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

Chapter 155 Three Letters from Wanyan Zongwang
It was already early June when Song Ting received an urgent letter from Wanyan Zongwang eight hundred miles away.

There are three letters in total, sent to Song Dynasty official Zhao Fujin, Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji, and "good friend" Li Bangyan.

This is not the first time that Emperor Daojun and Li Bangyan have received Wanyan Zongwang’s letter. As early as the seventh year of Xuanhe, when the Jin army decided to attack the Song Dynasty for the first time, Wanyan Zongwang had written to Emperor Daojun, in which he denounced Emperor Daojun violated the maritime alliance and took in Zhang Jue, the traitorous general of the Jin Kingdom. He was looking for death.

The words are sharp and the scolding is vigorous.

After Emperor Daojun received the letter, he felt his arms trembling and felt dizzy. Then he burst into tears and regretted it.

The letter Li Bangyan received at that time was to persuade him to do something for the people of the Song Dynasty, to persuade Daojun and Emperor Daojun to abandon their illusions, give up resistance, and honestly cede land and pay compensation. The Song Dynasty still had a glimmer of hope, so don't say it was unforeseen!

These two letters caused quite a psychological shadow on both Emperor Daojun and Li Bangyan at the time.

So when he saw this letter from the Kingdom of Jin or Wanyan Zongwang's own handwriting, Emperor Daojun suddenly felt his heart was broken, and Li Bangyan felt his scalp numb.

When I opened the letter, I couldn't say that the writing style was the same as last time. It could only be said that it was even more thunderous and angry.

The first few paragraphs were written fairly neatly, but perhaps because I didn’t study Chinese thoroughly enough, my style of writing suddenly changed at the end, and I didn’t care about writing anything to express my morals. I started to curse in the dialect of Jin Guo’s people: “You guys. The Zhao family is shameless, what they have done is really too shameless, it would be better if they hand over Prince Yun's little brat, but if they still protect this little brat, then just wait to be fucked!"

Emperor Daojun held the letter and couldn't help but trembled: "How dignified! How dignified!"

I don't know if he is saying that King Yun Zhao Kai is ignorant, ran away, and kidnapped someone else's princess?Still saying that the letter written by Wanyan Zongwang was too vulgar!
The content of the letter Li Bangyan received was similar to the above, but not much better.

Putting aside the vulgar style of writing, what was said in the letter was a very big deal.

King Yun Zhao Kai, the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, abducted the wife of the marshal of the Jin Kingdom and fled overnight. This kind of thing would have been quite explosive not to mention during the Song and Jin Dynasties, but even a thousand years later, in the era of civilized and mature diplomacy. Being the number one search engine can also dominate the rankings for a long time. If a local war breaks out over this, it would be legitimate and just.

Therefore, the officials must be informed of this matter as soon as possible.

So Emperor Daojun and Li Bangyan set off from Longde Palace and Zhongshu Province and rushed to the Imperial Study Room.

In the imperial study, Zhao Fujin was reviewing the notes sent by Kang Wang Zhao Gou from Hangzhou. He became more and more happy as he read them. He even vaguely felt that this Zhao Gou was still the Wanyan Jiumei in the history books?

Just over a month after taking office, he established the Hangzhou Shipping Department, recruited more than a hundred shipwrights, and even made a two-year plan: five ocean-going merchant ships and thirty large and small warships.

Not only that, but based on the reference documents submitted by the Academy of Sciences of the Song Dynasty, the new warship was designed and modified, with ten side gun ports and a split cabin construction... Although Zhao Fujin didn't understand the use of these, he could also imagine Zhao Gou After learning about Hangzhou, I spent all night discussing the construction plan with the shipbuilders every day. I never had time to go to the beautiful streets and willow lanes and enjoy the little ladies in Hangzhou.

"I'm very relieved, take care of yourself."

After Zhao Fujiang approved eight words, Emperor Daojun and Li Bangyan arrived as promised.

Zhao Fujin was a little surprised when these two people came at the same time. After standing up to greet them, the three of them sat down. Emperor Daojun spoke first: "Fujin, something big has happened!"

Li Bangyan looked anxious at the side and just nodded.

Zhao Fujin looked at the appearance of these two people, and then saw the letters in their hands, and he guessed something: "What's going on in the Kingdom of Jin?"

Li Bangyan was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Does everyone in the government know about it?"

Zhao Fujin smiled and shook his head. He dug out Wanyan Zongwang's autographed letter from a pile of documents, held it in his hand and shook it: "I received it too, but I haven't had time to read it yet." As he spoke, he opened the envelope.

Li Bangyan quickly stopped him and said, "It's better for the officials not to look at it, so as not to stain their eyes."

Zhao Fujin had already pulled out half of the letter. When he heard what Li Bangyan said, his men were startled: "Oh, why did you say that?"

Emperor Daojun lamented: "The Jin people are vulgar and their writings are unsightly."

Zhao Fujin chuckled and said: "Most people who haven't read many books are like this. It's nothing vulgar. It's just a letter, just write it down clearly."

After saying that, he took out the letter and was about to unfold it when Li Bangyan said again: "Then let me read it to the officials."

Li Bangyan was very considerate. It was inevitable that the officials would be offended by Wanyan Zongwang's vulgar words. He would read it by himself. If he encountered some offensive words, he would just skip them. He only needed to let the officials know what happened. The family's intelligence must be able to understand the seriousness of the matter in an instant.

Zhao Fujin did not refuse. He raised his hand and handed the letter to Li Bangyan: "Okay, you can read it and everyone will listen."

Li Bangyan took the letter and cleared his throat: "The empress of the Song Dynasty, Fu Jinqi, sees her words as if they were written on her face. We met Mou Tuogang for the first time. We said goodbye to each other in Kaifeng City. It has been more than four months. Spring has been seen in Song Dynasty for a long time. Huining Mansion Spring is late, but we are the same in the world, but we are still different, just like you and me. A few months ago, His Majesty asked Sima Xianggong to give medicine. Zong Wang has accepted it. He is very grateful. Huining Mansion has nothing to grow, so he gave it to His Majesty Haidong Qingtou in return. Give me a feather to express my feelings..."

While Zhao Fujin listened, he poured out a brightly colored feather from the envelope and held it in his hand, turning it around.

Li Bangyan cleared his throat and continued to read: "When I first thought about the defeat, I was quite unhappy. But after thinking about it several times, I deeply admired His Majesty's wisdom, his ability to advance and retreat in a measured way, and his ability to use both soft and hard tactics. I especially admired His Majesty's wonderful way of employing people. Needless to say, Xianggong and young general Han Shizhong, Li Bangyan...Li Bangyan..."

When Li Bangyan read this, his face turned red. He stammered for a long time, but he still had the courage to continue reading: "A sloppy person like Li Bangyan is as good as a minister in the hands of your majesty."

Zhao Fujin couldn't help laughing when he looked at Li Bangyan's embarrassed face.

"Therefore, your Majesty, Zongwang does not want to fight with the Song Dynasty again, but wants to promote peace talks between the two countries. Although King Yun is retained as a hostage, it is actually the intention of my Majesty Dajin. However, Zongwang will treat him with courtesy and will never treat him lightly. . We originally thought that the two countries would have a good relationship and live together in accordance with the alliance, but what King Yun did was no different from that of Daojun and Emperor. He broke the alliance and abandoned the treaty, which is regrettable. Zong Wang has written to tell the story to Daojun. Your Majesty, you can ask the Emperor and Li Bangyan yourself. Although Zong Wang does not want to fight anymore, he cannot bear this shame and humiliation. I hope your Majesty will forgive me. Wan Yan Zong Wang personally writes this."

After listening to Zong Wang's letter, Zhao Fujin frowned and said, "It's polite and proper. Is there anything objectionable to say?"

Emperor Daojun and Li Bangyan looked at each other, this style of writing... was it written by the same person?
"What trouble did King Yun cause over there?" Zhao Fujin asked with a cold snort.

Li Bangyan looked at Emperor Daojun. Emperor Daojun should let Emperor Daojun speak for himself about what his son did.

Emperor Daojun shook his head and lamented: "Hey, Zhao Kai, he escaped."

"Escaped?" Zhao Fujin's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he started to protest.

When Li Bangyan saw this, he immediately struck back: "King Yun not only escaped on his own, but... he also... also kidnapped Wanyan Zongwang's wife, the princess of Liao, Yelu Yuliyan."

Zhao Fujin's face was startled, his beautiful eyes blinked a few times, and he laughed angrily: "Ha, the family tradition has been passed down well."

Emperor Daojun had an old face, which alternated between red and white. He hesitated and asked: "Don't make fun of Fu Jin. What should we do now?"
