Chapter 197 The sorrow of a small country
After shaking for a long time, Jin Fushi woke up faintly, sighed, pointed at Pu Jingguang and said: "You go. If there is a chance in the future, I will go and bring your parents, wife and children to the Song Dynasty. Wang Gou
It's not good for you to wait, and you won't have to sacrifice your life for him if you wait."
After the suspicious Pu Jingguang left the inn, Jin Fushi reluctantly cheered up and told Pu Chengxing: "When I return to Korea this time, I will look for an opportunity to send your sister, your nephew and others to the Song Dynasty. If you
If you are willing, you can send your wife and children along with you."
Pu Chengxing asked doubtfully: "Isn't that the case?"
"No? Haha."
Reluctantly struggling to stand up from the ground, Jin Fushi gave a wry smile and said: "Younger Wang Gou has mistaken me for going too deep in Korea! I'm afraid that the century-old foundation accumulated by all the generations of teachers in Korea will soon be destroyed by Wang Gou'er!"
Seeing Park Seong-sung still looking confused, Kim Fu-shi sighed again in desperation and asked: "Koryeo was a small country with few people, and was caught between the Song and Jin Dynasties. How should we deal with ourselves?"
"It's a big deal!"
Hearing this question, Pu Chengxing immediately said with confidence: "My brother-in-law has said before that a small country is like a slave to a master. Only by being willing to obey can the ancestral temple be preserved."
Jin Fushi nodded and said: "That's right. But do you know that in a small country, the affairs are big, and there is a taboo that must not be violated?"
"taboo?"
Pu Chengxing scratched his head and said with a confused look: "You never told me this."
Jin Fushi sighed again and said: "A small country is responsible for a big country, just like a slave serving the master. A master hates a slave betraying the master the most!
Let me ask you, what would you do if your domestic slave went behind your back to serve another person of similar status to you? Would you go to that person to seek revenge? Or would you just beat that slave to death?"
Pu Chengxing said: "Of course I will beat that slave who betrayed his master to death!"
Jin Fushi nodded and said: "That's right. You would choose to kill the slave who betrayed his master. How could you know that the officials of the Song Dynasty and the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom didn't think so?"
Pu Chengxing hesitated and said: "Well...it doesn't count as betraying the master, right?"
"It doesn't count?"
Jin Fushi laughed sarcastically and said: "When Wang Gou'er came to the throne, there was a Song envoy to Goryeo. Wang Gou'er 'dressed in purple and wore a jade belt like a wat, danced in obeisance, and showed great respect for ministers'."
Later, when he proclaimed himself a minister to the Kingdom of Jin, Wang Gou'er said, "It's definitely not from the pure heart." He also accused the poet of writing a poem to refer to the Kingdom of Jin as Hu Di.
?'.
Such double-dealing, which was exactly the same as his dealings with the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, really made things difficult for Wang Gou'er. Unfortunately, it was only because he acted like his father in the Song Dynasty and in the Jin Dynasty that he was not favored by either the Song State or the Jin State.
Wait and see. Nowadays, the Kingdom of Jin regards Goryeo as a slave, and they don’t feel any pain at all when they come to Caogu.”
Pu Chengxing nodded half-underlyingly, but hesitantly said: "But...but, brother-in-law, you also said that Goryeo is a small country, and everything is great. No matter whether it is Song or Jin, Goryeo cannot afford to offend.
.If you go by what you are saying now, whether it is to anger the Jin State for the sake of the Song State, or to anger the Song State for the sake of the Jin State, wouldn’t it still be Goryeo that is unlucky in the end?”
"Yes. The unlucky one must be Goryeo. This is the tragedy of a small country."
Jin Fushi sighed and said: "However, no matter whether you completely fall to the Song Dynasty or to the Jin Kingdom, as long as you are loyal to the master and unlucky, the country will not necessarily be destroyed. Like now, he is two-faced and wants to please both sides.
I’m just afraid that the disaster of destroying the country is not far away.”
After a brief pause, which gave Pu Chengxing some time to digest, Jin Fushi continued: "Jingguanzhe, the battle between Chu and Jin began in the Spring and Autumn Period. The Chu State took the lead in it, sealing the corpses of Jin soldiers into mounds. Later, the trend of Beijing temples became more and more popular, because the construction of Beijing temples could "cut off disrespect" and "punish lewdness".
But looking at the history books of the Central Plains, there are many generals who like to build the capital, and there are also many who like to trap and kill the soldiers. But the emperor who likes to build the capital... Since I was studying in Shifa, I only know one official today. Such an emperor, even though he is extremely cruel, must still be the hero of the world.
Perhaps as Park Jingguang said just now, the officials of the Song Dynasty were busy with Luanzhou border market and immigration and reclamation affairs, so they might not use troops against Goryeo for a while. But when the officials of the Song Dynasty were free, how should they deal with Goryeo? Betrayal of the Lord’s country?
No matter what happened between Song and Jin, if the Song Dynasty wanted to conquer and destroy Goryeo, do you think the Jin Dynasty would stop the Song Dynasty?
Not to mention whether the Jin Kingdom still has the ability to stop it, even if it did, how could the Jin Kingdom offend the Song Dynasty for the sake of Goryeo? Not to mention lip-destroying, everyone knows the truth, but who really takes it to heart? "
The more Kim Fu-shi spoke, the calmer he became, but the more Park Seong-sung listened, the more frightened he became. By the time he heard the end, Park Seong-sung's legs had begun to tremble, and the cold sweat on his forehead could not be stopped no matter what.
Park Cheng-sung wailed like a pig and sheep about to be slaughtered, and shouted: "If this is really the case, what should we do?"
Jin Fushi was silent for a long time before he said: "All this is just my family's opinion. Let's wait until I meet the saint before we discuss it."
"Meet the Saint? Is there still a chance to meet the Saint?"
The ashen-faced Pu Chengxing slumped on the chair and murmured: "From Mingzhou to the capital, how could anyone care about us? Now, although the credentials have been handed over to Honglu Temple, no one from the Song Dynasty has come. Looking for us, I'm afraid that as you said, the Emperor of Song Dynasty has long had the intention of conquest."
…
In the palace, He Ji bowed slightly and said: "Wei Chen sent someone to test the country before. Jin Fushi's words clearly meant to sell Goryeo, and he probably planned to sell it for a price. But the man named Pu Chengxing The deputy envoy always had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Later, Park Jingguang met Jin Fushi and reported back. Jin Fushi was so angry that he vomited blood in the inn. He not only cursed Wang Gou for harming the country, but also told Park Jingguang to find his own way out. There was no need to die for Wang Gou. The man was named Pu Cheng. The deputy of sex has no words."
After finishing speaking, He Ji presented a stack of paper in his hand to Zhao Huan's desk, bowed and said: "This is what the spies recorded about the words and deeds of Jin Fushi and Pu Chengxing in the inn."
Zhao Huan hummed, picked it up and flipped through a few pages, then couldn't help but laugh and said: "This Jin Fushi is a sensible person. It's a pity that there is only such a sensible person in Korea.
Forget it, let’s let Jin Fushi leave him alone for a few days, there is no need to send people to test him again. Later, remember to send more people to Goryeo, I want to know what Wang Gou’s child eats every day.”
