Goryeo, royal palace.

This is already the third day of the death of the king Li Liang, under the flickering candlelight, the entire palace is full of white and vegetarian color, and the deep night is intertwined, the atmosphere is terrifying and depressing.

Li Hao, who has been established as the successor, is keeping vigil for his father at this time, and his wives and concubines and children are still kneeling around.

The children were tired and asleep, but they couldn't really sleep, so they could only snuggle up in their mothers' arms.

Even though the women are tired, they don't want to be caught, and they lose their manners, so they are sobbing hard.

Li Hao was also tired at this time, he hadn't eaten or drunk much in the past few days, he had lost at least five or six pounds, and his eyes were empty and he was in a daze at the huge black coffin.

Really calculated, although Li Liang is slightly suspected of dying violently, he is basically a normal death.

He was nearly 60 years old, and his life was full of ups and downs, such as the chaos of Dingmao and the chaos of Chongzi, which directly shook the foundation of Goryeo and decided the state of Goryeo, both of which occurred during his tenure.

Including the largest coup d'état in the history of Goryeo, 'Injo Anyway', he was also a witness, and it was because of this that he rose to power.

His life may not be brilliant, but it can definitely be called magnificent.

As early as the beginning of the year, when Xu Changqing met with him, his health was actually very bad, and it was normal for him to have problems now.

When he first got the news of his father's death, Li Hao was actually quite happy in his heart, after all, he finally got rid of his father's shadow and could control the dynasty according to his wishes.

But after the joy of the previous day or two, all kinds of practical pressures came to his face, and he only understood that this family was not easy to do.

In particular, he now faces a very critical problem.

——Is it to accept the canonization of the little emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or to accept the canonization of the great emperor......

These two choices, which seem to be one step apart, are actually completely different.

It will directly determine the fate and direction of Goryeo in the future.

Just as he was thinking about it, a eunuch hurriedly came over to report: "Your Majesty, the envoys of the Great Qing Kingdom have come to see you......

Li Hao's heart tightened.

After a moment, he replied indifferently: "I know, I'll see you right away." ”

Not long ago, Li Hao came to the outer hall, and a true Manchurian fat man in his early Chinese New Year's Eve with a proud face was already sitting on the first seat of the guest seat.

Although he was a guest at this time, he showed the style of the host, even if Li Hao came in, he didn't get up.

Moreover, there is no trace of whiteness on his body, and the smell of alcohol on his body is smoky from afar, and he has no respect for the Goryeo royal family.

Li Hao's eyelids suddenly twitched, but he still had to smile on his face: "Xiao Wang has seen the envoy." ”

Because the fat man in front of him is the clan of the Great Qing Kingdom, the grandson of the old slave Nurhachi, and the nephew of the regent Dorgon, named Bambulshan, from the sixth son of the old slave and the auxiliary prince Tabai, he is the yellow belt of the eight classics, and he is quite respected.

Seeing Li Hao coming, Bamble said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how have you been thinking about it these days, and when are you going to accept my canonization from the Qing Dynasty?" Hehe, if it's late, it's not easy for me to explain to the above. When the time comes, it won't be the king's 100,000 taels that will solve the problem. ”

"This ......"

Li Hao showed embarrassment and bitterness on his face, but he couldn't stop scolding in his heart, and he couldn't wait to peel off the skin and cramp this dead fat man, and eat it alive again.

Yesterday, his henchmen conveyed to him this meaning of Ban Bushan, asking him to pay 100,000 taels of silver, and the Great Qing Kingdom canonized him as soon as possible to ensure his legitimacy.

Originally, he thought it was a joke, but how could he have imagined that Bamburshan would actually come to him in person at this time......

Before his father died, he left an edict, and he had been legally determined to be the successor, so how could he need the canonization of the Qing Dynasty to protect it

Justify his legitimacy?

is really going to be canonized by the Qing Dynasty, and his orthodoxy will become unorthodox!

At this time, because of the previous transaction with Xu Changqing to sell Jeju Island and other places, it is not that he can't come up with the 100,000 taels of silver, the key is that Bamble looks at him like an ant, and makes it clear that he wants to release his blood, which makes him more disgusting than eating flies.

But he didn't dare to offend the yellow belt of Bamburshan at this time, so he could only cry and say: "Lord Envoy, no, it's not that Xiao Wang doesn't want to be canonized, it's just that Xiao Wang hasn't officially ascended the throne yet, and his father is still cold, Xiao Wang, I really can't take out so much silver......"

"You can't even take out 100,000 taels?"

Bamburshan's face changed immediately, locking on to Li Hao like a gloomy boar.

Li Hao hung his head with a bitter face, and he didn't even bother to explain.

Now that the accounts of their treasury are less than 100,000 taels of silver, and they have to hold a funeral for his father, he still doesn't believe it.

Bamburshan originally wanted to continue to oppress Li Hao, but seeing that Li Hao looked like he was going to die, he hurriedly put back the cruel words that came to his lips.

Speaking of which, it's not entirely to blame Bambulshan for being so black, because he has only been in Goryeo for a month, and he hasn't touched the situation in Goryeo too much.

Here, I want to talk a little about the Manchu system's system for the clan.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, which directly treated the clan as a pig, the Qing Dynasty still attached great importance to the ability of the clan, and allowed them to lead troops to serve, after all, they were too few of them, and they had to use their bloodlines to consolidate their rule, but the families of these clans could not be taken out of Beijing.

Although Bamburshan is a yellow belt and is the direct blood of the old slave, his father Tabai died early, and their brothers have no power.

Some time ago, when he got the news that the envoy of the Great Qing Kingdom in Goryeo was in poor health and wanted to go back to recuperate, he borrowed a lot of money from a few brothers, ran through the door of Jierharang, and got this errand.

Think about it, he spent more than 30,000 taels of silver just to run the relationship, and owed a lot of debts, and finally came to Goryeo, how could he not scrape three feet of land?

Don't look at Bambul's good fat head and big ears, brainless nouveau riche general, but he is very proficient in the art of scheming.

Historically, Ao Bai wanted to create a little pockmark, and Bamburshan was his number one strategist, a dog-headed military advisor.

Unfortunately, it failed in the end, if it didn't fail......

At this time, seeing Li Hao's sad appearance, Bambul's good drinking spirit also dissipated a lot, and he understood that he was a little too anxious, so he hurriedly got up and came to Li Hao's side, and said with a friendly smile:

"Look, your lord, what kind of trouble is this? Actually, I don't have to do anything, but it's really for the good of the king. You think, although you have the edict of the previous king, many things are not very insured. But you can rest assured, whether it is the funeral of the first king or your accession to the throne, I, Bamburshan, will serve you as a dog and horse! ”

Seeing that Bambur couldn't sing with a black face and then sang with a white face, Li Hao only felt a burst of nausea.

That's what people are.

If the first impression is not good, it is not a matter of time and place to make up for it.

But on the face, Li Hao still has to follow Bambul's kindness and grievances, not to mention how disgusting.

Bambur saw that Li Hao was becoming more and more submissive, and thought that he had bluffed him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, Goryeo has no money now, then we must not be too abrupt." In this way, I have heard that there are many people in the court who are disrespectful to you, so leave this matter to me. At most, I will give you a proper explanation, how about it? ”

"This ......"

Li Hao didn't think that Bamburshan would have another plan if he couldn't make a plan, and this one hit Goryeo's heart directly.

Even if he thinks about it with his ass, he can understand that if he agrees to Bamburshan, Goryeo

What will become of the court?

It must be flying sand and rocks, and the people are not able to make a living.

I could only grit my teeth and say, "Lord Envoy, this, this is still unnecessary, right?" At this time, although the treasury is not abundant, but in the past few years, Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang also has some private money, if not, Xiao Wang first to the adult to make up 30,000 taels, wait for Xiao Wang to slow down a little, and then give the rest to the adult to make up how to ......"

There is an abyss on one side, and a bottomless pit on the other, Li Hao can only choose the bottomless pit first after being entangled for a moment, even if it is to quench his thirst, at least let the matter go first.

"Well...... this"

Bambur's eyes rolled.

The reason why he was in such a hurry to make money and forced Li Hao to die was mainly because he had nearly 10,000 taels of silver in seal money, that is, usury.

If Li Hao is willing to pay 30,000 taels at this time, it can be regarded as solving his urgent need to fill in this big hole first.

And as long as he fills in this big hole, he won't be forced so anxious and eat so ugly.

After thinking about it, it was difficult for a while, and Bamburshan agreed to it, but he asked Li Hao to raise it within three days.

……

"I'm @#¥%!!"

After sending Ban Bushan away, Li Hao couldn't help but scold in a low voice.

Why do you say that they are Hulu, they are like beasts!

It's a pity that even with Xu Changqing's support, they are still too weak to take the step of resistance.

This made Li Hao feel haggard for a while.

It's too hard to live, it's too hard.

I was dull for a while, and I was about to go back to continue the vigil, when suddenly another henchman came to report: "Your Majesty, yes, there is a messenger from Haicheng who wants to see you......

"Huh?"

Li Hao was clever, and after a moment, he asked in a low voice, "Where are the people?" ”

The henchmen hurriedly told him the place.

Li Hao thought about it, grabbed this henchman and whispered a few words in a low voice, and quickly ran to the side hall.

Soon, Li Hao met the messenger of the Model Army, who was Xu Zhong.

Xu Zhong rushed over overnight, his face was full of wind and dust, but his spirit was excellent, and he said with a smile: "I have seen the king in my humble position." ”

A salute is deep to the end.

Compared with the arrogant Ban Bushan, it is simply two heavens of ice and fire, and Li Hao's heart is a lot more comfortable at once, this is a civilized society.

After a few pleasantries, Xu Zhong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you are in some trouble?" ”

“……”

Li Hao was clever, but he understood in an instant, how could Xu Changqing not pay attention to them at this time and now?

After thinking about it, he informed Xu Zhong of the matter.

Xu Zhong actually knew about this two hours ago, and the model army's intelligence work in Goryeo was not low.

After thinking about it, he frowned and said: "Your Majesty, you are like this, it is tantamount to drinking water to quench your thirst, this is not a long-term way after all." ”

Li Hao smiled bitterly: "If you don't do this, what can you do?" It can't be done, let that dead fat man directly intervene in the court, right? That's the catastrophe! ”

Xu Zhong said: "Your Majesty, I don't hide it, I came here this time, I was entrusted by my marquis, and I have a secret matter to discuss with you." Hou Ye granted a great deal of autonomy to the lowly position. ”

"Oh?"

Li Hao suddenly became cautious and did not dare to express his position easily.

Rao is Xu Zhong is quite honest with him, but he is not really in the position at this time, and his ass is not stable, as if he does not dare to risk his own life.

But the contrast between the attitudes of the Ming and Qing dynasties is really too stark.

Xu Zhong understood Li Hao's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, after all, the humble position has just arrived, and many things are not familiar yet, so they may not be able to help you." But if you are in trouble, you can send someone to inform you of your humble duties. I dare not say that within the scope of my humble authority, there is still some silver, which may be able to help the king. ”
