Since accepting a complete set of Confucian ethics from the mainland and constructing the entire country with this ethical system, Goryeo has always regarded itself as a small China and regarded itself as the country with the highest status under China. However, suddenly, Goryeo's position had fallen from its original relatively free position to a domineering situation by officials in the Chinese and Korean countries, which was secretly difficult for Goryeo to accept. In particular, they also felt that the upstarts of the Han Dynasty were all vulgar, uninformed, and had a tendency to despise Confucianism, so they were a little disdainful of the Han Dynasty.

However, even with all kinds of dissatisfaction and disdain, Goryeo could only accept it silently because the Han Dynasty was too strong.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, he was able to conquer all directions and sweep away the border. The Jiannu and the Mongolian tribes, which were originally powerful, were beaten to death and ran away without any resistance. In just a few years of their establishment, the Han Dynasty had already built a territory that exceeded the previous Ming Dynasty.

The great martial arts of the great man completely shocked these Goryeo people. Even in Goryeo, they were extremely awe of this legendary emperor. Therefore, even if they were angry, they did not dare to show it and could only endure it silently.

Since you can't resist, then just find a way to please me. If you can please the royal family of China and the Korean Empire, then Goryeo will be valued and the treatment will be better. Many people have this idea. The Goryeo king Li Hui proposed to the Chinese and Korean Empire through him the idea of ​​giving the Goryeo clan daughter to the crown prince as a concubine.

Could it be that His Majesty, the Emperor of the Central Court, summoned me for this? A light of inspiration occurred to Li Ke.

If so, that would be fine…

As the commander of the delegation, Li Ke is happy to see this happen.

With a feeling of relief, Li Ke followed the servants to the Zhongji Hall.

As soon as he came in, he knelt down with the Han emperor who was holding up the imperial throne, and then meticulously carried out the ceremony of the emperor.

"Long live the envoy of the vassal state, Li Ke, to pay homage to the emperor of the Central Dynasty!"

Taking advantage of his tribute, he glanced at the corner of his eyes and glanced at the young man standing next to the emperor.

This young man is tall and has a good face. Although he is not very elegant and handsome, he is very calm and upright, and he can tell that he is a father-in-law.

If we can get the favor of the Chinese and Korean princes, our country can probably get out of dire straits...

"Ambassador Li, I'm working hard today. I'm going to the palace early in the morning." The emperor said a polite word first and signaled to appease the envoy. "I guess you came here early in the morning and didn't eat anything. You must be hungry, right? Well, today I don't care about so much red tape. Tell me quickly and let you rest early."

"It is a great honor for me to be able to attend the New Year banquet of the Chinese and Korean people. There is no need to be any trouble. Please let Your Majesty take a look." Li Ke thanked the emperor seriously.

When he was pilgrimage to the emperor in the past few times, he felt a little slandered by the emperor calling himself "I" and felt it was too vulgar and unwilling. It was indeed from Xuzhou, but after several pilgrimages, he no longer felt any discomfort.

"Actually, this matter is simple..." The emperor's expression was very relaxed, and then he pointed to the prince, "The prince will ask you for help soon, so I'll ask him for help in advance."

Could it be...Is it really necessary for the prince to take the daughter of the Goryeo clan as his concubine? Li Ke was excited.

He knew that it was impossible for the Crown Princess, but as long as the Crown Prince had Goryeo's concubines and they were pleased by the Crown Prince, Goryeo's status would be very different in the future than before, and Li Ke would definitely be rewarded for handling this matter.

"If there is any need for bad things in the country, just talk. The bad things will never be negligent in the slightest way." He sank his head and then loudly replied to His Majesty.

"I understand Goryeo's loyalty. The closest country in the world to China is Goryeo." The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Since you all said that, then I'll just say it..."

Just when Li Ke thought that His Majesty was about to say "Then it depends on the will of your country's lord", he heard something that he was incredible.

"Li Ke, you are a very smart person and are very familiar with the people of Goryeo. Please follow the prince to Goryeo after the New Year and help him deal with matters about Goryeo."

"You... Your Majesty?" After hearing this, even though Li Ke's usual calmness as a scholar-official, his body still couldn't help but shake. "Why... is this?"

He was really scared.

At this moment, what Goryeo's monarch and ministers, especially the royal family, feared the most was that the Han Dynasty was insatiable and it was not enough to seize the current benefits. It also wanted to further control Goryeo in its hands, and even directly abolish the Goryeo royal family and turn Goryeo into the territory of the Han Dynasty.

After years of cultural and educational influence, Goryeo was at this time full of poetry and literature, and fewer of them were able to conquer generals who were good at fighting. They no longer had the spirit of proclaiming themselves to the court and resisting the Central Plains. When the Japanese pirates pirates brigade, they easily occupied the entire territory within a few months. Later, they borrowed the military power of the Ming Dynasty and finally drove away the Japanese pirates. Now at this time, the Han Dynasty is much stronger than the Japanese pirates. Where can Goryeo have the ability to resist? I am afraid that they can only be slaughtered.

It is precisely because of this fear that the Lord of Goryeo tried his best to please the Han Dynasty. Not only did he respect the Han mission, but he even came up with the idea of ​​giving his clan daughter to please the Han court, and he was completely disrespectful.

This is the sorrow that Goryeo, a small country, has been facing the great power of the Central Plains for many years.

However, even though he had reached this point of humility, did the Han Dynasty still not plan to spare us... A trace of sadness suddenly flashed in Li Ke's heart. It seemed that the Li Dynasty's three hundred years of national destiny would be destroyed in the hands of this generation.

However, no matter what, he would not be accomplices for the tiger, and would never bend his knees as a guide to guide the great man into Goryeo. If the prominent Li family is destined to suffer a surprise, start with himself! Such a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

In an instant, all kinds of thoughts came from his head and he became a little lost.

However, the Chinese emperor did not notice his abnormality, but continued, "I will tell you a confidential matter. You must remember to keep it confidential. You are not allowed to mention it to anyone recently. After the negotiations, our dynasty has decided that our dynasty will conquer Japan and borrow Goryeo as a base."

After a moment of silence, Li Ke finally came to his senses and understood the meaning of the Chinese and Korean people.

So... So that's how it is... It's not about destroying my country's reign...

The heart that had been hanging up slowly fell back, and he felt slightly wider, and then he found that there was cold sweat behind his back, almost wet.

"Ambassador Li, what do you think?" Seeing that he had not answered, the emperor urged him to ask.

After the shock just now, Li Ke felt that his spirit was still a little disordered and it was difficult to concentrate on thinking about the problem. However, generally speaking, he still understood that China and North Korea were going to send troops to Japan and use Goryeo land as an attack base.

To be honest, after he realized that he was a little disliked at the beginning, the Japanese pirates landed in Goryeo and plundered the entire territory of Goryeo. They didn't know how many people in Goryeo poisoned and how many blood debts they committed. When they thought about it, they made everyone hate them.

However, after all the hatred, the Goryeo people could not organize a large army to fight back and take revenge. Even the restoration of the country relied on the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, for decades, the revenge of Goryeo could only be suppressed in their hearts.

However, now the Chinese and Korean emperor said that he was going to send troops to attack Japan, so how could this not be a secret pleasure? As long as the Chinese and Korean soldiers attacked Japan, no matter whether they could win or not, they could at least poison Japan and let the Japanese suffer the pain that the Goryeo people suffered back then.

But after being secretly happy, Li Ke immediately replied calm.

Since ancient times, raising troops and fighting wars has cost countless money and food. If China and North Korea want to borrow Goryeo as a base, they will naturally raise money and food from Goryeo. Goryeo is a poor and weak country, how can they withstand such troubles? Besides, if the Han army gathered in Goryeo, God knows how many troubles will happen...

When he thought of this, Li Ke's secret joy was replaced by worry. However, he did not dare to refuse the emperor's request. Such things were not something he could decide.

"Your Majesty's meaning is already understood by the foreign minister. After you go back today, you will definitely write a book in the country immediately to let the king decide. Please rest assured."

His answer did not satisfy China and North Korea.

"Gali is thousands of miles away from the capital. If you want to write books, I don't know how much time it takes to spend? Soldiers are very fast, but our dynasty doesn't have that much time to spend." His Majesty smiled faintly, "Didn't the ambassador say that Gali was the most loyal and respectful vassal state to our dynasty? Why, our dynasty plans to send troops to Japan to make the blood feud of Gali Yixue back then, so why would Gali not want to do it?"

"Your Majesty, the foreign ministers have no intention!" When Li Ke saw the emperor saying so harshly, he was so scared that he quickly explained, "The foreign ministers just said that this matter is very important... The foreign ministers cannot make the decision."

He already understood that the Han Dynasty's court would not give him any choice. They had already decided that they must do this. Now, please be polite and ask, just give the vassal state a face. If they disagree or shirk here, they might turn their backs on the face.

In the Ming Dynasty, I, Goryeo, had never been so humiliated like this... This man really didn't know how much he had ruined compared to the Ming Dynasty. He only regretted that the heaven had no eyes, so he actually allowed such people who deviated from the way of saints to gain the world. He acted so strongly and dominately, without knowing etiquette and righteousness, and not knowing how many lifetimes he could die!

However, even though he was slandering, Li Ke did not dare to express anything, and even his expression could only pretend to be very happy. "My country and Japan have a deep feud. my country and North Korea are willing to raise troops in Japan, which naturally makes us very happy..." Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
