Chapter 633 Reason

Before Jin Mingde carelessly asked the interpreter to ask questions, Cui Junwen already felt that the situation was wrong.

Goryeo is a close neighbor of Dajin in the northeast, and has a lot of contacts with Dajin, and has always had channels to understand the situation in the Central Plains.They have believed for a long time that the prosperity of the Great Jin Kingdom lies in the strength of the Jurchens, just as the prosperity of the Daliao Dynasty originated from the thousands of troops of the Khitan people.As for Han'er, who was ruled successively by Khitans and Jurchens, his force should be very weak, about the same as that of Song State, which is now secluded in the south.

Therefore, if Dajin's government is controlled by a Haner, it shows that the Jurchens are weak, and Dajin's power will disappear.

This understanding is purely taken for granted, but it is difficult to correct.

The whole country of Gaoli heard from the Khitan population that there were a group of ruthless characters in Han'er, but those subordinates of Yelusi were vague about their own failures, so the country of Gaoli did not understand the situation of Dajin.

Until Cui Junwen saw Li Yun yelling and driving many tribal leaders, he suddenly understood.

This kind of savage in the Northeast is the most savage. He only knows that the stronger wins, and he doesn't bow his head to others easily.In the past two years, Gao Li had contacted them with all her heart, but no one had ever been so obedient to Gao Li!
The regime that can make these tribes so obedient must have demonstrated great strength, how could it be weak?Perhaps, the Dajin Kingdom is indeed weak, but the Marshal's Mansion that controls the Dajin court is actually very powerful.Li Yun said just now that Marshal Guo led hundreds of thousands of troops, not bragging!The reason why those Khitan people crossed the Yalu River was the result of being expelled by the Marshal's Mansion of the capital of Dajin!

This Marshal Guo Ning is probably another Cui Xiang!Even, ahem, Director Cui Xiang is not on the battlefield after all.The strength of this Guo Ning might be a little higher than that of Cui Xiang!

This kind of strong neighbor must be respected politely, how can there be any reason to turn it into a strong enemy?
Thinking of this, Cui Junwen felt that he had better be cautious.When summoned by Li Yun, he subconsciously stood far away from Jin Mingde.

Even so, he did not expect that the envoy of the Dajin Kingdom would order the killing on the spot.

Dajin and Goryeo have hired envoys back and forth for a hundred years, and there is not a time when swords are at war.The hired envoys of the Dajin Kingdom relied on themselves to go to the country, and they often flaunted their prestige in front of the Koreans.However, at the order of the envoy, he killed a Goryeo general. This kind of thing has never happened.

Cui Junwen felt that he should reprimand him logically, but he was afraid of the ferocity of the great gold envoy, so he really didn't dare.He was about to kneel on the ground, praising the Dajin envoy repeatedly for his reasoning, but he also dared not think of Cui Xiang's power and life-and-death methods immediately.

So, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the general of the Longwu Army of Korea stood like a fool, not speaking or moving.The Goryeo cavalry who were hundreds of steps away saw him not moving, shouted for a while, and then fell silent again.

"Pull him over," Li Yun said.

Several chiefs excitedly dragged Cui Junwen to Li Yun.

"Your Prime Minister Cui sent Qingqi to cross the border and go deep into Baili to meet me. It was nothing more than a deterrent. However, the status of our two countries has been determined early, and there is no reason to give up the flag and hold the flag. Since there are people demonstrating, they should come if they think about it. Someone is in charge of Huairou's mediation. The person in charge of the demonstration is dead, and the person in charge of Huairou...is that you?"

Can you still say no?

Cui Junwen nodded with a wry smile.

"That's good. Listen up, General Cui. You must listen to our reasoning. It's the same everywhere. There is no need to discuss this matter. If you understand this, then we can talk about something serious. How about it?" Like?" Li Yun laughed.

Just killed my lieutenant general, the smile at the moment is disgusting no matter how you look at it.Cui Junwen complained in his heart, and dared not answer, let alone question the "reason".

He asked late, "...what's the business?"

"I am going to your country under the order of the Marshal of the capital. I have a few things with me. This one is the same. General Cui, please take a look."

Li Yun fumbled for the salute package behind him a few times, took out a document, and threw it into Cui Junwen's arms.

Cui Junwen is a child of a giant family in Goryeo. Although he is a military official, he is actually familiar with court rituals and regulations, and can even speak fluent Chinese.He and Li Yun answered without even needing an interpreter.At this moment, he took a closer look and knew that this was not an ordinary document, but an imperial edict from the Great Jin Emperor.

"This……"

Cui Junwen hesitated for a moment.

Li Yun said in a deep voice, "Open it!"

"Yes Yes."

Cui Junwen quickly opened the edict, because his hands were shaking, it took a little effort to disassemble the silk.

I saw only a few lines of text written on the imperial edict: "I use Cui Zhongxian to know Xianwei, to be chaste, to be good-neighborly, and to be filial. Every time you lead the land of the Three Koreas, you will be enshrined in Zhouzheng; the journey of thousands of miles is always the same. Chen Yugong. The name of the honor has been revealed, but the rank of the noble is not respected. It is appropriate to favor Xi with Tonggui, and to serve as the real seal in Taoye. Today, the Cui family has the power to know the king of Koryo. , Prepare the book of rites, and order comfort, I think it is appropriate to know."

This is the canonization of Cui Xiang by Emperor Dajin!

This is the canonization of Cui Xiang by Emperor Dajin who jumped away from King Goryeo!

Compared with the entrustment in this edict, what are Cui Xiang's current official positions?Even if he reaches the extreme of being a minister, he is still a minister, and the person who holds the king hostage is still not a king.But if he got this conferment, Cui Xiang would no longer be a minister, he would be the Lord of Three Hans on the same level as Wang!The goal that the old man has been striving for for half his life has almost come true!
Cui Junwen's forehead was throbbing with blue veins.If this edict is brought to Kaijing now, it will immediately set off a turbulent political situation in Goryeo... After all, Cui Xiang's arrangement has not been perfected, and the power to support the king has not been cleaned up yet.

But in the final analysis, is this edict beneficial to Cui Xiang?Very beneficial!This is the trump card that can turn the world upside down at a critical moment!
Why did the Dajin court love Cui Xiang so much?

"This this……"

Cui Junwen didn't know what to say, he opened his mouth, his throat seemed to be dry.

Li Yun got up suddenly, took back the imperial edict, drew out the dagger from his waist, and smashed it into pieces.

Cui Junwen felt that his heart couldn't take it anymore, he yelled "Ah", and lay down on the ground and fumbled.It wasn't until his hands were muddy and he was only holding a few fragments that he regained his composure and looked up at Li Yun again.

Li Yundao: "Just now, this idiot surnamed Jin dared to provoke me, saying that he didn't believe the reason that we are all Marshal's Palace. So this edict is gone."

Then Jin Mingde is just a man of humble background, what is it worth?The value of this edict is more important than one hundred, one thousand Jin Mingde's heads!
Envoy of Shangguo, you are also a person of status, isn't it a little rash to act like a rascal?Is there anything we can't talk about?It’s fine if you don’t take it out at all, now let me see the edict and chop it up with a knife, how can I explain it to Cui Xiang later?
Cui Junwen wanted to cry, but his eyes turned black, and he fell to the ground as soon as his legs gave way.

"but……"

Li Yun lengthened his voice.

Cui Junwen suddenly raised his head: "The envoy of Shangguo, but what? Ah?"

"As I said just now, Dajin's political power is now under the control of my family's marshal. This kind of edict can be issued at any time as long as my family's marshal wants it, and it is at your fingertips."

Li Yun leaned down and emphasized his tone: "As long as you follow the principles of the Marshal's Mansion, we can talk about anything your Xiang Cui wants, not just this edict."

"Really?" Cui Junwen grinned.

When he was in a state of confusion, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he understood another truth.

Just as Cui Xiang is a minister of power, isn't Marshal Guo Ning of the Dajin Kingdom also a minister of power?He is willing to canonize Cui Xiang, in fact, to test the wind of the Dajin court for himself!That is to say, Cui Xiang's future is just like Guo Yuanshuai's future. There is a possibility that the two families will help each other and support each other!

He jumped up: "Messenger of the Kingdom, what does the Marshal of your family want? I will fly back immediately and report to my Xiangye!"

"There are two things that require your consent."

"please say."

"First, the Khitan crossed the border to cause chaos. It was not what Dajin wanted. We will send people to deal with it as soon as possible. However, it has nothing to do with Koryo to suppress or appease you. You can't interfere. Two, now Dajin Zhongdu and Koryo Kaijing The sea roads are calm, and the land routes have been opened up. Goryeo should resume the tribute to the Dajin, and the two families are still relatives of the suzerain. Cough cough..."

Li Yun lowered his voice: "There is a third matter, which is a little personal matter of mine."

Cui Junwen hurried up and asked attentively: "What's the matter, just tell me."

"I'm at sea, and I have some small businesses. However, recently, because I offended someone from the Song Dynasty, I have been hindered by the Shipping Department when I entered and exited the Mingzhou port. If you can lend me a group of Korean businessmen's official documents and blank guides , and provide some Korean interpreters, sailors, and flags for passage, then I will be grateful."

The so-called "public certificate" is the identity certificate issued by the government to merchants to verify people, ships, objects, and goods.Since the maritime trade of the Song Kingdom flourished for a hundred years, the specifications of this kind of public certificate have been unified in all maritime countries, and each country has a fixed government office to issue them.The so-called "leading list" is a list of specific shipments of goods.

Issuing official documents and catalogs are important sources of income for Yousi, and it is also the financial support for Cui Xiangguang to recruit three thousand customers.If Xiang Cui was required to hand over a large amount of public documents due to ordinary reasons, it would be no different from robbery, even with a knife on the neck, there is absolutely no reason to allow it.But now this posture...

Dajin's Marshal Guo has such strength, is so fierce, and has the willingness to cooperate with Cui Xiang.If the two can reach an alliance to deal with the Khitans, and then form a tacit understanding of powerful ministers working together, what a wonderful thing it is?For this reason, what is a batch of public documents?
Cui Junwen nodded again and again: "Although the other two matters are both convenient, they still need to be discussed in detail. But official documents, quotations, translations, sailors, flags, etc., are all trivial matters. My family is grand, There is no reason not to allow it!"

"Good! Very good!"

Li Yun laughed loudly, and Cui Junwen also laughed apologetically.

The brave General Jin Mingde's neck was bleeding, and his face that had been cut in half stood on top of the pole, staring down indifferently.
