Chapter 166: Finish Yan Sheng's decision

Jin Kingdom, Yanjing, inside the Imperial Palace.

Wan Yansheng sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face. His gaze swept over every courtier in the court, as if searching for an answer that would bring him comfort.

"You've all heard about the internal changes in the Great Song Dynasty, right?" Wan Yansheng spoke slowly, revealing a trace of exhaustion and helplessness in his voice.

In the court, Wanyan Zongyi stood at the front, and he told the story of the recent internal changes in the Great Song Dynasty. There is nothing emotional in his words, as if he is simply stating a fact.

However, this fact caused turmoil in the hearts of the courtiers.

He clearly remembered that three years ago, the Jin Guotie cavalry broke through Kaifeng City as if it had entered a no-man's land.

At that time, the Great Song Dynasty was weak and incompetent, and the Jin State benefited greatly from it.

Every year, the Great Song Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands of taels of coins to the Jin State, and these riches greatly enhanced the national strength of the Jin State.

However, the current Great Song Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the strong-handed Zhao Yingluo prison made Wan Yansheng feel extremely uneasy.

Wan Yansheng's heart was full of complexities and contradictions.

He hoped that the Great Song would remain weak so that the Jin State could easily control it and benefit from it.

However, he also clearly knew that a powerful Great Song Dynasty was also a huge threat to the Jin Kingdom.

In the court, Wanyan Zongfu stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should send an envoy to Kaifeng to congratulate Zhao Yingluo on his imprisonment. At the same time, it can also take this opportunity to bring the relationship between the two countries closer. Today's Great Song Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, and we can no longer despise them as we did in the past. ”

Since his defeat at the hands of Zhao Yingluo, he has completely lost his sharpness.

Wan Yan Zongfu's words made Wan Yan Sheng's brows tighten.

He knew that Wanyan Zongfu had completely lost his sharpness since he was defeated by Zhao Yingluo.

However, he can't deny that there is some truth in Wanyan Zongfu's words.

It is an indisputable fact that the Great Song Dynasty is becoming stronger and stronger, and if the Jin State continues to be its enemy, I am afraid that it will fall into an unfavorable situation.

Wanyan Zongfu's words were supported by Wanyan Zongyi.

"Father, the sons and daughters thought that what Lord Wanyan Zongfu said was extremely true. Today's Great Song Dynasty is strong, and the government and the opposition are vigorous, and we can no longer underestimate them as we did in the past. Sending envoys to repair relations between the two countries is beneficial to our country. ”

Wan Yansheng nodded in agreement, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart.

However, not everyone agrees with Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zongyi.

Wanyan Zonghan stood up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should take advantage of the unstable situation in the Great Song Dynasty and take advantage of the situation to attack south!" Shame on you! Although the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty has improved, as long as our Jin National Iron Cavalry comes out, we will definitely be able to break through their capital again! ”

Wan Yan Zonghan's words made Wan Yan Sheng's eyes flash a trace of restlessness, and it immediately caused an uproar in the court. Some courtiers supported his view, believing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that the Jin State should seize and eliminate the Great Song in one fell swoop.

However, some courtiers objected to him, believing that it was too risky and that if it failed, the consequences would be disastrous.

Wan Yansheng looked at the courtiers who were arguing endlessly, and his heart was full of helplessness.

He knew that no matter what decision he made, there would be people who would oppose it. However, as the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, he must be responsible for the future of the Kingdom of Jin.

He pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "I have decided to send an envoy to Kaifeng to congratulate Zhao Yingluo on his imprisonment. ”

This decision immediately caused a sensation in the court. Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zongyi's faces showed a look of joy, while Wanyan Zonghan looked unwilling and angry.

Wan Yan Sheng looked at Wan Yan Zonghan's expression and sighed lightly in his heart.

He knew that Wanyan Zonghan was an ambitious man, and he had always wanted to destroy the Great Song Dynasty and establish a more powerful Jin State.

However, the reality is cruel, and after years of war, the Jin Kingdom has been severely damaged and needs to recuperate.

"Sticky Han, you must understand that I made this decision for the sake of the future of the Jin Kingdom."

Wan Yan Sheng slowly spoke, revealing a trace of exhaustion and helplessness in his voice, "The Great Song Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, and we can no longer despise it as we did in the past." We need to establish a good relationship with the Great Song Dynasty so that we can ensure the long-term peace and stability of the Jin Kingdom. ”

Wanyan Zonghan listened to Wanyan Sheng's words, although he was unwilling, he could only accept this reality.

Yanjing in October was already a little cold, and the atmosphere in the court became solemn with Wan Yansheng's decision.

Wan Yansheng looked at the courtiers in the court, and sighed lightly in his heart, he knew that his decision was not perfect, and it might even cause dissatisfaction and opposition from some people.

However, as the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, he must be responsible for the future of the Kingdom of Jin, and he believes that his decisions will bring a better future to the Kingdom of Jin.

The convoy of the envoy of the Jin State slowly drove out of Yanjing City and headed in the direction of Kaifeng. As an envoy, Wanyan Zongyi's heart was full of expectations and apprehensions, and he didn't know what the results of this envoy would bring.

In the Central Plains in November, the wind is cold and snowflakes are flying.

Wanyan Zongyi's motorcade slowly drove down the road to Kaifeng, its wheels creaking over the snow.

Through the car window, Wanyan Zongyi saw the wheat seedlings along the way.

Although it had just snowed, the wheat seedlings still stubbornly showed their heads, and they were full of greenery.

He couldn't help but sigh that Zhao Yingluo was really a strange person.

In just three years, her identity has undergone earth-shaking changes, from Lu Haowen's niece to Zong Ze's righteous daughter, and then to Her Royal Highness Princess of the Great Song Dynasty, and now she is even more responsible for supervising the country. Every change in her identity is accompanied by a legendary story.

Wanyan Zongyi clearly remembered that Zhao Yingluo, as a member of the Great Song Dynasty, was escorted north by the Jin State.

Since successfully escaping the control of the Jin Kingdom and returning to the Great Song Dynasty, she is like a bright star, rising in the sky of the Great Song Dynasty.

Wanyan Zongyi couldn't help but be full of curiosity and awe about Zhao Yingluo.

He wondered what kind of wisdom and courage this strange woman had to create so many miracles in just three years.

Her seeds allowed the people of the Great Song Dynasty to bid farewell to the famine, and the fire cannon she ordered to be developed became a sharp weapon for the defeat of the Dajin Kingdom. These achievements, no matter which one they are, are enough to make her famous in history.

The convoy slowly drove into Kaifeng City, and Wanyan Zongyi saw the prosperity and vitality of this ancient city. On both sides of the street, there are many shops, and people come and go, and there is an endless stream.

The main hall of the court meeting is magnificent and brilliant.

Sunlight shines through the delicate window lattices and spills into the hall, forming dappled light and shadows. There was a solemn and solemn atmosphere in the air.

Wanyan Zongyi, as the envoy of the Jin State, once again stood in this hall.

His gaze involuntarily fell on the beautiful figure on the dragon chair.

Zhao Yingluo was dressed in a gorgeous costume and sat on the dragon chair, her face was beautiful, revealing a very oppressive atmosphere.
