The messenger sent by Wanyan Zongwang was Shi Liai's eldest son, Shi Yan.

Hearing that the Jin State was praying for peace, many civil officials were quite moved.

These civil officials do not really intend to negotiate peace.

Fools can see the ambition of the crown prince, and the battle to recover Yanyun will start sooner or later.

The civil officials just want to slow down, the country was made by Song Huizong, although the new Ming Dynasty has reached its third year, but it has never been a good life and recuperation for a year and a half.

Even Qian Chen, the secretary of the household department, wanted to persuade the prince to develop peacefully for a few years. As long as there is no big war for three years, the provincial capitals and counties will inevitably regain their vitality, and he will be able to store countless money and grain, and the prince can do whatever he wants when the time comes.

Xiao Chu and Hu Anguo, who advocate great unification and great revenge, have differences again this time.

Xiao Chu believed that he should take advantage of the successive battles and the high morale of the army, and then suffer the people of the whole country again, and drive the Jurchens back to Liaodong in one go.

Hu Anguo believed that it was necessary to first complete various military and political reforms, work hard to improve internal strength, accumulate strength, and then pursue and fight fiercely to completely eliminate the Jurchen clan.

The cabinet is also divided into two factions, which is nothing more than the difference between a quick war and a slow war.

Most of the civil officials in the entire court held the opinion of delaying the war.

Seeing that the two gangs were arguing, Zhu Guoxiang asked everyone to stop arguing and go to meet the envoy of the Jin Kingdom together.

"The Dajin envoy was ordered to ask His Majesty the Ming Emperor about the health of His Majesty the Dajin Emperor and the second prince Lang Jun, the marshal of the Dajin Capital." From time to time, it is polite and polite.

Zhu Guoxiang bowed his head to accept it, but did not buy a return gift for Wu Qi.

Gradually, he greeted Zhu Mingzuo again.

"Mr. Shi, we meet again." Zhu Ming smiled.

Shi gradually said: "After nearly three years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has the same demeanor. ”

Zhu Ming led his troops on the outskirts of Kaifeng and confronted Wanyan Zongwang, and he gradually came to be a messenger at this time.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and Zhu Ming gradually introduced other ministers.

The nonsense of not being nutritious was almost over, and Zhu Guoxiang, who had done his homework, asked: "Your grandfather, but Wang Shiru, the famous minister of Liao?" ”

Wang Shiru was just an ordinary deputy prime minister in the Liao Kingdom, but he was a famous minister in the Great Song Dynasty. Because this product is a fan brother of Su Shi and Su Zhe, and he also exchanged knowledge with Su Zhe face-to-face, and that exchange was a symbol of peaceful relations between Song and Liao.

Shi gradually replied: "Your Majesty still remembers the foreign minister's ancestor, and the foreign minister is honored. ”

Zhu Guoxiang didn't say anything more, and Prime Minister Zhai Ruwen saw this, and shouted angrily: "Your grandfather took Huaxia as Zhengshuo, and was a generation of famous ministers and Confucians in the Liao State, how could your father and son have the face to take refuge in the Jurchen barbarians?" ”

Shi gradually replied: "The princes will raze it if they use the Yi ceremony, and if they enter China, they will be the ...... of China."

"Huh?" Zhu Ming suddenly interrupted.

Shi gradually heard the sound and suddenly did not dare to continue, because he recalled the last debate.

At that time, Shi gradually also used this set of rhetoric, and Yi Di entered China, and China was Chinese. And Zhu Ming quoted Mencius's original words, which directly ended the debate between the two: "I have only heard of the use of Xia to change to Yi, but I have not heard of the change of Yi." ”

Mencius said that the change of Yixia must be Xia as the main body.

The ministers didn't know that they had debated before, but when they saw the prince say "um", he was so frightened that the envoy of the Jin State swallowed the rest of the words. They sighed in their hearts, the majesty of the prince had already spread far and wide, and even the envoys of the Jin Kingdom were so afraid!

Zhu Ming patted the table and said, "Talk to a gentleman, use a gentleman's courtesy." Talking to the barbarians, I might as well learn to speak with the barbarians. If you want to exchange anything for peace, just say it! ”

Regarded as a barbarian by Prince Zhu, he gradually felt extremely humiliated, and arched his hand: "His Royal Highness the Prince, as a golden envoy, please treat Your Highness with courtesy!" ”

"I'm treating each other with courtesy," Zhu Ming wondered, "Isn't this the etiquette of the Jin Kingdom?" I heard from the old Song ministers that when the Jin envoy entered the city three years ago, this is how he spoke to the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty. did his best to humiliate himself, and threatened with swords at every turn. ”

Shi gradually defended: "If you don't say goodbye for three days, you should be impressed, let alone a country?" Soon after Dajin entered China, Chinese etiquette had not yet been properly learned, but Dajin was already a state of etiquette at this time. ”

"Nonsense!"

The ministers present vied with each other to reprimand, and the phrase "Dajin entered China" aroused public anger.

Hu Anguo pointed at Shi and roared angrily: "China is here, when did the Jurchen barbarians enter China?" ”

Shi gradually replied: "Isn't the land of Yanyun China?" The Liao State also claimed to be China back then, and I, Dajin, had completely obtained China's legal system from the hands of Emperor Tianzuo. ”

Hu Anguo sneered: "Your Excellency is a barbarian after all, and it is normal to not know where China is, do you want the old man to teach you a lesson today?" ”

Shi gradually asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the land of clouds is not owned by China?" ”

Hu Anguo also asked rhetorically: "My family has 100 mansions and beautiful houses, and two or three of them are occupied by robbers, can it be said that this robber is the owner of the mansion?" ”

Shi gradually had to change his thinking: "Song Liao used to be called brothers, Song is China, why is Liao not China?" Daikin obtained the legal system of Liao, why can't Daikin be China? ”

Hu Anguo was about to refute, and Zhu Ming interjected: "Mr. Hu, this person is messing around, you have to mess around, otherwise you will fall into his verbal trap." ”

"Your Highness, please." Hu Anguo hurriedly moved.

Zhu Ming asked: "You said that the Jin State obtained the legal system of the Liao State, how did you get it?" Arrest and kill the emperor of Liao, and forcibly accept the daughter of Emperor Tianzuo as a concubine, is this the legal system of Liao? That's what robbers do! ”

Shi gradually sneered: "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince talking about himself?" The Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty seem to have come from it in this way. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed drastically, and all of them were eager to try, wanting to rush forward and debate with Shi Yan.

Zhu Ming still smiled: "I am a Chinese, the former Song Dynasty lost morality, causing the people to live in poverty, I am just the water that overturns the boat." This big house in China belongs to all the Chinese in the house. The person who manages the house is incompetent, and the rest naturally have the responsibility to stand up and correct it. And what about the country of gold? A group of robbers killed the owner of the house, and then occupied the big house in Liao. ”

I gradually began to be speechless, and I didn't know how to refute it.

Zhu Ming said again: "What's more, I didn't kill the former Song Emperor. Zhao Huan realized his mistake, and he didn't harm the people, so I gave him the opportunity to mend his ways, and now he is still an official in Shandong. If Zhao Ji is caught by me, I will judge him first and then punish him, even if he wants to kill him, he should be killed in a dignified manner. Unlike the Jurchen barbarians, after arresting Emperor Tianzuo, Emperor Tianzuo died an unknown death. ”

Shi gradually hurriedly defended: "Emperor Tianzuo died of illness by himself, why did His Majesty of my Dajin Kingdom want to harm him?" ”

"If you don't die early, you won't die later, if you are caught by the Jurchens, you will die of illness, and the world is really coincidental," Zhu Ming sneered, "As for why you want to kill Emperor Tianzuo, of course, you are afraid that he will live, and there are countless people who want to oppose Jin Fuliao." ”

Shi gradually broke the defense, and shouted: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse!" ”

Zhu Ming smiled even more happily: "Do you think it's a sin too?" ”

"I didn't!" Shi gradually denied it.

Zhu Ming showed the average level of keyboard warriors, so he didn't want to talk about this anymore, and asked with a smile: "Don't talk about this kind of high-sounding thing, let's just say it, how does Jin Guo want to negotiate peace?" ”

It's and runs, and locks the toilet door.

Shi gradually said anxiously: "This is the face of the country, how can it be high-sounding?" Please don't say anything else, you have to debate to the end today! ”

"Didn't you come to negotiate peace?" Zhu Ming tilted his head, "Since I'm not here to negotiate peace, then you can go and debate with the ministers, I still have to raise troops to fight the Jurchens in the Northern Expedition, but I don't have time to play tricks with you here." ”

Shi gradually stunned on the spot, not arguing, not arguing, and the whole person was stupid for a while.

The ministers looked at this envoy of the Jin Kingdom, and couldn't help but feel sympathy, no one could say anything about the prince's mouth.

If anyone can say it, the prince will be a hooligan instead!

"Peace talks or debates?" Zhu Ming asked sharply.

Shi gradually relented: "Please make peace between the two countries." ”

"Hahahaha!"

The ministers present couldn't stop laughing, and Zhu Guoxiang also smiled and watched his son pull the calf.

Zhu Ming asked: "Let's talk about it, Wu Qimai or Wanyan Zongwang, what kind of peace talks do they want?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang went behind the other forces of the Jin State and privately sent people to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty. But Wu Qimai will definitely admit it, and once the peace talks are successful, most of the other nobles will also accept it, because now the Jin country is short of food and it is inconvenient to fight.

Shi gradually said: "My Dajin country is willing to be a brotherly country with the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Ming said: "No. If it is the country of grandchildren, it can barely be accepted. ”

When he was insulted so much that he wanted to vomit blood, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Then let's not talk about brothers or grandchildren, just about the truce between the two countries." Once the war resumes, it will be the lives of the two countries. My Majesty the Dajin Emperor is benevolent and does not want to see the people suffer anymore, so he is willing to strike war and negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty. ”

The smile on Zhu Ming's face disappeared, and he stared at Shi gradually and said, "Do you also have the face to say this?" How many times have the people under the rule of Jin been forced to rise up? Wanyan Zongwang was defeated and withdrew last year, burning, killing and looting seven or eight counties and counties in our Ming Dynasty. Now you say you don't want to see the lives of people in misery? If you talk nonsense to me again, then you won't talk about it! ”

Shi was gradually intimidated to retreat again and again, and he no longer dared to say high-sounding words: "The two countries will stop the war, and the former Song-Liao border shall prevail." How is it? ”

"Okay, it's a deal!" Zhu Ming actually agreed.

Including Zhu Guoxiang, they all looked at Prince Zhu in surprise.

After waiting for a few seconds, Zhu Ming said again: "Let Wanyan Zonghan hand over all the occupied territory of the old Song Dynasty and return the land within three months, and I will agree to negotiate peace with the Jin State." ”

Shi gradually unexpectedly blew up the internal contradictions of the Jin Kingdom, and said: "Three months is too short, please give half a year." Wanyan Zonghan is unruly, and he must work hard to persuade him, and ask His Royal Highness to rest for half a year. ”

Half? Pull the calf.

Three months later, this year's newly harvested summer grain will be able to be transported to Shanxi to fight the war.

Zhu Ming was furious: "You said that the territory of Song Liao was the boundary, but you said that it would take half a year to persuade you." Jin Guo didn't understand it himself, so he came to talk to me peacefully? Barbarians are barbarians, hurry up and go back to Yanshan Mansion, and come back in three months! ”

Shi Gradual's mission has actually been completed, and he came over on behalf of Wan Yan Zongwang, as long as he is sure that Da Ming will not fight Youyan within three months.

As for Wanyan Zonghan's attack, it is not a bad thing for Wanyan Zongwang.

Of course, for the sake of the overall interests of the Jin State, Wanyan Zongwang will also send troops to help.

But he needs the Jin Imperial Court and Wanyan Zonghan to provide food and grass, and then he will appear as a rescuer, so that he can gain higher prestige, and Wanyan Zonghan and his family still owe favors.
