A few families are happy and a few are sad.

When the soldiers and civilians of Jinan were immersed in the joy of the collective wedding, in the city of Shenyang in eastern Liaodong, that is, the so-called "Shengjing" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was full of white flags fluttering, and the whole city was full of crying, overwhelming crying, echoing in all corners of the city, and even alarming the "Shenyang Pavilion" in the city.

The so-called "Shenyang Pavilion" is actually the "Proton Pavilion". Three years ago, Huang Taiji led an army of 100,000 to attack Korea, but the North Korea was defeated and the monarch Li Liang was forced to submit to the Manchus. The Manchus became suzerain, and according to the covenant between the two sides, the prince of Joseon and others were to live in Shengjing as hostages.

In order to welcome the arrival of the proton, the Manchu Qing prepared a total of four pavilions, of which the Shenyang pavilion was for the prince, the prince and his assistants to live, the proton pavilion was for the children of the three princes and the six kings, and the east and west pavilions were used to receive Korean envoys. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty had renamed Shenyang Shengjing a few years earlier, North Korea still called it Shenyang. Therefore, the proton hall of the prince in Shengjing was called the "Shenyang Pavilion" by the Koreans.

In order to highlight the martial arts of "I Tartar Qing", Huang Taiji deliberately repaired the "Shenyang Pavilion" near the Desheng Gate, so as to show off to the comers, and now, when Dolgon led the troops back from the pass, the cost of nearly 20,000 soldiers was lost, but the entire Shenyang city was immediately immersed in a grief, and every family set up a white flag, and every household set up a mourning hall.

Listening to the crying from outside the hall, Li Wei, who was a proton, seemed a little puzzled, and before he could speak, he heard someone running and shouting excitedly.

"Dixia (1), Dixia, great joy, great joy."

Running into the room excitedly, Shen Deyuan said excitedly after seeing the ceremony,

"Your Majesty, the minister only learned that this time Hu Lu entered the Kou Heavenly Dynasty, and the Heavenly Empire's heavenly soldiers suffered heavy losses, and the loss of soldiers was no less than 20,000 or 30,000, and even Dorobelle Yuetuo was killed in the battle by the Heavenly Empire's heavenly soldiers......"

"Ah, Dorobelle is dead!"

When the prince Li Wei heard this, instead of showing joy on his face, he sighed.

"I never thought that after the autumn hunt last year, I would say goodbye to Dorobelle and say goodbye forever......"

When mentioning Dorobelle Yueto, Li Wei's expression was full of regret, and Shen Deyuan said when he saw this.

"Your Majesty, Bingzi indiscriminately killed more than 10,000 of my Koreans, and now he is killed by the Heavenly Empire's heavenly soldiers, which is really gratifying, why is it a pity that His Majesty is a barbarian chieftain."

Zaichen's words made Li Wei sigh.

"Zaichen, you and I are both prisoners of the Qing Kingdom, so happy, if the Qing Kingdom knows, I am afraid that the emperor will be unhappy."

Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty forbade the prince of Joseon to have personal relations with Qing dynasty relatives and nobles, Huang Taiji invited the prince and his brother Fenglin Dajun to participate in activities such as test shooting, hunting, and military parades every year, and asked the prince how he felt. It is in this process that Li Wei has long been impressed by the military might of the Qing State in his heart, two years ago, Qing Taizong led the prince and the prince of Fenglin to conquer the Ming Dynasty twice, and Li Wei, who witnessed everything, witnessed the magnificent military appearance of the Qing army, and his heart has long been firm in the will to surrender of North Korea. It is precisely because of this that I feel sorry for Yue Tuo's death.

"Your Majesty, what kind of emperor, but just the chief of Hulu, has your majesty forgotten the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the grace of the Celestial Empire in Korea?"

As the chief minister of the Shizi Pavilion, Shen Deyuan was in charge of the liaison between the Shenyang Pavilion and the Qing Kingdom, but he had always been able to abide by his heart, and how could he see that the prince abandoned the righteousness and immediately reprimanded the son.

"Zaichen, since our country has been a vassal to the Qing State, then it should obey the righteousness of all monarchs and ministers, as for the Ming Kingdom, the decline of the Ming State is inevitable, why should the Zaichen be so stubborn."

Li Wei's answer was very direct and seemed to be fair.

In the history of another world, as a proton, Li Wei was a hostage in the Manchu Qing Dynasty for eight years, and his life was actually not bad, and he even made friends with the Manchu regent Dolgon, just as Huang Taiji hoped for back then, after seeing the "strength" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he abandoned the Spring and Autumn Period and became a "pro-Qing faction".

However, Li Wei too young, too simple Tucson after all.

He thought that he was far-sighted and knew the affairs of the times as a handsome man, but he did not expect that the subjects of Korea still had strong feelings for the Great Ming Dynasty. The news of the fall of the Ming Dynasty made the king and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty cry like a dead father, and they went to the suburbs to cry for a day of mourning, and they were still sobbing when they returned to the palace.

Seeing the prince Li Wei and the Manchu officials entering the capital so closely, talking and laughing, and forcing everyone to come to greet them, many Koreans have begun to grit their teeth and resent. As a result, two months after returning to China, the prince died inexplicably. Some people think that he died of illness, while others believe that he was poisoned to death. The masterminds of the poisoning, from the radical anti-Qing palace maid to the hidden pro-Qing conspirator, have different opinions, and so on. When Dolgon heard this, he was furious, but under the unanimous "death from illness" in North Korea, he could only give up with indignation.

But one thing is for sure - the pro-Qing faction has no place in Korea, even if it is the prince and the monarch.

Shizi's answer made Shen Deyuan say angrily.

"Did the prince really forget the sages he had read? Wouldn't such a thing chill the hearts of the people in the DPRK? ”

"Zaichen, Lone is just talking casually, after all, now that people are under the eaves, they can't help but bow their heads."

Seeing that Shen Deyuan's attitude was so intense, Li Wei no longer insisted, but in his heart, he felt that people like Shen Deyuan were all extremely pedantic, couldn't they see how powerful the military might of the Qing Dynasty was? Can't you see the reality that the Ming Kingdom has declined?

If it was in the past, Li Wei would never have such an idea, but after witnessing the "strong" Qing army in the mountain city of Nanhan, especially after witnessing the brutality of the Qing army, the twenty-five-year-old Li Wei was completely frightened, and during the Ming Dynasty with Huang Taiji last year, he also witnessed the weakening of the Ming Kingdom, and the once tall image of the Celestial Empire collapsed in his heart, as a weak person, as a hostage, Li Wei almost subconsciously made the most beneficial choice for himself, that is, he chose to rely on the strong, and in his opinion, This strong man is the Qing State, as for the Ming State...... In his eyes, luck is long gone.

Thinking so in his heart, because he was under house arrest in the "Shenyang Pavilion", Li Wei could only walk to the door, listening to the crying outside the door through the door, unlike the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids who were full of joy, Li Wei's expression was a little worried.

"This time, the Qing army entered the Heavenly Empire for thousands of miles, and it must have captured countless people, so it must be able to make up for the losses of the lost soldiers!"
