Chapter 31 Chapter 102 Dig Your Own Hole and Bury Itself

Liu Songgeng was suffocated when he heard this, and was speechless for a while. Xia Xun said with a smile: Li Chenggui is the father of Li Fangyuan, the current King of Korea. His father belonged to Goryeo, and Li Chenggui became king in Hongwu twenty-five years.The grandfather of the King of Korea was an ex-official of the Yuan Dynasty. Is it any surprise that his ancestral grave is in Liaodong? Xia Xun glanced at all the civil and military people who were listening to the debate, and said: "If this is the case, Liaodong should belong to North Korea. Then, my Great Ming Taizu Gao Emperor's enthronement edict once said that the Ming Dynasty was in the Yuan Dynasty and inherited the Yuan Dynasty. Is it possible to say that the father and ancestor of your King of Korea was a survivor of the Yuan Dynasty, so the land under your King of Korea's jurisdiction should be included in my Ming Dynasty's direct jurisdiction?

Civil and military personnel on the left and right let out relaxed laughter, and Zhu Di behind the curtain also smiled, stroked his beard lightly, and glanced out. Liu Songgeng's brains turned sharply, and he hurriedly argued: "Master, you have misunderstood. Liu mentioned that the tomb of the great king's ancestors is in Liaodong. It is not based on this that Liaodong should be owned by us in North Korea." Just as Xia Xun knew that no matter how clear the refutation was, it was impossible to force Li Fangyuan to cede the northern part of the Korean peninsula to Daming. Liu Songgeng also knew that even if he talked about hype, it was impossible for Daming to give up the entire Liaodong to North Korea.Deliberately proposing an impossible goal is just a negotiating technique. If you make a concession in this matter, your real negotiating intention will be easily accepted by the other party.

Seeing Xia Xun digging a hole for him to jump, Liu Songgeng took the opportunity to take a step back and continued: "My king's ancestor, although an old minister of the Yuan Dynasty, was indeed a member of the Koryo tribe."When Liu mentioned this matter, he just wanted to explain that the ancestral land of our Koryo people is not limited to the Korean island, the area to the east of the Yalu River and Tumen River was the place where our Koryo people lived together a long time ago.I think the Duke should have heard of Goguryeo, right? As soon as Liu Songgeng said these words, the hearts of many civil and military officials sank: it's broken!Goguryeo used to be active in the Liaodong area, which is recorded in history. Therefore, people applied for the sovereignty of part of the Liaodong territory. Is it wrong?How should we deal with it now?

In fact, they were all wrong, because Goguryeo has always been an ethnic group living in northern China, and its name is similar to Goryeo, so they intuitively thought that Goguryeo was the predecessor of Goryeo, but it was not. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, a little Tatar prince came out of Mobei. The two sides had fought for decades, but they still often made troubles and took other tribal leaders as the little Tatar prince. With so little understanding, it is no surprise that this illusion arises.When Liu Songgeng declared his sovereignty to the Ming Emperor earlier, he had raised a similar point of view. Xia Xun had already paid attention to it, and was fully prepared in this regard.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Songgeng's words fell, Wang Yi came out more and more, coughed, and said solemnly: Your Excellency's words are wrong. What does Goguryeo have to do with your Korean Goryeo clan? As soon as this sentence was said, not only Liu Songgeng was startled, but even many civil and military officials were also startled: Isn't it? Wang Yidao: Goguryeo is a nomadic tribe in northern Saibei. Taking advantage of the war between the Three Kingdoms, the Jin and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it once occupied the four counties of the Han Dynasty. Later, it was completely destroyed by the Tang Dynasty. All its tribes were removed and assimilated into other regions. Of course, some of them stayed in North Korea and became the Koreans of today.But as Liu Juanshu said, when Jizi entered the court, he was welcomed and made king by the Korean people, which does not mean that North Korea should return to China because of this.In the same way, some Goguryeo people stayed in North Korea after the subjugation of the country, and were accepted as Koreans by the Korean people, which does not mean that the Korean people can inherit everything from the Goguryeo people!

Wang Yi's words have been memorized for a long time. He knew that he was going to say these words in front of the emperor. He really worked harder than he did in the imperial examinations. The prestige makes both trembling, and there is no mistake in reciting a word of these words. Wang translated: You claim to be the descendants of Goguryeo. You should know that according to your "Remains of the Three Kingdoms", Prince Ju Mong of Buyeo escaped from Buyeo and established Goguryeo because of discord with other princes. , Before Jizi entered the court, there were already residents in the local area, who respectfully welcomed him as king because they admired his civilization.Then, did the inherent residents of the main island of Korea exist before or after?

If Ju Mong, the prince of Buyeo, built Goguryeo to create today's Korea, then before Jizi entered the dynasty, wouldn't it be that there were no residents in Korea before, and it was first discovered by Chinese people?You say Goguryeo is the ancestor of today's North Korea, so where are the earlier North Korean residents?Could it be that whichever statement is beneficial to you, which ancestor do you recognize? Everyone around laughed loudly, Liu Songgeng's face darkened, and he waved his sleeves angrily: "It's unreasonable, you and I are arguing for truth, please don't speak rudely!"

Yan Chao said: All right, then let's talk about the truth.The Goguryeo people have common surnames such as Ulji and Yeongai, and they have been counted throughout North Korea. Is there such a surname? Liu Songgeng rolled his eyes, and argued, "People in China, in ancient times, were there Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu and Zheng Wang?"Can the change of surname erase the relationship between Goguryeo and Goryeo? Xia Xun clapped his hands, which startled Liu Songgeng. He was afraid that Xia Xun would clap his hands now. For this cannibalistic Duke, clapping his hands would be a bad thing.

Sure enough, Xia Xun nodded seriously, and said: Yes, the change of the surname does not prove that Goryeo is not the continuation of Goguryeo.Just as the State of Song in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods is completely different from the State of Song before the Yuan Dynasty.But then again, this Song and that Song are exactly the same word by word, and it is still impossible to prove the inheritance relationship between each other, so how to prove that the two clans of Goguryeo and Goryeo, which have a one-letter difference, are originally one clan? Li Yetian and Wu Qingyu turned around and brought over a large pile of ancient books. The paper was yellowed, the corners of the paper were turned up, and there were even rubbings of inscriptions and a few bundles of bamboo slips. They researched a lot of materials, but there was no special discussion on this aspect. Therefore, there can only be one sentence here and one sentence there, combined from the fragments involved in other deed records, and pieced together into relatively complete information.

But they are doing this job, and they don't think it's hard work, and it's quite fun to work tirelessly. Wang Yi took out a written material and started to read. Next to him, Yan Chao, Li Yetian, and Wu Qingyu would find out the corresponding classics and historical materials every time he read the source of a sentence of historical materials, and put them there in order. As proof, the four of them cooperated very well. Wang translated: Goguryeo was built by Zhu Meng from Fuyu in the first year of Jianzhao in the Han Dynasty. The capital was at Xuanhe Shenggu City, Goguryeo County, Xuantu County, which belonged to the Han Dynasty (now Wunvshan City, Huanren Manchu Autonomous County in eastern Liaoning Province).After the founding of Jumong, the country of Boliu (in today's Fuerjiang River Basin) came to settle down.After that, Zhu Meng sent troops to successively conquer the tribes in the southeast of Changbai Mountain (approximately in the area of ​​Cijiang Road in present-day Korea), and conquered Bei Woju (in the present-day Tumen River Basin).

He put down the materials, and said again: Please note that the place where Goguryeo was founded is in Liaodong, not North Korea.Only because the sphere of influence of Goguryeo once reached North Korea, and the names of the two clans are similar, some people confuse them.Here I also have the first volume of "Historical Records of the Three Kingdoms" published by Gyeongju Prefecture in the third year of the Taizu of the Li Dynasty in your country. According to the above, the time of the establishment of the three kingdoms of Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo is almost the same. From a geographical point of view, Silla and Baekje are in the same place. The land of three Koreas, while Goguryeo occupies most of Liaodong and a small part of northern North Korea, which can also prove what I just said. Goguryeo died after Datang and Silla. After Goguryeo died, its tribes were relocated separately and belonged to other countries. Oh, it was mentioned in this book that about 300,000 people were naturalized in Datang at that time. The famous Tang general Gao Xianzhi It's Goguryeo.In addition, about 100,000 people belonged to Silla.In the last years of Silla, the descendants of the royal family of Silla established Taifeng Kingdom. In the third year of Liao Shenchu, the descendants of Gong were killed by the general Wang Jian and became kings, and changed the name of the country to Koryo. Snapped! Xia Xun clapped his hands again, Liu Songgeng's cheeks twitched, and Xia Xun said loudly: The Song Dynasty built by Zhao Kuangyin was not the Song Dynasty of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States.The Zhou Dynasty established by Wu Zetian was not the Zhou Dynasty established by Ji Fa; the Goryeo established by Wang Jian in the third year of Liao Shenchu ​​was not the Goguryeo established by Zhu Mong in the first year of Han Jianzhao! Liu Songgeng's face was ashen, and he didn't say a word. Wang Yi said with a smile: "These are all recorded by the ancients, and they are very detailed. If you don't believe Liu Juanshu, you can look them up."We've sorted it out so clearly that you won't get dizzy with fatigue.I believe that the ancients hundreds of thousands of years ago would not have known about the disputes of today's descendants, so they did it early, right? Xia Xun said: "If Judgment Liu thinks that the land owned by the natives of North Korea belongs to North Korea, then please give me the northern half of North Korea, which is the former home of the Three Hans, and it belongs to us; The king of Goguryeo, who participated in the Three Kingdoms struggle for hegemony in North Korea, once occupied North Korea, and North Korea had the right to claim Liaodong. Then Jizi once ruled the whole of North Korea, please give me the whole of North Korea, it belongs to us! Old Judge Liu's lips were black and blue, and he said tremblingly: You, you, you! Zhu Di suppressed a smile and coughed, stopped drinking and said: Yang Xu, don't be presumptuous! Xia Xun smiled, then leaned back and stepped aside. Zhu Di asked with a straight voice: "Liu Juanshu, today's straight debate, are you convinced?"Is there anything else to say? Liu Songgeng gritted his teeth and knelt down, and said in a low voice: "I have nothing to say!" Um! Zhu Di said indifferently: "Then go back and tell Li Fangyuan that you can govern the region and hope that the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and don't listen to people's slander and wild thinking!" Liu Songgeng was ashamed, and responded in a low voice, which he couldn't even hear. When he withdrew, Zhu Di lifted the bead curtain and walked out, glanced at the four old men with a smile, and said with a smile on his face: "You guys, would you like to go to Yanjing and be a councilor?" Behind the screen in the side compartment, Empress Xu gave her a thumbs up, made a gesture, and walked out together. Today, I drank the wine to celebrate the victory, and my ambition was not rewarded.Come to Japan to show off your talents and write about the Spring and Autumn Period with sweet blood Xia Xun hummed and sang a song and entered her residence. As soon as she entered, Ming'er threw her red face into his arms with a smile, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said with a beaming smile: Mr. You are amazing!What a great, great liar! Xia Xun smiled and said: You girl, are you eavesdropping again?Then he said solemnly: Heck, this is not a lie, this is the principle of righteousness and strictness!It's about the state system, don't talk nonsense! yes my lord With a long voice, Ming'er said coquettishly: Got it Then she leaned forward, kissed him hard on the cheek, and called out sweetly: "Big, liar, son!"
