Guo Mo's slow words shocked the Jin State envoy to stand up from his chair again and looked at King Yan of the Song Dynasty in front of him with a look of disbelief.
That's right, the person who sent the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin to the Prince Yan's Mansion in Luoyang was none other than Yelu Chucai.
In real history, Yelu Chucai was a famous politician during the Mongol Empire. He was the eighth grandson of Yelu Bei, King of Dongdan of the Liao Dynasty, and the son of Yelu Lu, the Minister of the Jin Dynasty, Youcheng.
When the official of Jin Dynasty was appointed to the left and right officials, Wai Lang, and the Mongolian army captured Jinzhongdu, Genghis Khan accepted Yelu Chucai as his minister. Yelu Chucai served as assistant to Genghis Khan and his son for more than thirty years, and served as Zhongshu Ling for fourteen years.
Yelu Chucai proposed the Confucian way of governing the country and formulated various governance strategies, which laid the foundation for the development of the Mongol Empire and the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty.
When Naima Zhen was proclaimed the emperor, Yelu Chucai was squeezed out and gradually lost trust, so he died of depression. Later, he was given the title of King Guangning to the great minister Yin Liang of the State Council, who was promoted to Shangzhu Kingdom.
His posthumous title is "Wenzheng".
A man who had returned halfway from the Kingdom of Jin could achieve such political achievements and honors in the complicated Mongol Empire. This man was undoubtedly an anomaly at the time.
Unexpectedly, in this time and space, the imperial court of the Kingdom of Jin retreated to Bianliang in advance, and Yelu Chucai also followed, completely "changing" his destiny.
"Qing Jin, you are a man with lofty ambitions. Whether you are in the military or politics, law, magic, or even calendar literature, you are a rare all-rounder."
"I know that being the magistrate of Xuzhou is still too young, but since you have just arrived, it is not easy for me to put you in a high position rashly. I will use my position as the magistrate of Xuzhou to deal with this natural disaster first."
"In a year and a half, there may be a bigger stage waiting for you. Let's use the name of Prince Yan's Palace as a 'Record Office and Join the Army'. Some things will be easier to operate."
Guo Mo ignored Yelu Chucai's surprise and questions and kept talking to himself. Zhao Rushu and Lao Chengju next to him were also dumbfounded.
Can this still be done?
Your Highness, isn't he in a daze today?
"Well... Your Highness, Messenger Yelu is a messenger sent by the Kingdom of Jin to ask for help, not an official of our Song Dynasty."
Zhao Rushu looked at Guo Mo and reminded him kindly.
"Hey, Zhao Changshi, you can't be so rigid in your vision. Now the Song, Jin, Xixia, Mongolia and other countries stand side by side. Maybe in a few years, China will be unified again."
"We all need to be mentally prepared, otherwise we will be eliminated by history."
"Cheng Shangshu, regarding the conditions that I just mentioned, you have made representations to Wanyan Shouxu of the Jin Kingdom in the dual names of the Ministry of Rites of the Song Dynasty and the Prince of Yan's Palace."
"If he agrees to do this, you will immediately start arranging the official organization of Xuzhou and let Yue Ao personally lead 20,000 'Yue Family Army' to station there."
"If Wanyan Shouxu doesn't agree, it doesn't matter. Let's just put in some trouble and wait two more months. Maybe we can increase our chips a little bit more."
When he said these words, he did not avoid Yelu Chucai at all, so that this man who was full of strategy could not find a word to defend himself and watched old Cheng Jue go out to do things.
"Your Highness King Yan, do you want to force yourself to stay here?"
Yelu Chucai found it difficult to adapt to Guo Mo's rough measures, but he was not willing to just sit back and die.
"Why did Qing Jin say this? When you came as an envoy, all you wanted was to solve the current predicament of the Jin Kingdom. In the face of famine and insufficient food, right?"
"Then we can only buy food or send people away, right? How much has the price of food in Bianliang risen to now? How much food will it cost to solve the problem of food and clothing for these hungry people?"
"I wonder if the Kingdom of Jin has so much money to buy grain. Even if it has money, is Wanyan Shouxu willing to use it to buy grain to help the people?"
"The four prefecture capitals of my country are also suffering from drought. Although some measures have been taken in advance, at most they can only protect themselves."
"If you were my king, would you be willing to let hundreds of thousands of hungry people directly attack these four states? So the purpose of having Xuzhou is just to give the hungry people of the Great Jin Kingdom a place to stay."
"Even if I accept these hungry people, what about the Jin Kingdom's army? They can't come too, right? That's why I am willing to send another 300,000 shi of food to the Jin Kingdom."
"I believe your ruler will be willing to exchange three hundred thousand shi of grain for Jin Qing. As for Jin Qing's freedom, no one will restrict you. You can come and go freely as long as your legs are on your feet."
"It's just that I suggest you take a walk around Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou first, so that you can better carry out local government affairs in Xuzhou in the future."
Well, this still looks like eating the opponent to death.
"you you......"
Yelu Chucai said "you" for a long time without saying a word.
By this time, Wu Nantian had already had meals delivered.
Three meat, three vegetarian and six dishes, this is already a very high standard when the famine is about to come.
"Your Highness, are you planning to celebrate the New Year? It's been a while since I've had such a sumptuous banquet, haha, I'm not welcome -"
Zhao Rushu, who was on the side, spoke first and said that it was a lie that he wanted to eat at the banquet, but it was true that he wanted to tell Yelu Chucai.
Since His Highness wants to recruit this person, as the long history of the Yan Palace, how can he not try his best to deal with it?
The reason why he said this was that Zhao Rushu not only wanted to tell Yelu Chucai that His Highness King Yan valued him, but also wanted to tell Yelu Chucai that His Highness King Yan was usually very frugal.
You can't leave a bad impression on the other party. There is a food shortage outside, and you still have a lot of fish and meat in Prince Yan's palace. How is this inappropriate?
"Haha, Jin Qing came by chance. If he had come a few months earlier, it would have been more sumptuous. Now it is already considered a luxury."
"However, although the food is not that interesting, the wine is not bad. 'Hero's Drunk' or 'Beauty's Tears', Jin Qing, please choose one——"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After another warm reception, Guo Mo, Zhao Rushu and Yelu Chucai sat down at the table, and not long after, old Cheng Jui also ran back in a hurry.
"Your Highness, you are not kind. You arranged for Lao Cheng to go out to work, but you are here drinking heavily and eating meat from a big bowl. Lao Cheng wants to accuse you of 'abusing an old minister' -"
Old Cheng Ju didn't need anyone to greet him, he sat down next to him consciously, and also slapped the "Hero Drunk" away from the table.
Seeing the way the monarch and his ministers got along in front of him, even the knowledgeable and experienced Yelv Chucai was stunned. Remembering the scene of listening to a book in the back house just now, Yelu Chucai fell into deep thought.
All this shows that the King of Yan Guo Mo in front of him is exactly like the founding king of the country, right?
However, he is just a vassal king. Although he was given the name "Zhao Hao" by the officials of the Song Dynasty, his surname is Guo. Can such a person finally reach the top?
Thinking of this, when Yelu Chucai looked at Guo Mo again, his eyes showed "sympathy", and he felt "sympathizing with each other" in his heart.
"Come, Your Highness, King Yan, is a man of great talent and strategy. I can't compare with you, so I will lend you flowers and offer him a toast. This 'Hero's Drunk' can be sold for two hundred taels of silver a jar in Bianliang, so it is still priceless but has no market."
Since he couldn't think of a countermeasure for the time being, Yelu Chucai simply didn't think about it for the time being.
Didn’t His Highness King Yan already ask Cheng Shangshu to make conditions for Bianliang?
Then he would simply wait a few more days in Luoyang City. Yelu Chucai also wanted to see how important he was in the mind of Emperor Jin under the current circumstances.
However, Yelu Chucai had no confidence at all.
Not to mention the current harsh situation, even in normal times, 300,000 shi of food is not a small amount.
From Luoyang to Bianliang, the journey is about four hundred miles, and it is an official road. If you really ride a fast horse, you can get there in a day or night.
Even officials from the Ministry of Rites arrived in Bianliang City one day later.
Upon hearing that an envoy had arrived from Luoyang, Emperor Wanyan Shouxu of the Kingdom of Jin hurriedly summoned the civil and military ministers in Longde Palace to discuss how to deal with the matter.
Since the founding of the Jin Kingdom, most of the top officials in the court, whether civil servants or military generals, were named Wanyan.
Just like now, those who can stand in Longde Palace are Wanyan Saibu, Wanyan Baisa, Wanyan Shilu, etc.
"My lords, I heard that the envoy sent by King Yan of the Song Dynasty has already moved into the post house. I wonder what your rules are?"
Yelu Chucai was away, so Wanyan Shouxu had a chance to brainstorm ideas. Shi Anshi was undoubtedly the more resourceful person among these people.
"Your Majesty, it has only been four days since Yelu Jinqing went to Luoyang as an envoy, and the other party's envoy has already arrived in Bianliang City. It can be seen that our plan was already anticipated by the other party."
"It's a pity that the general trend is not in our favor. In the opinion of my veteran minister, His Royal Highness King Yan of the Song Dynasty will definitely have another opportunity for the lion to open his mouth."
"See you sooner or later. It's better to recruit him directly into the palace and discuss the matter clearly in front of all the ministers. If you delay it, it will be detrimental to me, Dai Jin."
What Master Anshi said was definitely the advice of an experienced scholar to seek the country.
If we delay for a few more days, the drought in the Jin Kingdom will be serious for a few more days, and we will be even more passive when negotiating deals with the Song Dynasty.
The others had no objections, so Wanyan Shouxu issued an edict to invite the envoys from Luoyang to Longde Palace.
Because the conditions given by Guo Mo were very clear, rather than sending an envoy, it was better to say that he sent a messenger, without any negotiation task.
If they agree, the two parties will start the transaction. If they don't agree, they will wait.
The regulations of the Ministry of Rites submitted by the envoy were written by Old Cheng Jue himself, which was exactly what Guo Mo meant. The signature was stamped with the seals of the Ministry of Rites and Prince Yan's Palace.
"I already understand what His Highness King Yan means. I would like to ask your envoy to wait in the post house for a while. After discussing with all the ministers, I will give King Yan a reply."
Seeing the appearance of the other party's messenger, Wanyan Shouxu knew that he was thinking too much and was thinking about how to deal with the other party's messenger. Unexpectedly, he was just a messenger.
"My lords, King Yan of the Song Dynasty has already made conditions. What do you think?"
The content of the article is very simple. The Song Dynasty is willing to accept all the hungry people of the Jin Kingdom and give away 300,000 shi of grain for free. If you want to buy it, it will be extra.
The Jin State ceded the entire Xuzhou and gave Yelu Chucai to the Song Dynasty. He served as a minister under the king of Yan and served as the magistrate of Xuzhou.
This condition, strictly speaking, is not a big deal.
Xuzhou is now the junction of the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. Since the main force of the "Yue Family Army" was stationed in Ruzhou City, most of the Jin people in Xuzhou moved eastward, and there were not many people left.
The way Jin wanted to solve the problem was to obtain food and evacuate the hungry people, both of which were included in this article, and both were achieved.
If this was implemented, the Jin Kingdom not only got rid of the burden of hungry people and avoided the hidden dangers caused by unrest, but also obtained 300,000 shi of grain.
One stone of food saved can feed an adult for three months. The three hundred thousand stone of food is enough to consume his one hundred thousand gold army for more than half a year. This has indeed solved an urgent need.
However, getting these requires paying a price, and the price is the entire Xuzhou and Yelu Chucai.
It's okay to say that Xuzhou is a useless place now. Anyway, without Xuzhou, the defense line will just move further east.
However, I didn't expect that the other party would exchange Yelv Chucai for Yelu Chucai. What's even more dazzling is that the clause clearly stated "Exchange 300,000 stones of grain for Yelu Chucai!"
How grand, how heroic, and how irresistible!
Not only Wanyan Shouxu, but also several other important ministers of the Jin Kingdom in the Longde Palace saw it, and all of their teeth felt itchy, not with hatred, but with soreness.
The ministers wanted to change Yelu Chucai's name to their own, not because they wanted to betray Dai Jin, but out of naked envy.
Wanyan Shouxu was also envious, envied Guo Mo's wealth, and envied Guo Mo's heroic spirit.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! We are also leaders, but the other party is just a prince, but I am the majestic Emperor of Jin. Isn’t this a big difference?
Wanyan Shouxu was even thinking, if he and Guo Mo were to change places, would he be willing to spend 300,000 shi of grain in exchange for Yelv Chucai today when grain prices are soaring?
Wanyan Baisa glanced at everyone and saw that everyone had lowered their eyebrows and said nothing, so he stepped forward and spoke.
"Your Majesty, I thought I could promise the other party, but in fact we just used a useless Xuzhou in exchange for 300,000 shi of food from the other party, and we were able to get rid of those hungry people."
"This is such a good deal. Even the generals think that the other party's King Yan is losing his mind and going crazy. How could he propose such a deal condition?"
Wanyan Baisa was withdrawn from Guanzhong. In the eyes of clan generals like him, people like Yelu Chucai were just literati who had read a few more books.
Apart from wagging their lips and wagging their lips in front of His Majesty all day long, it has no practical use at all. When the enemy comes, it will be the generals like them who take action.
Shi Anshi, who was standing next to him, frowned. After looking at the people in Longde Palace who were mostly members of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, the old man swallowed what he wanted to say.
Wanyan Saibu frowned in the same way. He was also a member of the Jin Dynasty clan and a descendant of Wanyan Baohuli, the younger brother of Wanyan Hanpu, the founder of the Jin Dynasty.
With a majestic appearance, a deep, loyal and strategic person, Wanyansai was not born in the personal guard. When he arrived at Jin Zhangzong, he was selected as a bodyguard.
He successively served as the governor of Ninghua Prefecture, the military governor of Huli Kailuo Road, the commander of the Wuwei Army, the left deputy commander in front of the palace, the co-signer of the Privy Council, the informant of Lintao Prefecture, and the deputy commander of the army of Shaanxi Road.
Now he is the Privy Councilor of the Kingdom of Jin. He is a high-ranking official, but he is a little older and has not been in good health in recent years. He has rarely made suggestions in the court.
"Your Majesty, I think we can follow the conditions set by King Yan of the Song Dynasty, but we must have our own opinions and not be completely led by the other party."
"First of all, we cannot agree to the other party's conditions immediately. Even if the situation is urgent, we cannot agree immediately. We still have to delay for a few days."
"Secondly, recall Yelu Chucai, catch him for a single mistake, demote him from Bianliang, and give him the position of magistrate of Xuzhou in recognition of his many years of service to the Jin Dynasty."
"At this time, His Majesty sent another envoy to agree to the conditions of King Yan of the Song Dynasty, ceding Xuzhou in exchange for 300,000 shi of grain, and issued a notice in the Kingdom of Jin that Xuzhou had food, and those who were short of food could move to Xuzhou
live."
"When Xuzhou was ceded, we withdrew the garrison. As for the officials' withdrawal, it was all voluntary. Since the other party asked for this Yelu Chucai, I think they may have reached a deal secretly."
Wanyan Sai still had his moments, he was considered a man who could be both a general and a general. At the critical moment, he still wanted to protect the face and interests of the Jin Kingdom, downplaying the 300,000 shi of grain that he had exchanged for Yelu Chucai.
"What? You said that boy Yelu Chucai has secretly surrendered to the Song Dynasty? When he comes back, I will definitely rip off his head——"
After hearing this, Wanyan Baisa next to me became extremely angry and screamed.
"Shut up! From today on, you will stay at home and think about your mistakes. If you dare to step out of the house without my permission, I will break your legs!"
Wanyan Bai's words just now made Wanyan Saibu a little angry, and he even saw the way Shi Anshi hesitated to speak.
Hearing Wanyan Baisa's nonsense again, Wanyan Sai couldn't bear it any longer. Regardless of the presence of Emperor Dajin, he severely reprimanded Wanyan Baisa in public.
In terms of official position, Wanyan Sai was not the Privy Councilor of the Kingdom of Jin, but held a high and powerful position;
In terms of seniority, Wanyan Saibu is Wanyan Baisha's father. Even Wanyan Baisha's father has to call Wanyan Saibu "big brother" when he sees Wanyan Saibu.
"Okay, let's do what the Privy Council envoy said. Taking the overall situation of our country as our top priority, I have no choice but to feel sorry for Jin Qing and let him come back first."
...
Guo Mo continued his normal daily life, but Yelu Chucai actually settled in Prince Yan's Mansion with peace of mind, and went to listen to Guo Mo's "The Romance of the Gods" with Zhao Rushu and Cheng Ju every day.
Three days later, the envoy sent to Bianliang City came back. He did not bring back a reply from the Emperor of Jin, but said that the other party wanted to discuss it seriously.
Two days later, another person came from Bianliang City, but they came to summon Yelu Chucai back. They said that His Majesty had something important to discuss with him and asked him to come back as soon as possible.
Yelu Chucai had no choice but to bid farewell to Guo Mo.
Guo Mo didn't try to persuade him to stay, he just said: I will be waiting for you in Luoyang City!
Yelu Chucai left anyway, full of confusion.
He didn't understand why His Majesty didn't make a decision as soon as possible. Don't you know that one more day of delay means one more day of risk?
"Your Highness, why didn't you tell Yelu Chucai that he had been abandoned by the emperor of the Jin Kingdom?"
After Yelu Chucai left, old Cheng Ju asked puzzledly.
"Haha, Old Cheng, don't think about it. If a proud and arrogant person like Yelu Chucai is not allowed to go back and suffer a personal blow, how will he be able to work for His Highness wholeheartedly in the future?"
Before Guo Mo could speak, Zhao Rushu next to him gave him an explanation.
"Hey, Lao Zhao, my dear uncle, am I as sinister as you think? Why do you always think of me in an evil way? This king is helping Yelu Chucai's growth -
—”
In Guo Mo's hand, he was holding the secret messages that had been sent back from Bianliang City one after another in the past few days. They were all sent back by the "Tingfeng" who was stationed in Bianliang City.
Bianliang City, as the capital of the Jin Kingdom, is so close to Luoyang City. There have been quite a few "Tingfeng" members lurking in Bianliang in the past few years.
Spread across all walks of life, even in the palace of Daijin, there are informants bribed by "Tingfeng".
Therefore, a secret report about what happened that day in the Longde Palace of the Golden Palace was placed on Guo Mo's desk early on the third day.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Guo Mo clearly understood Wanyan Sai's little tricks, but he did not intend to expose him. He would have his own way to deal with him afterwards.
In Guo Mo's eyes, the hungry people and Yelvchu materials abandoned by the Jin Kingdom were much more important than the 300,000 stones of grain and the entire Xuzhou City.
Population and talent are the basis for determining the final outcome of the struggle between countries. Of course, you need to fill your stomach first.
After this back and forth, another six or seven days passed.
"The Romance of the Gods" was already halfway through, but everyone's emotions were still high. Even Du Gao, who was also the governor of Henan Province, intentionally or unintentionally created several more "accidents" after hearing about it by chance.
Huang Rong was also in confinement, and the fourth child in their family, "Leizhenzi", was particularly good at eating. For this reason, Prince Yan's Mansion specially found two wet nurses.
In just one month, Guo Mo felt that this kid had grown up a lot. Could it be that this guy was not "Lei Zhenzi" but "Nezha"?
Well, they are always talking about "The Romance of the Gods" recently, and even Guo Mo himself is a little bit stunned.
In Prince Yan's mansion, the atmosphere of martial arts training became surprisingly stronger.
What Guo Mo told was completely myths and legends, but these people invariably thought of going somewhere else.
In the world of martial arts, martial arts are divided into different levels, and most people are not in the upper echelon.
Those who have practiced to a certain level, enough to be seen at a glance, are in the third-rate realm. Such people can be called masters, but they are just "third-rate masters."
Many gang leaders or elders of small sects in the world are at this level.
After decades of training, or in some large and medium-sized sects with inheritance, their outstanding inner disciples, sect leaders, and elders will have the opportunity to be promoted to the second-rate realm.
Second-rate masters are already the mainstay in the world. As long as they are famous and praised by people in the world, most of them are really second-rate masters.
As for top-notch experts, they rarely stay in a fixed place.
Either they live in seclusion, or they travel around the world all year round, or they are attached to a big force, or even directly serve the royal family.
The Grandmaster level is the "top master" in martial arts. At this time, it is generally recognized that it is the "Five Masters" that became famous all over the world after the sword debate in Huashan more than 20 years ago.
The realm after the "extreme master" has long existed, but it is spread in a smaller range. For many people, a figure of that level is more than a legend.
Such as "half-step innate" or "innate master". As for whether there is a realm beyond "innate master", no one knows.
Even Guo Mo couldn't explain clearly at the moment.
After all, he has not fully understood the "Guiyuan Sword Technique" he obtained.
However, these few people in Prince Yan's mansion now blindly feel that there must be a higher realm than the "innate masters"!
Is this a sequelae of listening to "The Romance of the Gods"?
When Guo Mo heard about this, he just smiled bitterly and didn't go to explain to everyone. After all, he didn't understand it himself.
Since these boys are willing to believe this, let them go. As long as they can be urged to practice martial arts in disguise, Guo Mo doesn't bother to reason.
Guo Mo's attitude was regarded as "default" in the eyes of those people, and his enthusiasm for practicing became even higher.
Everyone knows Guo Mo's level, that is, he is the legendary "innate master", but they will not believe that Guo Mo will never advance again from now on.
So, what about yourself?
Let’s get to the first-class realm first.
As the August Festival approaches, "The Romance of the Gods" has finally come to an end.
In order to talk about the rest of the story well, Guo Mo also deliberately tightened the rhythm, changing it from three times a day to two times a day.
Chapter 99: Jiang Ziya returns to his country and becomes a god
Chapter 100: Emperor Zhou enfeoffed all the countries
Tianhuang allocates enough to bear the burden,
Following the description of Cuan Mo, he is more self-respecting.
Isn't it just a hairpin that can lead to fertility?
He also participated in the Zong Dynasty from Jianlu.
The help of a peaceful country can put an end to chaos,
The power of the ceremony is said to be a good complement to the mink.
Always bring blessings to the Zhou family,
The same name is used to describe the beginning of chaos in the land.
The latest information was also sent to Bianliang City. Yelu Chucai was demoted from Bianliang in the name of "accepting bribes."
It turned out that Yelu Chucai's wife had just given birth to a daughter, and she already had two sons. The couple had long been looking forward to having a daughter, but they didn't expect that they actually got their wish.
Therefore, when Yelu Chucai returned from Luoyang City, when his daughter was one month old, he invited several of his close colleagues in the court to come to his home for a gathering.
In addition, when Yelu Chucai went back, Guo Mo didn't let him go back empty-handed. He asked him to bring two jars of five-pound "Hero Drunk".
It's not that Guo Mo is stingy, it's just that production has stopped recently and he doesn't have much in stock. Besides, if he really brings too much back, he might cause unnecessary trouble to Yelu Chucai.
It just so happened that Yelu Chucai took advantage of the opportunity of his daughter's full moon drink to let several friends have a taste of this rare "hero's drunkenness".
They were said to be several colleagues, but in fact there were only four of them, two of whom were his half-brothers. The eldest brother Yelu Biancai and the second brother Yelu Shancai were both officials in the court.
The two older brothers, Yelu Chu, have a lot of talent and are already in their fifties.
Their late father, Yelu Lu, had already passed away when Yelu Chucai was more than one year old. He became a minister in government affairs and eventually became the Minister of Finance to You Cheng.
Such a small-scale gathering was more like a family gathering, but it was also impeached by the censor.
After all, Yelu Chucai invited everyone to have a drink, including his daughter's full moon wine, and they all came with gifts. This was the basis and evidence for the censor's impeachment.
Impeaching him for "accepting bribes" can be regarded as a well-known example and the evidence is conclusive.
Even though some court officials went out to plead for Yelu Chucai, they still could not avoid being demoted.
However, Wanyan Shouxu seemed to care about his old friendship, and also took care of the face of the ministers who asked for favors at that time. He did not kill Yelu Chucai to the end, but was demoted to Xuzhou as the magistrate.
You know, Xuzhou in the Jin Kingdom is now considered a "border state".
Wanyan Shouxu took his magnanimity to the extreme and allowed himself, his former favorite, to take office with all his family members.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So, in the convoy of Yelu Chucai leaving Bianliang, there was an extra carriage, in which sat the newly full-moon wife and their two children.
The eldest son, Yelu Zhu, is sixteen years old. He is riding on a horse to accompany his father. He is dressed like a scholar and has read a lot of good books. He originally planned to participate in the autumn festival next year.
The second son is only five years old, the same age as Guo Yi and Guo Xiang, but the newly born daughter is a few days younger than Guo Yao.
The colleagues who saw him off kept comforting Yelu Chucai.
Some people also promised emphatically that after some time His Majesty calms down, they will write a letter to ask His Majesty to recruit him back.
Yelu Chucai just smiled. When he heard that he had been demoted to Xuzhou, he knew that his Majesty was still ready to agree to His Highness King Yan's conditions.
In other words, between 300,000 shi of grain and his Yelu Chucai, His Majesty the Emperor of Jin chose the former, but his Yelu Chucai was ruthlessly abandoned.
Yelu Chucai knew it well, but told no one, not even his married wife and eldest son who had grown up.
Finally, looking back at the city gate of Bianliang, Yelu Chucai said silently in his heart.
"I, Yelu Chucai, will come back again—"
Within two days, Emperor Wanyan Shouxu of the Kingdom of Jin once again sent an envoy to Luoyang City for "negotiations" for the sake of the well-being of the people of Jin Dynasty.
Finally, after friendly negotiations, the two parties reached a political deal that pleased everyone.
Dai Jin exchanged the entire Xuzhou for 300,000 shi of grain. All the hungry people in the Jin Kingdom could go to Xuzhou for food.
This was stated in the notice posted by the Jin Kingdom. Immediately, Wanyan Shouxu won the praise of soldiers and civilians across the country.
After Guo Mo sent officials and the "Yue Family Army" to completely recover Xuzhou, the Yan Palace also posted a notice, and the content of the notice itself was all the terms of the alliance signed between the Song and Jin Dynasties.
The sentence "Exchange 300,000 shi of grain for Yelu Chucai" stands out among the list!
And through the "Tingfeng" organization, it spread to all directions.
Suddenly, Yelu Chucai's name resounded throughout the north and south of the Yangtze River, both inside and outside the Great Wall.
Luoyang City, East Gate.
King Yan Guo Mo took Zhao Rushu, the left chief of the Yan Palace, and Cheng Ju, the left commander of the Yan Palace, as well as several young men who were practicing martial arts in the Yan Palace to greet him at the east gate.
"His Royal Highness King Yan——"
Still far away, Yelu Chucai saw Guo Mo waiting at the city gate.
He hurriedly jumped off the horse, led the horse and carried his second son forward.
Yelu Chucai received a personal letter from Guo Mo, inviting him to Luoyang City and asking him to bring his second son.
This request made Yelu Chucai a little confused for a while.
"Husband, does His Highness Prince Yan want the second boy to be a hostage?"
Yelu Chucai couldn't figure it out, but his wife made random guesses.
Yelu Chucai didn't answer, and he didn't know the answer either.
I had no choice but to settle down at home first and hit the road alone with my five-year-old second son.
"Haha, Jin Qing, I've finally come to you—"
Seeing Yelu Chucai walking towards the city gate, Guo Mo also led others to greet him.
"Your Highness, Chu Cai is late -"
Saying "It's too late" made Yelu Chucai so excited that he shed tears.
Guo Mo didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder and said nothing.
"This is your second son, right? He really looks like a tiger with a tough head, and his eyes are bright enough——"
When they met, Guo Mo's eyes were always fixed on Yelu Chucai's second son, who was more than five years old, sitting on the horse.
"Your Highness, this is your second son. He is over five years old this year. His name is... Your Highness——"
Yelu Chucai was introducing his second son when he suddenly saw Guo Mo carrying his second son off the horse.
"Haha, Jin Qing, I have already accepted five disciples. You, a second-rate brat, just become a closed disciple for me——"
"ah--"
Yelu Chucai was confused, why is this happening?
"Your Highness, are you serious? Can you tell me why you treat me, a foreign minister, so politely?"
"Haha, I am treating you politely because you are a talented person with great talents. I, the King, need your help to dominate the world."
"As for accepting this boy as a closed disciple, it has nothing to do with you."
Yelu Chucai is confused again. Does it have anything to do with me?
