Chapter 1011: The Heart of the Messenger
There was a sound of needles falling in the hall, this is the Zhengshuo Dynasty meeting of the Great Song Dynasty, the specifications are naturally not ordinary, Jin Shenquan has been hit by a series of reprimands from Zhao Zhen, and it is just a verbal reprimand, but Jin Shenquan knows that this time the words of the Great Song Emperor will never be a little false.
Before the Great Song Dynasty's concubine Cai Boyu had led 20,000 Song soldiers to break through the Jinju Stone City, 20,000 Goryeo soldiers were not opponents, the scene can be described as miserable, it is said that all the officials and clan chiefs who supported the resistance to the Song army in Jinzhou City were beheaded to show the public.
The heads of these people have been hanging on the stone city for more than half a month, even if the Song people leave, no one dares to take down these stinky heads, who knows if the Great Song army will come back?
Jin Shenquan, who was supported by the inner servant and was about to take it down, suddenly broke free from the inner attendant and threw himself forward, causing the imperial front class to take the straight knife out of the sheath, and Jin Shenquan under the sword light became calm and calm.
"Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, although I am the "outer king and inner emperor" of Goryeo, but I have never had a bad relationship with the Great Song Dynasty, even if I broke off diplomatic relations with the Song Dynasty, I was forced to threaten by the Liao Dynasty, and now the minister led the Goryeo mission, not far away, just to let Your Majesty see the heart of my Goryeo king!
Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty are facing each other across the sea, and they should have been friendly for generations, but I have constant friction between Goryeo and the Khitan, and the first king is at odds with the Khitan, so that my Goryeo has repeatedly suffered from the Khitan conquests, and now the king intends to reconcile with the Khitan, and also restore the tributary vassals with the Great Song Dynasty, this is the heart of my king's fist, I hope Your Majesty is compassionate! ”
Jin Shenquan's words made it difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to refuse, and even more difficult for Zhao Zhen to refuse.
After Jin Shenquan finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Zhen, his eyes were burning, and he was trying his best to make a last stand.
Because he can only succeed and not fail, before coming, the emperor discussed with the two prefectures of Zaishu, and he was among them, and finally came to the conclusion that he must reconcile with the Great Song Dynasty, and even did not hesitate to bear the guilt in the name of Goryeo.
This is the first time since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo friction, and even swords and soldiers, but the result is so devastating, the land of a state is not an opponent at all, I heard that the reinforcements of the nearby state capital did not dare to move forward an inch, until the official document of the imperial court was issued, it was embarrassing to go, and finally was scared away by the tragic situation of the stone city.
Now he is standing in the palace of the Great Song Dynasty, and the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is in front of him, he is just asking, or standing on the side of the truth, who knows that the Great Song Emperor revealed the secret of Goryeo, in fact, this is not a secret, everyone knows it, and the things that everyone recognizes in the world have been ruthlessly exposed by the Great Song Emperor.
It's just a matter of pretending not to know, but now that I say it, coupled with the fact that Cai Boyu's experience is still there, Jin Shenquan is really worried that the Great Song Dynasty will send troops to attack Goryeo, just like the Sui and Tang dynasties attacked Goguryeo.
There is a saying among the current high-level of Goryeo that all the dynasties targeted by the Great Song Dynasty will have the disaster of swords and soldiers, and there will be the danger of ruining lives.
And the powerful Liao Dynasty was dug up by the Great Song Dynasty to dig up a piece of the fattest flesh, and the land of Yanyun changed hands in the blink of an eye, not to mention the Western Xia, which was dominant in the northwest for a while, this Western Xia was an opponent that even the Liao Dynasty could not do, but it fell apart in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and finally the country was destroyed.
Jin Shenquan swallowed dryly, he didn't think that Goryeo had the strength comparable to Western Xia, nor did he think that he could compete with the Liao Dynasty, and the Great Song in front of him was like a giant, needless to say.
Before coming, the king had already given himself an explanation, first tough and then soft, but he just showed a little tough attitude, and was pressed to the ground by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and now there is no other way but to be soft.
No one knows the current situation of Goryeo better than Jin Shenquan, on the one hand, he wants to reconcile with the Liao Dynasty, the king originally planned to recuperate and restore his national strength, but he can still survive in this troubled era, and now the wave of the Song Dynasty's sleeves has made the land of Goryeo a state wiped out, how can he not be frightened?
Zhao Zhen can see it clearly, now this Jin Shenquan is really frightened, and it also exposes the bottom line of Gaoli, Zhao Zhen didn't plan to use troops in Gaoli, just now he just created a momentum and let the world misunderstand Cai Boyu's trip.
Now that the goal has been achieved, I will not continue to be tough, and I will go down the "steps" given by Jin Shenquan: "Since you Gaoli has the heart to call the minister and pay tribute, I will no longer be embarrassed, but the lessons of the past are still there, I hope that Er'an will keep his duty, and go to the side hall to wait for me to resign the dynasty before announcing your summons!" ”
Unexpectedly, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty changed his mouth, and Jin Shenquan was overjoyed, and then bowed again: "The foreign minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's will!" ”
The courtiers could naturally see that this was the official family's reluctance to officially tear their faces with Goryeo, and many people showed expressions of appreciation.
Once there is not much friction between the monarch and the minister, the emperor's policy and the courtier's decree will be passed more quickly and effectively implemented, which Zhao Zhen feels the most.
The so-called Great Song Dynasty side hall is actually a side room, which is a place for courtiers or courtiers who stay to perform affairs to rest and change clothes temporarily, naturally not so high in specifications, but the privacy is also good.
Including the envoys, the Goryeo envoys were among them, and after seeing the attachés of the other missions, Kim Shin Kwon stepped forward and asked, "Did the Great Song Honglu Temple ever bring tribute gifts from our subordinates?" ”
The entourage shook his head: "Not only did I confiscate it, but I didn't pay attention to it, the things were all put in the back room, Your Majesty just saw it, and there are a lot of them in it, with the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, I'm afraid I can't look down on the gifts of the dynasty brought by us." ”
What he said was that Jin Shenquan sighed helplessly, but then said: "Even so, I have to pay tribute to the Great Song Dynasty, this is my Goryeo's sincerity, and it is also face, Your Majesty...... The king ordered us to make friends with the Great Song Dynasty, and it was naturally necessary to restore the tribute.
If the Song people accepted the tribute, it also means that the vassal relationship between Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty was recognized, and once the Great Song Emperor gave the king the seal, I Goryeo would be the orthodox canonization of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Song people would not use troops again! ”
The attachés of the mission suddenly realized that the purpose of this trip was not only to ask for guilt, but also to accept the canonization of the Great Song Dynasty and restore the truth of the vassals, so they were relieved, after all, at the beginning, they thought that the Great Song Dynasty would die for the first time, and the request for guilt might also be rejected by the Great Song Dynasty.
It is common sense to refuse to ask for guilt, but as the Celestial Empire, the Great Song Dynasty will never refuse the vassal relationship of Goryeo, and the Goryeo people have long seen through the arrogance of the Central Plains Dynasty, as long as someone comes with gifts and recitals, they will be accepted by the Central Plains Dynasty......
