Ambassador Liu argues on the basis of reason

Xia Medical Supervisor wrote a letter and lost his position

After the delegation arrived in Kyoto, Liu Lan, on behalf of the Song court, made solemn representations to Jin: Our Song envoy died for no reason, and I hope that Jin Guo will solve the case as soon as possible, punish the murderer, and compensate the victims.

Ginting promised to supervise the investigation of the case, and after the murderer was caught, he would be severely punished. However, the matter of compensation was ignored.

On that day, Emperor Wan Yan Jing summoned the Song envoys in the main hall. Liu Lan submitted his credentials and asked for an answer to the protection of the imperial mausoleum in Song Gong County.

Wan Yan Jing is careless: On a festive day, don't talk about ghosts and gods.

Liu Lan took a step forward, held his head high, and said in a loud voice:

"Your Majesty the Dajin Emperor, since Jingkang, the ancestral tomb of our dynasty has been repeatedly stolen and dug up, destroyed and neglected, overgrown with weeds, and miserable. Every time this happens, the emperor is sad. Today, the two countries have been friendly for more than 40 years. The imperial mausoleum is like this, which not only affects the friendship between the two countries, but also damages the image of the nobles. ”

"Since I ascended the throne, I have banned tomb robbing. Today, the damage to the Emperor's Mausoleum is the work of the folk thieves, and it has nothing to do in the imperial court. Wan Yanjing said indifferently.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong, the so-called Putian is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. Could it be that the dignified gold can't even control a few thieves? It's better to be like this, Your Majesty will hand over Gongxian to the jurisdiction of my Song State, how about it? "Liu Lan has a board and eyes, and he is upright.

When the minister present heard this, he rushed to him, drew his sword, and shouted fiercely:

"Little Nan barbarian, Hugh is rude, dare to speak like this in front of my emperor, is he impatient? Gong County is the land of our country, how can it be given to you? ”

Liu Lan didn't give in, "Lord Shangshu Youcheng, I am negotiating with the emperor of your country about the government affairs of the two countries, and His Majesty the emperor has not expressed his position, why are you so fierce?" ”

"What? Whoever wants to provoke Lao Tzu to be angry, go in with a white knife as usual, and come out with a red knife, and send him to Hades! "Bu San's momentum is violent.

"I don't believe it, the Dajin Kingdom, which claims to respect Kong Shangli, and there are ministers who openly commit murder in the main hall." Liu Lan's face did not change color, and he was dressed properly.

Busan snorted domineeringly, "So what? ”

Wan Yan Jing came forward, "Okay, let Envoy Liu tell me, what else do you have to do?" ”

"On the ground of Linqing, an official of our mission was assassinated and killed by thieves, and I hope that Your Majesty will supervise the investigation of the case, severely punish the murderer, compensate the deceased, and give an explanation to his family." Liu replied.

Wan Yanjing responded arrogantly:

I knew, and the summons was at this point, and I was tired, and the two questions raised by Liu Envoy were answered later.

When the mission to Jinhe Zhengdan was about to leave Yanjing, the embassy's companion envoy Sushi Lieziren was instructed by Zhang Wangong, the secretary of the Pingzhang Bureau, and replied as follows:

Jin Ting will issue an edict that all items in the Song Emperor's Mausoleum in Gongxian County will not be damaged, and violators will be handed over to Song for punishment; The Song Dynasty can send people to worship the mausoleum and maintain the imperial mausoleum by themselves, and the local yamen can give convenience.

The case of the murder of the Song envoy of the Linqing Dynasty has not been solved so far, and the government paid 5,000 taels of silver to compensate the family.

After consulting with Han Yangxuan, Liu Luan made an appointment on behalf of the embassy to meet with the embassy's envoy Su Shi Lieziren: Regarding the matter of the imperial tomb, he asked to see the edict of the Jin State with the jade seal, and the envoy's pension was too small, not less than 40,000 taels of silver.

Su Shi Lieziren was on fire at that time, "What 40,000 taels of silver?" You're ripping the buck! ”

"The accidental death of an official in my dynasty is all at this price."

In the evening, hundreds of Jin soldiers surrounded the Huitong Pavilion where the Song mission lived. Claims that they will not withdraw their request, that is, that they will stop serving meals and will not be allowed to return to their home countries.

The next morning, the two envoys went out and asked to meet the embassy envoy Fushi Lieziren, but the guards were not allowed, saying that Fushi Lieziren was going to Beijing on business, and as for the request to meet the emperor, the answer was even more straightforward: His Majesty the Emperor is busy with official business, and he has no time to see your envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Liu Xuan told everyone that our request is polite and courteous, and there is nothing inappropriate, even so, everyone should share weal and woe, and would rather starve to death than lose the national prestige and personality, and everyone expressed their support. So, everyone sat down and protested. It was the middle of winter, the weather was cold, and the kang of the hall was also out of firewood, so they had to huddle together in groups of three or five to keep each other warm.

The two sides confronted each other for two days and two nights, and on the third day, Sushi Lieziren appeared, only to see that although the members of the mission had yellow faces and thin muscles, and their qi was weak, their eyes were blazing. couldn't help but sigh: "Who said that the Song people are greedy for life and afraid of death? There are many people who do not hesitate to die! Liu Envoy is a loyal minister who is not afraid of death!! ”

Then, he stretched out his hands and wanted to pull Liu Ling up: "Envoy Liu, get up, the banquet is ready." Let's have a good drink today. ”

Liu Lan didn't move, "If you don't agree to our request, the 88 envoys of my Song Kingdom would rather starve to death here." ”

"Okay, for the sake of your loyalty to the country, His Majesty the Emperor was merciful and agreed to your request, you see, this is a national letter, this is an edict to the world, and there is the emperor's jade seal on it, which is 20,000 taels of silver tickets." Fu Shi Lie Ziren flatteringly handed over the relevant documents to him to see.

"Didn't you say 40,000 taels, not so much, we voluntarily went on a hunger strike." The voice is small, but it is extremely firm.

"Yes!" All personnel shouted in unison.

"Linqing is a poor county, and it can't take out so much at once. In this way, when you pay two taels of silver next year, you will deduct 20,000 taels. I'll write you a certificate now and put the official seal on it, right? ”

"Has the murderer been caught?"

"I won't tell you the truth, Jinan Mansion and Linqing County have been dispatched, but nothing has been found, and it is estimated that it was a roaming robber."

The hanging heart was finally put down, and Wang Langzhong could be stared.

During this period, a major event also happened in Lin'ancheng.

Xia Shizhong, the supervisor of the Taiping Huimin Bureau, submitted a recital to the emperor: Han Yanxuan has the merit of canonization, is loyal to the country, and has a prominent status, please follow the story of Wen Yanbo and appoint him as an important military affairs in Pingzhang.

The emperor sent the fold to the government hall for discussion. The deacons don't know what this Xia Zhijian means. At the age of 80, the imperial court appointed him as an important military affairs of Pingzhang, and he made a pilgrimage once in six days and lectured at the palace twice a month. In other words, this important military affairs of Pingzhang is an honorary title, regardless of daily affairs, if there is a major event in the DPRK and China, make an idea and set the tone. Can King Han Jun do the same? However, this fairness has never been revealed.

Han Yanxuan was also very comfortable at first, you see, an official who has nothing to do with him and is in charge of medicine praised me like this, which shows that my merits and abilities are still recognized. As soon as Su Shicheng, Zhou Yunluan, Shi Dajian and others analyzed, things changed. Where is this to ask the emperor to reuse me, obviously because he thinks I am an eyesore, give me a big sweet date, and let me go to the side to cool off.

So, he immediately went up, recounted the royal favor received by the four generations of the Han family, and said with sincere fear:

I have not contributed much to the country, but I have been rewarded and promoted by His Majesty, and I am still grateful. Your Majesty's ascension to the throne is not the work of the ministers, but the will of the Empress Dowager, after that, I worked diligently and conscientiously with all the ministers, under the leadership of Your Majesty, I am afraid that my ability is weak and I cannot undertake the mission entrusted by Your Majesty. Now, I suddenly heard that there is a medical officer who has taken a notebook, please follow the story of Wen Yanbo and entrust him with the corresponding post. Weichen thought that this was obviously arrogant and nonsense, and after I heard it, I was panicked and sweated like rain. Of course, this person is not worthy of reprimand, but Weichen's loyalty to the emperor cannot but be demonstrated! For this reason, Wechen asked Zhishi to ask His Majesty to fulfill Wechen's duty.

As soon as this excerpt was released, Emperor Zhao Kuo was confused. King Han Jun asked Zhishi to retire, so what can he do, how old is he, I can't leave him, since he doesn't want to do that errand, let's maintain the status quo. That is, he knew that he was preparing the text, and he personally wrote the imperial book to comfort him.

Then he ordered: Xia Shizhong Taiping Huimin Bureau supervisor is poor, supervised by Lin'an Government, and escorted out of Lin'an on the same day.

Xia Shizhong drove out of Lin'an, and the He Jin Zhengdan delegation returned triumphantly. Emperor Zhao expanded and praised Liu Ling, rewarded Liu Lan with a purple gold fish bag, Han Yangxuan brought a jade bag, and everyone else was rewarded.
