Li Mingshu was whipped thirty times by Jia Cong yesterday. His face was pale and he was standing in the queue of the envoys of the feudal state, crumbling.
He went to court with injuries, and his original purpose was to complain and seek sympathy in front of the civil and military officials of the court, but he did not expect that today's court would be like this.
With the impeachment of Jia Zheng and others, the civil and military officials of both the DPRK and the Chinese government came out to impeach Gao Tongshun. Even the people from the Ministry of Rites also sided with Jia Zheng.
From the Minister of Rites to the heads of various departments, all those who are qualified to go to court are thinking that it would be better to dismiss this kind of waste that brings shame to the Ministry of Rites!
Thinking about me in the Ministry of Rites, I am a sixth-rank official who is on an envoy to the feudal kingdom. I am also an angel from the kingdom. How have I ever knelt down to the prince of the feudal king?
Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, envoys from the Ministry of Rites have decisively dethroned several vassal kings. Whenever angels from heaven come, and the king personally greets them and banquets in the palace, which vassal country is not trembling with fear?
Gao Tongshun is a shame to the Ministry of Rites!
Liu Heng, who was sitting high on the throne, suddenly stood up and snorted coldly: "Gao Tongshun has resigned from office to serve the people. Li Mingshu has transgressed. It is not easy for him to recite his tribute. He is banned from visiting the hall. The person in charge of the Ministry of Rites teaches him the Daxia Code and the etiquette of the country."
Gao Tongshun immediately collapsed to the ground and allowed the Han general to drag him out. Originally, many people wanted to plead for Gao Tongshun, but when they saw the livid emperor, they all closed their mouths.
Not to mention Li Mingshu, who now clearly saw the situation in the hall, had no choice but to kneel down and accept the order, not daring to say any unnecessary words.
"Cui Sitong, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry's Cleaning Department, Yang Lin, a member of the Tuntian Cleaning Department in the Ministry of Industry, and Jia Zheng, a member of the Qingli Department in the Ministry of Works, who refused to surrender in the face of danger to protect the majesty of the country and the dynasty, were each given a set of four treasures in the study and five kinds of fresh fruits. ..."
"Although Jia Cong of the Rongguo Mansion has done something to protect the country's prestige, he is not an official and is good at judicial affairs. The ten can be used as a punishment."
Liu Heng's majestic gaze fell on Li Mingshu and asked coldly: "Li Mingshu, is my decision reasonable?"
With a plop, the cold sweat on Li Mingshu's forehead was like rain, and he knelt down and worshiped: "Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
"Whether it's sage or not, it's good that you know it in your mind. I have read the book about your country. There is no princess in Daxia who marries outside, and there is no old practice of using the country as a dowry. The stories of the previous dynasty will never happen in my Daxia . Put away your country’s petty thoughts, but if one soldier crosses the Yalu River, the Koryo Kingdom will no longer need to exist.”
Liu Heng glanced around the palace. The emperor's pressure made the ministers breathless.
Goryeo was so brave that it dared to write such a letter of credence. No wonder the emperor was so angry today.
"Since Emperor Taizu Gao has set the rules, he will implement them accordingly. Ministry of Rites, I will give you one day to wait. From tomorrow on, nothing like this will happen again in the capital."
After that, Liu Heng walked away with a flick of his sleeves. Xia Shouzhong shook off the dust in his hands and shouted: "Retreat from the court!"
The last major court meeting before the Dragon Boat Festival completely ignited the national pride of the people in the capital.
Of course, Gao Tongshun's reputation is completely ruined.
Even though the Gao family has a great reputation in Taiyuan, Jia Zheng was labeled as having liaison with the vassal state. Even the prime minister of a country has to be thrown rotten eggs and rotten vegetables, not to mention that there were many people outside Huiying Building yesterday. People eating melons and watching, this matter has been spread all over the capital with various rumors.
….
Gao Tongshun, who was thrown out of the palace gate, did not dare to stay for a moment, got into the carriage and ran out of the city.
Traveling all the way north, in a village near the foot of Yanshan Mountain, he finally had a chance to breathe.
"Shunzi, why are you here now?"
An old man with white beard came to the study with the support of Mei Ji, and looked at Gao Tongshun in surprise, who was pacing anxiously in the study.
Gao Tongshun glanced at Mei Ji irritably and said uneasily: "Third Grandpa, my grandnephew has something important to report..."
"You go out first, I will find you later."
The white-bearded old man patted Mei Ji's buttocks lightly, seemingly not panicking at all. He waited until Mei Ji walked out of his sight, then closed the door, sat back on the main seat, and asked in a cold voice: "What happened?" ?」
Gao Tongshun sighed bitterly and replied: "My great-nephew today
The great dynasty was impeached, and now it has been removed from office for the people..."
"What? How could that happen?"
The white-bearded old man stood up in shock, and his face became darker and darker when Gao Tongshun told the whole story in detail.
The long silence in the room made the already irritable Gao Tongshun unbearable. He secretly glanced at the white-bearded old man whose expression changed, and asked tentatively: "Third Grandpa, what should I do now?"
Bang!
The white-bearded old man picked up the tea cup on the table and smashed it on the ground. He snorted coldly and said, "Go back to Beijing immediately and tell Li Mingshu that we can give him what he wants, but there is one request that he must agree to... …”
…
Jia Cong had been kicked out of all official positions except General Habayashi, and was not qualified to go to court.
However, he couldn't escape the spanking after all. The Han general took him from Rongguo Mansion to the palace and spanked him ten times in front of the civil and military officials of the court and envoys from various vassal states...
"I can't be a human anymore, it's so embarrassing!"
"So many people were watching, and my clothes were taken off and my butt was spanked. How can I still hang out in the capital from now on?"
"Sage, tell me, your Majesty, by doing this, aren't you treating me like a human being to show to such a vassal country?"
"If you don't compensate me today, I will stay in the palace and won't leave!"
Jia Cong was rolling around in the Huangji Hall sadly, rolling from one end of the main hall to the other and back again.
The mighty general with a flowery arm tattooed with a golden layer, thought the little shit shoveler was playing with it, and rolled around in the main hall.
Liu Ji has been receiving acupuncture, cupping and medicine from the imperial doctor these days. The numbness in half of his body has finally been relieved and he can now move slowly.
I have been in a good mood these past few days. I smiled and watched the little fat man making trouble in the palace. He smiled as if I were watching a show and said: "It's not like the court cane was spanked with bare buttocks. It also has an undergarment. Besides, you are a child, what kind of face do you want?" ?」
Ga?
Jia Cong was suddenly pushed into the corner by the old man and was stunned for a long time.
Can a child be shameless? Uh... But it seems that he has been using children as an excuse to do things that are not very shameful.
Just when he wanted to deliberately drop the topic and continue wallowing, he saw a pair of thighs blocking his sight.
Looking up, the emperor, who was not angry and proud, was staring at him with a smile but not a smile: "Go on, let me see how my royal cat behaves and rolls around."
Well……
….
You have said so, then I will continue?
Jia Cong closed his eyes and started rolling around on the ground again, shouting: "I don't care, I don't care, I didn't do anything wrong, why do you want to hit me?"
Ah!
Liu Heng followed the saint and sat on the Taishi chair on the left. The two supreme masters just let the two cats roll on the ground and discussed the Korean credential.
"Let the spies of the Dragon Guards find out what happened in Goryeo. How dare they have the idea of getting married? How dare they bring up the dowry of the country? Do they really think that Daxia is the previous dynasty?"
The old man snorted coldly: "If the imperial court had not had time to visit the north, this letter of credence alone would have been enough for me to personally conquer the country and destroy its ancestral temple."
"No need, I'll go, I'll go, there's no need for the saint to lead the expedition himself..."
"Go and roll!"
Liu Ji glared at the little fat man with bright eyes who got up from the ground, and laughed and cursed: "Daxia has not fallen to the point of letting a child fight, isn't it necessary to stay in the palace and not leave? Continue!"
"No, no, I feel like I've grown up."
Jia Cong chuckled, patted the folds of his clothes, and bowed respectfully to the Second Saint: "I have grown up and can share the worries of the Saint and Your Majesty. Korea dares to think of the princess of the Celestial Dynasty and covet the land of Great Xia. I am willing to lead a partial army to crush Goryeo, destroy its country, and destroy its ancestral temple!"
Ouch...roar...
The royal cat howled, and the big cat also roared, as if cheering for him.
It's a pity that the two cats still made noises, and the two saints were dumbfounded and laughed.
The old man waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down obediently.
"Fourth brother, since Goryeo dares to take Liaodong's idea, there must be some calculation behind it. It can't be just a whim."
Liu Heng nodded and summoned Xia Shouzhong to report the recent events in Liaodong.
Xia Shouzhong took out a small notebook, opened it and started reading.
"In April of the third year of Yuanyou, a rebellion broke out in the Haixi Jurchen tribe. The Xizhongwei, Kaolangwuwei, and Handuolunwei fought for the position of the Haixi Jurchen Khan. The commander of the Handuolunwei, Dohalun, colluded with the Duoyanwei. A sneak attack on Xi Zhongwei and captured the throne."
"In August, Doharun's envoys came to Beijing to request the imperial title. Some members of the envoy secretly went to Dongping County Prince's Palace for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Doharun's envoys presented treasures. The saint... uh..."
The old man finally remembered that Doharun's envoys had presented a lot of tiger treasures, ginseng king and other great tonics. At that time, he drank a few more drinks, and amid the compliments of Qian Kangshi and others, he decreed that Doharun be made the new Khan King of the Haixi Jurchen Tribe.
Thinking of this, the old man waved his hand and said: "Ahem...continue reading."
Xia Shouzhong skipped here, bowed and continued to read: "In the first month of the fourth year of Yuanyou, the Jianzhou Guards were rushed to eight hundred miles. A rebellion broke out in Goryeo. More than ten thousand thieves crossed the Yalu River and attacked the Jianzhou Left Guards. They were defeated by our army. After being defeated, he fled into Changbai Mountain and disappeared without a trace."
"In August of the fourth year of Yuanyou, there was a flood in Liaodong and the north of Goryeo, and countless people were displaced. Many Goryeo people crossed the river and went north. The Dongping County Prince ordered all towns and prefectures in Liaodong to do their best to provide disaster relief, and said that Goryeo was a vassal state of our country. The subjects are no different from the people of Daxia and cannot be treated differently. The Dragon Guards have reported that since August, a total of tens of thousands of Korean people have stayed in Liaodong..."
"In October of the fourth year of Yuanyou, the Liaodong Capital Secretary reported that there were several large-scale transactions between the Haixi Jurchen Tribe and Goryeo, involving salt, iron, grain and other items, with a value of no less than 1.2 million taels of silver. Among them, Goryeo received from Mao Direction Wei sent a large amount of food to Doharun..."
"At the end of October in the fourth year of Yuanyou, the Qiao family in Qixian County, the Chang family in Yuci, the Cao family in Taigu, the Hou family in Jiexiu, the Qu family in Qixian County, the Kang family in Linfen, the Fan family in Jiexiu and the Kong family in Taigu gathered in Datong The alliance established the Shanxi Merchants General Chamber of Commerce. The chief officials of Dongping County Prince's Palace, Beijing County Prince's Palace, and Xining County Prince's Palace all attended the meeting. Among them, Dongping County Prince's Palace handed over the right to collect ginseng in Liaodong to Shanxi merchants."
"In November, the Shanxi Merchants General Chamber of Commerce established chambers of commerce in Jinzhou and Shenyang Zhongwei, and donated 500,000 taels of silver to the Liaodong camp in the name of the labor force."
As Xia Shouzhong finished reading each sentence, the atmosphere in Huangji Palace became more solemn.
"Fourth Brother, let me keep an eye on the Qian family. I want to see if Liaodong is still Daxia's land."
The old man chuckled: "Remember those people Daishan arranged? It's time to let them move."
