And finally, in June, when many envoys from outside the Great Wall arrived at Chrysanthemum Island one after another, Tokyo's "big move" also arrived... Concubine Pan appeared outside Yumen Pass with the seven-year-old Princess Yiyou.

Emperor Zhao, who had known for a long time that the mother and daughter were coming and who had even approved it himself, remained calm about it.

Why would I push my wife and daughter away?

Therefore, Zhao Jiu asked Concubine Pan and her daughter to accompany him, while he asked Shao Chengzhang to return to Yanjing to inquire about the health of Prime Minister Lu Yihao, and at the same time to clean up the Liaojin Old Palace in Yanjing as a place for Concubine Pan and her daughter to stay when they return... Obviously, even Concubine Pan was "naturalized" by the Yanjing side.

It is entirely conceivable that Tokyo would be even more panicked after this incident, but there was no need to think too much about it for the time being, because shortly after Concubine Pan and Princess Yiyou arrived at Chrysanthemum Island, all those who should have come came, even those who should not have come also came.

The seven or eight Mongolian chiefs led by Kublai Khan of Eastern Mongolia, the seven or eight chiefs of the Khitan clans led by Yelu Yudu of Khitan, the Goryeo Marshal Jin Bushi, the major clans of Bohai, the five Xiaos of the Xi people, and the three kings of the Jin Dynasty who were about to arrive, these were the people that Zhao Jiu had clear or vague intention of recruiting, and they were the main parties summoned to the Chrysanthemum Island this time.

It's natural to come.

The envoys from Western Liao, Gao from Dali, Li from Vietnam, and Taira Tadamori from Japan, although these people were not sent by Zhao Jiu, they came at the right time, and at the very least they could serve as an atmosphere group... and they themselves were indeed the objects of future extension of some things, so it was better for them to come than not.

However, after hearing the relevant information, Toli, the King of Western Mongolia, disregarded everything and led only a hundred or so riders through Dading Prefecture and galloped here. He was even faster than the Five Xiaos of the Xi tribe, which really made Zhao Jiu sigh at his loyalty.

Relatively speaking, the fact that King Wang Kai of Goryeo suddenly sent his old minister Jin Rencun directly from Kaesong seemed a little lacking in sincerity... At least he could have come here in person. Who was he looking down on?

In fact, compared with other envoys and even tribal leaders who were summoned and even participated in the prior discussion of certain things, Kim In-chun had been on the island for seven or eight days but had never been summoned. Even when Kim Bu-sik questioned him after he arrived on the island, he ended up parting on bad terms.

However, Jin Rencun was eventually notified that he would have the opportunity to meet the emperor on June 17, because the protagonists of the Chrysanthemum Island Conference had finally arrived - Wanyan Digunai, Wanyan Wulu, and Hesheli Liangbi had all arrived in Jinzhou, and would go to the island and enter the Dalonggong Temple to meet Emperor Zhao.

The reason why it took more than a month to arrive here was that the Jin Kingdom also wanted to take away Liu Yu, the former pseudo-Qi ruler, Fu Liang, one of the two governors in Hebei established by Li Gang but who sold Chang'an City, and Li Qi, the deputy commander of the navy, and other obvious Zhao Song traitors and generals from Huining Prefecture. At the same time, they also wanted to collect as much valuable goods as possible from the inventory of Huining Prefecture and Huanglong Prefecture and deliver them together to show their sincerity.

All matters were arranged properly, and then he followed Yue Fei here, which was actually quite fast.

Of course, regardless of the speed, it did not prevent Liu Yan, Prince of Liaoyang, from hearing the news and hurriedly turning back.

"Your Majesty has brought peace to the country with his divine army. The territory has been expanded from east to west and north to south. The Chinese and barbarians are helpless. Your achievements are as glorious as bamboo slips and your might is as majestic as the universe... At this time, I have been blessed by Your Majesty's grace to summon you. Goryeo swears to be a vassal and a minister. Our loyalty is as bright as the sun. If we change our ways, the gods will punish us."

On the 17th day of June in the tenth year of Jianyan, it was a sunny morning. In the ancient Linhai Temple, an open-air meeting that would determine the order of the entire northern border for decades or even hundreds of years to come began. But right at the beginning, Jin Rencun, an old minister of Goryeo, took the opportunity of paying respects and greetings to make a scene... Following Zhao Jiu's order, everyone else stood up and returned to their seats, only he lay on the ground and respectfully spoke words that would make the official's ears calloused these days.

It's really unsportsmanlike.

"Mr. Jin..."

Zhao Jiu was too lazy to play tricks on him, so he interrupted him in public. "Did you also say these things to some nobles in the Jin Kingdom ten years ago?"

"Your Majesty has a keen eye and a photographic memory."

The white-haired Jin Rencun raised his head and spoke earnestly. "These words are exactly what Jin Bushi, the ruler of our country, wrote to the Jin people to declare his allegiance and congratulate Han Fang, the Jin envoy, on the Jin people's capture of Tokyo and the Jingkang Incident... I am not good at writing, so I used them for a while."

Zhao Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then he was dumbfounded - is it true?

In fact, not to mention Zhao Jiu, even the envoys from various countries, the heads of various tribes, the civil and military officials of the State of Song, and even the attendant guards and the monks of the Dalonggong Temple who were responsible for serving cold drinks and cooking seafood, were all frightened by the show of this Goryeo envoy.

I can only say that Goryeo is full of talents! Marshal Kim Bu-sik was already very impressive, but it was too much for an old man to appear on behalf of the king.

"is that so?"

Zhao Jiu came back to his senses, suppressed his inner desire to complain, and looked at Jin Fushi on the side. "Mr. Jin, is this true?"

"So that the emperor knows that this article is indeed the words written by Han Fang and me ten years ago... The first half is Han Fang's words in Goryeo boasting about his military achievements in the Jingkang Incident, and the second half is part of the document submitted by me on behalf of Goryeo to declare my loyalty." Jin Bu Shi didn't know what to think in his heart, but his face was very calm. He calmly stepped out and replied calmly. "I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Of course everyone was laughing at the joke. In fact, it was not just Emperor Zhao who was laughing at the joke. This matter was made public in front of so many envoys and dignitaries. I'm afraid the whole world would be laughing at the joke together.

And the joke is twofold. On the one hand, the fickleness between Kim Bu-sik and Goryeo is laughable. On the other hand, it refers to the internal strife within Goryeo, which was almost self-mutilation, in order to prevent Kim Bu-sik, who already had military power, from gaining status from Zhao Gu. This is laughable.
