As the saying goes, 'one mountain does not allow two tigers, and one river does not allow two Jiao', and now there are two emperors in the Great Song Dynasty, although the emperor is not in charge of affairs, but he also has a certain influence, even Zhao Ta sometimes has to make concessions. Zhao Gou, who almost failed to ascend the throne, seems to be silent now, and he is at ease to be his free prince, and he is also very deferential in his face, but he is not convinced in his heart, and he scolded Zhao Taman many times in private, saying that he is arrogant and usurping the throne, and he is the heir designated by Emperor Jingkang, but he is just a tiger without minions, and he can only complain.

Zhao Huan is different, he has been the emperor for a few years, and he has promoted and reused a group of people, and some of these people have been retained by Zhao Ta in addition to the dead, and some have been dismissed and exiled, so there will naturally be resentment in their hearts, many of them have been in high positions, and they are naturally unwilling to sink, and once the first emperor returns to the country, he will definitely take refuge in vassals. Although it may not be able to threaten Zhao Ta's increasingly stable throne, it will also cause a lot of trouble, so Zhao Ren is a little worried.

"Alas, I also know what you said, it is a headache to deal with, but you have to think that the king of a country is captured by foreigners, it is a national shame, how can we disgrace the Great Song Dynasty because of our own selfishness; Moreover, Jin Guo was afraid that he would not be at ease for a long time, but he was afraid that it would cause more trouble! Zhao Ta pinched his forehead and said.

"Oh, the second master was worried that the Jin Kingdom would not be able to win the war for a long time, so he took a desperate step and made the King of Liao the emperor, using the brother as the younger brother, forming a saw-saw situation between the north and the south. At that time, the north and south of the Song Dynasty will stand side by side, and we will not fight, nor will we fight! Zhao Ren immediately thought of this.

Back then, the Jurchens once set up Zhang Bangchang as the emperor and wanted to 'control the raze with raze', but they would not have thought of this, and it was very likely that they would repeat the old tricks. And Zhao Huan and Zhang Bangchang are different. He was once the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was more demagogic than Zhang Bangchang. Beat. Brother Ni Wall, in the same room. The unlucky ones were the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Jurchen fishermen profited; If you don't fight, which one is Li Kui and which one is Li Ghost must always be clearly distinguished, and an orthodox one must be established, and in the end, you have to divide the high and low on the battlefield. In short, in any case, it was the Jurchens who benefited.

"Yes, there must be political conspiracy in this, so we have to welcome back the King of Liao. But you have to do it quietly, and be seen by the Jurchens for flaws, otherwise the Jurchens will sit on the ground and raise the price, even if they welcome back the King of Liao, they will pay a heavy price! Zhao Ta nodded, very satisfied with Zhao Ren's answer, but he couldn't help but tell him to let the Jurchens grab their tails for the sake of the King of Liao.

"Second master, your subordinates are ignorant, please give me advice!" Zhao Ren was a little confused, since he had to welcome back the King of Liao. And without paying the price, this job is difficult to do.

"Alas, Zhao Ren, you are still acting in a strange way. Don't forget the sophistry of the soldiers! Zhao Ta sighed and said with some hatred, why hasn't this kid grown up after being in the court for so long, he must have been damaged by Li Gang and Zong Ze. He shouted outside the hall, "Zhao Zhong don't stand at the door. Tell him about it! ”

"Second master, what do you call me?" Zhao Zhongzhi, who was on duty outside the palace, said that today, the emperor and Zhao Ren have important matters to discuss. Therefore, he personally stood guard outside the hall, and when he heard the greeting, he hurriedly entered the temple and saluted.

"Brother Zhong, the second master asked you to guide me!" Zhao Ren saluted Zhao Zhong first, he knew that since the Emperor of the Dao Dao called him in, he had no intention of hiding it from Zhao Zhong, but he still hid the things in front of him, and only said how to welcome back the King of Liao.

"Hey, Brother Ren, why did you forget our old business when we were in Beifu, we must not say good things when we buy things, let alone let him see what he wants, so the second master also told us a story, you forgot?" Zhao Zhong immediately said after hearing this, but he did not answer Zhao Ren's question, but mentioned the matter when they were a small servant in Beifu.

"Qin Mugong's story of exchanging five sheepskins for the country's prime minister!" Zhao Ren thought about it for a while, and recalled the events of that year, when there was still a shortage of money in the house, everything had to be carefully calculated, and the emperor also taught a lesson to a few of them who were responsible for purchasing.

"That's right! The second master has taught us this trick a long time ago, you must have been busy with the peace discussion, and you haven't slept well for a few days! Zhao Zhong said and touched Zhao Ren's head and said.

"Hehe, don't pretend in front of your own brother!" Zhao Ren opened Zhao Zhong's hand with a smile and said, he knew that Zhao Zhong was afraid of his embarrassment, so he didn't mention teaching, but faked the words of the emperor and quietly instructed himself, saving him enough face.

"You have always been thin-skinned, it's not that you're afraid that you won't be able to hit your head and die in the hall, I still have to collect your body, it's really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, and I said that I pretended!" Zhao Zhong couldn't stop complaining.

"Go, am I that unbearable?" Zhao Ren feigned anger and said, "Second Master, my subordinates have a request...", he turned to the emperor and saluted.

"Don't get involved with me, I'm not going!" Before Zhao Ren finished speaking, Zhao Zhong realized something and shouted.

"Hehe, I'm going to Pingzhou with Zhao Zhong as the deputy envoy of the peace conference to negotiate with the Jin State!" Zhao Ta looked at them laughing, and his mood was much better, and he said with a smile...

…………

After the negotiation began, Zhao Ren had the same headache as Wanyan Xi Gu Nai, he was the only one of the few old men who followed Ah Gu to fight the army, and dealing with the Southern Dynasty used to be a matter of silver skills, and now the old man was burned into a handful of ashes and sent back to Shangjing, and the emperor handed over the negotiation to Xi Gu Nai, an old and serious minister.

"The Jin Kingdom returned the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and ceded the lands of the two Prefectures of Dading Mansion and Linhuang Mansion; When returning to the south, the emperor's honor guard, the queen mother's chariot, the queen's, the prince's, the courtesy, the ritual vessels, ritual scriptures, ritual maps, musical instruments, etc., looted from the imperial city of Bianjing when they went south, and the antique cultural relics such as the Wenwangqin, Nuwa Sheng, and Confucius crown are also in the scope of the return; Music books, movements, sacrificial vessels, Jiuding Gui, armillary spheres, bronze figures, carved leaks, ancient artifacts, royal library collections, images of ancient sages, four-character pictures of the imperial city palace, the tribute of the state of the world, the collection of Song humanities, the book of yin and yang medicine, all articles and classics, Confucianism, interpretation, Taoist classics, etc.! ”

"Anything else?" Xi Gu Nai listened to the senators under his command read the conditions listed by the Southern Dynasty, and his heart was irritable.

"Yes, my lord!" The senator was very impatient to see Xi Gunai, but there was still one below, so he could only continue to read, "The Jin State declared itself a vassal to the Great Song Dynasty, paid the annual coin, and paid a tribute of ginseng, Dongzhu, and mink; went to the Great Song Dynasty with the prince as a hostage; Compensation for the war losses of the Great Song Dynasty is 10,000 taels, 30 million taels of silver, 10,000 war horses, and 10,000 silk silks..."

"Don't read it, it's all about asking for things and money, this Zhao Er is in the eye of money!" Xi Gu Nai interrupted the senator's words with a frown.

"My lord, there are important people!" The senator hurriedly turned the page, and really found one after the most disastrous article, and hurriedly read: "Release the captured people of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the detained clans, ministers, monks and craftsmen!" ”

"Didn't you mention that they would be released back to their emperor?" Xi Gu Nai's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, and he asked again.

"My lord, no, not really!" The senator carefully read the note twice, but did not find what he said.

"It's really strange, Zhao Er claims to be loyal and unparalleled, but he only uses the word clan, and even their emperor doesn't want it!" Xi Gu Nai stood up and said in surprise.

"Hehe, what's so strange about this, the Great Song Dynasty is now the emperor of Zhao Er, and he is in the midst of a national disaster, which is not right. If Zhao Da is brought back to China, how can he deal with himself, it will not be still in him, right? If he can do it, he will be a saint! Wan Yan Zongxian, the deputy envoy of the Jin State Peace Council, shook his fan and said, "I don't care about the things that the Southern Dynasty asked for, and those books and scriptures must not be returned to them!" ”

"Alas, don't add to the chaos, now our army has failed one after another, lost the city and lost the land, the situation is reversed and is at a disadvantage, and it is still eyeing the border to commit another offense, but our dynasty has no soldiers to fight, if it can't meet the conditions listed by them, I'm afraid it won't rest, compared to losing the city and losing the land, your few broken books are nothing!" Xi Gu Nai looked at his deputy and said helplessly, Zong Han is really becoming more and more domineering now, and he is not at ease with himself, an old minister of the three dynasties, and he also sent his nerdy brother as a deputy envoy to monitor him.

Speaking of which, Yan Zongxian is also a strange flower of the Dajin Kingdom, he is Zong Han's younger brother, famous, can be called one of the two rare literary geniuses among the Jurchens, proficient in many Chinese, among the Jurchens at that time, Zongxian's literary level was basically second only to Comrade Xi Yin. When Zong Han and Zong Wang conquered Bianjing, Wanyan Zongxian did something that seemed very stupid to others, and while everyone was busy grabbing the spoils of war, Zong Xian didn't want anything, but took away a large number of books on etiquette and systems in the Song court.

Xi Yin, the number one figure in the Jurchen literary world, was also moved by Zong Xian's move and praised Zong Xian. Due to the influence of the old-timers, Zongxian was also relatively receptive to the things of the Han people, so he also strongly supported Wanyan's new policy reform plan. And they were ordered to redeem Wanyan Xiyin and the eldest prince Zongxuan at all costs to strengthen the strength of the reorganization faction, but at the beginning he was confused and stingy in those books, how could he not let Xi Gu be anxious.

Xi Gu is a veteran negotiator, and it is not unheard of this kind of trick to capture the old man, but it is extremely rare for a country like the Southern Dynasty to be so indifferent to such a major event related to the national system as the redemption of the former emperor, which makes him full of suspicions. At that time, he also knew a little about the disputes between several brothers in the Southern Dynasty for the position of the crown prince, and it was normal for each other to be dike, and Zongxian's words were also reliable.

But Xi Gu Nai knew that the cost of his own negotiation was not thick in the case of the military disadvantage of the Jin State, and there were not many cards that could be played in his hands, but Zhao Huan, the abolished emperor, was the trump card in his hands, if the Great Song Dynasty did not have the intention of redeeming it at all, then this trump card was worthless garbage, and his room for maneuver in the negotiations was too small, and what he had to do now was to brake quietly and see their true intentions......
