Chapter 229: Military Protection

Thank you to the big guy for the "PP197623" tattoo silver 100 taels reward!

..........

Jinyiwei's intelligence on North Korean officials and factions is obviously stronger than that of Wei Gonggong, and what Xu Xianchun is holding in his hand is the information about Li Qingquan obtained by Tian Ergeng.

This person is the old Great Northern faction, that is, the hardcore of Gwanghaejun. Therefore, it can be confirmed that Li Qingquan's secret visit to Beijing to tell his father-in-law this time is what Gwanghae-kun meant.

However, Li Qingquan is still a good person, a great loyal minister.

Over 60 years old, he came to the sea and tossed on the sea for dozens of days, during which he was in distress three times, and finally arrived in Tianjin, no matter from which point of view, Li Qingquan was worthy of Joseon and his king.

It's just that the father-in-law doesn't like this loyal minister.

If you Li Sang are loyal ministers, aren't our family traitors?

Soldiers can be killed, but innocence cannot be humiliated!

The father-in-law is definitely not a traitor, so he will not kill Li Qingquan in order to solve the problem by solving the problem personally. He knew very well that the root of the problem was Guanghai's head, as long as this lord still couldn't swallow that breath, then killing one Li Qingquan would have more Li Qingquan coming to Beijing.

Therefore, it is better to talk about it and strive for the two sides to reach an agreement. Otherwise, a secret envoy on the left is still visiting, and a dead man on the right is complaining, and the end is to smear the Ming Dynasty, and it is also to make the father-in-law upset.

There are no absolutes in the world, black and white, loyal ministers will do bad things, and traitors will do good things.

Loyal ministers and traitors are not necessarily opposites, and in some respects it is possible to have an in-depth exchange of views and reach a strategic consensus.

For example, Jiannu.

Therefore, the father-in-law must make Lee Kyung-chuen understand that he should view and develop the relations between the two countries from a highly strategic and long-term perspective, instead of looking at what is happening in the DPRK with old ideas in a pedantic manner.

Li Qingquan had already recognized the identity of the young eunuch in front of him, because the face of this eunuch was very consistent with the comment of the official of the Ministry of Rites to him, "face is loyal and traitorous", and there were also officials of the Jinyi Guard, Li Qingquan, who was familiar with the Ming Dynasty system, no longer knew who got him from the State Guest House here, and it was also in vain.

The formal talks were in Chinese, and Li Qingquan's Chinese was very fluent, without the slightest crappiness, if it weren't for the fact that he was from North Korea, the first impression was that this person would definitely be a Boru of the Ming Dynasty.

Gonggong Wei first criticized the fact that Li Qingquan did not follow the proper channels, crossed the ranks and came to Beijing without authorization to complain, and spread rumors in Beijing.

The word "illegal" appeared no less than six times from the father-in-law's mouth, and each time it was very loud.

"Fabricating and distorting facts, falsely accusing and framing others, the circumstances are very serious! Spreading rumors, instigating, colluding, inducing with money, and manipulating unscrupulous officials behind the scenes to attack the ministers and disrupt the order of our dynasty, do you know what the consequences are! Hmph, could it be that your Korean monarchs and ministers want to provoke my Ming Dynasty to fight inside and outside, and want to profit from it! ”

The father-in-law's anger is not pretended, but there are so many points of sincerity. After all, if Li Qingquan hadn't come from North Korea, how could Yang Lian jump out excitedly, and if he hadn't jumped the second uncle, how would he have saved his nephew with a gourd baby, leading to this big string of things.

My father-in-law is really busy.

The Combined Fleet was about to set out for the Ryukyus in February, and the Taiwan Garrison Division, with the cooperation of the Guards Division, was making a big effort to use troops in Taichung and Tainan.

Regarding Grandpa Wei's accusations, Li Qingquan did not say a word, and did not say a word from beginning to end, but his eyes clearly told Grandpa Wei - you fart!

Knowing that this person was a loyal minister and a father-in-law who was not afraid of death, he also accepted the hypocrisy, and he made it clear to the other party that the Ming Emperor and himself welcomed the visit of the Korean envoys, and also welcomed the North Korean side to put forward different opinions, as long as it was reasonable, the Ming Emperor and himself and the government could be improved.

In short, the Ming Dynasty has always regarded North Korea as a close and reliable good friend, a good student, and a good son and nephew. At present, the relations between the two countries are still stable, and the contradictions in a few places cannot be regarded as cracks in the relations between the two countries.

"With the personal care and vigorous promotion of His Majesty the Emperor, the Korean side was preserved from the Japanese people... Our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have forged the friendship between China and the DPRK with great sacrifices, and this friendship cannot be destroyed, and the Ming Dynasty hopes that the DPRK can always be a model for vassals and share weal and woe with our dynasty..."

On behalf of the emperor himself, Gonggong Wei made a characterization of the relations between the two countries, and this characterization is correct and appropriate.

Li Qingquan finally spoke, and he first expressed his dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty's claim for losses in the Imjin Patriotic War from Korea.

"My country's North Korea, known as deferential, is suitable for distress, how can the Ming Dynasty, as the country of the Son of Heaven, sit idly by? If the weak are not helped, who is virtuous and who is afraid? Besides, my North Korea is the Dongping Domain of the Ming Sea, and my country is in trouble to be rescued by the Ming Dynasty, which is the reason of heaven and human feelings, and it is also the duty of the suzerain, how can I ask for compensation..."

Gonggong Wei immediately said that his country is benevolent and gracious, and the obedient are not in need, but our country is also difficult, the treasury is empty, and it can be said that he is tightening his belt to save the people of the country.

"Daming and North Korea are like close neighbors, neighbors are in trouble, Daming smashed the pot and sold iron to save, and the neighbors were saved, should they repay the grace of dripping water and springs."

The image of Father-in-law Wei is a metaphor.

"Folk children know the story, as a minister of North Korea, how can you not know? Mofer is full of ungrateful people in North Korea, but he knows how to ask but does not know how to give back? I am like a parent, North Korea is like a child, and the children of this world should also report to their parents, and those who do not report are unfilial, and those who are not filial will be discussed by heaven and earth. ”

“......”

Gonggong Wei insisted that the Joseon must pay compensation, while Li Qingquan insisted that the vassal had no such responsibility. The two sides went back and forth for a while, but in the end they changed the topic together.

Because, boring.

Left and right, you Guanghaijun have lost the silver, and the Duanchuan silver mine has also been bet, can Daming still spit out the silver in his mouth and return it to you?

This is nothing more than a negotiation tactic.

Li Qingquan secretly came to Beijing to complain about his grievances and sue Wei's father-in-law, but the real purpose was not to ask the great emperor to punish his favored slave, nor to ask the great tomorrow to return the money, but to return the five counties and thirteen counties of the North Korean Gyeongseong Prefecture, the northern part of Pyongan Province, Yongbyon, Yiju and other places.

Gonggong Wei was very surprised, and asked Li Qingquan that these lands were obviously managed by your Korean officials, and the officers and soldiers were all Koreans, and the Ming Dynasty had never set up institutions or appointed officials there, so how could he recover these lands from the Ming Dynasty.

"The Hyean region in the north of Korea has already refused to submit to the rule of our king, the government orders cannot be issued at all, and no money, grain, and taxes can be collected, but our government has taken action, and the special detachment of your country has wantonly interfered, although it is nameless but real, so how can our country agree..."

Li Qingquan was inexplicably sad and indignant, what the imperial army did in the north of Korea was completely to split Korea, but this so-called northern Xie'an region had not yet flown the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

Regarding the legitimacy of the northern Xie'an District and the DPRK's pro-Ming Zhongzheng Division, Li Qingquan cited various facts to refute it.

Father-in-law Wei was quite speechless, because what the other party said was the truth.

Then, instead of hiding his ears and stealing the bell, he slapped the table in anger and shouted, "Enough! Is Gwanghae going to tear up the "Hongwon Armistice Agreement"! ”

"This agreement is illegal, if the Great Emperor and the imperial court agree to this agreement, I have nothing to say in North Korea!"

Li Qingquan, who is over sixty years old, is really a loyal minister who is not afraid of death, he was not frightened by Gonggong Wei at all, and looked at the other party angrily, if you have a kind, you will kill the old man.

Xu Xianchun on the side had just been transferred to Jinyiwei, this was his first errand, and he didn't know anything about North Korea, so he stood on the side and muttered in his heart to see Gonggong Wei like this, could it be that the guilty charges against him impeached by Kedao were all facts?

Facts, of course, are facts.

Gonggong Wei has never denied the facts, he does things above board, how can he hide and make some false proclamations to frame Zhongliang.

So, the old man raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "Command! ”

Li Qingquan was stunned for a moment, and instinctively knelt down.

"Lee? How did the child die? Is there something strange about this? Yan'an Jin is the grandmother of Guanghai, I have not heard of the succession of my son-in-law and want to abolish my mother-in-law, this matter is not in line with the etiquette system, I will not allow it, and the North Korean side plays in my knowledge, if there is an inside story, I will not allow him to come to Guanghai. ”

After Grandpa Wei finished speaking, he looked at Li Qingquan coldly.

Li Qingquan frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Yongchangjun died of illness, and my king has no intention of abolishing the matter of the concubine." ”

"I hope so. The Ming Dynasty recognized the legitimacy of Gwanghaejun's succession, but hoped that the North Korean side would be able to properly and reasonably resolve some issues. Regarding the matter of Yongchangjun and the concubine, the country of Erguo must play according to the facts, if there is an inside story, the Son of Heaven will be angry, and the country of Erguo will not be able to bear it. ”

Duke Wei announced that Li Qingquan would get up and sit down to speak, saying that the Son of Heaven intended to send an internal envoy to Korea to investigate these two matters.

Li Qingquan was shocked when he heard this, because everyone who was familiar with the inside story knew that Yongchangjun was poisoned, and Yongchang's biological mother, the eldest concubine, the thirty-four-year-old Jin family, was imprisoned in Qingyun Palace, and the Dabei faction was now plotting to abolish the Jin family. If the Ming Dynasty intervenes in this matter at this time, it will obviously be extremely disadvantageous to the king.

Wei Gonggong remained silent and changed his words, but he pointed out that the establishment of the Xie'an District in the north of the DPRK is a model of mutually beneficial cooperation between the Ming Dynasty and the DPRK in various fields, and should be squarely faced and praised, and should not be questioned and opposed by people with good intentions.

Li Qingquan listened silently.

Regardless of what he was thinking in his heart, Gonggong Wei continued: "China and North Korea should understand and support each other, and should further strengthen communication and cooperation to ensure that the friendship between China and North Korea will be passed on from generation to generation, and that the father and son of our Ming Emperor and your king will be affectionate from generation to generation. ”

"This is also the meaning of our monarchy!"

Li Qingquan opened his mouth to express his attitude, although he only said one sentence, but there was a clear difference from his previous attitude.

"So good,"

Gonggong Wei nodded, "Then our family will tell you the truth, I, Daming, will continue to provide military protection to North Korea, and station officers and soldiers in the Xie'an District in northern Korea to ensure that North Korea is not harassed by the rebels in Jianzhou." ”
