The person in charge of the Dengju Goryeo Pavilion is named Sun Li. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Zhong Hao and his entourage came to the Goryeo Pavilion, Sun Li greeted Zhong Hao very politely.

After Zhong Hao showed his official certificate and the errand appointment document granted by the Political Affairs Hall, Sun Li took Zhong Hao very respectfully to sit in the second hall of the official office of the Goryeo Pavilion.

After the two sat down, after some polite words, Zhong Hao asked very politely: "Sun Guangou, I don't know how many Goryeo envoys have come this time?" Did Sun Guan Gou know their intentions here? "Sun Li's dispatch is called Guan Gou Dengzhou Goryeo Pavilion, so Zhong Hao calls him by his dispatch.

Sun Li is from the Ming Economic Branch, although he has been mixed in the officialdom for more than ten years, but his loose official rank is just a flattering man from the eighth grade, this Guan Gou Dengzhou Gaoli Pavilion official is also an idle errand, usually there is no oil and water, when he meets Zhong Hao, who is from the Jinshi Branch, and is an official of the sixth grade, he is only respectful.

Speaking of the Goryeo Pavilion's official business, there used to be an errand in the Goryeo Pavilion to open a "side dish", and this errand was still quite oily. For those businessmen and students who entered the Great Song Dynasty to do business in Goryeo, if they want to get the "side disk", it is natural to inevitably give some benefits to the official office personnel of the Goryeo officials, otherwise, this "side disk" is afraid that it will be difficult to obtain. Even if the Goryeo Pavilion gave them a "side plate" in order to avoid being told the truth, the destination and route on this side of the plate would be very strict for them. Most of the merchants who wanted to enter the Goryeo of the Great Song Dynasty to do business were rich masters, so naturally in order to avoid being troubled, they had to give some sweetness to the officials of the Goryeo Pavilion. As for those students who studied in Goryeo, most of them were children of Goryeo families who were either rich or noble, and some of the money was indispensable to the officials of the Goryeo Pavilion.

However, since the Great Song Dynasty severed the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo, the Great Song Dynasty did not allow the unofficial Goryeo people to enter the country, but allowed the Goryeo who wanted to leave the Great Song Dynasty. However, the Koreans who want to leave the country don't need to open the "side saucer", they just want to get a boat from the seaside and leave. This "side disc" was mainly to restrict the activities of foreign people such as Koreans in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty. Since the imperial court did not allow unofficial Koreans to enter the country, the errand of issuing a "side disc" in the Goryeo Pavilion was naturally easy to have nothing to do, and naturally there was no oil and water. There weren't many envoys coming, and there was no task to issue a "side disc", so this errand in charge of the official affairs of the Goryeo Pavilion naturally became an errand.

Sun Li was born in the Ming Jingke and was not a genuine jinshi, so his promotion in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty was naturally extremely difficult. Since he was admitted to the Ming Jing Science and Technology Advancement Scholar, it has been more than ten years since he went from an official rank on the ninth grade to an eighth grade. That is, the two levels of official rank in the past ten years.

The Jinshi of the Jinshi Branch is generally awarded at the lowest level from the eighth grade, but most of the Jinshi of the Ming Jingke are of the ninth grade, which is a low starting point, and the difficulty of promotion is still great, so it is said that the Jinshi of the Ming Jingke is very unpromising.

The young eunuch Zhong in front of him, although he is young, is the best Jinshi in the Jinshi department, and now he is already the general of the sixth grade, the young eunuch and the straight lang.

This Young Eunuch Zhong is already a positive sixth grade at such a young age, and he will naturally have a bright future in the future, and it is very likely that he will enter the pavilion to worship the prime minister in more than ten years. And I am afraid that it will be good to be able to rise to the current position of the sixth grade in this life, and this gap between the future and status naturally makes Sun Li treat Zhong Hao respectfully.

At that moment, Sun Li listened to Zhong Hao's words, and said very politely: "Back to Young Eunuch Zhong, this Goryeo envoy has not yet arrived!" ”

When Zhong Hao heard Sun Li's words, he couldn't help but be very surprised: "The Goryeo envoy hasn't arrived yet?!" What's going on? Did you hear that it was not time to arrive at the beginning of last month? ”

Sun Li was also a little confused about this matter, listened to Zhong Hao's words, and hurriedly said: "These Goryeo envoys have indeed not arrived. According to the previous Goryeo liaison officer, it was indeed said that he should have arrived early last month. As for the reason why he didn't arrive on time, the lower officials are not very clear. Xia Guan also took someone to Daoyu Village to inspect Zhao to help when he went to sea, and helped to inquire, but there has been no reply so far. ”

When Zhong Hao heard Sun Li's words, he couldn't help but feel very strange. If you come from Goryeo to Panhai to Dengzhou, it is generally a maximum of ten days to arrive, why since Goryeo sent people to contact, it has been more than a month, and this envoy has not yet arrived. Could it be that Goryeo has changed its mind again?! Unwilling to send an emissary?!

When Zhong Hao asked Sun Li about this possibility, Sun Li pondered for a moment and said, "This possibility is also there, but even if Goryeo doesn't send a messenger, he should send someone to inform him." ”

Sun Li paused for a moment, and then said: "Since the new king of Goryeo ascended the throne, he still admires and respects our Great Song Dynasty very much, and he has the intention of being friendly with the Great Song Dynasty. Although it was due to the vassals of the Great Liao, they could not send official envoys openly, but they had sent envoys several times in private, which was quite a reconciliation with the Great Song Dynasty. If we cancel this visit, we should be informed. ”

After Zhong Hao took over this errand, he still had some understanding of the situation in Goryeo. The new king of Goryeo in Sun Li's mouth is called Wang Hui. Because of the death of his elder brother Hyeonjong of Goryeo and Jeongjong of Goryeo, King Wang Hui of Goryeo was able to ascend the throne.

Zhong Hao was the cultural commissioner of the Song Dynasty in his later life, and he still has a certain understanding of the Goryeo king Wang Hui who restored the relationship with the Great Song Dynasty during his reign, worked hard to reconcile with the Great Song Dynasty, and maintained good exchanges with the Great Song Dynasty. The emblem of the current king of Goryeo is the famous British lord of the Goryeo Dynasty, Goryeo Munjong. Of course, Wenzong was the temple name after his death, and there is no such title now.

The Goryeo Dynasty under the reign of King Munjong of Goryeo entered its heyday since the founding of King Taejo of Goryeo. During his reign, he absorbed a large number of literati and artists from the Song Dynasty to Goryeo as officials and exchange cultures, so as to achieve the purpose of assisting the government and learning the advanced culture of the Song Dynasty, which became a beautiful conversation in the history of cultural exchanges and talent exchanges between the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo.

In order to make the Song people who entered the government have no worries and peace of mind, the king of Goryeo once attached more importance to them than even the officials of his own country. King Hui's personal admiration for Song culture and the number of Song people who came to Lijin during his reign far exceeded that of the kings before and after him. Therefore, the literati of the Song Dynasty, who were struggling at home, wanted to show their ambitions in the temples of Goryeo, and Goryeo also treated these Confucian disciples from the state of etiquette with courtesy.

And these Song people who entered Goryeo did not cause great harm to the Great Song Dynasty like Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, who went to Western Xia to become officials, but under the promotion of these scholars, Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty maintained a good relationship.

Of course, the reason why there is no relationship between the Great Song and Goryeo, and it is not the same as the Song and Xia, is mainly because they do not border, and they have a common enemy, the Khitan.

Zhong Hao listened to Sun Li's words and couldn't help asking, "Then shouldn't it be that Goryeo canceled this mission?" ”

Sun Li smiled bitterly: "This ...... At this time, it is difficult for the lower officials to determine. On the Bohai Sea, pirates are rampant now, Khitan pirates, Goryeo pirates, Japanese pirates, and pirates of our Great Song Dynasty, and even those Jurchens who are not yet fully civilized have also driven their ships to the sea as pirates, which is really a group of demons. It is also possible that the Goryeo envoy was kidnapped or killed by pirates. Of course, it is also possible that Goryeo canceled the mission, and it is also possible that the ship sent to deliver the letter was hijacked or captured by pirates. ”

When Zhong Hao heard Sun Li's words, he couldn't help asking: "Then this is a Khitan pirate, a Goryeo pirate, and this Japanese pirate, Great Song pirate and Jurchen pirate, are there so many merchant ships in the Bohai Sea for them to rob?" ”

Sun Li did the official work of this Goryeo Pavilion, although it was an idle errand, but he also knew a lot about this related thing, and after listening to Zhong Hao's question, he was busy and said: "Since the Denglai Sea Ban, those who have no way or do not have the courage to take this sea route will naturally take other sea routes, and this sea route is a sea route to make huge profits." At the beginning, when Denglai was banned, there were naturally fewer merchant ships, but as many people discovered the huge profits of this sea route, gradually there were more merchant ships in the Bohai Sea. Moreover, in the Bohai Sea, there are not only ships that trade to and from the Great Song Dynasty, but also those from the Khitan to Goryeo, Goryeo to the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa Kingdom, and there are also many merchant ships on the Bohai Sea. Moreover, these pirates in the Bohai Sea are not necessarily only robbing in the Bohai Sea, if there are fewer ships here, they will naturally go to the southern sea.

There are many islands in the Bohai Sea, many of which are occupied by pirates. Although many pirates' nests are here, they may not all be robbed in the Bohai Sea. However, whether it is the Great Song Dynasty or the Khitan, their control over these islands is very limited. Just like among the many islands in the sea area near the north of Dengzhou, in addition to Shamen Island, which is close to Dengzhou, the government still has the ability to govern, and the remaining more than 30 islands are beyond the reach of the government and have no jurisdiction over them, and they are all places where pirates are entrenched. The same is true of the islands south of the Khitan. In fact, our swordfish village in Dengzhou is not so much to prevent the Khitans from attacking across the sea, but to guard against pirates!

Of course, if the Goryeo Kingdom sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty, it would inevitably have to be escorted by many naval ships, and these pirates in the Bohai Sea had never heard of a large number of pirates, most of them were small groups of pirates, and they had never heard of a Goryeo envoy being hijacked or attacked by pirates before. But things in this sea have always been unpredictable, and it is not uncommon for the entire fleet to capsize in the face of strong winds and waves. Although I haven't heard of strong winds and waves recently, no one can say for sure what is happening in this sea! ”

Sun Li has been working for a long time on the official mission of Gou Gaoli Pavilion, and he has a very clear understanding of this related matter. Hearing Zhong Hao's question today, he naturally talked to Zhong Hao about 1510. Of course, this is also to marry this young young eunuch Zhong, after all, this young eunuch Zhong has a bright future in the future, and there is no harm in marrying more prisoners. Besides, it doesn't cost much to talk about it yourself. But his dedication to explaining it shows his kindness and attention to this young eunuch Zhong, which can be regarded as a matter of benefit and expense!

When Zhong Hao heard Sun Li's words, he felt that it was not impossible for this Goryeo envoy to be kidnapped or blocked by pirates. Of course, it is also possible that the Goryeo Kingdom canceled the mission, or that the fleet of the Goryeo envoy capsized in a strong wind and waves, but it is difficult to judge now.

The Goryeo envoy didn't come, so Zhong Hao's errand naturally couldn't be completed, but now he couldn't be sure what happened to the Goryeo envoy, and it seemed that there was no other good way than to wait.

At that time, Zhong Hao asked Sun Li about the situation of Goryeo and the reception of the previous envoys, and when he saw that it was very late, he was afraid that the city gate would be closed, so he said goodbye to Sun Li and prepared to return to the post station.

Sun Li respectfully invited Zhong Hao to live in the Goryeo Pavilion, and said: "Young Eunuch Zhong is staying in our Goryeo Pavilion, waiting for the Goryeo envoy here, and there is no need to go back and forth!" ”

Zhong Hao listened to Sun Li's words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, in addition to the halls and houses that were used as government offices, as well as the courtyard for the Goryeo envoys to live, it was barely able to accommodate people, and the rest of the pavilions had long been dilapidated. Looking at the decaying walls and roof, Zhong Hao was really afraid that if the wind blows, the dilapidated building will collapse again and bury himself underneath.

Sun Li looked at Zhong Hao's face and knew what he was worried about. At that moment, he hurriedly added: "Although the funds of our Goryeo Pavilion are not much, and most of these buildings have not been well repaired and maintained, but the courtyard that received the Goryeo envoy has been repaired and maintained well, after all, this is also a little face of the imperial court." If Young Eunuch Zhong stays, he will naturally stay there! At that time, if the Goryeo envoy comes, you can also communicate nearby! ”

Zhong Hao listened to Sun Li's words and couldn't help but say, "Isn't this okay?!" After all, it was for the Goryeo envoys! ”

Sun Li said with a smile: "The envoy lives in a lot of courtyards, and this Goryeo envoy only comes once in several years, and it is a waste to be idle." This Goryeo has even severed the relationship with the Great Song Dynasty, they sent envoys, and it would be good for our Great Song Dynasty to receive them, just give them a place to live. Hehe, don't hide it from Young Eunuch Zhong, the officials and scribes of our Goryeo Pavilion also use this Goryeo envoy's residence as a house. After all, the place where people can live in our Goryeo Pavilion is that courtyard! ”

When Zhong Hao came just now, he saw that the building in the courtyard where the Goryeo envoy lived was well repaired, and he felt that staying here could save him the trouble of running back and forth compared to staying at the post station, and he also saved himself from worrying about the situation that after the city gate was closed, if something happened and he couldn't get out. At that moment, Zhong Hao also agreed to Sun Li's invitation.
