Chapter 426 Reasons

After Wan Yanliang shouted, everyone in the palace drew their swords and yelled messily while beating them wildly, making noisy sounds.

"Why don't you kneel down and worship!"

"Is the damn envoy of the Song Dynasty looking for death? Kneel down!"

"Kneel down! Kneel down!"

Shi Hao stood there expressionless, unmoved. Fang Zian stood with his head held high and laughed loudly.

Wan Yanliang looked sharp, stared at Fang Zian with a pair of tiger eyes and shouted: "Why are you laughing?"

Fang Zian said coldly: "The imperial court of the Kingdom of Jin should be a solemn and solemn place. Your kings, princes and ministers should be dignified people. Why are they all acting like dog-butchers in the market, noisy and dignified? How can they be decent? It’s really funny that a good imperial court is like a bathhouse.”

"What? Damn Nanman, you dare to make fun of us. Kill him."

"Yes, kill him. If he dares to humiliate us, he will pluck out his eyes, cut out his tongue and chop him into eight pieces to feed to the dogs."

"Kill him, kill him."

The officials of the Jin Kingdom made a roar and cursed.

"We are envoys of the Song Dynasty. When the two countries are at war, we will not kill the envoys. Do you want to break this rule and make people laugh?" Shi Hao said loudly.

"Master Shi, why are you telling them this? How do they understand these truths? We came here as envoys with the intention of dying. We will kill them if they want. We don't care about this. We want them to be laughed at by everyone in the world. Go, there is no need to remind them. Anyway, if we kill us, the two countries will go to war, which is exactly what we want to see. Let them yell and curse, and ignore them." Fang Zian said loudly.

Wanyan Liang's face turned livid with anger, his yellow beard flew up, and he shouted sternly: "Envoy of the Song Dynasty, do you think I don't dare to kill you? I can do whatever I want, how can I care about the words and words of the world? Vision? It’s a big joke for you to threaten me with war. It seems that you are not here to negotiate, but to stir up trouble."

Shi Hao said in a deep voice: "If we weren't here for negotiation, why would we have traveled thousands of miles and endured all the hardships to come to this place in Yanjing? Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, what you said makes no sense. Those who are shouting about beating and killing are You and I have not offended you by coming to see His Majesty and presenting our credentials. You should treat each other with courtesy and not threaten me with words. This envoy and Deputy Envoy Fang will not be threatened by you."

Wan Yanliang shouted loudly: "It's not our fault that you are sharp-tongued? Do you want to talk about etiquette? I ask you, why don't you kneel down and salute me when you see me?"

Shi Hao said in a deep voice: "I will kneel to heaven, kneel to the ground, and kneel to you and my master in the middle. Although your majesty is the emperor, he is not our king of the Song Dynasty, and we are not your ministers of the Jin Kingdom. We have no reason to kneel to you. .Your Majesty’s request is an rude request, and it is difficult to comply with it.”

When Wanyan Liang heard this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, pointed at Shi Hao and said loudly: "What did you say? You said you are not my minister of the Jin Dynasty? Could it be that you have forgotten the negotiation between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty? It was clearly written in the peace agreement that you, the Song Dynasty, are loyal to me. Jin Chengcheng. Your emperor in Lin'an was canonized by my late Emperor Jin Dynasty. Your emperor considers himself a minister of my great Jin Dynasty, let alone you? Don't you think you are a minister of the Song Dynasty? This is really what I heard. The funniest joke I’ve ever seen. Hahaha.”

His Highness and his ministers laughed wildly, pointing at Shi Hao and Fang Zian and taunting them.

"The people of the Song Dynasty are so damn shameless that they can say such things. Their emperor has already submitted to me, Dajin, and yet they say such shameless words. It's really hilarious."

"Isn't it true? You have the nerve to say it. Don't you blush?"

"Hahaha, does this person mean that he is a slave of their Song Dynasty emperor, so he is not qualified to be a minister of my country, right? Thinking about it this way, they are really not qualified to be my ministers, they are more like a dog.

"

"ha

Hahaha. Hahaha.”

A group of Jin kings, princes and ministers mocked to their heart's content, pointing and laughing unscrupulously.

Shi Hao's face was livid and silent. Indeed, Wan Yanliang's words were not unreasonable. In the core content of the Shaoxing peace treaty, in addition to ceding territory and paying tribute, there was indeed a clear clause that the Song Dynasty would submit to the Jin Dynasty. Zhao Gou's Emperor of the Song Dynasty also followed the peace treaty.

The content was canonized and crowned by the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom. Although this kind of surrender was only a symbolic declaration, it was indeed the Song Dynasty bowing its head to the Jin Kingdom, and it was clear in black and white. In fact, the reason why many people were dissatisfied with the Shaoxing Peace Negotiation was because of this clause. This clause did not

It is a physical injury, but it is a greater spiritual humiliation. This is even more humiliating than ceding land and paying tribute. Many people opposed the Shaoxing Peace Negotiation, in fact, it was because of this article. I think back then, between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom,

The war was also tense, and finally the Chanyuan Alliance was reached. The two countries ceased fighting. The Song Dynasty gave the Liao people a small amount of annual coins as comfort, and the two parties became a country of brothers. Even so, the Chanyuan Alliance has always been criticized.

Compared with the Shaoxing Peace Conference and the Chanyuan Alliance, it was even more serious and extremely insulting.

The Song Dynasty professed its tribunalship to the Jin Dynasty, and the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty were all nominal ministers of the Jin Kingdom. There is no way to refute this. Shi Hao's reason that he was not a minister of the Jin Kingdom, so he did not need to kowtow to Wan Yanliang, is completely untenable.

.So when Wan Yanliang said this, Shi Hao was speechless and could only remain silent.

"What's going on? Why don't you speak? Don't you, the Song Dynasty, always say that you have to convince people with reason and be reasonable? You say that I, Daikin, are unreasonable and will only use force to coerce you and bully you. Now I can be reasonable with you.

, but you stopped talking again. Is what I said wrong? Is it me, Dajin, who is being reasonable, or are you, the Song Dynasty, acting rogue? The peace agreement between the two countries is written in black and white. Do you not recognize the peace agreement between the two countries? Answer me!"

Wan Yanliang asked proudly.

Wanyan Liang always regarded himself as a holy king and a man with all-round talents in civil and military affairs. Today, the envoys of the Song Dynasty were speechless in front of him, which made Wanyan Liang very proud. Not only must he conquer his opponents with force, but also with reason.

In order to impress the other party, it makes oneself appear to be both wise and wise in both civil and military affairs.

Shi Hao couldn't answer. He didn't expect that the issue of kneeling or not kneeling would cause such an uproar today. He thought that today was just a routine meeting, and all he was thinking about was the subsequent negotiations. In such a situation, he really couldn't

response.

"Messengers of the Song Dynasty, why don't you kneel down and salute? You want to be reasonable. I, the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, have already explained the truth to you, and you can't argue with it. Do you, the Song Dynasty, really want to be unreasonable? If you are not here to reason, then it doesn't matter.

That's easy to say. If you are disrespectful and don't kneel today, I will kill you, and the entire Song Dynasty will have nothing to say." Xiao Yu shouted in a deep voice.

A group of ministers started making noise again.

"Why don't you kneel down? Are you kidding me? Kill them, kill them."

Shi Hao sighed, knowing that he had no way to argue, so he had to lift up his official robe and was about to kneel down. Fang Zian held him back.

"Sir, we cannot kneel. We are not rude." Fang Zian said loudly.

Wan Yanliang shouted: "It seems that your Song Dynasty really sent two scoundrels to negotiate, and there is no sincerity at all. If you don't kneel down, you won't abide by the peace agreement between the two countries. Then I will kill you."

Fang Zian sneered and said: "What a joke, then the peace agreement no longer exists. Why do we, the Song Dynasty, profess to your Jin Kingdom? The peace agreement has been torn up. Do we still need to abide by this clause?"

"What did you say?" Wan Yanliang shouted loudly, stretched out his hand and slapped the dragon case. With a bang, the dragon case was knocked down by him.

"As expected, we are here to provoke, not to negotiate, but to declare a war. Did the Emperor of the Song Dynasty send you to declare the peace treaty between the two countries invalid? Then there is nothing to say. I will kill you, my army.

Send your troops south to destroy your treacherous Song Dynasty. Come here, drag them out and chop them down.

I'll dig out their hearts and send them back to the Song Dynasty, and declare war on the Song Dynasty." Wan Yanliang shouted loudly.

Several generals rushed forward to take someone away. Fang Zian shouted loudly: "You tore up the agreement, but you came to blame us. You yourself canceled the terms of the Song Dynasty's surrender to the Kingdom of Jin. What are you doing to us?"

Wan Yanliang roared angrily: "That's nonsense. When did I, Da Jin, cancel the peace agreement?"

Fang Zian sneered and said: "I would like to ask, does the peace agreement require both countries to abide by it? Can't it be violated?"

Wan Yanliang said angrily: "Of course, isn't this just a child's play? The agreement between the two countries is written in black and white, and we should abide by it."

Fang Zian laughed and said: "Okay, this is what you, the Emperor of Jin, said. In that case, I would like to ask, what are you doing by sending envoys to the Song Dynasty and asking me, the Song Dynasty, to send envoys here? What do you want to do?

What are you negotiating with us for? Since the peace agreement was reached, in which year did we, the Song Dynasty, fail to implement the peace agreement seriously? Which point was not fulfilled? But you proposed to increase the annual currency, asked us to continue to cede land, and made many demands. These were not included in the peace agreement that year.

Within the scope. Excuse me, who violated the peace agreement first? You tore up the peace agreement first, and the peace agreement no longer existed. Today, you have to use the terms of the peace agreement to make us kneel down. This is not heaven.

Is this a big joke? His Majesty, the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, you taste it, you taste it carefully, who is unreasonable?"

"Ouch!" Wan Yanliang stared at Fang Zian and was speechless.

Xiao Yu and others also understood Fang Zian's reason, and they were all dumbfounded and speechless. Many people in the hall listened in confusion, stretched their necks and asked each other: "This kid talked a lot.

What? Why didn’t you understand?”

The sensible ones had no choice but to tell him in a low voice: "That boy said that I, Da Jin, first proposed to violate the content of the peace agreement, so I tore up the peace agreement first. So since the peace agreement has been torn up, we can no longer use the peace agreement to go to the Song Dynasty to challenge me.

Dajin’s terms of surrender came to bind them.”

"Oh! Isn't that... nothing to say?"

"Isn't that right? You're shooting yourself in the foot."

Fang Zian faced Wan Yanliang's angry and ferocious gaze without giving up and continued: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, Master Shi and I can kneel down to you today, according to the so-called courtesy of a minister. But then

It means that you admit that the Shaoxing Peace Agreement cannot be changed, but we will not need to negotiate after that. The content of the peace agreement has already been negotiated, so what else is there to talk about? If we still want to negotiate according to the conditions you proposed before, then the Shaoxing Peace Agreement no longer exists, then

You cannot ask us to bow to you according to the etiquette of a minister. The decision is in His Majesty's hands. You can choose one yourself. It doesn't matter to us."

Wan Yanliang was extremely angry, but he really couldn't answer. This guy seemed to be arguing, but it was indeed reasonable. This time he wanted to make a big blackmail and steal a big sum from the Song Dynasty, so he

The lion opened its mouth, forcing the Song Dynasty to send someone to negotiate. But if the negotiation could not proceed because of the kneeling, even killing these two people would not help. Besides, he was not ready to fight with the Song Dynasty, so killing him

So, we have to fight. Losing the opportunity to collect a large sum of money for a face-saving thing like kneeling down is not worth the gain. Wanyan Liang is a practical person, and he has never been interested in those vain things.

He didn't care at all, he just wanted to give the other party a blow, to shock them today, force them to bow their heads, and dampen their arrogance. So he was relieved soon.

"I don't want to pay attention to your crooked ideas. The Shaoxing Peace Agreement has not been torn up. It's just that the peace agreement was not perfect and fair. This negotiation is just to improve fairness. I will not listen to your strong words. However, I also
