Chapter 17 Beat Him Three Thousand Times
In ancient Chinese history, the vast majority of dynasties had a marriage relationship of harmony or the nature of harmony. And the occurrence of harmony is always related to certain historical conditions. These historical conditions can be broadly divided into two categories: first, the state of political division, in which the two sides of the split have the desire and conditions to pass; Second, there is no strong national prejudice against the inferior.
On the one hand, the Liao, Western Xia, and Jin all had confrontations with the Song and posed a serious threat to the Song at that time, while they were all on good terms and maintained a long period of relative peace. However, in fact, the Song Dynasty not only did not take the initiative to make peace with the outside world, but also rejected the Liao and Western Xia's courtship.
Because the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty had a deep reflection and understanding of the issue of harmony in history and reality, they formed their own unique concept of harmony. The rise of the Song Dynasty's science with the main content of emphasizing heavenly principles and ethics made the traditional concept of Yixia defense deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, most of them were bound by the narrow Confucian moral concept, and it was natural for them to oppose the policy of harmony and proximity to ethics and morality.
Therefore, when the Song Dynasty negotiated peace with Liao, Xia, and Jin, it would rather give more gold silk than marry a daughter and a relative. Because of this, when Liao Xingzong asked the Song Dynasty to replace the land with peace and coins, the Song Dynasty allowed the increase in coins, but refused to make peace. In the hearts of Song Renzong and the minister Fu Bi and others who participated in the negotiations, the land cession was undoubtedly a loss of power and humiliation to the country, and peace with relatives was a great loss of dignity, so they refused for various reasons.
Zhao Huan and the ministers did not dare to break this confinement at the last time, and Zhao Ta even released cruel words, the prince must take the minister's children as his attendants. The princess and her relatives shall accompany her wives and daughters to the kingdom of gold. If you want to die together, the emperor thinks so. When you hear it, you have to take your own home. No one mentioned the matter of harmony, and Zhao Ta was suspended again for reflection...
A few rotten people were above the court, and they beat their wishful thinking loudly, but unfortunately the world was not as they expected. The pace of the Jin army did not stop because of the forbearance of the Great Song Dynasty. The Zonghan army of the West Road captured Fenzhou and pacified the army one after another, and the flames of war were about to burn under the nose.
After thinking about it, Zhao Huan finally made up his mind, and sent Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, to Hebei to negotiate peace with the Jin people, promised to cede the land of the three towns to the Jin State, and bought Wu Qi a honorific title. Respect as the emperor's uncle, in short, as long as he can make the Jin country retreat, he will do whatever it takes. As soon as Zhao Gou walked out of the capital, Wang Wei, the envoy of the Jin army, came to Bianjing, saying that the Jin army had crossed the Yellow River, and now it is no longer asking for the cession of the three towns, but directly taking the Yellow River as the boundary, and the prince of the peace agreement will also be replaced by the king of Yan, and ask for gold silks, chariots, and rituals. The main emblem of gold.
Zhao Huan, who grew up in the deep palace, usually looks at the gods and heroes, but when it comes to the critical moment, he hangs up and completely loses the ability to make decisions. I just asked you again and again: "How is it good?" How is it good? "When the ministers fight cocks and lackeys on weekdays, they are all in high spirits; And once faced with military affairs, they are at a loss. Only look at each other, stunned...
"Emperor Song, it's better to make a decision as soon as possible. The marshal of my family does not have so much patience, otherwise he will not be bounded by the Yellow River when he crosses the Yellow River! "Wang Wei has already figured out the temper of the people of the Song Dynasty. The temper is getting bigger and bigger, and the arrogance is getting bigger, and they are no longer taken into account at all.
"Your Majesty, we should still respond!" Geng Nanzhong said with a sigh.
"Your Majesty, the situation is critical, if you don't agree, I'm afraid that the Jin people will come to the city again!" Tang Ke also hurriedly seconded the proposal.
"The ministers seconded the proposal, Your Majesty must put state affairs first!" 'Hula' came out in one piece, and they all demanded compensation for land cession and early peace.
"Hehe, traitorous ministers and dark lords, it is better to descend our Dajin Kingdom as soon as possible, bow down to Fan, you people are also worthy of being called benevolent monarchs and virtuous ministers, a bunch of wine bags and rice bags!" Wang Xiao sneered and said, his scolding swept all the kings and ministers in the palace into it, but they were all frightened by the Jurchens, and no one dared to answer, and cowardice once again defeated their so-called dignity.
"Hehe, you think you'll be an adult when you put on a dress, and you dare to make a big deal here!" When Wang Wei was looking proudly at the great Song monarch and the beauty of the palace in the palace, a person suddenly stood up, grabbed the pigtail on the back of his head and pulled it back, Wang Xiao leaned back in pain, but he didn't prevent someone from tripping behind his feet, and he fell steadily.
"Don't be rude!" Zhao Huan on the throne was shocked, but it was already too late, and Wang Wei was already lying on the ground.
"Your Majesty, my brother will beat him up another 3,000 times today!" Zhao Ta listened to Wang Xiao's provocations several times, but none of those who kept saying that they were willing to die for the emperor all day long were willing to stand up, and they didn't even dare to say a word, so he could only do it himself.
Wang Xiao was stuck in the neck, his chest was pressed against his knees, he couldn't get up if he wanted to, let alone fight back, he could still have a good hand under Zhao Tan's 'Five Finger Mountain', he couldn't help but howl after a few slaps, Tang Ke on the side couldn't help but tremble, as if he slapped his face, and secretly screamed in his heart that he was lucky, if he hadn't run fast that day, he might have ended up with Jin Envoy!
"Where is the Zhendian warrior, quickly pull King Yan away!" Seeing that the golden envoy was out of tune, but no one dared to step forward, the old injuries on Geng Nanzhong's body were good, and he didn't want to add new injuries, so he shouted that the Zhendian warrior stepped forward.
"King Yan, quickly make amends to the Golden Envoy!" It took a lot of effort for the four Zhendian warriors to pull King Yan away, and Geng Nanzhong hurriedly helped Wang Wei up, pointed at Zhao Ta and shouted.
"This person is His Royal Highness King Yan?" That Wang Xiaozheng straightened his hat, but asked Geng Nanzhong first.
"Exactly, this person is rude and offended your envoy, we will severely punish your envoy and give an explanation!" Geng Nanzhong said, this time Prince Yan is dead, and now everyone can't coax him, but you beat people up, do you think you beat me!
But Wang Wei's action made the entire hall drop their jaws, only to see him shake off Geng Nanzhong, kneel on one knee, give a salute, and said: "The little envoy doesn't know that it is His Royal Highness King Yan, there are many collisions, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me for the crime of disrespect!" "The people in the palace have one idea in their minds at this time, is this Jurchen cheap, coaxing him to play tricks with you with good words, and it is comfortable to beat him?
"Do you want this king to go to peace talks?" Zhao Ta shook his shoulders and shook the four Zhendian warriors aside and asked.
"The little one is just a tiny official, where can he have this guts, our marshal has heard of His Highness's name for a long time, and he especially wants to meet His Highness's Shenwu!" Wang Wei replied respectfully.
"Is it a ghost idea after being defeated by this king in Taiyuan, I want to let this king go, and then take the opportunity to kill this king to avenge the revenge of the day. Hmph, you Jurchens will play this trick that can't be put on the table, I advise him to save it, if he has the ability, he will do it with real knives and guns on the battlefield, that's what the hero does! Zhao Tan didn't appreciate it and teased Wang Weidao.
"Hehe, Marshal Zong Han also praised the hero of King Yan, but this time Marshal Zong Wang really wants to invite you to play for a few days, by the way, talk about the affairs of the two countries, and say that the slanted handsome man has repeatedly ordered, he can only invite with good words, and he must not be strong, let alone harmful!" Wang Xiao said with a smile.
"Oh, the slanted handsome still remembers this king, I thought he had long forgotten the past!" Speaking of oblique, Zhao Ta's face softened slightly.
"Of course, Du Shuai is the most righteous, and the grace of King Yan's help is often mentioned, whenever it comes to the world's famous generals, you must mention King Yan, it is also admired! This time, I will also ask the small one to double the money owed that year, and the small one will be sent to the house in person in the future! Wang Xiao said with a smile on his face, how polite and polite it is, if it weren't for the people in the palace who saw it with their own eyes, who would dare to believe that this guy had just scolded the emperor together, and his arrogance was boundless.
"It's also benevolent, if you miss him too, you won't suffer from this flesh and skin!" Zhao Ta glanced at Wang Xiao and said.
"Yes, it's a little rudeness, it's a crime of King Yan's tiger power, it should be beaten!" Wang Xiao touched his swollen face and nodded and said, before leaving, he received a strict order from Xian Ye not to be rude to King Yan, otherwise he would not come back, and Han Li asked him to get King Yan no matter what method he used, otherwise... Everyone understands, so although Wang Xiao's mouth is like honey, he almost died of grievance in his heart.
"If you know that you are rude, then make amends to my lord!" Zhao Ta snorted coldly.
"This..."Wang Wei hesitated, but when he saw King Yan's sharp eyes, he felt a boundless murderous aura surging towards him, and he didn't dare to provoke him to be mad, so he saluted the emperor on the throne so-so, "My Dajin warrior admires heroes the most, but His Majesty can't be called heroes!" ”
"Excuse me, take the golden envoy to recuperate, and take care of it!" Zhao Huan was helpless and breathless when he heard this, the Jurchen meant that he was not as good as his brother at all, and there was a trace of resentment in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Tan, and he had no intention of discussing it again, announcing his retreat from the dynasty.
"There is really such a strange thing in the world, in the past, we sent money to the Jin Kingdom, but today the Jurchen people want to send money to King Yan, and double it!"
"You still don't understand this, I didn't hear the Jin envoy say that they are the heaviest heroes, King Yan won three battles and three victories in Hedong, and the killed Zong Han lost his armor and fled, and he didn't dare to engage in the battle at all. And the oblique also defeated when the Liao was defeated, I heard that it was the king of Yan who sent troops to rescue him, he was repaying the favor, although the two countries fought against him, he did not dare to rely on it, otherwise the king of Yan would not chase him to his nest! ”
"Shhhh Then what happened to King Yan beating him for 3,000 times? ”
"I don't understand this, didn't King Yan beat that Yu Lu who was fined for half a year!"
"Oh, it's not King Yan's half-year salary, it's three thousand yuan, this is another half a year!"
……
Listening to the discussions of his colleagues, Geng Nanzhong, who was walking in front, felt that his blood pressure had risen to at least two hundred, and if he didn't deal with this Yan King anymore, he really had no face to mess around in the court anymore... (To be continued......)
