Chapter 618 Haidong Overlord Part 1

"This Jiehe Shang City is right next to the mouth of the Daliao Iron Cavalry. Didn't Daliao think about plundering?"

The conversation between Cha Ge and Xiao Baoen continued, but the voices of the two of them became lighter and lighter, and the language they used changed from Chinese to Khitan.

"Corption?" Xiao Baoen's voice was still unmoved, but he thought to himself: "Corption is a big deal!" Xiao Baoxian, Xiao Fengxian, and Xiao Sixian's three brothers don't know how much they have been harvested from Jiehe Market every year! Unless Song and Liao broke up and started a war, it is impossible to plunder... For the sake of Xixia, it is even more impossible.

Moreover, the Krei tribe of the Bu Bu has been a little uneasy recently. Mogus's son Huerzahusi has now firmly placed in the Khan position and is preparing to raise an army to continue with the Daliao... It's really endless! Why can't these Bu Bu Bu Bu guys live a good life?

Brother Cha didn't know how capitalism corrupted people's hearts, so he gave Xiao Baoen a tip: "Jiehe Market is very prosperous now! How come the merchants who do business have hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, right? Isn't it too little to only give 50,000 yuan to Daliao?

If the Great Liao army was on the rise when the Northwest War broke out, how could the Liao army force the Jiehe Shangshi to increase the tribute to the Liao Dynasty? It shouldn't be a problem to increase the amount of 100,000 silver and silk a year?"

Xiao Baoen nodded slightly, but thought to himself: Xixia is poor! The king's younger brother probably has never seen a big money, and he thought 100,000 silver silk was a great big money... In fact, the wealth of Jiehe Market is so unthinkable that these poor people could not imagine! The money in Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple's own warehouse is almost 100,000.

Can this "severe troops come"? You also have to plunder... What if you confiscate the Daxiangguo Temple in Jiehe?

"In addition," said Cha Ge, "My king is still very sincere in marrying the Great Liao Dynasty. If we can channel the daughter of the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty, then the Liao and Xia countries can fight against the Great Song Dynasty together in the future... Even if the Great Song Dynasty really has a Tian Khan, we are not afraid."

This is something you can consider! Xiao Baoen thought to himself: Although the emperor has no daughter suitable for marriage, there are women in the royal family who can get married. Just choose a beautiful princess to marry Qianshun. Maybe it can scare the Song people...

Anyway, just be fooled, don't really fight.

Now the Great Liao Kingdom is in a lot of trouble. Not only is the Kelie tribe in the northwest Shubu again going to make trouble, but the war between the Korean and Nao Ren in the northeast is also on the verge of being a loss-making loss, or will a Haidong overlord be decided soon? Who can tell now?

Why did the Great Liao Kingdom have to set up heavy troops on Tokyo Road and be ready to stab or rescue the girl in the back at any time?

In addition, there was a great uncle, Xiao Haili, who was inexplicably involved in causing trouble. He raised dozens of desperate people around him. He usually showed his power and rushed around, ransomed, extorted people and even set fire. The Liao Dynasty court wanted to arrest him and questioned him, but he actually gathered up to revolt, pulled up thousands of troops, and once captured Qianzhou of Liao, seized a large number of weapons and fled to the Aidian tribe for refuge. He also sent people to contact the leader of the birth of the daughter Wanyan Yingge to rebel together!

Fortunately, Wanyan Yingge did not respond and expressed his willingness to help the Liao Kingdom fight against the thief, and requested to recruit thousands of soldiers.

After repeated weighing, Yelu Yanxi agreed to Yingge's request and asked Wanyan's troops to purchase thousands of armor on Tokyo Road... I don't know if Wanyan's troops can destroy Xiao Haili and fight with the Koreans to the death?

...

The aroma of rice and broth is floating above Kaijing, the forest-style capital of Goryeo, a powerful country. This is not the rice and broth for a few two nobles, but the rice and broth that are gathered in Kaijing. More than 100,000 Korean soldiers gathered in Kaijing.

If you stand on the tower of the Full Moon Palace, you can see a huge city with smoke surrounds everywhere. Countless large iron pots imported from Haizhou of the Song Dynasty are stewing various meats that the Korean people like most, including wild boar, venison, bear, tiger, mutton, and dog meat. However, beef, horse, donkey, and human meat are definitely not available. The above four animals are protected in the current Koryo country and cannot be slaughtered and eaten at will.

In addition, the rice has been cooked! It is not corn, but real rice cooked, which is so fragrant! It makes a group of Korean soldiers and elite soldiers who are waiting for the meal to drool.

It was time for the army to set sail north to fight the Jurchen barbarians tomorrow morning, so the king was kind enough to give everyone a full meal. There was broth, rice, and kimchi. Among them, rice and kimchi were full.

So happy! Long live the king...

"According to the "Story of Heavenly Rules", does it mean that there is the law of heaven first, and then there is all things in the world?"

"That is, everything comes from the laws of heaven, and everything is only one laws of heaven!"

"Then is also created by nature?"

"Yes! People are the masters of all things, and they are naturally based on the laws of nature."

"So do people have souls after death? Where did the soul go?"

"The law of heaven and man is one. The heaven and earth are all things and man are unified in the law of heaven, and are all born from the law of heaven, and finally return to the law of heaven."

"That is, after a person's soul returns to the law of heaven?"

"No, the law of heaven and man! People are originally in the law of heaven and earth. All things in the world originate from the law of heaven. Humans are part of the law of heaven. Life and death are just different forms of existence. Therefore, people must act according to the law of heaven, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and trust..."

The ones who talked about the principles of nature in the Tianmantai royal city were Wang Yong, the king of Goryeo and Su Shi, the Japanese envoy sent by Yuntai Academy.

Today is the day when Wang Yong gave food to reward the three armies, and it is also the day to see off the Song Dynasty mission. In addition to Tong Guan, the military conscript who visited him and some military officers who followed him, the rest of the mission members will leave Kaijing this afternoon.

The members of the mission left had two destinations. Liu Kui would lead most of the mission back to Song State. Su Shi would lead the remaining people to spread the Confucian principles of nature to Japan!

The matter of going to Japan to preach the laws of nature was surprised by Wang Yong, Lin Gan, Yin Guan and others who were familiar with Confucian classics.

The arrogant barbarians in Japan have been in closure for almost two hundred years. Foreign envoys are rejected when they go. Will they accept the Confucian missions of the Song Kingdom to preach?

Driven by curiosity, Wang Yong and others were like a delegation asking for "Theory of Heaven and Rules" and went back to study it.

After some research, the Goryeo monarch and ministers were divided into two factions. The Goryeo Jinshi, who were about to lead troops to fight, were both the Goryeo Jinshi and the Goryeo Jinshi who were about to lead troops to fight, both believed that the "Story of Heaven" was correct!

There must be laws of nature! There must be human desires!

If it is unreasonable, why can you become two noble court officials? If there is no human desire, why would those untouchable soldiers shout long live the broth for rice? This is human desire! Can yellow rice (corn) fill your stomach the same as kimchi? It is not much different from rice and broth?

Therefore, it is natural for me to be two important officials in two classes, and my descendants have been two important officials in two classes for generations! And the untouchables must destroy the desires of people who want to eat rice and broth every meal, and they all farm and pay the rent!

In addition, there are a lot of monks and nuns in Goryeo now! They occupy so much land and build so many temples... This is unreasonable? Should the temple be demolished and the land is divided among two nobles, so that all monks and nuns can return to secular work?

However, King Wang Yong of Goryeo did not believe in "Theory of Heaven". Why did one destroy human desires by preserving the laws of heaven? Why is morality the laws of heaven? Why is "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and trust" the laws of heaven? Why can't the brother like his sister? Of course, this is not the main reason why Wang Yong opposed the laws of heaven, because Wang Yong did not marry his sister, and his wife's surname was Liu.

But his throne was usurped! This is a great human desire! His nephew Wang Yu is a good king. He colluded with Prime Minister Shao Taifu, and General Wang Guomao launched a coup to overthrow. He was first undermined, then forced to give way, and then died inexplicably at the age of 14... It is definitely against the law of nature to do this in a bad way, unkind and unrighteous way, and not polite or believe.

Although Wang Yong didn't know how much incense he burned and how many sutras he recited to make up for his sins, it was absolutely impossible to kill people and hand over the usurped throne!

So Wang Yong still believed in Buddhism. At worst, he could build a few more pagodas and temples and raise more monks and nuns to help chant scriptures.

However, Wang Yong, who doesn't believe in "Theory of Heaven", doesn't care much about this matter.

Moreover, Wang Yong knew that Su Shi was Su Dongpo's nephew, and knew that Su Dongpo was now valued and became the deputy prime minister. So after asking a few questions, he said to Su Shi: "Japan is a barbarian country. The king of the country calls himself the emperor and is extremely arrogant. You must be cautious everywhere when going here and don't annoy the barbarians on the island over there."

"King Xie reminds me that the little envoy understands."

Wang Yong nodded, "Let's do this, I send the Gumen to wait for the envoy Yin Yanchun (this person is Yin Guan's son and married Wang Yong's sister-in-law) to accompany you to Hakata in Japan."

"Thank you, the king."

Su Shi hurriedly thanked.

During his days in Kaijing, he continued to spend money on his life and made friends with a group of officials from Goryeo. Among them was Yin Yanchun, the son of Yin Yan, and he also promoted the advantages of "Theory of Heaven and Rules" to Yin Yanchun, and persuaded Yin Yanchun to send his concubine's son to study in the Yuntai Academy of Song Dynasty... In short, he and Yin Yanchun have long been good friends, and they are not worried about encountering resistance from Yin Yanchun on their way to Danluo.

Moreover, when he left Haizhou, Wu Haogu had already taken care of it. The Song Dynasty admitted that Danluo belonged to Goryeo. Whether it was a vassal or a county, the Song Dynasty did not care about it.
