Wang Maru held the document and looked at the peace terms proposed by the Song Dynasty. His hands were trembling, and the veins on his temples were beating, as if they would explode in the next moment.
Ren Yi and Wu Yanchong stood in the middle of Shouchang Hall, holding their hands, neither happy nor sad. They had already figured it out.
After negotiating for peace, he will either die or go to an island to drink kelp soup. In this case, he will insist on completing the last thing for the country and the people, fulfill his wish, and go on the road easily.
"Is this the peace treaty you negotiated?" Wang Ma asked through gritted teeth, with a vicious look in his eyes that made him want to eat Ren and Wu alive.
Wu Yanchong looked at the king who seemed to be a different person, with endless sadness in his heart. At that time, Duke Yin Wenjing took himself and Cui Hongzheng to the north on the king's order to expand the territory.
The king at that time was generous with food and clothing, and showed endless enthusiasm and favor. Especially after the great victory at Qingchuan River, all the relationships between the king and his ministers in the history books were not as good as those of the king at that time.
But at that time, how could I have thought of today's scene? The loyal and capable minister in the past may have become a vicious and treacherous minister in the eyes of the king.
"Yes. This is the peace treaty initialed by the ministers and the envoys of the Song Dynasty after four days of arduous negotiations." Ren Yi raised his head and looked at Wang Yan, who was about to become angry at the next moment. He felt uneasy and uneasy, and finally gritted his teeth.
He answered calmly.
"You dare to initial a peace treaty that is so humiliating and humiliating to the country, and you dare to take it back!" Wang Ma growled filial piety in a low voice, like a vicious wolf that wanted to bite people, making a threatening low sound.
The civil servants, who had been impatient for a long time, broke out like a pack of hunting dogs after hearing the master's instructions.
"To lose power and humiliate the country is to betray the king's kindness. Wu, as an important minister of the country, allowed two thieves to be appointed, but he cheated on the inside and outside, had liaison with foreign countries, betrayed the country and humiliated the king. This is not allowed by nature and the law of the country! I asked the king to immediately issue an order to remove him from office and imprison him for questioning.
Fix the blame!”
"Your Majesty! Wu, the two thieves, as the prime minister and deputy prime minister, did not want to repay the kindness of the king and serve the country and the people, but they were good at power and chaos. They started provocations and lost the country. I have read the history books well and found nothing like this.
Shameless thieves!" These civil servants were all righteous and rebuked the two major national thieves with righteous words.
At this moment, they transformed into messengers of justice, representing the people of Goryeo and conducting a righteous trial on the two traitors Ren Yi and Wu Yanchong.
They want to knock the two great national thieves Ren and Wu to the ground and nail them to the pillar of shame in history forever.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wu and Prime Minister Ren were entrusted with full authority to go to the enemy's country for negotiations. They must have been in danger and bullied. Under the hegemony, they signed this inconsistent and dishonest peace treaty." Li Ziqian pretended.
Di came out and said, on the surface it was to slightly excuse Wu Yanchong and Ren Yi, but in fact, Wu Yanchong understood the deeper meaning.
He looked at Li Ziqian and snorted. He and Cui Hongzheng were right. Goryeo's biggest external trouble was the Song Dynasty, and its biggest internal trouble was the head of the country.
The Song Dynasty wanted to destroy Goryeo, but the head of the state ignored it and only wanted to dominate the country. How sad! What he said just now was actually a sword in every sentence.
He slandered himself and Ren Yi for signing this alliance indiscriminately and humiliating the country. He also pointed out that he and Ren Yi had the full power of the king. No matter what they signed, the king would have to recognize it.
But does the king dare to admit it now? So Li Ziqian added a sentence in his words, reminding the king to find a way to get rid of it quickly and put the blame on himself and Ren Yi.
It's so vicious! But what's the juncture now? The army of the Song Dynasty is approaching, and if they disagree, they will sweep away the country and destroy it.
However, Li Ziqian and his followers, as well as Yu Luchong, Gao Lingchen, Cui Sixu and others, did not want to think about this and were only busy fighting for power and profit.
Perhaps in their eyes, as long as they were humble enough, the Song State would let them go; or perhaps they felt that the three thousand rivers and mountains of Goryeo had dangerous mountains and rivers, and even if the Song State devoted all its strength, it would be difficult to destroy them.
It's just that they didn't expect that after reading the history books, any country would first suffer internal strife and weaken its national power, and then foreign enemies would take advantage of the situation and destroy it.
Wu Yanchong raised his head, looked at Wang Ma with neither sadness nor joy, and said loudly: "I and Prime Minister Ren came out of Yuanyuan City and were sent to the mouth of the Yalu River. There they were put on a Song Dynasty ship and set sail.
Go south and reach Ganghwa Island. There are now tens of thousands of Song Dynasty land and sea divisions, hundreds of ships, and countless artillery guns. It is less than a hundred miles away from the capital and will be there in a blink of an eye." Wang Ma's face turned white and red.
"Are you threatening me?" Wu Yanchong did not answer, but continued: "Ganghwa Island is at the strategic point of Goryeo. If the Song army marches eastward, they can seize Hanyang City and the Han River to capture Yangguang Road and Jeolla Road.
Shang Qingdao and Kai Jing were separated. It was nothing more than another fight based on the Battle of Zhushui." There was silence in the Shouchang Palace. Wang Mara and the ministers imagined the scene in Wu Yanchong's words and broke out in a cold sweat.
Yes, as long as it works, we can repeat the same thing again. But can Koryo still be able to withstand a big defeat?
The Gyeonggi area north of the Han River, and parts of Yanggwang-do and Gyoju-do are the essence of Goryeo, which cannot be compared with Anbuk and Anbyon.
If there was a fight on the Han River, it would be like breaking the bones of the Goryeo Kingdom and it would be over.
"Wu Thief! Don't be alarmist!" Xu Zai stepped forward and scolded hysterically,
"Now our country, Goryeo, has ceased war with the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven and a country of benevolence and righteousness. How could it do something treacherous? You can't be here to scaremonger and bewitch the king." Wu Yanchong sneered a few times.
Our country, Korea, betrayed its trust first, but did not allow other countries to betray their trust. Why, just because they are a kingdom of heaven and a country of benevolence and righteousness?
Do you think you can coax people by giving them a few high hats?
"I am negotiating with the envoys of the Song Dynasty in Kaiyuan City to suspend the war for a month and negotiate a peace treaty. After one month, the peace agreement is uncertain, and the Song army will restart the war. Fourteen days have passed since the truce period." Wu Yanchong said calmly.
.
"Absurd! The two thieves Wu and Ren are so arrogant. They actually threatened the king with external threats and threatened the king to agree to the peace treaty that they signed fornication and humiliated the country. They are really arrogant and unethical! Without them, would there be no one in our country of Goryeo? Sir,
Please, Your Majesty, send envoys to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty." Cui Siyukang, who returned to the court first, said enthusiastically.
"The Song Dynasty governed the country with poetry, classics and books, and emphasized benevolence, righteousness and morality. As long as a few famous scholars with good articles and morals are sent to the Song Dynasty as envoys, and they can talk calmly and peacefully, they will definitely be able to negotiate peace. I recommend Jin Jinhe, a bachelor.
Jin Fushi and his son, they are both domestic celebrities and well-known throughout the world. Their literary reputation has long spread far and wide in the Song Dynasty. They are going on missions, and they will be able to get twice the result with half the effort." Wu Yanchong wished he could look up to the sky and sigh a few times, Cui Sisu, you, Yu Luchong, Gao Lingchen and others are here
I was so dizzy after eating kelp soup on the southern island that I even dug out the almanac from hundreds of years ago.
No wonder! These people are located on a remote island and have no information. They don't know that the outside world has completely changed.
These few well-educated Confucian scholars who were devoted to classics and righteousness were still immersed in their own ideas. However, the king listened to the slanderous words of the abbot Li Ziqian, recalled them back, and entrusted them with important military and state affairs.
These people's ideas and measures for governing the country were insignificant before. They were neither good nor bad.
However, during this millennium-long period of great change, it would probably be a huge disaster for the people of Goryeo.
Wu Yanchong glanced at Cui Sisu, who had his head raised and a righteous look on his face, as if he represented the righteous people in the world who despised him. Then he looked at the hesitant king and the cunning Li Ziqian. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Understanding Cui Hongzheng’s suicide.
It's better to die. It's over once and for all. You don't have to watch these depressing and sad scenes anymore. Thinking of this, Wu Yanchong took off his hard-winged official hat and put it on the ground. Then he made a big salute and said loudly: "I know I am guilty, please go to jail."
Punish the crime." Ren Yi understood what he meant, and was not interested. He took off his official hat and said together: "I also know that I am guilty, please go to jail and punish the crime."
"Extremely outrageous and rude!" In Wang Ma's eyes, the two men's actions seemed like threats to him.
"Come here, put the two thieves in jail! Issue an edict to worship Jin Jin and Jin Fushi." Wang Ma paused and added another name,
"Cui Sixu will be the chief envoy, and Jin Jin and Jin Fushi will be the deputy envoys. Let's go and negotiate peace!" This chapter has been completed!
