Whether it was the envoys coming to Qi or the envoys going to King Anton, their hearts were hit hard.
There are so many weird things in this era.
Jiang Ji took a sip of tea, then put the tea cup on the table and asked Qu Bing'e,
"Envoy from South Korea, since ancient times, our neighbors to the north of Da Qi have been the Feng Country. When did it change to South Korea?"
Qu Bing'e quickly stood up and said,
"Back to the Great Emperor, the strength of the Feng Kingdom has been exhausted. Our country was usurped by Feng five hundred years ago. Now, our emperor is an unparalleled master, and he has regained the country of Korea from the hands of Dafeng."
"Oh? But your lord was clearly a minister before, but now he has usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and did that disobedient thing.
He who committed regicide and usurped the throne was unfaithful and unjust and should be punished by the whole world. "
Jiang Ji's words frightened Qu Shang'e into a cold sweat, and he quickly said,
"Great Emperor, the wind is unruly, the royal family is weak, the people have no food to eat, and the people are in dire straits. Our lord cannot bear the dire straits of the people, so he resolutely raises troops to clear the emperor's side.
My lord is not the son of a rebellious minister, but because there are many sycophants in the court, eating away at the country like maggots attached to the bones, regardless of the suffering of the people, my lord has no choice but to raise an army to fight against the thieves.
I just didn't expect that the rebellious ministers and traitors in the court were crazy and killed the late Emperor Dafeng and the royal family. The country could not be left without an owner for a day, so my lord had no choice but to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor under the persuasion of all his ministers.
My Lord, my heart is also bitter.
He has paid so much for the country, but is not understood by most people in the world. This is bitter and cannot be appreciated by outsiders. "
Hearing this, Prime Minister Cai Jin sneered and said,
"Then since your lord is a loyal minister of Dafeng, why do you want to change the name of the country to Han? Why not continue the Feng Kingdom and Zuo?
I heard that there is an anti-Korean force in the north of your country, who made the Feng royal family the emperor, and the country's name is still Dafeng. Then why doesn't your lord pay allegiance to the Dafeng royal family?
You said before that your country was taken back from Dafeng, but later you said that your master is Dafeng Zhongliang.
Isn’t it ridiculous to contradict oneself? "
Jiang Ji didn't know these things, but it was impossible for Cai Jin, the prime minister, not to know. This was why Jiang Ji had to wait until Cai Jin arrived.
The messenger said calmly,
"Prime Minister Cai, my lord is indeed a loyal man, not a regicide usurper. The fake court in the north is just a thief Nie Chen who randomly found a fake prince among the people and ascended the throne. The real sixth prince has long been Already died at the hands of former Xiang Tongyuan.
It’s okay that the pseudo-emperor is fake. Nie Chen is still controlling the government and military affairs. He wants our country to repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty. He has a terrible intention.
Moreover, Nie Chen is young, energetic, and very ambitious. His goal is not just Korea, nor the entire Gale Kingdom, but the entire world.
Once our country is defeated and Nie Chen unifies the country, he will definitely send his troops south to attack Qi. By then, Qi will be in danger. "
Hearing this, Cai Jin snorted coldly and shouted,
"Scaremongering, but judging from the truth, you are the one who wants to be punished. You want to drag our country into your country's civil war, right?
I, the Qi Dynasty, have millions of forbidden troops, countless famous commanders and good generals, and countless gold, silver, food and grass.
The little country of Feng still dares to offend me, Daqi? My million-strong army marches northward and will wipe him out in an instant. "
This is true. Qi State does have millions of forbidden troops, and they are very rich. They occupy a vast area of the Central Plains, and have endless amounts of food and grass piled up in mountains.
Compared to the barren Feng Country, it was countless times better.
Qu Bing'e calmed down and said directly,
"But in this case, the Qi State will definitely be counterattacked by the entire Dafeng. Since ancient times, Qi State has always lost more in battles against the Feng than won, and has suffered countless losses in military and national strength.
Once Nie Chen unified Dafeng, the Feng Kingdom would definitely send troops to Qi State.
On the contrary, although we, Korea, are now at a disadvantage, if Qi State sends troops to help, we, Korea, are grateful for Qi State's kindness and will definitely reciprocate the favor.
At that time, the two countries will always form an alliance, and we, Dahan and Daqi, will become brotherly countries and will not invade each other. Qi will have one less powerful enemy in its northern border.
You can now concentrate on dealing with Chu State to the south and Sichuan State to the west.
Even if Da Qi is in need, we, Korea, can also send troops to help Da Qi attack other countries, in order to repay Qi's kindness. "
After hearing this, Cai Jin snorted coldly,
"Stop talking nonsense. Both the officials and the prime minister know that this is an opportunity for Daqi to solve the problem in the north. But if you, Dahan, put forward such a small condition, then I will not be able to follow it. You talked.
Da Qi is going to send troops anyway, so why not send troops directly to destroy you, Dahan, first, and then Da Feng? "
Qu Bing'e said immediately,
"What Prime Minister Cai said is wrong. Our country still has an army of 500,000 to fight. At the same time, we have also roped in King Andong and King Jingshan to form an alliance. They two kings each have an army of 5.6 million, and the total is 1.5 million. It is still very easy for an army of more than 100,000 to fight against Nie Chen.
If Qi does not ally with us and instead attacks us, then we must first unite to retreat from the enemy, and then compete with Nie Chen for the world.
We can even make a temporary truce with Nie Chen and Chen Wujiang. By then, with more than two million troops, won't they still be able to stop Qi's one million forbidden troops? "
Cai Jin sneered and didn't believe it at all.
"Really? If your country is so powerful, why would you come to our country to ask for help?
Wouldn't it be better if you just go and kill Nie Chen? Why is it necessary for our country to send troops into your country? "
"My lord just wants to take advantage of this opportunity to form a permanent alliance with Qi. Qi wants to solve the troubles in the north, and our country also wants to solve the troubles in the south. After all, nothing is better than the peaceful coexistence of the two countries."
"Our country is wasting money, food, troops, and troops to help us, just to gain your country's friendship? Hahahaha..."
Cai Jin laughed loudly, looked at Qi Emperor Jiang Ji and said,
"Officials, listen, they are talking as if we, Da Qi, are begging them, South Korea, and they, South Korea, are giving us Da Qi this opportunity. It is really ridiculous."
Jiang Ji also snorted coldly,
"Messenger, do you really think that I am a three-year-old child who is weak and can be bullied? Am I so easily fooled by you?
When asking for help, you must have a begging attitude. If you always have this attitude, then there will be nothing to talk about.
Please go back to the envoy. Wherever you come from, go back to where you came from. I have to start arranging my troops and prepare to enter your country. "
Hearing this, Qu Bing'e hurriedly said,
"Great Emperor, my subordinates have come to form an alliance with Da Qi sincerely under the orders of our lord. They have a completely sincere heart."
"A heart of sincerity? I didn't see it, I only saw you as the messenger. I thought I was easy to fool, and you tried to deceive me again and again.
There is not even a single word of truth in your mouth. Such people who lie constantly, how can I form an alliance with you, a country with no faith and no justice? "
