The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2023 The Report of Defeat Goryeo

This matter seems meaningless, but in Song Dynasty, it is the most meaningful.

In the final analysis, the strength of a country does not lie in soldiers or economy, but in people's hearts.Because the hearts of the people are united, the army must be strong, the industry must prosper, and a hundred flowers must bloom.

Zhao Dongting's move is to appease people's hearts, but at the same time it is of course "buying" people's hearts.

Even if all the people present are great talents of the country, apart from the dean Luo Wen, Wang Wenfu and other scholarly leaders, even if the master of Guigu Palace has a strategy in mind, even if they are not so conspicuous, they are also the masters of a department like Zhu Hecong.

It is no exaggeration to say that all of them are educated and well-educated.

But at this time, there are only a few people who can understand the profound meaning of Zhao Dongting's move, and they can be counted with a slap.There was a slight gleam in their eyes.

Lu Xiufu is the top leader of civil servants, Wang Wenfu who knows the hearts of the people well, and then there is the unfathomable Master of Guigu who taught Duan Qilin, Qin Hanna and other characters. Zhong Jian in the circle.

no more.

Even Dean Luo, who is pedantic about heaven and man, did not comprehend its profound meaning.

It seems that it is a very good idea to let Zhong Jian go to various departments to hone his skills.

Zhao Dongting was a little complacent.

When he asked Zhong Jian to go to various ministries to sharpen his training, he undoubtedly had the idea of ​​letting Zhong Jian take over the post of state affairs order in the future. First, let him be familiar with the duties of each ministries, and second, let him know the officials of each ministries.Now it seems that Zhong Jian has made progress beyond his expectations.

Being able to realize the big fundamentals from the "little things" in this pension letter shows that Zhong Jian's mind and vision are already top-notch.

"There are also officials from various ministries and regions who have made meritorious service in this campaign, and they will also be rewarded."

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down again, and said to Lu Xiufu: "Decree of the State Department, this matter is up to your Ministry of State Affairs, let the Ministry of Officials draw up a book!"

……

When it was quite dark, the ministers left the imperial study room.

Thinking about it, until the end of the new year, the court will be quite busy.

Koryo country.

Here is along the coast and north of the Central Plains, so it will be colder afterwards.By this time, people in the country have already put on thick mattresses.

There are fewer pedestrians on the road than in warmer weather.

The opening of the capital city is quite lively.

The previous panic caused by Zheng Yihang and Mori leading the army to seize Quanzhou and other places has quietly dissipated after more than nine months of calm.

When Zhao Dongting delivered the decree to Zheng Yihang, he also wrote a letter to the Ryukyu ruler A Xinghuang, and A Xinghuang immediately sent the decree to Mori who was far away in Koryo.

Not long after Mori received the compensation from Korea, he received the order from Emperor Asinga, and led the army back to Ryukyu triumphantly with countless treasures.

Of course he made a lot of money in Koryo. Although the treasures accumulated by the Koryo treasury over the years were only divided into a small part, they could greatly enrich their Ryukyu treasury.

Zheng Yihang led a total of [-] brothers from the Dixiong Army and the Wolu Defense Army and stayed in Koryo, living a fairy life.

They are still stationed in Annan City, and they will not cause chaos or retreat.All the government affairs of Annan City were also handed over to the Goryeo court, and they did not interfere in the slightest. However, the Koryo king Wang Yan had to take the initiative to bear their military expenses.

He didn't dare to wait for Zheng Yihang to bring it up, because he was worried that when Zheng Yihang raised it, the lion would open his mouth again.There must be a purpose for the Song army to be stationed here.He doesn't care about the victory or defeat between Song and Yuan, what he wants is to have both ways, and neither side will offend.

The [-] army does not sound like a lot, but the supply of its expenses is undoubtedly worse for Korea, whose treasury is already empty.It's all miserable up and down.

The two finance ministers in a row couldn't stand the pressure, one retired and returned to his hometown, and the other was dismissed by Wang Yan.

The past few months should be regarded as a nightmare for Wang Yan, and even his gray hair has increased a lot.Distraught, he had quarreled countless times with the always respectful queen Kudulu Jieli, and the backyard was on fire.

Fortunately, it finally survived.

Just a few days ago, news finally came from the Yuan Dynasty.The dispute between the Song and Yuan Dynasties ended, and the Yuan Dynasty was defeated, and the Yuan Emperor asked to surrender.

When reading this emergency report, both Wang Yan and Kudulu Jieli were present.

"Failed..."

Kudulu Jieli lost to be the princess of the Yuan Dynasty after all, and she still has the Yuan Dynasty in her heart.In addition, for more than half a year, I was really exhausted physically and mentally. I couldn't hold on when I heard the news, so I fainted like that.

Wang Yan hurriedly asked to help Kudulu Jieli lost, his face was full of regret, grief and indignation.But when he brought several important ministers from the court to the imperial study to discuss matters, everyone could see that the king was in a good mood.

Perhaps in the past nine months, this is the time when the sovereign is in the best mood.

And even Wang Yan probably never thought that he would be so happy after hearing the news of the defeat of the Yuan Dynasty.It was also when his queen was in a coma just now that he suddenly figured out some key points.

The Yuan Dynasty was defeated, so he didn't need to have both sides to survive in the cracks.The way forward is definitely to surrender to Song Dynasty.

This is what makes him feel better.

Sometimes, having no choice is more comfortable than having a choice.

Furthermore, these Song troops who are still in the country will definitely not stay here for a long time, until all these unprovoked ancestors have retreated.They shouldn't have to live in such a miserable life.

There is also selfishness, that is, you don't have to be restrained by your own mother-in-law anymore.

After the Yuan Emperor surrendered, Kudulu Jieli lost her strong backing, and those ministers who supported her were bound to fall apart.He, Wang Yan, is also an ambitious person, and he can take this opportunity to truly rule Korea.

Although he has no ambition to become a sweeping emperor like Zhao Dongting, he is absolutely unwilling to look at his wife's face in his own country.He is the real lord of this country, the person who flows the most noble blood of this country.

There are some things that cannot be compromised by love or not.

It wasn't until he went back to the palace to visit his queen that worry, grief and indignation appeared on Wang Yan's face again.

But the few important officials who came out of his imperial study were all excited and couldn't hide their joy.

Jin Qingze, who was highly valued, only went home and drank his saliva, explained to his family, and hurried to Annan City with dozens of riders.

In the past nine months, he has become the mouthpiece between Wang Yan and Zheng Yihang, and he often travels between Kaijing and Annan City. There has been no friction between the two, and he has worked hard.

Some people in the Korean court even joked that according to how often Lord Jin ran to Annan City, the official road from Beijing to Annan City would be full of the smell of Lord Jin's stinky feet.

On this day, Jin Qingze, who went to Annan City to meet Zheng Yihang, invited Zheng Yihang to Kaijing City on behalf of Wang Yan to discuss the matter of becoming a minister.

Of course Zheng Yihang had already received the news at this time, although it was only two days ago, he was not surprised by Jin Qingze's intention to come.

Apart from proclaiming himself a vassal, the Lord of Korea obviously had no other choice.
