Previously, Jin Mingde had casually asked the interpreter to go and question him, but Cui Junwen already felt that something was wrong.
Goryeo was a close neighbor of Dajin in the northeast. It had a lot of contacts with Dajin and had always had channels to understand the situation in the Central Plains. They had long believed that the strength of Dajin lay in the strength of the Jurchens, just as the strength of the Liao Dynasty originated from the strength of the Jurchens.
The Khitan people had thousands of troops. As for the Han people, they were ruled by the Khitan people and the Jurchens successively. Their military force should be very weak, roughly equivalent to that of the Song Dynasty in the remote south today.
Therefore, if the government of Dajin is controlled by a Han, it will show that the Jurchens are weak and the power of Dajin will disappear.
This understanding is purely taken for granted, but it is difficult to correct.
The Koryo Kingdom had previously heard from the Khitan people that there were a group of ruthless characters in the Han Dynasty, but those subordinates of Yelu Sibu were vague about their own failure experiences, so the Koryo Kingdom did not understand what the situation in Dajin was.
It wasn't until Cui Junwen saw Li Yun shouting and driving many tribal leaders that he suddenly understood.
The savages from the northeastern hinterland are the most savage. They only know that the stronger will win and will not surrender easily to others. In the past two years, Goryeo has tried hard to contact them, but no one has been so respectful to Goryeo!
The regime that could make these tribes so obedient must have demonstrated great power. How could it be weak? Perhaps, although the Kingdom of Jin was weak, the Marshal's Mansion that controlled the Jin Dynasty was actually very powerful. Li Yun just said this
, Marshal Guo led hundreds of thousands of troops, this is not a boast! The reason why those Khitans crossed the Yalu River was basically the result of being expelled by the Marshal's Mansion in the capital of the Jin Dynasty! Lan
This Marshal Guo Ning is probably another Prime Minister Cui! Even, ahem, Prime Minister Cui is not on the battlefield after all. This Guo Ning may be a little bit more powerful than Prime Minister Cui!
Such a strong neighbor must be treated with courtesy and respect. How can there be any reason to turn him into a strong enemy?
When Cui Junwen thought of this, he felt that he had better proceed with caution. When he was summoned by Li Yun, he subconsciously stood far away from Jin Mingde.
Even so, he did not expect that the Hengci envoy from the Kingdom of Jin would order the murder on the spot.
The envoys of the Jin Dynasty and Korea have been going back and forth for hundreds of years, and there have been times when the swords were at war. The envoys of the Jin Dynasty relied on their country and showed their authority in front of the Koreans many times. But the envoys of the Jin Dynasty killed one at the first order.
Goryeo Lieutenant General, this kind of thing has never happened before.
Cui Junwen felt that he should be angrily scolded a few times, but he was afraid of the ferocity of the big gold messenger, but he really didn't dare. He was about to kneel on the ground, praising the big gold messenger for being right, but he immediately thought of Cui Xiang
The power and the means of life and death are equally daring.
So, in front of everyone, the general of the Korean Dragon Army stood there as if he was stupid, and did not move. The Korean cavalry who were hundreds of steps away looked at him and shouted for a while.
Quiet again.Lan
"Pull him over." Li Yundao said.
Several chiefs excitedly dragged Cui Junwen to Li Yun.
"Your Prime Minister Cui sent his light cavalry across the border and went a hundred miles deep to greet me, just to intimidate me. However, the status of our two countries has been determined for a long time, and there is no reason to abandon the banner and hold the banner. Since there are people demonstrating, I thought I should come.
Someone is responsible for the mediation. The person responsible for the demonstration is dead. The person responsible for the demonstration...is it you?"
Can you still say it’s not?
Cui Junwen smiled bitterly and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay. General Cui, listen carefully. You must listen to our principles. It is the same everywhere. There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. If you understand this, then we can talk about some serious matters. How?
Like?" Li Yun laughed.
The lieutenant who just killed me is looking disgusting in his smile. Cui Junwen complained in his heart, not daring to respond, let alone question the "reason" at all.
He hesitated and asked: "...what's the business?"
"I am going to your country on the orders of Marshal Du, and I have a few things with me. This one is the same. General Cui, please take a look."
Li Yun dug into the gift package behind him a few times, took out a document, and threw it into Cui Junwen's arms.
Cui Junwen is a descendant of the Goryeo clan. Although he is a military official, he is actually familiar with the court rituals and can even speak fluent Chinese. He and Li Yun exchanged answers without even needing an interpreter. Now he took a closer look and knew that this was not an ordinary person.
It is a document, but an edict from the Emperor of Jin Dynasty.
"this……"
Cui Junwen hesitated for a moment.
Li Yun said in a deep voice: "Open it and take a look!"
"Yes Yes."
Cui Junwen quickly opened the edict, but because his hands were shaking, it took a while to dismantle the silk.
Only a few lines of text were written in the edict: "I dedicate Cui Zhongzhong to recognize Shang Xianwei, the body is pure and stable, the faith is in good neighborliness, the filial piety is in great things. I lead the land of three Koreas and serve Zhou Zheng every time; I always travel thousands of miles.
Chen Yugong. The honorary title has been revealed, but the rank has not yet been respected. It is appropriate to favor Xi and Tonggui, so that he can be granted the title of Taoye. Now the Cui family has the right to know the King of Goryeo, and the official ceremony is the same as the three divisions. The Wang family is the assistant as before. Envoys are sent there.
, prepare a gift book and order, and issue a consolation edict, I think it would be better to know."
This is the canonization of Prime Minister Cui by Emperor Dajin!
This was the Emperor of Jin who jumped over the King of Goryeo and conferred the title of Prime Minister Choi!
Compared with the titles in this edict, what are the many official positions that Cui Xiang has now? Even if he reaches the extreme of being a human minister, he is still a human minister, and the person who holds the king hostage is still not a king. But if he gets this canonization, Cui Xiang is not a human being.
Your Majesty, he is the leader of the Three Koreas on par with the Wang family! The goal that the old man has been striving for for half his life has almost been achieved!
The veins on Cui Junwen's forehead were jumping wildly. If this edict was taken to the capital now, it would immediately stir up a turmoil in Goryeo's political situation... After all, Prime Minister Cui's arrangements have not been perfected, and the power to support the king has not been completely purged.
Lan
But in the final analysis, is this edict beneficial to Prime Minister Cui? It is extremely beneficial! This is a trump card that can change the world at a critical moment!
Why did the Dajin court love Prime Minister Cui so much?
"This this……"
Cui Junwen didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth and his throat seemed to be dry.
Li Yun suddenly stood up, took back the edict, took out the dagger from his waist, and casually slashed it into pieces.
Cui Junwen felt that his heart couldn't bear it, so he yelled "Ah" and lay on the ground and groped around. It wasn't until his hands were muddy and he could only hold a few fragments that he calmed down and looked up at Li Yun again.
Li Yundao: "Just now, this idiot surnamed Jin dared to challenge me and said that he didn't believe in the principles of our Marshal's Palace. So this edict is gone." Lan
Then Jin Mingde was just a man of humble origin, what was he worth? The value of this edict was more important than a hundred or a thousand Jin Mingde’s heads!
Envoy from the Kingdom of Heaven, you are also a person of status. Isn’t it a bit rash to act like a gangster? Is there something that we can’t talk about? You might as well not bring it up. Now let me see it.
If the edict is cut into pieces with a knife, how can I explain it to Prime Minister Cui later?
Cui Junwen was about to cry but had no tears, his vision turned black, his legs became weak and he fell to the ground.
"but……"
Li Yun prolonged his voice.
Cui Junwen raised his head abruptly: "The envoy from the Kingdom of Heaven, what is he? Huh?"
"As I said just now, the political power of Dajin is now entirely under the control of my Marshal Du. This kind of edict can be issued at any time as long as my Marshal wants to, and it is at his fingertips."
Li Yun leaned down and emphasized his tone: "As long as you obey the instructions of the Marshal's Office, we can discuss more than just this kind of edict. Whatever your Prime Minister Cui wants, we can discuss it."
"Really?" Cui Junwen grinned.
When he was in a state of confusion, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he understood another truth.
Just as Prime Minister Cui is a powerful minister, isn't Guo Ning, the marshal of the Kingdom of Jin, also a powerful minister? His willingness to canonize Prime Minister Cui was actually to test the rumors of the Jin court for himself! In other words, Prime Minister Cui's future is as good as
Regarding Marshal Guo's future, it is quite possible that these two families can help each other and support each other!
He jumped up and said: "Envoy from the Kingdom of China, what does your marshal want? I will fly back immediately and report to my prime minister!"
"There are two things that require your agreement."
"Please speak." Lan
"First, the Khitan people are crossing the border to cause chaos, which is not what I, Dajin, want. We will send people to deal with it as soon as possible. But whether it is suppressing or pacifying has nothing to do with Goryeo, you can't interfere. Secondly, now Dajin is opening the capital with Goryeo
The sea routes between them are stable, and the land routes have been opened. Goryeo should resume its march to Daijin, and the two families should still be related as sects and vassals. Ahem..."
Li Yun lowered his voice: "There is also a third thing, which is a little private matter of mine."
Cui Junwen hurriedly came up and asked diligently: "What's the matter? Just tell me."
"I have some small business at sea. However, recently because I offended someone from the Song Dynasty, my entry and exit from Mingzhou Port has been quite hindered by the Shipping Department. If you can lend me a batch of official documents and blanks of Korean merchants,
, and I would be very grateful if some Korean interpreters, sailors, and flags could be provided to facilitate passage."
The so-called "public certificate" is the identity certificate issued by the government to merchants to verify people, ships, objects, and goods. Since the maritime trade of the Song Dynasty flourished for hundreds of years, the specifications of this kind of public certificate were common in all maritime countries.
Unified, each country has a fixed yamen responsible for issuance. The so-called "introduction" is the specific shipment list of goods.
Issuing and issuing official documents is an important financial source for Yousi, and it is also the financial support for Cui Xiangguang to recruit three thousand customers. If Cui Xiangguang is asked to hand over a large number of official documents for ordinary reasons, it is no different from robbery, even if a knife is held at the neck
There is absolutely no reason why it should be allowed. But the current situation...
Marshal Guo of Daijin has such strength, such ferocity, and the willingness to cooperate with Cui Xiang. What a wonderful thing it would be if the two families could form an alliance to deal with the Khitans and form a tacit understanding of powerful ministers working together? For this reason,
What does a batch of public records count for?
Cui Junwen nodded repeatedly: "The other two matters, although they are related to each other, still need to be discussed in detail. But official certificates, introductions, interpreters, sailors, flags, etc., are all trivial matters. My Prime Minister has a magnificent bearing.
There is no reason not to allow it!”
"Good! Very good!"
Li Yun burst out laughing, and Cui Junwen also laughed in apology.
The brave General Kim Myung-deok, with blood dripping from his neck and his face cut in half, was standing high on the top of the pole, looking down indifferently.
