Chapter 046: Peace Discussion

In the post house, standing in front of the window, a few green trees in the courtyard are lush, birds are jumping and singing on it, and Liu Cao, the messenger of the golden people, is frowning and thoughtful.

As the eldest son of Wanyan Zongwang's henchman Liu Yanzong, in the first year of Jingkang, because his father Liu Yanzong was killed by Wang Song outside Bianjing City, Jin Ren felt that Liu Yanzong was running up and down for the Jurchens and working hard.

Since going south, he can feel that this battle is getting harder and harder. Now that the weather is slowly getting hotter, he still wants to persuade Yan Zongbi to withdraw his troops as soon as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary losses.

"Liu Shilang, you look very bad, what's on your mind?"

Just as Yan Zongjun walked in, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it.

Liu Cao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, this Song soldier is getting more and more difficult to deal with. It's getting hotter, and if we continue like this, we'll have to retreat. ”

Wanyan Zongjun frowned and did not say anything.

Liu Cao is right, more than four years have passed, and compared with the first year of Jingkang, today's Song soldiers are becoming more and more difficult.

Speaking of which, Wang Song is dead, and the loyal and righteous army is only concentrated in Taiyuan and the Daimyo's Mansion, and the garrisons in other places do not have much combat effectiveness at all, who wants to be so troublesome.

"Liu Shilang, you said that this Song people are fighting a different war than before. In the past, the Song soldiers were crushed at the touch of a button, but now they are bloody. You say, what the hell happened to make them change so much?"

Liu Cao was about to reply, but the guards came in and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the officials of the Song people have arrived."

Wanyan Zongbi and Liu Cao glanced at each other, and they both laughed.

"Song envoy, how can my Highness of the Great Jin Kingdom face the north and turn the back to the south? You are disrespectful, don't you want to make peace? ”

In the lobby, Liu Cao's face was full of iron, and he stood up with Yan Zongjun, and he was about to leave.

Tang Ke was startled, hurriedly stepped forward, blocked the two, and said in a loud voice: "Don't be angry, don't be dissatisfied, let's change it."

He turned around and shouted at the officials on the side:

"Eyeless waste, why don't you quickly rearrange the table and set up the east and west positions, the messenger is east, and I am facing the official to the west!"

He turned around and said with a smile: "Envoy, what do you think of this?"

The east side is respectful, Liu Cao nodded slightly, nodded and said, "It's about the same."

The two sides sat down, and Liu Cao took out the book and handed it to the officials on the side.

"Tang Xianggong, this is the condition of my Dajin Kingdom, if it can be done, my Dajin Kingdom will withdraw its troops immediately. If you don't agree, we'll see you in Tokyo. ”

Wanyan Zongjun coldly dropped a sentence, and then turned around and left, leaving Tang Ke and the others stunned.

"Envoy Liu, please reply to Your Highness, the matter is very important, let me wait until I explain it to the Son of Heaven."

Liu Cao also stood up, nodded and said, "There is no time to delay, and please make a quick decision from the Great Song Dynasty, don't miss the opportunity."

"cede the land of the two rivers and the three states beyond the river, and use the Yellow River as the dividing line between Song and Jin; Serve the crown and chariot to line, respect the gold lord as the emperor's uncle, and honor the number; 500,000 taels of silver and 500,000 horses of silk are paid to Jin Gong every year; The head of the letter Wang Song head, reprimanded its nickname ......"

The unreasonable demands of the Jin people did not cause much controversy in the temple. The ministers just whispered to each other and began to talk to each other.

"The Jin people said in the book that if they did not comply with their demands, they would immediately attack the city of Tokyo, block the canal, and encircle the east and west again, and they would not die."

When Zhao Ji was frightened, he was exhausted for a while, and leaned weakly on the back of the chair.

"Everyone, the golden people are menacing, and the city of Tokyo is precarious. I decided to move south to avoid its front. The Jin people's note is here, where to go, and I also ask the secretary to give an idea. ”

Again, there was a moment of silence in the hall, and the high-ranking scholars and doctors were once again collectively silent.

If he really has the ability to govern the country and secure the country, enrich the country and strengthen the army, the Great Song Dynasty will not be ruined by the people governed by Zhao Ji, and bandits will rise everywhere. If he is really a loyal and filial son, he will not flee without touching on the battlefield, and his legs will be weak and undignified in the face of foreign aggression.

"For a hundred years of the Great Song Dynasty, scholars and kings ruled the world together. How to get to the critical juncture, you and others are silent. The respect and glory and wealth given by the imperial court to you, did you raise a group of wine bags and rice bags?"

Since Zhao Ji returned to power, the language has become extremely mean, and the minister has been refuted mercilessly. But even so, there is still silence below, and if there is a pool of stagnant water, it is difficult to get up.

Usually talk about his heart with his hands, and report to the king when he dies in a hurry. Nowadays, there are many people who live secretly, and there are very few people who die generously, let alone the minister of humerus who saves the country and the people.

At this time, Zhao Ji envied his son Zhao Huan. At the very least, Zhao Huan's side, as well as Wang Song's group of fierce generals and capable ministers, can shock the Jin people.

Looking at these crooked melons and cracked dates around him, Zhao Ji couldn't help frowning even tighter, and his heart was half cold.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although the Jin people are going straight down with two armies and attacking the city, it seems to be like a bamboo, but in fact, they are suffering from the enemy on their backs, and there are many drawbacks. As long as the division of the king is transferred to Beijing and held on for a month, the weather will turn hot, and the Jin people will retreat. Our troops then pursued and covered up the killing......"

Before He Li finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Hui on the side.

"He Xianggong, until now, you are still here to speak out and confuse the public. Now that the Jin people have crossed the Yellow River, how can King Qin's division enter the city? What is your intention in putting the Son of Heaven in danger?"

The Son of Heaven understood that the meaning was there, that is, to move south to avoid the enemy's front. You are a champion who has fallen out of favor, and you are still here to speak cleverly and disobey the king, do you really think that you are still Zhao Huan's Chinese scholar?

He Li was filled with righteous indignation, he just didn't want to lose his land so easily, but he was ruthlessly attacked by this imperial historian. Doesn't he know that once it is difficult to move, the north of the Yellow River will be in the hands of the Jinren. If you want to recover, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.

He was just about to argue, but Zhao Ji's cold gaze swept over, and the words came to his mouth and swallowed again.

How can an idler who has fallen out of favor be qualified to take care of the affairs of this country. Blindly insisting can only be more annoying, Li Gang and Yuwen are not already a lesson from the past?

"Your Majesty, peace can be decided. The two rivers are eroded, bandits are everywhere, even if they are cut by the Jinren, I am afraid it will be difficult to calm down in a few years, and if it is to recover, it may take longer. ”

Geng Nanzhong walked out and said loudly.

At this time, he no longer expressed his existence, I am afraid that after moving south, his position will be even more precarious.

The capricious villain, the generation of the Qin and Twilight Chu who rides the wall, who dares to rely on him as a henchman!

"The lord of the peace conference is the emperor's uncle, the honorable name; Every year, 500,000 taels of silver and 500,000 horses of silk are paid to Jingong, and you can consider it so as not to lose the face of our Great Song Dynasty court and not damage the majesty of Your Majesty. ”

Zhao Kai, Zhao Gou and other royal princes all kept their mouths tightly closed. The stakes are so great that no one dares to speak falsely, lest they be recorded in history and defile themselves.

Tang Ke took a step forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, in the peace discussion, you can respect the gold lord as the royal brother, the honorable number; Every year, 200,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk are paid to Jingong. The golden man will agree. The minister seconded Geng Xiang's proposal. ”

Not to mention the demeaning name of Wang Song, the land of the two rivers and the great rivers and mountains were so easily parted by these ministers of the lord and faction.

Seeing that Zhao Ji's face eased, Qin Hui's mind quickly turned around, and he immediately had an idea.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court has moved south, and a minister of the humerus can be ordered to stay in Tokyo City and control the royal division. The tombs of the kings of the Great Song Dynasty are all in Xijing, and a minister can be ordered to stay in Xijing, guard Luoyang, and take care of the ancestral tombs. His Majesty's Holy Judgment. ”

Zhao Ji nodded lightly. The other ministers in the hall were clamoring, and everyone was gossiping, not knowing what they were arguing about.

"Your Majesty, Zong Ze should be strong, loyal and brave, and repeatedly defeated thieves. His Majesty can entrust him to stay in Tokyo and control the armies to block the Jinren. ”

Now that it is imperative to move the capital, He Li still wants to make a final effort to keep a humeral minister like Zongze in Tokyo City, so as not to poison the land of Gyeonggi by the Jin people.

Zhao Ji's face eased and nodded slightly.

"He Xiang, this is the words of the courtier. The edict ordered Zong Ze to return to the capital quickly, stay behind for Tokyo, Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and control the army. ”

He Li's heart quieted down a little, bowed, and retreated.

His career has been interrupted, and after arriving in Jiangnan, as long as he can enjoy his old age in peace, he will no longer bother to pay attention to these bad things in the court.

"Your Majesty, the Jin people hate Wang Song to the bone, and if they can't get his bones, they will definitely get worse. In the opinion of the ministers, Wang Songzhi's nickname is "Miao Chou", and the court should promise the Jin people, but also warn the armies that they must not use martial arts to gain power, and the harm will be endless. Your Majesty thinks twice. ”

Qin Hui walked out, righteous and awe-inspiring, a picture of worrying about the country and the people.

Geng Nanzhong immediately stood up and bowed:

"Qin Zhongcheng's words are good, and the minister seconded the proposal."

"Your Majesty, the minister also seconded the proposal."

Tang Ke also stood up.

Zhao Ji nodded. Wang Song is the right-hand man of his son Zhao Huan, suppressing Wang Song, ruining his reputation, and seizing the throne also seems justifiable.

"Qin Zhongcheng's words are very meaningful. Regained Wang Song's nickname of "false loyalty", gave him "ugly", and his family was imprisoned, and announced to the world to comfort the hearts of the people of the world. ”

Qin Hui and others worshiped together, and everyone was happy.

After Wang Song's death, the notoriety spread all over the world, leaving a stench for thousands of years, and everyone finally got out of the bad breath in their chests.

"King Yun, if the imperial court cedes the south of the Yellow River, and the Jin people wave their troops south, how should the imperial court deal with itself?"

Liu Yu of Shandong rebelled and surrendered to the Jin. The Jin people, whether by land or sea, could go south to pursue the Song army, and the peace negotiations seemed to be vulnerable.

"Your Majesty is worry-free, Wang Song's old department, there are still tens of thousands of people scattered in the land of the two rivers. This generation of people who hate gold is in their bones, and they will definitely fight against gold. The back road of the Jin people is unstable, and they will not dare to go south easily, lest the back road be cut off. ”

Qin Hui has been in the Taiyuan Loyal and Righteous Army for several months, and he knows a little about the inside story of the Loyal and Righteous Army, and he is also the first to analyze it.

"Qin Zhongcheng is really old-fashioned, and what he said is very sincere. From this point of view, the Jin people also have worries, and the matter of moving the capital can be done slowly. ”

Zhao Ji, who had already decided to move south, coughed lightly, and the hall immediately quieted down.

"He Xianggong, King Su, the two of you, as the peace envoys of the imperial court, go to Jinying."

Zhao Ji said slowly: "The silver was changed to 200,000 taels, and the silk was changed to 200,000 horses. ”

He Li was helpless, stepped forward with Zhao Shu, and bowed solemnly: "The minister obeys the order."

All the ministers stepped forward together and bowed solemnly: "Your Majesty Shengming."

Zhao Ji nodded, and said loudly: "The southward relocation of the imperial court has been decided, let's discuss the details of the southward move."

Geng Nanzhong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed solemnly: "Your Majesty, King Yun and King Kang are both young and promising, and the two of them will arrange the relocation of the capital, first, they can experience, and second, they can share their worries for Your Majesty, please allow Your Majesty."

Zhao Kai was slightly unhappy. Originally, he could do it alone, but if he had to pull in a Kang Wang Zhao Gou, wouldn't it be a snake to add to it, and it would be a big move.

However, he has always had a good relationship with Zhao Gou, and at this time in the main hall, he can't openly deny it, otherwise how will the two get along in the future?

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to work with King Kang to arrange the operation and share the worries of Your Majesty."

"Good, good!"

Zhao Ji nodded and patted the desk lightly.

"King Yun presided over the move to the south, and King Kang and Qin Zhongcheng were on the side to help. Choose an auspicious day and head south as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. ”

Everyone had different thoughts, and they stepped forward together, and the mountain shouted long live.
