The Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites has two buildings, the north and the south, each with nine wing rooms in the east, west, front and back.
Yin Muhong could not wait until dawn, so he brought a team of officers from the Duwei Mansion to visit the Korean envoys.
"Visiting late at night will cause a lot of disturbance, so I hope you will be able to honor me," Yin Muhong said with a smile.
Li Zi's face was exaggerated, and his tone was even more exaggerated, and he said: "Yin Ti has made a strong statement, and I am scared. You are so welcome to come, and the house is full of flowers. Please come in and serve tea."
Did he know that the person in front of him was Yang Shaozai's confidant, and that in the future Yang would replace Zhao, he would be a minister of Conglong, so there would be nothing wrong in fawning over him in advance.
After the two of them sat down, four officers from the captain's palace in azure robes stood in the corridor holding swords. Li Ziqian couldn't help but murmur in his heart that these people are future upstarts. Could it be that they came here so late today just to ask for bribes?
A Goryeo maid brought tea to Li Ziqian. After Li Ziqian asked for tea, Yin Muhong smiled and nodded, held up the tea bowl, opened the lid with his thumb and index finger, sniffed the tea aroma, and said casually: "I heard that your envoy was born in the Xuantu Li family.
, is a distinguished family in Goryeo."
"Exactly." When talking about his ancestors, Li Ziqian was no longer sleepy, with a rather proud look on his face. "The ancestor's name is Yinggong. He is the direct son of the Li family in Longxi. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, he moved to the Xuantu County area and later assisted Gaoli.
Taizu jointly created the foundation, and thus the foundation of the Xuantu and Li family was established."
Yin Muhong curled his lips and said, "I just said casually, you're still in high spirits." He used the lid of the bowl to stir up the tea leaves floating in the tea soup, euphemistically expressing his indifferent attitude, but Li Ziqian didn't seem to notice, and was still beaming.
Said: "Speaking of which, we have some distant connections with the champions of the Han Dynasty."
"Oh?" Yin Muhong now became interested and asked, "What is the connection between the Li family of Longxi and the Champion Marquis?"
When Li Ziqian saw that his success had aroused his interest, he was even more proud and said loudly: "When our ancestors arrived in the Liaodong area, the wife they married was the legitimate daughter of the Xuan Tu Huo family. This Xuan Tu Huo family was the original champion who went deep into the enemy's rear.
The remaining branch, because the champion has no heirs, is said to be the direct line of the champion. Therefore, we, the Li family, are descendants of the Chinese Miao people and share the same ancestors as all the princes."
Yin Muhong had a dark look on his face. If he hadn't come here today to ask for something from him, he would have left long ago.
There must be a bottom line when it comes to clinging to relatives. Huo Qubing's famous saying is, "The Huns are not destroyed, so why do we care about the family?" Could it be that he went to the Xiongnu grassland early in his teens to give birth to a child?
Li Ziqian laid out his genealogy. It could be said that he was in a good mood and had completely forgotten to think about the purpose of the person in front of him.
Yin Muhong put down his tea cup and said softly: "Since we are all compatriots, I will tell you straight away that I came to see you today, but I have something important to discuss."
After a while, Li Ziqian's face became even more rosy, and his heart was beating like a drum.
He accidentally participated in the change of dynasties in the Central Plains, and played such an important role. It was simply a bragging rights for generations to come.
From now on, there is no need to brag about the Li clan of Longxi and the champion marquis. We can directly say that our ancestors supported Yang Lin and ascended to the throne of God.
When Yin Muhong saw him like this, his face turned cold and he said, "This matter involves a lot, and you should understand that if even the slightest bit of news gets out, neither you nor I will end well."
"I understand, I understand, I understand. Tomorrow I will go to the court to complain about this matter, and please report it to the young master. Our Li family's admiration for him is like a high mountain, and like a crying child, we admire him.
Loving father..."
Yin Muhong got goosebumps all over his body, stood up in a hurry, and left the place quickly.
He was afraid that if he stayed for a while longer, he would collapse and explode.
The fan next to him said: "Tiji, this guy is talking nonsense, can he actually succeed?"
Yin Muhong laughed dumbly and said: "This person is not good at doing anything else, so this is the perfect thing for him to do."
People are not afraid of ridiculous things. They have enough imagination. In the process of spreading rumors, they will exaggerate and improve it, fill in the loopholes, and come up with various reasonable explanations.
Yin Muhong, as the host of several campaigns, has long been aware of this, and now he is becoming more and more proficient in this trick.
Early the next morning, the Korean envoys were furious and beat gongs and drums on the streets, shouting along the way that the kings should contact them late at night, hoping to overthrow Jinshang.
Both the officials who were on duty in the early days and the people along the way were all aroused into a burning desire for gossip.
Countless people followed the noisy Koryo people outside the imperial city. The imperial city of the Song Dynasty did not isolate the common people. The emperor could see the lively market while standing on the city wall.
Many people were at the door, watching the Koreans go in to complain. At this time, people from the Duwei Palace had already surrounded several palaces.
Soon, the Holy Emperor issued an edict, and several princes joined forces with other countries. Thinking that they were of the Emperor's blood, they were pardoned from the death penalty and demoted from the capital.
Under Zhongshu's sect, the six ministers, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and the Gonggun princes were all in the palace to listen to the official's verdict.
King Zhao Huan of Ding was demoted to Duke Banqiao of Banqiao Town, Mizhou; King Zhao Kai of Yun was demoted to Duke of Yuncheng of Yuncheng County; King Zhao Shu of Su was demoted to Duke of Ninghai of Huating County; King Zhao Qi of Jing was demoted to Duke of Tianjin County; King Zhao Xu of Ji was demoted to Duke of You.
The Duke of Yi County, the Prefecture of Yan Yi Prefecture; King Zhao Gou of Kang was demoted to the Duke of Samarkand, the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
From now on, they will leave Beijing and go to their respective fiefdoms, and will not be allowed to return to Bianliang.
The new army from the Beijing camp sent a thousand soldiers and horses each to escort them to the fiefdom.
The distant fragrance invades the ancient road, and the clear green connects to the deserted city. I also send the princes and grandchildren away, and the flowers are full of farewell love.
These were genuine princes and grandsons, but not many people came to see them off. Only the grass and trees on the official road watched them leave.
After Yang Lin did this, he stayed behind closed doors and asked Lu Qian to go out to find out more about the situation. At home, he collected and sorted out intelligence from various places with peace of mind, and controlled the dynasty in every detail.
Contrary to his expectation, both the government and the people applauded, and no curses were spread.
Yang Lin was bored for a long time, and finally figured out that as an emperor, Zhao Ji had no benevolent policies.
The king treats the people like weeds, and the people regard the king as an enemy. No matter how prosperous he is, he will not be of any benefit to the people. When he is in power, he may be admired by everyone, but once he loses power, no one will speak up for him.
At this point, the Zhao and Song clan in Bianliang City no longer had much power.
The Song Dynasty gave very low preferential treatment to clans. Unlike the Ming Dynasty in later generations, many clans in the Song Dynasty had to take the imperial examinations themselves.
As long as you are not from the emperor's lineage, you will gradually have no privileges, and you are destined to have no decent clan power.
Invisibly, Yang Lin's power became stronger and he was already at the forefront of the storm.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that no one can stop this wave, which overturned the Song Dynasty and finally brought out a new emperor.
On this occasion, Yang Lin, the young master, finally stopped recuperating at home due to his illness. He took the initiative to write a letter requesting to inspect the place on behalf of Heaven and appease the local government.
