Chapter 578: The Golden Envoy Provocation
Yang Congyi smiled bitterly at this, shook his head and said nothing, how could the other party know about his difficulties.
Asked about the attitude of the palace and the imperial court towards the Jin people, Sun Miao told him that the battle between the court and the upper and lower levels of the war and the dispute has not yet been resolved, but the famous marshal Liu Qi has returned to military power, and the Zhenjiang Prefecture is under the control of the capital, and Taiping Prefecture and Yangzhou are also forbidden to garrison the army. At the same time, the imperial court also sent envoys to the north to confirm that the two countries could negotiate a peace treaty, and that if there was no war, the two countries would always be better, and it would be the best.
Yang Congyi was quite speechless about this, at this time, he was still thinking about peace, would Wan Yanliang agree to peace?
In the small talk with Sun Miao, he also got a message, and he heard the messenger who came back say that Jin Guo had the intention of moving the capital to Bianjing, and the specific time was undecided. It was for this reason that the news that the Jin people who flew from the north like snowflakes were reorganizing their armaments in Bianjing was not taken seriously by the imperial court, and in their opinion, it was natural for the Jin State to move its capital to Bianjing, and it was natural to gather troops in Bianjing, and there was no need to worry too much about it.
Yang Congyi left Lin'an for more than half a year, but he didn't expect that to this day, the imperial court is still fantasizing about peace between the two countries, and isn't it just to make it easier for Jin to move the capital to Bianjing to attack Lin'an?
He didn't believe that so many people in the court couldn't see the ambition of the Jin State, but so far, the imperial court still did not actively prepare for war, but only symbolically deployed a little force along the Yangtze River, there must be some irresistible reason for this, what it is, he doesn't want to explore.
After meeting Sun Miao, Yang Congyi drank with other officials, and the information about the Jin Kingdom in Lin'an City was mostly based on legends, and he couldn't hear much definite news, so he returned to Huiyi and assisted Lu You in doing some things about Huiyi procurement.
The imperial court has not made any major moves recently, and it seems that everyone is preparing to celebrate the Tianshen Festival, and the festive atmosphere in Lin'an City is becoming more and more intense as the Tianshen Festival approaches.
Tianshen Festival is also the birthday of Emperor Zhao Gou, and the Jin Kingdom will send envoys to celebrate every year, and this year is no exception.
When the Tianshen Festival was approaching, Gao Jingshan, the envoy of the Jin State, arrived at Lin'an City with the delegation, and the court treated him with the courtesy of the guests, and arranged to stay in the hotel, only to wait for the day of the Tianshen Festival, in front of the civil and military officials, he congratulated the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in person.
Two days later, on May 21, the 31st year of Shaoxing, on the day of the Tianshen Festival, Gao Jingshan, accompanied by the accompanying envoy, entered the palace with a congratulatory watch.
Daqing Palace.
Zhao Gougao sat on the royal couch in the hall, and hundreds of civil and military officials were lined up left and right.
After the hundred officials congratulated in unison, they all turned their eyes to Gao Jingshan, the golden envoy standing in the hall holding a congratulatory watch.
However, Gao Jingshan stood in place, motionless, with a proud expression, and could not see the slightest intention of saluting and congratulating.
Chen Kangbo, the left minister, did not squint, and said coldly: "The golden envoy came to Lin'an thousands of miles away to congratulate the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but now he doesn't say a word, is it because he is not accustomed to the water and soil, or is he sick and has an unspeakable addiction?" If you are unwell, ask the doctor to treat you as soon as possible, so that you can return to the north safely. ”
Zhao Gou sat on the imperial couch, his face was calm as usual, and he had no expectations.
I saw that after Gao Jingshan heard Chen Kangbo's words, he turned his head to look at him, and then picked up the congratulatory watch in his hand, and said loudly: "King Zhao of Song, go down to the palace to receive the order!" ”
When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they were shocked, and even if someone said something to reprimand the other party for being rude.
The golden envoy Gao Jingshan held the congratulatory watch, but he was unmoved, and looked at the indignant civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty with mocking eyes.
The face on Zhao Gou's face changed slightly, no one had called him by name for many years, let alone publicly shouted in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, this matter was really unheard of!
Just as the left minister Chen Kangbo was about to step forward and scold the other party angrily, the right minister Zhu Zhuo, who was standing on the side, took the lead and took a step forward.
I only heard him say in a loud voice: "The congratulatory letter sent by the golden envoy has always been accepted by Zai Fu on his behalf, and if the golden envoy is unwilling to congratulate him personally, give me the congratulatory table." After speaking, he raised his hands and palms upward, and stretched out in front of the other party, trying to take the congratulatory watch from the other party's hand.
-Who knew that the golden envoy Gao Jingshan accepted the congratulatory watch in his hand, and smiled very arrogantly: "This is something that Emperor Dajin gave to Song nephew Zhao Gou, what qualifications do you have to accept it on your behalf?" Do you want to be the king of Song? ”
The words "you ......" made the right prime minister Zhu Zhuo speechless in humiliation.
From the perspective of the peace treaty between the two countries, the emperors of the Song and Jin dynasties were indeed uncles and nephews, and not only Zhu Zhuo could not refute it, but no one in the Manchu Dynasty could refute it.
"Since the Song and Jin countries signed an alliance 20 years ago, they have been living in peace for 20 years, and they have been in peace with each other, and the congratulatory letter sent by the Jin envoy has always been accepted by the courtiers, and the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is the same as the emperor of the Jin State, how can the congratulatory letter be accepted in person, please don't break the routine on this festive day, and cast a haze on the relationship between the two countries!"
After Zhu Zhuo finished speaking, he raised his hands respectfully again, performed a national salute, and prepared to accept the other party's congratulatory table.
"Hahaha......" Gao Jingshan laughed when he heard this, and did not shy away from the resentful gaze of the civil and military forces of the Great Song Dynasty, and then smiled: "Since you want to take the holy metaphor for King Song, then take it!" ”
After speaking, put the congratulatory watch in the other person's hand.
However, when Zhu Zhuo just took the congratulatory watch in his hand, and before he presented it to Zhao Gou, he heard Gao Jingshan laugh loudly: "I forgot to tell you, this is not the birthday greeting table given by the Dajin Emperor to the King of Song, but it is better than the congratulatory watch, and there is a happy event among them, I might as well tell you that everyone is happy and happy together, and this happy event is the death of Zhao Huan, the prince of Tianshui County." I might as well tell you that when he was playing polo in Yanjing for five years, he accidentally fell under the horse, was trampled to death by a random horse, and when the horses were dispersed, he was trampled into a pulp. However, this is good news for you Song Kingdom! ”
Without waiting for Gao Jingshan to finish speaking, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including the emperor, all changed their faces greatly, gritted their teeth, and their eyes widened angrily, eager to bite to death on the spot.
But the civil and military officials are all people who know etiquette and understand etiquette, even if they resent each other in the court, it is impossible to be rude, and Zhao Huan of Qinzong is the emperor of the previous dynasty, it is impossible for them to show loyalty to Zhao Huan in front of Zhao Gou, because they just look at each other angrily, but no one speaks to cry out for Zhao Huan.
Gao Jingshan turned his head and glanced at the Great Song Qunchen, and then asked again defiantly, "What?" Tianshui County Duke Zhao Huan was trampled into mud by a horse, isn't it good news for you, isn't it a happy event? ”
Chen Kangbo's face was flushed, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhu Zhuo with his eyes.
After a few breaths, I only heard Zhao Gou ask a little sadly: "Since my brother died unexpectedly, can Jin Guo return his bones?" ”
Gao Jingshan thought for a while and replied seriously: "I'm afraid I won't be able to send Lin'an, we forgot to bury it in that small ditch, after so many years, where can we still find it." ”
After speaking, there was another sigh: "Alas, it was really miserable back then, even the bones were broken!" ”
Everyone looked at the vicious and provocative golden envoy, all of them were about to explode, but in front of Zhao Gou, they couldn't vent.
The civil and military officials were speechless, and gradually their faces sank like water, Zhao Gou's face was ugly, and he seemed to be restless on the imperial couch.
After a few breaths of silence in the court, Gao Jingshan suddenly laughed loudly again: "In addition to this happy event, there is also a great happy event, which is a happy event for my Dajin Kingdom, and it is also a happy event for your Song Kingdom, we will move the capital to Bianjing in September this year!" ”
As soon as these words came out, it was undoubtedly a bigger thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the faces of the hundreds of officials above the court suddenly changed greatly, and there were many discussions, and there was a mess.
Zhao Gou was shocked by this, and he couldn't help but move his body, and his face became even more ugly.
The officials had long heard that the Jin State was going to move the capital, but they had all heard the legend before, and now they heard the Jin envoy come out in person, and the shock level can be imagined, because Bianjing is too close to Lin'an!
"Ahem! Cough! Gao Jingshan coughed dryly twice, suppressed the voice of the hundred officials, and then said with a smile: "It is a great joy for my Dajin Kingdom to move its capital to Bianjing in September this year, before August 25, you have to send someone to Bianjing to meet the emperor of my Dajin Kingdom, in order to celebrate the relocation of the capital of Dajin Kingdom, you must send at least four officials to Bianjing to listen to the holy words, among the four there must be a prime minister, a Taiwei, a close attendant of the Song Dynasty, and an official who is familiar with the geography of the mountains and rivers in the Jianghuai region." ”
"Jin Guo moved the capital, and the Great Song Dynasty will send people to celebrate, but the prime minister and the captain have no reason to go together!" Zhu Zhuo regained his composure and replied in a cold voice.
Who knew that Gao Jingshan smiled and said: "Emperor Dajin asked you to send the prime minister and the Taiwei to Bianjing to greet you, so naturally there is a reason to greet you." I might as well first tell you a little bit about the news of the Holy Yu, my Dajin Emperor Holy Yu, the Yangtze River and the Han River have always belonged to the Central Plains, and the Central Plains Dynasty ruled, and now my Dajin Kingdom rules the hinterland of the Central Plains, which is orthodox in the Central Plains, and the Yangtze River and the Han River are still in the hands of the Song Dynasty, which is really unreasonable, after the Jin State moved its capital to Bianjing, the Jin and Song dynasties should be bounded by the Yangtze River, the south of the Yangtze River belongs to you, and the north of the Yangtze River belongs to Dajin, and the land of the Central Plains must be unified. ”
This news was like a thunderbolt, blasting in the court!
The civil and military officials were stunned for a while, and this news that shocked the court made them speechless in an instant.
Gao Jingshan looked around at the people in the hall, and then said in a loud voice: "By the way, I would like to remind you, if at the end of August, before Emperor Dajin arrived in Bianjing, the four officials of the Song State did not arrive in Bianjing as scheduled, or did not deliver the land in Jiangbei in time, to celebrate Dajin's relocation of the capital to Bianjing, in early September, my Emperor Dajin will personally lead a million troops to hunt south of the Yangtze River!" ”
One after another explosions made everyone dizzy, and after understanding the other party's purpose, their hearts were suddenly terrified.
"After the Tianshen Festival, we are waiting for your news in Bianjing. Everyone, do it for yourself! ”
After Gao Jingshan finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the silent civil and military officials and emperors in the Great Song Dynasty, turned around and walked away.
went straight out of the palace, and on the same day, Gao Jingshan left Lin'an with the Jin delegation and quickly returned north.
