On the day Han Yanxuan was killed, Qian Xiangzu, the governor of the government, used the provincial document to convey the news to the Henan Province of Jinguo. Only a month later, the Southern Song Dynasty successively revoked the Zhaofu Division of Jingdong Road and the Zhaofu Division of Jingbei Road in Shandong, and sent a message to Jin that they did not want to fight again. Qiu Wei, who was deposed by the Yanzhou, was appointed ambassador of the Jianghuai system. Before the coup, Wang Zheng, the envoy sent by the Southern Song Dynasty to the southern province of Jinhe, was the grandson of Wang Lun, the envoy of the Shaoxing Council and the Song Dynasty, and he continued to undertake the mission of negotiation and negotiation.
After arriving at the Jin camp, Wang Zheng was unable to meet the marshal of the Jin State directly. At this time, Zong Hao, the marshal of Jinxing Province, had died of illness, and was succeeded by Wan Yan Kuang, the deputy marshal of the left. When General Jin asked him when he was receiving him, "How many years has it been since Han Yanxuan was a noble?" Wang Zheng said: "It's been more than ten years. However, it has only been two years since the military affairs of Pingzhang. He also asked, "Why did the Southern Dynasty trust him so much?" I wonder who he is? Wang Zheng replied: "He is the closest relative of the Empress Dowager Wu after Han Qi." Then he was called loyal and virtuous. Several Jin generals looked at each other teasingly and smiled, and then asked Yan Tianpet to take out the provincial notes sent by Qian Xiangzu, and said slowly: "According to your words, why did the Southern Dynasty still kill him?" Only then did Wang Zheng know that he had been executed, and he was speechless in embarrassment. The province did not send the envoy, but sent it to the enemy country first, which made him very passive and embarrassed, not to mention that the peace letter he carried was still sent in the name of the emperor. Wanyan Tianzhong said: "Although Wang Zheng holds a letter from the Emperor, he was sent by the Southern Dynasty to negotiate peace, so he should discuss and report it in detail. This diplomatic setback made it difficult for Wang Zheng to obtain the unreasonable demands of the Jin State, "I dare not compare, and everything is allowed to get out."
In armistice negotiations, the two sides have diplomatic flaws, and if they can break their premeditation, it is easier to negotiate peace, and it is difficult to inspire their arrogance and beg for peace. After Jin Zhangzong received the notification of the Southern Song Dynasty's punishment of Han, he saw the weakness of the other party, so he ordered Yan Kuang to transfer the letter to the Southern Song Dynasty to govern, reiterating the five conditions of the peace proposal, and emphasizing that the land of Huainan must be redeemed with the head of Han Yanxuan, and the military money should be changed to 3 million taels of silver. In order to enhance the bargaining capital, at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the southern province of Jinhe sent troops to capture Suizhou in the Southern Song Dynasty (now Suixian, Hubei), and the Xuanfu Division of Jinshaanxi was also ready to send an additional 10,000 soldiers to the Sichuan-Shaanxi Pass that had captured and originally belonged to the Southern Song Dynasty.
In the first month of the first year of Jiading (1208), Wang Zheng returned to Lin'an and conveyed the request of Jin Guohan to be sent to the first level. A few days ago, Ye Shi, the right counselor, and Shi Huang Chouruo, the palace attendant, said twice that the head of the man be cut off and placed between the two Huai corpse mounds to thank the world. Ning Zong replied with "act cautiously" for the first time, and criticized the second time: "I don't want to be disobedient", but he didn't agree. After Wang Zheng returned to the court, Ye Shi and others repeated the same invitation again. Only three days after Wang Zheng's reinstatement, the emperor ordered the three provinces and the Privy Council to discuss in detail. The results of this detailed discussion are not well documented in historical records. Judging from the composition of the members of the ruling committee at that time, the right minister Qian Xiangzu, the ruling Wei Jing, Shi Miyuan, Lei Xiaoyou, and Lin Dazhong were all inclined to the head of the letter. But Ning Zong still didn't order the letter, he was still cautious.
A week after the first detailed discussion, the Southern Song Dynasty sent Xu Yi as the envoy of the Jin State to thank him, and Wang Zheng as the staff officer of the Tong Xie Institute to make the Jin State again. After arriving in Haozhou, Xu Yi was prevented from staying in place and waiting, and only Wang Zheng was allowed to go to Henan Province to negotiate peace. He sent Qian Xiangzu's reply to Wan Yan Kuang:
The southeast is a country, Wu and Shu depend on each other, and now Sichuan and Shaanxi Passes, if there is a big country, it is the gateway to withdraw Shu, and Shu cannot be protected, so how can Wu be solidified? If the great power finally benefits the Sichuan and Shaanxi Passes, the two silver draws will be prepared, and the first letter of Shi Dan will also be transmitted.
The reply only agreed to change the money for the army to silver, and did not let go of the first matter of the letter. At this time, the Xuanfu Division of Jin Shaanxi resolutely demanded to Jin Zhangzong: The Sichuan-Shaanxi Pass that had been taken could not be returned. Wang Zheng was puzzled by the asking price of Jinfang, and told Wanyan Kuang: As long as the Sichuan-Shaanxi Pass is returned, he can return to the court to write a letter to the first item. Wan Yan Kuang believed that the Southern Song Dynasty did have peace and sincerity, so he analyzed Zhang Zong: The Sichuan-Shaanxi Pass is vital to the lives of the Song Dynasty, and if it is not returned, it will inevitably be fought by both sides, and there will be no peace for a day. Zhang Zong then sent an edict to Yan Kuang: As long as the letter is sent to the head of the emperor, the Shaanxi Pass can be returned. Wan Yan Kuang then sent a letter to the Southern Song Dynasty again, asking Wang Zheng to return to the dynasty to convey it.
Wang Zheng returned to the court on 20 March to report on his work. The day before, Shi Miyuan Group braved the world's condemnation and openly restored the title and gift for Qin Hui. This move, in Shi Miyuan, may be to show that he is working against Han Yanxuan, but it also shows the enemy country and the people that he is the defender and heir of Qin Hui's line. Wang Zheng conveyed the peace conditions of the Jin State, that is, only the first letter of the Emperor could be exchanged for the land of Huainan and Shaanxi lost in the Northern Expedition of Kaixi. At this point, Ning Zong had to make a choice: either begging for peace, or resolutely refusing and making another attempt. He still left this difficult question to the so-called public opinion to adjudicate. The day after Wang Zheng's reinstatement, the emperor issued an edict to his attendants, officials from the two provinces, and Taiwan to go to the capital to hold a meeting, and the next day to report the conclusion. In the Song Dynasty, the form of assembly was often used when discussing major state affairs.
The assembly took place in the midst of quarrels and shouting. Zhang Liangneng of the Straight Academy first said: "The head has been killed, what a pity! "Wang Jie, the official of the Zuo Lang and the prince of the prince**: The head of the court, it is true that it is not a pity, but it is a pity for the national body! Zhang Liangneng sneered: "I'm afraid you're still sorry for the head of the nephew!" "The secretary of the ministry and the scholar of the Hanlin Chamberlain, the secretary of the Privy Council, Lin Dazhong, the secretary of the Privy Council, and the secretary of the military department, Ni Si, all advocated the first letter. Although Taichang Shaoqing Huang Du was ostracized by the courtiers, he still thought that the letter was humiliating to the country. Lou Jian and the others actually said: "It is better to humiliate the country than to lose the country!" Ni Si shouted loudly: "You have a stinky head, why should the princes fight so hard!" He also threatened: "Does anyone who has received the favor of a man in the court want to speak for him?" In the midst of a noisy opposition, Wang Jie, Huang Du and others were besieged.
The next day, the report concluded: "If the important matter of peace is decided here, what is the pity of the head of the murderer who has been killed." Song Ningzong was forced by the so-called public opinion, and once again gave up his original intention unprincipledly, and issued an edict to follow. Only two days after the assembly, the imperial court issued a yellow list to Lin'an Mansion and the Song and Jin warring territories such as Lianghuai, Jingxiang, and Sichuan, and sent a letter of congratulations; The next day, he notified the other roads to pacify the Division. Two days later, the Lin'an Prefecture sent someone to dig up the coffin of the Han family from the ancestors of the Han family in Baoci Temple, and sent the head to the Jianghuai Ambassador's Department.
In mid-April, Wang Zheng arrived in Jinhenan Province with the draft of Ning Zong's oath and Qian Xiangzu's reply, and informed Wan Yan Kuang of the news that Yan Zhou had been killed. Qian Xiangzu's reply informed that the Song envoy had set off with gifts, coins, etc., and only waited for the Jin State to approve the peace, that is, to arrive at the border handover, so he hoped that the Jin Emperor would "draw a holy decree, first give the border and Shaanxi belonging, and wait for the head of the Song Dynasty to go to the boundary, even if the military horses are withdrawn, and return the boundary of Huainan and Sichuan-Shaanxi Pass." When Zhang Zong received the report, he issued an edict to Yan Kuang: "His nephews, Shi Dan's first letter and all the rebellions to Haozhou, that is, they heard through Xie to make people enter the border, and the military horses should be withdrawn; Sichuan-Shaanxi Pass is a year-old coin, and the army is silvered to Xia Cai (now Fengtai, Anhui), and it is cut back on a day. Wan Yan Kuang informed Wang Zheng of the content of the edict and ordered it to be carried out.
In late April, the Southern Song Dynasty sent the first letter of Han Yanzhou and Su Shidan to the Marshal's Mansion in Jinhe Nanxing Province. On 9 May, Jin Zhangzong sent officials to inform Heaven and Earth, Taimiao, and Sheji of Song Ting's first request for peace, and the prince and ministers all congratulated him. On this day, the Jin Dynasty held a solemn ceremony to present and receive the first letter to celebrate another victory in the war against the Song. Zhang Zong ascended to the Yingtianmen Gate in the capital, and Wanyan Kuang sent the general Su Shi Liezhen to the city tower to present the first letter of Han Yanxuan and Su Shidan, as well as the marshal's mansion Lubu. Emperor Jin ordered the two first letters to be sacrificed to Taimiao and Sheji, and issued to the cloth at home and abroad. At the end of the ceremony, the two heads were hung on the flagpole for public display, accompanied by portraits of the two men, for the people to see, and finally painted with lacquer and hidden in the armory.
Soon, after Yan Kuang returned to the court, Jin revoked the province of Henan. On June 5, Xu Yi, the envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty, brought the oath of the Song Emperor to Jin Zhangzong. In the following three months, there was a series of diplomatic exchanges between the two sides around the peace talks: Jin Zhangzong told the world that Song agreed to sue for peace, and then sent Yan Kan as an envoy to Lin'an with the oath of Emperor Jin to meet Song Ningzong. On September 12, Song reached an edict with peace to the world. At this point, the Jiading Peace Conference was formally established, and the main terms are:
1. The titles of Emperor Song and Emperor Jin were changed from nephew to nephew; 2. The Song Zhijin New Year's coin was increased from 200,000 taels to 300,000 taels, and 3 million taels of silver were paid;
3. The Song-Jin territory maintained its pre-war status quo;
Fourth, Song sent a letter to Jin to Han Yanxuan and Su Shidan's head. Although the peace negotiation avoided the embarrassment of claiming to be a vassal and ceding land, it was a big step backward from the Longxing peace agreement in terms of the relationship between the two sides and the amount of annual coins, and the begging for peace was a great shame for the Southern Song Dynasty.
