Handan City, the place where Yue Fei once stirred up the war and completely established his reputation, once again became the place for peace talks between Song and Jin Dynasties.
There are good reasons for choosing this place. The city is tall, the location is reasonable, and it has some status.
Therefore, Handan undoubtedly became the venue for the Song-Jin peace talks, and the Jin people also rarely understood some etiquette this time, and tidied up the good things inside and outside the city.
At the same time, relief was given to the victims, rice grains were distributed, and rewards were given. At the same time, the land in the entire Dexin Prefecture was measured, and farmland was re-divided for the people.
Of course, the purpose of this was not because the Jin people understood etiquette, but because they wanted the Song people to see that the people here lived well under their governance.
At the same time, it also allowed the Song people who were negotiating to see this scene and inform Zhao Huan at the rear, making him feel the real urgency.
Then you will have an advantage when bargaining.
This is an old trick, and it’s not a new technique.
This time, both parties were in charge of the negotiations, including celebrities. The old ministers of the Jin Kingdom were dispatched here, and the old prime minister of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Xiyin, who could hardly walk.
Although this old man, who was already walking slowly and decrepitly, looked like he was in trouble, he even started to feel weak when he spoke.
But his presence still made many people feel nervous.
When Zhao Huan, the envoy sent by Zhao Huan, heard that Wanyan Xiyin was coming in person, he was stunned and did not react for a long time.
And the first sentence he said when he came back to his senses was actually a question.
He asked the spy that this couldn't be true.
Wanyan Xiyin's real name is Gu Shen, he is the grandson of the famous general Wanyan Kaisun, and the son of the famous general Wanyan Huandu. According to his seniority, he has to call the golden general Wanyan Pu's slave uncle who fought with Li Yanxian to the death. .
But he is much older than him. His father was a Jiedushi. Compared with the Jin people, there are endless famous generals, generals and fierce generals.
Wanyan Xiyin is a rare scholar, and a scholar who is a bit too strong.
As the saying goes, a civil and military force alone will not last long. Although Wanyan Aguda could fight, he could wipe out the Jin people and build up the Jin Dynasty.
But he had a group of reckless men under his command, and all the literati had to rely on the literati who had been stolen from the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty. This led many people to speculate that this nation that did not even have its own writing was just a flash in the pan.
But all this changed after Wanyan Xiyin appeared. He made up for the last shortcoming of Jinguo. He added foundation and inheritance to Jinguo!
Beginning in the fourth year of Tianqing, Wanyan Aguda began to rebel against the Liao Dynasty. At that time, Wanyan Xiyin followed Wanyan Aguda as a counselor, and he did a pretty good job.
If he only made suggestions, then Wanyan Xiyin would be like that at best. A pure counselor is not worthy of anyone's sympathy.
However, after winning the first battle, he began to persuade Wanyan Aguda to prepare to proclaim himself emperor, and then withdrew from the army.
When everyone thought that this guy knew that his strategy was not good enough and was ready to become a member of the clan who would just eat and die and wait for death, he came out again in the fourth year after Wanyan Aguda proclaimed himself emperor.
This time, he brought the Jurchen writings belonging to their Jin country!
A country's true development relies on more than just force. It can rob bamboo slips, ancient books, and all kinds of treasures and goods from other countries.
But he can't steal the real inheritance. For a nation that even borrows its own writing from others, even if he talks about breaking the sky, it will be like that.
He himself will not perish, and he will be assimilated by others in the continuous inheritance. This has been proven time and time again by countless alien races.
So Wanyan Xiyin spent nearly ten years learning from each other's writing styles from the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, and then successfully found his own writing style and produced a complete set of writing styles that could be promoted.
And because of this, he also supplemented the inheritance of the Jin Kingdom, and after so many years of fighting in the north and south, his military strategy was also extremely powerful, and he really reached the position of the top counselor of the Jin Kingdom.
At the same time, there are rumors that this guy seems to be formulating the etiquette of the Jin Kingdom!
In Zhao Huan's words, this old guy wants to go to heaven. He takes the classics stolen from the Song Dynasty all day long and starts to let others learn them. After learning, they have to change them into their own, and finally promote them in the Kingdom of Jin.
This old thing is getting wilder and wilder.
But no matter what, the peace talks fell into a strange situation at the beginning.
First of all, as the winner of this battle, Qin Hui adhered to his mission and paid his own price directly from the moment he entered the state.
"My Majesty has said that the Song Dynasty is a country of etiquette. The Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty also submitted a maritime alliance back then, and both parties are brothers.
Although we had some disagreements with each other during this period, why should brothers be so fussy about each other?
As long as the Kingdom of Jin is willing to exchange credentials with the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty also hopes to form a brotherly alliance with the Kingdom of Jin again.
And I am willing to give the rare treasures and rare animals of the Song Dynasty to the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom.
Both sides enjoy the blessings..."
Qin Hui did not directly propose any compensation or compensation. Instead, he proposed it in order to continue talking with the Jin people and hoped to give many treasures to the Jin royal family.
This is indeed... it is indeed a big song.
After hearing these words, many Jin envoys could not help but sneer in their hearts. If Wanyan Xiyin hadn't suppressed them, some of them would have sneered.
Many people behind Qin Hui didn't know Zhao Huan's order, and couldn't help but frowned when they looked at Qin Hui in front of them.
Today's Song Dynasty dare not say that there are no people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but under such a cruel war, the officials in the court are still very tough.
You can talk, you can make peace, you can give money, but the standard is the Tanyuan Alliance.
You call me brother, I will give you 300,000 yuan, and then you open a border market for me to do business and buy your war horses.
You can understand 300,000 as lucky money, or you can understand it as money for selling your life. We generally call this thing venue fee...
But when they looked at Qin Hui who was about to give it away, they felt that this guy had never been a messenger before, didn't understand the rules, or didn't understand who was the winner now.
But before they could think of a suitable way to change Qin Hui's words without damaging their Song Dynasty etiquette, Wanyan Xiyin spoke, and what he said shocked them.
"Forget about these rare treasures, since we are a country of brothers, why should we separate ourselves from each other?
On the contrary, my Majesty said that the late Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty was quite unaccustomed to the country of Jin, so it was better to return to Chang'an of the Song Dynasty as soon as possible so that he could recuperate.
As for the hard work of traveling and traveling, I, the Kingdom of Jin, have nothing to give.
How about sending millions of stones and grain and grass?
A mere piece of food and grass can be regarded as a good relationship with the Song Dynasty! "
Qin Hui, as the representative of the victors, wanted to give things when he came up, while the Jin people, as the representative of the barbarians, not only did not want the old coins and silk, but they also directly wanted to give grain to the Song Dynasty...
This is really strange.
The deputy, veteran Lu Yihao, opened his eyes and looked at Qin Hui, and then at Wanyan Xiyin opposite, seemingly thoughtful.
In terms of qualifications, Qin Hui would not dare to be ahead of Lu Yihao even if he had eight heads.
But this time Zhao Huan needed someone who could stand up to the big beam and someone who could take the blame, so he had no choice but to give in to Lu Yihao.
While everyone was still wondering what was going on in this world, Lu Yihao had already discovered the problem and seemed to understand the thoughts of both parties.
"The officials wanted to imitate the strategy they used to deal with Yang Yao, and used money and treasures to seduce the Jin clan, which fundamentally ruined their character."
"The Jin people, under the guise of winning over people's hearts, destroyed the foundation of the Song Dynasty, gave them food, made brothers, and then wanted all the captured Jin people back.
In this way, the people of our Song Dynasty will definitely be unstable...
I'm afraid this grain is for redemption, and it's not that easy to get.
In addition, the Supreme Emperor... finally sent him out. Why take him back now? Is it going to cause trouble in his heart?
Or do you want the officials to leave a note in the book that your father's death is unclear? "
There was a sneer on Lu Yihao's lips. This is what the envoys of the two countries should have in a confrontation. It was all nonsense before.
"My envoy said this to make a certain family feel guilty. As an elder brother, I, the Song Dynasty, just don't give you gifts. How can I make your country support us even though we are frugal in food and clothing?
This is absolutely impossible.
As for the Supreme Emperor, if the Supreme Emperor is not acclimatized in your country, then I, the Song Dynasty, will naturally take him back.
It's just that the Supreme Emperor is the father of today's official family and was once the king of a country. This ceremony cannot be abolished.
I also ask the Supreme Emperor to hold on for the time being, and we will be ready to rely on rituals and music, etc., and then personally order the army to welcome the Supreme Emperor when he returns south! "
"Of course the etiquette cannot be abolished, but His Majesty's health is really not good now. I'm afraid it won't last long..."
"It doesn't matter. There are only a lot of famous doctors in our Song Dynasty. We sent two or three doctors to diagnose and treat the Supreme Emperor Haosheng. The Supreme Emperor was also the emperor of our Song Dynasty. Naturally, he puts the world first before his own body.
Come to think of it, this golden land is rich in resources, and some medicinal herbs can still be obtained. "
At the critical moment, Lu Yihao took up the topic, and then Wanyan Xiyin didn't know what to say.
He really wanted to say something, the people you sent should take our medicine.
Whose responsibility is it to eat that old man to death?
The two sides once again fell into a stalemate. Both sides were trying to establish friendship under the guise of brotherly alliance. One insisted on giving food and the other insisted on giving treasures.
Neither one wants the other.
The peace talks between the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were not just once or twice. It was really rare for the peace talks to reach this point in the end.
However, the stalemate is not a bad thing for Zhao Huan, because the reform he has been planning for a long time has finally begun.
