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

In Akihito Palace, withered bananas can be seen everywhere.

Wanyan Zongwang couldn't understand why such "weeds" were not removed and allowed to embellish the palace garden so desolately since it was the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty.

"Oh, my mother likes bananas. These were grown during her lifetime."

Wanyan Zongwang nodded and sighed in his heart: "Filial piety!"

Entering the hall, Chun Xia has prepared the highest etiquette for entertaining guests at Akihito Palace: hot pot!

The only person accompanying him was Gao Chong.

Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and others all had families, and they were called to work overtime as bodyguards on the first day of the first lunar month... Zhao Fujin felt that he could not be a shady boss.

Forget about Li Bangyan, Li Gang and others, if Wanyan Zongwang goes berserk, the senior officials of the Song Dynasty will be wiped out directly.

Therefore, Gao Chong is the best companion.

He is naive and has no interest in the political situation. No matter what he talks about, he will hear it in one ear and out the other, and will never take it to heart.

Secondly, if Wanyan Zongwang dares to suddenly go berserk if he is brave, he can just cook the pig head meat.

As for Gao Mu, she couldn't stay in her own house a month ago and moved directly to Yue Fei's house. She got along very well with her mother-in-law, and the two old sisters talked happily.

Hearing Zhao Fujin's voice, the prince who was lying on the side got up, wagging his tail, limping and wanted to go out to greet him. Before he could take two steps, Gao Chong pressed his head to the ground: "Prince , competing for favor is wrong.”

As soon as Zhao Fujin entered the hall, he saw Gao Chong pressing the prince's head and frowned: "What are you doing?"

Gao Chong raised his head, a smile spread all over his young and handsome face. He pressed his hand on the prince's dog's head and began to dance up and down: "I'm playing with the prince."

Seeing the prince's aggrieved and grumbling look, Zhao Fujin smiled silently and said, "Everyone, sit down."

Gao Chong stood up, stepped forward to help Zhao Fujin and said with a smile, "Mother Jin, sit down first."

Wanyan Zongwang, who was following Zhao Fujin, felt numb all over when he heard this, and his face became complicated. He didn't know the joy or sorrow: "Your Majesty, this... your son is so old?"

Zhao Fujin was stunned, turned to look at Wanyan Zongwang, and then chuckled: "Don't you know him?"

Wanyan Zongwang then looked at Gao Chong carefully and was suddenly startled: "Changshan Gao Erlang?"

Gao Chong straightened his chest, raised his head, and said arrogantly: "I'll kill you with my silver skills! I'll kill the living girl! Wanyan Loushi... If it weren't for Han Shizhong and Yue Fei's troubles, I would be alone You can also cut!"

Wanyan Zongwang smiled awkwardly and said, "But why is your surname Gao?"

Gao Chong scratched his head and wondered why Wanyan Zongwang's focus was so strange.
Shouldn't I express my admiration for my own bravery?

"Ah... then... what should my last name be?"

"Shouldn't my last name be Zhao?"

"Ahem...sit down, everyone!" Zhao Fujin coughed twice, asked the two of them to sit down, and then called Chunxia to serve the dishes.

After three rounds of drinking, Gao Chong felt bored. The second prince of the Jin Kingdom had no interest in his own incomparable bravery. Instead, he chatted with Jin's mother about dry and boring topics, such as surrendering or not surrendering, making peace or not. and.

When Gao Chong was full of wine and food, he took the wine cup and fed the prince some wine. Seeing the prince grinning fiercely, Gao Chong couldn't help laughing.

Chun Xia, who was waiting on the side, frowned and poked Gao Chong with a look of disgust, telling him to pay attention to the situation.

Gao Chong glared at Chun Xia with dissatisfaction. Unexpectedly, Chun Xia's watery eyes stared even wider. Gao Chong was timid and sat upright again, staring at the incense burner in the hall. Wandering far away.

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Fujin tapped his finger lightly on the table: "But I have a few requirements."

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

The reason why Wanyan Zongwang was captured and came to Kaifeng City, holding Li Bangyan for a day and not wanting to wait any longer to see Zhao Fujin, was not because he was desperate and wanted to surrender to the Song Dynasty, but because he wanted to make a last-ditch effort for Dajin and pray for peace. !
Now that the main force has been wiped out in one battle, in the next dozen or even decades, let alone going south to invade the Song Dynasty, they will dominate the world.It is already extremely difficult to keep the current vested interests. As long as Zhao Fujin sends troops for the Northern Expedition, in less than half a year, the Jin Kingdom will have to retreat to the white mountains and black waters to return to a life of fishing and hunting.

It's not that Wanyan Zongwang couldn't change from extravagance to frugality, but that he couldn't bear what his father had created, and his second generation would perish!

Therefore, there was only one way before him, which was to pray for peace with the Song Dynasty. As long as Zhao Fujin did not send troops to the Northern Expedition, Wanyan Zongwang felt that Wanyan Sheng could stabilize the situation in the Jin Kingdom.

"First: comprehensive trade! Second: consistent laws! Third: send Wanyan Quan to Kaifeng as a pledge."

Wanyan Zongwang was dumbfounded and confirmed again and again: "That's all?"

Zhao Fujin nodded.

What about professing homage?What about paying tribute?And what about the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that the Song Dynasty cherished so much?
Wanyan Zongwang was prepared to use these bargaining chips for negotiation, but Zhao Fujin didn't even mention any of them.

Zhao Fujin chuckled and said: "It's okay to be a vassal. For you Jin people, today you can kneel down and call me daddy, but tomorrow when your wings are strong, you can be a traitor. I don't want to admit such a son."

Wanyan Zongwang's face turned red and he didn't know how to argue.

In the past few decades, the Jin people have no regard for credibility and have swept across East Asia with the attitude that whoever is stronger has the right. This is already known to the world.

"As for paying tribute?" Zhao Fujin picked up the wine glass and swung it: "You have seen Kaifeng City. We in the Song Dynasty are not short of your three melons and two dates. We can use this money to organize the army and stabilize the country."

Wanyan Zongwang looked at Zhao Fujin in a daze. He couldn't understand it at all. Not only did a winner not ask for compensation, but he also allowed the losing side to keep the money and reorganize the army?

Zhao Fujin's eyebrows were crooked, half-smiling: "What? You don't understand? The second prince is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years. He has been fighting with me for a year. According to the second prince, if you give the Jin Army another 30 years, we may win." I?"

Wanyan Zongwang finally understood what Zhao Fujin meant. It was a kind of condescending look, as confident as a cat catching a mouse.

With the current firearms of the Song Army and the famous generals that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, there is a high probability that the Jin Army will still be defeated by Kaifeng City if it develops for another 30 years. Wanyan Zongwang feels that there is no doubt about this.

But even so, shouldn't a winner take it all?
"Harm, this involves ethnic relations, which is complicated." Zhao Fujin organized his words: "If the Jurchen clan doesn't have your Wanyan clan, there will also be the Abuhan clan, the Peiman clan, the Aixinjueluo clan, the Ulanara clan... …”

At this point, Zhao Fujin burst out laughing.

The smile was as bright as the warm winter wind, which actually made Wanyan Zongwang a little stunned.

As for Ulanara's hit on Zhao Fujin's smile, Wanyan Zongwang couldn't get it.

"Ahem, it's too complicated for you to understand and you can't understand it. In short, a fragmented Jurchen clan is not in the interests of our Song Dynasty. We, the Song Dynasty, don't want that land and are too lazy to manage it. It's time-consuming and labor-intensive, you guys. Since the Wanyan clan can unify the Jurchens, you can continue to rule, but... you must be obedient."

Wanyan Zongwang's whole body trembled, as if he had experienced an electric shock.

Looking at Zhao Fujin's sly smile, Wanyan Zongwang nervously picked up his wine glass: "The defeated general...respect your majesty!"

Zhao Fujin pursed his lips and smiled, extended his jade hand forward, and clinked the glasses gently: "So, your second prince has agreed?"

Wanyan Zongwang drank it all in one gulp, and then nodded solemnly: "When I return to Huining Mansion, I will make it clear to the Emperor of Jin, and I will definitely facilitate this matter."

Zhao Fujin waved his hand: "I think you haven't understood what I mean. Take trade as an example. Do you know what trade is?"

Wanyan Zongwang thought for a moment: "Like the Song and Liao Dynasties?"

"No, no, no, the market is just a trade. The trade I want is to allow our merchants from the Song Dynasty to enter the territory of the Jin Kingdom to purchase, open stores, or invest money in mining... In other words, the Jin Kingdom's court must not restrict the Song Dynasty. People are in the business of gold. As for what benefits it can bring to you, I feel that the old ministers of the Liao Dynasty who are in charge should understand the business and tax matters."

Wanyan Zongwang is also a person who participates in political affairs. Although he does not know much about business, he has heard some questions: "Your Majesty is saying that we can collect taxes?"

Zhao Fujin nodded: "Of course they have to be collected, but how much and how to collect it is up to me, the Song Dynasty. Of course, you Jin people can also come to do business in our Song Dynasty. We are very welcome."

Wanyan Zongwang thought about it, this is fair, what is there that he can't agree to?
It’s just that anyone with some common sense in business knows that the right to collect this tax and how much is in the hands of others... Haha.

"I have to explain the unification of laws to the second prince. To put it simply, after the Jin Kingdom, you must abide by my "Song Xingtong". Of course, you can also keep some of your own laws, but you must not share them with me. If it is contrary to the situation, the first problem to be solved is to abolish the slave trade." Wanyan Zongwang was a little embarrassed: "The Liao Kingdom has such a large population, if they don't become slaves..."

"More people than our Song Dynasty? We don't have slaves either. Let's liberate the productive forces."

This matter is easy to say, but it is very difficult to implement. Zhao Fujin has no intention of solving it all at once, so he does not want to waste time with Wanyan Zongwang. He just points out the direction from a high position. As for how to implement the subsequent details, that is all The people below will discuss it in detail.

Wanyan Zongwang could only nod: "Okay!"

The military was completely defeated, the finances were pinched, and even the laws that guided social consciousness had to be assimilated.

Isn't this more realistic than asking Wanyan Sheng to call him daddy and kneel down to proclaim himself a vassal?

As for why Zhao Fujin wanted an eight-year-old Wanyan Dan to come to Kaifeng as a hostage, Wanyan Zongwang didn't care. He just hoped that Zhao Fujin wouldn't hurt him. After all, he was of Wanyan blood.

"Hmph! I'm going to give him a dog leash gift..."

When Wanyan Zongwang heard this, he quickly begged for mercy: "Eight-year-old child, your Majesty has mercy. If your Majesty is not relieved, the defeated general is now in Kaifeng, and I am willing to take his place with my body."

Zhao Fujin laughed loudly: "You? Forget it, I'm afraid it will hurt my eyes!"

"Mom Jin is afraid of hurting her eyes, but I'm not afraid, I'll hold her!"

Finally hearing the interesting topic, Gao Chong came back to his senses instantly and looked at Wanyan Zongwang with a smile.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't know why, his anus tightened, and he quickly said: "Your Highness..."

"Your Highness?" Gao Chong was stunned, and waved his hands repeatedly in fear: "I am just a junior general in the army, so don't talk nonsense."

Wanyan Zongwang looked at Gao Chong and then at Zhao Fujin, who was smiling angrily: "You are not... not..."

"Jun Chen! That's all! He called me Jin Mama, which is... an honorific title!" Zhao Fujin explained with a smile.

Wanyan Zongwang was overjoyed and said glibly: "That's good, that's good."

Seeing Wanyan Zongwang's strange look, Zhao Fujin suddenly stopped smiling, stared at Wanyan Zongwang and asked: "You... like me?"

"Pfft..." A mouthful of wine spurted out from Wanyan Zongwang's mouth. Wanyan Zongwang stood up in shock and bowed: "The defeated general Zong Wang, how dare you covet the beauty of heaven? Your Majesty is so majestic and has conquered the country and the city. His martial arts and martial arts are unparalleled in ancient and modern times. , How dare a defeated general, how dare you!"

Zhao Fujin pursed his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand and dragged Wanyan Zongwang's arm: "Get up."

Wanyan Zongwang had just stood up halfway when Zhao Fujin leaned into his ear and said something that Wanyan Zongwang would never forget for the rest of his life: "You and I were supposed to have a relationship as husband and wife, but it was just a bad relationship. Now, it's just like this. Very good."

……

……

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, there was a meeting in Xuanhe Hall.

Needless to say, the officials of the Song Dynasty praised the officials highly and Zhao Fujin rewarded the ministers for their merits.

There was much debate about what happened after the war.

The first thing is whether to send troops to the north and destroy the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop.

The court almost unanimously believed that the main force of the Jin army had been destroyed. At this time, there was no suspense in sending troops north to take back the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. If the ambition was big enough, it was not impossible for him to ride on horseback to Hui Ning Mansion.

Only Zhao Fujin felt that something was wrong: "The Sixteen States of Yanyun are going to be taken back. As for the territory of the fallen Liao Dynasty and the territory of the Jin Kingdom, I think we can't let it go for the time being."

Even though Zhao Fujin's prestige is now at its peak, there are still people who are vocally opposed to it.

Such a good opportunity, why not seize it and eliminate the hidden dangers in the north in one fell swoop.

Zhao Fujin raised his fingers to settle the scores with the ministers: "It is easy to take over the world, but it is difficult to rule the world. The territory of the Liao Kingdom is far larger than that of the Song Dynasty. If we really take it, how many state capitals will be established and how many officials will be needed to govern it? How much money will be needed to use it?"

Li Gang came out and said: "It is not too difficult to rule Liao with Liao, and all the land acquired will be taxed."

Zhao Fujin smiled bitterly and said, "It's time for us to change our thinking."

"The officials have made it clear!" Li Gang bowed.

Zhao Fujin knew that if she could not explain clearly this time, the ministers would be endless, but if she wanted to explain clearly, it would be too complicated. How could she explain the consequences of colonialism such as commodity dumping, raw material plundering, labor extraction, and cultural invasion? What about theory?
Now, isn't it just a good time to use the Kingdom of Jin to practice, sum up experience, and improve methods in preparation for the implementation of the strategy of going south to the sea and colonizing foreign countries in the future?

If the Kingdom of Jin disappears, how can we colonize ourselves?Plunder yourself?
That should not be scolded by officials who have high moral standards and plead for the people, and label themselves as competing for profits and harming the people.

But if this place was not from the Song Dynasty, and the people were not from the Song Dynasty, it would be much more logical for them to do certain things, at least they would not be labeled as such.

But these words obviously cannot be said in front of all civil and military officials at the court meeting. They are too dark.

Zhao Fujin could only act arbitrarily and walked away!

In the past year since he was in power, Zhao Fujin rarely acted in such a dictatorial manner. More often than not, although he insisted on his own opinions, he always used both kindness and power to convince opponents.But this time, there was not a single explanation, which made the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty look at each other in shock.

Li Gang looked at Li Bangyan, who shook his head speechlessly.

Looking at Han Shizhong and Yue Fei again, they sighed.

Suddenly, the devilish laughter of Gao Chong sounded: "Hahaha, you don't know why, do you? I know!"

Gao Chong, who wanted to be seen as a saint in front of others, did not get the attention he wanted, because anyone who knew him knew that he was worse than a ten-year-old child in matters such as government affairs.

Seeing all the ministers exiting the Xuanhe Hall with unwilling faces, Gao Chong pulled Li Gang and Li Bangyan, stopped Han Shizhong and Yue Fei at a trot, opened his arms and said: "Hey, hey, don't go, I really know !”

Li Bangyan, who was impatient, sighed: "Okay, okay, General Gao, just tell us and we'll listen."

Gao Chong cleared his throat, waved to a few people, motioned for them to gather around, and then whispered: "On the first day of the first lunar month, Mother Jin asked Wanyan Zongwang, do you like me?"

Several people's expressions instantly became stagnant, and they were stunned in place.

"Highly favored! Don't talk nonsense!" Yue Fei yelled.

Gao Chong curled his lips: "Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, ask Chunxia of Akihito Palace. She is also present."

"What else did the officials say?" Li Gang asked anxiously.

Gao Chong scratched his head and thought for a moment: "Others... I can't remember the others... Oh! By the way, Wanyan Zongwang also asked the officials to lead him with a dog leash, but the officials refused and said it was annoying. "

Li Bangyan suddenly clapped his hands and said cheerfully: "I understand, I understand. Is the official family... asking for help?"

Li Gang's old face darkened: "Stop talking nonsense."

Li Bangyan pulled Li Gang and said with a smile: "Then tell me, why are the officials unwilling to take advantage of the situation to eliminate the money? I can't tell you. Then I will tell you the truth. The officials want to get married. If Wanyan Zongwang and the officials …Then the Kingdom of Jin is our son-in-law’s country of the Song Dynasty, isn’t it? This is nothing but destruction!”

Han Shizhong reminded: "The emperor of the Jin Kingdom is called Wanyan Sheng! He is not the second prince!"

"It's harmful. It's just a matter of words for officials to destroy money. How about asking Wanyan Sheng to get out and helping the second prince to ascend the throne?" Li Bangyan felt that he was definitely right!

Li Gang also seemed to have figured it out: "If this is true...then it doesn't seem to be that important whether the Jin Kingdom is destroyed or not?"

"Right? How can a family be destroyed? So you don't understand the official family." Li Bangyan looked proud and immediately asked everyone: "Has the second prince left Kaifeng? The truth hasn't entertained him yet. He You can't leave!" (End of Chapter)
