After the collective discussion, the first letter was cut off

Then try to negotiate and sign a contract

In 1208, the Song court decided to change the Yuan to Jiading.

Shortly after the New Year, Wang Nan returned from Jin and reported that Jin had asked for the heads of Han Yanxuan and Su Shicheng.

Another problem was in front of him, demanding a holy judgment. Zhao Kuo's brows furrowed, and he was annoyed. At the beginning, when the Yang brothers and sisters took turns to impeach Han Yanxuan, he was disgusted with Han, and he just wanted to remove Han from his official position and let him leave Beijing and leave the court, and he had no intention of killing. Therefore, after Han Yanxuan's death, the minister made a clear statement, and he couldn't believe it, and it took several days before he accepted this fact. Just like when someone made a fake royal pen in his name, he knew that someone was against his will, but he did not reprimand or pursue it, and let the situation worsen.

On the fifteenth Yuan Xiao Festival of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuan, as in the past, never decided on major matters, but issued an edict, ordering the attendants, the two provinces, and the ministers of Taiwan to discuss collectively.

The officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Court first expressed their position and agreed to dedicate their heads to Jin, and the opinions of the two provinces and the Privy Council of Zhongshu Shangshu had not yet been unified. Zhao Kuo asked for continued discussions.

Three days later, the opinions of the two provinces and the Privy Council tended to be unified, and the officials acted as the vanguard and suggested that the emperor make a decision, but Zhao Kuo looked solemn and opposed it for the first time:

"This matter involves the national system, and it cannot be agreed lightly."

Wang Nan thinks it's normal, negotiation, just like doing business, is not how much the other party wants, even if it can agree, it must be pressed down and put forward corresponding conditions. What's more, giving the head of a former important minister of the imperial court to an enemy country is indeed detrimental to the dignity of the country.

During his time in Jin Guo, he had already seen clearly, and Jin Guo was not willing to fight again, since this was the case, let's talk about it again.

From his own personal experience, he felt the hardships of being an envoy of a weak country, and before going north, he played a wat and shouted grievances for Fang Xinru:

The initial conclusion of the peace agreement is the credit of Fang Xinru's preparation and repeated persistence, and he has suffered many difficulties for this, compared to Weichen, it is easier to do. Every time I saw the envoy of the Jin State Pavilion, I would ask Fang Xinru where he was, and the twists and turns of right and wrong had their own public opinions, even the enemy had to admit it. He asked the emperor to remember Fang Xinru's dedication to the country and his mission, and he was exempted from punishment.

Zhao Kuo raised his eyes and looked at the ministers:

What do you think?

The right minister, Ding Qiaoan, stepped forward and said: Weichen thinks that what the king envoy played is reasonable, and Fang Xinru should be allowed to do his own thing.

Zhao Kuo replied: Quasi-playing.

Two days later, the imperial court issued two edicts. One said: Grant Fang Xinru to know Shaozhou. The second said: Restore the title of King Qin Huishen and the title of "loyalty".

Two months later, Wang Nan told the Jin people in response: the Jin Emperor promised to exchange Han Yanzhou's head for the land of Lianghuai and Shaanxi occupied by the Jin people.

Zhao Kuo issued an edict again, ordering hundreds of officials to gather. Li Si, a servant of the Ministry and a member of the Academy, disagreed: he thought that this matter would hurt the dignity of the country.

This Li Si is the one who said to his face that Han Yanxuan was Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong more than a year ago. Just reinstated.

The official Shangshu Lou Zhixin said: "Peace is a big thing, just wait for this article to be agreed, now that the traitor is dead, the head of a dead man, what is there to pity!" ”

Yes, almost all the ministers believe that when peace can avoid disaster, the Son of Heaven can kneel, the land can be ceded, the people can be abandoned, and the gold and silk can be used to finance the enemy, and how much is the head of a mere traitor worth?

Emperor Zhao Kuan made a decision: Since the result of the ministers' meeting was to agree to give the head of the gold, and it could be exchanged for the lost land, then he ordered Lin'an Mansion to cut the coffin and take the head.

Han Yanxuan was suddenly killed, which was a catastrophe for the Han family. In the past, the South Park of Hanfu, where the city was full of people and dancers, suddenly became depressed and cold.

Li Renyou, Han Qingyuan, Han Shipeng, Zhu Yu and others said that the county king could not escape the blame for the failure of the Northern Expedition, but the county king and the Han government did not get any benefits from it, all for the sake of the court and society, even if there was a mistake, the crime should not be killed, and some people falsely preached the holy decree, took the opportunity to take revenge, and murdered the important ministers. They wanted to go to the Dengwen Drum Courtyard to write a letter, asking the emperor to remember that he had been diligent in the king's affairs for more than ten years and lost money for the country, to track down the murderer, and to dismiss him from his post and investigate it.

Mrs. Oh of South Korea disagreed. Soon after Han Yanxuan was killed, he knew the general truth of the matter. For so many years, she knows what her husband has done, there are many people who have offended the government and the opposition, at first, the purpose of the people was to drive him down, but she knew that the Jin people were indomitable and would punish the war mastermind. One inside and one outside, anger and resentment have become this ending. Death is also a trick of fate. So far, the court has not deprived the county king of the title, nor has it confiscated the family property, indicating that it does not want to investigate deeply, so it will end here. At this time, if the Han family takes the lead again, who will support the DPRK? At this time and that time, it is thankful that I can keep the family safe.

Next, the Wu family arranged to do two things, the singers and dancers and maids in the Han Mansion were all dismissed, and the concubines who had no children could remarry on their own; In addition to the Han Mansion, Nanyuan and the rest of the mansions were all handed over to Empress Yang in the palace for disposal.

Han Yanxuan has a group of wives and concubines, with only two sons and four daughters. The eldest daughter was born to the Wu family and was married, and both sons were minors. According to the advice of Li Renyou and Han Qingyuan, Mrs. Wu, the fourth lady Tan, and the sixth lady Ma Yufang moved to Quanzhou with their children.

At the beginning of May, Wang Nan went to Jin again, and arrived in Yanjing with the signed credentials, as well as the heads of Han Yanzhou and Su Shidan.

In the past few months, the commanders have died one after another, the northwest frontier has hidden troubles, the national strength has been empty due to the war, and the court has been uneasy, for fear that the Song people will regret it and delay for a long time, but now they are finally relieved. Emperor Jin was in a good mood and decided to make a big show and do it well.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the sky was high and the clouds were light. The emperor wore a dragon robe and a crown and the concubine Li Shi'er rode the dragon chariot, using the ceremony of Huang Lu to stand up, and the mighty and mighty came to the gate of heaven. The ceremony was presided over by Marshal Wan Yan Kuang, and first, the merit essay was recited by the Hanlin Scholar. Then, accept the Song people's dedication. In the midst of the sound of drums and trumpets and the thunder of joy, the Song envoy presented two wooden boxes. Wan Yanjing smiled and saw the first level. In his opinion, this is not a bloody, creepy human head, but a supreme treasure. The emperor returned to sit down, and the civil and military officials went up in turn to congratulate the emperor on his wise decision, and the soldiers used their lives to achieve this unprecedented victory.

After that, the soldiers who had attacked were rewarded, and the ministers were feasted in the palace, singing and dancing for three days.

Next, the heads and portraits of Han and Su were hung on Tongqu Avenue for ordinary people to watch at will. Then, the head was wrapped and hidden in the armory. Keep it as a souvenir of war.

So he ordered Yan Kuang and others to strike the army, changed the Marshal's Mansion to the Privy Council, and sent an envoy to return Dasanguan and Haozhou to the Song State.

One day, Emperor Jin Wanyan Jing asked Wang Weihan in Youshilang: "After the Song State requests peace talks this time, can it still break the covenant?" ”

Wang Weihan replied: "The emperor of the Song Dynasty was slack in political affairs, the army was weakened, and after this war, the Huai River valley was depressed for thousands of miles and extremely desolate. Their ministers only killed Han Yanxuan and Su Shicheng, but they did not dare to delve into and analyze some of the defeated generals and the real reasons for the defeat, so there was no need to worry about such an enemy country. The real concern is Mongolia in the north, which will be a great trouble, and Your Majesty will have to work hard. ”

In September, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin State formally signed a peace treaty, which is as follows: first, according to the story of Jingkang, the world is the country of uncles and nephews; second, the new year coin is 300,000 taels of silver, 300,000 horses of silk, and 3 million taels of silver; Third, the boundaries were the same as those in Shaoxing (the Jin Kingdom ceded its newly occupied territory).
