"Yu Wenxuzhong, you, what do you mean?"
In the Chongzheng Hall, Zhao Ji, an official of the Song Dynasty, heard Yu Wenxuzhong say that the peace talks had been completed, and he was too excited to say anything.
Yu Wenxuzhong said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Yun has reached an agreement with the Jin people to cede the Yanshan Mansion Road, and spend 500,000 as a dowry to marry Emperor Roufu to Wanyan Wushu, the fourth prince of the Jin people. In addition, he will give Sui coins 3000000.
This year's coins must be calculated from the seventh year of Xuanhe, so we must first give the Jin people 3 million before they can withdraw their troops from Kaifeng Mansion. As for Di Ji's marriage, it can be postponed until next year. In other words, we have to give the Jin people 3.5 million next year..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ji interrupted him and said, "I have already given King Yun 3 million, didn't he transfer it to the Jinren?"
During this period, Zhao Ji's court was trapped in Kaifeng Mansion. Financially, there were expenditures but no inputs. Spending money was like water, and Yuda was no longer very prosperous.
"King Yun may have already spent part of it," Yu Wenxuzhong hurriedly explained, "so he only gave the Jinren 2 million. As long as the court can give the remaining 1 million, and then send a prince and a prime minister as hostages, The man who sent the gold returns north... This is a draw!"
"I see..." Zhao Ji finally showed a smile, "Sanlang is really good at doing things, and I am very happy!"
He said this unintentionally, but many people in the hall listened with interest!
No one expected that King Yun Zhao Kai would betray his country and beg for mercy, and he would sell well!
Previously, the golden thief asked for 30 million in goods (a one-time reward) and 20 emperor concubines. This was impossible to agree to... because it cost a lot to recruit troops and prepare for war. There is no 30 million left at all. Although Zhao Ji has more than 20 concubines, many of them are already married, and many are too young to be married at all.
Coupled with the firm opposition of Zhao Huan, Li Gang, Wu Min, Geng Nanzhong and other main war factions, the peace could not continue.
Unexpectedly, I actually talked to Zhao Kai about 3 million and 1 Di Ji (the Di Ji also had a dowry of 500,000 yuan). This is a great achievement... With this credit, coupled with Zhao Ji's favor, plus The marriage between Emperor Ji of Roufu (that is Zhao Kai's half-sister) and the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, when the three great kings Zhao Kai returns to the court, the prince may be deposed!
Zhao Huan was already sweating profusely when he thought of being deposed and what would happen after he was deposed, but he did not dare to object to the peace negotiation and had no choice but to look at Li Gang asking for help.
Although Li Gang is just a minister, you can be regarded as a deputy prime minister, but he is the leader of the main war faction in Kaifeng City!
Even though he doesn’t know much about military affairs, he is determined to fight against the Jin Dynasty and acts very tough. He is not afraid of offending others and does not care about personal gains and losses. Therefore, Kaifeng’s anti-golden force is really impossible without him. In fact, the Kaifeng Mansion is conscientiously organizing the anti-gold movement. It's just a job that offends people and arouses suspicion. No one who really "understands politics" is willing to do it, and only Li Gang, the first-timer, would poke this hornet's nest.
Although Li Gang, who had offended all the dignitaries in Kaifeng City after fighting against the Jin Dynasty and made the officials very jealous, would definitely be abandoned, now he has organized the imperial army and the people in Kaifeng City.
These are two to three hundred thousand armed soldiers and civilians! Although they couldn't defeat the gold thieves outside the city, they were enough to threaten the officials and peacekeepers inside the city.
Zhao Ji is really sitting on pins and needles these days as an official under the threat of two to three hundred thousand armed soldiers and civilians! I don’t know when his son Zhao Huan was forced by Li Gang to usurp his throne... Everyone knows that Li Gang supports the prince!
And Li Gang did not hide his support for Zhao Huan at all. After getting Zhao Huan's look, he immediately went out to the class and said: "Your Majesty, I think the gold thief is cunning and should not be trusted!"
Zhao Ji knew it was going to be bad when he saw Li Gang standing up, but the golden thief hasn't retreated yet, so Li Gang can't touch him no matter how domineering he is.
Otherwise, the 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers and civilians outside the palace would ask the Song Dynasty to change officials...
Zhao Ji frowned and asked, "Why did Li Qing say this?"
Li Gang said: "Kaifeng has been trapped for many days now, and there is no information from inside and outside. It is not known whether King Yun has reached an agreement with the gold thief. Don't relax your guard just because of the gold thief's words, let alone give away millions of wealth to others!
If the golden thief has really reached an agreement with King Yun, he should let go of the siege so that King Yun's memorial can enter the city and His Majesty can know the situation everywhere in the world! "
After hearing what Li Gang said, Zhao Ji felt that it made sense. One million dollars seems to be quite a lot of money, so of course you can't give it to anyone easily. You really have to read Zhao Kai's memorial before paying out.
And if the gold thief really reached an agreement with Zhao Kai, there would be no need to surround Kaifeng Mansion, right?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji smiled and said: "Li Qing's words are reasonable... If the Jin people really reached an agreement with King Yun, they should let King Yun's memorial enter the city."
He thought for a while, then smiled and said, "If the Jin people haven't finally reached an agreement with King Yun, I can agree to these conditions!"
He can handle an imperial concubine, and he doesn't feel bad if he shaves off more than three million people a year, so Zhao Ji is in a pretty good mood now.
He looked at the ministers lined up on the left and right, smiled and asked: "I wonder who is willing to go to the Jin camp and tell the Jin people what I said?"
Li Gang quickly winked at Yu Wenxuzhong - he must get this mission! Only in this way can we act according to the situation and protect the interests of the Song Dynasty. Three million yuan is still too much. Can it be reduced a little? For example, reduce it to three to five million? In addition, it seems that the Golden Thief also has a Western Route Army attacking Hedong, and they have to retreat together!
The official surnamed Zhao in Jiangsu during the Song Dynasty didn't care, but his loyal minister surnamed Li cared very much.
Yu Wenxuzhong caught Li Gang's look and immediately asked Zhao Kai for orders: "Your Majesty, my minister Yu Wenxuzhong is willing to go to the Jin camp and feel out the bottom of the Jin people for your Majesty."
"Your Majesty," Cai You, the Privy Councilor, also came out to report at this time, "I recommend Zhao Liangsi as deputy envoy, and we will go to Jin camp together."
Zhao Ji nodded and said with a smile: "With Yu Wenxuzhong and Zhao Liangsi going with us, we can definitely negotiate with the Jin people... In addition, I also want to give King Yun an edict to reward him for presiding over the peace. For this great achievement, how do you think I should reward King Yun?"
How to reward?
Zhao Huan's face almost turned dark after hearing this. King Yun is already a prince, and if he is rewarded again, he should be a prince! Thinking of this, Zhao Huan felt like he was giving Li Bangyan a wink.
Dazai Li Bangyan supported Zhao Huan, and of course he had to help him speak at this time, otherwise Zhao Kai would not be able to benefit from him after he came to power, so he went to the memorial and said: "Your Majesty, I think that I should be granted the title of a great country, so I can grant the title of King Yun." King Qin."
Conferred the title of King of Qin... This title was not a good title for Zhao Kai, but gave him the label of "Li Shimin of the Song Dynasty"!
Although Tang Taizong is recognized as a wise king, Li Shimin's father, brother and younger brother Li Yuanji must not like such a wise king.
Zhao Ji frowned after hearing this. To be honest, if the peace negotiation with the Jin people failed, he would really like a "Zhao Shimin". Even if "Zhao Shimin" kills Zhao Huan, he can still accept it...
But now that the peace talks are about to succeed, Zhao Ji feels that he still has 30 years to become emperor, and of course he is not willing to be forced to retreat by "Zhao Shimin".
"Sanlang is the marshal of Hebei's army. Isn't it appropriate to make him King of Qin?" Zhao Ji frowned slightly, "It's better to promote him to King of Wei."
The King of Wei was not a good noble in the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin's fourth brother, Zhao Tingmei, was granted the title of King of Wei. Later, Zhao Tingmei was suspected of wanting to rebel, and was placed in Fangzhou by the Duke of Fuling County. At the age of 38, she suddenly vomited blood and died... He said he was suffering from anxiety and anger, but no matter how he looked at it, it looked like food poisoning!
The promotion of Zhao Ji to Zhao Kai as King of Wei can be regarded as a small warning - the official position is still mine. If you want to be the official, you have to wait patiently for thirty or forty years!
