Chapter 63: The Weeping Icon
Guiyou and Uluchi could barely stand when they saw the line of red letters, and what happened in front of them could not be explained except by miracles, and the two of them froze in place without shame, and their colleagues also secretly determined that they would never let the statue of Taizu suffer such a misfortune.

Zhao Zheng looked at the expressions of the two, thinking that in the next round, you should take out the coffin and bid for it.
As the statue of Jochi was smashed by Wang Fucai, the atmosphere at the scene was tense to the extreme, Zhao Zheng glanced at the audience with great satisfaction, looking at Jin Guo and Mongolia with a look of ambition, and he was very nervous, thinking of how good it would be if there was a suspenseful background music at this time.
Next up for auction is the icon of Akuta.
"The reserve price is 5 million yuan, and the price is increased by 500,000 yuan each time, and you can use other items such as land, jewelry, etc. as collateral." As soon as Zhao Zheng's hammer fell, Wanyan Shouchun increased to six million.
After the destruction of the Jochi icon just now, Guiyou and Uluchi became more and more determined that this is the apocalypse, and this Akuta icon Jin Guo will definitely be determined to win, in order to let Jin Guo's financial resources bottom out in this round, and not let Wanyan Shouchun have the spare strength to make trouble in the next round, so Guiyou and Uluchi coincided with the crazy price hike.
After Gui You had just shouted out seven million guan, Uluchi also shouted eight million guan.
Wanyan Shouchun's face was extremely ugly, he saw through the other party's deliberate behavior of raising the price at a glance, but he had to increase the price, he couldn't hand over the statue of Taizu Aguda to the Mongols, Wanyan Shouchun couldn't imagine how the other party would insult and destroy the icon when he got the icon, that was the Jin country couldn't afford the bad luck.
"Nine million!" Wanyan Shouchun gritted his teeth and shouted out this number, he didn't want to cede the land to the Song Kingdom as a last resort, even if it was nominally, the land that was not in his hands.
How could Zhao Zheng let Wanyan Shouchun get his wish, and gave Wang Fucai a look.
"Eleven million times!" Wang Fucai shouted loudly.
Wanyan Shouchun was not calm on the spot, and protested to Zhao Zheng.
"National Teacher, I think it is necessary to find out if this person can afford more than 10 million yuan! Otherwise, some people maliciously raise the price, and the auction will not be able to go on normally. ”
Of course, Wang Fucai can't take out more than 10 million yuan of property, but after the auction, Wang Fucai's identity will definitely be discovered, so it is better to show Wang Fucai's identity at this time.
"Of course, he can get it, and the glass workshop alone is worth 50 million yuan."
"! The glass workshop is your workshop of the national teacher, which is known all over the world! Wan Yan Shouchun felt that he was openly being played like a monkey, and he felt very angry.
Zhao Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, this Wang Fucai represents the patriotic businessman of the Song Kingdom, and naturally represents me." ”
There was an uproar in the audience, and Guiyou and Uluchi openly protested, so that this auction was clearly a trap, and there was no reason to bid for their own things.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you have misunderstood, although this icon was excavated by my people, but its ownership belongs to the imperial court, and this holy icon was forcibly expropriated by the imperial court twenty days ago. So Zhao is not angry, that's right! I'm here to find fault! Zhao Zheng had an expression of you coming to bite me, and he was so angry that he pulled out his knife directly.
"Stop!" The Mongolian language of the Song Kingdom roared to stop Guiyou's impulse, and then hundreds of crossbowmen came in from outside the cabin with bows and crossbows aimed at Guiyou.
"This icon is related to the fortune of the country, you think that everyone in the Song Kingdom is willing to send this icon to your hands! Although this court was suppressed by Shi Xianggong's words, you should remember that there are still thousands of people like me in the Song Kingdom, and I don't want you to welcome the holy statue back to your country. If you want to get the icon, you must not only show your greatest sincerity, but also defeat thousands of people like me in the Song Kingdom! ”
Wang Fucai was the first to applaud, and then some officials reluctantly applauded, since ancient times, the lord and unpopular, this situation of course has to stand on the side of the national teacher, otherwise everything that happened in this boat today will be spread, and their reputation will stink.
Although Zhao Zheng's statement was unreasonable, it seemed reasonable and reasonable, and it would be strange if the Song government and the opposition agreed that they would welcome the statue back to their own country.
So at this time, the battle line has changed again, Wanyan Shouchun is now bent on welcoming the holy idol of Akuda back to the Jin Kingdom, as for the holy idol of Temujin, he really feels that he is powerless to intervene now. Therefore, he decided not to participate in the bidding for the statue of Temujin, and Guiyou and Uluchi had the same idea.
"Alright, eleven million times for the first time!"
"Fifteen million guan!" Wanyan Shouchun gritted his teeth and shouted out of this family, the maximum amount of property given to him by Jin Aizong was 12 million guan, and any more would affect the payment of military salaries.
And Zhao Zheng privately revealed to him that the price of Song Guo's side was a state worth five million guan, and Yan Shouchun had to do it himself, and the Jin State had completely lost control over seven or eight prefectures and counties in Shandong, and these states and counties were neither in the hands of Jin nor Mongolia, but in the hands of the righteous army, and they belonged to independent kingdoms, and there was no loss for all Jin countries to cede these states and counties.
Zhao Zheng knew that Jin Guo still had chips, so he asked Wang Fucai to continue to raise the price, but not too much, otherwise Jin Guo would directly pick the child, and Zhao Zheng didn't know where to cry.
"Fifteen hundred and fifty!" Wang Fucai's offer made Wanyan Shouchun see hope, and the other party's financial resources seemed to be stretched.
"Seventeen million guan!" Wanyan Shouchun felt that the other party should be powerless to parry this offer, and couldn't help but start celebrating in his heart. But the voice of the dead fat man in Song Guo came again: "17.5 million guan!" ”
"Nineteen million guan! National Teacher! Wanyan Shouchun added the word national teacher at the end, which seemed to mean asking for help, Zhao Zheng knew that he had reached the limit of Jinguo's bearing, and he would accept it when he saw it.
"Nineteen million once!" No one responded, and Wanyan Shouchun's heart was a little settled.
"Nineteen million times!" The venue was silent, and Wanyan Shouchun's heart began to get excited, and the icon seemed to be within reach!
"Nineteen million three times!" As Zhao Zheng's hammer landed, Wanyan Shouchun basically fell to his knees and was paralyzed.
"King Jing, I don't know what your country will pay for these nineteen million guan?" Zhao Zheng's voice appeared out of place.
Wanyan Shouchun looked at Zhao Zheng with a pale face, he was going to cede the land of the two states to the Song State for this nineteen million yuan, but it was a secret agreement and could not be known to outsiders, otherwise he would have to bear the sin of cutting the land.
Zhao Zheng will do what he wants, what the Jin State is going to cede is not under his control, and he needs the Song State to take it from the righteous army himself, and if he does not cede it publicly, it is equivalent to getting nothing.
"National teacher, why bother to force each other so much!" Wanyan Shouchun looked at Zhao Zheng with a sad face.
"If this matter is not made public, what difference does it make between Song Guo and not?" Zhao Zheng made his position clear, so that Wanyan Shouchun knew in his heart that there was no chance of luck.
"The Jin State ceded Chuzhou, Sizhou and Song State, and it was worth 10 million guan! Another nine million yuan, with grain, gold and silver, silk, and silk as collateral! As soon as Yan Shouchun's words came out, the audience was in an uproar, obviously the vast majority of people present did not know the inside story. The officials of the Song State were even more excited, if the cession of these two states was successful, it would be tantamount to opening up the territory and expanding the territory, and the Song State had never had such a feat since the opening of the Shenzong River!
"The Jin State is at war at this time, and for a while, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the war, and besides, nearly half of the counties in Chuzhou and Sizhou are in the Song State, and they are not worth 10 million guan, so I propose that you cede another Haizhou, and the Jin State will give the Song State another 5 million guan of property to welcome back the holy icon!"
Zhao Zheng's words made Wanyan Shouchun fall into a huge struggle, what Zhao Zheng said does have some truth, now that the decisive battle between Jin and Mongolia is imminent, this money and food are already in short supply, it is better to cede a nominal state to the cost-effective.
"Cession of two is also cession, and three is also cession, King Jing is destined to seek the country at the cost of his life!"
Zhao Zheng's words of consolation made Wanyan Shouchun completely determined: "Just follow the words of the national teacher!" ”
"Scrivener, write out the cession paperwork, and hand it over to the political hall tomorrow for stamping, and then bring it to King Jing to sign!" Zhao Zheng's dripping command made Wan Yan Shouchun smile miserably.
"National teacher, now this king can bring back the holy icon!"
Zhao Zheng laughed: "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!" King Jing doesn't have to bother anymore. ”
Wanyan Shouchun sighed: "That national teacher, can this king get close and say a few words to the great grandfather?" ”
Zhao Zheng nodded, finished finishing his clothes and walked to the statue.
"Grandpa Tai, the children and grandchildren are not filial, causing the Jiangshan Sheji to fear falling into the hands of thieves, and the face is pure and ashamed of the king, and the people of Li are guilty, in order to welcome back the holy icon, cede the land of Sanzhou, this crime is in yourself, don't blame the emperor's brother......"
Wanyan Shouchun finally collapsed to the ground, tears rained down, and the bitter scene of the ruined country and broken family came to his face, so that Zhao Zheng didn't feel a little sad!
A hundred years ago, the Song Kingdom, thousands of Li Shu, went to the national disaster together, presumably the same scene!
