He suppressed his anger.
Try to speak in a calm tone:
"Then let's not talk about brothers or grandfather and grandson,"
"Let's only discuss the matter of a truce between the two countries."
"If war breaks out again, it will inevitably lead to immense suffering for the people of both the Jin and Ming dynasties."
Chapter 393 Clearing Suspicion
"His Majesty the Emperor of Great Jin is benevolent,"
"I don't want to see the people suffer anymore,"
"Therefore, we are willing to cease hostilities and negotiate with the Ming Dynasty."
The smile on Zhao Yuan's face disappeared.
Staring intently at Shi Jian, he said:
How dare you say such a thing?
"The people under the rule of the Jin Dynasty,"
How many times were they forced to rise up in rebellion?
"Wanyan Zongwang was defeated and withdrew last year."
"They burned, killed, and looted seven or eight prefectures and counties of my Great Ming Dynasty."
"You're saying now that you don't want to see bloodshed and destruction?"
"Don't spout this nonsense again,"
"Then let's not talk about it!"
Shi Jian was forced to retreat again and again by the rebuttals.
I will never dare to speak such high-sounding words again:
"The two countries hereby cease hostilities, with the former border between the Song and Liao dynasties as the standard."
"how?"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Zhao Yuan actually agreed.
Including Wen Huanzhang,
They all looked at the emperor in surprise.
Before Shi Jian could even feel happy for a few seconds,
Zhao Yuan then said, "Make Wanyan Zonghan hand over all the former Song territory he has seized."
"Return the territory within three months,"
"I then agreed to negotiate peace with the Jin Dynasty."
Shi Jian surprisingly revealed the internal conflicts within the Jin Dynasty, saying:
"Three months is too short,"
Please give me six months.
"Wanyan Zonghan was unruly and rebellious,"
"We need to try harder to persuade them,"
"Your Majesty, please be sure to cease hostilities for six months."
Half a year? That's bullshit.
Three months later,
This year's newly harvested summer grain,
Then it could be transported to Shanxi to fight in the war.
Zhao Yuan flew into a rage: "You said the border would be between the Song and Liao territories!"
"But they said it would take six months to persuade him."
"Even the Jin dynasty itself didn't understand,"
"So you've come here to negotiate with me?"
“Barbarians are barbarians,”
"Get back to Yanshan Prefecture right now!"
"You can come back after you've discussed it yourselves within three months!"
Shi Jian's mission was actually already complete.
He came on behalf of Wanyan Zongwang.
As long as it is confirmed that the Ming Dynasty will not attack Youyan within three months, it will be fine.
As for Wanyan Zonghan being attacked...
This was not a bad thing for Wanyan Zongwang.
Of course, for the overall interests of the Jin state,
Wanyan Zongwang will also send troops to help.
However, the Jin dynasty court and Wanyan Zonghan are required to provide provisions.
Then he reappears as the rescuer.
This will allow you to gain greater prestige.
Moreover, Wanyan Zonghan's faction owes others a favor.
.....
Shi Jian left Tokyo in a dejected manner.
After crossing the Yellow River, we arrived at Chenqiao Town.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The hairstyles of the Jurchen people
It means shaving the front completely.
She had two braids at the back of her head.
Because his ear was cut off by Zhao Yuan during his last diplomatic mission.
Gradually, some Khitan styles were allowed to be retained.
He grew out the hair at his temples.
She scooped up a palm-sized piece of cloth to cover her ears.
Braid the bottom part to gather the ingredients together.
This way, the severed ear can be completely concealed.
They sped back to Yanshan Prefecture.
Shi Li was pleased to see that her son was no longer missing any parts.
He was quite pleased and took him to see Wanyan Zongwang.
Shi Jian recounted the entire conversation in detail, and then said:
"Marshal, when I was staying at the Sifangguan Inn in Kaifeng,"
"He once invited officials from the Court of State Ceremonial of the Ming Dynasty to drink with him."
"Although that person was also rude,"
"But he revealed some information while drunk."
"The Ming emperor prided himself on benevolence and righteousness,"
"Do not impose heavy taxes on the people,"
"The national treasury's funds and provisions have been exhausted by the war."
Chapter 394 Too Unreliable
Wanyan Zongwang was greatly encouraged:
"So, the Ming Dynasty might not launch a large-scale military campaign this year?"
Shi Jian said, "We should at least wait until after the new grain harvest."
"Hmph, they can harvest the new grain,"
"Can't I do it here?"
Wanyan Zongwang smiled confidently.
But that smile was somewhat forced and hollow inside.
Last year, they forcibly requisitioned grain and conscripted soldiers.
There was another rebellion this spring.
Although the rebellion was easily quelled.
However, these events severely impacted agricultural production in the Youyan region.
Shi Li'ai advised him to move all the tribes back to Liaodong.
But in the face of severe food shortages,
A sudden migration would cause many people to starve to death.
Who knows how many more rebellions this will incite?
The Jin dynasty liked to divide and relocate various ethnic groups.
However, they rarely make adequate preparations for migration.
Every migration is a journey of blood and tears.
After discussing it with Shi Li'ai,
Wanyan Zongwang walked towards the Buddhist hall in the inner courtyard.
Inside the Buddhist hall,
Yelü Yuliyan was worshipping Buddha and chanting scriptures.
She was the third daughter of Emperor Tianzuo.
Her title was Princess of Shu.
After being captured, he was immediately taken over by Wanyan Zongwang.
Yu Liyan also has five sisters.
Two of them were even minors.
Wanyan Zongwang went inside.
Yu Liyan continued chanting scriptures.
He didn't disturb them.
Instead, he sat cross-legged on the futon with his eyes closed.
Listening to the chanting of scriptures can calm the mind and relax the body.
This ruthless Jin Dynasty marshal,
Not only did he practice Buddhism,
