Chapter 301 Aguda: The Song Dynasty has sent you an invitation!
Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly. What does this talk about the Song Dynasty have to do with the Ming Dynasty?!
Furthermore, if it weren't for the An Lushan Rebellion in their Tang Dynasty, would Shi Jingtang have been able to cede the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun?
No matter what! Old Zhu still managed to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun!!!
Seeing that Zhu's expression didn't seem angry, the senior officials immediately stood up. It was good that His Majesty wasn't angry, otherwise they would have to go and ask the Empress for help.
Empress Ma, whose function is comparable to a fire extinguisher: ?? っ ?-??
……
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin was heartbroken. Old Zhu was right; if it weren't for the An Lushan Rebellion, would all these things have happened?!
Another day when I want to beat Li Longji to a pulp!
Li Longji, who is currently retiring: (??? ? ???)
……
Back to the live broadcast room.
"As mentioned before, two years before the Song and Jin dynasties formally signed the Maritime Alliance, the Song dynasty had already sent envoys to discuss the matter with Wanyan Aguda."
Judging from these recent diplomatic talks, a skilled diplomat is truly essential!
"However, in 1118 AD, when the Song Dynasty sent envoys to the Jin Dynasty for negotiations, although they had learned from their mistakes and brought someone who understood a foreign language, they still looked down on a small country like the Jurchens."
"Moreover, their sincerity seemed somewhat lacking. Ostensibly, they came to discuss the destruction of the Liao dynasty, but the Song envoys did not carry a letter of state from Emperor Huizong of Song."
"Therefore, Wanyan Aguda was very conflicted, and in the end, he still sent Li Shanqing to the capital to check on the situation."
"However, the situation in the Song Dynasty was not that different. When Li Shanqing was preparing to return to the Jin Dynasty, the officials of the Northern Song Dynasty disagreed on whether his diplomatic protocol should be a letter of state or an imperial edict."
"Among them, Zhao Liangsi believed that a formal letter should be used to express the attitude of the Song Dynasty."
"However, another minister, Zhao Youkai, believed that the Jurchens had been oppressed by the Liao Dynasty for a century, and at best were only military governors. Our Great Song Dynasty only needs imperial edicts to deal with them!!!"
"The difference between a state letter and an imperial edict is generally a matter of attitude towards other countries, whether or not they are placed on an equal footing. However, the attitude of the Song Dynasty officials may have been influenced by Emperor Huizong of Song."
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: ...I give up...What time is it now!
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: At this point, the strength of Song and Liao was about equal!
First Emperor: ...If one side is too strong and the other side is too weak, the Song Dynasty will always be led by the nose.
Kangxu of the Qing Dynasty: There is another point. A powerful country can completely ignore the contents of the alliance. Precisely because it is weak, it will be beaten!
The Song Dynasty emperor, his heart pierced: He saw through it all but said nothing…
……
"Afterwards, Zhao Youkai accompanied the Jurchens back to the Jurchen state to negotiate peace, but he died unexpectedly en route. At that time, the Jurchens and the Liao Dynasty were locked in a fierce dispute."
"Logically speaking, when this news reached the Song Dynasty, it shouldn't have been that the Jin-Liao peace talks had gone smoothly. But when it reached the Song Dynasty, it was already said that the Jin-Liao peace talks had gone smoothly."
"The Northern Song Dynasty originally intended to control the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, so upon seeing this, they sent the main force back, leaving only Huyan Qing, who spoke the Jurchen language, behind with the imperial edict."
"When Wanyan Aguda saw the imperial edict from the Song Dynasty, he was furious. He thought to himself, 'The Liao Dynasty didn't take me seriously, and now the Song Dynasty is doing the same! They've already gone halfway and they still insist on turning back. Do they look down on my Great Jin?'"
"Therefore, Huyan Qing of the Song Dynasty directly attacked Wanyan Aguda's anger and was imprisoned for several months before he was released."
Before leaving, he also handed Emperor Huizong a letter from Wanyan Aguda, the contents of which were roughly as follows:
[The idea of a joint effort to destroy the Liao Dynasty was originally proposed by your Song Dynasty, and we allowed you to participate. But you actually tried to fool us with an imperial edict...]
"Perhaps Aguda later pondered why the Song Dynasty repeatedly changed its mind, and added a sentence to the letter:"
Our peace talks with Liaodong were completely unsuccessful!!! We were hoping you would join us in the talks, but instead, we were humiliated!!!
If the Song Dynasty truly wishes to join us in destroying the Liao Dynasty, then please bring a letter of state to discuss this!
"However, Emperor Huizong seemed to have lost his mind, and actually wrote a letter back to Aguda. What, were you showing off your excellent calligraphy skills?"
Emperor Zhezong of Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu: ...
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty commented: "Has he lost his mind?! How can he be so dismissive in this situation?!"
A spoiled young man from the Tang Dynasty: I really don't understand why he did this. Does he still look down on the Jurchens?
A scholar-official from the Han Dynasty: At this point, shouldn't we be treating these peace talks more seriously?
……
During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty
They were in the midst of a court assembly at that moment.
Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, sat high above, his heart filled with rage. Don't think he was unaware of what those courtiers were whispering and doing down there!
Miss Lin, couldn't you have put it more tactfully? How could the mighty Song Dynasty not issue an edict to the Jurchens?!
The courtier's inner monologue: "I'm so bad at this, and you won't even let me think about it!"
The high-ranking officials below them couldn't understand why the Northern Song Dynasty had fallen to such a state!
But they don't even consider that a bunch of treacherous officials only know how to bring disaster to the Northern Song Dynasty, and they still have the nerve to wonder why!?
……
In the live broadcast room.
Lin Ke was speechless at Emperor Huizong's actions, and even laughed in anger!
At this point, don't you understand the strength of the Song Dynasty at that time?
Then she sighed, "No matter how you look at it, from a purely diplomatic perspective, Emperor Huizong's move was indeed a mistake."
