Chapter 189
The mentality of the kings and ministers of Goryeo is very strange, but it is easy to understand——
If we switch to the Tang Dynasty, during the years when Li Xiaojiu was the emperor, would the so-called envoys of Goryeo have the courage to stand in the Daming Palace and speak loudly? The answer is no, because as long as the envoys of Goryeo dare to speak loudly, Li Xiaojiu will directly let people know
Drag them out and feed the dogs.
After being beaten several times by Li Er and the country being destroyed by Li Xiaojiu, the stickmen learned how to be the grandsons of the Central Plains Dynasty in those years.
But the Tang Dynasty was in decline.
In the decades after the Tang Dynasty fell, the Central Plains has been in chaos. Although it finally returned to the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty's martial arts was really out of line, and its attitude towards Goryeo was also at a low level.
A state of letting things go.
As for the Liao Kingdom, although the martial arts of the Liao Kingdom were once very prosperous, as the Liao Kingdom continued to become Song Dynasty, the military strength of the Liao Kingdom continued to decline, and the threat to Goryeo gradually decreased.
In addition, the Jin Kingdom at that time was just a tribe under the rule of the Liao Kingdom, and more people had to be the grandsons of the Liao Kingdom and Goryeo. With the grandsons, Goryeo naturally expanded.
After experiencing the feeling of being a father, no one would want to be a grandson again.
Just like the 1.3 billion livestock on Asan's side cannot understand why the people of the flower-growing family dare to clamor that the princes and generals Xiang Ning have seeds, the more than one billion citizens of the flower-growing family cannot understand why the more than one billion animals on Asan's side are willing to be livestock.
.
Because the Asan family's more than one billion animals have never been human beings, they will not think about being human beings, and the flower growers who are used to being human beings, except for those who are willing to be stallions, the rest will also not want to be human beings.
livestock.
This metaphor may not be appropriate, but the truth is this. After experiencing the feeling of being a master, but being beaten by Jin Guo, he knelt down and became a grandson. Naturally, the hearts of the Goryeo kings and ministers could not balance--
If you must identify a grandfather, even the weak Song Dynasty who inherited the orthodox name of the Tang Dynasty would be far more acceptable to the kings and ministers of Goryeo than the Jin Kingdom who suddenly became rich.
But the crux of the problem is that the Song Dynasty is still far away from Goryeo, while the Jin Kingdom is too close to Goryeo. As Li Ziqian said: "The Jin Dynasty was a small country in the past, and the Liao Dynasty affected me. Now it has risen violently and destroyed the Liao Dynasty."
In the Song Dynasty, the government and military were strong, and as the sun grew stronger, and it was adjacent to our border, we had no choice but to do something."
Moreover, the political situation in Goryeo itself was quite chaotic.
For example, Li Ziqian, the leader of hundreds of officials, stood on the steps.
The powerful Li Ziqian was the father-in-law of King Ruizong of Goryeo, who was also Wang Gou's grandfather.
but!
Not only did Li Ziqian, as Wang Gou's grandfather, "dictate the country's destiny", he forced Wang Gou to make him a "knowledge of military and state affairs", and he also married his two daughters, Wang Gou's two aunts, to Wang Gou——
If we count from Li Ziqian’s side, Wang Gou and his biological father Wang Mara are still brothers-in-law!
Li Ziqian is so awesome, so naturally the Li family is also a fart.
“The disciples fight over houses and stretch out across the streets, the flames of the war are getting stronger and stronger, they bribe the public, collect gifts from all directions, and collect thousands of catties of carrion, they seize people’s land and fields, and let their servants plunder chariots and horses and lose their own property.
The common people destroyed their cars and sold their cattle and horses, and the roads became chaotic."
In addition, there has been a prophecy in Goryeo that "the twelve (kings) of dragons and grandchildren will be dead, and there will be eighteen sons (Li)", so Li Ziqian gradually came up with the idea of replacing the Wang family; while Wang Gou was busy
To drive a wedge between Li Ziqian and his in-laws, Tuo Junjing.
In short, the court of Goryeo now is more lively than the eight-point ethics drama produced by later generations. Wang Gou, the leader of Goryeo, wants to take power, and Li Ziqian, the leader of the officials, wants to replace Wang Gou, and Li Ziqian
His in-law Tuo Junjing wanted to replace Li Ziqian, and the whole court was like a powder keg.
Nowadays, the Jin Kingdom's raids directly reached Guishun Prefecture, Yichang Prefecture and other places, which happened to be the trigger for the Goryeo Dynasty.
After being silent for a long time, Wang Goucai said in a deep voice: "If you follow the intention of knowing the military and state affairs, then I should hide and shrink my head, sit back and watch the ruins of the country, and the lives of all people are in ruins?"
Li Ziqian was also silent. But Li Ziqian's son, Wang Gou's uncle and brother-in-law Li Zhimei, said: "The Jin country is so powerful that it has to do something. Small things are big, so it has to be done."
"Shameless!"
Monk Miaoqing, who was standing on the same steps as Li Ziqian, shouted angrily: "Are you a minister of Goryeo? Are you a minister of Jin? You, the Li family, lived a long life and were well-off. Since your Majesty knows the military and state affairs of Goryeo and autocrats national orders,
You are supposed to support the king and the country, why do you say such vulgar words!"
Li Ziqian, who was standing opposite Monk Miaoqing, had a cold look on his face, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent when he looked at Monk Miaoqing.
"Since Monk Miaoqing is a monk, why does he stand in the court?"
Li Zhimei snorted coldly and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, Monk Miaoqing should be killed for making false claims about government affairs!"
As Li Zhimei's words fell, the officials of Li's party in the court immediately stood up and bowed together: "I second the proposal! Miaoqing should be killed!"
Li Ziqian, who was on the steps, hummed, nodded with a smile, and then turned his gaze to Wang Gou: "I think that if I don't kill Miaoqing, I won't be able to conquer the world!"
However, Li Ziqian and the Li family members waited for a long time but did not get the answer they wanted. Instead, Wang Gou turned his attention to Li Ziqian's in-law Tuo Junjing.
Tuo Junjing glanced at Li Ziqian who was standing on the steps of His Majesty, with a flash of fire in his eyes, and bowed: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, whether Miao Qing should be killed or not, it is up to the King to decide."
"you!"
Li Ziqian was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Tuo Junjing and shouted, "You have lost your mind!"
Tuo Junjing shook his head and replied: "It's not that I'm crazy, it's that I don't bother to stand in the same court with you guys who have no king and no father!"
After finishing speaking, Tuo Junjing clapped his hands fiercely again and shouted: "Where is the Korean sergeant? I have been ordered to punish the thief and kill Li Ni!"
Li Ziqian looked at Tuo Junjing, then at Wang Gou who was sitting on the dragon chair and the warriors who were filing into the hall. He suddenly laughed wildly and pointed at Wang Gou and cursed: "Since the queen has entered the palace, I wish to give birth to a prince.
When the saint is born, I pray to heaven for eternal life. He will be everywhere. The ghosts and gods of heaven and earth will show me how sincere I am. I will not turn my back on my treacherous ministers today and want to harm my flesh and blood!"
After scolding, Li Ziqian didn't wait for Wang Gou to say anything. He pulled out the sword and placed it across his neck. He sneered, "I'm waiting for you under the Nine Springs. I'll see what you look like when you come to see me!"
With the clang of the sword falling to the ground, Li Ziqian's blood stained the steps, and Li Ziqian's son Li Zhimei and Li Ziqian's party were either dead or surrendered. But Tuo Junjing laughed wildly and walked up the steps, kicking away Li Ziqian's body.
Then he said loudly: "Let us tell you, Your Majesty, Li Ni has been executed!"
Wang Gou was silent.
