268 Scares people

Li Buqi looked at the envoys who went to Tamna: "I don't know what poems those people on Tamna Island wrote to satirize the Great Song Dynasty?" Do you remember? ”

The envoy stared at Li Buqi so much that he hurriedly avoided Li Buqi's gaze and said, "It's unbearable, and it pollutes Your Majesty's ears when you say it above the Golden Palace." ”

Li Buqi said: "You must always know yourself and your opponent when doing things." How can you make a rash conclusion on a major military matter just because you say 'it is unpleasant'? If you don't remember, then I have to ask Your Majesty to send someone to Tamna again. ”

Li Buqi became infamous and claimed to send people to Tamluo again, but the envoys did not dare to hide it, and they did not even dare to make up nonsense, so they had to answer truthfully: "Their poem is written like this: 'Yongyong is a capable official, Yaya, benevolent, righteous and Confucian.'" Peel off the skin of the tiger and use the fake Yao Shun trend. Dental cryptoneedle cone, abdominal intestinal hydatid maggots. There is a blessing in the mouth, and the finger is rewarded. The four seas should breathe, and thousands of miles will follow the volume. Cut off the naked body, drink blood and fatten the skin. devoured the good people's party, chewing and refusing to spit out. Even the bed is lined with sheng, and the other room is even the concubine. A body of 10,000 rafters, a thousand warehouses. Children attack the minister, slaves and maids join hairpins ......'"

Li Buqi smiled secretly in his heart. Let's just say that Luo Tong and Luo Xiucai are average, and they can't write any decent poems, and sure enough, Luo Tong replied that the poem of this envoy was still "written by Li Buqi".

This poem should be a poem written by a poet in the Song Dynasty about locusts, and Li Buqi only remembers this paragraph of the words and phrases that expose corrupt officials and corrupt officials through the mouth of locusts, and once wrote it when chatting with Luo Tong and them, and was regarded as a masterpiece by Luo Tong. This poem does not directly scold the emperor, but more of a scolding of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so as soon as he heard Luo Tong's poem, Li Buqi had a bottom in his heart. He didn't say anything, just looked at the emperor's face.

Sure enough, the emperor's face was very exciting, and the faces of Wen Yanbo and the others were also very exciting. After the envoy finished reading, the emperor, who was obviously touched by the matter, said first: "Alas, it is my improper use of people that makes my people suffer abroad. This is my mistake. ”

Wen Yanbo immediately said: "Your Majesty must not believe the words of the people. This is an excuse for the disgruntled people to deceive people, and it is not credible. ”

The other ministers immediately chimed in. "Yes, Your Majesty, how can such words be believed!"

Credible or not, the emperor was touched in his heart. Li Buqi didn't expect a poem to make the emperor repent and refresh politics, so he didn't dwell on this matter, and said directly: "Your Majesty, judging from this poem, although the people on Tamna Island are dissatisfied with the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, they may not be dissatisfied with Your Majesty, so it is possible for them to admit that they are Song people." However, if His Majesty ordered the port to be sealed off and their ties with the Great Song Dynasty severed, they could further deepen their resentment and even defect to Goryeo in desperation. If they can sail to Tamluo, they can lead the Goryeo people to sail to Dengzhou and Mizhou, so that there will be no sea danger to rely on on the roads of Jingdong, what if the Khitan drives Goryeo to attack? Don't forget that Goryeo is subservient to the Khitan. ”

The characteristic of the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers is what kind of cowardice. As soon as he heard that the Koreans might be calling from the sea, they all snorted, and the emperor couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.

At this time, Liang Shi, a privy counselor, came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no need to worry about Goryeo. The minister heard that someone from my Great Song Dynasty had sent an envoy to Goryeo, and when he looked at the Goryeo soldiers, he thought that the Goryeo soldiers were extremely weak and unbearable to fight. Such a country can't even defeat a group of people of the Great Song Dynasty, how can it attack the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Li Buqi turned to Liang Shi: "This official also heard that the Goryeo soldiers are weak, but what if the Khitan comes to attack Goryeo from the sea?" Or did those people of the Great Song Dynasty turn to Goryeo as the precursor to Goryeo? Or did the Koreans come by boat carrying the Khitans to the sea? Have you ever thought about these possibilities? ”

Liang Shi said: "Even if the people of the Great Song Dynasty voted for Goryeo, there are only a few people, and the disease of scabies is just a few battalions in Dengzhou and Mizhou to be subdued." ”

Li Buqi said: "That's not what I said. Once the port is closed and no grain and iron are allowed to be exported, ships trading overseas will be affected, and the construction of trade routes will come to a standstill, and I don't know how many seafarers will lose their jobs. As long as some of these outlaws defect to Goryeo, and then someone follows suit, it is not as simple as Goryeo being weak. ”

Liang Shi pursed his lips and said, "Li Junjian is alarmist, right? It is because of the huge profits of sea trade that they are reluctant to make this profit. Li Junjian's participation in maritime trade is a well-known thing. ”

Li Buqi simply ignored Liang Shi's accusations. The matter of sea trade is still the emperor who has taken the lion's head, and with the emperor as a great god in front, Liang Shi can't spray Li Buqi. He smiled: "Master Liang forgot, this official has a position to promote the Royal Test Ground, and participating in the sea trade is to find a market for the new products in the test site, which is not just the profit of the sea trade. My opposition to the blockade of the port is based only on the above possibilities, and it would be best if the ministers could be sure that my fears were unfounded. ”

Li Buqi said it lightly. However, the experience of Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao defecting to Li Yuanhao is a lingering nightmare in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Buqi provoked the conversation and stopped talking. He knew that many people had recently invested money in this area as they watched the sea trade to the north, and it was strange that these people did not jump out to oppose the blockade of the port. Sure enough, as soon as he shut up, several civil officials immediately jumped out to denounce the ills of the blockade of the port.

Because the envoy took a boat from the mouth of the Yeesung River in Goryeo to Dengju and then returned, he walked slowly, and the letter from Tamna Island had already reached Li Buqi before he returned to Beijing.

Luo Tong said that the envoy from the Great Song Dynasty first took a boat from Dengju to Ganghwa Bay on the west coast of the peninsula, and then went south by land to meet the king of Goryeo, and then went to sea to reach Tamna. Therefore, the Tamna navy led the way with the captured Goryeo navy, followed the envoy ship to the port of Goryeo, launched a fire attack in the middle of the night, and burned the Goryeo fleet.

The star lord of Tamna Island brought thousands of Goryeo troops, and the island lacked food, causing a large number of deaths among the natives. In order to survive, many Tamna natives either ran to the side of the Song people or clashed with the Goryeo army, so the prestige of the star lord plummeted. Just after burning the Goryeo fleet, Luo Tong was appointed as a new generation of star lords, and Shi Feng and they have taken control of the entire Tamna Island.

Killing the Goryeo fleet and taking the islanders for himself is actually the overall situation of Tamna. Therefore, Li Buqi is in a relaxed mood now, even if he can't prevent the emperor from making a decision that is unfavorable to Tamna, as long as he delays for a while and lets Luo Tong and them completely digest Tamna Island.

As expected. With these people mixed up, there was another quarrel in the court. On the one hand, he was afraid of offending Goryeo, and on the other hand, he was afraid of forcing the Song people on Tamna Island to the side of Goryeo and Khitan. Then, some imperial historians jumped out to accuse the emperor of rashly opening sea trade for small profits and causing trouble, and several imperial historians jumped out to impeach Wen Yanbo and other rulers for being incompetent, causing the people to be miserable and having to go overseas.

This topic was completely deviated, and in the end, no result was achieved. The emperor also had no idea, so he had to write to another minister to discuss the matter, and then ordered the retreat from the court. According to Li Buqi's experience, I don't know how much time it will take to discuss such a discussion.
