In the 16th year of Yanguang, under the strong suggestion of the second assistant Lu Zhengchu at that time, the Chu Dynasty planned to rebuild Dongjiang Town, but nine large ships were destroyed by the Korean Navy in the waters of Pidao. In December of that year, North Korea sent envoy Jin Xuhao to the Chu Dynasty to question, and Jin Xuhao did not leave again.

At this time, Jin Xihao was sitting against each other with Ren Shuliang, the right Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple of the Chu Dynasty.

Ren Shuliang said with a little panic: "Mr. Jin, why bother to provoke Wang Xiao? That person is not easy to provoke."

Jin Xihao smiled and said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of?"

Ren Shuliang lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Jin, aren't you being used as a gun by Master He?"

His tone was quite intimate and pleasing.

This made Jin Xihao very satisfied. How many North Korean envoys have been treated so carefully by the fifth-rank officials of the Great Chu?

"You Ge He is a smart person." Jin Xihao turned the teacup in his hand and shook his head, "You can see the general trend of the world clearly in the capital, but you can't figure out this number."

He said, gestured with his hands a 'ten'.

"Where do you start with this?" Ren Shuliang said in a daze.

Jin Xuhao sighed and talked loudly: "When Chu founded, Emperor Taizu listed North Korea as a 'non-demanding country', and our country also admired the style of the Chu Dynasty. The king and his ministers remained at peace until now, which is a beautiful talk."

Ren Shuliang couldn't stand the slander in front of him, and didn't know what he did so far. He thought to himself: Is that a beautiful talk? It's not because you are a small country, and it's useless to conquer it.

But he had to agree.

Jin Xihao said again: "More than fifty years ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent troops to invade, and our North Korea lost three capitals in just one month, and eight roads collapsed. If the Chu army had not entered the aid, the country would have been destroyed at that time."

Ren Shu said conscientiously: So your small country is useless. Back then, I couldn't even raise the food and grass of my 40,000 troops of the Chu Dynasty, and I had to go out.

"The diplomatic relations between the two countries are important to be harmonious."

The two looked at each other, and a kind smile appeared on their faces, but they both secretly despised each other.

But after hearing Jin Xuhao's tone, he said, "But now the situation has changed, the Qing Dynasty has risen, and its momentum is unstoppable."

"Jiannu just..."

Before Ren Shuliang finished speaking, Jin Xiuhao interrupted: "Jiannu? Hehe, you have never seen the sharp momentum of the Eight Banners. The battle in the first year of Chongde was shocking and shocking!"

Ren Shuliang was stunned for a moment, wanting Jin Xuhao not to use Jiannu's reign name, so he whispered: "It's ten years of reign."

Jin Xuhao ignored it and just waved his hand.

Ren Shuliang was no longer confident and dared not mention it again.

"The Qing army can defeat 7,000 Japanese pirates!" Jin Xihao took two deep breaths and looked at Ren Shuliang and said solemnly: "This is not a false statement. The Emperor Chongde of the Qing Dynasty was extremely talented and wise, with extraordinary civil and military skills. He cultivated political affairs internally, attacked externally, worked hard to govern, and used troops like a god. He was indeed the posture of a great emperor."

Ren Shuliang's face changed drastically. He looked around and whispered guiltily: "Don't say this here."

"Cover your ears and steal the bell." Jin Xihao pointed at him, sneered, and said, "The Lord of our country has long knelt on Emperor Chongde three times and kowtowed nine times, accepted the enthronement of the Qing Dynasty, and sent me here to ask why your country had occupied Pi Island for no reason. Am I afraid of saying this?"

Ren Shuliang murmured and couldn't speak.

Jin Xuhao said again: "Emperor Chongde inherited the will of Emperor Taizu of Qing 'entering the Central Plains', and his future achievements will never be inferior to Wanyan Aguda. In other words, the territory of the Qing Dynasty will be much greater than that of the Jin Kingdom in the future... Unfortunately, many people are still obsessed with it. There are people like this in Korea, and the Chu Dynasty is even more stolen."

"These people can't see clearly, but I can see clearly, and the king also see clearly. The king had no choice but to support Dongjiang Town. Now, when he thought about surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he still had to sigh and burst into tears. Even every year in the first month of the year, he set up tablets in the palace and cried to the Central Plains west... Do you know how admiring the Chu Dynasty style? But what's the use? Isn't he going to surrender to the Qing Dynasty?"

Ren Shuliang sighed, not knowing how to speak.

"To be honest, I admire the Han family's clothes. Who is not like this in North Korea?" Jin Xuhao sighed: "But the situation is stronger than people. The Qing army can defeat 7,000 Japanese pirates. No one can stop it in front of the general trend."

"At present, it is useless to say more of these things. I might as well tell you that the purpose of staying in this capital is, on the surface, I came to question Pidao, but in fact..."

Ren Shuliang suddenly felt a little unwilling to listen.

Jin Xihao suddenly said that the power of Jiannu was definitely not aimless.

After reaching the fifth rank, Ren Shuliang still had this alertness. He stood up in panic and said, "I have something to do..."

"Actually, I am the eyes of the Qing court." Jin Xuhao took a sip of tea and said the words in his mouth without hesitation. He said, "I am on the order of the Dragon Bone to see which officials in the Chu Dynasty admire the Qing Dynasty."

Ren Shuliang's face turned pale in an instant.

He knew that the "big dragon bone" mentioned by the Koreans refers to the British and Erdai, a Zhengbai Banner. He has been on missions to North Korea for many years and is good at financial management and diplomacy.

"I, I...I didn't hear anything." Ren Shuliang murmured.

"Look at you, what are you afraid of?" Jin Xihao said: "I am not a meticulous worker in the army, and I will not let Lord Ren do anything."

Ren Shuliang breathed a little relieved.

"But what impression does Lord Ren want to leave on me?" Jin Xihao smiled proudly again and asked, "The dynasty will change in the future. Do you want to continue to live with glory and wealth, or do you want to... die with your own martyrdom?"

Ren Shuliang's beard was shaking gently, and he didn't dare to leave, but he didn't dare to sit down.

"Sit down." Jin Xuhao said, "You asked me just now, why are you going to provoke Wang Xiao?"

Ren Shuliang was stunned for a moment and sat down carefully.

"I just said that Japan invaded our North Korea more than 50 years ago, and this incident had a profound impact." Jin Xihao said: "DPRK lost its country and restored its country; Japan's Toyotomi power was weakened, Tokugawa Ieyasu took the opportunity to establish a shogunate; Chu's national strength was damaged, and Liaozhen's troops were reduced; Qing Taizu got this opportunity to expand his power... But do you know that battle, why did the Chu Dynasty finally negotiate peace even after a great victory?"

"Taicang deficit, poor food and grass, deadlock in the war..."

"There is another point, the plague." Jin Xihao said: "At that time, both the Chu Dynasty and the North Korea were severely plague."

Ren Shuliang nodded: "It's also one of the reasons."

Jin Xihao sighed: "It's a pity that there was no such person as Wang Xiao back then, and it's even more a pity that there is such a person now. It's too late..."

He poured another cup of tea and said, "This is just one of the reasons why I killed Wang Xiao. Another reason is that Mr. He Ge. He is a smart person who can see the general trend clearly. Therefore, I hope he can gain more power and go to a higher position. If he asks for help, I am willing to take action. Anyway, this is just a small matter, killing someone."

Ren Shuliang stared at him and murmured: "Old Ge... He turned to Jian... has he passed?"

Jin Xuhao didn't answer, but just looked at Ren Shuliang's eyes and said, "Smart people have smart people's choices. What about Lord Ren? How do you plan to choose? Don't consider yourself, but also think about your family and children."

Ren Shuliang's body shook and became extremely embarrassed.

But he suddenly thought of a question in his mind: If He Liangyuan really defected, Jin Xiuhao would definitely not tell him.

So they are just working together?

But He Liangyuan has a unique position and can only maintain a cooperative relationship, but he does not have that strength... How should he choose?

The next moment, someone suddenly bumped into the door and reported to Jin Xuhao in Korean with a panic look.
