On the second day, Wanyan Aguda convened a meeting with Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Nianhan and others to study the issue of the ownership of the sixteen states of Youyan. Wanyan Aguda expressed his attitude and decided to return the sixteen states of Youyan to the Song Dynasty. As expected, Wanyan Aguda's idea was opposed by Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Nianhan and others; especially young generals such as Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Nianhan, the opposition was particularly strong.
Wanyan Aguda patiently explained that Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Nianhan and other young generals just did not agree to return the Sixteen States of Youyan to the Song Dynasty.
Wanyan Zongwang said: "Father, the Youyan area has been occupied by our country, and it belongs to our country of Dajin. It absolutely cannot be returned to the Southern Dynasty. In my opinion, Zhuozhou and Yizhou are the dividing lines between the Jin and Song Dynasties, and the whole country in the north is It belongs to Dajin, and the south belongs to Southern Dynasty."
Wanyan Nianhan continued: "I completely agree. The Youyan region must not be returned to the Southern Dynasty."
Wanyan Aguda had been explaining for a long time, but Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Nianhan still disagreed, and advocated Zhuozhou and Yizhou as the boundaries of the Jin and Song Dynasties. This was equivalent to overturning the terms of the maritime covenant between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. Wanyan Aguda finally couldn't help but get angry and said loudly: "The Song Dynasty and I made an oath to each other. After we join forces to conquer the Liao Dynasty, the sixteen states of Youyan will belong to the Song Dynasty. I can't break my promise. Since you are all against me Return the Sixteen States of Youyan to the Song Dynasty. Well, now that I am alive, I have the final say, and that is to return the Sixteen States of Youyan to the Song Dynasty. In the future, after I die, it is up to you whether you want to rob or seize it. generation!"
After saying that, Wanyan Aguda stood up, left the dragon chair, and walked away, leaving behind Wanyan Wu Qingmai, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Nianhan and others in the hall.
Wanyan Zongwang turned his head to look at Wanyan Wu begging for money, and said with full of grievance: "Uncle, look, father, we can do this?! We are also doing this for Dajin! Why did father speak so harshly!"
Only Wanyan Zongwang dared and could say these words. If it were anyone else, it would be treason. Wanyan Wu Qimai couldn't speak too directly. He just smiled and said to Wanyan Zongwang: "The great emperor has the principles of the great emperor. The main reason is that he cannot violate the covenant signed by the Jin and Song Dynasties, and he cannot break his promise to the Southern Dynasty. We, as ministers, must understand the difficulties of the great emperor. Under the current circumstances, we, as ministers, will do whatever the great emperor says; let us discuss future matters in the future."
Wanyan Nianhan said angrily: "The Youyan that we worked so hard, shed blood and sweat to kill was given to the Southern Dynasty in vain?"
"Of course it's impossible to give it away for free!" Wanyan Wu begged to buy: "If the Southern Dynasty wants to return to the territory of the sixteen states of Youyan, they must either come to rob or buy it. Isn't it true that the Southern Dynasty's Chen Bing is under Youzhou City, so he can come and fight Well!"
Wanyan Nianhan interrupted: "The soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty retreated overnight."
"They just didn't retreat, and they took Youzhou away?" Wanyan Wu Qimai asked and said, "Xiao Qian and Han Ao also came and took it away. Did they take it away? They couldn't take it away! The Khitan couldn't take it away. The Southern Dynasty cannot take it away! Now, since the Great Emperor has decided to return the Sixteen Provinces of Youyan to the Southern Dynasty, he will return it. As for how to return it? The Great Emperor has not said."
Wanyan Zongwang asked: "What does the emperor's uncle mean?"
Wanyan Wu Qimai replied: "My nephews, everything must be done strategically. From now on, in front of the emperor, you can no longer say that you will not return the territory of Youyan's sixteen states. What you want to say is what will the Southern Dynasty do?" The price is to take back the sixteen states of Youyan. In the opinion of the uncle, Zongwang still needs to go to the emperor to ask the emperor to come back and discuss the matter of Youyan. After the emperor comes, Nianhan proposes that the Southern Dynasty use gold and silk to redeem Youyan. Yan Sixteen States.”
After hearing this, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Nianhan, although they were reluctant, had no choice but to do so when Wanyan Aguda insisted on returning the sixteen states of Youyan to the Song Dynasty.
Wanyan Zongwang then got up, left the hall, and went to ask Wanyan Agu to fight.
Wanyan Zongwang entered the side hall, where Wanyan Aguda was resting.
Wanyan Zongwang bowed to Wanyan Agu, bent down and said, "My son will pay homage to my father."
Wanyan Aguda was still resentful and angry. He glanced at Wanyan Zongwang and said angrily: "You just focus on discussing matters. What are you doing here to see me?! No matter what the matter is, you can decide it!"
Wanyan Zongwang chuckled and said, "Dad, don't be emotional! Let's discuss it carefully if anything happens."
"Didn't I discuss it carefully with you?" Wanyan Aguda asked in reply: "I patiently told you a lot of truths, but you just didn't listen! I approve of the alliance with the Southern Dynasty; the Southern Dynasty also There is nothing wrong with us, so why should we break the contract and rebel against the alliance? In that case, wouldn’t Dajin have broken its promise to the Southern Dynasty? Where can I put my face?”
"Father is right!" Wanyan Zongwang said: "It's just that Father was furious and walked away with his sleeves, which seems to be a bit too much. When the court is discussing matters, we naturally have to express our opinions and views. Father, calm down, you After leaving, we also reviewed our behavior and found that there was indeed something inappropriate; therefore, the emperor's uncle and Nianhan asked me to respectfully invite my father to return to the main hall in the future to discuss the return of the Sixteen Provinces of Youyan to the Southern Dynasty."
When Wanyan Agu heard what Wanyan Zongwang said, his anger disappeared immediately, and he asked Wanyan Zongwang in a pleasant manner: "So they all agree to return the Sixteen States of Youyan to the Southern Dynasty?"
Wanyan Zongwang nodded and replied: "Yes, Father."
"That's right!" Wanyan Agu said: "Since we have signed a covenant, we still have to abide by the covenant. Let's go and discuss the affairs of the sixteen Youyan states."
Immediately, Wanyan Zongwang accompanied Wanyan Aguda to the main hall again and sat on the dragon chair.
In the main hall, Wanyan Nianhan and other ministers and generals hurriedly stood up to watch Wanyan Aguda pay homage.
Wanyan Aguda waved his hands and said, "No courtesy! Everyone, please take a seat!"
Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Nianhan and other ministers and generals took their seats one after another.
Wanyan Aguda first glanced at the emperor's brother Wanyan Wu who had been sitting still, begging to buy. Then he glanced at the others and said, "Just now Zong Wang came to invite me and said that he would discuss the matter of Youyan Liuliu again." The matter of returning the state to the Southern Dynasty. According to Zong Wang, everyone agrees to return the sixteen states of Youyan to the Southern Dynasty. Everyone, tell me, is this true? "
All the ministers and generals replied in unison: "Yes! Great Emperor, we agree to return the sixteen states of Youyan to the Southern Dynasty."
Wanyan Aguda was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Good! Very good! Very good! We have signed an alliance with the Southern Dynasty. The Southern Dynasty is a thousand-year-old country with prosperous culture. The two countries of Jin and Song Dynasty maintain peaceful and friendly relations. It is also very beneficial to the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, the sixteen states of Youyan must be returned to the Southern Dynasty in accordance with the provisions of the covenant."
Wanyan Wu Qimai, who was sitting next to him, took over and said: "Brother Huang is absolutely right. Just now, I also told Zong Wang and all the ministers and generals that countries must abide by the covenants they signed with each other. Under the persuasion of this king, all ministers and generals agreed to return the sixteen states of Youyan to the Southern Dynasty, but..."
"Just what?" Wanyan Aguda asked as he stared at Wanyan Wu begging for money.
Before Wanyan Wu could answer, Wanyan Nianhan suddenly stood up and said loudly: "It's just that the Southern Dynasty has to pay for it! After all, we conquered the Sixteenth State of Youyan. In the past, the Khitan occupied the Southern Dynasty The Southern Dynasty even sent gold and silk to the Khitan for the Sixteen Youyan Prefectures; now that we have taken the Sixteen Youyan Prefectures from the Khitan and want to return them to the Southern Dynasty, shouldn’t the Southern Dynasty pay for Dajin?”
"Of course!" Wanyan Aguda said: "I never said at any time that I would return the Sixteenth Province of Youyan to the Southern Dynasty for nothing. Nianhan is right. On the issue of returning the Sixteenth Province of Youyan, we still have to negotiate with the Southern Dynasty. Carry out detailed negotiations and ask them to pay for the redemption of the Sixteen States of Youyan. As for the specific amount, you can discuss it. At the very least, it cannot be less than the amount sent to the Khitan by the Southern Dynasty. "
Wanyan Nianhan replied loudly: "The Emperor said yes."
Wanyan Aguda waved his hand and said, "Nianhan, please sit down!"
After hearing this, Wanyan Nianhan sat back in his seat.
Wanyan Aguda turned to look at Wanyan Wu begging for money and said: "In the matter of returning the Sixteenth Province of Youyan to the Southern Dynasty, Prince Lao must step in to preside over it. Zongwang Nianhan and the others are still young and charge into battle. If negotiations fail, I will rest assured that the prince will step in to preside over the negotiations."
Wanyan Wu Qingbuy's status as the crown prince was obviously higher than that of Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Nianhan and others. Wanyan Aguda also had great respect for Wanyan Wu's begging. Wanyan Wu did not dare to blatantly show off in front of Wanyan Aguda, so he quickly stood up, bowed down and replied: "Brother, don't worry, I will try my best."
Wanyan Agu nodded and said, "Brother, please have a seat. No need to be polite."
After hearing this, Wanyan Wu begged to sit down.
Wanyan Aguda continued: "It is impossible not to exert some pressure on the Southern Dynasties. In the negotiations with the Southern Dynasties, Zongwang and Nianhan also participated, and they could put forward strong demands during the negotiations, and even proposed a solution by force. Of course, the solution by force is just talk, not provoking a war with the Southern Dynasty. With both hard and soft tactics, the Southern Dynasty will give in, and will transfer the gold and silk sent to Khitan to Dajin."
Wanyan Wu Qimai replied: "Brother Huang is right. I will obey the imperial edict."
Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Nianhan and others also stood up and replied loudly: "I will obey the imperial edict."
Wanyan Aguda was extremely satisfied and nodded with a smile. Beside, Wanyan Wu begged to say: "As for the negotiation with the Southern Dynasty mission, Zongwang and Nianhan will follow my arrangements. I will inform you at any time what to do.
Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Nianhan replied loudly: "Yes, my nephew will obey the king's order!"
Wanyan Wu Qimai nodded frequently.
Wanyan Aguda also nodded and said loudly: "Okay! This matter is settled like this. If there is any situation, please report it at any time."
Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Nianhan and others replied loudly: "Yes! Great Emperor."
The court meeting in the Kingdom of Jin ended immediately, and Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan Nianhan, and Wanyan Zongwang each returned to their homes to prepare for negotiations with the envoy led by Zhao Liangsi of the Song Dynasty.
