Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 172 Goguryeo Ambassador

"Ambassador of Goguryeo~"

All the ministers in the court stood by, Duan Hongchen sat on the throne, Xu Qi stood aside, and two men in loose Hanfu strode in.Xu Qing listened after breaking a curtain behind Hongchen.Xu Qing thought, Duan Hongchen's face must be ugly now.

Just because of the Goguryeo people's proclaimed speech.

In ancient times, there was a kind of honor reserved for the kind of ministers who were under one person and above ten thousand people, that is, praise without being famous.What is praise without a name?In fact, speaking of it, it is also a tasteless pain in the ass.

Then Xu Qing said that when he went to meet the emperor, the eunuch Xuanjin would say "Xu Qing, the governor of Bo Cangzhou, Luonan County, will meet you~", but if the emperor gave Xu Qing the privilege of "praising and not being named", the eunuch It would say, "The governor of Bo Cangzhou, Luonan County, has an audience~".So it is the relationship between two words missing.

But such a tasteless benefit, in history, there are still many people flocking to it, and even many people lost their lives because of it.

This is also the reason for Duan Hongchen's ugly complexion.If you give it to you, that is a gift, if you don't give it to you, but you want it, that is not a rule.You don't have it, but you use it here majesticly, that is treason!
When Xu Qing was guessing Duan Hongchen's face, he heard the minister of Bohai say angrily outside: "Bold, why don't you worship my king in person?!" There is no written language in Mohe language, so Bohai's official dialect is Chinese, so Xu Qing naturally listened. understand.

He listened with sharp ears, only to hear the Goguryeo man chattering, and a person next to him translated without delay: "A minister of a big country does not worship the king of a small country."

wow~
"Bold, Goguryeo dares to call itself a big country in Bohai?!"

"Kill him as an example to others!"

"Send his head back and see what the Goguryeo people do!"

"Are the Goguryeo people really so powerful?"

There was an uproar in the court.The ministers were filled with righteous indignation, and some secretly speculated on the strength of Goguryeo.

According to the ancient etiquette, there is indeed such a rule that the ministers of the suzerain state do not need to perform the big ceremony when they come to the eldest son country, and the ministers of the great clan do not need to perform the salute to the king of the small clan.However, if the Goguryeo people used this one in Bohai, wouldn't that just directly lower the Bohai state?

It's like asking you to call me dad in person, can you bear it?

Whether you can bear it or not, you can't bear it anyway.

Duan Hongchen sneered and said, "Guanxiang, the envoys of your country would not say such words to sow dissension. The translator must be causing trouble!"

"Come on, drag this translator out to show the public!"

At this time, the translator panicked, he was just a handyman, and he couldn't talk about his integrity, so he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the villain must not dare to sow discord."

"The ambassador said what you said just now?" Duan Hongchen touched his chin and said to the Goguryeo ambassador, meaning, do you have the guts to take the blame yourself?
"Don't you dare! Aren't you afraid of my Goguryeo soldiers?" The Goguryeo man was speechless for a moment, and even spoke Chinese.

Originally, Goguryeo, Bohai, and Central Plains have a lot of intersects, and all cultural systems have to be copied from the Central Plains. It should be able to speak Chinese, and even some Goguryeo people speak Chinese more fluently than Goguryeo.But in order to maintain the dignity of the Goguryeo envoys, they had to pretend to be taller.

Duan Hongchen snorted, and said viciously: "Hmph! You have to think clearly about what to say!"

At this time, two of the soldiers had already come up, and when they mentioned the translator, they went out.The translator struggled and kept calling for help, shouting "wronged", but the Goguryeo ambassador dared not save him. Once he rescued him, he would have to bear the "blame" just now.

The soldiers did not pull away, just at the place where the Goguryeo people could see blood and hear wailing, they raised their knives and fell, blood splashing on people's heads.

The Goguryeo ambassador closed his surprised mouth, adjusted his clothes, and bowed to Duan Hongchen: "Gaoguryeo minister, pay homage to King Balhai."

"Get up, sit down~"

The Goguryeo ambassador sat down, and Duan Hongchen asked what you were doing here. Xu Qing, the Goguryeo ambassador, stood up again and said: "When your country was in chaos, our country sent troops to protect the people of your country. I didn't expect your country's kindness to be a donkey's liver and lungs, and kill all our soldiers. , It’s really an inhuman act of thugs!”

"Shameless!" Xu Qing cursed secretly behind the curtain, this group of Goguryeo people sent troops because they got the money and beauties from the Three Small Kingdoms, what is there to protect the people of Bohai?It may not even be true to support the three small countries, taking advantage of the fire is their intention.

"Nonsense, we never fought Goguryeo soldiers at all!" A minister said righteously, they really didn't know that Xu Qing destroyed the Goguryeo people, they just thought that the Goguryeo people came and left by themselves.

Another echoed: "Yes, we have been defending the city. Where have we seen Koreans?"

The Goguryeo ambassador turned around and retorted to them: "If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. The mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood are still there. Could it be that my two thousand Goguryeo soldiers committed suicide?"

Another minister stood up:

"The ambassador is ridiculous. The war in our country is also our own business. Why should the people of our country wait to intervene in protection?"

The Goguryeo ambassador smiled and said, "There are four seas in the world, and the people are one family. How can you divide your country into other countries to protect the people? It is only natural for our country to send troops, isn't it?"

"This..." All the officials in the court were speechless for a while to refute.Xu Qing was chattering his teeth in anger behind the curtain. Isn't this the same meaning that American people's human rights are higher than sovereignty?Under this guise, where can I go?But people under this guise don't really care about human rights!

Seeing that no one refuted it, the Goguryeo ambassador was very proud.

"Sit~" Duan Hongchen asked the Goguryeo ambassador to sit again, and when his buttocks touched the seat, he asked, "What does your country want?"

The Goguryeo ambassador sneered: "Without him, the pension and equipment of two thousand Goguryeo children, and all the land east of Changchangling, you can't set foot in Bohai Sea."

Duan Hongchen said "oh", seemed to remember something, and asked: "When Bohai was restored to the country, an envoy was sent there, but he was killed for some reason?"

As soon as these words came out, the Goguryeo ambassador was shocked.Sending troops can be done under the banner of protecting the people, but beheading envoys is a direct declaration of war.Since it was a direct declaration of war, it was reasonable for him to exterminate the [-] soldiers of Goguryeo, and he did nothing wrong.Moreover, what Duan Hongchen said must be true, it cannot be faked.

Seeing that the Goguryeo ambassador was silent, Duan Hongchen said in a cold tone, "Your country beheaded one of my courtiers, and this time I will behead one too. I wonder if it's okay?"

"You..." the Goguryeo ambassador said: "I have a hundred thousand soldiers in Goguryeo, can you resist the front of the soldiers?"

The ministers at the side said in unison at this moment: "Your Majesty, think twice..."

Duan Hongchen looked around at the ministers in the court, sighed, and said one word coldly: "Kill!"

"Your Majesty, you can't do it. I'm just standing in Bohai Sea, and it's time to recuperate..."

"My king, I have a word..."

"Your Majesty, those who achieve great things don't care about small things, Gou Jian can break Wu through hard work!"

At this time, all the ministers forgot the Goguryeo ambassador's humiliation to Bohai and the treachery of the Goguryeo people, and they all persuaded Duan Hongchen.Seeing this situation, the Goguryeo ambassador looked at Duan Hongchen with disdain, meaning, can you go against the wishes of the ministers of the whole country?

Who knows that Duan Hongchen laughed three times, then stood up and said: "If Goujian had a group of courtiers like you back then, he would not be able to defeat Wu."

"Come here, kill this dog envoy!"

The Goguryeo ambassador lost his head, and rolled on the ground bloody under the eyes of everyone.

Xu Qing, who was standing behind the curtain, quietly called Xu Qi over, and found that she had a calm face and no fear, she shook her head and said, like a father, like a daughter.After retiring from the court, Duan Hongchen kept guard in his own palace, neither coming out nor letting anyone in.

The head was picked up, picked up with a spear, and thrown outside.The rest of the Goguryeo Mission snatched it from the mad dogs in Longquan City and returned to Goguryeo.

In three days, half of the ministers in the court reported illness and sent soldiers.On the fifth day, Goguryeo threatened an army of [-] to fight.Almost all the remaining ministers have left, and there are still a few hardcore left.

At this time, Duan Hongchen found Xu Qing.Xu Qing fanned the cattail fan and fed the fish with chaff grains. Duan Hongchen watched from the side, sighed and said, "I thought that if we returned to Bohai Sea and unified, we would be able to find the original Bohai country."

"Now? Didn't you find it back?"

"No, although the country has been restored, the spirit that my disciples of Mohe used to expand the territory, fight against the sky, and never admit defeat has long since disappeared..."

"Fight the sky and the earth..." Xu Qing shook his head, isn't that a glorious nation that fights the sky and the earth?But how many ethnic groups are buried in peace.

Xu Qing only said: "Why are you so heroic and short of breath?"

Duan Hongchen shook his head, indicating that he couldn't take it, he said: "Xu Qing, you said I did it, is it right?"

It seems that he still has some regrets.

Xu Qing nodded and said without hesitation:
"Yes, the Goguryeo people gain a foot today, and they will need another foot tomorrow. A little bit a day, eating away at the Bohai Sea. When you have no way to retreat, you will find that the Goguryeo people are really invincible."

Duan Hongchen asked again: "However, [-] soldiers from Goguryeo invaded, what should we do?"

Xu Qing said one word:

"war."

"Fifty thousand soldiers..."

"Shou."

"They're all gone, I'm the king of Bohai, and I'm gone without a single subject."

"Fight, you still have Dark River."

Duan Hongchen suddenly realized, and ordered the next day to set up the Anhe General's Mansion to replace the original Xiangguo Mansion.General Anhe's Mansion, which is Jinyiwei of East Factory and West Factory, only obeys the orders of King Bohai, but General Anhe's Mansion handles the affairs of the central government.At the local level, the original bureaucratic system is still in place.

Underworld General's Mansion is held by members of Underriver, who exchange with Xu Qing's members once a year. It integrates supervision, administration, and army management. The positions in Underhe General's Mansion are not known to outsiders.

Some people say, aren't you afraid that the Underworld General's Mansion is the dominant one? Jinyiwei was the dominant one back then, which led to the establishment of the East Factory and the West Factory one after another.Xu Qing said, no, as long as the dark river in Xu Qing's hands is not chaotic.

This system, of course, is only temporary. It is to deal with the situation where ministers resign collectively and no one can control them. It will definitely be more and more perfect in the future.

Most of the people in the dark river are proficient in deceit, and they handle government affairs more efficiently than the previous ministers.
