Chapter 750 New Neighbor (Part [-])
Shi Kuanzhi didn't think that his father would use his son as a shield.But since Jia Sidao mentioned "yellow-mouthed children", he had to make Shi Kuanzhi suspicious.

The prime minister does not only have one son, besides Shi Kuanzhi, he also has the second son Shi Zhaizhi, the third son Shi Yuzhi, and the nephew Shi Songzhi is also handsome.If Shi Kuanzhi was implicated because of this, even if he was not guilty, he would still be robbed by his peers if he had only been silent for a few years, so how could it happen?

What's more, in the past two months, he has gradually come into contact with smuggling trade by sea and land through Jia Sidao's matchmaking.Although Shi Miyuan himself avoids suspicion and does not participate in the business of the Shanghai trip, but the historian himself is a wealthy family in Yin County, Qingyuan Prefecture, how can the maritime affairs really bypass him?

If this business is done well, no, no, the Zhou Guogong in the north will manage it himself. As long as the historians maintain the scene in the Song Dynasty, it will be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of guan, a huge benefit!

The Song Dynasty has struggled with these years, one is the difficulty of defense in the north, and the other is the financial difficulties of the imperial court.Shi Kuanzhi originally thought that he was the person with the most resources in the Shi Party, controlling Huainan's force with one hand and sea money with the other, which was enough to solve these two problems at the same time.

Based on this, not only Shi Kuanzhi himself can serve as his father's help, but also as his father's political successor, even the entire Shi family of Qingyuan Mansion may go further!
However, no matter how good the future of the Shi family is, if it cannot be controlled by Shi Kuanzhi himself, it will be meaningless.But if the former misses one step, he will miss every step, and if one step is slow, the next step will be slow.That was something Shi Kuanzhi never wanted to see.

That being the case, how to deal with it?

Is it really possible to send people to arrest those who dare to speak nonsense, and cut off this trend from the source?Impossible, this is Lin'an!This is where scholars and scholar-bureaucrats from all over the world gather. Even the prime minister has to look forward and backward when handling affairs. How can you control the leisurely mouth?

Shi Kuanzhi collected himself and asked, "Shi Xian, what can you do?"

"Lang Jun really wants a solution?"

"nature."

"I have a solution, which can not only solve the problems faced by Mr. Lang, but also solve the problems faced by Mr. Shi. It's just..."

"Just what? Come on."

"It's just that it seems a little unbelievable, I'm afraid you won't be able to listen to it..."

Shi Kuanzhi glanced at Jia Sidao: "It's raining outside, and I can't go away. Since you speak, I can't hear you, don't you have to listen? Tell me quickly!"

"The Kingdom of Jin is the neighbor of the Song Dynasty. No matter whether the neighbor is a friendly neighbor or an evil neighbor, it is always there and no one can move it away. Now that the civil strife in the Kingdom of Jin is coming to an end, no matter where In a country, they are all neighbors of Da Song, and they cannot be moved away. However, it is a new neighbor, and it is better to show kindness to the neighbor and get the kindness of the neighbor than to be hostile when the two families come up."

"I'm afraid that the new neighbors are not kind, and they just used us to achieve their ambitions, which is very sinister. Their leader is still using the banner of Guo Zhou, the implication is simply..."

"Let's not talk about the neighbors, sir, just say, does Song Dynasty need the kindness of the neighbors?"

Shi Kuanzhi sighed for a long time and said after a while: "Yes."

"Did the people of the Great Song Dynasty want to restore the old territory and destroy gold for revenge?"

"That's the idea of ​​ignorant and foolish people, how could it be..." Shi Kuanzhi nodded in the middle of speaking: "That's right!"

"Then do it."

Jia Sidao laughed: "Then we will formally form an alliance with the Dinghai Navy and reach an agreement. Maybe we can send troops to seize Tang, Deng and other states, and even some military states in Guanzhong. In this way, the goodwill of the new neighbors will be gained. The hearts of the folks in the Song Dynasty have also been won, this is a two-fold thing, why not?"

Shi Kuanyi waved his sleeves: "I thought Shi Xian, you are serious and serious, and you must have high opinions. I didn't expect to say such crude words. Such words are spread by the grassroots, but you will say it. disappointing."

Jia Sidao was at a loss: "Why is it so rough? Why is your husband so disappointed?"

"Then Guo Ning of the navy named Zhou Guogong as the name, how vicious is the meaning? Isn't that clearly aimed at the Song Dynasty? If we allege with him to destroy the gold, it is to drive the wolves and meet the tiger! You have heard that all the lords in the court Recently, some people have proposed urgently negotiating peace with the Kaifeng court, cutting off the trade with Zhongdu, and then sending troops to aid Kaifeng to fight against Dajin's traitor, Guo Ning!"

Jia Sidao couldn't help laughing: "The princes in the court are either fools, or they are very hostile to Prime Minister Shi."

"how do I say this?"

"Whether the Great Song drives away the wolves or not, the tiger will always drive away the wolves. Whether the Great Song welcomes the tiger or not, the tiger will always become the neighbor of the Great Song. So driving the wolves to meet the tigers has no effect on the relationship with the tiger. At most, it will consolidate the previous cooperation between the two sides. But if Da Song insists on teasing the evil tiger, is it because he thinks he has lived a stable life for too long and wants to see the ferocious power of the Ding Navy?"

Shi Kuanzhi turned around and sat down: "Your words are so meaningful. Keep talking!"

"In my opinion, these people who proposed to support the Kaifeng court did not dare to make an enemy of Dinghai. They just wanted to use this to finalize one thing, that is, the history is wrong, and it is the history who is about to be accepted by the government and the opposition." The pressure, I have to admit that I was deceived by others, which led to the great Song Dynasty falling into the flames of war, and the huge loss of people, property, and things!"

Thinking about it carefully, this is really the style of some people in the court, Shi Kuan nodded subconsciously, and heard Jia Sidao continue to say:

"If you go along with these people, it means you are helping them to cause trouble for Shi Xiang. Is this an appropriate approach? If you ignore the imminent troubles because you are afraid of your new neighbors, is this an appropriate approach? If the immediate troubles can't be solved, can Shi Fan have the strength to deal with his new neighbors?"

Shi Kuanzhi remained silent.

"What's more..." Jia Sidao stood up, looked outside the quiet room, and waved his hands to make the serving doctor and servants retreat far away: "Mr. ear."

Shi Kuanzhi nodded slightly.

"Over the years, the more power the Prime Minister has become, the less he is liked by the court officials and civil servants of Qingliu. They thought that they could use the Prime Minister as a cover for civil servants, but the Prime Minister regarded them as running dogs. The two families have long since torn apart If so, why should we be so scruples?"

Jia Sidao approached Shi Kuanzhi and lowered his voice:
"Flag up the banner of recovering the lost land, and there are countless people in the world to support it. When some land is won, the great prestige will come. With the ability of the historian to rely on this prestige, he will naturally be able to do the following things well. Beautiful, fasten the hat of who is a traitor and who is a villain. Under the general trend, it will not be difficult to completely eliminate the idiots and useless scholars in the court. At that time, Shi Xiang will truly gather all the power of the court , is a hero that everyone expects, maybe in the future... then, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

The meaning of these words is to instigate Shi Kuanzhi nakedly, let him promote the entire political power of Shi Miyuan to surge forward, and then match the power minister in the north.

Such words are truly extremely arrogant, and anyone who leaks the word outside will be condemned to the crime of family punishment and implicate the entire Tiantai Jia family.

But Jia Sidao just said so, and Shi Kuanzhi listened again.

After finishing this passage, Jia Sidao easily picked up the teacup and drank half of it.

Because he can guarantee that such content, Shi and his son must have discussed it in private.

Since ancient times, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism has been the duty of a minister, but it is not necessary for a minister of power.It can even be said that if a minister of power does not have the idea of ​​going further, he is not worthy of the title of minister of power.

After the Southern Crossing of the Song Dynasty, there was Qin Hui first, and then Han Tuozhou, both of whom were rare power officials. Qin Hui relied on the support of the Jurchen to seize the imperial power, and took charge of the military affairs in the capitals of the three provinces as the minister's left servant and privy envoy; As a close servant, he used the government's negligence to gain power under the guise of the imperial pen, and then used the Northern Expedition to coerce the army and the people.

Han Tuozhou's style seems to be powerful, but in fact his foundation is shallow, and he becomes a clown at the slightest disturbance. Shi Miyuan has always looked down on him.However, Shi Miyuan appreciated Qin Zhongxian Gong's method very much, because Shi Miyuan himself is also a figure dancing on the bottom line of political morality. Methods; just like the war or peace with the strong neighbors in the north, they are all the means he uses to control the Great Song Dynasty.

Now that Jia Sidao has made it clear, unless Shi Kuanzhi immediately ordered someone to beat him to death on the spot, he would have to enter into a more critical discussion.But Jia Sidao can guarantee that Shi Miyuan may have such a ruthless decision, but Shi Kuanzhi definitely does not. He values ​​​​Jia Shixian, a young and wealthy partner in Tiantai, just as he values ​​his own bright future.

and so……

Shi Kuanzhi fell into deep thought.

What Jia Sidao said... can it really come true?
Such rebellious words were spoken not in the secret room of the prime minister's mansion, but in a teahouse, which made Shi Kuanzhi's heart skip a beat, but these words seemed to have a special magical power, which made him unable to stop thinking along this line of thought.While thinking about it, he still insisted: "Doing that may be beneficial to my family's power, but it will be greatly detrimental to the country!"

"Country? What country? Great Song Dynasty? Who cared about Great Song Dynasty at that time?"

"What I mean is that Guo Ning easily annexed the Kaifeng court and included the territory of the Dajin Kingdom. With this kind of ferocity, who can not be afraid? If such a person deceives us once, there will be a second time. Someday He sent troops from north to south to attack..."

That being said, I'm worried about this.These noble sons who landed with a golden spoon in their mouths are more indecisive and as timid as a mouse!
Jia Sidao raised his voice slightly, and sneered a few times: "In the past few years, what Shi Xiang wanted to do in the Song Dynasty, there were always people who hindered and stumbled. What should I do in Huainan? You have to be careful, so as not to provoke the fury of the mad dogs in the court. At that time, Shi Xiang will take over the power in one person, and you, sir, will be able to flex your muscles, don't you dare to stand side by side with the north?"

He used to travel in the Northeast inland, either by luring or intimidating, convincing countless Hu chieftains, Qu Shuai, it really didn't take so much effort to deal with these Southern Song people.He was also a little annoyed at the moment, got up and stood in front of Shi Kuanzhi, and looked down:

"If Shi Xianggong and Mr. Lang, you don't have the courage to stand up to the north and the south at all, then I have another proposal."

Shi Kuanzhi leaned back, a little unaccustomed: "What proposal?"

"Shi Xianggong will still be his loyal minister of the Song Dynasty honestly. When Zhou Guogong raises his troops to go south in a certain month in a certain year, let the Zhao family go out of the city to surrender, and be a fool. Anyway, it is the Song Dynasty who loses face, and it has nothing to do with Shi Xianggong relation."

"You, you, shut up!"

Shi Kuanzhi shouted, but he didn't know what to say.

At this time, the rain outside the window had stopped, but neither of the two had the intention of leaving.After being quiet for a while, I suddenly heard someone coughing next to the quiet room.

After Shi Kuanzhi ascended the building, he assigned his trusted servants to occupy the entire floor, so why did someone next door appear to watch him?

He was shocked and asked, "Who? Who's there?"

Jia Sidao was not surprised.He stood still with his hands in his sleeves, nodded slightly, and signaled to the person next door.

A middle-aged voice said: "If Zhou Guogong really has a way to destroy Kaifeng in one fell swoop, I have no other way to think of it except to follow Shi Xian's suggestion. But I still have a few questions, hehe, When you are old, it is inevitable that you will be dull, Shi Xian should not mind."

"Don't dare."

"One, how can you guarantee that Zhou Guogong will be able to take Kaifeng and flatten the Kaifeng court?"

"Since Zhou Guogong started his army, I have followed. I have seen my lord fight north and south for several years. No matter who the opponent is, he is invincible and invincible. It is just a puppet dynasty in Kaifeng, and it is not my lord. opponent."

Hearing this, Shi Kuanzhi suddenly turned his head and stared at Jia Sidao with horror on his face.

The person next door who asked the question had a calm tone: "So that's the case. Then, how can you guarantee that Zhou Guogong is willing to live in peace with me, Da Song, instead of another fraud and surprise attack?

"The peace between the two parties may depend on the continued cooperation between the two parties at sea, and the establishment of trust through tangible interests. However, the key still depends on whether you can organize your army and use military force to deter our forces on the border. A man of the tiger. Otherwise, even if my lord wants peace, it will be very difficult to stop the soldiers' desire to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield."

"Since that's the case, why is your lord so tolerant towards Da Song and loving the prime minister of Da Song so much?"

"My lord is a Han, but there are millions of Jurchens, Khitans, Bohai people, and even all kinds of miscellaneous people in the territory of Dajin Kingdom. Because of these people, my lord will not be able to move up from Zhou Guogong's position. It is easy to win the heart of all people, but it is more likely to kill blood into rivers. In any case, it cannot be completed in a short time. Therefore, my lord hopes that he will not interfere with Da Song, so that he can take care of it slowly. By the way, I also hope that Shi Xianggong used his brain to a high place, so that the younger generation can see, there is something to learn from."

The people next door laughed.

After laughing for a while, he asked again: "Shi Xian, who are you?"

Jia Sidao bowed and saluted: "Duke Zhou Guo of the Great Jin is driving down, and Li Yun, the doctor of the left and right ministers of the Shangshu, has met the Minister of the Song Dynasty."

Shi Miyuan was silent for a while in the next room.

He is naturally concerned about the situation in the north, and he has been gathering the situation of the Chinese and armed forces of the Ding Navy.He had heard of the name Li Yun before, and knew that this person was a subordinate of Zhou Guogong, Guo Ningji, who was in charge of business and diplomacy.

Such a man turned out to be so young and yet so bold.The rules and regulations of the Great Song court were like a joke in front of this person.He understated a few words, and clearly played with his favorite eldest son in the palm of his hand.

If his subordinates are like this, how powerful should Guo Ning be?

After a while, Shi Miyuan called out in a deep voice: "Xue Ji!"

"I'm here."

"Tell the National Information Office that a Dajin envoy has arrived, so hurry up and clean up the Banjing Hall and the Duting Station. Let Ding Cang and Hou Zhongxin be escorts. Give the royal banquet at the Banjing Hall tonight, Xue Ji. Make a banquet, and entertain it!"

"Yes."

Li Yun smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Shi, ahem, I have been in the Southern Dynasties for a long time, and I have seen a lot of delicious food and wine. The imperial banquet should be lighter, and there is no need for big fish and meat."

　I just learned today that when the Southern Song Dynasty received envoys from the Kingdom of Jin, there was an important project, which was to bring an elephant to the post station for the envoys to visit.How to say this project, it feels cute!
