Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 551

After seeing Yan Zonghan threatened by force, Zhao Liangsi hurriedly said: "General Zonghan, don't get me wrong. What Ma Kuo meant was that we and the Khitan fought for many years before making peace. However, our two countries have been on good terms with each other since the very beginning. , such a harmonious relationship between the two countries is really rare.”

Wanyan Xiyin on the side said: "Is it plausible for envoy Zhao to say that! The friendly relationship between the two countries is so rare, you and I should cherish it. How about this, I will accompany your envoy to see His Majesty the Emperor later, and ask him Report on the exchange of old coins for Xijing."

So Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin took Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo to the outside of the camp where Emperor Wanyan Aguda lived.

After Wanyan Zonghan entered the account and discussed with the emperor Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Aguda said: "I don't know the two envoys, but no one in the Kingdom of Jin agrees to return Xijing to you. Only His Majesty the Emperor hopes that after this negotiation, Only if we can reconcile with your country forever, I want to return the Xijing land and households to your country, and don't want you to add another one or two years old coins.

But as the lord of the country, His Majesty the Emperor can't help but think of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom to regain Xijing. Therefore, I hope that when you take back Xijing, you Song Dynasty will give you an extra one million taels of yearly coins as labor silver.Only in this way can the soldiers in the army have no complaints. "

Chapter 842 Show off Your Wealth to the Bandit

After Wanyan Zonghan stated the conditions for the transfer of the Kingdom of Jin to Xijing, he asked Zhao Liangsi when he could give an answer.

Zhao Liangsi replied: "This is a big matter. I dare not make decisions without authorization. I still have to send people to report to the court. When the court's order is obtained and returned, the two countries can be handed over."

Therefore, Jin Guo drafted another letter of credence, ordering Wanyan Yinshuke and Yelusong to rush to Bianliang City, Tokyo with Zhao Liangsi and others.

Different from the envoys sent a few times before, Wanyan Yinshu is a younger brother of the Jin Emperor Wanyan Aguda, and one of his most trusted generals.Jin Guo sent such an important minister to Song Dynasty, which showed that they attached great importance to this negotiation.

After being reminded by Zhao Liangsi, the court of the Great Song Dynasty knew that Wanyan Yinshuke's identity was no small matter, and they warmly entertained and cared for him along the way.

After Wanyan Yinshu arrived in Bianliang City, Tokyo, he met with Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty and his ministers, and soon negotiated the handover between the two countries.

After many exchanges and negotiations between the envoys of the two countries, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom finally reached an agreement:

The Song Dynasty obtained the city of Yanjing and the six prefectures of Zhuo, Yi, Tan, Shun, Jing, and Ji and the surrounding 24 counties. The 150 million taels increased to offset the tax revenue of the six states of Yanjing).

The Song Dynasty also obtained Xijing and its surrounding eight prefectures of Wu, Ying, Shuo, Wei, Fengsheng, Guihua, Gui, and Confucianism, at a one-time payment of 100 million taels of silver to the Kingdom of Jin.

After reaching an agreement with the Kingdom of Jin, Song Huizong's monarchs and ministers worried about the long night and dreamy, and immediately arranged for the reception of Yanjing.

Because Yanjing and other places were about to be recovered, the imperial court ordered Hebei and Hedong Xuanfu Envoy Tong Guan and Deputy Xuanfu Envoy Cai You in Xiongzhou to select officials at all levels who would govern Yanshan Road in the future.

The prime minister, Wang Fu, thought that he should be the first to recover the land lost for a hundred years, so he also imitated the Taoist emperor to modify the names of the counties on Yanshan Road.

Before the Yanjing area was taken back, the Emperor Daojun first changed the name of Yanjing to Yanshan Mansion, and the names of other states were also changed to commemorate his martial arts and martial arts.

This guy Wang Fu is imitating others. If it is not his turn to change the name of the state, he will work hard on the name of the county.

At the same time, the Prime Minister Wang Fu suggested to the Emperor Daojun that when the Yanshan Mansion was newly taken back, an important minister of the country should be in charge. Therefore, he recommended Cai You to stay in Yanjing in the future.

Wang Fu's recommendation is not a broad-minded, virtuous appointment.

You know, Wang Fu and Cai You's father, Cai Jing, are political rivals, and Cai You is the new favorite of the Taoist emperor, and there is a great possibility that Wang Fu will replace Wang Fu and serve as prime minister in the future.

Therefore, Wang Fu wanted to take the opportunity to push his rival Cai You to the high mountains and far away Yanshan Mansion, so that he would not be allowed to compete with himself beside the Daojun Emperor.

Furthermore, in the east of Yanshan Mansion there is Zhang Jue of Pingzhou who surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin, in the north there is Xiao Qian of the newly established state of Xi, and in the west there is Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the remnant Liao Dynasty who is always ready to counterattack. In the land, war may break out at any time, and it is definitely not a good place to enjoy peace and happiness at present.

Wang Fu's recommendation of Cai You as the left-behind post in Yanshan Mansion is really malicious.

When Cai You heard the news in Xiongzhou, he was terrified and hurriedly sent a memorial to Emperor Daojun to resign.

In Bianliang City, Tokyo, Grand Master Cai Jing also scolded Wang Fu in his heart, and secretly used methods to prevent the new appointment of his son Cai You.

After receiving Cai You's memorial, Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji was persuaded by Cai You to no longer consider appointing him to stay in Yanshan Mansion, but ordered Cai You to recommend a suitable candidate to replace him.

Cai You hurriedly recommended Wang Anzhong, a native of Zhongshan Prefecture in Heshuo, as the appeasement envoy on Yanshanfu Road. The reason was that Wang Anzhong was from the north and was familiar with the situation in the north.

Prime Minister Wang Fu secretly calculated that Cai You could not succeed, so he had to choose to make concessions to Cai Jing and his son, expressing that he was also very satisfied with Wang Anzhong's choice.

Therefore, Wang Anzhong was awarded the posts of Qingyuan Army Jiedu envoy, Yanshan Fulu appeasement envoy, and Zhiyanshan mansion by the imperial court, and he was about to rush to Xiongzhou to take up his post.

At the same time, Guo Yaoshi, a general of the Liao Kingdom, was appointed as Tongzhi Yanshan Prefecture because of his contribution to Zhuozhou and defeating the Liao Army in Yongqing County.

The Great Song Dynasty's re-use of Guo Yaoshi was also to take advantage of his and his ever-victorious army's familiarity with the Yanjing area, with the intention of taking over Yandi as soon as possible.

As an artist emperor, Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji always has some fantastic ideas in his head.

Before Wang Anzhong, the appeasement envoy of Yanshanfu Road, left Bianliang City in Tokyo, Emperor Zhao Ji, the Taoist emperor, specially selected a large number of rare jade wares, gold, stone, calligraphy, painting and calligraphy from his internal treasury and handed them over to Wang Anzhong.

After the Emperor Daojun ordered Wang Anzhong to go to the Yanshan Mansion, he filled the appeasement mansion with these utensils. The purpose was to show the Jin people how rich the Song Dynasty was.

On the one hand, Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji asked Zhao Liangsi and others to compare pennies and pennies during the negotiations with the Kingdom of Jin, and cried poorly in order to pay less to take back the Yanyun area. On the other hand, he asked Wang Anzhong to show off to the people of the Kingdom of Jin after the negotiation was over.

This is not to slap the Jin people face to face, telling them that Da Song actually has a lot of money, but he just doesn't want to give it to you.You just gave up the land of Yanyun for so little money, it's really easy to spend.

Song Huizong's stupid behavior is simply equivalent to a rich man showing off his wealth in front of robbers, and at the same time arrogantly calling the other party a poor bumpkin, which is completely naked humiliation and provocation.

Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and others rushed to Yanjing City again to negotiate and coordinate with the Kingdom of Jin in accordance with the order of the imperial court, and cooperated with the Song Army to take over the land of Yan.

When Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and others went to Zhuozhou City, they met Gao Qingyi, an envoy sent by the Kingdom of Jin.

The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin pointed out that a large number of Yanjing residents have now fled into the Song Dynasty.According to the agreement between the two countries, they should have belonged to the Jin Kingdom.When the Jin army retreats in the future, these residents of Yanjing City should all be taken away.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Jin hoped that the Song Dynasty could repatriate all these refugees.

Land and population are the most important resources for a country. Zhao Liangsi and others are unwilling to hand over the population of Yanjing City to Jin Guo to take away, so they deal with Jin Guo under the pretext that their status as refugees is chaotic and cannot be counted, or that it takes time to exchange official documents. The envoys tried to delay until the withdrawal of the Jin army.

The people of the Kingdom of Jin were naturally dissatisfied with this, and the two sides debated fiercely, insisting on their own opinions, and the negotiation came to a deadlock.

Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Xiyin and others of the Jin Kingdom took turns to negotiate the matter with Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo, and declared that the Song Dynasty would not repatriate the officials and refugees from the Liao Kingdom who fled south to the Song Dynasty, and the Jin army would not withdraw from Yanjing City Walk.

Ma Kuo believed that it was April, and it was impossible for the Jin army to stay in Yanjing for a long time. As long as there was a delay, the Jin army would withdraw and return north.The Jin Kingdom's request to repatriate refugees can be ignored.

Therefore, Zhao Liangsi prevaricated Wanyan Zonghan and others on the grounds that the Song Dynasty had a vast territory and it was difficult for Yanjing refugees to find them after they fled to the Song Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Yan Xiyin took out the roster of Liao officials who fled to the south, saying that it might be difficult to find and repatriate the unknown, but these Liao officials with surnames fled south and took refuge in the Song court, so it is not difficult to find them.For these officials, they must be repatriated.

After Zhao Liangsi reported the matter to the Taiwei Tong Guan in Xiongzhou City, Tong Guan had no choice but to hand over some Liao officials who had fled to Xiongzhou City to the Jin Army, and the matter was barely settled.

Jin Jun finally agreed to withdraw.

Chapter 843 Yu Wenxu's Poisonous Scheme

After the Kingdom of Jin decided to hand over the Yanjing area to the Song Dynasty, Emperor Wanyan Aguda summoned Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and others in the military tent, and said to them: "When the envoys go back, remember to send a message to the emperor of your country, and wish him good health.

In addition, please tell him one more thing, that is, our army is still attacking the remnants of the Liao Kingdom. I want to divide the army into two groups, one to attack Xiao Qian who is entrenched in Lulongling, and the other to attack Emperor Tianzuo who is entrenched in Xijing. Recover the country.

It's just that our army is running out of food and grass, and I want to borrow another [-] shi of rice grain from your country. Please ask your country to transport these grains to Tanzhou and return to Huazhou. "

When Zhao Liangsi saw that the Jin army was begging for food, he replied, "Your Majesty, this summer is about to enter a rainy season, and the roads will be difficult for vehicles and horses. I'm afraid the food and grass will not arrive."

Wanyan Aguda said: "The road is difficult, which can better reflect your sincerity. Our army has regained the land for your country, and has not yet given up because of the difficult road and the enemy's occupation of dangerous terrain. How can your country be afraid of difficulties? Your two countries must We have been friends for a hundred years, and I hope that your country will not be too fussy about some small matters of food and grass."

In order to take back Yanjing smoothly, Zhao Liangsi dared not refuse, so he had to promise Wanyan Aguda to provide one hundred thousand shi of food for the Jin army attacking the Liao army.Seeing that Wanyan Aguda was satisfied, Zhao Liangsi took the opportunity to ask him when he could hand over Yanjing City.

Wanyan Aguda replied that Song Guo could send officials to Yanjing City to take over on the [-]th, and the Yanjing garrison in the future would first station at the south bank of the Lugou River and wait for a few days. When the Jin army gave instructions, the Song army could pass The river enters the city.
