Northern Song Dynasty: Counterattack and became emperor after the Jingkang Revolution

Chapter 10 Negotiation Deputy Zhao Yingluo

When Lu Haowen heard this, his heart dropped. He sighed heavily, "In that case, please trouble Your Highness the Princess. If this happens, the Song Dynasty will be very lucky, and I will be grateful."

After leaving Lu Haowen's study, Zhao Yingluo raised her head and glanced at the blue sky, her eyes gradually becoming firm and profound.

She knew that the respite in the past few years meant that the fate of the two countries and the fate of the two countries in history began to diverge and move in a new direction.

Thousands of miles away in Lin'an, Zhao Gou was also thinking about the same problem.

After Zhao Gou led the elite of the Song Dynasty to move south, he soon settled in Lin'an. Because Zongze was in charge of Kaifeng, he, the emperor, was very stable in the new palace in Lin'an City.

It was easy for the Jin people to capture Kaifeng. After all, there was only the Yellow River as a barrier. But if they wanted to capture Lin'an, they had to cross the hurdle of Zongze first and then cross the Yangtze River thousands of miles away.

Therefore, as long as Zongze is given sufficient support, his throne will be secure.

After ten days, Lu Haowen's Zazi was transferred to the hands of the Right Prime Minister Huang Qianshan.

Who is Huang Qianshan?As soon as Lu Haowen got the Zhazi, which was a proper surrender to Jin, Huang Qianshan regarded it as a treasure and sent it to Zhao Gou.

Above the main hall, Zhao Gou sat upright. After reading the memorial on the letter again, he raised his eyes and said, "The Jin people have made a request to open a discussion forum. What do you think of it?"

Huang Qianshan glanced at Li Gang, the left prime minister, with some pride, and said, "Your Majesty, I think that this opening of discussion will be beneficial to both the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom. The Song Dynasty will exchange the salt and iron that the Jin people urgently need for war horses to strengthen the Song Dynasty. At the same time, it can also strengthen the Song Dynasty. Why not usher in peace between Song and Jin?"

Privy Councilor Wang Boyan spoke up and seconded the proposal.

However, the upright old boy Li Gang gave the two of them a cold look, and then said righteously, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has not yet returned to Tokyo. The second emperor and tens of thousands of palace officials are still in the hands of the Jin people. We, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, are still in the hands of the Jin people." It's an enemy country, so how can we agree to open a discussion with the Jin people?"

The argument between the three people in the court soon aroused discussion among the ministers. For a while, the war faction, the surrender faction, and the centrist faction were noisy, turning the serious court into a vegetable market.

Zhao Gou felt like his head was going to split. Why was this Li Gang thinking about fighting?Isn’t it good to live in peaceful coexistence?Why do we have to start another war?Now the Jin Kingdom has been forced by the Song Dynasty, where the army and the people are united and share the same hatred of the enemy to seek an open forum. This is a victory for the Song Dynasty.

Since the Kingdom of Jin has shown goodwill, we, the Song Dynasty, should naturally have the courtesy of going to the country. How can we lose a big thing for a small thing?

However, Li Gang didn't know that there were only a few people in the court who were with him, "Your Majesty! Now that the situation of the Song Dynasty is stable, the people of Hebei are returning to their hearts, and there is an old general stationed in Tokyo, the time, place and people are conducive to me. In the Song Dynasty, it was time to send elite troops and generals to cross the Yellow River north, regain the land in Hebei, and rescue the two emperors from danger, so as to live up to Emperor Taizu's ambition."

"Like left prime minister Huang Qianshan and other cowardly people, who only want to seek peace with grievances, isn't it the ambition of the Jin Kingdom and the destruction of the majesty of the Song Dynasty? This is a fallacy that harms the country! I ask your Majesty to return the capital to Tokyo to inspire the hearts of the people in the world and open up the world. I hope Your Majesty will think twice about this matter."

When Huang Qianshan saw his old enemy Li Gang making an impassioned speech, saying that he was worthless, he was so angry that his every aperture smoked and his whole body burned.

"Li Gang! How dare you force His Majesty to go to Tokyo? If the Jin people go south again and the Battle of Jingkang happens again, you will be a sinner of the Song Dynasty. Even if you are cut into pieces by a thousand swords, it will not be an exaggeration."

Hearing Huang Qianshan's words, Zhao Gou couldn't help but tremble. He can't go to Tokyo!Must not go!Since Li Gang is willing to go, then send him there, and save him from always talking about regaining Hebei in front of him. "What Huang Qing said is true. Nowadays, most of the imperial family members of the Song Dynasty have been taken captive. If I make another mistake, the country of the Song Dynasty will lose its cornerstone. Since you want to resist the Jin Dynasty so much, I will satisfy you and make you the Prime Minister. Jiedushi, deputy commander of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, assists Zongze in guarding Kaifeng."

"Order, appoint Fu Yu as the peace envoy of Dajintong, and Wang Lun as the deputy envoy, go to the Kingdom of Jin to discuss the opening of the market."

……

Li Gang resigned as prime minister and went to Kaifeng. The other main war factions in the court also dismissed their official posts. There was an uproar in the entire Lin'an court and the public.

Zhao Yingluo didn't care about what happened in Lin'an. After all, she never expected any surprises from her brother who was bent on seeking peace.

Sure enough, ten days later, Zhao Gou's edict arrived in Tokyo. What puzzled Lu Haowen was that General Zong didn't get angry after seeing the edict. Instead, he happily agreed.He also specifically asked Fu Yu to be treated well and to equip him with deputies to prepare for negotiations with the Jin people.

What surprised him most was that among the deputies, there was actually Her Royal Highness the Princess!
After Fu Yu arrived in Kaifeng City, he was very satisfied with Zongze's hospitality. In order to complete the task early and return to Lin'an, he just hastily prepared some negotiation conditions and met with the Jin envoy at the Ministry of Rites on the third day to discuss the opening of the market. matters.

But what made him depressed was that Zongze actually took it upon himself to appoint a young junior as his deputy!

【Ministry of Etiquette】

Zongze is sitting in the middle, and on the left is the Song Dynasty negotiation team, consisting of Fu Yu, Wang Lun, Lu Haowen and Zhao Yingluo, who is disguised as a man.On the left are envoys from the Kingdom of Jin. Two of them, Zhao Yingluo, had met in a restaurant. The other two were Wanyan Zongzhe and Han Fang, the Minister of Rites.

"My Majesty, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, cares about the people of the two countries, so he wants to open a discussion. The purpose of his visit has been made clear. If the Song Dynasty refuses, it will be war. Our cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin will inevitably send troops south. Even if the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is in Lin'an, he will not It must be like the two emperors in the north."

Wanyan Zongzhe's aggressive tone didn't sound like negotiating, but rather like giving an order.

Zongze, who had a hot temper, was about to get angry when he heard this, but was stopped by Zhao Yingluo's look.

Fu Yu quickly apologized and said with a smile, "Your Majesty also approves of opening up a discussion forum to exchange information, so that the people of the two countries will be very lucky!"

Seeing him being so flattering, Zhao Yingluo felt 1 butterflies galloping in her heart, and her disgusting mother opened the door to her. She was so disgusting.

Zhao Gou had such ministers around him. No wonder he couldn't stand up. If he sent such a person as a negotiator, he might have sold out the interests of the entire Song Dynasty.

"Has His Highness Zong Zhe suffered from memory confusion? Now the people's rebels of the Song Dynasty in Hebei are everywhere. General Zong Ze has defeated the invasion of the Jin Kingdom several times. Now Li Gang has led an army of [-] to Tokyo City. If a war breaks out, My mighty army will immediately cross the Yellow River north to capture the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. Even if the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom is far away in Shangjing, our army will definitely break through the city and capture it."

"Now, I, the Great Song Dynasty, consider that the people of the Jin Kingdom wear animal skins because there is no silk and satin, and eat raw meat because there is no iron cooking utensils, so I agree to open a market."

Zhao Yingluo's short sentence directly compared the Jin people to beasts that eat raw meat. Wanyan Zong almost fainted from anger.
