The last time I met Lin Qihe was four months ago. At that time, Jin and Xuan Bin abducted the crown prince, and Muchuan was ordered to rescue him. As a result, he had various conflicts and misunderstandings with Lin Qihe and others.
Later, after Muchuan led the troops to capture one-fifth of the territory of Goguryeo, the emperor awarded him a reward. Among them, Muchuan asked for rewards for Lin Qihe and other generals.
As a result, Lin Qihe was pardoned for violating military orders and received an increase in salary and military pay.
Lin Qihe knew that the reason why he was not punished was entirely because of Muchuan, so he kept this kindness in his heart in order to repay him in the future.
Lin Qihe came to visit this time just to carry out an extremely secret mission ordered by Muchuan. At this time, he reported: "Sir, everything goes well, and the new ambassador of Goguryeo has arrived in Chang'an City."
"good very good!"
Muchuan laughed heartily, never expecting that the plan he had planned many days ago had actually succeeded.
But it was Wang Yue Da Gong and other Goguryeo envoys who were confused, "Goguryeo's new ambassador", what kind of ambassador is this?
All the ambassadors of Goguryeo are in the palace, so there are no new ambassadors!
When the Goguryeo ambassadors were surprised, a thin man wearing exotic robes walked in immediately outside the threshold.
The man with high cheekbones, wearing a mountain hat, had a respectful figure and walked lightly. As he walked forward, he saluted all the officials in the cabinet: "I am the ambassador of Goguryeo, Jin Fei. This time, on the order of the King of Goguryeo, I am here.
Specially follow up on the matter of peace talks."
Naturally, people in the Tang Dynasty did not recognize this man named Jin Fei, but people in Goguryeo recognized him.
This Jin Fei was a relative of the emperor of Goguryeo and the king's uncle. He had a high position and great reputation.
At this time, the appearance of Jin Fei caused the ambassadors of Goguryeo to be horrified.
"It's Mr. Jin. Why is Mr. Jin here?"
"Master Jin, does the king have any new orders?
Why do you have to travel so hard to get to Chang'an City?"
"Master Jin, the people of the Tang Dynasty are very insidious. You have entered the dragon's den and the tiger's den. You must be careful."
The ambassadors of Goguryeo said this, but Jin Fei ignored them, but took a step forward and bowed to Muchuan, and said: "It's Master Muchuan, isn't it?
Please talk to me about peace negotiations."
"oh?
Are you qualified?"
When Muchuan spoke, he glanced at Wang Yue Da Gong, meaning whether Wang Yue Da Gong or Jin Fei was in charge of major events in their country of Goguryeo.
Jin Fei took out a gold letter from the inner sleeve of his robe and handed it to Muchuan respectfully, saying that this was an edict from the King of Goguryeo, and that all matters relating to peace negotiations between the two countries would now be left to Jin Fei alone.
"Is that what it looks like?
That’s it, after all, the peace negotiations between the two countries really need to be discussed carefully.”
After Muchuan finished speaking, he snapped his fingers and ordered the eunuch to give Jin Fei a seat, wine and food.
"Thank you, Lord Muchuan."
Jin Fei is respectful.
On the contrary, all the Tang Dynasty officials on the scene were dumbfounded. They knew that they didn’t know what was going on now. After all, Muchuan was originally confronting Mochizuki Dagong, and they were equally matched, but now a man named Jin Fei suddenly appeared.
ambassador?
But it's very weird.
Those who were equally astonished were Wan Yue Dagong and others. The peace negotiation was clearly handled by them. Why did the King of Goguryeo suddenly hand over the peace negotiation power to Jin Fei?
Jin Fei was famous for his loyalty in Goguryeo. After all, the women in his family were all relatives of the royal family, and he had served the royal family for decades.
But his loyalty is indeed loyal, but his ability is mediocre, he is not good at words, and his character is cowardly. If he were to conduct peace talks, Muchuan would definitely eat him to pieces without leaving any bones.
Wangyue Dagong was tied to the ground, but he still struggled and shouted: "Master Jin, I have unilaterally declared a break with the Tang Dynasty regarding this peace negotiation. They are too aggressive and bullying. Negotiating with them is like trying to conspire with a tiger."
"Shut up!"
Jin Fei angrily scolded Mochizuki Dagong and praised, "The peace negotiation between the two countries is particularly important and must be achieved! Don't let the peace be hurt!"
"Master Jin, do you know what conditions Datang has offered?"
"No matter what conditions are offered, this peace negotiation must not be broken off!"
After finishing speaking, Jin Fei's originally annoyed expression immediately dissipated, and he turned to look at Muchuan with a smile, "Sir... I wonder if we can start negotiating peace?"
"sure."
Muchuan sat on the pearwood chair on the right, with his legs crossed, leisurely and calmly. Then with a wave of his hand, he ordered the eunuch to hand the peace agreement documents into Jin Fei's hands.
After Jin Fei took the peace negotiation document and looked at it carefully, his originally smiling expression froze, because the peace negotiation conditions proposed by Muchuan were very harsh, including ceding territory and paying compensation, and also required the royal family of Goguryeo to come to Chang'an to kowtow in person. This
Not only did it cause heavy losses to the Goguryeo Kingdom, it even caused the country's prestige to suffer a loss of face.
"This, this..." Jin Fei showed a troubled expression.
"What's wrong?
Ambassador Kim.”
"Lord Muchuan, can this condition be relaxed?
Such conditions are really embarrassing for us."
"This is the condition. Your country, Goguryeo, is a defeated country and has no right to bargain here!"
Muchuan's tone showed a bit of pressure, and he stared at the other party like a snake and scorpion, and said, "Of course, I don't like to do things by force. If Goguryeo really doesn't want to, then just go back! Big deal.
Just keep fighting!"
Hearing Muchuan say that he wanted to start a war, Jin Fei was so frightened that he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
This time Jin Fei came all the way here to facilitate the peace negotiation. No matter what the loss, he had to ensure the success of the peace negotiation.
"I...I understand. As long as Goguryeo agrees to this condition, can we get a long-term peace?"
"Yes, the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was so virtuous that he would naturally forgive Goguryeo's crimes."
"Okay! If we can get peace between the two countries, we, the people of Goguryeo, are willing to recognize the Tang Dynasty as our suzerainty and never rebel, in order to repay the kindness of the Tang Dynasty."
Mochizuki Dagong agreed without much thought.
In this way, the peace negotiation between the two countries was reached. Even though Muchuan's conditions were very harsh, Jin Fei still agreed.
This shocked Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other ministers. The Goguryeo Kingdom was clearly unyielding and aggressive during the peace negotiations, so why did it suddenly become so submissive?
Mochizuki Dagong and others were equally surprised. Such peace terms almost turned Goguryeo into a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, humiliating the country and losing power. Why did Jin Fei actually agree to it? This is simply unreasonable!
