In the dark room.
Wanyan Aguda looked at Xu Guanzhong who was sitting in the cell, Ma Ling who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and Shi Qian who was looking for "lice" on his body, and frowned.
It is not that there are no Song people in Liaodong, and it is not that Wanyan Aguda has never seen Song people. The Song country has developed commerce, and caravans are everywhere. In the past, caravans even went to the white mountains and black waters to find the Jurchen tribe, and exchanged cloth, tea, iron pots, and porcelain. Ginseng, mink, famous horse, northern pearl, Junying, beeswax.
In Wanyan Aguda's eyes, the people of the Song Dynasty were all cowardly and greedy people who were willing to sell anything for profit, even the country.
"Are they always like this this month?"
Wanyan Aguda asked the jailer beside him.
"Yes, it's always been like this. That gentleman also asked for a few more books, saying he had nothing to do and wanted to read them."
replied the jailer.
"You sure have some guts!"
Wanyan Agu nodded and left.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next? Is this still the case?"
Wanyan Gao looked at Wanyan Aguda and asked.
"It's not necessary. This trick is useless. Let's hold a banquet today and bring these three people out!"
Wanyan Agu shook his head and said that one month of prison life in a foreign country should have frightened these three people to death, but the situation in front of them was completely the opposite.
"Mr. Xu, His Majesty the Emperor invites you!"
Wanyan Gao walked into the cell, looked at the three people indifferently in front of him, and finally his eyes fell on Xu Guanzhong.
"Is this the way of hospitality in the Kingdom of Jin? I came all the way here with my credentials, but you threw me into jail. If you don't give me an explanation, I won't go out. If the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin wants to see you, then Just in the "palace"."
Xu Guanzhong pointed to the cell and said.
"Mr. Xu, didn't you find out your identity? There is no record of your entry into the pass. This is your fault! Now that I, Emperor Dajin, have come from Huining Mansion to Huanglong Mansion, I can be considered sincere!"
Wanyan Gao said.
"I would like to take the pass, but it's a pity that the Liao Kingdom won't let me. If I take the pass, I might not be able to reach Liaodong!"
Xu Guanzhong said with a smile that the relationship between the Liao State and the Jin State was now in a state of turmoil and they were fighting to the death. How could they let the envoys of the Song Dynasty contact the Jin State?
"Sir please!"
Wanyan Gao said with a smile.
Xu Guanzhong no longer hesitated. It was enough to express his attitude. If he went too far, it would be bad.
Xu Guanzhong was led by Wanyan Gao all the way to a palace. A majestic middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a black heavy armor, was sitting on the main seat. The same black-armored Jurchens were sitting on the left and right sides of the palace.
"Xu Guanzhong, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, met with the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty!"
Xu Guanzhong smiled and said with a fist in his arms.
"Bold, you don't kneel down when you see me, the Great Jin Emperor!"
Wanyan Wu Qimai pointed at Xu Guanzhong and roared with murderous intent. As soon as the voice came out, swordsmen and axemen filed out from both sides of the hall.
"Haha, is this the way of hospitality in the Kingdom of Jin? First put in a cell, and then throw a cup as a sign of honor?"
Xu Guanzhong looked at Wanyan Agu and opened his mouth.
Wanyan Agu waved his hand, and the soldier retreated.
"It's rare to see a Southerner as brave as Mr. Xu!"
Wanyan Agu opened his mouth and said.
"Why should I be afraid?"
Xu Guanzhong smiled.
"Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of. Although our Kingdom of Jin has just been established, we are still willing to communicate with everyone."
Wanyan Agu spoke very implicitly, probably meaning that the Jurchens were not barbarians and there was no need to be so afraid.
Xu Guanzhong smiled and took out the prepared credentials and handed it to the waiter beside him, who handed it to Wanyan Aguda.
Wanyan Aguda was obviously excited when he saw the letter of credence. This was his first official diplomatic letter of credence since the founding of the Jin Kingdom.
Wanyan Agu opened it and frowned.
"Is this the attitude of your Song country?"
Wanyan Aguda threw the credential on the table in front of him, looked at Xu Guanzhong and said coldly, he was very dissatisfied with the credential, and Song Dynasty's attitude made him a little annoyed.
"I haven't read the credentials!"
Xu Guanzhong shook his head.
"Our Kingdom of Jin is a big country. Do you regard me as a small foreign country? Or a subordinate vassal country?"
Wanyan Aguda said with murderous intent in his eyes, the tone of the Song Dynasty in this book of nationality was condescending, as if an emperor looked at a local vassal king.
The Jurchen nobles present looked at Xu Guanzhong with unkind expressions. Although the Jurchen country had just been established and the Jurchen inheritance was not far away, the Jurchen country could beat the Liao country and make them run away, while the so-called Great Song Dynasty was pinned to the ground and beaten by the Liao country.
"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Jin has been in existence for less than five years, so the gift of a vassal king is enough."
Xu Guanzhong said.
"How dare you underestimate me, Daijin!"
Wanyan Agu slapped the table and roared angrily, and the others all drew out their scimitars from their waists.
"If you treat me with the courtesy of an emperor, can your majesty really accept it calmly?"
Xu Guanzhong looked at Wanyan Aguda. After a period of observation, he found that the eyes of the majestic man in front of him often changed. Although hidden, he was still caught. This shows that Wanyan Aguda is a scheming person. This kind of person is the most Suspicious, it would be really suspicious if the Song Dynasty, which had no contact with him, suddenly gave the Jin Kingdom extremely high treatment.
"Haha, give me a seat!"
Wanyan Agu laughed and waved Xu Guanzhong to take a seat, while Ma Ling and Shi Qian stood behind Xu Guanzhong.
"What official position did Mr. Xu hold in the Song Dynasty?"
Wanyan Aguda looked at Xu Guanzhong and smiled.
"I have won the martial arts examination, and now I am a fifth-grade Zhongsan doctor!"
Xu Guanzhong replied.
"Fifth rank? The person who contacted me last time was talking about Tong Guan, the privy envoy from the first rank! I heard that Tong Guan had been on a mission to the Liao Kingdom before, why didn't he come to our Jin Kingdom?"
Wanyan Aguda looked at Xu Guanzhong and said, the fifth-rank official was not a high official. He originally thought that the one who came was Tong Guan.
"That was in the past. Now Privy Council Tong is in charge of the Privy Council and is in charge of the mobilization of soldiers and horses in the world. It is impossible to visit as an envoy! Your Majesty should know that the Liao Kingdom is blocking the Song and Jin Dynasties, so it is not easy to come here."
Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said, before Tong Guan went to Liao State as an envoy, he was just a military inspector and a casual official, but now he is an envoy to the Privy Council.
"What about what I want?"
Wanyan Aguda did not bother with Tong Guan's question. Tong Guan was now the number one figure in the Song Dynasty's military circles, and it was indeed impossible for him to be an envoy, so he looked at Xu Guanzhong and continued to ask.
"All the books were taken away by this superior officer. Your Majesty should have received them. As for the woman, it was a long journey and she unfortunately died of illness halfway!"
Xu Guanzhong replied.
"I'm very curious, how did Mr. Xu hide from my border officers and get all the way to Huanglong Mansion?"
When Wanyan Aguda asked about the biggest doubt in his heart, which was also his biggest concern, the border defense of the Kingdom of Jin would not be so miserable.
"It's nothing. I took the sea route. After crossing the Bohai Sea, I arrived in Liaodong."
Xu Guanzhong replied.
"It turned out to be a sea route? I heard that pirates are rampant on the Bohai Sea now. Have they ever disturbed the coast of the Song Dynasty?"
When he heard about the sea route, Wanyan Aguda's eyes flashed with murderous intent. In Suzhou and Fuzhou in Liaodong, many warriors were killed and injured. Wanyan Orugu even died in Suzhou in battle. It was rumored that all this was done by Bohai pirates.
My business trip schedule has been disrupted recently. I will adjust it back as soon as possible.
