The cavalry marched south along the official road in Shandong. By this time, it was already autumn harvest time, and the crops in the fields on both sides of the road were ripe. Hao Ren has never farmed, and can only distinguish two or three of them. But he could tell that the farmers were very happy with the harvest and full of enthusiasm in their actions.

Of course, Chinohe himself didn't mean to distinguish carefully. After being on the boat for a long time, he realized that even if he hadn't completely forgotten how to ride a horse, he hadn't had enough time to establish a close relationship with the horses he was riding temporarily. In a hurry, the cavalry marched at a speed of more than sixty miles a day.

After half a month of traveling, Hao Ren and others arrived at the current border Rizhao. The sunshine of the crops has been harvested, and those wheat stacks, even if they are just wheat straw stacks, look very bumper harvest.

After exchanges between the two sides, the Mongol cavalry remained in Rizhao, and the Song army escorted Hao Ren to the south. Finally being able to take a boat made Hao Ren a lot happier. Even as a member of the Mongolian family, Hao Ren could not set up a desk on a walking horse and take notes while reading a book. On the ship, it was completely different, and he could make the most of the time before meeting Zhao Jiaren to do his homework.

When I was free from reading, I occasionally looked out of the window and saw that the fields had been cleaned. Entering the Yangtze River along the canal in Huaidong, Hao Ren finally put down his book and walked out of the cabin. Standing at the bow of the boat and looking at the rolling river, Hao Ren felt very emotional. He followed Liu Quanwanhu to lead the navy through the river between Yangzhou and Zhenjiang, thinking that he could take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill into the sea. Facts have proved that the seaside is their limit, and it is also the place where Liu Quan was defeated. Not long after seeing the sea, the Mongol sailors suffered heavy losses.

Crossing the Yangtze River, Hao Ren felt that he should go to Lin'an next. Unexpectedly, there were already officials waiting in Zhenjiang in Song State, who more carefully verified their identities and inquired about Hao Ren's intentions. The flotilla did not enter the canal, but went down the river. When the fleet arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Hao Ren had to suspect that the news of what Zhao Jiaren was doing in Jiaxing Mansion before the withdrawal was true. At this time, Hao Ren was even more surprised, the dignified Prime Minister Song Zuo was not in Lin'an for a long time, which was not appropriate. What does it mean to be stumped?

Entering Songjiang through the waterway, Hao Ren, who was swayed by various ideas, couldn't help but start to miss it again. After his defeat at the seaside, he was forced to flee to land and was pursued by the Song army. If it weren't for his current wife to rescue him, he would probably have hung his head in the city of the Great Song Dynasty with Liu Quanwanhu and other generals.

Even after a few years, he could still feel the desperation at that time. The villagers in charge of chasing down the Mongols boasted loudly about how many Mongols they had killed and how many prisoners they had taken where Hao Ren was hiding. Listening to these words, Hao Ren was not angry. He had to cover his mouth tightly so that he didn't make any noise out of fear and pain.

It took a long time for Hao Ren to break free from the terrifying memories he had awakened. Then he saw that many farmers were working hard. Fear was so deep that it took over Hao Ren's mind, making him blind to things that should have been easily noticed.

Even if he had seen it, Hao Ren didn't have the heart to pay attention to it, he just wanted to hurry up and live there at this time. The mental stimulation brought to him by revisiting the old place was too great, and Hao Ren felt that he needed to take a good rest and sort out his emotions.

However, what Hao Ren didn't expect was that Song officials took him to the construction site. There is a clearing enclosed by cloth, which looks very similar to the disposal during hunting. After entering, Hao Ren saw a guy with short hair and short clothes sitting on the main seat of the two chairs.

"This is Captain Zhao." The official said to Hao Ren.

Even though there was a great mental stimulation, Hao Ren was still stimulated by the official's words for a second time. Looking at the young man, I saw that he had short hair and no beard, and he looked like a tall and handsome monk. Coupled with this short coat, as well as cloth shoes and leggings stained with a lot of mud, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a person who is working hard. When Hao Ren suspected that the officials of the Song State were playing some tricks, he heard the guy known as Zhao Jiaren say, "Let him come over." ”

Hearing such a sentence, Hao Ren's suspicions were somewhat dispelled. That's the tone of the higher-ups, and the tone of the very high-ranking high-ranking people. It's natural, it's calm. Because no one dared to disobey the demands of the superiors, it was so smooth for them to order others.

Under the leadership of the official, Hao Ren walked in front of Zhao Jiaren. Seeing Zhao Jiaren up close, Hao Ren was even more convinced of his judgment. The guy in front of him, known as Zhao Jiaren, was cold, and Hao Ren had only seen it in Boyan Dashuai. That's the feeling of a superior who is used to giving orders, and that is the feeling of a guy who never asks for it.

"I am Zhao Jiaren, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty. Are you an emissary of the Mongols? Zhao Jiaren spoke.

Hearing the man on the other side open his mouth to report to his home, Hao Ren immediately saluted and replied, "I am the Mongolian envoy?" Hao Ren. On the orders of the Great Khan, he came to meet Zhao Taiwei. ”

After looking at Hao Ren, Zhao Jiaren ordered: "Sit." The two sat down, and someone poured tea and brought snacks to the two. Waiting for the number of guest salutes to be counted, Zhao Jiaren asked in Mandarin: "I don't know what Kublai Khan's thoughts are." ”

Hao Ren didn't expect that he would be able to hear northern Chinese in Jiangnan. Even if the tone is strange, the wording is a little different from that of the north, which does make it easier to be obedient. Hao Ren wasn't sure whether he should use this to get close to Zhao Jiaren, and he finally chose not to talk about it. He continued his official duties, "The Great Khan had an order and wanted to make an armistice with the Song state. ”

Zhao Jiaren was called from the scene of the '10,000-person water conservancy battle' at this time. The land reform in Songjiang Prefecture has entered the second half of the land contract stage. During this period, the people should be educated in agriculture and told them what to plant, how to plant, and how to harvest in Songjiang. After talking about this, the people will participate in the '10,000-person water conservancy battle' and rely on the masses to complete the water conservancy project in Songjiang.

The project has to pay the farmers, which ensures that the people have a minimum enthusiasm for work. Naturally, there is a special technical department to do the specific design, and Zhao Taiwei is the supervising official and cadre. Technicians were supposed to inspect the site, and officials and cadres were forced to work with the people with Mr. Zhao. And every day to hold a summary meeting to report and summarize labor efficiency and on-site organization.

Knowing that Mongolia had sent an envoy, Zhao Jiaren felt that something might be good. At this time, hearing that Kublai Khan actually wanted a truce, Zhao Jiaren was overjoyed. However, he did not think that the world was peaceful because of a few words in his heart, "I don't know how the Great Khan wants to stop fighting." ”

It took Hao Ren a lot of time to finish the topic of the armistice. Zhao Jiaren felt that he understood what Kublai Khan meant, but he continued to ask about the details one by one. Hao Ren once thought that being a messenger was to bring a message, but this time the envoy realized that it is not easy to be a messenger. It took him a lot of time to figure out these details, and more time to memorize them. From Huaidong to Sichuan, there was a very long border between Mongolia and the Song Kingdom. Although many places are not important, they also need some arrangements.

After telling this story, Hao Ren felt that his energy was almost exhausted. Zhao Jiaren on the opposite side looked still in good spirits, and his attention was highly concentrated. This made Hao Ren completely believe that the person opposite was the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty. This should be the ability of a big man with a great reputation.

Zhao Jiaren didn't care what Hao Ren thought, he felt that the idea of a Mongolian armistice this time looked more reliable. Moreover, the armistice was not a bad thing for the Great Song Dynasty, and with a basic judgment, he said: "If this is the case, we are willing to make a truce with the Mongols." ”

Hao Ren felt a burst of relief, almost smiling. However, he had made preparations in advance, and immediately began to think about the preparations he should have made. Recalling what had been written on the paper several times, Hao Ren said: "If the Song State decides to cease the war, but I don't know what the Song State is going to do? When to send emissaries to Mongolia? ”

"I'll hear from you in three days." Zhao Jiaren replied very neatly.

Seeing that Zhao Jiaren looked confident about these problems, Hao Ren felt that a big stone in his heart had fallen to the ground. The preparation for the trip finally worked, and he finally did not forget these core issues.

Seeing that Zhao Jiaren looked like he was going to leave after talking, Hao Ren couldn't help but say, "Please ask Mrs. Zhao to stay." ”

"What?" Zhao Jiaren asked.

"I heard that Taiwei Zhao is extremely proficient in Xunzi. So I want to ask Taiwei Zhao, I don't know what is the fundamental difference between Xunzi and science. Hao Ren voiced his doubts out loud. The Great Khan's orders were of course very important, and Hao Ren felt that it was not much less important to find out about the matter than the orders of the Great Khan.

Hearing such a question, the air in the cloth room suddenly fell silent. Hao Ren's entourage didn't understand what Hao Ren Qianhu was talking about at all. The officials of the Song State did not understand what kind of stimulation a Mongol had to be to study Confucianism, let alone understand whether such a Mongol had taken the wrong medicine, and even asked the Zuo Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty for a comparison between Confucian factions. The most important thing is that the officials found that the question was so profound that they couldn't answer it.

Zhao Jiaren was also silent. His silence was different from others, and Mongolia filmed a very capable guy who made it clear that Mongolia was going to cease war with the Song State, which made Zhao Jiaren feel that he could negotiate with Mongolia on this matter. Such a shrewd and capable negotiator actually has a profound Confucian education, which is much more than Zhao Jiaren expected.

Seeing Zhao Jiaren's expression, Hao Ren felt that Zhao Jiaren knew the answer. The kind of embarrassment on the faces of those who know the answer is completely different from the embarrassment on the faces of those who do not know the answer. He hurriedly said, "Captain Zhao, I've been confused about this matter for several months. Chaowen said, death can be carried out. I really want to see the difference. ”

These words touched Zhao Jiaren. Zhao Jiaren didn't want to talk about it before, it was entirely because the topic was too big, even if the Mongolian envoy on the opposite side was highly educated, he lacked too many knowledge points. However, the words of this Mongolian envoy named Hao Ren still moved Zhao Jiaren, and he sighed: "You definitely don't know what idealism is and what materialism is. I'm just going to give you two words today. Xunzi believes that this world exists first, and then there are human beings, and human beings have produced various ideas. Xunzi insisted on the concept that he thought was correct. Richard holds that the idea of infallibility existed before the world existed. This correct philosophy is the one preached by the science of science. In other words, Xunzi is talking about the things that exist. Rigaku is talking about things they come up with. ”

From the beginning of what Xunzi and Lixue were talking about, the Mongol retinue could not understand what Hao Ren was saying. However, Zhao Jiaren's words made some of the Mongolian entourage understand, and some did not. They watched Prime Minister Song Guozuo stride away for a while, and the Mongolian envoy Hao Ren Qianhu still stood in place.

Just when the entourage thought that maybe the Great Song Zuocheng had performed some kind of witchcraft on Hao Ren Qianhu, he saw Hao Ren Qianhu's body trembling, and then let out a voice that was almost moaning, "That's the case...... Is it? ”
