"The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Jin, Du Min, pays homage to His Majesty the Kingdom of Song!"
The leader of the Jin envoy bowed respectfully, and then presented Zhao Shen with special gifts brought from the Kingdom of Jin and so on!
Zhao Shen was extremely grateful for Du Min's respect! You must know that before the peace negotiations between Song and Jin, the envoys of the Jin Kingdom had no respect for the emperor of the Song family.
Even in the main hall, it was not unheard of for the emperor of the Song Dynasty to curse in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
"You have come a long way, thank you for your hard work!"
Zhao Shen said with a smile, "I wonder why Aiqing is here?"
Du Min bowed respectfully again, and then said, "Your Majesty, I am here because of the evil things that happened in Lianli City not long ago."
"Now, although Lianli City is under His Majesty's management, after all, I, the Princess of Jin Kingdom, are also among them.
Not long ago, there was actually an attack by horse bandits in Lianli City.
When His Majesty the Jin Kingdom learned of this, he was extremely furious! First, he sent troops from the Daming Prefecture to wipe out all the horse bandits in Shandong.
Then, I ordered my ministers to go to your country as envoys and severely punish their envoys."
Du Min's words made Zhao Shen frown. Even if the murderer is to be punished, it is my business, Song Dynasty, right? What does it have to do with your Kingdom of Jin?
However, the next moment, a light flashed in Zhao Shen's eyes!
First of all, it is not unreasonable for the Jin Kingdom to come here.
If I was in someone else's shoes, I probably wouldn't be able to help but do the same thing.
In addition, the envoys from the Jin Kingdom this time were actually led by Prime Minister Zuo, which is enough to show that the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom attached great importance to this matter.
The imperial structure of the Jin Kingdom was basically similar to that of the Song Dynasty, with the core department being the Shangshu Province.
The Shangshu Province is headed by Shangshu Ling, and under him are the left and right prime ministers.
Du Min, who is in front of him, can even be said to be the second-in-command in the Jin Dynasty court.
Secondly, and most importantly, isn’t it that I have a headache now because of this matter?
But now that the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin has arrived, he can just take advantage of it.
Those people can force themselves, but when they see the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin, they will retreat.
Although this fact is unpleasant, this is indeed an opportunity.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Shen said calmly, "What Ai Qing said is true! Geng Wang, the magistrate of Lianli City, dared to collude with the horse bandits and commit such a treasonous act, and he will be punished with death.
Since the Golden Envoy is here on behalf of Your Majesty, I naturally respect your opinion.
In my opinion, how about leaving this matter to Aiqing for the time being?
My dear, you can interrogate Geng Wang first, and after the interrogation is over, you will naturally make a decision on whether to kill or release him!"
Originally, Zhao Shen thought that Du Min would refuse. After all, this matter is now a whirlpool.
However, what surprised Zhao Shen was that when Nadu Min heard this, he treated him as a salute.
"I respect the will of the Holy One!"
Although there were some surprises, it was ultimately beneficial to him, so Zhao Shen nodded, "Zhang Aiqing, I'll leave this matter to you! You will personally accompany the envoy in all his actions, and no one can stop him!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jun quickly saluted and accepted the order!
The arrival of the Jin Dynasty made the pressure on Zhao Shen suddenly decrease! Now that the Jin Kingdom intervenes is really mysterious, I guess it will make those people dumbfounded for a while.
Zhao Shen's guess was good. What happened in the main hall quickly spread.
The Jin Kingdom's intervention in this matter directly shocked all the civil servants! Even Zhu Zhuo, who was behind all this, looked solemn.
"How come we didn't get any news when the golden envoy arrived?"
In Zhu Zhuo's mansion, he asked Tang Sihui in a solemn voice.
Tang Situi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, "Sir, the area north of Sizhou is now under the control of Li Xianzhong. It is really difficult for us to deploy manpower! After all, this place belonged to the Jin Kingdom before. There is no arrangement in advance.
Moreover, according to my guess, the traces of the arrival of the golden envoy were probably deliberately concealed by Zhang Jun and others. It is even possible that the arrival of the golden envoy was originally caused by certain people.
After all, our Song Dynasty has a prince-in-law from the Jin Kingdom."
"Given his status in the Kingdom of Jin and the King's fancy for him, it is not difficult to act in this play!"
"Tang Xiang means that this golden envoy is fake?"
Chen Kangbai on the side asked in shock.
Zhu Zhuo shook his head and said, "Jin Shi naturally can't fake it, and Jin Shi's identity is absolutely true.
However, it is not clear whether it was the Emperor of Jin who sent it or whether Shen Tang was behind it."
It’s no wonder these people speculated like this. The timing of the arrival of the Golden Envoy was really mysterious! He and others were overwhelming His Majesty by surprise, but now the Jin Kingdom took the initiative to participate and became Zhao Shen’s help. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? thing?
"Can Shen Tang control this kind of thing?
This is impossible, you must know that the identity of the Jin Envoy is the Zuo Prime Minister of the Jin Kingdom!"
Chen Kangbai spoke in shock.
"Have you not felt yet how high the status of Shen Tang is in the Kingdom of Jin?"
Zhu Zhuo said in a deep voice, "The Emperor of the Jin Kingdom personally named him General Fengguo. With such a position, even above the Jin Kingdom's court, he was one of the top ministers.
Although there were many Song people in the Jin Dynasty's court, none of them could reach such a high position.
In addition, according to our investigation, the status of the Princess of Jin Kingdom is not ordinary. The Golden Emperor loves her even more than his own children, but such a princess actually married Shen Tang, and the Golden Emperor even agreed."
"In addition, not long ago, Shen Tang went to the Kingdom of Jin alone and borrowed a total of 60,000 elite soldiers! Do you think this is something ordinary people can do?
And since Shen Tang can do these things, if he had been prepared, it would not be impossible for the Golden Emperor to cooperate with him in a play."
Zhu Zhuo's words made Chen Kangbai and Chen Kangbai secretly surprised! Why on earth could Shen Tang be so favored by the Kingdom of Jin?
In other words, did Shen Tang really reach some deal with the Kingdom of Jin behind his back?
However, given Shen Tang's status, he might not be qualified to trade on an equal footing with the Emperor of Jin.
Just when the two of them were suspicious, Zhu Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Okay, now we still need the authority to deal with this matter. As long as this matter can proceed according to our plan, then Shen Tang can't afford it." storm."
"Now that the Jin Kingdom is involved, then it may not be enough to just put pressure on His Majesty.
After all, His Majesty has already handed over this matter to the Golden Envoy. Once the Golden Envoy makes a decision, I am afraid that Your Majesty will follow suit and directly kill Geng Wang.
At that time, a statement of good neighborliness and friendship between the two countries will be enough to silence everyone.
However, now that Your Majesty has borrowed your strength, we can do the same."
