Chapter 419 Leaving

Tulei naturally knew the news long ago when the great victory in Caizhou in the Song Dynasty, especially Lin'an City. For this matter, Tulei, the deputy envoy, has been going to the Ministry of Rites to argue a lot in the past two days. However, now he has not even met Xie Jubo, and he has no way to argue.

Tu Lei did not doubt the credibility of the matter. After all, he also had his own channels to learn some news that ordinary people didn't know. The reason why he came to the Ministry of Rites was to delay time and spy on the current attitude of the Song Dynasty. Because Tu Lei had discovered that over the years, with the Battle of Caizhou, the Song Dynasty seemed to have changed its previous mentality towards Mongolia without fighting, and gradually became the voluntary desire to fight.

He was not worried about this problem.

Today, seeing such a black-armored cavalry that I had never seen before made Tu Lei feel even more anxious. What did Mongolian state rely on? Isn’t it relying on the invincible iron cavalry? As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the tricks. Tu Lei is obviously such an expert. What is a cavalry? Tu Lei’s vision is definitely much better than that of most people present.

Tu Lei is sure that the black armored cavalry that suddenly appeared in Lin'an City as Zhao Yun's guard will definitely not be much inferior to the most elite Mongolian iron cavalry. However, Tu Lei is sure that if there were the same number of cavalry, this black armored cavalry could definitely easily destroy the Mongolian iron cavalry, because the weapons and equipment of this cavalry are much better than that of the Mongolian cavalry.

What I saw at this moment was only a cavalry of less than a thousand people. If there were only a thousand people, Tu Lei would naturally not take it seriously, but I was afraid that there would be more such cavalry not appearing. After all, there was such a cavalry, but it could change the situation on the battlefield at any time. Looking at the nearly thousand-armored cavalry, Tu Lei looked gloomy.

...

In the southern suburbs of Lin'an City, a month ago, all the things needed to sacrifice to heaven were built. Almost half of the imperial guards, known as 800,000, were dispatched, covering the entire southern suburbs of Lin'an City. In Lin'an City, two assassinations occurred, Meng Gong and Jia Sidao took place in just over a year. At this moment, Lin'an City was released, not only all the powerful people of the Song Dynasty appeared, but even the emperor, empress, prince Qiu, were there. No one dared to take it lightly. If something went wrong, it would be a simple matter.

By the time Zhao Yun's car arrived, the entire southern suburbs were already crowded.

With the rumbling drums, Xie Jubo, the Minister of Rites in full dress, ascended to the altar of sacrifice to heaven, and the ceremony of sacrifice to heaven officially began. All the rituals were carried out according to the Zhou system. Although it was complicated, it was extremely solemn and solemn. Seeing Zhao Yun kowtow and praying with the ceremony, Jia Sidao, who had participated in such a grand ceremony for the first time, had a broad vision.

However, Jia Sidao's mind was not above the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

After participating in the ceremony of worshiping the sky, Jia Sidao will no longer participate in the subsequent ceremony of worshiping the Jingling Palace, the ancestor worship ceremony of the ancestral temple, and the final ceremony of the crown prince's title, but will leave directly from the southern suburbs to go to the wharf. There, the original Xiangyang Navy Commander, the Guangdong Navy Commander, is commanding the Jianghai, and five naval warships are waiting for Jia Sidao. In addition to Jianghai, there are also the former prefect of Ezhou, the current prefect of Jingjiang, Hong Wenhao and Yu Jie, who are also on the tower ship.

Of course, Xu Ruoxi, who was pregnant with six families, and a group of maids and servants of the Jia family, including Liu Ru and others, had already packed their luggage and waited on the boat, preparing to follow Jia Sidao and go south to Guangdong from the waterway.

It can be said that the Jia Mansion, which is still in Lin'an City, is empty except for the few servants who guard the house and protect the house.

The reason for this arrangement is not only to avoid suspicion, but more importantly, Guangdong Road has been established for three months, and the Guangnan East Road merged with Guangnan West Road. It can be said that it is in a headless place. The longer it delays, the more variables it may occur. Now, Zhang Xing, the former Guangnan East Road pacifier who should have come to Lin'an City to report his duties half a month ago, and Liu Wenji, the former Guangnan West Road pacifier who should have come to Lin'an City to report his duties, did not arrive in Lin'an City either.

The two of them reported to Zhao Yun's letter, but the reasons for the delay were the same. They were both long and sometimes felt the wind and cold.

Although the merger of Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road caused many people to lose their official hats, Zhao Yun also paid the capital. In addition to Zhang Xing and Liu Wenji, both of them also gave the title of Grand Secretary of Duanming Palace and the rank of governor of the Privy Council, the other officials who were originally from the Guangnan East Road Pacification Envoy's Office were also appointed and were not directly removed.

Strictly speaking, both Zhang Xing and Liu Wenji have been promoted. Of course, compared with the original rank of the border officials, it is obviously the most comfortable that the rank of the border officials is to the current emperor.

In addition, according to the news from Yu Ci and others, the establishment of the Maritime General Office in various parts of Guangdong has not been very smooth, and it has been difficult to make things difficult everywhere. Of course, this is not the main reason. What directly prompted Jia Sidao to go south is because the Maritime General Office in Fuzhou and Quanzhou that he received a few days ago was directly seized by the local government, and all the officials sent to the preparations were detained.

This is not just a common thing.

Until the sun was noon, the ceremony of worshiping heaven finally ended with the sound of long live the mountains and fields.

Jia Sidao finally found the opportunity to rest Zhao Yun and came to the emperor's carriage.

Seeing Jia Sidao coming, Zhao Yun turned around and looked at Concubine Jia who was holding Zhao Wei, and then looked at Xie Daoqing, who was also smiling.

"Shi Xian came to say goodbye."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Sidao had already come closer.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty, Empress, and Empress of the Imperial Concubine."

"Shi Xian can't go south after the New Year? Ruoxi is still pregnant. You go south from the waterway. What if there is any accident?"

Concubine Jia handed Zhao Wei in her arms to the palace maid behind her, and took two steps forward to pull Jia Sidao.

Jia Sidao looked at Zhao Yun with a wry smile.

"Okay, you woman, don't join in. Shi Xian is now an important official in the court, so you understand more than you can do." Zhao Yun pulled Concubine Jia back and said.

"Your Majesty, Shi Xian has almost had his life for you. Now the Chinese New Year is coming soon, do you want him to be uneasy? Ruoxi has been pregnant for six months. If he is not suitable for the country, how can you explain to his father?"

On weekdays, Concubine Jia cannot say that he is obedient to Zhao Yun, at least he will never directly contradict Zhao Yun like this. The only reverse scale that Concubine Jia cannot touch is Jia Sidao. Zhao Yun is very clear about this, and Xie Daoqing is also very clear about it. This time, Zhao Yun looked at Jia Sidao with a wry smile.

Well, the government stopped calling me, just change my words and call me the emperor, you can solve it yourself.

"Sister, I think the officials and Shi Xian must have a complete solution. Sister, don't rush to blame the officials and Shi Xian."

Xie Daoqing stretched out his hand and hugged Guifei Jia and comforted her.

"Yes, didn't I arrange for three imperial doctors to follow Shi Xian to go south? Besides, Shi Xian decided to go to Guangdong. I still hope that Shi Xian would stay in Lin'an City to help me?" Zhao Yun felt a little aggrieved.

Jia Sidao wisely chose to shut up at this time. He knew very well that if he spoke again at this time, his cheap sister would probably be reluctant to give up.

In fact, Concubine Jia was waiting for Jia Sidao to explain herself. As long as Jia Sidao opened her mouth, she would have ten thousand ways to keep Jia Sidao. But now Jia Sidao has been silent, so that Concubine Jia, who knows her younger brother very well, understands that Jia Sidao is already determined to go to Guangdong today. Thinking of this, Concubine Jia knew that if Jia Sidao acted violently, she would probably part in a bad mood today. She sighed and said, "Sidao has grown up, sister knows, but you should also pay more attention to safety. Ruoxi has to take her back to Lin'an City to see her sister after giving birth."

"Don't worry, sister, Sidao will tell her the first time."

It will take at least a few months to go back to Lin'an City. Jia Sidao wisely chose to avoid the important things.

"Since Shi Xian has decided, I won't say much about anything else. You can decide everything in Guangdong in one sentence. Fuzhou and Quanzhou are detaining officials of your General Office of the Maritime General Office. I originally planned to send personnel to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation. Since you want to go over and see it in person, then you can solve this matter yourself. You can take action first and report to officials below the third rank in Guangdong and Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and I will arrange it."

Zhao Yun patted Jia Sidao on the shoulder and paused for a moment and continued: "Oh, by the way, Shi Xian, you said before that the General Office of the Maritime General Office needs the power of the salt and iron franchise. I have already said hello to the yamen of the Third Office. I must have sent the documents to the dock at this moment, so don't worry. Well, since the Beiwei Army was found by Shi Xian, you can escort you south. Don't be too busy to refuse. I know that if you want to say that you are going by water, those more than a thousand cavalry can go by land and go south along the coast. I will order the Ministry of Personnel to pass through various prefectures and counties to prepare for the reception, and it just echoes you. I can only do so. The journey to Guangdong is long this time, and everything depends on Shi Xian."

Rarely, Zhao Yun talked a lot, which made Jia Sidao not know what to say for a moment.

The power of the salt and iron franchise was already under his plan, otherwise he would not have agreed to Zhao Yun that the General Office of the Shipbuilding Department would pay 10 million taels of silver to the Ministry of Revenue every year, and it would have increased year by year. The three envoys had been shirking the responsibility for various reasons, but they did not expect that Zhao Yun had already done everything. As for the Beiwei Army, the reason why they appeared today was that in addition to showing the military power of the Song Dynasty, Jia Sidao's main purpose was to leave Zhao Yun with an elite soldier that could be fought at any time, in case of emergencies, but he did not expect that Zhao Yun would turn around and give him the Beiwei Army directly.

Jia Sidao knew very well that no matter how much he said at this time, it seemed meaningless. To Zhao Yun, Xie Daoqing and Concubine Jia bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, Empress, Concubine, take care of the concubine! I am... I will leave now!"
