Chapter 792: A Thousand Words
Guo Hong came back after dark, and first heard a "bang" outside, the palace maid hurriedly went out to take a look, and came back to report: "Your Highness sent stones to break the porcelain bottle!" ”
Second Sister Fu hurriedly got up, frowned, and said, "The older this kid gets, the more mischievous he becomes, it's too uneasy, and he hasn't been good when he was a child." ”
She walked out and scolded, "Come over here!" ”
When Guo Shao went out, he saw that the child was grimacing at Fu Ermei. Fu Ermei looked angry, but the child was not afraid of her. She said, "Let's see if your dad doesn't take that thing!" ”
Guo Shao is very calm, which little boy didn't do trick-or-treating when he was a child? But when he stopped there, he didn't get angry, Guo Hong actually looked at him with some fear.
It's strange, Guo Shao didn't beat him, but this kid was somehow afraid of himself.
"You broke the bottle?" Guo Shao pointed to the debris on the ground.
Guo Hong first hid the bamboo gun behind him and muttered, "Yes......"
Guo Shao was not angry but praised: "Very good, I dare to admit that I made a mistake." Then you sweep away the debris now, clean up your own work, and I won't beat you when I'm done. ”
The prince actually did the cleaning, but this was Guo Shao's meaning, and the palace people didn't dare to help. Guo Hong hid the bamboo gun in his clothes, and obediently picked up the broom from the eunuch's hand, and the palace finally stopped for a while.
After dinner, Guo Shao asked his son what he had learned, and a childish chant immediately sounded in the palace: "Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate." The sun and the moon are shining, and the Chensu column is ......"
Guo Shaole was happy, and asked what he meant, and then Guo Hong looked dazed.
When the palace people took the child to sleep, Guo Shao went to bed and rested in the second sister's palace.
…… After Guo Shao returned to Beijing, although there were many things, his work and rest gradually returned to normalcy.
The emperor is also like the people, the sun rises and the sun sets, and the actual sun has not yet come out to the Jinxiang Palace. An official of the Privy Council said that the small state of Goryeo would not dare to be an enemy of Daxu, and that he could send a naval army to occupy Tamna Island (Jeju) and establish a naval port.
But Guo Shao immediately made this suggestion. He doesn't have much experience in the game of Go, but he has some experience in this kind of game...... Tamna Island is just a base for moving forward, and if the first step is so ugly, it is not a good start.
At this time, the Goryeo royal family was different from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the Li family of the Xian State was completely dependent on the Central Plains, but at this time it was more independent, otherwise the Wang family would not have ambitions to expand.
At the moment, Guo Shao didn't want to tear his face with Gao Li at all, there was no benefit. First of all, the old land of the Bohai Kingdom is not a territory to fight for, and at this time, even the western Liaoning region does not have the strength to occupy it, how can it fight for the weak foundation of Liaodong? There is a Liao territory in the middle, according to the strategy of the ancient Zonghengjia: distant friendship and close attack, against a country like Goryeo, which does not border, you can't be in a hurry to settle grudges.
Secondly, although Daxu's military strength was stronger than that of Goryeo, he had no choice but to go from Jiangning Port to Tamna, and Dongdao was far away from the sea and water, and the transportation was inconvenient. If you compete with Goryeo for Tamna, Goryeo is close and far away, and Xu Jun may not be able to bargain; In the future, there will be a threat to the flanks of the sea route. In short, it is not a wise move.
At this time, the eunuch Cao Tai bowed down with a stack of pieces of music and approached, carefully placing it on the imperial case, barely making a sound. Because Guo Shaozheng was reading the recital, he was writing and drawing on paper at the same time, and he looked very attentive.
However, Guo Shao immediately noticed it, and asked without raising his head: "Have a few auxiliary ministers seen it?" ”
Cao Tai hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, I have just seen these on the case, and I only sent them to the West Hall from the Privy Council Secretary in the morning, and this is one of them." ”
Guo Shao stretched out his hand and looked at it, there were notes pasted on the leather surface, and a line of words indicated what the content was. One of the notes read: Khitan envoys to Beijing.
Guo Shao immediately took it out, looked up at Cao Tai, and said casually: "I don't know if I came to ransom Xiao Siwen's daughter again." ”
Cao Tai's face turned red when he heard this, and he almost didn't laugh.
Guo Shao first read the content of the chapter, which was a letter from a post station official, and only wrote about the reception of Khitan envoys along the way, and the Khitan did not seem to have arrived in Tokyo yet.
"Lu Shilang!" Guo Shao shouted directly at the screen. Lu Duoxun, who is also a cabinet minister, was reading the recital in the same room.
Sure enough, Lu Duoxun walked over after a while and said, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”
Guo Shao handed over the piece in his hand: "Lu Shilang should have seen it." ”
"Yes." Ludosun bowed.
Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said: "No matter what the Khitan envoys are doing, you personally bring people to receive them with national gifts, make the movement bigger, and let the envoys pass through the residence where the Goryeo people live." ”
Lu Duosun respectfully said: "The minister obeys the order...... Your Majesty's intention is to make the Koreans aware of our dealings with the Liao Kingdom? ”
Guo Shao nodded and said, "Exactly." Didn't we invite the Khitans to stay in the Daliao Post House in Tokyo before? This time, if the Liao people are willing, it is best to do it before the Goryeo envoys return to China. ”
Guo Shaoxin said: If I am in power in Goryeo, what I would like to see most at this time is that the two great powers of Xu and Liao are pinching each other, and no one has time to look eastward, and everyone wants to win over and stabilize Goryeo; What is the future of the two countries, which are most afraid of peace, sandwiched between two armistice superpowers by sea and land?
……
Daliao goes to Beijing, and the grassland is the time when it is verdant and green. Sunny, blue sky, white clouds and green land, a good time of year. Xiao Siwen was a little depressed and worried.
He stood in the courtyard of the mansion, looking at the peach trees, and always felt very lonely. Xiao Siwen has other children, but the favorite is Yanyan, at this time, things are not people, isn't it lost?
Now he is in power, but he still does not go well in business. After Yang Gon returned to Beijing, he had been stripped of his military power and official position, and if it were not for Xiao Siwen's protection, his life would not have been reported...... Xiao Siwen was not happy not because of Yang Gon, not only because of the heavy losses in the Pingxia War again, but because of Yang Gon's worries about the future after listening to Yang Gon's description.
The nobles in the court had little fear, perhaps because Pingxia was far away...... That's because they look too close!
How can an old enemy become so difficult to deal with that he can sleep peacefully?
Xiao Siwen recalled the frequency of foreign attacks in the Central Plains in recent years, after the first Northern Expedition, the Northern Expedition again in the same year occupied Youzhou, and the following year immediately occupied the entire territory of Pingxia. Xiao Siwen carefully understood that the Xu army was getting stronger and stronger, and now the Yang Gon division of the Liao army had reached the point of collapse at the touch of a button!
It's only the middle of this year, will there be any war?
The Liao State is at war, and if it can't be defeated in the frontal field, it is very passive; At that time, the Liao army dared to attack and harass in Hebei, which was full of important towns, and even took Tokyo directly during the Jin Dynasty, which was the reason why they were not afraid of field battles.
Yang Gon's defeat made Xiao Siwen worried. lost Youzhou, and the first emperor Yelujing and his gang were pushed over and made scapegoats...... The defeat in Pingxia is not serious, if the Northeast is lost in the future, and the foundation of Daliao is shaken, who is qualified to bear this responsibility?
