Chapter 103
It has been 15 years since Kaifeng fell into gold in the second year of Jingkang and Jianyan went south.

In the past 15 years, there have been countless battles between the Song and Jin Dynasties, from defense to offense, from west to east, from Zongze to Yuefei, from Wanyan Zongwang to Wanyan Wushu,
The boundaries of the two countries have changed, the emperors of the two countries have changed, and the coaches of the two countries have also changed.

The only thing that remains the same is that the state of Song has never forgotten peace; while fighting the war, it is praying for peace.

Qin Xiangye smiled shyly. On the small West Lake in front of Xuande Hall, his waist has never been straightened.

I was able to be straight before, but now I can't. The old nine has changed.

But after today, it is still straight.

"The officials, ministers and Jinshi have probably drawn up the regulations. You can take a look to see if there is anything wrong with it."

As he spoke, he presented a book to the past.

Liu Bang didn't intend to pick it up at all, he just said:
"Qin Xiang is so worried about state affairs that he even rushes to do the work of the Ministry of Rites... You have worked hard."

"Sharing worries for the king, ministers dare not speak bitterness."

Already accustomed to his face, the emperor sprinkled a handful of bait into the lake:
"Don't look at it, I agree to everything."

Qin Hui was slightly taken aback, but he didn't expect that the emperor would not even look at it.

He was already ready to bargain with the emperor, and he and Zhang Tonggu even negotiated a few items specially for Lao Jiu.

But now... as if a punch had been punched on the cotton, that sense of powerlessness surged up again.

The emperor didn't play cards according to common sense, but he couldn't, and quickly dissuaded him:
"Actually, the treaty is not much different from the last peace negotiation, but this time the Jin people are more sincere."

"The promised land of the Central Plains... will not be given to us anymore. The Song and Jin Dynasties used the Huaihe River as the boundary, and everyone will not disturb each other. In this way, it can be seen that they are indeed coming to make peace this time."

Last time, it was said that Shaanxi and Henan would be given to Song State, but people turned around and refused to admit it.

To be honest, if the golden man still made too many concessions this time, Prime Minister Qin would not believe it in his heart.

On the contrary, Zhang Tonggu refused to give up an inch, and his demands were even more excessive. It really got Qin Xiangye to confirm that this time it was not a tactic to delay the attack.

Liu Bang waved his hand: "If you say yes, you agree. Are you still afraid that I won't admit it?"

"Since you went to talk, I also believe that you are wholeheartedly for the country and towards me. As my prime minister, you can't speak to the golden man, right?"

After hearing this, Qin Hui was both happy and anxious: "The minister is naturally loyal to His Majesty and Song Dynasty."

After a pause, he put away the tie... Lao Jiu was bent on seeking peace, so he would not be confused in such a big matter.

It's a bit redundant to be so careful.

"Officials, that Yue Pengju..."

"Yue Fei?"

The emperor seemed to remember this person just now: "That's right, he and Zhang Jun should be back soon."

The military situation in Shanghai Pu has been passed on for a long time. It is said that they wiped out all the Jin people there as soon as they arrived, and it was a big victory.

Qin Hui said with a smile: "Officials, don't forget the conditions of Wanyan Wushu! Isn't there a prerequisite for peace negotiations between the two countries?"

"You mean to kill Yue Fei, right?"

The emperor pointed it out, but Qin Hui fell silent.

"Of course I remember. When they come back, you can show your credit for them."

The biggest stone in my heart fell to the ground. As long as the emperor still remembers this matter, everything else can be discussed.

In this way, thinking of quickly announcing the good news to Zhang Tonggu, and bowing to the emperor, Prime Minister Qin planned to leave.

He only took two steps, and he turned back immediately:

"I'm getting old, my brain is not working, and I almost forgot the big things."

Then, he took out a letter from his sleeve:
"This is a family letter written by the Empress Dowager Xuanhe, and I hereby present it to Your Majesty."

Liu Bang took the letter, and Qin Hui thought about it again... Liu Ziyu's matter had to be said by Jin Ren himself, and others would not be pleased if he said it... After confirming that nothing else was left behind, he resigned and left go.

As soon as he left, Liu Bang's hand holding the letter seemed to lose all strength, allowing it to slip from his fingers and fall into Xiaoxi Lake.

Soon, the letter from the family from the north was completely hidden in the water.

And the other end... Today can be said to be the happiest day for Master Qin.

No matter how the emperor changes, the temperament of fearing the golden man like a tiger will not change after all.

Regardless of how tough he speaks and how spineless he behaves, that's not him either.

These things can fool other people, but they cannot fool themselves alone.

All the way out of the imperial city, without even turning a corner, Qin Xiangye rushed directly towards Dutingyi.

It's just that when he was on the road, he was a little strange, and called the butler Qin Twelve:

"When I came here, the road was full of vendors, why are there no one now?"

Qin Hui was curious, how could Qin Twelve know, he randomly caught a peddler on the side of the road, asked the ins and outs, and then came back to report:

"Master, it's a disaster."

"Speak straight, don't bend the corner."

"It is said that Yin Xinciying of Lin'an Prefecture forced him to buy the treasure that was supposed to be sold to the Jinshi... It's nothing, the main thing is, the main thing..."

Qin Hui was so anxious that he almost scolded his mother. If he has something to do with the Jinren, it's still a trivial matter!
"What is the main thing, you tell me!"

Qin Twelve, who has studied, turned his mind faster, and said in a low voice:

"The officials withdrew the [-] yuan allocated to Dutingyi, and the Ministry of Rites also issued a notice that all the Jin envoy's entertainment in the Song Dynasty...are in charge of themselves."

Hearing this, Prime Minister Qin turned his brain for several times. After a long time, he swallowed his throat and said:

"You...you go to the mansion to pay [-] yuan to support it, act quickly, and never neglect the Beishi!"

Qin Twelve hesitated for a moment: "Master Xiang, let us do it..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Hui hurriedly said: "There are so many things to manage! Don't dawdle, hurry up!"

"Then...if Madam doesn't allow..."

Qin Hui stared at him: "If she dares, someone will divorce her!"

These words were serious, Qin Twelve finally stopped delaying, pulled out his legs, and disappeared in a flash.

When we arrived at Dutingyi, we saw that the gate had been surrounded by more than 100 businessmen, everyone had notes in their hands, and their mouths were not very clean.

But the overall purpose is to make the gold man pay back the money.

Seeing this scene, Qin Xiangye almost fainted from anger, and saw Su Fu watching from above, so he didn't ask some messengers to stop him!

He jumped out of the sedan chair and shouted to the group of merchants:
"Be quiet! Be quiet! Know where this is!"

Domineering is domineering, but it's a pity that his voice was too low, covered by the scolding, no one heard him at all.

On the contrary, when everyone saw this thin old man hysterical, they thought that the old man had also been cheated of his treasure by the golden man. Seeing how old he was, they all felt a little pitiful.

Seeing that his words were useless, Qin Hui was extremely angry, and ran to Su Fu who was in the cool shade under the eaves again:

"Brother Zhonghu, why don't you ask someone to stop you! Are you just letting these people make trouble?"

"If the envoy Jin is offended and the major events of the two countries are delayed, who should be responsible for this?!"

Old man Su folded his hands in front of his chest, leaning against the wall, greedily absorbing the coolness brought by the icy wall:
"Qin Xiang, you have to forgive me for my difficulties."

"The people of the Jin Kingdom don't give money to buy things. It doesn't make sense anywhere. As Song officials, you and I can't seek justice for our own people. You can't just favor the Jin people to drive them away, right?"

Qin Hui rolled his eyes again and again, no wonder Lao Jiu didn't listen to the terms of the peace negotiation!

It turned out that he had already vented his anger here!
That's right, no matter what the conditions are, the emperor wants to negotiate a peace, and he can't take advantage of a big place, so he actually uses these insidious tricks!

Qin Hui glared at Su Fu: "Since he doesn't want to help, what is Su Shangshu still doing here? Is he just here to see Jinshi's jokes?"

"Oh," Su Fu suddenly realized, "someone is here for business."

"Business?"

Qin Hui was about to ask him what he was doing, but saw that the gate of the Dutingyi was slowly opened.

Liu Kai and the living person took the lead, and behind them... was the person from the Kingdom of Jin who came this time.

Not only that, but they were also surrounded by the imperial guards. This scene did not look like the envoy of the Great Jin Kingdom, it was almost the same as the prisoners being escorted.

"Uncle Liu Xin! You..."

Qin Hui's voice sounded, but Liu Qi hadn't spoken yet, but Zhang Tonggu heard it, stood up and stared at him:
"I have learned the way of hospitality in Song Kingdom today!"

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left without giving Qin Xiangye a chance to explain.

On the other side, Lu Zai asked someone to pick out more than a dozen loads, all of which were treasures that should have been sold to the Jinren.

"Each line up and take your voucher to pick up your own things!"

These words were very effective, and the merchants lined up obediently.

Compared with not being able to make a lot of money, being able to get things back is not considered a loss of money.

It's just that when they looked at those golden men, everyone no longer had hot eyes.

The bolder ones even said cold words, such as "If you can't afford it, you pretend to be a rich man", "A barbarian is a barbarian", "Pretentious", etc., which kept spreading to the ears of Jinren. .

No matter how thick-skinned they are, they will inevitably change their colors at this moment.

Qin Hui looked at Liu Kai: "Mr. Liu, what is this for?"

Liu Kai clasped his fists and said, "At the order of the official family, move the Jin envoy into the Sifang Pavilion."

Maybe it was because of the scorching sun, Qin Hui just felt dizzy, as if he had sunstroke.

He looked at the back of the Jin people being taken away by the forbidden army, and kept recalling Zhang Tonggu's eyes in his mind,
"Wow……"

A mouthful of blood was spat out.
