"See the Prime Minister!"

Under everyone's gaze, Jia Rudao slowly walked to the Qinzheng Palace.

Zhao Xuan saw Jia Rudao coming here, and hurriedly said: "Father, you also heard about Luzhou." I still don't know how my father plans to solve the crisis in Luzhou?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen is here today precisely for this purpose. ”

Jia Rudao bowed slightly, his eyes swept from the surrounding ministers, the generals on the left were his two cronies Xia Gui and Han Zhen, and the civil officials on the right were headed by Wang Yao, Zhang Jian, and Chen Yizhong, these three people were also hand-drawn by him, so naturally he was the leader.

Such a position naturally made Jia Rudao confident, thinking that it would be solved smoothly as usual.

It's just that Jia Rudao's eyes moved slightly, but they landed on Zhao Xu's side, and he suddenly wondered in his heart: "When did such a curtain appear here?

Just three feet away from the dragon chair, there is a chair, which is surrounded by a curtain, making it difficult to see the appearance of the people inside, and this curtain naturally attracts the attention of the courtiers.

"Your Majesty!"

Taking a deep breath, when Jia Rudao was about to speak, a voice came from within the curtain.

"Prime Minister Jia Cheng don't have to worry, the mourning family is also here to understand state affairs. After all, the Yuan army is menacing, and our dynasty is imminent, although the mourning family has lived in the palace for a long time, they also know this. If there is anything offended, please don't blame Prime Minister Jia. ”

After hearing this voice, Jia Yidao was immediately shocked.

He hurriedly bowed and said, "It turned out to be Empress Dowager Xie, and Weichen was polite." ”

In the face of Zhao Xuan, Jia Rudao may still be able to rely on various means to deceive the other party, so that he cannot ask for his own control, but for Xie Daoqing, his methods are useless.

After all, Xie Daoqing is not an ordinary person, but the empress of the first emperor Song Lizong, and the mother of Zhao Xu, the current official family, no matter how powerful Jia Daoqing is, he will definitely not be able to confront Xie Daoqing.

"No problem!"

Xie Daoqing replied: "It's just Prime Minister Jia, how do you plan to solve the matter of Luzhou?"

"Well. ”

Jia Rudao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Naturally, I sent troops to rescue." After all, this Luzhou is the gateway to my dynasty, if the Yuan army is taken away, then they can attack Lin'an directly, and then our dynasty will be really dangerous. ”

Zhao Xuan immediately clapped his hands and laughed: "Queen Mother, I said that Jia Rudao must have a way, don't you see that he proposed a plan?"

"Meng Qi, don't be so out of shape, and remember that you are an official, you must have the demeanor that an official family should have, you know?" Xie Daoqing showed a little gloom, which made Zhao Xuan suddenly frightened, and quickly put away his appearance and sat quietly on the throne.

If it is said that in this palace, except for Jia Yidao, Zhao Xuan only listens to Xie Daoqing.

There is no way, the reason why Zhao Xuan was born at the beginning was all because of Xie Daoqing's kindness, and since he was succeeded to Zhao Yun's knees, he has been mostly taken care of by Xie Daoqing, and his natural emotions are a little deeper.

Looking at this scene, Jia Rudao's eyelids jumped, and he was a little panicked in his heart.

"What's going on today, why is Empress Dowager Xie here?"

Seeing that Zhao Xuan'an was divided, Xie Daoqing said again: "What Prime Minister Jia Cheng said is also reasonable. But you also know that now I can't make ends meet, and although I claim to be a million troops, I have less than 100,000 troops available. The Huaxia army is entrenched in the area of Xiangyang, and it is also eyeing us. But I don't know where the soldiers you speak of should be deployed?"

"This!"

was asked by Xie Daoqing, and Jia Rudaodun was in a trap.

The entire Qinzheng Hall was quiet, and all the ministers were silent, just standing in the back, watching Jia Yidao's movements.

At this moment, Jia Rudao felt that all the voices in this hall had disappeared, leaving only his own wheezing and heartbeat, "plopping" and constantly beating, making him feel uncomfortable, even if he wanted to refuse to answer, but he knew that Xie Daoqing was not Zhao Xuan after all, and he would definitely not accept it.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jia Rudao replied: "As the saying goes, within ten steps, there must be fragrant grass." And within ten chambers there shall be a good man. Therefore, I plan to recruit talented people from the country, presumably they are willing to help because they are concerned about the safety of the imperial court. ”

Indeed, there is some work to be done with this method. ”

Xie Daoqing groaned, Jia Rudao felt a little comfortable, thinking that he had finally been fooled.

However, Xie Daoqing changed his mind and said: "It's just Prime Minister Jia, how many people do you think are willing to join?" It's just that this is not enough, the key is that those righteous soldiers who participated have not been trained, but they are afraid that they are not the opponents of the Yuan army that have been in battle for a long time. If they were sent up in a hurry, wouldn't it be tantamount to sending them to death? Moreover, the Yuan army was imminent, and if they wanted to count on this method, it would be too slim after all. ”

When the words settled, Jia Rudao only felt extremely desperate, and wailed in his heart.

"This Empress Dowager Xie, why is she so tricky?

That Zhao Xuan is a child with cerebral palsy, IQ and children are undoubted, in the past, Jia Rudao only needed a little threat and a little gift, and then he could deceive him, even if other ministers questioned it, he could also use the identity of the prime minister to coerce the other party, so that the other party was forced to submit, or take other means to exclude him from the court.

In the past, these tactics were invincible.

However, today, when Jia Rudao faced Xie Daoqing, these methods were completely useless.

"Alas!"

Seeing that Jia Yidao was silent, Xie Daoqing's voice changed, and he said: "If Prime Minister Jia has no choice, maybe the mourning family can only send it to others." After all, the country is important, and we can't give it to others, can we?"

"Queen Mother!"

Jia Rudao heard the threat in it, and immediately raised his voice, his eyes showed a little dissatisfaction, and looked at the beaded curtain: "Weichen also knows that the Queen Mother is thinking about the country, but this matter is too much involved, and it is not a day's work." If you want it to work in a short period of time, I'm afraid that even if it's a micro-minister, it's difficult to do it. ”

He was also tired of Xie Daoqing's several forced questions, and immediately retorted.

Zhao Xuan also persuaded: "Mother, you also saw that Jia Rudao was working hard, and in order to be able to maintain this country, he also worked hard. Mother, believe him once. ”

"Meng Qi. The mourning family is asking Prime Minister Jia Cheng, don't interject. You know what?"

It was still a plain word, but the firm will revealed in it made Zhao Xuan shrink his head, revealing a little fear.

As soon as the words changed, Xie Daoqing asked again: "Jia Rudao." You also said that within ten paces there will be grass, and within ten chambers there will be a gentleman. If you can't solve it, you might as well come up with another person. I believe that I have been a monk for a hundred years, and there should be no shortage of loyal and benevolent people. ”

"It's-"

Jia seemed to be shocked, and according to Xie Daoqing's meaning, it was obvious that he wanted him to step down.

He turned his gaze, but it fell on Chen Yizhong, his eyes were full of pleading, but at this moment, Chen Yizhong was not sitting like a clock, and there was no reaction.

"Queen Mother!"

At this moment, Liu Mengyan couldn't bear it, and stood up straight and complained: "You have lived in the deep palace for a long time, maybe you don't know, but when I was an official, I knew quite a lot. Prime Minister Jia Cheng has worked hard and made great achievements, if it weren't for his hard work over the years, I'm afraid that my dynasty would definitely not be able to support this time. If Prime Minister Jia is allowed to leave like this, I am afraid that it will chill the ministers of the court. ”

Jia Yidao felt a little relieved, and praised: "It's better to stay in Mengyan, and I'm willing to come out to help me at this time." ”

"Alas. Isn't the mourning family worried about their ancestors? If it weren't for Prime Minister Jia Cheng not giving a way, why would the mourning family bother looking for someone else?" Xie Daoqing replied helplessly, her poignant voice also made all the ministers present feel sad.

Liu Mengyan said again: "But hasn't Prime Minister Jia already put forward a plan?"

"That can only be regarded as a suggestion, if it is said to solve the Luzhou crisis, but it is also lacking. Isn't it?" said Xie Daoqing again.

Seeing Xie Daoqing insisting so much, Han Zhen was also a little anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward to complain: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, in fact, I am not without troops in the court, after all, there are still 100,000 forbidden troops in Lin'an here. If these 100,000 forbidden troops are sent out, it should be enough to solve the danger in Luzhou. It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that there will be no protection within Lin'an. After all, this Lin'an doesn't need to be Jinling, it is wild on all sides, and it can't rely on the mountains to defend. Therefore, the emperors of the past dynasties collected the world's wealth and endowed it with Kyoto in order to raise a large army and ensure the safety of the city. ”

This is also the old problem of the Song Dynasty, in order to facilitate economic development, always build the capital in such a place as Bianjing, Lin'an, which extends in all directions, as a result, because there is no natural danger to defend, forced to raise a huge forbidden army in the capital, in order to ensure the safety of the city, its number is more than 100,000 people, but than Chang'an's only 30,000 Central Guard Wu Army is much larger.

And this forbidden army naturally became the heart disease of the Song Dynasty, and it was also a sarcoma that devoured the finances.

"But if that's the case, what about safety?"

Jia Rudao put forward his opinion, he was not very willing to go into battle, after all, the war was too dangerous, and he could die anytime and anywhere.

Xie Daoqing let out a long sigh and replied, "Alas. The reason why Taizu set the country back then was to let the people of the world be safe and give China a peace. If we sit idly by and watch the destruction of Luzhou, how can Lin'an be spared when the time comes? Naturally, we should support it, otherwise the shame of Jingkang back then will happen again. ”

"If that's the case, I'm willing to go out in person. Han Zhen took the lead and hurriedly replied.

Although he is an accomplice of Jia Yidao, he is also from the Jiangmen, and he also has some understanding of the military formation, otherwise how could he be appointed as the commander of the palace and take on the responsibility of guarding the palace?

"Alas. General Han's mind and mourning family understood. It's just that I heard that this march is the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, how can you fight against it?" Xie Daoqing shook his head and refused: "And there are too many troubles in Luzhou, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to suppress everyone with your identity." ”

Jia Rudao's body stiffened, and he felt a fiery gaze fall on him, burning him restlessly.

"In my opinion, this time it is better to be personally led by Prime Minister Jia Cheng, how about it?"

As soon as the words came out, Zhao Xuan hurriedly clapped his hands and smiled: "Father." I'll trouble you this time!" to him, it seemed that this time it was the same as before, and it could be solved quickly, and he could return to Lin'an.

Seeing that Zhao Xuan was the same, Jia Rudao could no longer refuse, so he could only bend down and bow: "The minister obeys the order!"
