One Piece of Song Dynasty

After Wang Lun arrived in the Kingdom of Jin, he met Yu Wenxuzhong first. The two went out to eat together. Yu Wenxuzhong told Wang Lun the news about the death of the two saints. Wang Lun was in tears for a while. After dinner, the two returned to Wang Lun's place. At Guanyi, I saw wounded soldiers of the Jin army who had returned from defeat everywhere on the road. Yu Wenxuzhong told Wang Lun that the Jin army on the Western Front was defeated and returned. Wang Lun immediately danced with joy.

The two of them walked across the street and just entered the hall. They couldn't help but gasp when they entered the door. It turned out that Wan Yanchang was sitting in the post house covered in dust. Wang Lun was smart and saluted quickly, took out the gift list and said: "Wang Lun pays homage to His Highness Wanyan. This is the gift list from our Lord, Your Majesty."

"Why was Qin Hui dismissed?" Wan Yanchang looked at him coldly. Wang Lun was secretly surprised: "How do I know that the prince heard that your country wanted to be on good terms with me and immediately sent me down to see the king? Before leaving, Mr. Qin even entertained me at a banquet and repeatedly told me to prepare generous gifts for all the kings."

"When you meet my great emperor, I hope that Wang Xianggong can still be so eloquent. The success or failure of the peace negotiation will be in one fell swoop. After meeting my great emperor, you immediately go back and inform your prince. Okay, you can avoid it for now. I and Mr. Yuwen We have something to talk about." Wan Yanchang believed that Wang Lun did not know the reason for Qin Hui's resignation.

Wang Lun bowed and said, "It goes without saying that your Highness just looks at it."

After Wang Lun returned to his room, Wan Yanchang said: "Xiangong Yuwen and I have known each other for a long time. We should know that most Jin people like Nianhan and Wushu are war-loving. I hope for peace between the north and the south. Now that Jiangnan refuses to negotiate peace, I will use The war is about to end, and I hope Mr. Yuwen can help me in this matter."

"I may be of more use to the king than that. Now that the emperor is seriously ill and after his death, palace battles are inevitable. Although Wu Shu is with your highness at the moment, in the long run, he is your real rival, so I am alive. It may be more useful to His Highness." Yu Wenxuzhong simply opened the skylight and spoke frankly. Wan Yanchang stared at him and nodded: "Mr. Yuwen is indeed a great talent."

"Envoy Hong Hao is the real talent. Why don't you transfer the commander to your side?" Yu Wenxuzhong took the opportunity to recommend Hong Hao. Wan Yanchang thought for a moment and agreed.

It is both ridiculous and unbelievable to say that before Wang Lun met the Emperor of Jin, Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng had just been beaten, and he was beaten by generals such as Nianhan and Wushu. It turned out that Nianhan, Wushu and others were upset after returning from the defeat on the Western Front. When they saw that Jin Taizong secretly used the treasury to repair the palace at a lavish expense, they followed the rules of the Jurchen clan and pulled Wanyan Sheng off the throne and whipped him. , and then knelt down to apologize to Wanyan Sheng.

When Wang Lunlai came outside the palace, he saw Jin Taizong, who was in his fifties, having been beaten to half his buttocks and dared not sit down. He was discussing the situation of the war on the Western Front with the civil and military ministers in an ill manner. Wu Shu pitifully introduced that the Jin army was killed by Wu Jie this time, with sixty-seven out of ten casualties, and food and grass could not be provided. The sneak attack was supposed to be successful, but it ran into the enemy's reinforcements, and they returned in embarrassment, which was not worth the gain. However, Wu Shu still insisted that if he wanted to conquer the south of the Yangtze River, he must first open up the northwest and requested to lead troops to attack Sichuan again. Wan Yanchang pointed out that it is time to reconsider the strategy towards Song Dynasty. The envoy from the State of Song was outside the palace, requesting an audience with your Majesty. Jin Taizong nodded feebly, and Wan Yanchang asked the envoys from the Song Dynasty to visit him.

"Wang Lun, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, met the Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom." Under the attention of everyone, Wang Lun came in and knelt down to salute Taizong of the Jin Dynasty. Wu Shu said sternly at the side: "What good does it do to me if the Song Dynasty seeks peace?"

"Your Highness, please find out who is asking for peace now." Wang Lun stood up and retorted unceremoniously, "Besides, asking for peace will not be of any benefit to Your Highness, but it will be of great benefit to the Emperor."

"What's good for the emperor is good for the Jin Dynasty. What benefits can the peace negotiation bring to the Kingdom of Jin?" Wu Shu persisted. Wang Lun said slyly: "I can't tell His Highness what the benefits are. I can only tell the Emperor."

Wu Shu, Yu Wenxuzhong and Wan Yanchang were all stunned and couldn't help but look at Jin Taizong. Jin Taizong nodded feebly, and Wang Lun walked up to Jin Taizong and whispered in his ear: "If the north and south are connected well, the benefits will go to the emperor; if the north and south use troops, the benefits will go to the generals, and the emperor will bear all the troubles alone. You don't understand yet."

"Why is this?" Jin Taizong asked in surprise. Wu Shu couldn't help but get angry when he saw Wang Lun lying in Jin Taizong's ear and whispering. Wan Yanchang and Yu Wenxu secretly laughed, thinking that Wang Lun was too courageous. Wang Lun said in a low voice: "It's unclear. Even if your Jin Kingdom wins and kills one thousand enemies and loses eight hundred, who will suffer the loss? It's not the Great Emperor. But who will the spoils belong to? And they won't all go into the pockets of the generals. So, Anyone who advises the emperor to use troops is doing so for his own personal gain."

When Wu Shu saw Jin Taizong nodded slightly, he glared at Wang Lun and became more and more angry, while Wan Yanchang and Yu Wenxuzhong watched in secret. Wang Lun continued to whisper: "It will be different once the north and south are connected. All the money will belong to you alone, the emperor. They don't have a cent, so they just look at you. Emperor, you weigh it yourself, yes." That’s not the truth.”

Jin Taizong was enlightened, nodded frequently for a long time, and made up his mind to let Wan Yanchang preside over the peace negotiations with the Song Dynasty.

Wanyanchang finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Wushu shouted angrily. Jin Taizong thought, can you just use the rules of the clan and tribe to beat the emperor? So he ordered Wu Shu to lead his troops south to support Liu Yu. Wu Shu had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Wang Lun and Yu Wenxuzhong had just returned to Guanyi, Qizhou, Hebei with Wan Yanchang, when Yu Wenxuzhong received news that the Kingdom of Jin had decided to send Li Yongshou, an important minister, as the peace envoy to return home with Wang Lun. Wang Lun high-fived: "Haha, you guys who are literate in Chinese and Chinese, how could you let me, who is so clueless, achieve such a great achievement?"

Yu Wenxu was in a state of embarrassment when a veiled woman suddenly came in. Yu Wenxu recognized Queen Xing and hurriedly greeted her. Wang Lun was even more shocked and had already knelt down: "I, Wang Lun, are lucky enough to finally meet the queen. How is the queen's life in Qizhou?"

It has been two years since Queen Xing followed Wan Yanchang and Queen Mother Wei to settle in Qizhou. Although it belongs to Hebei, the climate and eating habits are similar to those of Kaifeng, and life is quite comfortable. empress

Wang Lun stood up and frowned: "I only returned to the Song Dynasty for a short time. I only know that the prince came to power through a maritime mutiny. Three years ago, the emperor and the prince were chased to the sea by Jin soldiers. At that time, the emperor only had three thousand guards and hundreds of them. The prince took this opportunity to mutiny. The reason why the prince's mutiny was successful was that a group of talents had gathered around the prince at that time, such as Zhang Xiaochun, Zheyan Zhi, Ma Kuo and others. The most important thing was that there were still many talented people around the prince. With the support of Empress Zhu and all the empresses.”
