Chapter 706 Shang Shan Ruo Shui (for the alliance leader Jin Goro
It was early May in the second year of Xianding in the Song Dynasty.
The scourge of war has been far away for more than half a year, and peace has returned to Guanzhong.
In the Chang'an government office, a chessboard is placed under a ginkgo tree.
"Lian Zhonglang, Lian Zhonglang, from the Prime Minister to the Zhonglang of a court, are you happy with it?"
"Wu Gong has a short-sighted vision. Today he is a lieutenant in the palace, but tomorrow he will still be the prime minister of a country, and not only the prime minister of a province. How can I lose?"
"To this day, you don't even cover up anymore?"
"Then what should Duke Wu do? Why don't you ask the Duke to restore his name, put him in the position of Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty again, and ask the Emperor of Song to issue an edict to quell the rebellion?"
Wu Qian didn't answer and pressed a chess piece.
Lian Xixian looked at the chessboard and couldn't help but think about the method of breaking the chess piece. He murmured: "My chess skills are so superb that I am ashamed of myself. It's a pity that my chess skills are so high that I can't save the Zhao family."
Wu Qian did not answer, but picked up the feather fan that Lian Xixian had put aside and fanned himself.
Lian Xixian added: "At least the Prince of Pingling County is still a prince of the Song Dynasty. In name, Duke Wu is not betraying the Song Dynasty by serving for him. As for the future... Duke Wu can't control it at this age. It is left to us young people."
That’s why there is no need to worry in vain?”
After hearing this, Wu Qian actually smiled, his eyes even more helpless.
"If you can't solve chess, Shanfu should admit defeat. Today is a game of chess, so talking about taking advantage is useless."
"The best thing is like water, just follow the trend." Lian Xixian sighed.
The two began to end the game, and Wu Qian was really helpless.
Li Xia's momentum was too fast. He recovered Longxi and Guanzhong in one year, and was granted the title of county prince in the next. It was difficult to contain him.
"In the Shanxi and Heluo areas, Ahema is now in charge. The latest news is that Ahema has dismissed Shang Ting and Zhao Bi."
"I don't understand this pervert, please tell me, Shanfu."
"I don't want to talk more about him." A look of disgust flashed in Lian Xixian's eyes, and he said: "Compared with him, Jia Sidao, whom Mr. Wu has been scolding every day, can be called a sincere gentleman."
"How can I do that?"
"More unruly than me."
Wu Qian held the chess piece and thought about it, and he could roughly picture Ahema in his mind.
His literary talent was slightly weaker than that of Jia Sidao, but his actions were more unscrupulous.
"It's this kind of people I'm most afraid of."
"Don't be afraid of him, Duke Wu." Lian Xixian said: "It seems that there was Jia Sidao, who allowed the Duke to return to the prince. Now there is Ahema, who has forced Zhang Wulang of Bozhou to flee to the prince. Ha, the best is like water.
, the best is like water."
"For Kublai Khan, the situation in the Central Plains should be stable and stable, and it is not appropriate to use Ahema's love to exclude dissidents. This is similar to the power of Jia Sidao, who is eager for quick success and instant benefits."
"At least Jia Sidao has a public interest. Ahema, it's all selfish."
"..."
The two of them each cursed their hated political opponents, as if to confirm that their political opponents were the most hateful.
It is only at times like this that the two great celebrities in the North and the South seem to have lost their grace.
But talking like this makes me happy.
Finally, Wu Qian angrily pressed another chess piece and said: "Regardless of region and ethnic group, there are treacherous people everywhere."
Lian Xixian squinted his eyes and realized that he was about to lose again.
"The prince of the county has asked Liu Heima to be appointed as the pacifier of Chengdu Fulu, and sent Zhang Jue to Guanzhong. I will go to Longxi soon."
Wu Qian paused while shaking his feather fan and said, "No one can play chess with me from now on."
"I hope that Duke Wu will manage Guanzhong well and make the treasury rich. In the future, the king of the county can defeat Ahema and take over Heluo. This is what we both hope for. I am still busy with official duties, so I will leave."
Lian Xixian glanced at the chessboard again, patted his knees, stood up and left the yard.
Wu Qian smiled and leaned back on the chair.
He found that he had been worrying about state affairs a lot recently. He was old and frail, and he missed his children, grandchildren and old friends even more...
"I'll get drunk and stay with you. I'll sing a song to see you off. I've traveled all over the country, where do you want to go?"
"Come back, come back, come back, I will go on a sailing expedition and will not come back late."
Li Zengbo walked out of the cabin, looked at the bustling Lin'an Pier in front of him, and sighed.
He was sixty and three years old.
He commanded the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, promoted and pacified Sichuan, controlled the Jinghu Lake, pacified Guangxi, and moved along the Yangtze River. He spent his whole life fighting on three sides.
Huaidong, Huaixi and Sichuan, Guangxi Jinghu and along the river.
But Li Zengbo was not as accomplished in battle as Lu Wende. He was better at management, vigilance, and defense.
If the imperial court could dig out his past excerpts and take a look, they would find that the Mongolian army attacked Sichuan, Dali, Ziqi State, Guangdong and Guangxi... He had insight into almost every mediator plan of the Mongolian army and reminded the imperial court to prepare in advance.
Yu Jie had received his support many times, Pu Zhezhi was recommended by him, and Liu Zheng had made meritorious service under him...
Mou Zicai said, "Shu is at the beginning and Wu is at the end. They are several hundred and twenty thousand miles away. Today there are only Jia Sidao in the Huaihe River and Li Zengbo in Jingshu." This is by no means an exaggeration.
Li Zengbo had no influence in the court, and he had been dismissed for the third time since he became an official.
Because he was not a Jinshi.
The so-called hero who "withstood the onslaught of Jingshu and Jingshu with his whole body and stood as tall as the Great Wall" was someone who "was born with the same Jinshi background" as the central government wanted to avoid.
After getting off the boat, a subordinate came to pick him up.
"But Mr. Zhai is in person. Mr. Pingzhang is free today, so I would like to 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 policies are quite effective.
He originally planned to use his family's 10,000 acres of farmland, but feeling the pressure, he simply turned all 20,000 acres of his family's farmland into government land.
All opponents in the DPRK were silenced.
Even Rao Huchen was deeply moved and wanted to support him even with a few acres of land. Jia Sidao originally thought that the old minister finally turned to support him and wanted to help him regain his prime ministership.
Unexpectedly, after a long conversation, the two still had different political views and had many disagreements on the specific reform plan.
"Look at Zongzhao, we have redeemed more than three million acres of public land so far, with great results, but it is far from the amount. Now we have only redeemed households with official positions. However, many officials have sent their fields to Qinjuan's family. I can't wait."
Dare to take over the fields of unofficial families..."
"What does Jia Pingzhang mean? The land is collected regardless of the officials or the people? No! Once this is done, the people's fields will be forcibly purchased by subordinate officials. This is absolutely unacceptable!"
"..."
Talking about the later, Rao Huchen refused to give in, which finally angered Jia Sidao again.
"Jia Sidao! You acted too hastily, which will bring disaster to the country and the people!"
"The national situation is critical, please open your eyes and see clearly!"
"..."
"Rao Huchen! Get out of here, get out! Wait, if you walk out of this door today, I will deprive you of your second rank and take away your ancestral position. You will have no official title when you return home, and you will have no posthumous title after your death!"
"snort!"
Rao Huchen didn't even look back.
Just get out, we're not from the same group, and Jia Sidao doesn't need such help.
He is old, fatuous, and has no courage. He is used to looking at others with cold eyes and lacks the ability to make plans.
The public land was recovered, and the land was stopped. The state treasury could be collected from the public land, and there was no need to exploit the common people. The long-standing disadvantages of the Song Dynasty were being visibly changed...
"Mr. Ping Zhang, Uncle Li Zeng has arrived."
"I don't want to deal with these devious people."
Jia Sidao took a long breath, rubbed his face, and called Li Zengbo to see him again.
The conflict between Li Zengbo and Jia Sidao has a long history, which can be traced back to 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 Chongqing Prefecture, 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 management in Jianghan, support from Bayu thousands of miles away... Great planning means preparation for everything, and far-sightedness means great success. In ancient times, officials in the country were inferior to others, but who is the right one among the ministers today?!"
At that time, Jia Sidao, as the candidate personally recommended by the Mongolian Communist Party to succeed Jinghu Defense Force, could also bear this evaluation.
Li Zengbo also wrote a poem about this, saying, "The white feather waved the new jade tent, and the red curtain half rolled up the old red building. This trip has put the world in order, and the official came to correct the blackheads."
But in the second year after the defense change, the two had political differences.
At that time, Xiangfan was in ruins. Li Zengbo believed that "Xiangyang is the ridge of the world, an important place in ancient and modern times, and the north and the south must fight for it." Xiangyang's defense must be restored.
Jia Sidao objected on the grounds that "the solitary fortress is so far away that it has nothing to do with the barrier."
Li Zengbo refused to listen, so Jia Sidao intervened to obstruct him. Three years later, he finally transferred Li Zengbo to another place, intervened in Jinghu affairs himself, and appointed his direct descendant Lu Wende as the commander-in-chief of Jinghu.
From then on, the resentment between the two deepened and gradually reached the point of irreconcilability.
Li Zengbo saw early on that Jia Sidao was simply arrogant, could not tolerate any disobedience, and was greedy for power.
When I came over today, I met Rao Huchen and left angrily. Li Zengbo chatted with him for a while, and finally just said: "Jia Sidao will betray his relatives sooner or later."
"Ke Zhai Gong's eyes are as bright as a torch..."
Jia Sidao was sitting on the imperial chair, watching Li Zengbo come in, but 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. It is said that "when the official comes, he will be dressed in a black head".
"Brother Changru, we've come to meet you from afar."
"Stop being pretentious!"
Li Zengbo was not polite, and the city government did not want him in front of Jia Sidao. He pointed directly at Jia Sidao and shouted: "It is rumored that Liu Zongshen, the governor of Xunzhou, poisoned Brother Lu Zhai, but you are the one in charge?!"
Jia Sidao held the tea cup and said calmly: "Wu Qian's half body was buried in the ground. Why should I poison him?"
"If I find out about this..."
"Now I summon you to the court in the name of Pingzhang's important military and national affairs. I want to discuss state affairs. If you are still a minister of the Song Dynasty, stop making excuses in front of me. I don't know what to say!"
"snort!"
Li Zengbo shook his sleeves heavily, feeling displeased.
Jia Sidao was most annoyed that these people would always adopt such a posture, showing contempt in their eyes, so he ordered someone to bring a stack of documents and place them on Li Zengbo's bed.
"Now I ask the officials to resurrect Brother Changru because of Li Ni's affairs..."
"If you have the ability to frame me again and again, there is no need to attack me again."
"Brother Changru is at least more talented than the corrupt people in Sanjing."
Li Zengbo was too annoyed with Jia Sidao's character of always ridiculing and humiliating others.
He shook his head, feeling that Jia Sidao was hopeless.
"Jia Sidao, I would like to advise you again: Anyone who looks down upon the people of the world will be abandoned by the people of the world."
"I would also like to advise you, don't be so stubborn, otherwise you would have paid homage to the Prime Minister long ago." Jia Sidao sneered again and said with a sigh: "If I were willing to listen to the advice, I would be like a scholar-bureaucrat."
"Oh, if you are willing to listen to my advice, why did Li Ni end up like this when Mo Yuan transferred me away from Sichuan and Shu to Jinghu?"
The word "Li Ni" hit his ears, and Jia Sidao felt more at ease.
This time, he rarely surrendered 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 that okay?"
Li Zengbo shook his head and sighed again.
Jia Sidao had to say again: "Xiangyang's control of the north and south is like the echo of the head and tail of a long snake. It has become the chess eye of today's world. You have a long-term vision and have an insight into the situation. You are right... Are you satisfied?"
"If you sincerely repent, you should transfer me to Jinghu instead of Longxi." Li Zengbo said, "It's just because I am not your direct descendant."
Jia Sidao closed his eyes and said patiently, "Brother Changru refuses to save the Song Dynasty?"
This time, it was Li Zengbo who was speechless for a long time.
The two people, who had had deep grudges for a long time, had to work together again.
There is only one reason...Li Ni.
After seeing off Li Zengbo, Jia Sidao's mood became even worse.
Throughout my life, my self-esteem has been frustrated many times, all because of Li Xia!
"What's happening with Li Ni recently?" He called Liao Yingzhong and asked, "Why haven't you reported anything about Li Ni to me for a long time?"
"Didn't Ping Zhanggong say that if it's not a big deal, don't talk about Li Ni..."
"explain."
"There hasn't been much movement. Some smugglers have been going to Xiangfan frequently... By the way, there is a small matter in Lin'an. The demon concubine is seriously ill."
"That old fool Quan Manniang hasn't died of shame yet, but the demon concubine is seriously ill?"
"Ping Zhanggong, be careful what you say!"
"Oh, Li Ni dared to kill the king, what's wrong with me scolding him?"
A trace of thought flashed in Jia Sidao's eyes, and he murmured: "At this time, the demon concubine is seriously ill?"
"Ping Zhanggong, according to what students have seen, Li Ni and Yao Fei look like..."
"Well, it can't be fake. One look at my adulterous eyes..."
In the middle of his speech, Jia Sidao suddenly thought of Li Huiniang. He felt depressed for no reason and could not utter those sarcastic words.
"Do you think we need to fake death and go to Hanzhong?" Liao Yingzhong asked again, "Would you like to stop me?"
"What are you trying to do to stop her? The disaster that has brought disaster to the country and the people will be better off in Hanzhong. Go to the residence of the eldest princess of Rui State to send a greeting card and invite the eldest princess to play Cuju."
"yes……"
Jia Sidao waved his hand, picked up a ball, and only stood on tiptoe twice in the courtyard. Suddenly he felt that it was not interesting, so he supported the stone table and sat down on the ground.
Rao Huchen, Li Zengbo, Yan Fei... a group of former political enemies have left again, and Lin'an seems to have a sense of ending.
"It's strange. The water of the Yangtze River obviously flows from west to east. Why do I always feel that the water of the Yangtze River is flowing backwards to the west recently?"
