After listening to Emperor LiZong's instructions, Jia Sidao expressed his satisfaction and said that he would soon let the emperor see a satisfactory result.

At this time, out of concern for emperor LiZong's body, Princess Jia said: "holy, this night is already very deep. You'd better have a rest, or the dragon body matters."

When the cricket was sleeping, the emperor and his wife would go to bed to talk. "

" Your Majesty, if you want to talk to me about crickets, I will welcome you at any time, but if it affects your rest, I can't afford it. "Jia Sidao said to Emperor LiZong.

Emperor LiZong said: "Jia Aiqing, you accompany me to talk about crickets. That's the best rest for me. "

after that, he said to Princess Jia," Princess Ai, let your kitchen prepare some food for me and Aiqing. I'm not tired, but I'm a little hungry now. "

in the Imperial Palace, there is a special imperial kitchen, but there is a fixed time for the preparation of things in the imperial kitchen, which is generally centered on the emperor.

In this case, in the harem, the concubines with certain status set up a small kitchen in their residence, which can make some things they like to eat at any time according to their tastes and hobbies.

In the middle of the night, the emperor wanted to eat. Naturally, Princess Jia would not let anyone inform the imperial kitchen. In order to get more favor from the emperor, she wanted to go down to her own kitchen and direct her kitchen to make some exquisite cakes.

"At your Majesty's command. "Concubine Jia promised," she said.

I went out to do my own business.

Jia Sidao saw that emperor LiZong was really in a good mood. When he reached his goal, he was also in a good mood. He said: Your Majesty, you cricket, in fact, from the big aspect, you can be divided into the South insect and the North insect. "

it turns out that the south is the south of the Yangtze River, a land of soft jade and warm fragrance. The top crickets living here are very resilient. When they first enter the cricket basin, they seem very quiet. But once they are provoked by cricket grass, even if they meet fierce crickets, they can fight for a long time. When they are exhausted, they can accumulate The power of the fierce burst out, at one stroke to eliminate the opponent.

Although the crickets in the north are fierce, once they are entangled by the crickets in the south, they can't use their strength. They can only run around in the cricket basin.

after listening to Jia Sidao's words, Emperor LiZong twisted his beard and said, "Jia Ai Ai Qing, your words actually contain this profound principle of governing the country, which is much better than those decadent old ministers in the court."

"Your Majesty is really my confidant. In fact, the Hanting of Helin is just like the crickets in the north. Their cavalry seems to be fierce, but when they come to the south of the Yangtze River, they will take advantage of not eating." Jia Sidao said.

Emperor LiZong nodded and said, "Ai Qing, you are quite right. Our Song Dynasty is now in the south of the Yangtze River. Ships are the best means of communication. Their Mongolian horses can't play an advantage here."

"Your Majesty is wise. In fact, the Mongols are also very clever. They have not made any further progress since the front of the army pointed to the Yangtze River." Jia is like Tao.

Emperor LiZong said: "yes, but Mongolia's national strength is much stronger than ours after all. It's like a fierce cricket in a fighting basin. If you really make him anxious, he may jump out of the cricket basin."

"Yes, the Mongolian cavalry is just like the fierce crickets in the fighting basin. It's really hard for them to play with their lives Jia Sidao said to Emperor LiZong.

Emperor LiZong said: "it is in consideration of this that since the Mongols came to negotiate peace, I feel that since they have sincerity, we Song Dynasty, as a land of etiquette, can't go too far."

When they were chatting, they saw that Princess Jia came in again, followed by two maids, carrying plates.

With a smile on her face, Princess Jia said, "well, you gentlemen and ministers should have a rest. After talking for so long, you'd better eat something quickly. Only when you have strength can you speak."

When they heard Jia Guifei's words, they noticed that she didn't know when she had come in.

Emperor LiZong said, "I have been too involved in the conversation with Jia Aiqing for a long time."

After that, she told Jia Guifei to arrange the food, and Jia Sidao's brothers and sisters accompanied her to the meal.

Jia Sidao bowed and gave a salute, playing: "holy, it's very late now, in order not to disturb you, I won't disturb you to eat, so I'll leave."

"Jia Aiqing, it's really hard for you to bring me good news so late at night and accompany me to discuss the way of governing the country. I order you to stay. If you don't accompany me to dinner, I will be angry." Emperor LiZong asked him to stay.

Jia Sidao looked at his sister, meaning to ask for his advice. Jia Guifei said: "brother, since your majesty has orders, you just respect the orders."

Seeing that his sister said the same, Jia Sidao sat down and accompanied emperor LiZong to dinner.As he ate, Jia Sidao asked: "Your Majesty, the mission of the western countries is still in Lin'an City. If we choose to talk with Mongolia, we will not be able to form an alliance with the western countries. When Wei Chen said this, he wanted to ask your majesty how to deal with the affairs of the western countries."

"As long as the peace talks between Song Dynasty and Mongolia have not been settled for one day, let Ding Daquan treat western diplomatic missions with equal treatment." Emperor LiZong and a bird's nest, road.

Jia Sidao was a little worried and said, "but your majesty, if we go on like this, when we go to communicate with Mongolian envoys, will people think that we are insincere and blame us for that?"

"No, you can rest assured. The more the western missions are here, the more anxious they are." Li Zong emperor road.

At this time, Jia Sidao already understood the meaning of emperor LiZong. He quickly praised emperor LiZong and said, "Your Majesty, you are really a good means to let them fight with each other. When the Song Dynasty comes, we can make both ends meet and get the maximum benefit from it."

After hearing this, Emperor LiZong laughed and drank all the bird's nest in his bowl.

Jia Sidao quickly put his bowl on the table, got up, bowed to Emperor LiZong, and said, "Your Majesty, I've almost eaten. If you don't have any other orders, I'll leave, so as not to affect your rest."

At this time, Emperor LiZong was a little tired. After listening to Jia Sidao's words, he nodded and took out the jade pendant tied around his waist. He said, "Jia Aiqing, if you take this jade pendant, you can get out of the gate of the Imperial Palace directly, so that they can cross examine you again."

"Your Majesty, you are very considerate. Thank you very much." Jia Sidao knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor LiZong, saying.

After that, he turned around and left Qingya building.

When he came out of the palace, several servants who came with Jia Sidao had already fallen asleep at the gate of the city.

It wasn't until Jia Sidao kicked them that they woke up from their dreams.

These people immediately a Gulu from the ground afraid just come, way: "phase ye, you out of the palace."

"It's nonsense. You slaves can stand here and see the truth without going out of the palace?" Jia Sidao asked.

This servant, with a smile, served Jia Sidao on his own mount and ran to his prime minister.

Jia Sidao, riding on his horse, was very happy to think of the smooth handling of this evening's affairs. He raised his head and hummed a tune.

It's very late now, and there is no one on the street. Occasionally, there is a watchman on duty.

All the people Jia Sidao brought were behind him except one who was leading the horse in front of him.

It's so late, these servants haven't got to sleep. Naturally, they are very tired. They are all listless. They are walking forward with their heads down.

At this time, three long arrows were shot from the darkness with a few "swish".

Today, after catching the bug, Jia Sidao was very happy. When he went to the palace, he didn't think much about it. He just took these personal followers with him, and didn't bring bodyguards to protect his safety.

The three long arrows came suddenly and very fast. It was too late for several of his servants to react and try to save Jia Sidao.

Just listen to Jia Sidao's "ouch" and shout: "it hurts me so much.

He fell off the horse.

The servants who followed him were so shocked that they didn't care to see where the three long arrows came from. They all immediately knocked down Jia Sidao and asked aloud, "how are you, Xiangye .? "

the man who led the horse just now quickly picked up Jia Sidao and ran to Xiangye.

Fortunately, this place is not far away from Jia Sidao's residence. Hearing this man's cry, people at the door of the residence were all shocked and ran over.

Seeing Jia Siye, the officials were very anxious to report.

The rest of the people do a good job of vigilance, around the horse driver who carries Jia Sidao on his back, to prevent someone from plotting against Jia Sidao again.

After the leader carried Jia Sidao into the mansion, he immediately put him on the soft couch of the mansion.

Just when the doctor in the mansion wanted to diagnose him, Jia Sidao suddenly jumped up from the soft couch.

The people in the mansion were shocked. The doctor said in a hurry: "Mr. Xiang, you are injured by an arrow. Don't move at will. Otherwise, it's not conducive to the treatment of the wound."

"Ha ha, do you have any injuries on the prime minister?" Jia Sidao asked.

Just now everyone heard that Jia Sidao was injured. Everyone was very frightened and didn't check it carefully. After hearing this, the doctor found that there was no blood escaping from the place where Jia Sidao's clothes were shot. He looked carefully and found that the bow and arrow only shot through Jia Sidao's clothes, but it didn't shoot inside and hurt Jia Sidao.

The doctor quickly bowed his body and said, "the prime minister is really lucky and has a big life. There is nothing wrong with him."Jia Sidao after hearing this, proud smile, let to take refuge in their own mysterious people to stay, other people are back.

This mysterious man is the one who came to Jia Sidao's residence recently and defeated all the experts who were collected in his residence.

After everyone left, the mysterious man closed the door of the room and asked, "prime minister, do you have soft armor in your clothes?"

Jia Sidao laughed and took off his clothes. Sure enough, there was a soft armor inside. He said, "fortunately, I wore it when I went out today. Otherwise, I'm afraid my life will be hard to protect."

"Mr. Xiang, you are so lucky. How can those schemers hurt you?" The mysterious man bowed.

The mysterious man picked up the three long arrows from the table, looked at them carefully and said: "Mr. Xiang, these are three poisonous arrows!"

"It seems that the archer wants to cure the root cause of his death with an arrow. Even if he doesn't hit the key, the poison on the bow and arrow can make him die." Jia Sidao analyzed.

The mysterious man nodded, and then Jia Sidao said, "you are right, Mr. Xiang. This assassin is really malicious."

After a careful look at the three long arrows, he said: "the people who use this arrow should not be ordinary people. It's very likely that they are experts in the Jianghu."

"Really, I haven't offended any people in the Jianghu recently!" Jia Sidao said.

Mysterious humanity: "those who use bow and arrow should be killers in the river and lake."

"Yes, as long as someone pays them to kill someone, they will kill someone." Jia Sidao said.

Jia Sidao then asked, "can we find some clues from this bow and arrow?"

"It's quite difficult. There's no sign on the bow and arrow. However, some famous killers sometimes don't use their famous weapons in order to prevent others from following their weapons to find themselves. "The mysterious man said.

Jia Sidao asked: "so this matter has become a headless case?"

mysterious humanity: "since the killer did not succeed, it is difficult for him to assassinate in a short time. After all, you are the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. In fact, we can find it from the source in a different way."

"You mean ... asked Jia.

The mysterious man asked, "the recent court situation is very clear. Who is the person who most wants you to have an accident now?"

"well, it's hard to say." Jia Sidao replied.

The mysterious man asked: "the prime minister is a fan of the situation. From the time the mission was assassinated in the pavilion 20 miles away from Lin'an to today's day when you were assassinated in the street, is there no connection between them?"

"You mean "Asked Jia Sidao.

Mysterious humanity: "the Mongolian mission came to our song dynasty to discuss peace, and you strongly advocate peace. In a sense, prime minister, you are tied up with the Mongolian mission now. If they can make it worthwhile, then the prime minister will naturally do well. On the contrary, if they return empty handed, then the prime minister will lose face in the court. “
