Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

Just listen to what Wanyan Aguda said above: "Yenjing is prosperous, and an annual fortune of 600 million is enough."

Hearing this number, Zhao Liangsi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and the buzzing in his head stopped for a while. "Six million?" He thought he heard wrongly, so he asked again.Seeing Wanyan Agu nodding, he couldn't help but fall silent.

I remember that during the Chanyuan Alliance, Prime Minister Kou Zhun once said to Cao Lili, who was in charge of the negotiations: "If you dare to exceed 300 million yuan per year, I will kill your dog's head!" Now that the Jin Kingdom has asked for 600 million yuan per year, how dare I answer?Zhao Liangsi was stunned on the spot for a while and could not make a sound for a while.

The Jin general Nian Shan on the side said: "Yanjing was conquered by the Jin Dynasty, and it should be returned to our country. It is only because of the friendship between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty that your majesty was willing to give it to the Southern Dynasty. If you don't understand, please ask the envoy to return to the court to report it." Ming, your old emperor, the Song and Jin families have broken off diplomatic relations. If you want Yanjing, you can raise an army to take it. I will lead the army and wait for you."

Zhao Liangsi was depressed when he was threatened like this, but he had nothing to do. He only said that he was a low-key person and could not make the decision. He had to go back to Bianjing to meet with the Holy Emperor before he could make a decision.So Wanyan Aguda arranged for the Jin envoy Li Jing to return to the court with Zhao Liangsi to discuss the matter.

After Zhao Liangsi left, Nianhan below asked: "I have something unclear, please let your majesty clarify it. At this time, the land of Yanyun belongs to our country, and the Southern Dynasty is weak and no one dares to compete with our country. Why do we need to take Yanyun away?" Will the land of Beijing still belong to the Southern Dynasty?"

Wanyan Agu laughed and said: "It is precisely because of the weakness of the Southern Dynasty that I want to return the land of Yanjing to him. Now my country, Jin Dynasty, has been using troops for many years, and the national treasury is gradually exhausted. Although the Liao Kingdom is almost destroyed, Emperor Tian Zuo still exists, and the country Zuo is still alive. It’s not over yet. If we let it recuperate, it will cause trouble in the future. If we lead an army to pursue it, our military resources will be difficult to sustain. In addition, Xixia is still alive, but it may not have the heart of a tiger or a wolf."

"If there is an enmity with the Southern Dynasty at this time and the three kingdoms are connected, the great wealth will be in danger. Now I have obtained all the coins and silk of the people of Yanjing, so what can I do if I leave the empty city to him? Instead, I will get a large amount of coins and silk, filling the national treasury. . When I slowly destroy the Liao Kingdom and pacify Xixia, I can free up my hands to argue with the Southern Dynasties. That is a small area for Yanjing, isn't it easy to capture it?"

After listening to Wanyan Aguda's analysis, Nianhan couldn't help but admire him and said: "Your Majesty's considerations are far-reaching, and they are beyond the reach of my ministers."

The plans of the Jin Kingdom's monarchs and ministers have been decided here, and Zhao Liangsi on the other side has also returned to the court with the Jin envoy Li Jing.

After entering the Jinluan Hall, Li Jing presented his credentials, then stood aside and looked at Song Huizong on the dragon throne.This extremely impolite behavior made Wang Fu, the prime minister on the side, dissatisfied and yelled: "Envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, why don't you kneel down when you come to see me as a pilgrim? You are so rude!"

Li Jing rolled his eyes at him and said: "I am here as an envoy to represent my Dajin Emperor. I Dajinxiong is in the north, and you in the Southern Dynasty are facing the Liao Kingdom, and you still have to pay money and silk every year. Now All the land of the Liao Kingdom belongs to me, Dajin, so I, Dajin, belong to the superior state, so there is no reason for the envoys of the superior state to kneel down and worship the king of the lower state!"

Emperor Huizong above heard Li Jing's words and was not happy, but he was afraid of offending the Jin envoy and adding unnecessary tricks to capture Yanjing, so he stopped Wang Fu and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The Jin envoy is a guest from afar, so don't worry." Common etiquette.”

At this time, Zhao Liangsi was about to go on an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin. Wanyan Aguda reported the matters mentioned in detail and asked Emperor Huizong to make a decision.

When Emperor Huizong was silent in thought, Prime Minister Wang Fu came out again and said: "The Jin people went back on their word. At the time of the original alliance, there was no agreement on taxation. Moreover, our army attacked Yanjing twice. Although it did not achieve any success, it still How can you say that our court has violated the covenant? Your Majesty will never agree!"

Emperor Huizong was upset when he heard this, and thought to himself, you were the one who asked Tong Guan to go to Yanjing in the first place, but the result was a huge defeat. If you had succeeded and successfully captured Yanjing, what would happen today.Now that the Jin envoy is coming to court, you are obstructing him on both sides, but you don’t know what you want to do?So I felt even more unhappy.He said in a cold voice: "What the Jin people want is nothing more than some coins and silk. Our country has good relations with Jin, so it would be nice to give him some extraneous things. I have made up my mind, no need to say more."

Li Jing, who was below, listened to Song Huizong's words and quickly said: "In that case, please give your Majesty the taxes from Yanjing last year to our country first to show your sincerity."

This statement was extremely rude, and the whole court was in an uproar. However, Emperor Huizong was upset and just wanted to escape from the Jinluan Palace quickly, so he said: "Okay, okay, don't hurt the harmony between you and us because of this. "

After he retired from the court, Emperor Huizong wrote a letter of credence and handed it to Zhao Liangsi, ordering him to send Jin again to negotiate with Wanyan Agu.All the requests in the Jin Kingdom's official letter were agreed to, except that the annual tax of 600 million was too much, and the imperial approval only allowed 20, which would be negotiated separately.

Zhao Liangsi returned to the Kingdom of Jin and met with Wanyan Aguda. He explained Huizong's intentions and said: "Everyone in my court agrees with your Majesty's request. But for such trivial matters as Ying, Ping, and Luan, why don't your Majesty be magnanimous and return them all?" What about my court?"

After Wanyan Agu inquired about this, he looked at the generals below, and then suddenly smiled.Then he felt that he had lost his composure, so he suppressed his laughter and said seriously: "Luan and Yingzhou are the important towns of the country, and Pingzhou has been promoted to Nanjing, the accompanying capital of the country. How can a country give up its capital as a gift? If the general is passed, I will Where is Dai Jin’s face? Never mention this matter again!”

After saying that, the topic changed: "To show Dajin's sincerity, I am willing to reduce the annual endowment of Yanjing from 600 million to one million. If not, then I will personally take the troops south and go to Bianjing to get it for myself!"

Zhao Liangsi saw Wanyan Aguda's resolute words and knew that the matter was hopeless, so he said helplessly: "I personally approved it for 20, but the million you requested is very different. I dare not If you are arbitrary, you can only report it to the court and wait for a reply."

Wanyan Aguda said: "In this case, I will allow you half a month to travel from here to Bianjing. Half a month is enough. If there is still no reply after half a month, I will send my troops south to meet you and other swordsmen!"

These words made Zhao Liangsi sweat profusely. He hurriedly bid farewell to Wanyan Aguda, returned to Xiongzhou, and ordered Pegasus to carry the message to Bianjing.

A few days later, the news was sent back to Bianjing. Emperor Huizong overcame all objections and agreed to the Jin Kingdom's request. In addition to the 50 taels of silver silk originally promised to the Jin Kingdom, he paid an additional 100 million yuan in "tax payment". ".

After receiving the reply from the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Agu sent an envoy to Bianjing with an oath. The oath said:

In the seventh year of Wei Tianfu's reign, at the age of Guimao, on the fourth day of the fourth month, Shenshuo, and on the eighth day of Xinmao, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty wrote a letter to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty:

Only faith and righteousness can take advantage of the world.Use the mind of the gods to eliminate the harm of heaven and earth.Yesterday, the leader of the Khitan Kingdom fell into disgrace and the people fell into disgrace. He used his will to raise the army, and the matter was to punish him.Your dynasty sent envoys to plan the voyage. If you merged with Liao Kingdom in the future, you would like to return Youyan's hometown, which was agreed at that time.The one who is here will personally lead the troops, and the whole Yan side will not attack.Shang Niangu wanted to be good, so she made an appointment with Yanjing, Zhuo, Yi, Tan, Shun, Jing, Ji and other counties and the households under her jurisdiction.

This letter reads: "Because the Liao Kingdom is still owned by Da Jin, I have to pay Khitan 20 taels of silver and 30 pieces of silk. In addition to the annual tax profits from Yanjing, only one cent out of five or six cents will be counted. The money is 100 million guanwen, which is worth looking for. It is transported to the head of Nanjing for delivery all year round. The color number has been recorded in the back-and-forth letters of credence, and [-] green alums are handed over every year. Houses close to each other are not allowed to invade each other. Thieves escape, and each other There is no order to stop, nor is it allowed to keep close spies or lure people on the side. If the thieves are caught together with the stolen goods, each will be convicted and punished according to the laws of the dynasty. Even if the thieves are not caught, but they are traced everywhere, compensation will be kept. If there is a violent theft, Or if they are separated from each other, the troops must be reported to the officials to file lawsuits along the border. The borders of the two countries are defended by separate orders. The interior of the border between the two dynasties remains the same as before, and the roads are not allowed to be blocked. In the future, there will be no restrictions on people coming and going in different lands. Resistance. What you value is long-lasting happiness, and the common people will be protected forever. If you violate this agreement, heaven and earth will observe, the gods will be in disaster, your descendants will not be born, and the country will be in danger." This dynasty wants to harmonize all nations and show its integrity, so it and the Yan land Together with the oath.If you disobey it, heaven and earth will observe, the gods will be in disaster, your descendants will not be born, and the country will be in danger.If you change your mind, you will make a true promise, and you will not be determined by what you give.

At this point, the Song Dynasty united with the Jin Dynasty to conquer the Liao Dynasty. The Jin Dynasty returned Yanjing south of the Taihang Mountains to the Song Dynasty, and the six prefectures of Zhuo, Yi, Tan, Shun, Jing, and Ji returned to the Song Dynasty, and the military towns of You, Yun, Ying, and Shuo were , the Jin Kingdom used the excuse to be connected with the remnants of the Liao Kingdom and would not return it for the time being.Such a decision had been made, and the Song Dynasty had no choice but to agree.
