Or we can say that ginger is spicy when it is old, and wine is fragrant when it is old.
How could the old emperor who had crawled out of a dead body his entire life allow Goryeo to take advantage of Shunshun Dangdang?
Zhu Yunxi beat the Korean envoy, but it was just a verbal threat.
And his grandfather simply made Gao Li vomit blood and withdraw real money and living people.
Not to mention anything else, among the annual tribute, there are fifty stallions and ten thousand horses of fine cloth, which is the big head.
A piece of cloth was enough to pay a Ming Dynasty frontier soldier for a year, and a stallion of a military horse was even more expensive.
Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunxi's knocking is simply a child's trick. So don't think that modern people are smarter than the ancients. In addition to God's perspective, in terms of knowledge and vision, Zhu Yunxi was thrown out of the ten streets by his grandfather.
But there is no shame in it. A person like Zhu Yuanzhang may not appear once in five hundred years. Besides, the grandson is not as good as the grandfather, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.
But now, how to appease the frightened Goryeo envoys is a problem.
Xie Jin's rude words about humiliating a big country scared the Goryeo envoy to death. This sentence came from Han Feizi. It means that a small country that borders a big country and doesn't know how to measure it. If it doesn't know how much it weighs, it's not far away from the country's destruction.
While having dinner with the old man, Jinyiwei came with three reports in succession. Pu Bancheng cried and fussed to the Minister of Rites, and then went to the Ministry of War to cry. Finally, he went directly to the vassal residence of King Yan Zhu Di, and the fiefdoms of Goryeo and King Yan.
We have many contacts, and often send beautiful women and so on. I want to invite King Yan to come forward, but he doesn't even get in.
It's not that Pu Bancheng is unfounded, but Zhu Yunxi's identity is shocking. He represents the prince to meet the King of Wu of the vassal state. There are rumors in the capital that the old prince wants to give his seat to his King of Wu.
"How to appease him?" After dinner, Zhu Yunxi walked in the garden by himself, pondering as he walked.
It's not a big deal if you don't comfort him well, but the old man's long life is approaching, and the envoys of the feudal country are crying and making trouble.
"Pu Wuyong!" Zhu Yunxi turned around and said.
Pu Wuyong, who was following quietly, appeared, "My slave is here!"
"Go and call Cao Guogong Li Jinglong!"
"yes!"
Let's say that Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao State, was enjoying flowers and reading at home, which was very pleasant.
Hearing that King Wu summoned him again, he was stunned for a moment and quickly changed his clothes with a sad face.
"Why are you looking so sad?" asked his wife, Deng Shi, "Isn't it a good thing for King Wu to see you? If you didn't say that last time, the throne will definitely fall on King Wu's head again!"
"A good thing?" Li Jinglong scolded angrily, "Last time I met His Highness King Wu, he was scolded so badly. Who knows what will happen this time?" He scolded and said sadly, "I have been keeping my tail between my legs lately.
Which censor sued me again?"
Then I got dressed and quickly arrived at Miyagi.
After following the eunuch into Jingren Palace, he found King Wu looking at him with a smile.
"Old Li!" Zhu Yunxi sat on the throne and looked at Li Jinglong below, "There is something you need to do!"
"My lord, I will do my best!" Li Jinglong patted his chest.
"Come here!" Zhu Yunxi leaned over and muttered for a while, then warned, "Do it well, I'm waiting for your good news!"
It turns out it was not the censor who complained!
After Li Jinglong breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a little happy.
His Highness King Wu has already begun to let himself do things. Is he treating himself as one of his own?
Thinking of this, Li Jinglong went home excitedly, entered the study, found his confidant and whispered a few words.
Park Bancheng cried in Beijing for a whole day, but to no avail.
The King of Wu rebuked the envoys of the vassal state. Who dared to take care of him? He didn't even look at the old prince and didn't say anything.
Even some people are still muttering in their hearts, does the old emperor want to conquer Goryeo and let King Wu come out to take the lead?
After a tiring day, he had just sat down in the residence prepared for him by the Ministry of Rites, when suddenly an official from the Ministry of Rites came to his door.
The visitor got straight to the point, "If the imperial court really wants to conquer Goryeo, it's useless to ask anyone else. You should go to the family of military generals to find out more about it."
Pu Bancheng slapped his thigh and suddenly realized it. But then he was in trouble, who should he ask? There were countless distinguished military generals in the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't know any of them.
The visitor told him again, "Cao Guogong Li Jinglong is a relative of Huang Ming. He has a good temper and is popular. If you come and ask, maybe you can find out something?"
In this way, Pu Bancheng sent a greeting card to Cao Guogong's mansion overnight.
Later, in Li Jinglong's study, he met the son of the Ming Emperor's nephew.
When he saw Li Jinglong, Pu Bancheng admired him in his heart. He was such a high-spirited man and showed his talent.
"Pu Bancheng, the official of Goryeo, met Cao Guogong!"
"Please get up quickly!" Li Jinglong, dressed in casual clothes, smiled and helped him up with his own hands, "I am a guest from afar, so there is no need to be polite." He said, "Please sit down, and someone will serve tea!"
The servants served fragrant tea, which was filled with fragrance.
Pu Bancheng looked at the tea leaves in the tea bowl and exclaimed, "Shangguo Fenghua is indeed extraordinary. Such porcelain and such good tea are hard to bear to taste!"
Li Jinglong's family is very wealthy. They use the best blue and white porcelain from Jingdezhen, and the tea leaves are all the best tea from the south of the Yangtze River. When the tea leaves meet the water, they stretch their waists like a lady in the blue and white tea bowl, which is pleasing to the eye even before drinking.
"Go back and ask someone to pack a few kilograms for the envoy!" Li Jinglong asked with a smile, "It's so late, why are you here at my house?"
Pu Bancheng stood up again and bowed to the end, "I am presumptuous, but I just ask you to understand my feelings. Today I have an audience with the King of Wu..."
"I understand!" Li Jinglong said, "Are you afraid that Ming Dynasty will send troops to attack your country?"
"That's right!" Pu Bancheng said anxiously, "My lord, Korea's respect for the Ming Dynasty can be expressed in every day!"
"Well, if you occupy land in Liaodong, you can't wait to see the future!"
Li Jinglong cursed in his heart. Although he was incompetent, he was also the son of a general in the Ming Dynasty, and he looked down upon these vassals.
"Is this the case!" Li Jinglong cursed in his heart, but his face looked very troubled.
Seeing this expression, Pu Bancheng's heart suddenly became cold.
He quickly continued, "I wonder if I can help you by saying a few words, or maybe I can ask your majesty to meet with you!" He lowered his voice and said, "The whole country must rely on your kindness, and I am not an ungrateful person."
Li Jinglong's heart moved, "I'm going to get rich!"
"Hi!" Li Jinglong said, "There is such a rumor!"
"Ah!" Pu Bancheng exclaimed, almost knocking over the tea bowl.
"However, it is not what the emperor has in mind!" Li Jinglong continued.
"Is it His Royal Highness King Wu, who is a thousand years old?"
"No!" Li Jinglong began to lie.
Pu Bancheng took out a few golden tickets from his sleeves, handed them over quietly, and begged, "Master, please save Goryeo!"
During the Ming Dynasty, commerce was developed, especially in the Jiangnan area. Gold and silver tickets had begun to take shape and had a good reputation.
When Li Jinglong saw the number on the leading ticket, he suddenly burst into laughter. It looked like it might be two thousand taels of gold.
"What are you doing?" Li Jinglong pretended to be displeased, "It's our first time meeting, and you're here?"
"Master!" Pu Bancheng knelt down directly, "I really have no way to appeal to you. Please tell me the truth. I will definitely retaliate against you in the future!"
"I'm just a soft-hearted person who can't listen to others begging me. In fact, you, Goryeo, are entirely to blame for this matter!" Li Jinglong said, "Do you think you can really hide the bad things you did in Liaodong from the Ming Dynasty court?"
"That...is all a no-man's land!"
Li Jinglong's face changed drastically and he sneered, "In the past, did you dare to say this to Dayuan?"
Pu Bancheng hurriedly said, "This official has messed up his sense of proportion, please don't blame me!"
Li Jinglong sighed and continued, "The diplomatic relationship between the two countries is about sincerity. What about you? While you are on the table, you are occupying land at the same time. What does Ming Dynasty think? The old prince and King Wu don't want to touch you for the time being, but what about others?"
"Someone else? Who?"
"Let me ask you, how many warriors and noble families were there in the Ming Dynasty?"
Seeing Pu Bancheng's hesitation, Li Jinglong added, "There are hundreds of princes and uncles in total. They are all heroes who came from the dead."
"What does this have to do with Goryeo?" Park Bancheng was puzzled.
"Why did you, the leader of the Goryeo Kingdom, choose such a stupid person like you?" Li Jinglong scolded with a smile, "How do we, the people, rely on our wealth?"
Park Bancheng thought about it, "War?"
"That's right!" Li Jinglong clapped his hands, "But now the Ming Dynasty only uses troops against Beiyuan. The military industry is all on the frontier Sai Wang and General Lan and other figures. There are more monks and less meat, and these other generals can't win the war.
Can wealth last long?"
Seeing that the other party was thoughtful, Li Jinglong said again, "Besides, even if it is rich, it is only the wealth of this generation. If we don't fight to gain military glory, what will future generations do? Picking up persimmons... Since you Korea have violated
In the Ming Dynasty, these people are just trying to get military glory, so can they please you?"
"You mean?" Park Bancheng seemed to understand.
"So, these people who have no military merit are in His Highness King Wu's ears every day. Do you think His Highness still has a good impression of you?" Li Jinglong gave the other party a look that said, "You understand."
