Wan Yan Sheng sat on the dragon chair, his eyes revealing a trace of unwillingness and doubt. Since learning that Zhao Yingluo, the eunuch of the Great Song Dynasty, had quelled the civil strife by thunderous means, his original plan to take advantage of the situation has completely failed.

"This Zhao Yingluo was able to stabilize the situation in a short period of time, which is really beyond my expectations." Wan Yansheng muttered to himself, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the armrest of the dragon chair.

At this time, an old minister stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Yingluo's talent and wisdom have long been passed down as a good story, she is not only proficient in poetry and songs, but also has outstanding talents in governing the country and securing the country. Our previous plans may need to be reconsidered. ”

Wan Yansheng took a deep breath and nodded: "You're right, we can't act blindly anymore. Send an order to send a messenger to the Great Song Dynasty, I want to know this Zhao Yingluo in person and see what kind of ability she has. ”

Wanyan Zongyi, as the son of Wanyan Sheng, has always been aware of the regrets and unwillingness in his father's heart. He took the initiative to ask Ying and was willing to go to the Great Song Dynasty as a messenger to find out.

In the capital of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yingluo was not surprised by the arrival of the envoy of the Jin State. She knew that Wan Yan Sheng had been eyeing the Great Song Dynasty, and this time she sent an envoy to come just to explore the truth.

The moment Yan Zongyi stepped into the palace, he felt an unprecedented majesty and solemnity. Zhao Yingluo sat on the throne, her eyes revealed a kind of firmness and wisdom, as if she could see through people's hearts.

"The Wanyan envoy came from afar, I don't know what to see?" Zhao Yingluo's voice is calm and powerful, giving people a feeling that should not be underestimated.

Wan Yan Zongyi bowed and handed over Wan Yan Sheng's handwritten letter. Zhao Yingluo took the letter, read it carefully, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty Wanyan expressed his respect for the Great Song Dynasty and his appreciation for the palace in the letter, and the palace should laugh at it. I don't know what else the envoy has to do with this visit? ”

Wanyan Zongyi's heart moved, and he felt Zhao Yingluo's sensitivity and wit. He took a deep breath and said frankly: "To be honest, my father originally planned to take advantage of the civil strife in the Great Song Dynasty to send troops south, but Niangniang quelled the civil strife with amazing actions, which frustrated my father's plan. This time, I came to express my father's respect and friendship to Niangniang, and secondly, I hope to personally understand Niangniang's philosophy of governing the country, so that the two countries can coexist peacefully in the future. ”

Zhao Yingluo nodded lightly when she heard this: "What the envoy said is very true. The palace also hopes to establish friendly relations with the Kingdom of Jin and jointly maintain peace and stability in the border areas. As for the concept of governing the country, in short, it is 'people-oriented, governing the country by virtue'. Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the culture prospers, can the country be truly strong. ”

After hearing this, Yan Zongyi's heart was shocked, he glanced at Zhao Yingluo deeply, and then solemnly made a big salute: "Niangniang is far-sighted and far-sighted, which is admirable." If my father could learn about Niangniang's philosophy of governing the country, he would definitely reconsider the relationship between the two countries. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the estrangement in their hearts seemed to dissipate a lot at this moment. In the following time, they discussed in detail the cooperation between the two countries and reached a series of consensuses. When Wanyan Zongyi left, his heart was full of expectations for the future and respect for Zhao Yingluo.

In the depths of the Jin Imperial Palace, Wan Yansheng urgently convened his ministers to discuss state affairs. His expression was solemn, and his eyebrows revealed his deep concern for the Southern Great Song Dynasty.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Wan Yansheng said in a deep voice, "the Great Song Dynasty is growing stronger and stronger under Zhao Yingluo's rule, and our repeated plans to go south have not been successful. What do we do now? ”

An old minister stepped forward, stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Yingluo is extremely intelligent, not comparable to ordinary women. If we attack again, we are afraid that we will lose our troops and lose more than we lose. ”

Wan Yansheng frowned: "Then in your opinion, how should we deal with it?" ”

The old minister pondered for a moment and suggested: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we can change our strategy and send an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty in the name of peace talks, secretly observe Zhao Yingluo's statecraft, and seek a way for the two countries to coexist peacefully. ”

Wan Yan Sheng's eyes flashed with a gleam when he heard this, and he nodded and praised: "This plan is very wonderful!" Then send a messenger to the Great Song Dynasty, take peace as the precious, and explore Zhao Yingluo's reality and reality. ”

In the Great Song Palace, Zhao Yingluo also convened a group of confidants to discuss state affairs. Her expression was calm, and her eyebrows revealed a sense of firmness and wisdom.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Zhao Yingluo said softly, "The Jin Kingdom has frequently mobilized troops and horses recently, and it seems that it has the intention of going south. How can we respond? ”

A young general stepped forward and made a generous statement: "Niangniang, the wolf ambition of the Jin Kingdom has repeatedly violated my borders. The minister is willing to lead the troops to the frontier and swear to defend the Great Song River and Mountain! ”

Zhao Yingluo smiled and shook her head: "The general's courage is commendable, but war is not the best way to solve the problem. We should put the people first and try to avoid the outbreak of war. ”

Another Wenchen stepped forward and arched his hand: "What Niangniang said is extremely true. He suggested that we strengthen friendly exchanges with neighboring countries and jointly build a peaceful and stable international environment. ”

Zhao Yingluo nodded in agreement: "This plan is very good!" We should not only strengthen diplomatic relations, but also pay attention to the improvement of people's livelihood at home, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so that the country can enjoy long-term peace and stability. ”

At this moment, a guard came to report: "Qi Yu Niangniang, Jin sent an envoy to sue for peace." ”

Zhao Yingluo's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and she smiled: "Oh? The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin came to sue for peace? This is a new thing. The order was sent down, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin was warmly entertained, and a palace banquet was arranged, and the palace was to meet the envoy in person. ”

At the palace banquet, the envoy of the Jin State had a friendly exchange with Zhao Yingluo. Both sides have their own agendas, but they have shown a desire for peace and respect for each other's cultures. The banquet sowed the seeds of hope for peaceful coexistence between the two countries.

After Yan Sheng learned about the envoy's meeting with Zhao Yingluo, he secretly admired this woman's wisdom and courage in his heart. He began to rethink the future direction of relations between the two countries, and decided to temporarily abandon his plan to go south and instead strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the Great Song Dynasty.

Although the relationship between the Great Song and the Jin Kingdom remained complex and volatile, the tension between the two monarchs gradually eased, and the idea of peace and friendship began to take root in the hearts of the two peoples.

With the easing of relations between the two countries, the exchanges between the Great Song and the Jin Kingdom became more and more frequent. The envoys shuttled between the two countries, carrying a message of friendship and peace. Merchants from both countries also began to trade with each other, resulting in the prosperity of both economies.

In this friendly atmosphere, Wan Yansheng sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty again, this time with precious gifts and sincere greetings, hoping to further deepen his friendship with Zhao Yingluo. The envoy was warmly received by Zhao Yingluo, and the two sides had in-depth exchanges in a friendly atmosphere.
