Chapter 41: Difficult Matters at the Imperial Court
As soon as these words came out, the generals in the palace immediately asked for orders to fight. Injong stopped everyone and sighed lightly, "This contempt for the imperial court is really the fault of the Goryeo royal family alone!"
However, if he rashly sent troops, the Wang clan might not be executed in a battle, but he would cause the people of Goryeo to suffer, which was really something that Renjun did not do.
Seeing this, the official said no more and left in a huff. 'The emperor really deserves to be a benevolent monarch, even the people of other countries are so sorry!
Wang Yuanheng said in his heart. Just thinking about it, as the palace people in front of the palace said, "If there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat from", when the hundred officials were about to disperse, "Slow!"
A shout rang out, and a man walked up to the temple with a loud roar. Renzong saw that this person was the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, Mishuer.
Seeing his arrogant attitude, Renzong said, "O envoy of the Vulna, don't you know the etiquette of my state!"
As soon as Renzong spoke, all the officials in the hall immediately accused the man. But Mishuel didn't care, only 'snorted' in his nose and still looked up at the sky.
His legs also began to shake constantly. Seeing that this person was so arrogant, Wang Yuanheng couldn't help it, so he tore off a pearl on the curtain and quietly shot it at the man's leg with a yang finger technique.
Mishuel only felt a numbness in his legs, and suddenly couldn't help but kneel. After Renzong ordered someone to help Mishuer up, he asked, 'Does the Qing family have something to do?'
Mishuel stumbled in front of the ministers at this time, and said angrily, "Naturally, there is something to play!"
Renzong said slowly. Mishuel glanced at everyone in the hall, and raised his head and said, "My national teacher, 'Dragon Elephant Mage', has long admired the Central Plains martial arts talents, and wants to set up a ring in the capital to compete with the Central Plains martial arts people, so as to compete with the two countries!
Renzong nodded and said, "Martial arts competitions are a common thing in martial arts, but the competition between countries is not ordinary;
Hearing this, Mishuer's face turned righteous and said, "Our country is willing to take four of the sixteen states of Youyun as a note; if the Great Song Dynasty wins, our lord will offer the four states with both hands!"
''Then what if you win?'' Renzong asked as he stopped the discussion of everyone in the hall. Mishuel raised his eyebrows and said, 'If we win, your country will pay us a tribute, six million taels a year!'
Seeing that he was aggressive, Renzong said angrily, "I am a dignified country, how can I be afraid of your corner of the state!"
Seeing that Renzong was angry, Mishuer hurriedly bowed and dropped a sentence: "In this way, your majesty will go back to your life!"
Then he fled and left the temple. After the hundred officials dispersed, Renzong came to Wang Yuanheng's side, "Royal brother, I have wronged you" Wang Yuanheng was stunned, and hurriedly responded, "Compared to the imperial brother's work for the national government, how can the younger brother be enough" Renzong bowed slightly, and suddenly choked up a little and said, "Everyone in the world is happy and comfortable as an emperor, but who ......knows the suffering?"
Seeing this, Wang Yuanheng hurriedly comforted, "For the sake of the people, Brother Lao Huang suffered" Renzong smiled with satisfaction, and then he looked right, "It's just that this Chenzhou disaster relief embezzlement of silver taels still needs to be given to the Empress Dowager!"
So, the two hurried to the Tianyi Palace together. Soon after he sat down, Renzong got up and said, 'Grandmother: My grandson has come today to discuss something.
The Empress Dowager was stunned, "The emperor has something, but please tell me." The day before yesterday, my grandson heard a report that Chenzhou had been hit by a disaster, that grain production had been reduced, and that the people's livelihood had been in dire straits; after inquiry, he learned that the locust plague in Chenzhou was indeed serious, with grain production reduced by more than 60 percent, and tens of thousands of victims were displaced.
''Oh, it's so serious!' the Queen Mother was taken aback. Renzong paused and said, "After Gu understood the situation, he immediately arranged for the household department to allocate funds for disaster relief, but because of the huge gap, the household department could not take out enough silver taels to help the victims for a while; therefore, Sun Er took out the repair funds for the imperial garden and other places this year and next year to fill the gap, but there was still a lot of shortage; this morning, the minister pressed forward step by step; in desperation, I had to agree to first allocate the millions of taels for the birthday of the imperial grandmother for disaster relief, in order to solve the urgent need."
''The emperor handled it wisely and properly, and the mourning family had nothing to say. The Empress Dowager nodded in response. Seeing the Empress Dowager's approval, Renzong was overjoyed and said, 'In this way, the people of Chenzhou have thanked the imperial grandmother on behalf of my ancestors!'
He has a lot of money, and his grandson will make up for your old man!' The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "This world is the world of the Zhao family, and the people of the world are also the people of the Zhao family;
During the banquet, seeing that Renzong was still frowning and looking preoccupied, the Empress Dowager asked, 'The matter of disaster relief in Chenzhou has been resolved, why is the emperor still depressed?'
Grandmother didn't know, today in the court, the envoy of the Jin State proposed: the country's national teacher should set up a competition in the capital, because the envoy was aggressive, the grandson agreed in a hurry.
Renzong replied. "Since the ancient road", the soldiers will block the water and come to the earth, just find someone and compete with him!
How do you ......?" said the Empress Dowager. "I thought the same way, but I was afraid that no one among the guards of the forbidden army was the opponent of the 'Dragon Elephant Mage', and he would lose the dignity of the country," Renzong replied.
'What kind of character is the 'Dragon Elephant Mage' that can make the emperor so jealous?' the Empress Dowager asked.
Renzong's face turned pale and said, "It is said that this dragon elephant has defeated the thirty-six warriors of the grassland when he was young. When he was young, after studying Confucianism for several years, he studied martial arts under a master in the Tianshan Mountains; after Yicheng came down the mountain, after defeating the martial arts masters of the Central Plains one by one, he suddenly became interested in Buddhist scriptures.
After many years, this person has been a martial arts, Buddhism is extremely profound, and has a far-reaching influence in the northern grasslands; the Khitan lord at that time admired his reputation and hired him as a national teacher, after the Khitan was destroyed by the Jin State, perhaps because this person's cultivation was really profound, he was worshiped by the Jin State as a national teacher, and participated in the government affairs.
It is rumored that this person was invincible in the world 20 years ago! After listening to Renzong's explanation of the origin of the Dragon Elephant Master in one breath, Wang Yuanheng comforted Renzong and said, "There are many strange people in the Central Plains martial arts, and they will be able to subdue this person!"
Don't worry too much, brother. Renzong nodded and said, "The imperial brother is famous, and he is involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but there are suitable candidates, so he can recommend them to Lone!"
So, Wang Yuanheng told Renzong about some of the famous masters in the martial arts that he knew.
After hearing this, Renzong immediately ordered someone to go and inform the masters of various sects and factions to come to the capital to participate in the competition.
