Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Then have you found this kind of behavior in Qingyuan Mansion?"

"Zhending Mansion is also Han people, and the trade between Qingyuan Mansion and Zhending Mansion cannot be really stopped." Hu Quan said with emotion.

The difficulty of this matter is that Zhending Mansion is still the territory of Song Dynasty in terms of law, and the people there are all Han Chinese.

The people there spoke a proficient northern dialect, and they couldn't tell which ones were instigated by the Jin people.

"Smugglers are naturally not in the minority." Zhao Ning said, "Big Song copper coins can buy more goods from the Kingdom of Jin. The word of profit is the first, and the people are all vying for the first."

Hu Quan said: "If so, we should strictly investigate."

"How to strictly investigate?"

Hu Quan said: "Blocking is worse than sparse. If you set up a trading site here, all trade must enter the trading site. The trading site will be strictly controlled by special officials. Goods and money must be inspected. Going south, sheep, horses, green and white salt, all will be seized."

Zhao Ning said with a smile: "What Hu Qing said is very suitable for me. I have prepared candidates."

"Your Majesty is wise, it turns out that His Majesty has already arranged it."

If Zhang Jun is arranged to clean up the border trade, Zhao Ning has already imagined the scene at that time.

With Zhang Jun's greed, he will definitely try to find contraband, and then enter his private pocket.

Let's talk about these contraband being sold privately to the south.

In that way, all the copper coins will go into Zhang Jun's pocket.

As long as it doesn't flow to the Kingdom of Jin, it's easy to handle while still in the territory.

The more copper coins in Zhang Jun's hands, the better, after all, they were saved for Zhao Guan's family.

In this matter, Zhao Ning could no longer imagine who was more suitable than Zhang Jun.

"You need to handle the newspaper office as soon as possible. They are all in the Qingyuan Mansion to promote the payment of banknotes. You need your full assistance."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will live up to my trust."

Hu Quan thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, I still have one thing I don't know."

"Say."

"Why did your Majesty come to Qingyuan Mansion suddenly? This is the land of military strategists, and Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Lord."

Zhao Ning smiled and said, "Of course I'm here to boost the morale of the boys."

"Could it be that I want to use troops against the Kingdom of Jin?"

"Using troops is not enough, I just want to test the Kingdom of Jin."

"I'm stupid."

"You'll find out soon enough."

Zhao Ning did not elaborate.

According to the information sent back by Ma Kuo's Military Intelligence Department not long ago, Mengwu Khan had a falling out with Emperor Jin in Shangjing.

For Zhao Ning, this matter is a big deal.

People in this era have no concept of Mughals.

After all, the Mughals had always been a scattered tribe under the Liao Kingdom before, and they couldn't become big.

The Song people believed that the Jurchens were the biggest enemy, followed by the Dangxiang people.

But as a traverser, Zhao Ning knew that the threat of the Mughals should never be underestimated.

The Jin people had already sensed the potential threat of the Mughals, and the incident with Hebul was a well-known event in history, which marked the overall deterioration of the relationship between the Jin Kingdom and the Mughals.

On June 26, Zhao Ning personally ordered Li Cui to be the forward, commanding [-] elite troops to go north.

On June 27th, Li Cui crossed the border between Qingyuan Mansion and Zhending Mansion, and the Jin Army scouts immediately conveyed this information to Wanyan Yinshuke.

Wanyan Yinshu was so excited that he was about to send troops, but he received an order from Yanjing temporarily: No troops are allowed!

In order to stabilize the situation, Zongwang also sent envoys to Zhending Mansion.

When he heard that the Song Army had crossed the border, the envoy immediately went to Qingyuan Mansion and asked to meet His Majesty the Great Song Emperor.

On June [-], Zhao Ning received a request from the Jin envoy to see him.

On July [-]st, Jin Envoy Wan Yanjing arrived at Qingyuan Mansion and met Zhao Ning.

Wanyan Jing is Wanyan Zongwang's son, Zongwang Jinglue Yanyun, he was transferred by his father to hold an important position in the Jinglue Department.

Zhao Ning's sudden arrival on the northern front this time aroused the vigilance of the Jin army. Zong Wang immediately sent a large number of scouts to investigate the Song army in other state capitals, especially the Song army under Li Gang's command on the eastern front.

If the Song army took the opportunity to go north, Zong Wang would have to deal with it.

The best situation is that neither side moves.

After all, the negotiation was promoted by Zongwang in the court. If the Song Dynasty really made a move at this critical juncture, I am afraid that Wanyan Zongwang's prestige and management situation that he has managed to accumulate with great difficulty will fall short.

Wanyan Wu's begging will inevitably accept his power, and he will be important to Zonghan again.

After Wan Yanjing saw Zhao Ning, he saluted: "I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Zhao Ning said with a smile: "What is the role of the Jin envoy here?"

Chapter 300 Crazy Gold Envoy (Part [-])

Wan Yanjing said: "The envoy often reads Confucian classics, and has admired the sacred learning of the Central Plains for a long time."

When everyone heard that this barbarian actually read the book of saints, they suddenly became a little proud.

You Jin people are good at fighting wars, but don’t you also respect Sinology now?

Wan Yanjing continued: "I heard that the Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette in China, do you know if it is true?"

As soon as Zhao Ning heard about this guy, he was ready to set him up.

This is the way of lobbyists in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period.

Lobbyist: Is Your Majesty a sage monarch?

A certain king: No one understands sage better than Gu.

Lobbyist: What is a sage monarch?

A certain king: Honest and trustworthy, courteous and corporal, magnanimous, benevolent and moral...

Lobbyist: Then why did your majesty go to invade the territory of another country? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to the widow of the king in the village of another country?Want to keep it for yourself?Your Majesty, have your subjects ever known this kind of thing?What if they knew?Are you still wise?Isn't this country dying?

This kind of routine is to first put a high hat on the other party, and this high hat is in the form of asking questions, let the other party put it on themselves, and then return to specific things.

Finally, go deeper into governing the country, as if you fucking don't admit your mistake now, your country will explode in place!

Zhao Ning said calmly, "China has been a state of etiquette since ancient times."

Wan Yanjing said again: "The master said: To govern with virtue, it is like Beichen, where all the stars live in it."

Everyone was amazed, they didn't expect this barbarian to say a word of Confucius casually.

Wan Yanjing continued: "Confucius said that if the government is governed by virtue, the king will be like the Polaris. Virtue is worthy of the world, and the people all over the world will support him as their monarch. Your Majesty, may I ask the emissary to say something? wrong?"

Zhao Ning said: "You are right."

"The little envoy has little talent and learning, please enlighten me, what is virtue?"

Hu Quan said on the side: "Nature is character and benevolent government. If you don't cultivate virtue, you don't talk about learning."

Wan Yanjing said again: "If you lose your virtue, what will happen?"

Hu Quan continued: "Those who lose their virtue must be alone."

Wan Yanjing said: "What if the king loses his virtue?"

Hu Quan kept silent.

Zhao Ning said: "The king loses his virtue, and disasters come from heaven."

A smile appeared on Wanyanjing's face, it was the kind of smile that "schemes succeeded".

He also said: "Your Majesty the Emperor ruled the world with virtue, why did he lose his virtue?"

Hu Quan scolded angrily: "You are presumptuous! Your Majesty is the king of benevolence and morality, respected by the whole world. If you dare to humiliate the emperor in public, what crime should you deserve!"

Zhao Ning said with a smile: "Let the envoy Jin finish his speech."

Wan Yanjing continued: "The little envoy said that His Majesty lost his virtue."

"Dare to ask Jinshi, how did I lose my virtue?"

"Can the two countries be negotiating peace?"

"The Jin envoy has been to Bianjing twice, and is in the process of negotiating peace."

"Since the peace is being negotiated, why did the State of Song suddenly send troops to invade our dynasty? Isn't this a violation of morality?"

Zhao Ning laughed: "What the envoy Jin said is absolutely true!"

Wan Yanjing was stunned for a moment, Zhao Guan's reaction was different from what he thought.

I said you were immoral, but you actually said I was absolutely right?

"Should His Majesty withdraw the Song army to show the sincerity of the peace talks between the two countries?"

"Withdraw?" Zhao Ning looked puzzled, "How can I withdraw the army, Jinshi, can you teach me?"

"That army is the army of His Majesty the Emperor. If His Majesty gives an order, the army will withdraw?"

Wan Yanjing continued to add: "If His Majesty can't withdraw the army, wouldn't it be a violation of virtue? How can we convince the people of the world, and how can we govern our country?"

Zhao Ning laughed loudly, and said to the people around him: "Listen, everyone, violating virtue is not enough to govern a country."

Wan Yanjing felt that Zhao Guan's words and deeds were strange, I scolded you, why are you so happy?

Zhao Ning's smile gradually narrowed: "Golden envoy, I ask you, how to withdraw my army?"

Wan Yanjing said patiently: "All you need is an order from His Majesty the Emperor."

"Just what?" Zhao Ning's tone suddenly became sharp, "Is it possible to withdraw the army from my territory to my territory?"

Wanyan Jing was slightly taken aback.

Zhao Ning continued: "The Zhending Mansion originally belonged to the Great Song Dynasty. My army is maintaining law and order in the Great Song Dynasty, and I still need to report to you?"

"This……"

"On the other hand, the Kingdom of Jin has repeatedly violated our Great Song Dynasty, massacred the common people, and the world is boiling. Isn't this immoral?"

Wan Yanjing wanted to say something, but it was stuck in his throat: "I..."

Zhao Ning stared at the envoy with fiery eyes, and continued to yell: "You mean immoral, do you mean Wanyan Wu begging for money?"

The envoy was not allowed to speak, Zhao Ning continued: "It seems that Wanyan Wu's begging to buy is unethical, and even his courtiers can't stand it anymore. They came to my Great Song Dynasty to accuse Sang Huai and scold him. We have to send someone to persuade him!"

Wanyan Jing's face was ashen, and he no longer had the air he had just now, but he tried to argue: "The strong are respected, my Dajin won the Zhending Mansion with my strength, and the Zhending Mansion belongs to my Dajin. The invasion of the army is to openly trample on the peace talks between the two sides, and it means that your Majesty the Emperor has lost his virtue!"

Zhao Ning was even more dismissive: "Since the strong are respected, then my army is sure to go north, and why not drive it with a strong army?"

"His Majesty the Emperor is going to declare war on me?"

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

The officials below were also very nervous.

With the current situation of Song Dynasty, it is impossible to fight at all.

They didn't know why Zhao Guan's family had a cramp and suddenly wanted to run to the north to challenge Jin Guo.

Zhao Ning said: "I dispatched my Great Song soldiers to our Great Song territory to maintain law and order and eliminate banditry. Why did the envoy declare war?"

Zhao Ning's words are heartbreaking. I sent troops to maintain the country's law and order. You said I declared war on you?Do you consider yourself a gangster?

Wan Yanjing was completely speechless, and left angrily.

After Wanyan Jing left, Liu Hao, the garrison commander of Qingyuan Mansion, said, "Your Majesty, do we really want to go to war with the Kingdom of Jin?"

Zhao Ning only said one sentence: "Of course we don't really want to fight, but we must be prepared to fight at any time."

Wan Yanjing hurriedly left Zhending Mansion and returned to Yanjing to return to his command.

Next, Zhao Ning was stationed in Qingyuan Mansion.
