[Supplement the second update.] 】

After some discussion, the matter of sending troops to Goryeo was decided by the palace general.

It seems like a bit of a child's play, but it's not going to war after all. However, a few boats and more than 1,000 people went to patrol the border, but they only went a little farther. Things are not good, you can run when you turn around, and the cavalry of the Liao State will not be able to catch up.

Some little things, Zai Fu didn't mind giving Han Gang a face, and this favor would definitely be able to be taken back later.

However, Han Gang had to write a note when he went back, saying that there was no evidence, and the procedures on the official document had to be taken. In the future, when examining the archives and sorting out the personal biographies in the national history, we also need various materials to prove it.

Of course, the words written on the paper will never be to grab food from the Liao State, but to help Goryeo, which is struggling under the iron hooves of the Liao State.

Having just defeated the Liao State and recaptured a large area of land, the millions of soldiers and civilians at the foot of the capital are in high spirits, and they are rescuing the foreign vassals from being invaded by the Liao State and ensuring their inheritance, which is what the Celestial Empire should do.

Up to now, there are not many people inside and outside the capital who are still afraid of Liao, there are countless virtuous ministers and famous generals, and the three armies are each elite, and the most unfashionable Beijing camp can beat the Liao people to lose their armor, Hebei is a little less lucky, but it is also the main force of the Liao army to block out of the three passes.

Now that the Goryeo envoy has come to the capital, the imperial court has sent troops to express it, and it can even get the cheers of millions of soldiers and civilians.

In the next two or three days, Han Gang was concocting his recital, the imperial court needed some preparations, and the Goryeo envoys also had to dry it a little, so Han Gang didn't have to worry.

And in the past few days, Jin Yi, Liu Hong and their entourage have been confined to the post house, so as not to let a group of people run around and talk nonsense and mess up the plans of the imperial court.

Before leaving, Jin Yi had accepted a large sum of money from the lord of the country, and after he arrived in Kaifeng City, he used it to buy high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the Great Song Dynasty so that he could speak for Goryeo. But he can't even get out of the door now, which one can he meet?

But what Jin Yi didn't know was that as soon as he landed on the shore, he brought anyone and everything he brought, and they were all inquired about, and the Zai Fu knew very well that those in Jin Yi's hands were all expensive goods, but after all, it was in Goryeo, and in the Great Song Dynasty, it was a step worse. In addition, a box of gold is not very valuable. If you want to buy a good Song Jaefu, it's just wishful thinking. However, if this money is cheated out by the black-hearted officials below, the face of the court will not be able to pass.

Cai did give a special order to let the officials of Tongwenguan strictly guard them, and if the Goryeo envoys or entourages were allowed to slip out, the officials on duty would be severely punished from top to bottom. There was also a private message from the political affairs hall that the severe punishment would not be granted, that is, exile to Salmon Island, and there would be no forgiveness.

The next day, one of the attendants got an opportunity and sneaked out of the Tongbunkan, but was stopped back after a few steps. Soon a Tongwenguan official with his limbs broken was thrown into a carriage and left the capital under the watchful eyes of the officials of Tongwenguan. Looking at his situation, don't say that Shamen Island, even Kaifeng Mansion may not be able to get out.

Such drastic methods of the imperial court made the Tongwen Pavilion stunned, and they did not dare to be tempted by coins anymore. Jin Yi also trembled for a long time. In case his actions angered the queen and the two mansions, this time he could only go home. However, the court of the Great Song Dynasty fortunately ignored him at all, and only the embassy envoy came to talk to him.

The embassy companion is a person from the Taichang Rite Academy, a very ordinary courtesy, and he does not have the courtesy he received when he came to the Great Song Dynasty.

When Jin Yi chatted with this embassy companion, he found that the other party was a talking basket, pouring everything out, and he was not as steady and careful as the embassy envoy he had contacted in the past, and he was careful not to leave any loopholes in his words that could be used.

The selection is not human, and it can be seen from this point that the Great Song Dynasty did not take their group of Goryeo envoys for help to heart at all.

For several days, the ceremonial officials brought the latest news about Goryeo.

Just this morning, new information was sent - Kaijing was broken by the Liao.

Although the ceremonial officer also said at the time, "Whether it is a rumor or not has to be verified again." ’

But Jin Yi no longer had much hope.

From the very beginning, there was news of the fall of Kaijing, but in terms of time, even if the Liao army ran fast, it would only be able to touch Kaijing just now, but that would be an unhindered plain along the way, and it would not be a waste of time to find food and fodder. No matter how you look at it, it's a rumor.

After that, the news of the fall of Kaijing came one after another, but after careful inquiry, it was never seen with his own eyes, but hearsay.

But today's situation is different, Dengzhou Zhizhou secretly reported that the news of Liao's capture of Kaijing has been confirmed by more than ten people. These witnesses were all businessmen and officials who had escaped from Goryeo, and they did not come from the same place. Different sources have proved the same news, so there is no need to doubt it anymore.

Jin Yi has begun to despair, if there is no court, at least one king to maintain the situation in Goryeo, to prove that the Goryeo Kingdom still exists, it is absolutely impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to help, and even the weapons that have been promised will be repeated.

He was like a trapped beast, and although the Tongbunkan building was much more spacious than his residence in Kaegyo, and even though it was slightly smaller in scale, the architecture, decoration, and furnishings far exceeded that of the Goryeo royal palace, but he still felt breathless.

"Happy event! Wedding! Great joy! ”

For the first time in a few days, the ceremonial official did not come to the door to accompany him at the specified time, let alone let alone let him report, and rushed directly into Jin Yi's room. Behind him, Liu Hong and a group of entourages followed, but they didn't stop him.

Jin Yi turned around, there was no trace of expectation on his pale face, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "What happy event?" ”

"Great joy, Ambassador Kim. Han Xuanhui handed over the notebook today, saying that he wanted to ask the imperial court to send troops to rescue your country! ”

"Han Xuanhui?!"

Jin Yi and his companions were stunned.

"Why, I don't know who Han Xuanhui is?" The ceremonial officer who came to report the news looked surprised, and his eyes widened, "It's just a pox......

"Zhilu Dao! Knowing the way! Knowing the way! ”

Jin Yi's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said in a loud voice that he knew very well where Han Xuanhui was.

"It's just that the day before yesterday in the palace, Han Xuanhui didn't say a word, and today he suddenly went to the book, Jin Yi really didn't expect it!"

"Oh, Ambassador, you don't know Han Xuanhui. Han Xuanhui is not easy to say, and his words must be true. Since he is sure, he must have made a decision after careful consideration. ”

"I see."

Jin Yi nodded, and was about to ask carefully, when he heard the words of the ceremonial official smash his head and cover his face.

"Since Han Xuanhui is in the book, then Empress Taishang will not refute his face. The two governments generally do not veto. When it comes to military affairs, today's court and central government are Han Xuanhui and Lu and Zhang's second privy council. In the case of the Quartet, Han Xuanhui proposed, and Zhang Shumi supported it, and there was no one who did not pass. ”

Thinking of the day before yesterday in the palace, Zhang Di, who advocated the use of force, Jin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. The two highest-ranking marshals in the Great Song Kingdom and in the capital both stated that they would send troops to Goryeo, so there would be no problem. But I think so, but what about the details, how to send troops to help, and when to send troops, these places are more critical.

"It would have been better if the king's privy councillor had been there. That was taught by Han Xuanhui by hand, and all the art of war was passed on to Han Xuanhui. The ceremonial officer tugged at Jin Yi's sleeve and leaned closer to speak, "Ambassador, you don't know the Tao, when it comes to Han Xuanhui's knowledge, the sacred study was taught by Mr. Zhang Wencheng, and now he is a famous Confucian. Medical skills, is the king of Sun Yao's personal inheritance, a pox saved tens of millions of lives, and there are many more, I heard that I am studying how to save dystocia by caesarean section, and the medical workers below the Taiyi Bureau are about to give him practice to catch up with Hua Tuo, do you say it is powerful? ”

"It's amazing." Jin Yi nodded in agreement, and was about to say anything else, but was taken a step forward by the ceremonial officer.

"This art of war that made the Liao people tremble, was handed down by Wang Shumi. That Wang Shumi is really capable, he doesn't need money, food, soldiers and horses, and after three years in Kansai, he took down Xihe Road, and promoted Han Xuanhui by the way. In addition, Wang Tuanlian, who went to the Western Regions, and Zhao Xuan, who went to Shuzhong to quell the chaos with the queen in the palace, all obeyed orders under the Wang's privy tent, and Han Xuanhui's cousin, who had just lost for a while, had actually played very well before, and the first powerful general under Zhang's privy tent, Jing Nan and Jiaozhi both participated, and this time they accidentally lost for a while. ”

Jin Yi opened his mouth, "I said ......"

"Ambassador, think about it......" The ceremonial officer didn't care what Jin Yi wanted to say, "After teaching so many generals, what kind of level will I be?!" It's a pity that the sky is not a holiday, otherwise with him in charge, this time even the sixteen states of Youyun will be recaptured. ”

The ceremonial officials chattered, and the topic was already far from the main topic. Jin Yi was so anxious in his heart that he was scratching like a monkey, scratching his heart and liver, and he couldn't wait to pinch the other party's neck and let him say the point.

"Angel has arrived!" The announcement of the long voice outside finally interrupted the words of the ceremonial officer.

A group of people hurried to the outer courtyard, only to see a purple-clothed chamberlain had already entered the courtyard, and when they saw Jin Yi and Liu Hong, they immediately dragged their voices and said: "Empress Taishang has a decree, and the Goryeo envoys Jin Yi and Liu Hong quickly go to the palace." ”

Jin Yi suppressed his excitement and came to the Vertical Arch Hall again.

His palace is no different from the day before yesterday, but Jin Yi's state of mind has changed.

Respectfully bowed, and the voice of Empress Taishang came from behind the curtain: "Ambassador Jin." ”

"Your Majesty is here!"

"In the past few days, the imperial court has been planning how to rescue Goryeo, but the northern captives have already captured Kaijing before."

The queen's opening remarks made Jin Yi's heart sink and pause: "Although the city is broken, the country is not dead." ”

"But there is also news that Wang Hui has been surrendered. If all the people of Goryeo surrender and are willing to be the minions of the northern captives, China can only let go. ”

"Your Highness!" Jin Yi took off the official hat on his head, knelt down on the hall, and shouted urgently: "The lower country admires China, although it is overseas, the three-foot boy also knows loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, how can he be succumbed to the Tartar barbarians." Even if there is a bending, it is only perfunctory. When China's reinforcements arrive, they must rise up. What's more, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, Goryeo is subdued, and the power of the Liao State has increased by several times, if the Great Song Dynasty sits idly by, it is inevitable that he will have worries in the future. ”

Han Xuanhui said the same. Goryeo is a Chinese vassal state, and the tribute is diligent, and it is impossible not to save it. ”

Jin Yi glanced at Han Gang, the young minister was still the same as the day before, the stone puppet was still silent.

"So the imperial court has now decided to send troops to aid Goryeo."

Jin Yi's face was close to the ground: "The virtue of China's rescue will not be forgotten for thousands of years." ”

"However, China has just fought a big war with the northern captives, and it is still a little difficult to raise a large army again. But as Han Xuanhui said, at least a little bit of blood must be preserved. Therefore, first dispatch a naval army to contact your country, and then decide to stop. The voice behind the curtain paused slightly, "I don't know which of the two of you, Ambassador Jin and Deputy Envoy Liu, is willing to go back to contact the loyal ministers and righteous people in the country and cooperate with our officers and soldiers?" ”
