Chapter 1,743 It’s Not Difficult

Fu Mingxuan smiled and said: "I didn't expect that it was Mr. Da Su who stopped this matter. If Situ hadn't reported it in time, it would have been difficult to do this."

Xue Zhong smiled and said: "Actually, Master is not afraid of Goryeo. He is mainly afraid of Liao. After all, Goryeo is still a common vassal of the two countries. He is afraid that the Liao people will find Situ and, of course, cause trouble for your country."

"When I came here this time, Xijing became more and more prosperous. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the officials were honest, and the soldiers served their lives well. The most gratifying thing is that the little princes are healthy and lively."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is a sign of great prosperity for the royal family."

Fu Mingxuan carefully arranged the shawl. On it was a meticulous painting that Su You asked Li Xinniang to copy using the Kesi method.

The silk bottom is royal blue, with the entire Koryo Peninsula in the middle. There are enlarged cities, reduced mountains, rivers, islands, birds, animals, sailing ships and whales on it, but it is a map of the three thousand miles of Goryeo.

Fu Mingjuan walked forward slowly: "Situ gave me this, are you not afraid that Madam Guo will taste it?"

This question is difficult to answer. Xue Zhong rolled his eyes and said, "I am looking at Li Zhiyi. I wonder if Concubine Xian has heard about it?"

"I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the end of the Yangtze River, Li Zhiyi?"

"Yes, this gentleman is a student of Duke Fan and Confucius. In the eighth year of Yuanyou, Confucius came out of the capital. The scholars were willing to follow half of the imperial court, but they did not dare to invite him. But one day, Confucius said to the court, please use Duan Shu to assist the shogunate.

.”

"Li Zhiyi's wife, Hu Wenrou, has a surname from Jinling in Changzhou. She has a strict nature, likes integrity, has a high self-esteem, and is well-versed in the world."

"I like to discuss things and choose and reject characters without any pretense. It is from Sima Shi of the Six Classics and more to other compilations, and I have learned it from many sources."

"I have calculated carefully that I, Shen Cunzhong, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Industry, has some doubts and will not disturb Situ. When Chen Zhaoming and Su Junjun meet, they will definitely ask Yu Wenrou. He often sighs: 'If you are a man, I will benefit from your friends.'

!”

"The Master was in Beijing, and Li Zhiyi studied there. Wen Rou once encouraged Yi: 'The Master is famous for a while, and reading his books will make people have the ambition to commit suicide and become benevolent. The encounter between you and his good friends'."

"One day the master visited Li Zhiyi, and he smiled calmly. Suddenly, he took official matters to the front, and tried his best to deal with them. Wen Rou sighed from the screen and said: 'I have always said that Zizhan could not get rid of the scholar's talk and the empty prose.

Now that I see how meticulous he is in dealing with the situation, I believe he is a hero of his generation!'"

"The Master also liked Wenrou and often discussed poetry, and he valued her very much. Because Wenrou and Chaoyun studied Tripitaka together, the Master called her the 'Dharma-happy Master'."

"The Master depreciated himself, Wenrou made clothes with trousers, and said: 'I am a woman, and I am known by such people, what regrets can I have?!'"

"Even if Wenrou is like this, Situ often praises the virtuous concubine. She is the emperor Zhangxian of Goryeo. How can a person like Xuanren not be worthy of such a thing?"

"It can be seen that how can the magnificent men and women in the world be restricted by etiquette and law?"

Fu Mingxuan smiled slightly: "I am a very clever person."

Xue Zhong said: "Actually, what Situ means is really not a loss to Goryeo."

"The former king had promised the Song Dynasty to lease the two islands permanently to the Song Dynasty. Even if they were included in the Song Dynasty, it would only be in name only."

"Situ said that even if the two Zhanglu Islands were included in the Song Dynasty, everything would remain as usual. The Song Dynasty would not only protect the existing interests of the Koreans on the islands, but also the interests of the Nüzhi, Japanese, and Liao people."

"That is to say, apart from the name, there is actually no difference."

Fu Mingjuan said: "But Zhanglu Island is too close to my Xijing after all. Xijing is the fundamental place for me and my husband, and I'm afraid there will be some disagreements between the government and the government..."

Xue Zhong whispered: "Empress, among the shawls presented by Situ, which city is the largest? Therefore, the foundation of the Goryeo royal family has always been Kaijing..."

Fu Mingxuan pondered.

Xue Zhong added: "Some things are like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat."

"Everyone who has sailed on Zhangzi Island knows that the direction of the wind waits for no one. If you don't set sail to make a fortune when the wind is smooth and you miss the opportunity, you will have to wait until next year."

There was something in the words, and Fu Mingxuan was already secretly happy. Xue Zhong was hinting that he and her husband would seize the opportunity, and the Song Dynasty would support Wang Yong to become the master of Goryeo!

Just listen to Xue Zhong continue: "In terms of the current situation of the countries, the decline of the Liao Kingdom has appeared, and the female straights have been isolated in the north of the Yalu River. Dingzhou of the Liao people at the mouth of the river, Xuanzhou of Goryeo, and female straights from far away The three cities stand side by side, the Goryeo women are straight, and they are ruled by the Liao people across the river. There is the only remaining connection between your country and the Liao country."

"As long as the Liao people cannot cross the river, Goryeo has no fear of being restrained by the Liao people."

"As for domestic affairs, Duke Ji Lin's visit to the capital to check on his brother's condition was rejected by the Li family for no reason."

"You can't even enter the capital, which shows how afraid the Li family is of Duke Ji Lin."

"If you don't seize the opportunity today, I'm afraid it will turn into internal troubles in the future."

Fu Mingjuan looked at Xue Zhong: "If I hadn't known about the businessman outside the department earlier, I would have thought it was Zhang Liang and Chen Ping in person."

Xue Zhong's face turned red: "How could I have imagined this? As soon as I heard the voice of the parrot, it was... that... empress, you should understand..."

Fu Mingxuan smiled and said: "If it was that person who said it, he wouldn't be like this. I know his character well, and the price he offers is always irresistible."

Xue Zhong nodded: "Yes, and this benefit will be divided into short-term and long-term."

"In the short term... the late king once entrusted Mr. Xiao Shao to promote the royal tomb. At that time, he actually found that there was another excellent place in Xijing, but it had already been occupied, and that was the Mudanfeng Yimi Terrace on the bank of the Datong River."

"After Mr. Xiao Shao returned to China, he consulted many classics and concluded that the place should be Jizi's old mausoleum!"

"What?!" Fu Mingxuan couldn't help being shocked: "Is this serious?"

Jizi was a relic of the late Shang Dynasty, named Xuyu. Because the feudal state was in Jidi, he was called Jizi.

Jizi, Bigan, and Weizi were called the "Three Wise Men" during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Confucius praised them as the "Three Benevolences" in "The Analects of Confucius: Weizi".

King Zhou of Shang Dynasty did not listen to his advice, so Wei Zi left him; Bigan broke his heart and died; Ji Zi pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool, and was imprisoned.

King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, and Jizi did not want the Zhou Dynasty to release him, so he went to North Korea.

After King Wu learned about it, he granted North Korea to him.

King Wu asked Jizi for advice on human ethics, and Jizi wrote a "Hong Fan" to explain to King Wu the principles of ordering the country and the people.

"Hong Fan" is one of the important study classics of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty. Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi and others have monographs on it.

Even if the Wang family does not recognize Jizi as their blood ancestor, as the "first ancestor of civilization" on the Korean Peninsula, his status is unquestionable.

This will definitely be a major event that shocks the government and the public. Once it is discovered, it must be rebuilt, a temple built, and sacrifices made. The king will send the prince and ministers out of the capital to host the ceremony in Xijing. This is the next thing to do.

This gives the royal family many opportunities to operate.

Xue Zhong said: "Mr. Xiao Shao's ability, your Majesty should not have any doubts."

Fu Mingxuan nodded, calculating and calculating in his mind.

Xue Zhong said: "Ji Zi is a great sage from China. The discovery of his ancient tomb in Xijing is also a big event for the Song Dynasty."

"The official said that if Goryeo agrees, he will allocate 30,000 yuan to help the Taibao, build a mausoleum for Jizi, erect a temple, and give Master Yitian 2,000 Zen staffs to strengthen the rituals."

This is blatantly giving money to Wang Yong and arming Yitian, and the reason is very good.

"As for the rest of the matter, there is no need to rely on the power of the Taibao and the Empress, but after the matter is completed..."

"What's Situ's request?" Fu Mingxuan was ready to accept the sky-high asking price. This was the key to victory or defeat. No matter what the request was, she was determined to agree to it first.

Unexpectedly, Xue Zhong shook his head: "It's not a request, and it's not Situ's intention, but it is the official's intention."

"Official officials said that Goryeo and China had similar temperaments and similar culture, so they should have been vassals that the Song Dynasty deliberately supported."

"If any country wants to prosper, the first thing it must pay attention to is talents."

"In the long term, if the Song Dynasty wants to support Goryeo, it must first help Goryeo select talents. If Goryeo is interested, the Song Dynasty agrees to help Goryeo select scholars, send them to participate in the Song Dynasty's scientific examination, and appoint officials according to their talents."

"After the government is over, these people will return to Goryeo to support the royal family."

Fu Mingxuan's heart was agitated. The benefits that Su You had obtained for her were so generous. It was indeed the original style and it was irresistible!

From now on, the advancement of officials from the DPRK and China will be in their own hands!

After controlling the economy, military, and officials, who should belong to Goryeo?

Xue Zhong saw that Fu Mingjun was interested, and secretly felt relieved, but said: "But the Taibao and the empress must also hurry up. If someone else gets this opportunity, they will be making wedding clothes for others."

Fu Mingxuan suppressed the excitement in his heart: "I asked the staff to reply to Situ and said that I already know the meaning. I will ask my husband to express his gratitude to the king and send an envoy to the Song Dynasty. This opportunity must not be missed!"

Xue Zhong bowed and said: "Situ is well aware of your foresight and foresight. Before leaving, he told me that this trip will not be difficult. There is only one thing that needs to be told to your Majesty."
Chapter completed!
