"Brother Shi, what did you get from a trip to Kaicheng today?"

In the Qinghe Pavilion, the waning moon outside the window is like a hook, but the room is brightly lit. Behind the desk, Huang Shishun sat in a chair, looking at a book, smiling.

"Brother Huang, when I went to Luocheng, I just wanted to appreciate the difference between Goryeo Wangcheng and my Xuanfu Division, I came back late, and I hope Brother Huang will forgive me!"

Shi Yisheng's answer made Huang Shishun smile.

"Brother Shi, it seems that you have gained a lot, presumably you drank a lot of Jin Fushi's reception banquet."

Huang Shishun stood up, lifted the kettle from the honeycomb coal stove, made Shi Yisheng a cup of tea, and put it on the table.

Shi Yisheng undoubtedly drank some wine, and his face looked quite ruddy.

"Jin Xianggong is hospitable, but I am also disrespectful!"

In order to receive foreign envoys and merchants, Goryeo set up an "inn" in the capital city of Kaegyong, among which the big ones were Cheongju, Chungju, Sidian, and Libin. It is used to entertain business travelers in China.

In the first year of Jingkang, the Jurchens invaded the Song Dynasty in the south, and the formal diplomatic relations between the Song and Goryeo were also interrupted, but a large number of Great Song merchants came to Goryeo to trade. The Goryeo court not only allowed the Song Dynasty merchants to come and go, but also held banquets in the name of the state, and even gave them official titles.

"Brother Huang, passing by the "Lingyin Pavilion" today, I noticed that the envoy of the Jurchens stayed here, and the leader was Han Fang, the former minister of the old Liao. ”

Shi Yisheng's words made Huang Shishun stunned and suddenly nervous.

"Brother Shi, what are the Jurchens looking for Goryeo at this time?"

Shi Yisheng looked around, stepped forward and whispered:

"The heart of the Jurchen tiger and wolf came to make the king of Goryeo lower and form an alliance. The other is to borrow troops, presumably to deal with our army's Northern Expedition. ”

Shi Yisheng became indignant, and his voice became louder.

"I can't imagine that this Jurchen actually hit his mind on Goryeo, it's really hateful!"

In September of the first year of health and the year of Bingwu (1126), the Jurchens sent envoys Gao Boshu and Wu Zhizhong to Goryeo, and after taking away the residents of Baozhou and the border people who flowed into Goryeo, they gave Baozhou the land to Goryeo. The following year, the Jurchens sent Yelu Jujin and Han Fang to Goryeo and ordered Goryeo to take an oath. Goryeo was reluctant to take the oath and kept delaying, but diplomatic relations with the Song Dynasty also came to an end.

The Song dynasty moved south, and also sent envoys to Goryeo to inform Zhao Ji's re-enthronement, and accused Goryeo of being subservient to the Jurchens, and instigated Goryeo to attack gold, but Goryeo refused.

It seems that the Jurchens were very dissatisfied with Goryeo's refusal to be vassals, and this time it was coercion and temptation, and they didn't know what choice the Goryeo people would make.

Huang Shishun frowned and said categorically: "No matter what, we can't let the Jurchens succeed." It's really not good, just follow the story of Ban Dingyuan back then, and kill the killer!"

"With one body turning to the side of the region, the countries are known, because of their soldiers, every time there is an attack, they are the first, and they are Jinyi, and they do not avoid death."

Shi Yisheng's eyes flashed, and he nodded:

"It's really not good, and I can only take risks!"

Huang Shishun pondered secretly. Maybe tomorrow after meeting Wang Kai, the king of Goryeo, things will come to an eyebrow.

When the time comes, how to decide will depend on the will of God.

Huang Shishun raised his head, looked at Shi Yisheng, and asked with a smile, "What have you gained from going to the city for so long?"

"Under the rule of my Xuanfu Division, no matter how big or small the state and county, they are clean and tidy, the roads are spacious, the public toilets are complete, and the shops are lined up, and the law and order are good, which always gives people a sense of prosperity."

Shi Yisheng shook his head and said with emotion: "Let's just say that in this imperial city, although the architecture is not bad, some palaces are idle and overgrown with weeds, which always gives people a sense of dilapidation. Zhang Hao was a little anxious and couldn't find the toilet for a while

, the official actually took him to the abandoned side room to solve it, which was really ridiculous and generous. ”

"So what about the rest of Kaesong, I mean Fang City, not the Imperial City."

Huang Shishun is also Waner. He used to come to Kaesong almost every year, but he also knew what it was like. It is inevitable that Kaesong has been devastated by repeated wars, and there are countless ruins and ruins.

In the first year of Jingkang, in the same year that Goryeo decided to make money, the rebellion of Li Ziqian occurred.

Li Ziqian was the grandfather of Wang Kai, the king of Goryeo, who was "autocratic and despotic", and his power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and the family also ascended to heaven. Li Ziqian also forcibly married his two daughters to Wang Kai, and even asked Wang Kai to make him "Knowing Military and State Affairs", and Wang Kai, who grew up, was dissatisfied with Li Ziqian.

In February of the first year of Jingkang, the first year of Goryeo Bingwu (1126), the chamberlain waited for gold bars, Tongzhi Privy Council Secretary Ji Lok Yeon, and General Cui Zhuo, with the support of Wang Kai, launched a palace coup d'état, wanting to eradicate Li Ziqian and his in-law Tuo Junjing in one fell swoop, but Li Ziqian did not enter the palace because he had learned the news in advance. Tuo Junjing failed to lead the army into the palace, but ignored Wang Kai's holy decree to disband the soldiers in the city tower, and set fire to the palace. Wang Kai fled to Shanhu Pavilion under the escort of more than a dozen attendants, and all the people involved in the coup were killed by Tuo Junjing, and the palace was almost destroyed, leaving only three pavilions and dozens of corridors in the Inner Emperor's Liberation Courtyard.

Although Wang Kai finally took the opportunity to eradicate Tuo Junjing, the palace was destroyed and had to be repaired to complete the palace.

"This is already the case in the Imperial City, let alone the dwellings."

Shi Yisheng sat down, smelled the curling aroma of hot tea, and became more energetic.

"The streets and alleys, the roads are cramped and dirty, maybe it has just rained, the muddy puddles all over the ground, even on the streets, you can see fresh human and animal manure, not to mention those side streets and alleys."

Thinking of what he saw on the way, Shi Yisheng frowned slightly.

By the dirty and smelly river, women squatted there to wash vegetables and clothes, while men in shabby clothes carried and stabbed water, and they didn't know whether they could eat and drink with such water and vegetables, and whether they would get sick.

Remembering that under the rule of Xuanfu Division, residents drank clean drinking water. The difference between the two sides is simply too great.

This can't help but remind Shi Yisheng of Hangzhou Mansion, which is also full of urine, and traces of smoke and fire are everywhere. When did the Chinese people who pay attention to their personal appearance become what they are now.

"Even if it is Jiangnan, there are droughts year after year, thieves are rising, officials and bandits are doing evil, and there is still a place in the city! Even in Hangzhou, there are many people and small cities, and human and animal feces are all over the ground, dirty and smelly!"

Shi Yisheng said indignantly, and transferred it to the Great Song Dynasty in Jiangnan.

Could it be that China, a huge country, can't even build a few public toilets?

When did those brilliant scholars and doctors in the imperial court care about the people's livelihood and suffering?

"The two rivers are naturally clean and hygienic, and the public security management is decent, but Hangzhou Mansion, I'm afraid it's not as bad as you say, right?"

Huang Shishun smiled, speaking of which, the cleanliness of the two rivers, and her daughter has also done a lot of work.

The only thing that gives him a headache is when will his daughter marry Wang Song, and when will he be able to hold his grandson?

This is a lifelong event related to her daughter, and it is also a matter of the Huang family. He also plans to ask for a few more concubines and have more children.

Shi Yisheng shook his head and said, "Brother Huang, fortunately, it's winter, not summer. Otherwise, I really don't know how bad it smells and how fishy it is!"

He worked as an errand in Hebei, and he had long been accustomed to cleanliness and hygiene, and when he arrived in Goryeo and Jiangnan, it was such a scene, which was really uncomfortable.

"Brother Huang, in fact, the living environment can be improved, but people's thoughts are ......"

Thinking of what he had heard and seen today, Shi Yisheng couldn't help but shake his head.

That's when he understood

How important it is to Wang Song to open up the wisdom of the people and advocate education.

"The officials above are well-dressed and well-fed, with a group of wives and concubines, arrogant and lascivious, adulterous and arrogant. The people at the bottom are unkempt, ragged, cowardly and numb, which is distressing to watch. ”

Huang Shishun patiently listened to Shi Yisheng's words, nodded slightly, and motioned for him to drink tea.

"Goryeo is like this, Jiangnan is not."

Huang Shishun's face was calm, as if he had long been numb to these things, and he was not surprised when he saw them.

"Brother Shi, this is why Goryeo and Jiangnan are included under the rule of Xuanfu Division. Chinese civilization should be covered in all directions and the whole world should enjoy together. ”

He took a cup of tea and blurted it out.

"What's more, Goryeo is my Chinese homeland, and I will not spare all the worries, how can I let it sit big!"

Shi Yisheng nodded emphatically and said quietly:

"The officialdom is turbid, intriguing, and fighting each other, and only under the command of the prince can he ask for his life for the people, be loyal to the country, and show his ambitions. Speaking of which, the husband has the grace of knowing me! ”

"So, Brother Shi, what we do is for the national fortune of China, we must be cautious!"

Shi Yisheng nodded slightly and said, "Brother Huang's teachings are to be remembered in my heart."

He then chuckled softly, with some emotion in his words.

"Brother Huang, now Kaesong can be said to be a gathering of guests, and forces from all sides have appeared one after another, and they have turned this foreign place of Goryeo into a battlefield. The best is yet to come. ”

Huang Shishun also laughed.

"Could it be that your brother Shi has met the old man again?"

"It's not just an old man, it's a big name. Today, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty court has also arrived, and the people at the head are Qin Hui and Wei Xingke, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

When Huang Shishun heard this, his face suddenly became serious.

Qin Hui, the traitor who almost killed Wang Song in battle, and the soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army were eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood. Unexpectedly, at this moment, this thief has arrived here.

In the third year of Jingkang, this thief and Zhang Shuye deliberately withheld the troops, and deliberately made the Shiling Pass lost, the army of Taiyuan could not go to reinforcements, the loyal army killed more than 10,000 soldiers, and Wang Song almost died......

This thief can still swagger through the market now, and when he was the last minister, he was in a high position, and God was really blind.

Huang Shishun's eyes suddenly became cold, which made Shi Yisheng startled.

"Brother Huang, what are you going to do, you don't want to kill Qin Hui, right?"

Shi Yisheng intuitively felt that it was not good. The two came to Goryeo, but they had a heavy responsibility, so they still tried not to make waves.

Attacking and killing the Jurchen envoys to prevent Goryeo and the Jurchens from colluding with him, he can understand this, and he is willing to take risks. But Qin Hui, but the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, once he falls out, I am afraid that it will be difficult to clean up, and Wang Song may also blame it.

"Brother Shi, Qin Hui is the public enemy of the soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army, if he kills him, the prince will never blame, and the soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army will also be grateful to Dade. It's a good time to get rid of this thief!"

Huang Shishun's eyes were blazing. Killing Qin Hui, the "son-in-law" has a lot of hatred in his heart, and he will definitely love his daughter. In the future, Wang Song will ascend the throne and reign over the world, and his daughter will be much better.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Shi Yisheng about these careful thoughts.

Shi Yisheng was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

Killing the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty can not only comfort the souls of tens of thousands of loyal and righteous soldiers who died in the battle in Fuzhou, but also make the Song court and Goryeo hostile, isolate Goryeo, and at the same time isolate the Song court, so that Goryeo can move closer to the two rivers.

What's more, this Qin Hui is a traitor.

"Brother Huang, having said that, you have to plan carefully, and it's best not to show flaws, so as not to miss a big event."
