Goryeo, the opening of the capital of the city.

In the imperial city, the lights are bright, and the lights are a little dim yellow through the tulle.

There was a pale young man lying on the dragon couch, and several middle-aged people wearing high-ranking official uniforms of Goryeo knelt below.

This is the current monarch of Goryeo, Wang Mata, who is already the sixteenth monarch of Goryeo, and it has been 17 years since he ascended the throne. After he ascended the throne, he was named the lord of Goryeo by the Liao, but he always called himself emperor.

Although Goryeo accepted the canonization of the suzerain, it had long adopted a royal system similar to that of the Central Plains Dynasty, which was quite a "foreign king and an inner emperor". The king of Goryeo called himself "I", and the king's orders were called "edict", "system", and "holy decree"; The heir to the king is called the "crown prince"; The king's mother was called the "Queen Mother", the capital was called the "Imperial City" and "Imperial Capital", and the King of Goryeo was honored as "Your Majesty", "Emperor", "Son of Haedong", etc.

That is, he pretends to be a grandson, but he likes to laugh at himself when he closes the door, what to shout.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Li Ziqian wrote to me to declare war on the Jin people. This fang... Harboring evil intentions. When I ascended the throne, the Jurchens were weak, and the emperor instructed me to inherit his legacy and continue the Northern Expedition against the Jurchens. ”

"The first emperor was far-sighted, and he had long seen that once the Jurchens rose, they would be unstoppable, and now it has come true. I had to return the nine northeastern cities to the Jurchens. Now that the Jin and Song Dynasty are fighting, Da Liao has withdrawn gloomily, although I have repaired the Great Song Dynasty, but I don't know who can win this battle.

"The Jurchens are so brave, if they rashly declare war, won't they be burned."

The white-haired old minister at the bottom is Yin Qiang, a servant of the Goryeo sect, who once led the Goryeo soldiers and horses, the Northern Expedition to the Jurchens, and conquered the nine cities in the northeast.

He said in a deep voice: "Li Ziqian flattered the powerful ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the ancestral hall was changed, he only cared about making good friends with the Song people, where did he care about the life or death of our Goryeo." Although Your Majesty is relieved, there are old ministers here, and he doesn't dare to do anything. ”

At this time, there was a panic outside, and a palace man pushed the door in, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Li Ziqian, Marquis of Shaocheng, bring someone into the palace!" ”

Wang Yu coughed violently, trembling with anger, at this time Yang Ziqian had already rushed to the palace, he glanced at the two old ministers kneeling on the ground, snorted coldly disdainfully, and then hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, why haven't you declared war yet?" In addition, the minister was ordered to come back and ask His Majesty to recruit and raise the national husband from Tianjin Port to Danzhou and carry the baggage. ”

Yin Qian stood up and scolded angrily: "Li Ziqian, do you want to rebel? You are a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty or a courtier of His Majesty. ”

"Under Yang Ziqian, he is both a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty and a courtier of His Majesty, don't you know that the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo are both clansmen and brothers?"

Rao is Yin Qian is well-informed, and he has never seen such a person, he is a veteran in the army, strong, although gray hair, but still brave.

In a hurry, he stepped forward to catch this scum, and Yin Qian was full of fists and feet. Yang Ziqian, who has always looked down on him, was not afraid at all and sneered.

It wasn't until Yin Qian came over that he dodged lightly, slapped his back with a palm, and Yin Qian suddenly fell to the ground.

Yang Ziqian knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this person has no royal law, and openly attacked his colleagues in front of the emperor, and the minister asked His Majesty to be the master of the minister." ”

Who said that shameless people have no ability... Yang Ziqian read poetry and books at a young age, and his literary skills were outstanding, and he later joined the army, with great achievements, and now he is a powerful minister, and everyone has forgotten the former general.

Goryeo implemented an aristocratic gate system, somewhat similar to the Han Dynasty, where powerful families cultivated their children, often both civil and military.

They practiced a strict social hierarchy, which could be divided into four levels: noble, two-class, beloved, and slut. The nobles of the gate lords married each other, monopolized the state politics, and enjoyed the privilege of tax exemption and exemption from military service. There are about fifteen of the top aristocratic gate valves, and they have been in control of the government for a long time.

Yang Ziqian's family was originally one of the major branches, but now he has changed his surname.

Wang Yu was lying on the dragon couch, the roots of his teeth itching, and his chest was even more uncomfortable.

Yang Ziqian had no fear, and he expected that the lord of the country would not dare to deal with him, because the entire Goryeo would not dare to offend the Great Song Dynasty.

"Come on, take Li Ziqian down and wait for it to be released!"

Wang Yu trembled, his face was ruddy, he got up, and shouted loudly by holding the head of the bed.

The surrounding courtiers and palace people were all overjoyed, His Majesty had been sick in bed for many years, but he didn't expect to sit up tonight, and he was so powerful.

In the middle of the door on the ground, Yin Qian cried with joy and crawled over, and the guards entered the hall, set up Yang Ziqian, and took him out.

Yang Ziqian didn't panic at all, just smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, please think twice." ”

---

Youyan, the upper reaches of the canal, was completed today.

The riverside was crowded with people, and at the front was a huge stone monument, half buried in the earth.

Yang Lin and Zhang An and other officials of the River Governance Division were holding a shovel, and they were all smiling very happily.

"Burying the monument here today is a prosperous era through the ages, and you have worked hard!" Zhang An said with a laugh.

Yang Lin glanced at him, sighed and said, "Finally finished digging for me, your river management division is like throwing money, and the treasury has been emptied." If I can't dig it up, I really can't afford it. ”

Yang Lin is not completely joking, when the New Deal was the most difficult, he had already thought of going to the South China Sea to colonize and plunder property.

All the officials laughed, and Zhang An was even more triumphant, "Shaozai, this river merit is in the present generation, and the benefits are in the future, it is a gift for us to give Shaozai the crown." ”

The officials of Hebei Province are the happiest, as soon as the river is opened, the north and the south are connected, and Hebei is no longer a closed place where the road is difficult to travel.

It is conceivable that this place will gradually recover its vitality, and the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty were too damaged, digging the Yellow River in Hebei and planting giant trees, making Hebei, which has always been rich, a poor and remote land.

Yang Lin looked around and said, "Then let's start, shall we?" ”

The officials echoed one after another, Yang Lin waved a shovel, and everyone shoveled soil together to bury the inscription.

Outside, the salute was loud, the gongs and drums were loud, and the onlookers and the people all cheered, especially the people who were digging the river.

Just when everyone was jubilant at this ferry, a personal soldier ran over, attached to Yang Lin's ear, and said loudly: "Shaozai, Goryeo has changed dramatically. ”

"What? What Leigh? Yang Lin smiled and celebrated with everyone as he asked.

The soldiers raised their voices again and shouted: "Shaozai, the lord of Goryeo, Wang Mata, died of illness, Yang Ziqian was arrested and imprisoned, and the country was in turmoil. ”

It turned out that the prince of Goryeo, Wang Kai, was born to Yang Ziqian's daughter, and many people in the court accused him of being angry with the lord of the country, and his grandson was not suitable to be the lord of the country again.

There are also many people who insist that the prince cannot be changed, the two sides do not give in to each other, and the country is in chaos.

Yang Lin threw the shovel and said with a smile: "Thief bird, bullied our Yang family." ”
