Chapter 712 The Goodness Is Like Water
In the second year of Song Xianding, at the beginning of May.

The scourge of war has gone away for more than half a year, and Guanzhong has regained its stability.

In the Chang'an government office, there is a chessboard under a ginkgo tree.

"Lian Zhonglang, Lian Zhonglang, from prime minister to Yishoufu Zhonglang, are you also happy?"

"Grand Wu's vision is shallow. Today I am the middle man of the palace, and tomorrow I will still be the prime minister of a country, and not only the prime minister of a province. How can I lose money?"

"Until now, have you covered up?"

"Then what should Duke Wu say? Why don't you ask him to restore his name, re-list the position of governor of the Song Dynasty, and ask the emperor of Song to issue an edict to suppress the rebellion?"

Wu Qian didn't answer, and pressed a chess piece.

Lian Xixian looked at the chessboard, couldn't help thinking about the way to break the chess, and murmured: "The chess skills are superb, the younger generation feels ashamed, but it's a pity that the master's chess skills are so high, I still can't save the Zhao family."

Wu Qian didn't answer again, picked up the feather fan that Lian Xixian put aside and fanned himself.

Lian Xixian said again: "At least the king of Pingling County is still a prince of the Song Dynasty, and his name is still there. Wu Gong's service for him is not a rebellion against the Song Dynasty. As for the future... Wu Gong can't control it at this age, let us young people That is, why worry about it?"

After hearing this, Wu Qian actually smiled, with even more helplessness in his eyes.

"If you can't solve chess, Shanfu will admit defeat. Today is a game of chess, and it's useless to take advantage of it."

"The best kindness is like water, follow the trend." Lian Xixian sighed.

The two started to accept this game of chess, and Wu Qian was really helpless.

Li Xia's rise was too fast. He regained Longxi and Guanzhong in one year, and became the king of the county in one year. It was hard to contain it.

"Shanxi and Heluo areas are now presided over by Ahema. According to the new news, Ahema has dismissed Shang Ting and Zhao Bi."

"I don't understand this color-eyed old man, let Shanfu tell me."

"I don't want to talk about him." Lian Xixian's eyes flashed with disgust, and he said: "Compared to him, Jia Sidao, who Wu Gongping scolded every day, can be called a gentleman."

"How can it be?"

"Be more unruly than me."

Wu Qian picked up the chess pieces and thought for a while, and he could roughly outline the appearance of Ahema in his mind.

Literary talent is slightly weaker than Jia Sidao, but his actions are more unscrupulous.

"It's this kind of person that I'm most afraid of."

"Mr. Wu needn't be afraid of him." Lian Xixian said: "It seems that there is Jia Sidao, so that the Duke can return to the king of the county. Now there is Ahema, which has forced Zhang Wulang of Bozhou to flee to the king of the county. Ha, goodness is like water. , goodness is like water."

"For Kublai Khan, security should be the most important thing in the situation in the Central Plains, and it is not appropriate to use Ahema's love to exclude dissidents. This is similar to Jia Sidao who is eager for quick success and quick benefits when he is in power."

"At least Jia Sidao acted out of a public heart. Ahema, it's all out of selfishness."

"..."

The two scolded their hated political opponents, as if to make sure that their political opponent was the worst.

Today's two famous figures in the north and the south, only at this time do they appear to lose their grace.

But chatting like this is just a pleasure.

In the end, Wu Qian angrily pressed another chess piece, saying: "Regardless of geographical ethnicity, there are treacherous people everywhere."

Lian Xixian squinted his eyes, realizing that he was about to lose again.

"The king of the county has asked Liu Heima to be the pacifier of Chengdu Fulu, and transferred Zhang Jue to Guanzhong. I'm going to Longxi soon."

Wu Qian paused when he shook the feather fan, and said, "No one will be able to play chess with the old man in the future."

"I hope that Mr. Wu will manage Guanzhong well, so that the treasury will be full. In the future, the king of the county can defeat Ahema and take Heluo. This is what you and I hope for. I am still busy with official duties, so I will leave."

Lian Xixian looked at the chessboard again, patted his knees, got up and left the yard.

Wu Qian smiled and leaned back on the chair.

He found that his worry about state affairs has become much less recently, he is old and frail, and he misses his children and grandchildren even more...

"Get drunk, stay with you. Sing a song, send you off. Where do you want to go all over the river and north?"

~~
"Come back, come back, come back, I will also do sailing and not return late."

Li Zengbo stepped out of the cabin, looked at the bustling Lin'an Wharf in front of him, and sighed.

He was sixty and three years old.

Commanding the two Huaihe Rivers, Xuanfu Sichuan, Zhizhi Jinghu, appeasing Guangxi, and transshipment along the Yangtze River, he has been fighting on the three fronts all his life.

Huaidong Huaixi and Sichuan, Guangxi Jinghu and along the river.

But Li Zengbo is not as accomplished as Lu Wende, he is better at governance, vigilance, and defense.

If the imperial court can look up his past records, he will find that the Mongolian army has attacked Sichuan, Dali, Ziqi, Guangdong and Guangxi... He has been aware of almost every conspiracy of the Mongolian army and reminded the imperial court to prepare early.

Yu Jie had been supported by him many times, Pu Zezhi was recommended by him, Liu Zheng had made meritorious service under his command...

Mou Zicai said that "from Shu to Wu, tens of thousands of miles away, Jia Sidao is the only one in Huaihe River today, and Li Zengbo is the only one in Jingshu".

Li Zengbo has no influence in the court, and this is the third time he has been dismissed since he became an official.

Because he was not a Jinshi.

The so-called hero who "becomes the charge of Jingshu with a whole body, standing like the Great Wall and thousands of cities", is also the "beginner of the same Jinshi" who the center wants to avoid.

When I got off the boat, my subordinate staff came to pick me up.

"You can meet Mr. Zhai. Mr. Pingzhang is free today, so I can see you, please."

Li Zengbo snorted and followed the people to the Privy Council...

~~
Jia Sidao has lost a lot of weight recently, but fortunately his New Deal has been quite effective.

He originally planned to take out [-] mu of fertile land from his family, but feeling the pressure, he simply used all of his family's [-] mu of farmland as official land.

Block the mouths of all opponents in the DPRK.

Even Rao Huchen was deeply moved, and wanted to support him with a few acres of employment land. Jia Sidao thought that this old pedantic minister had finally turned to support him, and wanted to help him get back together.

No, after a long talk, the two still disagree on political views, and they have many disagreements on the specific reform plan.

"Let's see Zongzhao, more than [-] million mu of public land has been redeemed. It has achieved great results, but it is far from the amount. Now it only buys the family with official positions, but many officials have sent their land to their relatives. We dare not Take the land of the homeless family..."

"What does Jia Pingzhang mean? It doesn't matter whether the officials or the people take over the land? No! Once this is done, the people's land will be forced to be bought by subordinate officials. It is absolutely impossible!"

"..."

Speaking of later, Rao Huchen refused to give in, and finally angered Jia Sidao again.

"Jia Sidao! You act too hastily, which will bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"The state is in danger, you open your eyes and see clearly!"

"..."

"Rao Huchen! Get out, get out! Wait a minute, if you walk out of this gate today, I will cut your second rank and take away your temple post, and you will have no official status when you return home, and no posthumous title after death!"

"Humph!"

Rao Huchen didn't look back.

Get out, get out, I'm not from the same way, and Jia Sidao doesn't need this kind of pedantic help.

Old and fatuous, without courage, used to stand by and look at each other coldly, lacking in planning.

Collect public land, strike and buy, the treasury can be collected from public land, and there is no need to exploit the common people. The long-standing evils of the Song Dynasty are being visibly changed by the naked eye...

"Ping Zhanggong, Li Zengbo has arrived."

"I don't want to deal with these pedantic people."

Jia Sidao let out a long breath, rubbed his face, and called Li Zengbo to see him.

~~
The conflict between Li Zengbo and Jia Sidao has a long history, dating back as early as ten years ago.

Jia Sidao, who was the envoy of the Jinghu system at that time, was transferred to the envoy of the Lianghuai system, and Li Zengbo, who knew the Chongqing government, was transferred to the envoy of the Jinghu system.

At the beginning of the defense change, the two admired each other's talents.

Li Zengbo gave Jia Sidao a very high evaluation.

"Ten years of Jianghan management, ten thousand miles of Bayu's solidarity... If you plan big, you will prepare everything, and if you have a long-term vision, you will be high-level. The ancient society is inferior to the ministers, who is the right one among the ministers today?!"

At that time, Jia Sidao, as the candidate personally recommended by Meng Gong to succeed Jinghu Defense, also deserved this evaluation.

Li Zengbo also wrote a poem about this, saying, "White feathers wave the new jade tent, and the red curtain half-rolls the old red building. This trip has rectified the world, and Gong Gunlai's clothes are blackheaded."

But in the second year of the defense change, the two had political disagreements.

At that time, Xiangfan was dilapidated, and Li Zengbo believed that "Xiangyang is the backbone of the world, an important place in ancient and modern times, and the north and the south must compete", so the defense of Xiangyang must be restored.

Jia Sidao objected on the grounds that "the barrier is far away and has nothing to do with barriers".

Li Zengbo refused to listen, so Jia Sidao tried to obstruct him. Three years later, he finally transferred Li Zengbo to another party, intervened in the affairs of Jinghu himself, and transferred Lu Wende, his direct descendant, as the commander of Jinghu.

Since then, the grievances between the two have deepened, and gradually reached the point of irreconcilability.

Li Zengbo saw early on that Jia Sidao was simply arrogant and could not tolerate any disobedience and greed for power.

When I came here today, when Rao Huchen left angrily, Li Zengbo chatted with him for a while, and finally said: "Jia Sidao will betray his relatives sooner or later."

"Ke Zhai Gong's eyes are like torches..."

~~
Jia Sidao sat on the grand teacher's chair, watched Li Zengbo come in, and did not get up to greet him.

He is younger than Li Zengbo, but his official position has always been higher than that of Li Zengbo.

"Brother Changru, you are welcome."

"Stop being hypocritical!"

Li Zengbo was not polite, and he didn't want the city government in front of Jia Sidao. He pointed straight at Jia Sidao and shouted: "It is rumored that Liu Zongshen, the magistrate of Xunzhou, poisoned brother Lu Zhai, but you are the master?!"

Holding the teacup, Jia Sidao said calmly: "Wu Qian is half buried in the soil, why should I poison him?"

"If I find out about this..."

"Today, I summon you to the court in the name of Pingzhang's important military and state affairs. If you want to discuss state affairs, if you are still a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, don't play tricks and shadows in front of me. I don't know what it means!"

"Humph!"

Li Zengbo flicked his sleeves heavily, displeased.

Jia Sidao was most annoyed that these people put on this posture at every turn, with contempt in their eyes, and ordered a stack of documents to be placed on Li Zengbo's case.

"Today I ask the officials to revive brother Changru because of Li Ni's affairs..."

"If you have the ability to frame me again and again, there is no need to sue me again."

"Brother Changru is at least more talented than the person who failed in Sanjing."

Li Zengbo was very annoyed by Jia Sidao's character of always ridiculing and humiliating others.

He shook his head, only felt that Jia Sidao was hopeless.

"Jia Sidao, let me advise you again, those who despise the people of the world will be rejected by the world."

"Let me also advise you, don't be so stubborn, or you will have worshiped your prime minister a long time ago." Jia Sidao sneered again, and sighed: "If I am willing to listen to advice, I will lose myself to a scholar-bureaucrat."

"Oh, if you are willing to listen to my persuasion, why did Li Ni end up here when Mo Yuan transferred me away from Sichuan, Shu and Jinghu?"

The word "Li Ni" caught his ears, and Jia Sidao felt relieved.

This time, it was rare for him to give in to others, he closed his eyes helplessly, and murmured: "Brother Changru, I admit that you were right to restore Xiangfan's defense back then, is it alright?"

Li Zengbo shook his head and sighed again.

Jia Sidao had no choice but to say again: "Based on the north and the south, Xiangyang is like the echo of the head and tail of a long snake. It has become the eye of chess in the world today. You have a long-term vision and insight into the situation. You are right... Are you satisfied?"

"If you really repent, you should transfer me to Jinghu, not Longxi." Li Zengbo said, "It's just because I'm not your direct descendant."

Jia Sidao closed his eyes and said patiently, "Brother Changru won't save Da Song Sheji?"

This time, it was Li Zengbo who remained silent for a long time.

The two who had had a deep grudge for a long time had to work together again.

There is only one reason... Li Ni.

~~
After sending Li Zengbo away, Jia Sidao was in a bad mood.

In his life, his self-esteem has been frustrated many times because of Li Xia!

"What's happened to Li Ni recently?" He asked Liao Yingzhong, "Why didn't you tell me about Li Ni for a long time?"

"Didn't Mr. Pingzhang say that if it's not a big deal, don't talk about Li Ni..."

"Say."

"There's not much movement. Some smugglers have repeatedly come to Xiangfan... By the way, there is a small matter in Lin'an. Concubine Yao is seriously ill."

"Quan Manniang, that old stupid woman, has not died of shame, is Yaofei seriously ill?"

"Mr. Pingzhang be careful!"

"Oh, Li Ni dared to kill the king, what's wrong with me cursing?"

A flash of thought flashed across Jia Sidao's eyes, and he murmured: "At this time, is Yao Fei seriously ill?"

"Ping Zhanggong, according to the students, Li Ni and Yaofei, no matter how you look at them, they look like..."

"Well, it can't be fake, I see with my treacherous eyes..."

In the middle of Jia Sidao's speech, he suddenly thought of Li Huiniang, feeling bored for no reason, and couldn't utter the ridicule.

"Think you have to feign death and go to Hanzhong?" Liao Yingzhong asked again: "Would you stop me?"

"What are you doing to stop her? It's better to be in Hanzhong for the calamity that will harm the country and the people. Go to the residence of the eldest princess of Ruiguo to seal the invitation and invite the eldest princess to play a game."

"Yes……"

Jia Sidao waved his hand, picked up a ball, tiptoed a few times in the courtyard, suddenly felt that it was not interesting, so he sat down on the ground while supporting the stone table.

Rao Huchen, Li Zengbo, Concubine Yan...the former political enemies have left again, Lin'an seems to have a sense of the end of the song.

"It's strange, the Yangtze River is clearly flowing from west to east, why do you always feel that the river is flowing backwards recently?"
