Chapter Seventy-Two: The Ambassador of Goguryeo

"Ambassador Goguryeo arrives~"

The ministers of the court served, Duan Hongchen sat on the throne, Xu Qi stood aside, and two people wearing wide Hanfu strode in. Xu Qing listened to the court after a curtain behind the broken red dust. Xu Qing thought, the current face of Duan Hongchen must be ugly.

Just because of the Goguryeo people's announcement.

In ancient times, there was a kind of honor that belonged to the kind of minister who was above ten thousand people under one person, and that was to praise and worship the nameless. What is a nameless? In fact, it is also a sore chicken rib Rausch.

Then Xu Qing said that when he went to meet the emperor, the eunuch who entered the announcement would say, "Luonan County Bocang Prefecture Assassin Shi Xu Qing will meet ~", but if the emperor gave Xu Qing the privilege of "praising and worshipping without a name", then the eunuch would say "Luonan County Bocang Prefecture Assassin Shi Audience ~". So it's just a two-word relationship missing.

But just such a chicken rib welfare, in history, there are still many people who rush to it, and even lose their lives for it.

This is the reason why Broken Hongchen's face is ugly. If you give it to you, that's a gift, if you don't give it to you, you want it, that's unruly. You don't have it, but you are here to use it in a grand way, that is a great rebellion!

When Xu Qing was guessing about Broken Hongchen's face, he only heard the Minister of Bohai outside angrily say: "Bold, why don't you worship when you see my king?!" "There is no written language, so the Bohai official dialect is in Chinese, and Xu Qing can naturally understand it.

He listened with sharp ears, only listening to the Goguryeo man's chatter for a while, and a person next to him translated unhurriedly: "The minister of a big country does not worship the king of a small country." ”

Wow~

"Bold, Goguryeo also dares to call itself a great power in the Bohai Sea?!"

"Kill him to make an example!"

"Send his head back and see what the Goguryeo people do!"

"Are the Goguryeo people really so powerful?"

There was an uproar in the court. The ministers were indignant, and some secretly guessed the strength of Goguryeo.

According to the ancient rites, there is indeed such a rule, the ministers of the suzerainty do not need to make big salutes to the sub-kingdom of the sect, and the ministers of the big sect do not have to bow to the monarch of the small sect. However, the Goguryeo people used this article in the Bohai Sea, didn't that directly lower the Bohai Kingdom by one level?

It's like asking you to call your dad to your face, can you bear it?

Whether you can bear it or not, you can't bear it anyway.

Duan Hongchen sneered and said: "Gu Xiang, this kind of words to sow discord, your envoys will not say it, it must be the translator who makes trouble from it!" ”

"Come, drag this translator out and show it to the public!"

At this time, the translator panicked, he was a miscellaneous man, and he didn't know what kind of backbone he had, so he hurriedly knelt down and said: "King, the villain will never dare to sow discord." ”

"Then what you said just now, the ambassador, did you say it yourself?" Duan Hongchen touched his chin and said to the Goguryeo ambassador, meaning, do you have the courage to take the blame yourself?

"You dare! Aren't you afraid of my Goguryeo soldiers? The Goguryeo man was speechless for a while, and he actually spoke Chinese.

Originally, Goguryeo had a lot of intersections with Bohai and Zhongyuan, and all kinds of cultural systems had to be copied from the Central Plains, and it was supposed to be able to speak Chinese, and even some Goguryeo people spoke Chinese more smoothly than Goguryeo. But in order to maintain the dignity of the Goguryeo envoys, they had to pretend to be more high-class.

Broken Hongchen snorted and said viciously: "Hmph! You have to think clearly! ”

By this time, the soldiers had already come up to the two of them, and when they mentioned the translator, they went out. The translator struggled and kept calling for help, shouting "wronged", but the Goguryeo ambassador looked at it but did not dare to save him, once he was saved, it would be to carry the "black cauldron" just now.

The soldiers did not pull any further, and just where the Goguryeo people could see the blood and hear the wailing, the swords in their hands fell, and the blood splashed and the heads rolled.

The Goguryeo ambassador closed his mouth in surprise, tidied up his clothes, and bowed to Duan Hongchen: "Goguryeo minister, meet the King of Bohae." ”

"Get up, sit down~"

Ambassador Goguryeo sat down, Duan Hongchen asked what you are doing, Ambassador Xu Qing Goguryeo stood up again and said: "When your country was in turmoil, my country sent troops to protect the people of your country, but I didn't expect that your country's kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and you actually killed all our soldiers, which is really a mob without humanity!" ”

"Shameless!" Xu Qing scolded behind the curtain, this group of Goguryeo people only sent troops after getting the money and beauties of the three small countries, where is it to protect the people of Bohai? I'm afraid it's not even true to support the three small countries, and it's their mind to rob while it's hot.

"Nonsense, we haven't fought with the Goguryeo soldiers at all!" One of the ministers said righteously that they really didn't know that Xu Qing had exterminated the Goguryeo people, and they only thought that the Goguryeo people had come and left by themselves.

Another chimed in: "Yes, we have been guarding the city, where have we seen the Koreans?" ”

The Goguryeo ambassador turned around and refuted to them: "If you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood are still in place, could it be that my 2,000 Goguryeo soldiers committed suicide?" ”

Another minister stepped forward:

"The ambassador is false, the war in our country is also our own business, why should our people intervene in protection?"

Ambassador Goguryeo said with a smile: "There are four seas in the world, and the people are one family, so where can you divide your country and other countries and our country to protect the people?" Isn't it justified that our country should send troops here? ”

"This ......," the courtiers were speechless for a moment. Xu Qing was so angry behind the curtain that his teeth rattled, isn't this the same meaning that the human rights of the people of the United States are higher than sovereignty? Under this guise, where can you go? But under the guise of this, where do they really care about human rights!

Seeing that no one refuted, the Goguryeo ambassador was proud.

"Sit~" Duan Hongchen asked the Goguryeo ambassador to sit again, waited for his butt to sit down, and asked: "What does your country want?" ”

The Goguryeo ambassador sneered: "Without him, the pension and equipment of the 2,000 Goguryeo children, and all the land east of the Patriarchal Ridge, you can't step into the Bohai Sea." ”

Duan Hongchen said "oh", seemed to remember something, and asked: "When Bohai was restored, he sent envoys over, but he was killed for some reason?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the Goguryeo ambassador was horrified. When sending troops, you can use the banner of protecting the people, but if you kill the envoys, it will be a direct declaration of war. Since it was a direct declaration of war, it was reasonable for him to exterminate 2,000 soldiers and horses of Goguryeo, and he did nothing wrong. Moreover, when Duan Hongchen said this, it must be true, and it can't be fake.

Seeing that the Goguryeo ambassador didn't speak, Duan Hongchen said in a cold tone: "Your country will behead one of my courtiers, and I will also behead one this time, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"You ......" said the Goguryeo ambassador, "I have 100,000 soldiers in Goguryeo, can you resist the front of the soldiers?" ”

The ministers on the side said in unison at this time: "King, think twice......"

Duan Hongchen looked around at the ministers in the court, sighed, and said a word coldly: "Kill!" ”

"King, no, I am at the beginning of the Bohai Sea, and it is time to recuperate......"

"My king is above, and the minister has a word......

"King, those who become big things are not informal, and only by practicing and tasting courage can they break Wu!"

At this time, all the ministers forgot about the humiliation of the Goguryeo ambassador to Bohai and the treachery of the Goguryeo people just now, and all persuaded them to break the red dust. Seeing this situation, the Goguryeo ambassador looked at Duan Hongchen with disdain, meaning, can you go against the will of the minister?

Who knew that Duan Hongchen laughed three times, then stood up and said: "If Gou Jian had a group of courtiers like you back then, then he wouldn't be able to break Wu." ”

"Come on, kill this dog envoy!"

The head of the Goguryeo ambassador fell off, and in full view of everyone, he rolled on the ground in blood.

Xu Qing, who was standing behind the curtain, quietly called Xu Qi over, found that she looked calm and not afraid, shook her head and said, there is really a father and a daughter. After retiring from the dynasty, Duan Hongchen has been guarding his own palace, not coming out, and not letting people in.

The head was picked up, picked up with a spear, and thrown outside. The rest of the Goguryeo mission snatched it out of the mouth of the mad dog in Longquan City and returned to Goguryeo.

In three days, half of the ministers of the court fell ill. On the fifth day, Goguryeo threatened to come to battle with an army of 50,000. The rest of the ministers are almost all gone, and there are still a few hardcores left.

At this time, Duan Hongchen found Xu Qing. Xu Qing fanned the pu fan and fed the fish with chaff grains, Duan Hongchen watched from the side, sighed and said: "I thought that when I returned to Bohai and was unified, I would be able to find the original Bohai country." ”

"And now? Didn't you get it back? ”

"No, although the country has been restored, but the spirit of my children who opened up the territory and fought the heavens and the earth, and never admit defeat has long since disappeared......"

"Fighting the heavens and fighting the earth......" Xu Qing shook his head, isn't that a glorious nation fighting the heavens and the earth? But how many nations are buried in peace?

Xu Qing only said: "Why are you so heroic and short-breathed?" ”

Duan Hongchen shook his head, indicating that he couldn't take it, and he said, "Xu Qing, what you said I did, is it right?" ”

It seems that he still regrets it a little.

Xu Qing nodded and said without hesitation:

"Yes, the Goguryeo people get a foot today, and tomorrow they will have a zhang, a little bit a day, encroaching on the Bohai Sea, and when you have no way to retreat, you will find that the Goguryeo people are really undefeatable."

Duan Hongchen asked again: "However, the Goguryeo 50,000 soldiers are coming, what should I do?" ”

Xu Qing said one word:

"Fight."

"Fifty thousand soldiers, ......"

"Guard."

"They are all gone, I am a king of Bohai, and a courtier is gone."

"Fight, you still have the Dark River."

Duan Hongchen suddenly realized, and the next day he ordered the formation of the Dark River General's Mansion to replace the original Xiangguo Mansion. The Dark River General's Mansion is the Jinyi Guard of the East Factory and the West Factory, and only obeys the orders of the King of Bohai, but this Dark River General's Mansion knows how to handle the affairs of the central government. Locally, it is still by the original bureaucratic system.

The Dark River General's Mansion is held by the members of the Dark River, and the members in Xu Qing's hands are exchanged once a year, integrating supervision, administration, and military management, and the positions in the Dark River General's Mansion are not known to the outside.

Some people say, aren't you afraid that the Dark River General's Mansion is the dominant party, and Jinyiwei was the dominant party back then, which led to the establishment of the East Factory and the West Factory one after another. Xu Qing said, no, as long as the dark river in Xu Qing's hands is not chaotic.

Of course, this system is only temporary, and it will be improved in the future to deal with the situation in which there is no one to use the ministers' collective resignations.

Most of the people in the dark river are proficient in deceit, and when it comes to handling government affairs, they are more efficient than the previous ministers.
