Chapter 625 0622 [Chicken Ribs Among Chicken Ribs]

Wang Qi is very busy.

He had to hold a grand funeral for Wang Kai, appease the people of Kaijing, and deal with the mess left by Li Ziqian and Tuo Junjing.

Just as Wang Que said, although these two people died, their confidants were spread all over the country, especially the 130,000 troops guarding the Great Wall in the northern border. If they were not handled properly, the consequences would be disastrous.

From ancient times to the present, the destructive power of warriors is incomparable to that of civil officials.

After the initial excitement and ecstasy, Wang Qi became so busy that he didn't even have time to bring his wife and children to the palace.

But even so, he still took time out of his busy schedule to host a banquet for Li Nanjia in the palace.

He was not stupid and knew how he came to the throne.

Moreover, he had no foundation and no confidants. If he did not want to become a puppet monarch like his cousin, he had to hold on to the big, thick leg of the Celestial Empire.

At the banquet, Wang Qi was very humble and took the initiative to toast from time to time.

The banquet was in full swing, and he said with a slightly embarrassed tone: "Princess Moling, I have an unwelcome request."

Li Nanjia said, "King Bohai, please feel free to speak."

The enthronement of King Bohai was not only for Wang Kai, but also for the king of Goryeo.

No matter who is the king of Goryeo, as long as he still regards Qi as his overlord, he will inherit the title of King of Bohai.

Wang Qi said sincerely, "Minister Ma was seriously injured while saving my brother, and the doctor told him to rest. I want to ask the angel to stay for a while until Minister Ma is fully recovered, and then it won't be too late to return home."

Seven days had passed since he ascended the throne, and Ma Kuo was already able to walk.

At this rate, I will be returning home in a few days.

If it were another vassal monarch, he would have wished the angel to leave earlier, but Wang Qi was the opposite. He hoped that the angel would stay as long as possible.

It would be best to wait until he had firmly established his throne and reorganized the army and the court.

But he knew in his heart that this was impossible, because it was simply unrealistic to complete all these things in at least two or three years, so he could only delay it as much as possible.

Li Nanjia pondered and said, "The King of Bohai has good intentions. This commander-in-chief has thanked Minister Ma on behalf of Minister Ma. Minister Ma will stay in Kaifeng to recuperate, but this commander-in-chief has another imperial order."

Wang Qi was stunned and blurted out, "Has His Majesty sent an order?"

As soon as he said this, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. Although Goryeo and Shandong were separated by a sea, it would take at least twenty days to go back and forth, not to mention the journey from Jiaozhou Port to Bianjing.

Li Nanjia did not make fun of him, but said seriously, "Last year, Your Majesty planned to retake Tamra Island."

"Temra Island?"

Wang Qi was stunned again.

Tamra is adjacent to Goryeo, has a sparse population and barren land. The people on the island are all uncivilized barbarians, a waste of resources.

Let’s put it this way. Wang Dynasty of Goryeo unified the Korean Peninsula for more than two hundred years, but in these two hundred years, it has never thought of taking over the neighboring Tamra Kingdom. It is conceivable how barren this place is.

Just a few years ago, when Wang Kai first ascended the throne, in order to consolidate his own royal power, he proposed to attack the Kingdom of Tamra.

Wang Qi really couldn't understand why the wealthy Celestial Empire wanted a place that even Goryeo didn't bother to take.

"good."

Li Nanjia nodded without saying much.

It is still too early to attack Japan. It will not be too late once preparations are complete.

Although he had many doubts in his mind, Wang Qi was very happy. Tamra was adjacent to Goryeo. After the Shangguo navy had captured Tamra, they would not leave it alone and would definitely station troops there. He could then take advantage of the situation.

Thinking of this, he said with a little guilt: "It's a pity that the little king has just ascended the throne, and the country is still unstable, so I can't help much."

"There will be opportunities later."

Li Nanjia smiled mysteriously.

When the banquet was over, the moon was already at its highest point in the sky. After bidding farewell to Wang Qi, Li Nanjia left the palace and headed straight for the inn.

In the small courtyard in the southeast, the study was still lit with candles.

Li Nanjia stood in front of the door and knocked on it.

"Enter."

Ma Kuo's voice sounded.

Li Nanjia then pushed the door open and walked in, sitting down directly opposite the desk. She picked up the teacup and brewed herself a cup of hot tea.

Ma Kuo's complexion looked better, but still a little sallow.

Blood is the foundation of a human being, and Qi is the mother of blood. The hole in the abdomen has let out the Qi, and the patient has lost too much blood, so it will not heal quickly.

He held a scroll in his hand and asked, "What did Wang Qi say?"

Li Nanjia picked up the teacup, blew on it gently, and replied, "It's nothing more than an indirect attack, trying to make us stay in Goryeo for a long time." "Haha."

Ma Kuo smiled slightly and tightened the cloak on his shoulders: "He is a smart man. He knows that if he wants to keep this position, he must hold on to your majesty's legs. Otherwise, Wang Kai is a lesson for us."

Li Nanjia took a sip of hot tea and said, "At the banquet, I mentioned the attack on Tamra."

"It doesn't matter."

Ma Kuo waved his hands and said thoughtfully: "The navy cannot leave at the moment. Wait a few more days, and when the generals stationed at the Great Wall in the northern border arrive in Beijing, we can attack Tamluo."

Wang Qi still had some means. He used both kindness and force to deal with Li Ziqian and Tuo Junjing's cronies, suppressing some and winning over others.

Especially the generals in the army, who played a trick of promoting people in public but demoting them in private.

Once those generals come to Beijing to receive their titles, it will be difficult for them to go back.

In this way, Wang Qi could easily regain the military power.

Of course, the main reason why it went so smoothly was that those generals were terrified of the heavenly soldiers from the upper kingdom.

With the support of the leader of Da Qi, Wang Qi can be said to be full of confidence.

"it is good."

Li Nanjia nodded in response.

……

……

As March approaches, the ice and snow melt and spring flowers bloom.

Outside the city of Bianjing, people could be seen everywhere going out for an outing.

Da da da!
A team of cavalrymen galloped along the official road. The leading cavalryman had an eagle feather on each side of his helmet and a flag on his back.

Wherever he passed, the people and cattle, horses and vehicles gave way in advance.

This is an express messenger with an express message of 800 miles. If anyone dares to stop him, all nine generations of his family will be killed.

The postman ran all the way, entered the city from Nanxun Gate, and went straight to the imperial palace.

Inside the Chui Gong Hall.

Han Zhen flipped through the letter in his hand and said with disdain, "I am busy with government affairs and have no time to meet him. Take him around the capital for a few days, give him a few glassware, and send him away."

Li Qianshun was not giving up and sent someone to marry again.

This time two were delivered at once.

Western Xia has been making frequent moves recently. On the one hand, it continues to send envoys to negotiate marriage and submission to Qi, and on the other hand, it secretly contacts the chiefs of various tribes in Longyou and Tubo, trying to form alliances and jointly fight against Qi.

However, the effect was not good, because during the annual tribute, Han Zhen had promised the envoys from Tubo and Longyou that the past would be written off.

Even if Qi reoccupies Longyou in the future, they will still be tribal chiefs, no different from now.

So, why follow Xixia into muddy waters?

Wang Zhi, the Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple, responded, "I understand."

As soon as Wang Zhi left, Liu Chang stepped into the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent request from Goryeo."

Hearing that it was an urgent report from Gao Li, Han Zhen ordered, "Present it."

He took the memorial and opened it to read.

Li Nanjia's memorial covered every detail in great detail.

"I really didn't misjudge Ma Qing."

When Han Zhen saw Ma Kuo beheading Li Ziqian in the Goryeo palace, he could not help but admire him.

According to Li Nanjia's description, the entire Goryeo court, including the army, has been completely controlled by Li Ziqian. Ordinary strategies are no longer useful, and only by taking the enemy by surprise can the situation be quickly broken.

It is obvious that Ma Kuo did this with the determination to die.

Fortunately, Li Nanjia arrived in time and rescued him.

As for Wang Kai's death and the election of Wang Qi to the throne, Han Zhen didn't care.

It doesn't matter who is in charge of Bohai Bay, he only needs a loyal and humble Goryeo.

Putting away the memorial, Han Zhen ordered, "Call Zhang Shuye."

Now that Goryeo has been conquered, it is time to put the attack on Japan on the agenda.
