Chapter 1238 King of Goryeo

There will always be some absurd but touching things in the world, such as the Great Song Dynasty rescuing the Khitans of the Liao Dynasty and finally allowing them to return to their homeland, and the Liao Dynasty actually wishful thinking of asking the Great Song for pox.

But the most impossible thing happened, even the Liao people felt ridiculous, the Great Song Dynasty actually gave the cowpox to the Liao Dynasty, and compiled the experience into a book, and gave the Liao Dynasty a complete and meticulous gift, plus fifty pox cows............

When Yeluja returned to the capital of the Liao Dynasty with these fifty cows and precious books, he was almost received like a hero, and the excitement and enthusiasm of the crowd were comparable to that of a king's triumphant return.

They not only came to thank Yelujia for his efforts, but also to express a kind of respect for the Great Song Dynasty, although they were enemies, they made such a generous righteous act, not to mention ordinary people, even Zhang Jian, Xiao Hui, and even the Queen Mother Xiao Tzuli were all moved.

For a time, the reputation of the Great Song Dynasty was in full swing, which made many Liao people quite emotional, but in contrast, the current Great Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji seems so immature, and even gives people a feeling that they cannot be compared with the Great Song Emperor.

There is a gap in age, but Zhao Zhen was much stronger than Yelu Hongji at this age, and when he was still the prince, he pacified Zhao Yuanyan's rebellion, and then almost all the way through thorns and thorns, cut the army, opened Lingnan, and destroyed Dali.

Isn't such an emperor a star in the sky?!

Those who are different from ordinary people are called gods and ghosts in the world! The people of the Liao Dynasty were more simple and ignorant than the Great Song Dynasty, which depended on the temperament of the Liao people, who herded horses on the grassland all the year round, and were originally generous and heroic people, and were very hostile to the Han people, but if someone was really good to them, at least let them feel that they were being good to them, and they would not hesitate to identify you as a friend.

And this selfless move of Zhao Zhen and the Great Song Dynasty won the hearts of many Khitan people, and also made the Han people of the Liao Dynasty raise their heads, see no, my Han emperor is still so generous, so generous, even in the face of the Liao Dynasty can be so selfless.

However, Zhao Zhen's purpose in doing this is also the same, to reflect the tallness of the Great Song Dynasty, to make the world respect the Great Song Dynasty, and to respect the Great Song Dynasty as the upper country, but also to let the Liao Dynasty have an impact on the country, which has good and bad aspects.

Of course, not only the Liao Dynasty, Zhao Zhen also gave cowpox to the Jurchens and Goryeo, if you want to eradicate smallpox, the best way is to vaccinate on a large scale, and vaccination in the Great Song Dynasty alone can be prevented, but it cannot make smallpox disappear completely.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen hoped that through the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, smallpox would disappear throughout Asia, the Great Song Dynasty would not have smallpox, the Liao Dynasty would not have smallpox, Goryeo and Jurchen would not have smallpox, and the Wa Kingdom would also not have it, so wouldn't there be no possibility of a large-scale outbreak of smallpox?

Just when Zhao Zhen was complacent about his selfless deeds, the envoys of Goryeo came to the Great Song Dynasty again, but he not only thanked the Great Song Dynasty for giving the cowpox method to prevent and treat the pox epidemic, but also came to the Great Song Dynasty and sent an obituary to Zhao Zhen, the tenth monarch of the Goryeo Dynasty, Wang Hengxu and the Chongguang Hall of Kaijing.

This news came very suddenly, so that Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned after listening to the messenger's report just now, Wang Heng is dead? This Wang Heng, who had a tough attitude towards the Liao Dynasty and was actively defensive, actually died.

The Zichen Hall fell into silence, and the envoy quietly looked up to see Zhao Zhen's stunned eyes and a trace of sadness, thinking that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was sad about the death of the king, where did he know that for the current Great Song Dynasty, Wang Heng, the seemingly unimportant king of Goryeo, has a high value.

The main reason is Wang Heng's attitude towards the Liao Dynasty, which was repaired on the surface, but in fact, he secretly took all kinds of precautions, and he almost launched an armed attack on the border people, but the more this is the case, the more beneficial it is to the Great Song Dynasty, and the more beneficial it is to Liaodong.

Although there was a local war with the Great Song Dynasty, it was not the will of the entire court of the Goryeo Dynasty, but a misunderstanding caused by the stupidity of the two fools.

Naturally, it is impossible for Goryeo to fight with the two "superpowers" at the same time, and while the Liao Dynasty is tense, it is natural to "live in harmony" with the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Heng is a very strategic person, he sees farther than everyone in Goryeo, and believes that the Great Song Dynasty will definitely surpass the Liao Dynasty in the near future and become the largest and strongest country.

Fighting with the Great Song Dynasty is seeking its own death, and the Great Song Dynasty is the orthodox continuation of China, and the relationship between the Chinese Dynasty and the land of Goryeo is extremely delicate.

Now that Wang Heng is dead, can this attitude and strategy continue in Goryeo? This is what worries Zhao Zhen.

Took a copy of Wang Heng's edict from Sancai's hand, Zhao Zhen opened it gently, although the handwriting on it was not Wang Heng's, but it had been quite good for a long time, seeing the name at the beginning, Zhao Zhen frowned, and then said to Sancai: "You come to read." ”

Sancai bowed down and took it: "The slave obeys the order." ”

"I inherited the last life of the ancestors, and the Pitu of the heirs of the saints, two out of ten years, relying on the rest of the sky, and the country is safe. Since the spring and summer, the worries and refreshments have been peaceful, and the medicine stone is ineffective, so it has gradually become a great thing, and I want to return to it with an artifact. The internal history of the Lingle Lang Junhui, my love brother, benevolence, filial piety and frugality, heard in neighboring countries, it is advisable to pass on the great treasure, in order to show Gengguang. ”

Sancai finished reading with a cold face, in his opinion, the lord of Goryeo is the system of princes, at most he is commensurate with a widow, and now he actually calls himself me, isn't it arrogance? What's more, the Goryeo people knew that this was going to be the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and they were still so unscrupulous?

But Zhao Zhen understands that this is a temptation, carefully testing the attitude of the Great Song towards Goryeo, if the Great Song and Goryeo really have a good relationship, they will not be angry because of this "little thing", and vice versa.

Zhao Zhen suddenly remembered the Lelang Junhui mentioned in Wang Heng's edict, he is Wang Heng's younger brother, although he is not a mother's sibling, but it is not much different, his mother Queen Yuanhui is the sister of Wang Heng's biological mother Queen Yuancheng, which is much closer than the general half-father, otherwise it would not be his Wang Hui.

Under the attention of the Goryeo envoy, Zhao Zhen picked up this national letter with a unique meaning and put it on the imperial case in front of him, and then said: "This is to ask me for the temple number, right?" When I heard that Wang Jun had passed away, I couldn't bear it, but the country can't be left without an owner for a day, so my younger brother Wang Hui is the best choice! ”

Zhao Zhen's words reassured the envoy, this is to affirm the first king, needless to say that the temple number should be given below, the name is coming, before coming, the king said that these two things must be given by the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, so that Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty can be tied together.

This is really a request that there is no way to refuse, the head of a country is dead, and he doesn't even have a temple number or a nickname, and Baba's letter of delivery and obituary come, can you refuse?
