Great joy! The king of Goryeo wants to unite with our Great Song Dynasty and deal with the Liao people together! In addition, the king of Goryeo also said that they have united to the Jin people, and if we also participate in the Great Song Dynasty, it will be the union of the three kingdoms and the joint destruction of Liao! Song Huizong said excitedly.

"Ahh That's it! Cai Jing was taken aback, he didn't expect that the letter from the King of Goryeo would say such a thing.

The ministers immediately began to discuss, some time ago Song Huizong said that he wanted to "unite Jin to destroy Liao" and "recover Yanyun", and there were many people who opposed it at that time. But now the envoys of Goryeo actually brought a letter from the king of Goryeo, saying that they would "unite the three kingdoms" to destroy Liao, which shocked the ministers again for a while.

"Cui envoy, you step aside, Honglu Temple will give me a good reception for Cui envoy, there must be no mistakes!" Song Huizong said.

At that moment, someone took Wu Yong down, Wu was like a cat scratching, and he wanted to know how the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty would discuss this matter, but unfortunately there was no way but to retreat.

After returning to Honglu Temple on the same day, Honglu Temple's entertainment scale for Wu Yong went up a notch.

Zhao Mingcheng accompanied Wu Yong to dinner and said, "Master Cui, what do you need, just say it?" ”

Wu Yong said: "There is nothing, I just hope that the three kingdoms can succeed in uniting, destroy the Liao State as soon as possible, and restore the homeland." ”

Historically, not only was Yanyun of the Han people occupied by the Liao, but a large part of Goryeo's territory was also occupied by the Liao. Although Goryeo has been a vassal to the Liao State over the years, there are also some Goryeo people who want to restore their homeland.

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Master Cui does not forget his homeland, and his sentiments are noble, which is admirable. ”

Wu Yong said: "Actually, there is one more thing that you have to trouble adults to report. ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "What's the matter?" ”

Wu Yong said: "When I came, I ran into the Liangshan bandits, and all the belongings were hijacked. When I go back this time, I hope that the Great Song Dynasty can send soldiers to escort me, so that I can return to Goryeo smoothly, I wonder if I can agree? ”

Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly said: "This is natural, Master Cui can rest assured, there is no problem." ”

That night, in the warm pavilion of the palace vertical arch hall, Song Huizong had gathered several close ministers, Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian and others were there, and the monarchs and ministers discussed the matter of the union of the three kingdoms together.

Chapter 114: Clever Words

"Let's all talk about it, is this possible?" Song Huizong Zhao Ji said.

"Wechen thinks it's feasible! The three families are united, and it is not impossible to destroy the Liao Kingdom with the strength of the three of us, and we will be able to get Yanyun smoothly at that time. Gao Yu was the first to speak, and said.

After Gao Yu finished speaking, the rest of the people also nodded, agreeing with Gao Yu's opinion.

"Originally, I just wanted Yan Yun's ...... But now that the three are united, it is a sure thing to destroy Liao. As long as Yan Yun speaks, will it be too little? Song Huizong said suddenly.

The ministers looked at each other, and after a while, Yang Jian said, "Your Majesty said yes!" Originally, we thought that the United Jin people might not be able to destroy the Liao Kingdom, we just needed to get Yan Yun back. But now that Goryeo is participating, we will definitely be able to destroy the Liao Kingdom, and we can ask for more places. ”

Song Huizong nodded, his face was full of joy, he thought about it, and said, "I don't know how Goryeo's troops are?" ”

Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty, we will call the Goryeo envoy tomorrow and ask about it." ”

The monarchs and ministers discussed for a long time, and basically agreed on the matter of the three families destroying Liao, and dispersed immediately.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Wu Yong was woken up by someone who said that the emperor had summoned him.

"What's going on? Before the sky is fully dawned, the emperor is going to summon me? This Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is really a bastard. Wu cursed in his heart.

However, he hurriedly put on the official uniform of Goryeo and followed the eunuch who led the way towards the palace.

When he came to the palace, Wu Yong was surprised to find that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng and other important figures of the Great Song Dynasty were all there.

"These people are up so early?" Wu Yong secretly wondered.

In fact, Song Huizong was very anxious about the destruction of Liao by the three families, so he called everyone over before dawn. Wu Yong was a Goryeo envoy, and Song Huizong specially "took care" of him, and he didn't call him until it was almost dawn, which was considered to be a more preferential treatment for him as an envoy.

"Envoy Cui, please take a seat." Seeing Wu Yong coming in, Song Huizong hurriedly said.

It was in a side hall, burning charcoal, and it was very warm.

"Minister, see Your Majesty." Wu Yong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted again.

"Hurry up...... Come and give the Cui envoy ginseng soup. Song Hui Zong said.

The sky was not yet fully bright, and Song Huizong thought that Wu Yong must not have eaten yet, so he asked Wu to use ginseng soup.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Yong hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"Envoy Cui, you serve in your country's Privy Council, so you must know your country's military strength very well?" Song Huizong said.

"Your Majesty, at present, I have a total of 300,000 troops in Goryeo." Wu Yongdao.

"What? 300,000? Song Huizong, Cai Jing and others were all taken aback, thinking to themselves, how could such a small country as Goryeo have so many troops?

"Your Majesty, originally we only had 150,000 troops in Goryeo, and since we broke off diplomatic relations with the Liao people during this time, we were afraid that the Liao people would attack our country, so we hurriedly recruited more than 100,000 recruits, so the total strength has reached 300,000." Wu Yongdao.

"I see." Song Huizong nodded, feeling that this was normal. If a country is faced with a strong foreign threat, it will generally urgently recruit soldiers.

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, in fact, I have important things to tell you." Wu Yong's face suddenly showed a serious expression and said.

"Oh? What's the matter? You just say it. Song Hui Zong said.

Wu carefully pondered his words before he said, "Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if you have ever seen Jin Ren?" [-3u]”

Song Huizong, Cai Jing and the others were all stunned, to be honest, they really hadn't seen the Jin people. The Jin Kingdom was too far away from the Great Song Dynasty, and there was basically no contact between the two sides. The previous policy of "Lianjin and Liao" was also formulated by the Great Song Dynasty, and it was the Great Song Dynasty that sent a special envoy Ma Zhi to the Jin State to prepare to negotiate with the Jin people. And the Jin people have never taken the initiative to come to the Song Kingdom.

Cai Jing said: "Envoy Cui, does this have anything to do with the union of our three families?" ”

Wu Yong said: "Naturally, there is a relationship. ”

Cai Jing said: "Please advise." ”

Wu Yongdao: "The Jin people are very arrogant and fierce, and they have some imagination with the Khitans, to be precise, they are more like the Khitans two hundred years ago...... So, I think, we should beware of the Kim Man. ”

Belch......

Song Huizong, Cai Jing and others were stunned there, in fact, when they wanted to unite the Jin people at the beginning, there were many ministers in the court who opposed it, and the seed master even wrote that this was a plot with the tiger, and the gains outweighed the losses. However, at that time, Song Huizong was eager to establish a meritorious career and wanted to get Yan Yun, so he did not take these people's suggestions seriously, but made up his mind to unite with the Jin people.

Now that the "Goryeo envoys" proposed the union of the three families on the one hand, and said such things on the other hand, Song Huizong and Cai Jingjing frowned and thought about it.

"Envoy Cui, what do you say you should do?" Song Huizong said.

"It's not without ...... Your Majesty, we can unite the three families first and destroy the Liao people. After that, the Great Song Dynasty united with our Goryeo and destroyed the Jin Kingdom, and all the northern territories belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, and we only needed the land of Liaodong in Goryeo. Wu Yong, the envoy of Goryeo, said such earth-shattering words.

……

"Ahh Song Huizong was directly stunned, Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others also stayed there, and Wu Yong's words greatly surprised them.

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, I, Goryeo, like the Great Song Dynasty, are both Confucian cultural inheritances, and my Goryeo nobles also learn Chinese characters and speak Chinese. It can be said that our Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty are in the same line, and we will never betray the Great Song Dynasty. The Jin people are different, they are another Khitan, and for us, they are real foreigners. If they are not of my race, their hearts will be different, don't you say? Wu Yongdao.

Speaking of which, Goryeo is indeed very similar to the Great Song Dynasty. From language to culture, and even to the imperial examination system, to the official system, and so on, they are basically the same. At that time, the Goryeo aristocracy even claimed to be the descendants of the Shang Dynasty Jizi and wanted to deepen ties with the Central Plains. The Goryeo and the Central Plains are also very similar, and if you put a Goryeo among the Central Plains, others may not be able to recognize them.

Relatively speaking, the Jurchens, Khitans and Central Plains people are very different, and they are greatly surprised by their appearance, culture, and so on. Moreover, the Jurchens and Khitans were very aggressive, and the Goryeo, which was heavily influenced by Confucian culture, was much less aggressive.

If you want to choose one of the Jin, Liao, and Goryeo as your neighbors, I am afraid that the people of the Great Song Dynasty will definitely choose Goryeo.

Regarding Wu Yong's statement that the three families jointly destroyed the Liao State, and then the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo jointly destroyed the Jin State, Song Huizong and others suddenly became interested.

Song Huizong's face flushed with excitement, and said, "Envoy Cui, you step back first, and our monarchs and ministers should discuss this matter well." ”

At that moment, a eunuch temporarily led Wu Yong down, and only Song Huizong, Cai Jing and others were left in the palace.

"Do you think it's feasible?" Song Huizong hurriedly asked.

Cai Jing was already impatient at this moment and said, "Wonderful, it's really wonderful!" The plan that Ma Zhi said before to destroy Liao does have huge hidden dangers. The Jin people are vicious, and they are afraid that it will be another Liao country in the future. But now that we are joining forces with Goryeo, there is no hidden danger at all. And when the time comes, what we will get will be the whole north, not just the land of Yanyun, don't you say? ”

Most of these important ministers under Song Huizong were treacherous people. Cai Jing is the most talented among them, as for Gao Yu, he is nominally a lieutenant, in charge of the 800,000 forbidden army in Bianliang, but he is only a favorite of Song Huizong, and he is best at playing football, and he basically does not know anything about military affairs. As for Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian, these are two big eunuchs. Liang Shicheng was in charge of going out to transmit the holy decrees, and all the imperial orders had to be promulgated through his hands, and he was called "Hidden Phase", which was tied with Cai Jing. Yang Jian, the eunuch who managed the garden, actually sat in the position of "Taifu" because of Song Huizong's love.

It is really difficult for these people to let such a group of "important ministers of the state" discuss military affairs.

Cai Jing was the most talented and knowledgeable, and he spoke, and the rest of the people basically didn't understand, so they all agreed.

"Very good, very good, let's unite the three families first and destroy the Liao Kingdom! Then we will unite with Goryeo and destroy the Jin Kingdom, and then the whole world will be my Great Song Dynasty! Oh my God, when the time comes, my Zhao Ji's merits will surpass Taizu and Taizong, and will surpass Emperor Qin and Han Wu...... Hurry up, we must do this as soon as possible! Song Huizong said excitedly.

Wu Yong was working in a room in the palace at the moment, and the eunuchs brought him the best dragon well, and Wu Yong was drinking it slowly.

He was adjusting his mood, trying to imagine himself as a real Goryeo envoy, and later he would have to face the kings and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty and get what he really wanted from them.

"I signed the Inchon Treaty last time, and this time it seems that a Bianliang Treaty will be signed...... I want to get enough benefits from the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is a steady stream of benefits! For thousands of years to come, I will become the embodiment of wisdom, alongside Su Qin and Zhang Yi. Wu Yong's whole body trembled with excitement again.

Soon after, Wu Yong was invited in again.

Chapter 115: The Bianliang Covenant

For the next few days, Wu Yong had been discussing the matter of union with the Great Song monarchs.

Wu Yong now completely regards himself as a "Goryeo envoy", constantly fighting for the interests of Goryeo, and the more he is like this, the less the Great Song monarchs and ministers doubt his identity.

Song Huizong, Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng, these famous traitors in history have affirmed the matter of the union, and the ministers below naturally have not much opposition, and this matter has been basically decided.

And these days, Zhu Gui and Cao Zheng are extremely anxious, they are still busy with the affairs of "craftsmen", and they want to take the craftsmen of the Duzuoyuan away from Bianliang City.

"These artisans all have their own families...... We have to take not only these craftsmen away, but also their families. It's really hard! Zhu Gui stood outside the capital courtyard and sighed.

"Why do you want to take the families of these craftsmen with you?" There was something strange about Chengguan next to him.

"If we just take these craftsmen away, the court will definitely not let their families go, and when the time comes, their families will inevitably die, and those craftsmen will definitely resent us because of this, and it will be very difficult to make them use for me." Zhu Guidao.

"It's a bit difficult." Chengguan frowned.

If you take away a family or two families, it is still possible. But now it is not one or two craftsmen to be taken away, but dozens or even more craftsmen to be taken away, and it is almost impossible to take their families with them.

"If it really doesn't work, we will create an incident in Bianliang City, and then look for an opportunity to take these people away." Zhu Gui thought about it and said.

"General Zhu, I think we should go and find Wu Xue again...... Wu Xuezhu has always been loyal to the Grand Duke, and he will never dare to disobey the military orders of the Dadu Governor. He must have his own purpose in creating such a big momentum in Bian Liang City...... Maybe it's for the craftsmen of Tosakuin, don't you think? Chengguan said.

"This ......" Zhu Gui pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "We'll go to Wu Yong in the evening." ”

Wu Yong used this time to become famous in Bianliang City, and from top to bottom in Bianliang City, everyone knew the news of the arrival of the Goryeo envoys.

At night, when Zhu Gui and Chengguan came to Honglu Temple, they found that the defense here was much tighter than before, and there were soldiers everywhere, and it was almost impossible to enter.

"Why are you defending so tightly now?" Zhu Gui said in disbelief.

The defensive strength here is almost comparable to that of the princes' mansions, which is not at all the treatment that an envoy of a fanguo should enjoy.

In fact, there is a reason why the defense is so tight, and now Wu Yong is discussing the matter of alliance with the Great Song Dynasty on behalf of Goryeo, which is related to the merits of Song Huizong, so Song Huizong attaches great importance to this matter, and Wu Yong, the Goryeo envoy, naturally also attaches great importance to it, so he sent heavy troops to guard Honglu Temple, and it is necessary to ensure the absolute safety of Wu Yong.

The two of them walked around outside the Honglu Temple, and found that they couldn't get in at all, and they wanted to leave at the moment, but at this time, Chengguan suddenly said in surprise: "General Zhu, look." ”

I saw a familiar person appear in front of me, who was the officer of the intelligence department who followed Wu at the beginning. At this moment, there were several imperial court soldiers accompanying this person, and when he saw Zhu Gui and Chengguan, he also showed a look of surprise in his eyes, and walked towards the two.

Those soldiers followed him, Zhu Gui and Chengguan were a little apprehensive, and at this time, the man said, "Sure enough, there is a master here!" ”

As he spoke, he kept saluting Chengguan, Chengguan was stunned, not knowing that he was
