"Yuwen Xuzhong, what did you say?"

In Chongzheng Hall, Zhao Ji, an official from the Song Dynasty, heard that peace talks were completed by Yuwen Xuzhong, and even said it was unsuccessful.

Yuwen Xuzhong said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Prince Yun, has already negotiated with the Jin people to cede the Yanshan Mansion Road, and spend 500,000 yuan to marry Prince Roufu to the fourth prince of the Jin people, Wanyan Wushu, and give another 3 million yuan annual quotas.

This year's monies must be calculated from the seventh year of Xuanhe, so we have to give 3 million yuan to the Jin people first before they can withdraw their troops from Kaifeng Prefecture. As for the marriage of Emperor Ji, it can be delayed until next year. In other words, we have to give 3.5 million yuan to the Jin people next year..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Ji interrupted him and said, "I have given Prince Yun 3 million, haven't he handed it over to the Jin people?"

During this period, Zhao Ji's court was trapped in Kaifeng Prefecture. He had no financial investments. He spent money like flowing water and was no longer very prosperous.

"Prince Yun may have spent a portion," Yuwen Xuzhong quickly explained, "so he only gave the Jin people 2 million. As long as the court can give the remaining 1 million, he will send a prince and the priest to be hostages and send the Jin people back north... This is the matter!"

"So that's it..." Zhao Ji finally smiled, "Sanlang really knows how to do things, and I'm very happy!"

The person who said this was unintentional, but many people in the hall listened to it intentionally!

No one expected that Zhao Kai, Prince Yun, would sell the country and beg for mercy successfully, and it sold very well!

The Jin Thief asked for 30 million yuan of goods (one-time reward) and 20 imperial concubines, but he couldn't agree... Because recruiting troops to prepare for war, the pile sealing warehouse had no 30 million yuan at all. Although Zhao Ji's imperial concubines had more than 20, many of them were already married, and they were still young for many years and could not get married at all.

In addition to the firm opposition from the pro-war factions such as Zhao Huan, Li Gang, Wu Min, Geng Nanzhong, etc., the peace could not continue.

Unexpectedly, I actually talked about 3 million and 1 imperial concubine (the emperor has 500,000 yuan in dowry), which is a great contribution... With this contribution, coupled with Zhao Ji's favor, and the marriage between the Roman Emperor Roufu (that was Zhao Kai's sister-in-law) and the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, when the three kings Zhao Kai return to court, I am afraid that the crown prince will be deposed!

When Zhao Huan thought of the consequences of being deposed and being deposed, he was already sweating profusely, but he did not dare to object to peace talks, so he had to give Li Gang a look of help.

Although Li Gang is just the right prime minister of the Shangshu and is considered the deputy prime minister, he is the leader of the main war faction in Kaifeng Prefecture!

Although he didn't know much military affairs, he was determined to resist the Jin Dynasty and acted very tough. He was not afraid of offending others or taking personal gains and losses. Therefore, Kaifeng's resistance to the Jin Dynasty was really not good enough. Organizing the anti-Jin in Kaifeng Prefecture was actually an offensive job that offended others and suspicious. People who truly "understand politics" were unwilling to do it, only Li Gang, the first bird, would stab the hornet's nest.

Although after fighting against the Jin Dynasty, Li Gang offended all the powerful people in Kaifeng Prefecture City, and even made the officials very afraid of Li Gang, he would definitely be abandoned, but now he has organized the imperial guards and civilians in Kaifeng Prefecture City.

These are 200,000 to 300,000 armed soldiers and civilians! Although they could not defeat the Jin thieves outside the city, they were enough to threaten the officials and lords and officials in the city.

Zhao Ji was a government official under the threat of 200,000 to 300,000 armed military and civilians these days. It was really a pity! When his son Zhao Huan was forced to usurp his throne by Li Gang... Everyone knows that Li Gang supports the prince!

Li Gang did not hide his support for Zhao Huan at all. After getting Zhao Huan's eyes, he immediately went out to work and replied: "Your Majesty, I think the Jin thief is cunning and should not be trusted!"

When Zhao Ji saw Li Gang standing up, he knew it would be bad, but the Jin thief had not retreated yet, so Li Gang could not touch him no matter how arrogant he was.

Otherwise, the 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers and civilians outside the palace would have asked the Song Dynasty to change their official families...

Zhao Ji frowned and asked, "Why did Li Qing say this?"

Li Gang said: "Kaifeng has been trapped for many days now, and there is no news between inside and outside. It is not known whether Prince Yun has negotiated with the Jin thief. Don't relax your guard just because of the one-sided words of the Jin thief, and don't give millions of wealth to others for nothing!

If the Jin thief really negotiated with Prince Yun, he should let go of the siege, so that Prince Yun's memorial could enter the city, and that His Majesty could know the situation everywhere in the world!"

After hearing Li Gang's words, Zhao Ji thought it was quite reasonable. There seemed to be a lot of money in a million, so of course he couldn't easily contact others. He had to pay after reading Zhao Kai's memorial.

And if the Jin thief really agreed with Zhao Kai, there is no need to always surround Kaifeng Mansion, right?

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Li Qing's words are reasonable... If the Jin people really agreed with Prince Yun, they should have let Prince Yun's memorial enter the city."

He thought about it and smiled, "If the Jin man has not agreed with Prince Yun in the final agreement, I can agree to this condition!"

He can take out a princess, but he doesn't feel sorry for slapping three million people's fat and ointment over a year, so Zhao Ji is in a very good mood now.

He looked at the ministers separated by left and right, and asked with a smile: "I wonder who would like to go to the Jin camp and tell the Jin people what I said?"

Li Gang quickly winked Yuwen Xuzhong - this assignment must be taken! This way can we act according to the opportunity and protect the interests of the Song Dynasty. The 3 million annual monies are still too much. Can it be reduced by a little? For example, to 300,000 or 500,000? In addition, the Jin thieves seem to have a Western Army fighting Hedong, so they have to retreat together!

The official surnamed Zhao from Jiangsu in the Song Dynasty didn't care, but he, a loyal minister from the surname Li, cared very much.

Yuwen Xuzhong got Li Gang's look and immediately asked Zhao Kai for his order: "Your Majesty, Yuwen Xuzhong is willing to go to the golden camp to touch the bottom of the golden man for His Majesty."

"Your Majesty," Cai You, the head of the Privy Council, also came out to report at this time, "I recommend Zhao Liangsi as the deputy envoy and go to the Jin camp together."

Zhao Ji nodded and smiled and said, "With Yuwen Xuzhong and Zhao Liangsi together, they will definitely be able to negotiate with the Jin people... In addition, I also want to issue an edict to Prince Yun to commend him for his achievements in presiding over the peace. How do you think I should commend Prince Yun?"

How to commend?

Zhao Huan's face turned dark after hearing this. Prince Yun was already the prince. If he was rewarded, he should be the crown prince! Thinking of this, Zhao Huan felt that he winked Li Bangyan.

The Grand Priest Li Bangyan supported Zhao Huan, so of course he had to help him speak at this time, otherwise Zhao Kai would definitely not have the best result after he came to power, so he reported: "Your Majesty, I think I should be granted the title of great power and I can be granted the title of Prince Yun as the title of Prince Qin."

Added to King of Qin... This title is not a good title for Zhao Kai, but he was labeled as "Li Shimin of the Song Dynasty"!

Although Emperor Taizong of Tang was a recognized wise ruler, Li Shimin's father, brother and younger brother Li Yuanji must not like such a wise ruler.

Zhao Ji frowned after hearing this. To be honest, if the peace talks with the Jin people were not successful, he would really want a "Zhao Shimin". Even if "Zhao Shimin" killed Zhao Huan, he could accept it...

But now the peace talks are about to succeed, Zhao Ji feels that he has 30 years to be the emperor, so of course he is unwilling to be forced to retreat by "Zhao Shimin".

"Sanlang is the Marshal of the Hebei Army, so it is not appropriate to be named King of Qin?" Zhao Ji frowned slightly, "It's better to promote him to King of Wei."

The King of Wei was not a good title in the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin's fourth brother Zhao Tingmei was named King of Wei. Later, Zhao Tingmei was suspected of wanting to rebel and was resettled by Fuling County Duke and resettled Fangzhou. She suddenly vomited blood at the age of 38... It was said that she became sick because of worries and anger, but it looked like food poisoning!

Zhao Ji's promotion to Zhao Kai as King of Wei is also a small warning - the position of the official family is my own. If you want to be, you have to wait patiently for thirty or forty years!
