Chapter 428 Stealing the country of Goryeo! Haidong Confucius VS Su Jingming, the debate between nations
The third day of May.
The eighth day of the ten-day period.
On the blue sea between Goryeo and Dengzhou Port, five Goryeo ships were speeding toward Dengzhou Port.
among them.
Two ships were loaded with Korean soldiers wearing armor and carrying weapons.
Two ships carried people from the Song Dynasty, but the people from the Song Dynasty were locked in the cabin and could not go out to show their faces.
The first ship was a three-masted ship with a pointed bottom flying the flag "李".
present.
There were 729 people from the Song Dynasty who were trafficked to Goryeo.
Cui Chong once served as an admonishment official, similar to the Taiwan admonishment officer in the Song Dynasty. His reasoning skills were unparalleled, and he was also a literary leader in Goryeo.
If this matter ends successfully.
His status in the hearts of Goryeo literati is equivalent to the combined status of Sun Fu, Hu Yuan, and Ouyang Xiu in the hearts of Song Dynasty literati.
He was not good at arguing, so he thought of Cui Chong, who had become an official.
Goryeo Prime Minister Li Ziyuan knew very well that if he fully complied with Su Liang's request, returned the Song Dynasty before the deadline, apologized, and then implored the other party to abolish the "Three Policies of Dengzhou Port".
Cui Chong founded a private school in Goryeo and spread Confucian culture. His disciples and disciples were all over Goryeo, and his articles were regarded as a model by Goryeo literati.
now.
in short.
In any country, human traffickers must be suppressed.
present.
One is Li Ziyuan, the Prime Minister of Goryeo, the other is Cui Shangan, a doctor in the household department, and the other is an old man wearing a white shirt with white beard and white hair.
"However, the people of the Song Dynasty not only insulted us, but also used maritime trade to threaten us. Everything they did was contrary to the sages. You must give Su Liang a good scolding and let him know that our country, Korea, cannot be bullied!"
……
The old man looked up to the west with a confident look on his face.
His surname is Cui Mingchong, and his courtesy name is Haoran. He is already in his late seventies. He once served as Prime Minister of Goryeo and just became an official last year.
After some understanding, Cui Chong believed that Su Liang practiced the policy of "Three Bans on Dengzhou and Port" and forced Goryeo to make diplomatic relations with the Song Dynasty. do.
Not only will his personal reputation be damaged, but the dignity of the country will be lost, and he may also offend the Liao Kingdom.
The old man stood at the front among the three people, obviously having the highest status.
After Li Ziyuan's entreaty, Cui Chong decided to go out and teach Su Liang a lesson.
Li Ziyuan took the lead and said: "Mr. Cui, this time we have recovered all the sold Song people in accordance with the requirements of the Song State. This can be said to be the most benevolent and righteous."
All the Korean traffickers who killed these thirty people were also caught and were on the boat.
May 5th, the last day of the ten-day period.
In the afternoon, the sun is scorching.
"Mr. Cui, this matter is related to the state of the country. Whether to bow to the Song Dynasty or to demonstrate the country's prestige depends on you!"
This matter is not only about the return of the trafficked Song people, but also involves the confidence, status and courage of the Song Dynasty merchants.
I hope he can stand up and at least save Gao Li's face.
Either due to accidental death, or due to being beaten and scolded to death.
at this time.
The human traffickers in Goryeo not only sold people from Song Dynasty, but also people from Goryeo. Goryeo was rich in beauties, and many Goryeo women were sold to the Liao Kingdom.
Cui Shangan on the side also bowed and bowed his hands, showing great respect.
Many people heard that Goryeo would return the sold Song people today, and the Prime Minister of Goryeo would also apologize, so they all came to watch.
The old man stroked his white beard and said: "Don't worry, you two, we kindly help the Song Dynasty to find the person, but the Song Dynasty violated etiquette, persecuted my Korean merchants for no reason, and made rude remarks. I will definitely seek justice and let the world see it." , Who is right and who is wrong in this matter? Even if the Emperor of the Song Dynasty cannot be forced to admit his mistake, Su Liang, a self-righteous clown, must bow his head and admit his mistake!
There were three people standing on the deck of the lead ship.
If the sun has not set tomorrow, the contract will be automatically renewed for two months, and so on.
He decided to teach Su Liang a lesson.
Under the arrangements of Goryeo Prime Minister Li Ziyuan and Household Doctor Cui Shangan, 699 people have been found, 30 of whom died in Goryeo.
If the Prime Minister of Goryeo has not arrived and the trafficked Song people have not returned when the sun sets, the "Three Bans on Dengzhou Port" will be extended for one month.
The dock at Dengzhou Port was very lively.
He is honored as "Haedong Confucius" by the Korean people.
Very sublime.
They would return the Song people as requested by the Song Dynasty, but they had to reprimand Su Liang to save their face and demonstrate the prestige of Goryeo.
If the merchants of the Song Dynasty were bullied or imprisoned by other countries when they went out to do business in the future, they firmly believed that the Song Dynasty court would definitely help or rescue them.
at the same time.
Many foreign ships, including Liao, Japanese, and Korean ships, were also floating in the offshore waters.
They also wanted to see how the Goryeo court would handle the matter.
This is also related to their future attitude towards the merchants of the Song Dynasty.
An hour later.
Su Liang, Dengzhou Zhizhou Liu Yu, Dengzhou City Shipping Department Chief Officer, and Tiju City Shipping Department Xia Feng came to the watchtower.
Liu Yu was excited and looked towards the sea to the east.
"Jing Ming, even if they can come today, will they deliberately delay it for a day to give us a disincentive?"
Su Liang smiled and shook his head.
"No! The Goryeo court has always been stingy and will never let go of this commercial tax revenue."
"Did the Koreans fail to find all the people who were trafficked?" Xia Feng said worriedly.
"There is definitely enough time. If they don't find them all, they are either careless or want to start a war with us. If they really can't find them all, I don't mind destroying Goryeo first!"
Xia Feng was very excited when he heard this.
If Su Liang really puts forward this suggestion, according to his current voice in the court, the court may indeed send troops to destroy Goryeo.
immediately.
The three of them sat on the watchtower, enjoying the sea breeze, drinking tea, and waiting for the Korean ship to arrive.
……
It's almost dusk.
Du Lei, who was looking far away from the watchtower, suddenly shouted: "The Korean ship is coming! The Korean ship is coming!"
Su Liang, Liu Yu, and Xia Feng immediately stood up and came to the observation deck in front of the watchtower. They looked up and saw several Goryeo ships approaching at a fast speed.
Soon.
The people on the dock also saw the Korean ship, and they couldn't help but become excited.
Su Liang looked at Liu Yu and Xia Feng, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Zhizhou, immediately arrange for manpower to pick up the returning people. Xia Tiju ordered the navy of Daoyu Village to be on standby at any time. If the Koreans do anything untoward, we will directly kill them." They intercepted it."
aside.
Sun Sheng and Du Lei have also prepared their guards. In the event of a conflict, their first priority is to protect Su Liang's safety, and the second is to capture the opponent's leader alive.
About half an hour later.
Goryeo's five large ships stayed about a kilometer away from the dock.
Other nearby ships quickly retreated into the distance.
Followed by.
A small boat arrived at the dock, and a Korean soldier shouted loudly: "The Prime Minister of our country has arrived. Of the remaining 729 people from your country who were trafficked to our territory, 699 have been found, 30 of whom are dead. The traffickers or If the murderer is caught on the ship, he can be handed over to your country for disposal. However, before handing over, please ask your country's Su Si Jian and Liu Zhizhou to come forward. "
Su Liang smiled lightly, with a touch of contempt on his face.
The Goryeo Kingdom did not even dare to go ashore, which shows that their demeanor and abilities were average.
"Prepare the ship!"
Su Liang immediately went down to the watchtower with Liu Yu and Xia Feng. They were not afraid at all in the offshore areas of the Song Dynasty.
If Goryeo really dared to do something despicable, they would be greeted by a devastating blow to the Song Dynasty.
A quarter of an hour later.
Su Liang, Liu Yu, and Xia Feng sailed forward in a boat similar in size to the opponent's lead boat.
On the boat, there were all Su Liang's guards, including not only crossbows, wind-fire spears, but also wind-fire thunder.
When the distance between the two sides was still a hundred meters, Liu Yu had already clearly seen the three people standing at the front of the deck.
"what?"
Liu Yu said to Su Liang: "Jingming, the one on the deck wearing purple robe is the Prime Minister of Goryeo, Li Ziyuan, the one in blue is Cui Shangan, the doctor of the Ministry of Finance, and the old man with white beard in the middle is the former Prime Minister of Goryeo. Cui Chong, Cui Haoran, who is known as Haidong Confucius. Cui Chong has become an official. He is here to reason with you. This man is good at eloquence, so don't follow his lead!"
"Haidong Confucius Cui Chong? I've heard of it. Don't worry, I, Su Liang, have never embarrassed the Song Dynasty!" Su Liang said with a smile.
This dialogue between the two parties represents the two countries of Song and Goryeo.
The contents of each other's conversations will definitely spread and become the focus of discussion among the people.
Anyone who falls behind or is exploited will bring disgrace to the country.
soon.
The bows of the two ships were close to each other, and they stopped when they were less than five meters away.
Cui Shangan strode out first and looked directly at Su Liang.
"This is Su Liang, Su Jingming, the famous beheaded censor of the Song Dynasty! Su Si Jian, I am Cui Shang'an, a doctor in the household department. I am an official of the fifth rank. You refused to see me that day. Although I didn't understand, I still sent me Invited to Prime Minister Li!"
Cui Shangan emphasized the words "si Jian" and "official residence of the fifth rank" very seriously, obviously mocking Su Liang for being only a seventh-rank official.
"Not only is the Prime Minister of our country here, he also invited Mr. Cui, the great scholar of our court, Haidong Confucius. I wonder if he is qualified to talk to Su Sijian?" Cui Shangan said and stood to one side.
Cui Chong took a step forward at this time, raised his chest and looked at Su Liang and the others.
He was waiting for Su Liang and the others to salute him.
In Korea.
Not to mention the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, even the King of Goryeo would salute him and call him "Mr. Cui" to show respect for knowledge.
But Su Liang didn't react at all.
Su Liang didn't react at all, and Liu Yu and Xia Feng naturally didn't make any move either.
Seeing the disdain on Su Liang's face, Cui Chong couldn't help but raised his beard and glared: "Boy Su Liang, you are just like the rumors. You have always been disrespectful of etiquette. According to my seniority, even if you are facing Sun Fu, Ouyang Xiu, etc. When people see me, they have to bow their hands to each other. The Song Dynasty is known as a country of etiquette. Don’t you understand this little etiquette? "
Su Liang smiled faintly and asked: "Haidong Confucius, who recognized it?"
These words immediately choked Cui Chong.
Scholars of the Song Dynasty naturally did not recognize this title.
Cui Chong only dared to act like a senior when he saw that Sun Fu and Ouyang Xiu were not here.
Although he was older than Sun Fu and Ouyang Xiu, when it came to knowledge, Sun Fu and Ouyang Xiu were definitely not convinced by him.
Sun Fu was here. Perhaps seeing his old age and knowing his status in Goryeo, Sun Fu would give him a hand.
If Ouyang Xiuruo were here, he would probably have started to curse.
Haidong Confucius?
No one in the world dares to call him Confucius, but he, a Korean who is ignorant of others, dares to call himself Confucius. Isn't that a scolding?
If Wang Anshi knew that he claimed to be a saint, but saw that his strength was average, he would even beat him.
In Wang Anshi's heart, there is only one person in the world who can be called a saint, and that is Su Liang.
Su Liang didn't wait for his reply, he took two steps forward, and then said: "I asked the Prime Minister of your country to come here because I am on this foreign tour and represent our court officials. Seeing that I am like this When you meet the officials of the Song Dynasty, I haven't blamed you for your lack of etiquette, but you have started to accuse me. The Emperor of Liao didn't dare to do so in front of me, who gave you the courage!"
Su Liang struck back and regained his momentum in an instant.
Liu Yu and Xia Feng couldn't help but straighten their bodies. This feeling was so comfortable.
Cui Chong coughed dryly.
"Su Liang, Su Sijian, I won't argue with you for words. I'll just ask you a few questions. You answer them truthfully. After you answer them, we will release all the people from Song Dynasty. What do you think?"
"But it doesn't hurt to ask." Su Liang made a gesture of invitation.
"You are selling people to Goryeo through unscrupulous businessmen. This matter is not the fault of our Goryeo court. The leader of our country specially sent Cui Langzhong to find people for your country. This act is actually helping your country. However, you have implemented Dengzhou because of the slow progress. The policy of "three bans on Hong Kong" is an unreasonable insult to our merchants, and they are even forced to do so within a ten-day period. This is unkind, unjust, disrespectful and immoral. "
"Threatening and pressuring those who help is really a villain's behavior. Can Su Sijian give me a reasonable explanation?"
After hearing this, Su Liang shook his head and sighed: "Alas! Haidong Confucius is really in vain!"
"Mr. Cui, three-year-old children still know not to bully old women and children. If a young woman from Goryeo is trafficked to Song Dynasty, as long as my court knows about it, within seven days, she will be rescued and the trafficker will be severely punished. This is the nature of a gentleman and the morality of being a human being.”
"Today, more than 700 young women in our Song Dynasty have fallen into the mouths of Goryeo beasts. One day later, several people may be humiliated or even die. What you think about first is not your nature and morality, but to help our Song Dynasty. If your daughter is trafficked, should I also consider whether to help Gao Li? "
"Your idea has already failed. Even if it is help, I have informed you that it has been a month, but only thirteen people have been rescued. Such efficiency is not malicious delay, what else can it be? For my sake More than 700 young women, don’t say that I have implemented the policy of banning Dengzhou Port. Even if the army sends troops to Korea and destroys you, no one in the world will dare to blame you? "
"For the lives of the people of our country, our government will never do anything too excessive! The lives of the people are greater than the sky! If the court cannot even protect its own people, then what kind of court is it?"
……
Behind Su Liang, Liu Yu and Xia Feng were excited.
They finally realized why the court ministers said that "Su Jingming alone is worth a hundred thousand elite soldiers."
Such eloquence, such demeanor, such attitude towards the country and the people are admired by everyone.
The navy soldiers on the ship not far away had red eyes, almost in tears.
Su Liang's words made them feel that the court valued every citizen.
This kind of attention makes them full of strength.
Cui Chong's lips trembled with anger.
He slowed down and raised his voice: "Su Liang, don't pretend to be righteous."
"I would like to ask you, if we return the Song people as promised, how should our merchants who suffered losses while doing business in Dengzhou Port compensate them? They did not violate any laws, but the three bans on Dengzhou Port caused them huge losses. Is this what you said? It’s my fault, should you apologize and compensate?”
"Humph!"
Su Liang smiled coldly and said: "It's time to apologize and compensate! But it's your Goryeo court who should apologize and the Goryeo court should compensate!"
"You're talking nonsense! This was entirely caused by you!" Cui Shangan glared at the side.
There was a clerk recording at the back that he had to say some strong words.
Otherwise, after returning to the court, the King of Korea will not punish their "Confucian mascot" and his father-in-law, and Cui Shangan will only be the one who takes the blame.
Su Liang looked across with disdain.
"Master Cui, Xiangguo Li, you should be the most aware of the reputation of Goryeo abroad."
"He is actually an ant, but he pretends to be a swan and preaches to the people in China that Jingdong East Road was once the hometown of Goryeo. Tai Chi, Bagua, and text embroidery were all created by Goryeo. He stole the culture of Han and Tang dynasties from us and claimed to be left by his ancestors. , your ancestors only knew Chinese characters for a few years, and with such education, Korean merchants continued to steal our Song Dynasty books, inventions, and techniques..."
"If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, even the Japanese who stole the culture of the Han and Tang Dynasties think you are the real thieves. The three bans on Dengzhou and Hong Kong are just a slight punishment for the merchants of your court. If your court is unethical, retribution will naturally follow. Count it on your people, if you want your merchants to be respected outside, you must first let your court know how to do things! "
……
Su Liang was so angry that he could hardly lift his head when he scolded him.
"Cough cough...cough cough...cough cough..."
Cui Chong's face turned red with anger and he couldn't help coughing.
Li Ziyuan, the Prime Minister of Korea, looked at Su Liang and glared: "Su Liang, it's not your turn to tell me how to do things in our country! I want to ask you, after we return the Song people, can you immediately abolish Dengzhou Port?" Three bans?”
Su Liang shook his head.
"As promised, the ban will be lifted after three months!"
"You...you...are bullying others too much!" Li Ziyuan pointed at Su Liang and said.
Su Liang smiled slightly and ignored it.
At this time, Cui Chong, who had recovered his strength, walked to the front of the deck and looked at Su Liang.
"Su Liang, I, Goryeo, belong to the vassal state of Liao. Not to mention you, your emperor is not qualified to dictate the management of our dynasty."
"I'm warning you again. If you don't immediately abolish the three bans on Dengzhou Port after we surrender, we will unite with the Liao Kingdom, Japan, and even Xixia to jointly condemn you."
"This move is not something a great country would do. Doing this will only bring disrepute to your dynasty. If I write an article, the literati in the world who follow Confucianism will definitely scorn you. You will become the sinner of your dynasty. Confucianism Abandoned disciple!"
Hearing this, Su Liang suddenly laughed.
These words may be useful to ordinary scholars, but Su Liang doesn't care at all.
"You old bookworm, you must have been at home for too long and have no knowledge of the world. Even if you can persuade the Liao Kingdom, Japan, and Xixia to attack the Song Dynasty together, what will happen? The Song Dynasty is not afraid at all!"
"You can go to Liao and Xixia. Do you think they dare to start a war?"
Su Liang suddenly amplified his voice.
"Also, do you really think that you are a contemporary Confucius, writing an article and people all over the world will gather to respond?"
"If you, a rotten scholar like you, meet Confucius after your death, he will not recognize you as his disciple. After studying all your life, you have really read it like a dog. If you continue to argue unreasonably, you are really bringing shame on yourself." !”
"Pfft!"
As soon as Su Liang finished speaking, Cui Chong spat out a mouthful of blood and then fainted on the ground.
In seventy years of life, he has never been scolded like this.
"Quickly...quickly...quickly...carry Mr. Cui into the cabin for treatment!" Li Ziyuan said quickly, if Cui Chong died here, he would be guilty of a great crime.
And this moment.
Liu Yu and Xia Feng both looked at Su Liang with admiration and were dumbfounded.
Sun Sheng, Du Lei and the guards behind them all raised their heads high. Being able to protect Su Liang, they felt it was a lifetime honor.
Today's scene is enough for them to brag and chat when they are old, and to be admired by others.
immediately.
Su Liang looked at Li Ziyuan again and said, "Li Guoxiang, do you still have questions to ask? I will tell you the truth!"
Li Ziyuan shook his head.
He has never seen the power of a person's words be so terrifying.
At this moment, he only felt that Su Liang was a devil.
Cui Shangan lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Liang at all. He was glad that he refused to see Su Liang at that time, otherwise he would be the only one who was humiliated.
"Are you planning to release him today?" Su Liang asked again.
"Let them go! Let them go! Let them go!" Li Ziyuan turned his face and shouted: "Let them go! Let them all go!"
Li Ziyuan no longer cares about the punishment he will receive after returning to China. He just wants to leave here quickly. He never wants to see Su Liang again in this life.
……
On the sea.
The fiery red sunset gradually went down, the sky gradually darkened, and the lights on the boat gradually lit up.
The young women who were trafficked to Goryeo were successively taken to the Song Dynasty's own ship.
Some people burst into tears, some knelt on the ground and kowtowed, some cried and shouted to see their husbands and sons, some kept thanking the officials...
Liu Yu and Xia Feng arranged it very carefully.
A doctor was found for them, clothing was arranged, meals were prepared, and a place to rest was found for them on the shore.
Early tomorrow morning, those who have recovered their strength will be sent home one after another.
After Li Ziyuan completed the handover, he turned the ship's bow directly and ran towards Korea overnight.
Today's events were also recorded by Liu Yu's scribes.
Tomorrow this matter will spread throughout the streets and alleys of Penglai City, and then spread to Bianjing, and even to various state capitals.
Let all the people of the Song Dynasty remember Su Liang’s powerful words: The fate of the people is greater than the sky!
