Chapter 290: The Fourth Master's Hesitation
After the fourth master came back from the mansion of the right prime minister and privy envoy Jia Nidao, his face turned pale, his body trembled, and he locked himself in the house, not allowing anyone to disturb him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The relationship between the fourth master and Jia Nidao is no longer ordinary, even if he has been appreciated and trusted by Jia Nidao, it is also in this process that the fourth master has some ideas, thinking of relying on Wu Shaogang at the same time, he also climbs the big tree of Jia Nidao, but his careful thinking was quickly seen through by Wu Shaogang, and it was clearly pointed out, which made the fourth master shocked into a cold sweat, and the fourth master, who had experienced too many turmoil, made the final decision after carefully comparing Wu Shaogang and Jia Nidao.
After all, in the Great Song Dynasty, Jia Nidao is above 10,000 people under one person, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are looking forward to settling with Jia Nidao and getting a good official position, and the guild in the capital will definitely not dare to offend Jia Nidao publicly, otherwise don't think about gaining a foothold in the capital.
The big boss of the guild who has never opened his mouth has actually sent a message to the fourth master recently, asking the fourth master to pay attention to it and not to get too involved in the government and politics, the fourth master understands that this naturally means that the fourth master and Jia Yidao are too close.
The fourth master has never seen the big boss of the guild, but he knows that the big boss is full of promises.
It's a pity that at this time, the fourth master is already involuntarily, this season is not early summer, the gambling of fighting crickets in the capital has started again, Jia Nidao, who is addicted to it, asked the fourth master to find a powerful cricket, so that he can win when fighting crickets, the fourth master tried every means to find a few powerful crickets, and helped Jia Yidao to win a lot of victories, Jia Yidao was happy, and let the fourth master go to his mansion several times to play and entertain.
The word plaything is not too much, in fact, after Jia Nidao grasped power, he also did a lot of things, such as the implementation of the plan law and the public land law, etc., so that the unsustainable imperial court continued to persevere, from this aspect, Jia Nidao also wanted to do some big things, but unfortunately there were too many people around Jia Nidao, perhaps it was indulged in it for a long time, and he experienced the happiness of controlling power, floating above the clouds, Jia Rudao is not so concerned about the affairs of the government, thinks that the world is peaceful, and more energy is devoted to entertainment.
As the only prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, it is definitely inappropriate to do so.
Even the fourth master, an outsider, felt that it was not a taste.
Comparing Wu Shaogang and Jia Nidao many times in his heart, the fourth master finally felt that I was afraid that Wu Shao was the real pillar of the Great Song Dynasty just now, thinking about the time when Wu Shao first came to the capital, he was extremely busy, and he had no time to play and entertain at all, and the fourth master had been in contact with Wu Shao for so long, and he had almost never seen Wu Shaogang enter the tile.
It can be said that today's Wu Shaogang has become the first fierce general of the Great Song Dynasty, enough to lead the Hezhou Imperial Army to resist the Mongolian Tartars, if the imperial court gives Wu Shaogang greater power and can lead more armies, maybe he will be able to completely defeat the Mongolian Tartars, the fourth master who has experienced the wind and rain, will not easily believe the rumors from the outside world, but has been promoted to the youngest son of the Hezhou Imperial Army, Zhao Qinan, who is ready to be the general, wrote a letter, There is not a single word of falsehood, and all of them clearly explain the achievements of the imperial army in Hezhou.
The fourth master walked around the room for a while, and finally let his emotions slowly calm down.
A crisis that has not appeared for a long time permeated his mind, making the fourth master not know how to deal with it.
The fourth master's mind returned to an hour ago, and it was an unforgettable scene for him.
In the process of watching the song and dance performance, Jia Nidao, who had a smile on his face, suddenly spoke to him, and when it came to Wu Shaogang's performance, Jia Nidao's mood was a little bad, as if he was complaining that Wu Shaogang's hands were too long, arranging cronies in various parts of Sichuan, and even intervening in the imperial armies of Xingyuan Mansion and Jinzhou Imperial Army, is there still the emperor and the imperial court in his eyes.
Jia Rudao went on to say that Li Tingzhi, the secretary of the ministry, also had a problem with his attitude, and he blindly agreed to Wu Shaogang's twists and turns, and he didn't know how to avoid suspicion, which made the Privy Council very difficult to deal with.
The contact with Jia Nidao has not been short, and the fourth master has also spent a lot of money, but he has never said anything about political affairs, and it is even more involved in the affairs of the court, I don't know why, Jia Nidao suddenly said such a sensitive topic today, which not only involves Wu Shaogang, the envoy of Sichuan, but also involves Li Tingzhi, the secretary of the ministry.
The relationship between the fourth master and Wu Shaogang is quite close, Jia Yidao must know about this matter, but why did he talk about Wu Shaogang and Li Tingzhi in front of him, which made the fourth master very frightened.
And such an important thing, actually said it during the song and dance performance, is it too unserious, as the first person in the Great Song Dynasty, Jia Yidao, it is impossible not to understand this.
I remember that when Jia Yidao said these things, the fourth master was silent all the time, and he didn't dare to express his position at all, neither daring to express complete approval nor the slightest objection.
A lot of ideas came out of the fourth master's mind, is this Jia Nidao specifically testing to see what kind of attitude his fourth master has, or Jia Nidao wants to warn Wu Shaogang and Li Tingzhi and others through his fourth master.
Or maybe it's a trap thrown by Jia Yidao, waiting for his fourth master to be fooled.
Until the end of the song and dance performance, when the fourth master got up to say goodbye, his mind was still a mess, but fortunately, he tried to maintain his composure and did not let Jia Yidao see anything abnormal.
Before leaving, Jia Yidao didn't mention it, as if he had forgotten what he said before.
After returning home, the fourth master fell into hard thinking, he was thinking about how to deal with this matter, whether he should immediately send a secret letter to Sichuan to inform Jia Yidao's attitude, or send someone to Li Tingzhi's mansion to remind him slightly.
Time passed minute by minute, and the weather-beaten fourth master didn't know how to choose.
It's dark.
"Fourth master, someone from outside is coming to visit."
The housekeeper's voice outside the house made the fourth master's body tremble slightly.
Trying to sort out his emotions, the fourth master stood up and came to the courtyard.
The housekeeper followed behind him and reminded in a low voice that the person who came was a subordinate from Jia Youxiang's mansion.
This made the fourth master's face pale again, he knew that the words Jia Rudao said in the evening were not unintentional, but intentional, and now it was time for him to express his position.
"Butler, go and greet the guests, I'll be there soon."
The housekeeper stepped forward, and the fourth master stopped again.
Looking at the moon in the sky, the fourth master's expression became solemn, and at this moment he thought of the reminder of the big boss and thought of many things he had experienced in the past.
In a quarter of an hour, the fourth master entered the house.
The person who came was indeed a subordinate from Jia Nidao's mansion.
The fourth master opened his mouth while clenching his fists.
"I've been waiting for a long time, there were some small things in the back just now, and I delayed the time, so please forgive me."
"Where, the fourth master is a busy man, when my master watched the fourth master leave, he was very worried, and specially asked the little one to come and see, there will be a cricket fight in the house tomorrow, the fourth master should not forget."
The butler had already brought the tray.
The fourth master didn't answer directly, he personally picked up the tray and put it next to the person who came.
"This is a little heart, please don't shirk it."
The silk cloth on the tray was lifted, and ten ingots of silver were revealed.
A smile immediately appeared on the visitor's face, and the tone of his voice changed.
"The fourth master is really too polite, the little one is not as respectful as obeying his fate, and the little one should congratulate the fourth master, my master really values the fourth master, and it is very rare to send someone to the mansion like this. . . ."
The fourth master had a smile on his face, and his heart was not relaxed at all, although the person who came was specifically talking about the cricket gambling game tomorrow, and the gambling money was also taken out with the help of the fourth master, but in fact, it was alluding to today's affairs, which the fourth master understood.
After some small talk, the visitor left with a smile on his face.
The fourth master spoke to the housekeeper.
"I have some business to attend to tonight, don't let anyone disturb you, here's a letter, you send it to the old place at once, remember, don't let anyone see it on the road, leave through the back door, don't sleep until the time comes, someone will come."
The housekeeper has been following the fourth master for decades, and he is a person brought from his hometown, and he is definitely trustworthy.
At this moment, the fourth master had actually made up his mind completely.
The guild has experienced a lot of things, the fourth master has also experienced a lot of things, sometimes major decisions can change the fate of a person's life, since the big boss has spoken, and the fourth master himself has also made a judgment, then you should gamble, if you always want to be safe, then you will do nothing in your life, not to mention the guild controlled by the fourth master, so that it is impossible for him to completely settle down.
It was very late at night, and there was a slight knock on the back door of the mansion, and the fourth master, who had been waiting in the backyard, went to open the door in person.
A man in black entered.
The fourth master took out a letter from his arms.
"In the next few days, there may be other news, and I will ask the housekeeper to send it over at that time."
The man in black nodded, took the letter, put it in his arms, and then turned to leave through the back door, never saying a word.
Seeing the man in black leaving, the fourth master breathed a sigh of relief, and his face became much soothed.
Once the choice is made, the fourth master is also ready to be prepared, in fact, the last time Wu Shaogang came to the capital, the fourth master has already sent more than ten capable people in the guild out and followed Wu Shaogang to Sichuan.
This time he made a choice, what the outcome would be, the fourth master didn't know, and he couldn't guarantee it, but he believed that Wu Shaogang would definitely know all this and make corresponding arrangements. (To be continued.) )
