The subsequent negotiations went much smoother. After Zhao Liangsi, Cai You and others met Wanyan Wu to beg for money, the two parties took their seats and began negotiations.
Wanyan Wu Qimai first said: "As for the annual coins sent to our country, that amount must be determined. What needs to be determined now is the payment time."
On the court's side, Zhao Liangsi replied: "Originally, our country could not accept the amount of annual coins sent to your country; but considering that Song and Jin are allies, your country did pay a price when it captured the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyan. Therefore, I accept the transfer of Sui coins and the amount of the transfer."
Wanyan Wu begged: "Very good, let's talk about the payment time now. When will your country pay the above-mentioned annual coins to our country?"
Zhao Liangsi said: "Second King, what we need to discuss now is how your country will return the sixteen states of Youyan and the time for the return. Only after this issue is determined can we discuss the time for payment of annual coins."
Wanyan Wu begged and said: "Returning the Sixteenth State of Youyan is not a problem. As long as you send the money, you will return it to the Sixteenth State of Youyan immediately."
Zhao Liangsi and Cai You looked at each other. Cai You nodded. Zhao Liangsi then said: "There is no problem in paying the annual coins. I will pay your country the full amount immediately within ten days."
Wanyan Wu begged to buy: "Even so, the sixteen states of Youyan will be returned to your country in ten days."
The negotiations went very smoothly without any setbacks. Zhao Liangsi, Cai You and others then said goodbye to Wanyan Wu Qimai and others and returned to their residence.
Cai You and Zhao Liangsi reported the results of the negotiations to Tong Guan and Emperor Huizong respectively.
Tong Guan was overjoyed when he got his reward, and saw that a hat with a different surname was about to be put on his head. Emperor Huizong was even more delighted when he got his reward. The territory of Youyan's Sixteen Prefectures has been obsessed with it since Emperor Taizu, and he worked desperately to regain it. Unexpectedly, the mighty Youyan's homeland, Taizu and Taizong, were able to recover it, and they recovered it in their own hands. What an honor and achievement.
Emperor Huizong hurriedly summoned Wang Fu, Cai Jing and others, and ordered them to open the court's special treasury and transport the full amount of annual coins to the Kingdom of Jin. Wang Fu and Cai Jing got the order and took out the silver and silk that had been prepared to redeem the sixteen states of Youyan from the imperial treasury. This special treasury was set up by Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. At the beginning, Emperor Taizu planned to use redemption to regain the sixteen states of Youyan, so he set up this special treasury and deposited a certain amount of silver every year. , silk, in preparation for redeeming the sixteen states of Youyan when conditions and circumstances permit. Now, let Huizong Zhao Ji use it.
When the silver and silk were escorted to Xiongzhou, Tong Guan came forward in person and accompanied them to Youzhou. He wanted to personally sign the contract for the recovery of the sixteen Youyan states and to personally recover the sixteen Youyan states.
Tong Guan led more than a thousand imperial guardsmen to visit Youzhou in person, and was warmly welcomed by Wanyan Wu Qimai and others. Immediately, the two parties delivered the silver and silk and began the next negotiation. At this time, there was a problem with the negotiation.
During the negotiation, Wanyan Wu begged to buy and said to Tong Guan: "Privy Tong, your country has delivered the full amount of silver and silk, and our country will also return the territory of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyan as agreed; however, Emperor Zuo Aguo of Liao Tian has not yet Captured, according to investigation, Aguo has been fleeing in Yunshuo and other states for a generation. Our country still needs to use Yunzhou and other places as a stronghold to send troops and horses to capture Emperor Tianzuo. Therefore, it can be delivered to Youshun Ruji and other six states of Yanjing first. County, Yunshuo Weiying and other ten states will return it immediately after capturing Emperor Tianzuo."
Tong Guan was dumbfounded when he heard this. This was completely different from what he had said before. This was equivalent to a discount on the annual coins required to return the sixteen states of Youyun, but when he returned it, he only returned the six states and twelve counties of Yanjing. In this case, the court It's a loss for those who have an old nose.
Immediately, Tong Guan expressed his disagreement and demanded that the Jin Kingdom return the entire territory of the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures at once as agreed.
Wanyan Wu Qimai directly rejected Tong Guan's request, and then made an even more unreasonable request. Wanyan Wu begged the Song Dynasty to pay one million guan in lieu of taxes for the twelve counties of Yanjing. Zhao Liangsi couldn't hold it anymore, stood up suddenly, and said: "Two kings, is this too much? Since ancient times, how can there be any separation of local taxes? Since the twelve counties of Yanjing were returned to our country, they belong to our country. You What kind of taxes does the country collect?”
Wanyan Wu showed his rogue face by begging for money, and said to Zhao Liangsi and other representatives of the Song Dynasty: "Dajin has successfully attacked Yan, and now we will exchange the twelve counties of Yanjing to your country, regardless of whether your country wants three to five million yuan." Yes, for your country to refuse even a million dollars, it doesn’t show the demeanor of a big country.”
Tong Guan thought that everything was settled, and he just came to show off his power and take back the Sixteen Youyan Prefectures in a glorious manner. Unexpectedly, the agreed Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun became the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanjing. County, and the two states of Zhuoyi were not conquered by the Jin Kingdom. They were surrendered to the Song Dynasty by Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the Ever-Victorious Army of the Liao Kingdom, and they had nothing to do with the people of the Jin Kingdom. What's even worse is that after the six prefectures and twelve counties of Yanjing were returned to the imperial court, the Jin Kingdom still wanted to collect taxes from the six prefectures and twelve counties of Yanjing. This was simply too bullying. At that time, Tong Guan, as the chief representative of the Song Dynasty and a dignified privy envoy, was so angry that his beard, which none of the other eunuchs had but him, trembled.
Seeing that 200,000 taels of silver and 400,000 bolts of silk were delivered to the Kingdom of Jin, the Kingdom of Jin came up with this trick, which Tong Guan could not accept no matter what. He still wanted to be a king with a different surname. If he only regained Yan Aren’t the achievements of the six prefectures and twelve counties in Beijing greatly compromised? It’s not certain whether that Wang with a different surname is worthy of being fooled or not.
Seeing that Wanyan Wu was looking like a scoundrel, Tong Guan stood up angrily, said nothing, and left angrily. Zhao Liangsi, Cai You and other Song Dynasty officials also hurriedly got up and followed Tong Guan out of the official residence where Wanyan Wu was begging to buy.
After returning to the library, Tong Guanyu was still angry and wanted to rush back to Xiongzhou to organize troops and horses to attack Youzhou together with Wang Zhen who was stationed in Liangxiang.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Liangsi and Cai You hurriedly advised Tong Guandao: "Privy Tong, a little impatience will mess up the big plan. At the moment, be patient for the time being and send people back to the capital to see the Holy One urgently to ask for His Majesty's imperial edict, and then take corresponding countermeasures."
Zhao Liangsi, Cai You and others persuaded Tong Guan to calm down. Not long ago, he commanded more than 200,000 soldiers and horses to conquer the Khitan twice, but he has not yet won. How can he guarantee that he can defeat the Jin Kingdom now? Tong Guan suppressed his anger.
Tong Guan looked at Zhao Liangsi and said: "Others can't explain the matter clearly. I would like to ask Secretary Zhao to return to the capital to see the Holy One. Cai Jianjun and I are preparing our troops and waiting for the Holy One's order. Once the Holy One has the decree to seize Youzhou by force, Order, I will lead more than 200,000 imperial soldiers and horses to launch a general attack on Youzhou, vowing to regain the homeland of the Sixteenth Province of Youyun for the imperial court."
Zhao Liangsi hurriedly replied: "I will follow the order of the privy envoy to return to Beijing to see the Holy One and ask for His Majesty's decree. I begged the privy envoy that before I return to Xiongzhou, I must not start a fight with the Jurchens." Seek long-term benefits.”
Tong Guandao: "Of course. Secretary Zhao, please work hard and return to Beijing overnight."
Zhao Liangsi said: "Yes, I will obey the order."
Immediately, Tong Guan sent more than a thousand soldiers and horses to escort Zhao Liangsi back to Bianjing to meet Emperor Huizong.
Zhao Liangsi traveled under the stars and at night, leaving aside the situation of rushing to Bianjing for the time being. Let's talk about Xiao Pu Xiannu and Yelu Dashi who escaped from Yanjing City some time ago.
At that time, after hearing that Yan Nianhan had led tens of thousands of troops to attack Youzhou, Yelu Dashi, who was guarding Youzhou City, knew that the city would not be protected. Once the city was broken, the Empress Dowager Xiao Puxian would be humiliated, and his own life would also be in danger. After urgent discussion with Xiao Puxian's daughter, on the pretext of leaving the city to resist the Jurchen soldiers and horses, he led an army of more than a thousand horses and fled out of the west gate towards Yunzhou to find Yelu Yanxi, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom.
After many twists and turns, Xiao Puxiannu and Yelu Dashi found Yelu Yanxi hiding in the Yinshan Mountains. Not long ago, Zhao Liangsi dispatched a small team of troops under the orders of Emperor Huizong, led by the governor Wang Bangtai. They had found Yelu Yanxi, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom, who was hiding from the Jurchen pursuit in the Yin Mountains before Xiao Pu Xiannu and Yelu Dashi.
Zhao Liangsi settled down to find Emperor Tianzuo's kingdom, Taidao. After you find Emperor Tianzuo, your attitude must be respectful, and don't make Emperor Tianzuo feel underestimated. After Wang Bangtai led a small team of soldiers from the Song Dynasty to find Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi, Wang Bangtai paid tribute to Emperor Tianzuo again and again, called Emperor Tianzuo the Great Emperor, and told Yelu Yanxi that I was extremely concerned about the Emperor during my pilgrimage. We have been specially sent to look for him and ask the emperor to go to Bianjing. Our court will provide him with protection. If the great emperor goes to Bianjing, I will be treated as an imperial brother as a pilgrim. I will be placed above the two kings of Yan and Yue. I will be given the thousandth room and three hundred female musicians to support me.
This was a well-intentioned move, but Emperor Tianzuo not only did not appreciate it, he became furious and angrily scolded Wang Bangtai: "You are ungrateful to the emperor, betrayed the alliance, colluded with the Jurchens, and harmed our country, Daliao. Now you are pretending to be the emperor." The good guys are here? Our territory in Liao is vast, our troops are strong, and we will definitely drive out the Jurchens. What should I do with them? When I finish hunting, I will return to Youzhou and organize my troops. Not only will I destroy the Jurchens, but I will also kill you when the time comes. The country also took care of it."
Looking at the furious Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, Wang Bangtai kindly reminded: "Great Emperor, I'm afraid you can't go back to Youzhou. Now Youzhou has been occupied by the Jurchens."
Emperor Tianzuo said that he was shocked. As far as he knew, after he came to Yinshan, Yelv Chun proclaimed himself emperor, and Youzhou was still in the hands of Daliao. Now, Wang Bangtai finally learned that Youzhou had been occupied by the Jurchens, and he couldn't help but be shocked. However, Emperor Tianzuo was an arrogant and arrogant man. He thought that he was the best in martial arts and no one could defeat him. Therefore, after learning that Youzhou was also occupied by the Jurchens, Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi did not feel that he was the best in the world. When the end came, he was shocked and ordered his subordinates: "Disarm all the Song soldiers and imprison them without releasing any of them."
Wang Bangtai was shocked and said hurriedly: "Great Emperor, we are ordered to come here to find you for your safety. Please go to Bianjing City instead of fleeing in the barren mountains and canyons, right? Now, you are If you don't accept my pilgrimage, you shouldn't be detained, right? We are just following orders!"
