The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 111 Are officials so cruel?
Wanyan Sheng never expected it.

Zong Han would actually agree to peace talks. Last night he was still thinking about how to persuade Zong Han to be bloodthirsty and warlike.

During today's discussion, not only did they not insist on raising troops against Song Dynasty, they even took the initiative to propose a "long-term strategy": "I think the Song people are right. No matter how rich they are, they only make it for us. They can take it anytime they want." , why bother to use any troops? If we raise them well, we will raise the treasury of our Daikin well."

Wanyan Sheng was both happy and worried.

I'm glad I finally don't have to reason with this fool.

What worries me is that something is wrong with this fool.

Wanyan Sheng is good at planning and suspicious, his city is very deep, and he is especially good at observing people's hearts.

The change in Wanyan Zonghan's attitude made him vaguely feel that the Song people must have given him enough benefits in private.

After listening to Sima Pu's terms for peace talks: 500 million taels of gold per year, tea, silk, porcelain, countless cattle, sheep, mules and horses, and the cession of land is even more grand. The map of the Song Dynasty can be displayed, and you can choose at will except Kaifeng.

Is this a peace talk?

This is clearly selling out the country and buying it for zero yuan!
Before Wanyan Sheng could express his stance, Wanyan Zongwang was the first to object: "The empress of the Song Dynasty is as cunning as a wild fox in the mountains. I, Zongwang, will not believe a word of these peace negotiation terms."

Wanyan Zonghan wanted to jump out and yell, but Wanyan Xiyin pulled him back and winked, indicating that he didn't need to say more.

There is such a contrast in attitude before and after, and he behaves so impatiently, it is inevitable to make people suspicious.

Wanyan Sheng frowned for a long time and finally said, "Are you trying to delay the attack?"

Sima Pu looked at Wanyan Sheng with a simple and honest expression, and Nuonuo asked: "Your Majesty, do you think... our Song Dynasty has given too much?"

Wanyan Sheng was stunned. This was what he was thinking, but he couldn't say that. There was no reason for the robber to think that he had robbed too much.

When it came to using troops, Wanyan Zonghan got excited: "What's the point of delaying the troops? Just those things from the Song Dynasty that allowed them to delay for three to five years, so what?"

"Underestimating the enemy is easy to defeat!" Wanyan Zongwang snorted coldly.

Zong Han couldn't help it this time: "Second Prince, were you frightened by that girl last time you were at Kaifeng City?"

Seeing that a dispute was about to break out, Wanyan Sheng hurriedly intervened: "You all should say less, and you are not afraid of others laughing at you."

Seeing that the two of them were no longer arguing, Wanyan Sheng suddenly looked at Prince Yun Zhao Kai, who was standing aside without saying a word, and suddenly smiled and said: "Since you, the Song Dynasty, are interested in interfering with each other, in my opinion, Prince Yun will stay in Huining Mansion. Let’s stay for a while.”

As soon as he finished speaking, King Yun Zhao Kai was dumbfounded and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, the two countries are at war and will not be killed."

Wanyan Sheng explained with a smile: "I'm just staying for a while. What do you mean by Zan Bu Zhan? It's serious!"

Sima Pu wanted to help, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Wanyan Sheng: "Sima Xianggong, don't say any more. If even King Yun refuses to stay for a while, I can't believe you." It’s the intention of the Song Dynasty’s peace talks.”

Seeing this situation, Zhao Kai's genes were instantly activated, and he cried bitterly like an aggrieved child. Sima Pu was afraid that he would talk nonsense, so he quickly comforted him and said: "Your Highness, don't panic. We are just staying for a while. We will wait for you." When all the things promised to His Majesty Jin Guo are completed, I will take His Highness back to Kaifeng."

Wanyan Zonghan also stepped forward and hugged Zhao Kai, who was a little thinner than him: "You are like a girl, how much are you crying? When your girl arrives, marry me, you will be my uncle, how can I not treat you kindly?" you?"

Wanyan Xiyin quickly helped: "That's right, that's right. We live in the Marshal's house. I can always discuss Han studies with you and make progress together, right?"

Zhao Kai raised his aggrieved little face and was about to thank him, but he heard Yan Zongwang snort: "Are you starting to get married now? I think King Yun should be left to me to keep an eye on him, so as not to cause any accidents. "

Wanyan Sheng weighed it again and again, and finally handed King Yun to Wanyan Zongwang and asked him to take him back to his house.

Before Sima Pu left Huining Mansion, he was invited to attend the grand ceremony held by the Jin Dynasty Hall for King Yun Zhao Kai.Sheep-taking ceremony!
He took off his shirt, put on a sheepskin, and was led by Wanyan Sheng to crawl three times in front of Taizu Agu's tablet to show his surrender.

"This sheep-taking ceremony is an ancient ritual of our Jurchen tribe. A surrender needs to go through this ceremony before it can be regarded as true surrender. Originally, you officials had to come to perform this ceremony, but thinking of her daughter, I will ask your majesty to let Yun surrender. The king takes his place.”

When Wanyan Xiyin sent the envoy away, he explained to Sima Pu: "It's only mid-April now, and until spring next year, if you all comply with the agreement, our matter will be settled. If not, then I, Dajin, will An iron cavalryman will kill no one with a sword."

As soon as he finished speaking, the neatly organized Tiefutu outside Huining Mansion shouted in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Sima Pu took a long breath, cupped his hands and said, "I will never break the contract!"

Wanyan Xiyin then smiled and held up his hands: "Sima Xianggong, have a good trip!"

After the mission had traveled dozens of miles, the officials accompanying them wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads: "Sima Xianggong, have we completed the mission assigned by the officials this time?"

Sima Pu sighed: "If we postpone the war until next spring, it should be considered completed."

"But...if I take Prince Yun as hostage, the officials won't punish me, right?"

Sima Pu let out a long sigh and turned to look at the white mountains and black waters behind him: "I was also thinking about this a few days ago, but just now, I figured it out."

The official looked at Sima Pu as if he was asking for an answer.

Sima Pu laughed sarcastically: "Before the mission, the officials suddenly asked King Yun to accompany him and serve as the deputy chief of the mission. They said it was for experience. At that time, I thought that the officials could not trust the truth, so they asked the royal family to supervise the envoy. But this trip Come on, King Yun didn’t know the purpose of the official’s trip, and he complained quite a bit…”

Time goes back half a decade ago.

When the mission approached Huining Mansion, Zhao Kai listened to Sima Pu's instructions to the accompanying officials: "When joining the peace talks at Huining Mansion, the Jin people will do whatever they ask for."

Zhao Kai was quite unhappy, and even expressed his disdain for Zhao Fujin unabashedly in front of Sima Pu: "If my father were still in power, he would never do such a thing that would disgrace his power and humiliate the country. My fourth sister, When I was a child, I was weak and afraid of getting into trouble, but now that I am the king, my temper remains unchanged, and the Song Dynasty is in danger!"

Sima Pu advised him to be cautious, but Zhao Kai seemed fearless: "When I return to the court, I must inform my father about this trip."

Sima Pu smiled helplessly.

Now thinking about all the things in the past, Sima Pu smiled and said: "With the intelligence of the officials, how could they not know the tricks used by the Jin people, which are to either hold the prince as a pledge, or to take the slaughterer as a pledge, so the officials asked King Yun to travel thousands of miles , traveling with the mission, why?”

The official was stunned and asked in a low voice: "Did the officials do this on purpose? Did they just want to keep Prince Yun in Huining Mansion?"

Sima Pu glanced at him sideways: "Do you remember the carving on Li Bangyan's back?"

The official thought for a moment and said, "I've heard a little bit about it."

"Do you know what words are carved on the back?"

The official shook his head.

"The power of God is unpredictable!" Sima Pu said, waving his long sleeves: "Let's set off and rush back to Kaifeng as soon as possible to resume our mission!"

The official was stunned in place, and suddenly remembered that he was on duty at Longde Palace a few months ago. At that time, Zhao Fujin had just ascended the throne. Outside Longde Palace, the harem concubines, a group of princes and some unsighted relatives were noisy. I want to see the Supreme Emperor.King Yun Zhao Kai's attitude at that time...

The official suddenly felt a chill in his neck, pulled his collar, and quickly followed the team, shivering, muttering in his heart: "Are officials so cruel?"
