In the main hall, Qinzong ordered the third prince of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan You. According to the arrangement of the Song court, Wanyan You only brought two guards to carry the letter of the country and took the envoy to the hall.

After entering the hall, Wanyan You saw that all the civil and military officials of the State of Song were stationed in two rows, and the Emperor Song sat high on the throne. Wanyan You was the third son of Wanyan Sheng. Although he was not born by the queen, he was also highly valued by Wanyan Sheng. When Wanyan You was young, he learned the Liao, Han, Mongolia, Goryeo and other languages. He was particularly familiar with the Han culture in the Central Plains. When he met the Emperor of Song, he also bowed deeply and said: "I am the third prince of the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. Today, on the order of my father, I will come to visit His Majesty the Emperor of Song. I am willing to stop the war and truce with Song and form a permanent alliance."

Seeing that the three princes were good-looking and polite, all of them secretly praised them. Qin Zong said, "It turned out to be the prince of the Jin Kingdom, and he was indeed not bad-hearted." He asked again, "Your father and father repeatedly offended my country and occupied many cities in the Song Dynasty. Why do you have to repair it with us today? When the Liao King went south in the previous period, I signed a contract with you and only ceded the land of Yanshan. Why do you still have many troops left in my Hebei and Shanxi? Today I came to discuss peace again, which is clearly a fraud!"

After hearing this, Wanyan You smiled and said, "There is something wrong with Your Majesty's words. When the King of Liao went south in the previous period, Your Majesty promised to pay tribute to our Jin Dynasty every year, but why did the envoys who congratulated this year go there for a long time? Furthermore, when signing the alliance, Your Majesty once said in the letter of state that he would be friendly with our Jin Dynasty for generations and no longer meet with weapons, but why did he secretly send generals such as Zongze, Zhong Shidao and others to go north and take advantage of the war with the Mongols to attack Taiyuan, Cizhou and other places? In this way, His Majesty violated the alliance before, why did we blame us for not being trustworthy?"

"this……"

One day, the monarch and ministers were speechless by the young Jin prince. Liu Anguo secretly said, "What the third prince of the Jin king is so clever and irrational." So he went out to speak, "What the third prince said is a bad thing. This tribute ceremony was a friendly exchange between the two countries when there was no war. Now you have hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside our country, and there is no sign of quitting. Let's go to pay tribute to you again. Wouldn't you feed the jackals and the robbers with axes? Besides, our lord signed an alliance with you in the previous period and only ceded Yanshan County. The Taiyuan, Hejian, Zhongshan, and Bingzhou counties are still my territory of the Song Dynasty. What's wrong with my Song army regaining my Song Dynasty? You are so irrational and mocking my family's saints, where are they here to discuss peace, it is clearly to provoke!"

The third prince of the Jin Kingdom saw such an old minister of the Song Kingdom being cold-hearted. He was sure that he was the iron-faced prime minister Liu Anguo, so he spoke, "This must be the Prime Minister Liu, right?"

"It's me." Liu Anguo replied sternly.

Seeing that there was such a straightforward old minister by the Emperor of Song, the third prince did not attack for a moment and said to Qinzong: "The little king was offended just now, so I would like to forgive him. Today, Xiao Wang came here and really wanted to make peace with the Song Dynasty. I hope Your Majesty will fulfill the covenant that day and prepare the gold, silver, gold and silk items to be tributed. As long as the Song Dynasty can pay tribute to us in accordance with the covenant, we will withdraw the troops left in the Song Dynasty and will not invade again."

After hearing this, Liu Anguo understood the intention of the Jin people to negotiate peace. It turned out that they were here to ask for tributes. The Jin people fought a big battle in the north and consumed a lot of money and food. This time, they suddenly came to negotiate peace to ask for gold, silver and money from the Song State. These hateful Jin people were really shameless and bullied too much.

Liu Anguo went out to work and reported to Qinzong: "Sage, the Jin people are really too bullying. They occupy our land and blackmail our money. They must not agree to their request!"

The Grand Tutor Zhu Fan also came out and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that since the Jin Kingdom is willing to make good use of our Song Dynasty, it should turn war into jade and silk. This tribute has been promised to the Jin people, so naturally we must keep our promises."

Seeing that the two ministers were about to quarrel again, Qin Zong was afraid that the Jin people would be laughed at for a moment, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, whether to fight or reconcile, and we have to make a long-term plan. Don't discuss it today!" He said to Master Zhu again, "Old Master, the prince of the Jin Kingdom has come from afar, so arrange them to rest in the inn first. After we have finished discussing, we will reply with them and leave the court!"

Seeing that Qin Zong was about to retreat to the court, Zhu Fan had no choice but to receive the imperial edict and took the prince of the Jin Kingdom and his group to the inn to rest.

When Liu Yixuan saw that all the officials had dispersed, he hurried to ask his father. Liu Anguo told Liu Yixuan what the Jin people said. After hearing this, Liu Yixuan sneered: "These Jin people are really insidious. After they have no money in the war, they come to ask us for it. When we send the gold and silver and fatten them one by one, they can attack us. This is shameless in the hope of fighting! Father, we must not let the emperor agree to the Jin people's request. I dare to assert that the day when we pay tribute to the Jin people is when they raise an army to destroy the Song Dynasty."

"What my son said is reasonable, and the father also thinks the same way. Even if I sacrifice my life, I will never let the emperor agree to pay tribute to them!" After that, he went to the office of the Secretariat Province, intending to write a memorial to Emperor Qinzong.

Another day was the seventh day of the ninth lunar month. According to the imperial edict of Qinzong that day, he wanted to behead the rebel general Guo Yaoshi at Xishikou to show the public. In order to kill a warning to him, Qinzong asked many officials in Beijing to go to the execution ground to watch. Liu Yixuan originally wanted to go and watch the fun, but when he thought of the bloody scene of his head falling to the ground, he was afraid that he would not be able to stand it for the time being, so he stayed in Shanglinyuan to drink tea and read books.

The promotion asked, "Young Master, then Guo Yaoshi will be killed today. Why don't you go and see it?"

Liu Yixuan put down a copy of Ouyang Xiu's collection of works and said, "What's so good about it? Although Guo Yaoshi is a traitor, if he thinks about it carefully, there are no choices. If the Song Dynasty is really strong, who would be willing to work for the Jin people? Besides, Guo Yaoshi was earned by me with a trick. He would definitely hate me to the core. If he becomes a ghost and seeks life from me, that would be bad." He sighed, "It's easy to kill a Guo Yaoshi, but it would be difficult to make the subjects of the Song Dynasty share the same hatred and resist the invasion of the Jin people together!"

While the two were talking, they saw the prince-in-law Qin Shun walking in. When Qin Shun saw Liu Yixuan hiding in the house and enjoying leisure, he smiled and said, "Hehe, Mr. Liu is so elegant. You won't go and see the city is so lively?"

Liu Yixuan stood up and smiled and said, "Well, this is not so lively. The prince-in-law doesn't know. When I was on the front line of Cizhou, I would see this scene of the knife falling every day, and it was no longer new."

"Is that so? Oh, it's someone who has been on the battlefield! By the way, how did you catch this Yaoshi Guo? Didn't it take a lot of effort?" Qin Shun asked.
