Yelv Chun and the two singers were still sleeping, but his personal guard suddenly came to report. When he saw Yelv Chun and the two singers lying naked, he was about to retreat, but Yelv Chun also followed. When he woke up, he kicked the guard away and yelled loudly:
"Why are you running? Didn't you just see a man fighting two women at night? It's no big deal."
"Yes, yes, it is our blessing that your majesty remains as majestic as before. I wish His Highness a thousand years of life."
After the guard flattered him, Yelu Chun became very excited and said happily:
"Tell me, what's the matter with coming to see me so early?"
"Your Majesty, Thousand Years Old, has just received an imperial edict from Beijing. Next month, the Emperor's general and his ministers of civil and military affairs will come to my city of Nanjing to hunt, so that you can be prepared."
"Okay, okay, okay. You quickly convey my order to Xiao Qian, Li Chuwen, Guo Yaoshi, Yelu Dashi and others, and ask the soldiers of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to strengthen their defense. I want the emperor and the civil and military ministers to see me, Yanyun Ten The prosperity of the six states”.
After Yelu Chun finished speaking, the guard took the order and went forward.
Since the alliance between the Liao Dynasty and Chanyuan of the Song Dynasty, Nanjing City has been without war, has a large population, sufficient troops, and strong city walls. Under the rule of Yelu Chun and Yelu Dashi, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, headed by Nanjing City, have become A rare place of prosperity for the Daliao Dynasty.
With the arrival of Yelu Yanxi, civil and military officers such as Yelu Chun, Xiao Qian, Li Chuwen, and Guo Yaoshi made Nanjing city defense impregnable.
Yelu Yanxi, who was greedy for life, afraid of death and greedy for pleasure, was worried that the Jin people would come again. In addition, Nanjing City, located in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, was prosperous and was a good place for hunting and a good place to avoid the Jin soldiers. More than a month later, He immediately brought the civil and military ministers of the Daliao Dynasty to Nanjing.
After the hunting in the suburbs of Nanjing ended, following Yelu Yanxi's order, the capital of the Liao Dynasty was moved from Shangjing to Nanjing. He sat in the tall and magnificent hall of Nanjing City, looking down at the officials of the Liao Dynasty under the hall, and he felt like he was dominating the world. Suddenly, a guard from the Liao Dynasty came to report:
"Reporting to your Majesty, Wanyan Wu Qi, the envoy of the Jin Empire, is asking for an audience."
After the guards finished speaking, Yelu Yanxi thought that the Jin Empire's army was invading and was frightened. She wanted to retreat to the back hall for refuge, leaving Xiao Fengxian, Zhang Lin and others to deal with it in the court hall. Under the strong opposition of Dagong Ding and Xiao Wuna, Finally, he reluctantly agreed to welcome the envoys of the Jin Empire.
After a while, Wanyan Wu, a beggar, came with his head held high, he knelt down politely and said:
"Wanyan Wu, the imperial master of the Great Jin Empire, begged to buy something. Seeing His Majesty the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, long live long live long live."
"Your Majesty, please rise and give me a seat."
At this moment, Zhang Lin was suddenly shocked and said rashly:
"This, this, this, isn't this Mr. Bao Anbao? How can you be the Imperial Master of the Great Jin Empire? How could you be Wanyan Wu, the fourth brother of Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Great Jin Empire?"
"Hahaha, back to Mr. Xiangguo, Bao'an is Wanyan Wu begging for money, and Wanyan Wu begging for money is Bao'an. If it's fake, it's guaranteed. Mr. Xiangguo is so kind."
Only then did Zhang Lin come to her senses. It turned out that his most proud strategy of recruiting 200,000 people from the Liao Dynasty and more than 300 people to join the war was actually a strategy devised by the spy Wanyan Wu Qimai of the Jin Kingdom to disrupt the Liao Dynasty. . For a time, he looked ashamed and old, and he stopped talking in the court.
After being silent for a while, Xiao Feng glanced at Wan Yan Wu's begging and said:
"Hahaha, it turns out that Mr. Zuo Xiangguo, Zhang Xiangguo, and the Grand Master of the Kingdom of Jin are old friends. I, Xiao Feng, am ignorant and can't see through the personality of Mr. Zuo."
After Xiao Feng spoke first, Xiao Wuna stood up and said:
"Hahaha, you two prime ministers, now that the noble envoy of the Kingdom of Jin is here, we should do our best to entertain Wanyan Guoshi."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Xiao is right, Zhang Lin, Xiao Fengxian, please stop talking about other things."
Yelu Yanxi laughed heartily and continued:
"I don't know what the purpose of your visit to Daliao is."
"To His Majesty the Emperor of Liao, I, the Emperor of Jin, cannot bear to see the people of Liaodong suffering from the war. Therefore, I want to make peace with Daliao and form brothers and allies to avoid the recurrence of war."
After Wanyan Wu finished talking about begging for money, everyone in the Liao court was shocked. No one thought that the Great Jin Empire, which had won consecutive battles, would propose peace at this time, and there was a sudden silence in the court.
Seeing that the Liao officials did not speak, Wanyan Wu Qimai continued:
"Your Majesty, my lords, if the Liao Kingdom has no intention of negotiating peace, then I, Wanyan Wu, will be begging for money in vain."
After saying that, Wanyan Wu Qimai and the accompanying officials of the Jin Kingdom Yang Pu, Lalan Aqiang, Tang Kuo Zhongyuan and others were about to leave.
However, the initiative of the Jin Kingdom was hard-won, and Yelu Yanxi's happiness came too suddenly. How could he let go of this opportunity for peace talks? So he immediately got up and walked down to the Jinluan Palace, holding Wanyan Wu's begging hand and saying:
"The noble envoys should not be anxious. The noble envoys should not be anxious. The Liaodong border has been suffering from wars, and it is my fault."
"The Emperor of the Jin Kingdom loves his people like his own son and hopes for peace on the border, and I do the same. My dear friends, the envoys of the Jin Kingdom are here to negotiate peace. We, the Liao Dynasty, cannot ask for it. We must not neglect the envoys and delay the opportunity of the Liao and Jin Dynasties to negotiate peace."
After Yelu Yanxi finished speaking, all the ministers knelt down and shouted long live long live long live long live.
Yelu Chun, Zhang Lin and others, who were frightened by the elite soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, naturally wanted to negotiate peace and did not want the war between Liao and Jin to resume.
Xiao Fengxian and others who only knew how to flatter Yelu Yanxi knew that Yelu Yanxi wanted to negotiate peace, so they all begged and flattered the Jin envoy Wanyan Wu.
Only Yelu Dashi, who was calm in dealing with things, and Xiao Wuna, who was accustomed to ups and downs, remained silent. There was a lot of discussion in the court, while Wanyan Wu Qingbu was thinking secretly.
After a while, Xiao Wuna finally spoke.
"Wars in the Liao and Jin Dynasties continued, the people were displaced, the court's taxes dropped sharply every year, and the food and salary of the soldiers were difficult to guarantee. We, the Liao Dynasty, naturally hope to negotiate a peace, but we don't know what the terms of the peace negotiation are in the Jin Dynasty."
After Xiao Wuna finished speaking, the arguing in the court finally stopped, and all the civil and military officials in the court stared intently at Wanyan Wu, who was gorgeously dressed, handsome, and calm, begging to buy.
After a while, Yelu Yanxi regained the demeanor of a great king, calmly walked towards the emperor's throne, patted the dragon robe on his body and said:
"Yes, Mr. Xiao is the treasure of our country, the Liao Dynasty, and it comes to my heart. Our Daliao Dynasty is eager to negotiate peace, and is willing to share the vast territory of the northern border with the Kingdom of Jin. Your envoy may wish to tell you the conditions for peace negotiation. Bar".
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, after deliberation with the officials of the Great Jin Kingdom, we believe that the Great Jin Kingdom is now at its peak and unstoppable. However, the Great Liao Kingdom is dying and the sun is declining. Therefore, when the two countries negotiate a peace, our Great Jin Empire should be respected."
"Besides, my imperial brother Wanyan Aguda is older than His Majesty the Emperor of Daliao. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor of your country needs to respectfully address me, the Emperor of the Great Jin Empire, as brother."
"Hahaha, this is easy to say. The emperor of your country is older than me, so it is only natural and right for you to call him your elder brother. I agree."
After Yelu Yanxi finished speaking, Dagong Ding, who stroked his beard, suddenly said:
"I dare to ask your Majesty, is this the only condition for the Kingdom of Jin and no other conditions for peace negotiation?"
"Yes, yes, of course there is. First, the Liao Dynasty announced to the world that the Emperor of the Great Jin Empire is recognized as the Great Sage of the Great Jin and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Secondly, two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver silk must be transferred to our Great Jin Kingdom every year. , and give us half of the annual coins sent by the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty to the Great Jin Kingdom. Thirdly, cut off the land of Changchun and Liaodong to give me the Great Jin Empire."
"If so, the Jin Empire and the Liao Kingdom will share peace in the world just like the Liao-Song Chanyuan Alliance more than a hundred years ago."
After Wanyan Wu finished talking about begging for money, the court hall was silent again. Yelu Chun, Zhang Lin and others who did not want to fight with the Liao Kingdom again stopped talking.
Seeing that Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Dynasty was about to make a move, Xiao Wuna had no choice but to write:
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Why don't you let the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin return to the inn to rest first? I'll wait for the courtiers to discuss it before informing the envoy."
After Xiao Wuna finished speaking, Yelu Dashi suddenly said:
"Brother Wu Qimai, I dare to ask if the terms of this peace negotiation can be negotiated again."
"Hahaha, brother Dashi, this is decided by our emperor, who is deeply concerned about the suffering of the people and the safety of the soldiers on the border, and risking the disapproval of the world. If these conditions cannot be met, our soldiers, Dajin, will go straight to Nanjing."
"Hmph, you have such a loud tone. Others are afraid of your Jin army, but I, Yelu Dashi, am not afraid."
Worried that Wanyan Wu would be offended by his begging and the opportunity to negotiate for peace would be missed, Xiao Fengxian said angrily:
"Bold Yelu Dashi, a small guard in Nanjing's left-behind mansion, how can he speak such arrogant words? Get out of here."
"Hey, hey, it doesn't matter. Brother Oishi's heroic spirit is a bit like the soldiers of our Jurchen Kingdom of Jin. If Brother Oishi doesn't give up, he comes to serve in our country. Not to mention being crowned king and prime minister, he will be a hereditary marquis. It’s no problem.”
"You, you, you, Wanyan Wu begging for money, don't talk nonsense. I, Yelu Dashi, am a descendant of Emperor Taizu. How could I go to your poor and remote Jurchen tribe?"
What Wanyan Wu said about begging for money made Yelu Dashi furious.
Seeing the chaos in the court, and fearing that it would disrupt the overall peace talks, Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Dynasty ordered to withdraw from the court.
Later, in order to show that he attached great importance to the peace talks, he personally took Xiao Fengxian, Yelu Chun, Zhang Lin and other important court officials to send Yan Wu to the Nanjing post to rest before begging for money.
