When they came, Wanyan Zongqian knew that Murong Fu would not agree to invade the Song Dynasty with them. Just like when they fought with the Liao Kingdom, they just wanted to confirm Murong Fu's attitude. Whether he chose to stand aside or help the Song Dynasty .
Now that the Song Dynasty is declining, it is a perfect opportunity for them to send troops south. If they cannot take action in time, there is no guarantee that the Song Dynasty will not rely on the vast and fertile resources to regain its vitality. By then, they will try to take over the Song Dynasty. I'm afraid it will be difficult.
"The emperor of the Song Dynasty was incompetent and allowed corrupt officials to run rampant and harm the people. It was really outrageous. Our emperor believed that such an immoral and incompetent king was not worthy of having such a vast territory. Why don't your majesty form an alliance with me, Dajin?" , together we will punish the people and take over this land as their own, giving the people of the Song Dynasty in the south a peaceful and prosperous age to live and work in peace and contentment?"
Although he knew in his heart that Murong Fu would not join them in conquering the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zongqian still said this impassioned speech in a high-sounding way.
Murong Fu was unmoved and said calmly, "If the people of the Song Dynasty feel that the Song Dynasty is unjust and corrupt officials are rampant, then they will find another way to make a living. I, the Yan Dynasty, are also willing to take in refugees from various countries who have left their homes, but if I are asked to take the initiative to By attacking the Song Dynasty, wouldn’t it be unfair to me? Let’s not mention this matter again!”
Wanyan Zongqian naturally sneered at Murong Fu's behavior, but he pretended to be distressed and said, "Since Your Majesty is unwilling to save the people of the Song Dynasty in the south, we will no longer force it. We just hope that Your Majesty can act with discretion." .”
Murong Fu's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he immediately made a guarantee, "That's natural. For example, as I just said, if the people of the Song Dynasty feel that they can't stay in the Song Dynasty any longer, they can come to our country of Yan to make a living. No matter what your country wants to do, My great Yan will not interfere in the slightest, but just a little..." ?.?????.ℂ??
"If there are people who want to join me, Dayan, please be kind to your country and don't hurt innocent people!"
Wanyan Zongqian frowned and thought, is it that simple?
Logically speaking, shouldn't Murong Fu want both money and land?
"Your Majesty said that the foreign minister will report the truth to our emperor. I wonder if your Majesty has any other requests?"
Wanyan Zongqian asked tentatively.
Murong Fu showed a soothing expression on his brows and said, "I only have this request. Your envoy only needs to tell the truth to Brother Wanyan."
Wanyan Zongqian could hardly believe his ears, but at this time he had no intention of analyzing the other party's purpose. He just wanted to tell his father the good news as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty's golden words will never be changed?"
Wanyan Zongqian asked excitedly while controlling the rising and falling of his chest.
"I promise you a thousand pieces of gold and I will never change it!"
Murong Fu also assured him again.
Wanyan Zongqian was overjoyed. After bowing respectfully to Murong Fu, he stood up and left. He wished that the wind would blow under his feet and flew back to Daijin.
After Wanyan Zongqian left, the palace door slowly closed at this moment.
Murong Fu looked under the imperial desk. Kang Min was covering the corners of his mouth and glaring at him with a shy expression.
Seeing the slight moistness that could only be seen at the corner of Kang Min's mouth, Murong Fu couldn't help but flash a poem in his mind.
"The wind blows across the river in the autumn cold, and the white dew rustles the waves in the cave."
Autumn is cold and the white dew is the real thing. As for this Dongting... it goes without saying.
Although Kang Min had let Murong Fu enjoy himself to the fullest, he was still burning with desire. He saw her getting up and posing, her delicate body weak and boneless lying on the imperial desk, looking back with a smile, looking like she was ready to take whatever he wanted. While looking at him, she also didn't forget to stretch out her jade feet and rub them on Murong Fu's legs, feeling indescribably charming and affectionate.
Murong Fu felt like a kitten's claws scratching his heart, and then he stepped forward to meet the beauty's bold provocation.
…
In the ninth year of Fengtian, Ruichun.
In order to appease Wang Yuyan's heart, Murong Fu held a wedding for Murong Chengze and Zhao Fujin in advance.
Although Murong Chengze was only marrying a concubine this time, as a member of her natal family, the Song Dynasty still did not impose a dowry and ordered someone to send her a congratulatory gift that was no less than what Zhao Yupan received when she got married.
The other countries also sent symbolic gifts to congratulate them, which was enough to give Dayan face.
However, Murong Fu's move shocked Da Jin, who was about to send troops, and he quickly sent people to inquire privately about whether there was a change in the plan, and he, Murong Fu, wanted to intervene in the war between Song and Jin.
Murong Fu expressed his innocence and spent a lot of time explaining clearly before sending Dai Jin's people away.
…
At the beginning of the fourth month, after Da Jin completely believed that Murong Fu would not betray his faith and help the Song Dynasty, he began to harass the villages and towns of the Song Dynasty on the border in order to create conflicts and test the attitude of the Song Dynasty.
After three years of continuous civil strife in the Song Dynasty, the rebels were finally suppressed, but the national treasury became very tight. Not to mention food and grass, even disaster relief funds in some areas could not be provided.
Therefore, the conflict between the two sides only lasted for less than three months. Dajin made a fuss and stationed troops outside the country to confront them. It seemed that he would launch troops to attack if they disagreed.
Seeing this situation, Huizong gave up. Under the advice of a group of treacherous ministers, he did not even dare to fight, so he abandoned the Great Wall, a natural barrier against foreigners, and planned to negotiate a peace and cede territory.
As for compensation, the Song Dynasty could not afford it at all, so it could only cesse the war by ceding territory.
According to the treacherous ministers with ill intentions in the court, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun has been occupied by foreigners since the time of Taizu. At present, ceding the interior of the Great Wall to Dajin is nothing more than a temporary measure. After the autumn harvest after the new year and people's livelihood has been restored, we can send troops to recover it.
Huizong was hesitant at first and thought about sending someone to ask Murong Fu for help, but Murong Fu refused on the grounds that it was inconvenient to intervene in the internal affairs of the two countries.
Knowing Murong Fu's attitude, Huizong still hoped that he would mediate the matter and resolve the conflicts between the two parties. Although Murong Fu did not refuse this time, news soon came from the Dajin side that the Song Dynasty should compensate them for their losses. , otherwise they will send troops to attack.
There is no need to blame others. Huizong knew that it was Da Jin who provoked the evil first, but in the face of a situation where the enemy was strong and we were weak, he had no choice but to do anything.
There is definitely no way to lose money and food. After thinking about it, I can only cut a piece of fat from the vast territory of the Song Dynasty to feed these hungry wolves.
So the matter of ceding the interior of the Great Wall came about.
Huizong was supposed to have a great achievement that would go down in history and be admired by future generations, but unexpectedly, before he got off his butt, he had to make another decision that went against his ancestors.
Thinking of how proud he was when he asked the historian to record his achievements in the history books when he regained the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, he now feels how painful his face is.
Unless one day he can recover the ceded land, future generations will only remember that it was Murong Fu who recovered the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, not Zhao Ji.
It was Zhao Ji who ceded the land to foreigners, and he is likely to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history until one day he is forgotten by future generations.
Unless he can personally wash away his shame during his tenure, he will be the eternal sinner of the Song Dynasty.
