Chapter 1199: Envoy
Just when Li Jing and Wang were playing a friendly game in the study, Wang Mu had already gone ashore and arrived in Kaesong, and attached great importance to the arrival of Wang Mu for the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty, whether it was Wang Kai or Li Ziqian, and Li Ziqian came to greet him personally, and Wang Kai also sent Jin Fushi, a member of the Chinese Scholar's House, to greet him. Although it is far away from the Tang Dynasty, some merchants in Goryeo still frequent the Central Plains by sea. For everything in the Central Plains, Goryeo also knows a thing or two, the Tang Dynasty defeated the Great Song Dynasty, and even drove the Jin State out of the Central Plains not long ago, seeing that a powerful neighbor is about to be born.
It's just that in Goryeo, how to treat this newborn neighbor, Goryeo did not make a better judgment, after all, not long ago, the Goryeo Dynasty also sent people to participate in Zhao Go's enthronement ceremony, and even thought about making good contact with Zhao Go, being an ally or something, and everyone dealt with the Jin people together.
But now that Datang is here, and he took the initiative to send someone here, Goryeo sensitively feels that this is an opportunity, whether it is for Wang Kai, the king of Goryeo, or for Li Ziqian, the powerful minister, they all understand that Datang has paid attention to its neighbor. For various purposes, Wang Kai and Li Ziqian, both monarchs and ministers, attached great importance to Wang Mu's arrival.
"It's a great honor for the country to come here." Li Ziqian's eyes contracted, looking at Wang Mu, he got more things than Wang Kai, this Wang Mu is not only a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, but more importantly, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if he can convince this person to ascend the throne and become king, it will be a great help. Therefore, he was honored as the prince of Korea, but he still came to greet him personally.
"The prince is polite." Wang Mu looked at the old man in front of him, although he was old and had gray hair, he was tall and powerful. Between the opening and closing of his eyes, there is a sharp light flashing, no wonder Li Jing looks down on the person in front of him, this guy looks at the wolf Gu, if he becomes the king of Goryeo, the first thing is to attack the Tang Dynasty and betray the Tang Dynasty.
"Lord Wang, the king has been waiting in the Chongguang Hall for a long time." At this time, Jin Fushi walked over, his face was full of smiles, but there was still a trace of vigilance in his eyes, the ambitions of Li Ziqian and others had been clearly revealed, and even Wang Kai was imprisoned.
Wang Mu nodded repeatedly, pretending not to know anything, and said to Li Ziqian: "Your Majesty has also heard that the king of Goryeo is wise and wise, and the first thing I came here this time is to greet the king and renew the diplomatic relations between the two countries. ”
After Jin Fushi and Li Ziqian listened, they suddenly showed a trace of panic on their faces, although the two were hostile, but the opposite side was still very concerned about national affairs, not long ago, the Goryeo Kingdom had officially surrendered to Dajin, and everyone in the world knew that the Jin Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty were enemies of life and death, and even, the Southern Song Dynasty had sent people to contact Goryeo and ally with Goryeo, but they were all rejected by Goryeo.
Jin Fushi glanced at Li Ziqian, Goryeo was originally transcendent, once served the Khitan as the suzerain, and the Jin people were actually standing on the same starting line, everyone was a Khitan courtier, but later, the Jin people actually destroyed the Khitan, from a slave to a master, although the national strength of Goryeo is not good, but look down on the Jin people, that is, at the request of Li Ziqian, and the Jin people as the suzerain, now it's okay, the Central Plains Dynasty is coming, it is still talking about the renewal of diplomatic relations between the two countries, in fact, this diplomatic relationship is not a brotherly friendship, it is clear that Goryeo is a minister.
They are all ministers, the small people of Goryeo are weak, and they don't know how many years they have been called ministers, and they have long been used to it, especially being a courtier of the Central Plains Dynasty, such a thing is still a very glorious thing for Goryeo, but for Li Ziqian, it is not a good thing.
The corners of Li Ziqian's mouth twitched, his eyes flashed, and he glanced at Wang Mu, but he didn't know what to do, if it was someone else, Li Ziqian didn't care about the identity of the other party, but Wang Mu was different, the old man of the Tang Emperor, who dared to be presumptuous in front of him, if he killed this person, I am afraid that it would immediately attract the army of the Tang Dynasty, and even the Jin people were not his opponents, and Goryeo was even more unlikely to be the opponents of the Tang Dynasty.
"Okay, okay, Lord Wang, please come here." Jin Fushi laughed and said, "If the king knew that Shangbang had come to renew diplomatic relations, the king would definitely be very happy." "Anyway, Wang Mu is here to find Wang Kai at this time, Li Ziqian certainly has the heart of rebellion, but at this time, only with Wang Kai can he represent Goryeo, and the lord of the state in front of him will not ignore Li Ziqian, especially after knowing that it is Li Ziqian's idea to marry a good Jinren, he will definitely not stand on Li Ziqian's side. Jin Fushi felt that the heavens were helping Wang Kai and helping Goryeo, and at this critical time, the powerful Central Plains Dynasty actually sent an important minister to renegotiate the matter of diplomatic relations.
"Okay, please, please from the Guogong's side." Wang Mu pretended not to see the relationship between the two, walked a step or two, and suddenly saw a tall and sturdy middle-aged man, with a look of surprise on his face, and said, "Who is this?" Lord Jin, the ministers of your country are extraordinary, and this one is even more impressive. ”
"Oh, this is Master Pingzhang Shituo under the door of the same book." When Jin Fushi saw the other party, he immediately said unhurriedly.
Wang Mu smiled when he heard this: "But General Tuojun Jingtuo, who once defeated the Jin people? Your Majesty is far away in the Central Plains, and I have heard of the prestige of the general, you must know that the Jin people are strong, they eliminated the Khitan back then, and even almost destroyed the Zhao Song Dynasty. It is better to be famous than to meet, before Xiaguan came to Goryeo, His Majesty once asked Xiaguan to convey his greetings to the general. said when the general had time to go to the Central Plains, His Majesty was willing to hold a banquet to entertain the general. ”
In the end, Wang Mu opened his eyes and told nonsense, what kind of character Li Jing is, and he doesn't know how many famous generals there are, any one of them is stronger than Tuo Junjing, and a little Tuo Junjing went to the Central Plains, so he can be valued by Li Jing. Before coming, Wang Mu checked some information about Goryeo and knew that the relationship between Li Ziqian and Tuo Junjing was relatively delicate. After imprisoning Wang Kai, the power in the country is in the hands of Li Ziqian, Tuo Junjing is not convinced, there are many contradictions between the two, Wang Mu said this, it is just to drive a wedge between the two.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Mu's words fell, he saw that there was more displeasure between Li Ziqian's eyebrows, but Tuo Junjing was full of smiles. Obviously, he was very interested in Wang Mu's pursuit, and this was something that Tuo Junjing was very proud of, and there was really no one in Goryeo who could do this.
