In the Privy Council, Jia Rudao walked back and forth in the room, looking very ugly, and Li Tingzhi, who was sitting on the side, had a relaxed face and did not show any urgency. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Mongolian mission and the Mongolian envoy Hao Jing have always been Jia Yidao's heart disease.

In the battle of Ezhou that year, the army of the Great Song Dynasty was difficult to resist the attack of the Mongol Tatars, and Jia Nidao, who was responsible for the overall command of the operation, was anxious, and had no choice but to think of the idea of peace, and it happened that Abuligo rebelled, intending to seize the throne of the Mongolian Great Khan, Kublai Khan must go back to inherit the throne of the Great Khan, and there was no way to push the boat down the river and agree to withdraw the troops, but in the face of the envoys sent by Jia Rudao, a series of conditions were also proposed, including tribute and property.

Because the evacuation was in a hurry, the two sides did not have time to sign the agreement, but only had a verbal agreement.

Later, in the process of suppressing the Abuligo rebellion, Kublai Khan tried his best, and felt that he was overstretched from time to time, and the money and food were obviously insufficient, so he sent Hao Jing as an envoy to lead the Mongolian delegation to the Great Song Dynasty to demand the fulfillment of the original agreement.

After Jia Rudao returned to the capital, he bragged in front of the emperor that he had completely defeated the Mongol Tatars, won many great victories, the Mongol Tatars were defeated and retreated, and the Great Song Dynasty was stable, etc., which won the emperor's high trust and support, and also used this to squeeze out the then Zuo Prime Minister and privy envoy Wu Qian, and grasped the power of the court.

When he learned that the Mongol Khan Kublai Khan had sent an envoy to the capital, Jia Rudao immediately took measures to detain the Mongol envoy Hao Jing and kill the rest of the envoy so that he could not come to the capital, so that his fabrication would not be exposed.

Jia Nidao did not dare to kill the Mongol envoy, he was afraid of the strength of the Mongol Tatars, and faintly felt that Kublai Khan would definitely ask about it.

Later, the Mongolian envoy Hao Jing was used by Wu Shaogang, the envoy of Sichuan, which also made Jia Yidao unhappy at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said that after so many years, perhaps the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan had forgotten about this matter.

Who knew that Kublai Khan had not forgotten and sent to the capital again to inquire about the matter.

This must have made Jia Yidao uncomfortable, and it also added a lot of worries.

If the matter of Jia Rudao's detention of the Mongolian envoy spread, the impact would definitely be very bad, and many things in the battle of Ezhou that year may also be exposed.

Jia Nidao, who is in power, will never allow such a thing to happen.

There are not many people who know about the Mongolian envoy Hao Jing, Li Tingzhi, Lu Wende, Wu Shaogang, and the palace secretary all command Sima Huaxuan and others, but these people are not ordinary, Jia Yidao is impossible to do anything to these people, and it is impossible to completely block the news.

Now the most important thing Jia Yidao needs to do is not to let the emperor know about this matter.

The emperor's body is getting worse day by day, I'm afraid it won't last long, Jia Rudao must not block the emperor at this time, let alone allow his power to be weakened.

Hiding from the emperor is not a big problem, the key is how to reply to the Mongol Great Khan Kublai Khan.

"Li Shangshu, how do you say to deal with this matter of the Mongolian envoy Hao Jing."

Although Jia Rudao was in a hurry, he had not messed up yet, and the reason why he had a certain degree of self-confidence was the wisdom of Wu Shaogang, the envoy of Sichuan, and the courage of the imperial army of Hezhou, after all, the imperial army of Hezhou defeated the Mongolian Tartars, and captured the Mongolian Wanhu Chang Wuliang Hetai.

Li Tingzhi looked at Jia Yidao and spoke unhurriedly.

"My lord, the lower officials think that it is enough to hand over the affairs of the Mongolian mission to Wu Shaogang to deal with."

"This, what does Li Shangshu mean, please make it clear."

"Hao Jing has been used by Wu Shaogang, but this news has not been spread, since the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan sent someone to inquire about Hao Jing's whereabouts, you might as well let Wu Shaogang directly announce the news, just say that Hao Jing has been loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and even said that Hao Jing was loyal to the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning, so what else does Kublai Khan have to say."

Jia Rudao nodded again and again and patted his forehead lightly.

"Alas, I don't know the true face of Lushan, just because I am in this mountain, it is better for Li Shangshu to remind me, it is best to deal with it like this, but why did Kublai Khan suddenly ask about the Mongolian mission at this moment, it has been six years."

The question asked by Jia Yidao is also a question that Li Tingzhi thinks about.

The Great Song court did not know that Abuligo had surrendered, nor did it know any news from the Mongol court, so it was unable to make an accurate judgment on Kublai Khan's actions.

Jia Rudao and Li Tingzhi both have faint worries, that is, whether Kublai Khan will take advantage of this matter to launch an attack on the Great Song Dynasty, in the eyes of the two of them, the Mongol Tatars are brave after all, and if they attack the south on a large scale, the Great Song Dynasty will be difficult to resist.

Neither of them will take the initiative to voice this concern, preferring to comfort themselves for the time being.

Seeing that Li Tingzhi didn't open his mouth to answer, Jia Rudao couldn't force him to speak.

"Li Shangshu, this matter of the Mongolian mission, please help me do it for you, the envoy sent by Kublai Khan has just arrived in Jiankang Mansion, I think I will let him go directly to Chengdu Mansion, it is best to let him see Hao Jing, so that Kublai Khan has nothing to say."

Li Tingzhi expected Jia Yidao to say this.

"My lord, there is no problem with the lower officials to do this matter, but Kublai Khan's envoy is still in Jiankang Mansion City, and it is difficult for the lower officials to interfere in the affairs of these two Huai, so please make arrangements."

"Well, I'll tell Envoy Lu Zhizhi everything."

When he walked out of the Privy Council, Li Tingzhi didn't have much expression on his face.

In the end, Jia Rudao was still not at ease, and asked Li Tingzhi to personally go to Jiankang Mansion to deal with the matter, and if possible, supervise Kublai Khan's envoys to Chengdu Mansion in Sichuan.

In the process of Jia Rudao's arrangement, Li Tingzhi also thought about recommending the two Huai systems to make Lu Wende deal with this matter, but considering all aspects, Li Tingzhi did not open his mouth in the end.

In fact, the relationship between Li Tingzhi and Jia Nidao has long been worse than it was back then, and many contradictions are faintly erupting, which is nothing more than Li Tingzhi's strength is not enough to compete with Jia Nidao, so many times it is patience.

Let's just say that this time Li Tingzhi was appointed as the secretary of the ministry and Lu Wende was appointed as the envoy of the two Huai systems, which was a decision made directly by Jia Yidao, from the bottom of his heart, Li Tingzhi was unwilling, the situation in the capital was very complicated, Jia Yidao monopolized the power, and Lu Wende was afraid that because he could not grasp too much power, he wanted to leave the capital and go to the local area.

Since becoming the secretary of the ministry, Li Tingzhi has also made a lot of efforts, especially considering Wu Shaogang's situation, thinking that he can create a better environment for Wu Shaogang, but all these practices have encountered direct interference from Jia Yidao, forcing Li Tingzhi to give up more power and only pay attention to the affairs of Sichuan.

That is to say, after Wu Shaogang became the envoy of Sichuan, Li Tingzhi, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was able to govern only one place in Sichuan, and the appointment and dismissal of other local officials were directly controlled by Jia Rudao.

In comparison, Li Tingzhi's power is not as good as Lu Wende at the beginning.

Li Tingzhi can endure all this temporarily, in his opinion, as long as Wu Shaogang can become strong quickly, everything may change.

However, the matter of the Mongolian envoy Hao Jing suddenly made Li Tingzhi realize that things may not be as simple as imagined, and the suggestions he put forward were afraid that they would be unfavorable to Wu Shaogang.

In the dark, Li Tingzhi felt that the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan should have made full preparations for sending an envoy to inquire about Hao Jing, and the hidden purpose behind it was likely to be to send troops on a large scale.

The imperial armies of Hezhou are indeed powerful, and now Wu Shaogang also controls the imperial armies of Xingyuanfu and the imperial armies of Jinzhou stationed in Sichuan, but compared with the strength of the Mongol Tatars, there is still a big gap, once Kublai Khan attacks Sichuan with all his might, then the situation of Wu Shaogang and the imperial armies of Hezhou will be very dangerous.

Jia Rudao seems to have such an idea, that is, he wants the Mongolian Tatars to attack Sichuan on a large scale and start a fierce battle with the imperial army in Hezhou.

Li Tingzhi did not go directly to the ministry, but returned home.

After more than an hour in the study, Li Tingzhi finally made a decision.

The letter was quickly sent out and went to Chengdu Fucheng, Li Tingzhi also planned to leave the capital and go to Jiankang Fucheng, but he would not follow him to Chengdu Fucheng, he believed that Wu Shaogang would be able to handle all the matters, and after Jiankang Fucheng had done everything, Li Tingzhi would quickly return to the capital, since Jia Yidao might have such a plan, then he would also try his best to prevent this situation from happening.

It's late at night, study.

Li Yousun stood beside him, and Li Tingzhi spoke unhurriedly.

"Mingcai, on behalf of me, you have been to Chengdu Fucheng, know the relevant situation there, I don't want to say more, you are not young, you need to understand a lot of things, the capital is not a place where you can stand, I am afraid that it will not be long, you still follow your two brothers, go to Chengdu Fucheng...

Looking at Li Yousun's reluctant expression, Li Tingzhi sighed inwardly.

In comparison, Li Run and Li Yousun are much more independent, Li Tingzhi actually wanted to let the three brothers go to Chengdu Mansion together, but Li Yousun may not be able to bear it, and all three sons went to Chengdu Mansion City, and they were afraid of causing criticism from the court and even arousing the emperor's suspicion.

Now it seems that I am afraid that this decision was somewhat wrong.

"Tomorrow I will go to Jiankang Mansion City, during this time, you study hard at home, don't go out, and don't play outside in groups... (To be continued.) )
