Chapter 375: Peak Loop
After Li Yi listened to Liu Jie's words, his face suddenly showed despair!
He trembled and said, "Impossible, we go back, we are looking for death." ”
He knows the ecology of Seoul too well, all the loyal and good have been punished, and the rest, such as the leaders who have mastered the power, are cautious and diligent, Ren Shihong, and the officials Cao Jushu Liu Shunting, the central government affairs Park Yuanzong, and the deputy secretary Yongcheng Xiyan are all loyal to Li Long.
In this case, to go back is to die.
He argued: "The kingdom should take our opinion into account." Doing so is no different from colluding with Li Long, handing us back, and letting us die in vain. ”
"Nope." Liu Jie glanced at Li Yi deeply, and then said: "I will go with you, if it dies, we will die together." ”
Li Yi was stunned.
He already knew Liu Jie's identity, although he was just a man and had an order, but this person was the son of Liu Jian, the first assistant university scholar of the Ming Cabinet.
His identity is more noble than that of himself, the prince of the domain.
But......
Li Yi smiled bitterly: "Why do you have to go to death? Could it be that sending him to death can verify the cruelty of Brother Wang? Admiral Liu, Brother Wang invented a lot of torture tools, these torture tools are imitated from the most famous tyrant in the history of the kingdom, if we fall into his hands, death is nothing, the terrible thing is that we will be worse than death, he will only slowly drain our blood, will make every inch of our flesh feel miserable. ”
"Because it's Shigong's order." Liu Jie's will still did not loosen up at all, and he insisted: "That's what he said." ”
"Envoy Liu always mentions Shigong, in my opinion, he is thousands of miles away and doesn't know the situation here, he ......"
Liu Jie interrupted unhappily: "His knowledge, you and I can speculate, since he has arranged it like this, there must be his reason, the matter has been decided, and we will set off in two days." ”
Li Yi couldn't help but say, "If that's the case, can I play to the Emperor of the Upper Kingdom?" ”
Meaning, I'm going to sue, and you're treating me like this.
"Yes." Liu Jie nodded: "But after two days, you have to go." ”
Li Yi's face was miserable.
Originally, he said that he wanted Liu Jie to change his mind, but ...... Liu Jie looked very calm, if you like to make a small report, just make a small report, it doesn't matter, but how things should be done or how to do it.
Such a resolute attitude made Li Yi realize that he was in great trouble.
He returned to his residence in despair, where many nobles had been waiting for him for a long time, hoping for the outcome of the negotiations!
Li Yi shook his head at them with a pale face, and then wailed all over the field!
Each of them knew that without the protection of the Ming army, the act of crossing the border was almost equivalent to looking for death.
They...... But they all came with their wives and children.
finally thought that they had escaped a catastrophe, but who knew that what they would face next would be something even more terrifying.
"I will play the Ming Emperor, I am convinced that the Kingdom will never abandon us, the Ming Emperor's grace was Size, virtue was the four seas, this is the traitor in the Ming Dynasty, solid death, but also to expose them!"
Li Yi said angrily.
Since the beginning of the small school, the education of the imperial family has made Li Yi convinced that the Korean state is protected by the Ming Dynasty, and the Korean state has been the founding king Li Chenggui since the beginning of the great doctrine, and the great doctrine comes from the "Mencius Liang Hui Wang", the so-called big things are small, and the happy ones are also; Those who are big in small things are also afraid of the sky. Those who are optimistic protect the world, and those who fear the sky protect their country. The core idea is that fear of the majesty of the heavens is the only way to be stable.
In order to prevent the emergence of arrogant people in the country, as a vassal state, not only the imperial family advocated the doctrine of great things, but also studied a large number of books and five classics and promoted Chinese characters.
Therefore, Li Yicai thought that the Ming court would never treat them so cruelly to these foreign vassals who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of the fate they were going to face next, he was full of sorrow, but he also knew that they had no ability to choose independently at this time!
He was more resentful in his heart, even if he had no choice and was about to go back to death with Liu Jie in the court, he would expose Liu Jie's master.
With tragedy, everyone said: "We are willing to play with you, even if we die, we must not leave regrets." ”
Li Yi's eyes were full of tears, in his big tent, many people crowded in, he was surrounded in the middle, took a dagger, cut his little finger, red blood, dripping down!
Li Yi said: "There is a tyrant in our country, according to etiquette, the kingdom should protect our loyal vassal ministers, but now because there are traitors in the court, we want to send us to death in vain, I Li Yi has no way to live, death is death, I only hope that this traitor will be exposed to the sun, there is nothing to hide." ”
As he spoke, he began to revise the book with his bloody fingers angrily: "Li Yi, the king of Jincheng of the Korean Dynasty, said ......"
…………
Liu Jie ignored the anger of the Korean nobles and scholars, and did not even stop them.
The order he received was to take these remnants under the escort of a small army of horses and enter the court immediately!
So countless reports were sent directly to Daming Honglu Temple, and at this time, Liu Jie had already set off with people.
They crossed the border river and began to move south.
What happened in Korea was known to all the northern counties.
But Liu Jie is still the identity of the envoy of the kingdom, and the governors of the counties are all terrified, but they have not yet done anything to Liu Jie.
On the one hand, he could only send a fast horse to report to Seoul, and on the other hand, he served wine and food to Liu Jie, who was passing through here, and gave him a gift out of the country.
And Liu Jie traveled all the way south, and after arriving not far from Seoul, a bad news has come.
After Li Long learned of this, he ordered Yongcheng Xiyan, the deputy secretary of the Zhongshu Prefecture, to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to intercept and kill Liu Jie's team, and issued a reward, who can take Liu Jie's head, a reward of 10,000 gold.
Li Long...... He's a madman.
is so blatant to kill Liu Jie, which is almost equivalent to completely cutting off his own room for turning.
Liu Jie's team, with no more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, followed only the refugees who fled at the beginning, with their families, women and children, nobles and scholars, all of them weak!
It was completely expected that as soon as the Korean army arrived, the time of death would also come.
When Liu Jie faced Li Yi's questioning, his attitude was very resolute, but in fact, Liu Jie was also a little scared!
Although Shigong's letter said, don't be afraid, you are the envoy of the Ming Dynasty and the son of Liu Jian, the first assistant university scholar of the cabinet, Li Long does not dare to do anything to you.
But...... Life is always a slap in the face.
Since Li Long has issued the royal edict, he is bound to practice what he says.
Liu Jie thought of the various deeds of Li Long who had been followed by him about how Li Long used torture instruments to punish the enemy, and Liu Jie could feel that every inch of his skin and every pore had exploded.
…………
In Seoul, the military horses are about to go on the march.
Cheng Xiyan, who got the order, found the official Cao Judgment Liu Shunting and the central government minister Park Yuanzong.
They were all anxious, what Li Long did, in their opinion, defeat was only a matter of time.
But in order to protect Mingzhe, they are still attached to Li Long, and in front of Li Long, they look loyal.
Li Long's flattery to them naturally relieved him and let them lead the horses.
Originally, they thought that they could lie dormant and wait for Li Long to become more and more unpopular, and finally rebel.
Can ...... now
The Ming Dynasty is going to completely cut off their back road.
Li Long actually wanted to kill Liu Jie, and killing Liu Jie was tantamount to completely turning against the Ming Dynasty, and there was no room for maneuver.
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Shunting, the official Cao's judge, Pu Yuanzong, the governor of the central government, and Cheng Xiyan, who was about to lead troops to fight against Liu Jie, began to feel uneasy.
Cheng Xiyan said: "If I lead the troops to kill Liu Jie, I can satisfy the king, but once Li Long is defeated, we will definitely die, this is a heinous crime, not something I can bear alone." ”
"Now people are panicking...... What to do? ”
"Let's do it, we can't wait any longer." Liu Shunting, the official of Cao's judgment, had a gloomy face, but he made up his mind and said: "Wait any longer, once there is any accident in Shangguoqin, we will not be able to escape the blame, even if we rebel in the future, this stain will not be washed away." ”
These words were like giving the heart of the Lord, and the other two responded without hesitation: "Okay! ”
………………
On that day, Seoul was in turmoil.
Countless troops killed their relatives Shen Shouqin and Ren Shihong, and then surrounded Changdeok Palace, dispersed the palace guards, and surrounded the palace where Li Long was located.
And all this came too quickly, and Liu Shunting and the others, who successfully succeeded, did not have the slightest joy.
Because this rebellion was the result of their long-term planning, and all the details of the rebellion had been scrutinized countless times.
But now...... This result came too early, it was originally a rebellion led by them, but now it has made them pawns, and in the eyes of everyone, this is the credit of Liu Jie and Jin Chengjun who went south.
And they are more like a group of Li Longyuns who are afraid of being attacked by the Ming Dynasty, and they have to fight anyway, everything is just succumbing and fearing the majesty of the kingdom.
For example, in their plan, at this time, they should issue an order in the name of the queen mother, that is, the concubine Cishun, ordering Li Long to hand over the king's golden seal and depose him from the throne.
But now, they are standing still, and can only wait patiently, waiting for the arrival of the envoy of the Celestial Empire and Li Yi, the king of Jincheng who bravely went south, because only they can give orders to deal with Li Long.
The outcome of this rebellion was very dissatisfying to them.
But...... They had no other choice.
At the same time, they sent officials and soldiers to the north to meet the envoys of Shangguo and the king of Jincheng, who were about to go south.
The whole of Seoul is waiting for the arrival of these two big shots.
