Chapter 263: Song Duzong visits Mongolia

Qing'er, promise your mother, what if you choose to resign now? We can't see through the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, and we can't figure it out, don't be like your father alone, you have no power to return to heaven at all. ”

"Brother, brother, did you bring us a gift?" Several younger brothers and sisters kept holding Song Qing.

Song Qing looked outside the house and said: "Mother, I know that you are worried that I am not an opponent now, but you also know the situation of the Great Song Dynasty, mother, I don't know how many people are suffering all over the country, if I don't save them, how many people will die innocently?" Mother, why didn't you stop my father when he was the arraignator? Besides, how many people my father has helped in his life, how many people he has saved, I think you know your mother, right?"

Lian's silence is not because she is unwilling to save the people, but because she is worried that Song Qing will be framed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and when the time comes, how will she explain to the ancestors of the Song family?

"Qing'er, you have great ambitions, and your mother is indeed happy for you, but the imperial court is no longer the imperial court it used to be, you don't have the support of Song Ningzong, nor the support of Song Lizong, and now you are an even more incompetent Song Duzong."

"As for this person, my mother has heard that this person is either spending his days drinking or fighting crickets, and I am afraid that you will not be able to support yourself as an official under such a person.

Song Qingdao: "Mother, I admit that what you said is very reasonable, but you don't know the current situation, Aunt Xiaoyue's death, is it just that?"

Lian was silent, she had a deep friendship with Qin Xiaoyue and the others, but..."Mother, you believe me, as long as I take revenge on them, how about I resign and not do anything?"

Lian finally hummed, there was no turning back arrow when she opened the bow, it was useless now, and the only thing she could do now was to hope that Song Qing would be more careful along the way.

Song Qing took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket and put it on the table, and then said, "Mother, you can use this silver to subsidize the family, and do less farm work on weekdays."

Lian was a little angry, there was too much silver, and she was worried.....

Seeing what the other party thought, Song Qing explained: "Mother, these are my money, I am not corrupt, my mother can put ten thousand hearts."

Lian Shi put her mind at ease, she put the silver in her pocket, and then watched Song Qing's departing body.

Outside the house, Tang Yueyue was still waiting here, and when she saw Song Qing coming out, she said, "My lord, you finally came back, why don't you stay for a while?"

"After staying for a long time, I'm afraid that Song will be reluctant to leave, so Yueyue girl, I'd better leave early, after all, there are many, many people waiting for us in the entire Great Song Dynasty.

Everyone gathered outside, and then finally planned to leave, and they went straight to Jiannan Dongchuan.

At this moment, Song Duzong finally went straight to Xiangyang with 100,000 people, and received the invitation of the Mongolian Emperor Kublai Khan, but he did not dare to have any slackness, not only that, but he also carried a large number of materials, including rice and wheat, as well as the special coal mines of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as a lot of other silks.

For this trip, Song Duzong is very, very confident, he believes that he will definitely be able to gain more favor from Kublai Khan, and then the relationship between the two countries will be stronger.

They walked for ten days, and then finally came to the bottom of Xiangyang City, Jia Rudao had received a report from his subordinates, he took Song Duzong to the city to rest for several days, and then went to Mongolia.

Along the way, Jia Rudao asked: "Your Majesty, this time in our Great Song Dynasty is carrying a large amount of supplies, this time this Song Duzong will be even happier."

Song Duzong said: "Jia Aiqing, I have to be forced to make this decision, you see that this Mongolia is so strong, what else can we do but compromise?"

"Hehe, what if you give supplies? It's a big deal, I'm going to keep raising taxes, isn't it? The Song people in the whole country are hundreds of millions, and each person pays ten catties of rent every year, how much is this? 100,000 catties!"

"There are also horses and a series of other things, such as silver, and other items, I said Jia Aiqing, we can feed Mongolia by the people, what else is there to worry about at this moment?

Jia Yidao expressed his understanding, Song Duzong knew about it, and he also knew about it, even if Da Song couldn't afford it, it had nothing to do with him.

Everyone continued to walk, resting in place at noon, a team of 100,000 people was a big problem, and they would eat 10,000 catties of food every day, as well as all kinds of beasts.

They marched slowly, because there were so many people that they couldn't keep themselves busy. On the border, Song Duzong looked at the steppe of Mongolia, and he was a little envious at the moment.

"Jia Aiqing, you said, if the land of Mongolia becomes our Great Song Dynasty..."

Jia seemed to be in a hurry, and hurriedly stopped him, afraid of being heard.

"Your Majesty, you can't continue to say this, in case someone with ulterior motives hears it, and then Kublai Khan says it in front of him, then my Great Song is really finished."

Song Duzong then remembered the deep meaning of these words, and fear appeared on his face.

"And the emperor, not only can't you say it here, but when you get to Kublai Khan's side, you can't say it, otherwise the war between the two countries is really not far away."

Jia Rudao was deeply afraid, he kept cursing Song Duzong for being a fool, and when he said this, he was undoubtedly harming the Great Song Dynasty.

"Jia Aiqing, I've been on the road for several days in a row, I don't know if I've been waiting for more than half of the march along the way, until this moment I don't know how hard it is for you to go back and forth this way."

"This... The minister is not hard for the emperor, after all, Weichen is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is right to relieve the emperor's worries, but on this road, I have only reached more than half of the march, and the emperor, I have to walk for at least five days.

Song Duzong didn't say much, at this moment he had secretly sworn that he would never go out in the future, he was too tired, how could an emperor work so hard?

Soon the food was delivered, and they continued on their way to Mongolia.

After a few days, they finally appeared a few miles away from Kublai Khan's garrison, and everyone stopped to rest.

Jia Rudao called Vice General Miao, and then gave an order.

"Listen, Vice Admiral Miao, this officer will go to Mongolia in the near future, you wait here, if we do not return in three days, you immediately take the soldiers to attack Mongolia.

"It's my lord, it's just that my subordinates suggested that the emperor bring all the soldiers with him, once they see that there are a lot of people like us, I'm afraid they won't dare to mess around at all."

Song Duzong said: "It's not good to bring too many people, in case Kublai Khan thinks that we are going to attack them, I am afraid that I will be dissatisfied, so this time I and Prime Minister Jia will bring a thousand people to follow, and don't want more."

Finally, they rested for a while, and then finally headed for their destination, leaving Vice General Miao with 100,000 people here.

Half an hour later, he finally came to the periphery of the Mongol army, and then under the report of his subordinates, Kublai Khan walked out, and when he saw Song Duzong for the first time, he said in his heart that this person was very ordinary and incompetent.

In the face of such an emperor, Kublai Khan knew that it would be very easy for him to deal with him.

When they came to the barracks, the two emperors gathered, and Song Duzong was too timid, so he knelt down and said: "Song Duzong of the Great Song Dynasty has seen Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia."

Kublai Khan was startled, and hurriedly helped him up and said: "Emperor Song really doesn't have to be like this, you and I are both emperors, how can we kneel when we meet each other?" Besides, you, the people of the Great Song Dynasty, are still on the side. ”

Song Duzong felt all kinds of embarrassment at this time, he didn't know what was wrong with him? Could it be the timidity of the heart? He didn't know.

After a period of greetings, Kublai Khan set his eyes on Jia Nidao again.

"Prime Minister Jia, this time you came with Emperor Song, and it was very, very difficult to come and go for thousands of miles.

"Besides, Prime Minister Jia has come to my Mongolia several times, and I can't hide it, this time I should have brought the team south, so that Emperor Song came in person, which is really ashamed."

Jia Rudao immediately said: "The Great Khan is serious, as a brother country, why should Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty care? You said that the relationship between the two countries is already so close, and it is also appropriate to move around more. ”

Kublai Khan smiled, and then brought everyone into his tent, and arranged for his men to bring food and wine, and they were ready to eat in large gulps.

"Emperor Song, this is the barley wine made by me in Mongolia, it tastes very good, I don't know if the emperor has eaten it, otherwise, I'll try it today?"

Song Duzong really took a sip and was very excited.

"This wine is worthy of being produced in Mongolia, after I tasted it, I only felt as if the lungs were cleansed, and at the same time it also had the effect of refreshing the mind, and after walking for half a month, there was no sense of exhaustion, which was touching.

Kublai Khan said: "Emperor Song has won the prize, and these wines are nothing more than Emperor Song not taking them every day like me, so naturally you think it is delicious."

"However, I also heard that the Jiangnan area of the Great Song Dynasty is also rich in fine wine, and I also want to drink it, but I don't have this opportunity.

Jia Rudao comprehended, and immediately said: "Great Khan, since this is the case, when do you want Jia to replace my Emperor Duzong and invite the Great Khan to go to Jiangnan?" This fine wine, the Great Khan wants to drink as much as he wants.

Kublai Khan's eyes lit up, he knew what he said, but he didn't explain, but said: "Prime Minister Jia, I will give you a drink."

The two of them swallowed all the barley wine in the cup, and then Song Duzong said: "This Mongolia is two thousand miles away from the south of the Yangtze River, which is too far away, or when will Prime Minister Jia send it to the Great Khan!"

Kublai Khan had already heard this, and then put his eyes on Jia Yidao, who seemed to understand.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the exchange of gifts is very important, you see that the Great Khan can open his heart and allow you to come to Mongolia, and now when the Great Khan wants to go to my Jiangnan, how can the emperor stop it?" Kublai Khan was very satisfied with Jia Rudao's words, he knew that this person was very easy to be bought by himself, and he relied on this person to invade the Great Song Dynasty in the future.
