Chapter 264: Faint One

Song Duzong was still worried, and this matter could not be underestimated, but under Jia Yidao's persuasion and assurance, he reluctantly nodded.

He picked up his glass and said: "Great Khan, if you want to go down to Jiangnan on the other day, you must notify me in time, and I can also give you the wind and dust, not to mention that my Great Song army came today, and the Great Khan has been so hospitable, which really makes me very excited."

Song Duzong is not too stupid, he also used a little bit of his brain in this matter, and said in his heart that he came to your Mongolia but was invited to say hello, you Mongolia came to my Great Song Dynasty, you can't be mysterious, come secretly

Kublai Khan smiled and said: "The Song Emperor has a lot of opportunities, the Great Song Dynasty has a vast territory, and at the same time it is a very large country, there are things to be busy on weekdays, how can I interfere with the Song Emperor"

"Otherwise, when I go down to Jiangnan, I will be led by Prime Minister Jia of your country and lead me to Jiangnan to live for a few days, I don't know if Emperor Song has any opinions."

Song Duzong didn't think much about it, and under the leadership of Jia Rudao, there would definitely be no major incidents, so he could rest assured at this moment.

Hearing this, Jia Rudao got up, toasted a glass of wine, and then said: "The Great Khan doesn't know, my Great Song Jiangnan is a place where talented people gather, and there are many literati and artists, and these people are very powerful when they are exported."

At the same time, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, the rivers and mountains are picturesque, as beautiful as a fairyland on earth, it is the best place to live, not only that, but we also have Suzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, etc., it is said that there is heaven above, and there is a reputation of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Kublai Khan also heard about it, and he was very excited to hear it at the moment, as a person who grew up in Mongolia, he had long longed for the picturesque rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty.

He was overjoyed and said, "In that case, then Prime Minister Jia will introduce me again, and I want to see where to play."

Song Duzong laughed on the side, but he didn't know that Kublai Khan already had an idea about the Great Song Dynasty, but he still didn't know it.

Jia seemed to be confident at the moment, "Great Khan, I don't know that the weather in the south of my Great Song River is very good, and it doesn't snow all year round, compared with the north, the gap is very big, right?"

"The weather in the south is pleasant, and the climate in the north is harsh and dry, if the Great Khan wants to go to the Great Song Dynasty, Jia hopes to go to live for a long time, after all, it is troublesome enough to come and go."

Kublai Khan laughed, he seemed to know that Jia Rudao was hinting at himself, and he was very, very excited, but this Song Duzong didn't know anything.

The three of them drank freely in their tents, from the north to the south, and from time immemorial, until nightfall when one of his men brought food again, they began to eat.

After eating, a bonfire was lit outside, there were Mongol troops wrestling outside, they liked to do this kind of sport all year round, and over time they were on the battlefield. I also have a great experience.

Under the leadership of Kublai Khan, the three of them sat around the bonfire and watched these Mongolian soldiers wrestling, Kublai Khan was overjoyed and said: "Emperor Song, you don't have this custom in the Great Song Dynasty, look at my Mongolia, although it is sparsely populated, but wheel wrestling, your Great Song Dynasty is not our opponent."

"But the paper, I Mongolia is not your opponent of the Great Song Dynasty, it is said that since the Tang Dynasty, there have been many poets led by Li Bai Dufu on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, and the poetry has been pushed to a point that has never been before."

Song Duzong said with a smile: "The Great Khan doesn't know, since the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin has emphasized literature and light on martial arts, and at that time it was already the legendary Tang Dynasty, but it's a pity that you and I can't see it."

"At the same time, I also feel that what Li Shimin has done is right, re-writing, a country is governed by literati, if they are all martial artists, wouldn't the country be chaotic."

"Literati can command a large-scale battle, but martial artists cannot, they can only wield swords and sticks, and it is not good to govern the country at all, so I have always advocated valuing literature over martial arts.

Jia Rudao hurriedly stepped forward, "What the emperor said is very true, and Weichen also means this, a country can only go to glory under the leadership of literati, and I have never heard of martial arts to carry forward the country." ”

"Therefore, Weichen suggested that the emperor disarm three million, and then recruit a large number of various literati and students, who either wrote poems to praise the emperor, or sang the praises of the mountains and rivers of the Great Song Dynasty, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Kublai Khan laughed and said nothing, he had never had such a thought, disarming three million could already put a country to death.

When Song Duzong heard these words, he was not happy, so pay attention, this also greatly reduced expenses, and at the same time, he could also write poems to praise himself. He slapped his thigh and was excited.

"Jia Aiqing, Jia Caicai, what you said is so right, the Great Song Dynasty needs this way, the Great Song Dynasty also needs talents like you, I still have about 8 million soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, if you subtract half, there are still 4 million people.

"These four million people don't save tens of thousands of taels of silver a year to take these silver, I am looking for a great poet like Li Bai Du Fu as an official, hehe, my Great Song Dynasty wants to compete with the Tang Dynasty, it's not impossible."

"The emperor is wise." Jia Rudao lowered his head.

Kublai Khan also said: "My Mongolians are all rough people, even if I disarm them all, then I can't find a poet, this is the gap."

The bonfire party was still going on, but Song Duzong was more and more happy the more he watched it, and his impression of Mongolia was getting better and better.

"Great Khan, the Mongol army can destroy more than 40 countries, it is obviously impossible without a little strength, compared to my Great Song Dynasty, it is really a nest."

"At the same time, the Mongolian soldiers are all as strong as oxen, if they are singles, it is estimated that I can beat one person with two Great Song generals.

Kublai Khan laughed when he heard this, "The Song Emperor is serious, although the Mongol army is strong, it is actually a relatively weak country, if it is replaced by the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the victory and defeat will have to be half divided."

"I also knew a little about the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty back then, and the reason why the Southern Song Dynasty is where it is today is not without reason, but I also know a little about the shortcomings of the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

Song Duzong said: "I would like to hear it in detail."

Kublai Khan drank the barley wine in the bowl in one gulp, he looked at the group of soldiers opposite and said: "There is one thing in the Great Song Dynasty that I can't compare with Mongolia, that is, the unity of the people, it is said that your people are very patriotic, and then this point, I Mongolia is ashamed of myself."

"At the same time, I also heard that the Great Song Dynasty has a criminal officer named Song Ci, this person is a master of the crime, and he has solved countless cases in his life."

Song Duzong said: "It's a pity that this person has passed away due to illness during the Song Lizong period, and my Great Song Dynasty has indeed lost a general, which is heartbreaking."

As soon as Song Ci was mentioned, Jia Rudao's face changed, this person could have made himself miserable back then, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have suffered for ten years.

Kublai Khan's voice rose sharply, as if he felt unworthy of Song Ci.

"Emperor Duzong, I heard that this Song Ci was very unhappy in his later years, not only was he demoted a few levels, but he was also unable to enter the imperial city, hehe, is this how you treat meritorious heroes in the Great Song Dynasty?"

Song Duzong was very embarrassed when he said this, this was all done by Song Lizong, and he had nothing to do with him, even if he wanted to stop it back then, he would not succeed.

Jia Rudao got up at this moment and said: "The Great Khan is actually serious, although this Song Ci has made meritorious contributions in solving the case, but people, it is inevitable that he will make mistakes, especially men, he can have today, in fact, he is also to blame."

"I don't know how this person made a mistake If I make a mistake, in my opinion, it's nothing more than a man's things, you Song Duzong know that you spend all day drinking, if you don't have someone else, you can't do it."

Song Duzong's face turned red, and Kublai Khan continued: "I have long heard that Emperor Song has no other hobbies, and he likes to stay in the harem and fight with the concubines in his life, which can be described as a dragon and a phoenix."

"But this can also be understood, the emperor of a country, if he doesn't have three wives and four concubines, then what kind of emperor is there and what fun is it to be a man, don't you say?"

Song Duzong and Jia seemed to be silent, this was the case, and they couldn't find a reason to refute it.

The bonfire party finally ended, and under Kublai Khan's arrangement, Song Duzong and Jia Yidao were arranged to live in a tent.

It was late at night, and the two fell asleep.

It was not until noon the next day that he got up from his bed, went out and washed his face in an iron basin made of gold, and then went outside.

In the distance, Kublai Khan was directing his army out hunting, and after the departure of this group of men and horses, they were soon gathered together.

"Emperor Song, Prime Minister Jia, I don't know that last night, the two of you rested well, and I only have this condition in Mongolia, I hope it doesn't affect the rest of the two."

Jia Rudao stepped forward and arched his hand, "The Great Khan is really serious, do you follow the customs of the country, no matter whether Mongolia is poor or rich, we naturally have to obey the arrangement of the Great Khan." "At the same time, the Great Khan has already gotten up from the bed early in the morning, which is really admirable, he could have slept until he woke up naturally, but no...

Although the Mongolian army is on par with the two, the Mongolian soldiers are all hot-tempered and quite difficult to manage, which is embarrassing.

The three of them walked to the tent again, ready to talk.

On Song Qing's side, they kept going to Jiannan Dongchuan with a large group of people, and they met several anti-thief teams along the way, but they had already been taken down, and they didn't collect all the gains.

At noon, everyone walked in a barren wood, and some guards had already begun to prepare lunch, there were too many people, so that food was a problem at the moment.

Fortunately, they were not in a hurry, so they simply walked all the way to play.

Tang Yueyue picked a few fruits from a distance and handed them to Song Qing.

"My lord, you see that there are no people here, why are there still several fruit trees, why are the people around here also moved away?"

Song Qing didn't know, he took the fruit and ate it in a big gulp, it was very delicious and sweet.

"Miss Yueyue, do you know where we are at the moment, how far away from Jiannan Dongchuan"

Tang Yueyue said: "My lord, it's so early, more than a thousand miles, we have only walked less than one-tenth, and there is less time to rush along the way, and more time to solve the case."
