As soon as Lu Chengqi was ready, a small yellow door came in and reported: "The Goryeo envoy Cui Jie'an is asking to see him outside the palace." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lu Chengqi, who was sitting in the Chongzheng Palace, smoothed his clothes a little and said, "Xuan! ”

Not long after, under the guidance of Xiao Huangmen, Cui Jie'an came to the Chongzheng Hall alone. He just wanted to greet Lu Chengqi's physical condition on behalf of Wang Hui, the king of Goryeo, according to etiquette, but was stopped by Lu Chengqi: "Lord Cui, it's not the first time I've seen you, so there's no need for extra etiquette, let's get straight to the point." I heard that you, Master Cui, have been asking to see me for a few days, what is the matter? ”

Cui Jie'an was a little out of proportion by Lu Chengqi's trick of not playing cards according to the routine, but fortunately, he experienced a lot of battles and quickly adjusted back. He bowed and said, "My king has sent his ministers to your country to ask for your majesty's forgiveness. ”

Lu Chengqi was a little surprised, stunned for a moment, pretended not to know and said, "Oh, have you made any mistakes in the Goryeo Kingdom, why did you ask for forgiveness?" ”

Cui Jie'an has already seen Lu Chengqi's acting skills, in this era, Lu Chengqi is a master among the masters who talks nonsense with his eyes open, and he has a black belly. Cui Jie'an already has a certain immunity. Regarding Lu Chengqi's cheekiness, Cui Jie'an's way is to go straight to the point with a single knife and never drag the mud and water: "Your Majesty should know that I Gaoli switched to the Liao State and regarded the Liao State as the suzerain, right?" If not, why did Your Majesty order a blockade of trade with our country? ”

Lu Chengqi said "suddenly realized": "It turned out that this was this matter, I was busy with political affairs for a while, but I forgot about it. In that case, it's your Goryeo country, isn't it? ”

Cui Jie'an hurriedly hit the snake with the stick and said: "Because of this, my king sent a minister to tell His Majesty about his hardships......

Lu Chengqi sighed and said, "This is what is wrong with you Gaoli, you know that I don't share the sky with the Liao country, why do you want to switch to the Liao country?" Isn't it true that my Dashun has the ability to keep your Goryeo Kingdom? ”

Cui Jie'an suddenly cried bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know how cruel the Liao Kingdom is!" Every time I invade the border and fight the grass valley, the people of my Goryeo country are miserable, and my king has pity on the people, so he has to turn Liao State as the suzerain. But I have no hostility towards Dashun in Goryeo, and this heart can be learned! ”

Through the secret report of the Supervision Department, Lu Chengqi has learned that there are now some disadvantages of losing Dashun, an economic power and a technological power, although it is not obvious, it only stays among the Goryeo nobles, but it also makes many Goryeo nobles a little unbearable. Without Daesoon's spices, tea, ivory, silk and other bulk goods, the life of the Goryeo aristocracy was no different from the life of ordinary people, and their superiority could not be reflected at all. One of the hidden drawbacks was that a large number of Goryeo merchants who depended on trade between the two countries had gone bankrupt or had to start other trades, and there were also complaints against the Goryeo court. The once prosperous economy of Goryeo suddenly went into recession. Such a change made Wang Hui a little frightened, and he had to quickly send an envoy over to apologize to Dashun, hoping to reopen trade between the two countries.

With the first-hand information of the Goryeo Kingdom, Lu Chengqi was in an invincible position. He pretended to think seriously, but said in his heart: "These Goryeo sticks are first-class in acting." Don't make you feel distressed for a while, you don't know how good I am! By the way, how did I forget this excuse? ”

Lu Chengqi had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly made a gloomy face, and said angrily: "Master Cui, are you a fool when I am a fool?" Goryeo, Liao and Dashun, in the Youyun region, are in a triangular situation. If the border trade is released, what if the Khitans suddenly attack my Dashun through this trade route? The sixteen states of Youyun are the gateway to the Central Plains of my Dashun, how can I lose big because of a small one? Although I don't know how to fight, I still have such a vision. If you make such an rude request again, I will definitely ask someone to drive you out, and you will not be allowed to set foot in the territory of Dashun in this life! ”

Cui Jie'an didn't expect Lu Chengqi's reaction to be so big, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to say in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I, Gaoli, have no such heart, no such heart!" ”

Lu Chengqi darkened his face and said: "As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. I am so disappointed in you Goryeo, how can I not be guarded? No matter what you say, I can't agree to open border trade again, you die of this heart! ”

Cui Jie'an cried and begged: "Your Majesty, I, Goryeo, am willing to send the prince to Dashun to see that my Goryeo will never infringe on Dashun's heart, and I will not help Liao to invade the Dashun border!" ”

Lu Chengqi snorted coldly and said, "How can a mere son compare to the lives of millions of border people in Dashun?" ”

Cui Jie'an didn't expect Lu Chengqi's attitude to be so resolute, he had no idea for a while, and he couldn't help but panic a little when he thought of the earnest advice of the king of Goryeo, Wang Hui. There are also many political enemies in Goryeo, and there are many people who are angry with him, if he can't complete the mission this time, after returning to Goryeo, his life will not be easy.

"However," Lu Chengqi suddenly changed his words, making Cui Jie'an, who was already desperate, seem to have caught a life-saving straw, and immediately raised his head when he heard the words, looking at Lu Chengqi with a blank eye, which made Lu Chengqi feel very funny. "I'm not an unreasonable person, as long as you Goryeo retreat the troops around Hunxi Road to the vicinity of your so-called Xijing, I can consider reopening border trade."

Cui Jie'an blurted out: "Impossible! ”

"Huh?" Lu Chengqi looked directly at Cui Jie'an, looked at Cui Jie'an, and said in his heart: "This little emperor is really shrewd, if my Goryeo army retreats to Xijing, then the hinterland of Goryeo will be in no danger to defend." If Dashun justifiably incorporated all the Hunxi Dao into his own territory, wouldn't I, Goryeo, live under the blade of Dashun every day? This plan is absolutely not good! ”

Cui Jie'an shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is too strong, this method, the minister has no power to decide, and the minister also believes that my king will never agree to this condition." ”

Lu Chengqi knew that the Goryeo sticks were extremely eager for land, and they were small countries and widows, and they wanted to become a country like Liao or Dashun day and night. It's a pity that Goryeo was born underdeveloped, and this idea is just a delusion. When did you not obediently give back the land you secretly snatched? If anyone wanted to covet their land, it would be like taking away their heart, and they would never agree to it.

Lu Chengqi also took a fancy to this, firmly controlled the death of the Goryeo people, and put forward land demands, so that Goryeo himself would retreat. With a cold snort, Lu Chengqi said angrily: "Since you are insincere, don't talk about this matter." I have a lot of political affairs, and I don't have time to spend time here. If you figure it out, go directly to the cabinet to talk to Liu Geng and Liu Qing! ”

Lu Chengqi pretended to be angry and strode out of the Chongzheng Palace, and the little chamberlain behind him hurriedly said: "The emperor is driving, everyone avoids!" He followed out step by step, leaving only Cui Jie'an with a confused face, he had no idea now, so he could only send someone back to Goryeo, tell Wang Hui, the king of Goryeo, and let Wang Hui make a decision.
