In negotiations, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan no longer have any room for bargaining, and among the courtiers who discussed with Xiao Tang along with the second emperor, it seems that most of them also have the idea that a gentleman will not stand under the dangerous wall, and are inclined to accept Xiao Tang's proposal.

What's more, the conditions put forward by Xiao Tang are very simple: first, the imperial court issued an edict to give Xiao Tang the power to set up his own marshal office as a commander to resist the invasion of the Jin army, and according to the needs of the war, he can set up his own official offices and officials after recovering the area occupied by the Jin army;

Second, in terms of finance, military merit, and military decision-making and command, the establishment of the Shuai Si Office did not have to be controlled by the imperial court, and the foreign invasion of the Jin Dynasty in the north involved the life and death of the Central Plains, which was similar to the situation in the early Song Dynasty when the imperial court ordered the Zhi family to guard the frontier to screen China inside and Yi Di outside.

Third, at first, the Song court was either used to compensate for peace, or the Jin army captured the teaching workshop musicians, skilled craftsmen, huge amounts of money and grain, literary books and maps, treasures and artifacts, war horses and ordnance...... and all the prisoners' materials, whether they were used to help the victims when they returned to Bianjing, or as military supplies for the righteous army, were also handled by Xiao Tang's troops and horses.

Xiao Tang's condition was nothing more than that the imperial court would recognize that he could establish an autonomous force with many similarities with the Han and Wei sect lords, the Tang dynasty feudal towns, and the Japanese shogunate for the rebel army under his command. In fact, after King Kang Zhao Gou fled south to establish the Southern Song Dynasty regime in the official history, he issued an edict saying: Hebei Zhaofu, Hedong Economic System and Pacification and other envoys can all be set up to set up generals and subordinates, and the generals of the five armies and the imperial camp division are also large and small envoys...... Due to the frequent wars with the Jin army, the Song army's commander-in-chief office had to expand the military power functions and cheap officials of the Song army, which was fighting on the front line. It was only due to the influence of events such as the Miaoliu Mutiny and the Huaixi Military Mutiny that Zhao Gou began to tend to negotiate peace with the Jin State again, and became more and more jealous of the military generals' self-respect, and began to deprive Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and other anti-Jin commanders of the military power.

It's just that the autonomy authority of the Shuai Si Mansion that Xiao Tang asked Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan for is a feudal system that the imperial court can easily remove without saying that it can be dismissed.

Compared with negotiating with those Jin Army Tartars who have to make inches and are difficult to fill, these conditions offered by Xiao Tang are extremely fair and reasonable, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan are overjoyed, how can they not allow it? Although the two emperors were mediocre, the courtiers who negotiated with Xiao Tang and even Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, Li Zhu, Zhu Wu, Chai Jin, Chao Gai and other leaders were not mediocre talents who were dizzy due to the urgency of the situation, and some of them realized that once the imperial court set this precedent, it would be equivalent to allowing Xiao Tang not only to no longer be the leader of the anti-army who was inseparable from the Song court, but could even legally expand his own private army and territory like the Tang Dynasty Zhenjiedu, and nominally subordinate to the imperial court. However, it is possible to disobey the dispatch of the officials, and if the war against the Jin State goes well, it is actually enough to establish its own independent kingdom.

However, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan hand-picked the courtiers who came to negotiate with Xiao Tang this time, and there were no hard-line civil servants who were known for their strong and paranoid temperament. It seems that he is also afraid of angering Xiao Tang at this juncture, so most of the courtiers who can sit at the negotiation table are still the lords and factions of the court when the Jin soldiers were in the capital of Bianjing, and one of them also attracted Xiao Tang's attention, that person is Yuwen Xuzhong, who is also nicknamed Longxi Jushi, and is now a scholar of the official residence of the Senior Political Palace.

It's just that although this Yuwen Xuzhong was also one of the main peace factions that advocated the imperial court to negotiate peace with the Jin State before, thinking that he could promote the enemy army on the condition of ceding the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian, Xiao Tang also knew very well that he was by no means the kind of incorruptible and shameless man, who did not hesitate to cede land and pay compensation for self-protection, and groveled to foreign enemies. Because it was this Yuwen Xuzhong who strongly opposed the betrayal of the alliance and the destruction of Liao, and bluntly said that the neighbor's house had entered the robbers, not only did he help the neighbors drive away the robbers, but also joined the robbers to occupy the neighbor's house. Since then, the neighbor has been replaced by a robber, how can his own family live in peace? And from the very beginning, he realized that the female Jin Kingdom would eventually become the real enemy of the Song Dynasty. Xiao Tang remembered that Yuwen Xuzhong could only be detained as an envoy to the Jin State in the official history, and simply stayed in the north to be reused by the Jin people, but in fact, he endured the humiliation and burden, and secretly sent his cronies to the Southern Song Dynasty to send a secret letter to inform the Jin State of the truth, but later he was killed, and more than 100 members of his family were also slaughtered......

As for the cause of Yuwenxuzhong's death, from the Southern Song Dynasty, Houxiaozong, Ningzong and several other emperors with the toughest attitude of the Jin State posthumously presented him with the title of Susu, the name of the temple and the name of Renyong, and the deeds of Shaobao and Zhao, Yuwen Xuzhong is really very likely to be exposed by Qin Hui when both the Song and Jin sides have "Infernal Affairs" and Zhao Gou deliberately murdered and was killed by the Jin State. At least for the moment, Xiao Tang can roughly deduce the concerns and thoughts in the heart of the Longxi monk in front of him.

The reason why Yuwen Xuzhong advocated peace with the Jin State at the beginning should be out of order to make the Great Song Dynasty court solve the imminent disaster, temporarily forbear the opportunity to breathe, and then try to confront the Jin State for a long time. The current situation is even more so, he seems to be considering that as long as the Zhao family and the Song court can be saved, all these conditions proposed by Xiao Tang can be met.

It's just that at the negotiation table, Yu Wenxu looked at Xiao Tang meaningfully, and still couldn't help asking: "Although Leader Xiao has made great contributions to saving and restoring the country, he just wants to do the affairs of the feudal town, and led the righteous division of Zhulu to the north to base Jin as the Great Song Ping Domain... And the leader of Xiao must also know that the five dynasties of the late Tang Dynasty had their own troops, and those who wanted to kill the gold thieves were in trouble, but the feudal towns were also enough to cause trouble...... If one day there is a time when the gold thief is in trouble, what is Leader Xiao's plan? ”

Facing Yuwen's tentative inquiry, Xiao Tang smiled calmly and replied: "Bachelor Yuwen, now we can open the skylight and say something bright, the Jin army's invasion of the Central Plains is an external disaster for the Song Dynasty, and I led the Zhulu Righteous Army to rebel against the imperial court, which was indeed an internal trouble for the imperial court. However, the situation in the Great Song Dynasty is erosive, the military strength is weak, and the disaster of social survival is just around the corner, but the military and political collapse of the imperial court is complete, and several warlike divisions of the Western Army have gone through the battles of La, Yanyun in the south of the Yangtze River...... Now that it has already been a big injury, when Jin Guo goes south again, what are the chances of winning?

The recruitment of troops in the feudal towns is conducive to the selection of strong and strong troops, but it violates the ancestral system of the Song Dynasty, but I have previously rebelled against the imperial court and set up a marshal office without restraint, so it is inevitable that the imperial court will not be suspicious, but if I am willing to accept recruitment, I am afraid that the imperial court will not tolerate me. Since we will be suspicious of the imperial court no matter what, my brothers and I still want to protect the Central Plains from being harmed by gold thieves, so it is better to give it a go, counterattack the foreign captives, and go straight to the hinterland of the Jin people. Therefore, it is imperative to recruit prisoners in the name of a feudal town, so as not to fight with the court and fight viciously, and at the same time to find a way out for me and my brothers. As for the time when one day the gold thief will be able to put an end to the trouble...... At present, it is just one step and one step, and then it is enough to take advantage of the situation. ”

Although Xiao Tang said ambiguously in the end, with the shrewdness and ability of Yuwen Xu, he immediately thought: The golden thief destroyed Liao and annexed the entire territory of the Northern Dynasty, but you, Xiao Tang, planned to counterattack the north, and Dai Jin set up another Northern Dynasty......

However, it has now been proved that the Great Song Dynasty with its smoky miasma alone will not be able to resist the momentum of the Jin army's invasion. Xu with the authority of an anti-thief autonomous domain, although it is incredible, but the second emperor and all the royal heirs were almost taken captive and enslaved by the Jin army, and all generations of the Central Plains have never experienced such a great shame, but isn't it even more unbelievable to the world?

Xiao Tang was a traitor and a thief, and he was not very loyal to the Song court, but it was obvious that he would never want to see the Jurchen Tatars encroach on the troubled Central Plains, even if he was ambitious, it was possible to replace the Liao and Jin in the Kaiyuan Dynasty and become a neighbor to the north of the Song court. Now that Song Ting has gained time to breathe, and can use the original disaster to fight against another greater threat, the expedient measure for the rest of his life, where is there any choice?

Yuwen thought of this, and looked at the two emperors Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, who seemed to be unable to wait to agree to the conditions offered by Xiao Tang, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "The minister thinks that the power of the gold thief is huge, and the country is in danger of being destroyed, and the leader of Xiao and all the righteous people under his command have made meritorious contributions to the rescue, and they are willing to contribute to the country, so that they can pardon the crimes of the old knowledge, and they should also order the head of Xiao to set up the Marshal Mansion, and the army generals under the command of the subordinates will ambush the gold thieves, so that this generation of righteous people can make meritorious contributions and use them in the country, which is really beneficial." ”
