Facing Kuo De, the Mongolian prince who did not come forward in history, Zhao Hong had another remark.

"Kuo Out, in the future, you will take over as the Great Khan of Mongolia, hoping to save the people of the world from the poison of war, and let them live and work in peace and contentment."

"Emperor Xie Song!"

How the general matter was translated, Zhao Hong didn't know, Meng Ge and Kuo Chu stroked their chests and saluted together. The eyes of the two were fixed on the long sword on Zhao Hong's waist.

This is the legendary "Song King Sword".

Zhao Hong is easy-going, and generally does not require courtiers and left and right to kneel, so Yelu Chucai Meng Ge and others did not have the etiquette of kneeling, and the ministers did not think so.

Speaking of which, it is no open secret that the emperor of this dynasty hates kneeling the most.

"What is the important thing for the two gentlemen to come here today?"

Zhao Hong smiled slightly, made a gesture of please, and picked up the teacup himself.

"Emperor Song, the Jin Dynasty is the feud of my Mongolian country, and my Mongolian army is going south and vowing to destroy it. Why did the Song Emperor make an enemy of our Mongolia for the sake of the Jin Dynasty? ”

Yelu Chucai's face was gentle, and he spoke first.

As the main envoy of peace, he wanted to take the lead and occupy the high ground in morality, so that the Song people had nothing to say.

"Emperor Song, the 70,000 dead and wounded army of our Mongolian country, and the death of King Torei of Zong, were all done by the officials and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty. The blood debt is heinous and outrageous. Doesn't Emperor Song need to give me an explanation for Mongolia? ”

Li Bangrui said it with a dark face.

Zhao Hong laughed secretly in his heart. One with a red face and one with a white face, the consistent tricks of these two golden partners have been tried and tested again and again, and they also lack creativity.

As for Kode and Möngke not speaking, it may be that these two young Mongolian generations do not know much about diplomacy. Torre was killed in battle, and as Torre's son, Möngke was quiet, forbearing, and a talent.

Yang Guo, the Condor Hero, hurry up and crush it.

Zhao Hong drank tea and was silent, and Shangshu Xuanxuan of the Ministry of War sneered and picked up the topic.

"Your honor, the Mongolian army wanted to borrow the road, but was rejected by the West Road Rong Division of Lizhou. The Torre Department forcibly borrowed the road, broke the Wuxiu Pass, slaughtered thousands of soldiers and civilians of our Great Song Dynasty, and then attacked Xingyuan Mansion City for no reason. Everything our army did was to resist the invasion of the Mongol army. The noble envoy reverses black and white, or don't open your mouth! ”

In the first battle of Hanzhong, he was immersed in the scene and witnessed the entire combat process with his own eyes. The invasion of the Mongolian army was sure and impeccable.

"Your Excellency, when the Mongolian army enters the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, burns, kills and loots, does our army swallow its anger, respectfully offer money and food, and send guides to escort the Mongolian army? Do you really think that my Great Song is easy to deceive? ”

Participating in the governor's political affairs Zhen Dexiu, followed by an indignant sentence.

The Mongolian army of 70,000 was annihilated by the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhendexiu's confidence was suddenly strengthened a lot.

Li Bangrui and Yelu Chucai looked at each other, and Li Bangrui said with a dark face:

"Emperor Song, do you mean that the Great Song Dynasty has to be an enemy of my Mongolia?"

The general clerk translated in a low voice, Meng Ge and Kuo out, and their eyes turned to Zhao Hong together.

"Your honor, Mongolia lives in Mobei, does it have to be an enemy of my Great Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Hong was still silent, and Zou Yinglong, the governor of the political affairs, immediately refuted it.

The general behind Meng Ge was respectful, and whispered to Meng Ge and the two who were sitting in a careful translation.

Zhao Hong glanced at it, and with the translation of the general matter, a layer of anger appeared on Meng Ge's face, and he immediately covered it up well.

Möngke is 23 years old and himself is 29 years old. When he was 23 years old, he didn't seem to have a city like Meng Ge.

As for the 26-year-old Kuode, he is still silent, and it is difficult to see the change in his expression.

The younger generation of Mongolia, Kuoduan, Kuoduan, Möngke, Kublai Khan, all of them are immediately heroes. Compared with Song Lizong and Song Duzong, these greenhouse flowers are simply not too crushing.

Zhao Hong pondered, Song Chen did not give an inch,-for-tat, Yelu Chucai had no choice but to speak again.

"Emperor Song, the Jin Dynasty is the common enemy of our Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty, why should the Great Song Dynasty be a tiger? In the first war between Hanzhong, all the festivals were written off, and the Song and Mongolia jointly destroyed the Jin Dynasty, and the land of Henan belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, and the land of Hebei belonged to Mongolia. What does Your Majesty think? ”

Yelu Chucai observed his words and looks, and carefully figured out Zhao Hong's expression and reaction.

The Song people dreamed of restoring the land of Henan, where there are the tombs of their ancestors, and the city of Tokyo, which is haunted by the dreams of thousands of Song people. This proposal should be full of sincerity.

Torre also raised his head and carefully observed Zhao Hong's expression.

"Honorable envoy, the shame of Jingkang, the humiliation of Nandu, my great Song Shimin, everyone remembers it. Restoring the Central Plains and restoring the land of our ancestors is a matter for the Song people themselves, and there is no need for Mongolia to intervene. ”

Zhao Hong was still silent, and Shangshu Xuanxuan of the Ministry of War immediately opened his mouth and rejected Yelu Chucai's "kindness".

"So, does the Great Song really want to be an enemy of my Mongolian country?"

Li Bangrui's heart was furious, and his voice couldn't help but rise an octave.

"Honorable envoy, I have my own family affairs, and we will solve them by ourselves. Needless to say, your envoy said. If there is another forced borrowing of the Tao, my Da Song will not be polite! ”

has long been accustomed to Zhao Hong's toughness, Zhen Dexiu said categorically, unceremoniously.

Li Bangrui's eyes widened, and Yelu Chucai hurriedly stopped him.

"Your Majesty, how Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty will deal with themselves in the future, whether they are peace or war, is all in your Majesty's thoughts. Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear. ”

Yelu Chucai's words made the hall immediately quiet. Everyone was silent, waiting for Zhao Hong's words.

"Sir, I won't say anything superfluous. In the matter of destroying Jin, the Song people did not need Mongolia to intervene. The grievances between Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty have been written off, this is my attitude. Envoys, is there anything else to discuss? ”

Zhao Hong coughed lightly and started the topic.

Truth be told, he's tired of these verbal battles.

Yelu Chucai and the others looked at each other, Yelu Chucai and Meng Ge said a few words, and Meng Ge nodded lightly.

"Emperor Song, the Great Khan sent me here to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty, shake hands with the two sides, and never stop the sword soldiers."

Yelu Chucai's words, all the ministers were surprised.

In the first battle of Hanzhong, the Mongol army suffered heavy losses, and they did not pursue it like this?

This does not seem to be the usual style of the Mongol iron horseman's pleasure and revenge.

"Forever strike the sword?"

Zhao Hong laughed, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Two gentlemen, the two rivers are the hometown of my Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty will be restored sooner or later. Please also return to Ogedai Khan, if you can return the two rivers to the Great Song Dynasty, I will be grateful, and I will be remembered. In return, the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia were about to be brothers, and the Great Song Dynasty gave Mongolia 500,000 pieces of silver and 500,000 stones of grain every year. ”

"Your Majesty, by all means!"

Zhen Dexiu was shocked and hurriedly bowed to Zhao Hong.

"Your Majesty, in the past of the Yuanyuan Alliance, my Great Song Dynasty gave only 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk to Liao Sui every year; Shaoxing peace talks, Song Xiangjin paid 250,000 taels of silver and silk each year. His Majesty pays an annual tribute of 500,000 taels of silver, which is worse than the Shaoxing Peace Conference, and this move is absolutely impossible! ”

"Your Majesty, 500,000 taels of silver and 500,000 stones of grain, this move is too hasty, Your Majesty think twice!"

The face of the military department Shangshu Xuanxuan was solemn, and he urged the emperor.

"Your Majesty think twice!"

"Your Majesty ponders!"

Zou Yinglong and Wei Liaoweng, the squire of the military department, also made a statement to Zhao Hong.

Yelu Chucai and the others were surprised, and Zhao Hong said decisively.

"I have made up my mind, and I don't want to say more!"

Looking at Yelu Chucai and the others, Zhao Hong's face was mild.

"Do you have any other important business, gentlemen?"

Wo Kotai and Li Bangrui looked at each other, and Meng Ge glanced at Zhao Hong in surprise, and said a few words softly with Yelu Chucai.

Yelu Chucai bowed to Zhao Hong.

"Emperor Song, ceding the two rivers, this matter is not trivial, and the two of us can't decide. After the two of us return to the grassland and report to the Great Khan of Ogedei, it will not be too late to reply to Your Majesty. ”

500,000 taels of silver, 500,000 stone of grain, ceding the two rivers, of course they can't decide on such a big thing.

However, Yelu Chucai believes that when this matter spreads to the grassland, it will definitely cause an uproar. In particular, the likes of Baidar, who were planning to graze sheep and horses with the two rivers, must have agreed.

After Yelu Chucai finished speaking, Zhao Hong nodded lightly.

In the next battle in the south, Mongolia suffered heavy losses and suffered a great loss of vitality, and within a few years, I am afraid that it will not be able to go south and west.

"Emperor Song, Prince Meng Ge wants to know, what kind of talent is a big hero?"

As Meng Ge spoke, the general matter was immediately translated.

"What kind of person is a big hero?"

Zhao Hong pondered for a moment, then looked at Meng Ge, and replied solemnly:

"The so-called great hero saves the people from fire and water, and relieves the people from hanging upside down. Those who can leave a "good" word in the hearts of the people are great heroes. And those who kill and abuse the people, slaughter the city at every turn, and do not even let go of women, children, old and children, are beasts. These are my heartfelt words, and I encourage you. ”

After some translation, Meng Ge's face turned red and he bowed his head and was silent.

Zhao Hong glanced at the indignant Meng Ge and withdrew his gaze.

The Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, and these people will never have a common language.

"Emperor Song, are you going to continue to use troops to the north?"

The taciturn Kusaka finally spoke, glancing at the two maps on the wall.

"Kuochu Prince, I also want to say something from my heart, I hope you don't mind."

He came to this era, and the trajectory of history has shifted. The Mongolian prince who died in Xiangyang in history may usher in a different fate.

"Emperor Song, please speak!"

He bowed his chest and translated it respectfully.

"The country is delicate, and the capable and virtuous live in it. But whoever rules the world must love the people. I Han people have a saying, the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. I will send it to the prince of Kuand, hoping that you will be kind to all the people in the future, and will not abuse the people and kill the people. Any atrocities and evil deeds of slaughtering people in the world, my Great Song Dynasty will be punished. ”

After the translation of the general matter, he gave a bow to his chest, and said a word, but his face was still silent.

There are capable people in the world and virtuous people living in it, and the meaning of Emperor Song is no longer obvious. It is only a matter of time before troops are used in the north.

"Emperor Xie Song!"

The voice of the general secretary sounded, and all the ministers in the imperial study bowed and said yes, and Yelu Chucai and Li Bangrui were also in awe

Emperor Song loves the people like a son, and can be the king of the world. However, the sentence that the capable and the virtuous live in it has already indicated that there will be a war between the Song and Mongolia in the future.

"Emperor Song, Song and Mongolia, if they cede the two rivers and can't get their way, can't Song and Mongolia stop the sword soldiers forever and become each other's brotherly countries? Do you have to make rivers of blood and mountains of corpses? The people are in dire straits, and their lives are devastated, how can it be what the Song Emperor wants? ”

Li Bangrui said loudly again, but there was already an element of begging in his tone.

This time to enter the Song Dynasty to seek peace, do you want to get nothing?

500,000 taels of silver, 500,000 stone of grain, and the two rivers are ceded, and it is estimated that it is difficult to make a trip, and there is no meaning.

Meng Ge suddenly spoke, said a few words, and said a few words, Li Bangrui's face was ugly, and he was speechless.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Yelu, a gentleman cultivates his family and governs the country and the world, which is his life's wish. If you two are willing to come to our court to take up your duties, you will be appeased at any time along the way. Pacify the people and soothe the people, for the country and the people. You may wish to think about it. ”

Zhao Hong was unmoved, his tone was gentle, and he diverted the topic.

Li Bangrui and Yelu Chucai looked at each other, but before they could speak, Meng Ge chattered again, and the matter was translated hard.

"Emperor Song, Li Bangrui and Yelu Chucai are my courtiers of Mongolia, and they will serve Mongolia. It seems very inappropriate for Emperor Song to do this. ”

Listening to the words of the general, some of the generals wanted to be angry, but they were stopped by Zhao Hong's eyes.

"I'm just in love, don't mind."

Zhao Hong laughed and changed the topic.

"Mr. Yelu, Mr. Li, I wish you two a prosperous official fortune in Mongolia and make new achievements."

At this time, it seems that it is not inconsistent to say something on the scene.

"Emperor Song, thank you for your kindness. However, both of us are courtiers of the Mongol kingdom, and we are also valued by the Great Khan of Ogedei, so we should be loyal to the Mongols and the Great Khan of Ogedei. ”

Yelu Chucai used Mongolian language, and the general matter translated loudly, Zhao Hong smiled, and did not seem to be displeased.

"Two gentlemen, two princes and princes, life is geometric, and they sing about wine. The Great Khan of Ögedei loved good wine. When a few people go back, they bring more of each, as well as Chinese products such as glass, porcelain, pendulum, soap, etc. Tell him that I would exchange my proposal to return to the two rivers, and ask him to consider it carefully. Song and Mongolia have good friends and will always be a country of brothers. ”

Zhao Hong laughed and finished his words.

"Emperor Xie Da Song!"

Yelu Chucai and Li Bangrui bowed together.

Emperor Song was not tough enough, and there was room for détente. This trip was not in vain.

"Zhengong, prepare a banquet in the palace, I want to personally entertain a few Mongolian envoys, sing about wine, and don't get drunk and don't return!"

Zhao Hong laughed, Yelu Chucai and Li Bangrui Torre and the others saluted together, and went to the side hall to rest for a while.

"Your Majesty, do you really want 500,000 taels of silver and 500,000 stones of grain to buy back the two rivers?"

Zhen Dexiu couldn't help it, and said a stupid word.

"Your Majesty, buying back the two rivers is probably wishful thinking on the part of Your Majesty. Tatars, will not agree. ”

Xuan Xuan also shook his head.

"True Gong, Xuan Gong, you two are really sincere gentlemen, you still take the words at the negotiation table!"

Zhao Hong looked at the ministers with gloomy faces and snorted coldly.

"The land of the Central Plains, the sixteen states of Yanyun, all have to rely on my Great Song to get it back, how can I take the money to buy it? When the time is ripe and the money and food are sufficient, I will go on a northern expedition and drive the Tatar army out of the two rivers in one fell swoop! ”

Zhao Hong made a loud voice, Zhen Dexiu and Xuan Xuan both nodded, and all the ministers were also relieved.

After following Zhao Hong for so long, they all understood in their hearts. As Zhao Hong said, in the world of great contention, the weak eat the strong, and what the Song people lost, they could only get it back by themselves.
