Chapter 4782: Sent to Japan
Yuan Xiancheng knelt on the ground, paused with his head, and said sadly: "How dare the sinners have such treasonous and unethical thoughts? The Tang Dynasty conquered the world, and it was rampant in the world. Thousands of countries bowed their heads and proclaimed their vassalage. The sinners did not dare to have even a mantis to act as a chariot. Heart. It was just that the guilty minister was alone outside when Pingrang City was destroyed. Later, he was taken back into the mountains by the defeated soldiers, and had to move around for the sake of the life and death of his people. He fled in embarrassment, so he did not follow his father and return to the Tang Dynasty. However, the guilty minister had long admired the Wenzong of China and admired the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Now he went to the Tang Dynasty alone to plead with the Tang Dynasty to allow the guilty minister and his people to have a rich land to thrive. , then the Yuan family will be loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty for life, and will no longer be homeless and have no fixed place."
When I talked about it later, I burst into tears and burst into tears.
It's not all pretentious. The Yuan family has long been "not a royal family but better than a royal family" in Goguryeo. It would be biased to say that "one person is inferior to ten thousand people". They actually "share the world" with the Gao family. There is even more respect for honor than there is for it.
However, the city of Pingrang was destroyed, Goguryeo fell, and the Yuan family fell from the top of the clouds to the abyss. In the past, the young masters of the aristocratic family who used to be gorgeously dressed and had hordes of slaves were now running around the mountains and ravines like a bereaved dog. The gap is unacceptable.
At this point, how can we talk about "the desire to restore the country"? I only hope that I can gain the understanding and forgiveness of the Tang Dynasty, and be given a rich and peaceful land to settle down in the Tang Dynasty. From now on, I can thrive and continue my bloodline, and I will not hesitate to pay any price for this...
My father had been silent and frightened for a long time. He only wanted to survive. He didn't care whether his clan members lived or died or whether his family continued. He just lived in Handan drunkenly and dreamily.
Yuan Xiancheng can only rely on himself.
The nobleman behind the bead curtain was unmoved, his voice was still clear and sweet but calm and indifferent without any fluctuation: "The sages have long told us that if they are not of my race, their hearts must be different, and their ambitions in Rong and Di are not the same as those in China." So why should I? What about raising tigers? The greatness of China and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty do not need to be demonstrated by the surrender of your foreign tribes, and it does not matter whether you regard the Tang Dynasty as an enemy. The millions of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are ready to conquer all disobedients. br>
The sweetest voice speaks the harshest words. This is the confidence brought by having Datang at her back. No one dares to question her.
What's more, this charming beauty is said to be in charge of hundreds of warships of the "Eastern Datang Company" and more than ten thousand "guards" armed to the teeth. She is also able to mobilize the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty, and has the ability to slaughter an entire city and destroy an entire city with a single palm. country’s capabilities.
Yuan Xiancheng was so frightened that he took two steps forward on his knees and begged: "Is Goguryeo a foreign race? When King Wu conquered Zhou and established the Shang Dynasty in Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou's uncle Jizi led his people to cross the sea and established Jizi Korea, which continued Nearly a thousand years later, although it was destroyed by Wei Man, it belonged to the Yan Kingdom. , its territory includes the five kingdoms of Goguryeo, Zhenfan, Lintun, Woju, and Buyu, with an area of thousands of miles. Within the territory, people write Chinese characters, speak Chinese, and wear Han clothes. The blood of their ancestors has been passed down to this day. Today, The subjects of Goguryeo are all descendants of Chinese Miao people!”
The nobleman behind the bead curtain was speechless for a moment, as if he was not familiar with this period of history. He was silent for a while and asked Yu Baoning: "Mr. Yu, is this true?"
Yuan Xiancheng knelt on the ground, raised his head and winked at Yu Baoning crazily.
This man received a large sum of money from me, not only to introduce noble people, but also to persuade him from the side. As a result, he had been standing there without saying a word since he entered the building, as if he was staying out of the matter. Now he can speak for himself. Why are you still hesitating?
Are you embarrassed if you don’t do anything after receiving money? !
Yu Baoning didn't even look at Yuan Xiancheng, and naturally knew nothing about his eyes. Facing Wu Meiniang's inquiry, he pondered for a moment and thought: "Goguryeo can indeed be traced back to Jizi Korea. Although it has experienced There have been many vicissitudes of life, and the composition of the Chinese people is also extremely complicated, but it is not wrong to say that they are descendants of China.”
Yuan Xiancheng was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "That's right! Although Goguryeo is a country of its own, it was caused by many historical reasons. Regardless of the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty or the parallel existence of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the land of Liaodong was left alone. Here, Countless people living in chaos are unable to survive, Only then did we have to form a country of our own and form a self-governing people. Now that Zhengshuo of China has swept across Liuhe and unified all the wastelands, it is natural to re-include Goguryeo into the territory. The Miao descendants of China who have been abandoned for hundreds of years have returned to the rule of the Celestial Dynasty. I am also full of joy and tears!”
As for why Goguryeo was unwilling to return to the imperial territory when the emperors of the Sui and Tang dynasties were marching eastward, and why the "Chinese Miao" living in Goguryeo were not overjoyed, he never mentioned it. Anyway, he insisted that the land of Goguryeo belonged to the Chinese territory and the people of Goguryeo They are all Chinese Miao people, they are all one family, so we can’t just kill them all, right?
The nobleman behind the bead curtain remained silent for a while, and then said leisurely: "The Gao family has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and was given the title of 'King of Korea' by His Majesty, and was also granted the position of Governor of Liaodong. They are obedient ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Yuan Gaisuwen's conspiracy usurp Not only did the people of Goguryeo reject him for being disloyal and unjust, but he was also despised by the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty had a vast territory and was rich all over the world, there was no free land to accommodate such rebellious thieves. "
< br>
Yuan Xiancheng was in panic and despair, and cried bitterly: "I hope you will lower your curtain, my people are willing to give up all their wealth, just for a piece of land to live and settle down."
While crying, he stared at Yu Baoning, hoping that Yu Baoning could help speak.
Yu Baoning remained silent until an impatient cough came from behind the bead curtain, and then he spoke out: "My noble lord, it is clear that the Yuan family who entered the Tang Dynasty are extremely devout, and their family's hundreds of years of accumulation are willing to dedicate it with both hands." , I hope you will be sincere and open-minded.”
"Let him step aside first, I'll think about it."
"Here."
Yu Baoning gave Yuan Xiancheng a look and asked him to withdraw temporarily.
Yuan Xiancheng's eyes were filled with tears, and he cast a pleading look at Baoning. The latter nodded slightly and said that he would try his best, and then he exited the small building in three steps.
"Yu Baoning, you are so brave! Although Goguryeo fell, the Yuan clan is deeply rooted and prestigious. A little carelessness may lead to its resurrection. By then, the land of Liaodong will be in ruins, and the empire will not only have to sacrifice countless soldiers. You have to spend countless money and food to suppress the rebellion. It is related to the empire's strategy. How dare you collude with the traitor chief in private? What crime should you do? "
There was a slight sweat on Yu Baoning's forehead, and he said in panic: "I was negligent. I thought that Goguryeo had been destroyed and that the Yuan family had no way to recover, but I did not consider the danger at the imperial level. I really deserve to die."
The reason why he dared to privately agree to introduce Wu Meiniang to Yuan Xiancheng was because Yuan Xiancheng gave him too much and it was hard to refuse. On the other hand, he felt that Wu Meiniang was just Fang Jun's concubine. No matter how favored she was, she had to do it for her own sake. Considering the status, accepting the wealth accumulated by the Yuan family for a hundred years will definitely double his worth and increase his status.
A mere prostitute must have limited ambition and ambition. How could she resist the temptation of so much money and silk?
"Of course you deserve to die. You exchanged the national policies of the empire for your own interests. These thieves who have no family and country should be cut into pieces! Take the money and silk you received and rush to Chang'an with Yuan Xiancheng. Go and bear the thorn in front of His Majesty to plead guilty. , see if your majesty can give you a whole body!”
"Mrs. Wu, please spare your life!"
Yu Baoning was paralyzed with fear. All the confidence he had had before was gone. His whole body collapsed completely. He knelt down and begged for mercy regardless of his dignity.
"Well, no matter what, we should put our family and country first. How can we forget our own interests and put our personal interests above the interests of the empire? I thought that my family would fully cooperate with the measurement of the land and bribe you with the Yuan family. All the money and silk will be returned, and I will not pursue any further charges.”
"Here."
Yu Baoning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt heartache. After all, it was a fortune that even he, the head of the Yu family in Luoyang, could not remain indifferent to...
"I dare to ask Mrs. Wu, how should Yuan Xiancheng deal with it?"
"What Caiyuan Xiancheng said just now is actually not unreasonable. Although Goguryeo is a foreign country, its citizens are all descendants of Chinese Miao. Since its country has been overthrown and its government has been destroyed, why should it be regarded as a enemy and must be killed? Kill them all ? You go back and tell Yuan Xiancheng that he will hand over all his wealth to Su Dingfang for naval expenses, and then Su Dingfang will escort the Yuan family to Zhuzi Kingdom on a ship and thrive there. "
"Uh...here."
Yu Baoning was confused. He had vaguely heard the name "Zhuzi Country", and it seemed that it was over there in the Japanese Kingdom...
But now he didn't care about "Building Purple" or "Building Red". He only knew that Wu Meiniang not only asked him to vomit out everything he had eaten, but also wanted to swallow all the wealth of the Yuan family in one mouthful.
This woman looks charming, weak and reserved, but who would have expected that she is so evil and ruthless!
But he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.
*****
Return to Yu Mansion.
"Zhuzi Country?!"
Yuan Xiancheng's eyes widened, his expression dull as if he had been struck by lightning.
That is the place of Japan!
It doesn't matter if the Yuan family is attached to the Tang Dynasty. Although they gave up their ancestral land and left their hometown, they integrated into the most powerful country in the world and became a Tang Dynasty that attracted worldwide attention. But what does it mean if they went to the land of Japan?
If Tang people can't do it, why should they become Japanese people?
That's not as good as the Goguryeo people!
Yu Baoning was curious: "Where is this Zhuzi Kingdom?"
The relationship between Goguryeo and Japan was very close, and they were very familiar with each other. Yuan Xiancheng looked desperate and hopeless: "Build a purple island in the south of Japan." Yu Baoning still lacked an intuitive impression, so he asked the housekeeper to get a Draw the map of the Japanese Kingdom, find the location of the Zhuzi Kingdom, and go up He looked down and stroked his beard and said: "Although you are not allowed to enter the Tang Dynasty, and you are not allowed to stay in the hometown of Goguryeo... But I think the place of Tsukushi is not bad? It can be regarded as the most beautiful country in Japan after Asukakyo and Tonegawa. A prosperous place.”
