In addition to Xixia, on the Goryeo side, the Goryeo King Wang Huan also decided to send a hundred-member envoy represented by the fifteen-year-old crown prince Wang Qi to express Goryeo's sincerity to Su Yonglin.
Goryeo hoped that Su Yonglin could feel this sincerity and personally canonize the King and Crown Prince of Goryeo.
In addition to the gesture, there was a lot of discussion within the Goryeo Dynasty about the Ming Empire's statement that "the emperor of our country is not the emperor but the emperor of men" and the country's name "Ming".
The Korean literati were deeply influenced by Confucian classics and had a fundamentalist style. They blindly pursued the perfect world described in the Confucian classics. They also admired the political situation in which the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats shared the world, believing that in this way they could achieve the pursuit of universal unity. .
Of course, this is what they say, but everyone knows what they do in private.
This group of civil servants favored by Wang Xi first felt that there was something wrong with the country's name "Ming".
They looked through Chinese history books but could not find an ancient country named Ming. Then they learned that the name of the country was decided by the emperor of Ming himself. The starting point was to commemorate those who died heroically to establish the Ming Dynasty. They suddenly felt that this was the right thing to do. Unorthodox.
What is there to commemorate those Qiu Ba?
They don't understand -
Mainly, Goryeo also learned a lot from the Northern Song Dynasty in terms of civil and military affairs. It looked down upon warriors and valued literati. The entire social customs of Goryeo were similar to those in the Northern Song Dynasty. It was emphasized that a good man should not be a soldier but a good man should not make nails.
Then they learned that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not want to be the emperor, but the emperor of the people, and they felt that it was an ominous sign that the Emperor of the Central Plains rashly changed his ancestor's approach.
If the Chinese emperor does not become the emperor, how can the country continue after a hundred years?
As a result, this view triggered criticism and questioning of the Ming Empire and Su Yonglin by Goryeo civil servants.
They discussed this matter in private, thinking that Su Yonglin must have become inflated and felt that he was invincible, which would bring disaster to the Ming Empire.
Generally speaking, they realized that the Ming Empire was a regime established by warriors and did not respect Confucian tradition so much, so they viewed it more negatively.
Among all the doubts, only Yin Linzhan publicly expressed his opposition to this, believing that Su Yonglin definitely did not do this out of inflation, but had a deep-seated intention.
Wang Yan didn't know what was going on, so he asked Yin Linzhan, the only person in Korea who had met Su Yonglin, what Su Yonglin's intentions were.
"I have no way of knowing the specific intention, and Emperor Ming will not tell me. I just feel that Emperor Ming is not the kind of person who goes wild when he succeeds. Although Emperor Ming is young, he is very restrained and does not deliberately emphasize his achievements everywhere.
Ordinary arrogant people would like to have their achievements written on their faces, swaggering around and annoying people, but Emperor Ming was not like this. Emperor Ming's behavior was relatively low-key, often talking about people's livelihood, not hearing about his achievements, in order to highlight himself Being a human emperor instead of an emperor based on his achievements is not like what Emperor Ming did. "
Wang Chen thought for a moment and then asked: "In your opinion, what kind of person is Emperor Ming?"
Yin Linzhan thought seriously.
"Serious, restrained, talented and strategic, with high aspirations, and very good at using troops. It is said that the famous generals in the Ming Dynasty are all former subordinates of Emperor Ming. They are all loyal to Emperor Ming, so the situation in the Ming Dynasty is very stable."
"You have a very high opinion of Emperor Ming."
Wang Yan looked at Yin Linzhan meaningfully.
Yin Linzhan did not change his opinion.
"The Emperor Ming led a common people to rebel, destroyed the Jin Kingdom in just three years, and established the Ming Kingdom in its place, recaptured the Central Plains, rebuilt China, and restored Chinese clothes. Isn't such a man a man of heaven?"
Yin Linzhan's words left Wang Yan speechless.
Because this is also true. After learning about Su Yonglin's achievements, Wang Hui also found it quite incredible. He felt that Su Yonglin was simply not a human being. He might be a god sent by God.
Living with such a figure in the same era is both lucky and unfortunate, but for Goryeo, it is certainly lucky.
Because Gao Li just wanted to hug her thighs.
So what else is there to say?
As long as Su Yonglin is still alive and as long as Su Yonglin has no problems, then the situation in the Ming Empire will be as stable as Mount Tai.
As for other things, they are not something they can consider now. They have no capital to consider at all, because they cannot even fight against even 10,000 Ming soldiers.
After all, Goryeo is just a small country.
Like Xixia and Goryeo, after the Southern Song Dynasty learned the news, Tang Situi, the head of the prime minister team appointed by Zhao Gou, personally led the envoy to Zhongdu to congratulate Su Yonglin on his enthronement and proclaimed emperor.
They carried a large number of gifts, and the entire congratulatory team was so majestic that the scale of previous trips northward could not be compared with it.
However, there was a lot of discussion within the Southern Song Dynasty about Su Yonglin's proclaimed emperor and many details of his proclaimed emperor.
Although the Southern Song Dynasty officially recognized the existence of the Ming Empire as soon as possible and sent people north to Zhongdu to sign a formal peace treaty with the Ming Empire in accordance with the covenant, there were still many officials in the Southern Song Dynasty who cherished the feelings of their motherland towards the Central Plains.
They were already very dissatisfied with the Southern Song government's attitude of recognizing the Liberation Army and being unwilling to go north. Now that the Liberation Army directly established the country and Su Yonglin officially proclaimed himself emperor, it meant that the Central Plains would never be able to return to the embrace of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Moreover, as a Han regime, the Ming Empire established by the Liberation Army obviously also had claimed power over the entire land of China.
This claimed power came from the Jin Kingdom. The Jin Kingdom destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, but the Southern Song Dynasty still existed. Logically speaking, the Jin Kingdom did not have orthodox legal principles. However, Zhao Gou professed to the Jin Kingdom, recognized the Jin Kingdom's rule over the Central Plains, and gave up the ruling legal principles. , so the Jin Kingdom is enough to share orthodoxy with the Southern Song Dynasty.
But now that the Ming Empire has destroyed the Jin Kingdom and taken away the legal principles possessed by the Jin Kingdom, it also has the legitimacy to rule the Central Plains.
If there is any discord between the two countries in the future, it is likely to lead to war. The resistance of the Southern Song Dynasty people to the Han regime will definitely not be more serious than the resistance to the foreign regime. Once that happens, how should the Southern Song Dynasty deal with it?
The Ming Empire had such a powerful armed force as the Liberation Army!
Does the court really have no concerns about this?
After all, there were not many such people. Although they tried to speak out loudly, because they had no voice channels in the center of the court and no high-ranking officials to support them, they had no way to deal with the general trend of the establishment of the Ming Empire.
More folk literati in the Song Dynasty still made a big fuss about the title of the Ming Empire and Su Yonglin's claim that "I should be the emperor, not the emperor".
Privately, they upheld the tradition of the Song Dynasty that valued literature over military affairs, and with the superiority of literati they despised the Ming Empire, a regime established by pure "martial men".
They said that in ancient times, there was no country with a clear name, and Su Yonglin did not get any title with a clear name. He simply made a country name based on his own preferences and did not follow etiquette. It was simply ridiculous and unreasonable.
There is also the claim that he will not be emperor but only human emperor. Could it be that he thought that he would be invincible after conquering the Central Plains in three years, so he became so inflated that he felt that he could even disrespect God?
People are doing it, God is watching, and there are gods three feet above your head. You, Su Yonglin, have great martial arts skills, but you are just a mortal after all. How can you deny the meaning of God so openly?
Arrogant!
Compared with the purely negative perceptions of civilian literati, the court officials were relatively more objective, but they were not objective enough. They were also dissatisfied with Su Yonglin's two unusual actions and felt that they were arrogant.
They also judged Su Yonglin's mental state and felt that he was a man who was eager to achieve great success. He was full of aggression and was not an easy person to deal with. They suggested that the court be more wary of the Ming Empire.
Of course, Zhao Gou would not listen to the opinions of the people and low-level officials. He convened a team of prime ministers and assistants to conduct an in-depth discussion of the relevant documents sent by the Ming Empire.
It would be fine if it was a general announcement of proclaiming the emperor. Zhao Gou accepted it, and the country's title didn't matter. He didn't care either.
As long as the Ming Empire doesn't disturb his comfortable life, that's fine.
But it is indeed rare to say that one can only be a human emperor without being an emperor. Zhao Gou didn't believe that Su Yonglin didn't understand the benefits of being an emperor, but Su Yonglin did it anyway.
why is that?
