Water Margin Survival

Chapter 781 At the Right Time, Hitting the Right Head

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and we are talking about Tokyo at this time.It is said that after a few years, the top secret of the elite soldiers who planned to go out of the city to attack the besieged city will be known to the whole city, even to the ears of the opponents. How can the conversation between Huizong and the ministers at this time withstand the inquiring of interested people?

Gently closing the door of the private room, the standard smile gradually faded from Lehe's face during socializing, and in exchange for a contemplative look, the news I got just now while chatting with a few middle-level officials of the Privy Council made me He was extremely shocked: this time the imperial court actually raised the reception standard for the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom to the same level as that of the Liao Kingdom.

What is this concept in diplomacy?

What kind of country is Liao?The Southern and Northern Dynasties are called the Southern and Northern Dynasties with the Song Dynasty, and they are one of the few superpowers in the world.Although the grievances and grievances between the two countries for hundreds of years are difficult to express in words, it is not an exaggeration to add the highest treatment of foreign envoys to each other.

And what about Goryeo?Although there are three thousand miles of rivers and mountains, but there are many mountains and few lands, and the country is weak and the people are poor.Not to mention the corner of Pian'an, the key is that this country still likes both ends of the first mouse, voted for Liao at one time, and returned to Song Dynasty at another time. With a new backer, you still don't forget the disgusting old backer. It can be said that turning around is ungrateful and shameless.

It is such a small country that cannot be compared with Liao in terms of size, population, potential, and reputation. The Song Dynasty actually gave its envoys such high treatment. It seems that the Song Dynasty decided to make great efforts to win over Korea.

As soon as he guessed this conclusion, Lehe couldn't calm down. The village master sent a mission to visit Song Dynasty at this time, instead of waiting until the entire peninsula was recovered, which shows that his ability to grasp the timing is still extremely accurate.

To say that Lehe has seen many big people in Tokyo, but as a small person from a coastal county, he has not been inspired to look up at all. Even when he meets the current officials through Li Shishi, he seems calm Incomparable, even afterward there was a kind of mediocre disappointment.

He has never been able to understand the reason for his mentality, until he faced today's situation again and again, he finally realized that from Taiyue to the hills, he encountered a few mountain bumps along the way, how can he be so surprised?

Lehe sighed all the way, and walked quickly to Wang Lun's resting place. After matching the signal with Jiao Ting, he entered the door and said, "Brother, good news! Everything is as you expected. The Privy Council will receive the Korean envoy with the highest courtesy." ! At that time, no matter what request we have, we will be able to speak up!"

At this time, the institution in charge of foreign affairs to Li is not the Ministry of Rites among the six ministries, but the Privy Council in charge of the military affairs of the imperial court. Wang Lun, who is determined to make a fortune from the Emperor Daojun, is no stranger to this, and greets the excited After sitting down, Lehe explained the task:

"It shouldn't be difficult to seize the opportunity to gain benefits from Zhao Ji, the big boss. The difficult thing is that the condition I imposed temporarily, I am afraid that the emperors and ministers of the court will have opinions. After all, there is no precedent. It will make them feel threatened. You Tell Li Xuan to find a way to send people to join the Tongwenguan and the mission, and tell Jin Shangshu to let him speak more beautifully, so that Zhao Ji can believe that Gaoli is willing to be the vassal of the Song Dynasty forever. No matter where the barbarians rise in the north, we will stand in the Song Dynasty On the one hand. And our bottom line is, even if Song Guo sends troops to make excuses, we can bear it!"

Le He couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, is the village owner giving in?How can it give people a strong feeling of inviting you into the urn?But if the Song army entered the territory of Goryeo, wouldn't it immediately become the food of the Liangshan army?

But, then again, in normal country-to-country exchanges, how much trust does it take to allow the army of the other country to operate in one's own territory?

To be honest, having a "country" puppet brand in hand is easy to do!

Goryeo, which even the envoys of the Song Dynasty refused to borrow, now expresses such sincerity. This contrast will definitely win enough compensation for Liang Shanbo.

……

"Wow... Wang Yu still has Korean ginseng of such fineness in his hand? Why didn't he refuse to pay tribute in the past?"

Zhao Ji was playing with a tribute marked as Koryo King Ginseng. This time, the ginseng tribute from Koryo was at least a dozen catties, but there was only one of the top grade ginseng called King Ginseng like this one, and there were three other ginseng. The appearance of Korean ginseng is also very good, but it is far less shocking than this one.

Zhao Ji fell in love with this king ginseng very much, but a strange smell came, which made Zhao Ji involuntarily put his nose to the side of a jar of antique fine wine.

This wine is quite different from the royal wine in the palace, you can smell the tangy aroma after three or five steps, it is really a different product.

Zhao Ji was very interested in tasting the wine himself, but after learning from Wang Xiang that the wine was extremely spicy, he stopped thinking about it.

"The veteran also finds it strange that the types of tributes from the Koryo people here are not much different from usual, but the weight has been greatly increased. For example, this king ginseng should be a treasure that is not handed down in the Koryo country. I didn't expect to take it like this Come out. In addition, there is [-] catties of high-quality Goryeo copper, which has never happened since Taizu ascended the throne. The last time the Koreans paid [-] catties of high-quality copper was the old thing of the Chai family in the previous dynasty. There must be something to ask for, and the old minister is afraid that the Korean lion will open his mouth!"

Although Wang Xiang may not be qualified as a military officer, but when it comes to thinking about people, he is definitely a good hand.Otherwise, ordinary people simply don't have the ability to restrain Tong Guan.

"Yes, these tributes may add up to hundreds of thousands of guan? If the rewards from me are less, they will be despised by the barbarians!" Zhao Ji said so, but he refused to let go of the king ginseng in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the Koreans clearly stated that they don't want to give back, these are what they willingly offered to the Holy One!" Wang Xiang said with a complicated expression.

"Oh?! Then what do they want from me?" Zhao Ji also became a little puzzled. A person who refuses to talk about money must have something serious to do, but this Korea is the country he wants to win over, so he became a little nervous . (to be continued~^~)
