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

Wanyan Sheng was sitting on the dragon chair, with a trace of unwillingness and confusion in his eyes. Ever since he learned that Zhao Yingluo, the supervisor of the Song Dynasty, had used thunderous means to quell the civil strife, his original plan to take advantage of the situation was completely in vain.

"This Zhao Yingluo was able to stabilize the situation in a short period of time, which is really beyond my expectation." Wanyan Sheng said to himself, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest of the dragon chair.

At this time, an old minister came forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Yingluo's talent and wisdom have long been legendary. She is not only proficient in poetry and songs, but also has outstanding talents in governing the country. I'm afraid our previous plan It needs to be reconsidered.”

Wanyan Sheng took a deep breath and nodded: "You are right, we can no longer act blindly. Pass on the order and send an envoy to the Song Dynasty. I want to get to know this Zhao Yingluo personally and see how capable she is. "

As Wanyan Sheng's son, Wanyan Zongyi has always been aware of his father's regret and unwillingness. He volunteered and was willing to go to the Song Dynasty as an envoy to find out what happened.

In the capital of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yingluo was not surprised by the arrival of the Jin envoy. She knew that Wanyan Sheng had always been eyeing the Song Dynasty, and this time he sent an envoy here just to find out the truth.

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

"Envoy Wanyan has come all the way, what can I learn from you?" Zhao Yingluo's voice was calm and powerful, giving people a feeling that should not be underestimated.

Wanyan Zongyi bowed and handed over Wanyan Sheng's handwritten letter. Zhao Yingluo took the letter, read it carefully and smiled: "His Majesty Wanyan expressed his respect for the Song Dynasty and his admiration for me in the letter, and I should accept it with a smile. I wonder what else the envoy has to do with this visit? "

Wanyan Zongyi's heart moved, and he felt Zhao Yingluo's keenness 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 Song Dynasty to send troops south, but the empress put down the civil strife with astonishing actions, causing my father's plan to fail. This time, firstly, In order to express my father's respect and friendly wishes to the queen, and secondly, I hope to personally understand the queen's philosophy of governing the country so that the two countries can coexist peacefully in the future."

Zhao Yingluo nodded lightly after hearing the words: "What the envoy said is true. I also hope to establish friendly relations with the Kingdom of Jin and jointly maintain peace and stability in the border areas. As for my philosophy of governing the country, in short, it is 'people-oriented' We should govern the country based on morality'. Only by allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment and the culture to prosper can the country be truly strong."

After hearing this, Wanyan Zongyi was shocked. He took a deep look at Zhao Yingluo and then solemnly saluted: "Your Majesty is admirable for her far-sightedness and foresight. If my father could learn about your Majesty's philosophy of governing the country, he would definitely reconsider it. relations between the two countries.”

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

Deep in the Jin Kingdom's palace, Wanyan Sheng urgently summoned ministers to discuss state affairs. His expression was solemn, and his brows revealed his deep concern for the Southern Song Dynasty.

"My dear friends," Wanyan Sheng said in a deep voice, "The Song Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger under Zhao Yingluo's governance. We have repeatedly planned to go south but failed to do so. Now, what should we do?"

An old minister took a step forward, stroking his beard and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Yingluo is extremely talented and incomparable to ordinary women. If we continue to attack by force, we are afraid that we will lose our troops and generals, and the gain will not be worth the loss."

Wanyan Sheng frowned: "In your opinion, how should we respond?" The veteran thought for a moment and suggested: "Your Majesty, I think we can change our strategy and send envoys to the Song Dynasty in the name of peace talks to secretly observe Zhao Yingluo's behavior. methods of governing the country and seeking a way for the two countries to coexist peacefully.”

Wanyan Sheng's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he nodded in praise: "This is a wonderful plan! Then send an envoy to the Song Dynasty, with peace as the most important thing, to explore Zhao Yingluo's true identity."

In the Song Dynasty Palace, Zhao Yingluo also summoned a group of close ministers to discuss state affairs. She looked calm, and there was a sense of determination and wisdom between her brows.

"My lords," Zhao Yingluo said softly, "The Kingdom of Jin has frequently mobilized troops and horses recently, and it seems that it intends to go south. How should we respond?"

A young general stepped forward and made an impassioned speech: "Your Majesty, the Jin Kingdom is ambitious and has repeatedly invaded our borders. I am willing to lead troops to the borders and defend the Song Dynasty to the death!"

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

Another civil servant took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "What you said is absolutely true. I suggest that we strengthen friendly exchanges with neighboring countries and jointly build a peaceful and stable international environment."

Zhao Yingluo nodded in agreement: "This is a good plan! We must not only strengthen diplomatic relations, but also focus on domestic people's livelihood construction, so that people can live and work in peace and contentment, so that the country can have long-term peace and stability."

At this moment, a guard came to report: "I would like to inform you that the Kingdom of Jin has sent an envoy to seek peace."

Zhao Yingluo's eyes flashed with a sparkle, and she said with a smile: "Oh? The envoy from the Kingdom of Jin came to sue for peace? This is a new thing. Send the order, warmly entertain the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin, and arrange a palace banquet. I will meet in person. Meet this messenger."

At the palace banquet, the Jin envoy had a friendly exchange with Zhao Yingluo. Although both sides have their own thoughts, they both show their desire for peace and respect for each other's culture. This banquet sowed the seeds of hope for peaceful coexistence between the two countries.

After Wanyan Sheng learned about the meeting between the envoy and Zhao Yingluo, he secretly admired this woman's wisdom and courage. 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 Song Dynasty.

Although the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom was still complicated and changeable, with the joint efforts of these two monarchs, the tension between the two countries gradually eased, and the concepts of peace and friendship began to take root in the hearts of the people of the two countries.

As relations between the two countries eased, exchanges between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty became increasingly frequent. Envoys shuttled between the two countries, conveying messages of friendship and peace. Merchants from the two countries also began to trade with each other, making the economies of both countries prosperous.

In this friendly atmosphere, Wanyan Sheng once again sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty. This time he brought 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.
