Chapter 610: The Imperial Study

Jin Can's head was full of white hair, and he was extremely old, but at this moment, he was helping Wang Kai, who was only in his twenties, towards the Yanjing Palace.

The Yanjing Palace is magnificent, and there are many guards inside.

From time to time there were walking officials on the road, all of whom looked hurried, and when they saw them, they only glanced twice, and quickly continued on their way.

Along the way, you can see quite a few palaces, and many of them have signs hanging at the doors, which are obviously where different institutions of the imperial court are located.

In addition to the guards and ministers, there are also some servants cleaning the palace and sorting out the seedlings!

There don't seem to be eunuchs or palace maids in the entire palace, which makes Jin Can unbelievable! Of course, a small number of palace maids are in the harem, and he doesn't know.

"The agriculture, commerce and engineering of the Great Song Dynasty are far beyond Goryeo, and the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Great Song Dynasty are also concentrating on state affairs, there are no eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and the sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing can not be heard. Such a powerful power appeared in the Central Plains, how could Goryeo be their opponent? Jin Can said secretly.

Wang Kai next to him had no intention of looking at the surrounding scene at the moment, he was terrified in his heart, his body was constantly trembling, his face was pale, and the clothes on his back were wet with cold sweat! As the king of the fallen country, he really didn't know what kind of outcome he was going to face.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the surroundings became quiet.

There was a jungle in front of them, and there was a path between the jungles, and they passed through the path, and it seemed that they had come to a garden, and in the middle of the garden was a palace, which was the imperial study where Zhao Chen's office was! It can be said that this is the heart of the Great Song Empire.

"Your Majesty Xuan Wang Kai, Jin Can's Audience!" Came to the gate of the palace, and after a little briefing, a guard walked out and said.

Wang Kai's feet were weak and he could barely stand up, while Jin Can tidied up his clothes a little, and then helped Wang Kai into the imperial study.

True to its name, the study has a huge bookshelf with lots of books, both new and old! This bookshelf almost occupies the space of a wall!

On the other wall, there are several maps, including an overview of the world, maps of Yanyun and the Central Plains, maps of the Mongolian steppe in the north, the Kipchak steppe, and Central Asia, maps of Goryeo and Dongying, and maps of Dali and Vietnam.

There is also a sword hanging on the wall, which is Zhao Chen's Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword! In the other direction is where the windows are located.

There was a table in the room, on which there were books, documents, pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and a young man sat behind the table and worked hard to write.

There is also a row of chairs in the room, and there is also a coffee table in the middle of the chairs, which is used to entertain guests.

Other than that, there was nothing else superfluous in the room.

Jin Can stayed there, he couldn't believe it, is this where the Great Song Emperor dealt with political affairs?

There is no luxurious arrangement here, there are no countless eunuchs and palace maids to serve, and there are no utensils to play with, how can this be a place for the emperor to stay?

In the royal palace of Goryeo, every place where the king of Goryeo could go was ten times more luxurious!

It's a place to really do politics, not a place to enjoy it!

Jin Can only began to look at Zhao Chen at this moment!

Zhao Chen is only nineteen years old this year, but he does not have the slightest childishness, some are just heroic and calm, when Zhao Chen felt Jin Can's gaze and looked up at Jin Can, Jin Can only felt that Shenmu was like electricity, and he couldn't help but lower his head at the moment, and he was slightly shocked in his heart.

"Goryeo's criminal minister Wang Kai see Your Majesty!" Wang Kai had already knelt down hurriedly at this time, and his voice trembled.

Jin Can was taken by Zhao Chen's gaze just now, and when he heard Wang Kai's voice at this moment, he immediately reached out to pull Wang Kai.

"Master Kim, what are you doing here?" Wang Kai broke free of Jin Can and said.

"King, you are the lord of Goryeo, you don't have to kneel to him!" Jin Can said stubbornly.

And Wang Kai ignored Jin Can, and still knelt down to Zhao Chen and bowed nine times.

"Let's get flat!" Zhao Chen said.

Wang Kai stood up with a worried face.

"You two may be seated." Zhao Chen said.

"The sinners don't dare." Wang Kai said.

"Let you sit down, and you will sit down, without fear or politeness." Zhao Chen said.

Wang Kai sat down nervously, while Jin Can stood beside Wang Kai.

"You two came all the way from Goryeo, did anyone treat you badly?" Zhao Chen said.

"All the generals treated each other with courtesy, and the guilty ministers were grateful." Wang Kai hurriedly said.

"That's good." Zhao Chen smiled and said.

"Da Song Tianzi, I have something to ask you!" Jin Can suddenly shouted.

"What words? Please! Zhao Chen said.

"I, Goryeo, have already bowed down to the Great Song Dynasty and become a subject state of the Great Song Dynasty, why did the Great Song suddenly use troops against my Goryeo?" Jin Can said angrily.

"Bow down? Tributary? These are just nominal! In the past two years, you Goryeo have continued to recruit men into the army, and you took advantage of our war with the Jurchens to send troops to occupy the land of Liaodong! After Cui Zhuo and the others were captured by my Great Song Dynasty, they were so ambitious that they even said that they wanted to restore Goguryeo! If you threaten us, we can only use our troops! Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Your Majesty atons for your sins! Your Majesty's atonement! Wang Kai heard Zhao Chen's cold voice, and hurriedly knelt down again, and said in fear.

"Your Majesty, please get up!" Zhao Chen smiled and motioned for Wang Kai to continue to sit down.

His expression softened, and Wang Kai dared to continue to sit down, but he was even more apprehensive in his heart.

"In any case, you can't explain it to the world!" Jin Can gritted his teeth and said.

"There are some people in Goryeo who are ambitious, but it is not the king's sin, I was originally going to demote the king to a prince, but after thinking about it carefully, I decided to still appoint the king as the king of Goryeo!" Zhao Chen ignored Jin Can, but looked at Wang Kai and said.

"Ahh Wang Kai was stunned for a moment.

"In the future, the king will live in Yanjing City, and all the treatment will be the same as that of the king of the Great Song Dynasty, and his children can also be knighted! Within a radius of 200 miles around this Yanjing City, the king can go anywhere he wants! If you want to go farther away, then you have to report to the court, what does the king think? Zhao Chen said.

"This ...... It's true? Wang Kai said in disbelief.

"You have no jokes!" Zhao Chen said.

"You're not going to kill me? Won't I be held in a small compound? Won't I be allowed to do farm work and do hard work? Wang Kai hurriedly asked.

"Of course not! There are many treasures in the Goryeo Imperial Palace, but a large part of them are people's fat and people's ointment, which will be used for the construction of Goryeo, and the remaining part can be returned to you, which is still a huge amount of property, at least one million taels of silver, enough for you to spend for several lifetimes! The imperial palaces in Kaijing and Pyongyang were owned by the Great Song Dynasty, but I can assign you a manor outside Yanjing City, and I will also prepare a mansion for you in Yanjing City, you can live in a mansion or an outside manor, and how you live in the future depends on yourself! If you like to write poetry and paint, then you can play around, then play around, if you are bored and want to find something to do, I can also arrange it for you, in short, everything is up to you. Zhao Chen said.

"Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, what are you going to do?" Jin Can said sharply again.

"Mr. Jin, you are a Goryeo Confucian, I heard Wu Jue and Yue Fei say, you are the only loyal minister in Goryeo, you will follow the king of Goryeo in the future! There are many schools in Yanjing City, and you can also go to the school hall if you want! By the way, my lord, there is one more thing I want to tell you, I have a royal sister, born to my imperial uncle King Hui, who is twenty-eight years old, virtuous and dignified, and I am ready to marry the princess to you, as your concubine, are you willing? Zhao Chen said.

"Wechen is willing." Wang Kai hurriedly said.

"From now on, we will be a family! Regarding the battle of Goryeo, I am ready to tell the world that it is Choi Zhuo's crime! If it weren't for Cui Zhuo bewitching the king, it would be impossible for you to use troops against Liaodong. Zhao Chen said.

"Yes, that's right! Cui Zhuo really deserves death! Speaking of Cui Zhuo, Wang Kai gritted his teeth and said.

Now the most hated thing in Wang Kai's heart is Cui Zhuo! He felt that the reason why he had fallen to such a point was because of Cui Zhuo!

"I sent troops to Goryeo just to get rid of traitors, but the king himself felt that governing Goryeo was too tiring, so he handed over Goryeo to the Great Song Dynasty to govern together, but this is the truth?" Zhao Chen said.

"Not bad, not bad!" Wang Kai nodded again.

"The king will be the vassal king of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, no longer have to worry about state affairs, and he can enjoy life to the fullest in the future! Someone, send the King of Goryeo and Mr. Kim out, and let the Military Aircraft Department arrange the residence of the King of Goryeo and Mr. Kim! As for the property of the Goryeo Imperial Palace, I will borrow it for the time being, and now I will give the king 100,000 taels of silver first, and send the remaining 900,000 taels to the king's mansion within ten years! Zhao Chen said.

Wang Kai and Jin Can have left, Zhao Chen stood by the map and pondered, he didn't embarrass Wang Kai and Jin Can, it was because there was no need for this! Moreover, there is indeed nothing wrong with these two people, one is just a mediocre king, and the other is a Goryeo Confucian, there is no need to kill them, leaving them can show the grandeur of the new dynasty, and at the same time use them to buy people's hearts! If these two people are killed, I am afraid that many Koreans will rise up and resist.

"Someone, find Wang Shu!" Zhao Chen said.

******

After a quarter of an hour, Wang Shu came to the imperial study.

"These days, the Military Aircraft Department is discussing the governance of Goryeo, what is the result now?" Zhao Chen said.

"Regarding the governance of Goryeo, the ministers thought that the first step was to divide the political districts first! Goryeo originally had two capitals, four capitals, eight herds, fifty-six prefectures, and twenty counties, just Goryeo, but it was equivalent to the size of Hedong and Guanshan, and there was no need for so many prefectures and counties! The Military Aircraft Department discussed for several days and thought that Goryeo could be divided into fifteen prefectures and counties, and in addition, a Xuanfu envoy could be set up in Goryeo, and the system of Goryeo would be the same as that of Yanyun and the Central Plains! Wang Shu said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

"The second step is culture! Most of the nobles and gentry of Goryeo have learned our Han language, know our Han language, and the affairs of Goryeo are recorded in Chinese characters! The Military Aircraft Department believes that more schools should be set up in Goryeo, so that the poor people of Goryeo can enter schools for free and learn the language and writing of our Han people! We should also make special textbooks about Goryeo! The Goryeo people recognize Jizi as their ancestor, and Jizi was originally a descendant of the Shang Dynasty and was once canonized by King Wu of Zhou. It's all in the books! Let's let the Koreans understand a truth, we are not a foreign invasion, but an orthodox dynasty annexing a place! Wang Shu said.

"Good!" Zhao Chen said.

"Although the area of Goryeo is not very large, it has a large population, and most of these people do not have land! The area around Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, so we can encourage the Koreans to go to Liaodong, as long as they go to Liaodong, they can get land! There are also people in Jiangnan and Sichuan and Shu who go to Liaodong, and there are also people in the Production and Construction Corps in Liaodong, and when the time comes, we must encourage all ethnic groups to intermarry! Regarding the household registration of the Korean people, we must clearly write it as 'Han'! After ten or twenty years, the young people of Goryeo speak the language of my Han people, and they learn all the books of my Han people, and they have been determined that Goryeo people are also Han blood since they were young, so that Goryeo will naturally belong to my Great Song Dynasty! Also, we are going to station navies on Ganghwa Island, Jeju Island, Tsushima Island, etc., and these navies are all Han Chinese, so it will be foolproof! We also want to allow the Koreans to participate in the imperial examinations, so that the Koreans can really feel that they are really Han Chinese, just like us. Wang Shu said.

"Yes, similar policies can be used for Dali and Annan! Because these places are different from the barbarians, they all once accepted the rule of our Han people, and a large part of their citizens migrated from all over the Central Plains, and they also used our Han language! Zhao Chen looked at the map in front of him and said with a smile.

"Exactly, if Goryeo, Dali, Annam and other places return to the Great Song Dynasty, my Great Song Dynasty will have a population of 10,000, which is several times that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the breadth of the territory will truly surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties!" Wang Shu said excitedly.

"The world has been fighting for several years, and now, the Great Song Dynasty has no external troubles, but many of our fundamental systems have not yet been determined! The Military Aircraft Department was originally set up to deal with the war, and now it can no longer be called the Military Aircraft Department, and the responsibilities of the Military Aircraft Department also need to be subdivided. In addition, in the past, the world was divided into 23 roads, but now we occupy Yanyun, Shangjing, Zhongjing, Liaodong, and Goryeo, and the Tibetan tribes have also surrendered to us, and the political regions of the world should also be redivided! In addition, the country's industry, agriculture and commerce cannot develop blindly, there should be certain goals and plans, and we must not get by like the previous dynasties and generations, and these also need to be formulated! I intend to summon local ministers, generals in the army, important leaders of the Production and Construction Corps, and people with prestige from all over the country to come to Yanjing to discuss this matter! Zhao Chen said.

Say:

The second chapter was written for a long time, and I changed it again and again, and I was never satisfied. There is only one chapter left today. Three chapters tomorrow. I'm sorry.
