...

On the court of Goryeo.

Emperor Ruizong of Goryeo King Matato asked all his officials with a livid face: "Who will tell the lonely king when Tamna County was occupied by others, and by whom, and how many people and ships are there in the enemy?"

As soon as Wang Yu's voice fell, the hall fell silent!
After a while, when Wang Yu was about to get angry, a middle-aged man in his forties came out and said, "Your Majesty, according to the report from General Li who went to Tamna County to investigate the situation, Tamna The county has already established a county city, and there are a large number of immigrants, the number should not be less than [-]. There are about three leaders fighting with them, of which [-] are brave, and the rest are all guaranteed victories. The enemy ships should not be many and fast, because Li The general and the others did not dare to pursue the enemy when they retreated when they saw that the enemy was too powerful."

Wang Yu couldn't help frowning, but he soon revealed his face again, and said, "What guesses does the Grand Master have about this group of people?"

This Gaoli grand master and Li Yan belonged to the same family, also surnamed Li, and named Shenqian. This person is the head of the contemporary Li family in Renzhou (also known as the Qingyuan Li family) and the father-in-law of Wang Yu. His two daughters are Married to Wang Yu, one of whom was Wang Yu's Queen Shunde.

Speaking of which, the Li family in Renzhou is an extremely wealthy family in Goryeo.

The king of Goryeo after Goryeo Moonjong was either young or immoral, and lost the ability to manipulate the nobles. During this period, some aristocratic families used marriages with the royal family to seize power and control the government of Goryeo. The most famous of these is the benevolence Zhou Li's.

From the period of Emperor Wenzong of Goryeo, the Li family in Inju has been married to the royal family of Goryeo. After more than 20 years of eight generations (the 20 years of Renzong, Wang Yu’s son, are not counted, because there are no [-] years in this book), they have always been in charge of the family as foreign relatives. In terms of government affairs, it can be said that their family is the largest supplier of queens and concubines, and the women of his family have also given birth to several Korean kings.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the Li family in Renzhou hasn't declined in the past few decades.

During the succession period of King Sujong of Goryeo, the Li family in Renzhou failed because of their participation in the dispute for establishing the crown prince. At that time, Li Ziyi, the contemporary head of the Li family in Renzhou, was killed. He was exiled to the south, which is the famous Li Ziyi Rebellion in the history of Goryeo.

After Goryeo Sujong came to the throne, he drove the owner of Yuanxin and the mother and son of Hanshanhou Wang Yun from the Inju Li family who were married to the former king Goryeo Xianzong to Qingyuan County. Clan daughter.

But after the death of Emperor Suzong of Goryeo, Wang Yu succeeded to the throne and married Li Ziqian's daughter as his concubine. Greatly promoted, he became the prime minister, and the power poured into the government and the public.

In fact, the question Wang Yu just asked should be led by the head of the heavy house (the Sixth Guards and the Second Army each have a general and a general, a total of 16 people, the joint deliberation body is the heavy house, and the heavy house meeting is the general of the Yingyang Army) He is the speaker, so he is called the class leader.) to answer, but the class leader of Chongfang did not stand up, but Li Ziqian stood up, which shows that Chongfang at least the navy around Kaijing was controlled by Li Ziqian.

Let me ask, how could Wang Yu not frown in this situation?
But then again, Wang Yu dared to frown. Li Ziqian's power was so great that even Wang Yu, the king of Korea, had to be hypocritical.

Li Ziqian said: "I guess this group of people is most likely Japanese."

(In the fifth century AD, after the unification of Japan, the country was named Yamato. At the beginning of the seventh century, Prince Shotoku of Japan wrote in his letter of credence to Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty: "The prince at the sunrise is the prince at the sunset." This is the name of the country of Japan. The embryonic form. Until the second half of the seventh century, Japan sent Tang Shi to change its country name to Japan and became the official country name of Japan. It is recorded in "New Book of Tang, Japan Biography": In the first year of Xianheng (670), Japan sent envoys to Tang , At this time, the country of Wa has "learned a little Xia dialect, hated the Japanese name, and changed its name to Japan". Therefore, at this time, it is time to use "Japan" to refer to Japan.)
Li Ziqian's guess was supported by most people, and Zheng Keyong, a scholar of Baowenge, said with certainty: "It must be the Kou people. Tamna County is between Korea and Japan. It's not the Japanese who are greedy. who?"

Han Anren said: "Is it possible that they are Song people? After all, Song people are not far from Tamna County, and the Song people have a well-developed navy, which is beyond the reach of Korea. It is not impossible to use boat immigrants to occupy Tamna County."

Facing the pressing forces of the powerful clan headed by Li Ziqian, Wang Yu was not completely unresisting. Over the years, Wang Yu promoted a group of new bureaucrats such as Han Anren from the local government.

This group of Wang Yu's side forces and Li Ziqian's powerful forces can be said to be against each other everywhere.

Seeing Han Anren jumping out, Li Ziqian said calmly: "Song Shang Wang told me a few days ago that Lord Song was inspired by the Taoist sect to practice the rule of inaction, so how could he invade Tamluo County? If Mr. Han doesn't believe my words, You can ask Jin Sheren, he can prove it."

Jin Fushi, who was named by Li Ziqian and who had just been sent to the Song Dynasty not long ago, could only come out and say: "Yes, when I went to Bianliang, Tokyo, everyone in Kaifeng Mansion believed in Taoism and worshiped Taoist gods. For the sake of Taoism, the monk Liufa became a Taoist priest, and the Daofu Academy also canonized Song Zhu as the leader of the Taoist Emperor."

Hearing Jin Fushi talk about these interesting things, some knowledgeable Korean ministers couldn't help laughing, laughing at Zhao Ji's stupidity and absurdity.

Li Ziqian said again: "Besides, the state of Song was drought last year, and there were no crops in many places, and there was no time for self-care. How could it be possible to have the energy to seize my Tamna County in Goryeo?"

What Li Ziqian said was well-founded, Han Anren couldn't refute it for a while.

Seeing that Han Anren was no match for Li Ziqian, Wang Yu said, "Okay, it doesn't matter who it is, what matters is how we deal with it?"

Li Ziqian said: "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch, of course we should destroy them!"

Although he disagreed with Li Ziqian's political views, Han Anren, who was always thinking about Wang Yu, also said: "It must be wiped out, otherwise the Japanese will gain a firm foothold in Tamna County, which is equivalent to setting up a block between Japan and Korea. Springboard, Jeolla-do, which can threaten me at any time.”

Wang Yu asked: "Then who will lead the troops to exterminate these bandits? How many troops will they lead?"

Li Ziqian said: "When Mount Tai is crushing it with one blow, I will recommend the Privy Council..."

Han Anren hurriedly said: "The minister recommends Wu Yan, a veteran general of Korea, to be the commander-in-chief. As for the soldiers, the more the better, the better according to the grand master's intention."

Li Ziqian looked at Han Anren and said: "How can the sinner take on such a heavy responsibility, and he is nearly sixty years old, how can he ride a horse and hold a knife again?"

Han Anren did not back down and said: "That battle was not his fault, he was just eager to rescue, so the enemy general took advantage of the loophole... Grand Master, this is a national war, it is related to the national system and interests of Korea, you ask yourself Not to mention that the old general once assisted Marshal Yin in drawing the boundaries and building nine cities, but besides the old general, who else in Korea has commanded tens of thousands of troops, is your younger brother qualified for this important task?"
