In April, Seoul is already green, the willow trees in the city have pulled out their buds, the breeze blows, the willow branches blow on the bodies and faces of passers-by, bringing a breath of spring, so pedestrians are generally not annoyed, but gently brush it away, except for naughty naughty children, few people are willing to hurt these spring messengers. Not far away, the Han River has clear water, and occasionally a few golden carp can be seen swimming around, if a pedestrian drops a stone, they immediately scatter like frightened rabbits, but after a while, they will gather again and swim happily in the beautiful Han River. Walking on the banks of the Han River, the breeze brings the water vapor of the Han River, making people feel extremely comfortable and relaxed, as if they are in a fairyland.

This was the first feeling that Wang Liang had about Seoul, and he was originally an envoy to Zhejiang, but this time he was transferred to the newly established Department of Political Envoys of the DPRK as an envoy, and he had a feeling of being sent out of the country, but the first feeling that the DPRK gave him was quite good.

The first thing Wang Liang did when he arrived in Seoul was to read out the holy decree, but when he finished reading the holy decree, the first to thank him was the new capital secretary Qu Neng, and the new political envoy Zhang Zhen did not react in time, it seemed that the content of the holy decree was unexpected, so it was half a beat behind Qu Neng, and many North Korean officials, the movement was even slower, it seemed that the shock could not work, after Zhang Zhen and Huang Fu thanked him, the Xie En who was sparsely scattered, and even some people were just making a appearance, and their mouths did not move.

Wang Liang took everything in his eyes, but did not speak, he was the new envoy, and these acts of disrespecting the holy decree would sooner or later be reckoned with.

After Wang Liang announced the decree, he immediately said goodbye to Zhang Zhen and others, and refused to be retained by Zhang Zhen and others, because he still had to rush to Jeolla Province to announce the decree to Sheng Yong, and now the situation in North Korea has changed greatly, and it is necessary to let the North Korean commander Sheng Yong know the situation as soon as possible. It's just that for the sake of safety, Wang Liang needs to continue to take a boat along the coastline to the south, and now there are more rebel troops south of Seoul, and if you want to pass, you must be escorted by a large group of people and horses, but by taking a navy ship, safety can be guaranteed.

After Wang Liang left, Qu Neng also immediately said goodbye to Zhang Zhen, as the new commander of the capital, he needed to pay attention to many things, not only to lead the troops south to quell the rebellion, but also to set up a guard, the military situation was like fire, and there was no delay.

After saying goodbye to Qu Neng, Zhang Zhen looked back at Huang Fu, Cheng Shixuan, Jin Quan, Quan Zhun and others, stroked the beard on his chin, and said with a smile: "Everyone, Your Majesty has made a holy decree, the Korean State has become history, the Korean political envoy has been established, and you are already the direct subjects of my Ming Emperor. ”

Zhang Zhen's words fell, Cheng Shixuan and the others opened their mouths, but in the end no one spoke, and then Cheng Shixuan took the lead and knelt on the ground: "The ministers obey Your Majesty's will!" Willing to serve the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Very good, very good," Zhang Zhen smiled slightly, raised his hand and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please get up, we will all be colleagues in the future, so we don't have to be so angry." In addition, the new political envoy department is set up, and everything is busy, so I hope you will help a lot! ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Cheng Shixuan and others hurriedly agreed.

"Tomorrow, this official will wait for you in the House of Representatives, and when the time comes, the new appointments and the organizational structure of the Political Envoy will be announced, do you understand?"

"Yes, Xia Guan understands!"

"Okay, let's go back first!" Zhang Zhen waved his hand: "By the way, Lord Huang stays!" ”

Huang Fu seemed to be prepared, bowed down and said, "Yes!" ”

......

After everyone left, Zhang Zhen turned his head and walked towards the Han River wharf not far away, Huang Fu hurriedly followed, behind him was Qu Yu, who was responsible for protecting Zhang Zhen's safety, because Li Fanggan was dead and the Korean state was abolished, so Qu Yu's main function became to ensure the safety of the political envoys.

"Ruxi, the old man seems to have stopped talking just now, but what do you have to say?" Zhang Zhen gently patted the railing of the pier and said in a deep voice.

"This," Huang Fu touched his hat with his hand, and said with some embarrassment: "My lord, Xia Guan was just a little surprised, I didn't expect His Majesty to make such a will, isn't this a confirmation that we murdered the Marquis of Joseon?" ”

"Hehe," Zhang Zhen turned his head and looked at Huang Fu with a smile: "Then what do you think Your Majesty should do?" ”

"Xia Guan didn't think about it either," Huang Fu looked at the Han River with some melancholy, and sighed slightly: "Li Fangyuan is malicious with his intentions, and we can't argue!" ”

"Yes, since it's hard to tell, then simply don't tell it. It's been more than half a year since I've been in North Korea, and Ruxi won't still understand His Majesty's thoughts! ”

"But," Huang Fu hesitated, approached Zhang Zhen, and said in a low voice: "My lord, in fact, North Korea is still quite deferential, but His Majesty intends to force it to rebel, it seems that something is not good, and the lower officials always feel it, always feel ......."

"I always feel that Your Majesty's actions are a little not bright enough, right?" A strange smile appeared on Zhang Zhen's face, and he said suddenly.

"No, no, Xia Guan didn't think so!" Huang Fu was taken aback by Zhang Zhen's words, and quickly waved his hand and denied it repeatedly.

"Ruxi," Zhang Zhen patted the stone bench beside him: "Come, sit down, for a period of time, the old man can feel the knot in your heart, so I specially have a good chat with you today!" ”

Huang Fu saw Zhang Zhen sit down without hesitation, completely ignoring the water stains and dust on the stone bench, he had no choice but to sit down, straighten his waist, and look at Zhang Zhen fixedly.

Zhang Zhen didn't pay attention to Huang Fu, but turned back and explained a few words to his entourage, and the entourage took the order, not for long, the entourage pushed over a small cart, and the entourage spread a tablecloth on the stone table, and then put a few side dishes and a pot of wine on the table.

"The old man asked him to get some side dishes and wine," Zhang Zhen took the wine jug and poured a glass for Huang Fu, Huang Fu hurriedly got up to stop it, but was stopped by Zhang Zhen: "It's okay, it's just a trivial matter!" Saying this, he poured himself another cup: "Come, toast with the old man first!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Zhang Zhen drank it all with a "zi", then put down the wine glass, and the entourage hurriedly filled it, and then Zhang Zhen waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat.

"Ruxi," Zhang Zhen stared at Huang Fu and said with a smile: "Do you think North Korea should set up a political envoy?" ”

"Should!" Huang Fu thought for a long time, and finally said categorically.

"Why?" This time it was Zhang Zhen's turn to be surprised, he didn't expect Huang Fu to answer like this.

"After the assassination of Joseon, Xiaguan has been thinking about how the imperial court will respond, in fact, the imperial court has only two choices, one is to withdraw from North Korea, and the other is to simply abolish the Korean state, but after thinking about it for a long time, Xiaguan thought that the imperial court would abolish the Korean state!"

"Oh? Did you guess that? ”

Seeing Zhang Zhen's surprised eyes, Huang Fu was also a little proud: "North Korea is actually a very important part of Your Majesty's strategy, since Your Majesty succeeded to the throne, he is most concerned about only two things, one is Mongolia, the other is to open the sea, if the former is not solved, the northern border will inevitably be stationed with heavy troops, then Your Majesty will have to move the capital to Beijing, control the elite army nearby, and remove the threat of Mongolia, Your Majesty did not choose to attack Mobei This strategy, but adopted the strategy of opening up the northeast and attacking Mongolia, This strategy is much more effective than the army attacking Mobei and thundering the caves, but,"

Speaking of this, Huang Fu picked up a peanut with chopsticks, stuffed it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and then said: "But the successful development of the Northeast is not only a threat to Mongolia, but also to North Korea. ”

"Therefore, before His Majesty opened up the northeast, he sent people to North Korea to ask for the restoration of the border of the former dynasty."

"Here, Xia Guan has to admire His Majesty's foresight, the most important thing to subdue Korea is the navy, if you attack Korea by land, it is almost impossible, from Liaodong to Hancheng in North Korea, after Shenyang, it is almost deserted, the army is fighting, and the supply is very difficult, which is also the reason why the borders between the Chinese dynasties and Korea after the Han Dynasty stopped at Cibeiling."

"Now I am facing the question of whether to give up North Korea, and the answer is yes, we can't give up, otherwise the Mongolian issue and the Northeast issue will not be solved."

"And for the opening of the sea, the biggest threat is the Japanese Invaders, and the roots of the Japanese Invaders are in the Japanese State, for my Ming Dynasty, relying on the Japanese State to eradicate the Japanese Invaders, it is not realistic and dangerous, if the Japanese State tastes the sweetness, the whole country attacks, the good situation of opening the sea will no longer exist, the best way is to have a strong navy, so that the Japanese State does not dare to have ideas, but Xia Guan feels that it is okay to do this step, and has not yet figured out why to attack the Japanese State!"

Huang Fu's words made Zhang Zhen nod his head continuously, and when he finished speaking, Zhang Zhen twisted his beard and smiled: "Ruxi, you think very thoroughly, so why do you want to stop talking?" ”

"Hehe," Huang Fu was a little embarrassed when he received Zhang Zhen's praise, but he quickly calmed down and said, "My lord, Xia Guan has doubts about three things!" ”

"Tell me about it!"

"First, the DPRK is not guilty, is it not justified to send troops to attack it? Second, North Korea has been established for a long time, almost comparable to my Huaxia, as far as the time when King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, can it successfully become a citizen of our Celestial Dynasty without resisting? Third, the people of North Korea do not understand the Chinese language of our country, and there are not so many officials in our country who are fluent in the Korean language, will there be problems in governance? If North Koreans are appointed to govern the people, once there is a change, I am afraid that North Korea will not be owned by China? ”

"The old man understands, Ruxi, you are not against the annexation of North Korea, but you still have doubts about whether you can do it? Isn't it? ”

"Yes, I hope you will solve your doubts!"
