When the tension was at stake, Jia Sidao smiled and waved his hand.
"Agui, don't get excited. Li Xia has an extraordinary character and won't act recklessly."
"Yes." Gui Hepu put down the crossbow.
Jia Sidao looked at Li Xia and saw that he was still calm.
It seems that it was Gui Hepu and others who felt guilty first.
Jia Sidao's eyes were sincere and he said: "I really never thought that you could come back alive. According to the original plan, if you die in the north, I can have a handle against Uncle Xie Fang.
But, not only did you come back alive, but you also got the information. I admire you very much, and this is even better. Just imagine, if the information is presented to the emperor, and you personally tell the story of Tian Kui's betrayal in the enemy's territory, how much more jealous will it be?
,How angry should the officials be towards Uncle Xie Fang?"
"I can go ahead and say it." Li Xia said, "But knowing the cause and effect of the matter is only my first request."
"what else do you want?"
"Nie Zhongyou, Lin Zi, Liu Jinsuo."
Jia Sidao chuckled lightly and said, "You should ask for a reward."
Li Xia said: "Of course I do, I want to join Sichuan and lead an army alone."
"I think you are a smart man." Jia Sidao sneered, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Li Xia said: "This request is not excessive."
Jia Sidao sneered slightly and said, "Do you know why Uncle Xie Fang wants to kill you?"
"As you said, I am your weapon against him."
"Yes, but you are just a small handle. I said this is just a casual move." Jia Sidao pondered and said slowly: "Uncle Xie Fang forced Yu Jie to kill, and the consequences were far more than Tian Kui's rebellion. For example,
Uncle Xie Fang appointed Yu Hui as the commander-in-chief of Shu. Don't look at Yu Jie. Both Yu Hui and Yu Hui have the surname "Yu". They are very different in terms of running the army and fighting wars.
In the second year after Yu Hui took office in Sichuan, he executed Yu Jie's old tribe, General Wang Weizhong, for "sneaking through Mongolia". Wang Weizhong was taken to Lin'an and executed. His orphan was still raised by me. In other words, Uncle Xie Fang was trying to cover up the consequences of forcing Yu Jie to be killed.
, even Wang Weizhong could be killed unjustly. How much less Nie Zhongyou, let alone your little death row?"
Li Xia said: "Are you threatening me?"
"Ha, do I need to threaten you? I'm just telling you the consequences of not following what I say." Jia Sidao said calmly: "I'm also telling you that I can't save Nie Zhongyu."
Li Xia said: "Confirm Nie Zhongyou's charges and implicate Cheng Yuanfeng at the same time?"
"good."
"You once teamed up to deal with Uncle Xie Fang."
"So what? Cheng Yuanfeng never expected that you would come back with information. He wanted to monopolize the credit, but saw that Ding Daquan was fighting with Uncle Xie Fang, so he abandoned me and turned to Uncle Xie Fang to cooperate against Ding Daquan. The power of the court is as unpredictable as water.
."
When Jia Sidao said this, he sighed: "Now, even Cheng Yuanfeng can't protect Nie Zhongyu, so why do you bother to save him? Do you really trust him?"
Li Xia said: "The information I have is enough, so I can save him."
"Nie Zhongyou sneaked into Mongolia, and the evidence of his crime is in the hands of Uncle Xie Fang. Do you know what this means?"
"Cheng Yuanfeng was forced to cooperate with Uncle Xie Fang and kill me?"
"Yes, both the left and right ministers want to kill you, but I can protect you." Jia Sidao said with a smile: "Isn't this the reason why you came to see me tonight?"
Li Xia said: "I won't say much more, my conditions are very simple, save people and get an official position."
Jia Sidao was unhappy.
He swept the candle smoke in front of his eyes with his sleeves, leaned back on the Taishi's chair, closed his eyes and said nothing.
The hall fell silent.
Seeing this, Gui Hepu took a step forward and said, "Li Xia, don't be ignorant of good and evil. My Alang has already given you enough face."
Li Xia said: "If you don't agree, there is no need to talk anymore."
Gui Hepu turned around and glanced, seeing Jia Sidao still closing his eyes and saying nothing.
He pointed at Li Xia and said, "Who do you think you are?!"
Li Xia was too lazy to talk to the boy. He stood up and looked around calmly. He saw two other guards already in the observation hall.
Guihepu is still scolding.
"Alang wants a cricket who can fight. You have been arrogant since you entered the door. Do you really think you are a person? If you don't obey, I will just throw you away to feed the chickens. How much does Alang want to use you? Ichijie
Even a prisoner on death row dares to stage a show in the prime minister's hall..."
Amid the scolding, Jia Sidao opened his eyes and saw Li Xia's back straight, revealing a pride that could not be concealed.
"pride."
Jia Sidao chewed on these two words and felt disappointed in Li Xia.
He originally thought that Li Xia would be a great person when he returned from the north.
It's a pity that he is too arrogant and is destined to fail to achieve great things in the court.
However, Jia Sidao also noticed that Li Xia's pride was accompanied by incomparable calmness.
He needs to train this cricket so that it can fight for him.
"Li Xia, aren't you angry?"
As soon as Jia Sidao opened his mouth, Gui Hepu immediately stopped talking and took a step back.
Li Xia said: "Why should I be angry?"
"You waited to go north and narrowly escaped death, but in the end you found that you were just an abandoned son, allowed to be manipulated and betrayed by the temple princes. You came back with the information this time, otherwise? What would you have done if you had shed your blood and blood, and become nothing more than a corpse?
A carrion that no one cares about. To me, this is just a trivial matter. I can just pluck you and send you to work for your life. Like plucking a cricket, your legs will be bitten off, you will be bitten to death, or you will be pecked by a chicken. I can’t even look at it.
One look at you, a nobody. So what if you come back after going through hardships? Look at you, you are regarded as a traitor who sneaked into Mongolia, and you are wanted all over the city... Aren't you angry?"
Li Xia looked into Jia Sidao's eyes.
At this moment, he seemed to see Jiang Xing's throat being cut with a knife, Nie Ping being penetrated by a crossbow arrow, Nie Zhongyou killing Lao Jiu and five seriously injured people with his own hands, Liu Chun falling on the boat in Longhu, and Yang Xiong
, Baicang Mountain, Erzi...
Twenty-nine people lost their lives, left with enthusiasm, and buried their bones in a foreign land.
But in Jia Sidao's eyes, it was just a casual move, a trivial matter.
As the two looked at each other, Jia Sidao's eyes seemed to be excited. He liked to train Cricket.
However, Li Xia just asked a question.
"so what?"
At this moment, Jia Sidao hesitated slightly.
He thought that Li Xia should be so angry that he pointed at him and shouted accusations with a red face.
He had already planned to have someone knock the angry Li Xia to the ground and step on his head to make him see clearly what the situation was and what power was.
When Li Xia's mind collapsed, he would pick him up, pat his tear-filled face, and teach him how to do things.
But Li Xia's calm rhetorical question disrupted Jia Sidao's expectations.
"So? Agree to my conditions, or don't we negotiate?"
Jia Sidao said "ha", came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Although your information is useful, I may not want it."
"Yeah?"
"What I want is to be the Prime Minister and to overthrow Uncle Xie Fang and Cheng Yuanfeng. Your obedience is the key, followed by intelligence."
"You will have greater merit if you get the information."
"That also depends on your attitude."
"Then let's not talk about it."
"Do you think you can get out?"
"Try it."
Li Xia stared at Jia Sidao, reached into his arms, and held the dagger...
