Chapter 16 Li Jin's Response

Han Huiming can't be the lord of the Shouyang Monarch. This condition can only be brought to Shouyang Dajun.

At this moment, the young Li Yao frowned.

To be honest, he never imagined that things would turn out to be the way they are today.

He was already prepared for the intervention of the Ming Dynasty, and he personally went to Beijing to peek at the reality of the Ming Dynasty.

He saw the most authentic side of the Ming Dynasty with his own eyes.

On the one hand, natural and man-made disasters, all kinds of disaster relief, he admitted that the Ming disaster relief did a good job, but the expenditure of millions of stone on food is unthinkable for North Korea.

Even for Da Ming is a heavy burden.

On the other hand, the internal integration of the tile spur seems to threaten the trend of the frontier again, and there is a consensus on the matter of the Ming Dynasty fighting the tile spur, even if the people of Beijing talk about it every day, it is how to fight the tile spur.

Under such circumstances, how could the Ming Dynasty have the energy to intervene in Korea.

It is precisely because of these two prerequisites that Li Jin dares to do such a thing. He gambled on the decision of the Ming court, which was tacit. But he never expected that the envoy would come so quickly, braving the wind and snow of winter.

This season itself has a political connotation.

Faced with the conditions proposed by the envoy, Li Yao asked Han Huiming rhetorically and said, "Han Jun, what do you think I should do?" ”

Han Huiming said: "Your Highness should endure the humiliation for a while, when the time is long, the Celestial Empire will not always care about North Korea, and it will not be too late to talk about it when the time comes." ”

Li Yao smiled bitterly and said, "If you had said it a day ago, I might have agreed, but now it's too late." ”

Han Huiming was suddenly startled, and immediately asked, "Your Highness, but has something happened?" ”

Li Yao said: "Yes. As soon as the envoy came, everyone jumped out, Cheng Sanwen, Liu Chengyuan, Kim Si-xi, Park Peng-nian-------"

Li Yao read more than a dozen names in one breath, each of which was a heavyweight above the court, a minister left by Sejong of Joseon.

Sejong of Joseon was the most accomplished king in the history of Joseon.

Although the Joseon king was small, he had a natural legitimacy and was naturally supported by many ministers.

And Li Jiao launched a coup d'état, which was done in a hurry. It was to take the opportunity to kill the two councilors and imprison the king of Joseon, but in terms of real strength, he may not be able to overwhelm the orthodox force behind the king of Joseon, but he was just taken by surprise.

If it had not been for the intervention of the Ming Dynasty, Li Yao would have launched one strike after another, killing or purging them from the court, and he eventually abolished the king of Joseon three years later, and killed the king of Joseon a few years later.

And for the restoration of the king of Joseon, there are still many ministers who do not hesitate. It can be seen that Li Yao's political forces did not gain the upper hand at this time, he was just leading the troops to fight at the beginning, and he had a group of troops who could rest assured

Already.

The arrival of the Ming envoy intensified this contradiction in advance, and the forces that supported the king of Joseon were greatly encouraged, and they wanted to use the name of the Celestial Empire to defeat Li Yao.

Although Li Yao has soldiers in his hands, these ministers are not vegetarians.

The Korean aristocracy has a lot of power, and it can almost be seen as a family in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and every minister who supports the Joseon king has a family behind him, and they really have no force when they unite?

And how many people are needed to carry out a coup d'état?

Even in the city of Beijing, a few thousand people can decide the outcome of the coup d'état at a critical time, and even less in North Korea, Li Yao only used more than 30 dead soldiers to kill the Jin family, so there was no oolong who found that Jin Zongrui was not dead.

Therefore, if he follows the method of the Ming envoy, he must always guard against the counterattack of these forces, and prevent others from giving him a way to return the body to others.

That's why he couldn't accept it.

In politics, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, and trying to maintain a balance between the east wind and the west wind is more of a ridiculous and impossible state to achieve.

Li Yao had two problems in front of him, the first was the intervention of the Heavenly Dynasty, and the second was these hostile political enemies, and the two were also contradictory.

If Li Yao doesn't solve the latter, the former can't solve it, but if he doesn't solve the latter, maybe he will be solved by others.

Han Huiming pondered for a moment, and then pleaded: "It was my lack of secrecy that made the Ming Court get the news and make His Highness so passive." ”

Li Jin said: "No matter your business, sooner or later." ”

Han Huiming said: "This is the case, there is no other way, the minister is willing to solve these people for His Majesty, including that one, when the time comes, His Highness only needs to push this matter to me, take my head to see the envoy, and then humble the words, as long as there is only His Majesty in the Sejong lineage, I want to come to the Heavenly Empire and will not let the king of Korea be extinct." ”

Li Yao laughed and said, "Han Jun, what kind of person do you think I am? Is this the kind of person who has let others suffer for me? How can this matter be concealed from the court, but it's just a matter of not doing it, I want to see, will Daming really violate my border because of this matter? ”

"Our North Korea is no worse than Annam, but it is a big country in the eastern part of the sea. The Ming Dynasty can't even destroy the tile thorn now, how can it erect a strong enemy? ”

So, in Li Shi's embassy, he heard movement in Seoul, and the Korean soldiers had surrounded the embassy, saying that it was to protect the safety of the envoys.

But outside, there were shouts of killing, and there were even fires in several places in Seoul, and from a distance, it looked like a pillar that reached the sky.

Li Shi's face turned pale, paced back and forth, and said, "How dare he? How dare he? ”

At this moment, if he still doesn't know what happened in North Korea, Li Shi is not worthy of being listed as a court.

He knew better that if something like this happened, it meant that Li Yao would ignore the warnings of the imperial court.

Li Shi was extremely angry, firstly, he felt that the great Ming Wei was despised like this, and secondly, he was worried that the war between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea was inevitable.

Even so, he held on to the last glimmer of hope, hoping for a good answer.

On the second day, Han Huiming came.

The two sat down again,

Han Huiming said: "The foreign minister came this time, he wanted to report the funeral of the Heavenly Empire, the lord of the country, the day is not a holiday, he has already gone to the west, the country cannot be without a king for a day, the king of Shouyang is the closest bloodline in the royal family, and he is ready to ascend the throne, I came here to ask the Celestial Dynasty to write an edict of canonization." ”

Li Shi sneered and said, "Han Jun, are you a fool in the world?" ”

Han Huiming said: "Naturally not, the head of my family knows the wish of the great son of heaven, as long as the Celestial Empire agrees, in the future, North Korea will continue to worship every year, and even all the grain and grass in Haixi Town, North Korea will support it, and the benefits of Mr. are indispensable." ”

Li Shi sneered and said, "What kind of person do you think I, Li, use these blockages to light me?" I came for peace between the two countries, since it can't be done, I should say goodbye, you please tell Shouyang Dajun, the next person who will come, it will not be me. ”

After saying that, he got up, turned around and left.

Li Shi may not be as incorruptible as water, but he does not dare to be ambiguous on the major rights and wrongs, after all, the Beijing officials are bitter, if Li Shi agrees, Li Shi may take away a few gifts from North Korea when he leaves.

After all, it's all conventional.

But what is the situation now?

It's not that before, the king of Joseon did not die, and there was still room for relaxation in ethics, but now it is ironclad to kill the king with his ministers, and there is no way to be ambiguous.

Now Li Shi dared to agree to the North Korean request, and he would not be able to gain a foothold in the court at all after he returned.

From today onwards, the relationship between North Korea and Daming has dropped to the freezing point, and what will happen, Li Shi is not clear for a while, and he does not dare to speculate.

Han Huiming immediately said, "Sir, why is this so? Why? He hurriedly chased after him.

Li Shi stopped and said, "What's wrong?" Is North Korea still going to force me to stay? ”

Han Huiming immediately took a step back and said, "Don't dare, it's just that my lord's lord is very sincere, as long as the Celestial Empire puts forward conditions, I will agree to everything." ”

Thinking about it, Han Huiming had already gotten a promise from Li Yao, and he simply did his best to win the favor of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Shi sighed and said, "Now this matter, to this point, is no longer a matter of money and food. If you think that a little money and grain can buy off Beijing, I don't know if you think too highly of the financial resources of the DPRK or look down on my minister of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Say goodbye today, or for eternity, take care of each other."
