"What is going on with the Li Yue Kingdom?" Gao Lingchen keenly realized that there must be something fishy in this, and it might be related to the Goryeo Kingdom.
"I don't know the details. I only know that the three of them started fighting."
The attendant timidly replied.
He just went to watch the fun, eagerly came to report the news, and wanted to make the blogger smile and get a compliment, but he was questioned about the whole story!
I don’t know where to go!
Jin Jin glanced at Gao Lingchen in confusion, feeling a little unhappy.
If you can't take care of the affairs of your own country, Koryo, why are you meddling in the affairs of Li Yue, a country thousands of miles away in the South China Sea?
Li Zixuan closed his eyes and seemed to have thought of something, but he lowered his head and made no sound.
"I don't know the whole story, so go and find out. Find people who know the truth, people from the administrative and newspaper offices. You've been coming to Kaifeng City for so long, don't you think you've made a lot of friends!"
Gao Lingchen continued to chase, so his entourage had no choice but to bite the bullet and ran out to inquire.
"High Envoy, now that the officials of the Song Dynasty have returned to Beijing, we should think carefully about how to respond to you. The safety of Goryeo depends on you and me."
Jin Jin couldn't help but persuade.
Gao Lingchen glanced at Jin Jin and said quietly: "Scholar Jin, Li Yue is a vassal state of the Song Dynasty just like our Goryeo, but one is in the south and the other is in the north. Now that Li Yue has become like this, regardless of the reason, isn't it afraid of our Goryeo? Are you going to follow in his footsteps?"
Jin Jin was shocked and felt that it was reasonable, but his mind couldn't turn around for the moment.
Following in the footsteps of Li Yue? Jin Jin figured out what Gao Lingchen meant. He was worried that the methods used by the Song Dynasty on Li Yue would be used on Goryeo.
Gao Lingchen turned to Li Zixuan: "Deputy Ambassador Li, you have very close contacts with the monks and Taoists of the Song Dynasty. These monks and Taoists are called Fangwai people. In fact, they have extensive contacts and are the best informed. Have you heard about the situation in Li Yueguo?"
Li Zixuan thought for a while and replied: "I have talked about Li Yueguo's affairs. But at that time it was just gossip, just a few words."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I would like to ask Vice Envoy Li to come and listen."
Gao Lingchen said quickly.
At this time, transportation was inconvenient, information was blocked, and the Goryeo Kingdom had already learned from the Song Dynasty in all aspects, emphasizing Confucianism over miscellany, and selecting scholars based on poetry, classics and meanings. The domestic scholars and Confucian scholars only knew that there were Dongbo in the east and Liao and Song in the west. The rest were If you don’t take the exam, why study it?
Gao Lingchen knew that there was Li Yue in the South China Sea, and he was already one of the very few capable ministers and officials who had a broad view of the world.
Faced with his inquiry, Li Zixuan thought for a while and replied.
"I heard that the current leader of the Kingdom of Li Yue was a man of great talent and strategy. During the Xining and Yuanfeng years of the Song Dynasty, he mobilized his troops to go north and attacked Qin, Lian and other states of the Song Dynasty, killing and plundering more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty."
Li Zixuan paused and continued: "Li Yueguo's recruitment of troops this time caused the Song State to focus on one thing and the other, which caused the war in the northwest and Xixia to be unfavorable. Everyone said privately that he must keep the temper of the official and Li Yueguo's hatred in his heart."
The more Gao Lingchen listened, the more frightened he became. During the Xining and Yuanfeng years, wasn't it the time when the official's father, the late Emperor of the Temple, was in power? What caused the war in Xixia to be unfavorable? This matter is not a trivial matter!
I heard that the late emperor of the Song Dynasty suffered from depression and became ill, and finally died in depression. The main reasons were firstly the failure of the reform and secondly the unfavorable war in Xixia.
In this way, the officials of the Song Dynasty punished Li Yueguo to avenge their father, which is only natural and right.
However, the reason why Korea was dealt with this time was because they took advantage of the Song-Liao war to fish in troubled waters. This shows that the officials of the Song Dynasty were not kind people.
Violence must be repaid!
There are many people in the world who are determined to retaliate, but the official family of the Song Dynasty has the most powerful army and the richest country in the world. Who can bear revenge!
Jin Jin also thought of this. But he had other thoughts in his mind. He was talking about it just now, but now he is silent.
In the afternoon, the attendant finally came back after hearing the news.
"I have learned that the current leader of the Li Yue Kingdom ordered the seizure of the merchant ships of the Song Dynasty two years ago, which angered the Song Dynasty. At that time, the South China Sea Economic and Strategy Department of the Song Dynasty mobilized nearly a hundred warships, blocked the coast of the Li Yue Kingdom, and destroyed several areas.
port, and also encouraged and supported the Champa Kingdom in the south to go north to fight."
"Li Yue couldn't resist, so the leader of the country sent an envoy to the court to plead guilty. At that time, the Song Dynasty wanted to expedition to the north of Ping Liao, so he accepted the plea and the two countries returned to normal. I thought they were in peace..."
When the entourage found out the news, he hurried back and reported the news to Gao Lingchen. He was breathless and told another story, which made him roll his eyes.
Jin Jin couldn't bear it and handed over a glass of water. The entourage didn't dare to take it at first, but when he saw Gao Lingchen nodded, he took it. Gulu drank it all in one go and took the opportunity to take a breath.
"The leader of Li Yue Kingdom is now fifty years old, but he has never had any heirs. Seeing that he is getting old, the ministers below him began to lose control and were about to make a move. Civil, military and local governments all supported the leader's two younger brothers, Zunyihou and Chongxian.
Hou.”
"The two princes each gathered a group of people, with equal power, and they fought with each other endlessly. At first, the leader of the Kingdom of Li Yue wanted to watch the tiger fight, but soon found that he could not suppress it, so he took cruel measures. He held a banquet in honor of the two princes.
However, he poisoned his food. Marquis Zunyi died, but Marquis Chongxian luckily escaped with his life and escaped from the capital of Li Yue overnight..."
The more they listened to Gao Lingchen, Jin Jin, and Li Zixuan, the more they felt like they were storytellers at the Goulan Tea House in Tokyo. So how much of the stories coming out of his mouth were true and how false?
The entourage entered the state, thinking that he had suddenly become a popular storyteller in Tokyo. The three high-ranking officials sitting opposite him all stared at him with admiration.
"Surrounded by loyal tribesmen, Marquis Chongxian proclaimed himself king in Hua Prefecture, Qing Dynasty, and was called Lower Li Yue. The Li Yue Kingdom in Shenglong Prefecture was called Upper Li Yue Kingdom. The son-in-law of Marquis Zunyi was also the son of the princess's sister.
Chen Jinfo, the commander-in-chief of the southwest, took over the power of Marquis Zunyi and proclaimed himself king in Guihua Prefecture. It was called the Western Li Yue Kingdom, or the Chen Yue Kingdom. Then the three kings of the Li Yue Kingdom fought in a melee..."
Gao Lingchen asked in a deep voice: "Who does the Song Dynasty support?"
The attendant was stunned. What I said was wonderful. Your sudden words made my thoughts very confusing! If you were in Goulan Teahouse, I would ask the waiter to kick you out on the spot!
When he came back to his senses and took a closer look, he saw that it was his master. He quickly put on a respectful expression and pretended to think about it carefully.
"I didn't say which side I supported. I heard from a newspaper friend that people from the Lifan tribe said that as the sovereign state of the Song Dynasty, it was not good for them to interfere in the internal affairs of vassal states. When Li Yue and Chen Yueguo saw this, they quickly dispatched
The envoys came to the court to pursue great righteousness. The upper Li Yue Kingdom did not take it seriously at first. Later, when they saw that the lower Li Yue and Chen Yue were fighting more and more fiercely, they knew something was wrong, so they quickly sent envoys to fight for the righteousness of Shuo. "
The more Gao Lingchen listened, the more he felt chilled all over. He huddled his hands in his sleeves and held them tightly together, trembling slightly, and his palms were covered with cold sweat.
What a cruel strategy! When Marquis Zunyi and Marquis Chongxian came out to fight for the throne, they must have been instigated by someone with intentions! But the leader of Li Yue dealt a cruel blow, and the two marquises died and escaped. The dead Marquis Zunyi actually had someone to take over his banner, and
The local forces with great strength then entered into a melee among the three parties.
If there was no evil hand from the Song State, Gao Lingchen would immediately change his name to Low Lingchen!
After waving his hand to chase away his entourage, Gao Lingchen spoke hoarsely and tremblingly to Jin Jin and Li Zixuan: "What would happen if the Song Dynasty did the same thing to our country, Korea?"
Jin Jin said calmly: "The Kingdom of Goryeo is different from the Kingdom of Li Yue. We have raised scholars with Confucianism for many years. The common people's scholars know etiquette, justice, integrity and shame, and understand the three cardinal principles and five constant principles. They are completely different from the Kingdom of Li Yue who just escaped from Vietnam."
But I was thinking in my heart that the plan to return to the Song Dynasty that I had made earlier should be realized as soon as possible. After contacting each other in the past two months, I and my son's reputation can still be put to use. At least I can find a job as a university professor.
If you calm down, educate the third generation well, and comply with destiny, there will naturally be a time for the Jin family to achieve greater glory.
Li Zixuan stroked his beard and murmured: "I am a Taoist priest outside the country. I don't understand these common things. I really don't understand."
Gao Lingchen's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at the window. The sun was shining brightly outside, and he could faintly hear the voices of people coming from the street. But Gao Lingchen felt a biting cold.
