Chapter 13: The Return of the Prince (1)

"Commander Yang, I heard that the little cubs of the Yuan Kingdom are going back to China. Do you want to ......" Yang Tiexin's comrade-in-arms made a gesture of decapitation.

Hearing this, Yang Tiexin was silent. He came back to attend the General Staff meeting of the Great Song Dynasty in 334, but he didn't expect to hear the news when he came back. Judging from various circumstances, he knew that it would probably be impossible for him to reunite with his wife in this life. With such a cognition, it is indeed tempting to kill the son of Hao Ren, the lord of the Yuan Kingdom. To achieve his status, it is not difficult to kill one or two people on a long journey. After a long period of inner struggle, Yang Tie wanted to agree.

Then I heard my old comrade-in-arms urging: "Say a happy word, everyone wants to help you, how did you twist it yourself." ”

Hearing this, Yang Tiexin only felt unhappy for a while. Killing someone also requires accepting other people's favors, and he doesn't like it at all. Thinking of this, Yang Tiexin said: "No need, I'll deal with it myself." ”

The old comrade-in-arms didn't expect Yang Tiexin to answer like this, and after being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but smile: "Okay, then you can go by yourself." ”

Yang Tiexin didn't say anything more, he remembered the Shaolin monks he had disposed of before. In the Great Song Dynasty, murder was a crime. For a group of rebellious monks, the Zhao official family has not yet been wiped out, or let the monks know how the imperial court can make their lives worse than death, if this matter is exposed, maybe the Zhao official family can let Yang Tiexin go, but the people below are afraid that they will not be let go like this. And even if the official family lets Yang Tiexin go, Yang Tiexin's future is afraid that it will be ruined from now on.

There was something in his heart, and Yang Tiexin was a little distracted when he had a meeting. Zhao Jiaren noticed this, didn't say anything at the time, and when he talked to Yang Tiexin about work, he first asked about things, and then asked: "Why do you look at the soul and don't give up?" ”

Yang Tiexin was already a little upset, he really wanted Hao Ren to suffer the pain of losing his son. But thinking of the pain that his wife had to bear, Yang Tiexin couldn't help but soften. It is not Bao Xiweak's fault that she fell into the hands of Hao Ren, and such pain is not something she should bear. If one day, Yang Tiexin led his troops to destroy the Yuan Kingdom, how should he tell Bao Xiweak that he killed Bao Xiweak's child. Hearing Zhao Jiaren's words, Yang Tiexin was even more confused. Momentarily excited, he burst into tears.

Zhao Jiaren asked the secretary to be taken a hot towel by Yang Tiexin, and waited for Yang Tiexin to wipe away his tears, and then asked: "What sad things can make you cry." ”

"Official, I heard that the people sent by the Yuan Kingdom are going back to China?" Yang Tiexin asked.

"Yes." Zhao Jiaren replied. Then he kind of guessed what was going on, and many people knew about the grievances between Yang Tiexin and the lord of the Yuan Kingdom.

"I ...... I want to leave one behind. Yang Tiexin said.

Zhao Jiaren didn't speak, he remembered that he seemed to have heard a news that had a major relationship with Yang Tiexin, but after listening to it at the time, he seemed to be a little embarrassed, but he couldn't remember what it was. He said, "You wait. Then he got up and went outside the house, and said to the secretary who came out: "You ask the Intelligence Bureau, I remember that they said a piece of news, it is the relationship between the foreign students sent by the Yuan Kingdom and Yang Tiexin." But I forgot what it was. Let them find out and tell me. ”

After explaining, Zhao Jiaren returned to the house and continued to ask Yang Tiexin, "I'm guessing blindly, do you want to kill people to vent your anger?" ”

“…… Be. Yang Tiexin admitted. If he can get Zhao Jiaren's approval, Yang Tiexin can easily do it. If he didn't get approval, Yang Tiexin felt that he had just given himself a step. Such a dilemma will be left to the Zhao official family to decide.

Zhao Jiaren did not answer immediately. Between the Great Song Dynasty and the Mongols, Zhao Jiaren would of course not hesitate to choose the interests of the Great Song Dynasty. However, between the Mongols and the Europeans, especially the Sinicized Yuan State that cooperated with the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Jiaren leaned towards the Yuan State. The expedition of laborers to conquer the entire world island is a very beautiful thing to look at, and it is also Zhao Jiaren's biggest fantasy of conquering the world in front of the globe when he was a teenager. But he is no longer a child, and with the current situation of Da Song, this is obviously not a priority.

A four-party cooperation system was reached in the Mediterranean, and the Great Song Dynasty was one of them, and even in a somewhat dominant position. The basis of this dominance is the cooperation with the Yuan Kingdom, which is still a cooperation with a lot of room for development. Maybe thirty to fifty years later, there will be an option to annex the Yuan Kingdom, but this future is something that Zhao Jiaren, Yang Tiexin, and Hao Ren can't see. In addition, if you want to move into the future, you have to put your feet on the present. At the current stage, the Yuan State was an object that the Great Song Dynasty was unwilling to hostile.

With a decision, Zhao Jiaren spoke, "I don't want to agree to kill people like this." I don't think you're a messenger killer either. Of course, I've heard about your family, and I know your mind, and I can understand that. Commander Yang, I thank you for believing in me so much and making such a request to me instead of doing it yourself. So I'm going to tell you, I don't agree with you doing that. ”

Yang Tiexin breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Jiaren made the decision for him, and also let the small voice in his heart be suppressed by a stronger voice. Since Zhao Jiaren and his good and evil positions are the same, and Hao Ren's son did not come to him without knowing how to advance or retreat, Yang Tiexin decided not to do this.

"Official, will we go on an expedition to the Yuan Kingdom?" Yang Tiexin asked.

"Can the current army accept an expedition of tens of thousands of miles?" Zhao Jiaren asked rhetorically.

Yang Tiexin sighed, this time the troops of the Yinshan Theater returned to Henan for repair, and he saw with his own eyes how happy the commanders and fighters of the troops were. Although the north of Yinshan Mountain is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty on the map, these soldiers still feel that it is enemy territory. The crusade against the Mongols takes a year to complete in a few months, and the expedition takes several years, and the troops really do not have such enthusiasm.

Zhao Jiaren also knew that the Great Song army did not have the intention of going on an expedition of thousands of miles, and he continued: "Can you promise me not to kill a child? ”

"Yes."

"That's good. It is also a question of credibility, and those who are not motivated by hostility have put their lives in our hands. We have an obligation to guarantee this agreement, and we have an obligation to protect their safety. ”

Looking at Yang Tiexin's somewhat relieved nod, Zhao Jiaren smiled and said, "I just saw that you are not reluctant, let's talk about work, I have some things that I haven't figured out." ”

When Yang Tiexin was sent away, Zhao Jiaren had already talked to him about work for three hours. Zhao Jiaren leaned back on the sofa and thought about the final surrender work. If the north of Yinshan is used as a war zone, it will have to continue to invest money and food without any income. If it becomes the pastoral base of the Great Song Dynasty, it can obtain a steady stream of materials and wealth. If there are millions of nomadic tribes on the grassland, there is the source of chaos in the Great Song Dynasty. If there are only a few hundred thousand herders left on the grasslands, there is no need to worry about this.

While he was considering who to send, the secretary came in and said, "Official, someone from the Intelligence Bureau is here." ”

"Let him in." Zhao Jiaren said.

Let the people who entered the intelligence bureau, the secretary withdraw first. The person from the Intelligence Bureau immediately took out a small notebook, looked at it, and then said, "Official, we have learned about Commander Yang Tiexin's family affairs. If the information is correct, the birth time given by the Yuan State is not wrong. Judging by the time, we suspect that Hao Kang, the eldest son of Hao Ren, the lord of the Yuan State, is the son of Commander Yang. ”

"Doubtful?" Zhao Jiaren is very concerned about this point.

"It doesn't seem to be the right time. One can only doubt. The Intelligence Service officer replied. Seeing Zhao Jiaren's thoughtful appearance, the personnel of the Intelligence Bureau hurriedly said, "We will investigate." ”

"Don't investigate." Zhao Jiaren stopped this reckless action. Yang Tiexin was already excited, there was no impermeable wall in the world, and such a reckless stimulation would only have the opposite effect. If it wasn't true, it was likely to make Yang Tiexin really murderous. If it is true, is it a drama of father and son recognizing each other? No matter what literary works and storytellers say, from the perspective of a psychologist, a sudden earth-shaking change will only overwhelm people, and then instinctively defend the opposition of the existing mental cognition.

"Don't investigate, this matter is kept secret. If it is a leak, it will be treated as a special leak. ”

"Yes."

Waiting for the intelligence bureau to leave, Zhao Jiaren fell into a new contemplation. This secret is very lethal, and if it is thrown at the right time, it will definitely have a very good effect. For example, twenty or thirty years later, Hao Kang became the lord of the Yuan Kingdom, and then this news became popular in the Yuan Kingdom. At that time, the army that conquered the Yuan State was likely to need such an impact.

Yang Tiexin returned to his residence and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. He no longer has the intention to kill, but he can't let go of it. Unable to fall asleep tossing and turning, Yang Tiexin suddenly wanted to see Bao Xiweak's son, and asked him to bring a letter to Bao Xiweak. Yang Tiexin didn't decide what effect this letter would have, but Yang Tiexin wanted to do something for himself. If he doesn't do anything, he really can't stand it.

The next day, Yang Tiexin crumpled the paper and threw it aside. There were many balls of paper on the paper basket and on the floor, some with some words written at all, some at all. What exactly is going to say, Yang Tiexin really doesn't know. was depressed, the door was pushed open, and the old comrade-in-arms had already walked in, looking at the paper ball in the room, he was stunned, and then asked, "Old Yang, what are you doing here?" The little cubs' boat arrived, and they were about to leave. ”

Yang Tiexin raised his head and said with resentment: "I have already told the official family about wanting to kill someone." ”

"Huh?" The old comrade-in-arms froze.

"The officials won't let me kill anyone." Yang Tiexin continued.

"You...... What are you doing here? ”

"It's nothing, I don't want to kill people now." After speaking, Yang Tiexin stood up, walked to the coat rack, put on his military uniform, put on his military hat, and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going?" The old comrade-in-arms asked.

"I'm going to meet the kid."

"The officials have said that they are not allowed to kill people, if you go and beat him, you will be seen." The old comrade-in-arms said complainingly.

"I'm not going to hit him. I want him to help me with a word. Habitually tidying up the military hat and buttoning up the wind and discipline, Yang Tiexin strode out.
