The third round: Li Hao worries about the throne and fights for the power of the dynasty

However, it was said that since the Joseon king Li Hao decided to send a messenger to Japan, Zheng Che and Cheng Hun of the Westerners Party were anxious all day long, and Cheng Hun wondered why the king did not investigate Liu Chenglong's negligence. Song Yibi replied: "This must be the art of imperial weighing by His Royal Highness, so that the east and the west can check and balance each other, and it is convenient to exert royal power." ”

Zheng Che suddenly realized: "Sure enough, because His Highness was previously controlled by the Easterners, he deliberately forced Li Shanhai and Liu Chenglong to stay, just to suppress us and wait?" ”

Song Yibi nodded yes and offered again: "If you don't clear the Dongren, then Taoist politics will not be able to be used, you must first get rid of Liu Chenglong, investigate and initiate a public opinion to force His Royal Highness to make a decree to surrender, so that Liu Chenglong will ask for seclusion, and then the matter of correspondence will naturally be over, and it is not worrying that Li Shanhai is left alone." Zheng Che and Cheng Hun happily acted according to the plan.

The next day, after the Korean king Li Hao announced the dispatch of a messenger, Zheng Che was the first to attack, and he held Yoo Sung-ryong accountable for his negligence, and he should resign and apologize. With Governor Cheng Hun and others, echo Zheng Che and ask for further investigation. Seeing that Liu Chenglong was silent, Li Shanhai said: "Xizuo has infiltrated North Korea for more than five years and has not been aware of it, if he is held responsible, all the military judges will be unable to escape the blame, and the ministers of various provinces supervise each other, but they have not heard of it, even if they are responsible for the discussion of politics and the consul general of the government." All officials in the DPRK are guilty of negligence, how to deal with them? ”

Zheng Che saw that Li Shanhai actually implicated the Eastern and Western parties for the crime of negligence, so he simply broke the cauldron and resigned, Zheng Che was the head of the Westerners, Zheng Che's voice fell to the courtiers and workers to collectively play a resignation, the king of Joseon was stunned, the Eastern and Western parties fought for no king, and Li Hao's blood surged until he fainted.

After the dispersal of the court, Li Hao gradually recovered under the treatment of the imperial doctor, and asked the internal officials what progress was made in monitoring Zheng Che. The internal official knelt behind Chen Zhengche and seemed to have a strategist, and it was verified many times that a person named Song Yibi was plotting behind Zheng Che's back. Li Hao listened, and the king ordered him to go straight to Xianzhou, and Song Yibi was captured. When the news spread, Cao Zhenglang and Li Hengfu of the Westerners' Party hurriedly came to report to Zheng Che that Song Yibi had been arrested, and Zheng Che was shocked. Li Shanhai asked what the crime was, and Li Dexin replied that the crime was to incite Confucianism to rebel through the Zheng Ruli rebellion.

Li Shanhai repeatedly inquired about the details, and learned that there was no negligent report, but the king's order was direct, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. Liu Chenglong rushed to hear the news, and after verifying it, he sighed again and again, lamenting that thousands of lives were wronged because of one person's tricks. Li Shanhai has a different view on this: "There is no whistleblowing, and the king's order is direct, which proves that the king is free to monitor the every move of his subordinates, so it is inferred that the king in the Zheng Ruli incident is actually a blind eye, but he still promoted Zheng Che, which is really a plan to kill people with a knife." Liu Chenglong didn't dare to be gullible.

At this time, the king of North Korea, Li Hao, summoned Zheng Che in the palace garden, and Li Hao said: "I heard that Zuo Xiang and Song Yibi have been friends for a long time, and they are regarded as confidants, but is there such a thing?" Zheng Che was shocked and argued: "Song Yibi and the minister are indeed old acquaintances, but since Song Yibi became a slave, they have not met yet. ”

Li Hao chuckled unconsciously: "I see, but the widow heard that Song Yibi had been to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion a few days ago, could it be that the widow heard it wrong?" Zuo Xiang, there are only you and me here, and there are neither foreign ministers nor internal officials, isn't it an excellent place to exchange secrets? For example, please inform the widow that there is no connection between Zuo Xiang and Song Yibi. Zheng Che listened and pleaded guilty.

Li Hao turned around and said comfortingly: "Since Zuo Xiang has nothing to do with Song Yibi, why did the widow want to punish you with death?" And the left minister is the pillar of the country, if the pillar is removed, the building will fall, how can the widow not know this truth. Zheng Che thanked him and swore that it would be difficult to repay the king's favor if he turned into white bones.

Li Hao had more words later: "But if only the beams are left and the rest of the standing trees are discarded, the house will still collapse." Leaving the beams and the rest of the timber, what do you think? Zheng Che had already heard the sound outside the strings, and asked Li Hao reluctantly: "Your Highness is referring to Li Shanhai and Liu Chenglong....... Decree of the Minister. ”

Seeing this, Li Hao continued to mention Zheng Che and said: "The reason for the existence of beams and other timber is only to support the house. Wan Wangzuo kept it in mind. Zheng Che only had the order, and Li Hao added: "Send a messenger, what does Zuo Xiang think should be done?" Zheng Che saw that the general trend had turned, so he asked to act according to the king's orders. Li Hao was overjoyed, and after helping Zheng Che up, he held his hand and comforted Zheng Che, saying that Song Yibi would not be severely punished, but he needed to discuss politics and avoid suspicion and not meet Song Yibi again. Zheng Che thanked the Holy Grace.

Afterwards, after the joint discussion of the Eastern and Western parties, a petition was issued, and in the 18th year of Wanli, Huang Yunji of the Westerner Party was allowed to be the chief envoy of the correspondence envoy, and Jin Chengyi of the Eastern People's Party was the deputy envoy of the correspondence envoy to Japan to investigate the facts. At the same time, Liu Chenglong was promoted to the right council.

That night, Liu Chenglong visited Song Yibi at night, and after a period of greetings, Liu Chenglong asked why he used the Zheng Ruli incident to implicate the party struggle and promote prison death? Song Yibi laughed unconsciously: "I know the weakness of the Lord and the desire for power, so if I touch it slightly, the Lord will be furious, and I am surprised why it is so easy?" As if the Lord was waiting to be touched, he took the opportunity to swing his sword frantically to vent his anger. ”

Liu Chenglong was furious, but Song Yibi calmly asked Liu Chenglong as usual: "See, do you know that your stupidity lies in not observing the selfishness of the master, I only sent a fuel called Song Shu in the heart of the master." But the one who knows all things and burns all things is the Lord of the gods whom you worship, Your Highness. If you have any doubts, you may wish to ask His Highness the Lord for advice. Then he laughed wildly.

Liu Chenglong really entered the palace overnight to meet the king of Joseon, and Li Hao asked: "Why did Aiqing come to see him late at night?" The widow is bored, and he wants to discuss with the right minister tomorrow, so why don't Aiqing come to have a drink and then discuss. ”

Liu Chenglong said: "The minister has an unknown matter and is willing to ask His Highness in the name of disloyalty, Zheng Ruli incident, tens of thousands of courtiers and Confucian people died, is it a plan for His Highness to borrow a knife to kill people?" Did His Royal Highness know that this was framed by Song Yibi and other traitors, but still led and promoted the tragedy? ”

Li Hao was displeased: "The right minister is asking whether the widow is swayed by the desire for power and slaughters the minister?" As a courtier, he came to see him late at night, but he asked such a rude question to the lord! Do you know what you should be guilty of! Or it has put life and death out of the way. ”

Liu Chenglong replied: "If such a tragedy is indeed from the hands of His Highness, what difference does it make if the minister dies in His Highness or ends his own life?" ”

Li Hao sneered a few times, and suddenly turned his eyes when he wanted to be angry, and then calmed down and replied slowly: "If the right minister is like this, the widow will no longer hide it, and the widow will ascend to this throne with a weak body, but to this day, there is no time that he has not tried to remember the proverbs and teachings of the ministers, just because he didn't want to hear the words that he was not worthy of the throne, so he looked at the minister's face everywhere and acted on it, and observed the words of Confucianism, like sitting on pins and needles." I have reminisced about my past life in my dreams many times, but I have been left with a weak heart. The widow doesn't know when he will be sick, but the widow has a wish, although it is not as good as the name of King Sejong Hyunjun, but he does not want to leave the faint king infamy. Since the widow has this wish, how can he wantonly slaughter courtiers and Confucian scholars because of a few twists and turns. No, no, no, it was killed by the widow, and it was because of the ignorance of the widow that this tragedy happened. It is a sin of widows to cause innocent people to be killed, and please bear with you. ”

Liu Chenglong saw the king with tears in his eyes, and felt disloyal and remorseful to the king of Joseon, so he asked for a death. Li Hao comforted each other with good words and called to sit in front of him to drink tea, Li Hao said: "It is precisely because of the outspoken advice of the Qing and others that the widow can always be vigilant, and the Yin Yin teaches the widow to remember, and I hope to speak up in the future." Liu Chenglong thanked him and retired. After Li Hao saw it, his face changed abruptly, and he felt resentment towards Liu Chenglong.

A few days later, the palace decreed that Song Yibi would be executed at a later date, Zheng Che had to report a late night inquiry, and wanted to plead with the king of Joseon again, Song Yibi said that the matter had come to this point and was hopeless, and was willing to bear it and warned Zheng Che not to give up the power that tens of thousands of lives had been exchanged for, and to persevere for the revival of Taoist politics, and once again offered advice: "Now His Royal Highness is not the same person as me, and the urgent need for the current task is to establish the country as soon as possible, and gradually change the political concept, then the world of great governance that we are looking forward to will come, and I will die at that time." Zheng Che admired.

After Zheng Che returned home, he found the great priest Xian Yi Dou Shou to discuss, this Yi Dou Shou and Zheng Che are both important members of the West, and Zheng Che has a deep friendship, is old, loyal and righteous, capable of handling things, and is known for his incorruptibility. Therefore, Zheng Che relied on it even more, and Zheng Che wondered whether it was too early to choose the best among the princes. Idoushou thinks that when the lord first arrived in the capital, he learned the way of the inner and outer kings, and now the princes have already reached adulthood, so why is it too early to say, but Idoushou doesn't know which prince to choose? Zheng Che said: "Linhai Jun is the eldest son, but his virtue is not worthy, and his mind is far less than that of Guanghai Jun. ”

Last year, the Yellow Sea and Ping'an two plagues were rampant, Linhaijun and Guanghaijun condolences to the victims on behalf of the lord, I was an observer of Ping'an Dao, and I saw with my own eyes that Guanghaijun fed the decoction to the victims despite the plague infection, and finally there was an infection, fortunately, there was a timely treatment with God's help, Guanghaijun woke up and asked me not to tell the Lord not to add sin to my body, thoughtful, and have the virtue of loving the people. And Guanghaijun is personable, humble, and has the image of a virtuous gentleman, which can be played as soon as possible. Zheng Che said that the matter of the country is not trivial, and it needs to be coordinated with the leader to the right before it can be played.

Three days later, the king of Joseon, Li Hao, summoned Li Shanhai, the leader of the council, Zheng Che of the left council, and Yoo Chenglong of the right council and announced the personnel transfer arrangements of the court, and ordered the right councillor Liu Chenglong to concurrently serve as the official Cao Ju to assist the left council Zheng Che in selecting officials. Zheng Che was puzzled and asked if the current official Cao was guilty of dereliction of duty? Li Hao comforted Zheng Cheshi who was now old and frail, and chose another good minister to replace him in order to sympathize with his subordinates.

When Liu Chenglong heard this, he wanted to excuse himself because he was busy with official business, Li Hao asked Li Shanhai, and Li Shanhai replied: "Liu Chenglong previously served as a judge of Cao, so it is not necessary to make him a part-time job. ”

Li Hao immediately asked Zheng Che, and Zheng Che replied: "Liu Chenglong is fair and strict, selfless, and has served as a judge, and his political achievements are outstanding. Seeing that the three of them did not quarrel, Li Hao was surprised and turned to joy.

Outside the palace gate, Zheng Che congratulated Liu Chenglong and solemnly mentioned that although Liu Chenglong was a part-time official, he was under the jurisdiction of the left council, but as a right minister and impartial, there was no need to report to him about the election of officials. Although Liu Chenglong has repeatedly emphasized that even if he is a part-time judge, the ruling of the election officer still needs to be evaluated by the left minister. But Zheng Che still insisted on not accepting it, which made Liu Chenglong puzzled. Li Shanhai waited for Zheng Che to leave and explained to Liu Chenglong: "The part-time judge is the lord to seize the right to choose officials from the west, and it is intended to balance the situation. And Zheng Che, as the head of the Westerners, has an indelible grudge against us, how could he give it up so easily? It was unexpected and unsettling. ”

That night, Zheng Che and Yi Dou Shou invited Li Shanhai and Liu Chenglong to the banquet, and during the banquet, they pushed the cup and changed the lamp, singing and dancing, Zheng Che raised his glass and said: "The right minister is also the judge, I have read the judgment on the first day of office, and the disposal is fair. ”

Liu Chenglong thanked: "The left minister is on the side, how dare you slack off in the future, just do your best." ”

Li Shanhai said: "Although the right minister is the only one who is the master and the judge, I also want to thank the left minister for his hard work. Zheng Che drank it all with joy, and Yi Doushou congratulated him from the side: "The two parties of the East and the West have been opposed for a long time, and it is a blessing for the court to be so harmonious. ”

After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Che retreated left and right, and said softly: "Today, please invite the two to come to the world, because of the matter of the community needs the help of the two, since His Royal Highness the Lord succeeded to the throne, the middle palace Niangniang has not given birth for a long time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to give birth, the princes are adults, the position of the prince is undecided, I want to ask the Lord to set up the prince to determine the country, the matter is very important, so I specially invite the two to discuss." ”

Li Shanhai's expression was solemn when he heard this, and he said to Zheng Che: "It is taboo for the lord to ask for the canonization of the prince without authorization, and it is tantamount to bringing disaster upon himself if he has nothing to do with the scales. The lord of the world has his own opinions, why does the left minister not know the importance of bringing up this matter again? ”

Zheng Che said: "How can the prime minister judge like this, the previous concert was not discussed by the public, so that the lord was unhappy and took the blame for himself, this time only the public discussion is followed, not to mention that the minister was prepared for the country and society at that time, but the lord will be sympathetic to the public heart." ”

Is it too early for Liu Chenglong to make a son? Yi Doushou said: "At present, the intentions of the Japanese are strange and unclear, the Hu people in the north are becoming more and more rampant, and the domestic people are unstable. ”

Liu Chenglong asked: "If this is the case, among the three princes of the Lord, Linhai Jun, Guanghai Jun, and Xincheng Jun, which prince do you want to recommend to be canonized?" ”

Zheng Che and Yi Doushou looked at each other and said slowly: "We think that it is more appropriate for Guanghaijun to be virtuous, but I don't know what to do with the right and right leaders?" ”

Liu Chenglong thought so, Zheng Che saw that Li Shanhai still had doubts and continued: "The Lord is wise and martial, and Guanghai Jun has both ability and political integrity. You might as well play it tomorrow and wait for the Lord's will. Li Shanhai saw that Zheng Che was talking endlessly, and Liu Chenglong was not reluctant, so he had to agree first. Zheng Che Daxi and Yi Dou Shou re-summoned the singer, and then please drink together.

After the banquet, Li Shanhai went straight to the prison to meet Song Yibi; Li Shanhai opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Guifeng is a genius and a famous man in the country, and he has only been able to truly understand it today, and he has really benefited a lot. ”

Song Yibi was full of disdain: "The leader is falsely praised, if this is the case, how can you be in prison?" Repatriate people. If the prime minister deliberately came to humiliate, you and I will not speculate, and we will have to say no more. Then he fell asleep and did not respond to Li Shanhai.

Li Shanhai continued: "Today, Zheng Che and Yi Dou have invited me and the right minister to the banquet, intending to discuss the matter of establishing the country, and they have already agreed to play together tomorrow, and what makes me wonder is that no matter how the Lord acts on weekdays, Zheng Che will always respect the Lord as the Holy Monarch and the Lord even during the period of release to the mountains, and is willing to serve the Lord for ten thousand years, how can he make such remarks? It must be caused by Zheng Che behind your back. The name of the country is actually to prepare and support the puppet new monarch to control the government, such a vicious plan and will touch the scales of the lord, why do I and the right minister have to die together? In the end, I decided to quit, and Zheng Che was still in the dark, and it is unknown whether he will be with you in prison tomorrow. ”

Song Yibi got up and reprimanded angrily after hearing this: "Betraying the covenant, capriciousness, shameless villains, treacherous people, and the death of the country are the work of traitors such as Yin'er!" Leave a name for 10,000 years! ”

Li Shanhai replied: "The thief shouts to catch the thief in moderation, inciting political turmoil, the party fighting against differences, and even intending to rebel, and it is clear where the traitors are." Mr. Kamemine's death is approaching, and he needs to rest sooner. Then he walked away.

Then Li Shanhai hurriedly made an appointment with Liu Chenglong to tell the truth, Liu Chenglong couldn't help but be extremely surprised, and was silent for a long time after repeatedly confirming to Li Shanhai, Li Shanhai left in a hurry after explaining that Liu Chenglong should not echo Zheng Che tomorrow. Jin Gongliang, the younger brother of Jin Guiren, the uncle of Xinchengjun, was hugging and lingering with the singer during the night of duty in the inner house, but was unexpectedly captured by Li Shanhai led the team to break in and capture in one fell swoop, Jin Gongliang was frightened and learned from Li Shanhai that Zheng Che wanted to play the book of Guanghai Jun, although Jin Gongliang was a gentleman, but he knew that the book of Guanghai was hopeless for Xinchengjun to be the son of the world, and it was difficult for his sister and brother to enjoy wealth and nobility. was ordered by Li Shanhai to break into the Jin nobleman's bedroom at night to tell the details. Jin Guiren hated Zheng Che deeply when he heard this, and hurried to Li Hao's place.

At this time, the king of North Korea, Li Hao, was reading and drinking tea at night, and Jin Guiren suddenly cried silently, and Jin Guiren cried: "If His Royal Highness wants to establish a sea of light, the concubine has nothing else to ask for, but to continue to accompany His Royal Highness, and enjoy peace with Xinchengjun. ”

Jin Guiren is usually beautiful and moving, very intelligent, and even more touching when he bursts into tears. Li Hao hurriedly comforted Fang Che and knew that Zheng Che wanted to play tomorrow to establish the country's foundation. Li Hao comforted: "The widow of Guanghai does not have this intention, if it is not for the nobleman to tell him, the widow does not know that Zheng Che actually has this move, Xinchengjun is smart and clever, the widow will wait for Xinchengjun to be a few years older and teach the government, and the position of the son of the widow is really intended to be Xinchengjun." The nobles don't have to worry, the widows will deal with it tomorrow. ”

Early in the morning, Zheng Che was already waiting outside the palace gate, but only waiting for Liu Chenglong alone, Liu Chenglong said that Li Shanhai occasionally felt cold after the banquet last night, and is still in the house for medical treatment, and has been fully entrusted to Liu Chenglong to speak on his behalf. Zheng Che had no choice but to enter the palace with Liu Chenglong to meet him.

And Li Hao already knew what Zheng Che was doing today, so he only listened to Zheng Che play: "Your Highness, it has been more than 20 years since Your Highness succeeded to the throne, but unfortunately the mother of the middle temple has been childless, and the country is empty. It seems that His Royal Highness should consider the candidates for the princes, most of the princes are adults, and the situation is unknown, so it has been decided that the main society of the country will be permanent as soon as possible. The ministers don't know if His Royal Highness has a candidate for the son in his heart, and after the ministers and other public discussions, Guanghaijun seems to have both ability and political integrity, respectful and filial piety, and should be the choice of the prince, I don't know what His Highness thinks? ”

Li Hao waited for Zheng Che to finish speaking, and then became furious: "The widow is now in good health, why did he establish a son early?" Who should be the widow has his own decision, and what is the move of the left minister? What is the deal between Kwanghae and you? Or want to force the widow to abdicate! ”

Zheng Che was shocked, and hurriedly argued: "Your Highness, how can you dare to be a rebellious minister if you have no deal with Guanghaijun, but it is indeed the time to establish the country, and it is more appropriate for the ministers to discuss the establishment of Guanghaijun, so please ask Your Highness to consider it, and there is nothing else." On this matter, the minister and the right minister of the leader have the same opinion, although the prime minister is ill, but also entrusts the right minister to make a statement to His Royal Highness. ”

Li Hao immediately questioned Liu Chenglong, Liu Chenglong was silent for a while, and Li Hao was furious: "The widow asked you if you and the prime minister colluded with the left minister to force the palace!" ”

Liu Chenglong said: "There is no collusion, although the minister and the prime minister heard this, they still think it is too early." Li Hao immediately ordered the two to be driven out of the palace gate, and demoted Zheng Che to the right council, and Zheng Che hated the Dongren deeply.

In the nineteenth year of Wanli, the envoy to Japan returned to Korea after a year, and Li Hao ordered the internal officials to translate and read Toyotomi Hideyoshi's national book, which went straight to the words of the Ming Dynasty to the astonishment of the Korean monarchs and ministers. "Toyotomi Hideyoshi of Japan, I respectfully reply to the King of Korea. The roads of our state have been separated for a long time, abolishing the discipline of chaos, and blocking the emperor's life. Hideyoshi was indignant, and he was stubborn and persistent, and he fought in the west and east, and in a few years, more than 60 countries were determined. Hideyoshi is also contemptible, but when he is in the womb, the mother's dream day into his arms, the occupant said: 'The sun is coming, it is not thorough, and the prime of life will show off the eight watches.' 'Therefore, the battle must be won, and the attack must be won. Today, the sea is governed, the people are rich and wealthy, and the prosperity of the imperial capital is incomparably ancient. The residence of the lady has been less than 100 years old since ancient times, and An can live here for a long time? I want to pretend to be your country, beyond the mountains and seas, straight into the Ming Dynasty, so that its four hundred states can be fully transformed into our customs, and the king will govern in the billions of years, which is Hideyoshi Sushi. All the overseas vassals, those who have served are not relieved. Your country first repairs the coin, and the emperor is very good. On the day Hideyoshi entered the Ming Dynasty, he led his soldiers and soldiers to the military camp, thinking that I was the leader. ”

Zheng Che played: "What the national letter says is rude, and it goes straight to the Ming Dynasty to invade the country, the small country is arrogant, and the wolf's ambition is obvious!" ”

Yi Dou Shou said: "I ordered us to go to the Japanese military camp to greet us, supply and demand, and lead the way into the Ming Dynasty, which is clearly to hold Korea hostage and attack the Ming Kingdom." Westerners were in agreement.

Li Shanhai disagreed on this, Li Shanhai said: "The right minister is sensitive and suspicious, and the country is small, how dare you hit a stone with an egg?" The words of this letter of state are based on what the minister sees is to emulate the Korean tributary Ming Kingdom, and it is understandable that we need to guide the way to the Ming Dynasty by land. ”

Officials Cao Shen sentenced Li Dexin and other easterners also echoed. Li Hao ordered the messenger Chen Zuo to go to Japan to investigate the results, and the correspondence was making Huang Yunji play: "The Japanese king has been like a puppet for hundreds of years, and the domestic government is controlled by the powerful ministers. There were many doubts in the national letter, and the minister judged that the Japanese state should have the intention of conquering Korea and Ming on a large scale. ”

Jin Chengyi, the deputy envoy of the correspondence, said: "The letter of state was initially arrogant and rude, and the ministers and others repeatedly argued with it to force it to correct its words, but the Japanese state always responded in vain. According to the minister's observation, what the lord said was a bluff of the Japanese state, but whenever the invasion of the army must first hide the intention, secretly prepare, relax the garrison of the other party, and make a big show for fear that the world does not know that it is just a means to seek a negotiating advantage, the minister concluded that the Japanese country has no intention of invading, which is making the adult has been frightened, and after returning to the country, he still does not think about his words and deeds, and vainly says that the Japanese will invade, so that the people of the next three provinces are rushing to flee north, and the people's hearts are panicked and difficult to control. Huang Yunji and Jin Chengyi still expressed their opinions, which caused a debate in the court, and Li Hao stopped drinking, and ordered all the rumors to be arrested, and all the fugitive people were repatriated to their hometowns, and the city was built on the south bank to reorganize the armament in case of contingency.

Ten months later, Tsushima Island Lord Zong Yoshizhi and Jing Zhe Xuansu visited North Korea to present the national letter again, Liu Chenglong was puzzled, Xuansu said: "The previous national letter, we deeply feel that there are many misunderstandings, the words used in the book are not the original intention of Guan Bai, this time Guan Bai has re-written the national letter, I hope that your country will not misinterpret the meaning of Guan Bai." ”

Zong Yizhi added: "Lord Guan Bai is extremely sincere, and I want to make peace with your country and take advantage of the road to offer the meaning of the Ming Kingdom. It is precisely because Lord Sekibai is extremely sincere that if he is refused, he will definitely start a war. ”

Jin Chengyi said: "Rude people, what expectations are sincere, they are all threatened by war, even if they refuse, it is a matter of course. Under Zong Yizhi's repeated pleas, Yoo Sung-ryong agreed to present his credentials to the king of Joseon.

Li Hao was very indignant when he read the letter of resignation: "The former letter of the state was arrogant and rude and wanted to invade each other, which caused the hearts of our people to be distracted, and now he is sincere in his words, mocking the widows? The small country of birds and beasts dares to tease the state of etiquette! It's ridiculous to be overwhelmed! If the Wa Kingdom dares to invade, the widows should follow the example of the Sejong family, set foot on the Wa Realm, and capture Hideyoshi alive! Then the national letter was burned. He also ordered a reply with a letter of state, the content was arrogant, the words were sharp, and it was handed over to Zong Yizhi to bring back after the seal was complete.
