Inner city of Shangjing, Chongwenguan. The Korean envoy Cui Zi is reading a book called "Three Hundred Tang Poems" edited and published by Shangjing First Publishing House. Although this is just a literacy journal suitable for junior college students in Eastern Mongolia, the literary value it contains cannot be ignored.

There are also literary books such as "Three Hundred Song Ci" and "The Analects of Confucius", which are cheap and well-printed. Cui Ziji came to Shangjing and almost most of his money was spent on buying various books in Eastern Mongolia.

In addition, he also bought a lot of non-literary books such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and "Agricultural Issue" and other non-literary books. Although he was not very able to understand, he felt that the knowledge recorded in it was very necessary for Goryeo.

Just as he was amazed at the literary atmosphere contained in Tang poetry, a servant suddenly came to report it to the courtesan who sent the inner supervisor to Chongwenguan.

As an institution for resettlement of envoys, the name of Chongwenguan was taken by Ulutus. It is intended to demonstrate the dominant position of Eastern Mongolia and thus promote the core of Han culture possessed by Eastern Mongolia.

"What? Is this true?" Cui Zi was a little unbelievable.

He had already been on an envoy to Eastern Mongolia before the Battle of Northeast China ended. However, Ulutus had been summoning him to the scene, which resulted in him having to wait. Now, when he finally heard that people from the palace came, he stood up excitedly.

But he had been kneeling for too long, so his legs became a little numb. He suddenly turned black and almost fell to the ground. The servant was still quick-eyed and he quickly supported his body.

"Hurry! Take me to meet the envoy." Cui Zi did not dare to delay, and while tidying up his wrinkled clothes, he quickly walked out of the room.

You should know that the Mongols were very arrogant in Goryeo. Although Eastern Mongolia was not a Mongolian Khanate, they were also Mongolians. Cui Zi also hoped that Ulutus could be kind and return to Goryeo's hometown of Xijing, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it.

This was also the melee between the Three Kingdoms in the Northeast in the old year! At that time, the Liao Kingdom was defeated by the Dazhen Kingdom, causing a large number of scattered soldiers to pour into Goryeo. Later, in order to prevent the Khitans from causing trouble for themselves, the Jurchens followed the army southward and occupied the land of Ping'an North Korea in later generations.

When the Eastern Mongolian army arrived, it was even more amazing than the Jurchens. In the name of clearing the enemy, they occupied all the north of the Datong River. Even the Pyongyang Prefecture in Xijing was occupied casually.

Now it has become the prefecture of Pingzhou, Liaoning Province!

Because he could not beat him, Goryeo had to send envoys to seek peace from the Eastern Mongolia so that he could get back the lost land by surrendering.

But Wulutus just disappeared, which also led to Cui Zi being stranded in Shangjing.

When he arrived at the front yard, the inner supervisor Wang Ning coughed his throat and said, "He summoned the king and the envoy of Xuan Goryeo Cui Zi, I will immediately enter the palace to see you, I will be honored!"

"Thank you for your kindness!" After Cui Zi knelt down and received the imperial edict, he sent someone to give Wang Ning some Mongolian Yuan, and then said, "My father-in-law is really hard. I just don't know what the king is doing to summon his envoy?"

After weighing the Mongol Yuan in his sleeves, Wang Ning smirked and said, "The king is thinking, how can I guess me? Messenger Cui should follow me quickly."

Hearing this, Cui Zi thought it was because of the lack of money, so he winked at the servant, and the other party immediately moved to the backyard. After a while, he brought a tray over.

Wang Ning lifted the covered red cloth and glanced at it, and couldn't help swallowing. Because it was filled with golden Mongolian gold coins!

"I'm sorry, I hope the prince will accept it." Cui Zi said with some distress.

"Okay, okay! Cui Zhi is so kind, wouldn't it be too unreasonable if I don't accept it?" Wang Ning smiled and asked the guards who followed him to collect the pallet, and then said to Cui Zi: "Actually, I don't know the king's thoughts! But the meaning from the Privy Council seems to be related to food."

Before coming, Wang Ning asked the Inner Supervisor Hunur for instructions. Moreover, the act of collecting money was also approved by Hunur. After returning to the palace, he would hand it over to the warehouse.

This is also to prevent the corruption of the internal supervisors from becoming a trend and destroying the court. The secret guards also supervise the internal supervisors, so in fact, Wang Ning did not dare to collect money randomly.

Cui Zi didn't know the news he bought for money, so he wanted to reveal it to him. When he heard the word "food shortage", his face suddenly became unfavorable. Mongolian envoys always spoke in Goryeo, asking for countless tributes.

Is this shortage of food? Could it be that Goryeo has to pay a lot of food and grass for free?

With a heavy mood, he followed Wang Ning's car to the inner city. Because of his bad mood, he had no intention of watching the bustling scenery of the streets along the way.

When he arrived in the inner city, he found that there seemed to be a lot of people meeting him. And each of them had a different identity.

Because in the conference hall, the Minister of the Privy Council and the Governor's Office were both sitting on the side of the long table, and the head was the young Eastern Mongolian king, Ulutus.

"King! The man has been brought here!" Wang Ning said, then quietly retreated and closed the door.

"Choi Zi, the envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom, pay homage to the king!" No matter what, the etiquette must be done.

But Ulutus did not let him get up, but Quan Xu spoke on behalf of the Governor's Office, saying, "What's the reason why you, the small country of Goryeo, dare to hide the Liaodong rebels?"

This was really like thunder, and Cui Zi thought he had heard it wrong. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's a pity! Our Goryeo country is a poor man, and we have always served the Mongolian country with great respect. How dare we hide the traitors!"

"How do you tell me the rebels in the north of the Yangtze River?" Quan Xu continued to ask.

Cui Zi thought to himself, hasn't it all become Pingzhou of your Eastern Mongols? Why did you ask this question again at this time? Should you return to Goryeo? Then he said: "The old rebels were really powerful, and our Goryeo Kingdom could not resist. Now with the help of Mongolian heavenly soldiers, the rebels north of the Tongjiang River have no place to stand."

"Hmph! Even so, there is still no rebellion here. I think you are quite respectful in serving the Goryeo Kingdom. The king has already established a county here. I believe that our Mongolian Iron Cavalry will suppress the enemy in Pingzhou, and the rebels will no longer have the possibility of rebellion. But the army has been stationed in a long time. Since your Goryeo Kingdom is unable to resist the enemy, please send some food and grass to repay our Mongolian Iron Cavalry's suppression!"

"What?!" Cui Zi's mouth was big. He really didn't expect that the Mongolians would say such shameless words. After all, how could the Mongolians not know what was going on in the territory north of the Datong River?

Not to mention traitors, even ordinary people can't find one. Because after the establishment of Pingzhou, Mongolia moved all the local people away. Now, except for the Mongolian army stationed there, there are no traitors there.
