Chapter 701 Betting
Yang You's skill is really impressive, in a short while, no one can beat him in several fights in the dirt field, but he was beaten by swords and books with extremely fierce battle formation, killing three and seriously injuring two.
Among them is a well-known martial artist who fights against the emperor on the Double Ninth Festival. He is proficient in swords and cards all the way, and his nickname is "Saiguansuo". Hastily stepped forward and stabbed his head, chopping his face into two pieces on the left and right.
At this time, the gamblers around the dirt field ignored Jia Sidao and asked where the knife-wielding man came from, and who was behind it.At the same time, there are aristocratic teenagers who rely on their families to support them well, and wealthy businessmen who are reluctant to pay for their own profits, shouting that they will let their families support them to end the game.
Those good fighters are naturally famous in various places in Lin'an City, but in the end, what they are best at are sumo, kick boxing, fighting sticks, and dancing knives. Lin'an City The people in the village see it every day, and it is also this kind of fancy.
Even if they fought with each other like Yang Feixiang and Li Xunhuan just now, fighting each other with anger and even killing them... After all, this is different from the fierceness of life and death in the battle, they don't have the kind of tenacious nerves to face the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood as if nothing happened!
So no matter how loudly the masters kept shouting, no one dared to end for a while.
Seeing the embarrassing situation, fortunately the inquirers have reported back one after another. After hearing the news, everyone in the field rushed to look for a location next to the soil field.
According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, the seats around the tiles are not just for random sitting, but are related to the status level of the owner.The farther away from the soil field, the higher the seat position, the lower the actual status.In the circle closest to the soil field, the "Qinglongtou" near the left door of the earth field and the "White Tiger Head" near the right door of the field are used for nobles with extremely high status.
The audience didn't pay attention when they were excited, but now everyone's eyes are focused on it, only to find that the white tiger head is empty today, and there are two more people in the position of the blue dragon head.
One of them was a young man in his twenties, with a sickly complexion and not luxurious clothes.But when everyone saw his appearance, they stood up and saluted almost instantly, some called "Brother Shi" and some called "Da Lang".
"Who is this? Is the limelight stronger than mine?" Jia Sidao asked.
Although Han Xi also stood up, he was not polite. The young man looked at the direction of Qinglongtou with a strange expression.
He chuckled twice before answering: "This man is Shi Kuanzhi, the eldest son of Shi Xiang. The old man who is with him is Xuan Zang who has just moved to be a meritorious examiner. He is raised by Shi Xiang's family. It's normal for a good player to win as many games in a row. I just don't know how much benefit the other companies have to share from the salt industry in order to satisfy Prime Minister Shi."
Shi Kuanzhi was the eldest son of Shi Miyuan, but he was weak since he was a child and could not study and become an official. Therefore, his future in the officialdom was very limited, and he took care of the prime minister's family affairs on a daily basis.However, Shi Xiang's power is so great that everyone present not only did not dare to despise him, but had to respect him even more.
Han Xi is also the prime minister's son, but it's a pity that the decapitated prime minister is worthless.Had it not been for the recent rapid decline of Dajin, which forced Prime Minister Shi to take precautions, Han Xi might not even be qualified to return to Lin'an, and would still suffer in the south of Wuling.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Shi Kuanzhi being enshrined like a moon by the stars, and felt really uncomfortable.After barely explaining, he said again: "Brother Xian, if you win these few games, you can earn two or three hundred guan. It's almost there, let's go! Give me some of your two or three hundred guan Flowers, okay? I only need two dollars..."
After saying this, Jia Sidao did not respond.
Looking sideways, I saw Jia Sidao's two feet.
It turned out that when Jia Sidao heard the identity of the visitor, he immediately stepped on the case table with his robes.He tried his best to look in that direction, and clicked his tongue: "Oh! Oh! So this is Shi Xiang's son!"
How is this tone...
When Han Ximeng raised his head, he felt that Jia Sidao seemed to be a different person.
He couldn't see the attitude of a tired and lazy boy all over his body, and his face was full of flattering light.
After saluting with the others, he waved again and again, gesturing in that direction, and said: "My father said, Shi relative to our Tiantai Jia family has the grace of rebuilding, every time I see Shi Xiang and the people around Shi Xiang , must have a hundred thousand respect! One hundred thousand respect! One hundred thousand loyalty! I have to listen to my father!"
Good guy, remember listening to your father now?
When your father asked you to come to An'an, he must have told you to study and learn literature, and he never told you to spend time and drink... Did you listen to it back then?
What's more, such blatant flattering words, can a scholar directly say it?
When Han Xi was exiled in Lingnan, he missed the good time to study, so he didn't regard himself as a scholar and was bound by those constraints.Even so, seeing Jia Sidao suddenly put on such a face, he was also momentarily stunned.
The scary thing is that this Jia Sidao is not just talking, he also jumped up happily and ran over, shouting as he ran: "Mr. Shijia! See you on the rooftop, Jia Sidao!"
Han Xi suddenly had a very bad premonition, he quickly covered his eyes, it was already too late.Jia Sidao slipped through the cracks of people, went straight to Shi Kuanzhi, then knelt down with a puff, and made a great salute.
Generally speaking, Song people do not bow down much except for certain occasions.In general daily communication, people with lower status sing "Nah", with hands folded on chest, body bent and head bowed.Even if subordinates are to superiors, slaves are to masters, prisoners are to officials.
But Jia Sidao knelt down and kowtowed solemnly, his forehead hit the ground, and there was a "dong dong" sound!
Shi Kuanzhi was taken aback, and asked sharply, "Who are you?"
"I'm Jia Sidao? Jia Sidao on the rooftop!"
Jia Sidao raised his head with a smile on his face, as if he was about to pounce on Shi Kuanzhi immediately, hugged Shi Kuanzhi and licked him.
The question is, who the hell is Jia Sidao?I, Shi Kuanzhi, is the son of the prime minister, and my daily contacts are full of nobles. I have never heard of a man named Jia Sidao!I have never heard of any big clans on the rooftop!
Shi Kuanzhi came here today for a serious business.
The Right Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, Shi Miyuan, has always been the leader of the faction in the court that advocates peace and harmony. Since the first year of Jiading, he has always adhered to a foreign policy of submission to the North Kingdom.The number of coins that the Jin army wanted for many years, the Song Dynasty also said that it could increase; For all kinds of affairs, such as returning to the court and migrating people, history has always been more cautious than Dajin's, and there has never been any difficulty.
Such a policy has indeed maintained the peace between Song and Jin for many years.But in recent years, the Dajin Kingdom has been too disappointing. Even though Shi Xiang was in the south of the Yangtze River, he heard the news of the Jin army's defeat by the Qiangtar every now and then. Since this year, the Dajin Kingdom has simply been divided into two, half of which , It's still a Haner who is in power.
As a result, the voices of the imperial court who were aggressively fighting, or those who intended to do things for the north, gradually could not be suppressed.Even Qiao Xingjian, an important political ally of Shi Miyuan, openly stated that if the Tartars are strong in the north, the gold will cover us.
With the unpredictable situation and the turmoil in the court, it was difficult for Shi Miyuan to guarantee that his family's prudent policy would be correct. Therefore, he had to make a small bet on the side of the aggressive main battle.
This is a complex and delicate operation.
If it is too obvious, or if someone with a high status under one's own wings is used, it is easy for outsiders to mistakenly believe that the historical minister is about to change course, and the turmoil in the camp caused by this is no small matter.
If it is not obvious enough, or if the people selected are not closely related to their own camp, these people will easily act on their own, taking the political capital bestowed by history to earn their own future.What's more troublesome is that since these people want to take the lead in the battle, they must have considerable force, which will inevitably arouse Shi Xiang's fear.
For example, Li Jue and Ying Chunzhi, who are currently in Huaidong and hold important positions, are in such a situation.Relying on their own power and position, they really sent people to the north to make trouble and provoke that Guo Ning!A few days ago, the Shandong Jin Army threatened to go south for revenge. When Shi Miyuan heard the news, his heart almost burst with fright.
He was sure on the spot that Li Jue and Ying Chunzhi could never be trusted.
But who can be trusted?
These days, Shi Miyuan has spent a lot of time thinking about it.
It wasn't until these few days that he finally decided to use the interests of selling smuggled salt to the north as a banner, let his eldest son Shi Kuanzhi, who had never been an official, come forward, and then use Yang You, the fierce general who went south to seek refuge with the Red Coat Army, as his lackey. , Gradually reach out to Lianghuai, control a force that can fight at any time, but is firmly under Shi Miyuan's own control.
Today, when Shi Kuanzhi came to Wazi, where the noble children of the court gathered, he deliberately let Yang You show his face, and then justifiably intervened in the salt administration, as the beginning of the whole plan.
Shi Kuanzhi thought of this, and turned his head to look ahead.
This guy Yang You didn't brag in front of his father, he was really powerful against a hundred men, he was able to suppress disobedience by force.Starting with Yang You's killing and establishing his prestige, I, Shi Kuanzhi, can also spread some words on the sidelines, so that everyone present can bring them to their elders or backers.
However, who is this guy who suddenly rushes up to flatter and flatter him?
As soon as he came and went like this, it was like when Qiao Wanjuan was giving a serious history lecture in the Sitong Pavilion, the man Zhang Silang suddenly jumped out next to him, not to mention that the atmosphere was no longer suitable, and the audience's minds were scattered !
