The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 456
His gaze turned back to Shangjing City.

At this time, after a major cleansing in Shangjing City, the dust finally settled, and once everything was done, the emperor Wanyan Liang took the throne, and too many people were sacrificed.

Now, when Wanyan's royal family is almost killed, Wanyan Liang's country is finally stable.

At this time, Chai Gui, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, finally walked into the capital to negotiate with the Kingdom of Jin on behalf of the Song Dynasty.

Chai Gui was greeted personally by Da Honglu Hangxin of Honglu Temple in the Kingdom of Jin.

"Master Hang!" Chai Gui said to Hangxin with a smile, "Don't come here without any problems."

It wasn't the first time to go to the Kingdom of Jin as an envoy, but it was the first time that he felt so relaxed, and the victor felt really good.

"Master Chai, it's hard work to travel long distances!" Hangxin also said to Chai Gui with a smile.

"It will be much more convenient for the Kingdom of Jin to return the Sixteen States of Youyun in the future, and then go to the capital." Chai Gui said with a smile.

"Master Chai was joking. The Sixteen Youyun States were given to you before, but you couldn't keep it at all. Even if it was given to you, it would be useless." Hangxin said tit for tat, and the two met on the first day of the new year. , After a few polite words, the conversation was already full of gunpowder.

What HangSky said is not bad. Back then, the Song Dynasty cooperated with the Jin Kingdom to destroy the Liao Kingdom. According to the agreement, whoever conquered the land would belong to him. Of course, the Song Dynasty was not able to capture Youyun Sixteen at that time. state.

However, Wanyan Aguda, the Jin Taizu at that time, still gave the Sixteen States of Youyun to the Song Dynasty. Of course, the premise was that the Song Dynasty also gave the Kingdom of Jin a lot of money, which was equivalent to buying the Sixteen States of Youyun from the Kingdom of Jin.

It's a pity that the previous emperor, Zhao Ji, was too fatuous and incompetent, which caused serious corruption in the army of the Song Dynasty and poor combat effectiveness, so in the end, the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures were easily taken back by the Kingdom of Jin.

Now that HangSky is talking about this matter, it is actually satirizing the incompetence of the Song Dynasty. What is the use of giving you something, I want to get it back, and I can get it back at any time.

"We have an old saying in the Song Dynasty. It seems that Master Hangxin must have never heard it. Now I am passing this old saying to him. It is called 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Don't bully the young and poor!" Chai Gui said lightly.

"Haha, Mr. Chai is right. There seems to be an old saying in the Song Dynasty that the strong are respected. The Sixteen Youyun Prefectures are there. You can't take them back. You can't blame us for that." Hangxin said with a smile.

"That's right, the strong are respected. Now I am stationed in Shandong and Hebei with millions of troops. His Majesty the Emperor came in person. In the battle of Changbanqiao, 10 enemies were wiped out. It is clear at a glance which one is strong and which is weak!" Chai Gui Said lightly.

Naturally, Chai Gui was talking about the fact that Zhao Huanyu personally annihilated more than [-] soldiers of the Jin army. Hearing these words, Hangxin couldn't help but his face changed, and he frowned and said: " Master Chai, you..."

"Hey, Mr. Hang, our Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and peace has always been the most important thing. I tell you this, nothing more than to let your country realize its own situation. Don't be obsessed with obsession. It will harm others and yourself at that time. " Chai Gui interrupted what Hangxin said, and said lightly.

"Huh!" Hangxin snorted coldly. To be honest, he has not adjusted from the stage of the Song Dynasty's obsequiousness.

"Master Hang, can we start our negotiation?" Chai Gui said to HangSky.

Hangxin stared at Chai Gui in front of him, took a deep breath, and said: "Mr. Chai is exhausted from traveling and traveling. I think he is already very tired. Let's take a rest in the post house of Honglu Temple for a day. Let's go to the temple tomorrow. .”

Chai Gui didn't have any objections. Although he wanted to end the negotiation quickly, there was no rush for such a thing at this time.

Having nothing to say all night, Chai Gui just lived in Honglu Temple safely and securely.

But at this time, the palace of the Kingdom of Jin was not so quiet.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Song Dynasty have arrived, and they want to come here this time to ask for Youyun Sixteen States." Hangxin said to Wan Yanliang.

Wanyan nodded and said: "I know this, but they still really dare to think that after winning two battles, they want to take Youyun Sixteen States back with empty teeth. It's really a joke, if I just gave him the Youyun Sixteen States like this, so how will my Dajin Kingdom gain a foothold in front of the world in the future?"

Wan Yanchang had already returned at this time, because he had made great contributions in protecting the country this time, Wan Yanliang specially named him the Great General of the Protection of the Country and the Privy Council Envoy, which was equivalent to handing over the military and political power of the whole country to Wan Yanchang.

After two defeats, Wan Yanchang was inevitably disheartened. Hearing what Hangxin said at this time, he couldn't help but muttered, "What else did the envoys of the Song Dynasty say?"

"The envoys of the Song Dynasty also said that they have stationed millions of troops in Shandong and Hebei. That means, if we don't agree to return the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, we are going to grab it!" Said Hangxin softly.

"Take it hard, then we have to see if they have the ability!" Wan Yanliang said coldly.

"Your Majesty, in the battle of Changbanqiao, our army suffered heavy losses. Now that the Song Dynasty army is overwhelming the border, we still have to deal with it carefully." At this time, Xue Jin, the official censor of the Kingdom of Jin, stood up and said.

Xue Jin is a general of the Liao Kingdom, but at the same time he is also a Han Chinese. At this time, he stood up and said this, which immediately aroused Wan Yanliang's dissatisfaction.

"Xue Jin, Master Xue, are you Han?" Wan Yanliang said coldly.

Hearing what Wan Yanliang said, Xue Jin was taken aback, knelt down quickly, and said to Wan Yanliang: "Your Majesty, although I am a Han, I am absolutely loyal to our Dajin Kingdom!"

"Hmph, loyal, I can't see it, I guess you were loyal to the Liao Kingdom, but now you are still a courtier of my Dajin Kingdom." Wan Yanliang said coldly.

In a word, Wan Yanliang held Xue Jin speechless. In fact, Xue Jin really didn't mean to help Song Chao speak at this time, but as a speech officer, he must dare to speak at this time, but now After Wan Yanliang said this, he had no choice but to hold back all the words he wanted to say.

Because of Wan Yanliang's words, all the courtiers who originally wanted to stand up and persuade them were held back. Everyone also understood that Wan Yanliang's temper was a kind of refusal to listen to persuasion. At this time If you disobey him, the consequences will be disastrous.

"General, what do you think about this matter?" Wan Yanliang turned his head and asked Wan Yanchang. In his opinion, as a veteran in the army, Wan Yanchang would definitely oppose the peace negotiation at this time.
