A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 430 The Situation in Northeast China and Goryeo Shameless

A few days later, the chamberlain came to convey the order and took Zhao Yi to the palace to have an audience.

According to the rules of Daqian, talents recommended by officials or nobles must be evaluated by the emperor.In addition to Yang Yi, there are several other recommended talents.

Wang Xin sat in the main seat and looked at the recommended talents. The oldest of these talents had white hair and beard, and the youngest was in his 30s. The total number of talents was only seven or eight.

Seeing these people, Wang Xin was keenly aware that the competition between the noble families and the scholars had fallen behind.

Wang Xin tested these people based on this, and it can only be said that they are indeed talented, but they are still far from being able to govern the country and stabilize the country. At most, they can rule a county.

Don't think you're looking down on them just because you govern a county. The county guard is also an official with a rank as high as two thousand stones.When Yang Yi finally stepped forward, Wang Xin asked, "Sir, do you have any good ideas for governing the country?"

"The way to govern a country depends on the king. If the king makes rewards and punishments clear and the ministers respect him, then the government will be clear and the world will be in good order."

"The Holy King controls the power of rewards and punishments. Firstly, he must strictly enforce the system. Secondly, he must implement the system without chaos, formulate the system, and strictly implement it!"

"The system is easy to establish, but it is difficult to implement it. Is there any way, sir?" Wang Xin asked.

"It's difficult to implement, so let's rectify the administration. I see that your Majesty is doing a good job now. Exiling to the Western Regions will not only enrich the population of the Western Regions, but also deter other people."

Wang Xin was very satisfied after hearing Yang Yi's words. This was exactly the talent he wanted to govern the country.

After Wang Xin supplemented and revised the new law, he was worried that the officials below him would violate the law, so now that Zhao Yi is here, it is just right.

So Wang Xin appointed Zhao Yi as the imperial censor at the court meeting the next day, taking charge of the censor's desk, inspecting the censor, and supervising all officials.

If it weren't for Zhao Yi's lack of qualifications, he would have appointed Zhao Yi as prime minister.

In the autumn of the third year of Yuanfeng, in the land of Liaodong, the Yan State had just defeated the Fuyu people and returned victoriously.

Since the surrender of Korea, the State of Yan has stopped attacking North Korea. During this period, the State of Yan and North Korea were bounded by the Datong River, and the northeastern part of North Korea extended to the northeast, bordering the Fuyu and Sushen people.

In the sacred capital of Luoyang, North Korea and Yan formed an alliance, and then worked together to deal with the Fuyu and Sushen people.After Jizi North Korea surrendered, he wrote a letter asking the Yan State to return the area north of Datong Jiangxi and east of the Yalu River to North Korea.

Of course Wang Xin disagreed.

Jizi North Korea said this was their territory, but in fact it was just a map opening.There are indeed some tribes here that have good relations and alliances with Jizi Korea, but in fact they are not even Jisizhou.

Jizi Korea's current sphere of influence is south of the Datong River, and even the peninsula has not yet been unified.

After the Yan State defeated the tribes in the area east of the Yalu River, this area has become the land of the Yan State.The reason why Jizi North Korea came to pay tribute was because of the pressure from Yan State.

There are now millions of people in the Yan Kingdom and the area is thousands of miles away. However, because of the cold climate, most of them are concentrated on the Liaodong Peninsula and the Liaohe Plain.

As for the Yalu River Basin, it belongs to Jisi Prefecture, where the people of Yan, Fuyu, and Sushen all have influence.

The Buyeo people are actually the ancestors of Goguryeo.

In real history, Goguryeo was founded at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, then rapidly grew and rose during the Five Husties in the Central Plains, and was finally destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.

The current Fuyu people are still growing in strength, but the climate in Liaodong is cold and the Yan State is unable to move north.

After the Yan State and the Koreans formed an alliance and agreed to attack the Fuyu and Sushen people, the North Koreans argued that their land was barren and their food and grass were insufficient, so they were unable to send out a large army. If they wanted to send troops, they needed Yan State to provide them with food and grass first.

When the State of Yan found out, he was furious and immediately drove out the Korean envoys.If it weren't for the alliance, and if they were worried about the Koreans and Fuyu people joining forces, Yan would have sent troops to educate them and let them know who their father was.

Jizi North Korea was naturally unwilling to send troops after not getting any benefits.The area east of the Yalu River was not obtained either.So Jizi Chao felt very aggrieved. I had already declared myself a vassal and paid tribute. Shouldn't the east of the Yalu River be rewarded to me?

They didn't dare to use force. After all, some of their forces in the Yalu River Basin were destroyed by the Yan State, but they secretly began to support the Fuyu people with money and food.

The Fuyu people are a people who part-farm, part-pastoral, and also fish and hunt. Because of the bitter cold in the north, they have to do this if they want to survive.Farming, raising cattle and sheep, fishing and hunting.All along, these people wanted to go south to warmer climes.Therefore, he had a hard time dealing with Yan State.

The bitter cold land in the north made the Fuyu people very brave, but their weapons and equipment were not even comparable to the Huns.

The bows and arrows are almost all stone arrows and bone arrows, the armor is some leather armor, and there are very few iron weapons, not necessarily one among ten people.Therefore, when fighting with Yan State, they were all beaten.

Jizi Chaoshan did not dare to compete with Yan State, so he secretly began to support these Fuyu people.It's just that North Korea also lacks iron weapons, so the support given to the Buyeo people is naturally even worse.

"Your Majesty, look." A soldier of Yan State handed over a broken iron sword with both hands.

"This is the weapon of the Buyeo people who just died in the battle."

Wang Jian, the eldest son of the Yan Kingdom, picked up the broken sword and inspected it, with an ugly expression on his face.

"This ironware is poorly made. Can the people of Fuyu smelt iron?" "Probably not. I suspect that they are Koreans."

Wang Jian said with an ugly face: "Send an envoy to Korea to investigate the crime! Let him cut off contact with the people of Buyeo."

"Sent people to clean up the battlefield, and the surrendered Buyeo people were brought back to the country to be slaves."

"Let the surrounding tribes surrender five thousand sheep and five hundred horses! Then the army will return home!"

In the past few years, there have been conflicts between the State of Yan and the Sushen people of Fuyu, and the scale of the battle has continued to expand.Just recently, the Fuyu people's army had many iron weapons, which greatly improved the Fuyu people's combat effectiveness. The casualties of Yan soldiers were somewhat high.

Although the Yan State has the support of Dagan, the distance is too long and it is inconvenient to transport food and weapons. In addition, even Dagan does not have all the soldiers wearing armor, so naturally it will not give the Yan State too much iron armor. .

Except for a few elite troops in the Yan Kingdom equipped with iron armor, the vast majority of the rest were equipped with iron-inlaid leather armor and ordinary leather armor.Now the Korean state dared to sell ironware to the Fuyu people, which made the Yan state furious.

King Yan sent an envoy to Jizi North Korea to question him.

Soon the envoy of the State of Yan came to Jizi North Korea, and the leader of North Korea received the envoy of the State of Yan, Meng Pei, at the court meeting.

"The envoy from Yan State pays homage to the King of Korea. The King of Korea is safe and sound."

"I am alone," the North Korean leader said accurately.

"I wonder what the envoy from the State of Yan is doing? North Korea just experienced a flood not long ago, and there were many casualties. I wonder if the State of Yan can lend me some food?"

Meng Pei sneered in his heart. Even though he was able to support the Fuyu people, he was still crying about poverty. He immediately said: "Is there a flood in Korea? Foreign ministers don't know. It's a pity that our country, Yan, is small and narrow and cannot support us."

"The foreign minister came here because he heard that the North Korea sold food and weapons to the Fuyu people. The North Korean country and the Yan country are allies. It would be fine if the monarch does not help the Yan country to deal with the Fuyu people. Why should he help the Fuyu people?"

"Bold!"

"Even if you, the Yan State, are close to each other, you can't slander our country like this!"

"Have we ever sold grain and ironware to the people of Buyeo?" The leader of North Korea said angrily as if he was insulted: "If you don't speak clearly today, don't blame the lonely king for being rude!"

Meng Pei sneered and said: "The Lord of North Korea is so majestic. This envoy just said a few words. Is this the way the Lord of North Korea behaves?"

"Besides, if there is no evidence, why would this envoy come here?" After saying this, he asked someone to throw some letters on the ground.

"All the records of your transactions with the Fuyu people are here!"

The State of Yan originally did not know about these transactions, but the people of Fuyu took the initiative to hand them over.After the Yan State obtained these evidences, they did not believe it at first. However, during the recent war, the Yan State obtained many prisoners of Fuyu people. After several verifications, it turned out to be true.

At this time, the crown prince Wang Jian understood what was going on.

The Korean State wanted to use the Fuyu people to weaken the Yan State, but it was petty and the price was probably too high, which made the Fuyu people unhappy. On the other hand, the Yan State and the Korean State formed an alliance, and the Fuyu people were also under great pressure.

Now that I encountered North Korea selling things, I immediately understood that the alliance between Yan and North Korea was probably for their own purposes.Since North Korea wanted to use them to weaken Yan State, they just took advantage of the situation and sold North Korea. At that time, whether Yan State and North Korea were fighting or making peace, it would be beneficial to them.

It would be better if we fight. When the time comes, the three parties will be involved with each other, and they will be less stressed. If there is no fight, the two countries will definitely appear to be inseparable, and they will not be worse than the current situation of the Buyeo people.

It can be said that no matter what, it will be beneficial to Buyeo people.

Wang Jian knew what Fuyu people were planning, but what if he knew it?Let Yan Guo swallow his anger?impossible!Besides, these games are just games between small countries.

Things in this world have always depended on the ideas of the big powers.Yan Guo can definitely use Daqian's power to teach them a lesson.

The North Korean leader casually looked through the letter, then threw it into the brazier, waving his hand and saying: "It's just some nonsense, how can it be taken seriously? Now that it's burned, does the envoy still have evidence?"

That expression seemed to say, I just burned the evidence, what can you do to me?
"You!" Mengpei was furious: "You are so shameless!"

The leader of North Korea didn't care: "Does the envoy have any evidence?"

Mengpei calmed down and said immediately: "Lord of North Korea, this envoy will convey your words to my king and His Majesty the Emperor Daqian. Don't regret it then!"

After saying that, he casually cupped his hands and turned around to leave.

"Bold!" After hearing Meng Pei's words, the leader of North Korea was furious and directly ordered: "I also want to go to Da Gan to complain. I will exile him to the island and I will starve him to death!"

"I am the envoy of Yan State, how dare you!" Meng Pei was furious.

The surrounding Korean soldiers did not dare to step forward. In the end, the Korean leader was furious and chopped two people directly. Only then did other soldiers step forward and tie up Meng Pei, and exiled them all to the island together with the envoys.
