The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1452 Meeting of the Prince of Korea

"Who are you? I really wish I didn't know you. By the way, I remember that you are the prince of Goryeo. It's almost a hundred years old. Goryeo has nothing to do with us."

An unexpected person came to visit Zhao Xu. At first Zhao Xu said he didn't know this person, but after a while he suddenly realized that this person was the prince of Korea.

God knows what this prince does and how many princes there are in a royal family. In fact, one of the important reasons why Zhao Xu doesn't take him seriously is that everyone in the future will talk about Goryeo sticks, and they don't like them very much.

"Oh, I remember that your name is Wang Xu and mine, come sit down and say, sit down." Zhao Xu seemed to be talking to his subordinates. Although Wang Xu was a little annoyed, he didn't dare to say it What, who made Goryeo weak?

"It is my honor to be able to reunite with His Highness. We have not been in contact with the Central Plains Dynasty for so many years. It is because of the constant wars in the Central Plains. Although we have lost contact, our hearts can always be concerned about the Central Plains." Wang Xu did not either. You're welcome, just sit down.

"Hehe, this is also a reason. The war in the Central Plains is not easy for you, so are you going to surrender to the Liao Kingdom?"

Goryeo has always been a subsidiary country of the Central Plains. Although they are a country, where is their identity?

Especially Goryeo, they had already become the largest country in the Sui Dynasty.

The main value of this is a relatively large country in the Northeast region, the capital of which is Pyongyang City, the hometown of Han Lelang County, also known as Chang'an City.Pyongyang City, Domestic City, and Seoul are also known as the "Three Capitals" of Goguryeo.

At this time, the Goguryeo people occupied most of Liaodong, and the hereditary Lord of Goguryeo was the Duke of Liaodong.Goguryeo is the overlord of Liaodong and a powerful regime, but don't forget that Liaodong was the territory of the Sui Dynasty at that time, and Goryeo was just touching the tiger's ass.

Sure enough, Koryo invaded western Liaoning soon after, which directly brought unrest and harm to the Sui border. "Not serving tribute" affected the unified central government's control of the region.

For these, the Sui Central Government could not bear it, so it must take corresponding measures, so it "desires to punish it".

In the third year of Emperor Yangdi's great career in the Sui Dynasty, King Yingyang of Goguryeo sent envoys to secretly communicate with the Turks with the back of the Sui Dynasty. Invite him to see the God."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Niu Hong to convey his will to the Goguryeo envoys: "I serve the country with sincerity to inspire the people, so my relatives will go to Zhuojun, and I will return the sun, and tell the king of Goryeo that it is better to come to the court as soon as possible, so don't be suspicious. The gift of preservation should be the same as that of Qimin. If there is no court, Qimin will be patrolling the other land."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty knew that King Yingyang of Goguryeo had secretly communicated with the Turks, so he did not sanction him. He only gave him a warning, asking him to perform his pilgrimage on time as a courtier.

However, King Yingyang of Goguryeo insisted on "disobeying" Emperor Sui Yang's will, which led to "emperor discussion and discussion".At that time, the Sui Dynasty only discussed the conquest of Goguryeo, but did not send troops.In the seventh year of Daye, Yang Guang started a crusade.

Knowing that after the demise of the Great Sui Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang continued to conquer Goryeo. Wasn't it because people like Goryeo were too arrogant? Although they didn't achieve their expected goals, Goryeo and the others had been honest for many years.

After the end of the Tang Dynasty, all countries in the Central Plains were busy competing for territory, and it was useless for anyone to talk about Goryeo. This also gave Goryeo a period of time to develop.

What Zhao Xu said made Wang Xu very embarrassed. If you can't get in touch with us, let that fall into the arms of the Liao Kingdom.

"Hehe, Xiao Wang came to Beijing just to have a look and has no other meaning, especially after meeting the prince, I hope to send envoys to Bianjing after I go back. I don't know what you mean?"

Wang Xu was not a simple person. They came to contact the Liao Kingdom in order to expand their territory. After meeting Zhao Xu, they also wanted to get in touch with Da Song.

After all, no one is a fool and can't completely trust a person, especially if they can't bet their treasure on a country. It's hard to say who will have the last laugh between the Liao Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty.

"Envoys? I remember that Koryo used to be a subsidiary state of the Central Plains Dynasty. Did you send envoys to pay tribute, or is it like you came to Liao Kingdom?"

Zhao Xu didn't let Wang Xu go, do you think you came to Bianjing to pay tribute? Paying tribute means that you are still a vassal state of the Central Plains, and you are not qualified to be equal to me.

Especially the last sentence, should it be treated like the Liao Kingdom?

If that's the case, it means that you are too arrogant.

"Hehe, Goryeo just came to establish a friendly relationship with Da Song. As for the future, who can say clearly, don't you think so?"

Wang Xu's ambiguous answer made Zhao Xu understand what he wanted to do. The people in that place were indeed like this, and later generations inherited their character, but Zhao Xu would never let them continue in this situation. , I have my own plans.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to go to Bianjing. We'll have a good talk about Yixi at that time. Now I'm still a captive and it's still unknown when I can go back. It's not as free as you coming here."

Zhao Xu's words startled Wang Xu. Zhao Xu was a prisoner, so he wouldn't believe it. He had never seen such a prisoner before, and the treatment of this prisoner was a bit too high.

The board and lodging are the same as him, can this be a captive or a prisoner? You must know that the captives in Koryo were either beheaded or in prison, people like Zhao Xu.

"I'm just kidding. I came to see the prince today because I hope to become friends with the prince and lay the foundation for future exchanges between the two countries. I wonder if the prince recognizes me as a friend?"

Wang Xu pretended that what Zhao Xu said was a joke, and he directly said what he meant, so that he could get acquainted with Zhao Xu and lay a certain foundation for future exchanges between Goryeo and Song Dynasty.

"If a friend is not a friend, it depends on your attitude. There is a saying in the Song Dynasty, that is, when a friend comes, we welcome him warmly, and when an enemy comes, we have enough bows and arrows, but I don't think the prince will be our enemy, no. ?"

Zhao Xu looked at Wang Xu with a smile, and looked at Wang Xu with horror.

"Of course we in Goryeo are willing to be friends with the Great Song Dynasty. This time, my grandfather Fei, who is our Majesty Goryeo, has repeatedly emphasized."

Zhao Xu didn't believe what Wang Xu said at all, but he couldn't do anything substantial now, wouldn't it be nice to play with this guy.

"Prince, what did the prince of the Song Dynasty say?"

"This person is too cunning. It seems that people in the Central Plains are not easy to bully. We can only go back and make plans." Wang Xu and his followers said in a low voice.

He originally came to talk to Zhao Xu about something, but he couldn't say it out. He didn't know what it was, and Zhao Xu was quickly invited away by Ye Luxian.
