back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 505
No, Li Ran, the nosy Yushi Zhongcheng, immediately came out and said, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Lu Chengqi's reasoning hasn't been smoothed out yet, how could he be able to hide from these ghostly old fritters?He made up his mind not to open his mouth, but unfortunately things backfired. Not only Li Ran jumped out, but also Yun Feng, the left admonishing doctor, Qian Zongfang, the right advising doctor, and even Fu, the prince of Jiujiu of the Imperial College, all jumped out to question him.

If this situation were placed in the Qing Dynasty, it would be unimaginable.But it's different now, these "important officials of the court" have a strong sense of responsibility. Whenever they can catch the emperor's sore feet, they will jump out collectively, use a little bit of righteousness, and ruthlessly Step on the emperor a few times to show his integrity.

Lu Chengqi knew that this was a disease that could be cured.But the atmosphere is like this, and he can't do anything about it.Earlier, he had experienced the power of the unity of these civil servants. No matter where he was, he could block the door from morning to night.If it weren't for the closing of the palace gates in Youshi, I'm afraid they would set up a tent outside the Chuigong Hall, Chongde Hall, and Chongyuan Hall, and it would be possible to eat and sleep in the open and guard Lu Chengqi.He will not stop until he achieves his goal. This kind of courtier who accepts death, Lu Chengqi sees and hides once.

There is no way to punish them, fines for salaries and so on, it doesn't hurt or itches, maybe they will have a "clear breeze in their sleeves", wouldn't it further fulfill the reputation of these "ulterior motives" courtiers!If they are demoted, their reputation will be even greater, and their names will go down in history!It is even more impossible to dismiss officials on the spot. No matter how they look at it, they have made no mistakes, but they are just admonishing the king because of their disagreement.If they were really dismissed from office, I'm afraid their reputation would be even greater, and Lu Chengqi would also be labeled a "faint lord".It is difficult to be an emperor, and it is even more difficult to be a good emperor. It is even more difficult to be an emperor who is a foolish emperor and does not perish!

Lu Chengqi smiled and said: "I didn't do anything, but the frontier army from Fengsheng Prefecture fought a friendly battle with Liao Kingdom, right, Liao Kingdom envoy?"

Yeluren didn't understand what a "friendly war" was at first, but from Lu Chengqi's tone, it seemed that he was trying to shirk it.He was not an idiot either, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the frontier army of Fengsheng Prefecture attacked our Luanhe Palace in Liao Kingdom, causing nearly ten thousand casualties and injuries to our Liao Kingdom's palace tent soldiers. Your Majesty once said that Yang Wenguang, the shepherd of Fengsheng Prefecture, should be severely punished. And to compensate me one hundred thousand guan in the Liao Kingdom. These are all promised by His Majesty himself, Your Majesty will not break his promise, will he?"

Lu Chengqi laughed out of embarrassment, and said: "I speak well, how can I break my promise? This matter is indeed Dashun's fault. Our two countries have signed a three-year non-aggression treaty. Compensation is also due. It's just that you promised to return the people of Dashun..."

Before Lu Chengqi finished speaking, Yun Feng, the admonishing doctor, interjected: "Your Majesty, this matter is against the principles of benevolence and righteousness! Sending troops without reason is not a teacher of benevolence and righteousness; It is for injustice. Your Majesty, such unkind and unrighteous things must not be done!"

The more Lu Chengqi listened to it, the less he liked it. He thought to himself: "You stupid thing, your head is caught by the door, right? If you talk about benevolence and righteousness to the Liao Kingdom, people will listen? If it weren't for my development of military power, the Liao Kingdom would have called here long ago, standing up and talking Don’t have a backache, and if you have the ability to ask you to fight a battle on the battlefield? If you don’t run away and come back, I’ll count you as amazing!”

Seeing that Lu Chengqi's face was getting uglier, Qian Zongfang, the doctor on the right, couldn't help but tugged at the corner of Yunfeng's clothes.They can also be regarded as an offensive and defensive alliance. Generally speaking, Yun Feng is easily impulsive, while Qian Zongfang is much more tactful.

Sure enough, as Lu Chengqi expected, Yeluren is not a fool at first, knowing that he has been deceived, why doesn't he hit the snake with the stick?Immediately said: "Since this is the case, Your Majesty, our Liao Kingdom will also send Han people back to Dashun. Your Majesty will still pay the one hundred thousand yuan, right?"

Lu Chengqi glared at Yun Feng fiercely, and said in his heart: "You idiot who has more success than failure, see if I don't kill you!" Lu Chengqi is not really a person who holds grudges, but this time Yun Feng has provoked him I'm so upset, I'm already holding back my energy, and I want to give Yunfeng a good look!
Unexpectedly, this Yunfeng was really tough, and he met Lu Chengqi's eyes hard, unmoved in the slightest.Qian Zongfang, the counselor on the right, sighed slightly, and said, "Doctor Yun, why bother?"

Lu Chengqi didn't hear this, so he had a quick brainstorm and organized his words before saying: "I said it, no way. There are many grievances and grievances in the two countries of Shun and Liao. But if it wasn't for the Liao country to take advantage of the emptiness of my Dashun border, and take advantage of the emptiness And entering, Youyun Sixteen Prefectures will not be sparsely populated so far. Returning my Dashun people is a necessary condition, if there is no such condition, I will never pay a penny!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was shocked.The little emperor failed to negotiate, so he started playing rogue.This is a matter of life and death between the two countries. If the little emperor threatens the Liao Kingdom, isn't he afraid that the Liao Kingdom will become angry and use weapons again?

All officials, regardless of papers or military officials, looked at Lu Chengqi worriedly, hoping that he had just experienced hallucinations.But it's a pity that Lu Chengqi didn't take the wrong medicine, and he didn't have any neurological abnormalities.He just insisted on the interests of Dashun, just like Yeluren first insisted on the interests of the Liao Kingdom.

At this time, Xiao Han's servant, the deputy envoy of the Liao Kingdom, came out and said, "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate for the etiquette system! The Central Plains has always been a country of etiquette, why did your Majesty ignore it?"

Lu Chengqi pretended to be justifiable and forced me to be reasonable, and he was convinced that the Liao Guohui would be subdued, and he said firmly: "I Han Chinese etiquette depends on who you are. When a friend comes, he will be entertained with good tea and wine; if the enemy comes , swords and guns. I must have heard of you in the Liao Kingdom. I once said, "No vassal, no tribute, no land, no compensation, no marriage, and those who offend China will be punished even if they are far away!"

The meaning of these words is very clear, this compensation can only be made in the name of redemption, not in the name of compensation.Lu Chengqi made so many convoluted explanations, but he just wanted to fulfill this sentence thoroughly.

Yeluren had never heard this sentence before, but when he heard it for the first time, he scoffed.At the best, I can't help but meditate.An emperor, of course, can't slap his mouth, what he said doesn't matter.It was no wonder that the little emperor was so persistent that he must demand that the Liao Kingdom return the people of Dashun.

When Xiao Han's servant heard this, he also looked disdainful.If it wasn't for the civil strife in Liao Dynasty, Dashun would have been beaten to bow his head and become a vassal long ago, so there is no such thing as "not being a vassal"!It's just that the current situation is stronger than others. After the civil strife, Liao's vitality was severely damaged, and it was unable to commit crimes in the south.No matter how stubborn the Khitan people are, they can only go down the slope and ask for some money to go back, so as to recover their vitality as soon as possible.

It was rare that the Daqing Palace was so silent, and the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty forgot that the little emperor was an ambitious emperor. "No vassal, no tribute, no cede land, no compensation, no kinship, whoever offends China will be punished no matter how far away!" This sentence seems to be more of a slogan, and almost all Dashun officials don't take it to heart.Only the little emperor can take this as a warning, keep in mind and carry it through to the end.

"If your Majesty insists on this, the emperor of Liao Kingdom has also issued a decree, and only the Han Chinese in the tribe of Yelu Chongyuan, the criminal, can be returned, about 15 households." Yeluren said lightly, this is his trump card.Seeing the smile on his lips, Lu Chengqi couldn't help feeling a little disgusted: "Why are you so proud, give me three to five years, I don't think I'll beat you all to the ground!"
