Wanyan Agudai was surprised for a while. He looked at Zhao Hong and bowed respectfully.
"Who do you honor, can you tell me?"
In less than a hundred years after the Jurchens took over the Central Plains, all etiquette and etiquette had been completely Chineseized.
As the official envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, he really didn't need to be as knowledgeable as Zhao Hong, a stupid young man.
"Your Majesty, this is the Prince of the Song Dynasty, His Highness Zhao Hong, Duke of Ji Guo!"
Wei Liaoweng, the Minister of War, looked gloomy and introduced Agudai.
The prince of the Song Dynasty and Duke of Ji Guo Zhao Hong?
A Gudai and Zhang Tiangang were both stunned.
The Song and Jin Dynasties fought for years, and there was no contact with each other for seven years. They only knew the name of the prince of the Song Dynasty, but never saw Zhao Hong himself. There was no prince in the official family of the Song Dynasty, and the only prince Zhao Hong was the future emperor of the Song Dynasty.
The two of them secretly wondered why the prince of the Song Dynasty, who was cultivated in poetry, poetry, benevolence and morality, had such a violent personality, like a cultured hooligan?
"His Royal Highness, the reason for asking for annual coins is because our country of Jin has suffered from repeated wars and the people's livelihood has been in ruins. There is only some offense in it, but I hope that Your Highness will forgive me."
"Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Your Highness, the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty are inseparable and cannot attack each other. I hope the Emperor of the Song Dynasty will put the people of the two countries first, cherish the centuries-old friendship between the Jin and Song countries, and not behave like relatives and enemies. Quick thing!"
Wanyan Agudai and Zhang Tiangang changed their attitudes one after another, bowed to Zhao Hongsu, and then showed respect to Zhao Kuo who was sitting on the throne, looking a little embarrassed.
What Zhao Hong meant may be what Zhao Kuo meant. Dajin's national power is weak, and the Tatar army can move south at any time. At this time, it is better not to conflict with this "pivotal" prince.
"Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty will consider the matter of peace talks between the two countries in detail and give a reply to the Kingdom of Jin!"
Wanyan Agudai and Zhang Tiangang saw Zhao Hong's "servile behavior" in their eyes. Shi Miyuan frowned and took over the conversation.
"Historical minister, it's easy to talk!"
Wanyan Agudai saluted Shi Miyuan, then turned to face Zhao Hong with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, I heard that there was a great poet in the Song Dynasty who was the best in the world. Could it be that His Highness Duke Ji Guo?"
"The white-haired fisherman on the Nagisa River is used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. This turns out to be the work of His Highness!"
Zhang Tiangang reacted quickly and said it immediately, with a face full of flattery.
"Your envoys, poems, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting are just for cultivating sentiments and are the end of the film. If you can govern the country, make it prosperous and strengthen the army, you will be a great talent in the world. I am not talented, and I am still struggling. Let me The two envoys laughed at each other."
Zhao Hong gave Versailles a little thought.
The two men were arrogant at first and respectful at the end, and their attitudes changed so quickly that he felt inferior to them.
One second he was showing off his power, and the next second he was respectful and swaying, quite like a strategist in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
"Your Highness, it's easy to say that it's easy to say that it's easy to govern a country. I would like to ask Your Highness, as far as today's China is concerned, how can it be possible to govern and secure a country, make the country rich and strengthen its military? How can it retreat the soldiers from the north?"
The Jin envoys looked at each other and asked Wanyan Agudai to ask loudly.
The other ministers in the main hall all looked at Zhao Hong.
Shi Miyuan was about to answer the call, but simply kept silent and watched Zhao Hong's performance.
China?
The Kingdom of Jin called itself China, and the Han people under the rule of the Kingdom of Jin called themselves Han people. On the contrary, the Southern Song Dynasty was called "Southern people" and "Song people" by the Jin people.
It has to be said that this is a kind of historical helplessness.
I don’t know if Qin Hui’s “Southerners rule the South and Northerners rule the North” and Shi Miyuan’s father Shi Hao’s “reformed people” are broken.
"With the withdrawal of Dajin from Yanjing to Kaifeng City, it has lost its strategic depth and buffer area. With Shaanxi and Henan alone, it is wishful thinking to enrich the country and strengthen its army. Dajin has gathered heavy troops at Tongguan and the Yellow River line, which is enough to protect itself. Ten years. But the premise is that the country of Jin can have capable monarchs, ministers and envoys, and everyone must be united and don’t mess around!"
Zhao Hong thought for a moment and told the truth.
He still understands the meaning of lips dying and teeth falling cold. Whether you want to mess around or not, people's hearts have the final say.
"Your Majesty, you must know that a strong fortress often falls apart from within. This is all I will say below. Let us encourage each other."
"Thank you for your kind words, Your Highness!"
Wanyan Agudai and Zhang Tiangang looked at each other in surprise and saluted Zhao Hongsu together.
All the officials in the palace were in an uproar and looked at each other in shock.
Is there no further explanation for the matter of Sui coins?
There are also ministers who are full of disgust. There was a feud between the Song and Jin Dynasties, and the dignified prince of the Song Dynasty chatted happily with the ministers of Jin, which is really disgusting.
Shi Miyuan remained calm. He glanced at Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, and saw that Zhao Guicheng had a sad face and said nothing, and his face sank slightly.
After Wanyan and Agudai left the hall, Zhao Kuo coughed lightly in front of the ministers who were whispering among each other.
The court quickly returned to calm.
"Your Majesty, we can temporarily make good relations with the Jin people, and the two countries will stop attacking each other. As for the issue of Sui coins, the Jin people are strong on the outside and strong on the inside, so just reject it directly!"
Xu Xuan, the young minister of Dali Temple, came out and reported to Zhao Kuo.
"Your Majesty, the Tatars are powerful and it is not advisable to contact them again, lest the Jin people become suspicious and start launching troops again. The Jin people are too busy to take care of themselves. It should be just a test and will not force the use of troops."
Wei Liaoweng, the Minister of War, also came out with the same idea.
The ministers came out one by one, with the same meaning. In the end, Zhao Kuo's eyes fell on Shi Miyuan.
"Shi Xiang, what do you think?"
Regardless of the major military and political affairs, Shi Miyuan has the final say. This has become the established rule for the handling of political affairs in this dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I think so too. Restoring the Sui coins is out of date. Don't pay attention to the Jin people. Just negotiate for peace."
Sure enough, Shi Miyuan answered softly.
It seems that there is no harm in following the general trend.
"Several officials have drawn up terms to make peace with the Jin people, without talking about paying money. The prime minister will just reply to the Jin people."
Zhao Kuo said warmly, looking at Zhao Hong with a little appreciation in his eyes.
His words are sharp and well-founded, but his temper is a bit too straightforward.
However, in the confrontation between the two countries, the Song Dynasty earned enough face, and this was enough.
Turning his eyes to the childish-looking Yi Wang Zhao Guicheng in the train, Zhao Kuo's eyes became complicated again.
All this was keenly captured by Shi Miyuan in front of the train.
After retreating out of the main hall, Zhao Hong couldn't help but slap his forehead in frustration when he thought of what he was going to do.
He originally had a notebook to write about, but he forgot about it when Liang Chengda, a big troublemaker, interfered with it.
Zhao Kuo's health is not good, and it will take ten days. Unless there is an emergency, it seems that the memorial will have to wait until ten days later at the earliest.
Thinking about it, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. The things about Liang Chengda's impeachment seemed to have just ended and disappeared.
The cost of spreading rumors for these public officials is so low, no wonder they enjoy doing it.
I couldn't resist the irritation of these troublemakers and got angry every time. It seemed that I was too shallow and my energy cultivation was far from enough.
"Your Highness, what are you worried about? It's not Liang Chengda's barking dogs, is it?"
Seeing Zhao Hong downcast, Wei Liaowen smiled and reassured Zhao Hong.
"Your Highness, Shi Miyuan manipulates his words and will inevitably be impeached in the court. Just be more open-minded."
Wu Jing, the Yin of Lin'an Prefecture, also persuaded with a smile.
Shi Miyuan used the platform to admonish and control the way of speech. Most of the officials in the dynasty were Shi Miyuan's eagle dogs. It is no wonder that the officials were looking for trouble for Zhao Hong.
"It's not that Gu Fei wants to confront Shi Miyuan, but the matter is so important that Gu has to do it as a last resort. Huaidong established the envoy Xu Guo, and Sichuan established the envoy Zheng Sun. These two failed to succeed but failed. If we don’t transfer them back, something big will happen in the border fortress, the people will suffer, and the imperial court will suffer greatly!”
Zhao Hong said seriously, his anxiety evident in his words.
The three frontier fortresses of the Southern Song Dynasty, Sichuan, Jinghu, and Huaidong, were going to cause trouble in Sichuan and Huaidong. How could he not be in a hurry?
"What's the trouble?"
Wu Jing asked in surprise.
"This... Xu Guo is arrogant and unfair, and it is inevitable that he will conflict with Li Quan and cause trouble. As for Zheng Sun, he is as timid as a rat. Once a war breaks out in the border fortress, if Zheng Sun handles it improperly, it will definitely bring disaster to the country and the people. This is a big deal. . Can you, my two ministers, report to Your Majesty to recall Xu Guo and Zheng Sun?"
Zhao Hong had no choice but to "strongly argue the case."
He followed the prophetic predictions in history and hoped that Wei Liaoweng and others could help to avoid disaster.
"Your Highness, this is all speculation. It has not happened yet. How can you report it without real evidence?"
Wu Jing shook his head and rejected Zhao Hong's proposal.
Xu Guo and Zheng Sun were close confidants of Shi Miyuan, and Shi Miyuan single-handedly promoted them. Could it be said that he should be asked to seek help from Shi Miyuan?
"Your Highness, you should worry about yourself. Don't worry about these fictitious things. Besides, is it useful to worry about it? Even if you sue the official, what can he do? Deny the appointment and dismissal of Xu and Zheng. ? What crime did Xu and Zheng commit? "
Xu Xuan frowned and said, asking Zhao Hong not to be impulsive.
"Xu Yanguan heard that there was something going on, so he wouldn't allow me to live in danger? If I don't replace him, something big will happen!"
Zhao Hong made a last ditch effort, hoping that these ministers could speak in the court.
"Your Highness, this move is not only meaningless, but will also offend Shi Miyuan. You'd better calm down and do your duty."
Wu Jing was not polite and directly concluded the matter.
I go!
Zhao Hong shook his head in disappointment.
I'm afraid it's just as these cunning scholar-bureaucrats said, forcibly submitting the memorial will be counterproductive.
From this point of view, the matter can only be left alone. Unless he is strong enough to decide these national affairs.
Seeing that Zhao Hong was unhappy, Wei Liaoweng changed the subject and mentioned iron smelting.
"Your Highness, has the new iron you smelted come out? How is its quality?"
"That's right, Your Highness, after working for so long, you won't accomplish anything, right?"
Wu Jing also asked with a smile.
"Wei Gong, Wu Gong, just wait for the good news. When the good iron is produced, I will have some good knives made and give one to each of you to use in practicing the Sunflower Treasure Book!"
Zhao Hong said seriously.
"Sunflower Treasure Book? What is that?"
Wei Liaoweng was startled, then shook his head and said with a smile:
"I am too old to practice the Sunflower Treasure Mirror. I'd better leave it to Your Highness to practice."
"Your Highness, you agreed to give me a precious sword. My unfilial son loves practicing martial arts the most!"
Wu Jing took the initiative to ask for it.
"My gentlemen, please say goodbye!"
Zhao Hong was sweating profusely and hurriedly said goodbye and left.
It seems that there is no way to deal with Xu Guozheng's loss. If he uses force blindly, it will be counterproductive. .
Now we can only drag it out one day at a time, hoping that these two idiots will not be too arrogant or timid and let the disaster be delayed as long as possible.
After returning to the mansion, he hurriedly washed up. Because he had not had a good rest in the past few days, Zhao Hong fell asleep on the bed without taking off his clothes.
In his sleep, he felt someone crawling onto the bed. Rusty Lu helped him take off his clothes and then got into bed. By the time he reacted, a soft and warm body had already wrapped itself around him.
"Your Highness, you haven't touched me for a long time."
Xu Ji spoke softly, as if there was a trace of complaint.
"Xu... Ji, you don't... want this... like..."
Zhao Hong was breathing rapidly and his mouth was dry. He obviously couldn't resist and soon ended the fact of "losing his virginity".
The bed creaked, followed by irrepressible gasps and moans.
Shi Miyuan, Yang Guizhi, Zhao Kuo, state affairs, family affairs, world affairs, all get out of here.
At this moment, he just wanted to indulge and release.
Let him have as much fun as he wants on this night of intoxicating spring breeze.
