Chapter 845 Backing
"I hope that the day he resigns and returns to his hometown, he can be so happy and free."

The officials in the capital hall dispersed, someone brought a stool, Ye Mengding sat down slowly, and said with emotion.

The remaining important officials all knew who the "he" in this sentence referred to.

Wang Yu sighed and said, "It seems that he really doesn't intend to take care of it anymore?"

"How can I manage it? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Xia's few memorials are testing the reaction of the court, and he will soon be independent. He is already a prince, not An Lushan, but Cao Cao."

"Li Xia is far less than Cao Cao."

"It's not as good as Cao Cao. Li Xia doesn't have Han Xiandi in his hands, and Han Xiandi is in Jia Sidao's hands."

The atmosphere in the hall was stagnant, and everyone was shocked, and turned their heads to look at Dali Shaoqing Jiaxuan Weng.

Jia Xuanweng is tall and broad, with a majestic appearance, dignified and elegant. Although he was 50 years old at the time, he still has a straightforward personality.

He is from Meizhou, and he doesn't dislike Li Xia, who guards Shu, but he is loyal to Song Sheji and cannot tolerate rebellion.

Anyway, he has no selfishness, and he has no scruples about what he wants to say.

Seeing everyone's gazes at this moment, Jia Xuanweng raised his head and said, "What do you all look at me for? Is it inappropriate to compare the official family to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty? In fact, the official family is not as far away as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty!"

If someone else dared to say such rebellious words, they would be doomed.

But which one here is not so famous that even Jia Sidao can't move?Jiaxuan Weng's official reputation is good, and his political reputation is so strong, everyone just pretends that they haven't heard these words.

Ye Mengding pondered for a moment, sorted out his disturbed thoughts, and said: "The old man said... Li Xia is far away in Chang'an, he wants to separate himself from the regime, and there is a fact, we can't stop it. So simply let it go."

"It is said that we stopped him, but in fact he has not decided to send troops." Ma Tingluan said, "It seems that we are a bunch of idiots."

"Usually monopolizing Chao Gang, but when something really happens, he leaves it alone."

"He lost to Li Xia not once or twice, he is not sure."

"The incompetent."

"In the final analysis, the bad thing is that Jia Sidao sent Sun Huchen to attack Kuimen, but missed the best time."

"Jiangling incident, maybe Jia Sidao's crime of treason should be proved, or he should be blamed for the crime of improper employment, but today let him rant and push the state affairs, let it go?"

"Otherwise what?" Ma Tingluan said, "Can I blame Jia Sidao?"

"I can't take the blame. I and other civil servants are just a bunch of waste, and I can't even help the officials if they don't go to court."

"Enough! The state affairs are at this point, what's the use of cursing?!"

Ma Tingluan nodded, and said: "Stop cynicism, let's talk about your opinions... I don't agree with sending troops, especially if Jia Sidao sets up the governor's mansion and dispatches the world's troops, no matter whether Li Xia framed Jia Sidao or not, the military power of the whole country Don’t delegate it to your relatives. Second, the general Sun Huchen appointed by Jia Sidao is incapable of going here, and then requisitioned the people’s food reserves and handed them over to the generals..."

Having said that, he shook his head.

Ye Mengding asked: "If you don't seize Sichuan and Shu now, how can you have a chance in the future?"

Xu Jingsun, a Hanlin scholar, sneered: "When the public land law and the calculation method are successful, the national power of the Song Dynasty is at its peak, and there will be opportunities."

"There is no chance. The Mongolian army will attack Li Xia sooner or later."

"Oh, don't be sarcastic anymore."

"It's not sarcasm, the Mongolian army..."

"Cough cough."

Ye Mengding couldn't bear to listen, so he stroked his forehead with his hands.

"Whether there is a chance in the future or not." Jia Xuanweng bowed his hands to the sky, and said again: "With the emperor 'Shengming' sitting in the hall, how can you entrust military power to your relatives?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the atmosphere in the hall became stagnant again.

Even if Jia Sidao didn't want to rebel, who would dare to promise Jia Sidao to dispatch the whole country's soldiers and horses now that the official is in power?

Among other things, the official family looks like it may die due to alcohol and sex at any time. At that time, it will really be the power ministers who will abolish and establish, who can afford it.

Everyone fell silent.

"My opinion is that if you can avoid war, try not to wage war." In the end, Ma Tingluan spoke up and brought the topic back to the main topic, saying: "Since the seventh year of Xingchang, Li Xia has been the commander of Shu, and it has only been the fifth year. He still has his roots in Sichuan and Shu. Not too deep, we still need to focus on the officials who contact Shu and the country, how about it?"

After finishing speaking, Ma Tingluan looked at Jiang Wanli and asked, "What do Gu Xingong think?"

Jiang Wanli hadn't spoken from the beginning to the end, and there was helplessness in his eyes.

When state affairs have reached this point, no matter who they are or what they say, they all appear incompetent.

But still try to save it.

"It is true that some of my disciples used to be officials in Sichuan and Sichuan. I will contact them. In addition, please persuade Li Xia again."

When Jiang Wanli said this, his eyes became more bitter.

However, some officials nodded their heads again and again, appearing very naive.

"What Jiang Xianggong said is true. If Li Xia doesn't turn against me, the current situation in Song Dynasty can be said to be rejuvenated..."

Hearing the word "Zhongxing", Ma Tingluan suddenly felt inexplicably sad, turned his head away, and let out a long sigh.

Next, everyone stated which Sichuan and Shaanxi officials they could contact, and discussed how to prevent Li Xia from rebelling with momentum.

At this point in the discussion, the veterans all seemed exhausted, but they finally came up with ideas.

"Then please cooperate and contact each other."

Just as he was about to disperse, Jia Xuanweng asked again: "If Li Xia decides to break up the soil and stand on his own, but the officials of the Shu region fail to stop it, what shall we do?"

After a long time, when no one answered, Jia Xuanweng said: "If there is a rebellion and injustice, the country will not be a country. I dare not entrust the military power to Jia Sidao, how about asking the officials to drive me personally?"

After a long time, someone responded: "Speaking angry words, what good is it for the country's affairs?"

"It's not a matter of anger. If you want to suppress the rebellion, you can only ask the officials to conscript."

"In case of war, it would be lucky not to move the capital to the sea."

"Okay, okay, don't say any more."

Although Jia Xuanweng has some outrageous words, he is indeed loyal.

In the current situation, Jia Sidao couldn't believe it, and other prime ministers couldn't replace Jia Sidao in the short term, so only the Son of Heaven could order Lu Wende to put down the rebellion.

He was still waiting to talk, Ma Tingluan pulled him and persuaded him in a low voice.

"Master of the family, that's all. I'm the one who is willing to be a Kou Zhun, the official family... well, do you think it's possible?"

~~
In the evening, the results of the discussion were sent to the Geling Courtyard.

Jia Sidao, who is at home, is gambling with concubines.

In the yard, Yingying Yanyan, concubines of all kinds come from various backgrounds, ladies from all over the world, jade from a small family, prostitutes, maids of honor, female crowns, nuns...

"Mr. Pingzhang, the discussion in the hall has come to fruition."

Jia Sidao pinched his concubine's chin with a smile, and confessed: "You throw another fork, and we will win all the belly pockets of the teacher."

"How did Mr. Xiang know that Mrs. Tai is wearing a bellyband?"

After teasing a few words, Jia Sidao casually walked aside and listened to Liao Yingzhong's report.

"...That's why I can only contact the officials in the middle of Shu." At the end, Liao Yingzhong said: "The princes of the Manchu Dynasty are only capable of this."

This time, Jia Sidao did not scold "mediocrity".

He seemed to sigh, and turned to look at the concubines who were playing Guanpu in the courtyard.

"There are no more chips on the gambling table, what else can I do?"

"What did Duke Pingzhang say?"

"Nothing, let's go."

Jia Sidao watched Liao Yingzhong's back go away, and sighed to himself.

"I said... are these mediocre people really mediocre? They are worse than the Jinlianchuan Shogunate and the Hantai Shogunate? Give them a try in another official..."

This time, Jia Sidao deeply realized the gap between himself and Kublai Khan and Li Xia.

One of the opponents is the Great Khan, and the other is a feudal town, and any order given can be followed consistently.

And what about his state affairs of the Pingzhang Army?Just courtiers.

Dare to fight?

Li Xia had just fought Kublai Khan, so he should have taken the opportunity to put down the rebellion.But what if the battle goes wrong and the ministers force Jia Sidao to lead the battle in person?
At that time, the prime minister will be in command of the army outside, and he will not be allowed to defend himself in case of impeachment, so he should resign.

There are too many concerns like this.The little trust between Jia Sidao and the officials is so fragile that the rebels can destroy it with just one word.

For the first time, Jia Sidao found that at least one emperor who could firmly support him stood behind him in order for him to succeed.

The bigger the event, the more powerful the backing is needed.

But now?

Supporting a waste but not wanting to usurp the throne, intending to support this waste to rejuvenate the country in this troubled world.

Why did you choose such a path in the first place...

"I'm such a fucking bird, so stupid!"

In the past, he blamed the dignitaries and colleagues, but now he has no choice but to blame the officials as well. Jia Sidao completely forgot that in the past, it was the officials who delegated authority to everything that he thought were the most satisfying.

As for how to deal with Li Xia?

Kublai Khan will attack Li Xia sooner or later.

I miscalculated the situation this time, next time, let's wait until they both lose.

~~
And on April [-]th, Jiang Cai had just arrived in Chang'an.

He led the horse into Yongning Gate, looked up at Chang'an City, his eyes were stupefied.

The soldier who led the way asked, "Is this the first time the general has seen the old capital of the Tang Dynasty?"

"I've been to Kaifeng." Jiang Cai said.

The soldier who wanted to show off in front of Jiang Cai didn't expect him to be so knowledgeable and scratched his head.

"Not many people in the south have seen Kaifeng."

"In the entire Huaiyou army, one hand has been to Kaifeng." Jiang Caidao: "But there is nothing to say, I was taken away by the Mongolian people as a excuse."

"Huh? Is it?"

"There are even fewer Huaiyou soldiers who have been to Chang'an. I'm afraid I'm the first one."

At this point in Jiang Cai's words, he was walking to the government office when he heard someone beside him interject.

"And we're still in our own Chang'an."

Jiang Cai turned around and saw a young man Shi Shi Langlang approaching, bowed his hands to him, and announced his family name.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, General. Wu Ze and Wu Duifu are here to join the military for the royal office."

"Mr. Wu is too polite, please."

Jiang Cai didn't know the other party's official position, so whenever he met a civil official, he called him Xianggong.

He hurriedly asked Wu Ze to go first, but Wu Ze raised his hand to invite him to walk side by side.

Seeing Wu Ze's extraordinary demeanor, Jiang Cai knew that he was a son of a famous family, so he said, "I'm a rough man, I dare not walk with my husband, please."

"General, don't be too polite."

When Wu Ze saw Jiang Cai's reaction, he remembered something.

In the Song Dynasty, the status of generals was very low, especially in front of civil officials.

For example, during the Anti-gold Wars, Yu Yunwen encouraged Shi Jun, a military general who was more senior than him, and promised that if he could win, he would accept Shi Jun as his adopted son.Shi Jun was overjoyed to be a foster son for a civil official, and bravely killed the enemy.

Thinking about it again, Jiang Cai is still a reformed person, so one can imagine what it was like to meet civil servants in the past.

Wu Zesui slowed down and deliberately walked side by side with Jiang Cai.

"Xianggong is a civil servant, please go first."

"So what about civil servants? Civil servants go to the battlefield to see that it is an honor to walk side by side with the brave defenders."

Jiang Cai was taken aback.

Wu Ze smiled and said: "This may be the first difference the general sees. We only respect generals who have contributed to the country, and there is no such thing as 'returning to justice' here. We stand in the old capital of the Tang Dynasty and do not follow The territory of the Song Dynasty was used to divide the countrymen."

Jiang Cai turned his head to look, and suddenly felt his eyes sour.

It's ridiculous to say that after so many years of fighting, it's the first time he sees a civil servant from this angle...

The two walked side by side into the lobby of the government office, where several people were discussing matters with Li Xia.

Seeing Jiang Caiyuan approaching, someone immediately laughed and said, "Haha, this is General Huaiyou Jiang, right? Li Taigong said that this time General Jiang alone can hold back [-] soldiers from the south of the Yangtze River. Isn't this here? Hahaha."

"Stop laughing."

"Why can't you laugh? Isn't that a great thing?"

Faintly, someone could be heard whispering: "Although it was a good thing for us, he has experienced a disaster. Put yourself in his shoes..."

When Jiang Cai approached, someone coughed lightly, and the atmosphere immediately became solemn.

This kind of solemnity made Jiang Cai feel that it was too grand, and he didn't know how to repay this kindness and care.

"The one sitting at the top is King Qin." Before entering the hall, Wu Ze reminded Jiang Cai in a low voice.

The tone is a little proud.

"King Qin." Jiang Cai muttered in a low voice, amazed at Li Xia's prowess.

Whether a person is worth following can be determined in a short time sometimes.

The two entered the hall side by side, Wu Ze turned his head and could clearly see the admiration in Jiang Cai's eyes.

This is Song Ting's response to Sichuan and Shaanxi's self-reliance, sending courageous and bloody vanguard generals.

The vanguard has turned against him, Song Ting has lost his momentum, dare to stop Qin Wang from establishing a country?
