We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?
Chapter 392: Deterring the Envoys
The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Li Weiyu's voice was too soft for anyone to hear clearly, as their attention was drawn to Matsui.
Lu Dongzan, who was standing by, looked puzzled: "Matsui, what did you just say?"
Matsui's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, trembling as he pointed at the old man, unable to speak for a long time.
He was really scared. This King Feng of Daqing was simply a devil.
In the face of Li Che's previous verbal threats, he was still able to comfort himself with a sense of luck, thinking that Prince Feng was just a vassal king and would not dare to start a war easily without the order of Emperor Daqing.
But now that the King of Goryeo was right before his eyes, he realized how wrong he was.
Japan and Goryeo are across the sea from each other, and Matsui knows Goryeo's strength better than anyone else.
Now, the King of Goryeo has become a prisoner. How can he not be terrified?
If the King leads his troops eastward and out to sea, wouldn't Japan become the next Goryeo?
Thinking of this, Matsui crawled to his feet and, ignoring the doubts of the other envoys around him, knelt in front of Li Che.
He knocked his head hard on the ground, his tone humble and trembling:
"Your Highness, please allow me to report this. I, a humble official from this small country, have never considered becoming your enemy. The envoys' persecution of you just now has nothing to do with me!"
"Shut up!" Lu Dongzan shouted angrily, "Matsui, are you crazy? Have you forgotten how he humiliated you?"
Unexpectedly, Matsui turned around with a ferocious look on his face and shouted sharply, "You should shut up!"
Lu Dongzan was stunned by his shouting, and before he could come to his senses, he heard Matsui screaming at the top of his lungs.
"Do you know who that man is? His name is Li Weiyou, the king of Goryeo!"
"Li Weiyou's presence here means that a powerful nation like Goryeo was destroyed by His Majesty Prince Feng. How can a small nation like us go against His Majesty?"
"Your Tubo is far away and doesn't border Fengguo, so I'm not afraid! But you can't harm my Waguo!"
boom--
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the entire hall seemed to be thrown into a bomb, and it instantly became boiling.
King of Goryeo, Lee Woo?
The prisoner of war brought by King Feng was not an ordinary barbarian, nor was he a barbarian leader or general.
Rather, it was the King of Goryeo, a powerful nation outside the Great Wall, who dragged the previous dynasty into the quagmire of war and indirectly led to the demise of the Huan Dynasty?!
The ministers who were usually calm found it difficult to remain calm at this moment. The chopsticks in the hands of the Minister of Personnel fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The Minister of Rites was stunned, his heart seemed to be gripped, and he made a "ho ho ho" sound from his mouth.
The Minister of Revenue pinched the thigh of the Minister of Works next to him fiercely: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all, this isn't a dream?!"
They stared blankly at the old man in the hall, unable to believe their eyes.
Goryeo...the powerful country that Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty conquered three times but failed, was actually destroyed just like that?
The heroes of war first went into a state of panic, then burst into cheers, and cast fanatical and respectful glances at Li Che.
To destroy Goryeo has been the dream of many famous generals, and today it was realized by a vassal king who was just crowned king for a year!
Military generals don’t think as much as civil officials, they only admire the strong.
The reason why the nobles chose to help Li Che before was because only Feng Wang’s party in the court could tolerate them.
But now it is different. King Feng’s martial virtue is so abundant that even these founding heroes have to admit defeat.
Emperor Qing, sitting on the dragon throne, had a hint of disbelief on his originally majestic face.
He stood up excitedly. Huang Jin wanted to support him, but he pushed him away.
Emperor Qing approached Li Weiyou with the swift steps of a dragon and a tiger, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you the King of Goryeo?"
Li Weiyou said bitterly, "My little prince... no, I, the guilty minister Li Weiyou, pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor of Daqing."
"Haha." Emperor Qing laughed first, then burst into laughter: "Hahahahahaha!"
It might be inappropriate to laugh loudly in front of envoys from various countries and all the civil and military officials, but Emperor Qing no longer cared at this moment.
"Good! Good! Good!" Emperor Qing uttered the word "good" three times in a row, his voice filled with pride and pride. "Che'er is truly a child of destiny, the foremost among all martial arts masters, and the God of War of our Daqing!"
Emperor Qing glanced at everyone in the hall, and seeing the fear on the faces of the envoys from various countries, his smile grew even brighter.
Goryeo's national strength far surpassed those of these small countries. If Daqing could destroy Goryeo, it could naturally destroy them as well.
For a moment, fear spread like a plague, and the envoys looked at each other, their eyes full of horror and panic.
Just as Lao Liu had said to me before, reputation is more memorable than grace.
This deterrent to neighboring countries will inevitably make them feel fearful and buy Daqing's border several years of stable development.
Capturing a king is more useful than holding ten New Year ceremonies!
"Che'er, how did you capture the King of Goryeo?" Emperor Qing smiled from ear to ear and looked at Li Che.
"Your Majesty," Li Che bowed, his voice resonant, "In early winter, civil unrest broke out in Goryeo, and refugees from the borderlands flowed into our Feng Kingdom, begging for asylum."
"Considering the friendship between our neighboring states, I sent an envoy to Goryeo to inquire about the situation. Unexpectedly, the Goryeo king was so arrogant and unreasonable that he brazenly ordered the brutal murder of our envoy!"
"Such behavior cannot be tolerated! I will immediately assemble a hundred thousand troops and march eastward to attack Goryeo!"
"After more than a month of bitter fighting, thanks to the bloody efforts of our Dafeng soldiers, we have repeatedly achieved remarkable success. Our Fengtian army has captured more than 30 Goryeo cities, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and is unstoppable!"
"The Fengtian Army has reached the gates of Liujing City, broken into the city, and captured the King of Goryeo alive. I present this to my father to congratulate him!"
After Li Che finished speaking, all the civil and military officials looked at each other, all of them were shocked by the sudden news and were speechless.
Among the generals, the first one to react was Duke of Wei, Zhu Chun.
His hair and beard stood on end, and he was trembling with excitement. "Great! Great! Throughout my life, my long-cherished wish has been to see Goryeo submit to Daqing. Today, Your Highness has granted me my wish. I will die without regrets!"
He knelt tremblingly and kowtowed to Emperor Qing: "I congratulate Your Majesty, Your Highness, and the Great Qing!"
Zhu Chun's action seemed to have broken some kind of restraint. Civil and military officials all knelt down, and a roar like a tsunami resounded throughout the hall:
"Congratulations to His Majesty, congratulations to the King, and congratulations to the great celebration!"
The sound grew louder and louder like waves, while the faces of the envoys from various countries grew paler and paler.
Emperor Qing was delighted. He stepped forward and personally helped Li Che up, praising him, "Che'er, you are truly the Li family's unicorn!"
Li Che said respectfully, "It is all thanks to the mighty majesty of my father and the loyalty of the soldiers. I dare not take any credit for it."
Emperor Qing nodded slightly: "Don't be too modest. I have remembered your contribution. Tell me, what do you want?"
Li Che raised his head, his eyes sharp as a torch: "Can you ask for anything?"
Emperor Qing smiled and said, "Of course."
Li Che's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Son, please change your fiefdom!"
Emperor Qing's expression suddenly changed: "What did you say?!"
