After listening to Yang Cishan's retelling, Shi Miyuan's eyes narrowed, and after thinking for a while, he stroked his palms and laughed.

Yang Cishan waited for him to finish laughing, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Shi, is there a good plan?" ”

Shi Miyuan nodded: "There is one person who can do this!" ”

"Who?"

"Xia Zhen."

Hearing this, Yang Cishan took a deep breath, and then nodded. He handed the jade pendant given by Zhao Kuo to Shi Miyuan, and the two of them laughed loudly at the same time.

In the afternoon of this day, Shi Miyuan drove out of the house and visited Xia Zhen's mansion.

"Master Shi, you are in good health, congratulations, congratulations, Xia has been on duty for the past two days, and he didn't have time to visit you in the house, no wonder, no wonder." When Xia Zhen heard that Shi Miyuan was visiting, he immediately went out to greet him.

Xia Zhen is the commander of the Chinese army, the official affairs of the front department of the palace, in charge of the internal defense, the official residence of the three grades, and the grade is the same as Shi Miyuan. The Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, but military attachés like Xia Zhen, who were often on the side of the monarch, had a higher status than Shi Miyuan. But Xia Zhen was in charge of the internal defense, and knew that Shi Miyuan won the emperor's heart after returning from the envoy, and he must be the person who the emperor would reuse in the future, so he went out to greet him, which was considered to have given Shi Miyuan enough face.

After Shi Miyuan and Xia Zhen exchanged polite words, the two entered the house to talk.

Xia Zhen introduced Shi Miyuan into the living room, and after some greetings, Shi Miyuan glanced left and right a few times.

Seeing this, Xia Zhen understood what he meant, and he immediately ordered his subordinates: "Go out, no one is allowed to approach the living room ten steps without my order." ”

The subordinate received the order and immediately ran out of the living room, looking very crisp and neat.

Shi Miyuan arched his hand and smiled: "Lord Xia, governing the family is like governing the army, Shi admires!" ”

Xia Zhen trained his subordinates and even servant women at home, and he used the method of governing the army, which was widely spread outside, and this matter could be regarded as his pride. When Shi Miyuan said this, he laughed: "Xia is just a martial artist, and he has no other skills, so he can't compare to Master Shi." ”

Shi Miyuan also smiled: "Shi Mou has no power to restrain the chicken, how can there be any grace, not to mention, Shi Mou came to the door to disturb today, and there is something to ask for." ”

"Master Shi might as well speak up if he has something to say."

Shi Miyuan took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms: "Lord Xia, can you recognize this thing?" ”

Xia Zhen felt a little familiar at first glance, and after taking a closer look, he couldn't help but take a deep breath: "But what is the official family's personal belongings?" ”

Shi Miyuan nodded.

This jade pendant is unknown to others, but Xia Zhen knows that Zhao Kuo is very fond of this jade pendant baby, and he has always worn it closely. At this time, Zhao Kuo handed over the jade pendant to Shi Miyuan, there must be something important to do, Xia Zhen became excited: "My lord, please command!" ”

Shi Miyuan leaned into Xia Zhen's ear and whispered.

Xia Zhen was shocked after hearing this, and after a long while, he raised his head: "Don't worry, your lord, Xia will not fail in his mission!" ”

Shi Miyuan nodded: "This jade pendant, can you put it in Lord Xia?" ”

Xia Zhen stretched out his hand to take it, but when he saw Shi Miyuan's gaze, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly smiled: "Where does Xia dare to ask for this thing, please return the big man to the original owner, Xia will not disgrace his mission." ”

Shi Miyuan smiled slightly: "Lord Xia has a good rest, and Shi will not bother." ”

Early the next morning, when the ministers went to court, Han Yanxuan was suddenly taken away by Xia Zhen and his troops.

When the ministers saw this, they were all panicked and uneasy, and they didn't know why. It's just that there is no other will at this moment, and everyone has to go to court on time.

At the beginning of the court discussion, Zhao Kuo saw that Han Yanxuan was not there, he reached out to his waist and touched the jade pendant returned last night, and a almost imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Han Yanxuan was not there, and the court discussion was still going on as usual. A quarter of an hour later, Xia Zhen stepped into the main hall and knelt on one knee: "Qi Qi Sheng, Han Yanxuan conspired to rebel, and he has been taken down by Weichen!" ”

When the ministers in the palace heard this, they were in an uproar.

"Silence!"

Zhao Kuo waited for the hall to be quiet for a while, and hurriedly asked: "Where is Han Yanxuan?" ”

Xia Zhen said: "Qi Qi Sheng, Han Yanxuan insisted on resisting, and he was killed on the spot by Weichen, and this person's head is outside the hall. ”

Zhao Kuo made a sad gesture, covered his eyes with one hand, and pointed at Xia Zhen with the other and said: "Taifu is guilty, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this!"

Xia Zhen hurriedly knelt on his knees and kowtowed repeatedly: "Weichen is guilty, please punish the saint." ”

After a while, Zhao Kuocai raised his head and waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it, Xuan Shi Miyuan has entered the palace." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Shi Miyuan, who had been waiting outside the palace, ascended to the main hall and began to read out the ten charges against Han Yanxuan that he had prepared all night last night.

After Shi Miyuan finished reading Han Yanzhou's crimes, he ordered someone to present Han Yanxuan's head in front of the palace.

For a while, most of the people in the hall were panicked, and even some urine smelled permeated.

Han Yanxuan has been in power for more than ten years, and most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have been related to him. As soon as Han Yanxuan died, the ministers didn't know how many people they had to liquidate, and Zhao Kuo didn't have much murderous intentions, so he just took Su Shidan according to Shi Miyuan and Yang Cishan's intentions.

Zhao Kuo was supported by Han Yanxuan, and he has been grateful to Han Yanxuan for more than ten years, so that after Han Yanxuan's death, he still felt a little remorseful.

After Han Yanxuan and Su Shidan's list of copyists was submitted, the little remorse in Zhao Kuo's heart was immediately thrown out of the clouds.

In Su Shidan's house, the gold and silver copied out were worth more than one million taels. In Han Yanzhou's house, a total of more than 2.3 million taels of gold and silver were copied, and there were countless rare treasures. Just raided the homes of these two people, and filled in more than half of the big hole of the five million taels of compensation demanded by Jin Guo.

On that day, with the deterrence of Han Yanxuan's head, Shi Miyuan offered to donate 10,000 taels to the Jin State indemnity in public. As soon as Shi Miyuan's voice fell, the ministers responded one after another, and the total number of donations exceeded one million.

These two traitors, Zhao Kuo scolded bitterly in his heart, and then thought beautifully, Shi Miyuan is my great Song Liangzhu!

The seizure of the family and the pledge of the Manchu Dynasty almost made up enough for five million taels of indemnity. Zhao Kuo found several senior members of the household department and Shi Miyuan to discuss whether to raise taxes.

In Zhao Kuo's mind, since most of the compensation has been resolved, the remaining shortage of hundreds of thousands of taels will be squeezed out by the households.

Shi Miyuan immediately said that the commercial tax must be increased, and after the five million taels are compensated, he will have to pay 500,000 taels of tribute every year in the future!

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he felt reasonable.

Several members of the household department know that Shi Miyuan is now popular, and where they dare to go against him at this time, they are naturally full of peace.

Anyway, you don't have to pay for your own purse, what you add is the tax of those merchants, and if you don't move the foundation of the country, what's the matter!

Three days later, Shi Miyuan led the delegation again and went straight to Kaifeng.

As soon as he arrived in Kaifeng this time, Shi Miyuan was summoned by Wan Yankang.

After Shi Miyuan met Yan Kang, he first submitted the credentials, and then affirmed that the indemnity of 5 million taels was in Xiangyang, and as soon as the peace document was signed, he immediately sent troops to Kaifeng Mansion.

After Yan Kang began to pre-empt whether the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom would bargain, how did he know that the other party would agree so happily, he looked at Shi Miyuan who was kneeling under the stage, and laughed loudly: "Lord Shi, it's hard work, come here, take a seat." ”

Next, Wan Yankang immediately finalized the peace document with Shi Miyuan, signed the name and stamped the big seal, and as soon as the compensation arrived, Shi Miyuan could bring the peace document back to Lin'an.

Shi Miyuan was so excited that he immediately sent someone back to Xiangyang and ordered the immediate delivery of the compensation.

When the peace document was signed, Wu Shiman, Tian Dali and others were watching from the sidelines. As soon as Shi Miyuan left, Wu Shiman couldn't hold back any longer: "Your Majesty, do we really want to negotiate peace with the south?" ”

Wan Yankang smiled: "The five million taels sent to the door, why not." ”

Wu Shiman glanced at his mouth: "Our Dajin, where is the difference between these millions of taels!" ”

Tian Dali also responded: "That's it, that's it, we are rich in the world......

Before he finished speaking, Wan Yankang kicked Tian Dali's ass and kicked the goods to the ground.

Tian was full of anger when he threw himself on the street, and the moment he got up, he thought that this kick could only be kicked by Yan Kang himself, and he suddenly lost his temper, but turned around and made a pitiful appearance.

"Rich in the world...... This year, my Dajin's tax revenue is only more than 3 million taels, and the financial expenditure is more than 5 million taels. It's been raining too much in Kaifeng these days, and this water has gone into my head! Wan Yankang glared at Tian Dali, and scolded angrily.

Daikin's tax revenue during his time in Zhangzong was more than 10 million taels every year, because of the division between the north and the south in recent years, the tax revenue of the northern dynasty was greatly reduced. After Yan Kang recovered the lost land, he took pity on the people who had suffered from several years of war, and specially reduced many taxes, and now the financial revenue is even tighter.

If it weren't for the fact that many corrupt officials were dismissed in various localities and most of the officials were spared, the financial expenditure of the Jin State would have exceeded 5 million.

Tian Dali was scolded and didn't dare to fight back, and he looked even more pitiful. Such a fierce general on the battlefield made a pitiful expression of an angry little daughter-in-law, and all the civil and military forces couldn't help laughing.

After Yan Kang finished scolding, he sat back and began to reason: "Remember to me that war is not an end, it is just a means, as long as you can achieve political or economic goals, you will not fight without fighting." ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and after a while, Wu Feixiong asked out loud: "Your Majesty, in this way, let's put the swords and guns into the warehouse in the future, and the horses will be released in Nanshan?" ”

In the Jin military merit system, war is the fastest way to get credit. But although everyone is warlike, there is not a single one who is cruel and easy to kill. Wu Feixiong raised his head to ask, all because he had an unresolved knot in his heart and wanted to go back to the south.

Wan Yankang smiled: "How is it written on the peace paper?" ”

Wu Feixiong looked at Wan Yan Kang's playful smile, and hurriedly reviewed the peace documents, the content of which mainly had several large parts: one is that the Song State respects Jin as the upper country, the second is to pay an annual tribute of 500,000 taels to the Jin State every year, the third is a one-time indemnity of five million taels, and the fourth is to open up trade, and there is only one obligation for the Jin State, when Wan Yankang is in power, he will never invade the Song Dynasty.

With Yan Kang's age and martial arts, as long as he wants to sit down on the emperor's throne, he is afraid that it will be no problem to sit for another seventy or eighty years.

Looking at everyone's still puzzled eyes, Wan Yankang was helpless, so he had to mention: "I just promised that I would never invade the Song Dynasty, if the Song Kingdom took the initiative to offend me......"

Tian Dali listened to it and muttered: "These eggless people in the south, borrow 10,000 guts from them, and they don't dare to offend my big gold!" ”

Wu Feixiong suddenly understood, and arched his hand towards Yan Kang: "The last general knows!" ”

Most of the people present understood and burst out laughing.

After Yan Kang finished laughing, he said solemnly: "This matter ends here, if there is a private disagreement, it will be punished as treason with the enemy!" ”

"Yes!"
