Chapter 141 Opportunity?
In fact, Zhao Yun actually felt something as soon as he said the words "Hey, on your face...", so he immediately shut up. The reactions of the ministers later obviously confirmed his concern after talking too much, but he could not take them back.
He glared at Jia Sidao with a angrily glance, Zhao Yun reached out and signaled Jia Sidao to find a place to stay here, so that he would not continue to embarrass him.
Jia Sidao bowed helplessly and stepped back into the corner to stand. The people who could sit in the Qinzheng Hall were almost all important officials in the court with goldfish bags hanging around their waists, so naturally there was no place for him, the junior.
There was a quarrel that made Jia Sidao a little dizzy.
The protagonist is undoubtedly Qiao Xingjian and Shi Songzhi, one is the prime minister and the other is the deputy prime minister. The matter of whether to send troops to support the Dali Kingdom is blushing due to the classic dispute.
What impressed Jia Sidao the most was that the two of them didn't bring any dirty words from beginning to end. As for Zhao Yun, he supported his chin with his arms, and he even seemed to have a relish. I have to say that they were both masters.
Gradually, Jia Sidao understood the situation in the Qinzheng Hall.
Although Zheng Qingzhi and Yu Tianxi rarely talked, they still interjected a few words from time to time to support their main attacker Shi Songzhi. But what made Jia Sidao a little confused was that he originally thought that the three old people who were sarcastic and he didn't know were Qiao Xingjian's people, but after watching for a long time, he found that things were somewhat different from what he imagined, that is, Qiao Xingjian was fighting alone from beginning to end, and the three people were all in a manner that they were not in charge of themselves.
He neither helped Qiao Xingjian nor refuted Shi Songzhi, but he started watching the wall. Seeing the appearance of the three of them, he cared more about Zhao Yun, who had been watching with relish.
Obviously, maybe the three of them were in an alliance with Qiao Xingjian, but this alliance was definitely not as reliable as Shi Songzhi and Yu Tianxi. At least in the matter of Dali Kingdom. But then again, Shi Songzhi has obviously broken his face with Qiao Xingjian. At this time, the three of them were in the alliance as an alliance. It is obvious that the matter of Dali Kingdom was not an isolated incident for Qiao Xingjian's alliance.
I have always heard that after Zheng Qingzhi's "Little Yuanyou", Qiao Xingjian took advantage of the situation of defeat in Luo, and used the conflict between Shi Songzhi and Zheng Qingzhi to contact a large number of people from Zhu Xue's school. He also brought down the left prime minister Zheng Qingzhi and the Jinghu commander Shi Songzhi, who was in full swing at that time, and not only ascended to the position of left prime minister as he wished, but also allowed Shi Songzhi to waste several years of vain at home.
During the years when Qiao Xingjian was the left prime minister, a large number of officials from the Shi clan, namely officials from the Siming clan, were dismissed for various reasons, and exiled. To this day, there are very few officials from the Shi clan in the Siming clan.
On the contrary, more officials from Zhulizhixue began to enter the court by using Qiao Xingjian and gradually became bigger.
Now it seems that it is obvious that the officials of Zhu Liyi's faction seem to have an increasingly intensified conflict with Qiao Xingjian. As the power in the court increases, they have begun to seek their own voice.
As for King Rong Zhao and Rui, they simply closed their eyes and raised their spirits. It is said that the only prince of the Song Dynasty is very low-key and rarely participates in political affairs. It seems to be true now.
Thinking of this, Jia Sidao shook his head secretly.
This court was in chaos just because of the Dali Kingdom, and Zhao Yun even had the intention to watch the show. If he encountered other major events, wouldn’t he be completely ruined?
"Hache!"
As Zhao Yun listened, he seemed to have passed the excitement and actually yawned.
At this time, Qiao Xingjian and Shi Songzhi seemed to be tired of fighting. Seeing Zhao Yun's appearance, they snorted coldly and stopped talking. A debate that Jia Sidao thought would last until endlessly ended came to an abrupt end.
"The Lord, I think that this matter is still necessary for Your Highness Rong."
The three Neo-Confucians who had been observing the wall finally spoke at this time. The person who spoke was the middle-aged man who had previously suggested that Jia Sidao was insulting his manner.
"Oh? Yuan Qing, where did this come from?" Zhao Yun was so excited when he heard Yuan Fu's words.
King Rong Zhao and Rui, who were sitting at Zhao Yun, opened their eyes when they heard the words of the middle-aged man surnamed Yuan.
Zhao and Rui naturally recognized Yuan Fu.
The direct scholar of Fuwen Pavilion, the official doctor, the daily man, the clerk, and the secretary of the Central Secretariat, and the special gift of goldfish bags by the Imperial College. He is now a representative figure of the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucian school of the Song Dynasty. How could he not know the close ministers and lecturers around Zhao Yun?
To be honest, Zhao Yurui actually knew that he was just a formality when he came to participate in this court discussion. Of course, he not only did not care about whether Dali was alive or dead, but also did not care about all the political affairs of the Song Dynasty and did not want to care about it.
Just because he is Zhao Yun's only younger brother and the only prince of the Song Dynasty today.
"Return to the emperor, the Detective Office under the charge of His Highness Rong is the best at knowing the situations of our surroundings in the Song Dynasty." When Yuan Fu said of His Highness Rong, he bowed slightly to Zhao and Rui.
"What Yuan Qing said is very reasonable." Zhao Yun nodded after hearing Yuan Fu's words, then turned his head to look at Zhao Yurui and said, "With Rui, the Detective Office, have the military information of the Dali Kingdom in recent months?"
"Before returning to the emperor, I have reviewed all the letters and reports from the Detective Office in the past few months, but have not found any letters and reports about the Dali Kingdom. In addition, most of the detailed works of the Detective Office aim at the military information of the Mongols north of the Yangtze River. They rarely collect small information such as Dali."
Zhao and Rui were just telling the truth.
In fact, he knew very well that Zhao Yun, the actual controller of the Detective Office, was the clearest. The reason why he was asked to come was just to go through the formalities and act. Who would do this for the specific situation depends on everyone's understanding.
When Zhao Yun heard Zhao and Rui's words, he nodded and said nothing. Zhao Yun did not speak. Qiao Xingjian and Shi Songzhi seemed to know that no matter how they quarreled, the most important thing was to look at Zhao Yun himself. Therefore, the huge Qinzheng Hall suddenly fell into silence.
"Master, I have something to say, but I don't know..."
Jia Sidao, who had been standing in the corner with his legs and waist aches, couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't know how long it would take for this meaningless court meeting. He gritted his teeth and put the words Jia Guifei's advice aside and gave birth to the Tao.
As soon as Jia Sidao spoke, the eyes of the important officials in the palace were once again focused on him.
However, Qiao Xingjian and others just took a look and then withdrew their eyes. None of them thought Jia Sidao could say anything meaningful.
I think it was just fried rice and showed my face in front of the emperor.
When Zhao Yun saw that Jia Sidao was talking, he was a little surprised, and even had a hint of displeasure in his eyes. He didn't think Jia Sidao could give any meaningful suggestions, and it was obviously not the time to show off at this time.
"Haha, it's okay to say something, but it's okay to say it."
After all, he was still his brother-in-law. Even if Zhao Yun was unhappy, he still had to give face. Even if he didn't give face to Jia Sidao, he would still give face to the beloved concubine who was still pregnant with his descendants.
"Master, all the great masters. The Prime Minister and Shi Shenzhi have already made clear the pros and cons of rushing to Dali Kingdom. I believe the emperor and all the great masters know it."
When Yuan Fu heard Jia Sidao's words, he rolled his eyes. This lazy guy actually knew that Qiao Gong had made clear all the pros and cons. So what else are you doing?
Jia Sidao seemed to have not seen the expressions of Yuan Fu and others, and continued to say to himself: "In fact, this matter does not have to be so complicated. As the Prime Minister said, if the Dali Kingdom destroyed the country, it would have been destroyed when the letter of the country was still on the way. If the Dali Kingdom had not been destroyed, the Dali Kingdom was full of poisonous miasma and now it is about to enter Xia, and the situation will only become more and more powerful for the Dali Kingdom. After all, compared with the Mongolian army that has been working thousands of miles to fight, the Dali people already occupied the right places and the people and both sides. Now, with the time and time, it is all three sides, and the Mongols may not be long before the day of retreating troops."
Hearing Jia Sidao's words, Qiao Xingjian, who had a little disdain on his face, gradually faded away the disdain on his face, and looked at Shi Songzhi with a deep meaning.
Zhao Yun's expression gradually regained his face, he nodded and signaled Jia Sidao to continue.
"But then again, it is not ruled out that the Mongols had already destroyed the Dali Kingdom at this time. The reason why they have not made any moves so far is that the Mongols have been secretly preparing and intend to use a fatal blow to my Chengdu Prefecture and other places at a certain time to fight. Therefore, we have to be careful of this matter."
The atmosphere in Qinzheng Hall is a bit solemn.
"I think the most urgent task is that the emperor immediately issued an order to order the Sichuan commander Zhao Rongrui to immediately send his scout into Dali's territory to explore the virtual and real Dali. First, we can check whether Dali was destroyed by Mongolia. If it is destroyed, Chengdu Prefecture and other places can prepare early. I think that the Mongolian army will attack Sichuan and other places from north, south and west soon."
When they heard Jia Sidao's words, Zhao Yun, Qiao Xingjian, Shi Songzhi and others all changed their faces.
Sichuan and other places rely on the strong cities and terrain to resist the Mongolian army with difficulty, and each time they will lose dozens or even hundreds of cities. They will not be able to recover after the Mongols voluntarily retreat. If the Mongols attacked from three sides, wouldn’t Sichuan, Chengdu Prefecture and other places go down in one battle?
"The Lord doesn't have to worry too much, this is just the worst case that I thought of."
When Jia Sidao saw Zhao Yun's disdain, he was worried that he would lose his courage. Then, he would not have to say anything about the following words. So he quickly spoke out to comfort him.
"Haha, it's reasonable. What about the second one? Tell me quickly."
When Zhao Yun heard Jia Sidao say this, he felt a little embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, and urged him urgently.
"Secondly, if Mongolia has not destroyed Dali, the emperor and all the great masters can naturally rest assured that they don't have to worry about whether to rush to Dali to support Dali, right? Of course, I think that if Dali has not destroyed the country, this may be a good opportunity for our Song Dynasty."
"Good opportunity?"
