Zhao Gou hung the envoys of the two countries for two days, and on the morning of the third day, he informed them that the trilateral talks would be held at Honglu Temple at noon. Although the leaders of the two countries made quite a lot of drafts for this negotiation, they were still a little caught off guard in the face of the sudden attack of the supreme leader of the Great Song Dynasty.

The emperor sat in the main hall of Honglu Temple, Qu Ping, Li Gang and the six Shangshu all gathered, and the two rows of sabers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guards outside the hall were neat. The winter sun shines on the knife surface, sparkling. Wanyan Zongfu and Li Changyou took three or five entourages, and their whole bodies were searched to confirm that they did not carry any weapons before they were allowed to enter the hall. The two of them stood opposite each other, looked at each other, and walked into the hall with the courage of a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Emperor Zhao Gou condescendingly looked at Wanyan Zongfu and Li Changyou calmly walked into the hall, and said to himself: These two people are bold and overlooked, which is really a stumbling block to the development of the Great Song Dynasty.

After Yan Zongfu and Li Changyou took the gift of friends to Zhao Gou, Li Gang and Qu Ping, Zhao Gou did not bother whether they should do the courtesy of their subordinates, and ordered the two of them to sit on both sides, and said: "The Song and Jin countries have made an alliance from the sea and jointly cut down Liao, and it has long been agreed that the land of Yanyun belongs to my Great Song Dynasty, and my Great Song Dynasty will also pay Qin and Jin coins with you as promised." It's a pity that after the destruction of the Liao State, your Jin State was ambitious, not only tore up the agreement, swallowed the land of Yanyun, but also invaded my Great Song Dynasty in the south, and captured my first emperor and Taishang Emperor. It's tolerable, it's unbearable! Now he can't eat too much, so that he takes the blame and burns himself. I, the Song Dynasty, thousands of soldiers and civilians, are brave after shame, and work together, how can you continue to bully the Jin country, which has only been established for more than ten years! ”

Wanyan Zongfu said: "The alliance on the sea, it is also the first time that your Great Song Dynasty cannot fulfill the treaty and send troops to attack Liao as scheduled. After your country exterminated the Fangla uprising, and then slowly attacked Liao, the commander Tong Guan led 150,000 troops but was defeated by the Liao army that was pursued by my Dajin. I, Emperor Taizu of the Great Jin, captured Liao Yanjing, and I didn't see a single soldier in your country. Although my Dajin took the land of Yanyun, but I have the heart to make friends with your Great Song Dynasty and send Yanyun Six Prefectures, unexpectedly, your country is not only insatiable, but also secretly colluded to support the remnants of the Liao State, intending to contain the development of my Dajin, but it is actually to destroy the maritime alliance again, and my Dajin Emperor can't bear it, so he sent troops to attack Song to show punishment. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and if there is a slight difference, the king will be defeated, and Daikin and your country will each win a game, and the wind and autumn colors will be regarded as coming and not being rude. ”

"It's good to come and not be rude!" Zhao Gou said, "The Jin State invaded my Great Song Dynasty for thousands of miles, brought disaster to the country and the people, and captured my Great Song Emperor, is this also a courtesy?" ”

"Your country has now imprisoned my two kings, Dajin, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers, I think these are the focus of our negotiations." Wanyan Zongfu said.

"The third prince entered my Great Song capital alone to negotiate with his daughter, and I can see that your country attaches great importance to the fourth prince and tens of thousands of soldiers, personally, I also admire your courage, and there is really no shortage of eloquent and strategic people in your Dajin." Zhao Gou said to Li Changyou again: "General Li, since your Western Xia dominates the northwest of my Great Song Dynasty and is called Emperor Wang Cheng, my Great Song Dynasty has endured it many times, and also recognized the emperor of your country, why do you want to assist the Jin State to attack my Great Song Dynasty and help the Emperor to abuse?" ”

Li Changyou said helplessly: "Since I eliminated the Empress Dowager's dictatorship in Great Xia, the national strength has declined. To tell the truth, whether it is your Da Song or his Da Jin, whoever is strong, we have to vassal. Your country has suffered the humiliation of Jingkang, and whoever sees the meat of the Great Song Dynasty wants to come up and take a bite. It's just that now I've eaten meat, bitten bones, and broken teeth. ”

Li Changyou's attitude is sincere, and the metaphor is so appropriate and accurate, there is nothing to count down.

Zhao Gou said: "General Li's words are not bad, my Great Song Dynasty was indeed too weak before, so that whoever looked at my Great Song Dynasty thought it was a Chinese meal." As everyone knows, my Da Song is just a tiger dozing off, and now I want to thank you for waking up this tiger! I am a beautiful China, civilization has been inherited for thousands of years, and the dignity and nobility in my blood cannot be blasphemed! ”

Qu Ping saw that he was almost done, so he reminded: "Your Majesty, the two adults who came from afar must have been worried about the peace talks for a long time, have they entered the agenda?" ”

Emperor Zhao Gou nodded, sat down on the dragon chair, and ordered Li Gang to read out the Great Song Dynasty's requirements.

Li Gang had already memorized it in his heart, and said: "First of all, in view of the border issue, the Western Xia retreated to the territory of Daguan for four years, and the Jin State withdrew from all the territories that invaded our Great Song Dynasty and returned to the sixteen states of Yanyun. In addition, I am a great Song Dynasty who governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, and it is not easy to read life, and any soldier can let your country redeem it. A soldier is one hundred taels of silver, and the higher one is two hundred taels, from which it is calculated. The food provided for the captives will also be compensated by your country. In addition, the people were mutilated, the fields and houses were damaged, and the city walls were compensated by the Western Xia State with 3 million taels of silver, and the Jin State with 500 taels of silver. It can be exchanged for goods and livestock at the same value. ”

Li Changyou carefully considered these proposals, which were basically questions that had already been thought of, and he replied: "I represent Daxia on the border issue, and I have no objections. But the ransom is huge, 50,000 troops and generals in Great Xia, plus 3 million in compensation, it is really impossible to take it, I hope your country can ...... Can't get a discount? ”

Li Gang said: "Your country was so simple when it sent troops, but now it is tangled. Your Western Xia is rich in good horses, which can be used to exchange. If you can't come up with the money, then take a few fewer people. You yourself are worth a lot of silver, so it's better to stay in my Great Song Dynasty and be a free king. ”

Li Changyou said dejectedly: "Please allow me to think about it." ”

After thinking about it, Wanyan Zongfu said: "Regarding the issue of prisoners, I should have 60,000 or 70,000 people......

"There are only more than 40,000, and I have registered them all in the Great Song Dynasty!" Qu Ping interrupted.

Wanyan Zongfu didn't know exactly how many prisoners there were, sixty or seventy thousand was just a casual remark, and the 40,000 prisoners alone were less than the 50,000 in Western Xia, which was still acceptable for the local tyrant Dajin who robbed the two major capitals of Liao and Song Dynasty before and after, and it would be better if the price was negotiable. He said: "I share General Lee's request and hope that the amount can be appropriately reduced. There is no problem for our Jin army to withdraw from the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, as for the sixteen states of Yanyun, they have not been the things of your country since ancient times, so how can they be returned? ”

Zhao Gou said: "The sixteen states of Yanyun have been the land of China since ancient times, and the Great Song Dynasty inherited the Han and Tang dynasties, and since it should be qualified to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun!" ”

"In this way, Western Xia, Tubo, and even my Dajin and other places will be counted as your Great Song Dynasty?"

Qu Ping shouted: "Bold, dare to be so rude to my emperor!" ”

Zhao Gouxin said, sooner or later, these places will be included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. He said: "The land of Yanyun is ceded by the previous dynasty, not like a remote place such as Er, although it was attached to my Han land in ancient times, it is really autonomous, and it cannot be the same. ”

Wanyan Zongfu said: "The Jin army withdrew to the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, returned the land occupied south of the sixteenth week, compensated six million silver, and took all the prisoners. ”

Qu Ping said: "The third prince is really a fool's dream, when the Jin army of Jingkang Nian besieged Bianjing, he still asked to cede the three towns and two rivers, and pay 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, and 10 million horses of silk. Do you want to take 40,000 captives with just six million taels of silver? If you don't think about it carefully, I think you yourself will stay in the Great Song Dynasty and live with your 40,000 gold soldiers! ”

Wanyan Zongfu said angrily: "You ......"

"What are you, it's you who are now prisoners, not us!" Qu Ping said to Zhao Gou again, "Your Majesty, the minister has recently obtained a new pair of superb Wuyi red robes, and drink black tea after dinner to nourish his stomach, why don't we and Lord Li go to have a cup of tea first, and let General Li and General Wanyan think about it here, right?" When is it thought about, when will the emperor be notified. ”

Emperor Zhao Gou got up and said, "It's okay, don't disturb the two of you to discuss and think." Li Aiqing, let's go for tea. ”

Zhao Gou led Qu Ping and Li Gang to the outside of the hall, asked someone to set up a table, boiled water, drank tea by himself, and basked in the small sun in early winter, which was very comfortable.

Wanyan Zongfu and Li Changyou in the hall had green faces, leading a few of their own people, you look at me, I look at you, and look at the three people who were drinking tea leisurely outside, and there was fire in their hearts.

Li Changyou said to Wanyan Zongfu: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, your country first destroyed the Liao Kingdom and then broke the Great Song Dynasty, isn't it short of that bit of silver, do you still need to be embarrassed in this matter?" ”

Wanyan Zongfu said: "The silver is a small matter, the key is not to show that I am a big gold for him to slaughter, and more importantly, to keep the gateway of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures!" Since ancient times, the land of Yanyun has been the place where the north and the south must fight, and it is actually the land of the throat, which cannot be easily ceded! ”

"That makes sense. I don't know what the emperor of your country means, and what is the scope of expediency for the crown prince? ”

"I, Emperor Dajin, regard me and Zong Bi as right-hand men, and Zong Xian is a cousin to me, both of whom the emperor relies on, and the emperor requires these two brothers to be brought back to the Jin Kingdom. As for the Song land that was invaded, I destroyed the Liao State at the beginning of the Great Jin, and the territory was not yet completely stable, so it was difficult to manage, so it was better to return it to him for the time being. ”

"Yanyun Sixteen States ......"

"The emperor's intention is also to swear to protect the sixteen states of Yanyun, this is the bottom line!" Wanyan Zongfu said.

Li Changyou thought for a while and said: "Your country once had an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty on the sea, and promised to return Yanjing and the six states of Ji, Jing, Tan, and Shun, but now the Song Dynasty is strong, and your country has been caught by him by the tail, in my opinion, it is better to return the land of these states, and you still have Yanyun Kyushu in the north, which is blocked by the Great Wall, and it is also saved from friction with the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"No, there are Yingzhou and Pingzhou to the east of these six states to guard the Shanhaiguan Road, if the two states are lost, won't the door of the country be opened?"
