As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately fiercely opposed by Chen Junqing, Han Yanzhi, Liu Hui, Hu Quan and others, and Hu Quan even demanded that Wang Shiyong and Li Yao be beheaded immediately, and Shi Hao should be dismissed, so as to never seek peace. **Chinese Net* Overspeed update latest chapter*) However, Shi Hao has also been prepared, Long Dayuan, Zeng Ji, Zhang Shuo and others also spoke, expressing their agreement with Shi Hao's opinion and negotiating peace with Jin Guo. Even Liang Kejia and Hong Shi, who have always maintained a neutral attitude, also believe that even if the Jin State proposes to negotiate peace first, whether it is successful or not, he will send envoys first to test the tone and attitude of the Jin people before making plans. Chen Junqing and others naturally did not agree, and the two sides insisted on their own words, and fought on the basis of reason.

The ministers quarreled in the court for another day, but there was still no result, and Emperor Zhao Dian once again brushed his sleeves in the quarrel of the ministers. When the ministers saw that the emperor had once again left without saying a word, they all dispersed.

But this time Shi Hao had a lot of thoughts, it turned out that he knew Zhao Dan's character very well, knew that he was soft-hearted, and he had no opinions, and was very easy to be manipulated by others, so he didn't leave like other ministers, he grabbed Long Dayuan, and after all the other ministers dispersed, he asked the inner servants to see Zhao Dan, hoping to be able to move Zhao Dan alone.

After a while, the chamberlain returned, and Zhao Dian recruited the two of them to meet him.

The two of them entered, and after the salute, Zhao Dan said: "The two Qing ask to see Yu Zhen, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Long Dayuan said: "Back to Your Majesty, the words of the prime minister of history are the best policy, and now only by negotiating peace with the Jin people can we keep the Great Song Dynasty and continue the clan." Otherwise, not only will the foundation of more than 200 years passed down by Emperor Taizu Taizong be unsafeguarded, but even His Majesty will be unable to protect the lives of his whole family. The minister could not bear to see His Majesty here, so he risked his life to see him, and asked His Majesty not to hesitate and make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Dian frowned, Qingjia's words are alarmist, in my opinion, it may not be so. What's more, Yang Yan has a plan, advancing by land and water, and it seems that it is not difficult to defeat the Jin people. ”

Shi Hao said: "This Your Majesty was mistaken by Yang Yan, as Yang Yan said, attacking the Jin army by land and water, not to mention the land route, the Jin people's riding and archery skills are unparalleled in the world, people are like tigers, horses are like dragons, and people are like clouds: the Jurchen cannot be full of 10,000, and 10,000 cannot be enemies." It's the waterway, and now my Great Song Dynasty is no match for the Jin people's water masters. ”

Zhao Dian was stunned, shook his head and said: "The Jin army is good at riding and shooting, and I know it, but since ancient times: the northerners ride horses, the southerners take boats, and my Great Song Dynasty and the Jin people have not lost a water battle, how can I say that my Great Song Dynasty naval army is not as good as the Jin people?" ”

Shi Hao said: "Your Majesty, where did the Jin people's southern invasion come from in the first place?" ”

Zhao Dian said: "It is from the sea." ”

Shi Hao nodded and said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, this time the Jin people attacked from the sea, and didn't Li Bao also lead the Great Song Navy to fight?" The result? was defeated by the Jin Guoshui Division, almost all the troops were wiped out, and Li Bao also fled to Guangnan to survive. The Jin people can attack our Great Song Dynasty from the sea, and our Great Song sailors are powerless to stop it, which shows that the Jin people's sailors are stronger than my Great Song Dynasty. Now that my Great Song Dynasty is inferior to the Jin Army on both land and water, how can I fight again? ”

Zhao Dian listened and was silent. It turned out that Zhao Dan's heart was also full of contradictions now, Yang Yan's matter was finally put aside, and now he was hesitant to make a move for war or peace with Jin Guo. Zhao Dian knew that how to make peace, he would inevitably be directly blamed by everyone, and he was a little unwilling. But if there is a war, Zhao Dian feels uncertain. Originally, the strategic plan proposed by Yang Yan gave Zhao Dian some confidence, but when Shi Hao said this just now, Zhao Dian felt that although it was a bit exaggerated, it was not unreasonable, and it seemed that it was too risky to start a war.

Shi Hao saw that Zhao Dian was a little moved, and immediately continued: "Your Majesty can smell gambling? The gambler is about to lose all his money, but he puts everything he has, which is called a desperate bet. Chen Junqing, Han Yanzhi, Yang Yan and others did not hesitate to take His Majesty's desperate bet on it in order to seek his name, wouldn't it be dangerous. ”

Zhao Dan's body shook the peace, so there was nothing else to do? ”

When Shi Hao heard him ask, he knew that Zhao Dian was beginning to be tempted, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but his face was still silent, His Majesty, and there was really nothing else to do. ”

Long Dayuan hurriedly said on the side: "Your Majesty, if you want to protect the temple now, the only way to do so is to negotiate peace." ”

Zhao Dian hesitated for a moment, did Jin Ren really want to negotiate peace with my Great Song Dynasty? Could it be another attempt, Shaoxing ten years, Shaoxing thirty-two years, the Jin people have betrayed the alliance twice, it is difficult to ensure that the Jin people are not repeated. ”

Shi Hao said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister can be upright, the Jin people are sincere to make peace with my Great Song this time." ”

Zhao Dian said: "How can you see it? ”

Shi Hao said: "The Jin people captured Lin'an, and there has been a month of She, but the Jin people did not take advantage of the victory to march and continue to attack Tianlin Mansion, but always held the front line of Lin'an, it can be seen that the Jin people and Ben had no intention of destroying the Great Song Dynasty, but if we insist on fighting with the Jin people, we are afraid that we will be angered by the Jin people, and we will really destroy the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhao Dian pondered for a while before he said: "Qing Yan is extremely true, wait for me to gather all the ministers to discuss tomorrow, and then make a decision."

Shi Hao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, now we have been discussing for a long time, but there is still no result, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a decision tomorrow, but the Jin people are impatient to wait, maybe they will change their minds." Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to make a decision immediately, and if you do not visit, you can send Wang Zhiwang and Lin Li as envoys to the Jin State to discuss peace talks with the Jin State, which can show that my Great Song Dynasty is also sincere. Second, you can also try the attitude of Jin Guo. "Saying that, Shi Hao knelt in front of Zhao Dan, Your Majesty must not hesitate, and make a decision as soon as possible."

Long Dayuan also knelt down and said: If the judgment continues, it will be chaotic, please Your Majesty must not hesitate and make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Dian was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay, then as Qing said, I will make an order immediately." ”

So Zhao Dian immediately issued an order, with Wang Zhiwang and Lin Su as envoys, and immediately went to Lin'an to contact the Jin people to discuss peace talks. Wang Zhiwang and Lin Su had already prepared their bags, and as soon as they saw the holy decree issued, they immediately left the city overnight, followed Wang Shiyong and Li Yao to leave Tianlin Mansion and rush to Lin'an.

When Chen Junqing, Han Yanzhi, Liu Heng and others found out, they immediately asked to see Zhao Dan, but they received a reply from the emperor who was in poor health and did not see the ministers for the time being. This was also Shi Hao's idea, so that Zhao Dian pretended to be sick and did not see other ministers. And Zhao Dian also wanted to settle down quietly, and he also acted according to the plan. Chen Junqing, Han Yanzhi, Liu Heng and others could only cry out in vain when they saw this. And Zhao Dian ordered all Song armies to temporarily stop using troops against Jin, and wait for the results of the peace talks.
