Chapter 262: Peace Proposal, King Quan Comes
He went to the palace several times to ask for an audience with the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou. Finally, Zhao Gou agreed to Tang Si Tui and others and came forward to persuade Zhao Shen. Once, Zhao Gou was also a prisoner of the Jin Kingdom. He had unimaginable fear of the Jin Kingdom, so Tang Si Tui The ideas of others almost coincide with his.
Zhao Gou agreed, and Tang Situi and others were naturally extremely happy. However, they did not know that Zhao Shen had completely hated them. As long as there was a suitable opportunity, he would never show mercy and suppress them to the bottom.
The Song Dynasty was founded on loyalty and filial piety. Therefore, in the face of Zhao Gou's persuasion, Zhao Shen was furious, but he had to agree in the end.
When the court came again in the morning, Zhao Shen, who came from Shi Shiran, sat on the dragon chair under the respectful waiting of all the courtiers.
"If you have something to do, please report early, if nothing happens, leave the court!" the eunuch shouted loudly, and as soon as he finished speaking, Tang Si retired and left the court again.
"Your Majesty, Tang Situi, is reporting that now that the war in the North has been successful, Zhang Jun should be ordered to send all the garrison troops back to their bases as soon as possible, and to retreat to our territory of the Song Dynasty as soon as possible to avoid misunderstandings. In addition, the Holy Spirit should send envoys there as soon as possible. Peace talks between the Jin Kingdom and the elimination of misunderstandings about this war. In this way, only when the two countries are in harmony can we have peace in the Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Shen took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and slowly asked: "Tang Aiqing, if we send an envoy, who is more suitable?"
Hearing that the Holy One finally softened his tone, Tang Situi and others were overjoyed, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, there is Wang Bian who knows everything about the family, is loyal, and is very good at speaking. He is the best choice to go to the Kingdom of Jin." !”
There are naturally many people who can go to the Kingdom of Jin as envoys, but this Wang Bian has a discipleship relationship with Tang Situi. Therefore, Tang Situi rejected his disciples. One of them can control the situation of the peace talks and enter the city. Secondly, the current Wang Bian is only a sixth-grade official. If he goes to the Kingdom of Jin as an envoy, he must upgrade his grade. This is the fastest way to get promoted. When the peace talks are successful, I will help him to ask for credit. It won't take long. Can become one of the backbones of the Lord Harmony Sect.
Zhao Shen was silent for a moment. How could he know who this Wang Bian was? However, he knew without thinking that he must be one of the officials from Tang Situi and others. Going to the Northland for peace talks, if they elected a main war faction character, isn’t that a joke?
However, Zhao Shen was really unwilling to give in, so he surrendered to the Jin Kingdom. Although the Song Dynasty did not win in the battle of Sizhou, it was not defeated, right? Why should he take the initiative to seek peace? With the face of the Jin State, he took the initiative on his own If you send an envoy to sue for peace, you will definitely have to bleed with blood and cede territory and pay compensation to your side.
For the people of the Lord Harmony Sect, the world does not belong to them anyway. Spending a mere amount of money can prevent the Jin Kingdom from conquering the south, and they can control this colorful world with peace of mind. Everything is worth it.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Shen said calmly: "Please step back first. I will think about it and make my decision tomorrow."
Tang Si retreated and didn't dare to push too hard. Fortunately, Zhao Shen had already agreed. It didn't matter if the decree came one day earlier or later!
Afterwards, everyone asked for some trivial matters, and then the court meeting came to an end.
After Zhao Shen returned to the palace, he closed his eyes and meditated. When the Supreme Emperor came forward, the entire court was restrained. He could not agree to anything he sent envoys to discuss. However, it was not his wish to send out the envoys of the Lord Peace Sect to sue for peace. However, if he sends someone from the main war faction as an envoy, Tang Situi and others will naturally not agree. When the time comes, there will be another dispute in the court. Is this the only way to accept it?
As an emperor, he could not act according to his own intentions, which undoubtedly made Zhao Shen extremely angry.
Suddenly, Zhao Shen's eyes flashed, and he shouted to the eunuch beside him, "Wang Quan, please quickly send the number one scholar Shen Tang to enter the palace!"
There was some doubt in Wang Quan's eyes, but he bowed and left.
The reason why Shen Tang was mentioned was that Zhao Shen suddenly thought that maybe Shen Tang would be the most suitable candidate for the envoy! He has close friendships with Zhang Jun, Shi Hao and others. Although he is not a member of the main war faction, he At least he was leaning towards the main war faction. However, Tang Situi and others did not know his identity. In fact, they personally rejected Shen Tang as the number one scholar. In this case, if Shen Tang was ordered to be the envoy , not only can the intention of the Lord Harmony Sect be restricted to the greatest extent, but it will also prevent the people of the Lord Harmony Sect from being too opposed.
After all, in the eyes of Tang Situi and others, although Shen Tang is not considered one of his own, he does have great favor from them and others.
In the past few days, Shen Tang has been leisurely accompanying Xiang Ling and Mu Yu at home. Naturally, he knows all the news about the war situation in the North. News comes from Dark Night Pavilion almost every day.
Everything in the situation in the Northland was within his plan, so Shen Tang was naturally very relieved. He was also thinking about what to do next after the situation in the Northland eased. However, for a while, he didn't have much clue.
"Mr. Shen, how about we go back to Taihu Lake in a few days? Mu Yu wants to show them how outstanding the husband I have chosen is!" With a bit of admiration, Shao Muyu focused his eyes on Shen Tang. .
In fact, showing off is fake, but it is real to make Shen Tang famous in front of his family.
Shao Muyu knew very well how difficult it was for him to marry Shen Tang. But now, the reputation of the number one scholar could undoubtedly add a lot of weight to Shen Tang, and could also ease the doubts in his parents' minds a little.
"Okay! It happens to be the tenth day of the Qingming Festival, and the scenery of Taihu Lake is just right!" Shen Tang said with a smile.
"master……"
At this moment, Qian Hong hurriedly came with a person. When he saw the face of the person behind Qian Hong clearly, Shen Tang was shocked. Wasn't this the eunuch who was following the Holy Emperor?
After giving the two girls a wink, the two girls turned around and returned to the inner hall, while Shen Tang stepped forward to greet you, and took the initiative to salute and said, "Shen Tang has met you, sir!"
Wang Quan chuckled softly, "Master Zhuangyuan, our family is not worthy of being called adults. Our surname is Wang, and we usually follow the Lord beside him. Zhuangyuanlang only needs to be called Mr. Wang!"
Shen Tang stood up and greeted him politely, "Master Manager, please come in..."
However, Wang Quan waved his hand and said, "Forget the small talk, the Holy Sage is waiting for you. Please quickly change your clothes and come with us to the palace to meet the Holy Sage."
"Ah!" Shen Tang was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He asked Qian Hong to accompany Wang Quan, and he quickly entered the inner hall to change his clothes, and then hurried towards the palace with Wang Quan.
When they arrived outside the palace gate, the two got off the sedan chair, but Shen Tang followed closely and came to Wang Quan's side. He stretched out his hand and quietly thrust a silver note into Wang Quan's hand.
"Sir Wang, a small courtesy is not disrespectful. Shen Tangshan is a rough man and does not understand the rules. If there is anything that needs attention in the palace from now on, I need to be reminded by you."
