There was silence in the study.

Hong Wenhao, Yu Jie, and Jiang Hai simply lowered their heads, carefully not daring to show a little strange look.

Everyone knows why Jia Rudao can be where he is today.

Jia Rudao was less than a year old, but he was already a scholar of the Guanwen Palace in a high position from the second rank, and even a few governors and political affairs, most of them were the bachelors of the Guanwen Palace, and even for him, Zhao Yun broke the convention to forcibly merge Guangnan West Road and Guangnan East Road into the land of Guangdong Road Road, making Jia Rudao the youngest feudal official since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition, the Yamen of the General Department of the City Shipping Department has intervened in water transportation, shipping and trade, and even the right to monopolize salt and iron has been obtained, and it has the tendency to keep pace with the three envoys.

Although Jia Rudao is only in charge of the affairs of the Yamen of the General Department of the City and does not give a clear grade, but take a look, the deacon of the Yamen District of the City Department is from the sixth grade, several sub-divisions know from the fifth grade, and the same knowledge of the general government has reached the point of from the fourth grade, which is already comparable to the rank of the prefect of a state, and it is still a lack of real power.

Although Jia Rudao has made a lot of contributions, at least it is an indisputable fact that Zhao Yun has pulled so much hatred value on himself. Zhao Yun needed someone to divert the attention of the Korean and Chinese clans, science and even the old school, but Jia Rudao appeared just right.

The younger brother of the emperor's favorite concubine, the former gentleman, the family power is almost zero, and now he is quite talented and learned, etc., which is enough for Zhao Yun to trust and rest assured.

Jia Rudao's worth reached the highest point when Jia Guifei gave birth to the crown prince for Zhao Yun, and it also dropped to the lowest point.

It's a very contradictory thing, but it's also a very realistic thing.

On the one hand, if Jia Yidao can survive, Zhao Yun may be happy to let his son have a helper when he succeeds to the throne in the future, but this helper must not sit big, like Shi Miyuan; On the other hand, if Jia Nidao can't survive in the face of many attacks from all sides, Zhao Yun can only helplessly treat Jia Nidao as an abandoned pawn.

This kind of thing is not without precedent, at the court meeting, Zhao Yun has already done it once.

Ding Daquan didn't say this explicit in his words, but Jia Rudao was very clear.

The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook.

The crown prince has been established, the queen is still there, and a noble concubine who has no strength behind her does not seem to be irreplaceable for the general trend of the world.

Now the cunning rabbit is not dead, but in case the lackey's hand has been stretched too long, so that Zhao Yun has even a little bit of distrust in his heart, then maybe no one needs to be fearful, Zhao Yun's little sacred heart can make Jia Yidao die without a place to be buried.

Jia Rudao inexplicably thought of his advice to Zheng Mingxuan, Shan Deyan and others before leaving.

Now that the war in Sichuan has broken out, Zhao Yun must have begun to worry about the matter of silver, so Xie Jubo should have told Zhao Yun, and even told Zhao Yun that he asked Xie Jubo to retreat and force the ministers of the court to find a way to raise money together.

What would Zhao Yun think?

Not only has a good relationship with Meng Hui, who commands hundreds of thousands of troops, but also Shi Songzhi, Xie Jubo, Zhao Fan and even Zheng Qingzhi and others in the DPRK and China are also good personal friends. Then, he even intervened in the affairs of the household department, and several giant businessmen in Lin'an City were even willing to give millions of taels of silver to the imperial court because of his words.

Although it is not free, there is an exchange with the household, but others, especially Zhao Yun, may only see the passage and not care about these details.

Similarly, Jia Yidao also knew very well that at the last court meeting, Zhao Yuncun had the intention of giving up on him, although he was very reluctant. Fortunately, with the help of Xie Jubo, Shi Songzhi, Zhao Fan and others, and Meng Heng sent Zhang Rou's head, he narrowly escaped the catastrophe.

But Jia Nidao is also very clear that whether it is Xie Jubo or Shi Songzhi, the premise of helping him is because of Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun does not want Jia Nidao to die.

Therefore, these people are willing to offend several governors of the clan and the Lixue faction such as King Heixiu and help him speak.

In other words, once there is no support from Zhao Yun, even if Zhao Yun shows a little dissatisfaction with Jia Yidao, when the same thing happens, Xie Jubo and Zhao Fan will definitely not risk the world's disapproval to help him speak. Even Shi Songzhi, who wants to marry his daughter to him, will remain silent.

There is no need to guess this, Jia Yidao can definitely happen like this.

In the final analysis, whether it is him or Jia Guifei now, everything comes from Zhao Yun. At least for now.

It's like the duckweed without roots.

Ding Daquan's words also hide another layer of meaning.

As long as Jia Rudao can lay a foundation in Guangdong, at that time, whoever wants to move him, even if Zhao Yun wants to move him, as long as he doesn't return to Lin'an, there is no way to take him.

I have to say that no matter what point it is, what Ding Daquan said is indeed a heart-wrenching word.

It's no wonder that none of Hong Wenhao and others dared to speak.

"Hehe, why are you so nervous? Okay, I don't think I've heard this today, let's go get busy. ”

Jia Rudao got up with a smile and patted Ding Daquan on the shoulder.

Ding Daquan was able to climb to the position of prime minister in just over ten years, and now Jia seems to understand. Just this political sense of avoiding harm and seeking profit is enough for him to be like a fish in water in officialdom.

Fortunately, now that Ding Daquan is under his hands, even if he wants to bring disaster to the country and the people, there are few opportunities.

"The lower officials will retire."

are all smart people, some words don't need to be pointed out, Jia Rudao didn't say anything more about continuing to play for Lin'an, obviously already agreeing with what Ding Daquan said. Jia Rudao can be smooth sailing, and they can naturally rise to the top, so they are also slightly relieved in their hearts.

Soon Ding Daquan and the others were gone, and Jia Yidao was left alone in the study.

Looking at the huge map of the Southern Song Dynasty, Jia Rudao smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

What Ding Daquan said, in fact, he has always been on guard, otherwise he would not have come to Guangdong specifically. If you don't jump out of the whirlpool early when Zhao Yun needs to rely on him, I'm afraid that you can only drown in Lin'an City in the end.

It's just that Jia Rudao didn't expect his crisis to come so quickly.

If it is true, people have no long-term worries, and they must have near-term worries.

Even an outsider like Ding Daquan, who doesn't know some things, can detect some bad signs, so not to mention what Zhao Yun, who is facing the impact of millions of taels of silver, will think.

Jia Rudao didn't expect that he originally just wanted to help Zhao Yun stabilize the situation and give him enough time to accumulate some strength to stabilize the crumbling Southern Song Dynasty, but in the end, it became his own grave.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun will be suspicious, but he will not really do anything, at least not in the short term, and with Zhao Yun's character, I am afraid that even if he wants to do anything to him, he will borrow the hands of others.

There is still time.

Thinking of this, Jia Rudao's eyes froze, and he leaned over to pick up the pen.

Some things seem to have to be decided.
