Chapter 46

The moment Fang Xinru arrived in Lin'an with his captives, Zhang Yun's reputation spread throughout the city again. After many years, the Song Dynasty's official army finally captured a decent captive.

However, all this was just the beginning. The following peace talks between Song and Jin completely made the court burst into flames and the people were excited.

On the morning court, all officials gathered together, and even Zhao Kuo arrived early. Unfortunately, Han Tuozhou, as the Grand Tutor, did not appear. This situation is very rare.

Don’t make trouble at this time, when will you wait?

The first person to jump out of the Lord and the Sect was Shi Miyuan, who was not indifferent to the overall situation and said a lot of reasons as long as he could get involved.

Zhao Kuo was also very annoyed about this!

How come you literati and literati can't take some practical actions except for quarrel and talking to each other?

Just when Zhao Kuo was about to be unable to stand the quarrels of the lords, Han Tuozhou ran to the hall with sweat on his head, and said in the literati's catchphrase that it was a disgrace to be a gentleman!

Zhao Kuo was very surprised. It was not the first time that Han Tuozhou has lost his composure like this since Zhang Yun appeared. Could it be that Zhang Yun made some big moves?

"Why is the Taifu like this?" Zhao Kuo asked with surprise.

"Sizhou Governor Zhang Yun submitted a memorial, and the peace talks were negotiated. Please take a look at the officials!" Han Tuozhou was already out of breath when he said this.

The civil and military officials in the court were a little surprised. Fang Xinru had only been back for a few days? The terms of peace talks were agreed upon? There must be some unknown secrets in this.

Without Zhao Kuo's words, the Zhongguiren who was standing beside him had already jogged down and took back the memorial from Han Tuo Zhoushou.

After receiving the memorial, Zhao Kuo glanced at Han Tuozhou with deep eyes, and saw that he was smiling, which was obviously not a bad thing.

"This...this..." Not long after Zhao Kuo opened the memorial, he didn't say anything after these two times.

Now the main and the sect became even more strange. What does Zhao Kuo mean by his expression of neither sadness nor joy?

Shi Miyuan looked at Han Tuozhou, then looked at Zhao Kuo again. As soon as he left the line, he heard Zhao Kuo suddenly burst into laughter.

This laughter is completely from the heart and doesn't seem to be pretending!

"The Grand Tutor is here late, but for this matter?" Zhao Kuo asked after laughing.

"I am afraid that something is wrong. I asked the person who delivered the memorial three times. I came late just now. I hope the official will forgive me!" Since Zhao Kuo intends to mention Han Tuozhou to relieve the siege, how could he waste such a good opportunity?

"Official, what is the content of the peace talks..." Shi Miyuan, who had been out of the list for a while, was very embarrassed and could only ask.

Zhao Kuo smiled, then handed the memorial to the nobleman of Zhong, signaling him to hand it over to Han Tuozhou, and said, "The Grand Tutor will read it to everyone!"

After taking the memorial again, Han Tuozhou seemed a little excited, his hands trembled slightly, and he adjusted slightly, saying:

"After friendly negotiations between the Song and Jin countries, the peace talks have been reached. I am the governor of Sizhou, Zhang Yun, and I beg you to show my family." This first sentence is just a matter of rules and no special thing.

"The content of the peace agreement in Sizhou is as follows: remove the relationship between the uncle and nephew of the Song and Jin countries." As soon as this statement came out, the court was silent. Everyone knows what this sentence represents.

"In addition, the Song court returned the head of the Jin general, Pusankui, and the captive general Yi Shiliu, Hu Shahu, and both sides returned the captured soldiers." For this second, smart people could think of it.

"The annual currency silver has been reduced from 200,000 taels to 100,000 vehicles, and the silk has been reduced from 200,000 to 100,000 to 100,000, in exchange for the entire territory of Sizhou." The third article is a bit exaggerated, but Han Tuozhou did not finish his words.

"The Song Dynasty should take action to endanger the borders of both sides if it did not collude with Mongolia in the north." In response to this, the Lords and Sects looked at each other. What kind of ghost is Mongolia in the north?

"The boundary between the Song and Jin dynasties shall be subject to the war before the war begins!" After saying this, Han Tuozhou breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the borders between the two countries do not change, Han Tuozhou can basically confirm that his black hat has been kept.

However, other contents of peace talks are completely a surprise for the current Song Dynasty!

From now on, the strategic concept mentioned by Zhang Yun is at least in a correct direction. The rise of Mongolia in the northern grasslands has already posed a huge threat to the Jin Kingdom.

Otherwise, there will be no promise in the content of peace talks that the promise should not collude with Mongolia.

However, Han Tuozhou had another sentence in his mind that he did not say it in public, which was also said by someone sent by Zhang Yun.

"Contracts are used to tear them down! There are no eternal enemies and no eternal allies between countries. What remains unchanged is the interests of the country!"

It was precisely because Zhang Yun followed this point and threatened Jin Ting with a stern face that he had the current result.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for all of this, that is, your own strength.

The Song Dynasty had economic strength and population strength. After Zhang Yun appeared, he had a certain military strength. At least the Jin Dynasty currently does not have the ability to move south on a large scale, which is the key node.

"My dear friends, what is the content of this peace talk? Let's discuss it!" Zhao Kuo took a deep breath.

The content of such peace talks is completely unimaginable. In other words, even if he goes down to meet the ancestors of the Zhao family, he can straighten his back.

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, the court was surprisingly quiet, and all he could hear was the sound of rapid breathing. This was not an individual, but the vast majority.

If the Northern Expedition was defeated, it was indeed defeated! After a long time of the border, there was no change in the territory!

If we say that the Northern Expedition won, we did win! The conditions for the peace agreement signed before were deleted one by one.

What kind of uncle and nephew country is just an insult to the Zhao family!

If such conditions are the case, if the literati who has no brains jumped out and whispered, it would be difficult for Zhao Kuo to not kill him.

Zhao Kuo looked around with a smile, and the expressions on the faces of the pros and factions were extremely wonderful.

Then he continued: "Since it's meaningless, just sign it like this!"

This sentence was full of confidence, which made all the civil and military ministers, including Han Tuozhou, suddenly realize that the official family in front of him had become unaware of it.

What is imperial power? What is ruling power?

It is appropriate to use Zhao Kuo’s current performance to explain it.

The officials of the Song Dynasty were suitable to have such confidence?

All the scholars and officials could not believe or imagine, of course, this also included Han Tuozhou.

Although he is a pro-war faction, he is also a scholar and a doctor. How could he not understand the mood of others at this moment?

"I passed the order, and Zhang Yun, the governor of Sizhou, made contributions to the country. When the peace talks are over, he will return to the palace to meet immediately. The credit will be decided. The soldiers under his command will each award hundreds of silver and be promoted to the next level!"

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, the court suddenly became lively again. Faced with such an imperial edict, the Lord and the faction were meaningful, but no one dared to stop it.

Before he could see Shi Miyuan frowned and said nothing, and the one who was blind and dared to speak out? If there was really, I'm afraid Zhao Kuo would really dare to kill him.

Since ancient times, there has been no airtight wall. The peace agreement reached by Zhang Yun with the Jin Kingdom in Sizhou soon spread throughout Lin'an City like a wind.

For a moment, the people were ecstatic, and some even bought firecrackers. The streets and alleys of Lin'an City were full of joy as if they were in the New Year.

Taking this opportunity, Zuixianlou launched a large-scale promotional event. The scene was so lively that Qian Xiangzu, the prefect of Lin'an, had to send half of his subordinates to cooperate on the spot.
