"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Song Kingdom asks to see you."

"Xuan!"

In the winter of last year, when Wanyan Kang came to Kaifeng in person, the Song State sent 100,000 troops to the north at the invitation of Wanyan Hongyan to occupy Tangzhou, Dengzhou, and Caizhou, trying to take advantage of the disputes between the north and south of the Jin State to do the fisherman's thing.

After the city of Kaifeng was broken, Wu Shiman guarded Kaifeng, and Wu Feixiong led an army of 30,000 to the south.

The 100,000 army of the Song State was completely vulnerable in front of Wan Yankang's elite soldiers.

It was also thanks to the Kaifeng massacre that Wu Feixiong was much weaker in killing, and after breaking through the Song and Jin Dynasty to recover the lost territory, he only led his troops to chase and kill for fifty miles, and when he arrived at the junction of Song and Jin, he raised his troops and turned back.

Even so, the 100,000 elite troops sent by the Song State were able to escape back to the Song realm, but in the end, there were no more than 10,000.

For a time, the government and the opposition of the Song State were shocked, and the original main battle faction, Han Yanxuan and others, did not dare to say a word again, and the main peace faction occupied the absolute upper hand and quickly sent a special envoy to the north to negotiate peace. Because Wan Yankang was in Shaolin Temple at the time, Wu Shiman asked the envoy of the Song State to wait in Kaifeng Mansion.

I waited for nearly three months!

"Shi Miyuan, the envoy of the lower country, see His Majesty the Holy Emperor of the Upper Kingdom, I wish Your Majesty eternal happiness and longevity!" When the envoys of the Song Kingdom were introduced into the palace, they immediately fell to their knees, and their words were extremely flattering.

"Oh, you're Shi Miyuan?" The Jin dynasty had abolished the kneeling system, and the envoys of the Song State wanted to kneel, and Wan Yankang did not stop it. He heard this person report his name, and suddenly felt a little familiar, and after a little search in his mind, he remembered who this person was.

After the establishment of Linghu, although it was mainly to monitor the internal affairs of the Jin Kingdom, it also allowed Xu Daosheng to send people south early to regularly report important news of the Song State and collect various information about important people in the Song Kingdom. The information of the ministers of the Song Kingdom transmitted by Linghu has a copy of Shi Miyuan.

In the original time and space, Shi Miyuan was regarded as a powerful minister and traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty, if Qin Hui had not been scolded by the Chinese people for thousands of years because of Yue Fei's affairs, Qin Hui was far inferior to Shi Miyuan in disaster to the country and the people.

If history develops according to the original trajectory, Shi Miyuan should have sat on the position of the right prime minister at this moment, and he is already above 10,000 people under one person.

At this moment, Shi Miyuan was only serving as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, an official residence of the third grade, and was sent to the north to ask for peace.

Shi Miyuan heard Yan Kang's question, raised his head and took a look, only to see that Yan Kang's eyes were like electricity, he trembled in his heart when he saw it, and hurriedly lowered his head, and replied respectfully: "It's the minister." ”

"Get up and speak."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shi Miyuan cautiously got up, looked at Wan Yankang on the dragon chair, and then lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at Wan Yankang again.

"Zhao Kuo asked you to come to my Dajin, but when to discuss when to surrender?"

Wan Yankang suddenly threw out such a sentence, which made Shi Miyuan's mind foggy, and after a while, he came back to his senses: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, your subordinates have been ordered to come to negotiate peace. ”

When Shi Miyuan spoke, he seemed to have no confidence, especially when he saw Yan Kang's face clearly, there was an uproar in his heart.

Zhao Kuo, the current emperor of the Song Kingdom, was only twenty-five or sixteen years old when he ascended the throne, and he was already a very young monarch. Zhao Kuo is only in his early forties now, because he is pampered, and his appearance is still handsome and majestic.

But Zhao Kuo compared with the Dajin Emperor in the palace, one in the sky and the other on the ground.

Wan Yankang had a fair face, dressed in an ordinary black robe, and did not wear a crown on his head, if he hadn't sat on the dragon chair, Shi Miyuan would never have imagined that this person was the Dajin Emperor.

But after looking at it twice, Shi Miyuan found that although the emperor of the Jin Kingdom was only past the age of a weak crown, his face had infinite power, and his eyes were even more breathtaking.

Shi Miyuan was taken by Wan Yankang's gaze, and then lowered his head again, not daring to make eye contact with him again, and only repeated in a low voice: "The subordinate is ordered to come to negotiate peace." ”

"Your Song Kingdom fought without declaring it, and its means were extremely despicable, and now you can't fight it, so you want to negotiate peace, how can there be such a good thing in the world!" Tian Dali, who was on the side, stood in front of Shi Miyuan, clenched his fists, and shouted angrily.

After Yan Kang temporarily lived in Kaifeng, Tian Dali temporarily took the position of commander of the internal guard, and before Shi Miyuan came, Wan Yan Kang specially greeted him and asked him to stand up at the opportunity to play a blackface role.

If Wan Yankang on the dragon chair brought majesty, the fierce and vicious Tian Dali almost scared Shi Miyuan into peeing his pants on the spot. His legs kept shaking, and he could barely stand on his feet, and only after a while did he tremble and say, "General, there is something to say, something to say." ”

Wan Yankang saw that the effect of intimidation had been achieved, if he came for a while, he was afraid that Shi Miyuan would really be on the spot, so he said in order to avoid contamination of the palace: "Vigorously, retreat." ”

When Tian Dali heard this, he immediately turned around and bowed, and obediently retreated to the side.

Shi Miyuan took a few quick breaths, and scolded himself in his heart. This time, he came to envoy Dajin because he took the initiative to ask for help, trying to make a great contribution and go further in the DPRK and China.

Who knew that as soon as he arrived in Kaifeng, he waited for three months in a daze, and finally saw the main master, who knew that the people of the north were so terrifying!

After a while, Shi Miyuan calmed down slightly, and he didn't dare to raise his head, but only arched his hand upward: "The matter of the last year, it was actually the lower country that was deceived by the traitors, and there were even more small people in the country who made trouble, so there was such a misunderstanding, and I hope Your Majesty will see it." ”

"Really?"

"It's true, the ministers swear to the heavens......"

"The traitor has been ambushed, needless to say, I don't know who the little man in your country is?" Wan Yankang asked lazily.

Shi Miyuan had already prepared for this, and hurriedly said: "The little people in the country, led by the palace marshal Guo Ni and Zhenjiang Commander Chen Xiaoqing, these two have been sent to the prison and are waiting for Your Majesty to fall. ”

The palace marshal Guo Ni and Zhenjiang commander Chen Xiaoqing were the two main generals who led the troops north a few months ago, after the defeat of these two people, they finally escaped with their lives, but they were taken down after returning to China, ready to be used as a scapegoat, and were offered to the Jin State at any time.

Wan Yankang smiled: "These two people have a few official residences, and An dares to lead the troops to commit me without authorization!" ”

Shi Miyuan listened to Yan Kang's laughter, but there was no smile in his words, and he didn't know what to do for a while, he thought about it for a while, and then replied: "What does Your Majesty command, the subordinates can respond, they can respond, if not, the subordinates will return to China and report back." ”

Wan Yankang didn't have the heart to waste his tongue with Shi Miyuan, he patted the armrest of the dragon chair: "Send Han Yanxuan's head here, it's enough." ”

"The Taishi is the pillar of the country, and the subordinates dare not be specialized." Shi Miyuan replied in a low voice, but an unknown smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although Shi Miyuan was brought up by Han Yanxuan, it has been difficult for him to improve his official position in recent years, so he volunteered to go north to negotiate peace. If Han Yanxuan is removed, Shi Miyuan will be able to occupy a high position immediately by virtue of the merit of peace, and if he pleases the emperor, he will not be able to promote two grades in a row, standing under that one person, above ten thousand people to see the scenery.

As the prime minister and master of the Song State, Han Yanxuan was also the backbone of the main battle faction of the Song State. Four years ago, Han Yanxuan launched a Northern Expedition, but because of Wanyan Gang's anti-Song famous general Wu Xi, his Northern Expedition was in vain, and the soldiers were even more defeated. If it weren't for the civil strife that broke out in Dajin soon after, Wan Yangang took the initiative to negotiate peace with Song Guo in order to stabilize the rear, and Han Yanxuan's grave was afraid that it would have already been overgrown with grass.

And this time, when the Song army went north, it was still Han Yanxuan's strong leader, who knew that this battle was even more miserably. If it is said that the last time it was only a loss of troops, this time it can be regarded as the annihilation of the whole army.

Even if Yan Kang doesn't want Han Yanxuan's head, I'm afraid that this person's position will not be stable.

"It's okay, you go back and tell Zhao Kuo. Also, since Zhao Kuo wants to negotiate peace, how much money can he pay me a lot of money? Wan Yankang knew that Emperor Song would no longer protect Han Yanxuan, so he didn't need to put any more pressure on this matter.

"The lower kingdom is willing to raise the annual tribute to 300,000 taels."

"Three hundred thousand taels ......," Wan Yankang snorted coldly.

"I hope Your Majesty will make it clear!" Shi Miyuan listened to this cold snort, knowing that Yan Kang was dissatisfied, and hurriedly asked for instructions respectfully.

"The annual tribute is 500,000 taels, this time I have lost a lot of money and food, the depreciated soldiers' pensions, and the mental loss expenses, just make up the whole amount of compensation."

Shi Miyuan didn't know about Jing

What is the god loss fee, but after hearing it, Yan Kang just asked for money, and it was always easy to do it, so he said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what this whole number is?" ”

"Five million taels."

When Shi Miyuan heard this, he opened his mouth wide, and he couldn't close it for a long time. After a while, he said timidly: "Your Majesty, this number, this number is really ......."

"You tell Zhao Kuo, if he doesn't give it, I'll take it myself!" Wan Yankang didn't give Shi Miyuan a chance to bargain, stood up, and walked to the apse.

As soon as he walked out of the main hall, after Yan Kang thought of something, he turned his head again and said to Shi Miyuan: "Master Shi, I will give you a list tomorrow, and remember to send the people on the list when I return to China." ”

Shi Miyuan was still immersed in the shock just now, and only then did he wake up, and after kneeling to see Yan Kang leave, he muttered: "Five million taels, five million taels......"

The annual financial income of the Song State is only more than 10,000 taels, if the annual tribute is increased to 500,000 taels, with the financial resources of the Song State, it can still be swallowed, and the one-time compensation of 5 million taels is only afraid of ......

Thinking of this, Shi Miyuan's heart trembled.

……

"Do you want to see Xiaoman?" After Yan Kang, he returned to the harem and found Lin Feifeng.

"Ahh Xiaoman is here? Where is it? Where is it? Lin Feifeng became excited.

"Silly girl, if Xiaoman comes, I won't bring it to see you as soon as possible." Wan Yankang smiled and scratched Lin Feifeng's nose.

"What does that mean?" Lin Feifeng snorted.

"Make a list, I will ask the envoy of the Song State to return to Lin'an, and ask Zhao Kuo for it!"

Lin Feifeng suddenly came back to her senses, it turned out that her husband had discussed national affairs, and she hadn't forgotten herself, and her eyes were filled with a hint of mist: "Kang Lang, thank you very much." ”

Wan Yankang patted her on the buttocks: "Thank me, you have to come up with something." ”

Lin Feifeng glanced at Yan Kang, ran away, found a pen and paper, and began to write the list.

At first, she thought that she could send Xiaoman and a few other relatives with her. Later, after thinking about it, I felt that there were many backbones in the gang, and if I also sent them to the Northland, it would be of some help to myself. Thinking about it carefully, she felt that there were seven or eight uncles in the gang who had treated her well since she was a child, and it would be best if they came to enjoy happiness together.

In the end, the list was written on several large sheets of rice paper, and almost half of the small slot gang was moved.

Wan Yankang looked at the list, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh: "My big gang leader, are you going to open the trough gang to the north?" ”

Lin Feifeng also realized that it was a little too much, and she snorted: "Why not!" People don't want to stay in the deep palace all day and be your canary. ”

"Silly girl, I didn't want you to stay in the deep palace. In my heart, a woman can hold up half the sky! Wan Yankang touched Lin Feifeng's hair, and then slowly explained the situation of Huang Rong's three daughters in each important position when they were in White Horse City.

Lin Feifeng cheered after hearing this: "Kang Lang, great!" Then, she rewrote a list, and only listed the names of a few close maids such as Xiaoman and several young backbones of the Groove Gang at the top.

Wan Yankang shook his head and crossed out the names of several young backbones.

Lin Feifeng pouted: "What's the matter, people bring a few handy people, you're jealous!" ”

Wan Yankang flicked on her head: "What a mess, you people stay in Jiankang, I will be useful in the future." ”

"Rectify the forces and go south in the future?"

Although Lin Feifeng is from the Song Dynasty, he is thinking about Yan Kang at this time. As soon as she asked, Wan Yankang came up with his plans. There are thousands of people in the Groove Gang, since Lin Feifeng, the leader of the Groove Gang, has become his concubine, how can Song Guo rest assured that the Groove Gang, even if he does not do it himself, he must support the rival gang and encroach on the power of the Groove Gang.

In Wan Yankang's plan, Lin Feifeng had to appoint an old man in the trough gang to act as the gang leader, while several other young henchmen had to pretend to be dissatisfied with this, and had to make a big fuss in the gang and break out.

Early the next morning, Wan Yankang passed the list with the emperor's private seal to Shi Miyuan, and sent a company of cavalry to escort Shi Miyuan and the mission personnel south.
