God and mystery

Chapter 383
In Shuntian Mansion, Zhang Tianshi, who was meditating and recuperating, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced in the direction of North Korea.

"The Korean War is over, and we can dispatch our troops back to deal with the North."

North Korea's luck is picking up at an extremely fast speed, even Zhang Tianshi, who is far away in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, can sense it.After all, North Korea itself is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and there is a certain correlation between luck.

And the situation is as Zhang Tianshi expected.

Emperor Wanli was beside the old Tianshi, and there seemed to be clouds flowing in the palm of his hand. Hearing this sentence, he was very surprised.

After a while.

After the news left Tianshi's residence, Emperor Wanli went to Zuoshunmen from here.

In the afternoon, the emperor summoned civil and military officials to discuss matters.

When civil and military officials got the news, they didn't dare to be negligent, and rushed from all over the place without stopping. Now the Forbidden City is hanging high in the sky, like the law world covering the next world. "Addiction.

Before today, Emperor Wanli had not held a court meeting for more than ten days.

Everyone thought that Wanli had become the hands-off shopkeeper in the past again, but now there are various abnormalities in Ming Dynasty, and even the Forbidden City has become completely different from the past. These officials also know that they are in the torrent of change. Can be washed into dust.

The envoy of North Korea was also summoned to the Imperial Palace immediately. The latter looked tense. After paying the salute, he learned that the country's crisis had been lifted. He was startled for a moment and then burst into tears!

"Disgrace in front of the palace!"

A minister came out to scold him, and the North Korean envoy quickly said that he hadn't returned to his country for seven years, and now that he heard that his country was in danger, he couldn't help himself, so he wept with joy, and then knelt down, expressing his praises.

"This time, the favor of the upper kingdom to the lower kingdom is just a re-creation! The lower kingdom dare not forget the great kindness of the upper kingdom. It should be erected as a biography, and it will be handed down forever in the lower kingdom."

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Emperor Wanli waved his hand, expressing that he should not talk too much during the scene.

But there is a price to pay for helping!
"Ah? This is from Shangguo!"

The North Korean envoy was taken aback. Has the so-called "protecting North Korea means protecting China" strategic direction changed?Didn't you say that this battle doesn't cost anything?The upper country protects the lower country, and it is also to defend against Japanese pirates' invasion. This is what should be done!

"My servant is stupid, I don't know what His Majesty means! Now that North Korea is devastated, there is really nothing to pay tribute to Shangguo!"

Emperor Wanli glanced at the eunuch beside him. The latter leaned over and whispered something to Emperor Wanli. Emperor Wanli nodded slightly, then looked at the emissary, and said:

"The Celestial Dynasty is a big country with rich products, and you don't need any treasures from your small country. The war lasted for seven years, and the Japanese pirates were like lice jumping on the beam, not letting the world stop, so that the people were devastated, no one lived for thousands of miles, and the bones were exposed in the countryside."

"So, I, Daming! What I want to ask for from your country is not treasures, money, food, property, or anyone's head."

"I want the right to use your country's land."

As soon as these words came out, the North Korean envoy's face turned pale!With a plop, he knelt down on the spot and kowtowed like pounding garlic:

"Think twice, Your Majesty! Since the founding of the kingdom, the lower kingdom has always followed the example of the upper kingdom. The lower kingdom is like a son, and the upper kingdom is like a father. Father, father and son, the way of a monarch and ministers! There has never been any violation of the upper kingdom in the past 200 years. To end up in this kind of ending of destroying the country!"

The North Korean envoy wept bitterly, but Emperor Wanli was not annoyed. He stopped those officials who reprimanded the North Korean envoy for their disrespect, and then patiently explained:

"You misunderstood, I am not trying to destroy your country."

"In the Tang Dynasty in the past, there was Li Junqiu, who knew that Tang Gaozong wanted to conquer Koryo, so he went up and said: "The Koryo man is a clown who hides in the mountains and seas. It is not enough to show his sanctification; abandoning his land is not enough. Damage to the might of Heaven. Why do you want to exhaust the people of China and pour out the wealth of the treasury? Make men unable to cultivate and women not to weave silkworms! Your Majesty is a parent and does not have a heart of compassion. Instead, he spends his limited wealth and covets useless land. If it is ordered that Goryeo is destroyed, it will have to send troops to defend it. If there are fewer troops, the military power will be insufficient, and if there are many troops, people will be disturbed. It is exhausted to turn around and the people will be bored. If the people are bored, the world will be defeated!"

"Since the world is defeated, how can Your Majesty feel at ease? I think that it is better not to conquer than to conquer, and it is better not to destroy than to destroy."

Emperor Wanli recounted this passage in its entirety, and all the courtiers present agreed deeply. Although the Korean envoy looked ugly, the crisis of national subjugation was at hand, so he had to kowtow and continue:
"The minister of the former Tang Dynasty, with every word and pearl, said the truth, the lower country is such a barren land, how can it attract the attention of the upper country! So that if you want to take the country, is it possible to set up Anton to protect it?"

Of course, some resentment gradually appeared in his words.

"presumptuous!"

Some officials kept shouting at this time, and loudly reprimanded the North Korean envoy!
"What do you mean by this sentence? How dare you ask the current emperor in such a tone?"

The ministers usually like to hate the emperor, but it is obvious that there is something important right now. Even the officials who are ready to move have not spoken. Obviously, they can't find the point of the spray. Just now, Emperor Wanli said that he wanted to take the land of North Korea. They immediately prepared Unexpectedly, before he could stand up, Emperor Wanli changed his subject and quoted a letter of advice from the Tang Dynasty to ridicule North Korea as a useless land and conquest would not be worthwhile.

This made the officials look at each other in blank dismay at this time, and decided not to spray first, but to wait for an opportunity later.

Emperor Wanli waved his hand, still explaining very patiently:
"I feel that what the Tang Dynasty said is indeed true. It is useless to confiscate your country of Korea. Besides, Emperor Taizu set fifteen countries that will not be confiscated, and you Korea is at the top. It is not good for me to take the initiative to break the rules. "

"However, if your monarch has the heart of disobedience and commits the crime of deceiving the monarch, then you can't blame me!"

Emperor Wanli's voice suddenly increased by an octave: "Your North Korea is the head of the [-]th unconquered country, followed by Japan! Now Japan is taking the initiative to attack you. After seven years of war, the title of this unconquered country has long been taken away. !"

The North Korean envoy continued to kowtow, panicked: "The king of our country has never had the heart of rebellion!"

"Not rebellious? Now that the war is over, you have to count your country's 'contribution'!"

Emperor Wanli began to criticize the North Korean envoys. First of all, the first thing is that when he first entered North Korea to fight, he gave all kinds of false information in order to protect the face of the monarch. For example, this city was obviously occupied by the Japanese army. As a result, they were ambushed when they passed by, and there were countless similar things. The most common one was to lie about the strength of the troops, so that there were many mistakes in strategy.

North Korea's emphatic emphasis on literature and contempt of military affairs is simply an enhanced version of the Song Dynasty in this respect, which led to various military generals being forced to be remotely controlled by the North Korean king who ran away, and North Korean soldiers were captured by the Japanese army many times and then directly mutinied on the spot and turned around to attack In the Ming army, there are countless things.

The North Korean envoy trembled when he heard all the nasty things. He was sweating coldly and cursed in his heart. He secretly thought that your Ming Dynasty army also did a lot of evil things in North Korea. There were Yang Gao's various strategic mistakes so that a big victory turned into a big defeat, but these are not mentioned at all now, only the shortcomings of his own country are counted, but there is no self-examination!
But he only cursed these words in his heart, and if he really said it, he knew that if he dared to say it now, his head would probably fly off the next moment.

This is obviously a bargain.

It's just that they don't know the real purpose of asking for land.

So the North Korean envoy burst into tears, knocked his head on the ground, knelt down, and said he was wronged!
"The soldier's mutiny is the general's fault! Morale is low, it is the general's fault! Intelligence failure is the general's fault! What does it have to do with us!"

"Your Majesty must be aware!"

Emperor Wanli: "I have already seen clearly that it really has little to do with you. Except for a few who stayed in North Korea, most of them ran to my feet. Of course these things have little to do with you, right?"

However, after such taunting words were spoken, the North Korean envoy still looked as usual, but there were two more snots on his face. Emperor Wanli did not have the intention to humiliate an envoy who went to the country. If he wanted to scold him, he had to catch the other king. Embarrassing a courtier who is going to the country, in his own capacity, it will inevitably appear very unattractive.

So straight to the point:

"I have said so much, and I have counted down most of the mistakes that your country's monarch, ministers, and generals have committed during the entire battle in the past seven years! Every word is true and cannot be denied."

"You also said that your country is the son, and my great Ming is the father. Father and son, king and minister, and ministers deceive the monarch. Isn't this a serious crime of deceiving the monarch!"

The North Korean envoy didn't dare to breathe too much, just kowtowed continuously, without even saying a word, and started to show off.

Don't take over.

Emperor Wanli: "It seems that you don't dare to admit it. Of course, you can't admit it for your monarch! Therefore, I want you to tell your monarch that North Korea's property, land, food, and people are fundamentally , or your country’s own.”

"All I want is the right to use those lands."

The land is yours, but I also want to use your land, and when I use it, you cannot use it.

But I'm not destroying your country, I'm just doing my thing on your territory.

As for what I'm going to do, I can't let you know!Besides, it has nothing to do with you!
"I want land, and what I do has nothing to do with you. In your country, the people's livelihood should be restored, and it will be restored. The fields that should be plowed, the books that should be read, and the soldiers that should be trained. How about asking anything else about your country?"

"This!"

The North Korean envoy looked extremely embarrassed!
"What? The monarch of your country has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. I just want the right to use the land. You want to break up with me?"

Emperor Wanli narrowed his eyes, looking unfriendly.

The North Korean envoy scolded such a scoundrel in his heart!
This is also considered a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!
Well, anyway, the power of interpretation is in your hands, so what you say is what you say!

At this time, an official from below jumped out, but when the time came, he just said:
"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate!"

"How can I covet the land of the next country when I am in heaven, it is like asking for shame"

Emperor Wanli waved his hand: "Drag it on, seal his mouth, and talk about it later."

The officer's eyes widened. Before he could react, Jin Yiwei picked him up, covered his mouth, and dragged him outside the store. There was an uproar in the courtroom. Treating a courtier like this is not what an emperor should do. !

Immediately, many people became angry and were about to stand up and make trouble. Emperor Wanli didn't know what he was thinking at this time, and then pointed forward:
"Certainly!"

As soon as the word fell, several officials stood still on the spot, and this scene also surprised the three elders, including other important ministers!
Damn, the emperor didn't go to court a few days ago and hid in the palace, now he understands what's going on!
The co-author is to learn spells with the old master!

For a moment, the officials were terrified!In the past, in order to prevent the emperor's power from being too great, someone needed to be impeached and vigilant all the time, so the Yanguan was set up. Now that the emperor has cultivated immortality, a word can turn the Yanguan into a wooden man!

This is really a word!

"Why are you panicking? I see that you are all very frightened."

Emperor Wanli showed a surprised expression, but it was obvious that he was putting on a show, mocking the ministers and saying:

"Emperor Zhengde also has spells, and Emperor Jiajing also has spells. Why, both Zhengde and Jiajing can practice Dharma, but I can't?"

"However, I am not a tyrant. I learned these spells just to tell you that sometimes, when talking about business, don't interrupt, and don't speak up suddenly. This will interrupt my train of thought."

"So, be quiet. If there is any problem, let's discuss it slowly after the North Korean envoy leaves."

All the ministers were silent for a while, but the elder Sange acted as if he hadn't seen it, standing in the front row like a wooden sculpture of clay, his nostrils were only used to vent his breath, his eyes were only used to look at the sky, and the only thing coming in and out in his ears was the sound of the wind, and he never heard it. See what the emperor and the officials are talking about.

Immediately, Emperor Wanli looked back at the North Korean envoy:

"I don't have the time to talk to you guys. If you give or not, I'll give you an answer within two days."

The Tatars in the north invaded the border, and now they are gradually invading the land of Liaodong. Emperor Wanli did not have much time for the Korean envoy to think about it, and asked him to communicate with the king of his family immediately without any delay.

The North Korean envoy showed embarrassment, but he didn't dare to refute any more. He could only hurriedly thank the emperor for his "Ende". Afterwards, Jin Yiwei led him away and communicated with the Korean king with the help of a messenger talisman. Emperor Wanli also had an idea in his mind , that is, this talisman is really easy to use.

After my bastard younger brother copied his "inheritance", the most useful thing among them is this kind of talisman, and with a celestial master here, imitating this kind of talisman is just a matter of ease, after all, although talisman It is miraculous, but it has not been immortal after all. One of the foundations of the Tianshi Mansion is the talisman. How can it fall behind others in the way of talisman?
With the communication talisman, in one thought, together with the talisman paper, a flash of inspiration, and then you can communicate with people thousands of miles away in real time, which is more important than anything else.
