Jia Rudao immediately ordered someone to step forward, wanting to kill people and kill people, and block the opportunity for Lu Wende to listen to his words.

Lu Wende shouted: "Slow down!"

Jia Rudao's government soldiers regained it again, and did not dare to act rashly.

"Do you think that if you kill me, you will be able to hide it from the rest of the world? My younger brother Lu Wenhuan led a large group of people at noon, and saw with his own eyes on the slope behind Yinziao that you and Liu Bingzhong secretly discussing the matter of compensation and land separation. You think that I dare to enter the mansion rashly without preparation, to tell you the truth, I have ordered my younger brother Lu Wenhuan to mobilize troops and horses to surround the mansion, if I can't get out safely, the consequences, presumably the prime minister should know. Lu Wende said to Jia Rudao, without fear, and his demeanor was solemn.

Jia Rudao's heart sank, so he ordered a guard to go out to investigate, and after a while, the guard whispered to Jia Nidao to report, Jia Nidao's face was ugly after hearing it.

"You guys go down!" Jia Rudao immediately made a gesture and ordered all the guards to go out, and then said to Lu Wende in a good voice: "Lord Lu, misunderstanding, I think, we should sit down and have a good chat." ”

Seeing that Jia Rudao was the first to compromise, Lu Wende also ordered his subordinates to go out and put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard.

After everyone went out one by one, Jia Yidao politely asked Lu Wende to sit down, and his attitude also changed, and he lost his previous posture.

Lu Wende retreated slightly to his seat, his face full of gloom.

"When I received the appointment from the Holy Lord, the generals were dissatisfied with the fact that I was born as a civil official and received a military position, I remember that it was Lord Lu who took the lead in supporting me and made my follow-up progress smoothly, in the final analysis, I am grateful to Lord Lu in my heart. Jia seemed to see that it was not good to be hard, and instead thought of using a soft one, so he thought of using the previous incident as an introduction to suppress Lu Wende's anger.

Hearing this, Lu Wende really calmed down a little, and the anger on his face disappeared slightly, but negotiating with the Mongols in private was a traitor, which Lu Wende still couldn't tolerate, so he said,

"That's why I can't sit idly by and watch you betray your country. ”

Listening to this tone, Jia Rudao remembered Lu Wende's family background and his personal spiritual feelings, so he had the idea of persuading Lu Wende, and then argued,

"Master Lu is afraid that he has misunderstood me. ”

Lu Wende replied with a contemptuous look: "I want to listen, what is the misunderstanding here?"

Jia Rudao said with an innocent face: "Things are not as you said, I did not betray the country, the so-called food of the king, bear the worries of the king, as a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, so relied on by the saints, how could I do something traitorous?"

When Lu Wende heard his words, he didn't have the same-for-tat mentality as before.

Jia Rudao's expression was calm, and he said in a sad tone: "Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the Northern Convenience has successively gone through Liao, Jin and now the Mongolian invasion, which war is not ended with peace, which time is not all ceded land and reparations, this point, Lu Daren was born in the army, should know better than me, although the shame of the Great Song Dynasty since Jingkang has a short period of prosperity, but still the national strength is weak, this time the Mongolian army poured out of the nest, all the strength of the attack on my Great Song Dynasty, the offensive is fierce, these, the adults are in the eyes, the Mongols have always been without a fight, a war will have something to gain, otherwise never stop. At the beginning of my appointment, the Holy Lord had already hinted that if the Mongols could negotiate an armistice and peace, they should negotiate well and not use force was the best way. ”

Lu Wende looked at Jia Nidao's expression, he didn't have the previous impulse, but he was moved by what Jia Nidao said, and asked weakly,

"Does the Holy One really mean that?"

Jia Rudao saw that Lu Wende was a little convinced, so he took advantage of the situation and said,

"If Lord Lu doesn't believe it, he can report the facts to the Holy Lord, and I will never stop him, and see if the Holy Lord will dismiss me, put me in prison, and punish my nine clans for the crime of betraying the country?"

Lu Wende looked at Jia Yidao's expression, and couldn't help but sway a little in his heart.

Jia Rudao took advantage of the situation and chimed in,

"I am a courtier, but an important minister in the court, in charge of the country's affairs, in the final analysis, my lord is still a vassal general outside the court, I know many things, but my lord does not know, and I can't know;

Jia Rudao's words are very vicious, using his identity as an important minister in the court, deceiving Lu Wende by listening to the holy will, and deliberately using words such as inward and outward to stimulate Lu Wende's sore spots, so that he has to believe in it, and has more thoughts of longing for Jia Rudao to protect him in the court.

After listening to what Jia Nidao said, Lu Wende couldn't help but think about it carefully, and secretly weighed it, and suddenly thought of Jia Nidao's use of force to get rid of him, and he felt that it was wrong, so he asked loudly,

"Then why don't you tell me directly, but you want to kill me?"

Jia Rudao had already thought of a response, and then replied: " Lord Lu's words are wrong, first, although the matter of peace has always existed, but after all, it is the shame of the emperor, although the saint has this intention, but how can he tell at will, if I am not the prime minister of the court, how can the saint give a hint, how dare I take it privately, after all, it is about the emperor's face and the judgment of the history books, so I concealed it and refused to tell it directly; second, the lord has made outstanding achievements, but he is a minister relied on by the saint, I have never thought of killing the lord, just now, it has always been the lord who privately thought that I was going to kill you, I have never mentioned the word to kill you, besides, even if I really have the intention to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and want to kill you and destroy your mouth, then how can I explain the death of you, an important minister in the armyMaster Fangcai's words were fierce, and he had no respect for me as a prime minister, so I was angry in my heart, and I was anxious for a moment, and I wanted to teach you a lesson. ”

Lu Wende sounded reasonable, but found that the explanation of the murder was too far-fetched, so he said bluntly: "Although the prime minister did not explicitly say that he wanted to kill me, but looking at the posture, it is clear that it is not as simple as a lesson, teach me how to believe you?"

"My lord has been angry with me since he broke into my house, and his words are so sharp, one by one, one by one, and I am not calm at all, even if I have the heart to tell me directly, I am afraid that the adults will not calm down and listen to me, nor will they believe what I say, I only let people restrain the adults first, and let you calm down, so that what I say, the adults can listen to it, so I have to use force. What's more, this matter should not be publicized, the voice of the adult is loud, I am afraid that more unrelated people will know about this matter, which is against the sacred heart, so I made this decision, which is also a last resort. ”

Lu Wende listened to Jia Yidao's further explanation, and felt that there was a little bit of truth, so he didn't study it in detail. Turning apologetic,

"That being the case, Prime Minister, please forgive me for my rudeness. ”

"It's okay, it's just that this matter is about the emperor's face, and please don't make a noise, if this matter spreads and embarrasses the saint, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to eat and walk around." Jia Rudao's words were polite and polite on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly thinking, nothing more than wanting to use Emperor Song to suppress Lu Wende, with sinister intentions.

"Thank you Prime Minister for mentioning it, you should be tight-lipped and don't mention it again. Lu Wende assured with a serious face,

When Jia Rudao heard this, he felt at ease, and finally passed the level of Lu Wende.

"It's just that I still don't know about the death of General Zhang Rou, can the prime minister explain it?" Lu Wende remembered that he still had a doubt in his heart, so he took the opportunity to ask,

Jia Rudao saw that Lu Wende already believed in himself, so he didn't have to hide this matter anymore, so he said truthfully,

"In the current situation, you also know that the Mongolian king of Mobei, Ali Buge, and the king of Monan, Kublai Khan, are fighting for the throne, Zhang Rou is a spy sent by the king of Mobei to Kublai Khan, and was discovered by Kublai Khan, Kublai Khan hindered the status of their father and son in the army, so he wanted to get rid of the father and son by the hands of our Song army, first, to calm his prestige in the army, and second, not to make the king of Mobei suspicious. Therefore, Kublai Khan set up a bureau and asked us to cooperate, so that the conditions for peace negotiations could also be reduced, and I thought that no matter who this Zhang Rou was used in the future, it would be quite unfavorable to our Great Song Dynasty, and in addition, he could kill him to relieve the pressure of Mongolia on our Great Song negotiations, so I agreed. ”

Lu Wende knew how powerful Zhang Rou was, and couldn't help but wonder,

"This Zhang Rou has always had a close relationship with Kublai Khan, the king of Monan, how can he be the person of the king of Mobei?"

Jia Rudao replied: "On the occasion of this battle for Khan, who can judge whether it is a spy or not, but this Kublai Khan is also ruthless enough, the explosives instantly razed the entire Fenghua Temple to the ground, Zhang Rou and his son hid in the temple, afraid that the bones are gone, Kublai Khan pretended to hold a funeral for him, nothing more than to cover up, in case the king of Mobei is suspicious." ”

Lu Wende listened to Jia Nidao's analysis and felt that it was reasonable, but unfortunately, he didn't know that Liu Bingzhong also said this to Jia Nidao, and both of them believed it.

Jia Rudao suddenly thought of Lu Wende's family, remembered his overtures at the beginning of his appointment, and couldn't help but think of Lu Wende's intentions and pains, and never thanked him well, so he thought of taking this opportunity to reach a tacit understanding with Lu Wende and form an alliance inside and outside the court, so as to ensure his position in the court and the long-term prosperity of the Lu Wende family, and take what they need.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to show goodwill, even if the secret peace negotiation is revealed in the future, Lu Wende will also be bound by the family and have some concerns, Jia Rudao thought of this, coughed a few times, and said,

"As far as I know, Lord Lu is full of heroes, and your younger brothers Lu Wenxin, Lu Wenhuan and Lu Wenfu all have military merits, which is really enviable and admirable!"

Lu Wende said modestly: "The prime minister has an overreputation. ”

Jia Rudaofu asked again: "Lord Lu's younger brothers are all foreign generals, but do any cronies serve in the court?"

Lu Wende was asked by Jia Yidao about the sore spot in the center, and he couldn't help but feel helpless, and replied lightly: "It's not a secret, it's really not." ”

Jia Rudao thought that if he could form an alliance with such a military general family, he would be able to dominate the government and the opposition day by day, so he euphemistically mentioned to Lu Wende,

"This time, I was ordered to coordinate the war situation in Ezhou, and when I came out of the court, I deeply felt that if there was no help from someone who was able to do it outside, it would be difficult to take charge of things outside the court.

Lu Wende is a shrewd person, the deep meaning implied by Jia Rudao's words, he understood it as soon as he heard it, and thought that if he could reach a tacit understanding with Jia Nidao, and protect and support each other inside and outside the government and the opposition, he would be able to ensure the long-term prosperity of the family, and the previous support for Jia Nidao implied this meaning, but Jia Nidao did not respond at the beginning, and Lu Wende was worried about it for several days.

"I wonder if the Prime Minister is willing to become a close friend with me, and in the future, I can help each other inside and outside, so that I can avoid the encounters that the Prime Minister said?"

Jia Rudao saw that Lu Wende meant this, so he readily agreed: "Yes, how can you be unwilling?"

The two reached a tacit understanding on this, thinking that the time was not early, and the time of an hour was almost up, Lu Wende was worried that if he stayed too long, Lu Wenhuan would lead the troops to rush into the mansion, so he said goodbye and left.

Jia Rudao personally sent Lu Wende outside the mansion, and then returned to the mansion.

When Lu Wenhuan saw Lu Wende come out, he led a few guards to come forward to answer, and when he saw Lu Wende's face was happy, he couldn't help but wonder a little, when he entered the mansion, he was angry and aggressive, but now he was beaming when he came out of the mansion, and his posture was peaceful;

"Big brother, what are you doing in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Lu Wende did not answer, but asked Lu Wenhuan to quickly lead the troops back.

Entering the gate of the mansion was originally to ask the teacher to ask for sin, but now, out of the gate of the mansion is to happily return with friends, which can not help but make people sigh at the shrewdness of Jia Rudao, the snobbery of Lu Wende, and even more sigh at the bureaucratic stale atmosphere of the Southern Song Dynasty.
