The next day, the news of prime minister Jia Sidao's injury reached Prime Minister Ding Daquan's ears

after hearing this, Ding Daquan was really surprised and immediately went to his son Ding song's restaurant. At the same time, Ma Tianji, his confidant, the Bachelor of Ming Palace, and Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the University, were in a hurry.

These two people rush to Ding song's restaurant, they are all at a loss, don't know what important thing Ding Daquan has.

"Did you hear that Jia Sidao was plotted when he went back to his residence last night? Now he is seriously injured and bedridden." Ding Daquan.

After hearing this, both of them were surprised and asked in disbelief, "how is this possible?"

After saying that, they can't help but stare at Ding Daquan.

It is obvious that Dong songchen and Ming Palace scholar Ma Tianji think that Ding Daquan did it.

All the officials in the DPRK know that Prime Minister Ding and Prime Minister Jia are at loggerheads. They are fighting fiercely. Now they are at a critical moment when they are on duty. Who else can have the ability to deal with Jia Sidao?

Ding Daquan is not a fool to be afraid of being in such a high position as the prime minister. Seeing their expressions, he naturally knows that they are doubting themselves.

I asked, "do you think he did it?"

Naturally, they would not admit that they thought so. Ma Tianji, the master of the Ming Palace, said: "Mr. Xiang, you think too much. If you did it, you will definitely inform me in advance, won't you? "

" it's nature. The three of us are now both prosperous and disadvantaged. "Ding Daquan.

After that, he added: "in fact, you two are here to hear your views on this matter. "

" I think it's a bit strange. Do you think that over the years, few people have offended Jia Sidao? Those people don't want to kill him, but Jia Sidao hasn't lost a hair. After all, Jia Sidao recently hired a mysterious person to guard the prime minister's residence. It's said that this person's martial arts skills are very good How can ordinary people get close to him? "Ma Tianji, the Ming Palace scholar, said to Dong songchen:" Mr. Dong, you are the general manager of the imperial palace. What did Jia Sidao do last night? "

" it wasn't the old slave who was on duty last night, but in the morning, I heard the father-in-law on duty in the palace say that when Jia Sidao wanted to come in, the gate of the palace had been locked. I don't know how to deal with it, but old general Dong Huai let her in. "Dong answered.

Ding Daquan said: "Dong Huai has always been very dissatisfied with Jia Sidao's weak policy towards Mongolia. Since he was on duty, how could he let Jia Sidao in? "

" the old slave doesn't know. "Dong answered.

Ma Tianji, a scholar of the Ming Palace, said: "Jia Sidao has always been a good talker. Dong Huai was born as a military general. With Jia Sidao's ingenuity, it's easy to deceive Dong Huai into opening the gate of the imperial city. "

" well, what Mr. Ma said is very reasonable. It's really not a difficult thing for Jia Sidao. "Ding Daquan.

Dong songchen said: "I heard that in the morning, Jia Sidao went to the palace late at night to pay a tribute to his majesty. His name is" marshal tietou. It is said that this cricket is very magical. "

"What's the use of a cricket, just a bug for fun?" Ding Daquan asked with disapproval.

"Don't underestimate this cricket, Mr. Xiang," said Dong songchen. "It's said that it can predict things five hundred years from now. After seeing today's emperor, it even barks a few times, indicating that the Song Dynasty can exist for hundreds of years."

"Pure broken is bullshit. Mr. Dong, you've been cheated. Who doesn't know that Jia Sidao is a master at playing with crickets. If he wants to catch a valuable cricket and let it bark in front of the emperor, it's as easy as a palm to him." Ding Daquan.

Although Dong songchen was a slave, he was also a character who would shake his feet everywhere in the palace. Now when he heard Ding Daquan directly say that he had been cheated, he was naturally a little unconvinced. He said, "you ding Xiangye don't understand the mystery of crickets. Naturally, you don't believe it. But today the emperor is not a confused king, and he also plays crickets If Jia Sidao really fooled Huangshan, could the emperor not see it? "

"In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. The most important thing is that the holy God believes in it. You should know that the holy God appreciates Jia Sidao's strategy of governing the country with insects. Otherwise, he won't report the villain as the prime minister all the way." Ma Tianji, a scholar of Ming Palace.

Ding Daquan said: "in fact, what we are thinking about now is Jia Sidao's purpose of offering crickets late at night."

"It's also lucky for Jia Sidao. Last night, the emperor happened to rest in the elegant building of Princess Jia. After the emperor met the" marshal tietou ", Jia Sidao was happy, and he persuaded his majesty to accept the idea of peace with the Mongolian mission." Dong songchen said.

Ding Daquan asked in a hurry, "what did your majesty say?""The emperor was very happy playing crickets. Naturally, he agreed to Jia Sidao's request and allowed him to go to the state guesthouse the next day, that is, this morning to discuss peace with the Mongolian mission." Dong answered.

After hearing this, Dong songchen happily said: "this is God's help. No one thought that Jia Sidao would work hard to succeed, but he met an assassin and was seriously injured."

After that, he lifted the tea bowl and took a big drink.

Seeing that Ding Daquan was so happy, Ma Tianji, a Bachelor of the Ming Palace, said, "don't be happy too soon, Mr. Xiang. It's not necessarily a good thing."

"Mr. Ma, as soon as Jia Sidao was injured, he couldn't go to negotiate peace with the Mongolian mission. Those who supported Jia Sidao's negotiation must be scared when they saw that Jia Sidao was assassinated because of the negotiation. At least they didn't dare to support Jia Sidao's idea. This assassin has helped us a lot. If we can see this assassin, we should have a good feeling How can we say that it's not a good thing to thank this person? " Ding Daquan asked a little displeased.

Ma Tianji, a scholar of the Ming Palace, said: "if you don't know whether the news of Jia Sidao's being assassinated and seriously injured is true or false, even if he is really injured, you are so happy, and you advocate alliance with the diplomatic missions of western countries, will the emperor doubt that you sent assassins to assassinate Jia Sidao?"

"I see. You mean to say that this is actually a trap made by Jia Sidao himself. He deliberately lured us to take the opportunity to sue us in front of the emperor." Ding Daquan asked.

Ma Tianji, a scholar of Duanming palace, said: "there are several possibilities. The first is that the assassination was originally a fraud directed and played by Jia Sidao. In fact, no one sent an assassin to assassinate him. The assassin was originally Jia Sidao's person."

After listening to the analysis of Ma Tianji, the scholar of Duanming palace, Ding Daquan could not help admiring himself and said: "it's really right to use this person as your own military adviser. I think the problem is that he is more thorough and profound than others."

"What about the second possibility?" Ding Daquan asked.

Ma Tianji, the Bachelor of Duanming palace, replied: "the second possibility is that someone sent a master to assassinate Jia Sidao, but Jia Sidao was not as seriously injured and bedridden as it is said by the outside world

"Then in your opinion, why did he do it?" Ding Daquan asked.

Ma Tianji, a scholar of the Ming Palace, replied: "if this is the case, Jia Sidao's action is to lead the snake out of the hole and let the people who prevented him from negotiating peace get carried away. He is good at highlighting the surprise troops."

"What about the third possibility?" Ding Daquan asked.

Ma Tianji, a scholar of Duanming palace, replied: "the third possibility is that he was indeed assassinated and seriously injured."

Then he thought about it and said, "if it's such a possibility, it's a great thing for Ding Xiangye. If Jia Sidao is seriously injured, no one in the court will be able to compete with you. Even if he doesn't die, when he is seriously injured, he can't carry on the peace talks with the Mongolian mission."

"This last possibility should be the best for us." After hearing this, Ding Daquan said.

Ma Tianji, the scholar of Duanming palace, said: "you are right, but the last possibility is really too small, or almost impossible

"But, Mr. Ma, when this man has a slip and a horse has a slip, maybe Jia Sidao has achieved his goal in the holy place. If he is a little overjoyed, he will take no precautions and the assassin will succeed. The old slave thinks that the third possibility is quite big." Dong songchen pondered for a while and said.

Ma Tianji, the scholar of Duanming palace, glanced at Dong songchen and said, "Mr. Dong, let's make things worse when dealing with people like Jia Sidao."

As the saying goes, "it's better for us to be lenient than for the enemy.". "Ding Daquan.

Ding Daquan then asked, "what should we do next?"

"It's very simple. Since we don't know the situation, we have to ask for directions." Ma Tianji, a scholar of the Ming Palace, replied.

Ding Daquan listened to him and asked, "Mr. Ma, do you mean ... "

" since Jia Sidao is pretending to be a ghost, you should go straight to the prime minister's residence of Jia Sidao to find out. " Duanming palace scholar Ma Tianji road.

Ding Daquan patted his thigh and said: "this proposal is really good. To tell you the truth, I haven't been to Jia Sidao's prime minister's residence for several years. Jia Sidao never thought that I would visit him. "

" now that you've decided to go, you'd better hurry. Jia Sidao is also very smart. For a long time, I'm afraid that he will think of this, and he will be on guard. "Duanming palace scholar Ma Tianji said.

Ding Daquan nodded: "Mr. Ma is very right"

"after that, he called his son Ding song up and said: son, it's very hard for Mr. Dong and Mr. Ding to get here in their busy schedule today. If you want to do something for your father, you should treat them well. "Ding Daquan.Ding song replied: "Dad, you can rest assured that the child will treat Mr. Dong and Mr. Ma well."

This restaurant is the best enjoyment in the eyes of Lin'an's dignitaries. It's not easy for them to come here once, so they won't leave immediately. It's said that Ding Daquan is going to meet Jia Sidao for a while. They said in a hurry: "don't be polite, Mr. Ding Xiangye. It's the same with you. You don't have to be polite. Just go."

Ding Daquan made a bow to the crowd and left the restaurant in a hurry.

Then Ding song was afraid, and a group of beautiful women came up from below with the beautiful melody.

It's how to attract the attention of these professionals.

With the dance of music, their eyes make Dong songchen and Ma Tianji, the Bachelor of Duanming palace, act against themselves.

Ding Daquan is not at his side. Ding song also lets go. He sits beside them and keeps persuading them to drink.

Seeing that both of them were in high spirits, Ding song asked, "how about, Mr. Ding and Mr. Dong? Do you think these dances can still enter your eyes?"

"Well, it's really good. It's better than what I saw last time. It's very beautiful." Dong song's officials smile and dance.

Seeing him like this, Ding Songxin said, "Dong songchen is a eunuch, but he is also so lustful. It's ridiculous."

But on the surface, he said politely: "Oh, Mr. Dong, I know that you are giving me face. You are the red man around the saint today. What kind of beauty have you never seen?"

"That's not the same. The women in the palace are too single. The women here are so charming as Mr. Ding." Dong songchen, while staring at these beauties, replied.

Ma Tianji, the scholar of Duanming palace, said, "Oh, I didn't expect that you, Mr. Dong, have such experience."

"That's of course. When the old slave is around the Holy One, the most contact is women. He usually manages a large group of women for the Holy One. Naturally, he has a better understanding of women's affairs." Dong songchen said triumphantly.

Ding Song said, "I'll let these women have a good drink. My father-in-law will have a few drinks. If you give them some advice, they will not be able to use up."

"That's to say, after your father-in-law Dong's advice, they have entered the Palace once. I don't know if they have been cultivating virtue and happiness for several generations." Duanming palace scholar Ma Tianji road.

Ding Song said: "Mr. Ma is absolutely right. At that time, people who come to my place will surely praise your father-in-law Dong's ability when they see that this group of women's behavior has changed greatly."
