Chapter 498: Political Disputes
After receiving the emperor's order, the military intelligence department directly placed the Korean mission in a courtyard near the south of the capital city, where there were originally affected by the war and there were no people, so the military intelligence department directly arranged dozens of people to strictly protect the house.
Jin Shijun and the others wanted to see the emperor, but they didn't care where they lived, but after Dong Cheng, the deputy director of the Military Intelligence Department, settled them, he pulled Dong Cheng and asked in a low voice when the emperor would be able to meet the mission, after all, King Li Yun was still waiting for news in Seoul.
Dong Cheng knew that these Koreans wanted to do something, but he said unhurriedly at the moment: "Your Majesty is arranging the conquest of Liaodong, so I don't have time to meet you for the time being, but Du Qiuyan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Dachu, will come, and you will wait." β
In fact, Dong Cheng had no right to reveal what the emperor was doing, this was Ning Yu deliberately arranged for Dong Cheng to say this, in order to see the reaction of the Korean envoys, so as to confirm his own thoughts.
Sure enough, Jin Shijun's eyebrows raised slightly, but he couldn't help but be a little happy, and said loudly: "Since this is the case, I will wait for Lord Du to arrive, thank you Lord Dong this time." β
With a slight smile on his face, Dong Cheng turned and left, of course, the eyeliner he had arranged near the courtyard was still working, and he would closely observe the North Korean envoy's every move.
After Dong Cheng left, Jin Shijun looked at the rest of the people and said with a smile: "This time Dachu has the intention of going out of the customs, and my North Korea will be able to usher in the day of liberation. β
Senior sycophant professional Toyanagi Zhenglie naturally refused to let go of this opportunity, and said in a loud voice: "My lord, when this envoy is over, we will be regarded as having made a great contribution, and when the time comes, the lord of the council will definitely reward the adult!" β
Park Yunxi frowned slightly, he did not appreciate the blind optimism of Kim Se-jun and others, pretended to be unwell, asked to go back to rest early, and then left the central hall directly in full view.
After Park Yun-hee disappeared into the central hall, Kim Se-joon's brows furrowed slightly, and before he could say anything, he saw Yoo Jung-yeol and said in a strange manner: "Hmph, such villains are dissatisfied when they see adults going well, but I'm afraid that they will deliberately make trouble when the time comes, my lord, do you want to ........?"
"It's not rightβ"
Jin Shijun stretched out his hand and said coldly: "Now in Dachu, we naturally have to abide by the decree of the Celestial Empire, and when I return to North Korea, I will report the matter to the Minister of Parliament, and someone will naturally deal with him at that time." β
In today's Lee Joseon, the political struggle is not ordinarily fierce, and even very cruel, like the current North Korean king Li Yun has only been on the throne for four years, it has caused many political disputes, it can be said that the court is in an extremely unstable period.
"The current king of North Korea, Li Yun, whose biological mother is the famous concubine Zhang Xi, is not a simple thing to say......."
In fact, after Dong Cheng left the courtyard where the North Korean mission was located, he immediately found Du Qiuyan, who was in charge of diplomatic affairs, and explained the details of North Korea first.
Dong Cheng sighed slightly: "Speaking of which, Zhang Xi's experience is also very legendary, at first she was just an ordinary palace maid from a middle-aged person, and later she was loved by Li Yan just because of her appearance, and gave birth to Li Yun, and later replaced Queen Inhyun's Min family outside the city of the Korean princess, and her momentum was unrival.......ed for a while."
"That's right, it's a pity that only five years later, Zhang Xifei intervened in the confrontation between the Korean southerners and the Westerners, although she got the support of Min Dian and other southerners, so that her son Li Yun was established as the prince, but it also caused the dissatisfaction of Li Yan and the Westerners, and finally led to his brother Zhang Xizai being exiled to Jeju Island, which also caused a crisis for today's North Korea......."
Du Qiuyan sighed deeply, speaking of which, in the thousands of years of Chinese history, there are not a few political turmoil caused by the chaos of the harem, and it is nothing to put it at the level of Zhang Xifei.
"Later, Zhang Xifei was poisoned by Li Yan because of witchcraft, and his brother Zhang Xizai was also executed by Ling Chi, as for other relatives and families Yin and An, and Min Ran, a major minister of the southerners, were also implicated and executed, but only Li Yun's position as the son of the family was not deposed, and now he has become the king of Joseon."
Dong Cheng knew in his heart that the emperor's intention to meddle in Korean affairs was by no means a simple restoration of the relationship between the clan and the vassal, but a deeper plot, so it was necessary to have a deeper understanding of the current party struggle in North Korea.
As early as the end of the fifteenth century, the Li Dynasty was founded for about a hundred years, and the old bureaucracy of the meritorious heroes in the DPRK was called the "Xun Old School", and the Confucian scholars and the two groups of disciples in Korea were called the "Shilin School", similar to the Donglin Shi Party at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and a life-and-death struggle broke out between the two factions.
As early as the beginning, Joseon Chengzong mostly used the Shilin faction to suppress the old Xun faction, and for a time the power of the Shilin faction swelled, and then after Yan Shanjun succeeded to the throne, because of the biological mother abolished the concubine Yin's temple, there was a conflict between the Shilin faction, and instead relied on the old Xun faction to clean the Shilin faction, and finally caused the 'Wuwu Shi disaster', which led to the core of the Shilin faction, Jin Yusun, Quan Wufu, Quan Jingyu, Li Mu, Xu Pan, etc., were beheaded, Jin Zongzhi was exhumed and beheaded, and the rest of the Shilin faction were exiled or expelled, and they were all cleaned up.
Later, it didn't take long for Yan Shanjun to investigate the death of his biological mother Yin, and ordered the Spring and Autumn Pavilion to play the detailed process of Yin's death and the list of relevant personnel, and then after the list was in hand, Yan Shanjun found twenty-six Shilin courtiers from it, killed them one by one, and even dissected the coffins of eight of the deceased people, known as 'Jiazi Shi Disaster'.
Strictly speaking, at this point, Yan Shanjun and the Shilin faction at that time had reached the point of life and death, so he was afraid that there would be a missing Shilin faction in the previous time, so he began to find and deal with it again, setting off the 'Bingyin Shi Disaster', and this time also made the Shilin faction finally soberly realize that the enemy was in Changde Palace (Yan Shanjun lived in Changde Palace), so he decided to initiate a move.
At that time, the officials of Cao Juanshu Liu Shunting, the governor of the central government Park Yuanzong and the deputy secretary Yongcheng Xiyan and others brazenly launched a coup d'Γ©tat in September, organized an army to kill their relatives Shen Shouqin and Ren Shihong, and surrounded Changdeok Palace, forcing Yanshanjun to abdicate, and then let Jincheng Monarch Li Yi succeed to the throne, which led to the full expansion of the Shilin faction.
Despite such a series of brutal political struggles, North Korea did not settle down, but the Shilin faction began to gradually divide into the Westerners and Easterners, and then the Southerners and Northerners, continuing the previous hundreds of years of partisan struggle.
Then in the period of Suzong Li Zhuo, this person is good at using power, is a monarch similar to Jiajing, so it also led to the peak of pun party politics, and Li Zhuo in order to balance the power of the DPRK and China, constantly changed the ruling faction, through the method of supporting the weak and suppressing the strong, but also led to the Korean political struggle to the peak, empty and spent a lot of national power. Second Chinese Network
In particular, the matter of Zhang Xiconcubine was the focus of the political confrontation between the Westerners and the Southerners, so after Zhang Xiconcubine was given to death, the Southerners faction was completely suppressed and disappeared, and the Westerners also became fully large, but after the Westerners sat down, it also re-evolved into a dispute between the old and young factions.
After Li Yun succeeded to the throne today, because there was no heir, there were ministers at that time who asked Yanrenjun to be the crown prince, and the so-called Yanrenjun refers to Li Yun's younger brother Li Yun, and in this matter, there was also a fierce dispute between the old and young scholars.
At that time, the old theory faction praised the establishment of Yanrenjun as the younger brother of the king, while the young theory faction advocated waiting for Li Yun's son to be established as the prince, but in the end, the old theory faction was too powerful and forced Li Yun to make Yanrenjun the younger brother of the king, but Li Yun was unhappy after all, so two days after the decree, Liu Fenghui of the Shaolun faction strongly opposed the establishment of Yanrenjun as the crown prince, thinking that the princess could still give birth and should not act rashly.
And the old critics were naturally unhappy, so they asked Wang Shidi Li Yu to listen to the government on his behalf, which could provoke Li Yun at once, although he had a benevolent personality, but when he saw that the old critics were kicking their noses in the face, they naturally would not be polite at all, so they deposed many people from the old critics, and also made the young critics come to power.
After all, if Li Yun has never had a son, then when he dies, it will be Li Yu who will take the throne, if he takes the throne, it will be terrible, which means that the Shaolun faction will face a cruel all-round attack.
Therefore, under this kind of life-and-death struggle, Cheng Zhi Jin Yijing and the eunuch Park Shangjian conspired with the intention of killing Wang Shidi Li Yu, but I don't know what's going on, this matter has been leaked out before it has even started.
But this incident does not represent a complete victory for the Shao Lun faction, because the root of the problem has not been solved - the king Li Yun still has no son, and Wang Shidi Li Yu is still honestly doing Wang Shidi, so the Shao Lun faction thought of another breaking point, so that Korea can return to the vassal system of the Great Chu, so as to restrain Li Yu from the outside.
After such a revelation, Du Qiuyan had a little ruthlessness on his face, and whispered to Dong Cheng: "Now that North Korea may have great changes, the Shao Yan faction is an excellent partner for us and others. β
"If you really want to cooperate, the old school seems to be more suitable, and Park Yunxi in the mission seems to be the person of the old school......." Dong Cheng shook his head slightly.
"Hehe, that's just the idea of ordinary people...... The Old Argument Sect now seems to be at a disadvantage, but they just need to wait for it, and I don't want anything from Da Chu, but the Younger Sect is different, they seem to have the upper hand right now, but once Li Yun is dead, they will immediately have a chance to overturn. β
Du Qiuyan smiled, and then added: "Your Majesty has a saying, for such people, they are the best partners of my Dachu, and they will do whatever it takes to save their lives at the moment." β
"For example?" Dong Cheng was slightly excited, he seemed to have guessed something.
Du Qiuyan said meaningfully: "Aren't they missing a monarch? Let's send them one. β
.......
In mid-February, under the escort of a regiment of the Praetorian Guard Division, Ning Yu went to Tianjin to take a naval warship south, and will land in Shanghai and then return to Nanjing.
That's right, the Northern Expedition was won, but the situation in the north has not yet stabilized, and the results need to be further digested, and in this process, relying on the Ningchu court alone is undoubtedly too slow and too weak, like those new capital consortia in the south, can be a good boost and lubricant, so as to ease the confrontation between the north and the south.
In addition, this is also a dividend from Ning Yu to the capital consortium, so that they can continue to support Emperor Ning to continue to ignite the war, and at the same time, it is also for those gentry to see that they can eat meat with Emperor Ning, and if they oppose Emperor Ning, they will become meat.
After several days of sailing, Ning Yu resisted the Shanghai wharf, and at this time, the officials and people of the Shanghai government gathered at the wharf and were cheering to welcome the holy car, their faces were full of joy.
The victor will always be cheered by the world, even if he starts an unjust war, but victory can still silence everyone, and the loser, no matter how righteous it is, is also a loser.
Ning Chu's Northern Expedition is also such a big battle that only needs to be won and not defeated, only if it wins, the pain caused by the implementation of the new policy in front will be smoothed out, but once it is lost, all the counteroffensives will come, and it is a good thing to be able to maintain a north-south situation at that time.
Therefore, the success of the Northern Expedition represents not only the domination of the world, but the ability to unite people's hearts, so as to truly lay the foundation of a country.
Ning Yu knew all this very well in his heart, he waved his hand to the people, and at the same time looked at the people and said loudly: "The success of the Northern Expedition is by no means the credit of me alone, in the final analysis, it is not only the credit of the soldiers fighting on the front line, but also the credit of your hard work with the rear!" β
"Without your support, there wouldn't be so much money, food, weapons, and not so many children who are eager to fight, our Great Chu is not the Great Chu of the Ning clan, but also the Great Chu of the people of the world!"
At one point, it set off a wave of cheers in the audience, and everyone sang long live Your Majesty, but the officials who accompanied the car had strange faces.
Strictly speaking, Ning Yu's performance is more like a political show, and it is simply a bloody episode in later generations, but in this era, it is more or less deviant.
Because in the past, the emperor was supreme, all the credit was collected with the emperor, and all the fault was the fault of the courtiers, but now in Ning Yu's words, the credit is placed on the people, which is unimaginable throughout the ages, so it has caused all the people to cheer.
