Chapter 438 Wang Kai, who wants to cry but has no tears

The country of Goryeo has always been proud of learning Chinese culture.

They not only use Chinese characters, but also respect Confucianism and promote rituals and music.

Taking Han culture as authentic, this idea has been rooted in the minds of the people of Goryeo for a long time.

For them, the Jin Kingdom in the north was a barbarian. Although their military strength was not as strong as the Jin Kingdom, their self-proclaimed culture was definitely more noble than that of the Jin Kingdom.

In their hearts, the representative of Han culture is the most noble in the world.

People who have not been baptized by Han culture are all barbarians.

Noble civilized people disdain to negotiate with barbarians.

Especially for local people like Goryeo, they are very inferior and are even more proud of their learning of the central civilization.

Therefore, Wang Kai's contact with the Jin Kingdom and attracting Jin troops like Goryeo was a kind of spiritual betrayal.

Under the urgency, the scholars and officials of the Goryeo would never agree with their king doing such things.

For example, Miaoqing, although he was a monk, he was also proud of practicing the Buddhism of Middle Earth.

Therefore, he proposed to attack the Jin Kingdom in the Northern Expedition.

In the eyes of people like them, the Northern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom is to conquer the barbarians, and conquer the barbarians is a great merit.

This is the advantage of a powerful civilization.

A powerful civilization can conquer weak civilizations from a spiritual level and allow them to accept core values. If it goes against this core value, they will think that it is barbarism and humiliation.

This is the most basic and greatest advantage of Zhao Huan in conquering Goryeo under such a situation.

As long as Wang Kai dares to affair with the Jin Kingdom, he will be punished with collusion with barbarians, and the legitimacy of the kings of the vassal states will be questioned.

Unless Wang Kai completely denies Han culture in Goryeo, as long as you regard Han culture as orthodox one day, you must separate your relationship with the barbarians.

If the Song Dynasty is weak, if the Central Plains and China are weak, if you have affair with the barbarians in Goryeo, you will naturally have no choice but to do anything to you.

Even if you want to ask about your sins, you can only condemn it from a moral and spiritual level, and it will not have an impact on the form in Goryeo.

But now the Song Dynasty is unprecedentedly strong. If you do this, you will not condemn it from a moral and spiritual level.

The New Year has just passed, and the snow in Kaijing has not melted yet.

Miaoqing and Zheng Zhichang exposed Wang Kai's crime to the world: they had an affair with the Jurchen barbarians, and wanted to subvert Goryeo, and should be killed and a new king was established.

Once this crime was announced, the whole country of Goryeo was shocked.

The traditional scholars and officials of Goryeo regard the Jin Kingdom as a beast and avoid it. Now the king actually has an affair with the Jurchen barbarians.

The Jurchen barbarians did not respect etiquette, did not read sages, or did not wear Hanfu, but were just savages wearing human clothes.

I heard that even the so-called nobles of the Jurchens were unethical and cruel and bloodthirsty.

If Goryeo really interacted with them, it would undoubtedly be a flirting with the tiger.

Within a few days, countless old ministers came to the palace to meet Wang Kai.

Some people even angrily criticized Wang Kai for this as a disaster to the country and the people.

Wang Kai naturally denied it, and he said that this was a conspiracy between Miaoqing and Zheng Zhichang.

For a time, the incident of the king's affair with the Jurchen barbarians was in the Goryeo court.

At night, it started to snow in Kaijing.

Outside the capital, there is a dilapidated temple.

Jiang Shaobin walked into the ruined temple excitedly.

Around this dilapidated temple, there were more than thirty first-class imperial guards disguised as various people, monitoring everything coming and going.

The development of the Imperial City Department in Kaijing began with the trade war between the Song Dynasty and Goryeo. Now there are nearly 100 guards in Kaijing.

Most of them are Song people, but there are also a small number of Korean people.

After Jiang Shaobin went in, he met Zuo Hui, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Office of Jingdong Road.

"Shangguan!"

"Brother Jiang, you have a great contribution this time!"

"It's all the support of Shangguan."

A man tied to the wooden stake on one side was a man who was beaten to pieces. The man was no one else, but Jin Wence, the son of Wang Kai's humeral minister, Jin Fushi.

This morning, in the largest brothel in Kaijing, Jiang Shaobin's people captured this Jin Wence with the fastest and most hidden means, and they unconsciously made it out of the city.

Jin Wence was a middleman from Wang Kai’s affair with the Jurchens. The person who secretly met Wanyan Gao’s messenger was this Jin Wence.

He now confessed the color of the woman's underwear that he was playing with today.

A confession book is placed here in full.

Another registered confession letter was handed to Jiang Shaobin: "I'll find a way to hand this confession letter with Kim Wence to Kim Fushi's mortal enemy Taku Junjing, he will know how to do it."

Jiang Shaobin took over the confession and said, "Yes! Shangguan Don't worry, the day after tomorrow, Tuo Junjing will see this confession and Jin Wence."

Tuo Junjing was a general of the Goryeo Wang Army. When Wang Kai's grandfather Li Ziqian planned to rebel, Tuo Junjing helped Wang Kai get rid of Li Ziqian.

Logically speaking, Takujoon-kyung is the biggest contributor, and the Privy Councilor must be his position.

But now Jin Fushi is in the prime minister, and Goryeo learns the same trick in the Song Dynasty before, suppressing military generals.

This Takujoong-kyung is a military general.

The civil officials led by Jin Fushi have repeatedly suppressed military generals like Taku Junjing, and both sides have long been incompatible.

Although Takujun-kyung is not a good thing, when he saw Kim Wence's confession, he would definitely take the opportunity to move to Kim Fushi in the court.

He also complained about Wang Kai.

It’s just right to take this opportunity to expand your power!

In fact, in the orthodox history, after the Goryeo Miaoqing Rebellion, Goryeo fell into an era when military men became a country. The regime was basically controlled by military men and the royal power was undermined.

Late one night later, Kim Wence, who was covered in wounds, was thrown at the gate of Taku Junjing's mansion, and a Goryeo businessman handed the confession letter to Taku Junjing himself.

Moreover, the Goryeo businessman brought a sentence to Taku Junjing: "Wang Kai violated the holy path and was free from his will. The Holy Emperor had long heard of the reputation of the general, and often mentioned the general to the people of Goryeo to be the people of Goryeo. I hope that the general can revive the Goryeo court and to upright the clear stream."

Takujunkyo was shocked at the moment, but his face was calm and ordered someone to send the merchant out of the mansion.

That night he summoned his generals.

"The king has treacherous ministers around him. We will be grateful to the king and we should be clear to the king!"

The generals said, "Everything is followed by the general's head!"

In the second half of the night, the army in Kaijing suddenly gathered in the palace.

Takujunkyo had Kim Wence and his confession letter, and he had enough confidence and justified the army to question the crime.

Wang Kai, who was awakened, hurriedly summoned Taku Junjing.

"What do you want to do, my dear?"

Takujunkyung ordered people to drag Kim Wence up, and Kim Wence explained everything under Takujunkyung's coercion.

Wang Kai's face turned pale throughout the process, and he wanted to step forward and stab the fat man Jin Wence to death with a knife.

"The king, Jin Fushi had an affair with the Jurchen barbarians, and wanted to disrupt my Goryeo country. I hope the king could order the capture of Jin Fushi and behead him and kill him!"

"this……"

"King! Since my founding of the country, I have respected Zhongdi as the sect leader and established the country with the holy path of Confucianism. This is my country and has nothing to do with the barbarian Juzhen who has no father and mother. In the barbarian land, I am bloodthirsty and cruel. Before Jin Fushi colluded with the Jurchen barbarians. This is a trampling on the holy path!"

Wang Kai's face was ashes.

It wasn't because the dog emperor in Tokyo used Miaoqing to force him that he went to contact the Jurchens.

"This matter is very important. If the Emperor of Song Dynasty asks for guilt, we cannot afford it!"

Wang Kai really wanted to speak up and scold Zhao Huan in front of his ministers, but some words were unspeakable.

You can't let Wang Kai say: Made! That damn Emperor Song is a dead fool! It's just him damn support Miaoqing behind his back, and then he fooled me and said he would send troops, but he didn't move!

You have no evidence!

It is a serious crime for you to insult the emperor like this!

Be careful that the Song army stationed in Goryeo will attack you!
