Chapter 101 Negotiations in accordance with the etiquette (1)
"Cui Libu, if we are in an urgent situation now, we might as well take a carriage, which will make the journey faster. Once we reach Zhou Port, we can quickly transfer to another ship and negotiate urgently with the Song Dynasty," Jin Jin advised.
After leaving the capital, Cui Sisu insisted on taking a sedan chair to Zhenzhou, which made Jin Jin and Jin Fuzhe, father and son, very anxious.
What Wu Yanchong said in the Shouchang Palace, the Goryeo kings and ministers said it nonsense, but they knew in their hearts that it was the truth. The Song Dynasty said it would give a one-month truce period, but it really was only one month. Once the time passed, I would beat you if I wanted to.
So Jin Jin came to persuade him.
"Mr. Jin, do you know what our status is now?" Cui Sisu asked with great dissatisfaction, "You are the chief and deputy envoy of Korea, representing Korea and negotiating with Song. What is the most important thing between the two countries?
It's etiquette. If you're rude, you have no dignity. If you don't have dignity, you have no rules. What's the point of talking about it without rules? Even if you talk about it, it's still a treaty that loses power and humiliates the country."
Cui Sisu's serious words left Jin Jin speechless. Is it useful to talk about truth at this time? The dignity of etiquette and dignity is now in ruins in Goryeo. What kind of dignity is left? As I said, dignity is given by others, and you should take yourself seriously.
Can others take you seriously?
Jin Jin has been serving in Kaijing and has not fought with the court, but he has always been concerned about the changes in the Song Dynasty - he admires Song culture very much and is a die-hard fan of Su Shi.
It can be seen from the gifts he gave to his two sons that Jin Shi and Jin Fuzhe corresponded exactly to the two brothers Su Shi and Su Che, and they placed his hope that his son could absorb the immortal energy of the two.
Therefore, Jin Jin was very clear about the changes in the Song Dynasty. He knew that at this time, the Song Dynasty had completely changed its character, turning from being extravagant and extravagant to being pragmatic and fierce.
In fact, Jin Jin could appreciate Wu Yanchong's painstaking efforts - didn't their main war faction adhere to the will of the late king, the king, and go north to expand the territory. Regardless of their origins, if they were defeated, they would be pushed out as scapegoats.
It is said that the peace treaty between Yan Chong and Ren Yi was a loss of power and an insult to the country, but it is the same thing for anyone to negotiate, and it may be even worse - the main battle group defeated the Nine Cities with one blow and one shot, and they were the ones who suffered casualties in the Battle of Xishui.
of comrades.
They have personal pain and know how to cherish it.
At this time, Jin Jin felt the sorrow of Wu Yanchong, Ren Yi, Cui Hongzheng and others, "I originally wanted to look towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch"!
Jin Jin still had some sense of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, so he continued to persuade him.
"Cui Libu, the armistice period given by Song State only has seven days left. The earlier we go to negotiate with Song State, the sooner we can have peace.
Cui Sisu said disdainfully: "Mr. Jin also believed Wu Thief's outrageous words in the palace? Those were his words to intimidate the king and the group. Don't ignore them!"
After that, he lowered the sedan curtain, stamped the bottom of the sedan, and shouted: "Let's go!"
The sedan chairmen did not dare to be careless, so they lifted up the eight-person sedan and walked slowly along the avenue in an even and steady manner.
"Father, why is Cui Bu so stubborn?" Jin Fushi couldn't help but ask.
"Da Lang, if you drink kelp soup on the southern island for several years, and one day return to the court and hold the power, you will be even more willful than him."
"Father, if we go to negotiate peace this time, with Cui Libu's attitude, I'm afraid it will come back in vain."
"I don't care if he doesn't come back. What I'm worried about is that the last chance of the Goryeo Kingdom has passed away due to his ridiculous mistakes."
Jin Shi touched his chin and thought for a while, "Father, if you take care of Cui Li, you will annoy the people of Song Dynasty and make the situation difficult to control."
"Prime Minister Cui (Cui Hongzheng) committed suicide in Anzhou to redeem himself with death! Prime Minister Wu also wanted to die. I heard that during the peace talks in Kaiyuan City, he knelt down to the envoy of Song Dynasty, confessing his sin and admitting that he was the leader of the war between the two countries without permission.
I am willing to die and beg the Song Dynasty for forgiveness, and beg the Song army to be merciful to Goryeo... The truly loyal and patriots will be in prison; the power-minded and selfish ones will be in the temples."
Jin Jin sighed again, and his son said: "Let's go, follow."
It took two days - Cui Sisu traveled according to the etiquette of the imperial envoy angel. There were fifty white men in front of him, carrying various flags: all of Cui Sisu's official status, as well as the rank of Jinshi in the examination. Then came the military attachés.
The escort was escorted by a guard, riding a tall horse.
The main force of Goryeo's troops and horses has been lost, and now the shortage of horses is very serious. Ying Yang, Long and Tiger cannot gather the imperial cavalry.) Cui Sisu still wants to do something (this chapter is not finished!)

Fa gave Abban a collection of forty good horses.
Then two prison guard sergeants acted as guards, shouting in front and supporting behind, and marched southward in a mighty manner.
The imperial envoy Gundan traveled fifty miles ahead. As soon as he left the capital, Gundan had already arrived at Zhenzhou Port. The post stations along the way were cleaned and tidied up. Local officials from various states and counties went to each post station to wait according to the rules.
When Cui Sisu arrived at every inn, he would stop, wash up, put on official uniform, and sit in the inn hall. The local officials handed over their notebooks and were called in according to their official positions.
The magistrate first saluted and then respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, please greet me!"
Cui Sixu replied: "Your Majesty, Ankang!"
Then the guard on the side shouted: "Bi!"
The local official saluted again, respectfully said goodbye and left.
After all this trouble, can the trip be made faster?
Fortunately, the road was only fifty miles, with only three stations in the middle, and only four or five local officials came to see the angel. Otherwise, it would not have been two days, but twenty days.
As soon as they arrived at Zhenju Port, Cui Sisu asked the local government to prepare, and the three peace negotiators went to Ganghwa Island to negotiate with the Song army.
"So that Cui Libu will know that the ships in Zhenzhou Port have been beaten to pieces by the Song Army with artillery fire, and there are no ships left." Zhenzhou Zhizhou replied with a bitter face.
"Where's the Gyeonggi Navy?"
"The Gyeonggi Navy has been gone a few years ago. Pirates were causing trouble and they were burned to death. The dozens of ships of the Gyeonggi Navy were burned to death long ago."
"Not a single ship left?"
"There are still a few fishing boats." Zhizhou pointed to the distance)
Cui Si saw those broken boats. He didn't know if they would sink after they were rolled out of the harbor. Besides, the boats were broken and small, which was completely inconsistent with his imperial envoy temperament.
He immediately darkened his face and said, "Zhizhou Zhenzhou, are you trying to stall the king's life?"
Zhenzhou Zhizhou said, "The lower officials dare not, but there are only a few ships. Even if the upper officials kill the lower officials, they will not be able to change the ships."
"Cui Li, why not send someone with your letter to Ganghwa Island and ask the Song army to send two large ships?" Jin Jin stopped arguing here and made a suggestion.
"Okay!" Cui Sisu responded immediately, immediately wrote a letter, stamped his customs seal, and handed it to a security guard, asking him to take a fishing boat to Jianghua Island, where the Song Army quickly sent four official ships to come
Pick up the Goryeo envoy at Jeongju Port.
Watching the fishing boat carrying his confidant escort gradually go away in the waves. Cui Sisu turned to Jin Jinshou and said: "Mr. Jin is really well-read and well-informed, and he came up with good ideas all at once. I don't have a boat.
, the Song State has a large ship. When negotiating between the two countries, etiquette is the most important thing. I believe that the Song State, a country of etiquette, will never be rude in any way."
After saying a few polite words, Cui Sisu turned to Zhenzhou Zhizhou, his expression suddenly changed.
"Zhenzhou, you almost missed the king's order, I know! You are a vulgar person. I am too lazy to argue with you. Go and sort out the government office. I and the two deputy envoys are waiting for Song's ship. If
If you miss something again, I will definitely give you a copy and let you go to Geoje County to drink seaweed soup!"
After saying that, Cui Sisu flicked his sleeves and left first.
