North Korea, royal palace. state banquet.
Lord Shouyang led the government affairs, judged the officials and soldiers, and commanded both internal and external troops. Li Yao replaced the leader Li Hongwei and had a banquet with Xu Youzhen and others.
Also accompanying him were senior officials from North Korea who had just come to the fore.
North Korea's official positions are also in the nine-grade system, ranging from the first grade to the ninth and eighteenth grade.
At this time, almost all the officials above the third rank in Seoul arrived. Of course, except for some clans, these high-ranking officials are all from Li Yao.
At the banquet, Xu Youzhen was still the center of attention, and her every word and deed was carefully observed by many officials.
Xu Youzhen is sitting cross-legged on the main seat, while Li Yao is sitting not far to Xu Youzhen's right hand. Zhan Yang, the little expert in complaining, is sitting on Xu Youzhen's left hand, observing Xu Youzhen from time to time...
Although there were many people, it was very quiet, and there were no officials coming up to toast Xu Youzhen.
"Shouyang Lord, many details of peace and tranquility need to be paid more attention by Shouyang Lord." At the court today, Shouyang Lord represented the country's leader and had agreed. Even if Li Yao fell, this East-West North Korea Also admit it.
Li Yao chuckled and said: "Don't worry, Xudu Censor, I will summon the officials to make arrangements after the banquet is over."
Xu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Zhan Yang who was sitting at the bottom and staring at her, chuckled lightly, came to Li Yao's side and said softly: "Shou Yangjun, you must do things cleanly and neatly, don't let me fail others." excuse."
"What does Xu Du's censor mean?" Li Yao was a little confused. He looked at Zhan Shilang. Could it be that Xu Du's censor had a romantic night at my place last night and was discovered by Zhan Shilang? Does he want me to kill Shilang Zhan? I don't dare to do that.
"One more thing is needed for the affairs between the two places. With this thing, I will not fall into the trap of others when I am in the court, and I will be more favored in front of His Majesty. For Shouyang Jun's important affairs , it is also beneficial without any harm." Xu Youzhen's voice was still very low.
"What is it?" Li Yao asked quickly, as long as he was not allowed to kill the Shangguan from the Ming Dynasty, anything would be fine.
"credentials."
Li Yao became even more confused.
"Even if the country in the center of the Ming Dynasty has good intentions, in the eyes of outsiders, it is a place to seize vassal states, which will hinder the Ming Dynasty's reputation in other countries. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty needs North Korea to submit credentials, saying that the Jurchens in the territory are difficult to control, and the sky is angry and people are resentful. I would like to dedicate these two places to the Ming Dynasty to restrain these cruel Jurchens and benefit North Korea."
The big brother wants the younger brother's land, which is not nice to hear, but if the younger brother can't control these two pieces of land, then there are two different concepts if he takes the initiative to contribute.
One is to take advantage of others, and the other is to help.
After listening, Li Yao immediately understood what Xu Youzhen meant.
According to the saying of the Han people, it is both necessary and necessary...
However, Li Yao, who was eager to take the throne, agreed: "Don't worry, Censor of Xudu, the person who submitted the credentials will leave in the afternoon."
Xu Youzhen nodded, and then thought of His Majesty the Emperor, and became a little worried, "Your Majesty, I have accomplished this matter, but without me, Xu Youzhen, in the court, how will Your Majesty deal with those old foxes."
Little does he know that he himself is the old fox in the Ming Dynasty.
It is easy for Ming Dynasty to obtain two pieces of land for its influence on North Korea, but it is somewhat difficult for Ming Dynasty's domestic officials to accept it.
After all, this is a barbarian land, which can be regarded as a burden to the Ming Dynasty.
Those who can serve as officials in the court are those who are familiar with scriptures and have relatively solid thinking patterns.
If it were in the past, if North Korea dared to give it away, Ming Dynasty would not take it. But now, under the auspices of Yu Qian, it has become a national matter to change the soil into the current.
Changing the place of residence of a Jurchen is a matter of change, and some scattered Koreans are just a matter of passing by.
This is also the reason why Zhu Jianshen arranged for Xu Youzhen to do this. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and there were rich minerals buried underground in the two places. Even if the current generation cannot use it, future generations will one day use it.
"Censor of Xudu, why don't you go to my mansion and have a good chat tonight." Li Yao said seriously.
Xu Youzhen smiled bitterly.
If I still go tonight, I'm afraid my body won't be able to bear it, not to mention that the most beautiful woman in Shouyang Jun's house is already in her room, so there is no point in going.
Xu Youzhen waved her hand, then looked at Zhan Yang: "Shilang Zhan, Lord Shouyang invites you to come over tonight to reminisce about the past, do you dare to go?"
Zhan Yang snorted coldly: "Why don't you dare."
Cao Jixiang coughed twice, and I was listening. Why didn't you invite me?
Xu Youzhen glanced at Cao Jixiang, and then said: "Eunuch Cao..." He glanced at Shouyang Jun Li Yao.
Li Yao immediately gave instructions: "At that time, Admiral Cao will also reward you."
Eunuch Cao said with a smile: "I will definitely arrive early..."
…………
Ming Dynasty Liaodong, Liaoping Prefecture.
An iron horse.
Since Sun Xiang added another five thousand Ming troops, the raids against the Jurchens have become more powerful.
Six large Jurchen tribes were wiped out, with a population of tens of thousands, and the Koreans who did not retreat were also gathered.
In Shi Heng's view, there was no difference between these Koreans and the Jurchens. After dealing with another Jurchen tribe, Shi Heng rushed towards the camp with ease, wanting to tell Sun Xiang the good news.
And then I met an uninvited guest, Zheng Zhong, the envoy of Zhongcheng Prefecture in North Korea.
This Zheng Zhong was a close associate of Shouyang Lord Li Yao. In the fifth year of Chenghua, he used a strategy to kill Li Chengyu, the former Anping Dao Jiedu envoy who united the Jurchen tribe and proclaimed himself the emperor of Jin Dynasty.
The purpose of Zheng Zhong's coming here was not to condemn the Ming army for crossing the border, but to give him land.
Sun Xiang, who was talking to him, didn't know why. He thought that if he wanted to take these lands as his own, he needed the Ming army to attack North Korea. But who knew that before the Ming army attacked North Korea, the North Koreans came to the door themselves. .
One-third of the land of the original Anping Road and the entire land of Anping Road were handed over to the Ming Dynasty army. The Yalu River was no longer the dividing line between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, but became the inner river of the Ming Dynasty.
This time Zheng Zhong came well prepared and had already drawn up a soil donation treaty.
It has been stamped with the seal of the North Korean leader, the national seal of the Council of Ministers, and the private seal of Lord Shouyang.
Looking at the soil donation treaty, Sun Xiang knew that it must be Xu Youzhen's contribution in Seoul. At this time, Shi Heng, smelling of blood, walked into the camp.
"Wu Yanghou, you came back just in time. Come and take a look at the treaty sent by Zheng Fushou." After Sun Xiang saw Shi Heng, he handed the treaty to Shi Heng.
Shi Heng glanced suspiciously at Zheng Zhong and his party, who were wearing North Korean official uniforms, walked forward, then took the contract and read it carefully.
Zheng Zhong and other North Korean officials were all looking at Shi Heng.
Shi Heng also knew that these people were looking at him.
He looked at the Chinese characters on the treaty. I have obviously learned these, but I can’t understand why they are put together. Is this a letter of challenge? Impossible. How could the little North Korea issue a letter of challenge to the Ming Dynasty? This requires It's not a declaration of war, so what the hell is this?
Because there were outsiders present, Shi Heng did not directly say to Sun Xiang, "I don't understand" as usual. He pretended that he could understand, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing, and sometimes sighing. tone...
But Zheng Zhong thought in his mind that just a few lines of words would take so long to read?
After reading it, Shi Heng folded the paper and handed it back to Sun Xiang, and then whispered: "What is written on this piece of shit has so many stamps on it."
Shi Heng originally thought that if he spoke in a lower voice so that Zheng Zhong and others could not hear him, he would be more decent.
But as soon as he finished speaking, before Sun Xiang could answer, Zheng Zhong said, "I have met Marquis Wuyang, Zheng Zhong."
Shi Heng glanced at Zheng Zhong and became interested. He had heard of Zheng Zhong's name.
"My general heard your name mentioned by the captured Jurchens. In the fifth year of Chenghua, after Li Chengyu led his army and the Jurchens to the Zhongcheng Mansion, you used a trick to murder Li Chengyu and his four sons. The Jurchen people also suffered heavy losses, what a good trick." M.biQuge.biZ
"Marquis Wuyang has been rewarded, except for a sycophant who conspired to cause chaos. He called the emperor the Emperor of Jin. Even if we in Korea don't take action, the Ming Dynasty will send troops to annihilate them."
Shi Heng chuckled twice but said nothing.
"Is the font of this treaty not neat enough so that Marquis Wuyang can't understand it? Please explain to Marquis Wuyang in detail. This is a document of land dedication that has been agreed upon by our Lord of Korea, Lord Shouyang, in two copies. One portion was sent to the Ming Dynasty by the envoys, and the other was brought over by the lower officials and presented to the Ming Dynasty Shangguan and Governor Sun."
After listening to Zheng Zhong's words, Shi Heng's face felt a little hot. Was his acting skills so poor? It shouldn't be...
Shi Heng, who was a little embarrassed, quickly changed the topic.
"How do you know Governor Sun is here?"
"It was informed by the Ming Dynasty Shangguan Xudu Yushi who was on an envoy to Seoul." Zheng Zhong said slowly.
