[0525 President Wei lives in the Joseon royal palace in Gongju City]
President Wei snorted, and when he heard Lin Wenbiao say this, he was completely relieved!
Seizing the great opportunity of Li Shi's confrontation with the army of the Korean royal court, first familiarizing himself with the Korean court, and then looking for an opportunity to subdue Li Shih, so as to control the Korean situation, intervene in the Korean political situation, control the DPRK or influence the affairs of the DPRK, this is what President Wei wants to do.
President Wei because of the relationship between rebirth and crossing, although it has no impact on major historical events, there are many small details that have changed slightly.
For example, he could not say how long Li Shih had been confronting the DPRK officials and troops, and he could not verify it, so he could only pay close attention to it and could only carry out his plan in full swing.
Lin Wenbiao is a very cautious person, and even Lin Wenbiao said that there is no problem, that is, there is really no problem.
President Wei sat in his luxurious carriage, which has electroplating technology and is also inlaid with gold and silver ornaments, representing the identity of President Wei, who carries it wherever he goes.
President Wei sat next to Wang Qiuya.
Lin Wenbiao and Jin Neiguan stood outside the carriage.
Originally, as the former king of Joseon, the person next to Gwanghaejun Li Hui, Kim Neiguan should not follow President Wei around in North Korea like this.
But President Wei was confident that he had no problem keeping Jin Neiguan, and he didn't believe that anyone dared to touch the people around him.
Jin Neiguan himself is not afraid, the biggest advantage of this kind of eunuch is that once the new master is recognized, everything will slowly recover, everything will serve the master, this is their life's mission, as long as they don't die, they are suitable, and they are used to this way of life.
A eunuch cannot live without a master for a day!
Therefore, it is impossible for eunuchs to be delusional to claim the title of king and emperor, they are all filmed, written, and processed indiscriminately. If the eunuch is consumed by the desire for profit, at most he fantasizes about covering the sky with one hand, lawlessness, and holding a puppet to control it, it is already the limit, and he will never think of anything to replace him and ascend to the throne.
Therefore, even President Wei also discovered the benefits of following eunuchs around him, and many things that are inconvenient for women and men to do have been done.
Therefore, President Wei, who used to criticize the phenomenon of eunuchs, after integrating into this era, was not exempt from vulgarity, and also used eunuchs!
Therefore, many later generations point fingers at the bad habits of ancient times, just because they have not entered the situation of that era, and have not put themselves in the position of people in the class of that era, if they are a superior person in ancient society, I am afraid that they will do more things that they could not imagine before. Things that I used to think were incredible and unaccustomed to will slowly adapt to and even enjoy them.
President Wei was in the carriage outside Gongju City, enjoying the dark night, not to mention the scenery, but President Wei was in a good mood at the moment, because after coming to North Korea, he vaguely felt that the difficulty of the task of this trip to North Korea should not belong to the hell level, or the difficult level, maybe easy, or medium difficulty.
Jin Jin, who was galloping on a horse, was not as leisurely as President Wei, and ran desperately to the gate of the palace of the king of Joseon.
Fortunately, he is a minister known to many people, and he is also a minister who is favored by Li Liang, and he has not encountered any obstacles along the way, if he is a stranger, it will take at least five or six times to check his identity along the way, and he will have to delay a lot of time!
"Hurry up! Wei Gongzi of the Ming Court has already arrived outside the city, and he wants to see his ancestors immediately! Jin Jin was a little nervous, panting and dismounting, and then panting and roaring, he roared at the North Korean soldiers at the gate of the palace.
"Lord Kim, so late? Your Majesty must have gone to bed! Do you have to ask to see you so late? The general guarding the door asked suspiciously.
"There's no time for rambling! Hurry up and send a message inside! He is the envoy of the Ming court! He said that in half an hour, if we don't open the city gate and let him in, he will return to Daming! When the time comes, the ancestors will not be canonized by the Ming court, will you be responsible for this responsibility? Jin Jin stiffened his neck, frowned, and said quickly and sharply, almost shouting.
When the general guarding the gate heard this, he knew that the matter was very important, and he did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly said: "Please wait!" Then he rushed into the gate of the palace and went to help find someone to report.
Although the palaces of North Korea are small and short compared to those of the Ming Dynasty, and the scale is not a level at all, the rules are not less than those of the Ming Palace, and they also have to be reported layer by layer, from the outermost palace gate to Li Liang's bedroom, at least five people's mouths must be passed.
In order to gain time, Jin Jin slightly exaggerated Wei Bao's identity, Wei Bao at most said that he came on behalf of Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, but Jin Jin said that he represented the Ming court.
Although this statement is not particularly different, it is actually very large!
Jiliao Governor can't be equated with the Ming court!
The most important thing is that in the past, the Ming Dynasty sent people to North Korea to talk about things, at least they were all senior officials at the level of Liaodong governors, and then accompanied by the prefect of Liaodong, the generals at the level of deputy generals and others, but there has never been a practice of people with no official status to come to act as envoys of the Ming Dynasty!
On the one hand, Jin Jin was forced by Wei Bao, desperate to gain time, for fear that Wei Bao would really go home without letting him enter Gongzhou City within half an hour! In addition, I was really 'deceived' by Wei Bao's temperament, and I felt that Wei Bao was indeed very aura, not like a teenager at all, he must be either rich or expensive, and there is a lot of power behind it! Otherwise, how could an ordinary teenager be a first-class official of the Ming Dynasty, a cabinet minister, and a disciple of Jiliao Governor?
It's not good, Wei Bao's family is even better!
Jin Jin and the Joseon royal court naturally didn't understand Wei Bao's identity and background, and they didn't know Wei Bao's family background. If you knew that Wei Bao's father and mother were just ordinary villagers in Liaoxi, she would not have such a cautious attitude now.
Li Liang was already asleep at this time, but after Li Liang's internal officials heard the eunuch's relay of Jin Jin's words, they knew that the matter was important and did not dare to delay, so they still stubbornly went to alarm Li Liang at the first time.
"Ancestor! Ancestors! The internal official lowered his voice, and wanted to wake up Li Liang, but he didn't dare to disturb Li Liang, this measure is indeed difficult to grasp.
Yi was the 16th monarch of the Joseon Dynasty and was born in 1623, when he was not yet 30 years old. The word and Bo, the number of pine windows, the name of Tianyin. Benguan Jeonju, born in Haeju, is the grandson of Seonjo Li Hao of North Korea, the son of Li Ji of Dingyuanjun (Yuanzong of Korea), and the nephew of Li Hui of Gwanghaejun.
Tonight accompanied Li Liang to sleep is Zhao Guiren, Zhao Guiren is quite beautiful, very favored, her father was originally a small official, after Li Liang came to power, the ministers of the DPRK and China reshuffled, especially the original ruling Dabei faction Many important ministers were killed, exiled, and swept out of the Korean court.
Zhao Guiren's father was originally just a small official, but with the rise of his son-in-law, he served as a training general in Gyeonggi Province, and he was a very powerful figure.
Li Liang didn't wake up, Zhao Guiren woke up, got out of bed in his clothes, arrived at the door of the dormitory, pushed open the door a little, and asked softly, "What's the matter?" Internal officer. ”
"Niangniang, Lord Jin Jin asked to see him outside the palace gate, saying that the envoy sent by the Ming court had arrived, and he had to enter the palace at this time, and if he didn't open the city gate to let him in within half an hour, he would return to Daming! The stakes are so high that I dare not delay, and I need His Majesty to make an idea immediately. The internal official hurriedly retold Jin Jin's meaning concisely.
Zhao Guiren was shocked when he heard this, let go of his body, and said, "Then you go in and call your ancestors, I don't dare to call it." ”
The internal officials didn't dare to scream, and woke up the king, who knows if the king will lose his temper? Don't say it's a king, if you change to a random small people, you won't be happy if you are woken up in the middle of the night, right?
Zhao Guiren and Li Liang's internal officials were in a hurry, and they were delayed for nearly a minute, and finally the internal officials mustered up the courage and entered the dormitory to call Li Liang: "Ancestor, ancestor." He raised his voice a bit.
Li Qi heard someone screaming in a daze, mumbled, opened his sleepy eyes, felt that the light was a little dazzling, covered his eyes, and said impatiently: "What's the matter?" ”
"Ancestor, Lord Jin Jin urgently asked to see him, and he is now waiting outside the palace gate." Immediately, he told the Ming envoy about the coming.
Li Ju was startled, and suddenly his sleepiness disappeared, Li Ju was very nervous about Daming, he didn't have a lot of dissatisfaction with Daming like Guanghaijun Li Hui!
Because Li Ju overthrew the throne obtained by Guanghaijun Li Hui, it is unjustifiable, and he can only oppose the line that Guanghaijun Li Hui adheres to! Guanghaijun Li Hui opposes the line, he can only insist!
Guanghaijun Li Hui's relationship with Daming is not very good, he is torn between Daming and Houjin, and it is not good when it comes to Li Liang, Li Ju must either completely betray Daming, otherwise, he must be completely loyal to Daming and completely cut off the relationship with Houjin!
Because, Li Liang came to power under the banner of opposing Guanghaijun Li Hui, under the banner of anyway! Being unfaithful to the Ming Dynasty is one of the most important points! Moreover, this article has been used in the national letter to the Ming court for instructions and canonization, and it is impossible to change it again!
Therefore, Li Liang took the late night visit of the Ming envoys very seriously!
"Hurry up and Xuan Jinjin come to see me! How many hours have passed now? Is half an hour up? Don't let the bright hour go back like this, in that case, it's all over! Li Liang tried his best not to be exaggerated, and tried to keep his face expressionless, because this is the bearing that a dignitary should have, not to mention that he is the king of North Korea, and he must be happy and angry! But at this time, it is obviously too difficult to make Li Liang feel happy and angry.
The internal official hurriedly agreed, stepped back quickly, and hurriedly asked his cronies and eunuchs to pass the word when he left the door of the dormitory, and asked the eunuch to take his token and go directly to the palace gate to Xuan Jinjin to come in!
Who knew that before the internal official's words were finished, Li Liang said loudly in the dormitory: "You don't have to send someone!" I personally went out of the palace to meet Jin Jin! Quickly send someone to inform the two classes of ministers to wait outside the city gate! ”
"Yes, Ancestor!" The internal official was shocked, knowing that the ancestor had changed his plan, so he hurriedly agreed, and said to his cronies and eunuchs: "Hurry up and order someone to go!" Fast! ”
The eunuch, a close confidant of the internal official, agreed, and quickly retreated in small steps, the will of the ancestors, he heard it clearly, where did he dare to delay.
Fortunately, this is Gongju, not Seoul, which is several times larger than Gongju, and it is definitely not so fast to summon two classes of ministers at once! And Gongju is okay.
"Ancestor, do you want to go out of the city to pick up the Ming Dynasty envoy in person? That man came over in the middle of the night, and he was in such a hurry, why didn't let him enter the city for half an hour and returned to Daming, it was really rude. Zhao Guiren summoned the palace maid to dress Li Kui, and she also helped Li Kui tidy up her clothes, while complaining beside her, "It's such a big night, it disturbed Your Majesty, it's true." ”
"Say less! Daming is the suzerainty of my Korea, and it is normal for the people they come to be arrogant! I'm new to the throne, and I can't afford to slack off! Li Liang himself was also in a hurry to tidy up his clothes, and reprimanded Zhao Guiren.
Zhao Guiren was very curious, what kind of minister of the Ming Kingdom came? This person is really strange, it's the middle of the night, why don't you rest for a night at the post station outside the city, and then enter the city tomorrow? Why do you have to do so many things at night on such a cold day?
Li Liang was neatly dressed, riding in a sedan chair carried by four people, the kind in the open air, urging the eunuchs to run quickly!
Soon arrived at the gate of the palace.
Jin Jin, who was extremely anxious when he saw that his ancestor had come out in person, was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to greet him: "Ancestor, I have brought the envoy of the Ming Kingdom." ”
Li Liang was worried that after the hour, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty would leave, so he had no intention of saying more: "Needless to say, I know everything!" How many hours has it taken now? I'll personally pick up the Ming envoys! You ride with me! ”
Jin Jin agreed, led a horse, and followed the team carrying Li Liang to run quickly.
Jin Jin didn't have time to answer, secretly thinking, half an hour should have arrived, right?
However, according to the speed of the ancestor himself, it should be possible to catch up!
In the narrow streets, people really can't run slower than horses!
Li Qi was so anxious that he couldn't care about pretending to be temperamental, so he kept urging, faster, faster!
President Wei didn't pinch the time too much, but just let Lin Wenbiao grasp the time.
Lin Wenbiao felt that half an hour had passed, and he waited for a few minutes before saying to Wei Bao: "Childe, it's almost time, it should be more than half an hour." ”
President Wei closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and muttered: "The car turns and returns to Incheon!" ”
"Yes! Son. Lin Wenbiao agreed, and beckoned the team of nearly 400 people from the President's Guard, the President's Secretariat, and the General Administration of Statistics to turn around and return to the direction of Incheon!
"Is that really going back?" Wang Qiuya asked Wei Bao softly in surprise, originally thinking that Wei Bao was just putting on a show.
"Or else? said to wait for half an hour, just wait for half an hour, and be a man to keep his promises. Wei Bao didn't open his eyes, still lying on Wang Qiuya's lap.
When the car didn't move, he originally said that he was lying on the backrest, but when the car moved, it was obviously not as comfortable as lying on Wang Qiuya's lap when he was lying on the backrest, so President Wei's head changed places.
Wang Qiuya let out a soft sigh and gently hugged the back of the president's head with both hands to prevent the president's head from being uncomfortable.
A woman's thighs are President Wei's best pillows, which are more comfortable than latex pillows. Dermal tender meat series.
More than a dozen North Korean ministers who had gone to Ganghwa Island with Kim Jin to pick up Wei Bao, as well as Hong Juyuan, who had been beaten and covered in blood and had not been treated, remained at the gate of Gongju City.
More than a dozen North Korean ministers, each in fluent Chinese, loudly begged Wei Gongzi to wait a little longer.
But Wei Gongzi's chariot still left ruthlessly, and he didn't go in a hurry, and he didn't just make a show, at a normal speed.
More than a dozen Korean ministers squatted on the ground in distraction after they couldn't see Wei Bao's chariot and entourage, and they were annoyed, they hated Wei Bao's arrogance, and they were worried that Wei Bao really left like this, and the Korean king Li Liang was afraid that it would be difficult to get the canonization of the Ming court, and I don't know how many disasters would happen?
These people are all ministers of the Westerner Party, and naturally they are already loyal to Li Liang and hope to be able to govern in peace and stability.
Daming's Wei Gongzi just left, and they were naturally anxious.
Just after the gang was in agony for about ten minutes, the chariot of the Joseon king Yi Liang came.
Li Liang only brought out about a hundred people, all of whom were strong eunuchs and royal guards, so the speed was not slow.
"What about the Ming envoys?" When Li Liang saw these dejected ministers, as well as Hong Zhuyuan, who was covered in blood and was carried by several soldiers, he was immediately shocked! I couldn't help but ask loudly.
"It's gone, it's been more than an hour since I left." A minister replied with red eyes and a choked voice.
Yes?
Li Liang and Jin Jin couldn't help but let out such a sound, they didn't expect that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty were really so arrogant and rude? Will you really just say go? Don't you want to stay any longer?
Is this child's play?
"Hurry up! Be sure to keep the Ming envoys! You guys run to keep up! Li Liang immediately ordered, he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, he just wanted to leave the Ming envoys! To leave the Ming envoys!
Everyone agreed, and Li Liang's chariot continued to chase after Wei Bao's team, and more than a dozen ministers were miserable, so they got the order and trotted to accompany them!
These people are at least forty years old, and in this era, they are all half-old men.
While letting people chase after the Ming envoys, Li Liang glanced back at the horse Hong Zhuyuan, who was carried by several soldiers on the edge of the city gate.
Hong Zhuyuan and the princess are both younger than Li Liang, but they are older, one is Li Liang's uncle, and the other is Li Liang's aunt.
Li Liang sighed, although he didn't ask, but he knew that Hong Zhuyuan must have been beaten like this by the envoys of the Ming Dynasty!
At this moment, Hong Zhuyuan was delirious, everyone was busy receiving the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and no one had time to arrange Hong Zhuyuan.
In fact, more than half an hour ago, when he first arrived at the gate of Gongzhou City, he should have arranged for someone to carry Hong Zhuyuan into the city to find Lang Chinese medicine for treatment.
Mainly because a group of North Korean ministers who went to greet Wei Bao were afraid of offending Wei Bao again, in front of Wei Bao, no one dared to speak, anyway, it had been delayed for so long, it seemed that Hong Zhuyuan was only injured and broken, and it seemed that his life was safe, so no one was in charge of Hong Zhuyuan.
President Wei's heart is not so small, President Wei has almost forgotten about Hong Zhuyuan, how can he not let people heal him?
Li Liang led people to chase for about ten minutes, and then caught up with Wei Bao and his party.
Wei Bao's team didn't go particularly fast, just at a normal speed, while Li Liang's team chased very fast, at least five times the speed of Wei Bao's team, so they caught up at once.
Wei Bao knew that the North Koreans would definitely chase after him, but he didn't expect it to be Li Kun himself, secretly funny, so the value of the North Koreans dropped even lower! Even their king has to come after him in person, isn't his status raised higher?
"Your Excellency, please wait!" Several generals of the Korean royal family's guards rode their horses to stop the procession before Wei Bao's chariot battled.
President Wei raised his hand and signaled the convoy to stop, if he didn't stop, the guards would not stop, and these generals of the Korean royal family's guards and pro-army forcibly intercepted their own cars, and even their lives were in danger.
"Your Excellency, our king has arrived, please meet you." After dismounting, a general of the Korean royal family's guards dismounted, bowed and said to Wei Bao.
Wei Bao hummed expressionlessly, and had no intention of getting off the horse.
At this time, Li Liang's chariot had already come into contact with Wei Bao's convoy, but the sedan chair that Li Liang was carrying by four people was still five or six hundred meters away from Wei Bao's carriage.
Either Wei Bao went over to see Li Liang, or Li Liang came over to see Wei Bao, otherwise it would still be difficult for the two of them to meet.
Neither of them seemed to have any intention of getting out of the carriage or getting off the sedan chair, and they froze for a while.
Wei Bao looked at Jin Neiguan, who came to the carriage and whispered to Wei Bao: "Childe, just wait, he will definitely come." ”
When Wei Bao heard this, he was relieved a lot, at this time, he didn't dare to put on a score, if the king of Korea chased after him in person like this, he didn't wait anymore, and continued to go home, it would really be too much to give the other party.
Wei Bao is not at ease, and Li Liang is naturally even more worried! looked at Jin Jin beside him.
Jin Jin was on the horse, close to Li Qi's sedan chair, and the height of the two people was the same.
Jin Jin said softly: "Ancestor, he may not come!" You didn't see that Ming Dynasty envoy, who was particularly arrogant and rude. Did you see the pony just now? It was injured by the envoys of the Ming Dynasty! He has a violent temperament. ”
Li Qi frowned, "But if I go over, aren't we too shameless?" Do you want me to be the king of Korea and pay homage to one of his envoys? ”
"You don't have to pay homage, just take a sedan chair and talk to him." Jin Jin said.
Li Liang didn't say anything, even if he took a sedan chair, it was still a little difficult to accept!
This is the land of North Korea, in the past, it seems that this Ming envoy is the lord and he is the guest!
Wei Bao and Li Liang were in such a stalemate for another ten minutes.
In the end, Li Liang gave in first, Li Liang had no choice, he had waited for so long, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Ming envoy was waiting for him to pass, and the Ming envoy had absolutely no intention of taking the initiative to come.
Li Liang had no choice but to pass.
The road here is not wide, although it is the official road of North Korea, but it is only two-thirds the width of the official road of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not even enough.
In this era, the official road of the Ming Dynasty is not wide.
The ancient post road is the national highway of later generations, also known as the official road in ancient times, is the national highway system invested by the central government and built according to the unified national standard, built according to the standard of about one zhang, which can ensure that two horses go in the opposite direction and pass unimpeded.
In ancient times, post roads were mainly used for the transmission of information on various official documents such as government affairs, economy, and military affairs between the central government and the local government, material transportation, army mobilization, army logistics supply, and official business trips, transfers, and inspections.
It is also an important means for the central government to exercise political control over the border areas. The post station was set up along the post road to be responsible for official reception, information transmission, road management and military supply.
Together, the post road and the post station were called the post system, which was equivalent to today's postal telecommunications, government guest houses, and military stations.
Post is the ancient name of the post station set up in the province and region. Stations and stations refer to the post transmission settings in the border areas.
In the past, the post station did not have the three functions of newspaper transmission, official reception, and material transportation at the same time, but in the Qing Dynasty, the post station was a combination of three functions.
Due to the important position of the post system in the rule of the whole country, it was directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and the military department in successive dynasties.
The official road of the Ming Dynasty can accommodate two horses to pass at the same time.
But President Wei's carriage itself is two horses.
There are also more than 300 non-commissioned officers of the President's Guard who protect President Wei, as well as the President's Secretariat and the General Administration of Statistics, as well as the accompanying cooks, Lang Zhong, these people are all considered to be members of the President's Secretariat, a total of more than 400 people.
Such a large team is not huge, but it is not small.
Therefore, Li Liang wanted to go over, but he really couldn't take a sedan chair to go over.
After receiving the king's order, Li Liang's sedan chair tried to pass, but the people of the president's guard did not give way.
President Wei looked back at the situation, and then looked at Jin Neiguan.
Jin Neiguan said softly: "Childe, take it when you see it!" If Li Liang is really allowed to dismount, it will indeed damage the prestige of the entire North Korea, and it will not be good for the reputation of the son. ”
President Wei nodded, and then said loudly to the team: "You flash to the sides and let him come!" And ordered his carriage to turn around and face Li Liang's sedan chair.
The President's Guard, the President's Secretariat, and the General Administration of Statistics received orders and got out of the way.
But the road is too narrow, Li Liang's sedan chair is not big, otherwise he still can't come, when he comes, the four sedan chair drivers and Wei Bao's people standing on both sides of the road are almost all hit.
Li Liang's sedan chair, in such a crowded environment, seemed to be juggling, and when he finally arrived at Wei Bao's carriage, it was just a few hundred meters, but it had already taken more than ten minutes, and it was almost time for him to come here from the city gate and catch up with the Ming envoys!
This big night is the most sleepy time, and it is simply a living sin.
Li Liang's sedan chair was near, President Wei was still sitting in the carriage, and he didn't mean to get off, Wang Qiuya had already gotten out of the car.
The military use of Bao is kerosene lamps, and the people around President Wei are all kerosene lamps, kerosene lamps are bright, there are many of them, and the illumination range is larger than that of torches, so the vision is very good.
Li Qi sat on the sedan chair, and could vaguely see a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy sitting in the carriage, and he fainted without anger.
Although Li Liang already knew that Wei Bao was a disciple of Sun Chengzong, the Liao Governor of the Great Ming Dynasty, he didn't know Wei Bao's specific age.
It must be that this person has a tender face! Maybe you're in your thirties, about the same age as me, but you just look young, right? Li Qi comforted himself.
Li Liang looked at Wei Bao, and Wei Bao also looked at Li Liang, through the front window glass of the carriage.
Whether it was the carriage of the Wei Bao Guards or the kerosene lamps in their hands, everything made Li Liang feel extremely strange.
However, Li Kun's demeanor is still very good, and his face is expressionless.
This seems to have become the standard configuration of nobles in Wei Bao's understanding.
With a blank face and a flat tone, he seems to be indifferent to no matter how big things are. Except, of course, when you are beaten, or when you watch someone get beaten.
Why hasn't this young man spoken yet? Do you want me to take the initiative to greet him? It's so rude! Even if the Ming Dynasty's Jiliao Governor arrives in person, he is also a guest, so he should greet me first! I've already conceded to this, what else does he want to do?
No matter what Li Ju thinks, anyway, President Wei has made up his mind, just don't speak, and wait for you to speak first.
"Hello to the Ming envoy! I am the new king of Joseon, Yi Liang. In the end, Li Liang couldn't help it and spoke first.
Wei Bao smiled and said: "You are Li Liang, but you are not the new king of Joseon, and your throne has not been canonized by the Ming Dynasty." ”
After Wei Bao finished speaking, he remembered, what are you laughing at? It seems to be really smiling.
Li Liang was not surprised when he heard the other party say this, as if he had expected it a long time ago.
In Li Liang's opinion, anyway, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty came to find faults, and then try to get benefits, to get benefits for themselves, to get benefits for the Ming court and the Ming Emperor, nothing more than that.
Although Li Liang has just ascended to the throne and is not experienced, there is no shortage of experienced people around him who will tell him this.
"Although I have not been officially canonized by the Ming Dynasty, but I have been supported by the ministers and the people, and I can only reluctantly take over the throne, I hope that the ministers can give the Ming Dynasty court as soon as possible, and give me the official canonization, and my country will be grateful." Li Qi replied.
"It's getting late." Wei Bao's face was expressionless, and his tone was very calm, learning the tone of Li Liang's speech. With a clear reference, he found that it seemed not difficult to be a nobleman and a king, and that's it.
Wei Bao didn't want to chat outside Gongzhou City in the middle of the night.
It's late autumn weather, it's already cold!
Li Liang understood what Wei Bao meant, and he didn't want to speak in front of his subordinates in front of the Ming envoys like this.
Li Ju felt very embarrassed and lost his national body.
"Please enter the city with the Ming envoys, there are good pavilions in the city for the envoys to stay." Li said.
"I had high requirements for accommodation! Your country is small and the people are weak, and the pavilions are all in tatters, I want to live, at least I have to live in your palace! The palace is not a royal palace, so you can live there, right? Wei Bao said.
Li Liang was stunned, and Kim Jin and a group of North Korean ministers who came with him were also shocked.
Although Wei Bao had said to Jin Jin before that he wanted to live in the North Korean Palace, he didn't expect that Wei Bao didn't say it casually, in front of the King of Korea, he actually said the same? Although the palace is the king's palace, not the official palace, it is also the king's residence! You, an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, are really rude to make such a request?
The reason why Wei Bao repeatedly asked to live in the palace was not because he coveted the idea of enjoyment, and he was not completely unable to endure hardships. What hard accommodation and eating conditions have not endured?
After coming to Daming, I have also suffered a lot!
The reason why Wei Bao asked to live in the palace was to pull himself to the same height as the king of Joseon, Li Liang, in terms of identity and status!
Only by being at the same height as Li Liang can we better contact with Li Liang, the princes and ministers of Korea, the ministers of the two classes, and the big families, and can we occupy a commanding height.
Moreover, Wei Bao believes that at this juncture when Li Liang is fighting with the rebels and has not been officially canonized by the Ming court, Li Liang will give in to everything and will give in!
"Your Excellency, there is no such precedent! Do you think this is okay, I will ask a minister here in Gongju tomorrow to give up his mansion for adults to live temporarily, and the conditions will definitely not be worse than the palace, or even better, how about it? Li Liang retreated and begged for the next word.
"No, I must live in the palace! It's too chaotic here, and I'm afraid that other places won't be safe! You can carve out an area for me and my people to live in, and we don't move around! Wei Bao insisted.
"Your Excellency! I said when I was in Ganghwa Island that this won't work! Although the palace is not as good as the royal palace in Seoul, it is also something that only our ancestors can live in. When others go to Daming to live in the palace of the Ming Emperor, will the Ming Emperor agree? Jin Jin spoke up at this time, when he was in Ganghwa Island, he was stopped by Wei Bao's beating of Hong Zhuyuan, and now that he is in Gongzhou, he is not afraid again.
And at this time, not only the dozen or so North Korean ministers who had accompanied Jin Jin to Ganghwa Island to pick up Wei Bao were present, but as Li Liang asked people to inform everywhere, more and more ministers from the two classes came over.
"Your example is very inappropriate!" Wei Bao glanced at the more and more Korean ministers gathered, and said bluntly: "North Korea is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, yes or no?" Li Ju was not officially canonized by the Ming court, so he was not the official king of Joseon! So the DPRK is now ownerless! Also, the palace of the Ming Dynasty is not only for the emperor to live, but the emperor can also entertain ministers! Even the Forbidden City, there is also a place for ministers to rest! ”
There may not be many people who can compare to Wei Bao, because Wei Bao is not quibbling, he is reasoning with facts.
Only the requirements that can be achieved will be raised, and if they cannot be achieved, they are really rude requirements, and Wei Bao will not put them forward.
Li Liang glanced at the ministers, and then quickly turned around and bowed his head in contemplation.
Jin Jin didn't say anything more, and slapped Wei Bao in front of his ancestors, although it didn't have any effect, but the appearance that should have been done had been made, and it was almost the same.
There are other ministers who want to show loyalty and patriotism in front of their ancestors, almost all of them have this kind of thought, thinking that Jin Jin has already said this, and it is the same thing to say, so it is better to wait for the ancestors to make their own decisions.
Li Liang stopped for a minute, and the scene was very cold.
Wei Bao waited for Li Liang or the ministers of North Korea to speak first, and if they didn't speak, he would never speak.
"Okay, I can have someone set aside a place in the palace for the envoy to live temporarily!" Li Liang finally made up his mind and said: "I'm afraid that if I do this, not only will the people of North Korea say that I have tarnished the face of North Korea, but I am afraid that if this matter spreads, I will also criticize the envoy!" People who say that the Ming don't understand etiquette. ”
Although Li Liang agreed, his words were full of resentment.
Wei Bao wanted to laugh, but forcibly held back, still expressionless, and his tone was flat: "Anything will inevitably be criticized." There are two sides to everything, negative thinking is like this, positive thinking is another scene, why can't you use public opinion to guide you and Daming to have a good relationship? North Korea is loyal to the Ming Dynasty? As thick as thieves? ”
When Li Liang and the ministers heard this, they were all sweating, and secretly thought that they should not say it again, this envoy looked young, and his mouth was really able to speak, and it seemed that the dead could be said to be alive, anyway, he had a point.
"Then please invite the envoy into the city." Li Liang was still sitting on the sedan chair carried by four people, although he was suppressed by Wei Bao everywhere, his expression was still stable, and his tone was also very stable, quite a general's demeanor.
If Wei Bao hadn't been mentioned by Jin Neiguan in advance, he would definitely think that the Koreans have a city, but not now, Wei Bao knows that the nobility of North Korea is like this.
And Wei Bao heard that none of the members of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be this kind of calm faction, but it seemed that most of them were very excited, excited, and would hit the steps with their heads anytime and anywhere, and ascend to heaven on the spot.
Li Liang said, so he ordered the accompanying officials to quickly send someone to clean up the south garden of the palace, and then vacate it for the Ming envoys and his subordinates to live!
Wei Bao only brought more than 300 people from the President's Guard, and more than 100 people from the President's Secretariat and the General Administration of Statistics on this trip, a total of more than 400 people, who can stay at will.
The key to living in the palace of the Joseon king will make the Joseon royal family lose face, and second, it will add great difficulties to their escort work!
Originally, as long as the periphery of the palace was guarded, now another army had to be sent to keep an eye on Nanyuan.
Yi Liang's sedan chair withdrew from the crowd and walked forward, followed by the two classes of Korean ministers and the royal family's guards.
Then, President Wei's team followed.
"The Koreans are very talkative, and they actually agreed to let us live in a palace where only the royal family can live, which is equivalent to living in the Forbidden City in Daming, right?" After Wang Qiuya got back into the carriage, she whispered excitedly in Wei Bao's ear.
Wei Bao smiled indifferently: "Almost!" Mainly because he didn't dare to offend me! From the moment he personally chased our convoy, I knew that this guy was going to be taken care of by me! ”
"Then we're going to get food from North Korea this time, right!?" Wang Qiuya said happily.
"Where is it so simple? Now it's just a test of Li Kun's attitude. This person is obedient on the surface, but what he thinks in his heart, who knows? Also, even if he is at his mercy, he is just a man who has just ascended to the throne, and the North Korean forces are intricate! The ministers didn't necessarily listen to him completely. Moreover, even if Li Liangken cooperated with the food, didn't Jin Neiguan say it? The royal family did not have much food in their hands, and now that the rebels have occupied Seoul and we have occupied Ganghwa Island, it is questionable whether Li Liang can control half of the grain of the Korean court. Also, fighting a war consumes the most military rations! How much grain is in the hands of the Korean royal family now, I'm afraid Li Liang himself doesn't know! ”
"Is it still so troublesome? I thought it was going to be easy. Wang Qiuya suddenly sighed.
