Chapter 0800 Conflict at the negotiating table

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The two countries reached an agreement between Song and Liao, and the two sides negotiated for more than a month.  At the negotiation table, a luxurious mission from Western Liao, headed by Yelu Shengyu and Xiao Mohe Ci, started a war of aggression with the Song Dynasty.  Compared with the lineup of the Xiliao mission, the Song Dynasty seemed extremely simple, because there was only Pan Zhisuo in the entire negotiation process.  Regarding the many debates and controversies between Yelu Shengyu and Xiao Mohe Ci, Pan Zhisuo followed the fine tradition that silence is golden.  No matter how many words you say, I still say the same thing: peace talks are possible, but you must show enough sincerity. Not only will the compensation be indispensable, but the corresponding territory must also be ceded!  "Pan Shangshu, although Daliao is in a weak position now, we still have the power to fight back. Now Daliao has condescended to show its kindness, so why should your country be aggressive?"  His voice became cold and stern, and even though he had already been mentally prepared, he was still angry that Song Chao was taking advantage of him.  The collegial treaty clearly stated that on the basis of the original Western Liao border, the thirty-six cities advancing to the northwest would all be assigned to the Song Dynasty.  The territory of Western Liao was not large, and it also included the vast Gobi Desert. This time the Song Dynasty opened its mouth, it was equivalent to annexing one-third of Western Liao's territory.  Pan Zhi was at the head of the negotiation table, his eyes were slightly closed and he said softly: "Aggressive, oh, brother Yelu, you are thinking too much. I am already giving in to you if I can take the time to discuss the matter with you.  ! " " You! " " Our Song Dynasty is no longer what it used to be. The most fearless thing is war. Now that our army is at its peak, why should we stop the advance of the army for the sake of your mere thirty-six cities?  " Pan Zhi said, and then his tone became tough: "I have something to tell you. It is not that I, the Song Dynasty, must sign this collegial agreement, but whether your country needs this collegial agreement! " "This"  "Damn it! This is tantamount to robbery with power!" Xiao Mohe stabbed angrily, "This envoy wants to meet with your Majesty, has your Majesty forgotten" "Enough!" Originally, behind Xiao Mohe stab,  He wanted to mention the friendship between the eldest son of the Xiao family and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, but as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Pan Zhisuo waving his sleeves.  "My Majesty the Song Dynasty was assassinated by your country's assassins. Your country can't give a reasonable explanation for this matter, but you still have the face to see your majesty. Are you going to stage a 'Jing Ke assassinates Qin'?" "Don't do it?  What does your Majesty's assassination have to do with me?" "Humph! The assassins have confessed, so why would I be such a slanderer?" Pan Zhisuo stood up and glanced at Xiao Mohe, "If not,  My Majesty, the Song Dynasty, is kind and does not want to care about this matter. Otherwise, how can we negotiate together? Just because of the assassination of your majesty, I, the Song Dynasty, have the reason to send troops to wipe out your Liao Kingdom! " "You! " Facing Pan Zhi!  Xiao Mohe Ci was furious at Sou's sharp words, saying in his heart that if the emperor of the Song Dynasty had been kind, I would have become a saint.  Yelusheng Yu, who was on the side, saw that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately came out to smooth things over: "Although the two countries cannot reach each other's satisfaction in the matter of diplomatic relations, we can still seek common ground while reserving differences. Pan Shangshu, regarding the division of territory, we can make concessions on behalf of our country.  , but can we discuss the amount of annual tribute coins? " "Sheng Yu, you! " Xiao Mo He Ci was about to speak, but Yelu Sheng Yu blocked his words with his eyes.  Pan Zhisuo tapped the collegial document rhythmically with his index finger. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said: "There is a clause in the agreement about compensation, and it does not need to be included in the clause" "Seriously!?" "About the New Moon Princess entering the court and getting married.  Your Majesty intends to betroth her to an important official in the court. If your country has no objection to this matter, then the compensation can be converted into a marriage dowry!" After Pan Zhi said this, he sat back and stopped talking.  "This" Yelu Shengyu was troubled when he heard this. Originally, Princess Xinyue came to the Song Dynasty to enter the palace and become the concubine of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.  Now she has to marry a courtier. This not only condescends the princess of the country, but also lowers the status of the entire Liao Kingdom.  No matter how powerful a minister is, he is still a minister after all.  For a moment, the negotiation table fell into silence. The envoys of the Liao Kingdom did not know how to make a decision at this moment.  If you agree, this is tantamount to insulting the status and dignity of your country.  If he disagrees, it remains to be determined whether the marriage can proceed smoothly. Even this huge compensation will be an unbearable burden for Xiliao.  Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time,, but Yelu Shengyu still felt uncomfortable, so he asked casually: "I wonder if it is the new rich man in your country?"  Master Wu Qingzhongwu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, had just entered the age of 18 and had never married before. " "Oh" Yelu Shengyu responded with a symbolic meaning. He still knew about the newcomers in the Song Dynasty.  Therefore, Yelu Shengyu can still accept the people Pan Zhi talks about.  "If the princess of his country is allowed to marry a bad old man, or acts as a second wife to fill a house, these situations are unacceptable to him under any circumstances.  "Brother Yelu, you have to understand that since your country has paid tribute to me as a vassal of the Song Dynasty, do you think it is appropriate for your majesty to marry the princess of a subject country?" Seeing that Yelu Shengyu was silent, Pan Zhizuo then added  One sentence, "Moreover, after experiencing the assassination of your country's assassins, it can be said that it shocked the entire Song Dynasty. In order to ensure the safety of His Majesty's dragon body, how can we easily let your country's princess enter the palace?" "I have already said this before.  It has nothing to do with me, Daliao!" Pan Zhisuo said that he was an assassin from your country, which made many Liao envoys present unhappy.  But Pan Zhisuo spread his hands and responded to everyone with silence, as if to say: It doesn¡¯t matter whether you are involved or not, it has nothing to do with me anyway!  "What Pan Shangshu said is reasonable, then the matter has been settled" Yelu Shengyu, who had been silent for a long time, finally made a decision without any choice.  However, rather than saying that he made the decision, it is better to say that the current situation is no longer up to him.  "Okay! The two countries will take today's negotiation as the terms of the agreement, and I will forward the draft agreement to the Minister of Finance." "Then I'll just wait for the good news!" "Please!" After Pan Zhi finished speaking, he  He got up and left, leaving only a group of lonely Xiliao envoys.  "Sheng Yu, I didn't expect that after talking for more than a month, the result is still unsatisfactory. These Southern Barbarians really eat people without spitting out their bones!" Yelu Shengyu ignored Xiao Mohe Ci's indignation and looked helpless.  He said: "The current situation is like this, how can you and I have any influence? People are like swords and we are like fish, so we can only let them slaughter us This time, we will really become the eternal sinners of Daliao." "Yes.  , such a loss of power and humiliation of the country, you and I cannot shirk the blame. But how can we all be blamed for this heavy crime?" Xiao Mohe nodded silently, but he said it with endless bitterness.  (To be continued.)
