Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 447: Be attentive when you have nothing to do, and ask for help when you have something to do.

Faced with Zhao Mu's words of kindness and power, Wang Shizi still smiled flatteringly: "What His Highness King Qi said is true. It's just that when His Highness arrives in this country, this country should show the friendship of the landlord. Otherwise, it will look like I, Gao Li, The country is a bit rude."

President Park was now frightened. He knew that Zhao Mu had an extraordinary background and should be some high-ranking official in the Song Dynasty government, but he did not expect that he was also a prince.

Zhao Mu saw that the prince wanted to take the opportunity to make friends with him. Find opportunities to flatter.

Then Zhao Mu said: "Okay! We originally traveled in a low-key manner and did not want to disturb your country. Since His Royal Highness the Prince's kindness is difficult to refuse, I will be disrespectful to refuse."

Hearing that Zhao Mu agreed, Prince Wang was overjoyed and said quickly: "It is our honor for His Highness King Qi to come to our country. Please don't be dissatisfied with His Highness King Qi. The palace of our Kingdom of Goryeo is simple. Please sit in the city." "

The common people on the streets of Goryeo started talking one after another when their prince, the prince, was so polite to the person in front of him.

Zhao Mu looked at the way these people were whispering to each other, and then said to Prince Wang: "I am keeping a low profile on this trip and don't want too many people to know about it. I hope His Highness can handle this matter."

Prince Wang understood it, then called his personal attendant and said something in his ear. After receiving the order, the personal attendant left immediately.

Prince Wang said to Zhao Mu: "Please rest assured, His Highness King Qi. Please, Your Highness King Qi!"

But now that he's here, he always wants to give a few words of praise to those who are worthy of honor.

Murong Fu said at this time: "But I believe that the day when the Kingdom of Koryo will be re-canonized will not be too far away."

Then Prince Wang led them into the palace.

Zhao Mu looked at the Goryeo Palace in front of him and couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Mu nodded to him with satisfaction, and then under his guidance, everyone headed to the palace of Goryeo.

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Haha, this is natural. The Kingdom of Koryo was originally a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and their titles were previously canonized by the emperors of the Central Plains. If they built a big country, they would have exceeded the limit. It is right The emperor of the Central Plains was disrespectful. If we put it in the former Tang Dynasty, the status of the King of Goryeo would be about the same as that of the successor king of the Song Dynasty. It is just that the Liao people occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun and shamelessly claimed to be orthodox. Let the Goryeo Kingdom lose contact with the Central Plains Dynasty, otherwise the King of Goryeo will still have to be canonized by the Song Dynasty. "

The palace of the Goryeo Kingdom was said to be a royal palace, but from Zhao Mu's perspective, it was far different from the palaces of the Xixia Kingdom and the Song Dynasty. Regardless of the height of the city wall or its scale, Zhao Mu could only describe them as being small-minded.

Ju Jian followed Zhao Mu and muttered: "Young Master, the palace of Korea is nothing more than this. I feel it is not as big as our Lingjiu Palace."

After a while, everyone arrived at the Goryeo Palace.

Zhao Mu looked at the hopeless Murong Fu and said, "That's true. After we take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and Liaodong, Korea will once again claim vassalage and pay tribute to our Song Dynasty."

Ju Jian nodded silently upon hearing this.

Although the Goryeo Palace is not large in scale, it is modeled after the Chengtian Gate of the Tang Dynasty. Although it is a scaled down version, it is at least somewhat interesting.

President Park also let out a sigh of relief and felt sorry for the compatriots who saw this scene today.

Murong Fu asked at this time: "By the way, Your Majesty, does Your Majesty agree to the invitation of the Goryeo prince so that the Goryeo Kingdom can also get a share of the pie?"

Zhao Mu nodded and said: "Yes, if Korea is willing to lend us a road, then we can send warships to directly transport soldiers and horses to land in Korea. When the time comes, we can share a piece of his pie."

Although Murong Fu lamented that the Haixi and Liaobei lands that Zhao Mu promised to him might be divided into Korea. But for now, as long as we can help him regain his country, all conditions are negotiable. At most, the territory controlled by the Yan Kingdom is smaller. But Murong Fu thought too much this time, and Zhao Mu was lying this time.

It was true that he wanted to use Korea as an excuse, but he never thought about giving Korea a share of the pie. On the contrary, Zhao Mu has coveted the Korean Peninsula for a long time, and both Korea and Japan will be his territory in the Song Dynasty in the future. Moreover, he had seen many good-looking Korean women on the street just now.

As for Haixi and Liaobei, which are bitterly cold places, just take them if Murong Fu likes them. Although there is black soil there, there is coal and oil. But these resources can be said to be meaningless to people in this era.

The parallel world he is currently in is during the Zhezong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, five or six hundred years before the Industrial Revolution. Zhao Muke couldn't guarantee that he could live five or six hundred years, let alone that Guo Zuo of the Song Dynasty could live five or six hundred years. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. All he can do now is take care of the things of his own era.

However, Zhao Mu would never tolerate these three eyesores from Goryeo, Jurchen, and Japan. Especially Japan.

Soon everyone was taken to the reception hall in the Goryeo Palace to wait.

Wang Yuyan and others were quite curious about this palace.

Although this place is nothing in Zhao Mu's eyes, it is still a royal palace after all. Compared to Yanziwu, Mantuo Villa is still much more impressive.

After a while, the King of Korea and the Crown Prince came to the living room together.

After the King of Goryeo saw Zhao Mu, he immediately bowed and saluted and said, "King of Goryeo, I have met the envoy of the Celestial Dynasty!"

Although the King of Goryeo's Chinese was not very standard, Zhao Mu could still barely understand him.

Then Zhao Mu stood up and said: "Lord of the Kingdom of Goryeo, there is no need to be polite. I am not here on behalf of the Song Dynasty this time. I really cannot bear such a great gift from the Lord of the Kingdom."

After everyone exchanged greetings, the King of Korea began to host a banquet in honor of Zhao Mu and others. And let the singers and dancers in the palace perform some of their own national dances to add to the fun.

During the banquet, these Korean girls danced quite well. Unfortunately, what Zhao Mu was not satisfied with was the banquet side dishes in Goryeo's "hot pot side dishes". Zhao Mu felt that the quality of food here was not as good as that of the servants of Prince Taqi's Mansion. Especially the sour smell of kimchi after fermentation made him very sick.

Not only Zhao Mu couldn't get used to it, but all the Central Plains people present couldn't get used to eating these things.

The food and wine prepared were not to the liking of the distinguished guests, and the King of Korea also expressed his apologies.

As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

The Goryeo Kingdom naturally had its own purpose in entertaining Zhao Mu so diligently.

After the banquet, Zhao Mu sent Murong Fu away. Ju Jian and others went back to rest first, while he stayed alone in the palace.

Zhao Mu and the father and son of the King of Korea looked at each other. Zhao Mu said straight to the point: "Okay, the banquet has been finished, and all the people who were in the way have left. I wonder what the king and the crown prince have to ask of me?"

Faced with Zhao Mu's quick words, the King of Goryeo also said flatteringly: "I have long heard that His Highness King Qi is a bold and heroic man. Today, when I saw him, he certainly lived up to his reputation. If this is the case, then I will speak frankly."

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you say so, Lord."
