Chapter 786: A Surprising Reply
Deputy envoy Tang Ke, the word Qinsuo, Song Yuhang Qiantang people. He lost his father at the age of 4, and then ascended to the first place in the shadow of his father, and was a Jinshi in the first year of Zhezong Shaosheng, and successively served as the lieutenant of Chenxian County, the prefect of Yuci, and the magistrate of Changping in Hedong and Jiangdong Transport.
After the Jin army invaded the south, the Song government and the opposition were shaken, and Tang Ke, Li Bangyan and Geng Nanzhong and other ministers strongly advocated peace negotiations, advocating the abandonment of the three towns to seek peace, opposing and squeezing out the main battle faction in the DPRK and China.
Compared with Li Bangyan and Tang Ke, the future of another deputy envoy, Li Gang, is now a little bad.
Li Gang was reused during the invasion of the Jin soldiers, first as Taichang Shaoqing, and then as the imperial envoy of the four walls of the capital, leading the forbidden army of Tokyo City to defend.
After Emperor Huizong ascended the throne and Zhao Huan of Qinzong, Li Gangshuai's army returned to Beijing and was responsible for the defense of Tokyo City. However, because Li Gang resolutely opposed the request for peace with the Jin land, when the Jin State withdrew its troops, he was attacked by the ministers of the Yihe faction, and was dismissed by Qinzong soon after.
This time, Li Gang was sent to the empire to negotiate peace, and it was also because the military and civilians of Tokyo City and the ministers and generals of the main war faction were dissatisfied with the dismissal of Li Gang by the imperial court, and they protested angrily everywhere.
Li Bangyan, Tang Ke and Li Gang bent down to salute the emperor Li Nan, who was sitting upright on the dragon chair on the high platform.
Li Nan was not picky about their etiquette, but looked at the three Song envoys in the palace with a smile on his face, and said knowingly: "What are you doing here in my Chinese Empire?" ”
Li Bangyan replied respectfully: "The emperor is above, and he can't hide it. We are here today on the orders of Emperor Qinzong of the Song Kingdom, for the peace of the two countries and the well-being of the people. ”
"Hahahaha......"
Li Nan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and the imperial civil and military ministers standing on both sides of the Jinluan Hall also burst into laughter at the same time, their laughter full of contempt and disdain.
"You pigs and dogs are inferior to things! I, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, thought that he was of the same origin as the Song State, and he also took pity on the people of the Song State, so he sent troops to help your country resist the invasion of the Jin soldiers. Unexpectedly, you didn't want to resist the Jin soldiers, but instead pursued the expeditionary force of our empire with all your might, so that the Jin soldiers captured Taiyuan City and took advantage of the situation to attack your imperial capital Tokyo City. ”
Needless to say, Spartacus, the fierce imperial general, stepped forward, pointed at Li Bangyan and the others and scolded loudly: "Now what kind of face do you have to come to our empire and talk about peace?" What are you talking about the well-being of the people? ”
In any case, the Song State cannot deny what happened not long ago, and it can be said that it was the hatred of the Chinese Empire that led to the Song State's abandonment of the Jin State's Western Route Army, and finally caused the evil result of the destruction of Taiyuan City and the siege of the imperial capital Tokyo City by the Jin soldiers.
After Spartacus finished scolding, Li Bangyan and Tang Ke were okay, they were civil servants who had the ability to spit on their own faces, and Li Gang, who had been ordered to pursue the Imperial Expeditionary Force, had a difficult face.
The king of a country has his own mind and bearing, Spartacus can scold the envoys, but Li Nan can't be as wanton as him.
Looking at the three envoys in the palace, Li Nan thought of the elite soldiers of the empire who died in the Song Realm, and his mood also became bad, and he immediately waved his hand and said: "You Song Kingdom has done unforgivable things, so there is no peace between our two countries, don't waste your lips and tongues, let's go back quickly." ”
Hearing that Emperor Li Nan issued an order to expel guests, Li Bangyan, who was on a mission, hurriedly said: "The world has the way of Yao Shun, and filial piety is just that." The scripture says: Filial piety is to the gods, light is in the four seas, and everything is all-encompassing. Song Guoqin Zonggui is the son of heaven, only the father is respected, and he has to give birth to the gift of life, and the joy of the world is not to be added. Although the two countries are at war today, His Majesty Qinzong wants to bow to Yao Shun's filial piety and do his best to serve his relatives......"
Although Li Bangyan has the name of a bad minister, but this person's eloquence and writing are outstanding, this time in this imperial palace in the Jinluan Palace, in front of the emperor Li Nan and many imperial courtiers said a touching and heartfelt speech.
These words quote scriptures, talking about the sky, full of strong father-son family love, but there are no stupid people in the palace, except for Spartacus and other generals who can't understand the meaning, the rest of the people instantly understood the thoughts of Zhao Huan of the Song State Qinzong.
Just as the imperial ministers wanted to use Huizong Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, the emperor of the Song State who now lives in Tokyo City, is most worried not about the Jin State in the north, but about his father who fell into the hands of the Empire.
The Song monarchs and ministers were very clever in this move, they knew that the empire would not give up Huizong Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Song state, in this case, so they skillfully turned the matter into a father-son filial piety, and put the empire on the moral level.
If the empire is unwilling to release Huizong Zhao Ji, then the empire and Emperor Li Nan will fall into a reputation for not caring about family filial piety.
The monarchs and ministers of the Song State were good enough, but the imperial ministers were not stupid, and when they learned that the peace mission had arrived, the ministers had already discussed the countermeasures.
Li Nan was noncommittal on this matter, but said to Li Bangyan and others in the palace: "Since this matter is related to Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Song State and the abbot of the Song Kingdom, then please ask him to come here in person to give you an answer?" ”
The proposal of "uh......" made Li Bangyan and the others stunned, they never expected that Li Nan would let Zhao Ji show up.
It didn't take long for Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Song Kingdom, Cai You, Tong Guan, Wang Hao and others to come to the Jinluan Palace.
For Tang Ke and Li Gang, these captured monarchs and ministers of the Song State did not have much ill feeling, but for Li Bangyan, who was originally a favorite of Huizong and one of the six thieves, it was different.
Zhao Ji glanced at Li Bangyan with angry eyes, then turned his head, but Cai You sneered at him: "Hehehe, Li Shimei, it seems that you are not only okay, but also promoted and made a fortune." ”
Li Bangyan is now on the hook with Qinzong, so he doesn't take Cai You and the others in his eyes, and immediately clasps his fists and sarcastically: "It's easy to say, at least I'm still free." ”
Li Bangyan originally intended to prick the hearts of Cai You, Tong Guan and others, but he forgot that his previous master, Huizong Zhao Ji, was also here.
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ji suddenly snorted coldly, and asked Li Nan with a face as cold as ice, "I don't know what I was calling here for?" ”
Li Nan pointed to Li Bangyan and the others in the hall: "These three envoys from the Song Kingdom want to welcome you back to the Song Kingdom, because this matter is related to you, so I specially asked about your wishes." ”
Zhao Ji asked, "If I say I want to go, can I go?" ”
"Yes!" Li Nan did not hesitate to give an unexpected answer in public.
The words of the emperor are generally called Chrysostom, in addition to referring to the noble status of the person who speaks, but also the meaning of the words cannot be changed.
Hearing Li Nan's reply, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be stunned, but then his heart was filled with joy and sorrow.
Huizong Zhao Ji was happy that he could be free, but sad that he seemed to be in the eyes of the empire and Emperor Li Nan.
