It turned out that when Zhang Hu and Fan Chengda were talking, another major event occurred in the court, and finally changed Wanyan Changzhi's attitude and completely gave up negotiations with the Song Dynasty.

It turned out that early this morning, Hu Leming, Shulu, Wulintai, and Wuyan Tuochi came to invite Wan Yan Changzhi and brought a joint letter from the main generals of the Janissaries stationed in the Central Capital.

In the above book, all the generals expressed their incomprehension about the imperial court's decision to sell the land to the Song Dynasty, how could the land they had worked so hard to win be returned to the Southern Song Dynasty for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver? Therefore, all the generals petitioned the imperial court, asking the imperial court to retract this decision, and if the imperial court was really short of money, they would rather go to the Southern Song Dynasty to loot.

Regarding the requests of Hu Leming, Shulu, Wulintai, and Wuyan Tuochi, Wanyan Changzhi obviously couldn't treat them like ordinary people, reprimanded them, and drove them away, but explained the purpose and intention of this proposal to them in detail. And Hu Leming and the others are people who have been studying art in Huining Temple for more than ten years, and they know the priority of the matter, so after listening to it, they suddenly realized, and they are busy like Yan Changzhi's accompaniment, and promise to persuade the other generals. Wanyan Changzhi did not reproach them, but said a few words of entropy and asked them to go back to appease the army.

But after Hu Leming and the others left, Wanyan Changzhi fell into contemplation again, and this time it touched him quite a lot, because Wanyan Changzhi was born in the military, and he seized the throne by force, and he knew the importance of the army.

Most of the soldiers were born in lower-middle-class families, and their families did not own much land, and the reform of the tax system did not cause them any loss, on the contrary, because after the tax service was apportioned, the burden on many people's families was reduced, so they had no objection to Wanyan Changzhi's proposal to reform the tax system. It is precisely because of the support of the army that Wanyan Changzhi dared to ignore the opposition of other powerful forces and let go of the tax reform.

This time was different, and the plan to turn the land into silver had apparently received great criticism among the army, and although there had not yet been a strong wave of opposition, it was enough to arouse the vigilance of Wan Yan Changzhi. Although he persuaded the four of them this time, and they also promised to persuade the other soldiers, Wan Yan Changzhi knew in his heart that the other soldiers did not have the knowledge and experience of the four of them, nor did they understand any big truths, and it was almost impossible to completely convince ordinary soldiers to approve of this plan.

Therefore, in Wan Yan Chang's heart, Yijing had the idea of giving up this plan, and he must have wanted to contain the Southern Song Dynasty, and there were other ways. Moreover, after the successful reform of the tax system, the finances of the imperial court will not be stretched. If the negotiations between Zhang Hu and the Southern Song Dynasty go smoothly today, and the Southern Song Dynasty mission has the intention of loosening, Wanyan Changzhi may hesitate for a while, but judging from the situation brought back by Zhang Hu, the Southern Song Dynasty obviously has no possibility of concessions, so this is also the last straw that pressed the camel, and Wanyan Changzhi finally decided to stop the plan to exchange land for silver.

After listening to Yan Changzhi's explanation, Zhang Hu was also speechless. He also understood that if he insisted on carrying out the plan of exchanging land for silver, it would only attract more opposition and even shake Wan Yan's dominance. On the other hand, if the plan is terminated, it will not only quell the tide of opposition, but also give those who oppose tax reform an excuse, and for now, the best way to do it is to use the economy.

After receiving the notice of Jin Guo's termination of the judgment, Fan Chengda did not show any excesses, because after the last meeting with Zhang Hu, he had no trust in Jin Guoyijing. So without saying a word, he immediately packed his bags and led the Great Song delegation back to the Southern Song Dynasty. The nearly year-long negotiations between Song and Jin finally ended in failure, and there was no buffer between the two feuding countries, which could only be resolved by force.

Fan Chengda returned to Jiankang and reported the results of this envoy to the Jin State to the Great Song Dynasty court in detail. This immediately aroused the strong anger of the Great Song Qunchen, because this plan was first proposed by the Jin State, and now it was the Jin State that first terminated the negotiations, so the Great Song Qunchen, since they were those ministers who had believed in the Jin State and had great interest in this plan and strongly supported it, naturally had a feeling of being tricked by the Jin State.

The ministers who had opposed the plan raised their eyebrows and even became proud for several days. At the same time, many ministers asked Zhou Kui, Ye Hao and several other ministers who strongly advocated accepting this plan to resign voluntarily, and the imperial envoys also seized this opportunity to beat the water dogs and violently impeached them, for fear that they would be one step too late and miss this opportunity.

The people from all walks of life were also very angry at the attitude of the Jin State, and they wrote to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to immediately send troops to the Northern Expedition to recover the lost territory. As a result, the government and the opposition throughout the Great Song Dynasty launched a wave of anti-gold frenzy before it suddenly.

Three days later, Zhao Chen issued an edict, saying that this betrayal of the alliance was the abandonment of the Jin people and had nothing to do with the ministers of the DPRK and China. All the ministers are for the sake of the country and have good intentions, so the court will not hold anyone accountable. However, in the future, the DPRK and China will no longer be allowed to mention the matter of negotiating peace with the Kim state, nor will they accept any matter related to the negotiation with the Kim state.

However, although the emperor said that he would not hold the minister responsible, Zhou Kui and Ye Hao, who spared no effort to support this plan, still knew in their hearts that the emperor did this to leave enough face for himself, and when things developed to this point, others might be able to escape, but he didn't have the face to stay in the court anymore, so they all took the initiative to resign, asked to be sent out, went out to avoid the limelight for a few years, and then thought of returning to the center. This was also a common method in the political arena of the Great Song Dynasty in the past.

Two days later, the imperial court issued an order and accepted the resignation of the two, appointing Zhou Kui as the governor of Longxing and Ye Hao as the governor of Jiangling, both of which were sent to the local government as officials. He also appointed Zhang Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Ye Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to replace the two of them as the governors of the political affairs, and appointed Zhu Xi as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Liang as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Lu Jiuyuan and Lu Zuqian as the attendants and edicts.

At the same time, Zhao Chen also complied with the will of the people, and ordered the imperial garrisons on the border to prepare for the Great Song Dynasty to attack the Jin State at any time. This decree was also unanimously endorsed by the Manchu ministers

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "It's still my brother-in-law who has a way, this time he even eliminated it, and the golden man lifted a stone to hit his own feet." ”

Yang Yan said: "Your Majesty, don't be too happy, although we have resolved the tricks of the Jin Kingdom, but for the Jin Kingdom itself, we have not suffered much loss, on the contrary, now the Jin Kingdom is also learning from my Great Song Dynasty and carrying out law reform and innovation, once they succeed in changing the law, the country will inevitably increase greatly, and it will also be unfavorable to my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhao Chen said: "This point is not only in my heart, because the reform of the law is such a big thing, how can it be successful in a moment. It was my Great Song Dynasty, first with the ring of Xining's law change, and then with the dedication of Han Xiang, Zhao Xiang, Xin You'an, brother-in-law and other loyal and virtuous ministers, and it took four or five years of hard work to achieve nothing more than a small achievement. How can the Jin Kingdom be achieved overnight, not to mention that I will not let the Jin Kingdom be so comfortable to change the law and innovate, so at this time, my Great Song Dynasty sent troops to attack the Jin Kingdom, one is to conform to the will of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the other is to seize the weakness of the Jin Kingdom, I don't know what my brother-in-law thinks? If there is a shortage of military spending, I can pull money out of the inner treasury. ”

Successfully got rid of the conspiracy of the Jin State, and Zhao Chen's reputation was not damaged at all, on the contrary, because he took the initiative to take out the domestic currency, he also won a good reputation for Zhao Chen who was not greedy for money and pleasure, and was only for the sake of the country.

Yang Yan shook his head and said: "Official, now is not the time to send troops to the Northern Expedition on a large scale, one is that the national strength of the Jin State is still there, and there is no turmoil in the country, so it cannot be easily conquered, and the other is that there are still hidden dangers within my Great Song Dynasty, that is, the Ren clan in Anxi." If you don't get rid of the internal troubles, why should you calm the outside? ”

Zhao Chen frowned and said: "The imperial court sent Bi Zaiyu to sit in Anxi, didn't my brother-in-law think that Bi Zai Yu was here on Anxi Road, and the Ren family couldn't make many waves?" ”

Yang Yan said: "Having said that, the imperial court also has to do a good job of prevention, what if it encounters peace and chaos again?" Therefore, the imperial court still has to have spare strength? ”

Zhao Chen smiled bitterly and said: "What my brother-in-law said is also right, it's just that Ren's delay in making a move is also a problem for his henchmen, and now the Great Song Dynasty is eager to fight, and it is the time when the military heart is available, and if the court does not do anything, I am afraid that it will hurt the morale of the people." ”

Yang Yan said: "It is not unreasonable for the official family to think about it. According to the minister's opinion, it is advisable to take a two-pronged approach, on the one hand, to make the imperial garrison on the Jianghuai border attack on all sides of the border and launch some small-scale attacks, on the one hand, to conform to the current morale and popular will, and on the other hand, it can also involve the energy of the Jin State, so that it cannot fully devote itself to the reform of the law. If some small victories are achieved, they can also boost the morale of the army, and even if they fail, the losses will not be large, and they will not hurt the vitality of the imperial court. At the same time, it can also motivate the Ren family to act as soon as possible, and the imperial court also retains considerable strength to deal with other changes. ”

Zhao Chen nodded at this time and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law's plan is very good, I think it will be up to my sister to supervise the imperial garrison on the Jianghuai border to fight." ”
