

Ye Mengding still closed his eyes and did not answer.

Jia Sidao was furious and pulled up his collar.

"I tell you to suppress those miscellaneous officials in the court who gossip all day long, and reward Li Xia."

Ye Mengding said slowly: "Jia Pingzhang is good at seizing power, but it's not appropriate to force the old man to rebel, right?"

"One last time, I ask you to come forward, or I will kill you with medicine."

"The arbors and pavilions lean against the canopy, and take care of themselves despite the wind and rain. Chengyin is fortunate to have the protection of Yunfeng, so how can the knife and ax be damaged?"

Jia Sidao was furious, he lifted Ye Mengding up, gritted his teeth and said, "I really want to peel off this old face of yours to see how thick it is."

"In spite of the wind and rain... Take care of yourself."

~~
On this day, Jia Sidao suddenly discovered that although he could decide whether the court officials would go or stay, he couldn't change their minds.

Can't even keep their mouths shut.

In just two days, half of the people in the government and the opposition scolded him for conniving Li Ni.

He couldn't hear who was talking, only the buzzing sound kept ringing.

He also knew very well that even if he made the opposite choice this time, half of the people would still scold him for wronging the heroes.

Sitting in this important position of Pingzhang's military affairs, everything is wrong...

After a long time, he picked up his pen angrily, stained it with thick ink and then swayed it on the big wall of the Privy Council.

It was a poem, and he no longer only loved to write poems for crickets as he used to.

……

"Cleaning up the world is a burden, but it's easy on the shoulders and hard on the shoulders. I advise you to hold your hands high, how many people will look at you coldly?!"

~~
evening.

The sedan chair walked slowly from the Privy Council to Jia's house by the West Lake.

Jia Sidao sat wearily in the sedan chair, still wondering if the medicine killed Ye Mengding.

As for Li Xia's matter... don't worry.

Jiang Chun also saw that the court was like this, so it was not difficult for him to write a letter to appease Li Xia first.

It's okay to drag it.

Jia Sidao had always had a guess. Since Li Xia had said that he wanted to recruit Liu Heima to join him, according to his style, he might not report it if he had already won Guanzhong, and he would make more progress after he was crowned king.

As for Guanzhong, there is nothing to say.

When Kublai Khan looks back, he must tackle key problems first, and then let's talk about Li Xia's ability to defend.

The Mongolian envoy Hao Jing is now in the hands of Jia Sidao, and he has his own views on the situation.

The next two or three years will be a critical moment for accumulating national strength. Li Xia cannot possibly compare to Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty after sweeping away the evils...

Thinking of this, when the sedan chair landed, Jia Sidao lifted the curtain and came out, but he saw Guihepu coming forward, hesitant to speak.

"Say."

"Alang, this..."

"Let you tell."

Guihepu didn't dare to say it in the end, but whispered: "Ah Lang, please follow the villain to Meilou."

……

Looking through the window, Jia Sidao was slightly taken aback.

I saw Li Huiniang sitting among the flowers and trees, her head bowed, her eyes full of melancholy, a young and handsome mansion servant was kneeling and whispering something in front of her.

Li Huiniang sometimes smiled sadly, pushed him lightly, turned her back and shook her head, then turned her head reluctantly for a moment...

Jia Sidao closed his eyes and didn't want to look any more.

"Alang?"

"It's dealt with."

Hearing this faint order, Guihepu bowed his head to answer, then looked up again, only to see Jia Sidao had gone away.

He suddenly felt that after Alang became an extremely human minister, he was not as happy as before.

In the past, there was a concubine Ji in the mansion who had a good friend with Menge, and she let them go after laughing.

It's useless to think about these things, Guihepu recruited a few servants, and whispered a few words.

That night.

"puff."

"puff."

Two corpses tied with stones sank into West Lake...

~~
a few days later.

The storytelling in the well teahouses in Lin'an City, which praised the victory of Ezhou, or publicized the battle of the recovery of Longxi and Dali, gradually no one listened to them.

What makes the people in the city even more interesting is a romantic affair about the Xiangfu that has been widely circulated recently.

"But aren't Jia Pingzhang and Li Jieshuai all heroes of the Song Dynasty? I heard it yesterday..."

"What's more interesting? One is a foreign vassal and the other is a treacherous prime minister. This time they are colluding."

"No way, combat achievements..."

"That's all that is said, what's the point? I heard a secret story, please listen to it."

"..."

"Then Li Huiniang was robbed by old thieves, trapped in a devil's lair, and accompanied by tigers and wolves, but she did not forget her hatred of humiliating herself and killing her father. In February, she happened to meet Mr. Pei Lang in the West Lake, and it was just a few words of praise..."

"It's so vicious."

"The old villain's heart is like a snake and a scorpion, his conscience is lost..."

~~
Privy Council.

"Li Ni's misfortune has been extreme since Cheng Yuanfeng's reign. For the time being, I will tolerate it and assume that the king will entrust it to me. When I rectify the bad government and withdraw my hand, how can the barren land of Sichuan and Shu fight against the entire rich and prosperous Song Dynasty? Therefore , the method of public land is..."

In the middle of Jia Sidao's speech, he saw Liao Yingzhong rushing in, raised his hand, got up and left the hall, and turned to the back hall for a secret discussion.

"Ping Zhanggong, I have checked the source of the rumor."

"Ye Mengding?"

"It's not Ye Mengding. He has been busy resigning recently, and he has submitted letters three times."

"Who else?"

After Jia Sidao asked, Liao Yingzhong didn't answer for a long time, she raised her head and said, "Who else could Li Xia be if he didn't act like this?"

Liao Yingzhong hesitated, and pondered: "This time, it doesn't seem to be written by someone, but it seems to spread spontaneously. Too many scholars in the city took the initiative to arrange it. In just a few days, it has spread to two Zhejiang provinces. I'm afraid it can't be stopped... ..."

Jia Sidao seemed to be taken aback for a moment.

"Why? Just because I named Li Ni?"

"I'm afraid not." Liao Yingzhong paused, but said in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's for the Gongtian Law."

Jia Sidao's face became more and more gloomy.

"Ping Zhanggong, there is one more thing."

"Say."

"Lv Wende sent a letter, mentioning that he had taken refuge with Uncle Xie Fang in the early years, and said that he was willing to be a substitute for Uncle Xie Fang..."

"It's only been a few days? He has already got the news?"

"It must be someone who was sent to observe the movement in the court. This time, he probably wants to express to Lord Pingzhang that...he will not attack the Three Gorges and enter Shu."

Jia Sidao's hands hidden in his sleeves were already trembling.

"Mr. Pingzhang, do you want to slow down the public land law and deal with Li Ni first..."

"No, no, on the contrary, we should implement the law of public land as soon as possible. It's fine for Li Xia to dare to be my enemy. What are those mediocre people who rely on me to live in peace?"

"What about Li Ni?"

Jia Sidao felt more and more pressured, took two steps, and said: "I wanted to procrastinate a little longer, but I didn't expect that we can't procrastinate now. Tell Jiang Chun that he should also do something ..."
