Li Changyou nodded, noncommittal, and said, "Then you should think about it more." ”

The staff next to Wanyan Zongfu whispered in a low voice, it is not as good as this, Wanyan Zongfu nodded, feeling that this method is acceptable. Lee Chang-woo pricked up his ears and didn't hear at all.

Li Changyou said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, now that I have suffered heavy damage in Daxia, I will have to shoulder a huge amount of compensation, when will the three places of Yunzhou, Huanzhou, and Shuozhou that your country promised to deliver?" ”

"Now that stealing chickens is not a loss of rice, if my Jin Kingdom cedes the land of the six states to the Song State as you said, and then sends three more to your country, the sixteen states of Yanyun will collapse in an instant, I am afraid that my emperor will not agree."

"So, your country wants to break the contract, and you are sending your friends to the enemy front!" Lee Chang-woo warned.

"Are you threatening the king?"

"You are the king, and I am also the king, who is afraid of whom! My Great Xia suffered a loss in the Great Song Dynasty, and your Jin Kingdom must compensate for it! ”

Wanyan Zongfu thought about it, softened his tone, and said, "Since you and I are both difficult brothers, it is better to give in to each other." The land of Yunzhou and Shuozhou will be given to you in Western Xia, and Huanzhou will still belong to my Dajin country, and the Yanmen Pass must be guarded by my Dajin. ”

Li Changyou went down the ladder and said, "Then according to what the prince said, let's sign a treaty together today!" ”

"Let's wait until the negotiation with Da Song is completed before signing." Wanyan Zongfu said.

Li Changyou nodded and said, "It's okay." If the prince has thought about it, let them come in and continue the discussion. ”

Zhao Gou led people in and said, "It seems that the two of you have thought about it, let's say, what is the result of consideration?" ”

Li Changyou took the lead and said: "Your Majesty the Great Song Dynasty, I can pay five million taels of silver in Great Xia, and a total of 20,000 cattle, sheep and horses. ”

Zhao Gou said: "No, six million silver. ”

"I really can't take it out in Daxia, please ask the emperor to be gracious."

"Then five and a half million taels!"

"Emperor Xie!"

Wanyan Zongfu said: "On behalf of Dajin, after careful consideration, I can pay 3 million taels of silver, and according to the covenant on the sea, return the six prefectures of You, Ji, Jing, Tan, Shun, and Zhuo, and all the Jin troops will withdraw to the north of the Great Wall, but fifty miles south of the Great Wall will still belong to my Dajin." That's the biggest step back I can make. ”

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "I'm very satisfied with your concession, but three million silver is too little!" ”

"This is the compensation for the return of the imperial relatives of the second emperor of your country."

Zhao Gou didn't speak, if the second emperor came back, how would he deal with himself.

Qu Ping stood up at this time and said: "One yard is one yard, you pay this time first, and next time we will redeem the second emperor." Six million can't be less! ”

Wanyan Zongfu said: "We have the heart to send back the second emperor of your country, why don't we hand it over together this time?" ”

Qu Ping said: "The second emperor said that you would take it away, and if you said that you would send it back, you would send it back." Regarding the Second Emperor, we will personally welcome you back to Beijing in the future! ”

Wanyan Zongfu looked at Zhao Gou and said, "What does the emperor mean?" ”

Zhao Gou looked at Wanyan Zongfu coldly and said, "Six million! ”

"Then follow the will of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and this king will also tell the good news to those two." Wanyan Zongfu said. If the second emperor can be returned, it will inevitably stir up a pond of muddy water for the now thriving Song court, but unfortunately it failed to do so.

Now that the tripartite agreement has been decided, Li Aiqing immediately drafted a post-war agreement between the Song, Jinxia and the Three Kingdoms, in triplicate, and the tripartite seal came into effect. I hope that the three countries will maintain peace and restore peace to the people of the world. The two envoys sat down for the time being. Emperor Zhao Gou said.

Someone was already waiting aside, bringing pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the fragrant ink had already been inked, Li Gang asked people to unfold the decree, settle down, write the agreement in one go, submit it to Zhao Gou for review, and then pass it to Wanyan Zongfu and Li Changyou for review.

Seeing that it was all agreed upon, they had no objection, so they copied two more copies, and the three parties took out the big seals and stamped them all, and each of the three parties held a copy.

Zhao Gou said: "Okay, the three parties have kept this agreement, and I hope that the two of you will hand over the property as soon as possible, and I will send the prisoners of your country to the border pass, and pay the money with one hand and the people with the other." Tonight, I will hold a grand banquet for the two of you, and I wish the Three Kingdoms to become good friends from now on! ”

Wanyan Zongfu thought to himself, isn't it embarrassing for us to participate in your banquet as the loser and watch your various celebrations. He said: "Your Majesty Emperor Xie Da Song, since the agreement has been decided, this king should return to Beijing immediately, report to our emperor, prepare a ransom, and welcome my Dajin disciples back to China as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Gou said: "It's okay, the third prince is like an arrow, then go back first, I will send the fourth prince and King Wanyan Zongxian, as well as 40,000 noble troops to the border later." Zhao Gou said to Li Changyou again: "What about General Li? ”

"Since General Wanyan went back first, it would be lonely for me to stay here alone, so I might as well resign." Lee Chang-woo said.

"It's a pity that I can't have a good conversation with the two generals." Zhao Gou said, "Li Aiqing, Qu Aiqing, please send two generals for me." ”

Li Changyou thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, this king wants to borrow your treasure land, and he also signed an agreement with the third prince by the way." "Li Changyou is the younger brother of the Western Xia Emperor, and was named the king of Xiazhou, because he leads the troops all the year round, so he is often called a general, and the title of the king is less.

Emperor Zhao Gou knew that Western Xia would not send troops to attack the Song Dynasty for no reason, and there was a way that there was no profit and no benefit, and Western Xia did not dare to take the risk of uniting the Jin State to the south. Zhao Gou said: "It's easy to say, the side hall next to it is." ”

Wanyan Zongfu snorted and went to the side hall with Li Changyou. After two teas, the two came out before and after. Li Changyou arched his hand and said: "Thank you to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I can't hide it, I asked Brother Wanyan for the land of Yunzhou and Shuozhou in Yanyun, which can be regarded as a small compensation for my Western Xia." ”

Wanyan Zongfu snorted again, and said in his heart, sooner or later, I will have to take back the territory that belongs to my Dajin. He said, "It's not too early, and the king should leave it at that." ”

Li Gang walked over and said, "Please!" Then he went out with Wanyan Sosuke.

Seeing them walk away, Qu Ping took Li Changyou and his party to bid farewell to the emperor. Out of the hall, Qu Ping said that I have prepared a BMW for you outside the door, and Li Changyou instructed the people around him to lead the horse first. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one left and right, Li Changyou said: "I don't know if what General Qu said before can make me lose 1.5 million taels in Daxia?" ”

"A gentleman's words are naturally taken seriously." Qu Ping said, "General Li helped me knock on the side of Yan Zongfu, this 1.5 million taels is considered a meeting gift for the general, and I hope that there will be more exchanges and cooperation between the two countries in the future." ”

It turned out that Qu Ping had secretly contacted Li Changyou a long time ago and persuaded him that as long as he helped the Great Song Dynasty to fight for as many interests as possible in the Jin Kingdom, he could return the favor to Western Xia. Li Changyou lived up to his expectations and persuaded Yan Zongfu to make up his mind to cede the realm of Yanyun Six Prefectures.

Li Changyou said: "To each his own master." ”

Qu Ping said: "Xixia is originally from the Great Song Dynasty, how can you say that we are all a family, isn't it?" ”

Li Changyou was not easy to pick up this stubble, and said: "Who can tell the historical situation." After this king returns, he should wholeheartedly assist my emperor, govern the country and the people, and do not raise troops in chaos. It is hoped that the two countries will be able to enjoy peace and tranquility in the future, which will benefit the country and the people. ”

"That's what I'm hoping for." Qu Ping said that at this time, Li Changyou's people led the horse over, "Then don't pass it for the time being, there will be a period later!" ”

"There will be a date later! The king will pay the ransom as soon as possible. Leave! After Li Changyou finished speaking, he got on his horse and walked away without looking back.

Looking at Li Changyou disappearing outside the Honglu Temple, Qu Ping turned around and returned to the hall, Zhao Gou said Why did you come back so soon.

Qu Ping said that Li Changyou is his own person, so he doesn't need to be so polite.

Zhao Gou said: "Why is Li Changyou his own person? ”

"Not now, probably in the future." Qu Ping explained, "The minister communicated with him many times in advance, and he also helped us successfully persuade Yan Zongfu to return Yanyun Liuzhou, and secretly helped us make a great contribution." The minister made the decision without authorization, exempted him from 1.5 million silver, and asked the emperor to punish him. ”

Zhao Gou said: "It turns out that there are still these things in secret, Qu Aiqing is really well-intentioned. One and a half million is more than enough to buy Yanyun Liuzhou, I don't blame you! ”

Qu Ping said: "Emperor Xie." In addition, the minister thinks that Li Changyou is not mentally strong, and we can get in the way and separate Li Changyou from the Western Xia Emperor. and then wait for the opportunity to help Li Changyou, hoping to reclassify Western Xia into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"Good! If this happens, Aiqing will be a patriotic hero through the ages! Zhao Gou raised his hands in agreement.

"Heroes of the ages dare not be. The minister has sent capable spies to infiltrate the Western Xia, release rumors, damage Li Changyou's reputation, and bribe the powerful ministers of the Western Xia, saying that he is not in the court. ”

Zhao Gou was overjoyed and praised: "It's not just my Han Xin, it's my Zhang Liang!" If I can get the assistance of Qing, I will be able to do a vigorous and great deed! ”

"The emperor has a good reputation. If there is a wise emperor, there will be virtuous and loyal ministers like ministers. Qu Ping said modestly.

Zhao Gou said: "Jinxia's compensation adds up to nine million taels of silver, which should make a big difference." My Great Song Dynasty's current annual financial income is 70 million, excluding salaries, raising soldiers, disaster relief, etc., and the remaining 10 million a year is about 10 million. Now that we don't have to give people New Year's gifts, we should have a better life in the future. ”

Qu Ping said: "How is the emperor going to use the nine million compensation? ”

According to the meaning, a special bank for military families was set up, which was called consolation silver, which was used to compensate and comfort military families and give them a greater sense of belonging. In the future, a part of the tax will be taken out every year and put into the consolation silver. ”

"Emperor Shengming, in this way, the people of the world will definitely strive to be soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Haha, I want to reopen the peaceful and prosperous era of the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Gouhao said, "I will draft an order tomorrow to order Zong Ze to escort the Jinxia captives to the border in two ways, waiting for delivery. In addition, Liu Guangshi and Yue Fei were ordered to take over the old land to the north and strengthen the garrison. After this war, the Jin country may not be able to fight again within two years, and we must also find opportunities to strengthen military and civilian development. Or do you make another great contribution, say, what reward do you want me to give you? ”
