Wan Yanchang walked into Liu Chan's temporary palace in Bianliang with a proud expression. In his opinion, even the peace negotiation was a gift from the superior to the inferior from the Kingdom of Jin.
"My envoy Wan Yanchang of the Jin Dynasty pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty."
Wan Yanchang only cupped his fists and saluted Liu Chan, but did not kneel down. Most generals had seen this scene many times and were somewhat used to it.
Seeing that no one accused Jin Wushu of being rude, Liu Chan immediately gave Yue Yun a look.
Yue Yun immediately understood and scolded: "Why don't you kneel down?"
"The envoys of the superior state do not worship the master of the lower state."
Wan Yanchang sneered. He actually dared to ask him to kneel down. Zhao Gou didn't have such a big face.
Liu Chan sneered, so Yue Yun immediately kicked him with a cross leg, causing Wan Yanchang to fall to the ground.
"You." Wan Yanchang was so angry that he was about to curse, but suddenly he heard a voice coming from the throne.
"Who is kneeling?" Liu Chan said calmly.
Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and the other generals immediately suppressed their laughter and felt a sense of sourness. Even Yue Fei was not going to pursue Yue Yun's rudeness now. This was obviously the emperor's instruction.
Wan Yanchang knew that this was Liu Chan forcing him to kneel down. If he didn't kneel down, I'm afraid Liu Chan would not be satisfied. Now the situation is stronger than others, and peace talks between Song and Jin must be promoted as soon as possible.
"This is the envoy Wan Yanchang from the Kingdom of Jin."
"What happened?"
"I beg His Majesty the Emperor to agree to negotiate peace with our country. To show our sincerity, our country is willing to send the Queen's gift back to the country."
Liu Chan sneered: "Now I am ready to go to the 170,000-strong army to regain the lost territory and welcome the queen back tomorrow. I'm afraid it's a little late to negotiate peace now."
"Your Majesty, you still want to fight!" Wan Yanchang stood up and said loudly.
"I will not give you an inch of the territory left by our ancestors. If you really want to have peace talks, you should show your true sincerity."
The queen is very important, it is related to Liu Chan's dignity. But it is absolutely impossible to make the 170,000 troops retreat with just one queen.
"Does it mean that our country must give you all the land it has occupied before you can cease the war?"
Wan Yanchang made a big mistake. He must not show weakness during negotiations, otherwise the other party will pursue him fiercely and press forward step by step.
"That's not true. Apart from these, I also want the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun."
Wan Yanchang sneered: "Your Majesty is really good at joking. The Sixteenth State of Yanyun has never been the territory of your Song Dynasty."
"I know, but it will be done in the future."
Liu Chan suddenly acted like a child and became a scoundrel. Looking at Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, they were stunned. Recovering all the Song Dynasty's homeland was beyond their imagination, but Liu Chan actually wanted the Sixteenth State of Yanyun.
No wonder Liu Chan is the emperor and they are ministers.
"In this case, let's meet on the battlefield. When the time comes that our country will use all its strength, you will never come back."
"Okay. But I want to tell you, the longer the fight takes, the higher the price I will ask for. Yue Yun, go shopping with our golden envoy and let him feel the majesty of our Song Army."
"yes."
Yue Fei stepped out of the queue and clasped his fists, then said rudely to Wan Yanchang: Please, Golden Envoy."
Wan Yanchang waved his sleeves and walked away angrily.
The reason why Yue Yun was asked to handle this matter was because he was young and vigorous. Unlike Han Shizhong and Yue Yun, generals of the previous generation who were still wary of the Jin Kingdom, their attitude towards the Jin Kingdom had not yet changed.
"Liangchen, how is Puppet Qi doing now?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, our army has now been divided into various places to suppress thieves and bandits in various places. However, some of the puppet Qi generals are self-respecting soldiers and do not want to join our government."
Liu Yu, who was pretending to be Qi, was very happy. When he saw Han Shizhong's arrival, he immediately opened the city gate and expressed his surrender to the Song Dynasty.
There was no way, even Jin Wushu, the general who could depose and establish the puppet Qi, was defeated by Liu Chan. What ability did Liu Yu have to resist the Song Dynasty?
If you vote, if you vote, you can still be the king.
Seeing that things were going so smoothly, Liu Chan made Liu Yu the King of Shu and sent him to Lin'an to stay.
"Don't be polite to these rebellious ministers and traitors. Just kill them all. Within half a month, I don't want to hear the voice of false Qi again."
"yes."
"Pengju, you lead 40,000 troops to the border of the Kingdom of Jin and prepare for war. But remember, there can be small-scale frictions, but a big war must not break out."
"yes."
"Wang Gui, send a message to Mr. Qin and ask him to come over in person."
"yes."
Now everyone knows that Wang Gui is Liu Chan's man, but is there a problem with the general being a close associate of the emperor?
Of course no problem!
You dare to say that Han Shizhong and Yue Fei are not Liu Chan's cronies!
"Whether we can regain the entire north in one fell swoop this time depends entirely on your efforts."
"I will live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
Liu Chan returned to his room, lay down on the chair and let out a long sigh. That was all he could do. Fighting was not what he was good at, and he did not have any excellent ability to govern the country.
Obviously he is not the material to be an emperor, but in the end, he is actually the emperor no matter before or after the time travel.
Is it because the word Zen is taboo?
But that was obviously the name his mother gave him when she dreamed that Beidou was in her arms. What does it have to do with him?
Everyone in the world thinks that being an emperor is a great thing, but if you can't eat well, sleep well, or worry about state affairs every day, what's the benefit?
Zhao Ding was stubborn, Qin Hui loved power, and Liu Chan simply did not dare to let go and hand over the power of the DPRK to them.
Han Shizhong's stance was not firm enough, and Yue Fei was too upright. Someone must coordinate major military affairs.
Although Zhao Yuan was talented in politics, he knew nothing about military affairs, so Liu Chan did not dare to pass the throne to him now.
Everything needed Liu Chan's lubricant to adjust it up and down, so that the Song Dynasty could avoid going astray. But it was a pity that Liu Chan just wanted to lie down and didn't want to do anything at all.
If he hadn't worried about the people, Liu Chan would have gone into hiding in the mountains and forests.
a few days later
Wan Yanchang came to visit again, this time his expression was much more humble. After seeing Liu Chan, he took the initiative to kneel down. The etiquette was very thorough and no one could embarrass him at all.
Liu Chan curled his lips: "I wonder if the Kingdom of Jin agrees to what I said last time."
"Our country is willing to return all the Song Dynasty land it invaded to the Song Dynasty, and is willing to promise to send the queen's gift back to the country, as a sincerity to promote peace talks between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty."
"Those lands belong to the Song Dynasty. I raised an army of 170,000 people and came here, but I was unable to expand the land. In this case, how can I go to the Ancestral Temple to complain to my ancestors of the Song Dynasty?"
"If Your Majesty wants to force others to do something difficult, you might as well think about your late emperor."
"You said that my unsatisfactory brother is sorry. I have revoked his imperial title. He is no longer the emperor."
As soon as this statement came out, not only Wan Yanchang, but also all the Song Dynasty generals standing there looked at Liu Chan in stunned silence.
"When did this happen? Your Majesty, are you trying to bluff me?"
Wan Yanchang exclaimed and couldn't believe it at all.
"Just now, if you don't believe it, I can write you an edict now."
