As the Central Plains Dynasty with a large economic scale that dominates the world, the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty have always been generous and tight in their rewards to various countries, and when it came to Shenzong, it went even further.

The previous king had a good return to the order, and there was a division to "estimate the tribute and give". For example, in the first year of Qianxing, the value of the tribute paid by Jiaozhou was estimated at 1,682 guan, and the emperor issued an edict to give back 2,000 guan. For example, in the sixth year of the Heavenly Sage, the incense medicine imported into the state was estimated at 3,600 guan, and the imperial court gave back 4,000 guan. However, in the Shenzong Dynasty, it was believed that "the estimate of tribute is a matter of injury", so it was stipulated that "the king's tribute is not estimated and given back, and the number of silk is ten thousand horses". For this reason, Su Dongpo has written several times to strongly oppose it, but it is useless, and Emperor Huizong's father still goes his own way.

It is said that the son inherits the father's business, not to mention other aspects, Huizong still inherited the mantle of his father in this regard.

It's just that now even he, who is used to being big-hearted, is a little worried that the Goryeo lion opened his mouth, indicating that this tribute worth hundreds of thousands is really a bit hot.

Zhao Ji was eager to ask for clarification immediately, but as a large country in the Central Plains that inherited the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Song State had a complete and cumbersome set of etiquette in receiving tribute envoys from various countries, and it was not known when it would take to complete this set of procedures. However, people will always be flexible, and the impatient Daojun Emperor set up a banquet in the palace in his personal name, and at the same time Xuan Goryeo's envoy Jin Fushi accompanied the banquet.

Because it is not a formal occasion, the atmosphere is not so formal, after the song and dance, Emperor Daojun asked casually: "In the past, Goryeo sent Li Shilang to our court, I don't know how he is doing?" ”

Of course, Jin Fushi knew who the Emperor of Song Guo was asking, it was Li Ziliang, the younger brother of Li Ziqian, the prisoner under the ranks. This person was an official in Goryeo and served in the Criminal Department, but he repeatedly served as an envoy to the Song State, and I have to say that Li Ziqian was supporting him behind him, so as to monopolize the diplomacy with the Song Dynasty.

"Li Ziqian and the traitor Li Ziqian conspired to rebel a few days ago, and the rebels have been uprooted by our lord, and the culprit Li Ziqian and Li Ziliang brothers. Cut in half at the corner of the street! "The heaviness on the face of Kim Fushi, the envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is half pretended, but the other half is sincere.

The world is completely insane. The giant in the Song Kingdom was so powerful that it was able to annex the Goryeo Kingdom, which had been established for two hundred years. Jin Fushi felt that he was also crazy, he actually tried his best to grab this errand to envoy Song Guo, and fulfill his big lie for the thief who destroyed the country.

But he had to.

Because if he doesn't do it, there will be 10,000 people rushing to do it. Because if he doesn't do it, he will spend the rest of his life in the countryside. Although it will not die, it is more torturous than death.

After all, he is a person who understands current affairs, so he has the false name of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of Goryeo. He knew that the title would expire when he returned to the land of the peninsula. However, the thousands of Koreans who remained on the peninsula did not even receive this false name. Li Ziqian and Han Anren have been brilliant for half a lifetime, but they have all retired from the stage of history at this time. If he Jin Fushi does not come forward at this time, there will be no one who is willing to speak for the Koreans among the most powerful people who will rule the peninsula in the future.

Thinking about it, he felt that everything was worth it again. When he fooled the faint monarch in front of him, who was not much better than Wang Yu Shengming, he actually had a kind of masochistic pleasure.

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Last year, I also announced that Li Shilang had an audience, and he even asked me in person for a boat! Zhao Ji obviously didn't expect his "old acquaintance" Li Ziliang to hang up. Speaking of which, they have only met a few times, but this person is good at flattery, and he is still very temperamental towards Zhao Ji.

Kim Fushi is by no means a pedantic person, since he has made up his mind to become the spokesman of the Goryeo people. The play is still very hard. At the moment, a scene of illusory rebellion was told vividly, and Zhao Ji said it was a pity that in his opinion, Li Ziliang was all affected by his brother Li Ziqian. Such a sensible person has also been with himself and poetry, although he is not of much level. But full of sincerity, how did he become a rebel and a thief?

Zhao Ji is an emotional person, and even if he is a little condescending, he said: "Does Wang Ji really have evidence to prove that Li Ziliang participated in the rebellion of the Li clan in Renzhou?" ”

Jin Fushi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said: "At that time, the war disaster swept the whole country, and the lord of our country mainly put down the rebellion seriously and quickly. ”

Zhao Ji was originally a casual remark, but he regretted it a little after speaking. After all, everyone is dead, so what is there to fight for? Besides, he and Li Ziliang are friends on several sides, and for this reason, he alienated a country that had the heart to take refuge in him, and he couldn't get it. Saying that, when he was remorseful, when he heard Jin Fushi's words, not only was all his worries gone, but his vanity suddenly swelled. You must know this kind of satisfaction, but no one in the country can give it to him. After all, he is in charge of the jobs of tens of millions of people, but he can't manage Goryeo. People don't serve you food, but they obey you, and that's completely due to the heavenly power of his Daojun Emperor.

"Good, good! Reward ......" Zhao Ji said three "good" words in succession, obviously very happy, and subconsciously prepared to reward, but when he remembered that the other party's intentions were a little unclear, he was a little confused, so he took the words back, and changed them to "business...... Business...... That's why the trade routes are blocked? A few years ago, the city ship secretary gave me a number of recitals, saying that every time our ships arrived in the waters off Goryeo, they were repeatedly intercepted and returned in vain, so that the number of merchant ships going to Goryeo dropped sharply, and I heard that the two countries did not come to China for more than a year...... I said at the time that Wang Aiqing was not a person from the Qin Dynasty, didn't he just put down the domestic rebellion and sent an envoy to report it? ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for understanding my lord's difficulties, and thank the Son of Heaven for my lord!" Jin Fushi knelt down after leaving the table, and looked at the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom as very comfortable, "The resumption of trade with the Great Song Dynasty, the lord of our country also attaches great importance to it, if the merchants of the Kingdom are willing to go to our country to trade, the ministers are willing to go with the merchants and guests when they return to China in Mingzhou!" ”

"Flat, Aiqing flat!" Zhao Ji laughed, how many years have passed, the first time he met such a sensible envoy of Fanguo, and immediately asked him to throw Li Ziliang to Java, and now this empathetic Jin Fushi's status in his heart is not ordinarily high.

"Aiqing, your lord sent an embassy this time, in addition to requesting the canonization of the prince, I don't know what other requirements there are?" No matter how happy I am coaxed, I still have to explore it, otherwise I will always hold things in my heart, and I won't even feel at ease when I go to Master Li.

Zhao Ji opened Chrysostom, Jin Fushi was not hypocritical, and bowed down again: "The lord of my country specially explained, the Song country is the country of the Son of Heaven, and Goryeo is a vassal of the Holy Dynasty. ”

Jin Fushi knelt down for a long time, but he didn't get a response from Zhao Ji, and he couldn't help but secretly ask if this request was a taboo. Just when he was apprehensive, he waited left and right, but finally waited for the saint's three words in the vernacular:

"That's all?" (To be continued......)
