Where is the sword of the reborn eagle

"What? Your Highness King Yan, you..."

Guo Mo's slow words shocked Jin Guolai to stand up from his chair again, and looked at King Yan of Song Dynasty in disbelief.

That's right, it was Yelu Chucai who was envoy from the Kingdom of Jin to Luoyang Yanwang's Mansion.

In real history, Yelu Chucai was a famous statesman during the Mongolian Empire. He was the eighth grandson of Yelubei, king of Dongdan in the Liao Dynasty, and the son of Yelulu, Shangshu Youcheng of the Jin Dynasty.

When the Jin Shizhi left and right Siyuan Wailang, when the Mongolian army captured the capital of Jinzhong, Genghis Khan accepted Yelu Chucai as his minister. Yelu Chucai served as Prime Minister of Genghis Khan and his son for more than 14 years, and served as Zhongshu Ling for [-] years.

Yelu Chucai proposed the Confucian way of governing the country, and formulated various governance strategies, which laid the foundation for the development of the Mongolian Empire and the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty.

When Naimazhen came to the throne, Yelu Chucai was squeezed out and gradually lost trust. He died of depression because of this.Later, it was given to Jingguoyizhi Yinliang Zuoyun hero, Taishi, and Shangzhu Kingdom, and he was named King Guangning, posthumously named "Wenzheng".

A person who surrendered halfway from the Great Jin Kingdom was able to achieve such political achievements and honors in the intricately related Mongolian Empire. This person was undoubtedly an unusual number at that time.

Unexpectedly, in this time and space, the court of the Dajin Kingdom retreated to Bianliang ahead of schedule, and Yelu Chucai also followed, completely "changing" his own destiny.

"Jinqing, you are a person with lofty aspirations. Whether you are in the army or politics, or the law and magic, or even the calendar and literature, you are a rare all-rounder."

"This king knows that a prefect of Xuzhou is still too young, but you are new here, so I don't want to rashly put you in a high position. Just take the position of prefect of Xuzhou and get over this natural disaster first."

"After a year and a half, maybe there will be a bigger stage waiting for you, so let's use the name of Yanwangfu's 'record room to join the army'. Some things will be easier to operate."

Guo Mo ignored Yelu Chucai's surprise and doubts, and talked there on his own. Zhao Rushu and old Cheng Huan beside him were also dumbfounded.

Can you still do this?

Your Highness is not in a daze today, is he?

"That...Your Highness, the envoy of Yelu is the envoy sent by the Dajin Kingdom to ask for help, not our official of the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Rushu looked at Guo Mo and reminded him kindly.

"Hey, Zhao Changshi, your vision can't be so rigid. Now that the Song Dynasty, Dajin, Xixia, Mongolia and other countries stand side by side, maybe in a few years, China will be unified again."

"We must be fully prepared psychologically, otherwise we will be eliminated by history."

"Cheng Shangshu, just now, for the conditions mentioned by the king, you have made representations to Wanyan Shouxu of the Kingdom of Jin in the double name of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Song Dynasty and the Palace of King Yan."

"If he agrees to do so, you will immediately start arranging the organization of officials in Xuzhou, and let Yue Ao personally lead [-] 'Yue Family Army' to station there."

"If Wanyan Shouxu disagrees, it doesn't matter. Let's go to some troubles and wait for another two months. Maybe we can increase our bargaining chips."

When he said these words, he didn't avoid Yelu Chucai at all, so that this man full of strategies could not find a word to refute himself, and he just watched old Cheng Yi go out to work.

"His Royal Highness, do you want to stay here by force?"

It was difficult for Yelu Chucai to adapt to such a rough move by Guo Mo, but he was unwilling to sit still.

"Why did Jinqing say that? You are here as an envoy, and what you are asking for is nothing more than solving the current plight of the Jin Kingdom, facing famine and lack of food, right?"

"Then you can only buy food, or send the people away? How much has your food price in Bianliang increased now? How much food do you need to pay to solve the problem of food and clothing for these hungry people?"

"This king doesn't know if Dajin Kingdom has so much money to buy food. Even if he has money, would Wanyan Shouxu be willing to use it to buy food to help the people?"

"The land of my four state capitals has also suffered from drought. Although I have taken some measures in advance, at most I can only protect myself."

"If you are the king, are you willing to let hundreds of thousands of hungry people directly attack the land of these four states? So the need for a Xuzhou is just to give the hungry people of Dajin Kingdom a shelter."

"Even if this king accepts these hungry people, what about the Jin Kingdom's army? They can't come too, right? That's why this king is willing to send another 30 shi of food to the Jin Kingdom."

"Exchange 30 shi of grain for Jinqing to come here. I believe your lord will be willing. As for Jinqing's freedom, no one restricts you. You can come and go freely with legs growing on your feet."

"It's just that this king suggests that you first take a walk in Henan Prefecture and Ruzhou, so that you can better carry out local government affairs in Xuzhou in the future."

Well, this is still a look of eating each other to death.

"you you......"

Yelu Chucai called "you" for a long time, but didn't say a word.

At this time, Wu Nantian had someone bring food.

Three meats, three vegetables and six dishes, this is already a super high standard when the famine is coming.

"Your Highness, are you planning to celebrate the New Year? It's been a while since I had such a sumptuous feast, haha, you're welcome—"

Zhao Rushu, who was on the side, spoke first, saying that it was a lie that he wanted to have a banquet, but it was true if he told Yelu Chucai.

Since His Royal Highness wants to recruit this person, as the long history of Yan Palace, how can he not try his best to deal with it?

The reason for saying this is that Zhao Rushu wanted to tell Yelu Chucai that His Royal Highness King Yan attached great importance to him, and he also wanted to tell Yelu Chucai that His Royal Highness King Yan was usually very frugal.

You can't leave a bad impression on the other party, there is going to be a food shortage outside, and you still have a lot of fish and meat in the Palace of King Yan, how can it be decent?

"Haha, it's a coincidence that Jinqing came here. If he had come a few months earlier, he would definitely have been richer. Now this is considered a luxury."

"However, although the food is almost uninteresting, the wine is not bad, 'Hero Drunk' and 'Beauty's Tears', Jin Qing choose one——"

After another warm reception, Guo Mo, Zhao Rushu and Yelu Chucai were seated at the table, and not long after, old Cheng Yi came back in a hurry.

"Your Highness, you are not kind. You arranged Lao Cheng to go out to work, but here you drank a lot of wine and ate meat in a big bowl. If Lao Cheng wants to use it, you will be involved in your 'crime of abusing veterans'—"

Old Cheng Yi didn't need to be greeted by anyone, and sat down beside him consciously, and incidentally patted the "drunken hero" on the table away.

Seeing the way the monarch and his ministers got along with each other, even Yelu Chucai, who had a lot of knowledge and knowledge, was stunned. Thinking of the scene of listening to books in the back house just now, Yelu Chucai fell into deep thought.

All these things show that the King of Yan Guo Mo in front of him is completely like the founder of the country?

However, he is just a vassal king. Although he was given the name "Zhao Hao" by the Song Dynasty officials, his surname is Guo. Can such a person finally reach the top?

Thinking of this, when Yelu Chucai looked at Guo Mo again, there was a look of "sympathy" in his eyes, and a feeling of "sympathy for each other" in his heart.

"Come on, His Royal Highness Yan Wang is very talented and general. I can't say enough about you, so I will offer you a cup of flowers and Buddha. This 'Hero Drunk' can be sold for 200 taels of silver in Bianliang, and there is still a price but no market."

Since he couldn't think of a countermeasure for the time being, Yelu Chucai simply didn't think about it for the time being.

Didn't His Royal Highness King Yan already ask Cheng Shangshu to set conditions for Bianliang?

Then I simply waited a few more days in Luoyang City, Yelu Chucai also wanted to see, under the current situation, how much weight did he have in the eyes of Emperor Dajin?

However, Yelu Chucai had no idea in his heart.

Not to mention the current harsh situation, even in perennial years, 30 shi of grain is not a small amount.

From Luoyang to Bianliang, the journey of [-] miles is another official road, and it is really easy to ride a fast horse.

Even officials from the Ministry of Rites arrived in Bianliang City a day later.

As soon as Luoyang sent an envoy, Wanyan Shouxu, the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, hurriedly summoned the civil and military officials in the Longde Palace to discuss how to deal with the matter.

From the day of the founding of the Dajin Kingdom, most of the top officials in the court, no matter civil servants or military generals, were surnamed Wanyan.

Just like now, those who can stand in Longde Palace, such as Wanyan Saibu, Wanyan Baisa, Wanyan Shilu, etc.

"Zhu Qing, I heard that the envoys sent by King Yan of the Great Song Dynasty have already moved into the post house. I don't know what kind of charter you all have?"

With Yelu Chucai absent, Wanyan Shouxu happened to have a chance to brainstorm, and Shi Anshi was undoubtedly the most resourceful among these few people.

"Your Majesty, Yelu Jinqing has only been sent to Luoyang for four days, and the other party's envoy has arrived in Bianliang City. It can be seen that our plan has long been expected by the other party."

"It's a pity that the general situation is not waiting for me. In the opinion of the veteran, His Royal Highness King Yan of the Great Song Dynasty must be another opportunity for the lion to speak loudly."

"See you sooner or later. It's better to invite him directly to the palace and discuss this matter clearly in front of all the ministers. If you delay, it will be detrimental to me, Da Jin."

What this teacher An Shi said is definitely the words of a veteran seeking the country.

If it is delayed for a few more days, the drought in Dajin Kingdom will be severe for a few days, and when it comes to negotiating a deal with Da Song, it will be even more passive.

Several other people had no objection, so Wanyan Shouxu issued an edict to invite the envoy from Luoyang to Longde Palace.

Because the conditions given by Guo Mo are very clear, rather than sending a messenger, it is better to say that they have sent a messenger, and there is no task of negotiation.

If you agree, the two parties will start the transaction, if you don't agree, then wait.

The provisions of the Ministry of Rites submitted by the envoy were written by the old Cheng Yi himself, which was exactly what Guo Mo meant, and the signature was affixed with the seals of the Ministry of Rites and Prince Yan's Mansion.

"I have already understood the meaning of His Highness King Yan. I would like to ask your envoy to stay at the post house for a while. After discussing with all the ministers, I will give King Yan an answer."

Seeing the appearance of the other party's envoy, Wanyan Shouxu knew that he was overthinking, and was also thinking about how to deal with the other party's envoy, but he did not expect that he was a messenger.

"My lords, King Yan of Song Dynasty has already offered conditions, what do you think?"

The content of the article is very simple. Da Song is willing to accept all the hungry people in the Kingdom of Jin and give away 30 shi of grain for free. If you want to buy it, it will be calculated separately.

The Kingdom of Jin ceded the entire Xuzhou, and gave Yelu Chucai to the Song Dynasty, and served as a minister under the tent of King Yan and served as the magistrate of Xuzhou.

Strictly speaking, this condition is not a big mouth for a lion.

Xuzhou is now the junction of Song and Jin. Since the main force of the "Yue Family Army" was stationed in Ruzhou City, most of the Jin people in Xuzhou moved eastward, and there were not many people left.

The way Jin Guo wanted to solve the problem was to obtain food and disperse the hungry people, which were included in this article, and both were achieved.

It was really implemented in this way, and Jin Guo not only got rid of the burden of the hungry people, avoided the hidden dangers caused by the turmoil, but also got 30 shi of grain.

One shi of grain is enough to eat for an adult for three months, and the 30 shi of grain is enough for his [-] gold army to consume for half a year. This really solves the urgent need.

However, there is a price to pay for obtaining these, and the price is the entire Xuzhou and Yelu Chucai.

Fortunately, Xuzhou said that now it seems that the place is just a tasteless place. Anyway, without Xuzhou, it is nothing more than moving the defense line to the east.

However, I didn't expect the other party to exchange Yelu Chucai. What's even more eye-catching is that the article clearly stated "Exchange 30 shi of grain for Yelu Chucai!"

How grand, how heroic, how undeniable!

Not only Wanyan Shouxu, but even several other important ministers of the Jin Kingdom in Longde Palace saw that the root of each tooth was itchy, not from hatred, but from sourness.

The ministers wanted to replace Yelu Chucai's name with their own, not because they wanted to betray Dajin, but because they were outright envious.

Wanyan Shouxu was also envious, envious of Guo Mo's wealth, envied Guo Mo's heroic spirit.

He is also the leader, but the other party is just a prince, and he is the majestic Great Jin Emperor. Isn't the difference too big?

Wanyan Shouxu was even thinking, if he and Guo Mo changed places, would he be willing to exchange 30 shi of grain for Yelu Chucai in today's skyrocketing grain price?

Wanyan Baisa glanced at the crowd, saw that everyone lowered their eyebrows and said nothing, so he took a step forward and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the general thought he could promise the other party, but in fact, we just used a useless Xuzhou to exchange the other party's 30 shi for food, and we can still get rid of those hungry people."

"What a bargain deal this is. The last general thinks that the other party's King Yan has lost his mind. How could he propose such a deal?"

Wanyan Baisa withdrew from Guanzhong. In the eyes of a clan general like him, a person like Yelu Chucai is just a literati who has read a few more books.

Apart from wagging their tongues and puffing their lips in front of His Majesty all day long, it is of no practical use at all. When the enemy army comes, they have to be the generals.

Therefore, Wanyan Baisa naturally ignored Yelu Chucai's question.

Shi Anshi, who was standing next to him, frowned. He saw that most of the people in Longde Palace were the royal family members of the Kingdom of Jin, and the old man swallowed what he wanted to say again.

Wanyan Saibu also frowned, he was also a member of the clan of the Jin Dynasty, and a descendant of Wanyan Baohuoli, the younger brother of the first ancestor of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Hanpu.

Majestic in appearance, deep, loyal and strategic, Wanyan Sai was not from a personal guard, but was chosen as a guard when he arrived at Jin Zhangzong.

He has successively served as the governor of Ninghua Prefecture, the Jiedu envoy of Huli Gailu, the commander of the Wuwei Army, the inspection of the left deputy capital in front of the hall, the co-signing of the Privy Council, the Zhilin Taofu affairs, and the deputy commanding army of Shaanxi Road.

Now he is the envoy of the Privy Council of the Dajin Kingdom, which can be said to be a high position and authority, but he is a little old, and his health has not been very good in recent years, so he rarely gives advice in the court.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that we can follow the terms of King Yan of the Great Song Dynasty, but we must have our own opinions, and we cannot be completely led by the other side."

"First of all, we can't agree to the other party's conditions right away. No matter how urgent the situation is, we can't agree immediately. We still have to delay it for a few days."

"Secondly, recall Yelu Chucai, catch him for a single mistake, and demote him from Bianliang. In order to serve Daikin for many years, give him the position of governor of Xuzhou."

"At this time, His Majesty will send envoys to agree to the conditions of King Yan of the Song Dynasty, ceding Xuzhou in exchange for 30 shi of grain, and issuing a notice in the Dajin Kingdom that Xuzhou has grain, and those who are short of grain can move to Xuzhou to live. .”

"When Xuzhou was ceded, we withdrew the garrison. As for whether the officials retreated or not, it was entirely up to voluntary. Since the other party proposed to ask for Yelu Chucai, I think they may have reached a deal secretly."

Wanyan Sai still has a lot of talent, he can be regarded as a person who can make a difference, but at the critical moment, he still thinks about protecting the face and interests of the Dajin Kingdom, and downplays the 30 shi grains he bought with Yelu Chucai.

"What? You said that kid Yelu Chucai has secretly surrendered to Da Song? When he comes back, I will definitely screw his head off—"

After hearing this, Wanyan Baisa next to him lost his temper and yelled.

"Shut up! From today on, you will shut yourself up at home and think about your mistakes. If you dare to step out of the house without my permission, the old man will break your dog legs!"

What Wanyan Bai said just now made Wanyan Saibu a little angry, and he even saw Shi Anshi's hesitant to speak.

Hearing Wanyan Baisa's nonsense again, Wanyan Sai couldn't bear it any longer, regardless of the presence of Emperor Dajin, he severely reprimanded Wanyan Baisa in public.

In terms of official position, Wanyan Sai is not an envoy of the Privy Council of the Kingdom of Jin, and has a high position and authority;

In terms of seniority, Wanyan Saibu is not even Wanyan Baisa's father. Even Wanyan Baisa's father has to call him "Big Brother" when he sees Wanyan Saibu.

"Okay, let's do what the envoy of the Privy Council said. Taking the overall situation of my Dajin as the most important thing, I have no choice but to feel sorry for Jin Qing, let him come back first."

......

Guo Mo continued his normal daily life, but Yelu Chucai lived in Yan Wang's mansion with peace of mind, and went to listen to Guo Mo's "Fengshen Yanyi" every day with Zhao Rushu and Cheng Yi.
