Chapter 629 Everything can be sold, except for interests
A trial that was originally very clear ended up becoming Yang Ziqian's personal stage.
He made impassioned speeches, denounced treacherous ministers, and remembered the late emperor.
Everyone present was disgusted by this guy's shamelessness, but at this time Prime Minister Cui Hongsi, who was waiting outside, received the news.
A soldier whispered in his ear: "Prime Minister, there are two troop transport ships in Incheon Port, and they are approaching Kaijing at this time."
Cui Hongsi was shocked. Only the navy of the Song Dynasty had such a thing as a troop transport ship.
In addition to the nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, there are already so many people on Yang Ziqian's side near Xiaokaijing.
How could this be tried? Cui Hongsi's throat was dry because of the anxiety, and he quickly summoned people from the major families in Kaijing to gather together for discussion.
"What's there to discuss? Li Ziqian flattered the Song Dynasty and made the late king angry to death. Why do you still keep him?"
Cui Hongsi glared at the speaker with dissatisfaction and said, "The Song Dynasty's troop transport ships have already transported the troops and horses from Incheon to a nearby port."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked and everyone became afraid.
"You are the prime minister, you have an idea."
Cui Hongsi looked around and saw that it was impossible to expect them to speak first, so he simply said: "Then let the prince ascend the throne and let Li... Yang Ziqian go."
Others had the same idea, and they were completely frightened, but they still had to save face.
"Are you so afraid of the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty? They forcibly interfered in the internal affairs of Goryeo and wanted to protect the treacherous ministers who killed the king. You actually want to compromise with them." The speaker was Privy Councilor Tuo Junjing, who was not tall and had a delicate skin.
Dark and energetic.
He is an old subordinate of Yin Guan. He once joined Yin Guan in the Northern Expedition to the Jurchens. He is also the head of a prominent Goryeo family, the Gushan Tuo clan.
Cui Hongsi looked at him, his eyes wishing that he could burst into flames. I have already told everyone what they are thinking, yet you still want to make trouble.
If your soldiers and horses can fight, they will not be freed by the Jurchens and they will drive you back.
After winning several battles, I really thought I was invincible. However, the Song Dynasty had 40,000 soldiers and horses, and with the Incheon Li family as internal collaborators, they could easily disrupt the entire Goryeo.
By that time, the little Goryeo will be torn into pieces and there will be constant internal fighting. If the navy just transports some troops and horses, it will be hard to say whether Goryeo will still exist.
The former Goryeo Dynasty, which was once very prosperous, was so useless. What is the situation in Jiaozhi now? These warriors are really stupid, stubborn and hopeless.
There is nothing that cannot be compromised at this point. Preserving Korea and preserving the wealth of everyone here is better than anything else.
At the port not far outside Beijing, dinners began to be distributed on troop ships one after another.
These private soldiers of the Incheon Lee family ate rice and hot broth with oil, wiping their mouths and chattering excitedly.
In the cabin, the people of the Yang family in Incheon were all nervous and didn't know what the situation was now.
None of them, including Yang Ziqian, wanted to start a fight, because as long as they fought together, the Song Dynasty would definitely intervene directly. By then, I'm afraid this would be the second Jiaozhi.
Ruan Xiaoqi was in the cabin, constantly asking for drinks, and mingling with a group of absent-minded guests.
In Kaijing, Yang Ziqian had come out of the prison and was in the room of the Criminal Department.
An official from the Ministry of Punishments brought him hot water and changed his clothes after bathing.
Yang Ziqian sat quietly at the table, listening intently to the movement outside. Sure enough, after a while, there were many footsteps.
A group of people came in surrounded by a senior official. When Yang Ziqian saw his appearance, it was clear that he was Cui Hongsi, the prime minister of the dynasty.
His anxious heart was relieved, and Yang Ziqian, holding back the joy in his heart, poured a cup of tea: "Cui Xiangguo's coming here has undoubtedly saved the fate of Korea. Yang, I would like to give you a cup!"
Cui Hongsi snorted coldly, walked over angrily, raised his tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
---
Within one night, the wealthy family heads of Goryeo reached an agreement with Yang Ziqian.
Everyone is harmonious, and they are still the aristocratic family of Goryeo, enjoying the service of all people.
As for Yin Guan, he was completely sold out. Yin Guan was so angry with the late king that he wanted to have his house confiscated and beheaded. The Yin family's territory was divided up by others, and Yang Ziqian didn't want any of it.
Everyone supported the crown prince Wang Kai to succeed to the throne, and Yang Ziqian married his two granddaughters to the young crown prince as queens and concubines.
Everyone was happy, except the deceased king and Yin Guan who was about to die.
In the Bi Ti Pavilion, Yang Lin played with a Goryeo porcelain and sighed: "It's so dirty for the imperial government to seek this thing, especially Goryeo. For the sake of profit, there is no right and wrong. Yang Ziqian made their emperor angry to death.
There is no one to seek justice for this, there is only one Yin Guan, and he is about to die. The ancients said that if the Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, the Lord will humiliate the ministers and die. Alas, people's hearts are not ancient."
Lu Qian looked at where he was and sighed, feeling a little disgusted in his heart. Although this was dirty, it was not our Yang Shaozai's turn to judge. The intrigues, betrayals and betrayals in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty were ten thousand times more exciting.
Didn't you take advantage of Cai Jing's return home to repair his ancestral graves and come out to raise flags and set up a mountaintop...
The Korean people are really fast in doing things, especially this kind of thing, and the prince soon ascended the throne.
After the enthronement ceremony was completed, Yang Ziqian was immediately consecrated as the hero who helped to stabilize the society and was the Grand Master of Zhongshu Ling, the Duke of Korea. He also served as the three high-ranking officials and magistrates, the Ministry of War, and opened the mansion and built the palace.
For a time, the Yang family in Renzhou was very popular and had great power. Poor Yin Guan was surrounded by heavy troops. His soldiers beheaded him and surrendered.
After Wang Kai ascended the throne, he first sent envoys to the Song Dynasty to request for a title, and then posthumously recognized the late emperor as Ruizong of Goryeo, and named his biological mother as Queen Mother Wenjing.
In the Bi Ti Pavilion, Yang Ziqian nodded and bowed, returning to his old appearance.
Yang Lin smiled and said: "Congratulations to the Duke of North Korea. Now that you have joined Korea and Korea, your reputation is shocking in North Korea. Your future is limitless."
Yang Ziqian chuckled and said: "This is a gift from Shao Zai. How dare you be ungrateful?"
Yang Lin poured him a cup of tea, pushed it to him, and said: "The war ahead is urgent, but don't forget about the civilian husband. As for declaring war with the Jurchens, there is no need. If Aguda is angered, Goryeo may not be able to stop it.
Why do we, the country of our brothers, let this place be filled with smoke?"
Yang Ziqian was overjoyed. In the past, he was not in power, so he didn't care. Now that he has sole power, and the ruler of the country is young, if the Jurchens raise troops to go south, isn't it all his own business?
He didn't expect Yang Lin to be so open-minded and take the initiative to bring it up. He felt really grateful this time and patted his chest and promised to take care of the civilian husband.
Yang Lin also had a clear mind. Once Goryeo declared war, what would they do to resist the Jin soldiers when they marched south?
It is unreasonable to divide the troops and come here by yourself. There are no dangerous fortresses like the Great Wall to defend here, and the weather is the Jurchen's favorite. The risk of fighting here will be increased in vain, so why bother to do such a thankless task.
Even if they declare war, apart from making the Jurchens feel disgusted and making Aguda angry, there is almost no other use. It is better to send more civilians to transport food.
