Water Margin Survival

As a dynasty of the Central Plains with a world-famous economic scale, the emperors of the Song Dynasty have always been generous in rewards to the various kingdoms, and they went even further when it came to Shenzong.

At any rate, the previous king ordered Yousi to "evaluate the tribute and give it."For example, in the first year of Qianxing, the value of the tribute paid by Jiaozhou was estimated at 680 guan, and the emperor issued an edict to reward [-] guan.Another example is the estimated value of [-] guan of fragrant medicine imported from Jiaozhou in the sixth year of Tiansheng, and the imperial court rewarded [-] guan.However, in the Shenzong Dynasty, it was believed that "the estimation of the tribute would be harmful to the body", so it was stipulated that "the king's tribute will be rewarded without estimation, and ten thousand pieces of silk will always be the fixed number."For this reason, Su Dongpo also wrote several times to strongly oppose it, but it was of no use. Emperor Huizong's own father still went his own way.

It is said that the son inherited his father's business, not to mention other aspects, Huizong still inherited his father's mantle in this respect.

It's just that even he, who is used to big hands and feet, is a little worried that the Koryo lion will open his mouth, which shows that this tribute worth hundreds of thousands is really hot.

Zhao Ji wanted to ask for clarification right away, but as a great country in the Central Plains that succeeded the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Song State had a complete and complicated set of etiquette for receiving tribute envoys from various countries.However, people will always be flexible. The impatient Emperor Daojun held a banquet in the palace in his own name, and at the same time announced that the Korean envoy Jin Fushi would accompany the banquet.

Because it was not considered a formal occasion, the atmosphere was not as formal. After the singing and dancing, the Emperor Daojun asked casually: "In the past, Koryo sent Li Shilang as an envoy to our court. I wonder how he is doing now?"

Of course Jin Fushi knew who the Emperor Song was asking, and it was Li Ziliang, the younger brother of the prisoner Li Ziqian.This person was an official in Koryo to the minister of the Ministry of punishment.But he has repeatedly served as an envoy to the Song State.It has to be said that Li Ziqian is supporting him behind the scenes, so as to monopolize the diplomacy with Song Dynasty.

"Li Ziliang and his rebel minister Li Ziqian conspired to rebel a few days ago. Thanks to the heavenly lord Hong Fu, the rebel army has been uprooted by our lord. The culprit Li Ziqian and Li Ziliang brothers have been killed at the intersection of the street!" It is pretended, but the other half is sincere.

The world is completely insane.A giant bandit in the territory of the Song Dynasty.It is actually strong enough to annex Korea, which has been established for 200 years.Jin Fushi felt that he was also crazy. He actually tried his best to grab this job as an envoy to the Song Dynasty, so as to help the country-destroyer to realize his big lie.

But he had to.

Because if he doesn't do it, 1 people will rush to do it immediately.Because if he doesn't do it, he will spend the rest of his life in the countryside and fields.Although it will not die, it is more tormented than death.

After all, he is a person who knows current affairs, so he has the false name of Minister of Rites of the Goryeo Kingdom.He knew that this title would be invalid when he returned to the land of the peninsula, but.The tens of thousands of Koreans who stayed on the peninsula did not even get this false name.Li Ziqian and Han Anren have been brilliant for half a lifetime, but they have all retired from the stage of history at this time.If he, Jin Fushi, does not come forward at this time, among the most powerful people who will rule the peninsula in the future, there will be no one who is really willing to speak for the Koreans.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that everything was worth it.When he was fooling the faint king in front of him who was not much more wise than Wang Yu.There is a kind of masochistic pleasure.

"Huh? There is such a thing? Last year, I announced Li Shilang's audience. He also asked me for a boat in person!" Zhao Ji obviously didn't expect his "old acquaintance" Li Ziliang to die. They have only met a few times, but this person is good at flattery, and he is still very temperamental to Zhao Ji.

Jin Fushi is by no means a pedantic person, since he made up his mind to become the spokesperson of the common people in Gaoli, he still acted very hard.At the moment, when he narrated the scene of treason that had never existed before, Zhao Ji repeatedly said it was a pity. In his opinion, Li Ziliang was implicated by his elder brother Li Ziqian, such a sensible person.He used to have a poem with himself. Although he is not very good, he is full of sincerity. How did he become a traitor?

Zhao Ji is an emotional person, so he said condescendingly: "Does Wang Yu really have evidence to prove that Li Ziliang participated in the rebellion of the Li family in Renzhou?"

Jin Fushi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately said: "At that time, the military disaster swept the whole country, and the ruler of our country mainly focused on putting down the rebellion quickly. Maybe Li Shilang really has a grievance, and the minister will definitely bring back the emperor's will to our country. With my lord's devotion to the Son of Heaven, it shouldn't be difficult to give Li Shilang a fair response."

Zhao Ji had always said something casually, but he regretted it after he finished speaking.After all, everyone is dead, so why fight?Besides, he and Li Ziliang only had a few friendships, so it was not worthwhile to alienate a fan country who wanted to take refuge in him.It is said that he was regretting, and when he heard Jin Fushi's words, not only did all his worries disappear, but his vanity suddenly swelled up.You must know this kind of satisfaction, but no one in the country can give him.After all, he is in charge of the jobs of tens of millions of people, but he can't control Goryeo.If someone doesn't treat you well, but obeys you, it is entirely due to the heavenly power of his Taoist emperor.

"Good, good, good! Reward..." Zhao Ji said three "good" words in succession, obviously very happy, and subconsciously prepared to give a reward, but when he remembered that the other party's intentions were a little unclear, he was a little confused, and spoke abruptly I took it back, and changed it in a hurry: "Shang...Shang... Well, this is the reason why the commercial roads are blocked? The Secretary of Shibo wrote many memorials to me a few years ago, saying that every time our ships arrived in the sea off Korea, they were repeatedly intercepted. Returning in vain, so that the number of merchant ships going to Goryeo has dropped sharply. I heard that the two countries have not communicated for more than a year... I said at the time that Wang Aiqing was not from Qin Muchu. prepared?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding of our lord's difficulties, and I thank the emperor Long En on my lord's behalf!" Jin Fushi knelt after leaving the table, and he felt very comfortable with the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty. The Lord also attaches great importance to it, if the merchants from the Shang Kingdom are willing to go to our country for trade, the minister is willing to go with all the merchants when Mingzhou returns to the country!"

"Pingshen, Aiqing, Pingshen!" Zhao Ji laughed loudly. It was the first time in many years that he met such a sensible Fan Guo envoy, and immediately asked him to throw Li Ziliang to Java. Now this kind Jin Fushi, The status in his heart is not so high.

"Aiqing, your lord sent a mission here this time, besides asking for canonization as the son, what other requirements do you have?" Master Li is not at ease there.

Zhao Ji opened Jinkou, and Jin Fushi was not pretentious, and bowed down again: "My country's lord specifically confessed that Song is the country of the emperor, and Koryo is a vassal of the Holy Dynasty. But Koryo is small and weak, and the people's wisdom is not developed. My lord ordered My servants pay homage to you, I implore the emperor of the upper kingdom to be merciful, if you can send a hundred students from Tokyo Taixue to cross the sea to save the people and enlighten the wisdom of the people, the monarch and ministers of the lower kingdom will be grateful!"

Jin Fushi knelt down for a long time, but did not get a response from Zhao Ji. He couldn't help wondering if this request violated some taboo.Just as he waited anxiously, he finally waited for the three words of the sage to speak in vernacular:

"That's all?" (To be continued~^~)
