Chapter 160: The dispute between the two factions

After a long time, those soldiers from the Imperial Palace appeared outside the city of Tokyo, but there was only one carriage.

The carriages loaded with gold, silver, jewelry, and delicacies remained in the camp of the Golden Army.

Qin Feng and several generals also saw it, that is, the people who went to the peace talks, if they didn't go down, the guards checked it, and they could let them pass.

I don't want to provoke them anymore, it's not easy to provoke them.

But I heard a cry coming from the carriage, crying and screaming, and I looked very scared.

A soldier in black armor took the token, and one of Li Yuan's hands stretched out, no longer prestigious, embarrassed.

The man pointed the token toward the guards of the city and commanded them to open the gates.

The gates quickly opened, and dozens of armor-clad guards stood in two rows.

The group sent to the peace talks entered the city gate and hurried to the palace.

The soldiers guarding the gates of the city still opened the curtain of the carriage slightly and looked inside.

I also saw Li Yu, who was crying inside, he was so frightened that he was about to pee, and immediately went to the city tower and reported to Qin Feng and them.

When Qin Feng heard this, he laughed one by one, before he was still arrogant, and made a fuss in front of the city gate.

When I arrived at the enemy's camp, I was scared like this, what a waste, greedy for life and afraid of death, and a person who had no guts!

Continue to patrol the city gates, and must be ready at all times, for fear of a surprise attack by the golden soldiers.

It didn't take long for another team of soldiers from the palace to arrive.

This time, they didn't want to go out of the city gate, they came to invite Qin Feng and some generals to go to the early dynasty.

As soon as he inquired, the conditions of the peace talks were too outrageous, so Li Yu came back crying and reported to the emperor.

Qin Feng and those generals felt that Jin Guo was a wolf's ambition, and the white-eyed wolf who couldn't be fed was actually asking for so many things.

He also rode a war horse and galloped towards the palace.

When they arrived at the main hall of the meeting, many civil and military officials also arrived, some wearing purple official robes and some wearing red official robes.

They were talking to each other, their faces panicked and frightened, and they kept talking, like ants on a hot pot!

It was as if a fire was about to burn them, burning them to death, and they were all very anxious and panicked.

Some of them noticed them as well, and walked towards the brisk step.

Zhao Ding was one of them, and several high-ranking officials came over, also with panicked faces.

Said: "Qin Feng, several generals, do you know the conditions for peace talks proposed by Jin Guo?" It's so ridiculous, obviously he wants to take all the money of Da Song! ”

Qin Feng and the others were also worried, in fact, the conditions of this peace talk were not very clear, but they knew a lot, and they didn't know how much.

"Lord Zhao, what are the conditions for peace talks in the Jin Kingdom? Tell us about it! ”

The Song Dynasty was a civil official, and sometimes the major national affairs had not yet reached the ears of the emperor, and they heard it halfway.

Li Yu is still a member of the Lord and faction, and most of the court is from the Lord and the faction, and they are everywhere, so they must have known it first.

Zhao Ding bowed to them, showed his respect, and began to speak.

"Li Bangyan, they knew first, but we were called to the main hall, we also heard their conversation, and knew the conditions of the Jin State peace, what a group of brutes."

"The Kingdom of Jin demanded five million taels of gold, fifty million taels of silver, ten thousand cattle and horses, and one million silk silks. How could the Great Song Dynasty have so much gold and silver? It's even more terrible than robbing. ”

"Since we still have to send the prince and the prime minister to negotiate peace, wait for them to withdraw safely from the country, and then it is possible to release them, shameless and despicable people! I want to kill them all! ”

When Qin Feng heard this, he felt that it was too much, and the five million taels of gold alone hollowed out the Great Song Dynasty.

In recent years, the imperial court has not collected much tax from the local government, and it has to pay the salaries of officials, and a large number of redundant officials and redundant personnel.

Small-scale peasant uprisings in various places continued, and troops were deployed to suppress them, which consumed a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and greatly damaged their vitality!

Jin Guo obviously wants to squeeze out the financial and material resources of the Great Song Dynasty, and then eat it in one bite, with evil intentions!

said: "The Jin people are too shameless, asking for so much money and wealth, obviously they want to consume the national strength of the Song State, and they are plotting against each other, so they must not agree."

Zhao Ding and the others also smiled and agreed, with anger on their faces, and they absolutely couldn't agree.

Suddenly, a eunuch in a robe walked out.

shouted: "Start early!" Early Morning Beginning! ”

Emperor Qin, who was wearing a golden dragon robe, walked out quickly, also looking flustered and worried.

Below, these civil officials and military generals, who were talking about a lot, began to return to their positions and stand.

It's still a lot of noise, and it's noisy and it's non-stop.

Qin Feng saw Prime Minister Li Gang at this time, and thought that he had been transferred elsewhere, and he didn't see his shadow when he came in.

He came out of several people, very angry, still arguing, and talking with the Lord and the faction.

Li Bangyan, Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong and others were there, laughing loudly, obviously having the upper hand.

Emperor Qin stood high on it, and he didn't have the heart to sit down, looking anxiously at the people below, and couldn't help but sigh a few times.

It was quiet below before he began to speak.

"I summoned Aiqing late at night, I guess you also know the conditions of the peace talks in Jinguo."

"The compensation is five million taels of gold, fifty million taels of silver, ten thousand cattle and horses, and one million silk silks. Tell us what you think! ”

Li Bangyan immediately stepped forward, smiling loudly, as if he was fighting for a great credit.

Said: "According to Weichen's opinion, I have a lot of money and countless money, and I can pay so much real money, and the cloth is not a problem, so I should agree to the request of the Jinren."

"The army of the Jin Kingdom of more than 100,000 is just outside the city, and our army has just been defeated, if they forcibly attack the city, they may not be able to hold it, as long as they can keep the Great Song Dynasty, those are not important."

It sounds good, it is the money of the treasury, but I am afraid that the golden soldiers will break the city and kill themselves, and those beautiful concubines and family property will also be robbed.

Emperor Qin looked at it fiercely, what he said made a little sense, but it was not feasible to get so much money!

Li Gang also immediately stood up and loudly refuted his opinion.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li Bangyan's words are nonsense, don't believe it!"

"My Great Song treasury is empty, and it is enough to take out a few million taels of silver, where can I get millions of taels of gold, and tens of millions of taels of silver, and those millions of horses of cloth and silk can't be obtained."

"Besides, what about the army of the hundreds of thousands of Jin Kingdom? It's not that we have been repelled once, although there are 30,000 fewer people, we also have more than 100,000 people, what are you afraid of him doing? I will definitely be able to repel them. ”

Qin Feng and some people from the main peace faction also agreed, disagreeing with the peace.

Emperor Qin looked at it with some pleasure, and a smile appeared on his face, I still have a lot of virtuous ministers in the Great Song Dynasty, unlike some wastes.

Zhang Bangchang walked to the front, with a wicked smile on his face, obviously about to admonish.

Qin Feng looked at him with disgust, his kind of person should be on the side of the Lord and the faction, greedy for fame and fortune, and also afraid of death, he really shouldn't save him.

Zhang Bangchang bowed to the emperor and began to speak.

"Your Majesty, Weichen Zhang Bangchang thinks that Prime Minister Li Bangyan is right, and Prime Minister Li Gang's words are okay, but it is still not as good as Prime Minister Zuo's method."

"Since the founding of the country, my Great Song Dynasty has advocated that peace is precious, treat the surrounding neighbors well, and always give money to neighbors in exchange for the peace of the two countries, which has been going on for a hundred years and cannot be broken!"

"I have a lot of money and a lot of money, can't I afford to lose a few million taels of gold? As long as the two countries are peaceful, the money will be earned back soon. ”

Therefore, please also ask the emperor to listen to the advice of Li Bangyan, the prime minister of the left, agree to the peace talks, and compensate those conditions!

Li Bangyan had the upper hand, like a dog that had received benefits, and continued to persuade the emperor to accept the terms of the peace talks.

The people of the Lord and the faction were also busy talking, and there was a lot of discussion!

Emperor Qin, who was wearing a golden dragon, also believed it a little, since Taizu had done it like that, why shouldn't he be?

If the money had been exchanged for peace between the two countries, the Song kingdom would have continued to prosper in commerce, with higher taxes and an empty treasury.

But when I looked at those people from the main battle faction, I felt that it was inappropriate, and I couldn't do that! If you are wavering, you don't know who to listen to.
