Zhao Ning remained unmoved until other officials also said: "Your Majesty, let's listen to what the envoy Jin has to say."

Only then did Zhao Ning sit back, looked at Xilin Helu, and said, "Jin Envoy, please forgive me."

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty."

Xilinhlu came with an important political mission this time.

This political task is to negotiate peace with Song Dynasty.

Xilin Helu added: "On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, the envoy would like to extend sincere greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. May His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty be blessed."

Zhao Ning said calmly: "I'm fine."

Xilin Helu presented it with both hands and said: "This is the credential of His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin."

Li Ruoshui walked over, took the certificate of credence, checked it over and confirmed that there was no problem, then handed it to the chamberlain Wang Huaiji, who then walked up the steps and presented it to Zhao Guan's house.

Zhao Guan's family took it over and it looked like.

They are all standard cliches, with only one core meaning: armistice.

We don’t want the annual coins anymore, and we don’t ask for mutual trading anymore. Let’s cease the war for the sake of the people of the two countries.

What the fuck!

He said that Wanyan Wu Qingmai seemed to be a lover of peace.

Do you want me to award him a "Nobel Peace Prize"?

After Zhao Ning hurriedly read the credentials Wan Yan Wu was begging to buy, he said, "I agree."

Xilin Helu thought that when his Majesty met Zhao Guan's family this time, he would write a memorial that was as long and smelly as those Han civil servants. Unexpectedly, Zhao Guan's family agreed so quickly.

Now that he has completed his mission, there is no need for him to stay in Tokyo any longer.

In the Song Dynasty, countless people squatted there every day, dreaming of hammering their golden envoys into pulp and throwing them to dogs.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time.

So, on this crisp autumn afternoon in the fourth year of Jingkang, the peace talks between the Song and Jin Dynasties were finally reached.

But both parties knew that it was just a peace agreement written in the contract.

When human beings enter into a contract, both parties show unprecedented sincerity.

But when the contract was broken in the blink of an eye, not a hair on his face moved.

On the third day of September, the day after the Jin envoy had just left Tokyo, Zhao Ning sent people to Damingfu and Cangzhou at high speed, and Xuan Zongze and Li Gang returned to Beijing.

On the fourth day of September, Yang Yizhong (Yang Cunzhong) was officially appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Governor's Office, taking charge of military and political supervision.

On the fifth day of September, Zhao Gou was appointed as the agricultural envoy of Jingdong and Dongliang Roads, and immediately set off for Yingtianfu to start agriculture on Jingdong and Liangluo Roads.

On September 15th, Xilin Helu returned to Yanjing and reported to Wanyan Zongwang the results of his mission to the Song Dynasty.

After listening to the report, Wanyan Zongwang also breathed a sigh of relief.

His "Lun on the Rise of the Song Dynasty" has sent people to quietly sneak into the Song Dynasty, just waiting for results.

Liu Yanzong said: "Your Highness, since the Song Dynasty has agreed to a truce, should the market transactions be expanded further?"

"Go and do it, expand more, and speed up the business process!"

"yes!"

Zong Wang began to write begging letters to Wanyan Wu.

The letter he wrote is related to the next internal affairs of the Jin Kingdom.

Now that the two sides have ceased fighting, the Jin Kingdom not only needs to take the opportunity to attack the Mengwu, but also needs to start rectifying it from within.

The internal ethnic conflicts in the Jin Kingdom were fierce, and the territory expanded unprecedentedly. If the Han system was not reformed, the country would be in danger of subjugation.

The suggestions he gave to Wanyan Wu Qimai were roughly divided into the following points:

First, abolish the Bojilie system and govern the country with the Han people’s three-gong, three-province, six-ministry and nine-qing system.

Second, establish civil servants to win over scholars from all over the world.

Third, pursue one system and abolish the dual system of northern and southern Liao.

The third point refers to the fact that the Liao Kingdom had multiple systems in one country.

However, Zong Wang believed that this kind of one country with many systems and incomplete Chineseization was the fundamental reason for the collapse of the Liao Kingdom. The imperial court had weak control over local areas and the local tail was unable to be lost.

Fourth, establish a Privy Council and implement a recruitment system.

These four points have only one core: strengthening the imperial power!

Bo Jilie's political affairs were cancelled, and the emperor became the dictator of one person in military and state affairs.

Establishing civilian officials to govern the country, stabilizing state governments, and repairing internal affairs can replace the original Jurchen military aristocracy's intervention in local areas.

Adhering to one system would be more thorough, direct Chineseization, and strengthen the court's strict control over various places.

The establishment of the Privy Council was undoubtedly aimed at Wanyan Zonghan and others.

The Privy Council takes charge of military affairs, which means that the former Marshal's Office has to hand over power.

As for the recruitment system, it is even more thorough.

The army before the Jurchens was Meng'an Muke, which was equivalent to the Tang Dynasty's imperial army system.

This system not only delays agricultural production, but also easily creates private armies of generals.

For example, Zong Han, Wu Shu and others all had their own private armies.

But the recruitment system is different. The power to recruit soldiers lies with the Privy Council. Anyone who recruits soldiers privately is a rebel.

This is also one of the reasons why no general has been able to rebel since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

Some people in later generations said that Yue Feiwei was too big to lose, but that was because they did not even understand the most basic system of the Song Dynasty.

The biggest pain point of the military recruitment system is that all military expenses have to be paid by the court.

Zong Wang ordered his people to send this letter to Shangjing. This letter was destined to cause a big storm in the Jin Dynasty. It was a comprehensive challenge to the existing power of the Jin Dynasty.

Of course, this is a secret letter that only Wanyan Wu Qimai can read.

After writing this letter, Zong Wang wrote another open letter alone.

This letter is very simple: support Liu Yu to establish a puppet regime in Hejian Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, Zhongshan Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture.

Now that the Song and Jin Dynasties have negotiated peace, from a legal perspective, Hejian Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, Zhongshan Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture still belong to the Song Dynasty, and most of the Han people are gathered here.

These Han people often gathered in crowds to revolt and did not obey the rule of the Jin Kingdom.

Therefore, supporting Liu Yu is to buffer against domestic strategic challenges.

On September 27, I went to Beijing.

The cold wind is howling, and the first snow is falling.

Liu Yu hurried to Wanyanchang's house.

"I'm going to see the Duke of Lu."

Wan Yanchang had a big belly and was drinking. His beard was stained with oil. He didn't even look at Liu Yu and continued to eat and drink while watching the beautiful woman belly dance.

Liu Yu stood aside for half an hour. After Wan Yanchang had enjoyed himself, everyone left, leaving only Liu Yu.

Wan Yanchang said: "Song and Jin have negotiated peace."

"Congratulations to Duke Lu!"

"What's there to congratulate?"

"The Duke of Lu was the promoter of peace negotiations and made great contributions to the court."

Wan Yanchang said: "I plan to recommend you to Hejian Mansion, will you go?"

"Whatever the Duke of Lu asks the subordinates to do, the subordinates will do it."

Liu Yu knew very well that behind Wanyanchang was Wanyan Zongpan.

Wanyan Zongpan is the eldest son of the current emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and he joined Bojilie. Now that the Song and Jin Dynasties are negotiating peace, Wanyan Zongpan has a great reputation within the Jin Kingdom.

"Let you continue to be the emperor of Qi."

Liu Yu was greatly surprised, and was immediately ecstatic. He quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, Duke Lu!"

"Don't be too happy too early. The Song people in Hejian Prefecture and Zhongshan Prefecture are very stubborn in their resistance now."

"Gong Lu, I have a plan!"

"tell me the story."
Chapter completed!
