Chapter 1204: Hooked
In the post house, the same singing and dancing Shengping, Wang Mu knelt on the thick cushion, watching the dance in front of him, and there was a smile on his face, although this kind of kneeling in the Central Plains disappeared for many years, Wang Mu was still a little unaccustomed to it at first, but looking at the beauty in front of him, the little discomfort in his heart disappeared without a trace. Jin Fushi also knelt on the side with a smile, whispering something to Wang Mu, and the two let out bursts of laughter from time to time.
After returning from the Chongguang Palace, Wang Mu was arranged in the post house in Kaesong, accompanied by the minister Jin Fushi personally, Jin Fushi summoned the famous prostitutes in Beijing to accompany him, no matter what kind of person Wang Mu is, but at least a man, in the Chongguang Palace, Jin Fushi saw something from the sidelines, leaving the Chongguang Palace, he even had a plan.
"Angel, these songs and dances may be eye-catching?" Jin Fushi said with a smile.
"It's different from the women of the Central Plains, well, it's good, it's good, it's delicate, it's in the land of Goryeo, it's the same as the rumors." Wang Mu touched his beard and said: "Back in the Tang Dynasty, there were rumors that Goryeo women were charming and good deeds, even now, the Central Plains people have a lot of thirst for Goryeo women!" "Goryeo women are gentle, know how to serve people, as long as it is a man, no one does not like it, this tradition has appeared since the Tang Dynasty, the emperors often reward the gentle and beautiful Goryeo women to meritorious soldiers, and Goryeo women have also been loved by men in the Central Plains. In this respect, the "Hahan" of the Central Plains actually began in the Tang Dynasty, but the meaning of this "Hahan" is somewhat different.
"If you like it, just bring some with you when you go back to China." Jin Fushi said nonchalantly. For a high-ranking official like Goryeo, he doesn't look down on the women of his country, but he admires the women of the Central Plains very much, thinking that the other party is a noblewoman.
"Nonsense, this official is just a courtier, where can he be treated like this?" Wang Mu originally wanted to respond, but when he thought that he was just a courtier, he immediately reprimanded him with some dissatisfaction.
"Oh, yes, yes, look at what the lower official said, I believe that the king will definitely be prepared, and Your Majesty can rest assured." Jin Fushi suddenly realized that Wang Mu didn't want it, but he was a courtier, and if he went to another country, he would bring some Silla maids back, and he would definitely be criticized by the courtiers, but if some of this was dedicated to the Son of Heaven, then there was nothing to say.
"Your Majesty is merciful, although you are in the Central Plains, but you are concerned about the situation of your Goryeo, the king of Goryeo has been serving the Central Plains since the beginning of the ancestors, some time ago, there were business trips between the Central Plains and Goryeo, I heard that the king of Goryeo was imprisoned, His Majesty was very surprised, so he asked the official to come and take a look, hehe, sure enough!" Wang Mu touched his beard, waved his hand, and saw the entourage around him and drove the dancing girls out.
Wang Mu naturally won't let go of the things that are about to arrive, but he also knows that the severity of the matter is eased, and at this time, only after the errand is done well, can he enjoy the rest. Some things are not easy to say in front of the King of Goryeo, but the Jin Fushi in front of him is obviously a henchman of the King of Goryeo, and he came after him, so I am afraid he is also talking about this matter.
"Your Majesty!" After hearing this, Jin Fushi's heart was moved, and he knelt down in the direction of Bianjing, crying bitterly. Whether it is sincere, or deliberately acting like this, at the very least, it has won Wang Mu's appreciation.
"Lord Kim, get up! The deference of the whole country of Goryeo, after the official returns, he will report to the Son of Heaven, but although His Majesty is merciful and treats all the people as children, Goryeo itself does not pay tribute to His Majesty, and His Majesty is not good at interfering in the internal affairs of Goryeo, otherwise, it can only cause the disgust of the people of Goryeo, and His Majesty will not do this kind of thing. Wang Mu Zhengrong said.
Jin Fushi listened with a sad look on his face, although the top and bottom of Goryeo wanted to get rid of the control of the Jin people and become a vassal of the Central Plains, and the king of Goryeo also had such thoughts, but everything in the country was in the hands of Li Ziqian, and the military and political power was obviously impossible without Li Ziqian's consent, and if he wanted to surrender to the Central Plains, he first had to bring down Li Ziqian. But can this work? Jin Fushi suddenly hesitated.
"It seems that Lord Jin and the King of Goryeo are just playing tricks on me?" Seeing this, Wang Mu's face was gloomy, and he sneered: "Don't you want to make a private deal with the Jin people, and do a two-sided strategy!" If this is the case, after my Tang Dynasty destroys the Jin State in the coming year, the next thing is to eliminate Goryeo, and at that time, it will be impossible for Goryeo to be a vassal. ”
"No, no, Lord Wang misunderstood, misunderstood, even if the people of Goryeo have the courage to fool Shangbang, but, it's just that the power in this country is in the hands of Li Ziqian, and the same is true for military power, if the king agrees to surrender to the Central Plains, don't say the throne, I'm afraid even my life will not be guaranteed." Jin Fushi's face changed greatly, Li Jing is the last hope of the king of Goryeo, how can he be offended?
"Then defeat him, I believe that you King Goryeo still has some troops in his hands." Wang Mu pretended to be casual and said: "Hehe, no, you want my Tang Dynasty to send troops to help you defeat Li Ziqian!" ”
Jin Fushi was originally still in some embarrassment, but when he heard Wang Mu say this at this time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but say: "Lord Wang is wise, if Datang can send troops to defeat Li Ziqian, I, Gaoli, regard Datang as a reborn parent, and I will always be a subordinate and never betray." "My own strength is not enough, if I let Datang send troops, defeat Li Ziqian, and then let Wang Kai take power, it would be a good thing.
"Hehe, Lord Jin, Lord Jin, you Goryeo is really a good calculation! My Datang sent troops, labored on expeditions, suffered countless losses, and finally cheapened you, where is there such a good thing in this world? Wang Mu couldn't help but sneered: "Do you think that I am a fool in the Tang Dynasty?" ”
"I, Gaoli, am willing to pay for grain and grass, pay for money, as long as I can get rid of Li Ziqian and Tuo Junjing, how much money Datang needs, as much grain and grass as I want." Jin Fushi hurriedly argued.
"Pay for food and grass?" Wang Mu pretended to hesitate and said: "The Great Khan of the Central Plains this year, when Your Majesty comes, see if you can buy some grain from Goryeo to go back, but since the King of Goryeo has something else to ask for, I don't think it's as good as this, I Datang sent troops to help you defeat Li Ziqian, and then you support us with some grain, what do you think?" In this way, I, Datang, don't have to pay money, and I don't have to take advantage of you, you can also reduce some losses, and the king of Goryeo can return to power. How is it? ”
"This? I don't know how much grain and grass Datang needs? Jin Fushi's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he couldn't help but say.
"How about 500,000 stone of grain?" Wang Mu thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I believe that such a small amount of grain can still be taken out by the people in Goryeo, after all, there has never been a war in Goryeo for so many years, and there is enough surplus grain in the family." What does Lord Kim think? ”
"This, isn't this 500,000 stone a little more?" Jin Fushi's face changed, what Wang Mu said was the truth, 500,000 Shi Gaoli can still be taken out, but if it can be less, it will be less.
"If you don't take it out, I believe Li Ziqian is very willing to take it out, but he still needs Datang's admission? What do you say, Lord Kim? Wang Mu said coldly, don't be ashamed, then it's no wonder that Wang Mu is gone.
"Give, give, I'm willing to support this fee." Jin Fushi's face was pale and he said without thinking. Wang Mu is right, if Li Ziqian wants to usurp the throne, he lacks the recognition of everyone, if he gets the approval of Li Tang, plus the Jin people behind him, the Goryeo royal family has absolutely no power to resist, and people like Jin Fushi will also be excluded from the aristocratic class, and even their lives will be threatened.
