In the Lin'an Palace, Xiaozong Zhao Yan looked at the newspapers on the table, as if he was very annoyed.

For the Jin Kingdom to invite the envoys of Liao and Xia to come to Song to gather together, Zhao Yan had long felt that it was not simple, but he did not expect that it would be this result.

He had already known about the edict sent by the Jin State, and was very sensitive to the cultural exchanges mentioned in the edict. But Zhao Yan is not qualified and has no reason to refuse.

After the failure of the Northern Expedition of Longxing, although the two countries entered a long period of peaceful coexistence, as a defeated country, the Song Dynasty was a vassal to the Jin State and called it an uncle and nephew, which meant that the younger generation was not qualified to oppose the decision of the elders.

And issuing an edict to an emperor is equivalent to the Jin State being the upper country, and Jin Shizong Wanyan Yong is Zhao Yan's uncle! (However, it is called a national letter in the history books, which can be regarded as gold on the face!) ）

Since the Jin State occupied the Song land north of the Yangtze River, it claimed to be the orthodoxy of the Central Plains culture for half a century, and the Song land south of the Yangtze River was nothing more than the southern barbarian land in the Jin population.

It has always been debated as to which is right and which is wrong, but it is an indisputable fact that the literati of the Southern Song Dynasty have always looked down on the barbarians of the Jin State.

This time, Jin Guo took the initiative to send a delegation to come to cultural exchanges, and as the host of the Central Plains culture, Xiaozong Zhao Yan had no reason to refuse.

However, what Jin said is not unreasonable, the Song land north of the Yangtze River belongs to the Jin State, it can be said that the original hinterland of the Central Plains has been mostly occupied by the Jin State, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the Southern Barbarian.

Although the land south of the Yangtze River is still a cultural inheritance that has not been broken, the Jin Kingdom has gradually reached its peak of culture in the ethnic integration of the north! In a sense, the inheritance of the Central Plains culture of the Jin State is far more profound than that of the Liao State.

How could Xiaozong Zhao Yan not know the stakes, now that the Jin Kingdom is gathering in the capital with such fanfare, it must be not good to come.

I thought that even if the Jinguo delegation wanted to conduct a cultural exchange competition this time, it would wait for Lin'an to deal with it. But he didn't expect that the Jin State Mission did not go directly to Lin'an, but directly attacked the Eight Great Academies of the Great Song Dynasty.

Such unruly and unreasonable behavior made Zhao Yan very annoyed, but what made him even more angry was that the eight major academies were wiped out and no one won.

This is a naked humiliation, even the proud grandmasters of the eight major academies have been completely defeated by the enemy, and he, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, can be said to have lost face.

In the empty imperial study, Zhao Yan sat beside the bookcase with a gloomy face, and sat quietly without saying a word.

At this time, Liang Ke walked in in a broken step, bowed down and held up the music with both hands and said: "Your Majesty, the delegation headed by the prince of Jin has arrived in the capital!" ”

Zhao Yan glanced at the recital, and did not rush to pick it up, but pondered for a moment before taking the recital and reading it under the light.

"Arrogance! What an arrogant Wanyan Yungong! ”

After Zhao Yan finished reading the recital, he was furious and pressed the recital heavily on the table.

"I don't believe it, I have tens of millions of scribes in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are no capable people to deal with the Bada Shanren of the Jin Kingdom! The three pavilions and three pavilions were discussed by the scholars, and this matter was included in the primary court meeting of tomorrow! ”

"Yes!"

……

Five days later, that is, on the twentieth day of the lunar month, the Great Song Emperor Zhao Yan led hundreds of civil and military officials to meet with the Three Kingdoms delegation at the Daqing Hall in the Imperial City of Lin'an, Kyoto. Among them, there is no full-time official below the fifth rank who does not need to go to court.

Today's grand ceremony of this scale has not been held for many years. Generally, it is held at the grand moment when the new emperor ascends the throne, the emperor's wedding, the canonization of the crown prince, and foreign and domestic attachments.

The last time a grand ceremony was held was when Zhao Yan ascended the throne six years ago, and today in order to welcome the missions of the Three Kingdoms, this grand court meeting was held again.

Beginning today, the officials of Kyoto and the local officials of Kyoto, dressed in costumes of seven grades or more, together with the tributary envoys, were already waiting outside the palace gate, and the following good procession under the command of the Ming Zanguan was waiting to be summoned.

About half an hour later, the palace door slowly opened, and the officials and envoys entered the palace through the two doors under the guidance of the praise officer. The civil officials were in the east, the military attachés were in the west, and the missions of the three kingdoms were headed by the Jin Kingdom.

At this moment, everyone knew that the envoy of the Jin State who sent the Song Dynasty this time was the crown prince of the Jin State, Wanyan Yungong, and was accompanied by the general Wu Lin.

After a qiē was ready, Xiaozong Zhao Yan finally arrived in the eyes of everyone, at this time, the Luan Yiwei official sounded the whip, and the hundred officials and envoys knelt down to greet him.

After Zhao Yan sat in the Daqing Palace, the officials above the fourth rank entered according to the rank and level of the title, and each of them was determined according to the position of the praise official.

After the ministers bowed three times and bowed nine times, the officials of Honglu Temple were envoys from the three kingdoms outside the hall and entered the temple in order to pay respects.

After the three kingdoms paid their respects, the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom simply saluted, and then went straight to the point: "Brother Huang, I don't know if you have read the edict issued by your father?" ”

“……”

Wanyan Yungong's words can be described as extremely provocative!

bluntly called Zhao Yan the emperor's brother in person, although it is understandable according to the rules. After all, the two countries are commensurate with uncles and nephews, so Zhao Yan is naturally a generation later than the current Emperor of Jin.

At this time, it is reasonable for the crown prince of Jin State to call him the imperial brother.

But when these words were said on such an occasion, where did Zhao Yan's face be placed, and where did he put Da Song's face.

Although the civil and military officials present were all indignant, they had no reason to refute it. They all glanced sideways at Zhao Yan on the dragon chair, and then they all lowered their heads silently and were silent.

"I've seen it!" Zhao Yan's expression was very calm, and he responded calmly.

"Then I don't know how the Imperial Brother feels about the defeat of the eight great academies of your country?"

Wan Yan Yungong smiled coldly, and then continued: "Song Guo prides himself on his literary style, and often thinks that my Jin Kingdom is just a reckless man in the world!" Now the prince of this country is dealing with your country's qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, history, theory, and counting eight scribes with the eight mountain people, which can be regarded as comprehensive! ”

"I'm a Song scribe with more than 10 million, Prince Yungong, I'm too happy too early!" Zhao Yan's expression was slightly moved, but he did not give in to his words.

"Hahaha! Brother Huang, it's not that the crown prince looks down on the Song people, it's just that the Song people's culture is sluggish! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you have fought with others without the permission of your majesty, which is not in line with the regulations, and I don't know what external factors there are! Isn't that too early to assert? ”

A person walked out of the chao class, this person was Yu Yunwen, the chief of the court, and after seeing Yan Yungong so wanton and arrogant, it was really difficult for him to turn a blind eye.

"Oh? Too early to assert? What is that's the 'poetry master' and 'the world's first book'...... It seems that it is really a reputation for fame! However, that Xu Xingyue has a plaque, called 'National Hand Peerless', which is said to be the authentic work left by King Kang back then, I don't know if there is such a thing? ”

"Bold! The name of the emperor back then, how could you be so profane! Prince Yungong, don't lose your courtesy! ”

Seeing that Wanyan Yungong became more and more unscrupulous, Zhao Yan could not hide the anger in his heart, and bluntly said the name of the prince of the Emperor Zhao Gou on this main hall, which could not be tolerated no matter what.

Emperor Zhao Gou fled from the Jin Kingdom to Jiangnan as King Kang and became the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Now this Wanyan Yungong does not call Zhao Gou the emperor, but calls him the prince of the year, which is enough to show his contempt and disdain. Imagine that even Zhao Gou is not the emperor, so where will he, Zhao Yan, the emperor who was conceded by Zen, be placed?

Seeing that Xiaozong Zhao Yan was really angry, Wanyan Yungong just smiled faintly and retracted Fang Cai's fierce momentum: "Since it is a literary exchange, this prince doesn't want to be truthful!" ”

"It seems that for the contest of the eight academies, the imperial brother is unconvinced! Anyway, this prince came here this time to see the so-called literary orthodoxy of the Song Dynasty! The imperial brother used the reason that the literati of the Great Song Dynasty were tens of millions, and the prince set a deadline! What about making an agreement? ”

"Agreements?" Zhao Yan held the armrest with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and asked with some solemnity.

"Not bad! This prince came to make a deal with the imperial brother in place of his father! If it is this exchange, if there are capable people in the Song Kingdom, more than half of the Bada Mountain people will win! Then the collegial treaty signed by the two countries back then will be nullified, and the two countries will no longer be called uncles and nephews, but brothers! As for the annual payment of the New Year's coins by the Song Kingdom, they are all cancelled! ”

Hiss!

After Yan Yungong's words, it caused a lot of storm in the Daqing Palace, and the ministers were in an uproar. Even Zhao Yan, who lived above the Dragon Court, looked slightly moved.

The so-called New Year's coins are only a few hundred thousand yuan, which is not a burden for today's imperial court. But the only thing that made the Great Song Dynasty and the opposition unwilling and humiliated was the relationship between the uncle and nephew of the two countries!

There is a generation lower between countries, and you can imagine what a great shame this is for the people. Therefore, when Zhao Yan and the ministers heard that this relationship had eased, they couldn't help but be stunned.

If it is changed to a brotherly relationship, although Jin Guo is still honored as a brother, at least it is a fellowship of the same generation.

Li Renyou watched coldly from the sidelines, and then said to himself: "What a big deal, it seems that a good show is about to appear......"

"What His Royal Highness King Yue said is extremely true, a dragon battle is inevitable! But no matter who wins or loses, we should only be spectators! Luo Wanming, the prime minister of the left, twisted his beard lightly and smiled slightly.

"Interesting!"

At this moment, Xiao Duolubu of the Liao State Mission looked around at the courtiers, but he didn't see Ye Yu's figure, and he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, and then silently said to himself: "Isn't this kid being released as an official?" ”

"Brother, I really didn't expect this Jin Kingdom to play such a hand, and now even the eight academies of the Song Kingdom are unmatched, it seems that they are Zhizhu in the hands of Zhizhu!"

[Yelupu finished quickly] didn't pay attention to what Xiao Duolubu was thinking, but felt solemn about the situation at the scene.

The so-called benefits must be taken secretly!

Jin Guo dares to make such a concession, then it shows that while Cheng Zhu is in his chest, it will also indicate that what he asks for will not be too ordinary.

"That's right, sweeping the eight academies of the Song Kingdom in five days, it seems that the eight mountain people of the Jin Kingdom have reached the peak of their respective skills! If it is a competition, the Song Dynasty may still have capable people to compete with it, but these eight items are ......"
