Goryeo's New Year and the Great Song Dynasty were on the same day, and almost all dynasties associated with China took the Lunar New Year's Day in the Central Plains as the New Year's Day, but this year had a different feeling for Wang Hui, who had just succeeded to the throne.

There are only two people in the hall, he and Cui Chong, the governor of the palace, and now it is not a court meeting, and the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo are not as formal as the Great Song Dynasty, and they sit opposite each other in the side hall, narrowing the distance between the two.

Cui Chong, known as the Confucius of the East China Sea for his admiration of Confucianism, was the most favorable supporter of Wang Hui and the Song Dynasty. With a cup of tea, the two monarchs discussed the fate of the entire Goryeo Dynasty in the quiet Chongguang Palace.

"Cui participates in politics, the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty is already so obvious, what should I do next in Gaoli?"

Wang Hui looked at Cui Chong, who was smiling opposite, and raised his own questions, for him, the king who had just inherited the unification, the future of Goryeo was still confused, and he had a heart to revive Goryeo.

Cui Chong instead became a bamboo in his chest: "Now the Liao Dynasty is still the nominal suzerainty of Goryeo, if Goryeo is intimate with the Song people with great fanfare, it will cause the tension of this northern wolf, and the Great Song Emperor has a friendly attitude, let alone make him dissatisfied." ”

Cui Chong's words reached Wang Hui's heart, obviously this is a contradictory question, but it is inevitable.

Wang Hui sighed, there are no waiters in the palace, this tea party will soon cool down, wouldn't it be tyrannical? Pick up the tea on the table and drink it all.

"Yes! With the Liao Dynasty in the north and the Great Song Dynasty in the south, it is not easy for Goryeo to benefit from it. ”

Cui Chong said with a smile: "In fact, the current situation is already obvious, the Northern Khitan is weak and the Great Song Dynasty is strong, I Goryeo should be close to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Khitan can stop it, but the Khitan is surrounded by the side after all, and it should be cautious, and Tamna, Lingyan and other places, cut down mountains and trees, and build big ships, so as to resume contacts with the Song Dynasty." ”

"Tamna, Lingyan?" Wang Hui pondered for a while and nodded: "Well, although the two islands are in the Liaohai, the real owner is the Great Song Dynasty, and the opposite side is Dengzhou, which can be said to be close at hand. ”

Cui Chong nodded and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!" I Goryeo need the goods of the Great Song Dynasty, even Gewu, culture. The minister was willing to go to the Great Song Dynasty in person, seek Han culture for Goryeo, and return with Gewu, if the Great Song Emperor is really sincere, he will give other things. ”

Wang Hui was overjoyed: "So it's annoying to sir!" ”

Cui Chong shook his head and said: "Goryeo must rely on the Great Song Dynasty, because the current Great Song Dynasty also needs Goryeo, Your Majesty can see that there is another place to connect Liaodong and the Song Dynasty besides the sea?" Liaodong was highly valued by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he did not hesitate to immigrate hundreds of thousands of people to this place, is it just for the purpose of destroying Liao? The Song Dynasty far surpassed the Sui and Tang dynasties in Liaodong, the Heishui Governor's Mansion, and the establishment of the Heishui Army explained everything. ”

Wang Hui nodded and said: "It is indeed unprecedented, the Chinese Han family often treats Liaodong as a matter of attachment, and there has never been an emperor who is so concerned about Liaodong, comparable to the Northern Expedition." But what does this have to do with me? ”

Cui Chong stretched out his hand and dipped the tea on the solid wood tabletop while speaking: "Your Majesty, this is the Great Song Dynasty, this is Liaodong, this is the Liao Dynasty, this prominent piece is my Goryeo, if the Song people want to go to Liaodong, either by land, they must pass through the Liao Dynasty Zhongjing Road, and it is not feasible to get to Tokyo to this law!" ”

Wang Hui's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to draw on the table: "Now I can only make a detour from the Wa Kingdom to Liaodong, if I can borrow the road from my Goryeo, I will save most of the journey!" ”

Cui Chong nodded: "Your Majesty Shengming!" I, Goryeo, am a springboard for the Song Dynasty to Liaodong, and I, Goryeo, should seize this opportunity to persuade the Great Song Dynasty to borrow the way! In this way, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty must pass through Goryeo, and Kaijing is on it, and the important state capital is also on the front line, so it can prosper my Goryeo! ”

The two gentlemen and ministers smiled excitedly, and Wang Hui even issued a "Ah! A long sigh: "In this way, I Goryeo will definitely become the dependence of Song." After a pause, he said: "Mr. is highly recommended by the imperial brother when he is dying, and he can be called an assistant talent, please teach me!" ”

Cui Chong bowed: "It is only natural for the minister to serve the king!" His Majesty employs talents, his name is not fake to bandits, and his authority is not transferred to his nickname. Although relatives are relatives, those who have no merit are not rewarded; love of the left and right, and the guilty will be punished. Eunuchs, those who are cautious and young in their choices, are ready to be sprinkled and swept away. belongs to the inner servant, and must choose those who have merit and talent. The officials of the department, each do their best, redundant officials and simple things, the cost of saving and the wealth of the country, in order to make Taicang's Su, Chen Chen Xiangyin, the family to give people enough, Zhongxing Goryeo! ”

Wang Hui nodded: "Mr.'s words are the words of the world, I remember them." What should be the tribute to the Great Song Dynasty this time? ”

Cui Chong thought for a while and said: "The Song people have no shortage of treasures, and the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has read countless treasures in the world. ”

Wang Hui thought for a while and said, "Add a yew tree!" ”

Cui Chong smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, this tree is hard, corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, and it is a thousand-year-old immortal material." Objects made of yew wood have the unique fragrance of yew wood, and the texture is naturally ruddy, which is the best among woods. And drinking yew wood soaked water for a long time, as well as medicinal gout, clear heat and fire, dissolve blood stasis and stop bleeding, tribute and the Great Song Emperor must be the best choice! ”

………………………………

At the same time that the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo were planning how to satisfy the Great Song Dynasty, the protagonist of the gift, the Great Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, was also thinking about how to use Goryeo to achieve his own goals.

The signal he released to Goryeo was already very obvious, if Wang Hui really intended to make friends with the Great Song, he would definitely send envoys to come, and the Song's policy towards Goryeo should also be changed, and it could even rise to the level of a strategic ally.

In this way, the power of the peninsula of Goryeo was firmly tied to the body of the Great Song Dynasty, so that it was attached to the Great Song Dynasty, and only some famous people needed to be sent to Goryeo, and Wang Hui would inevitably absorb these famous people into the court as officials.

The Great Song Dynasty could also use these celebrities to bring the political and cultural culture of Goryeo into line with the Great Song Dynasty, so that even if they did not go to the Great Song Dynasty, Goryeo would become a permanent subsidiary of the Great Song Dynasty.

The crackling sound sounded, and it was transmitted into the Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Zhen knew that it must be Wang Yuyan's order to set up a cannon at the gate of the palace, and he didn't know where it came from.

At the beginning, it was still Sancai who took someone to try it out, and after being scolded by Zhao Zhen, not only did it not work, but Wang Yuyan, the mother of the country, also learned.

Sancai pushed open the door of the hall and whispered in Zhao Zhen's ear: "Official, the virtuous concubine asks to see you." ”

Zhao Zhen frowned and looked at Sancai: "Do you take my words as a deaf ear?" Except for the queen, no one from the harem concubines is allowed to come to this diligent palace! ”

Sancai swallowed his saliva with a grunt: "The slave can't stop it!" ”

"Send her back and tell her that the party members are different from the Jurchens, and now that they have been scattered all over the Great Song Dynasty, there is no possibility of forming an army of their own, and this matter must not be discussed!"

"Slave obeys!"
