One Piece of Song Dynasty

The news of the official restoration of the Tang Dynasty gradually spread from Yanjing to all parts of the country. The cities in various places had already replaced the prepared Tang-character flags on the city walls and burned the original Song-character flags. Everyone everywhere fell into a state of jubilation.

Not only that, the public appearance of Yelu Yuliyan and Xiao Qing also shocked the envoys of Xia and Jin, and also gave reassurance to the Khitan people in the Tang Dynasty.

On the day of the restoration of the Tang Dynasty, Jin Fushi, the Korean envoy, finally met his brother Jin Fuzhe, who had been under house arrest for more than ten years. The two met in the Tianxiang Tower in Yanjing. The original location of the Narcissus Residence in Yanjing was now changed to Tianxiang Tower.

Sitting in the private room of Tianxiang Tower, Jin Fuzhe sighed: "Brother, I didn't expect that we haven't seen each other for nineteen years since we said goodbye."

Jin Fushi nodded and said, "Yes, I have suffered a lot from you these years."

Jin Fuzhe shook his head and said: "Brother, in fact, during the past ten years or so under the emperor, apart from not being able to move around at will, I have been doing well in other aspects, including food and clothing. Moreover, I have also got married here, and I have three children, two boys. one girl."

Jin Fushi was shocked: "This"

Jin Fuzhe smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, I have planned not to return to Goryeo and take root in the new Tang Dynasty. In the past ten years, I have watched the emperor grow up step by step and how he restored the Tang Dynasty." To be honest, when I was first captured, I really didn’t expect that the emperor would grow to this point. Brother, please go back and tell the king that you must not be an enemy of the new Tang Dynasty. The powerful Tang Dynasty hundreds of years ago will definitely Reappearing in the hands of the emperor, the Jin people are no match for the emperor. Even though the emperor and the Jin people have signed a peace agreement now, I dare to conclude that the Jin Kingdom will be destroyed by the emperor's hands in a few years."

Jin Fushi frowned and said: "Brother, you are so sure that the Tang Dynasty will destroy the Jin Kingdom. You must know that even if the Jin Kingdom suffered heavy losses this time, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Army is still very powerful."

Jin Fuzhe smiled and said: "Those hundreds of thousands of Jin troops are really nothing in front of the new Tang Dynasty. Brother, to be honest, if it were really the Jin country when Wanyan Wu was in power, the emperor might still be afraid of three points, but Nowadays, most of the famous generals from the founding of the Jin Kingdom have died, and the Jin Kingdom today does not pose much of a threat to the Tang Dynasty. Brother, just look at it, the Jin Kingdom will not exist for long."

Jin Fushi asked tentatively: "Brother, I don't know what the newly reborn Tang Dynasty thinks of me, Goryeo."

Jin Fuzhe said: "Brother, the reason why we can meet today is because the emperor has instructed me to meet with you. Regarding Goryeo, the emperor's attitude is to maintain the status quo, but to open more markets for trade between the two countries. There is no need to think about Tamna Island and Goryeo. Tamna Island has been renamed Jeju Island and will become the permanent territory of the Tang Dynasty. However, the two countries need to sign a new agreement to explain the ownership of Tamna Island. The agreement can be explained as Goryeo donated Tamna Island to the Tang Dynasty as a gift to congratulate the Tang Dynasty for its re-establishment, so that the king would look better."

Jin Fushi said suspiciously: "That's all."

Jin Fuzhe nodded and said: "That's all the emperor's demands for Goryeo for now. Besides, even if the emperor has more demands now, I'm afraid the king won't be able to agree to them."

Jin Fushi asked: "What are the requirements?"

Jin Fuzhe said: "It is natural to profess vassal status to the Tang Dynasty and become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. However, the emperor also knows that the pressure on Goryeo from the Kingdom of Jin is still considerable, so the emperor will not attack Goryeo until the Kingdom of Jin is eliminated. I made such a request, but when my brother returns from this trip, he can mention it to the king first, so that the king can be prepared in advance."

Jin Fushi nodded and said: "I understand, you really don't plan to return to Goryeo."

Jin Fuzhe shook his head and said: "I won't go back. I want to witness the return of the prosperous Tang Dynasty with my own eyes. Brother, I feel that the Tang Dynasty under the emperor will be more prosperous than the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years ago."

Jin Fushi sighed: "Well, it doesn't matter if you stay in the Tang Dynasty, you can become a bridge of communication between the Tang Dynasty and Goryeo in the future."

Jin Fuzhe bowed and said: "Don't worry, brother, as long as Goryeo does not do anything to offend the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely try my best to win more benefits for Goryeo. Tomorrow I will hand over the new credentials of the Tang Dynasty to my brother. After I get the credentials, I will You can return to China, and my brother is currently serving as a minister in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Dynasty. If you need anything in the future, please come to me at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Jin Fushi glanced at his younger brother and sighed: "Okay, I understand."

Here the Jin Fushi brothers were chatting animatedly, and over there Li Xin called Gao Ping, Liang Xing, and Zhao Yun into the palace.

Li Xin said to the three people: "I have decided to merge the intelligence agencies under your command in the near future to form the Jinyiwei of the Tang Dynasty. I will be directly responsible for the Jinyiwei of the Tang Dynasty. The Jinyiwei of the Tang Dynasty will be divided into the North and South Town Fusi.

The three of you are all in the fourth rank, Liang Xing and Gao Ping are in the fourth rank, and Zhao Yun is in the fourth rank. "

The eight courtyards of the North and South Town Fusi and the South Town Fusi are Li Xin's reform of the intelligence department, which clarified the responsibilities of each department. The North and South Town Fusi cover all aspects. To a certain extent, the power of the intelligence department has been further expanded. expansion.
