Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

The weasel didn't have a good heart to give the chickens a New Year's greeting.

The above two sentences are the result of the accumulated experience of the vast number of working people over thousands of years. In this vast land of China, it can be said that it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is a household name.

Based on the wisdom in these two sentences, the reaction of the Southern Song Dynasty court to the "great news" brought back by the envoy Wang Lun from the Dajin Kingdom was: "The discussion is turbulent, and the ministers are right, and the rate is not to be believed." ”

The ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty court wrote one after another, strongly opposing Wan Yanchang's betrayal of the Jin State.

(It's always a bit awkward, but it's true.) ）

Wang Shu, the deputy privy envoy, took the lead in writing. His saying is: "Those who ask for peace without reason seek also." ”

The Jurchens' sudden desire to return Henan, Shaanxi and other places must be a big conspiracy of the opponent, and it must not be believed.

He pointed out from a strategic perspective that the purpose of the Jin people's plot to cede land this time was to shake the hearts of the Southern Song Dynasty and to disperse the forces of the Southern Song Dynasty, so that the Jin people could make a big move and invade the Song Dynasty in the future.

Supervising the imperial history Zhang Jie's book, pointing out that "the reward of merit is the first of disaster".

The two countries were originally at peace with each other, but the Jin State suddenly wanted to hand over the land to the Southern Song Dynasty, which must have ulterior motives, and it must not be taken lightly.

Yan Dun, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, pointed out in the recital: There are three purposes for the Jin State to return the land: first, since the Jin State dares to return the land to us, it must be calculated that we can't stand it; second, to lure us in the Southern Song Dynasty to defend the plains from the danger of Jianghuai, and lose its geographical advantage; Third, the golden people know. Once our army entered Shaanxi. Warriors from the Northwest will immediately become deserters. Run home......

In addition, Feng Shixing, the Zuo Fengyi Lang, Xiang Ziyan, the Hubu Shilang, Zeng Kai, the Rite Ministry's Lang and Attendant, and Fan Rugui, the Secretary of the Province, also reminded Emperor Gaozong that the return of the land was a great conspiracy of the Jurchens, and the purpose must have been to completely and completely eliminate the Southern Song regime.

Be vigilant, the reactionaries are not dead.

This kind of lively and extraordinary scene is, of course, indispensable to our Generalissimo Yue Fei.

Yue Fei wrote on the recital: "I am willing to plan for total victory, expect to collect land in the two rivers, and swallow the clouds at your fingertips." In the end, he wanted to take revenge and repay the country, swore to heaven and earth, and still ordered the chief to be called a vassal......

The text of this piece is very elegant, but the meaning is very rough.

It doesn't matter what the fuck is discussing or not negotiating, cutting the ground or not, let's talk about it first

In June of the eighth year of Shaoxing, with the arrival of Wuling Simou, the envoy of the Jin State and the governor of the Hebei Road Establishment Capital, the counterargument and movement in Lin'an Mansion reached a peak.

The secretary of the provincial orthography and the history museum surveyed Fan Rugui strongly objected.

Jingdong Huaidong Xuanfu disposed of Han Shizhong strongly opposed.

Yan Dun, the servant of the ministry, strongly disagreed.

Wei Gang, the servant of the ministry, strongly objected.

Hu Quan, the editor of the Privy Council, strongly disagreed.

……

Among them, the most fierce opposition was the Privy Council Deputy Envoy Wang Shu, who wrote seven times in a row.

Wang Shu had two pieces of music at that time, which caused a great resonance in Lin'an Mansion. One of them reads as follows:

"The first emperor went north and did not recover, and the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth were angry. Your Majesty and the thief have a bitter enmity. Bear with it again? What it will be in the heart, what it will be tolerant. What will it say? And the discussion and land cutting are just two things: painting Huai and painting the river. If it is said that painting Huai is the boundary, then my inherent, safe and for? If it is said that the river is the boundary, then thousands of miles of thorns and hazelnuts in the east and west, no one's land, if I want to stay in the army to defend it, and the wealth has nowhere to come out, he will ask for the silk to reunite me. It is better to restrain them and be angry. ”

Another wrote:

"Your Majesty was hunting in the north of the two palaces, the dragon flew to Suiyang, crossed the river with horses, sailed in a flat boat, and even the changes of Miao and Liu, all kinds of difficulties were difficult, and there was no harm in the end. Your Majesty is the Prime Minister of Heaven. Although it has not been able to recover the old frontier today, Luanyu is moving smoothly, and the generals are in the stars, the official army Yuntun, and Baidu Xiuju, compared with the previous day, it can be described as well-off. Why don't you remember the hatred of your parents, don't think about the shame of the temple, don't hurt the humiliation of the palace, don't sympathize with the injustices of the people, go against the sky and people, and do things to ruin! ”

Wang Shu's two consecutive chapters, almost bloody, tears and tears, as if pointing at Emperor Gaozong's nose and scolding, almost did not care about the emperor's face and dignity.

But at this time, Emperor Gaozong was no longer the Nine Princes who were in distress back then, and his endurance was far beyond everyone's imagination.

Emperor Gaozong not only did not blame Wang Shu, but also let him participate in negotiations with the envoy of the Jin State.

In this way, our Lord Wang Shu will be overwhelmed

The kindness of the Jin State doves such as Wanyan Chang and Wanyan Zongpan was able to cause such a big mess in the Southern Song Dynasty. The reason may be that no one thought that there would be traitors in the Jin country, and everyone was not psychologically prepared, so they were in chaos for a while.

The traitors have heard a lot, and no one thought that there would be a Jurchen traitor.

Of course, this is not the main reason.

The main reason is that the land cession plan of the Jin State doves requires the Southern Song Dynasty to exchange "sincerity". And this so-called "sincerity" means that the Southern Song Dynasty must pay tribute to the ministers of the Jin State.

It's better to pay tribute, after all, there was a precedent in the previous dynasty. But "being a minister" is different, "being a minister" means that the Southern Song Dynasty court also has to cancel the name of the country, and can only exist as a vassal of the Jin State.

Such a price can be swallowed by the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty who have a good face.

Frankly speaking, it is really not good for the Jurchens to engage in politics, and such a simple thing as betraying the country will make both sides angry and resentful, and both sides will not reach the shore.

It can be seen that such an unreliable agreement is doomed to a lose-lose situation from the beginning

Emperor Gaozong's current situation is not very good.

In the case of opposition from both the government and the opposition, Emperor Gaozong's realization could only be "very strong, often refusal, or angry".

Despite this, under the surging emotions, Emperor Gaozong was still quite passive. The most important point is that Emperor Gaozong and Qin Hui failed to cite a single reason for accepting the peace treaty of Jin.

From a military point of view. The achievements of Yue Fei, Wu Jue and Han Shizhong in the past few days are there. Today's Southern Song Dynasty court has no need to fear the Jin State at all.

From the point of view of the international situation. The puppet Qi Liu Yu had just been deposed, and the Central Plains region was in chaos, which was extremely beneficial to the Southern Song Dynasty.

From the analysis of financial resources, in recent years, the Jiangnan region has been in good weather, there are no thieves, the tax revenue of the imperial court has soared, and the comprehensive strength of the country is booming.

So suppose there is no explanation. Or there is no reason that is even barely justified, Emperor Gaozong is not good at being arbitrary and insisting on going his own way.

At this time, our left minister, Zhao Ding, made a move.

After an early dynasty, Zhao Ding stayed alone and said such a thing to Emperor Gaozong.

"Your Majesty and the Jin people have a common enmity, and now it is a bending body to ask for peace, which is not a good thing; However, His Majesty is not afraid to do it, and everyone thinks that Zigong and his mother and brother's ears. The indignation of the ministers was out of love for the king, not for other reasons. There is no need to think of a deep sin. Your Majesty should say: 'It is not a good thing to talk about peace and sincerity, for the sake of Zigong and his mother and brother.' As a last resort. The speaker is not convinced of the enemy; But Dezi Palace, his mother and brother are still missing today, and tomorrow they will be in the Chongqing League, and I will have a lot to do. This is not intended to be peaceful. 'The ministers will be able to forgive each other with your majesty's filial piety. ”

Zhao Ding made up an excuse for Emperor Gaozong to accept the peace treaty of the Jin State - filial piety.

Zhao Ding's statement is that the reason why he wants to negotiate peace with the Jin State is mainly to exchange the Queen Mother, the Empress and other brothers who are still detained in the Jin State. When relatives are sent back, even if we tear up the contract, we will still earn it.

This Zhao Ding was actually instigating Emperor Gaozong to lie.

Sure enough, Emperor Gaozong threw out this excuse for peace talks in the early court the next day.

At that time, in the court, the privy deputy envoy Wang Shu proposed to behead this envoy of the Jin State named Wuling Simou, on the grounds that this Jurchen had collected the people to arrest the royal family when Kaifeng fell, and did all the bad things.

Take the opportunity to catch this mortal enemy and take revenge first!

At this time, Emperor Gaozong shook his head sadly, and said while sobbing: "Wang Aiqing, you have forgotten an important matter, you can't kill this person now, let alone obstruct the peace." My mother, your Queen Mother, is still suffering in the North, and now is the only chance to take her old man back to the South. I rule the world with filial piety, can't this little bit of motherhood, Aiqing can't be fulfilled? ”

Speaking of the sore spot in his heart, Emperor Gaozong couldn't hold back his tears like rain, and he couldn't cry.

As expected, the civil and military officials under the dragon bed were either out of courtesy, filial piety, or sycophants, and they all burst into tears.

In the Song Dynasty, science prevailed, the supremacy of heavenly principles, and filial piety was the greatest heavenly principle.

Zhao Ding's move is really good

Just when Emperor Gaozong was secretly happy, in the court, suddenly a person who understood came out and told a story in public:

"At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when Chu and Han were fighting. Once Xiang Yu grabbed Liu Bang's father and threatened Liu Bang that if he didn't surrender, he would cook his father.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bang replied - I am a Weng, and I will want to cook and Weng, so I will be fortunate to share a piece of the pie.

Xiang Yu didn't expect Liu Bang to be so reckless, so he had to let him go. ”

When everyone saw it, this person turned out to be Zuo Fengyi Lang Feng Shixing.

After Feng Yilang finished telling the story, he continued to explain: "At this time, the Song and Jin fought each other, which was even more dangerous than the struggle between Chu and Han, and it was already an endless situation between the two peoples, how could the entire nation be asked to submit in the name of one mother? Besides, such submission will not bring peace, let alone equality! His Majesty the Emperor should learn from Comrade Liu Bang, work hard to cheer up, and say the same diplomatic rhetoric of Liu Bang to the Jurchens......"

Feng Shixing's statement is actually a sentence: which matter is more important. In the end, it is important for the society to be important or for personal interests.

And this sentence happened to be the death hole of Emperor Gaozong.

Emperor Gaozong's face turned white, cold sweat broke out, and he thought:

"Isn't it? How good are you guys, I've worked so hard to find an excuse, and you've vetoed it like this, isn't it too much? ”。 (To be continued......)
