When he saw that he was his former minister, the grievances he had felt for more than two years suddenly flooded into his heart. Zhao Huan actually burst into tears in front of the two of them, "I... I thought... I thought I would never see these two ministers again. Home!”
When the two old men saw that the emperor who used to be fat in the past was now as thin as a monkey, they felt not only sympathy but also anger.
These Jin men actually abused the emperor of the Song Dynasty to this extent! After crying for a long time, Zhao Huan gradually stopped, stood up, straightened his clothes, dusted himself off and asked, "How did Erqing's family get to Yanjing?"
Lu Haowen cupped his hands and said, "The Song Dynasty fought against the Jin people and won a great victory. They captured the Jin people's marshal, prince and nearly ten thousand horses. The two of us were ordered by the princess to go to Yanjing as envoys to exchange the Jin people for their officials. family, the clan and officials of the Song Dynasty."
When Zhao Huan heard that they were coming to exchange for him to return to the south, he was immediately overjoyed. He grabbed Lu Haowen's hand and asked with bright eyes, "Is what the Lu Qing family said true? Don't lie to me!" "
"The officials just need to wait for the good news. The two of us are here to reveal the news to the officials in advance, so that the officials can prepare for the return to the south as soon as possible. If everything is correct, the officials can follow me in two days The two of them returned to the south together."
"It's great! It's great! Finally... I finally hope to go back to the south! I hope to go back to the south! Hurry, pack your things quickly, and when the day comes, we will set off..."
After more than two years as a prisoner, Zhao Huan lived like a year. Once he had the hope of returning to the south, his withered heart began to grow wildly.
Seeing this, Lu Haowen and Zongze smiled and shook their heads, and then said goodbye to Zhao Huan. Since he already knew the news about Nan Gui, let him relax and have fun.
After the two left the mansion where Zhao Huan was under house arrest, they did not go to the post house to rest. Instead, they bypassed the city and came to the Gaoliang River, where they came to the place where the Song and Liao sides fought.
The smoke and flames of war are no longer here, and there are only a few sparse solitary graves standing in the fields, telling the story of the tragedy of the past.
Zongze sighed, "Well, I don't know how many warriors from our dynasty died on this land. It's a pity, it's a pity that after the fall of the Liao Kingdom, it actually returned to the Jin Kingdom."
After Lu Haowen heard this, he pondered for a moment and then replied, "Winning or losing a war is a common thing for military strategists. We have princesses in the Song Dynasty now, just like Jiang Shang in the Zhou Dynasty and Zhang Liang in the Han Dynasty. Now the soldiers and horses are strong, and the soldiers fight bravely. This disappears Under his leadership, the victory has been decided, and I believe that within a few years, Yanjing will return to the hands of the Han sooner or later."
Lu Haowen was convinced after hearing this, "Yes, if you said this two years ago, I would have never believed it, but this child Wanshu has given me so many surprises and surprises that I have to believe it." , she can indeed let me see the restoration of Yanjing before I die."
After sighing with emotion, the two returned to the post house and waited for news from the Jin Kingdom.
During this period, some officials from the Kingdom of Jin also came to test the two's attitudes. Seeing that both of them were very firm and had no intention of giving in, they gradually gave up the idea of continuing to test.
Finally at sunset on the third day, Wanyan Sheng sent someone to inform the two of them and handed the draft agreement text to Lu Haowen.
"Your Majesty agrees with the conditions proposed by the previous noble envoy, and is willing to enlarge the Song clan and ministers to return to the south. He also agrees to use Taiyuan, Xingzhou and Wei County as the boundaries between the two countries!"
After receiving a satisfactory answer, the two old men looked at each other and smiled. This trip had lived up to the princess's expectations.
