820 We Are All Family One
When Cui Xian was taken to Gao Min, the Lord of Danluo Star, he was no longer afraid.
It's nothing more than death!
Death is as heavy as Mount Tai, as light as a feather. He is now dying for the king and loyal to the country. Of course, he is as heavy as Mount Tai. What should I be afraid of? So on the way to be carried over, he has already thought of all the poems that have been remembered for generations, and is waiting to repay the king when he dies in a difficult situation. But the enemy does not want him to die!
"Mr. Haidong! You are so wronged!"
The one who came to comfort him with a smile was a doctor from Yuntai Academy, a sinister villain Fan Zhiwen who knew people and didn't know his feelings.
"snort!"
Cui Xian just snorted coldly, with a righteous and cold face. "If you want to kill, you should kill, why bother to say more?"
When Fan Zhiwen heard this, he sighed softly: "Why should Mr. Haidong be determined to die? The situation is not out of control now..."
Can this situation be cured? Cui Xianheng glanced at Gao Min, the Lord of Danluo, who was sitting high on the throne. If it were a few days ago, his cold eyes would be enough to make Gao Min scared for several days. But now, how could this Lord of Danluo be a little scared?
"Gao Min," Cui Xian said loudly in Gaoli's words, "Don't think that you can rebel with the support of the Song people. When the king sends troops to attack you and takes you, you will inevitably have to cut you into pieces!"
"Hmph!" Gao Min was not showing weakness, "I have the help of the Song Dynasty, and it is no problem for me to be a mere Goryeo!"
"Haha, the Song Kingdom can also be considered the Celestial Empire?" Cui Xian sneered, "Even the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun can't be taken back... If there is a Celestial Empire, it is also the Great Liao! The Great Liao is the sect leader of the Goryeo!" He glanced at Fan Zhiwen, "You are now using deceit to seize Danluo. Once our lord asks for troops to help from the Great Liao, even if your entire national army is here, it will be a dead end!"
"Mr. Haidong, don't talk nonsense!" Fan Zhiwen still had a kind smile on his face, "The Song Dynasty has never taken over the Danluo Kingdom... We are not officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, the Danluo Kingdom is still a vassal state of Goryeo. The vassal state of Goryeo is unwilling to be annexed by Goryeo. This Great Liao Kingdom is not easy to control, right?"
What? Danluo or a vassal state of Goryeo?
Cui Xian was stunned and looked at Gao Min again.
Gao Min smiled and said, "I serve King Goryeo with his ministers, just like King Goryeo serves Emperor Khitan with his ministers!"
In fact, Gao Min wanted to surrender to the Song Dynasty, and he also gave some gifts to give flowers. However, the current international situation in Northeast Asia can temporarily make Danluo a vassal of the Song Dynasty. Because the Song Dynasty could not yet break up with the Goryeo Kingdom, this would be detrimental to Jiehe Shangshi seeking concessions in the Goryeo Kingdom.
"You, you Danluo wants to be the same as our Goryeo?" Cui Xian was a little amused and crying.
No matter how you say that Goryeo is a powerful country in Haidong, and three major battles with the Khitan in history lasted for decades before they could create a situation where they were on the surface but actually lived their own life.
But why is Danluo State? It defeated its more than 700 infantry with the troops of the Song people? It really needs to be fought, and it has just begun now!
"How do you say 'We Goryeo'," Fan Zhiwen interrupted with a smile, "Mr. Haidong and Gao Xingzhu are both Han people, not Goryeo, we are just a family!"
Cui Xian snorted and said to himself: Of course I am a Han Chinese, the Cui family of Boling, the five surnames and Qiwang, the big gentry... Although you, Fan Zhiwen, are not a thing, are also a Han Chinese. But Gao Min is just an island barbarian, why did he become a Han Chinese?
Gao Min knew what the corrupt scholar was thinking when he looked at the expression on Cui Xian's face, and immediately said, "Although I am an island barbarian, I have entered China, so I am a Han person! Although Cui Xian is from the Boling Cui family, you have joined Goryeo where you are a brother and sister. Do you still have a Han person?"
Brother and sister went on a blind date... This is a bit harsh! Even though Cui Xian did not recognize himself as a Han Chinese, his ancestors were great scholars known as Confucius in Haidong, and Confucian etiquette and law cannot be abandoned.
In his opinion, intermarriage among the Goryeo royal family was like a beast...
"Star Master, don't say that to Mr. Haidong," Fan Zhiwen advised, "Mr. Haidong has been abiding by etiquette and law for generations, and there is no blind date for brothers and sisters."
Cui Xian was a little amused. Fan Zhiwen and Gao Min were really a bit like a pair of live treasures. They didn’t know how big a hornet’s nest they had just poked!
Fan Zhiwen smiled and said to Cui Xian: "Mr. Haidong, don't be afraid. This time, I will not take your life. I will feel wronged on Danluo Island for a while. When the southeast wind rises, I will send you to the Central Plains. Mr. Chongdao has something to discuss with you."
It is winter now, and the sea is filled with northeast winds, northwest winds and north winds. They can only go south along the wind direction, but cannot go to Jiehe Shangshi in the northwest direction, and they can't go to the Goryeo in the northeast direction.
Therefore, the changes in the sky on Danluo Island will not be known for the time being. At least after next spring, when the southeast wind gradually rises, there will be ships leaving Danluo Island to report to Wangluo. After Wanglu gets the news, it will take at least a few months to form a navy army and wait for the north wind before it can go south to Danluo.
Therefore, Gao Min, the Lord of Danluo Star, and Fan Zhiwen, the leader of the Danluo Preaching Group, have time to rectify the defenses on Danluo Island in order to welcome the possible war!
...
At the same time, Wu Haogu, who was in Jiehe Market, didn't know that Danluo Island was already his territory, and he didn't know that Jiehe Market had not obtained the concession in Haizhou, Goryeo, but got the entire Jueying Island near Busan Pu, Jueying Island is located in the bay of Busan Pu, with an area of about 15,000 acres, which happened to be "for the Liao Kingdom" as a concession.
If you can successfully take over Jueying Island and add your actual control over Danluo Island, Wu Haogu can further open up Japan's national gates.
However, in late December of the fourth year of Jianzhongjingguo, Wu Haogu did not have the position of Goryeo, Japan or even the Danluo Kingdom in his mind. Because he was busy with another major event, the great event was that Princess Cheng'an of the Great Liao Kingdom, Yelu Nanxian, married Zhao Qianshun, the King of Xiping of the Great Song Dynasty.
This is a major event between the Song and Liao dynasties and Xiping, and even involves the Black Khan Uighurs, Seljuk Turks and Baghdad Caliphs. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a major international event!
For Jiehe Market where Wu Haogu is ancient, the marriage between Zhao Qianshun and Yelu Nanxian can greatly ease the previous tense relationship between Song and Liao, and make everyone feel at ease to do business.
Moreover, the marriage between Zhao Qianshun and Yelu Nanxian can itself lead to a large-scale transaction of at least one million yuan in the bank monk Zhishen and Pan Xingye of Daxiangguo Temple in Jiehe. More than a month ago, they followed Wu Haogu's order to go north to Xijin Prefecture to meet with Yelu Nanxian and Zhao Anhui, the envoy who welcomed the bride of King Xiping.
Zhao Anhui was the former Xixia Grand Tutor, Ling Weiming Anhui. Now he is the chief magistrate of the Hexi Jiedu and the chief officer of the Jiedu, and that is, the head of the civil servants of the Hexi Army. After Weiming Ganshun recognized Zhao Ji as his father, all the "royal relatives" of the Xixia surnamed Wei changed their surnames to Zhao. However, they only had the surname Zhao, not royal relatives.
In the Hexi army, Zhao Ganshun, the one who was qualified to be his son for Zhao Ji, was the only one who was qualified to be Zhao. Even the Jiedushi Zhao Cha Ge was only the surname Zhao, not Zhao Ji's son.
...
"I am the commander of the coastal market commander Wu Haogu, who was ordered to accompany him. The office was ready, but I asked His Royal Highness the Princess to move forward and relieve the labor of the journey. However, if you have the need, I should try my best to satisfy you!"
Outside the northern city of Jiehe Shang City, on the newly built official road by the Jieguan Pavilion. A group of civil and military officials from the coastal Maritime Bureau wearing various official uniforms stood happily on the road to welcome Yelu Nanxian, Princess Cheng'an from the Liao Kingdom.
A carriage was surrounded by a group of Khitan and Xiping Army warriors, and stopped in front of Wu Haogu and others.
Two women walked out of the car. One looked about 10 years old and dressed as a Khitan woman. Her appearance was pleasing to the eye, but not stunning. The other was a girl dressed as a Han Chinese. She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a very beautiful appearance, like a fairy, and her temperament was even more dignified and noble.
I don’t know which of them is Princess Cheng’an? Wu Haogu looked at the two women and thought to himself: If that woman in her twenties was Princess Cheng’an, then Zhao Ganshun would lose money...
"I recognize you, you are so ancient painting of Shengwu!"
The young woman suddenly pointed at Wu Haogu and shouted happily, her voice as pleasant as a silver bell.
Wu Haogu was stunned when he heard this. Who is she? How could she recognize me? Could she have come to Jiehe Market?
Before Wu Haogu could react, the Liao Dynasty's bride sent-off envoy was already forward and sang a fat look to the woman: "Your Highness, the Wushuo of the Song Dynasty, please rest in the inn in Jiehe Shang City."
It turns out that she is Princess Cheng'an and Zhao Ji's daughter-in-law...
Wu Haogu took a step forward, bowed his hand again, and smiled: "Your Highness, have you and I ever met?"
Princess Cheng'an and Wu Haogu Yifu, "Wu Shuaisi, you and I have never seen you before, but I have seen your portrait in Yuntai Academy."
As expected, she came to Jiehe Shang City. Wu Haogu's portrait was hanging in the Yuntai Academy of Jiehe Shang City. He was a great scholar, so naturally he wanted to let the students know what he looked like.
"Wu Shuaisi, can you draw a piece of paper for me later?"
Princess Cheng'an was obviously more interested in Wu Haogu's painting skills, so she actually asked to paint in person.
"Princess, this is not in accordance with etiquette..." The Khitan woman who followed Princess Cheng'an spoke at this time.
"It's not inconsistent with etiquette," Wu Haogu interrupted with a smile, "I used to be a painter in the palace and painted it for the empress dowager, the empress and the princess."
Now is the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is not the era of "preserving the laws of nature and destroying human desires". Men and women are not as good as "preserving the laws of nature and destroying human desires". Most of the era of "preserving the laws of nature and destroying human desires" will not exist, because Wu Haogu's "Personal Theory" and "Reasonal Theory" are more widely circulated than "Theory of Heaven". Under the criticism of positivism and rationalism, Neo-Confucianism is just a hypothesis.
