Chapter 583: Goryeo Comes to the Dynasty to Listen to the Government
Kudu Lujian was lost and said indignantly: "We are the princess of Mongolia, he can't dictate to us, right?" ”
Wan Ze smiled: "Who said it can't?" I am not as good as him with Nangjajin and Kutolun, so how can I do if I don't listen to him? ”
Kudu Lujian lost his breath and said: "But, aren't my sisters messing with the rules of the court like this?" ”
Wan Ze smiled: "These rules work for others, but not for the prince." He was a person who could do whatever he wanted, and he didn't blink an eye against his father's will, and he saved his father's life because of it. What do you want your father Khan? Will it punish him? What can he be punished? Zhongshu Zuo Cheng begged him to be the father Khan, and he didn't care if he was exempted. Will he pay the fine? Attacking the Southern Song Dynasty, will he be afraid? Now on the contrary, the court has almost everywhere to ask for him, if he must adhere to the rules of the court, he dares to turn his face with his father Khan at any time, and then I and Nangjia will not have a relationship? ”
"The prince is different from the king of Goryeo, most of the land of Goryeo was returned to them by our Mongols, and of course we have the final say in state affairs. But the prince has today, and he relies on his own punches and kicks, and he doesn't owe Mongolia anything, let alone obey Mongolia's orders. As the prince said, only with strength can you be respected. We are not like you, who can be occasionally headstrong. When we are by the prince's side, we must be like a wife, and everything is up to him. But we are very happy, follow the prince, we will never be bored, he always has a way to make us happy. ”
Kudu Lujian was lost and silent, still unconvinced. She is used to being arrogant, and she can't accept that someone is in charge of her, so she just hopes to send Cheng Yue away as soon as possible. She can also return to the old days of unrestrained.
A feast. To each his own heart. Gradually dispersed.
Cheng Yue put up his hands and strolled back to the hall. Wan Ze repeated in his ear what he said to Kudu Lujian to Cheng Yue one by one.
Cheng Yue nodded slightly, and said: "Kudu Lujian is still smart when he is lost, he can guess that I will make a move tomorrow, you can go to the court with me tomorrow, and it doesn't matter if Goryeo's affairs are not good." ”
Wan Ze, Nang Jiazhen and Ku Toulon replied yes, and followed Cheng Yue into the temple to rest.
In the early morning of the next day, Shouchang Palace held a court meeting. The ministers of the three countries are all here. The hall was small and suddenly crowded.
Usually in the upper court, Wang Tan and Kudu Lujian were lost and sat side by side in the middle, and Xin Du sat on Wang Tan's left. Not today, Cheng Yue, Tuhuan, Wanze, Nangjiazhen, and Kutoulon all have to go to court, where is there a place in Xindu, so Xindu stood at the bottom of the stairs for the first time and was at the head of the military ministers.
The seats on the steps were lined up, and Wang Tan and Kudu Lujian were still sitting in the middle. Cheng Yue, Wan Ze, Nang Jiazhen, and Ku Toulon sat on the left, and Tuhuan sat on the right. Although their status is higher than that of Wang Yu and Kudu Lujian, they are lost. But you can't take the lead either.
Wang Yu looked helplessly at the king and princess on the left and right, there was nothing for him to do in the court today, he had to entrust himself to be a turtle with a shrunken head, although he was very unwilling.
Kudu Lujian is also very unaccustomed to being lost, in the past, she and Xin had the final say, but today it seems that they have to listen to Cheng Yue, and I don't know what he wants to do.
Cheng Yue looked around at the ministers, without any politeness, and said, "You have said in advance that today will be very busy, don't delay the time." ”
The Goryeo ministers looked at each other, and several ministers who had a plan to play had to come out and play them one by one.
The servant Yin Jin Youcheng said: "Your Highness, the conquest of Japan needs cattle and horses, and nearly half of the cattle and horses on Tamna Island have been requisitioned, and this year's ghee may be reduced by more than 30%, and the use of the palace and Mongolian nobles is generally fine, but it may be difficult to pay tribute." ”
Although Xin Du stood below, he had not forgotten his duty, and said, "The ghee that was paid tribute last time was appreciated by the Great Khan, how can it be less this year?" We can use less or even not at all, and the tribute must be guaranteed. ”
Cheng Yue suddenly waved his hand and said: "From this year onwards, Goryeo will no longer pay tribute to ghee, so it's decided." ”
The ministers were taken aback, and Cheng Yue continued: "Goryeo doesn't produce ghee, so what's the point of making such a little bit on Tamna Island, and sending it all the way to Dadu?" What is it that is not a waste of money and labor? Cancel from now on, and you can't reinstate it later. He turned his head and said to Kudu Lujian: "You also eat a little less, you are too embarrassed to eat when you come from afar?" Can't you live without ghee? ”
Kudu Lujian said angrily: "This is a tribute, my father Khan has praised it, if you want to cancel it, you must get the consent of your father Khan." ”
Cheng Yue said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!" I tell you to cancel and cancel! Father Khan has my own explanation, you just have to obey my orders! ”
Kudu Lujian was so angry that she trembled, in normal times, she would have picked up something and smashed it over, but at this time, she really didn't dare, Cheng Yue wouldn't be used to her!
The Goryeo ministers were happy in their hearts, and their excited expressions could not be concealed at all, so they hurriedly lowered their heads so as not to be seen that they were gloating.
Wang Yu was happier than anyone else in his heart, he was too close to Kudu Lujian to be lost, and he couldn't steal fun like the ministers, so he had to cough a few times and turn his face sideways.
Cheng Yue turned his head back and said, "Next." ”
Guo Lin of Zhiwen Han Department stiffened his face, stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, three days ago, Your Highness and the Queen went out hunting, trampled on a total of 32 acres of farmland, and injured two farmers. ”
Xin Duzheng's face turned pale with anger, and when he heard this, he said: "If it must be reduced or reduced, it will make the treacherous people try to falsely report the acres of land, and thirty-two acres will become five or six hundred acres. If the field is trampled on, some grain can be given as appropriate, and no tax reduction can be made! ”
This was his biggest concession, in fact, no matter what the ministers said, Wang Tan and Kudu Lujian Lost, Xin Du and others never stopped hunting arbitrarily, let alone compensated the farmers for their losses. Today, it is because of Cheng Yue's presence that Xindu has made this concession.
After Cheng Yue heard this, he turned his head and asked Wang Yu, "How often do you go out to hunt?" ”
Wang Yu said nonchalantly: "Not necessarily, when the season is good, I go once every three or five days, this is a habit I developed when I was in Dadu." ”
Cheng Yue was displeased and said, "Don't you restrain yourself when you're busy farming?" ”
Wang Yu protested: "It's the same when I was in Dadu, the Great Khan never said about me. ”
Cheng Yue frowned and said: "Just because the Great Khan didn't say you doesn't mean that you are right, otherwise what would you want us people to do?" As the king of Goryeo, the first thing you need to do is to suffer the people and give to the people, otherwise what use do you want? You trample on the fields, hurting the hard work of the peasants. If you hit a farmer, he may be left with a wound that will be difficult to heal for the rest of his life, and you are not responsible? Say a few words about you, you still have a good word, and your king of Goryeo is really relaxed. ”
Wang Yu was speechless by Cheng Yue's words, so he simply turned his head to the side and ignored Cheng Yue's words.
Cheng Yue sneered in his heart, and said to Kudu Lujian in disappointment: "And you, as the queen, not only did you not dissuade the rash behavior of the king of Goryeo, but you actually complied with it and enjoyed it, this is how the Great Khan taught you since you were a child?" ”
Kudu Lujian was lost and couldn't help but sneer: "My Goryeo affairs, don't worry about the king of Zhennan!" ”
Cheng Yue said coldly: "I can take care of the affairs of Gaoli, if you don't listen, you can't do it, if you think I can't do anything about you, you can give it a try." ”
Kudu Lujian was lost and furious, stood up and roared at Jin Youcheng: "Jin Youcheng, the ghee of Tamna Island is paid tribute as usual, and if it is less, I will only ask you!" ”
Cheng Yue snorted coldly and said, "Xiao Zhen listens to the order." ”
Xiao Zhen came out of the crowd and said, "Yes." ”
Cheng Yue said: "Ordered the naval commander Liu Shun, after the navy arrived in Goryeo, immediately enter and occupy Tamna Island, expel Goryeo's soldiers and horses on the island, and if they encounter resistance, they will all be killed!" From now on, Tamna Island will be placed under the protection of this king, and a government will be set up, go ahead! ”
Xiao Zhen saluted: "Yes!" He turned around and went out of the temple, and walked quickly to give the order.
Everyone in the palace was dumbfounded!
In the blink of an eye, Goryeo's 1,000 men and horses on Tamna Island are gone?!
Tamna Island was occupied by the Mongols when Wang Tan asked the Mongols to send troops to exterminate the Sanbetsu. At that time, the remnants of Sambetsu fled from Jindo to Tamna Island, and the Mongols joined forces with Goryeo to conquer Tamna Island and garrison it by the way.
Wang Tan was unwilling to be occupied by the Mongols, under the pretext of needing to raise cattle and horses on the island to make ghee, he sent some Goryeo officials and men to the island to manage affairs, together with the Goryeo soldiers and horses originally stationed on the island, a total of more than 1,000 people, trying to find an opportunity to take back the island, but now it is going to be taken away by Cheng Yue, he is not angry?
Wang Yu jumped up in anger, paused, and tried to suppress the anger in his chest, but he still couldn't hold back, and roared at Cheng Yue: "I sent troops to Tamluo Island to guard with Da Yuan, and the Great Khan knows!" Do you want to start a war with me Goryeo? ”
Cheng Yue slapped his right hand on the table and sneered: "Okay, then we will go to war, whoever wins, Tamna Island is who's, what do you think?" ”
Kudu Lujian was so angry that Cheng Yue was so angry that he yelled loudly: "You dare to rob my Dayuan and Goryeo territory, see how you explain in front of your father Khan?!" ”
Cheng Yue said coldly: "If you are disobedient, there will still be battles in the future, what is a Tamna Island!" ”
Wang Tan and Kudu Lujian's lost eyes were about to erupt with fire, and the ministers of Goryeo reacted differently. Many ministers were just as angry as they were, but many more were gloating. Although it was distressing to be driven out of Tamna Island, it was not a big deal compared to their hatred of Kudulujian's loss. also made Kudu Lujian lost and couldn't eat ghee, give her a lesson!
Yin Gongxiu frowned, he was a general, so he naturally understood that Tamna Island could not be lost in vain, otherwise it would be very dangerous to Goryeo. If the king of Jinnam takes Tamna Island as a foothold, it will be easy to attack Goryeo, and with the strength of the king of Jinnam, I am afraid that sooner or later he will attack the idea of Goryeo!
