Chapter 579: Greeting the King of Zhennan
Jin Lian said with a smile: "Lord Hong, His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan has created a huge foundation in less than two years, if it is not a genius of Tianzong, how can he do it?" It is not unreasonable for the Great Khan to obey the words of the king of Zhennan, and the two sages of the Southern Song Dynasty will surrender the government to each other. ”
Qiyun sighed: "The most rare thing is that the king of Zhennan led 100,000 Mongolian elite soldiers with the posture of a Han man, and even the prince and the two princesses had to listen to orders under his command, compared to ...... Alas! ”
Jin Lian and Hong Chaqiu didn't know that Qiyun was referring to Wang Yu, who was so lost and bullied by Kudu Lujian that he cried repeatedly, so they could only pretend not to understand and not answer his words, so as not to embarrass everyone, and they were also envious of Cheng Yue in their hearts.
After a while, the golden dragon flag with a red background in the distance became clearer and clearer, and it was Cheng Yue and many royal dignitaries. On the left side of Cheng Yue is Tuhuan and Kutoulun, on the right side is Wan Ze and Nang Jiazhen, and then to the side, there are all famous generals of the Great Yuan Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty.
Hong Chaqiu's eyes lit up with excitement, and he couldn't help but sigh: "If I can have such a majestic momentum, even if it is only for one day, it will be worth dying!" ”
Jin Lian and Qi Yun both laughed and said nothing.
Cheng Yue called Pu Qiu, pointed to the crowd in front of him and asked, "General Park, who are those three people?" I only know the Golden Refining. ”
Pu Qiu said loudly: "Returning to the prince, it is the chief manager of Hong and the two privy envoys of Jin Lian and Qiyun!" ”
Tuohuan was furious when he heard this, and said, "There are so many of us who are the princess of the sect, do we only send such three people to greet us?" What did Xin Du and Shi Mo Tianqu do in Kaijing? ”
Wan Ze also frowned and said, "Lord Wang, Wang Yu may have done it on purpose." I want to compete with the prince. Koreans always like to pay attention to these things. ”
Cheng Yue shook his head and sighed: "Can't you think about something else when you have time?" The Goryeo monarchs were so boring. ”
Nangjiazhen snorted coldly: "I think it is indispensable for Kudu Lujian to lose that girl stirring in it." Sister Wan Ze has always been good to her, but she always feels that Sister Wan Ze is a head below her, and everything she should do is right, and most of the major events in etiquette in front of her have her ideas. ”
Cheng Yue didn't care about anything else, as soon as he heard that Kudu Lujian was lost and dared to look down on Wan Ze, anger could not be suppressed in his eyes.
Wan Ze saw Cheng Yue's angry face, and his heart was sweet and worried. Busy said: "Don't be angry, these are just speculations, and you can't do them accurately." ”
Cheng Yue turned his head to Wan Ze and said, "Wan Ze, don't worry about these things, I have my own plans." ”
Wan Ze had to bow his head and remain silent, secretly worried about Kudu Lujian's loss.
When he came to the front, Cheng Yue raised his hand, and the army immediately stopped layer by layer, standing silent.
Hong Chaqiu, Jin Lian, and Qiyun hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greet them one by one.
Wait for them to salute. Tuhuan glared and said, "Hong Chaqiu, what about the two guys Xindu and Shimo Tianqu?" Are you too sick to walk? ”
Hong Chaqiu hurriedly said: "Return to the prince." The two adults were busy with state affairs and really had no time to separate, so they specially ordered the officials to ask the nobles for their guilt. ”
Nang Jiazhen stared at Hong Chaqiu and said, "Is it okay for Wang Yu and Kudu Lujian to be lost for this time?" Should I say hello to them first? ”
It is extremely rude to call Wang Tan and Kudu Lujian by their lost names, and if ordinary people were to kill them with a knife. But the identity of Nang Jiazhen is higher than that of Kudu Lujian Lost, and naturally it is higher than Wang Yu, scolding them is all in vain, not to mention just calling names?
The three important ministers of Goryeo laughed bitterly when they heard this, and they could guess with their eyes closed why Nangjajin was so indignant, and where they dared to argue about anything, they just promised.
Only then did Cheng Yue speak: "We are tired from afar, let's go to the city to rest." The army camped and set out again tomorrow. ”
Hong Chaqiu smiled when he heard this: "Lord, the king of Goryeo has prepared the wine and meat to reward the army, and when the army sets up camp, it will be sent to the army immediately." ”
Cheng Yue said: "Oh? The king of Goryeo is really a charcoal in the snow, and our army is short of food and grass, and it is about to be replenished. ”
Hong Chaqiu was very surprised, and said, "Did the prince encounter an accident halfway?" How can there not be enough food and grass? ”
Cheng Yue smiled faintly and said, "It's not an accident, it's a trivial matter." ”
Jin Lian said with a smile: "It is a good coincidence that the prince learned that the 250,000 quintals of grain and grass sent by the prince last time, my king ordered that 100,000 taels should not be used, and he waited for the prince to supply military supplies for this expedition, which is really a coincidence." ”
Cheng Yue smiled slightly and said, "Does he have any other instructions?" ”
Jin Lian smiled: "Let's talk about this matter when we enter the city, don't worry, haha." ”
Cheng Yue knew in his heart that Wang Yu was not worried about him, but worried that the Mongolian arrogant soldiers would be dissatisfied with the hospitality and plundered everywhere, although it was impossible for him to be there, but it was always good to send one more favor, and there was something to say if something happened.
The population of Suzhou City was small, the city was small and strong, and Cheng Yue only brought two hundred escorts into the city. Along the way, the ragged Goryeo people knelt down on the side of the road, not daring to raise their heads, waiting in awe for Cheng Yue and other nobles to pass by.
Cheng Yue couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. Goryeo was even warned, and at the worst time, the Mongols occupied almost the entire territory, and the king of Goryeo hid on Ganghwa Island, calculating that the Mongols had no naval army and would not surrender.
Finally, the Mongols were impatient to consume with him, and returned the old territory of Goryeo to the Wang family, and Goryeo officially became a Mongolian vassal, and as a result, he had to endlessly claim responsibility to the Mongols, and the Mongol envoys also acted as powerful and blessed in Goryeo, and the government was basically controlled by the Mongols, and the king of Goryeo was only a puppet many times.
The current Xindu, Shima Tianqu and Hongchaqiu were sent by Kublai Khan to control Goryeo. When Wang Tan went to court, Xin Du sat on Wang Tan's left, and he had to nod his head and agree to major government affairs before they could be implemented. Xindu and Shimo Tianqu were an army and a people, and no one listened to anyone except Kudu Lujian's lost words, and they were the de facto emperor of Goryeo.
What's even worse is that there is also a wayward Mongolian princess next to Wang Yu - Kudu Lujian is lost. According to the rules of Mongolia, the princess is ranked above the princes and kings, and Kudu Lujian can convene a hundred officials to discuss and issue an edict on his own, and Wang Yu can't even doubt it!
Wang Tan is not angry, he takes the initiative to shave his hair and is easy to obey, and he also likes to follow the habit he developed when he was a proton in Dadu, and he hunts everywhere with Kudu Lujian Lost, often destroying agricultural time and trampling on farmland, making the people cry bitterly.
In order to make himself more like the Mongols, and in order to curry favor with the lost Kudu Lujian and the Yuan Dynasty court, Wang Tan also raised a large number of horses and cattle on Tamna Island, and made ghee, most of which were enjoyed by the Goryeo royal family, and a small amount could also be tributed. Cheng Yue's butter tea in Dadu is partly a contribution from Goryeo.
Cheng Yue was in such a dire situation in Goryeo, Japan was poor, at least producing some gold and silver, and Goryeo was even poorer, with nothing, relying on manpower to weave, plant, and collect ginseng to pay tribute to Mongolia.
Hong Chaqiu saw Cheng Yue's frowns, and said that he disliked the poverty of Goryeo, and said with a smile: "Lord, Goryeo is not as prosperous as the Great Song Dynasty, the goods of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the goods made by the prince, are extremely luxurious and rare in Goryeo, only the royal family of Kaijingluo City can afford to use it, don't hide it from the prince, and the subordinates can barely get a few pieces in their homes, haha." However, the queen is the most obsessed, and if there is something new in the Great Song Dynasty, the queen will definitely try her best to get it. In addition, the prince's songs and dances, poems, and novels are widely circulated in the two classes of Goryeo, which can be called Luoyang paper. This time the prince came to Goryeo, and the queen and the two classes of nobles were also eager to see him. ”
Cheng Yue was even angrier in his heart, but he smiled slightly on his face and said, "Really? I would also like to meet the king and queen of Goryeo, who are relatives, so I should move around more from now on. ”
Hong Chaqiu and the others nodded again and again.
The so-called two classes refer to the civil and military aristocracy of Goryeo, similar to the great families before the Song Dynasty in China. These people monopolized the culture and official positions of Goryeo, and married each other, almost hereditary. Few of the ordinary people of Goryeo were literate, and they spoke the unwritten Goryeo vernacular, which was the predecessor of today's Korean language, and was ridiculed by the aristocracy.
Only the aristocracy of the two classes could read Chinese characters for the majority, and the literary class could also speak Chinese fluently, and could write various newspapers and orders, so their values were naturally different, so the class division of Goryeo was formed. By the time of the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolian had become popular again, but it was far less entrenched than Chinese.
Speaking of the two classes of nobles in Goryeo, there is another interesting fact. Ban Ki-moon, who is currently the Secretary-General of the United Nations, was originally named Yao Ki-win, his mother's surname was Pan, and his father's surname was Yao.
Ban Ki-moon's father was the illustrious Yao branch of the Kaesong Yao clan, whose ancestor was Yao Bo (the ancestor of the Yao clan in Gyeongju), a former Tang dynasty scholar who fled east to Silla to escape the Hwangchao Rebellion. Yao Bo settled in Jincheng (now Gyeongju, South Korea) after crossing to the east, and was courteous to King Dingkang of Silla, because Yao Bo was born in the illustrious Wuxing Yao family, so he was named Wu Xingjun, and later served as King Dingkang of Silla, Queen Zhensheng, King Hyogong, King Shendeok, King Jingmyeong, and the official to Situ.
After Yao Bo's death, he was posthumously awarded the title of "Gongjing Han Xinghong Wenwude Loyal Hero" by King Jingai of Silla. His eldest son Yao Renhui was the founder of Goryeo because he was the founder of Goryeo, so he was named the king of Haedong by King Taejo of Goryeo, and the official was the secretary of Wuzangqing, and later moved to the capital of Goryeo (now Kaesong, North Korea) with his family (so Yao Renhui was the ancestor of the Yao family in Kaijing), leaving his younger brother Yao Renye, Yao Rensheng, and Yao Renyan to guard the tomb of his father and the family temple in Gyeongju.
The Later Yao clan was divided into 47 branches, including Hanyang, Hwaseong, Yeheung, Pupyong, Ganghwa, Gangneung, Yangyang, Wonju, Pyeongchang, Taebaek, Donghae, Dagu, Andong, Sangju, Uljin, Yeongil, Cheongsong, Chungju, Asan, Wocheon, Seosan, Danyang, Boryeong, Jecheon, Cheongju, Jeonju, Namwon, Naju, Mokpo, Jeju, Pyongyang, Heecheon, Pyongseong, Haeju, Sariwon, Uiju, Geumgang, Hoeryong, Namyang, Hyesan, Gangjie, Cheongjin, Najin, Heongnam, Hamhung, Yuanshan and other origins, but considering the origin of its pedigree, they are all from the Kaijing Yao family, so there is a saying that "there is no two Yao in Haidong".
