"Wulinda, how dare you bring such conditions back to Yanjing?!"

After changing five horses, it took Wulindazanmo just over two days to travel a distance of 300 miles to reach Yanjing. In the Shangshutai Hall filled with Jin Dynasty dignitaries, when he tried his best to explain the newly added conditions and time limits of a certain official, he was immediately greeted with a condescending roar.

The person who yelled at him was an old official of the royal family, Wanyan Talan, who was designated by Emperor Zhao as the ruling prince together with the Sixth Prince Eluguan.

Or, it could be said that it was because he was Wanyan Talan that he had no choice but to yell like that.

However, after Talai finished yelling, everyone just looked at each other coldly without saying a word in agreement, and Wulinda Zanmo was so tired that he didn't bother to pay any attention.

"Minister Wulinda, please take a break." After a while, the eldest prince Wanyan Oben, who was designated to die, broke the awkward silence with a dark face. "You have worked hard on the journey."

"yes."

The exhausted Wulinda Zanmo bowed with all his strength, turned back to his seat and slumped down. Then, at the signal of another ruling prince, Wuzhu, an attendant immediately served him tea and steamed cakes, and Wulinda had no scruples and ate a few bites right there in his seat.

"Uncle, take a break too." Wanyan Oben saw Wulinda Zanmo sitting down, and turned to look at Wanyan Talan who was already extremely embarrassed. "No one here suspects you..."

Talan could only cover his face and return to his seat.

However, this small relief did not help the overall situation at all. Everyone sat down and began to carefully consider the conditions of the Zhao Song officials, but they were really powerless.

"I definitely can't agree to that."

In the silence, Wanyan Xiyin suddenly spoke up. Only he could let go of his composure and have a fair discussion. "Why do we ask for peace? Isn't it just to preserve something? The heads of the ruling prince, the children of the core aristocratic families, and the generals of the army were chopped off and sent to the enemy country, and the king called the emperor of the enemy country his father... Even if there is still a Jin country, it is another country... Why ask for peace?"

"I think what Mr. Xi Yin said is very good."

Prime Minister Qin Hui suddenly interrupted. "Since we have come to this point today, let's make it clear... What is the situation of the Great Jin Kingdom? It was Taizu, Taizong, the princes, and the kings who were all of the same lineage, with the royal Wanyan tribe as the leader and the Jurchen ethnic group as the main body of the army to build a core... Then the Yanyun Han people, us Han people who came from the south, Bohai people, Goryeo people, surrendered Khitan people and Xi people, everyone revolved around the core branches of the Wanyan clan and the Jurchen nation, either above or below, or supporting or relying on, each doing their own job, forming a whole, and then we had the great country of thousands of miles before... In the final analysis, it is not impossible to negotiate peace, but we must first figure out whose Great Jin Kingdom this is?! Isn't it the Great Jin Kingdom of the Wanyan clan and the Jurchen ethnic group?!"

Hearing this, everyone present nodded... After all, this is the truth, and everyone, whether they are civil or military, Han or Xi, knows it very well. But they have to admit that if they really analyze it carefully, the two gentlemen said it more clearly and directly.

Whose was the Great Jin Dynasty? Wasn't it the Wanyan family and the Jurchens? Now, two of the three leaders of the Wanyan family died, the one who had just come of age became a son, and the main remaining generals of the Jurchens also died. Then the Great Jin Dynasty was no different from being destroyed.

"I've said it before, Emperor Zhao probably has no sincerity in negotiating peace." Hong Ya glanced at the silent Sixth Prince Erluguan and continued speaking. "It's just a strategy to sow discord... There's no need to go again."

Everyone agreed more and more.

"You are right, but if we don't negotiate peace, where is the way out?" But at this moment, Wuzhu, who had been sentenced to death more than 40 days ago, suddenly bowed his head and spoke, causing the noise in the room to stop immediately. "The foundation of the country, the foundation of the country, Wanyan and Jurchen are of course the foundation of the country, but Wanyan is also divided into the Wanyan clan and the Wanyan tribe, and the Jurchen also has the Jurchen army and the Jurchen people... I am a defeated man, a sinner who destroyed the foundation of the country in a battle, I should not say more, and I don't want to say more... Today I only have one thing to say, if the country needs my life, you can take it at any time, don't have any scruples."

Having said that, Wuzhu struggled to get up, bowed slightly to the young king who had not said anything, his own nephew, and then, without communicating with anyone else, he limped out of the Shangshutai Hall where he had reached the peak of his power.

Most people remained silent from beginning to end, and the young king, who was already 18 years old this year, wanted to stand up and say something, but ultimately remained silent.

Everyone just watched as His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei walked out of the hall alone.

This is not to say that everyone is cold-blooded. On the contrary, the coldest-blooded person is undoubtedly Wuzhu himself... Because when everyone was still having to deceive themselves and others because of their own positions, the King of Wei directly exposed everyone's true colors.

After Wuzhu left, everyone was depressed and didn't know what to do. They could only agree to make the final decision early tomorrow morning and then go their separate ways.

Everyone left, and Hong Ya went to see Qin Hui as a matter of course... At this time, the city of Yanjing had become a city on a bomb, and the fuse had been lit... There was no need to take care of anything.

"What do you think?"

After entering the Qin Mansion and going to the backyard, Hong Ya was furious as soon as he entered the house. "Today, I threatened others on behalf of the eldest prince in the palace... At this point, it is better to be a long-term husband in a vassal state thousands of miles away than to go back, right?! After all, we are surrendered people. After we go back, if we offend anyone, a county magistrate can deal with us!"
