back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 192
Cui Jie'an, the envoy of Goryeo, walked into the Chuigong Hall familiarly under the guidance of the servant.Lu Chengqi didn't want to change places, so he went to Chongzheng Hall to talk to him.Because of these Korean sticks, there is no need to say much.

Cui Jie'an honestly followed the procedures, and greeted Lu Chengqi's daily life on behalf of the King of Korea, and then Lu Chengqi also asked a few words lightly, before entering the topic.

Knowing Lu Chengqi's style, Cui Jie'an said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, the King of Korea has already sent someone to reply. Our King cannot agree to the conditions His Majesty raised earlier..."

Lu Chengqi has no patience to listen to it. Goryeo Bangzi's coveting of the territory, who has read history in later generations, who does not know?Since they didn't agree to open the border, Lu Chengqi didn't have anything to say to Cui Jie'an, and said directly: "Master Cui can go back to the country, and I can let you carry out the tribute trade. When it's over, go away and stay in my Dashun territory. , it's not a problem..."

Cui Jie'an quickly said: "Your Majesty, I will allow you to say a few words. The land in Koryo is barren and the production is not abundant. If there is no trade, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive. In addition, the area is farther north and the winter is cold, and the people suffer from the cold. Everyone. If there is no trade, I am afraid that millions of people in Goryeo will suffer. Your Majesty is a bodhisattva. You should be sympathetic to the situation of the lower state and open up trade as soon as possible..."

Lu Chengqi didn't have any expression on the surface, quietly listening to Cui Jie'an's acting skills, but he couldn't believe it in his heart. In the book "Zuo Zhuan", it has long been said that "people who are not of my race must have different hearts." Although many Koreans are descendants of Yin and Shang, after so many years, Goryeo has existed as an independent regime. Remember the country of the Central Plains!
Cui Jie'an's insistence on opening border trade is probably related to the interests of officials in Korea.The specialty of Korea is nothing but ginseng.And those who can do ginseng business must be high-ranking officials. How can ordinary people get involved?If Dashun does not open border trade, they can still find a market.Through resale trade, it was first sold to the Khitan people of the Liao Kingdom.

The problem lies here. The Khitan people have always been domineering in business. If high-ranking officials in Goryeo do business with them, wouldn't they be crushed to death?In this way, the profit will be reduced. A person who is used to making money every day suddenly asks him to reduce his income. In other words, no one can bear it, as if there is a fishbone stuck in his heart.

It is not so much that Cui Jiean is the representative of the King of Koryo, but rather the representative of these vested interest groups, for more interests.These high-ranking officials in Goryeo controlled the trading of ginseng. If they traded with honest Dashun merchants, it would naturally be a win-win situation.But if it's a resale trade, it's not a small loss. These high-ranking officials in Korea will definitely not do it.

Lu Chengqi quietly listened to Cui Jiean's talk, and he couldn't believe it in his heart.For these ambassadors, I believe half of them have accidents.Lu Chengqi pretended to ponder for a while, and then slowly said: "I heard another version, I don't know how Master Cui explained it? I heard that the Khitan people never fought Caogu in the territory of Goryeo, they just harassed them." That's all. But those Jurchens often burn, kill and loot you. I also heard that even if you don't do trade, the money you collect can make you spend like dirt. You don't bother to cultivate food, think These things can't make much money..."

Cui Jie'an looked at Lu Chengqi in horror, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is wronged, my king has never done such a thing..."

Lu Chengqi sneered and said, "Haven't done it? I'm curious, your Koryo territory is not too small. Even if the north doesn't produce grain, doesn't the south also produce grain? With such a large territory, how many people can you live on?" Millions of people, who will believe it? Besides, you changed the suzerain state without my consent. Have you considered my feelings? Since you can all do the first day of the junior high school, why can't I do the fifteenth?"

Cui Jie'an didn't understand very much. Didn't he say that Dashun's news was blocked, and he didn't even know the actual situation in Korea, so it was easy to be fooled?Why does this little emperor seem to know Goryeo like the back of his hand, even knowing such hidden things clearly!
"Master Cui, I'm not afraid to tell you honestly that a person who makes a wrong decision must be punished, and a country that makes a wrong decision must be punished even more. Put away your tricks, I won't I will sympathize with you. Don’t come here in the future, otherwise, I will be afraid that I will not be able to bear the thought of using swords. Go back and tell Wang Hui, if you know that you are wrong, then apologize to me honestly, and break up with Khitan. Clear the relationship. Otherwise, hmph, even I don't know the consequences..."

Lu Chengqi threatened and intimidated Cui Jiean's petite heart.In the past dynasties, which king was so shameless, sneered at the envoys of other countries, and threatened other countries.

This is also because Cui Jie'an didn't live long enough. If he lived to the top of the official history and saw the way Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang handled the Japanese envoys, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it.In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang and Lu Chengqi are the same kind of person, and their personalities must be very different, but they are the same in their toughness.

At this point, Cui Jie'an also understood Lu Chengqi's thoughts, and his face immediately darkened.He is also a human being. No matter how small the country of Korea is, it has its own dignity. Lu Chengqi robbed him of his dignity. As a messenger, he must maintain his dignity: "Your Majesty, do you know the consequences of these words? There are also hundreds of thousands of people who control strings, if Goryeo and Liao join hands, Dashun will probably be overwhelmed, right?"

Lu Chengqi laughed loudly when he heard the words, and thought to himself: "Xiao Mian, if you are soft, you can become hard. Am I afraid of you? I don't know if I am scared, more than hard? Who is afraid of whom! Khitan people and Dashun There is a three-year agreement, even if the war starts now, they can't take advantage of it. The Khitan people can't do it, what else can these Goryeo sticks do? Dashun doesn't attack you, and you still want to attack Dashun? I guess it's a brain attack It's broken... That's right, Goryeo sticks always love face, it seems that I have poked their sore feet..."

These thoughts quickly passed through Lu Chengqi's mind, and then he said with a sneer: "Okay, I want to see what you Koreans are capable of! If you don't come to attack me Dashun within three years, you are a grandson!"

After saying this ruthless sentence, Lu Chengqi also tore his face, and shouted: "Come here, throw this madman out of the palace. By the way, drive all the Koreans out of the Dashun border, especially this Cui Jiean. One step into the border of Dashun, die!"

Cui Jie'an stared like a bull's eye, and before he could speak, the imperial guard rushed into the Chuigong Palace, covered his mouth, and walked out of the palace...

Lu Chengqi ignored it, but turned to study the map instead.There is a saying in later generations that despises the enemy strategically and values ​​the enemy tactically.Knowing that Goryeo is unlikely to have any influence on Dashun, but the necessary precautions are still indispensable...
