Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 610: Imperial Study Room

Jin Can has white hair all over his head, and he is extremely old, but at this moment he is supporting Wang Kai, who is only in his twenties, towards the Yanjing Imperial Palace.

The Yanjing Imperial Palace is magnificent, and there are many guards inside.

Walking officials could be seen on the road from time to time, all of them looked hurried, and those officials only glanced at them when they saw them, and then quickly moved on.

You can see a lot of palaces along the way, and there are signs hanging on the gates of many palaces, which are obviously where different institutions of the imperial court are located.

In addition to the guards and ministers, there are also some servants who are cleaning the palace and arranging seedlings!

There seemed to be no eunuchs or maids in the entire palace, which made Jin Can unbelievable! Of course, a small number of court ladies are in the harem, he doesn't know.

"The agriculture, commerce, engineering and studies in the Song Dynasty far surpassed that of Goryeo. The civil and military ministers of the Song Dynasty also concentrated on state affairs. There were no eunuchs and maids in the palace, and the sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing was not heard. This place is purely an office, which is far beyond my Goryeo! Such a powerful and powerful country appeared in the Central Plains, how could Goryeo be their opponent?" Jin Can secretly thought.

Wang Kai next to him didn't have the heart to look at the surrounding scene at all at the moment, he was terrified, his body was trembling constantly, his face was pale, and the clothes on his back were wet with cold sweat! As the king of subjugation, he really didn't know what kind of ending he was going to face.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the surroundings became quiet.

There was a jungle in front of them, and there was a path in the jungle. They passed by the path, and they seemed to have come to a garden. There was a palace in the middle of the garden. This palace was the imperial study where Zhao Chen's office was located! It can be said that this is the heart of the Great Song Empire.

"Your Majesty Xuan Wangkai and Jin Can have an audience!" At the gate of the palace, after a short briefing, a guard came out and said.

Wang Kai's feet were weak, and he could hardly stand up. Jin Can arranged his clothes a little, and then helped Wang Kai into the imperial study.

As the name suggests, the Royal Study Room has a huge bookshelf with many new or old books on it! This bookshelf takes up almost one wall!

On the other wall are several sets of maps, including an overview of the world, maps of Yanyun and the Central Plains, maps of the northern Mongolian grasslands, Qincha grasslands, and Central Asia, maps of Koryo and Dongying, and maps of Dali and Vietnam.

In addition, there is a sword hanging on the wall, which is Zhao Chen's Seven Star Longyuan Sword! The other direction is where the windows are.

There is a table in the room. There are books, documents, pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. A young man sits behind the table and writes hard.

There is another row of chairs in the room, and there is also a tea table between the chairs, which is used for entertaining guests.

Apart from these, there is no other superfluous things in the room.

Jin Can stayed there, he couldn't believe it, is this the place where the emperor of the Song Dynasty handles political affairs?

There is not even the slightest luxurious decoration here, there are no countless eunuchs and maids to serve, and there are no utensils to play with. How can this be the place where the emperor stays?

In the palace of Goryeo, every place where the King of Goryeo can go is ten times more luxurious than here!

This is a place where political affairs are really dealt with, not a place for people to enjoy!

Jin Can started to look at Zhao Chen at this moment!

Zhao Chen is only 19 years old this year, but he doesn't have the slightest childishness on his body, only heroic and calm. When Zhao Chen felt Jin Can's gaze and raised his head to look at Jin Can, Jin Can only felt that the tree was like a tree. Electricity, he lowered his head involuntarily at that moment, slightly startled in his heart.

"Korea sinful minister Wang Kai sees His Majesty!" Wang Kai hastily knelt down at this time, his voice trembling.

Jin Can was captured by Zhao Chen's gaze just now, and now he heard Wang Kai's voice, and immediately stretched out his hand to pull Wang Kai.

"Lord Jin, what are you doing?" Wang Kai broke free from Jin Can and said.

"Your Majesty, you are the Lord of Goryeo, so you don't need to kneel to him!" Jin Can said stubbornly.

But Wang Kai ignored Jin Can, and still knelt and worshiped Zhao Chen three times and nine times.

"Stay flat!" Zhao Chen said.

Wang Kai stood up with a worried look on his face.

"Please sit down, both of you," Zhao Chen said.

"The guilty minister dare not." Wang Kai said.

"If I tell you to sit down, you just sit down, there is no need to be afraid, and there is no need to be polite." Zhao Chen said.

Only then did Wang Kai sit down anxiously, while Jin Can stood beside Wang Kai.

"The two of you came here all the way from Korea, did anyone treat you badly?" Zhao Chen asked.

"All the generals treated each other with courtesy, and the guilty minister is grateful." Wang Kai said hastily.

"That's good." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Emperor Song, I have something to ask you!" Jin Can shouted suddenly.

"What? Please speak!" Zhao Chen said.

"I, Goryeo, have already bowed down to the Great Song and become a vassal of the Great Song. Why did the Great Song suddenly use troops to my Goryeo?" Jin Can said angrily.

"Bow your head and proclaim yourself a vassal? Belonging to the country? These are just things in name! In the past two years, you Koryo have continuously recruited men to join the army. You took advantage of our war with the Jurchens to send troops to occupy the land of Liaodong! Cui Zhuo and others were captured by our Song Dynasty. After catching them, they were so ambitious that they even said they wanted to restore Goguryeo! If you want to threaten us, we can only use troops!" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Your Majesty's atonement! Your Majesty's atonement!" Hearing Zhao Chen's cold voice, Wang Kai hastily knelt down again and said in panic.

"My lord, please stand up!" Zhao Chen smiled and motioned for Wang Kai to continue to sit down.

His expression softened, and Wang Kai dared to continue to sit down, but his heart became more disturbed.

"No matter what, you can't explain to the world!" Jin Can gritted his teeth.

"Some people in Goryeo are ambitious, but it's not the king's fault. I was going to demote the king to be a prince, but after thinking about it, I decided to appoint the king as the king of Korea!" Zhao Chen ignored Jin Can, but looked at the king. Kai, said.

"Ah!" Wang Kai was stunned for a moment.

"From now on, Your Majesty will live in Yanjing City, and all treatment will be the same as that of the Great Song Dynasty King, and his children can also become nobles! Within a radius of 200 miles around Yanjing City, Your Majesty can go anywhere he wants! If you want to go further If you have to report it to the court, what does your majesty think?" Zhao Chen said.

"This... is true?" Wang Kai asked in disbelief.

"No joke!" Zhao Chen said.

"You won't kill me? You won't imprison me in a small courtyard? You won't let me do farm work, hard work?" Wang Kai asked hastily.

"Of course not! There are a lot of property in the Koryo Palace, but a large part of it is people's fat and people's ointment. These will be used for the construction of Koryo, and the rest can be returned to you. This is still a huge fortune. At least A million taels of silver is enough for you to spend for several lifetimes! The imperial palaces in Kaijing and Pyongyang are owned by the Song court, but I can allocate a manor for you outside Yanjing City, and I will also prepare a mansion for you in Yanjing City. You can live in the mansion or in the manor outside. How you want to live in the future depends on yourself! If you like to recite poems and paint, then recite poems and paint, if you like to play around, then play around, you If you feel bored and want to find something to do, I can also arrange it for you, in short, everything is up to you." Zhao Chen said.

"Emperor Song, what are you going to do?" Jin Can snapped again.

"Mr. Jin, you are a great Confucian in Goryeo. I heard from Wu Jie and Yue Fei that you are the only loyal minister in Goryeo. From now on, you will follow the king of Goryeo! There are many schools in Yanjing City, and you can open a school if you want. By the way, Majesty, there is one more thing I want to tell you. I have a royal sister, who was born to my uncle, King Hun. She is only twenty-eight years old. She is virtuous and dignified. Concubine, are you willing?" Zhao Chen said.

"My minister is willing." Wang Kai said hastily.

"From now on, we are one family! Regarding the Battle of Goryeo, I am going to tell the world that it is Cui Zhuo's crime! If Cui Zhuo hadn't bewitched the king, you would not have been able to use troops against Liaodong." Zhao Chen said.

"That's right, that's the truth! Cui Zhuo really deserves to die!" Mentioning Cui Zhuo, Wang Kai gritted his teeth.

Now Wang Kai hates Cui Zhuo the most in his heart! He felt that the reason why he fell to such a point was because of Cui Zhuo!

"I sent troops to Goryeo just to eliminate treacherous ministers, but the king himself felt that governing Goryeo was too tiring, so he handed over Goryeo to the Song Dynasty to govern together, but this is the reason?" Zhao Chen said.

"Not bad, not bad!" Wang Kai nodded again.

"Your Majesty will be the vassal king of the Song Dynasty from now on. You don't have to worry about state affairs anymore, and you can enjoy life to your heart's content! Come here, send King Gaoli and Mr. Jin out, and ask the Military Aircraft Department to arrange residence for King Gaoli and Mr. Jin! As for Gaoli I will borrow the property of the palace for the time being, and now I will give the king one hundred thousand taels of silver first, and send the remaining nine hundred thousand taels to the mansion within ten years!" Zhao Chen said.

Wang Kai and Jin Can had already left, Zhao Chen stood by the map and meditated, he didn't make things difficult for Wang Kai and Jin Can, it was because there was no need for it! Moreover, these two people did not make a big mistake, one is just a fatuous king, and the other is a great Confucian in Korea, there is no need to kill them, keeping them can show the grandeur of the new dynasty, and at the same time use it to buy people's hearts! If these two people were killed, I am afraid that many Koreans will rise up and resist.

"Come here, find Wang Shu!" Zhao Chen said.

*** ***

After a quarter of an hour, Wang Shu came to the imperial study.

"The military aircraft department has been discussing the governance of Korea these days, what's the result now?" Zhao Chen said.

"About the governance of Koryo, the ministers thought that the first step was to divide the administrative districts! Koryo originally had two capitals, four capitals, eight herds, fifty-six prefectures, and twenty counties. Koryo is only about the size of Hedong and Guanshaan. , There is no need for so many prefectures and counties at all! The Military Aircraft Department has discussed for several days and believes that Goryeo can be divided into 15 prefectures and counties. In addition, Xuanfu envoys should be set up in Goryeo. The system of Goryeo is the same as that of Yanyun and Central Plains!" Wang Shu said.

Zhao Chen nodded.

"The second step is culture and education! Most of the nobles and gentry in Goryeo have learned our Han language and know our Han characters. All affairs in Goryeo are recorded in Chinese characters! The Military Aircraft Department believes that more schools should be set up in Goryeo so that the poor people of Goryeo You can enroll for free and learn the language and characters of my Han people! Regarding the textbooks of Goryeo, we should also formulate specially! Goryeo people recognize Jizi as their ancestor, and Jizi was originally a descendant of the Shang Dynasty. In a sense, it is also a side branch of my Han people! All these must be written in the books! We must let the Koreans understand a truth, we are not an invasion of foreigners, but an annexation of the orthodox dynasty!" Wang Shu said.

"Very good!" Zhao Chen said.

"Although the area of ​​Koryo is not very large, the population is quite large. Most of these people have no land! The Liaodong area is sparsely populated. We can encourage the Koreans to go to Liaodong. As long as they go to Liaodong, they can get land! Jiangnan, Some people from the Sichuan and Sichuan areas also went to Liaodong, and some people from the Production and Construction Corps were also in Liaodong. At that time, intermarriage of various ethnic groups should be encouraged! Regarding the household registration of the Koreans, we must clearly write "Han" on it! Wait until ten or twenty years later The young people in Goryeo all speak my Han language and learn my Han books. They believe that the Goryeo people are also of Han blood since they were young. In this way, Goryeo will naturally be completely owned by my Song Dynasty! Also, we have to The navy is stationed in Ganghwa Island, Jeju Island, Tsushima Island and other places. These navies are all Han Chinese, so it is safe! We also allow Koreans to participate in the imperial examination, so that Koreans can really feel that they are really Han Chinese, and we Exactly the same." Wang Shu said.

"Yes, similar policies can also be used for Dali and Annan! Because these places are different from the barbarians, they have all been ruled by our Han people, and a large part of their citizens have migrated from various places in the Central Plains. Chinese language!" Zhao Chen looked at the map in front of him and laughed.

"Exactly, if Goryeo, Dali, Annan and other places all return to the Great Song Dynasty, our Great Song Dynasty will have a population of 10 million, which is several times that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the territory will truly exceed that of the Han and Tang Dynasties!" Wang Shu excitedly said .

"The world has been fighting for several years. Now, there is no foreign invasion in the Song Dynasty, but many of our fundamental systems have not yet been finalized! The Military Aircraft Department was established to deal with the war. Naturally, it can no longer be called the Military Aircraft Department. The Military Aircraft Department Responsibilities also need to be subdivided. Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, Six Departments, etc. should be completely removed from the court! In addition, the world used to be 23rd Road, but now we occupy Yanyun, Shangjing, Zhongjing, Liaodong, Goryeo, and Tubo ministries It has already surrendered to us, and the political regions of the world should be re-divided! In addition, the country's industry, agriculture, and commerce should not develop blindly. There should be certain goals and plans. I intend to call local ministers, generals in the army, important leaders of the production and construction corps, and people with prestige from all over the place to Yanjing to discuss this matter!" Zhao Chen said.
