Xia Xun went and returned, Zhu Di came back from Baoding that night, and was quite surprised when he saw him, and when he heard Xia Xun explain the reason, Zhu Di was quite moved, and asked him to let Liaodong handle everything properly, and it would not hinder the overall situation if he didn't go back for the time being, so he allowed him to stay.
Xia Xun proposed to ask the local gentry in Yanjing for help in his personal name to find relevant evidence, which was also tacitly approved by Zhu Di.
However, in Zhu Di's original intention, he still hopes to resolve this dispute through the official.
However, Zheng He hurried to Huaixi, first because he went to the former residence of Chen Shou's friend, so he pounced, and then asked the neighbors left and right, and inquired all the way to find his friend's house, Chen Shou's news had arrived, and the family surnamed Li only said that this lonely book had long been lost, and Zheng He had no choice but to beat the horse and return to Yanjing.
During this period, the friends Chen Shou was looking for were also helpless.
Some of them are indeed not proficient in this knowledge, and some are not completely ignorant, but they are all famous people, either as local officials, or local celebrities, just as Huang Zhen persuaded Xia Xun, more things are better than less things, if you take the initiative to invite Ying to come to debate with the North Korean envoys, but you lose, this infamy through the ages is not borne by yourself.
These people have status and status, so they cherish feathers more and more, and in line with the code of conduct that more is better than less, these gentlemen have wisely chosen to stay away from the dangerous wall.
Chen Shou did not invite reinforcements and was disappointed.
When Zheng He sent the news back, Zhu Di was also disappointed.
There was no other way to do this, so I had to ask Xia Xun to invite those so-called Yanjing celebrities that no one had heard of.
Zhu Di sent someone to summon Liu Songgeng, the judge of the Korean household, and said to him, there are several local celebrities in our court, who have great objections to what the Korean envoys said, and order them to debate in front of the king, if what Liu Songgeng said is reasonable, and refute the Yanjing celebrities, the territory and population designated east of the Yalu River and the Tumen River will naturally be owned by the DPRK.
Liu Songgeng also noticed some of the predicament of the Ming monarchs and ministers before, and now the official personnel have no way to come up with a bunch of Yanjing celebrities, and the old man comes prepared, so they can argue with me Liu Songgeng was full of confidence, immediately shook his spirits, rolled up his arms and sleeves and went straight to the palace.
Xia Xun has already brought people here, and among the people he asked, everyone had a good research, and finally summarized them and invited four people to be representatives.
Before they arrived at the palace, Xia Xun had already learned about the information they had and screened it.
For example, a master named Hualiang, when he saw Xia Xun, twisted his long beard, and said slowly: "According to legend, the head of the three emperors, the first of the hundred kings, and the head of the dragon body of the Taihao Emperor" Xia Xun immediately threw him over, and said to him very politely: "Old man, Emperor Fuxi is an ancient figure, and people should have their own people, but the age is too old, and many genetic deeds have been covered with mythology, and many things are difficult to have conclusive and credible evidence, once they are raised, they are easy to be questioned, so don't talk about it."
The old gentleman squinted slightly, stroked his long hair, and his red face was like Guan Gong in the world, and he stood there proudly, with no feet under his feet, and said loudly: "In those days, King Zhou Mu drove the horse of the Eight Dragons: a Jedi, who did not trample the soil; two feathered and crossed the birds; Three of them ran for the night and traveled thousands of miles at night; Four super shadows, one by one" Xia Xun was stunned when he heard this, and only said in his heart: "This old gentleman Zeng didn't tell stories before" Don't ask, this person was also, and finally he went to Wujingjing and brought it to the four people in front of the palace, called Li Yetian, Wu Qingyu, Wang Yi, Yan Chao, what these four people said, there is still some truth, it seems to be a proof, Xia Xun asked them to prepare carefully, bring all the evidence as much as possible, and rush to the palace to see the emperor.
These people usually talk and pretend to be ghosts, as if the king of heaven is the first and he is the second, and his demeanor is still calm in front of Xia Xun, but once he sees the real dragon Tianzi, he is so frightened that his face is white, his lips are blue, and his legs are swinging.
Xia Xun took a look at their German surnames and how to reason with people Later, Zhu Di was empathetic, moved to the Dongnuan Pavilion, sat in the cabinet by himself, removed the screen of ten screens of ladies fluttering butterflies, and put down a bead curtain between the inside and outside.
Hearing that Liu Songgeng and Liu's judgment had arrived, when he saw the appearance of these four people, he was contemptuous.
Although Xia Xun had already changed their robes, they couldn't pretend to be confident, and when Liu Songgeng saw it, he looked down on them a little.
Liu Songgeng glanced at them contemptuously, and bowed to Zhu Di in the curtain: "Junior minister Liu Songgeng, I have seen the Son of Heaven" Zhu Di coughed and said to Liu Songgeng: "Before, what Qing said about Liaodong, there is no record in the Liaojin classics in the mansion, Chen Shenzheng remembered that he had a friend, and there was a book of Jin Dynasty geography in his home, which was still a little detailed, but unfortunately, because the family was relocated, the only book in the collection has been lost."
When Liu Songgeng heard this, he smiled slightly, he knew that this was just Zhu Di's excuse, the geographical chronicles of the Liaojin and Jin dynasties, he had checked it word for word, if he didn't know it in his heart, how could he dare to come to the Ming Dynasty to offer ugliness, now he looks at what the emperor says.
Zhu Di coughed again and said: "Since there is no evidence, I should follow the previous plan to seal those territories and their people to North Korea."
However, there were several Confucian scholars in Yanjing, who heard about this and had their own opinions, and I had to ask them, so I called them and asked them to reason with you, if it makes sense, this land cannot be divided; If it is unreasonable, I will not delay any longer, and I will give it according to my previous promise. ” Liu Songgeng immediately kowtowed again and said: "The minister has thanked the emperor, and the minister is willing to have a theory with all the famous scholars in the literary world in Yanjing."
Liu Songgeng got up, glanced at the four of them, and said in a loud voice: "Liu Mou invited the Holy Son of Heaven, and there is no relevant record in the Liaojin historical books, which can prove what Liu said, and the four of them have any objections to this."
The four of them glanced at each other, and Li Yetian took a step forward, pretending to be disdainful: "Liaojin barbarian country, not long after learning my Central Plains culture, the so-called Liaojin Geography is just a Dongshi Xiaoxi, Handan toddler, according to the gourd painting scoop to make a look of things, the manga contains unknown, even if it is detailed, there are many hearsay content, what can be used as evidence" Liu Songgeng was slightly surprised, he originally drew a circle for Mingchen, and this evidence was limited to the Liaojin and Jin dynasties, and those nerds fell for the trick, just wanting to find evidence in the records of these two dynasties, why are these four people in front of them a little out of common sense Liu Songgeng hurriedly changed his mind and said: "If the historical books of the Liaojin and Jin dynasties are not enough, do you still have to study the Khitan, Xiongnu, and Turkic?"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Qingyu laughed and interrupted him: "What nonsense" As they entered the debate, the four of them gradually settled down, and their nervous mood was replaced by their desire to show something in front of the emperor.
Wu Qingyu sneered: "When the Xiongnu, Turkic, and Khitan were still just some nomadic tribes, their leader was called Khan, who used felt tents as palaces, had no fixed residence, migrated from water and grass, and was nomadic everywhere.
Liu Songgeng was not annoyed, and smiled slightly: "Oh, then may I ask this gentleman, where do you think you can find the credentials?"
Wu Qingyu said proudly: "In the historical records of our dynasty, the family of Song Weizi and the great biography of Shangshu Hongfan, it is recorded that King Wu of Zhou destroyed Yin, and King Jizi's uncle Jizi crossed the sea to the dynasty and established the Marquis of Jizi.
It is also recorded in the relics of the Three Kingdoms written by the monk Master Ilran, and it is also mentioned that the capital of the capital was in Pyongyang at that time.
Today, it is said that North Korea advocates white, which is the legacy of Shang Dynasty Shangbai.
During the Han Dynasty, Yan Wei Man led more than 1,000 people to rebel against the Han Dynasty, defeated into the court, seized the throne and stood on his own, and then established the Wei Dynasty, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because of the Wei Manchu Dynasty against the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to exterminate it, and divided the land of Wei Manchu Korea into four counties, namely: Lelang County, Xuansu County, Zhenfan County, Lintun County, collectively known as the "Han Four Counties", all under the direct jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty. ” Speaking of this, Wu Qingyu sneered and said: "Hanzhi Youzhou, under the jurisdiction of Zhuo County, Guangyang, Dai County, Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong, Xuansu, Lelang ten counties and seventy-eight counties, except for the land of Sanhan, all of them are directly under the jurisdiction of China, let me ask Your Excellency, even North Korea is established by Chinese people, and where does the land of Liaodong belong to North Korea?"
The land of Samhan refers to the area of present-day South Korea, which is the settlement of the three major tribes of Mahan, Jinhan, and Benhan who live in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, and the land of Samhan is the inherent habitat of the inhabitants of the Korean Peninsula, and even the northern region of Korea was directly under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty at that time, not to mention the west of the Yalu River and the Tumen River.
Zhu Di and Zhong Wenwu were in high spirits when they heard this.
Liu Songgeng was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "What I said is indeed true, when Jizi arrived in the dynasty, North Korea did not have its inherent people Jizi entered the dynasty, bringing the Central Plains culture, as well as farming, silkworm raising, weaving, bronze smelting and other skills, which were deeply admired by the local people of North Korea, so they supported him as the king, and it was the Jizi who entered the dynasty as the king of the Korean people, not the barren land where the Jizi went, and the Jizi and his entourage multiplied, resulting in the current North Korea."
This is not unclear.
During the Tang Dynasty, the bearded guest was called the king overseas, so the theory that it was convenient for the land to naturally become the territory of the Tang Dynasty was so absurd that Wei Man replaced it, the form was different, and the meaning was generally the same.
As for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty because of the Wei Manchu Dynasty against China, he raised an army to destroy it, regardless of the reason, is it not different from the Meng Yuan relying on force to seize and seize it, and until the death of the Han Dynasty, few people restored the country of their own people, isn't it just right?"
Xia Xun didn't expect a debate, but asked Li Fangyuan to obediently divide the Korean Peninsula into two and set aside half of it to return China's extravagant hope, he first asked Li Yetian and Wu Qingyu to say this, it was for another purpose, Liu Songgeng was good at digging pits for people, he Xia Xun was not good at digging pits for people, he was digging a pit and filling a pit until Liu Songgeng choked to death, and now this first pit should be filled.
Xia Xun clapped his hands and smiled: "Liu Jushu said it well, in this way, Li Chenggui, the first king of North Korea, was originally the eldest son of the Yuan Dynasty's Thousand Households in the East and the eldest son of the Daru Hua Chiwulu Si Buhua, attached to Goryeo, and then called the king, he was set up as the king by the few people, and it has nothing to do with my China, so his ancestral tomb is not in Liaodong, what does it have to do with Liaodong's belonging?"
