Steel Dynasty - Chapter 822

[Chapter 821 The survival of a small country]

“Ding Dong!”

The King of Korea’s sword fell to the ground and there was a sound of metal hitting the ground.

After wiping the blood on his face, the King of Goryeo said to the eunuchs expressionlessly: “Clean up the bedroom.”

After that, he and Huang Zisu walked towards the political hall in front.

When the news of the barbarians’ westward migration came, the repressed anger in the King of Korea finally broke out. All the humiliations Beishan had done to him in the past flashed through, making him crazy.

Now that Beishan was dead, how could he tolerate being with Beishan in front of him? His sullen princess.

Hundreds of ministers in the Council Hall were already waiting here. The arrival of Huang Zixu and the King of Korea made them concentrate.

“Your Majesty, it is indeed true that the Golden Horde Khanate moved westward. Now that the country of Dayu is so powerful, it is up to the King to give you an idea on how we, Gaoli, should deal with ourselves.” The

speaker was Zuo Yizheng Jin Xuancheng, who, together with Huang Zixu, Ren Nai was the two highest-ranking officials in Goryeo officialdom.

This problem also troubled the King of Goryeo. After venting his anger, he had to face another cruel reality. What should Goryeo do now after losing the protection of the Golden Horde?

The Japanese Kingdom in the south is watching with eager eyes, and the current Dayu Kingdom is another behemoth that can beat the Golden Horde to the north.

And Goryeo was firmly sandwiched between these two countries. At the same time, he knew in his heart that neither the Great Chongqing nor the Japanese would let Goryeo be safe.

The Golden Horde lost, and what followed was Goryeo’s nightmare.

Before the King of Goryeo could speak, Huang Zixu suddenly said: “Your Majesty, now we have no choice but to surrender to the Kingdom of Chongqing. I am willing to lead an envoy to Qingzhou to deliver letters of credence and tribute as a tribute to the Kingdom of Chongqing.” Suzerain country.”

As soon as Huang Zixu finished speaking, there was a deathly silence in the political hall. The civil and military ministers of the past were friendly to the Golden Horde, but now no one was willing to speak out.

They knew the strength of the Golden Horde. Dayu could easily defeat them, and dealing with Goryeo couldn’t be easier.

The loss of Haigu City and Bisha City made them realize the strength of the Chongqing army. It can be said that the current Goryeo is in danger of being destroyed at any time.

“Your Majesty, what Lord You Yizheng said is absolutely true. Now we should surrender to the Great Chongqing Kingdom. In this way, we can use the Great Chongqing Kingdom to drive away the Japanese pirates and take back the land in the south. Isn’t the so-called suzerainty just for us to use? As long as you achieve your goal, what if you lower your head temporarily?”

A minister knelt on the ground and shouted.

“Your Majesty, this is the way for the weak to survive. Using a strong country to survive has always been the path we pursue. I hope your Majesty will think twice.”

The King of Goryeo looked at the ministers in silence. Although he was extremely aggrieved, but now this That’s the fact. The wisest choice now is to send a mission to Dayu.

“My dear friends, what you said is right. Dayu wants to give it the false name of suzerain. Aren’t every suzerain been used by us for hundreds of years? As long as it is a little humble, Dayu can be driven away by us. The king of Japan is willing to endure this humiliation,” the King of Goryeo said firmly.

Although he spoke impassionedly and acted like he was serving the country and the people, what he really wanted to keep was his throne, glory and wealth.

“Your Majesty is wise.”

The ministers shouted in unison. Even the ministers who used to be friendly to the Golden Horde were happy. They were close to the Golden Horde for the sake of survival, and now they are also close to the Great Chongqing for the sake of survival.

Huang Zixu breathed a sigh of relief and said, “In that case, I am going to Qingzhou in a few days.”

The King of Goryeo nodded and said, “Take the prince with you and let him stay in Qingzhou as a hostage. To appease the Emperor of Dayu.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Huang Zixu said happily.

After settling the matter, the King of Goryeo waved his hand to let the ministers disperse.

At this time, Huang Zixu led other ministers out of the political hall and headed for his mansion. When he returned home, Huang Zixu hurried back to his room and shouted: “Quick, bring Wuxiang!”

The servants heard this After a while, he brought over a bamboo tube for smoking black incense, and at the same time, he also held some powder in his hand.

Huang Zixu’s face showed morbid excitement. He picked up the pipe and puffed on the flame of the candle, looking very much enjoying himself.

While he was smoking black incense, Huang Bing’an appeared outside the door. He said to his father who was enjoying it: “Dad, why didn’t you wait for me.”

After that, he also lay on the bed and smoked with Huang Zixu. stand up.

Huang Zixu glanced at Huang Bing’an and said, “You just came back from Haigu City? How much did you lose this time?”

“Not much, only a thousand taels of silver. For our family’s business, this amount of money is not worth it. “

Nothing.” Huang Bingan said lightly.

“Humph, this is all under the care of President Li. From now on, when you go to Haigu City, don’t just focus on gambling. You must also establish a good relationship with President Li. Now that the barbarians have been defeated by the Great Chongqing Kingdom, Goryeo will immediately switch to the Great Chongqing. “Chongqing.” Huang Zixu said, “I told the king today that I am going to Qingzhou as an envoy. Go and send a message to President Li and tell him that I will lead the envoy to Haigu City in three days. He discussed the matter of this mission.”

Huang Bing’an raised his eyebrows and said, “Dad, you always said that I was useless before. What happened now? If President Li and I hadn’t known each other, our Huang family would not be like this. By chance, when you come back from Qingzhou this time, you are the most powerful official in Goryeo.”

Huang Zixu smiled, “Hahaha, this is the only serious thing you have ever done. When you come back from Dayu this time, I think so. Let’s see how Jin Xuancheng fights with me.”

“Hehehehe…” Huang Bing’an also laughed proudly and said, “Dad, what do you think of King Wuxiang?”

“Needless to say, it’s a dream. , otherwise the king would not agree to this beautiful thing of mine.” A sharp look flashed in Huang Zixu’s eyes.

…

In the Goryeo Palace, the blood here has been washed away. Returning to the palace, the Goryeo King yawned, and then asked people to offer black incense.

This thing was sent by Huang Zixu, and he was hooked after smoking it twice. It can be said that one puff can relieve a thousand worries.

While puffing on the clouds, the King of Goryeo recalled the history of Goryeo, thinking that he had done nothing wrong this time, because at any time in history, they would choose to rely on the Central Plains dynasty when it was strong.

When it was weak, it took the opportunity to seize land. It was this strategy that allowed Goryeo’s land to continue to expand, from the south to the Yalu and Tumen rivers.

Later, the ancestors of Goryeo migrated people from the south to the north on a large scale. At the same time, they built 26 cities and 16 fortresses and finally completely occupied this vast land.

When the Great Yu Kingdom was in decline, he also wanted to follow the example of the previous king and invade the Changbai Mountains. However, the Golden Horde was too overbearing and prevented him from succeeding. This has always been a regret for him.
