Chapter 620 Digging a hole and burying it at the same time
Xia Xun left and came back. Zhu Di came back from Baoding that night and was quite surprised when he saw him. When he heard Xia Xun explain the reason, Zhu Di was very moved and asked if everything in Liaodong was handled properly and it wouldn't affect the overall situation if he didn't go back for the time being.
Then he was allowed to stay. Xia Xun proposed to seek help from the local gentry in Beijing in his own name to find relevant evidence, and Zhu Di acquiesced.
However, in Zhu Di's original intention, he still hoped to resolve the dispute through the authorities. However, Zheng He rushed to Huaixi. First, because he was going to the old residence of Chen Shou's friend, he missed it, and then asked his neighbors.
After inquiring all the way to his good friend's house, the news about Chen Shou had arrived. The family named Li only said that the original copy had been lost long ago. Zheng He had no choice but to return to Beijing.
During this period, the friends Chen Shou found were at their wits' end. Some of them were indeed not proficient in this area of knowledge, and some were not completely ignorant, but they were all famous people, either local officials or local celebrities. , just as Huang Zhen advised Xia Xun, one more thing is worse than one less thing. If you take the initiative to come and argue with the North Korean envoys, but lose, won't you have to bear this eternal infamy? Why bother?
These people have status and status, so they cherish their feathers even more. Based on the code of conduct that more is worse than less, these gentlemen wisely chose to stay away from the dangerous wall.
Chen Shou was disappointed when he did not invite any reinforcements. Zhu Di was also disappointed when Zheng He sent the news back. He had no other choice but to ask Xia Xun to invite those so-called celebrities in Beijing that no one had heard of.
Zhu Di sent people to summon Liu Songgeng, the judge of the North Korean envoy, and told him that there are several local celebrities in our court who have great objections to what the North Korean envoy said, and ordered them to debate before the king. If what Liu Songgeng said is reasonable, refute it.
After receiving a distinguished figure from Beijing, the designated territory and population east of the Yalu and Tumen rivers will naturally belong to North Korea. If not, he should be asked to go back alive and send an edict to the King of North Korea, so that there will be less trouble in the future.
Liu Songgeng was also aware of the predicament of the Ming Dynasty's monarchs and ministers before. Now the officials have no choice but to bring out a bunch of celebrities from Beijing. I came prepared, can they defeat me?
Liu Songgeng was so confident that he immediately cheered up, rolled up his arms and sleeves and went straight to the palace.
Xia Xun has already brought the people here. After a thorough research with the people he asked, they finally gathered together and invited four people to represent them.
Before they rushed to the palace, Xia Xun had already learned about the information they had and conducted some screening.
For example, when a master named Hualiang met Xia Xun, he twirled his long beard and said slowly: "According to legend, the first of the three emperors and the first of a hundred kings, Emperor Taihao had the body of a dragon and the head of a human..."
Xia Xun immediately took him
He passed by and said to him politely: "Old sir, Emperor Fuxi is an ancient figure, and he deserves to be the person he is. It's just that it's too long ago, and most of his genetic deeds have been cast into myths. It's difficult to have reliable evidence for many things.
, once you raise it, you will be easily questioned, so don’t say it anymore!”
Old Master Hua retreated, and another old man named Zeng Ting popped out. The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his long beard with his hands, and his face was as red as if Guan Gong was alive. He stood there proudly, his feet were uneven, and he said loudly
: "It is said that in those days, King Mu of the Zhou Dynasty rode eight dragons: one was a warrior, who did not touch the earth; two were flying feathers, flying over birds; three were running for the night, traveling thousands of miles at night; four were super shadows, traveling day by day..."
Xia Xun was dumbfounded and thought: "Could this old Mr. Zeng be a storyteller in the past?"
No need to ask, this person was also
Ass, he finally went to Wu Jianjing and brought to the imperial court four people named Li Yetian, Wu Qingyu, Wang Yi, and Yan Chao. What these four people said still made some sense and seemed to be used as evidence.
Xun then asked them to prepare carefully, bring as much evidence as possible, and rush to the palace to see the emperor.
These people usually talk loudly and play tricks, as if the King of Heaven and I are first and he is second. They still look calm in front of Xia Xun. Unexpectedly, once they see the real Dragon Emperor, each of them turns pale in face and lips.
They were green, and their legs were shaking. When Xia Xun saw their character, how could he reason with them?
Later, Zhu Di was considerate and moved to Dongnuan Pavilion. He sat in the cabinet himself, removed ten screens of ladies fluttering butterflies, and put down a bead curtain between the inside and outside. The four folk textual research experts did not look like the emperor.
Only then did he gradually calm down.
When he heard that Liu Songgeng and Liu Judgment had arrived, he looked at the appearance of these four people and felt contempt for them. Although Xia Xun had changed their robes, he could not pretend to be confident. Liu Songgeng took a look and said,
Some looked down on them. Liu Songgeng glanced at them contemptuously, bowed to Zhu Di inside the curtain and said, "My little minister Liu Songgeng has met the Holy Emperor!"
Zhu Di coughed and said to Liu Songgeng: "What happened in Liaodong that you mentioned earlier is indeed not recorded in the Liao and Jin classics in the government collection. Chen Shenzheng remembered that he had a good friend who had a copy of the Jin Dynasty's "Geography" in his family collection.
The above records are somewhat detailed, but unfortunately, because the family moved around, the original property has been lost..."
When Liu Songgeng heard this, he smiled slightly. He knew full well that this was just Zhu Di's excuse. He had read the geographical records of the Liao and Jin dynasties verbatim. If he didn't know it well, how would he dare to come to the Ming Dynasty?
Showing his embarrassment, what does the emperor say now that he has betrayed him?
Zhu Di coughed again and said: "Since there is no evidence, I should follow the previous rules and seal those territories and their people to North Korea. However, several Confucian scholars in Beijing heard about this and had their own opinions. I have experienced it.
I have to ask them, so I summoned them and asked them to argue with you. If it makes sense, this land cannot be given away. If it doesn't make sense, I will not delay any longer and will issue an edict to seal it as promised.
Grant."
Liu Songgeng immediately kowtowed again and said: "I thank the Emperor. I would like to discuss it with all the famous people in Beijing!"
Liu Songgeng got up, glanced at the four people, and said loudly: "Liu asked the Holy Emperor, and there are no relevant records in the historical records of Liao and Jin Dynasties about the places and tribes mentioned by Liu. This can prove that what Liu said
Tell me, do you four have any objections to this?"
The four of them looked at each other, and Li Yetian took a step forward, pretending to be disdainful: "Liao and Jin were barbaric countries, and the so-called "Geography" of Liao and Jin was not long ago.
It’s a superficial thing, but the details are unknown. Even if it’s detailed, it’s mostly based on hearsay, so what kind of evidence can it be?”
Liu Songgeng was slightly shocked. He had originally drawn a circle for Mingchen, but the textual research was limited to the Liao and Jin dynasties. Those nerds had a plan. They just wanted to record and find evidence from these two dynasties. Why did these four people in front of them
But a little unconventional?
Liu Songgeng quickly changed his mind and said: "If the historical records of the Liao and Jin dynasties are not enough, how can we still research the Khitan, Xiongnu, and Turks..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Qingyu laughed loudly and interrupted him: "That's nonsense!"
As they entered into the debate, the four people gradually calmed down, and their nervousness was replaced by their desire to perform in front of the emperor. The four extremely anxious people began to get into the mood gradually.
Wu Qingyu sneered and said: "During the Xiongnu, Turkic and Khitan times, they were just some nomadic tribes. Their leader was called a khan. They used felt tents as palaces and lived in no fixed place. They moved around in pursuit of water and grass. At that time, they were nomadic at all.
It’s not a country, and it’s even more uneducated. How can we get any books or seals?”
Liu Songgeng was not annoyed. He smiled slightly and said, "Oh? So, sir, where do you think you can find the evidence?"
Wu Qingyu said proudly: "In our dynasty's "Historical Records of Song Weizi Family" and "Shang Shu Da Zhuan Hong Fan", King Wu of Zhou destroyed Yin and Zhou, and King Zhou's uncle Jizi crossed the sea to the dynasty and established the Jizi Hou Kingdom. Your country
The "History of the Three Kingdoms" written by the monk Yiran is also recorded, and it is also mentioned that Jizi established his capital in Pyongyang at that time. Today, North Korea advocates white, which is a legacy of the Shang Dynasty.
During the Han Dynasty, the Yan people Wei Man led more than a thousand people to rebel against the Han Dynasty. They were defeated and entered the dynasty. They seized the throne and established themselves. Then they established the Wei Dynasty. During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because the Wei Man Dynasty was against the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to destroy them and put the Wei Dynasty to death.
The territory of Manchuria was divided into four counties, namely: Lelang County, Xuantu County, Zhenfan County, and Lintun County, collectively known as the "Four Han County", all under the direct jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Wu Qingyu sneered and said: "Youzhou of the Han Dynasty has ten counties under its jurisdiction: Zhuojun, Guangyang, Daijun, Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong, Xuantu, and Lelang.
The seventy-eight counties, except for the land of Three Koreas, are all under the direct jurisdiction of our country. I want to ask you, even Korea was founded by the people of the country, so where is the absurd statement that the land of Liaodong belongs to Korea?"
The Land of Three Hans refers to the current South Korea area, which is the settlement area of the three major tribes of Mahan, Chenhan, and Benhan living in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. The Land of Three Hans is the inherent place where the residents of the Korean Peninsula live, even
The northern part of Korea was also under the direct jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty at that time, not to mention the west of the Yalu River and the Tumen River. Zhu Di and the soldiers were immediately refreshed after hearing this.
Liu Songgeng was calm and said with a smile: "What I said is indeed true! However, when Jizi came to the dynasty, didn't North Korea have its own people? Jizi's entry into the dynasty brought about primitive civilization and farming.
, Silkworm rearing, weaving, bronze smelting and other skills were deeply admired by the local people of Korea, so they supported him as the king. It was Jizi who entered the court and became the king of the Korean people, not the barren land where Jizi went.
Zi and his entourage multiplied and multiplied, leading to today's Korea. This cannot be understood.
During the Tang Dynasty, Qiu bearded guests became kings overseas. Could it be that that place naturally became the territory of the Tang Dynasty? Such a theory is really absurd! As for the Weiman Dynasty to replace it, the form was different, but the meaning was generally the same. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty raised troops because the Weiman Dynasty was against the country,
Regardless of the reason, is it any different from the Mongol and Yuan Dynasties who relied on force to plunder and plunder, regardless of the reason? When the Han Dynasty falls, isn't it natural for the Xian people to reestablish their own country?"
Xia Xun didn't expect a debate in the first place. Instead, he asked Li Fangyuan to divide the Korean peninsula in two and return half of it to the country. He wanted Li Yesian first. Wu Qingyu said this because he had an ulterior motive.
Liu Songgeng was good at digging holes for people, so why wasn't he Xia Xun good at digging holes for people? He dug one hole and filled the other until Liu Songgen choked to death. Now the first hole should be filled.
Xia Xun clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Liu Panshu said it well. In this way, the former king of Korea, Li Chenggui, was originally the eldest son of the thousand households in Ordong of the Yuan Dynasty and the eldest son of Dalu Hua Chiwu Lu Sibuhua.
King, he was welcomed as king by the Xians and has nothing to do with our country, so whether his ancestral tomb is in Liaodong or not, what does it have to do with Liaodong’s ownership?”
Friends, it takes a lot of brainpower to write this kind of debate. It requires both knowledge and debating skills. It is not about romance and romance. You can write whatever you want. You can write a thousand words in a eloquent way. Such a chapter consumes the same amount of brainpower as three chapters.
Chapter five, my brain is almost going to explode. Please! Please! Please update the chapter four!
