Under the protection of Qin Hui, the golden envoy who was so frightened that he peed his pants not only saved his life, but was also sent to the post house by him at his request, so that he could be entertained. How could Zhang Suo be convinced, and had a quarrel with Qin Hui, and in the end, Ma Kuo became a peacemaker and sent the golden envoy out of the country. But the two still played separately and asked the emperor to decide, but the emperor would not hear back for a while on his southern tour, so they could only get along awkwardly.

A few days later, Yinshuke came to Xiongzhou and the two sides officially began negotiations, and he did not mention that the Song Dynasty wanted to kill the gold envoys, and the Song Dynasty would certainly not apologize to him. The focus of the negotiations was nothing more than the exchange of prisoners of war, the cession of land and tribute, and the opening of the field. The meaning of the Jin State was to exchange the former crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan, for the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom, but the principle of the Song Dynasty was that it was necessary to return Zhao Huan, the king of Liao, and release the captured clan and ministers, otherwise the others would not be discussed.

The negotiations that had just started seemed to have fallen into a dead end all of a sudden, but everyone found that Qin Hui was active, and he and Ma Kuo and other people from the mission repeatedly mentioned the scene of their meeting with the emperor, which could be heard by fools, the emperor really wanted to welcome back the King of Liao, and this side could consider making a little concession and giving Jin Guo some sweetness, so as to continue the negotiations, otherwise the emperor blamed everyone and everyone would not have good fruit to eat.

Everyone thinks it is reasonable, things can be discussed a little bit, anyway, there is still the decision of the Zai Zhi and the emperor in the end. But the concessions again and again did not return to the concessions of the Jurchens, but fell into passivity. Ma Kuo also found that the Jurchens seemed to have figured out their own thoughts, and every negotiation was prepared, just like two people playing chess who had carefully thought out their own tricks had just taken a step, and the other party had already thought of the next move, putting them in a predicament.

At this time, Qin Hui was also sitting on pins and needles. He kept secretly informing the Jurchens of the results of the negotiations on the part of the Great Song Dynasty, so that they could seize the opportunity in the negotiations. But the Kingdom of Jin seems to be demanding excessively. kept raising the price, without considering his situation and feelings. He knew that if this continued, the negotiations would not be able to proceed, and at the same time, his identity would have to be exposed, and the instructions from the Jin State were still ordering him to try to reach this 'unfair' agreement.

Qin Hui was forced to have no choice, so he could only take the risk of secretly going to see Yinshuke in person, showing his bitterness, and repeatedly said that it was not that he did not do his best, but that if he repeatedly insisted on it, it would only anger the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, leading to the breakdown of negotiations. The result is not only the loss of the benefits previously obtained, but also the provocation of war. Yinshu listened to his appeal, and could only smile bitterly, now not only can he not be the master, but even Zong Han can't control the situation anymore...

In the Jin country, which advocates martial arts, military merit is the weakness of Wushu, and up to now, he has no military exploits with those seniors and brothers. When chasing the emperor of Liao, he followed Han Li to Mandarin Duck Bo; During the invasion of the Song Dynasty. followed the large army to the city of Kaifeng. At this time, he was sent to capture Luoyang, but he lost several battles in a row, so he could only fight and retreat and run back. This was the first time that Wushu led his troops into battle, and he was out of the army.

In front of the Baoding army, the Song soldiers resisted, and the chasing soldiers arrived behind. Wushu fought a solid battle again, and fled for the second time, which was the beginning of his military career. He didn't know what he was saying. Zhao Er not only gave him two failures, but also planted an eternal nightmare for him during this time.

Then the factional struggle in the Kingdom of Jin became chaotic. Previously, it was the old warlord faction led by Zong Han against the faction led by Emperor Wu Qimai, and then it evolved into a coalition between the Aguda faction and Zong Han. The basic contention between the two factions is the right to speak in the country. It appears that the factions are clear and the goals are simple. But the struggle and reconciliation between them became a complete vulture, and the sudden rise of one man turned it all up.

Wushu, the little brother who used to be quite tame, had been very well-behaved before, hiding in the backs of his brothers, and now he had become a powerful faction in his military power, and after leading the troops alone and fighting with the Song army in the border area for two years, he suddenly disobeyed discipline. He despised those seniors who slept on the merit book and only knew that they had lost their martial Jurchen traditions. And the Wushu is the one who wants to revive the power of the Jurchen army, he wants to use pure force to conquer the Quartet, and reproduce the divine might of his father's Wanyan Aguta.

Wushu began to fight for this goal, no matter who stood in front of him, even if it was a nobleman who was more prominent than him in the Jurchen clan, he would face each other with a white blade and never die. Thinking so, he did so, and the current situation seemed to be helping him, and the Great Song Dynasty suddenly became full of war, asking the imperial court to send troops to recruit the Jurchens to welcome back the first emperor, and at the same time, the army on the border of Song and Jin also began to move frequently, and it seemed that there was really going to be a big fight.

Therefore, Wushu intercepted the taxes in the Yanjing area, requisitioned and recruited soldiers of various ethnic groups to shave their heads, and vigorously expanded their army to prepare for the Song army. But at this critical moment, the imperial court wanted to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, and the Southern Dynasty also sent envoys to talk, Zhao Er also suddenly left Beijing to tour the south, and the situation eased again, pouring a basin of cold water on the enthusiastic Wushu, which made him relieved and very disappointed at the same time. And Wushu also realized that in order to grow, he had to fight, and only by fighting could he quickly seize power.

Therefore, Qin Hui was sad, and Wushu deliberately suppressed Zong Han's peace proposal in the negotiations between the two countries, only taking advantage of it and not suffering losses, which led to the negotiation reaching a deadlock again and again.

………

After leaving Beijing, Zhao Tan took a boat along the canal to the south, stopping and stopping, inspecting the coastal state capitals, inspecting the people's livelihood, and listening to appeals, and he did not forget to review the army and check the combat readiness. In July, the saint drove to Suzhou.

It is now the time after the rainy season, the heat is unbearable, and the typhoon is also active, and Suzhou is affected by it, and the rain has increased significantly. Zhao Ta has lived in the north for a long time, this hot and humid climate makes him a little unbearable, and the two imperial concubines who accompanied him are even more unbearable, especially Zhe Meiluan grew up in the cold land of the northwest, likes cold and is afraid of heat, although this paradise on earth is picturesque, he does not want to move again, so the holy car temporarily stationed in Suzhou to rest, and then go after the weather is cool.

The palace is naturally located in his own nest, and now it is the pension residence of the two old men, He Qufei and Huang Jingchen, Canglang Pavilion. This is still the property that Zhao Ta bought when he Xuanfu Jiangnan more than ten years ago, which was designed by Zhu Mian and expanded by himself. Prepared as a refuge in the event of his own failure, he also joked that he would provide for the two old men in the future. As a result, they ascended the throne, but the two of them insisted that Zhishi leave the capital and go straight to Suzhou, occupying this feng shui treasure.

Although it is a revisit. But things are no longer human, the two old men have passed the age of antiquity, Zhu Mian has also turned into dry bones, and the Zhu family, which was once prosperous, has also disappeared with his death, and what remains unchanged is only the wealth and beauty of Suzhou.

Liangzhejiang is an important tax place in the Great Song Dynasty, and these years the government has been controlled by traitors, although Cai Jing, Wang Hao and others have been cleared, but they are still controlled by their protégés and former officials, so there is the idea that Zhao Ji tried to control Jiangnan. Therefore, after Zhao Ta ascended the throne, he rectified the officialdom and transferred Liu Zi'an to Liangzhejiang as a pacification envoy, responsible for rectifying the rule of officials and implementing the new policy, which has achieved results in a few years.

Both inside and outside are their own people, and when he arrived here, Zhao Ta completely relaxed, in addition to a guard brigade, his guard work was accompanied by two battalions of marines sent by Cheng Xishou along the way. After being stationed in Suzhou, Liu Zi'an also strengthened public security and sent government troops to strengthen public security management. And he also knew that the officials were impatient with those red tape, and they would not go to disturb them if they didn't greet them.

"Official, you are also angry again in this Canglang Pavilion this time, unlike on weekdays, only the two old men seem to be gloomy!" The rain rippled for several days. But the garden has built a corridor, does not affect the enjoyment of the rain in the garden, the old man knows that the emperor does not like to nest in the house so he invited him to the pond to drink tea. Huang Jingchen said with a smile.

"Alas, then pity my garden. Follow you two old men to be wronged! Zhao Ta sighed and said.

"The official family is a golden mouth, and your words have to count. This garden has been given to us, and we cannot go back on it! Huang Jingchen said immediately.

"Uncle Huang, I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you, but back then, we also bought hundreds of hectares of good land in Suzhou together, and said that I would give you seven and three, and I would give the money, but how can I have some interest after more than ten years, but you didn't share a penny from me, what can I say?" Zhao Ta took a sip of tea and said angrily.

"It's... Do you still remember this money? But I didn't spend it indiscriminately, except for repairing the garden, the rest was stored in the cabinet, so that they could lend out the money to eat interest! Huang Jingchen's old face turned red, and he immediately denied that he had swallowed it on the spot.

"Oh, you can have a few profits in the cabinet, quickly take it out and buy silk, and it will be several times the profit when it changes hands next year!" Zhao Ta was excited when he heard this, stood up and said.

"Buy silk for a lot, the most important thing in Suzhou is this thing, although it has risen after the opening of the port, but it is not much, it is better to put it in the cabinet!" Huang Jingchen shook his head again and again.

"Alas, why are you old and confused, this year is the third year of the opening of the port, and in the first year, with the foreign merchant ships coming and going with the trade winds, we don't know that we have opened the port, so we will not come much; In the second year, those who have eaten the benefits will often try again to see if it is true or false; Now that the trade winds are about to arrive, the fleets that have learned the news will definitely flock to it, and our silk production has not increased much, and the price must have skyrocketed, and it will not be a big profit to buy it now and sell it to the Yiren..."

"What's wrong with the official family, how do you share the money with Huang Daguan?" Zhi Meiluan watched the official spitting and talking about the business scriptures, and asked Zhao Xindao curiously.

"Hehe, the official family has partnered with Huang Bo since he was a child, and the two of them also quarreled over the money, and then partnered to make the next deal, speaking of which they did more than ten years ago, that is, they bet that the land in the south of the Yangtze River will rise, and the result is that the Jurchens go south, and the people in the north cannot escape, this land has risen I don't know how many times, it must be the right bet!" Zhao Xin said with a smile.

"Now the official family will not lack this money, why do you still care?"

"You don't know the way, doing business is the greatest pleasure of the official family, even fighting and doing things must be settled first, to see the losses and profits, how many years have passed. It's just that there were many things later, and when I became the emperor again, I was embarrassed to talk about buying and selling scriptures in front of hundreds of officials. Now that Huang Bo, the old partner, is caught, of course, he has to have a good time, but this time he will definitely make a lot of money, and the official family has not missed it once! Zhao Xin said with a smile.

"Oh, the official family still has this fun, and he treats governing the country and fighting wars as a business, so he won't go to Jiangnan this time just to settle accounts with Uncle Huang and share the money, right?" Zhe Meiluan couldn't help but feel funny, the official family's hobbies were really peculiar.

"Of course not, don't you see that the official family is making a bigger deal?" Zhao Xin looked at the official family who was dancing with his eyebrows and Huang Jingchen who couldn't stop nodding, and the official family of Zhilu Dao said that the old wealth fan was moved again, and said softly.

"Big deal? Do officials still have to go to Jiangnan in person to do business? "Zhe Meiluan's understanding of the official family is still worse than Zhao Xin, who has followed Zhao Ta since childhood, and she can't guess the thoughts of the official family.

"The official family's deal was made with the Jurchens, how could the Jurchens believe it if he didn't come forward?" Zhao Xin folded Meiluan and squeezed his eyes.

"Oh, I understand, the official family is really cunning enough, but it looks like the real woman has to lose!" Zhe Meiluan is also a smart person, and immediately thought of it... (To be continued......)
