Several eunuchs had left, but Zhao Chen and Wang De were still standing there.

Both of them had unbelievable expressions on their faces, especially Zhao Chen, history clearly records that the Jin soldiers surrounded Kaifeng, Kaifeng City was broken, and the shame of Jingkang occurred! Why did Jin Bing send people to negotiate peace now?

Wang De also felt a little incredible, the Jin soldiers were so powerful, and the Great Song army was not an opponent at all! Although there were a lot of Qinwang armies in all parts of the Great Song Dynasty, and there were forbidden armies in Kaifeng City and the surrounding cities, it was impossible for these armies to defeat the Jin army! For Jin Bing, they don't need to negotiate peace at all! Could it be that the Jin soldiers lacked the strength to do so, or that something big had happened in the Jin country, so they stopped the pace of the campaign and demanded peace? There are these possibilities! Or did Jin Bing have no ambition to destroy the Song Dynasty at all?

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what's wrong with you?" Wang De turned to look, but saw Zhao Chen sweating profusely.

"Vicious, Jin Bing is too vicious!" Zhao Chen said fiercely.

"Vicious?" Wang De was a little confused.

"I see, Jin Bing, this is a plan to boil frogs in warm water! What a plan, what a plan! Zhao Chen muttered.

"Boiled frogs in warm water, what's that?" Wang De said in surprise.

Boiling frogs in warm water was a famous experiment by scientists in the 19th century, and now in the Song Dynasty, there is no such thing as boiling frogs in warm water in the world.

"If a frog were tossed into boiling water, it would leap out as much as it could, and it might even get away with it! But if you throw a frog into warm water, it will swim leisurely in the water! The people below slowly raised the temperature of the water, and the frogs still didn't feel the danger! By the time the water began to boil, the frog knew something was wrong, but its body and mind were numb and it could no longer jump out! This is a boiled frog in warm water! Zhao Chen said.

"What does Your Highness mean?" Wang De said suspiciously.

"If the Jurchens' intention to destroy the country is revealed, my Great Song will naturally go all out to deal with them, this is like a frog in boiling water, trying his best to escape the catastrophe! But now the Jurchens say that they want to negotiate peace, not destroy the country! In fact, they negotiated peace in order to give us a glimmer of hope for the Great Song Dynasty, and make us believe that they only wanted to occupy some territory or obtain some property all the way south to paralyze us! Isn't this exactly what a frog boiled in warm water? Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen was a little shocked in his heart, he didn't expect the Jurchens to be so vicious! These Jurchens are barbarians, they don't even have words, they don't have any civilization or culture, they have only been rising for ten years, and now they have learned the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water, which is really amazing! He didn't know that these were all the strategies that the Xiaoyaozi taught to Wan Yan Zonghan! They used the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water to make the Great Song Dynasty relax their vigilance and give hope to the Great Song Dynasty, and when the last moment came, when the Great Song Dynasty wanted to resist, there was nothing they could do! When the time comes, they will be able to easily conquer Kaifeng City and complete the great cause of destroying the Song Dynasty!

That Xiaoyaozi is actually a famous figure in history, and if history remains unchanged, he will always play an important role! When Jin Wushu and Yue Fei fought, Jin Wushu was defeated, and Wushu wanted to withdraw from the Central Plains...... Since ancient times, there have been no powerful ministers, and generals can make contributions to outsiders", that scholar is Xiaoyaozi! It's just that he is a man in the rivers and lakes, and his name is not recorded in historical sources!

At this moment, Zhao Chen said this, but Wang De next to him seemed to understand it!

"I'm going to see my father, so that my father must not agree to negotiate peace with the Jurchens! It's a scam at all! Zhao Chen said.

At that moment, Zhao Chen left here and strode towards the Funing Palace! Only this time, he was intercepted before he came to the Funing Palace! Funing Hall is a place where the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and his courtiers discuss politics, and even the crown prince needs to be notified before he can pass!

At that moment, someone went to inform Song Qinzong, and in the afternoon, a eunuch came over, saying that Song Qinzong was dealing with state affairs and had no time to see Zhao Chen, so Zhao Chen returned to Jujingyuan and continued to follow Wang De to practice martial arts!

Zhao Chen had no choice but to return to Jujing Garden.

*** ***

At this moment, in the Funing Palace, Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong is discussing with the ministers about making peace with Jin Bing!

Zhao Huan's face was full of joy, for many days, his heart was extremely scared, and now he finally relaxed! It turned out that the Jin soldiers didn't want to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, they just wanted to get some benefits, of course, they wanted to get a lot of benefits! Cession of Hebei and Hedong, this is indeed a bit too much! In the afternoon, he summoned his ministers over to discuss the matter.

"Tell me all about it, are we going to agree to Jin Bing's conditions?" Zhao Huan said.

"Your Majesty, Hebei and Hedong are the foundation of the country, with tens of millions of people, countless cities, and heavy taxes, we must not cede Hebei and Hedong to Jin Bing!" It was a middle-aged man in his 40s who spoke, but the middle-aged man's hair was all white! His body was slightly hunched, this person was Li Gang! Later generations called this person the head of the "Southern Song Dynasty Zhongxing Famous Ministers", and it was this person who worked together with Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others to turn the tide, so that the Southern Song Dynasty could be in a corner of peace! He had already been relegated to Jiangxi, but because of the invasion of the Jin soldiers, he had been urgently summoned to Kaifeng, and now he has served as a squire in the military department.

"If we don't cede Hebei and Hedong, how can we resist the Jin soldiers?" Zhang Bangchang stood up and said coldly! His fat body was trembling, as if he was very angry!

"We can make the king of Qin, there are still hundreds of thousands of garrisons in various places, and His Royal Highness King Kang is now also contacting the rebel army in Hebei and Hedong, breaking the back road of the Jin soldiers! The whole world is the king of Qin, we will definitely be able to stop the golden soldiers! Li Gang said.

"Garrisons everywhere, can they stop the golden soldiers? It's ridiculous! How powerful is the Seed Master Dao, how powerful is the Seed Army, they are all vulnerable in front of the Jin soldiers, can we still count on these garrisons? As for the rebel armies everywhere, it is even more ridiculous, they are all composed of some untouchables, without any training, not even weapons, how can they resist the Jin soldiers? Zhang Bangchang was "indignant" and said!

"But the price of ceding Hebei and Hedong is too great! If Hebei and Hedong are ceded, the north of the Yellow River will no longer belong to my Great Song Dynasty! My Great Song Dynasty is almost half less! Li Gang argued.

"Ceded Hebei and Hedong now, we can take it back in the future! If you don't cede Hebei and Hedong now, the Jin soldiers will call, and the rivers and mountains will be gone! Zhang Bangchang said coldly.

"Well, there's no need to talk about it! Hebei and Hedong will be ceded to the Jurchens, then it is nothing! Song Qin Zong said.

Hearing Song Qinzong speak, a group of ministers below were all complimenting, only Li Gang and a few others stood aside, frowning and not speaking! It's a pity that these people are not the mainstream of the imperial court, and they can't influence Song Qinzong!

"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve as the envoy of Hebei to cede land, responsible for contacting the Jin people, and ceding Hebei to the Jurchens!" Zhang Bangchang stood up and said.

"Zhang Aiqing is still loyal and not afraid of danger, and he even takes the initiative to contact Jinren! Well, it's up to you! Who served as the envoy of Hedong's land cession? Song Qin Zong said.

The ministers discussed, and Fan Qiong, the secretary of the ministry, served as the envoy of Hedong land cutting! However, Fan Qiong is different from Zhang Bangchang, he is full of fear! Those Jurchen barbarians are like tigers and wolves, if they can't meet their needs, he, the land cutter, is afraid that there will be no good end! It's just that the emperor has already decreed, and he must not disobey either.

"In addition to ceding Hebei and Hedong, Jin Bing asked for 10 million gold ingots, 20 million silver ingots, and 10 million silk horses. Song Qinzong said again.

The ministers below only knew that Jin Bing sent people to make peace, but they didn't know that Jin Bing's peace conditions contained so many materials! Many ministers were secretly horrified, thinking that the Jurchens were too greedy, and the materials they asked for were too much, which was simply astronomical! One ingot in the Great Song Dynasty is ten taels, and if the materials asked for by the Jurchens are exchanged for two, it will be 100 million taels of gold, 200 million taels of silver, plus 10 million horses! The treasury income of the Song Dynasty was only 60 or 70 million taels of silver a year, and one tael of gold was about equal to 15 taels of silver. A few years ago, when Song Huizong was in power, the treasury has been unable to make ends meet, and the gold and silver saved by the emperors before Song Huizong have all been spent, and now Song Qinzong has just been on the throne for a year, where did he get the gold and silver to hand over to the gold soldiers?

"That's just too much!" At this moment, Zhang Bangchang was also dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, the golden soldiers are just asking for a price!" Li Gang said.

"Oh? In your opinion, how? Song Qin Zong said.

"They are asking for a price, and we will pay it back! Let us also send messengers to the golden army and bargain with them!" Li Gang said.

"Oh, I wonder who wants to go to the Jin Army?" Song Qin Zongdao.

Hearing Song Qinzong's question, the ministers below retreated to the back. Everyone knows that the Jin soldiers are barbarians, extremely ferocious, and it must be dangerous to go to the Jin army, so no one wants to go.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to go!" Li Gangdao!

"This ...... Aiqing can't go! Song Qinzong frowned and said.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Wechen will never give up! Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about the safety of Weichen! Li Gang only thought that Song Qinzong was worried about his safety, and for a while he burst into tears!

"Aiqing has a straightforward personality, if she goes to the Jin Army, I am afraid that it will anger the Jin Army and affect the peace, it will be very bad!" Song Qinzong said slowly, and Li Gang was directly stunned.

"Li Bangyan, why don't you go to the Jin army and talk to them!" Zhao Huan said.

"Weichen takes the order!" Li Bangyan was afraid in his heart, but he could only accept his life.

"Your Majesty, the Jin soldiers finally agreed to negotiate peace, and now we should not let the Qinwang army from all over the country go to Kaifeng, so as not to anger the Jin soldiers! What do you think? Zhang Bangchang said.

"Not bad!" Song Qinzong nodded.
