Chapter 626: One Step Late
When this kind of thing happened, the ministers who wanted to speak all retreated for fear of being affected, and after this incident, they were sure that it was really not the right time to come today.
Things still have to be done, and they have to decide what to do.
"Your Majesty is brave." At this time, I don't know who said this.
Probably frightened, and then embarrassed by the disdainful gaze of the ministers, he lowered his head.
Emperor Yang of Sui was immediately happy when he heard that someone was praising him, and immediately said: "It's good to say it, and I will give advice to the imperial history." ”
The ministers were directly stunned, and a word of flattery was too child's play, but they didn't dare to say it when they thought so in their hearts, and they had never heard of any jokes in the king, even if it was a drunken emperor.
The very inconspicuous official was promoted from five to four at once, and his expression at this time was very exciting.
According to common sense, when such a ridiculous thing occurs, there will be a speaker who will stand up and speak, and at this time, the speaker will twist his head to the side as if nothing has happened.
If it were Li Shimin and Wei Zheng, it might have quarreled in the court at this time, making the emperor angry but helpless, but at this time, facing Emperor Yang of Sui, we don't want to gamble with a head.
If you are promoted with a word of flattery, there is nothing else that the emperor in front of you can't do.
Then Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had a drunken madness, but fortunately, his attitude towards Goryeo was very tough, and what he said above the main hall was passionate, and the meaning was very simple, that is, if he did not agree to pay tribute, he would usher in the attack of the Sui army.
The ministers had no choice but to watch Emperor Yang of Sui's performance.
In the end, the generals all became serious, and Liu Xuanli, the squire of the military department, was very warm when he saw this, and gathered 200,000 soldiers and horses to conquer Goryeo again.
Although they wanted to, the current situation did not allow it, and the ministers did not lose their minds, and after they dispersed, the officials began to act.
Lu Fulin found the Goryeo mission to explain the meaning of Emperor Yang of Sui, saying that it was okay to pay tribute, but it was impossible to support it with money.
As a result, the decision was returned to the Goryeo mission in this way.
The sudden state of affairs made Su Gavin wonder why this was the case, and the emperor's desire for conquest and stubborn mood could not allow them to exchange for peace.
Su Gavin had lost sleep that night, because he had no other means, they fell into passivity, and they could not give up when they thought that there were still more than 15,000 people doing labor.
Emperor Yang of Sui did not know what happened to him when he was drunk, but the ministers did this very efficiently, and conveyed the attitude and conditions to the Goryeo mission on the same day.
The next day, Emperor Yang of Sui woke up and remembered the Goryeo mission, and wanted to summon the matter of the minister's tribute to be determined, but the amount of money and financial support proposed by the other party needed to be discussed well, and the matter was finalized before the rest was discussed.
He wanted to write his deeds down into history, but things got out of control.
After hearing his husband tell him about yesterday's incident, Emperor Yang of Sui was a little embarrassed, and his impassioned words made the generals ready to go out at any time.
Emperor Yang of Sui calmed down after listening to his husband's story, he didn't know what to do at this time, and he really didn't want to see those ministers.
The ministers asked for a meeting again and reported the attitude of the Goryeo mission to the truth.
"Your Majesty, they did not agree, but demanded the release of their hostages, and were willing to use money to redeem them." The minister said.
Emperor Yang of Sui originally wanted to drag it out and put on the emperor's shelf, but he didn't expect that the other party would not take the initiative to ask for ministers, which made him feel annoyed, and he hated these ministers in front of him a little.
In the end, he still has to blame himself, but he doesn't seem to have the awareness of this.
How could there be anything wrong with being a king?
"Lone has long seen that they are not intentional, since they want to redeem the hostages, then satisfy them to increase the price by three or five times."
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty opened his mouth widely, and the ransom of five hundred and fifteen thousand people was already thinking that a large amount of money would be credited to him, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.
The ministers could only do what the emperor said, and the matter fell to Lu Fulin, who was in charge of talking to the mission.
Su Gaiwen was not in a high mood, the ransom of fifteen thousand soldiers was so high, but they had to come up with this money, they now had time to think about it, and the officials of the Sui State did not rush to urge.
"General, do we really want to take so much money out?" Goryeo Wenchen said.
Su Gaiwen shook his head and said, "I have already asked people to get ready, let's rush to Penglai overnight, since it is to ransom people, it is better to make a deal with the Emperor of Sui than to go directly to Penglai." ”
In a few days, Su Gaiwen was not idle, and the people he sent collected a lot of information, and he had a lot of information about Laihu'er, according to his experience, Laihu'er at this time must be short of military salaries, and if he went directly to trade, he would definitely be able to leave a lot of money.
So the Goryeo mission left Gangneung in the evening with preparations, and by the time Lu Fulin brought people over the next day to discuss the matter, it was already empty.
Then the news of the royal secret agent reached the ears of Emperor Yang of Sui.
"What, these people are really guts, quickly hand over Lone's hand to Laihu'er."
Emperor Yang of Sui's remedy was to let Lai Hu'er refuse to trade, but what he didn't expect was that in the end, the Goryeo mission was still one step faster.
Laihu'er didn't know what the emperor talked about with the mission, what he saw was real benefits, he exchanged the people of Penglai for food, and hostages for money.
No matter how you think about it, it's earned.
The deal between the two sides was quickly negotiated, and the Colliers mission paid for it in gold, and then the hostages were sunk and left Penglai.
Lai Hu'er was still thinking about how to send these people away, but he didn't expect that after the bonfire signal was released, Goryeo ships appeared that night, and there were hundreds of large and small boats combined.
A ship is eager to carry hundreds of people, although it is crowded, they don't care if they can leave Penglai.
Laihu'er took the soldiers and horses to watch them leave, and then just about to rest, the oracle passed by the fast horse was sent, and he was helpless to see the emperor's oracle.
The people have already left by boat, what can he do?
Emperor Yang of Sui was furious when he learned the news, and vented his dissatisfaction loudly, and he no longer mentioned the matter of sacrifice, but directly asked the ministers to gather 200,000 soldiers and horses again, and he was ready to conquer Goryeo four times, and he also had to drive the expedition in person.
The ministers were all against it in their hearts, the emperor was going to go to the battlefield, and the accompanying officials naturally couldn't sit in the back with peace of mind, they were all civil servants, how could they survive without the strength of the chicken.
The opposition in my heart cannot be revealed, at this time the emperor is in the blood of the emperor, who dares to oppose will definitely suffer.
All of them are shrewd, for the royal driving expedition, they are a little apprehensive, in fact, this kind of thing Emperor Sui Yang said several times and finally failed.
