Early in my reign, seeing Goryeo's innocent people long wasted by war, I at once halted the armies, restored their borders, and sent their old and young home. Goryeo's king and ministers, full of gratitude, came to court; in name they were lord and subject, yet their warmth was like that of father and son. Your Majesty's court knows this already, I am sure. Goryeo is Our eastern dependency. Japan lies close to Goryeo. Since your kingdom was founded you have kept intermittent contact with China — yet under Our reign not one carriage of envoys has arrived to seek amity. Lest your kingdom be incompletely informed, I send envoys with this letter to make My intent plain, in hope that hereafter we may exchange messages, bind ourselves in friendship, and live as close allies. The sage embraces the four seas as one home — how can we claim to be one family if we never greet each other in friendship? War, when it comes — who truly wants it? Your Majesty should weigh this well." Another edict ordered Goryeo to guide the envoys on to Japan. On wuzi day King Wang Chon of Goryeo sent his grand general Pak Ki to congratulate the Emperor on his birthday. Aju raided Qichuan and Huangzhou, taking tens of thousands of captives.
