Volume 2 Reversal of the Water Chapter 75 The Third Condition (Chapter 7)
When the truth doesn't make sense, a big fist often becomes the biggest truth, and Pei Shengqin now has a deep understanding of this.
It's good to say that he didn't listen to it, but as soon as he said that the war would continue, Sima Daozi was instantly intimidated.
In front of everyone in the missions on both sides, Sima Daozi finally admitted happily that this war was an invasion of the Qin Dynasty by the Jin Dynasty.
Pei Shengqin turned around, sat back at the negotiation table slowly, and said with a smile: "Since King Langya admitted that this battle was the fault of your dynasty, it is easy to say." Because of the evil thoughts of the Gui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the war was full of disasters, and now if you want to negotiate peace, the Gui Dynasty should pay a price no matter what, right? ”
From the moment he recognized the nature of the war, Sima Daozi was ready to be slaughtered, but he was not too nervous. In fact, long before the peace negotiation, Sima Yao also guessed that this wave might have some blood, and he still gave Sima Daozi a certain amount of authority. I saw Sima Daozi swallow his saliva and said tentatively: "How many coins does the Qin Dynasty plan to have, Pei Hou might as well say bluntly, my dynasty only hopes that after the peace negotiation, the Qin Dynasty can release General Zuo and the Duke of Nanjun of our dynasty." ”
Under Sima Daozi's understanding, the so-called peace negotiation is just a truce between the two dynasties. At most, send some coins to the Qin Dynasty every year, and by the way, you can return to Wang Ningzhi, and at the same time help Huan Xuan get out of trouble, which is not a loss.
If Fu Pi came to talk, it would probably be like this, but unfortunately Sima Daozi met Pei Shengqin.
"My dynasty is rich and strong, and I am rich and rich, so I don't need your Jin Dynasty to give you New Year's coins." Pei Shengqin shook his head and said, "In addition, if your dynasty has any requirements, please sort out the terms later, whether it is to release Wang Ningzhi or spare Huan Xuan, let's talk about it one by one." Now I might as well listen to my request. ”
Don't want New Year's coins? The Qin Dynasty actually didn't want New Year's coins! Sima Daozi was overjoyed, he could negotiate peace without spending money, which couldn't be better! He hurriedly said: "What does your dynasty want, just talk about it!" ”
Sima Daozi was pleasantly surprised, and the same words fell into the ears of Feng Cai, and they felt frightened. With Pei Shengqin's immoral nature, can he suffer? Since he said that he didn't want the New Year's coin, it could only show that the Qin Dynasty was trying to make it more valuable than the New Year's coin. Both of them looked nervous, waiting to see what Pei Shengqin wanted to say.
Pei Shengqin smiled slightly and said, "I only have three requirements, which are very simple. First, the territory of the two dynasties maintained the status quo, with the eastern line bounded by Huishui and the western line bounded by Xiangyang, and Xiangyang belonged to our dynasty. ”
In fact, before the outbreak of the Battle of Weishui, the boundaries of the former Qin and the Eastern Jin Dynasty were divided in this way, and now the actual control areas of the two sides are also divided according to this. Pei Shengqin's condition is not a condition at all, the former Qin did not require the Eastern Jin Dynasty to cede the land, can the Eastern Jin Dynasty still want the former Qin to cede the land?
Sima Daozi nodded hurriedly, his heart was already full of joy, he even thought that Tyranny Qin might ask Dajin to cede the land, but he didn't expect that this surnamed Pei also offered to maintain the status quo. So he laughed and said, "That's right, this is according to Pei Hou!" ”
Feng should be very puzzled, this is not right, when did the surname Pei be so kind? However, doubts are doubts, he has made up his mind, and this negotiation is silent. Even if the surnamed Pei digs a pit, at most Sima Daozi will fall, and he will resolutely not take the blame for him.
The former Qin envoy was very quiet, presumably Pei Shengqin had informed them in advance, and at this time they were just quietly watching Pei Shengqin negotiate with Sima Daozi.
Seeing that Sima Daozi was very happy, Pei Shengqin said again: "This second condition is to hand over Zhu Xuan, and I will be punished by the Ming Dynasty." This thief invaded our dynasty and caused the battle of Weishui, which was a heinous crime. No thanks, no thanks! ”
To say that this Zhu Sui is also unlucky, last year there was a famine in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there was a shortage of food in the army, so he saw that the former Qin was rich, so he thought about going to fight the grass valley. Burning some food and grabbing some people is not a big deal, but I never thought that just because of this little thing, I would provoke the million-strong army of Qianqin to go south. In fact, Emperor Qin has long wanted to dominate the world, but unfortunately he can't find an excuse, the former Qin is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and face is the first, so he naturally refuses to raise an unrighteous teacher. As a result, at this moment, Zhu Xuan rushed to the door and sent a perfect excuse to Qianqin. You invade, I fight back, no problem!
You Jin Dynasty can say that the Qin Dynasty is just looking for an excuse to annex things, but there is no way, who asked you to provide this excuse to the Qin Dynasty? As long as this excuse is real, then I'm sorry, this matter is your Jin Dynasty's fault, and it is reasonable for the Qin Dynasty to beat you!
This second condition was actually mentioned by Pei Shengqin at random, and one or two conditions were all paving the way for the third condition. Killing Zhu is just a matter of convenience. Anyway, this Zhu Xuan is a little person, in a word, if you don't kill it, you won't kill it.
Sima Daozi didn't think about this for too long, and immediately nodded and said: "This is as it should be, my dynasty never wanted to invade the Qin Dynasty, it was all Zhu Xuan's own assertions." When he returned, the king personally arrested him and handed him over to your dynasty for processing. ”
If Pei Shengqin asked to kill Xie An Huanxuan or something, of course Sima Daozi would not agree. If Pei Shengqin asked to kill the generals within the Beifu Army, such as Liu Yu and Liu Gao, it is estimated that Sima Daozi would not be able to carry it out if he agreed, after all, Xie Xuan was very protective.
But it's very simple to kill Zhu Xuan, who let this thing have no one. Zhu Sui was subordinate to the Huan clan, and it is said that he received instructions from Huan Chong when he attacked Qianqin. But not to mention that Huan Chong is still trapped in the west of Xiangyang, even if Huan Chong comes back, he doesn't dare to give Zhu Chong this head. Provoking the former Qin caused a big war, does this pot Huan Chong dare to carry it? Huan Chong didn't dare to carry it, so he could only carry it by himself.
The rest of the Eastern Jin Dynasty mission had no objection to this, and they were even very happy.
This Pei Shengqin is very kind, these two conditions are very simple!
Only Feng Cai's eyelids jumped, he knew Pei Shengqin too well, the first two conditions were so simple, then the third condition was probably ......
Sima Daozi said boldly: "Pei Hou is a kind person, this king will make you a friend today!" Haha, what is one more condition, Pei Hou said it! ”
"Oh, the third condition is also very simple, it is a matter of a few ways to call it."
Pei Shengqin looked at Sima Daozi with a smirk on his face, and said slowly: "The emperor of the Jin Dynasty is demoted to the title of King of Jin, the queen of Jin is demoted to the queen, the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty is demoted to the title of Young Heavenly King, and all the titles of the Jin Dynasty are reduced in turn. ”
"What, the Descending Heavenly King?"
This time, everyone in the Jin Dynasty delegation couldn't sit still, and they all exclaimed.
The so-called King of Heaven, the same as the Son of Heaven, was originally another name for the emperor. Since ancient times, there has been no difference between the two titles of emperor and heavenly king, and in folk slang, "emperor Lao'er" and "heavenly king Laozi" also have the same meaning.
However, since Emperor Wu of Later Zhao Shi Hu "called the emperor when he was in his glory and called the king of heaven when he declined", the meaning of the king of heaven has gradually deteriorated, and it has faintly become a monarch title half a level lower than the "emperor".
