The change of the emperor almost attracted the attention of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and naturally it could not be hidden from Jia Sidao's eyes and ears.
Jia Sidao, a powerful minister in the Southern Song Dynasty, was deeply trusted by the late emperor. After the death of Lizong Zhao Yun, Duzong respected him even more, almost to the point of obeying his words.
As soon as Zhao Yu came to the throne, he appointed Jia Sidao as the Grand Master, and soon after, he was given the important military affairs of Pingzhang, and he became more and more favored by him. It can be said that Jia Sidao is the leader of thousands of people under one person in the court. status!
This time he pretended to be ill just to give the emperor a warning, and he went out of the palace without making a sound, without even noticing himself, he simply didn't take him seriously.
So when he knew that the emperor was returning to Lin'an, he deliberately waited for the other party to come to visit him, and then subdued him and invited him to court, just like every time before, because he knew that the emperor could not do without him, and the other party counted on him. He helped him stabilize the country and deal with the Mongols.
But this time it seemed to be a little different. He waited for more than ten days without even seeing the emperor. Instead, he heard from his confidants that the emperor suddenly became more diligent in his administration, handling political affairs in an orderly manner, calm and decisive, as if he had changed like.
He was a little terrified, always felt that something out of his control had happened, and then a message from the harem made him unable to sit still anymore, and early the next morning, he carefully held the thing he had finally obtained with paper Get on the sedan chair and go to the morning court.
So, 12 days after Yan Jingbai returned to Lin'an, he finally met this famous treacherous official.
Contrary to his expectations, this Grand Master Jia Sidao was neither snarky nor hideous. Instead, he had an upright look on his face.
Also, if he is really ugly and looks like a bad person, it is impossible for him to win the trust of the emperor and hold a high position and power for decades.On the contrary, this extremely upright look is the most deceptive.
"Master Grand Master..." Yan Jingbai leaned slightly, with a half-smile, "Your body has healed?"
Jia Sidao's heart skipped a beat. With so many years of experience in the court, he instinctively sensed the danger.
The emperor has changed!It became even bigger than he imagined!
When the other party's dark eyes were staring at him, he couldn't help but want to avoid it.
But it was only for a moment, his fingers lightly touched the things in the sleeve, and his fearful heart calmed down all of a sudden.
"The old minister thanked the officials for their concern!" He looked up at the aloof emperor, and said as if teaching and questioning: "It's just that what the officials have done this time is really absurd, leaving the palace without authorization, and being reckless, what is it like? It's what an emperor should do! Have the officials ever thought about what would Song Dynasty do if you made a mistake?! What should the common people do?! The officials made a big mistake this time!"
The more he talked about the latter, the harsher he was. He was used to saying this to Zhao Yu, and so were all the civil and military officials. It can be said that Jia Sidao would never save face for the emperor when he taught him a lesson. Anyway, Zhao Xuan would never dare to punish him for his crimes, and would even be weak and weak, not daring to refute half a word.
However, such a scene would come up from time to time in the past, but today all the officials were terrified when they heard it, even they themselves didn't know why they felt this way, countless eyes seemed to have a tacit understanding He looked at the sitting emperor.
Yan Jingbai's face was expressionless, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking now, and his pair of pitch-black eyes were bottomless.
Something was wrong, Jia Sidao frowned and thought, at this time before, Zhao Yu had already bowed his head to him and admitted his mistake, instead of staring at him quietly, cold sweat broke out behind his back.
"Officials..." Jia Sidao called out in a low voice.
Yan Jingbai smiled softly: "I heard it, Grand Master Jia should step back."
that's it? !
Jia Sidao, who has always been arrogant and domineering, even the emperor backed down three points, was very dissatisfied. He flicked his sleeves and said loudly: "The old minister still has something to tell the officials!"
"Say!" Yan Jingbai said lightly.
Jia Sidao took out a booklet and a contract from his sleeve, and said, "The old minister worked hard and racked his brains, and finally persuaded the Mongols to sign an armistice agreement."
As soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of whispering in the hall, and Jia Sidao raised his beard proudly.
The contract, together with the memorial, was presented with both hands by the eunuch serving behind Yan Jingbai.
Yan Jingbai didn't open it right away to take a look. He put his hands on his knees, lowered his eyes and said, "A truce...then what is the other party's condition?"
Jia Sidao stroked his beard and said: "The Great Song Dynasty needs to be a minister to Mongolia, and the annual offering is 20 taels of silver and 20 bolts of silk."
"That's it..." Yan Jingbai glanced around, and said, "What do other lovers say?"
Jia Sidao's disciples were the first to jump out and said, "Such a condition is not too harsh, and I think I can agree to it."
Hearing this, Yan Jingbai stood up slowly, picked up the memorial and the contract from the case, flipped through it carelessly, and said while flipping through him, "Is there no objection? Li Qing, do you agree?"
Li Tingzhi came out, bowed and said: "The Mongols are powerful, our army is not an opponent, we can only avoid the edge for the time being."
"My lords don't agree with you!" A clear voice suddenly sounded, causing everyone to look sideways.
It was Zhang Shijie who spoke. A few days ago, he jumped three ranks in a row with the help of saving him. The young general who was promoted by the emperor himself is now standing at the bottom of the generals.
I saw him kneeling on one knee, and said with righteous indignation: "The Mongols are the mortal enemies of our Song Dynasty. Their wolf ambitions have never died. They will negotiate peace with us now because the Mongolian Khan has just died, and the situation in Mongolia is unstable. That's all, we don't take this opportunity to attack head-on, but profess to be a vassal and pay taxes, which is really the next policy!"
Jia Sidao's beard trembled, and he accused the youthful young man with a livid complexion, and shouted angrily: "Yellow mouth boy! What do you know! You can talk about important affairs of the court!"
Zhang Shijie said coldly: "I am the commander in front of the palace appointed by the official family. Even if the official rank is not as high as yours, I am a minister in the same palace as the grand master. Why can't I talk about government affairs?!"
Jia Sidao was in a hurry.
Even Li Tingzhi, who had always been at odds with Jia Sidao, frowned and said: "The Mongols are powerful, and the Mongolian iron cavalry are even more brave and good at fighting. Although I don't want to admit it, the Song Army is indeed no match. Now the only way is to agree to negotiate peace and increase your own strength." Only after the strength can we have the ability to fight the Mongols."
Zhang Shijie sneered and said: "I used to think that Mr. Li was a rare loyal man in the Song Dynasty, and the armored cavalry you led were the elite among the elite. The army is proud, but seeing you today, you are just like that, no different from those villains who wholeheartedly seek peace and are afraid of Mongolia."
Being squeezed by him like this, even a person with a good temper would be pissed off, not to mention Li Tingzhi, who was already bad-tempered.
If it wasn't for the court, if it wasn't for the emperor standing not far away and watching them quietly, if it wasn't for the way from Xiangyang to Lin'an, he still had some appreciation for this handsome young man, he would have kicked him a long time ago. passed.
And he is not much better now, his face is dark, staring at him almost wants to bite him.
Not to be outdone, Zhang Shijie also stared back at him.
"He's a man with some blood." Shi Zhixuan chuckled.
Yan Jingbai said indifferently: "Unfortunately, after all, he is still young and lacks some enthusiasm."
Saying this, he suddenly took a step forward, and the memorial in his hand hit the dragon chair heavily, and the sound of "bang bang bang" made the people below tremble slightly.
"Have you had enough noise?" Yan Jingbai stood on the altar, looking down at the officials.
This time, even Li Tingzhi knelt down.
Yan Jingbai waved the things in his hands, and said calmly: "To surrender to Mongolia and pay the old coin in exchange for the enemy's non-aggression, do you all think this is a very good deal?"
Without waiting for the people below to answer, Yan Jingbai suddenly got into trouble and threw the thing in his hand on the ground forcefully, making a loud bang.
His voice is not high, even a little hoarse, but very heavy, very deep, like a thunderbolt in everyone's ears.
"But I find it embarrassing!"
With a swipe, one kneeled in the hall, even Jia Sidao was captured by such momentum, and knelt down together, the cold ground made his knees that had not suffered for a long time sore.
"First the Jin people and then the Mongols. Whether it was the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, they always retreated and retreated when facing foreigners! Now that the huge territory is torn apart, I and you can only shrink to a corner, relying on the cession of land and compensation. You can be content with the status quo, don't think about rebelling, and wait for the Mongols to slow down and obediently be subjugated slaves, but I can't do it!"
"I don't want to be a subjugated monarch, and I'm even more afraid that I won't be able to face my ancestors after death!"
"Officials..." Civil and military officials bowed down one after another.
"Your Majesty! I swear to fight the Mongols to the end, and never be a subjugated slave!" Zhang Shijie said with firm eyes.
"I also swear to be incompatible with the Mongols!" Someone echoed.
"Long live the official family! Long live the Song Dynasty!"
"Expel the Mongolian Tartars!"
"..."
More and more people joined in, only Jia Sidao's henchmen and some individuals remained silent.
They are all carefully observing the current situation.
Jia Sidao's face was livid, he signed the contract, he brought up the peace negotiation, every word of the emperor, every word of the officials was like a slap in the face, hard on his face.
He has been aloof for most of his life, and he has never been humiliated like this. Although he was shocked by the emperor's change, he still said coldly: "Officials! You are the emperor, and every decision you make is related to the survival of the country. The old minister advises you Think about it carefully, once some things are done wrong, they can never be undone!"
"Thank you, Grand Master Jia, for your advice." Yan Jingbai said calmly, "It's just that the grand master is old, and I'm afraid the government affairs of the court are already beyond his capacity. For the sake of the grand master's health, I don't dare to keep the grand master anymore. From today onwards, Master Taishi will be relieved of all duties, and you can rest at home for the elderly."
Jia Sidao's eyes widened suddenly, he never expected that the other party's brief sentence would actually remove him from his official position, didn't he respect himself?Didn't he obey what he says and never disobey?At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he had tried to test him with his resignation, but in the end, he groveled and begged him to come back?
But what is going on now? !
It's not scientific at all to be fired by the emperor!
