Chapter 793: Alarmism intimidates the monarch and ministers
This general is called Tuo Junjing, he was Li Ziqian's in-law and confidant, but Wang Kai, the lord of the country who has grown up, has long been dissatisfied with his maternal grandfather, so he secretly separated the relationship between Li Ziqian and Tuo Junjing, and successfully won over Tuo Junjing through the needle and lead of the internal medicine Cui Siquan.
It can be said that Li Ziqian, who was imprisoned, hated the most not the lord Wang Kai, but his former most trusted confidant Tuo Junjing.
The civil official was called Zheng Zhichang, a famous poet of the Goryeo Dynasty. His real name is Zheng Zhiyuan, his name is Nanhu, and he is a native of Xijing, Goryeo.
Zheng Zhichang has been smart and enlightened since childhood, and it is said that at the age of 5, he went to the egret on the Yongjiang River, participated in the imperial examination, and won the first place. At the beginning, he was conferred as a priest, and since then, he has successively served as Zuo Zhengyan, Zuo Si Zhi, Living Note and other positions, and has been promoted to the Hanlin Bachelor's Degree Knowledge.
Zheng Zhi is always bold and open-minded by nature, good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, proficient in easy learning, Buddhist scriptures, and has always hated red tape Confucianism, and loves the natural and expansive, transcendent Lao Zhuang thought, which is incompatible with those in power. He was very interested in the secret art of yin and yang, and befriended the Xijing monk Miaoqing and the astronomical officer Bai Shouhan and others, and called them the "Three Sages of Xijing".
Standing beside Zheng Zhichang, the monk who is incompatible with this royal hall is Miaoqing.
Miaoqing, a Goryeo monk, a native of Xijing, and his common surname is unknown.
This monk claimed to have inherited the footwork of the Taiyi jade tent taught by the Zen master Dao Shu in the early years of the Goryeo Dynasty. The so-called Taiyi jade tent footwork is one of the feng shui diagram prophecies that prevailed in the Goryeo Dynasty. It is rumored that Miaoqing and his brother-in-law Bai Shouhan, the Japanese official, are both familiar with the art of yin and yang, and confuse the public with strange and indifferent words.
Zheng Zhichang believed in Buddhism and gradually came together with Miaoqing, and was convinced of his exercises, and Li Ziqian angrily glared at them because of the conspiracy of these three people with the lord Wang Kai because of his downfall and capture.
Li Ziqian walked a few steps, and when he came to the hall, he said loudly: "A few years ago, when the Chinese Empire was not established, it began to invade the south, and took the three kingdoms of Jiaozhi, Zhancheng, and Dali as its own. Soon after, it was learned that the enemy lord Li Nan was missing, and the Zhenla Empire sent 100,000 elephant soldiers, Zhang Shuye of the Song State led tens of thousands of troops, Goryeo and the island country attacked Zhennanguo, although he took advantage of it in the early stage, but after Li Nan returned, he first broke Zhenla, and then defeated the Song State......
The ministers in the court were silent, only to hear Li Ziqian loudly talk about the previous achievements of the Central Plains Empire, at this time Wang Kai and the ministers realized that they seemed to ignore the horror of the empire and did something wrong.
"Now the Chinese Empire is rising day by day, including Jiaozhi, Zhancheng, Dali and half of the Song Kingdom's 12-road state capitals, and the country is becoming more and more prosperous!"
Speaking of this, Li Ziqian's voice was full of anger, pointing at Tuo Junjing, Zheng Zhichang and Miaoqing and reprimanding: "You don't want to serve the lord of the country, but you slandered Goryeo to cooperate with the Song State and send a fleet to attack the Chinese Empire, which has become an invincible posture, and bury the friendship between the two countries that the old man has cultivated with great difficulty, what crime should you be guilty of!" ”
"Nonsense!" Zheng Zhichang saw that the lord of the country, Wang Kai, looked at him with an unkind face, and hurriedly defended: "The Chinese Empire is indeed very strong, but the Song State and the Jin State are not easy people, and the combined efforts of our three countries will definitely defeat the enemy country!" ”
"What?" Li Ziqian was shocked: "You actually instigated the lord of the country to ally with the Jin country!" ”
Tuo Junjing said: "The soldiers of the Jin State are strong and strong, and it will not take a few years to destroy the invincible Liao State, and it borders my Goryeo State, so we can send troops to attack at any time, so why should we form an alliance with the Jin State?" ”
"Idiot!" Li Ziqian scolded: "Old man, let me ask you, the Jin Kingdom is adjacent to my Goryeo, if there is no Chinese Empire and the Song State to tie it, then do you think the Jin people will still let me exist in Goryeo?" ”
"This ......" Tuo Junjing has some insight in the battle formation, but when it comes to politics, he is really not good at it, so he is speechless.
Seeing that Tuo Junjing was silent, Li Ziqian then asked: "Now that the Song State is too busy to take care of itself, according to what you said, even if the Jin State can send troops to help me Goryeo, then now that the fleet of the Chinese Empire has arrived, where are our reinforcements?" And what do we use to resist the army of imperial reproaches? ”
I have to say that Li Ziqian's words made the current situation clear, and his two questions were not answered by the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, so the court became silent.
When Wang Kai, the lord of the country, saw that no one spoke, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
Wang Kai endured the humiliation, and after the secret contact with the courtiers finally defeated his maternal grandfather Li Ziqian, he regained control of the power, but he did not feel how happy, but countless political affairs attacked him.
Wang Kai, the lord of Goryeo, has no courage and no strategy, but he has ambitions, and it is good to have smooth sailing on weekdays, but when he encounters difficulties and setbacks, he immediately rises up without a master.
Looking around at the ministers, although he hated his grandfather Li Ziqian from the bottom of his heart, Wang Kai still asked: "Guogong, let's not mention the past for the time being, now do you have a way to solve the dilemma and retire the imperial soldiers?" ”
Although what Li Ziqian said just now is true, he used alarmist words to intimidate the lord and ministers, of course, not for the fate of Wang Kai and any Goryeo, but for his own safety.
It can be said that what Wang Kai and others did saved Li Ziqian in disguise, if it weren't for their secret alliance with the Song State and the Jin State, and later sent a fleet to raid the empire's East China Sea Fleet, I am afraid that Li Ziqian would have been waiting to rot in the dark prison.
Now that others are helpless, although Li Ziqian is not sure, he still swears and says: "If the lord of the country does what the old man says, then I can guarantee that the country of Goryeo is worry-free, and the lord of the country is fine!" ”
"Lord of the country, this must not be done!" Li Ziqian's words frightened Tuo Junjing, this really made his enemies gain power, and he and the others were afraid that they would die without a place to be buried, so he immediately scolded: "This old man has never had anything to do with the empire, and the king can't listen to his nonsense!" ”
"Who says I have no connection to the Chinese Empire?" Li Ziqian looked at Tuo Junjing and the others, and said proudly: "After the sixth daughter of my Li family, Xiaoshan, was sent to the empire, the deep favor of the emperor Li Nan is now his favorite concubine, do you know about this?" ”
Tuo Junjing recalled it carefully, and vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, but he never knew that Li Xiaoshan had become the emperor's favorite concubine.
In fact, since Li Xiaoshan went to the empire, he has completely cut off contact with the Li family of Goryeo, so Li Ziqian's words are half true and false, which shows the power of this old fox.
Wang Kai, the lord of Goryeo, who had no other way, hesitated for a moment and asked with doubts: "Guogong, is this really feasible?" ”
"Hahaha......" Seeing Wang Kai like this, Li Ziqian, who had watched him grow up since he was a child, was very relieved, and immediately looked up to the sky and laughed: "If the lord of the country doubts me, then he can use other methods, the old man doesn't want to compete with all the capable ministers present!" ”
