Chapter 0800: Fighting at the Negotiation Table
The two countries reached an agreement, and the two sides negotiated for more than a month.
At the negotiation table, the Western Liao side, led by Yelu Shengyu and Xiao Mohe, formed a luxurious delegation and launched a war with the Song Dynasty at the negotiation table.
Compared with the lineup of the Western Liao Mission, the Great Song side was extremely simple, because Pan Zhisuo was the only one in the entire negotiation process.
Regarding the many debates and controversies between Yelu Shengyu and Xiao Mohe, Pan Zhisuo followed the fine tradition that silence is golden.
No matter how many words you say, the official still says the same thing: peace talks are okay, but you must show enough sincerity, not only the indemnity must not be less, but also the corresponding territory must be ceded!
"Pan Shangshu, although my Da Liao is now in a weak position, but I also have the power to fight back, and now my Da Liao has condescended to show goodwill, why should your country be aggressive?"
Yelu Shengyu looked at the collegial agreement drawn up by the Song Dynasty, and his voice suddenly became cold, even though he had already been mentally prepared, he was still angry at the Song Dynasty's inch.
The collegial treaty clearly marked that on the basis of the original Western Liao border, the 36 cities advancing to the northwest were to be all owned by the Song Dynasty.
The territory of Western Liao is not large, including the vast Gobi Desert, and the Song Dynasty's lion's opening is equivalent to annexing one-third of the territory of Western Liao.
Pan Zhi was on the main seat of the negotiation table, slightly closed his eyes and said softly: "Aggressive, ho, Brother Yelu, you think too much, this official can relax and discuss the collegiate matter with you, it is already a concession to you!" ”
"You! ……”
"My Great Song Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, the most fearless thing is war, and now that my Great Song Dynasty soldiers are flourishing, why should I stop the advance of the army for the sake of your thirty-six cities?"
Pan Zhi said, and then his tone hardened: "This official has a word to inform you, it's not that I, the Great Song Dynasty, have to sign this collegiate, but whether your country needs this collegiate proposal!" ”
"This ......"
"Damn! You're the same as robbery! Xiao Mohe was angry, "The envoy wants to meet your majesty, has your majesty forgotten ......?"
"Enough!"
Originally, behind Xiao Mohe's assassination, he wanted to mention the friendship between the prince of the Xiao family and the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Pan Zhi's sleeves.
"My Majesty the Great Song Dynasty was assassinated by assassins in your country, and your country still can't give a reasonable explanation for this matter, and you still have the face to meet Your Majesty, and Mo Feier and others still have to stage a 'Jing Ke Assassination of Qin'?"
"Don't spew blood, what does the assassination of Your Majesty have to do with me!"
"Humph! The assassins have confessed, why did this official come to spew blood? Pan Zhi Shi stood up and glanced at Xiao Mohe, "If it weren't for the kindness of His Majesty the Great Song Dynasty and his unwillingness to care about this matter, how could I talk about collegiate negotiations?" Just because of the assassin's assassination of His Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty has a reason to send troops to sweep away your Liao Kingdom! ”
"You! ……”
In the face of Pan Zhisuo's sharp words, Xiao Mohe was angry, and said that if the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was merciful, then Lao Tzu could become a saint.
Yelu Shengyu on the side saw that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately came out to play a round: "Although the diplomatic relations between the two countries cannot reach their own satisfaction, they can also seek common ground while reserving differences. Pan Shangshu, regarding the division of territory, we can make concessions on behalf of our country, but can we discuss the amount of this tribute coin? ”
"Sheng Yu, you! ……”
Xiao Mohe was about to speak, but was blocked by Yelu Shengyu with his eyes.
Pan Zhi used his index finger to rhythmically tap the collegial copy, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and said: "There is one article in the agreement for compensation, which can not be included in the article......
"Really!?"
"Regarding the matter of Princess Crescent Moon entering the court and kissing, His Majesty intends to marry her to the important ministers of the court, if your country has no objection to this matter, then this indemnity can be converted into a marriage!"
After Pan Zhisuo said this, he sat back in his seat and stopped talking.
"This ......"
Yelu Shengyu was embarrassed when he heard this, originally Princess Xinyue came to the Song Dynasty this time to enter the palace to be the concubine of the Great Song Emperor.
Now she wants to marry a courtier, which is not only the condescension of the princess of her country, but also the status of the entire Liao State is also shortened.
No matter how high the power of a courtier is, he is still a courtier after all.
For a while, there was silence at the negotiation table, and the envoys of the Liao State did not know how to make a choice at this moment.
If you agree, it would be tantamount to dishonoring the dignity of your country.
If they do not agree, it remains to be determined whether the harmony can proceed smoothly, and this huge amount of land compensation will be an unbearable burden for Western Liao.
Although he had been mentally prepared, Yelu Shengyu still didn't feel good in his heart, so he asked casually: "I don't know if it's the upstart in your country?" ”
"Oh, Brother Yelu don't have to worry too much, the person Your Majesty wants to marry Princess Crescent Moon is Lord Wuqing Zhongwu, the official of this dynasty, and there is no precedent for marriage when he has just arrived."
"Oh......"
Yelu Shengyu responded to the symbolism, he still understands the rookie of the Song Kingdom, so for the person in Pan Zhi's mouth, Yelu Shengyu can still accept it.
If he asked his princess to marry a bad old man, or if he was to serve as a continuation, these situations were unacceptable to him under any circumstances.
"Brother Yelu, you have to understand, since your country has paid tribute to my Great Song Dynasty, if Your Majesty marries the princess of a vassal country, do you think this is appropriate?" Seeing that Yelu Shengyu was silent, Pan Zhisuo added, "Moreover, after experiencing the assassination of your country's assassins, it can be said that it has shaken the entire Great Song Dynasty and the opposition, in order to ensure the safety of Your Majesty's dragon body, how can you easily let your princess enter the palace?" ”
"As I said before, this matter has nothing to do with my Da Liao!"
Pan Zhisuo was an assassin of your country, which made many Liao envoys present unhappy.
But Pan Zhizhi spread his hands and responded to everyone with silence, as if to say: It doesn't matter if you have anything to do with it, it has nothing to do with this official anyway!
"What Pan Shangshu said is reasonable, then the matter will be settled......" Yelu Shengyu, who had been silent for a long time, finally made a decision without any choice.
However, it is not so much that he makes the decision, but that the current situation is out of his control.
"Good! Then the two countries will use today's negotiations as an agreement to state the agreement, and the official will then forward the draft agreement to the province of Shangshu. ”
"Then I'll wait for the good news!"
"Please!"
After Pan Zhisuo finished speaking, he got up and left, leaving only a group of lonely Western Liao missions.
"Sheng Yu, I didn't expect to talk about it for more than a month, but the result is still unsatisfactory, these southern barbarians, they really eat people and don't spit out bones!"
Yelu Shengyu didn't pay any attention to Xiao Mohe's indignation, but said helplessly: "The current situation is like this, how can you and I be swayed?" Man is a knife and I am a fish, so I can only let them slaughter it...... This time, we are really going to become the sinners of the ages of Daliao. ”
"Yes, such a loss of power and humiliation of the country, you and I cannot shirk our responsibility. But...... How can we blame all this heavy guilt? ”
Xiao Mohe nodded silently, but it was inexhaustible bitterness. (. Just Love)
