"The father's heart, the son's heart is understood, and the son-in-law is really grateful to the father. But the son has made up his mind, and he must complete the important task given by his father! He replied angrily, "Erchen is not very old now, but he is confident that he can already share the worries of his father, Ganluo can be an envoy to the country at the age of twelve, he can win five cities for the country, and become the secretary, and Erchen is already fourteen years old, how can he be mediocre?" Erchen is just a little reluctant to give up the prosperity of the capital, but his desire to serve the country has not moved at all. Erchen ...... After the sons and daughters go here, at most they will stay in the capital at night to remember the capital and their father and mother, and they will never flinch on weekdays, and please rest assured that the father and the emperor will not worry! ”

"You are sincere......" Seeing that he didn't say big things, saying that he would still be nostalgic for the capital, the emperor couldn't help laughing, "Okay, no matter what, I understand your intentions, then I hope you will do things well, you don't have to worry about my side, I will give you whatever you want, there will be no hesitation, you just need to do your own things well." ”

Then he suddenly looked up and looked at the courtiers beside him, all of whom stood respectfully in the distance, and no one could hear the secret words between father and son.

"Besides, I have some things to tell you."

"Please make it clear to my father!" The prince said immediately.

"You are a sincere child, in fact, this is very good, governing the country is to be honest to all the people, less treacherous tricks, but you yourself are sincere, but you can't feel that others are also sincere, you must pay more attention to others. You are the crown prince, everyone will be respectful to you, flatter you and please you, this time you are on patrol instead of me, especially so, whether it is the people of the country or the Koreans, they will be full of slander to you, you must not be confused, be sober, sober! You have to think about it, in this world, few people will sincerely bow to others, they are respectful to you, either they are afraid of you, or they just want to take advantage of you, you can't be dizzy because they flatter you, they will do whatever they ask you to do, you must always remember to keep your sobriety and assertiveness! ”

"Erchen understood." The crown prince listened to his father's teachings, and finally he nodded.

"Well, in fact, when my father said this, it's not that I can't believe you, but the situation in Goryeo is far more complicated than I thought before." The emperor lowered his voice slightly, "I didn't expect that when you went to Goryeo, in addition to the rear of the main town, you would have to wade into troubled waters again!" ”

"What does my father mean by this?" The prince didn't quite understand what his father meant.

"A few days ago, the Cabinet received a report from the mission in Goryeo, and because the matter is very important, they immediately forwarded the report to me and asked me to make a decision." The emperor lowered his head and looked at the crown prince, and his face suddenly became solemn, "They report that recently, Li Hui, the lord of Goryeo, has behaved badly, and seems to have become more and more disrespectful to our embassy, and he has become more and more disrespectful to the opinions of the mission, and there seem to be signs of complaining that our court interfered too much in Goryeo......"

"Is the lord of Goryeo wrong?" The prince was taken aback.

He didn't expect that Goryeo would be dissatisfied with the Han at this juncture, after all, he went to the rear of the headquarters this time to lead the attack on Japan, but he very much needed the cooperation of the Goryeo court, if the Goryeo court was restricted, God knows how much trouble it would bring him.

"Father...... Is there some misunderstanding in this? After thinking for a moment, he immediately asked, "Erchen didn't participate in state politics before, so I don't know much, but it seems that the lord of Goryeo has always been very respectful to my court, not to mention, a while ago, he specifically requested that the daughter of the clan be sacrificed to Erchen as a concubine, this doesn't look like some bad intentions?" ”

"What? Send you two clan daughters and you will help everyone speak? The emperor glanced at the crown prince. That's a big grow. ”

"That's not what Erchen meant!" The prince was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly defended himself again, "Erchen just wants to ...... If the lord of Goryeo is disrespectful to our court, then shouldn't he still be trying to curry favor with the court? Besides, the mission's report is only one side of the story, and there may be any misunderstanding in it. The Emperor could summon the envoys of Goryeo and ask them what was going on. ”

Seeing his son's embarrassed and nervous appearance, the emperor couldn't help but laugh again, "Haha, just kidding, look at you nervous!" What you said makes sense, but when I received the report, I was also skeptical, so I summoned the envoys of Goryeo and asked him about it. ”

This envoy of Goryeo is naturally Li Ke. The prince thought to himself.

Because it is a Goryeo clan and is familiar with the situation in Goryeo, Li Ke will also go to Goryeo with him as a minister with him this time, if there is really a change in Goryeo, it will be really troublesome.

"Envoy...... What did the envoy say? He asked cautiously.

"The interesting part is here, I just hinted at it, but the envoy reacted very much, sternly denying the accusation that the lord of Goryeo was dissatisfied with our dynasty, insisting that the lord of Goryeo was able to restore the country by relying on our dynasty, so he was grateful to the court, and there was absolutely no wrong thought, and the accusation was groundless." The Emperor shook his head, obviously puzzled by the situation, "On the contrary, he also vaguely accused the mission, saying that it was arrogant and domineering in Goryeo, which made Goryeo miserable. He said that the lord of Goryeo had already made compromises and basically responded to the mission's requests, but some people in the mission were too eager to fill it, and it was really difficult for Goryeo to support it step by step, so the lord of Goryeo had no choice but to refuse some excessively demanding requests, which made the mission suspicious. ”

"This ......," the prince was even more surprised, "isn't this the opposite accusation against the mission?" ”

"yes, that's right, even if he said it cryptically, that's pretty much what he meant." The emperor sneered, "Look, you haven't gone out yet, this important matter has been entangled in you, and the Goryeo court and the embassy in Goryeo have fought a pen battle, which is really rare." The Goryeo mission said very seriously, and a large number of strokes and ink were exaggerating the bad intentions of the lord of Goryeo, and there was also a sense of meaning, wanting the imperial court to simply order that the lord of the country should choose a young son from the clan as the prince of Goryeo on the grounds that the lord had no heirs......"

The prince bit his lip tightly and fell into thought. Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, if he followed their advice, then the lord of Goryeo would be directly deposed and deposed.

In his opinion, Goryeo was a vassal state of the Han Dynasty and should obey the Han court, and if the lord really did anything wrong, he should be punished; However, after all, a vassal state was a vassal state, and if the lord was wronged by listening to rumors and abolished without authorization, it would really damage China's face and even more detrimental to the stability of Goryeo.

"They are so adamant about their own words, so in the eyes of the father, which side is reasonable? What should we do? After pondering for a long time, he intended to get some instructions from his father.

"Didn't you say you could be on your own? Still ask me? The father frowned, "I'm thousands of miles away, how can I know the specific situation of Goryeo?" You go, you see, figure it out for yourself, do what you have to do! ”

Do you want me to identify the situation and then deal with it?

The crown prince now understands, why did his father hesitate so much about his trip just now, it turned out that the unexpected situation in Goryeo made him feel a little tricky, and he was afraid that the prince would be at a loss to deal with it, that is, after he expressed his determination without hesitation, his father decided to let him do it.

"Erchen...... Erchen ...... "The prince was a little nervous, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"You said those words just now, you said it beautifully, but it's useless to just say it, you have to do it, and you have to do it seriously!" The emperor stared at the crown prince, "Since you were originally scheduled to go to Goryeo, then the problems of Goryeo will be handed over to you to handle, and you can decide the disputes between the lord of Goryeo and the embassy alone, and you can do whatever you want!" ”

"Father...... The retainers were terrified. The crown prince was a little surprised, he found that the burden on his body had been added to another layer, "The son's trip is for the battle of the main town to conquer the day, so it's not good to be distracted to deal with the internal affairs of Goryeo, right?" Moreover, Erchen did not have similar experience before, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with it impartially, which would damage the national prestige of our country...... The father and emperor should simply send another Qin to investigate, and find out the matter before dealing with it. ”

"You were so proud of what you said just now, why are you afraid now?" The emperor frowned again, obviously dissatisfied with his answer, "You are the crown prince, you are the top person in the imperial court, you have the entire imperial court as the backing, and you also have me as the backing, how could you do wrong?" No matter what you do, whether it is the Goryeo court or the Goryeo mission, you can only accept it, and if they don't listen, you can kill whom! ”

Doesn't my father mean that he can do whatever he wants in Goryeo?

The crown prince did not feel the excitement, but became more and more nervous, because he knew that unchecked power meant unlimited responsibility, and he received from his father the power to deal with the disputes between the Goryeo court and the mission, which meant that all the consequences should be borne by himself, and every decision he made would directly determine the fate of thousands of people.

It sounded very pleasant, but the pressure of the mountains made it a little unbearable for him all of a sudden.

"Father's ......"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, since you want to be alone, then you have to do it to the end, what is not bad, you can do it alone. Is there anything else you need to be afraid of with thousands of troops in your hands? The emperor stretched out his hand, held the prince's shoulders, and then shook it vigorously, "You have to be happy, when you arrive in Goryeo, no matter what you do, it is right, this Goryeo country will be handed over to you, you can do whatever you want." ”
