Chapter 258 Letter

But it was said that Nahe Shi Liezhining came south from Kaifeng Mansion and drifted along the Cai River. It originally only took one day to reach the intersection of Cai and Guo rivers, which was only a few dozen miles away from Emperor Zhao of the Southern Dynasty. .

This time, I was instructed by Wanyan Wushu, and I know that the southerners are the most particular, and the specifications are the same as those of the envoys in the past. Zhining acted as the envoy, and there were two deputy envoys, namely the Emperor of Jin Dynasty. A close confidant of the Jin Dynasty, Da Xingguo, the chamberlain on duty in the Jin Dynasty's Internal Affairs Bureau, and a relative of Da Xingguo, the current Shangshu Provincial Lingshi of the Jin Dynasty, like Guo Yaoshi, were both Li Laoseng who was born in Han'er, Liaodong.

Although Wanyan Dan, the benefactor, was young and ascended to the throne at the age of 16, and is only in his early twenties now, he is still the eldest grandson of Aguda, and his status is there. Although Wanyan Wushu is extremely powerful, the commander-in-chief The Jin Kingdom has great military and political power, but it has never thought about usurping the throne. In other words, this country, which has only three emperors so far, has a relatively vague concept of 'usurping the throne'.

Therefore, when Wanyan Dan became an adult, he wanted to take back some power. As long as it was not too excessive, Wanyan Wushu was always ignored. For example, the little emperor learned from the Han Dynasty Han Fang since he was a child. He liked to write poems and compositions, and liked Confucianism. Wanyan Wushu never said a word to him, even personally paying homage to Master Confucius and prohibiting the buying and selling of poor people as slaves. And these two people from Shangjing, to a certain extent, were the substitutes. The fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom knew that the little emperor was here to monitor him.

To say that he has no ideas at all, that is definitely not the case. After all, he is working hard outside just for the sake of the Wanyan family. But he also knows that he is old, and there are many other people. The counselor persuaded the fourth prince to turn a blind eye and pretend that these two people did not exist. This time they were going to talk about peace negotiations. These two should follow anyway. After all, they represent the emperor. and……

Let them see with their own eyes, the arrogant and domineering attitude of the Southern Barbarians, and it would be a good thing for them to stop the young emperor from thinking about the Han people as soon as possible.

I originally thought that Emperor Zhao would leave him alone for a while. After all, the advantage now lies with Song State. Even if they are a little arrogant, it is not something that they cannot understand. However, they did not expect that only half a day later, Zhining and the others received Emperor Zhao's message. 's letter.

According to the rules, Daxingguo and Li Laoseng respected this person from the He Shilie family, the son-in-law of the fourth prince, and the official envoy of this trip, at least on the surface, but when they saw him spread out After replying to the letter, he just glanced at it briefly and then frowned.

Just as Da Xingguo was about to ask questions, Zhining kneaded the letter with his hands and turned it into a ball of rotten paper.

"General, what does this mean?"

"What did Emperor Zhao say? Official letters between the two countries need to be reported back to Huining Mansion for safekeeping. I'm afraid it's a bit abrupt for you to act like this."

"This... is not appropriate. What's in the letter? Please show the letter to the general and read it together."

Zhining was still expressionless. If Yang Yizhong was like a piece of wood, then he was like a stone. He looked at the two of them and said:
"Emperor Zhao is asking what we can give to...beg for peace."

"Begging for peace?!"

Daxingguo snorted heavily, his beard flying in all directions:
"The peace negotiation is for the mutual benefit of both countries, so the Emperor of the Zhao family has won several battles, but he really has nothing to lose!"

There has always been a separation between literati and military men, and coupled with the difference between those with birds and those without, the vision of Daxingguo has become much shorter.

He has been in Bianjing since the beginning of the war. Anyone with a little brain can notice the current situation. He is the only one who is really proud of serving the Celestial Kingdom.

"Since the fourth prince means to compromise, we will agree to whatever he wants. This is an expedient measure, a delaying tactic. If nothing can be done, it cannot be regarded as a breach of contract."

"With Emperor Zhao's attitude, aren't you afraid that my Dajin cavalry will go south and completely wipe out his Jiangnan?!"

"We have to make an agreement. If we meet Emperor Zhao, you and I will never lose His Majesty's face, and we will lose the face of Dajin. We should maintain our demeanor, neither humble nor arrogant."

Daxingguo is very eloquent, and it seems to be like this. The more things are missing, the more they care. This characteristic is best reflected in disabled people like them.

On the contrary, Old Seng Li did not do anything because of Emperor Zhao's words. He only listened patiently to Da Xingguo's complaints before he raised his hands towards Zhining and said:
"Please also ask the general to display the letter."

The letter paper was gripped tightly by Zhining, and the jaws of the tiger's mouth were turned white by him. All the emotions that could not be expressed on his face were revealed through his limbs.

Zhining didn't say anything, but Li Laoseng's words reminded Daxingguo, who also joined in:

"General, please show it to us. Of course it's not that I don't believe you. It's just your duty. Please be considerate." After glancing at him, Zhining said:

"The letter only said this one thing and nothing else. There is no need to read it anymore."

The more he behaves like this, the weirder he appears. Who is Da Xingguo?

The chamberlain who came out of the Emperor of Jin's palace!

Although his character was not very high, he was in charge of the keys to each palace and was also in charge of the royal guards of the imperial city. He could enter and leave the palace freely. He was the most serious eunuch in the Jin Kingdom.

I don't know how prominent the Shangjing Mansion was. Except for the emperor, even a few princes were kind and friendly when they met him. Although the He Shilie family was somewhat powerful, they couldn't talk to him like this.

So Daxingguo insisted and stretched out his hand:

"Please give me your message, General."

The two of them were in a stalemate, making the situation a bit awkward. After all, Li Laoseng worked in Shangshu Province and knew more words than Daxingguo. He knew that he could not fall out with Zhining, and he was not in Beijing now. Even if He found an excuse to kill the two of them and died in revenge for the war. The emperor could not go back to hold him responsible.

As soon as he opened his mouth to persuade Daxingguo, he saw Zhining's hand holding the paper ball started to move.

Just as Da Xingguo sneered and Li Lao Seng breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Zhining slowly move his hand to Da Xingguo's palm. He saw that as soon as Zhining loosened his hand, the bunch of letters would fall into Da Xingguo's palm. When in Xingguo's hands...

However, Zhining waved lightly and threw the ball of paper into the river...it quickly sank, and he didn't know where it floated.

Daxingguo was extremely angry: "You..."

Just as he was about to scold him, he saw Zhining's hand retracted, and then she slapped him hard in the face.

'Clap~'

It was crisp and loud, and it almost made Da Xingguo faint. Old monk Li hurriedly stepped forward to help him, which prevented him from falling to the ground.

When Daxingguo saw Zhining turn around and leave without even looking back, he felt grievances and anger coming together. He was about to say something obscene, but was held down by Old Monk Li.

"People are under the eaves, please bow your head for now."

Telling him the pros and cons gradually calmed his mood.

"When I return to Beijing, I will report it to Your Majesty!"

"If I don't avenge this revenge, I swear I won't be a human being!"

Old Seng Li seemed to be coaxing a child: "Report, repay, repay, you must repay."

But his eyes remained on the river, never moving an inch.
