Luan Yi's refusal to summon Yeonpi for a while made Yeonpi, who was Goguryeo, confused, and didn't know the great pope's attitude towards Goguryeo.

If it is really a matter of official business, if the opposite is just an excuse for refusing to meet him, then the matter is serious, which means that the emperor in front of him who is expanding his territory everywhere has a strong hostility towards his motherland, Goguryeo.

Historically, Goguryeo was just a county under the Western Han Dynasty's Youzhou Xuansu County, and it was only in the Eastern Han Dynasty that it took the opportunity of Wang Mang's rebellion to become independent, and after Emperor Ling returned to heaven, he took advantage of the chaos in the world to expand with the assistance of Gongsun Du, and became a kingdom on the Liaodong Peninsula that could compete with Baekje and Sanhan.

With the power of a county against the Nuo Great Chinese Empire, the consequences can be imagined.

Thinking of this, he was frightened, and he felt more and more that it was not possible to wait like this, so he changed into official clothes overnight and rushed to the Pope's palace to wait, and threatened that if the Pope did not see him, he would have been waiting outside the palace.

In fact, the reason why Luan Yi didn't see him was not because he was busy with things, nor because he was hostile to Goguryeo, he was deliberately hanging Yeonpi to give him enough time to let him understand how small Goguryeo was in front of the empire, and figure out what position Goguryeo should be in in the future to get along with the empire.

So, after learning that Yeonpi was so anxious to ask to see him, he knew that this Goguryeo envoy had figured it out,

He summoned Yan Pi in the early morning of the second day, and in order to show that he was really busy with official business, he also specially had a large table of notes moved and placed on his desk, and these notes had actually been reviewed a few days earlier.

He pretended to write and draw on the white rice paper, until he saw Yeonpi stepping into the main hall and kneeling down to greet him, he put down the wolf's hair and said expressionlessly: "Goguryeo envoy, you are guilty,"

has been ruling the Quartet for a long time, Luan Yi inadvertently cultivated a unique majesty of being in a superior position, this majesty is accompanied by the murderous aura of his southern and northern wars, and spreads out through his full voice, giving people a sense of horror.

Yan Pi knelt on the ground in a cold sweat, he knew that now as an envoy, he represented the entire Goguryeo, in order to maintain the face of the kingdom, he swallowed the horror in his heart, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I don't know what sins there are,"

"Not guilty," Luan Yi snorted coldly, and said: "Last year, the Xianbei people invaded the subject countries of our empire, and when the Xiongnu, the small country of Ru Goguryeo actually fought for the tiger, sending 30,000 soldiers and horses to fight together, and being an enemy of the subject country of the Holy Huaxia Empire is an enemy of the Holy Huaxia Empire, isn't it a crime?"

"Your Majesty, there is a misunderstanding in this matter," Yan Pi reacted quickly, quickly grasped the temporal logic trap deliberately created by Luan Yi, and said: "As far as I know, when the Xianbei criminal minister Kebi was able to coerce our country to send troops to the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu were not a subject country of your country, so we did not hesitate to go out with him, without the slightest intention of being an enemy of your country, please Your Majesty be clear,"

Yan Pi's answer is neither humble nor arrogant, and it is reasonable and well-founded, in line with the facts, when Xianbei sent troops to the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu did not get the coronation of the Holy Chinese Empire, which means that the Chinese Empire did not announce to the world that the Xiongnu were his vassals, and Goguryeo did not violate the majesty of the Chinese Empire by using troops against him, so that it can be launched, and Luan Yi's accusation before was not established,

Luan Yi secretly praised Yan Pi's answer in his heart, and still maintained an unsmiling arrogant expression on the surface, "Strong words, when the Xianbei ancestor Tan Shihuai was alive, the small country of Goguryeo knocked on my Youzhou border three times with the Xianbei people, how can this be explained?"

As soon as he heard this, Yan Pi's cold sweat dripped, and he said secretly: Could it be that the Pope is going to settle accounts with Goguryeo, "Your Majesty atons for your sins, Goguryeo is indeed wrong in this matter, but it is also forced to be helpless, Xianbei and Goguryeo are next to each other, Xianbei soldiers are strong and strong, I Goguryeo but if they resist, they will be sick and slaughtered, I Goguryeo claim that he is not his opponent, and can only be coerced by it to use troops against the Han Dynasty, please Your Majesty Mingjian,"

"Then why don't you ask the big man at that time for help,"

"It's not that we didn't ask for help, at first the Han court ignored our help, and later the Han fell into civil strife, and they couldn't take care of a small border country like us, so they could only be coerced by the Xianbei people to use troops against the Han," Yan Pi thought for a while and added: "In addition, most of the wealth plundered from the Han Dynasty was occupied by the Xianbei people, and we Goguryeo people didn't take a penny."

"I'm afraid it's not that you don't want to take it, it's that the Xianbei people don't give it to you," Luan Yi sarcastically said, but sighed secretly in his heart: Yes, everyone is a goguryeo is a wall grass, when the Han Dynasty was in its heyday, he came to climb the Han Dynasty, and when the Han Dynasty did not fall and Xianbei rose, he switched to Xianbei, but who thought about the hardships of Goguryeo, the country of projectiles survives in the cracks of the big countries, and the Han Dynasty, as the suzerain, recruits it on weekdays, but when the other party encounters a threat to survival, it does not send troops to rescue, in order to survive, Goguryeo is left and right between Xianbei and the Han, It was the Han himself who finally pushed Goguryeo into the arms of the Xianbei people,

"There is some truth in what you said," Luan Yi got up and paced a few steps, and said to Yan Pi, who was still kneeling on the ground: "Flat,"

Yan Pi knew that his answer had successfully weakened Luan Yi's hostility towards Goguryeo, so he stood up according to Luan Yi's intentions and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, "Your Majesty,"

"Tell me, what's the important thing to come to Danshi Mountain to see me this time,"

"Back to Your Majesty, when Your Majesty ascended the throne, my king was seriously ill and could not go to Luoyang to offer a congratulatory gift, but also felt too rude, and now I heard that Your Majesty went to the grassland in person, so I sent him to offer a hundred ginseng, 50 mink skins, 100 cattle and sheep each, the right to make up for it, I hope Your Majesty smiles,"

Make up for the gift, Luan Yi sneered in his heart, when the previous turn was not extinguished, you didn't say that you came to congratulate, but now that the backer has fallen, I think of the supplement, this new king of Goguryeo is thick enough,

"I accepted the gift, and the messenger can go back," Luan Yi waved his hand impatiently,

"Your Majesty, there's one more thing down there,"

"What's the matter?"

Yan Pi swallowed his saliva and hesitated for a long time before speaking, "This time, my king sent me to meet His Majesty in the hope that he would reach an agreement with His Majesty to establish friendly relations between our country and your country and create a friendly alliance,"

"Friendly alliance, haha......" Luan Yi looked up to the sky and laughed as if he had discovered something interesting,

"Why is Your Majesty laughing,"

Luan Yi's face froze, "The land of Goguryeo projectiles is also worthy of an alliance with the Holy Huaxia Empire, forget it, the empire doesn't need a weak alliance, you better let your new king give up this thought,"

"This ......" Yan Pi was angered by Luan Yi's arrogant words, but he knew that the Chinese Empire was strong, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only forcibly suppress his anger, "Then dare to ask Your Majesty, how can Goguryeo show its sincerity and be good neighborly and friendly with your country for a hundred years,"

"I want to be good neighbors and friendly," Luan Yi paused, took out a yellow cloth from the drawer, picked up the wolf pen and wrote down a few characters, and took the jade seal to stamp the red seal, and asked the attendant Dian Wei to transfer it to Yan Pi, "This is the imperial letter to Goguryeo, as long as Goguryeo does what the above articles do, the empire will be friendly with Goguryeo forever,"

"National letter," Yan Pi was stunned at first, and secretly said that Luan Yi had prepared the national letter early in the morning, which proved that he had long been ready to meet with him, and the reason why he refused to see him before was to leave him aside and make him anxious, thinking of this, the anger in his heart rose again,

But after reading the letter of state, he began to feel that he was the father of a villain with the heart of a gentleman, and the letter of state in front of him was not specially prepared for him, but was applicable to all vassal countries.

The national letter was printed by printing, which means that there is more than one such national letter, and the content is exactly the same, except for a blank space in the upper left corner, which is specially used to fill in the name of the vassal state.

Just like the national letter in front of me, the articles in it are all in a fixed printing format, only the three words "Goguryeo" were just written by Luan Yi, and the ink has not yet dried up.

As for the content, there are generally the following articles: first, the kings of Goguryeo must be crowned by the Holy Pope of the Chinese Empire and send the crown prince to Luoyang for education; 2. The Holy Chinese Empire will establish a consulate in the capital city of Goguryeo Maru, and send imperial officials in the consulate to supervise the operation of all Goguryeo rights and supervise Goguryeo's payment of part of the tax revenue to the empire; 3. The Holy Chinese Empire was to garrison troops in Goguryeo; 4. Goguryeo shall not in any way hinder the missionary mission of the Notre Dame Church in Goguryeo; 5. When the Holy Chinese Empire declared war on the outside world, Goguryeo was required to send troops to assist in the battle according to the requirements of the empire.

As long as Goguryeo agrees to the above five programs, the Holy Chinese Empire will not endanger the security of Goguryeo, and at the same time, when Goguryeo encounters invasion by other countries, or natural disasters**, the Holy Chinese Empire will provide full support to help Goguryeo tide over the difficulties, in addition, if Goguryeo needs, the empire can send senior craftsmen and agricultural personnel to Goguryeo to guide production,

After reading the so-called national letter of more than 3,000 words from beginning to end, Yan Pi was shocked, where is this Allied national letter, it is clearly a table of surrender drafted in place of Goguryeo, once signed, Goguryeo is no longer an independent kingdom, but a vassal of the Holy Chinese Empire,

"Your Majesty's Atonement...... This matter is a big matter, and the villain can't be the master, and this letter of state needs to be brought back to China by the villain and handed over to His Majesty the King for adjudication," Yan Pi said with a long sigh,

"Then you can take it back," Luan Yi stopped Yeonpi, who was getting up and leaving, "There is one thing that needs to be informed to you in advance, I want to use troops against Baekje Silla in the spring of next year, and I need to borrow a road from Goguryeo at that time, if by that time, your new king has not signed this credential, I don't mind killing him along the way,"

"Ah," Yan Pi was taken aback, "Your Majesty Xie reminds me that I will definitely beg my king to make a decision as soon as possible,"
