Chapter 359: Saving Face (Ask for Subscription!) )
…
Port of Incheon.
Li Yan personally led a group of people from the Andong Protectorate to stand in the harbor and wait for the arrival of the Song fleet.
Senior Li persuaded: "The port is windy, most of the governors should go to the hall to rest, and I will wait to greet them." ”
Li Yan said: "The people who came with the boat this time may be the cornerstone of our Shuibo Liangshan, and I must greet them in person." ”
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, someone suddenly shouted, "It's coming!" Here it comes! ”
Li Yan looked up and saw a fleet of fifty or sixty large ships coming in the distance.
Li Yan said: "Prepare drum music." ”
In the sound of gongs and drums, Song Guo's fleet entered the port and docked, and Li Yan greeted him with a group of civil and military personnel and personal guards.
Seeing Li Yan put on such an enthusiastic posture, Cai You, who was the first to get off the boat, said with emotion: "I have been to Seoul several times, and this time I saw the enthusiasm of Seoul!" ”
Li Yan said: "It's very unfortunate that Lord Cai came every time, and they all came just in time when I was not in Seoul, and the people below didn't know how to do things, so I neglected Lord Cai." ”
Cai You said: "Okay, okay, don't lie to me with nice words, come on, I'll introduce you to two adults." ”
Cai You first introduced one person to Li Yan and said, "This is the young lord of the dynasty." ”
Shaozai is the right prime minister, and Li Yan, who has eyeliner in the court, knows that not long ago, Zhao Ji promoted Wang Hao to the eighth rank of the prime minister of Shi, so he knows that this person must be Wang Huang, one of the six thieves.
Li Yan bowed and said, "I've seen Lord Zaifu." ”
Wang Hao smiled and said: "Lord Li opened up the territory for the country, and offered the divine beast unicorn, and the official family praised Lord Li for his loyalty. ”
It turned out that after discussing with the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, they thought that if the person Li Yan wanted was still the main personnel, and the number of people he wanted was reduced by seven, seven, eighty, and eight, Li Yan would be furious, and it was very likely that he would not give money.
Therefore, at Cai You's suggestion, Zhao Ji gave Li Yan a duke, and it was not a county duke, but a county duke.
The marquis became a duke, Li Yan was naturally happy, but Li Yan also faintly felt that Zhao Ji and their monarchs and ministers were so generous, and nine times out of ten they didn't hold back their farts.
Therefore, after getting to know Li Bangyan, Li Yan directly asked what he was most concerned about: "Three adults, I don't know what you brought to the lower officials when you came over this time?" Don't blame the three adults, as you know, the war between our Andong Protectorate and Taephon and Goryeo is on the verge of breaking out......"
Cai You glanced at Wang Hao and Li Bangyan, and said, "You say, you did it." ”
Seeing this, Wang Hao smiled and said: "The three keels are already on the way here, iron bars, cowhides, cow tendons and other things are being loaded on the ship, we can set off after we go back, the Tai students came with us a thousand, and the rest came with iron bars, cowhides, cow tendons and other things, and we brought all the low-level generals you want and their families, one is a lot." ”
Li Yan was still waiting for Wang Hao's next words, but Wang Hao said that he would not say anything more.
Li Yan asked, "Gone?" ”
Li Bangyan said: "Craftsmen and shipwrights have to gather slowly......"
Li Yanxiang said: "There are more than 10,000 craftsmen who built Wansui Mountain for Zhao Ji, how can they not even make up 3,000?" ”
But when the words came to his lips, Li Yan swallowed the words back again, and said in his heart: "It is designated that Zhao Ji has to keep these craftsmen to continue to build his Long Live Mountain." ”
Li Bangyan continued: "Don't worry, the three thousand craftsmen and three thousand boatmen you want, three months at most, together with their families, will all be sent to you. ”
Li Yan asked, "Then those officials I want?" ”
Wang Hao said earnestly: "Zong Ze, Li Gang, Li Guang, Zhang Xiaochun, Zhang Shuye, Tang Chong, Zhan Du, Chen Yu, Zhao Li, Liu Tao, Wang Yu, these people all have important positions, and they really can't be transferred to your Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and I hope that the Duke of Li County ......."
Without waiting for Wang Huang to finish speaking, Li Yan pressed his head and said, "Xiaguan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so he lost his company first." ", and then instructed Jin Fushi: "Lizhi, entertain the three adults for me, by the way, set up a banquet in the Dadu Protectorate to entertain those students and generals, and arrange their families, from now on, they will be the people of our Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, and they must be treated well." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Yan nodded at Cai You, then turned around and left, without looking at Wang Hao and Li Bangyan for a second time.
Seeing Li Yan leaving, Wen Huanzhang and the others all followed as soon as possible, some of them snorted heavily, and even said bluntly: "The two thousand students who said yes came to the thousand!" Almost none of the officials who wanted to come came, only some low-level generals came! There is not even a shadow of the keel and military supplies! "What a disappointment in this court! "There is no honesty at all! ”……
After a while, only Song envoys and their retinue and Li Cao's people were left on the dock.
What made Cai You, Wang Hao, and Li Bangyan completely unable to get off the stage was that Jin Fushi bowed to the three of them and said: "I'm really sorry for the three adults, most of the governors ordered the lower officials to take over the wind for the students and the generals, and they have to settle their families, and the lower officials will first take them off the boat and settle them properly, and then come to greet the three adults." ”
After the confession, Jin Fushi took Licao's people to greet the Tai students and Han Shizhong and others who had not yet disembarked.
After Jin Fushi and the others left, among the officials brought by Cai You, Wang Hao, and Li Bangyan, some people couldn't help but say:
"This Li Yan is too domineering, the three adults represent the Great Song Dynasty and the official family, and he dares to snub the three adults!"
"I think this Li Yan already has a heart of disobedience, otherwise he would dare to do this!"
"I used to think that Li Yan was a loyal minister, but today I know that this guy is a traitor!"
“……”
Cai You, Wang Hao, and Li Bangyan will not be as uninformed as these officials.
Although Li Yan is nominally a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, but in fact, Li Yan's Andong Protectorate is the same as the original Goryeo, with complete autonomy, at best, it is to serve the Great Song Dynasty as the suzerain, when the Great Song Dynasty was strong, Li Yan naturally listened to the Great Song Dynasty in everything, and when the Great Song Dynasty was down, Li Yan was willing to bird the Great Song Dynasty, and if he did not want to bird the Great Song Dynasty, he would not bird the Great Song Dynasty, and throughout the ages, the relationship between the suzerainty and the vassal states has always been like this.
Cai You said: "How about it, I said that Li Yan has to give us a face...... You don't know Li Yan at all, Li Yan belongs to a donkey, he doesn't go, he goes backwards, and he has to follow his hair, but it's good for you to not give him the officials he wants, and the things are not happy, this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do, but it's a pity that my months of work! ”
Wang Hao said: "My Lord Cai, those officials don't give it to us, it's the officials and Tong Shumi who don't give it, as for the things that Li Yan wants, if we all ship them and Li Yan doesn't give money, then we will become sinners of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
Cai You said: "You don't know Li Yan at all, Li Yan promised a thousand dollars, and there is nothing that he didn't do!" ”
Li Bangyan said: "Yes, yes, we are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”
Wang Hao said: "The matter has come to this point, what's the use of talking about this, Lord Cai, you go and talk to Li Yan, we will transport the remaining people, keels and materials as soon as possible, and let him give the money quickly, the official family is waiting for this money to calm down the civil strife." ”
Li Bangyan also said: "Please also ask Lord Cai to mediate." ”
