Chapter 323: Demon Monk Miaoqing (I)
Jin Zhihuan heard that the other party was reluctant to talk deeply, but once he didn't talk about it this time, the family banquet would be even more difficult to talk about, and he said with a sad face: "Lord Yuwen's family banquet, the contemptible people must participate, but this time the envoy has not completed the task, so." ”
"Task? What other mission, isn't it to congratulate me on the coronation of the crown prince of the Han Dynasty? ”
Yuwen Xuzhong's face was displeased, and he said coldly: "When my Han Emperor ascended the throne, he didn't announce it to the world, and if your country didn't come to congratulate him!" Now that the crown prince is crowned and announced to the world, your country is not sincerely congratulating, is it impossible to find quarrels and provoke trouble? ”
"No, no, I don't mean to." Jin Zhihuan knew that he couldn't go around in circles, so he said directly with great difficulty: "Jin Guotie is wreaking havoc in Goryeo, and the Goryeo Kingdom is in danger. In this case, foreign ministers were still sent to congratulate the crown prince of your country. This time I came to meet the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and I hope that the Han will be the master of my Goryeo Kingdom. ”
"You mean, let the Emperor of the Han Dynasty send troops to protect Goryeo and expel the Jin army?" Yu Wenxu's tone was unusually cold, and he said impatiently: "What a bold man, it is simply lawless to command our Great Han Heavenly Son to act for you Gaoli." ”
Kim Ji-hwan knew that Yuwen was bluffing, and he didn't represent the meaning of the Son of Heaven, and if the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty meant this, he wouldn't pay attention to himself, the envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom.
But how to resolve the embarrassing situation, otherwise this meeting will not be able to continue, and it doesn't matter if the Han people ignore Goryeo or not, after all, it is not cost-effective to offend the powerful Jin State for the sake of Goryeo. However, for Goryeo, without the assistance of the Han State, there is no doubt that the country would be doomed.
To resolve the embarrassing situation, Kim Ji-hwan could only take out the credentials that he was going to submit to the Son of Heaven, which was the final bottom line of the Kingdom of Goryeo, and it was also the condition that he firmly believed that he could impress the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty after countless deliberations.
When Kim Ji-hwan read the national letter in Yuwenxu, he said cautiously: "Goryeo is willing to be a vassal state of the Han Empire, and all the kings of Goryeo will accept the canonization of the Han Empire in the future." The Han Empire was allowed to garrison troops in Goryeo, and in the future, it sent the prince to study in the imperial capital. In the future, officials of the Goryeo Kingdom will not be allowed to take office unless they study in the Imperial Palace. ”
There are more contents on the national letter, and it stands to reason that it is inappropriate for Yuwen to read the national letter, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty did not plan to meet the envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom at all, so it is understandable for him to read it.
After reading it, Yuwen said lightly: "This official will hand over the credentials to the Son of Heaven, are you waiting for good news in the imperial capital, or will you meet Goryeo first?" ”
"It's better for the foreign minister to stay in the imperial capital." When the state affairs are still undecided, how dare Kim Ji-hwan leave?
In the afternoon of the same day, Yuwen Xuzhong met with the deputy envoy of Goryeo, the monk Miaoqing, in fact, he didn't want to see this Miaoqing at all, but the Son of Heaven emphasized that he must pay attention to this monk, so he made an exception to meet with this deputy envoy.
Yuwen Xuzhong didn't want to go around in circles, so he said straight to the point: "Your envoy has already submitted his credentials, I don't know Master Miaoqing, what do you want to talk about with this official?" ”
"Poor monks came to the imperial capital, one is for the common people of Goryeo, and the other is for the emperor of the Han Dynasty." Miao Qing is so mysterious, he knows that if he can't see the Son of Heaven, it's useless to say anything, how can he easily say his true intentions in this situation?
"For my emperor, it's a pure joke."
"It's not a joke, Goryeo has already lost half of the country, and if you go to war with the Jin Kingdom for the sake of Goryeo, it seems to be bad for the Han Dynasty. You must know that the Han Dynasty is thousands of miles away from our Goryeo, and in the middle, we have to cross the territory of the Song Kingdom, and we also have to cross the vast ocean, which is too difficult, if it is only for Goryeo to be a vassal state, this deal will not be worth it. Legend has it that the Son of Heaven was once the greatest merchant in the world, and he would never trade at a loss. ”
"Master, you really have sharp teeth, I don't know if you are representing yourself or the monarch of Goryeo?"
"No, it's for the people of Goryeo." Miaoqing knew that it would be difficult to see the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty without convincing the high-ranking official in front of him, so he continued: "The letter of the Goryeo Kingdom is actually a dead letter, once the Han army expells the Jin army, the agreement between the two will be torn up, and at that time, no matter how strong the Han army is, it will not be far to the east." ”
"Master, what do you want to say, please speak up."
"I can only say that I came here for the Son of Heaven, and many things can only be said to the Son of Heaven, please go to the official."
Obviously, this Miaoqing in front of him is the kind of ruthless character who doesn't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, in this case, Yuwen Xuzhong can only say: "Master, you wait a few days, Rong Benguan must report to you, as for whether the Son of Heaven can see you, that accumulation is your creation." ”
The next day, in Hanyang Palace, Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, met Miaoqing.
"People outside the party see the Son of Heaven of the Great Han." Miaoqing didn't know why when she saw the Son of Heaven of the Great Han, she had a feeling of unease in her heart, and the opposite person was not just a great power Son of Heaven, but a top master, a master who was enough to become the number one in the world.
"The master is polite, if you have anything to say, I don't like to beat around the bush, I have already read the national book of Goryeo, and I have not considered the concerns you said. Let's put it bluntly, what do you want to get, and what can you give to the big man. Remember, I only listen to it once. If you can't think about it, don't mention it, I won't listen to it a second time. ”
Miaoqing felt a cold sweat on his back, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "The iron cavalry of the Great Han is destined to sweep the world, and if Goryeo contains the Jin Kingdom, it will definitely be beneficial for the Great Han to dominate the world." Besides, hundreds of miles away from Goryeo is the Wa Kingdom, where the folk customs have not yet been civilized, and no matter how strong the Han Iron Cavalry is, it is difficult to fight across the sea. Goryeo's combat power is indeed unable to catch up with the Jin State, nor can it catch up with the Han Dynasty. However, if the Han Dynasty provided strong support, it was not impossible to destroy the Wa Kingdom. ”
"Miaoqing, I really didn't misunderstand you, let's say, what is your ambition."
"Goryeo, the Wa Kingdom became the Great Han Kingdom, and Buddhism is the state religion, and the poor monks are the national teachers, and they are the national teachers who are full of words."
"Very well, I don't need you to write anything, but I will give you a decree to make sure you act with sufficient authority. The Great Han Iron Cavalry will only go out once, to drive away the Jin Guo Iron Cavalry, Goryeo still needs you to do it yourself, what support do you need to provide, you and the Iron Blood Hall's Xianggong docks, and the specific Lord Yuwen will help you coordinate. Don't let me down, when you have the ability to control Goryeo, I will tour Goryeo in the east, whether to give you a crush or destroy you, it's up to you, and the Han won't interfere too much before. ”
"Thank you, Lord Long."
Miaoqing claimed to be a minister, which showed that he accepted the conditions offered by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. You must know that the Han Iron Cavalry is not capable of going out to destroy the rebellious thieves, but there are a group of top masters with extremely high kung fu under the command of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and if they want to get rid of themselves, it is simply easy, at this time, Miaoqing has no intention of resisting at all.
Before coming to Dahan, Miaoqing just wanted to use the Dahan Iron Cavalry, but when he met the Son of Heaven of Dahan, when facing this world's number one master, he found that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery would not succeed.
Miaoqing didn't know how she came out, she felt top-heavy, her legs were heavy, and her back was soaked. He knew that it was better to suppress his ambition for a short time, otherwise he would die before he became a national teacher.
Not long after Miaoqing left, Liu Zhenglong ordered the palace maid to invite Concubine Xiao.
After listening to Liu Zhenglong, Concubine Xiao said: "Your Majesty, you mean to support this Miaoqing, I'm afraid this is an unfamiliar dog." ”
"I came to you, just to let you inform Xiao Yi to take a dragon tooth team to Goryeo to lurk, this task may be a few months, or a few years, or even a lifetime, Xiao Yi needs to volunteer, so you should go and explore."
Emotionally, Concubine Xiao Hong didn't want Xiao Yi to go to Goryeo, but she knew that it was about the Han Dynasty's ambition to dominate the industry, so she could only agree.
Liu Zhenglong knew that Xiao Hong was a little unhappy, so he said: "Concubine Ai, it's not that I sent Xiao out, but when the Han Dynasty is expanding its territory, all the royal relatives and relatives need to go out to make meritorious contributions and fight for the Han Dynasty." The situation in Goryeo is complicated, and that Miaoqing is not a good type, if there is no master like Xiao Yi to suppress the formation, it is easy to make trouble. The Han Dynasty was too far away from Goryeo, and it was difficult for the Han Iron Cavalry to conquer it, so the deterrent power was more realistic than the crusade. ”
"Your Majesty, you don't need to explain, the concubine understands." Xiao Hong now also knows that the Son of Heaven has no immediate family, all his relatives are family, and the emperor's relatives are going to fight for the Han Dynasty, not to sit back and enjoy their success. Besides, Master Xiao Yi is not suitable for enjoying happiness in the capital, and prefers a free and easy life.
After the demon monk Miaoqing returned to the post house, the first thing he thought about was to win over Jin Zhihuan, knowing that Jin Zhihuan was the person of the national abbot Li Ziqian. Originally, Miaoqing didn't have Jin Zhihuan in his plan at all, and he didn't take this guy seriously, but after seeing the Son of Heaven, he suddenly had the intention of wooing, you must know that although this guy doesn't have great skills, he can be used at critical moments.
The monk does not drink, but does not include the demon monk Miaoqing, he personally feasted Kim Zhihuan, in fact, the two represent two different factions, Miaoqing represents the king of Goryeo Wang Kai, and Jin Zhihuan represents the national abbot Li Zixun, the relationship between the two is not good, but because they have a common hobby, many times they can still talk about together.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Miaoqing seemed to be drunk and drunk, and asked unconsciously: "Lord Jin, what do you think of the big man?" ”
"Master, what do you mean?" Jin Zhihuan drank an average amount of alcohol, and he was a little drunk, and he said with a smile: "If you talk about prosperity, the imperial capital is far inferior to Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and if you talk about military power, the Han State can't catch up with the Jin State." However, if it is a comprehensive evaluation, the Han State will eventually defeat the Jin State and dominate the world. ”
"Oh, why did Lord Jin say this, the poor monk is willing to listen to the high opinion." Miaoqing personally filled Jin Zhihuan with wine, and he said with a smile: "Actually, whoever is strong has little to do with us Goryeo, for us, being able to expel the Jin army and ensure the peace of Goryeo is the last word, and everything else is floating clouds." ”
Jin Zhihuan said unhurriedly: "The Han State was established by military force, but it was not as reckless as the Jin State, the government was harmonious, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, although it was located in the northwest and was relatively barren, but the Han Emperor was rich in the world, and the Han business was even deeper into various fields, and even our Goryeo had the Han Chamber of Commerce." The Han army protected the Chamber of Commerce and caused it to expand wildly. Even now all countries use Han silver coins to trade, which indicates that the Han State is stuck in the necks of the countries, especially the less economically developed Jin State. The several defeats suffered by the Jin army were all given by the Han army, so I think it will be the Han state, not the Jin state, that will unify the world in the future. ”
Miaoqing understood all these great truths, but he just opened the topic, and he took the opportunity to ask: "Then do you think that the Han will send troops because of the national letter to help Goryeo drive the Jin army?" ”
"It is estimated that it is difficult, the Han is too far away from Goryeo, and if you send troops, it can be said that you will lose money and money, and it will be difficult to get benefits in the end. After all, there are too few troops stationed to solve the problem, there are too many, and the attrition is too serious. Besides, there is still a Song State in the middle, and sending troops is a problem. ”
"Since you think so, then why did the Guozhang send you an envoy, wouldn't it be in vain, and he also brought in the two noble ladies of the Guozhang family, wouldn't it be impossible to steal chickens and rice."
"That can't be said, whether the Han sends troops or not, it will be meaningful to Goryeo in the end, and it is entirely possible to know that the Han State can put pressure on the Jin State to slow down the attack. Besides, now Tuo Junjing has put too much pressure on Guozhang, and he can just take advantage of the heroic style of the Han Dynasty to put pressure on Tuo Junjing. As long as the situation is stabilized, we can be invincible, and when the Han-Kim War begins, we can counterattack and expel the Jin army from Goryeo. ”
This argument is not said by Kim Ji-hwan, the king of Goryeo, Wang Kai, the palace master of Shundeok, and Miaoqing all see it this way. Everyone firmly believes that the Han is very important to Goryeo, the only difference is that Miaoqing firmly believes that the Han will send troops, and will definitely help Goryeo expel the Jin army, of course, all this must be solved by Goryeo first, at least the problems of the two powerful elites of Li Zixuan and Tuo Junjing must be solved, otherwise the Han army will not land rashly in the case of Goryeo's civil strife.
After all, Miaoqing is a monk and has not entered the official career, so of course he sees the problem differently than those scheming old foxes. Moreover, everyone's plans are also different, and he firmly believes that as long as the King of Han approves of his plan, he will definitely send troops and expel the Jin army.
"You said that if the king and the prince finally fall out and there is a fire, which side will the palace master of Shunde stand on?"
Seeing that the poor dagger has finally reached the core content, Monk Miaoqing has already made up his mind, if he can't convince Jin Zhihuan, he will solve this guy's life on the way back to China, and he can't let this fool spoil his big thing.
