Chapter 198: Smashing the Pot (20)
"It's an assassin you sent!"
The young man's angry question sounded in the living room, but Xie Song just listened but didn't answer.
"You cats cry rats to remind me, and then send someone to kill me, you can do it seamlessly!"
Xie Song nodded slightly, feeling that his emotions had found suitable words. Without waiting for Hao Kang to continue to be furious, Xie Song sneered, "Haha, Hao Kang, you take yourself too seriously." What kind of thing are you, and you are worthy of our Great Song to use assassins? Haha, what a laugh out of the big teeth! ”
It's been a long time since anyone has had a nerve-stimulating conversation with Hao Kang in fluent hometown dialect, and Hao Kang's excited nerves have actually returned to some normal emotions under such stimulation. Being ridiculed by Xie Song for such a while, Hao Kang only felt that his body was difficult to support, and reached out to support the chair next to him, and finally stood up straight.
Xie Song continued: "The Great Song Dynasty has killed so many Mongols, when have assassins ever been used. You went to school in the Great Song Dynasty, if I want to kill you, I will order soldiers and horses to kill you directly. After the killing, I will announce the reason for killing you in a big and open manner. With the Assassins! I haven't lost face like this yet! ”
After Hao Kang listened, his mood recovered a little. This made Hao Kang himself feel very surprised, the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be the enemy of Mongolia, but what the Song officials on the other side said can make Hao Kang believe it unconditionally. But this is indeed a fact, the Great Song Dynasty never used assassination to kill the Mongols, just as the Mongols slaughtered the people in the occupied areas and never killed them cleanly. There is no need for any concealment on either side.
It was just that being ridiculed like this, Hao Kang felt that he couldn't hold his face, and he asked, "Why did you first send someone to tell me that there were assassins who wanted to deal with me, and then there were assassins pretending to be Eastern Roman envoys to warn me?" ”
Speaking of the assassination not long ago, Hao Kang's heart couldn't help but begin to throb strongly. It was not a feeling that could be described in words, remembering the assassination, Hao Kang's body began to react strongly. Life and death were at that moment, when the Assassin instantly assassinated one of Hao Kang's guards, and with two more moves, Neg killed another Assassin who was blocking the Assassin. Hao Kang's body moved earlier than his brain, and he punched the assassin in the face. Pick up an iron paperweight and confront the Assassins. Hearing the commotion, the other guards rushed to help. The Assassin jumped out of the window and fled. Although it was theorized that a large number of Eastern Roman soldiers were 'protecting' Hao Kang, it allowed the Assassins to escape easily.
Eastern Rome was a complete stranger to Hao Kang, and he had not heard of any life-and-death struggle between the two countries. Hao Kang felt that it must be Da Song who had a reason to do it. Thinking of this, he was furious, and after being under house arrest for so long, Hao Kang was furious. They broke out of the protection of the Eastern Roman army and broke into the office of the province of Europa.
After a few conversations, Hao Kang believed Xie Song and firmly believed that Xie Song sent someone to assassinate him.
Xie Song didn't bother to take care of Hao Kang. He has his own anger towards the assassin, and the assassination of Hao Kang can never be the wrong person, which shows that there is a big man behind him playing a big game. Whether Hao Kang dies or not is insignificant to Xie Song, but someone makes Hao Kang without saying hello, making it clear that he doesn't take Europa Province in his eyes. Who the hell is so bold? Xie Song was puzzled.
After thinking for a while, Xie Song still decided to deal with the matter in front of him first. He said to Hao Kang: "We will send you on the boat and leave now, don't go back to the so-called residence." You go first, even if there are people who stay in the accommodation, I will arrange for them to go later. ”
Hao Kang was furious in his heart, and he almost blurted out a sentence of 'Are you going to arrange an assassination again?' When the words came to his lips, he couldn't say it, Hao Kang himself actually understood that Xie Song really didn't need to use assassins to kill the people of the Yuan Kingdom. Because the Yuan State had no trust in the Great Song Dynasty, even if the organs were exhausted, so many people in the Yuan Kingdom who ran to Kiev thousands of miles away in order to escape the Great Song Dynasty would not believe in the Great Song Dynasty because of this, let alone be grateful to the Great Song Dynasty.
Suppressing his excitement, Hao Kang asked, "Aren't you worried about the reproach of the Eastern Roman Emperor?" ”
"Humph!" Xie Song sneered and didn't even answer.
Hao Kang understood Xie Song's attitude, said 'farewell' and turned around and left.
The provincial office of Europa was in the Golden Horn, and someone immediately escorted Hao Kang and his party to the side of the Yuan fleet, and Hao Kang felt a little safer after getting on the boat. When the crew saw Hao Kang coming back, they immediately surrounded him and wanted to talk. Hao Kang shouted: "Don't say anything at this time, set sail immediately." ”
When can leave is the most concerned thing for the personnel of the Yuan State fleet, hearing Hao Kang say this, everyone applauded. Immediately began to prepare for the voyage under the command of the steward. It's just that the fleet has been moored for so long, and a lot of things have not been prepared. The crowd was busy until the next morning, when they pulled anchor and set sail.
Hao Kang didn't sleep all night, and when the boat started, he only felt that his feet were soft, and he hurriedly held on to the railing to stand firmly. The official ships of the Eastern Roman Empire next to them were responsible for monitoring the Yuan fleet, but they did not step forward to stop them at this time. Watching the Yuan fleet sail out of the Golden Horn and head north along the Bosburs.
The people next to him persuaded Hao Kang to return to the cabin to rest, but Hao Kang refused. Hao Kang stayed on deck until the ship left the Bosbrus Strait and entered the waters of the Black Sea. He was helped by the guards into the cabin. Rushing to bed, Hao Kang fell asleep instantly. Even in his deep sleep, he couldn't fully protect Hao Kang, and he also had nightmares in deep dreams.
Hao Kang left, and Xie Song was not idle. He summoned Altai, who had provided the information, and asked Altai if he knew who the mastermind was. Altai said that it was told to him by someone else, and that he was exchanging something with Altai. Szeon asked who told Altai, but he was told 'no comment'.
Although he was angry, Xie Song did not have a seizure. The enemy was not Altai, and with Xie Song's knowledge of Altai, if Altai was in charge of the assassination, Hao Kang would not have survived. The Assassins, while very skilled, were not the best Assassins. According to the rules of Zhao Guan's family, everyone naturally had to hold a meeting to discuss. Xie Song didn't care much about the meeting, but he didn't expect a young newcomer cadre to say: "I think it's better to check this matter from those Eastern Roman guards." The assassin failed to kill Hao Kang, indicating that his skills were very average. If such a person can escape from house arrest, someone will definitely arrange it later. What do you think? ”
"Hmmm! You can say that again! Xie Song praised. With a reliable direction, Xie Song immediately mobilized his men to investigate the matter of the Eastern Roman guards. The guards were members of the Eastern Roman legions, so they were not easy to investigate. The first few days were uneventful. Xie Song was not unhappy, he thought that this verified his own opinion, and it was not a small person who instructed this matter. Where can the average person have such an active ability? Sesson even suspected that Barcellus of Eastern Rome was not without suspicion.
The days that followed continued to be peaceful, and Barcellus of Eastern Rome never mentioned it. Xie Song felt that this guy's suspicion might be cleared up, and if it was the Eastern Roman Emperor's move, he would naturally work hard to achieve his goal. Patience is not like what the Eastern Roman emperor can achieve now.
Li Nature, an official of the society, hurriedly walked in, "Director Xie, the latest news." Mongolia transferred all the flag troops arranged in Damascus and Jerusalem. ”
Hearing the news, Xie Song himself put Hao Kang's matter aside. The son of the lord of the Yuan State was not a big deal for the Eastern Roman Empire, and it was not a big deal for Xie Song. At present, the most important thing is the war between the Mongol court and the Tianzhu slave dynasty. He asked: "Is there any war intelligence?" ”
"Nope. Mongolia's news transmission, when we know the news, will be late in the morning. Li naturally sighed.
Xie Song's heart moved, and he asked, "Senior Li, I want to ask you something." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Now the officials in the court see the problem like you."
This question had nothing to do with the Mongol war, and Li naturally asked in surprise: "Why do you ask that?" ”
Xie Song did not hide it, he said frankly: "I will return to China in two years, and at my age, I still want to be an official in the court for a few more days." Listening to what Senior Li said is actually very different. You'll be able to capture the point of view of intelligence transmission, rather than guessing about the war itself. And it's not about it, I think you grasp everything in front of you so much. Not ordinary. ”
"Huh." Li naturally laughed dryly twice and did not speak for the time being. Many people think that the province of Europa is located in a place outside the country, and the so-called thousand-year-old Roman country just sounds good, but in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty, it just does not belong to the ranks of barbarians. The highest official of the province of Europa also made such an official title that is easy to make people have bad associations, and it is easy to leave a bad impression on people.
But the ministry doesn't see it that way, and it is clear in the training before departure. It is precisely because he is overseas that he is not timid to challenge the officials here. The situation surrounded by strong enemies outside has made these officials more united and more subjective. Just like in the last meeting, there were young cadres who were able to accurately grasp the main points. As for Xie Songmo, he could see the difference between the members of the society, and he was already very discerning. As for his performance on weekdays, Xie Song is also a talent.
Seeing that Li naturally didn't speak, Xie Song asked calmly, "What's the matter, is there anything bad to say?" ”
Li naturally could only reply: "It's not hard to say." One of the basic conditions for the society to select talents is to seek truth from facts. I'm not saying that there is no talent in those who talk about it, but many talented people talk about it when they are young. Are you arrogant? The regulations of the society are very clear, and the conditions for recruiting people are also explained. After joining the company, it is necessary to intensify study, for example, to consider the situation, and to connect it with new concepts and theories. I actually said this casually, but I practiced too much and didn't think about it. ”
Xie Song listened to Li Nature's words easily, and he was a little nervous in his heart. The chief of the Great Song Society is the Zhao official family, and everyone in the officialdom knows it. The official management society is very strict, and the members of the society are easier to be reused than officials and cadres at the same level. An official like Xie Song, who was not from the society, would naturally think that the society was a 'fortunate way to advance', but he didn't expect that the society had real things. In the past two or three years, Xie Song also felt that he had understood the integration of theory with practice, and that careful study felt that it would be of great benefit to him. But he didn't expect that what he regarded as his secret art turned out to be a well-known requirement in the academy. Thinking back to Li Nature's performance, Xie Song felt a little discouraged, if he had known, he would have found a way to join the society. If someone had taught him earlier, Xie Song would have understood 'linking theory with practice' a few years earlier, instead of taking so many unjust roads in vain.
But after being discouraged for a while, Xie Song was a little unconvinced, so he asked Li Natural Society how to talk about 'linking theory with practice'. The two chatted for two hours, and after the conversation was over, Xie Song returned to his residence exhausted and dejected. In his heart, he was glad that he had really grown, and if it was before, he would not have bowed his head so easily to ask others for advice.
Seeing Li Tiantian the next morning, Xie Song said from the bottom of his heart: "Senior Li, I also want to join the society. But I don't know if the school must return to China after recruiting people? ”
Li was naturally happy in his heart, the status of the seniors of the school in the Great Song Dynasty and the government was no worse than that of the chief officials at all levels, and many times it was who was more capable and who had the leading power in the department. In the past, the imperial court did not send the academy to Europa Province, and no one was willing to come, and everyone did not have to come to Europa Province to have a good prospect of promotion, and no one was willing to go to a wild place thousands of miles away. Second, the imperial court also believed that the founding period of Europa Province needed to rely on the personal qualifications and appeal of the chief official, and it was easy to cause contradictions if the academy was dispatched. Now that the province of Europa is stable and the regular rotation of officials is on the right track, the school was sent here to carry out construction. If Xie Song can take the initiative to move closer to the society, it will be a great thing.
Happy is happy, and there is no shortage of things to say. Li Tianzheng said: "Director Xie, many people think that joining the society is a blessing. Joining the Society will naturally be seen differently, and I don't deny that. However, from the beginning of the establishment of the society, the officials made it clear that if they wanted to join the society, they should take the interests of the Chinese people as the highest ideal, not make money for themselves after joining the society. Moreover, after joining the society, the first thing you have to do is to disclose your assets and your income. Would you like to? ”
Xie Song was stunned for a moment, announcing the property? Just listening to it gave him goosebumps. Although his own money is not from an unknown source, it is not completely in front of everyone. More importantly, why do you have to report your wealth and income to the society, this is to give people authority.
Seeing the change in Xie Song's expression, Li naturally smiled slightly. He had gone through this stage himself, so he could understand Xie Song's feelings. Li naturally came from an average background, but he didn't have a big fish like Xie Song. That's it, he has also experienced a lot of torture in his heart. Therefore, among the people who join the society, the more money they have, the easier it is to pass this psychological threshold. After this minimum test of loyalty, it is natural to be recognized and protected by the society. Just like Sheng Kang, the superintendent who is regarded as a cool official in the school, said a very interesting sentence, 'Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal'.
Thinking of this, Li naturally said: "Director Xie doesn't need to worry, I think Director Xie is a very realistic person, and if he meets this article, he belongs to comrades who can strive for progress." The society was not closed to the outside world, and it set up a small gang on its own. We also run courses. ”
"Is it possible to link theory with practice?" Xie Song was very interested. If you don't join the club, you can learn the core courses of the club, wouldn't it be beautiful.
"These will be talked about as well." Li naturally smiled.
Xie Song said categorically: "I must go to the class!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside. It was the Chief of the Intelligence Section who came in. He sent a telegram and whispered, "Director Xie, there's a message from Athens. The Mongols lost two banners of their army in the Ilkhanate. ”
