Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 591: The Advisory Council 2

The weather had cleared up, but there was still a lot of snow on the roof. It was at this time that An Pulin and Li Rui came to Yanjing City.

They were originally sitting in the carriage, but now they got out of the carriage and walked forward on the street.

As they walked, they observed the scene of Yanjing City.

The twelfth day of the first lunar month, just after the New Year, half of the shops in Yanjing City are open. There are many citizens buying things at the door of the shops, and some farmers from nearby villages and towns are buying some farm tools. In addition, some scholars who have just passed the imperial examination are also buying clothes, preparing to enter the government with dignity. Occasionally, children can be seen frolicking on the street, and some soldiers on temporary vacation are shopping on the street.

The entire Yanjing City is still so prosperous, and it seems that there is not much change compared to July last year.

"If Yanyun, Central Plains, and Jiangnan are all like this, it is indeed a big deal!" An Pulin said.

In this era, it is good to be able to eat enough, and it is unimaginable that everyone can live a prosperous life.

"As long as our seven million soldiers and civilians in Goryeo work together, just like the Khitans and Jurchens back then, it will not be difficult for us to occupy Liaodong, and then go south to occupy Yanyun and even the Central Plains! In the future, these people here will be with us. In slavery!" Li Rui said.

The two of them spoke in Korean, and they were not afraid that the people in Yanjing next to them would hear them.

"Yes, I really hope to see that day come in my lifetime!" An Pulin said.

He is over sixty years old. The average life expectancy of human beings in this era is far lower than that of later generations. "A life span of seventy has been rare since ancient times." It is very rare to be able to live to seventy years old! But to realize the grand "wish" they mentioned just now, I'm afraid it will take decades.

"Shall we go to Li Fan Yuan?" Li Rui asked.

"This time, let's go directly to the palace and pay respects to the Emperor of Song Dynasty!" An Pulin said.

The two of them went straight towards the palace, and when they reached the entrance of the palace, the palace had returned to normal. Someone went to report it, and after a while, the guards led them inside.

"Where is His Majesty the Emperor now?" An Purin asked.

"Your Majesty used to receive ministers from all over the place in the Hall of Lizheng, and he is still there now," said the guard.

An Pulin nodded.

After walking forward for a while, a huge palace appeared in front of it. There were many guards at the gate of the palace. After the two reported, they entered the palace.

The layout of this palace is quite magnificent, Zhao Chen is sitting on the throne, and Qin Yuzhen is beside him at the moment, the two seem to be talking about something.

After An Pulin and Li Rui came in, they were immediately captured by Qin Yuzhen's beauty. After a while, the two realized that they immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "The envoys of Korea are here to see Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live your majesty." !"

"Stay flat!" Zhao Chen said flatly.

"Your Majesty, when I came from Korea, I have brought the letter of credentials of the King of Korea and sent it to Your Majesty." An Pulin said.

"Submit it!" Zhao Chen said.

At that moment, An Pulin took out the letter of credence, and a guard took it over, and finally handed it to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen opened the book of Goryeo and looked at it carefully. It was about Goryeo becoming a vassal. From now on, Goryeo will once again become a subject of the Song Dynasty, and Goryeo, from the monarch to the common people, will respect the Emperor of Song Dynasty as the co-lord of the world.

"Very good!" After a while, Zhao Chen nodded with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, it was at the end of last year when we set off from Korea. Our Majesty asked us to bring some gifts to His Majesty!" Seeing a smile on Zhao Chen's face, An Pulin said again.

"Oh? Let's present it together!" Zhao Chen said.

Immediately, An Pulin and Li Rui said a few words to the guards, and after a while, more than a dozen Koreans entered the Lizheng Hall, and they moved in more than a dozen large and small boxes.

"Your Majesty, these are some special products of my Goryeo, please have a look!" An Pulin said.

Zhao Chen came down from the top, and he came to the box. The guards opened the box, and Zhao Chen looked at the presents in the box.

The first box contains an ivory-carved sailboat, which is very delicately made! The second box contained a blood-colored coral tree as tall as a person. The whole coral tree was crystal clear, and Zhao Chen stayed there all of a sudden! The third box contained a string of pearls. Zhao Chen picked up a string of pearls, and saw that each pearl was the size of a person's little finger, and all the pearls were the same size. This string of pearls is probably worth a lot! In the fourth box is a one-foot-long snow-white ginseng. This ginseng is actually in the shape of a human, and a sweet fragrance emanates from the ginseng...

There were all kinds of precious things in the boxes at the back. Zhao Chen seemed to be stunned, and his body was motionless.

"Does Your Majesty still like it?" An Pulin asked.

"I like it! I really like it! Although I am rich in the world, I have never seen so many such precious treasures!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"It's good that His Majesty is satisfied! Our king said that from now on, Gaoli will be a courtier of Song Dynasty, so naturally he will give the best things to Song Dynasty!" An Pulin said.

"Thank you Your Majesty for me." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, you made us profess your vassals last time. Now that we have brought our credentials, when will we sign the contract?" An Purin said.

"You still have to go to Wang Shu for this matter. He is in charge of this matter. I will let him sign a contract with you." Zhao Chen said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" An Pulin said with great joy in his heart.

"I still have some things to do, you should go to Wang Shu first." Zhao Chen said.

At that moment, Zhao Chen ordered the guards to lead them out, and Qin Yuzhen also came down from the top at this moment, and came to these gifts.

"This snow ginseng is human-shaped, white all over, and exudes a strange fragrance. It is a rare millennium ginseng in the world! If an ordinary person eats this snow ginseng, it will not be a problem to cultivate to the innate state within three years! I will wait until I eat this snow ginseng. Participate, you can also go a step further." Qin Yuzhen said in surprise.

"If you like it, I will give it to you." Zhao Chen said.

"Husband, you seemed to be very obsessed just now, why are you so generous now?" Qin Yuzhen smiled lightly.

"Just now I just lied to those Korean people! I am the emperor of the Song Dynasty. I can't get what I want. Why should I care about their mere gifts? Yuzhen, you like to practice martial arts the most. I have decided that this thing will be given to you. You! For the remaining treasures, see if Ayao and the others want anything, and then give some to father and grandfather, and seal up the rest in the treasury." Zhao Chen laughed.

"Just now we were talking about the Consultative Bureau, but you haven't told me why the Consultative Bureau was established?" Qin Yuzhen said.

"On the one hand, it is to absorb the suggestions of the people, and on the other hand, it is also for the purpose of decentralizing powers. In the future, a more reasonable system can be established! The Consultation Bureau will be changed into a Congress in the future. In the future, not only will the country have a Congress, but the local government will also have related institutions. , about its benefits, let me tell you..." Zhao Chen said.

The two of them discussed the matter of the Advisory Council in the Palace of Lizheng, and they never cared about the Koreans again.

After An Pulin and Li Rui entered the Military Aircraft Office, Wang Shu was discussing state affairs with officials from various places this morning, so they had to wait here.

At noon, the two of them had a quick meal at the military plane, and only then did they know that food was provided for officials here, and the officials of the Song Dynasty military plane had to work here from morning till night, only after dark to leave.

For such a system, the two felt a lot of emotion.

In the afternoon, they finally saw Wang Shu.

The three of them sat down together, and Wang Shu smiled and said, "My lords, you are finally here again!"

"Master Wang, we have sent the letter of credence to the hands of His Majesty the Emperor. Our Goryeo has decided to surrender to the Song Dynasty. From then on, we will be the subjects of the Song Dynasty! Regarding the Liaodong contract, we are going to finalize it now?" An Pu Lin Road.

"Let's finalize the division of Goryeo's city first, and then we can finalize the contract." Wang Shu said.

"Yes, this is the truth! Baozhou, Dingzhou, Xuanzhou, Kaizhou, Yaozhou, Zhenhai Prefecture and other places in Liaodong are already under the control of my Koryo, and these naturally belong to our Koryo! In addition, Liaoyang Prefecture, Liaoxi Prefecture, Shenzhou, Yinzhou, Zhengzhou, Jinzhou and other places also belong to our Koryo! What do you think, Mr. Wang?" An Pulin said.

He mentioned so many cities at once, Wang Shu was stunned there, after a while, Wang Shu laughed and said: "Except for Huanglong Mansion and Huining Mansion, do you want to leave the rest of the cities? "

An Pulin was a little embarrassed, but still nodded, and said, "Lord Wang, we said that day that we are willing to buy back the city of Liaodong with money! Just ask for a price!"

Wang Shu sneered and said, "A place as big as Liaodong is bigger than your country of Korea. How much money do you think you need?"

An Purin said: "Master Wang, if we buy these places, will you immediately withdraw your troops from these places?"

Wang Shu nodded and said, "That's not bad! But I'm afraid you don't have so much gold and silver!"

An Purin said: "Lord Wang, just tell me how much you need!"

Wang Shu smiled and said, "Ten million taels of silver is the least amount!"

What!

An Pulin and Li Rui stayed there for a while.
