Zhou Kui and Ye Hao couldn't refute this, and Zhao Ruyu also agreed with Wang Yan's opinion, thinking that adding this article could test Jin Guo's true intentions. In addition, Zhao Chen also insisted on adding this article, because this time it was the emperor's private money, and Zhao Chen spoke much harder, so he finally added this article.

In fact, Yang Yan calculated that with these two items, it was basically impossible for Jin Guo to agree, but for the sake of insurance, Yang Yan offered a third trick to make a fuss about Jin Guo's public opinion.

Wanyan Changzhi, Wanyan Fushou, Na Yan Ming'an, Zhang Hu and others also estimated that although the redemption of land was a plan, it was difficult to get the approval of the whole country of Dajin, and secondly, they were afraid that their true intentions would be known by the Song Dynasty, so Wanyan Changzhi and others planned to negotiate with the Song Dynasty and then communicate with the whole country. It was also very thorough in dealing with it, and only after a decision was made did it inform the other four ruling ministers and tell them to keep it a secret, and the other ministers did not know anything about it.

On the way to Zhongdu, Fan Chengda was very high-profile along the way because he was instructed by the imperial court, and he focused on publicizing this matter to the officials who greeted him along the way. And the officials of the Jin State along the way did not know that the imperial court had reached such an agreement with the Song Dynasty, so it was also broadcast everywhere, and there were spy personnel of the Song Dynasty who added fuel to the fire, so it soon spread to the central capital, although the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty had not yet arrived, but the government and the opposition in the central capital knew about it. After the rumors were processed by the spy personnel of the Song Dynasty, they also expanded indefinitely, and it became that the emperor had to buy the land to the Song Dynasty in order to build a large number of buildings, expand palaces and other pleasures.

In any dynasty, there are always a few sober-minded people, and the vast majority of middle- and lower-level officials in the Jin State can only see the surface of things, and naturally they cannot agree with the practice of exchanging money with land with the imperial court, and they oppose it greatly. In addition, there are still many people who are extremely dissatisfied with the imperial court's decision to investigate the land and reform the tax system, but they were forcibly suppressed by Wan Yan Changzhi with an iron fist, and the dissatisfaction can only be held in their hearts. This time, he took advantage of this opportunity to play on the topic and criticized the resolution of the imperial court to exchange land for money. At this time, the spy personnel of the Great Song Dynasty were also secretly fanning the flames, making the tide of opposition to the imperial court bigger and bigger.

And different from Zhao Chen's relatively open and transparent way of governing, Wanyan Changzhi seized the throne by force and ascended the throne not long ago, so he did not dare to trust the ministers of the previous dynasty, so although there were seven ruling ministers in the Jin State, only Wanyan Fushou, Na Yan Ming'an, and Zhang Hu were trusted by Wan Yan Changzhi, and the major affairs of the court were discussed with the three of them, and the powers of the other four were basically hollowed out.

After a long time, the other four people were dissatisfied, and the servant was persuaded to surrender by Wanyan Changzhi on the battlefield, and it was better, but the other three were very dissatisfied with this, Wanyan Zongzheng had the heart to avoid, and Su Shi Lieliangbi and Bai Yanjing both had their own merits, and they all had a lot of complaints. Therefore, although they understood the resolution of the imperial court, and they all had the same meaning, they all stood by and watched at this time, and they were happy to watch and laugh on the side.

In the past, when Wanyan Changzhi was reading history books, he always felt that the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty in the past were too weak, and they were always swayed by the ministers, and some of the original good governing policies and correct national policies could not be implemented. In his opinion, how could the emperor be swayed by ministers and public opinion? It should be "alone, assertive, and alone". To be an emperor is to pretend that you can't hear or see, and hide your own wisdom so that your subordinates can't figure out the emperor's preferences and intentions, and thus can't curry favor and hide yourself.

Therefore, Wanyan Changzhi also intends to get close to Wanyan Fushou, Na Yan Ming'an, and Zhang Hu, and keep a certain distance from other ministers, on the one hand, because these three people can be absolutely trusted, and on the other hand, it is also to let other ministers have a deep sense of self-esteem, so that they dare not harbor evil intentions and have untreacherous intentions.

At this time, Wan Yan Changzhi finally understood the difficulties of those Song Dynasty emperors. Because this time it is not against the tax reform, it can be said that most of the opponents are sincerely for the sake of national affairs, and their own actions are also only for the good of Dajin, and the hidden truth is not something that can be explained in one or two sentences. Therefore, they are all for the same purpose, but they are incompatible.

Some people even wrote to Wan Yan Chang's way: His Majesty seeks the wealth and strength of Dajin, and has already discussed changing the old law, drawing a state plan, and benefiting the world. Now, why is it that in order to ask for hundreds of thousands of dollars, he ignores the foundation created by his ancestors? Even if this is the case, why should he risk the greatness of the world and not violate the old law?

This book is to force the land concession and the reform of the tax system together, and immediately inspired many ministers who were dissatisfied with the change, so they wrote to the court one after another, using the topic to play, clearly pointing out the land concession, in fact, to crack down on the change, so that Wan Yanchang's head was as big as a fight, and he vaguely felt that the development of things was somewhat out of his control.

After listening to Yan Changzhi's words, Zhang Hu also frowned deeply, he couldn't imagine that it was originally a good plan, but it was beaten and cut by the Song Dynasty, and now it has become a dilemma.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Hu said: "Your Majesty, the current situation can be divided into two parts to deal with, one is the request put forward by the Song Dynasty, and the other is the opinion of our Dajin inside. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi nodded and said, "Qing Yan is reasonable, although on the surface, these two things complement each other, but in fact, they have their own plans, so it is the right way to deal with them separately." ”

Zhang Hu continued: "First of all, we must not accept the request put forward by the Song Dynasty, but even if it is a negotiation, then there is a discussion, and if you don't visit, you can negotiate slowly." Naturally, the land could not be given up in full according to the Song Dynasty, but only the other part could be ceded, under the pretext that there were too many transfers at one time, and the procedures were difficult to handle, so four or five state capitals that were not too close to the location were selected first, and the first batch was transferred to the Song Dynasty, and the rest was slowly negotiated. As for the Mongolian side, it doesn't matter the overall situation, even if I agree to it, what can I do? Whether you can respect it in the future, and how to keep it, isn't it up to me to say it? ”

Wan Yan Changzhi pondered for a moment, but was noncommittal, and asked again: "Then how will we deal with the domestic opposition of Dajin?" ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hu said: "Please forgive the minister, although there are many opponents in the country, they can be divided into two parts, one part is really for my big gold, for the sake of His Majesty, but I don't understand the emperor's good intentions for a while. Therefore, for this part of the people, we should still focus on persuasion and try our best to persuade him, even if they have some radical words, please not blame the emperor. On the other hand, some people have ulterior motives, nominally opposing the transfer of land, but in essence 'Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, intended for Pei Gong", so this part of the people must not be polite, and must be severely punished, which can not only deal a blow to the anger of those who oppose the reform of the tax system, but also deter people's hearts. ”

After Yan Changzhi listened, he pondered for a long time, Zhang Hu said that it was indeed very reasonable, but it was quite difficult to implement, first of all, whether the Song Dynasty would accept the proposition of the Jin State, it was not necessarily, after all, the Song Dynasty proposed to redeem the twelve states and four prefectures, I am afraid that it was to throw this hot potato to Dajin to deal with. On the other hand, there are many more opponents this time than those who oppose the reform of the tax system, and whether the imperial court can still hold it down is not sure whether Wanyan Changzhi is not sure.

Although it is true that as Zhang Hu said, some of the opponents are sincerely for the sake of the country, and some have ulterior motives and should be treated differently. But I'm afraid it's hard to distinguish between them, and there are two kinds of goals. Although he is the emperor, if everyone is against him, I am afraid that this throne will not last long. But after Yan Changzhi thought about it, things are now blocked by the scriptures, I'm afraid there is no better way than Zhang Hu's proposal to build me, whether it is successful or not, I have to give it a try, it is better than doing nothing.

Therefore, he finished his way: "Bo Yi, just do what you say, tomorrow you will negotiate with the Song Dynasty mission, try to persuade them to accept our conditions, and I will send someone to deal with other aspects." ”

Zhang Hu nodded and said, "Honorable Order." ”

The next day, Zhang Hu immediately summoned Fan Chengda and his party to discuss an agreement on the exchange of land.

At this time, Fan Chengda was tired of waiting. Since handing in the credentials, the Great Song Dynasty mission has been waiting in the embassy, waiting for five days without any news, and no one has come to talk about business. When I asked the officials who received the service, they also shirked left and right, and there was no quasi-letter.

Although Fan Chengda also supports that this agreement can be negotiated, he is still quite wary of the Jin State, and now that he has arrived in the Central Capital, he sees that it is like this again, and the rumors of the Jin State government and the opposition have also reached his ears to some extent, which also makes Fan Chengda have to doubt how much the Jin State's Chengyi has arrived.

At this time, he finally waited for Zhang Hu's reception, and Fan Chengda calmed down a little, so he immediately took the members of the mission to Zhang Hu's yamen. After meeting Zhang Hu, he learned that Jin Guo had proposed a new plan, and only agreed to transfer five places in Ruzhou, Haozhou, Suzhou, Fengxiangfu, and Suidezhou first, and the rest of the country would wait for this time after the completion of the settlement.

Fan Chengda had the feeling of being deceived by Jin Guo at that time, and immediately took the case, angrily denounced Jin Guo for having no credit, categorically rejected Jin Guo's proposal, and did not continue to talk, leading everyone to leave.

Zhang Hu also felt bored, so he had to enter the palace to see Yan Changzhi.

After Nazhi waited for him to finish speaking, Wan Yan Changzhi smiled bitterly and said, "Boyi, take this opportunity to terminate the negotiation with the Southern Song Dynasty." ”
