…

The palace is still the original palace, and the palace is still the original palace, but not only the emperor has changed, but even the dynasty has changed.

Walking on the familiar road, Zhao Mingcheng and other Song envoys had a sense of "things are people" in their hearts!

With Wang Jieru coming to the Chongzheng Palace, Zhao Mingcheng and other Song envoys looked around, and saw that there were hundreds of people standing in the hall at this time.

Directly above the main hall sat a person in a yellow dragon robe, who was not angry and arrogant, and his body was shrouded in a domineering spirit.

There is no need to ask, Zhao Mingcheng and others also know that that person must be Li Yan, the emperor of Dazhong, who has captured Goryeo, destroyed the Liao State, recovered Yanyun, crushed Japan, expanded the territory of Central and Southern China, and painted the map into the Western Heavens, and now won the title of the Central Plains.

But—

Because he was too far away, and Zhao Mingcheng's eyes were not very good, he couldn't see Li Yan's appearance clearly.

As Wang Jieru entered the palace, Zhao Mingcheng and other Song envoys saw many familiar faces, such as Tang Ke, the former prime minister of Zhao and Song, He Su, the former prime minister of Zhao and Song, and Lu Haowen, the former secretary of the Zhao and Song military departments, and so on......

Although the official uniforms worn by these people are not as good as before, many of them are still in high positions, such as Tang Ke is still one of the governors, Wang Shiyong is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and He Su is the deputy envoy of the three departments.

Speaking of He Su, it is said that after He Su was rescued, he had a hunger strike for seven days, and he had the will to die, and later, Li Yan regretted He Su's talents, personally went to see He Su, and talked with He Su for two hours before He Su drank rice porridge, and after recovery, he served as the deputy envoy of the third division to assist Jiang Jing in managing the world's wealth.

At the beginning, most of the remnants of the Northern Song Dynasty are now officials in Dazhong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that nearly half of the officials in the palace must be officials of the original Zhao and Song dynasties.

Of course, there are also some who are not there, such as Zhang Shuye, Sima Pu and others, who are not among them.

Zhao Mingcheng couldn't help but think: "At the beginning, if I hadn't gone south, would I have been among them?" ”

Not long after, Zhao Mingcheng followed Wang Jieru to the palace, and then Wang Jieru saluted Li Yan and said: "Report to Your Majesty, the minister has brought the Song envoy." ”

Zhao Mingcheng then led a group of Song envoys to Li Yan and said, "Foreign ministers and others will meet Your Majesty!" ”

Li Yan said: "No courtesy. ”

Zhao Mingcheng waited for the Song envoy to hear this, straightened up, and then looked at Li Yan - they wanted to see what kind of person who had repeatedly created a legend and now became the emperor of a great country and forced them to desperately seek peace, but he had three heads and six arms?

But at this glance, Zhao Mingcheng's pupils suddenly shrank, and he was secretly shocked: "It's him!" - Zhao Mingcheng recognized it at once, Li Yan was the young man who accompanied Li Qingzhao that day!

It's no wonder that Zhao Mingcheng recognized Li Yanlai at a glance.

First of all, Li Yan's temperament is there, which is impressive.

Secondly, Who doesn't pay attention to a strange man next to their wife?

Zhao Mingcheng muttered in his heart: "How could he be Li Yan?" Li Yan is now thirty-five or sixteen, how can he be so young? Also, how did he appear next to my lady? ”

At this moment, the deputy envoy touched Zhao Mingcheng without a trace behind him.

Zhao Mingcheng reacted at this time and almost lost his sense of proportion and missed the big event, and then hurriedly bowed: "When the foreign ministers came, the king of my family said to us that Dazhong and the Great Song Dynasty are both countries dominated by Han people, and they should not kill each other, and teach foreign clans to take advantage of the situation, and turn hostility into jade silk, coexist peacefully, and even resist foreign invasions together, so please ask Your Majesty to be gracious and allow the king of my family to be the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and the two families will always be married and will not invade each other......"

Li Yan listened to it and said: "I and your King Kang are not outsiders, if you study it carefully, I am still his father, father and son, there is nothing negotiable." ”

As soon as Li Yan said this, many ministers couldn't help but chuckle, but Zhao Mingcheng and others were ashamed, but they didn't dare to argue.

There is a limit to everything, and it is too much.

It's okay to laugh at Zhao Gou for a few words to suppress Song Envoy's arrogance, it's too much, it's boring, and it also seems that he is a child, and it may backfire.

Therefore, Li Yan said again: "You have come from afar, you might as well stay for a few more days, as for the matter of peace, you can go to Shaozai Zhao Ding's mansion to discuss it slowly." ”

After that, Li Yan rewarded Zhao Mingcheng and others with a lot of gold silk, soap, spices and other things, and then asked Wang Jieru to take them down.

……

After leaving the palace, Wang Jieru sighed with emotion: "Your King Kang has a good mother!" ”

Zhao Mingcheng and the other Song envoys couldn't help but feel a little tired when they heard this, but in order to take care of the overall situation, Zhao Mingcheng still pinched his nose and asked, "Why did Lord Wang say this?" ”

Wang Jieru said: "Do you know that General Yang Yizhong and General Wang Yan wrote to the official family yesterday, saying that they oppose the proposal for peace, and they are willing to make a military order to destroy your Southern Song Dynasty in three months?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng exclaimed: "Is there such a thing? ”

Wang Jieru said: "You still don't know, two days ago, General Yang Yizhong defeated your Song general Liu Guangshi in Huaixi, and almost crossed the Yangtze River in one fell swoop. ”

The reason why the Southern Song Dynasty wanted to negotiate peace was mainly because they were afraid that the 100,000 elites in the hands of Wang Yan and Wuyan would go south!

If that's the case, it's really possible to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop!

But—

Wang Yan and the 100,000 army in Wang Yan's hands are also the only elite and only firefighting team in Dazhong at present, once Hedong or Yandi is in need, they will immediately go to reinforcements, if Yang Yizhong in the south is hit hard, they have to go to reinforce Yang Yizhong.

In addition, Wang Yan and the 100,000 army in Wang Yan's hands also shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the Beijing Division - in addition to the 100,000 army, the Beijing Division only has the Tabai Army and some auxiliary troops, such as the guard army, the communication army, the amphibious army, etc., and the total strength is more than 30,000.

Therefore, it is impossible for Wang Yan and the 100,000 troops in Wang Yan's hands to be easily mobilized.

However, this did not prevent Wang Jieru from using Wang Yan and Wang Yan's 100,000 army to scare Zhao Mingcheng.

Zhao Mingcheng is a literati and not a military general, and he doesn't know how to fight at all, so he doesn't know the powerful relationship between this, so he said: "Fortunately, Your Majesty cares about the people in the world and doesn't want to start a war lightly!" ”

Wang Jieru said: "Lord Zhao really thinks that it is because the official family is unwilling to start a war lightly that he agrees to negotiate peace with your Southern Song Dynasty?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?" ”

Wang Jieru said: "The official family has fought all his life, from the west to the east, and from the south to the north, and then crossed the sea to conquer the central and southern regions, and now he has pacified the Central Plains. ”

"This ......"

Thinking of Li Yan's war history, Zhao Mingcheng also did not believe that Li Yan was a person who was unwilling to start a war lightly.

Wang Jieru said: "I just said, it is your King Kang who has a good mother, I heard that she begged bitterly in front of the official family, and there were Concubine Xing Kang and others on the side to help and plead, and the official family let you go in the Southern Song Dynasty." ”

After listening to Wang Jieru's words, Zhao Mingcheng and other Song envoys were all tired!

Seeing this, Wang Jieru said: "I know what you think in your hearts, but this is a major matter related to the life and death of your Southern Song Dynasty, and you must not be stupid because of a few women." ”

While saying this, Wang Jieru glanced at Zhao Mingcheng meaningfully!

When Zhao Mingcheng saw this, he was puzzled at first, but soon he thought of the scene where Li Yan and Li Qingzhao stood together that day, and then thought: "That slut shouldn't have gotten together with Li Yan's traitor to give me a green hat, right?" ”
