South Korea, Xinzheng City.
In the deep palace, I don’t know how many conspiracies are hidden on weekdays, and how many people are scheming and plotting inside, trying to figure out the honor and disgrace of this moment.
In the grand and bright hall, King Han sat high on the throne, looking down at his ministers from top to bottom.
The most powerful people in South Korea are all gathered here. Han Kaidi, the prime minister of South Korea who represents the civilian group, General Ji Wuye who represents the military general group, plus several other important ministers from various departments, decide the fate of millions of people in South Korea. The leaders are concentrated in this small hall.
"Everyone, tell me, what etiquette should I use in Korea to welcome this so-called King Jing?" King Han looked around and found that none of the ministers wanted to speak first, so he had to do it himself.
"Your Majesty, this barbarian refuses to obey the etiquette of kings. He lives in a bitter cold frontier and dares to call himself the emperor. He is a barbarian chief and dares to call himself King Jing. He is really arrogant. I propose that he should be expelled from Korea to show our respect for Korea. Etiquette!" South Korea's Prime Minister Kai Kaidi, who always pays attention to etiquette, has always been disgusted with these arrogant barbarians.
"Huh, expulsion from South Korea is really a shame that the prime minister can express his words. I heard that this is different from Britain, which has a territory of thousands of miles, millions of names, and more than 800,000 soldiers who are good at fighting. At the same time, they live in a bitter cold land. Extremely brave and brave, not inferior to the tiger and wolf Qin, we have rashly offended, Luo Qi, sent troops to attack South Korea, how to deal with it?" General Ji Wuye snorted coldly and sneered.
"What the general said is true. Prime Minister, this time it is indeed inappropriate. The Yu Kingdom is a tiger and wolf country. As soon as it appeared in front of the world, it defeated the originally weak Yan Kingdom into half a cripple. From then on, it fell into decline and did not pay any attention. It seems that the reputation of the great country cannot be recovered!" As General Ji Wuye's number one henchman in the court, Zuo Sima Liu Yi was the first to agree.
"What the general said is true, and all the ministers thought that what the general said was an old man's advice to seek the country!" In the court, most of the officials ran out and bowed down to the King of Han.
"You... you..." Zhang Kaidi did not expect that so many people in the court were against him, pointing at them angrily and unable to speak.
What made him angry was not that they opposed his opinions, but that he didn't expect that so many people would collude with Ji Wuye, forming such a deep-rooted party, and having such a deep influence on South Korea.
Angry and angry, he couldn't help but want to find some people to support him. He turned his attention to the other ministers who had not spoken, but found that many of them lowered their heads or turned their eyes to look at him, not daring to look at him.
These cronies that he usually cultivated were unwilling to support him at this time. Although they did not support Ji Wuye, this neutral attitude undoubtedly made his heart feel cold in an instant.
"Your Majesty, although the Prime Minister's proposal is good and in line with what South Korea has always advocated, it is not in line with South Korea's current national conditions. South Korea has been weak for a long time. It is really not in South Korea's interests to rashly conflict with a powerful country like Yuguo!" The ministers who remained neutral, under the attention of their Prime Minister and the King, also had the courage to speak.
"Well, since all the dear ministers do not agree with the expulsion, then you tell me, what etiquette should we use in Korea to welcome King Jing? Should we use the etiquette to welcome the king of a country, or the etiquette of ordinary envoys?" Thinking of this, King Han asked. Some headache.
Zhong Yu's title is King Jing, which is the same level as King Han's. However, King Han is the king of a country, while Zhong Yu is an ordinary king under the king in a country.
There is an essential difference between the two identities. To greet him as a monarch is, to a certain extent, disrespectful and humiliating to South Korea.
However, to greet Zhong Yu with the etiquette of welcoming ordinary envoys is an insult to Zhong Yu, who has the title of king. Faced with the dilemma, the King of Han wanted to find the ministers in the court to see if there was any way to get the best of both worlds.
"Your Majesty, since you can't expel him, you can't welcome him as a king. At most, you can treat him as an ordinary envoy!" Hearing King Han's question, Zhang Kaikai hurriedly persuaded.
"Your Majesty, it's natural to welcome him as an ordinary envoy. Although I'm a little dismissive of Prince Jing, as long as we treat him carefully and carefully, I won't cause too much hostility to him!" Ji Wuye also said, but It seems that he is not finished yet.
"So, the general also agrees with the prime minister's words?" King Han was a little surprised, why did the general, who had always been opposed to the prime minister, change his attitude today and support the prime minister's words
Hearing Ji Wuye's reply, Zhang Zhangdi was also a little curious and surprised, and looked at Ji Wuye with a slightly incredulous look.
But before Kaidai's surprise and joy could last long, he was broken by Ji Wuye's other words.
"But, Your Majesty, I have to mention one thing! South Korea is the weakest among all the countries in the world. To put it bluntly, it is not even as good as the Yan country that was just given to Lou's interests by Yu State. At the very least, South Korea's land is less than The State of Yan is not as vast as Yan State, and now there is only one county left, while the State of Yan still has three counties!" Ji Wuye said something that seemed to have nothing to do with welcoming the envoy, and caused the King of Han to change his expression.
"These lonely kings know it, so what do you mean?" King Han's tone was filled with anger. Even though he knew in his heart that South Korea was weak, it was impossible not to be angry when one of his ministers pointed it out to him. of.
"Your Majesty, please calm down your anger and listen to what I have to say in detail." Ji Wuye said this first, looked at King Han's face, and then continued.
"South Korea is located at the junction of the four kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Wei, and Chu. It can be said to be a place of four wars. It is not conducive to long-term defense. In addition, it has lost many areas such as Shangdang. As for the land of one county, the strategic depth has shrunk significantly. At this time, if other countries send troops to attack , within a few days, troops will arrive at Xinzheng City and endanger the country!" Ji Wuye stopped at this point.
"General, is there any way to change this situation?" King Han sneered and asked before he spoke.
"In today's situation, South Korea may be destroyed at any time. It is absolutely impossible to survive or even expand by relying on the power of South Korea alone. In this case, we need to find other forces to intervene and help South Korea. Continue to survive!" At the end, Ji Wuye's tone became firm.
"Oh, what the general means is that he wants to find Yu Guo as foreign aid!" When King Han heard this, he suddenly understood what the general wanted to say after he had been beating around the bush for so long!
