Chapter 305: Empress Dowager Xie's Worries
He picked up his wine glass and said, "Prime Minister Jia, come on, come on, I'll wait for a few drinks, as for this state affair, I won't talk about it."
"Besides, Prime Minister Jia, you are only the prime minister, not the emperor, how can this be decided, isn't it?"
They drank happily, and then several dancers walked in from outside, accompanied by the sound of musical instruments, and then began to dance in the house.
They should be in good shape and dignified. is a beauty, but compared with Qiu's, it is much inferior.
Kublai Khan said with a smile: "Prime Minister Jia is worthy of being Prime Minister Jia, but he will enjoy it, and I have never enjoyed such treatment when I was in Mongolia."
"However, I think it's also a lot of fun, you said that you have to work too much on state affairs on weekdays, and now you can't let go of a little pressure, right?"
Jia Rudao said: "What the Great Khan said is very reasonable, this is an official, first of all, you have to enjoy yourself, if you don't do it for yourself, then what kind of official is you?"
"If you are not good to yourself, how can you be good to the people? Great Khan, I, Jia, am an official first for myself, and I can't be good to myself, so how can I be good to the people, don't you say?"
"Also, although Jia is said to be the prime minister, but, if he doesn't have the conditions to enjoy it, how can the people below enjoy it? Because that's fair, isn't it?"
Kublai Khan had already known that Jia Yidao was a person, and he had no opinion at all at the moment, what he wanted was such an official.
At the same time, this also opened up a way for him to attack the Great Song Dynasty, and it will be more convenient and unimpeded to walk in the future.
"Come on, come on, Prime Minister Jia, today I and the two monarchs and ministers don't talk about national affairs, only about life, only about ideals and ambitions, as for the rest, then to hell."
They drank until half the night, and when it was late in the night, they began to rest. At dawn, Song Qing's team had already left Mafeng County and kept walking towards Jiannan Dongchuan, all the way they were speeding up their pace, wanting to arrive at their destination earlier. Walking to a no-man's land, they stopped, hungry and ready to get some food to eat.
Tang Yueyue said: "My lord, since I have been with you for the past few months, the folk girl has gained some knowledge. I also know a lot about it, my lord, you say that officialdom can't be completely honest?"
Song Qingdao: "As long as there are officials, there will be greed, and as long as there are interests, there will be strife, whether Song Duzong or any other sect is the emperor, things are the same."
"But Miss Yueyue, I think you have a good point, that is, officialdom really can't be honest forever, because the temptation of silver is too great, no matter who is an official, you have to be greedy, even if you change the dynasty."
"Therefore, officialdom can only continue to govern, and if you want to completely eliminate corrupt officials, it seems that you can only dissolve the imperial court."
Saying that Song Qing sighed, the absence of a corrupt official means that he will be unemployed, and the absence of a corrupt official means that he will not be able to be a criminal officer, but he doesn't care.
Soon, the hot meal was served, and they sat down and began to take a big gulp, and the taste was only enough.
Vice General Chao sat next to Song Qing, "My lord, our next place is Longzhou, do you remember Taiping County?"
"Longzhou?"
"Yes, such as Taiping County, such as Mafeng County, are under the jurisdiction of Longzhou, my lord, there may be big people waiting for you here, because ah, you have arrested all his subordinates, do you think the Zhizhou here can be so good?"
Song Qing really doesn't care, it's okay, isn't it just a Zhizhou? I don't care, as long as he violates the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, he will not let them go either.
"Okay, the deputy general of the dynasty, Song wants to know, how far is it from this Longzhou? I can't get there today.
“..... My lord, that is, about fifty miles, it is estimated that it will be able to arrive at noon tomorrow. ”
Song Qingen sighed, I have to sleep in the open tonight, don't get in the way, this post of criminal officer itself is running around the country.
After hastily eating their food, they continued on their way, going forward until nightfall, when they finally continued to sleep in the open.
At the same time, on the side of Xiangyang, Jia Rudao and Kublai Khan's team also left from the city early this morning, carrying a large number of supplies, including millions of catties of grain and a lot of various meats.
They walked all day, and when night came, they stopped and rested, slaughtered cattle and sheep, and prepared a barbecue.
In the harem of Lin'an Palace, Song Duzong continued to play with his concubines, and the trouble was very cheerful.
After a while of playing in the water, they finally walked out of the house, and it happened that at this moment, Empress Dowager Xie came from afar.
When she saw Song Duzong, she opened her mouth and scolded, "Emperor, you really make the mourning family worry-free, you can really do it, this Great Song Dynasty, this country will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later."
Song Duzong knelt down to say goodbye, and then opened his mouth, "Queen Mother, I want to know why you said that?" Child.... What's wrong with a child coming to the harem? Why do you say that?" Why? Why do you say? I said Emperor, you are really powerful, really good, do you know what the situation of the Great Song Dynasty is now?"
"I heard that you still disarm four million? I ask you, is there such a thing?" Empress Dowager Xie's eyes were bulging, and her anger was very great, she was simply more and more disappointed and desperate for Song Duzong day by day.
Oh my God, why did you find this person to be emperor in the first place? Isn't this a clear push of Da Song into the fire? What can happen if this goes on for a long time?
Song Duzong said: "After returning to my mother, there is no way for the child to disarm, you look at the current military camp, eight million people, what do we want so many people to do?" How much food will be wasted in this year?"
“... A big mouth slapped heavily on Song Duzong's face, Empress Dowager Xie was really angry, this Song Duzong was really confused, how could he be like this? Isn't this treating the common people as fools?
Empress Dowager Xie's heart was cold at this moment, she had never been so discouraged, confused, this country, this nation would be destroyed in his hands sooner or later.
"Emperor, the mourning family is asking you now, have you handled the matter for me? Let me ask you, have these soldiers really been disarmed?"
Song Duzong sighed, and then said: "After returning to my mother, the matter has indeed been handled by me, and the adults on this side of the military department originally refused to obey the order, but the child made a holy decree, and he immediately did it."
Empress Dowager Xie couldn't accept this blow, and then fell headlong to the ground, it's over, this country is over, sooner or later it will be destroyed by this Song Duzong, and no one can stop it.
"The Queen Mother."
Helping the Empress Dowager Xie up, Song Duzong was a little panicked, "Queen Mother, what happened to you, Queen Mother?" Queen Mother, you are the mother of the country, you must not have anything to do. ”
The palace maids on the side hurriedly ran to pass the imperial doctor, they didn't want the Empress Dowager Xie to have anything to do. Empress Dowager Xie was a little better, and then stood up from the ground, her eyes blazing, and her eyes were full of anger.
"Emperor, you are really confused, do you know that you will harm the country and the people of the Great Song Dynasty by doing this? I ask you, why do you want to disarm?"
"You must know that the soldiers, the martial arts are the foundation to defend the whole country, the literati are just governing the country, the martial arts defend the country, there are no martial arts, do you let the literati go to war?"
"Emperor, you really disappointed the mourning family, think about Song Lizong, although this person is incompetent, but he is also better than you, my emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, is it really not as good as the generation?
Song Duzong couldn't figure it out, what did he do wrong? What is wrong with these soldiers asking for so much, disarming half of them themselves, and saving half of the silver and grain a year? Moreover, disarmament is not about killing them, but about leaving them to fend for themselves.
"The queen mother, the child still can't understand, now that Song and Mongolia have become friends, and at the same time, with the help of Jia Yidao, the relationship between the two countries is getting better and better, why is it wrong for herself?"
Empress Dowager Xie really doesn't want to say anything, she just hopes that she is an ordinary person now, she doesn't want to live in the palace, she just hopes that she can live some honest life.
She sighed deeply, her face was full of helplessness and grief, Da Song was over, and she felt that there was no other hope.
"Emperor, since you don't move, how about the mourning family teach you hand in hand today? You remember, the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia will never be peaceful. ”
"He, Kublai Khan, is still reluctant to go to war with the Great Song Dynasty, just to see that we pay countless tributes every year, if there are no such materials, do you think he will be like this?"
"Also, as far as the mourning family knows, he has a total of more than 15 million Mongolian soldiers, which is more than three times that of our waiting, and I said the emperor, if they all go south, there will be almost no grass in the places they pass.
Song Duzong said: "But the queen mother, I still think that the Mongolian Kublai Khan will not attack us, because the child has a relationship with him, and the child does not believe that he will lead the army south."
"Smack"
Another slap slapped on Song Duzong's face, and Empress Dowager Xie shouted in her heart, what kind of son did she give birth to? Is his head an elm head? Why is he so confused?
At this moment, Empress Dowager Xie wanted to cry angrily, she knew that all this was over, and it might be too late now.
"Emperor, you said that you are disarmed, and the mourning family asks you, why do you still hold scientific expeditions all over the country to recruit talents? And you're going to be hundreds of thousands?"
The corners of Empress Dowager Xie's mouth were bleeding, which was all out of anger.
"Emperor, these literati and students can't protect the country, they are powerless, do you expect them to protect the country, do you think it's possible? Also, you said that you just wanted a few, but you actually wanted 300,000 literati, I want to know, what are you going to do?"
