Chapter 3 Southerners and Northerners
Although Wanyan didn't understand what her father meant, she also knew that this was probably her father's last entrustment, he only felt that his eyes were sour and astringent, and he wanted to answer, but his throat was surging, and he didn't know what to say.
Wan Yan Lou patted him on the shoulder and smiled slightly.
He stood with his hands in his hands, and when the Han officials arrived, he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "You have come from afar to work hard, prepare a little wine, and wash the dust for the kings, please!" ”
At this time, he said Chinese, his voice was pure, and his tone was modest, and the Han officials first shook their heads, and then replied one after another: "This is too much to disturb adults, how dare you be." ”
"Okay, you're welcome, just take a seat."
Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, he suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It's late today, you don't have to give in, the elder is the chief, respect the age, how about it?" ”
That being said, in the end, the Han people have big rules, and everyone finally gives in, and in the end, they still follow the Yan Lou room, regardless of their official position, and only sit down according to their age.
The face of the living girl showed disdain, this group of Han officials, as prisoners, is still so pedantic.
He couldn't figure out what his father had taken a fancy to them.
After everyone sat down, Wan Yan Lou raised his glass and said with a smile: "There is nothing good, a glass of wine, I salute you first." ”
With that, tilt your neck and drink it all.
Wanyan Huonu looked at it in a hurry, knowing that her father's illness was the most taboo to drink, but she didn't dare to come forward to persuade her.
After Yan Lou's room, he was not as uncomfortable as he imagined, so he lit his chopsticks and gave way to the Han officials: "Everyone, please, you don't have to be polite." ”
The Han officials went all the way north, eating and drinking, and the hard work was extreme, at this time the room was warm like spring, the wine and meat were fragrant, where could they still stand it, and everyone drank the wine in their hands at the moment, and immediately the chopsticks fell like rain, and then did not stop.
After Yan Lou looked at it, he smiled, knowing that they were hungry, so he ordered: "Come here, bring wine and food again." ”
A group of subordinates responded outside, and immediately served wine and food in a steady stream, more than a dozen Han officials were hungry and ruthless, seeing each other like this, how could they be polite, naturally they were eating and chewing, and they didn't even say a few words.
Wanyan Lou didn't have much appetite for himself, so he clicked a few times with his chopsticks and took a few bites of some light side dishes. I was thinking about talking, but I coughed, and I coughed for a while, and I felt that my throat was sweet, and I knew that it was not good, so I quickly turned my head, pressed a towel on my mouth, and only took it away after half a ring.
Wanyan Huonu saw it clearly, only to see that the towel was full of blood stains, he hurriedly stepped forward to take it, glanced at the people on the table hatefully, turned around and retreated, and couldn't bear to look at it again.
Wanyan Lou didn't have time to worry about him, and he kept persuading everyone to drink and drink, but suddenly saw Qin Hui opposite him with a worried face, only caring about drinking, not eating, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask him: "Lord Qin, why don't you move your chopsticks?" ”
Qin Hui was pondering, and when he saw him asking, he was taken aback at first, and then hurriedly smiled: "My lower physique has always been weak, and I am tired from running around for days, but I have no appetite." ”
Wan Yan Lou Room smiled slightly and said, "Really? ”
Qin Hui knew that the other party was cunning and slippery, and he was the most difficult high-ranking official to coax the Jurchens, so he had to say again: "The road ahead is difficult, and Hui is worried about it, so he has no appetite." ”
"Oh? Haha, Lord Qin is really sentimental. ”
Wanyan Huonu smiled, and actually took a piece of venison with her own hands, put it in Qin Hui's bowl, and said with a smile: "What do you want to do so much, no matter how difficult it is, follow the road, are you afraid that it won't work?" ”
Qin Hui was slightly slighted, and had to reluctantly eat the venison he clipped. He is from Jiangnan, in fact, he really doesn't like meat, and when he swallowed a piece of fishy and spicy meat, he felt miserable and almost shed tears.
After Yan Lou looked at it, he laughed loudly, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring hot tea to him to rinse his mouth.
When Qin Hui was a little better, Wan Yan Lou asked with a smile: "I heard that in front of Marshal Chang, you have said some chapters and have a lot of opinions, I don't know if you can talk to me?" ”
Qin Hui knew that he couldn't hide this matter, and said at the moment: "What I said to the marshal is my opinion on the struggle between the Song and Jin countries, in my opinion, the north and south customs are different, the character of people is different, the habits are different, the north people have the south people's land is useless, the south people live in the north people are not used to it, it is better for the south people to return to the south, the north people live in the north, everyone according to the customs, each living in the south wind, communicating with each other, each guarding its own land, in this way, it will also save the frequency of wars, nobles can rest and worry, the people can also enjoy peace, the world will be nothing from now on, isn't it good?" ”
These words really came from Qin Hui's sincerity, and they were the truth that he had painstakingly realized during the few years he was detained in the northern country. He was a native of Jiangnan, and when he lived in the north, the black soil in the wilderness, the ice and snow, all taught him to feel very distressed and unbearable, and at the same time, he also knew that when the Jurchens went down to Jiangnan, they were also extremely disliked by the dense water network and the sultry southern weather in summer. After thinking about it, this person actually came up with such a brilliant idea: simply the Great Song Dynasty gave up the north to the Jurchens, and the southerners in the north could come back to live in the south, and the two sides would divide the river and rule, coexist peacefully, not invade each other, and live and work in peace and contentment according to their habits, so that there would be many fewer disputes.
This time he was put back, one is that he has gained the trust of Wan Yanchang, the other party knows that he has lost his sharpness, and only hopes that Song Jin will no longer fight, and it will not hurt to let him go back.
The other is that he put forward such a theory, which also confused some officials and people who were suffering from the war at that time, and let him go back and publicize it loudly, which can confuse the vigilance of the Song Dynasty and lower the fighting spirit of the other party.
When later generations mentioned this matter, they always scolded Qin Hui, but there was a layer that no one thought of.
Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Chang and other upper-class nobles of the Jin Kingdom were also lustful at this time, greedy for enjoyment, and wanted to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty and no longer fight.
Even if Qin Hui didn't propose it, they would send others to carry it out.
Wu Qimai is rarely assertive, Zong Han is old, Zong Fu is sick, Zong Bi has not yet mastered the power of the dynasty, Zong Pan and Wan Yanchang and others are also the lords and factions in the Jin Kingdom, and after the First World War of Fuping, they gave the Lord and faction of the Jin Kingdom an excuse to seek peace.
Released to the Han officials, returned to Shaanxi, Hedong, Henan, Shandong and other places, and negotiated peace with the Song Dynasty, this matter was actually raised in the prestigious general Wanhu Wanyan Lou Room, but for Wan Yanchang and others, it was a pillow to sleep, no matter how good.
Qin Hui will talk about this, but the Han officials present are all selected soft bones, the lord and the officials, although they eat and drink non-stop, but they also stop entering the port, after he finishes speaking, everyone stops eating and drinking, and after a little thought, they all say: "Lord Qin is really a genius among the southerners, this remark is really reasonable." ”
Wanyan Lou Room also high-fived and praised, and only said: "The southerners return to the south, and the northerners return to the north, this is really a wise saying, and it should be a big deal." ”
While learning Chinese, he also learned a lot of Han poetry, and he spoke very elegantly.
And when everyone saw him like this, they all drank and brightened their glasses.
For a while, the atmosphere in this small room was very good, everyone was laughing and laughing, and the Jurchen people were very affectionate.
After three rounds of drinking, when the cups and plates were in disarray, Wan Yan Lou said to everyone again: "Lord Qin's words, we Jurchens also agree with it, the two countries are fighting each other, and the dead and wounded are all people, why bother?" Now I send you back to China, I just hope that the two countries will stop fighting, and my country will return the cities of your country, and return the relatives and nobles who were captured that day, so that everyone will never fight again. ”
Everyone said, "It's the pole, it's the pole." ”
He also said: "Whether the peace is agreed or not, the relationship is very great, in order to show sincerity, let's withdraw from Shaanzhou first, let Tongguan, if the peace is completed, Tokyo Bianliang will also be returned to you." I also ask you to come to Jingkang Tianzi and affirm our good intentions. ”
Seeing everyone nodding like chickens pecking rice, he smiled slightly, gave everyone a few cups, and withdrew.
When I got to the door, I saw Yan Yan's feminine face turned blue, standing in the snow without saying a word, just looking at herself in a daze.
He knew that not only his son, but also many Jurchen nobles were dissatisfied with the decision to negotiate peace and cede land this time. sighed in his heart, and said to Wanyan Huonu: "Give up Shaanzhou and other places, this is true." Tokyo, Henan, can also be returned to them. The lands east of the river are fighting for every inch of land. My son doesn't have to stay here for a long time, but he can quickly take my soldiers and horses and go to Taiyuan to see Sali and drink. He has been instructed by Zongbi, you go and talk to him, and you will understand. ”
Although Wanyan was still angry, she had to bow down and nod, and replied, "Yes, my son obeys orders." ”
After Yan Lou sighed, walked out of the eaves, looked up, and felt that the world was bright, and he didn't care about his son standing behind him, he only whispered: "It's a big play, but unfortunately I can't wait for it to finish." ”
