Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Convey the news that Jin Guo intends to send envoys to discuss peace to Zong Ze.

Zong Ze felt that the matter was no small matter, so he sent it to Tokyo in an expedited [-] miles, and sent it directly to Zhao Ning.

In just two days, Zong Ze got a reply from Zhao Guan's family: Sure.

This matter was secretly advanced very quickly, so on the fifth day of November, envoys from the Kingdom of Jin entered the Song Dynasty.

In fact, the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin to enter the Song Dynasty were arranged to be top secret.

But the person who came to contact him, whether it was intentional or unintentional, leaked the news, and the news spread quickly.

By the tenth day of November, the news had spread to Tokyo publicly, causing an uproar.

For a while, the voice of the court demanding peace was rampant.

According to rumors, Zong Ze, the governor of Hebei and Hedong, pushed forward this summation.

This caused even greater waves in the capital.

Some passionate youths scolded Zongze bloody, and even greeted the eighteenth generation of Zongze's ancestors, calling him a traitor and a golden man's lackey.

Even arranged various jingles.

It wasn't until the "Tokyo Daily" published on the second day that the public knew that the negotiation this time was requested by the Kingdom of Jin, and the court arranged the peace negotiation.

Two days later, "Hebei Soldiers Daily" also published the antecedents of this negotiation.

Finally cleared up some misunderstandings.

But it's just a partial misunderstanding. After all, in this era, most people are illiterate, and they rely on storytellers to understand the real situation.

Oral communication is always prone to deviation.

And correcting a rumor takes time in itself.

Then why didn't Zhao Ning announce it through the newspaper in advance?

This matter cannot be announced in advance, what if the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin does not come to Tokyo after the announcement?

Isn't it a slap in the face?

This didn't end well.

Therefore, major national events will not be officially announced until the final confirmation.

As for the current rumors, there is no need to pursue them to the end. From ancient times to the present, rumors have always existed and cannot be eliminated, as long as they do not affect the overall situation.

There is no need for the imperial court to explain everything clearly to the people. After all, there is not so much energy, and there is no need for this matter.

Xilin Helu, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, was detained in Zhaozhou for a period of time and was allowed to enter the country.

He was "escorted" into the country by a special army.

If there was no army escort, this guy probably wouldn't be able to reach the capital, and would have been beaten to death by the crowd on the way.

On November [-], Xilinghelu entered the boundary of Gyeonggi.

Along the way, countless soldiers and civilians were ready to kill this guy, and some even stood guard near the official road, eating and sleeping there, with only one purpose: to kill the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin.

By November 23, Xilin Helu had arrived in Tokyo in a low-key manner.

This is his second time in Tokyo.

The first time was at the beginning of the fourth year of Xuanhe.

The Liao Kingdom has only half of the country left, Wanyan Aguda is still there, and the Liao Kingdom is about to perish. The Jin Kingdom sent envoys to show their favor to the Song Dynasty.

On the surface it was a show of favor, but in fact it was sending people to inquire about Da Song's strength.

Xilin Helu had two impressions when he came to Tokyo for the first time:

[-]. Prosperity.

[-]. The army is not well prepared. Song people do not advocate martial arts, but love diction.

At that time, the Kingdom of Jin had a one-sided understanding of the Song Dynasty, thinking that the Central Plains dynasty was very powerful, and did not dare to jump to the conclusion of defeating the Song Dynasty based on the information brought back by Xilinhelu.

It wasn't until Tong Guan led an army of 20 to attack Liao and was defeated by thousands of Liao troops that Jin Guo realized: what Xilin Helu said was true.

In the seventh year of Xuanhe, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang went south to attack the Song Dynasty, and then there were a series of events in Jingkang.

When Xilinhelu entered Tokyo, the escorts wanted him and his entourage to wear Song people's clothes and dress up as Song people, but they refused.

Perhaps someone in the escort team leaked the news on purpose. On this day, the common people in Tokyo were dispatched in groups.

Although they didn't dare to attack the "escort" army, all kinds of things were ready.

As soon as the Jin Guo envoy's convoy appeared, all kinds of shouts and curses sounded, and mud and small stones were thrown at the Jin Guo envoy's convoy.

Even the escorting troops turned a blind eye.

The government servants in Tokyo City were originally here to maintain law and order, but they all looked lively beside them.

After reporting this matter to Zhao Ning, Zhao Ning just said: "The people have resentment in their hearts and need to vent it, so don't suppress it."

However, Xilinghelu was not in the carriage, but took a path to the palace.

Objectively speaking, Zhao Ning still wants to talk to Jin Guo, and it is secondary to discuss whether or not to negotiate, so that he can learn more about the current Jin Guo.

On November 24, what Xilinhelu saw was not Zhao Guanjia, but Da Si Nong Chen Dong, Guozijian Jijiu Yang Shi and others, as well as some of Chen Dong's followers.

Chen Dong's level, in name, can be equal to that of Shangshu, but at most it can be regarded as a minister, deputy minister level.

Yang Shi looked like the Minister of Education, but in fact, in the Song Dynasty, the Guozijian Jijiu was only at the departmental level.

Xilinhelu thought that after he came, Da Song would immediately arrange for the prince to receive him, and he would be able to see Zhao Guan's family the next day.

Unexpectedly, I didn't even see a minister the next day.

Chen Dong, Yang Shi and others were the main combatants who made the most trouble in the first year of Jingkang.

At the beginning of the first year of Jingkang, Zhao Ning hadn't crossed over yet, and they were the ones who instigated the Tai students to run to the imperial palace and demand the emperor to fight resolutely and kill the six thieves.

What was the reaction of this group of people when they saw the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin?

There was no other reaction, but when they saw it, they surrounded Xilinhelu, scolded Xilinhelu in turn, and sprayed Xilinhelu's face with saliva.

The scolding made Xilinghelu jump up and down.

negotiation?

peace?

Can Da Sinong and Guozijian negotiate peace with Jin Guo on behalf of Song Dynasty?

That's impossible, after spraying, Gao Qiu ran out to be a peacemaker: all this is a misunderstanding, misunderstanding, let's go, Jin Shi, let's go to Cuju.

Go Cuju...

I don't know why, strange things fall from Gao Lian's clothes every now and then.

For example, drop a hammer.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm a craftsman and I often use a hammer."

Like dropping a knife.

"Don't get me wrong, my knife is for peeling apples, and I like apples myself."

For example, a pile of dried up...

"Don't get me wrong, I am a hard-working farmer, and my pile...is used for fertilization."

Chapter 247: Ending Jin Kingdom and Xixia? (Second more)

The envoys of the Kingdom of Jin spent an unforgettable few days in Tokyo. It was not until November 27th that they met the ruling Cai Mao.

Xilin Helu said: "I want to see your emperor."

Cai Mao said with a smile: "Messenger, the Son of Heaven is busy with state affairs. I'm afraid I don't have time to see you. If you have anything to say, please tell me."

"On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, I have come to negotiate peace with your country. It is unreasonable for me not to see you!" Xilinhelu yelled angrily.

Cai Mao said helplessly, "You are the ones who are willing to come, and His Majesty the Emperor didn't say that he must see you."

Now Xilin Helu was so angry that he was furious. He stayed in Tokyo for a few days and was threatened for a few days, but now he learned that he could not see the Emperor of Song.

"This envoy is here to negotiate a peace! Don't you want to negotiate a peace!" Xilin Helu's eyes widened, as if to stare Cai Mao to death.

Cai Mao touched his head, contemplated, thought for a while, and said, "I haven't heard His Majesty the Emperor say that he wants to negotiate a peace."

"It's unreasonable!" Xilin Helu had prepared a full stomach of words, and was going to be arrogant in the Song Dynasty Hall, and to be angry with the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers.

As a result, he went all the way south and was almost beaten to death. He came to Tokyo and ate for a few days, but in the end he still couldn't see the emperor of Song Dynasty.

Xilin Helu said frantically: "Aren't you afraid that my great golden heavenly soldiers will go south again?"

Cai Mao said indifferently, "Didn't you just go south?"

"You!" Xilin Helu pointed at Cai Mao, "You are an insult to Dajin! After I return, I will tell the truth to His Majesty the Emperor Dajin. You wait for my Dajin heavenly soldiers to go south and destroy your country! "

After finishing speaking, Xilinghelu went out.

Cai Mao reminded from behind: "Don't walk around, be careful to be beaten to death."

The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin stayed in the Song Dynasty for a few days before leaving angrily.

On the way back, he was naturally "escorted" northward.

The soldiers and civilians in Hebei did not expect the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin to withdraw so soon, so that the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin did not realize it after leaving the country.

Until December, the imperial court's newspaper published the results of the negotiations with Jin Guo.

The result of the negotiation was very simple: Jin Guo was arrogant and rude, and forced Da Song to pay compensation and cede the land, but the Zhao officials did not agree.

It is so concise and clear that people can understand it at a glance.

The reason for Zhao Ning's reluctance to meet the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin is also very simple.

He knew that the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin was here to disgust him, and he couldn't talk about any actual results, so there was no need to meet him.

But he fooled the envoy Jin to come to Tokyo, in fact, he wanted to confirm the conditions proposed by the envoy Jin, or to see the credential that Wanyan Wu begged to buy.

He received the credential that Wanyan Wu begged to buy, and he read all the requirements in the credential.

The Kingdom of Jin really wanted to negotiate peace, and proposed to open border trade, ask Da Song to become a minister, give old coins, and ask Da Song to marry the princess.

These are extremely useful information.

For example, the opening of border trade will inevitably involve trade wars and currency wars, which are happening all the time in Song and Jin Dynasties in addition to military wars.

Gao Qiu asked puzzledly: "The official, why didn't you kill the envoy?"

Zhao Ning said: "Nowadays, the head of the Jin Dynasty and the leader of the He faction are in power. If the Jin envoy is killed, the Lord and faction will definitely lose face in the Jin country, and the leader of the war faction will rise. This is not good for us."

Gao Taiwei was stunned when he heard it, and felt that these truths were really concise and concise when he said them from Zhao Guan's family. No wonder he had to send someone to "escort" the envoy out of the country.

"Then why don't the officials see the golden envoy?"

"What's the use of seeing them?" Zhao Ning smiled, "I want to tell the Jin people that I don't care about their peace talks. If they want to fight, I will accompany them at any time. They can fight as long as they want."

Gao Qiu's heart was shocked, and he quickly took the opportunity to flatter him: "Your Majesty is wise, and my respect for His Majesty is like a surging river!"

In fact, Zhao Ning's demeanor was not just for the Jin people to see, but for the Song Dynasty's own people.

Internally, we must continue to publicize the main battle, publicize the crisis, and unite the Quartet, but externally, the secretive means can be more flexible: do not take the initiative, do not refuse, and do not take responsibility.

Zhao Ning said again: "Don't worry, the Kingdom of Jin will send envoys over."

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xilinhelu returned to Yanjing and angrily reported the process of going to Song Dynasty as an envoy.

After Wanyan Zongwang finished listening, he burst out laughing.

Xilin Helu asked suspiciously, "Your Highness, why are you laughing?"

Wanyan Zongwang said: "It's not that the Zhao family doesn't want to talk about it, it's because they think we don't want to talk about it."

"We have already sent envoys to Da Song, why don't we want to talk about it?"

Wanyan Zongwang didn't talk to him too much, he just said: "You go back to Shangjing and report the truth."

"Yes!"

Xilin Helu left in a hurry, Liu Yanzong said: "It seems that this official Zhao's family is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he has used both kingly and domineering techniques with great proficiency."

Wanyan Zongwang nodded, he didn't expect that Zhao Guan's family didn't even see the envoy.

Now it seems that Zhao Guan's family doesn't care about negotiating a peace at all.
