Wan Yanjing said: "The young envoy often reads Confucian classics and has admired the sacred learning of the Central Plains for a long time."

When everyone heard that this barbarian actually read the book of a saint, they suddenly became proud.

You Jin people are great at fighting, but don’t you also respect Sinology now?

Wanyan Jing continued: "I heard that the Song Dynasty was a country of Chinese etiquette. I wonder if this is true?"

As soon as Zhao Ning heard about this guy, he was ready to set a trap for himself.

This was the routine of lobbyists during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Lobbyist: Is your Majesty a sage monarch?

A certain king: No one understands the sage better than Gu.

Lobbyist: What is a sage monarch?

A certain king: honest and trustworthy, courteous and virtuous, magnanimous, benevolent and virtuous...

Lobbyist: Then why does the king want to invade the territory of other countries? Is it because he takes a fancy to the widow king in the village of another country? He wants to take it for himself? Your Majesty, do your ministers know about this kind of thing? If they know?

Are you still wise? Isn’t this country going to perish?

This routine is to put a high hat on the other party first, and this high hat is in the form of questions, allowing the other party to put it on themselves, and then return to the specific things.

Finally, when you get deeper into governing the country, it seems that if you don’t admit your mistake now, your country will explode on the spot!

Zhao Ning said with a deep expression: "China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times."

Wan Yanjing added: "The Master said: To govern with virtue is like Beichen, who lives in his place and all the stars share it."

Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect this barbarian to casually say something Confucius said.

Wanyan Jing continued: "Old Master Kong said that if you govern by virtue, the king will be like the North Star, his virtue will match the world, and the people of the world will support him as their monarch. Your Majesty the Emperor, would you like to ask the envoy if you have anything to say?

wrong?"

Zhao Ning said: "You are right."

"The young envoy has little talent and little knowledge. Please enlighten me on what is virtue?"

Hu Quan said on the side: "Of course it's character and benevolent government. If you don't cultivate virtue, you won't learn it."

Wanyan Jing added: "What will happen if you lose your virtue?"

Hu Quan continued: "Those who lose their virtue will be lonely."

Wanyan Jing said: "What if the king loses his virtue?"

Hu Quan kept silent.

Zhao Ning said: "If the king loses his virtue, disaster will come from heaven."

A smile appeared on Wanyanjing's face, it was the kind of smile where "the plan succeeds".

He then said: "His Majesty the Emperor governs the world with virtue, why did he lose his virtue?"

Hu Quan angrily scolded: "You are presumptuous! Your Majesty is a benevolent and virtuous king, respected by all the world. You dare to humiliate the emperor in public, what crime should you deserve!"

Zhao Ning smiled and said, "Let Ambassador Jin finish his sentence."

Wanyan Jing continued: "The envoy said that His Majesty has lost his moral character."

"May I ask the Golden Envoy how I lost my virtue?"

"Can the two countries negotiate peace?"

"The Jin envoy has been to Bianjing twice and is currently negotiating peace."

"Since peace talks are ongoing, why did the Song Dynasty suddenly send troops to invade our country? Isn't this unethical?"

Zhao Ning laughed: "What Ambassador Jin said is absolutely true!"

Wanyan Jing was stunned for a moment, but the reaction of Zhao Guan's family was different from what he expected.

I said you were immoral, but you actually said I was absolutely right?

"Then should Your Majesty ask the Song army to withdraw to show the sincerity of the peace talks between the two countries?"

"Withdraw?" Zhao Ning looked confused, "How can I withdraw the army? Ambassador Jin, can you teach me?"

"That army is His Majesty's army. With His Majesty's order, won't the army be withdrawn?"

Wanyan Jing continued to add: "If Your Majesty cannot withdraw the army, wouldn't it be a violation of morality? How can we convince the people of the world and how can we govern our country again?"

Zhao Ning laughed loudly and said to everyone around him: "Everyone, listen up. Violating morality is not enough to govern the country."

However, Wanyanjing felt that the Zhao Guan family behaved strangely. I scolded you, but why were you quite happy?

Zhao Ning's smile gradually narrowed: "Jin Envoy, I ask you, how to withdraw my army?"

Wanyanjing said patiently: "All we need is an order from His Majesty the Emperor."

"What can you do?" Zhao Ning's tone suddenly became sharp, "Just withdraw the army from my territory to my territory?"

Wanyan Jing was slightly startled.

Zhao Ning continued: "Zhending Mansion belongs to the Song Dynasty. My army is maintaining public security in the Song Dynasty. Do I still need to report to you?"

"this……"

"On the contrary, the Kingdom of Jin repeatedly invaded the Song Dynasty, massacred the people, and made the world boil. Isn't this unethical?"

Wanyan Jing wanted to say something, but something stuck in his throat: "I..."

Zhao Ning stared at the envoy Jin with burning eyes and continued to argue: "When you talk about being immoral, do you mean Wanyan Wu begging for money?"

When the envoy Jin couldn't speak, Zhao Ning continued: "It seems that Wanyan Wu was unethical in begging for money. Even his ministers couldn't stand it anymore. He came to our Song Dynasty to criticize Sang and Huai and scolded him. I have done this.

We have to send someone to persuade him!"

Wanyanjing's face was ashen, and he no longer had the same air as before, but he forced himself to argue: "The strong are respected. I, Da Jin, won the Zhending Mansion with my strength. The Zhending Mansion belongs to me, Da Jin. The Song Army is now

The invasion of the army is to blatantly trample on the peace agreement between the two parties, and it is your Majesty's fault!"

Zhao Ning was even more dismissive: "Since the strong are respected, then why shouldn't I send my army north to Zhending and drive it away with a strong army?"

"His Majesty the Emperor, is he going to declare war on me, Daijin?"

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

The officials below were all very nervous.

With the current situation of the Song Dynasty, it is simply impossible to fight.

They didn't know what caused Zhao Guan's family to suddenly run north to challenge the Kingdom of Jin.

Zhao Ning said: "I have ordered our officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty to go to our territory of the Song Dynasty to maintain public order and eliminate banditry. Why did the envoy declare war?"

Zhao Ning's words were heartbreaking. I sent troops to maintain public order in the country, and you said I declared war on you? Do you think you are a gangster?

Wanyanjing was completely speechless and left angrily.

After Wanyan Jing left, Liu Hao, the commander of the Qingyuan Mansion garrison, said: "Your Majesty, do we really want to go to war with the Kingdom of Jin?"

Zhao Ning only said one sentence: "Of course we don't really want to fight, but we must be prepared to fight at any time."

Wanyanjing left Zhending Mansion in a hurry and returned to Yanjing to recover.

Next, Zhao Ning was stationed in Qingyuan Mansion.

Not only did the Song army in Qingyuan Prefecture prepare their troops vigorously, but the Song army in Jizhou also contacted the rebels there on a large scale in the Shenzhou area to carry out scattered attacks on various counties.

These counties had surrendered to the Jin Kingdom before.

However, because the county walls in this area were short and the population was sparse, the Jin Kingdom did not station a large army here.

The main force of the Jin army was mainly stationed in Zhending, Zhongshan and Hejian.

Although it was a small-scale attack, the relationship between the two parties suddenly became extremely tense.

The interesting thing is that the Jin envoy has arrived in Tokyo and is preparing for peace talks between the two sides.

On July 5th, Wan Yanjing returned to Yanjing and told the story of his meeting with Zhao Ning.

After listening, Wanyan Zongwang knew that the Zhao Guan family would not really start a war.

If the Zhao Guan family really wants to launch a war, they will not say that they will go to their own territory to suppress the bandits, but will directly attack and throw out the documents.
