Jin Kingdom, Yanjing, inside the imperial palace. Wanyan Sheng sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy expression. His eyes swept over every courtier in the court, as if looking for answers that could bring him comfort. "Have you all heard about the internal changes in the Song Dynasty?" Wanyan Sheng spoke slowly, with a hint of exhaustion and helplessness in his voice. In the court hall, Wanyan Zongyi stood at the front. He told the story of the recent internal changes in the Song Dynasty. There was no emotion in his words, as if he was just stating a fact. However, this fact caused a stir in the hearts of the courtiers. He clearly remembered the scene three years ago when the Jin cavalry attacked Kaifeng City as if they were in uninhabited territory. The Song Dynasty was weak and incompetent at that time, and the Kingdom of Jin benefited greatly from it. Every year, the Song Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands of taels of coins to the Jin Kingdom. This wealth greatly enhanced the Jin Kingdom's national power. However, today's Song Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the tough-minded Zhao Yingluo supervising the country makes Wanyan Sheng feel extremely uneasy. Wanyan Sheng's heart was full of complexities and contradictions.
He hoped that the Song Dynasty would continue to remain weak so that the Jin Kingdom could easily control it and gain benefits from it. However, he also knew clearly that a powerful Song Dynasty was also a huge threat to the Jin Kingdom. In the court, Wanyan Zongfu stood up. "Your Majesty, I think we should send an envoy to Kaifeng to congratulate Zhao Yingluo on supervising the country. At the same time, we can also take this opportunity to draw closer the relationship between the Jin and Song Dynasties. Today's Song Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, and we can no longer do what we did in the past. Despise them." Since his defeat at the hands of Zhao Yingluo, he has completely lost his spirit. Wanyan Zongfu's words made Wanyan Sheng frown. He knew that Wanyan Zongfu had completely lost his spirit since his defeat at the hands of Zhao Yingluo. However, he could not deny that Wanyan Zongfu's words had some truth. It is an indisputable fact that the Song Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger. If the Jin Kingdom continues to be its enemy, it may fall into an unfavorable situation. Wanyan Zongfu's words were supported by Wanyan Zongyi. "Father, I think what Mr. Wanyan Zongfu said is absolutely true. Today, the Song Dynasty is very powerful and the government and the public are vigorous. We can no longer underestimate them as we did in the past. Sending envoys to repair the relationship between the two countries will be of great benefit to us, the Kingdom of Jin. And no harm done.” Wanyan Sheng nodded in agreement, but still felt a little unwilling in his heart. However, not everyone agrees with Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zongyi's views. Wanyan Zonghan stood up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I think we should take advantage of the situation of the Song Dynasty to be unstable and attack southward! We should avenge our shame! Although the national power of the Song Dynasty has improved, as long as our Jin Kingdom cavalry comes out, we will definitely be able to Attack their capital again!" Wanyan Zonghan's words caused a flash of restlessness in Wanyan Sheng's eyes, and immediately caused an uproar in the court. Some courtiers supported his view, believing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and that the Jin Kingdom should seize this opportunity to eliminate the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. However, some courtiers opposed his view, believing that it was too risky and that if it failed, the consequences would be disastrous. Wanyan Sheng looked at the quarreling courtiers in the court, feeling helpless in his heart. He knew that no matter what decision he made, there would be opposition. However, as the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, he must be responsible for the future of the Jin Kingdom. He pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "I decided to send an envoy to Kaifeng to congratulate Zhao Yingluo on supervising the country."
This decision immediately caused a sensation in the court. Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zongyi had happy expressions on their faces, while Wanyan Zonghan had a look of unwillingness and anger. Wanyan Sheng looked at Wanyan Zonghan's expression and sighed softly in his heart. He knew that Wanyan Zonghan was an ambitious man. He had always wanted to destroy the Song Dynasty and establish a more powerful Jin Kingdom. However, the reality is cruel. After years of war, the Jin Kingdom has been seriously injured and needs to recuperate. "Nianhan, you have to understand that I made this decision for the future of the Kingdom of Jin." Wanyan Sheng spoke slowly, with a hint of exhaustion and helplessness in his voice, "The Song Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, and we can no longer despise it as we did in the past. We need to establish a good relationship with the Song Dynasty, so that we can ensure that the Kingdom of Jin long-term peace and stability.” Wanyan Zonghan listened to Wanyan Sheng's words. Although he was unwilling to give in, he could only accept this reality. It was already a bit cold in Yanjing in October, and the atmosphere in the court became solemn following Wanyan Sheng's decision. Wanyan Sheng looked at the courtiers in the court and sighed softly in his heart. He knew that his decision was not perfect and might even arouse dissatisfaction and opposition from some people. However, as the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, he must be responsible for the future of the Kingdom of Jin. He believes that his decision can bring a better future to the Kingdom of Jin. The convoy of Jin envoys slowly drove out of Yanjing City and headed towards Kaifeng. As an envoy, Wanyan Zongyi was full of expectations and anxiety, not knowing what the outcome of this mission would be. In November in the Central Plains, the wind is freezing and snowflakes are flying. Wanyan Zongyi's motorcade drove slowly on the road to Kaifeng, the wheels making a creaking sound as they ran over the snow. Through the car window, Wanyan Zongyi saw the wheat seedlings along the way. Although it had just snowed, the wheat seedlings still showed their heads tenaciously and were full of green. He couldn't help but sigh that Zhao Yingluo was really a strange person. In just three years, her identity has undergone earth-shaking changes, from Lu Haowen's niece, to Zongze's adopted daughter, to Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Song Dynasty, and now she has the important task of supervising the country. Every change in her identity is accompanied by a legendary story. Wanyan Zongyi clearly remembered that Zhao Yingluo, as a member of the Song Dynasty clan, was escorted north by the Jin Kingdom. Since she successfully escaped the control of the Jin Kingdom and returned to the Song Dynasty, she was like a bright star rising in the sky of the Song Dynasty. Wanyan Zongyi couldn't help but be full of curiosity and awe towards Zhao Yingluo. He wanted to know what kind of wisdom and courage this strange woman had to create so many miracles in just three years. Her seeds allowed the people of the Song Dynasty to bid farewell to famine, and the firecrackers and artillery she ordered developed became a weapon that defeated the Jin Kingdom. These achievements, no matter which one they are, are enough to make her famous in history. The motorcade slowly drove into Kaifeng City, and Wanyan Zongyi saw the prosperity and vitality of this ancient city. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going. The main hall of the court meeting is magnificent and resplendent. Sunlight shines through the exquisite window lattice into the hall, forming mottled light and shadow. There was a solemn and solemn atmosphere in the air. As the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zongyi once again stood in this hall. His eyes couldn't help but fall on the beautiful figure on the dragon throne. Zhao Yingluo was wearing a gorgeous dress and sitting on a dragon chair. Her face was beautiful and she exuded a very oppressive aura.
