The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 120 Transporter

Wang Lun was a little confused. He was completely unprepared for the olive branch that Wanyan Zonghan suddenly threw out.

"Thank you, General, for your love, Mr. Wang, but the people who lived and died in Song Dynasty, Wang is the ghost of Song Dynasty. I appreciate your kindness." Wang Lun refused.

Wanyan Zonghan is the eldest son of Wanyan Sagai, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Jin. This man not only has extremely high military talent, but also has great foresight in governing the country. At this time, the Jurchen tribe established the Kingdom of Jin. It's a completely different model, but no one in Jin country understands this model at all.

Although Jin's cavalry could easily break through the gates of Song, Wanyan Zonghan deeply realized that Jin's civilization was far lower than that of Song, so he needed to learn from Song, and at this time he met Wang Lun, I admire Wang Lun's talent and resourcefulness very much, so I thought of recruiting Wang Lun.

Wanyan Zonghan was not surprised by Wang Lun's refusal. He said with a smile: "Don't refuse in such a hurry, go back and think about it. You were just a small envoy in the Song Dynasty. I can’t get there, but when we arrive in Jin Country, it’s a transshipment envoy on Shandong Road, and you understand the difference.”

The transfer envoy, let alone the position of this official, is actually equivalent to the current tax bureau. The transfer envoy on Shandong Road is an official who is responsible for transferring the taxes collected from Shandong to the country.

This is a really fat job. In that era, even if the taxes collected were quietly transferred to his own home when they were transferred, no one knew that Wanyan Zonghan actually gave Wang Lun such a position when he opened his mouth. That's definitely because they really want to recruit Wang Lun.

Wanyanchang didn't expect Wanyan Zonghan to say that suddenly, his mouth grew in surprise, and wanted to stop him, but Wanyan Zonghan waved his hand to stop what Wanyanchang wanted to say.

"Being a loyal minister does not serve two masters. Although Wang Lun is not talented, he still knows the most basic etiquette and shame. I still can't do such a thing if I betray the master for glory." Wang Lun refused directly without thinking. .

"Boy, I think you are toasting and don't eat fine wine. The general thinks highly of you if you are a transfer envoy. If you dare not obey, be careful of the giant ax in my hand!" Wan Yanchang threatened.

"Wang has already died once, and death is not terrible to me." Wang Lun said neither humble nor overbearing.

"I advise you to think about it carefully. I'll give you one night to think about it. If you don't agree tomorrow morning, then don't blame the general for being rude to you." Wanyan Zonghan said, being rejected in public was a This is a shameful thing, Wanyan Zonghan is naturally very upset.

That night, Wang Lun was locked up.That night, quite a few generals from the Liao Kingdom came to persuade him.

Li Shifu was the last one to come. He was specially arranged by Wanyan Zonghan, because he was the general who surrendered from Song Dynasty. Wanyan Zonghan wanted him to use his own example to persuade Wang Lun to surrender to Jin Kingdom.

"Are you from the Song Dynasty?" Wang Lun asked back after seeing Li Shifu.

Li Shifu smiled wryly, and said: "Li is from Qingjian of the Suide Army. Last year, the Jin army went south and captured Shandong, and Li was forced to surrender."

Wang Lun sneered and said, "Forced to surrender? This sentence is good. Since you are forced to surrender, then you are here now, but are you forced to persuade you to surrender?"

Li Shifu shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "The envoy Wang must look down on me, but Li is different from the envoy. Li's family has more than two hundred people. If the minister does not return, then the whole family will be imprisoned. Li I really don’t want to watch them die miserably.”

Wang Lun sneered at what Li Shifu said, and said, "Since this is the case, you and I have different ways and do not conspire with each other, and you don't use it to persuade Wang. Wang will never surrender to the Kingdom of Jin."

Li Shifu said to Wang Lun: "The king's envoy is loyal and courageous. Li is naturally aware of this. I believe His Majesty is also very clear about this. But at this time, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Only when they are alive can they repay you." If the family and the country are dead, they will die, and there is no meaning."

Wang Lun sneered, and said to Li Shifu: "What General Li said, Wang does not agree, General Wang, please go back, and tell Wan Yan Zonghan by the way, don't waste time sending someone to persuade, I will definitely not The one who agreed to his surrender."

Li Shifu said to Wang Lun with a serious face: "Wang Envoy, Wanyan Zonghan has already murdered you. If you don't agree to his request, you will be beheaded by him in public tomorrow morning."

"As an envoy, I have already disregarded life and death. Even if the gold thief killed me, he would never want me to surrender. I was born as a man of Song Dynasty and died as a ghost of Song Dynasty. This will never be possible. Change." Wang Lun said solemnly.

"Wang Envoy, why are you bothering to keep the green hills without worrying about firewood? Why don't you agree to the Jinren's solicitation first, and then take the opportunity to escape back when there is an opportunity in the future." Li Shifu persuaded.

"Wang can't do such a two-faced thing, so don't bring it up again." After Wang Lun finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and no matter what Li Shifu said afterwards, he would not respond.

Li Shifu shook his head helplessly. He admired Wang Lun's integrity, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was a knife and I was a fish. Now Li Shifu couldn't even save himself, let alone others.

The night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, Wanyan Zonghan had someone bring Wang Lun over.

"One night, how did you think about it?" Wanyan Zonghan asked Wang Lun with a smile, and he looked harmless to humans and animals.

Wang Lun basically couldn't fall asleep all night. He has been persuaded to surrender by many generals and was injured. At this time, his complexion was a bit ugly, but his mental state was good. He said to Wanyan Zonghan: "I have considered it very clearly. Thank you General for your kindness, I will not surrender to the Kingdom of Jin."

Wanyan Zonghan was not angry, and said to Wang Lun, "Have you thought about it? This general's patience has a limit. Do you know the consequences of rejecting this general?"

Wang Lun laughed loudly, and said: "If you want to kill or cut, I listen to you. Wang Lun deserved to die a long time ago. Thanks to His Majesty's grace, he can survive until now. Being killed now is a worthy death, but if you want me to surrender and become a minister, then It's impossible."

"It's hard to persuade you damn ghost, since you want to seek death, then this general will help you, come here, let me withdraw and behead him!" Wanyan Zonghan said angrily.
