Chapter 643 Expulsion

"What does he mean? There's no room for discussion?" Chen Qing asked sullenly.

Zhang Xiao said helplessly: "He said that other royal families can be exchanged, anyone under the prince can do so, but the crown prince and prince can only talk to the court of the Song Dynasty. The implication is that we are not qualified to talk to him."

Chen Qing was furious. This was obviously humiliating himself. Fortunately, he agreed to negotiate under the pressure of the military generals who opposed the peace talks. Don't blame yourself.

Chen Qing held his hands coldly and said: "Immediately send troops to send them out of the country. If he wants to talk to the imperial court, he invites them to Lin'an. Jingzhao doesn't welcome them."

Chen Qing issued an order to expel the guests, the negotiation was cancelled, and the Jurchen envoy was immediately expelled from the country.

Two thousand soldiers rushed to the Gui Hotel and surrounded it. Zhang Xiao did not show up this time. An official read the expulsion order to Wan Yan Xiyin, asking them to leave Jingzhao City immediately and go the same way.

This sap really caught Yan Xiyin by surprise. He wanted to explain something, but the officials told him clearly that the envoy Xuanfu didn't want to talk about it anymore, and asked them to clean up Jingzhaocheng immediately.

A strong sense of humiliation also annoyed Wanyan Xiyin. The Song Dynasty had always been flattering to them, but today they were expelled by the Song Army, and they were still a local force.

He originally made an appointment to meet the intelligence chief lurking in Sichuan and Shaanxi at night, but now he can't take care of it, and immediately ordered his subordinates to pack up and leave with a livid face.

The news spread quickly, and everyone in Jingzhao clapped their hands and applauded. The negotiator of the Kingdom of Jin was kicked out of Jingzhao City, which was really satisfying.

Thousands of people nearby ran to the expensive hotel and saw a large group of golden soldiers coming out. Rotten eggs and rotten fruits rained down on the golden soldiers. When he hit the ground, he felt like vomiting when he heard it, and he jumped into a rage with anger.

The commander of the Song Army shouted: "Let's go! It's still an egg now, and it will be troublesome if it is replaced by a stone."

Wanyan Xiyin was frightened and ordered the soldiers to leave immediately. A large group of golden soldiers escorted Wanyan Xiyin and fled Jingzhao City in embarrassment.
After passing Lintong County, it was already dark, Wanyan Xiyin ordered to camp on the spot, and not far away, the [-] cavalry soldiers of the Song Army who were monitoring them also camped to rest.

At two o'clock, Wanyan Xiyin was woken up by the soldiers, "Xiangguo, someone from Jingzhao is here, and they say it was sent by the golden fox."

Wanyan Xiyin cheered up, and sat up quickly. The golden fox is of course a nickname. He is the intelligence leader of the Kingdom of Jin lurking in Sichuan and Shaanxi. In the beginning, Wanyan Wushu sent a group of people to lurk in Bashu in order to capture them. All kinds of information about Bashu, the leader of this group of people is the golden fox.

After Chen Qing seized Shaanxi Road, Jin Guo's intelligence network quickly expanded to Shaanxi Road, but this group of people lurked very deep and reported directly to Wan Yanchang. The situation is not known.

Of course, this group of people are all Han Chinese from Yanshan Mansion. They originally served the Liao Kingdom, but now they have changed their allegiance to the Jin Kingdom.

The person who came was a man in his thirties, tall and thin, with gloomy eyes. He knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Li Toutuo, a humble employee, is under the golden fox and is in charge of intelligence in the Jingzhao area."

"Are you a soldier?" Wanyan Xiyin saw that his arms were long and powerful.

"The humble job was originally the centurion under Marshal Wushu."

"Very well, stand up and talk!"

"Thank you Xiangguo!"

Li Toutuo stood up, and Wanyan Xiyin asked again: "Are the [-] Jurchens prisoners of war real?"

"It is indeed true. I have seen it with my own eyes. They were digging in the Red Copper Mountain in Qinzhou. There were a total of [-] people. This is recorded in the official documents of the Song Army, but how many real girls are there? How many Khitan people and Xi people are still being understood, and there are thousands of Jurchen family members who were captured in Fengxiang and are now working in the Song Army workshop."

"Is Chen Qing sincere in negotiating? Do you have any real news?"

Li Toutuo hesitated and said: "I only heard a rumor that the civil servants support the negotiations, but the generals are generally opposed to the negotiations, thinking that the [-] Jurchen troops will become new enemies when they are released. Chen Qing's attitude should be slightly biased towards the civil officials. .”

Wanyan Xiyin agrees with this explanation. Today, Chen Qing should just find an excuse to drive him away. Even if the negotiations between Wanyan Helisa and Wanyan Qi break down, at least they can talk about the redemption conditions for [-] prisoners of war, but Driving people away at the slightest disagreement is obviously catering to the military.

"What's going on with Song Jun now?" Wanyan Xiyin asked again.

"The humble official has already written a detailed report and sent someone to Beijing. The Song army is now dispatching troops to attack Xixia."

"When will we attack?" Wanyan Xiyin asked urgently.

"I don't know the specific position, but with the characteristics of Chen Qing's work, he will attack as soon as he is fully prepared, and there will be no delay. The position is estimated to be within two months."

"I see. When you go back, you must hurry up to collect intelligence on the Song army. In addition, the headhunting plan must be implemented quickly, especially for Chen Qing. I want to remind you that the reward offered by the old wolf lord to Chen Qing is still valid. This opportunity you Don't let it go."

"Humble job must do its best!"

Li Toutuo left immediately and disappeared like a shadow. Although the Song Army cavalry was monitoring the Jin Kingdom mission, they were only preventing the mission from causing major accidents. As for individual people lurking in and out, the Song Army did not pay attention.

Wanyan Xiyin stood in front of the big tent with his hands behind his back, feeling a little irritable in his heart, how could he explain to Tarlan that he didn't bring Wanyan and Lisa back?
At this time, the deputy envoy Xiao Hongquan said in a low voice: "I feel that the generals of the opposing army will not object to the issue of redeeming the two of you. Send the letter, if the imperial court agrees to Chen Qing's request, then go directly to exchange, if the imperial court is unwilling, then the problem is not on Xiangguo."

Wanyan Xiyin nodded, this is indeed the truth.

At dawn, Chong Huan was ready to go out. His official residence was also in Quiren. In order to solve the housing problem for middle and low-level officials, Chen Qing bulldozed a large grassy vacant lot in Quiren and built two hundred Multiple sets of yards.

Of course, this is just one of the places where official houses are concentrated. According to regulations, officials above the fifth rank live in official houses, officials below the fifth rank are allocated official houses, and civil servants without rank live in single dormitories. Several people live in a courtyard. a room.

There is a big difference between official residences and official residences. One is the area. The official residences are more than two acres.

The official residence is a single courtyard. The largest official residence is a six-rank one-acre five-yard courtyard with more than a dozen rooms, front and rear courtyards, and the smallest official residence is a nine-rank double-room courtyard.

Zhong Huan is the eighth rank, his official residence is three small courtyards, the conditions are very good, but every day he goes to the inner guard a little far away, the inner guard will match him with a horse, and every day at dawn, he leaves the house and sets out .

The official office of Neiwei is also on East Street, but on the other side, it is still a little distance from the bustling commercial shops.

Zhong Huan handed over the horse to the soldiers at the gate, and walked straight into the government office. The civil servants greeted him one after another, "It's early for Zhong to join the army!"

Chong Huan likes this feeling very much. Although he is in the army, everyone respects him enough to make him feel his own value.

Moreover, Wang Hao arranged a separate official room for him, which really moved him. Even the first Wei Ji and the third Chao Qing crowded into a hall with dozens of people to do things, but he had his own Separate official room.

Zhong Huan sat down, and a tea boy served him tea. He took a sip of the tea, and then took a bag of files. What he does every day is to review the reports submitted by each group. In Chao Qing's words, he This position is actually the inner guard judge.

It doesn't matter whether he is a judge or a recorder and joins the army. The important thing is whether he likes this job or not. From now on, he can still accept this job. After all, not every new scholar can enjoy a single official room. of.

Zhong Huan took out the documents in the file bag. This is the report of the ninth group of internal guards. The duty of the ninth group of internal guards is to protect the safety of Xuanfu envoy Chen Qing and his family. There are three maids and one in Chen Qing's mansion. The footmen are members of the inner guard.

In addition, the inner guards are also responsible for the protection of the periphery. For example, when the wife goes out, apart from a few female bodyguards and horseback guards, there must be inner guards guarding the periphery.

The ninth group handed in a monthly report, that is, a routine report. There was nothing worth investigating. If there was no special situation to report, Zhong Huan would file it directly after reading it, and there was no need to report it.

Perhaps because Zhong Huan was a newcomer, he also read this routine monthly report very carefully. At this time, a few lines in the corner of the report immediately caught Zhong Huan's attention.
