Goryeo sent an envoy to Liao, and Lu Chengqi received a secret report from the supervisor more than ten days later. I have to say that the Koreans have done a very good job of secrecy, and the supervisors who have been lurking in Goryeo have not received any news. This news was secretly learned by the inspectors lurking in the Liao State, and through the most secret channels, it was sent to the Uighurs, and then the inspectors disguised as caravans came back. After all, the Shunliao border is now at war, and it is difficult to enter and exit, and the search is very strict.

After many days of tossing and turning, it took more than ten days before it was returned to Lu Chengqi. At this moment, when the battle of Youzhou City was in full swing, after Lu Chengqi saw it, he immediately became angry, and immediately asked the cabinet ministers, the six Shangshu, and all the generals of the military staff to come to the palace to meet him.

When all the ministers arrived, Lu Chengqi had not yet appeared. But the sharp-eyed ministers all found out, and the attendants who were serving on the side didn't dare to take a deep breath. Such a depressing atmosphere caused all the ministers to talk and speculate about what was going on.

After a short time, Lu Chengqi entered through the palace gate, and the anger on his face that had calmed down after all kinds of efforts was now calm. After Lu Chengqi took his seat, he said, "Give Zhu Qing a seat." ”

The chamberlains did not dare to slack off, and immediately brought chairs and waited for the ministers to take their seats. All the ministers did not dare to sit on it, they all owed their bodies, and sat halfway.

After Lu Chengqi and the other attendants put the tea on the table, they waved them away and asked them to close the door of the palace. For a while, the vertical arch hall, which had no light to enter, seemed a little dark.

And Lu Chengqi's face is not very sunny at the moment, and a clear-eyed person can know that it is shrouded in a layer of cold light at a glance. The people sitting in the vertical arch hall are all big people who have mastered the absolute power of the Great Shun Dynasty. Except for the regular dynasty, I have never seen such a neat group of people get together to discuss national affairs. The officials also knew in their hearts that someone must have angered Lu Chengqi, otherwise Lu Chengqi would not have fought such a big battle.

The twelve cabinet ministers are: Xu Chongguang, Jiang Ying, Zhu Xucai, Wei Xujing, Zheng Yan, Sun Leping, Cao Wenzhong, He Yunli, Shi Wenfei, Zhang Siming, Lu Zhenduan, and Zhao Yuanyi. The six Shangshu are: Feng Chengping, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wu Xianzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Qin Yikang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Huang Xishi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Lin Zhenzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Zhou Yanhua, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Jiang Yu, the privy envoy of the Military Staff Department, and the deputy privy envoys Pan Xingyi and Peng Jinkang. The rest of the military staff were not summoned, they were mostly descendants of nobles, and they did not have much real talent.

It can be said that the holders of the supreme power of the Great Shun Dynasty are all in the heavily guarded vertical arch hall at this moment, and all the officials are looking at Lu Chengqi nervously, waiting for his thunder.

Who would have expected Lu Chengqi to say calmly: "I just received a report from the Supervision Department......" Hearing this, the officials suddenly felt a "chuckle" in their hearts, and what the officials are most afraid of hearing now is the words Supervision Department and Supervisor, even if they are not greedy, dirty, or bribed, they are also nervous, and their legs tremble when they hear these two terms.

"The Kingdom of Korea has switched to the Kingdom of Liao." After Lu Chengqi calmly finished saying this, the officials breathed a sigh of relief. I just breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment I reacted: "Huh? ”

The officials looked at each other, unable to believe this. Goryeo has always been a vassal state of Dashun since the founding of Dashun, so why did it suddenly switch to Liao today and regard Liao as its suzerain?

Lu Chengqi said calmly: "That's the truth, Zhu Qing thinks that how to treat Goryeo in the future, whether to attack or alienate and prevent, draw up the charter now." ”

At this time, Feng Chengping, who had been vaccinated, immediately said: "What Your Majesty said to the minister before is good, there are no eternal enemies between countries, and there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Although this is a bit rough, the truth is real. Goryeo switched to Liao, all because I Dashun couldn't give him the benefits he wanted. That's how the minister understands it. ”

Xu Chongguang frowned and said: "Was it too harsh on the Goryeo envoys last time, I heard that His Majesty only brought back some sustenances for them, I'm afraid this matter is the fuse......

Lu Chengqi calmly accepted Xu Chongguang's criticism and said, "What Xu Qing said is good, but I don't think I did anything wrong. If such a vassal state betrays the suzerainty for the sake of interests, don't do it, and the provincial government will stab him in the back when the time comes. Now it's clear that we have precautions, which is good. We were so stupid before, we used tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of money every year to curry favor with a white-eyed wolf, and in vain to enhance the strength of potential enemies. I want to remind you here, 'If you don't pay tribute, don't cede land, don't pay compensation, don't make peace with relatives, and those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!' This sentence is not just said as a slogan, but it is to be made. Isn't that the reward in return the same amount as paying tribute? Although I am not a wise man, I am still very clear about this. Between countries, there will be no other points of contention other than interests. Since the Goryeo Kingdom has made this decision, it will accept the punishment of doing so. ”

If Lu Chengqi said these words with thunder, the officials still felt that Lu Chengqi was normal. Which emperor who wants to save face is not angry when he encounters this kind of thing? If you have a bad temper, you have to use a knife.

But Lu Chengqi said it so lightly, but it made the officials present feel excited, they knew that such a Lu Chengqi was absolutely abnormal. The consequences of abnormalities are often very serious. As the saying goes, when the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses will be ambushed, and this is the truth.

Xu Chongguang said cautiously: "Then what does Your Majesty mean, how to punish the Goryeo Kingdom?" ”

Lu Chengqian looked at him calmly and said, "Right now, the Liao State is violating my border, and there is no strength left to deal with Goryeo. For the time being, he secretly dispatched the box army to act as a border army and go to the Goryeo border to guard for a while. Adding the newly recruited soldiers to the forbidden army, I now need an army that can fight to protect my rivers and mountains. ”

The officials were silent, and they also knew the consequences of the rebellion of the Goryeo Kingdom. At this moment, around Dashun, there are not many countries close to Dashun. Because there were no Tufan, Dali, and Western Xia in this time and space, the surrounding Uighurs (Huifu, including Xizhou Uighurs, Huangtou Uighurs), Khotan, Black Khan, Khorezm, Tianzhu, Bagan, Jiaozhi (Annam), and Japan all had some opinions about Dashun, and even if they didn't, they didn't like Dashun, and it wasn't friendly anyway. This is like hating the rich, but they are not strong enough and dare not come over to get a piece of the pie. But on the surface, it seems to be very affectionate, but as soon as Liao Guo spoke, they didn't dare to have close contact with Dashun.

Now Dashun has lost its last ally and is strategically at an extremely disadvantaged position. It's no wonder that Lu Chengqi is so angry, and the people who fall into the well are usually the most hated.

"Your Majesty is right, the treasury does not support a war on both sides now, and the strength of the Goryeo Kingdom cannot be underestimated, and it is difficult to capture it urgently. If there is a war between the two sides, I will definitely lose. The only way to deal with the immediate plan is to swallow your anger, follow the example of the Qin State, make friends from afar, and attack closely, so as to gain time. ”
