Chapter 266: Deceiving the golden envoy, heroes cherish each other
"The foreign envoys from the Kingdom of Jin, who do not understand Chinese etiquette and laws, dared to block the emperor's carriage and disturbed the Holy One, do you know that this is a capital crime?"
The envoys of the Kingdom of Jin, who were kneeling and worshiping and blocking the imperial road, immediately became even more frightened when they heard the eunuch Liang Shicheng, known as the "Hidden Prime Minister", spoke in such a serious tone.
Zhao Ji smiled coldly and thought to himself: "Liang Shicheng, this old dog, will still act based on the face of my master!
On this occasion, it would be best if the eunuch Liang Dae sings the black-faced one!"
These envoys from the Kingdom of Jin came to the capital of the Song Dynasty three times.
Although the Emperor of the Song Dynasty arranged for them to be entertained and entertained with delicious food and drinks by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, they could not see the Emperor of the Song Dynasty for a long time, and they were unable to prompt the Song Dynasty officials and troops to attack the Liao Kingdom.
They tried every means to find out what happened in the capital of the Song Dynasty during this period.
During this short period of half a year, they heard that the Zhao Guan family worked hard to govern and killed corrupt officials Cai Jing, Wang Fu and a large number of court officials.
After making a comparison, these envoys naturally knew that the current Emperor of the Song Dynasty was not merciless in killing Cai Jing and other officials who had been his favorite for many years, let alone small foreign envoys like them.
The twenty Jin envoys who blocked the road knelt on the imperial road. They were so frightened by Liang Shicheng's words that a layer of sweat broke out on their shiny bald heads. The two pigtails on the back of each person's head kept shaking as their bodies trembled.
Shaking.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Dong dong dong!"
The first to be frightened out of fear were the former Liao ministers who surrendered gold among the Jin envoys. They were already weak-boned. They all returned to the Jin Kingdom because they were greedy for life and afraid of death. At this time, they were also the first to kowtow to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, please look at the good relationship between the Song and Jin countries and forgive our envoys of the Jin Dynasty for the death penalty of obstructing the emperor!"
The Jurchens among the Jin envoys looked down upon the Jin and Liao people who were so cowardly and greedy for life and afraid of death.
Jurchens still have arrogance in their bones.
This kind of arrogance comes from Wanyan Aguda, who is "bold and determined, able to make quick decisions, make every plan, and leave no traces of troops". He led the Jurchens and in just five or six years, they defeated the people who had oppressed them for generations.
The Liao Kingdom was defeated and only half of the country was left.
At this time, the leader of the Jurchen Golden Envoy knelt on the royal road and spoke loudly in not very fluent Chinese:
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, we, the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin, blocked the imperial road and disturbed the emperor, but there was a reason for the incident.
This is all because we have received the imperial edict from the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin and have come to meet the emperor and discuss important matters.
However, His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty avoided us.
Therefore, we came up with this strategy and blocked the royal road outside the imperial city gate in order to see the beauty of the sky.
Although we Jurchens came into contact with Chinese culture and etiquette late, we also know that "Wu Su shepherds sheep and fulfills his mission"!
We were at fault for stopping the driver today.
It's all because we have the mission of being the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, and we dare not disgrace our mission!
Now, if you want to kill or kill us, it will be up to His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
However, before we die, we would like to ask His Majesty Emperor Song Jiang to listen to what we have to say."
Zhao Ji, whose face was as dark as water, looked coldly at the group of golden envoys who were kneeling outside the imperial city gate to block the imperial guards. Especially when he saw their strange Jurchen hairstyles that were different from the men of the Song Dynasty, he felt an impulse in his heart.
, I really want to take a knife with my own hands and chop off the bald heads with two pigtails on these golden people.
"Hehehe!" Zhao Ji turned around and smiled.
He thought in his mind: If I had followed the actions of the protagonists in some of the cool novels I had read before time travel, and in this situation, I should have taken a knife and chopped off the heads of these golden envoys, shocking everyone!
However, for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, in order that the "Jingkang Shame" will not happen again in the world I traveled to, and also to keep the secretly discussed strategy of "aiding the Liao and resisting the Jin" secret, I will temporarily use these gold to make those disgusting people
Let’s store their heads on their necks for the time being!
I'm available at any time!
Zhao Ji deliberately turned his anger into a smile and said:
"I am generous and kind.
I forgive you for obstructing the emperor.
You, the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin, please be exempted from the courtesy and live in peace!"
"Foreign Minister, I thank His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty for your forgiveness. Long live the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
Twenty Jin envoys kowtowed and thanked each other, and then stood up one after another.
They still bowed and lowered their heads, not daring to look up at the emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Then, what Zhao Ji said to the Jin envoy started a big deception mode, and the Jin envoys were stunned for a while, and they all believed it.
"I am the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and I have been taught by my ancestors. Every day, I want to lead a personal expedition and take back as soon as possible the Han territory that was given to the Liao Kingdom by the old man Shi Jingtang a hundred years ago - the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!"
The twenty Jin envoys all nodded in agreement and said:
"The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was wise, aware of shame and then courageous. He is quite similar to our Emperor of the Jin Dynasty!"
They also did their homework before going on missions.
They learned from the officials and generals of the Liao Kingdom who returned to the Jin Kingdom that all the monarchs of the Song Dynasty were very concerned about recapturing the Sixteen Yanyun Prefectures occupied by the Liao Kingdom, so that they could serve as the Song Dynasty's natural military barrier against foreigners from the north.
.
After Zhao Ji saw that he had initially achieved results in deceiving the Jin envoy, he continued to deceive him and said:
"'Pig' is a golden envoy, so what he says makes sense!
Alas! Know your shame and then be brave!
Your financial sponsors, Wanyan Aguda, are also examples of knowing shame and then being brave!
You Jurchens have been brutally oppressed by the Khitans of Liao for generations.
Under the leadership of the heroic leader Wanyan Aguda, the Jurchen tribesmen rose up among the white mountains and black waters. In just a few years, they launched an attack on the Liao Kingdom, which had oppressed you, with overwhelming force. So far, you and the Jin Kingdom have captured
The Liao Kingdom covers more than half of its territory!
Although I have never met your financial sponsor Wanyan Aguda, we have known each other for a long time!
It feels like a hero cherishes a hero!"
After hearing what Zhao Guanjia said, the twenty Jin envoys all smiled on their expressionless faces due to nervousness.
Although, they heard the Emperor of the Song Dynasty call their Emperor of the Jin Kingdom as the Golden Master, and even called the Jin Emperor by his first name, Wanyan Aguda, they felt that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty seemed a bit rude;
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, after all, it has only been six years since the founding of the Jurchen country, and their degree of Chineseization is very low. They dared to directly call the Emperor of Jin by his name 'Wanyan Aguda' behind his back.
.
Furthermore, they are now under the roof of the mighty Chinese Song Dynasty, how dare they not bow their heads?
Zhao Ji smiled knowingly when he saw that these envoys from the Kingdom of Jin all showed silly smiles that they believed were true.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty smiled so naturally.
Unintentionally, this contributed to the deception of the history of the Jin Dynasty and made it the icing on the cake.
Zhao Ji continued to lie:
"Therefore, three years ago, in the first year of Chonghe, I sent envoys Zhao Liangsi and others to Jin Dynasty by sea to discuss the matter of the joint destruction of Liao Dynasty between Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty.
Isn’t my purpose to help the Jin Kingdom Yixue suffer the shame of being oppressed by the Liao Kingdom for generations?
Of course, I am also for the Song Dynasty to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun that China has lost for 183 years from the Liao Kingdom!!"
The twenty Jin historians present all pricked up their ears and listened to the Song emperor's impassioned narration...
They kept nodding in agreement.
After all, what Zhao Guanjia said was true. Song and Jin had a common enemy - the Liao Kingdom.
Zhao Ji continued to lie to Jin Shi, saying:
"In the past three years since the first year of Chonghe, envoys from the Song and Jin Dynasties have had frequent contact.
Last year, in the second year of Xuanhe, the Song and Jin parties agreed:
‘The Kingdom of Jin took the Dading Mansion in the capital of Liao Kingdom;
My army of the Song Dynasty captured Xijin Prefecture in Nanjing, Liao Kingdom.
When I sent envoys to conclude a maritime alliance, I promised that after the Song and Jin Dynasties destroyed the Liao Kingdom, I would transfer the annual coins originally given to the Liao Kingdom to the Jin Kingdom.
Hahaha! My Song Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous, and I really don’t care about the mere hundreds of thousands of coins every day!
Your patron Wanyan Aguda also agrees to return the land of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to my Song Dynasty!"
The twenty envoys from the Kingdom of Jin kept nodding their heads, indicating that what Zhao Guanjia said was true, and they had known this for a long time.
Zhao Ji was ready to intensify the deception. He raised his head 45 degrees, looked up at the blue sky, put on an air of great arrogance and unfulfilled ambition, and shouted hysterically:
"You Jin envoys, please think about this, how can I not want to send troops as soon as possible to join forces with the Jin army to attack the lawless Liao Kingdom together?
However, last year, there was a rebellion by bandits in the southeast of La La, and I led my army to personally conquer it, which cost a lot of manpower and financial resources.
Now, there is Xixia in the northwest, which is eyeing the Song Dynasty. I can't send heavy troops from the northwest to conquer Liao!
Therefore, I will launch a new martial arts exam this year to select heroes from the Song Dynasty and promote them to generals, and then recruit and train troops from the private sector.
Isn't it just to make active preparations to unite with the Jin Kingdom to destroy the Liao Dynasty as soon as possible?"
The envoys of the Kingdom of Jin were so deceived by Zhao Ji that they were so dizzy that they nodded in agreement.
However, some of them had some doubts in their hearts...
The headed Jin envoy kowtowed to Zhao Ji and said:
"The foreign minister has a question. I wonder if I can ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty in person?!"
Zhao Ji smiled, with extremely sincere eyes, staring at the two pigtails on the bald head of the Jin envoy, and said in a sincere tone:
"Just tell me quickly so that I can clear up your doubts."
The leader of the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin asked tremblingly:
"When will His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty send troops to invade the Liao Kingdom and join us in the Jin Kingdom's attack on the Liao Kingdom?"
