Chapter 409 The Great Jin Dynasty's Song King
"Therefore, Qin Hui secretly gathered a group of people to exclude other high-ranking officials. For example, he impeached Zhao Ding for forming cliques and engaging in corruption, and he also won over the censors and generals."
"Zhao Ding realized that the situation was unfavorable, so he resigned on the pretext of illness. As for the other ministers who advocated peace or war, he dealt with them one by one and then transferred them to other places far away from the central government."
"At this point, only Qin Hui remained in the peace negotiation team, and the Song court had truly become a domain of the surrender faction!"
"But Zhao Gou's temperament was fickle, which worried Qin Hui. So he said to Zhao Gou, 'If Your Majesty wants to make peace, then speak with one of my ministers.'"
"After that, Zhao Gu was given three more days to think it over before he was finally at ease and submitted his surrender and peace-seeking plan!"
Everyone in the Song Dynasty (swearing profusely): That little Jin Dynasty...! ? %... (cursing repeatedly)
General Judy: You idiot! Zhao Gou's brain is full of shit... Can't you tell right from wrong?!
Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty: Fourth Prince! That's too crude! And you call yourself the Emperor! If you ask me, Wanyan Gou and Qin Hui are nothing but dog shit; a dog can't live without eating shit!!
Zhu Zhanji of the Ming Dynasty: ?????…
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: Such humiliation, yet they could endure it and continue negotiations! The Song Dynasty was truly magnanimous!
A Han Dynasty official: What's the big deal? They don't even care about their own father and brothers, why would they care about this?
……
At this moment, the others in front of the screen thought: "These insults are really awful... but Zhao Gou deserves to be said those things!"
Even clay figures have some temper, let alone the rulers and ministers of a country!
Don't you feel ashamed and humiliated? How can your waist bend so easily?
Alright, it seems that apart from everyone else, these people aren't angry at all, and are shamelessly begging for peace!
The first few emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty also felt indignant; they never expected this guy to be so shameless!
Good, good, good! He really is Zhao Ji's son and Zhao Huan's brother. The inheritance is clear!
……
In the live broadcast room.
Lin Ke suddenly felt that all the humiliation and incompetence of the Song court in the past had swept over her again!
If she has high blood pressure, Emperors Huizong and Qinzong and Zhao Gou bear a large part of the responsibility!
She then continued, "The Jin state demanded that Zhao Gou submit to them, remove his yellow robe, don vassal clothes, kneel before the Jin envoy, and receive their edict."
"What Zhao Gou himself felt was not important; what was important was that the contents listed by the Jin envoy shocked the entire court and the public, and aroused public sentiment."
"People like Li Gang and Zhang Jun, who had been demoted, submitted memorials opposing the regime. There were even patriots who planned to kill Qin Hui. If their actions had succeeded, the Southern Song Dynasty would have taken a giant leap forward!"
"Even the common people of Lin'an at the time posted notices in the streets and alleys, saying that Qin Hui was a traitor. And they weren't wrong. With what he did in the second half of his life, Qin Hui was a good friend of the Jin Dynasty!!"
"Yang Yizhong and others also realized that things had gotten serious, so they went to Qin Hui to ask how to deal with it. However, Qin Hui was not the only culprit in this matter; Zhao Gou was also a culprit!"
"Among them, Hu Quan, a compiler in the Privy Council, directly confronted Zhao Gou, accusing him of being unyielding and treacherous... How could the people of the world accept this? They even offered a solution: kill Qin Hui, capture the Jurchens. How could they possibly survive in a small court!"
"Zhao Gou showed no remorse whatsoever in the face of the court officials' scathing remarks, after all, Wanyan Gou's name was not given lightly."
"Even Qin Hui, faced with such a situation, could pretend to submit a memorial to plead guilty, but Zhao Gou not only supported Qin Hui, but also sent Hu Quan to a post outside the capital, and other protesters were either demoted or dismissed from office."
"Zhao Gou, although he agreed to the Jin's demands, found kneeling too humiliating. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't bring himself to do it."
"To this, I can only say that from the moment he agreed to the Jin Kingdom's demands, you lost all face. Now you know the humiliation of kneeling! What were you doing before?!"
"So Zhao Gou came up with a compromise: sometimes the dead are more useful than the living. He used Emperor Huizong as an excuse to show that he was in mourning!"
"So they had Qin Hui perform the kneeling ceremony on his behalf. The Jin people were terrified by the soldiers and civilians of Lin'an and feared that some unrest might occur, so they agreed to the request."
"So on December 27th of that year, Qin Hui, in his capacity as prime minister, knelt at the feet of the Jin envoy on behalf of Emperor Gaozong of Song, Zhao Gou:"
The Southern Song Dynasty agreed to relinquish its Song Dynasty title, become a vassal state of the Jin Dynasty, and pay annual tribute, thus concluding the first peace treaty between the Southern Song and the Jin Dynasty.
Zhu Bajie of the Ming Dynasty: Oh my god... You still have any shame?! Is this what you call having any shame? You know kneeling is humiliating, but you can't even protect the name of your country. Are you two here to eat shit?!
Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty: Damn... This is the descendant of the Song Dynasty... This is something that makes us bystanders furious!
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: ...! ? ...You beast...I...not at all...%? ...
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: This thing is actually an emperor? Does he deserve it?! Even a pig could do a better job... Begging for peace with such a lack of dignity!
First Emperor: If I remember correctly, the Song court still had an army and fierce generals at that time. Why did they insist on peace talks, and even then, it was such a humiliating thing? It's hard to understand!
General Judy: As long as there is peace talks, these three men would probably do anything for him. What's kneeling? It's not like he's the one kneeling. The biggest villain is still Zhao Gou!
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty commented: "Apart from Qin Hui and Zhao Gou, everyone else disagreed and was willing to fight against the Jurchens. I really don't understand why they did it. Are they being fair to their ancestors?!"
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: He couldn't even protect the ancestral lands, speechless... He ruined the foundation established by his ancestors, and in such a humiliating way!
An official from the Sui Dynasty: I'm very curious, didn't he really suspect Qin Hui was a spy?! It seems both of them were spies! Otherwise, why would they treat their own people like this!
