Chapter 86

(Ask for collection recommendations. As a writer, if you don’t dare to ask for collection recommendations, you don’t use it to write books. What should be contested should still be contested.)
It took more than ten days for Lu Chengqi to receive a secret report from the inspectors about Goryeo sending envoys to the Liao Kingdom.It has to be said that the Korean people did a very good job of keeping secrets, and the inspectors lurking in Korea did not get any wind.This news was obtained secretly by the monitors lurking in the Liao Kingdom. Through the most confidential channels, it was sent to the Uighurs, and then passed back by the monitors who pretended to be caravans.After all, the Shunliao border is now at war, and it is difficult to get in and out, and the search is very strict.

After going through this for many days, it took more than ten days to pass it back to Lu Chengqi.But at this moment, the Battle of Youzhou City was in full swing, and after Lu Chengqi finished watching it, he immediately got angry, and immediately asked the cabinet ministers, six ministers, and all the generals of the military staff to come to the Chuigong Hall for an audience.

When all the ministers arrived, Lu Chengqi hadn't appeared yet.But the sharp-eyed ministers noticed it, and the servants who were serving at the side didn't dare to take a deep breath.Such a depressing atmosphere caused all the ministers to discuss and speculate about what happened.

Not long after, Lu Chengqi entered through the palace gate, and the anger on his face that had been calmed down after all efforts, now looked calm.After Lu Chengqi took his seat, he said, "Give me a seat."

The servants did not dare to be negligent, and immediately moved chairs, and waited for the ministers to sit down.All the ministers did not dare to sit on the buttocks, they all leaned forward and sat halfway.

After Lu Chengqi waited for the servants to serve the tea, he waved them away and asked them to close the palace door as well.For a moment, the vertical arch hall without light entering looked a little dark.

And Lu Chengqi's face, at the moment, can't be said to have much sunshine, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it is shrouded in a layer of cold light.The people sitting in the Chuigong Hall are all big figures who have mastered the absolute power of the Shun Dynasty.Except for the regular court, I have never seen such an orderly gathering of people to discuss national affairs.The officials also knew in their hearts that someone must have angered Lu Chengqi, otherwise Lu Chengqi would not have such a big fight.

The twelve cabinet ministers are: Xu Chongguang, Jiang Ying, Zhu Xucai, Wei Xujing, Zheng Yan, Sun Leping, Cao Wenzhong, He Yunli, Shi Wenfei, Zhang Siming, Lu Zhenduan, Zhao Yuanyi.The six ministers are: Feng Chengping, Minister of Rites, Wu Xianzhi, Minister of Officials, Qin Yikang, Minister of War, Huang Xishi, Minister of Industry, Lin Zhenzhong, Minister of Household, Zhou Yanhua, Minister of Punishment, Jiang Yu, Privy Envoy of Military Staff, Pan Xingyi and Peng Jinkang, Deputy Privy Envoys.The rest of the military staff were not summoned. Most of them were descendants of nobles and nobles, and they didn't have much real talent and learning.

It can be said that the holders of the highest power in the Dashun Dynasty are all in the heavily guarded Chuigong Palace at this moment, and all the officials are looking at Lu Chengqi nervously, waiting for his thunder.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chengqi said calmly: "I just received a report from the Supervision Department..." Hearing this, all the officials suddenly felt a "thump". Even if you don't have corruption, corruption, or bribery, you are still nervous. When you hear these two terms, your legs tremble.

"Korea has switched to Liao." After Lu Chengqi said this calmly, all the officials breathed a sigh of relief.I just breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment I realized it: "Huh?"

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to believe it.Since the founding of Dashun, Goryeo has always been a vassal state of Dashun. Why did it suddenly switch to Liao today and regard Liao as its suzerain?
Lu Chengqi said calmly: "The facts are like this. Zhuqing thinks, how to deal with Korea in the future, whether to attack or alienate and prevent, and now draw up a charter."

At this time, Feng Chengping, who had been vaccinated, immediately said: "What your majesty said to the minister earlier is good. There are no permanent enemies or friends between countries. There are only permanent interests. Although these words It's rough, but the truth is real. Goryeo switched to Liao Kingdom because I, Dashun, couldn't give him the benefits he wanted. This is how I understand it."

Xu Chongguang frowned and said, "Was it too harsh on the Goryeo envoys last time? I heard that His Majesty only brought them back some local products. I'm afraid this matter is the fuse..."

Lu Chengqi accepted Xu Chongguang's criticism calmly, and said: "Xu Qing is right, but I don't think I did anything wrong. If such a vassal state sells out the suzerain state for the sake of profit, don't worry about it, save it when the time comes." Stabbing in the back. Now it is clear that we have taken precautions, which is not bad. We were too stupid before, and spent tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to please a white-eyed wolf and give potential enemies for nothing It has strengthened its strength. I want to remind you here, 'No vassals, no tribute, no cede land, no compensation, no marriage, and those who offend China will be punished even if they are far away!' This sentence is not just a slogan What is said must be done. Isn’t the return of gifts and rewards the same as paying tribute? Although I am not a wise king, I am still very clear about this. Between countries, apart from interests, there will be no Other points of contention. Since Korea has made this decision, it must accept the punishment for doing so."

If Lu Chengqi uttered these words in a thunderous manner, the officials would still think that Lu Chengqi was normal.Which emperor who wanted to save face would not be furious when encountering such a thing?Those who have a bad temper will use their swords.

But when Lu Chengqi said it so calmly, the officials present were shocked. They knew that Lu Chengqi like this was absolutely abnormal.Abnormal consequences are often serious.As the saying goes, when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses are laid down. This is the truth.

Xu Chongguang said cautiously: "Then what His Majesty means is, how to punish Goryeo?"

Lu Chengqian looked at him calmly and said, "Right now the Liao Kingdom is invading our border, and has no spare power to deal with Goryeo. For the time being, we will secretly dispatch the Xiang Army to act as a frontier army to guard the border of Goryeo for a while. Then send the new The recruited soldiers are filled into the imperial army, and now I need an army capable of fighting to protect my rivers and mountains."

The officials were silent, and they also knew the consequences of Korea's rebellion.Right now around Dashun, not many countries are close to Dashun.Because there are no Tupan, Dali and Xixia in this time and space, the surrounding Uighurs (Uighurs, including Xizhou Uighurs, Yellow Head Uighurs), Khotan, Heikhan, Khwarazimo, Tianzhu, Bagan, Jiaozhi (Annan) Japan, Japan, more or less have some opinions on Dashun, even if they don’t, they are not happy with Dashun, anyway, they are not very friendly.This is like a mentality of hatred of the rich, but they are not strong enough to dare to come to share a piece of the pie.But on the surface they seem to be very affectionate, but once Liao Guo speaks, they dare not have close contact with Dashun.

Now that Dashun has lost its last ally, it is at an extremely disadvantageous position strategically.It's no wonder that Lu Chengqi is so angry, people who add insult to injury are usually the most hated.

Hubu Minister Lin Zhenzhong said: "Your Majesty is right. The treasury does not support a two-sided war. The strength of Koryo is not to be underestimated. It is difficult to conquer it in a hurry. If there is a two-sided war, I will definitely lose. The only immediate plan is to Swallow your breath, imitate the Qin State, make friends from far and attack near, and buy time."
