Gyeongbokgung Palace.

"Your Highness, it's not good, the rebels have entered the city and are attacking the palace."

When Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were having supper, an attendant hurriedly rushed into Li Hui's bedroom to report, at this time Li Hui had fallen asleep and was awakened by the shouting and killing outside the palace, so he sent someone to check.

"Rebels?"

Li Hui was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his face changed greatly, he remembered Zheng Renhong's report last night about Jin Yuan, Li Gui and others rebelling, so he hurriedly asked, "Where are the rebels?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, I heard from the guards in the palace, they looked out from the city wall, and there are people in the rebel army wearing the uniforms of the training capital."

The chamberlain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the rebels are menacing, do you want to leave the palace for refuge." ”

"Evacuate from the palace?" Li Hui's brows furrowed slightly, he never thought that he would be forced to leave Gyeongbokgung Palace.

"Your Royal Highness, the rebels will never dare to attack the guest house where the Ming mission is located, or the barracks where the Ming army is stationed, do you want to take refuge in these two places temporarily." The chamberlain hurriedly explained.

At this moment, Li Hui once again fell into a life-and-death choice, his correct choice was to leave immediately, and go to the guest house or the barracks where the Ming army was located while the rebels outside had not yet surrounded Gyeongbokgung Palace, only in this way would he be the safest.

"No, you can think of this, and the rebels can also think of it, maybe they have already set up an ambush on the road, so it is better to wait in the palace for help."

Unfortunately, as Li Hongyu had predicted earlier, Li Hui once again misjudged the situation, and after weighing left and right, he chose to stay in Gyeongbokgung Palace and wait for reinforcements, believing that the loyal officers and troops of Seoul were on their way to the rescue.

What Li Hui didn't know was that the choice he made just now made him lose his last chance to escape, and if he carefully recalled Zheng Renhong's report, it would not be difficult to see that the number of rebels was not large, only more than 1,000 people from Li Gui and Li Shu and more than 2,000 people from the training capital prison.

Therefore, the rebels simply did not have enough troops to set up an ambush on the road in order to attack Gyeongbokgung Palace with all their might, so it was the best choice to flee before the rebels surrounded Gyeongbokgung Palace.

In fact, Li Liang and Li Xingli, who led the army to attack Gyeongbokgung Palace at this time, were also worried that Li Hui had escaped, but they had to concentrate their forces to attack one place due to insufficient troops.

Just when Li Liang and Li Xingli's men were fighting fiercely with the guards guarding Gyeongbokgung Palace, Jin Yuan led reinforcements to arrive, and after the two sides joined forces, they immediately surrounded Gyeongbokgung Palace, and then strengthened the offensive against the city gate.

At this moment, the guards in Gyeongbokgung Palace panicked, and they never expected the rebels' reinforcements to arrive first, so their morale was seriously affected.

This made the rebels under the command of Li Gui and others quickly break through the city gate, and led the rebels to rush to Li Hui's dormitory with a shout.

Li Liang had already given a death order before tonight's operation, not to harm Li Hui and his son Li Zhen, and if anyone dared to violate it, there would be no forgiveness.

This strict order means that Li Ju is very clear about his current situation, in the final analysis, Li Hui is the king of Joseon, Li Ju is the son of Joseon, his behavior is a rebellion, once Li Hui and Li Ju are killed, they will not be able to explain to the Ming Dynasty, and everything will be over at that time.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, your Highness, something is wrong, the rebels have broken through the city gates and are coming to the dormitory."

When Li Hui was anxiously waiting for reinforcements to come to the rescue in the dormitory, an attendant rushed in in a hurry, panting and reporting, looking very frightened.

"Your Highness, get out of here, or the rebels will come in a moment." Hearing this, the deceased who was standing next to Li Hui hurriedly said.

"Go to the backyard." Li Hui's face changed, and then he walked towards the palace gate, and now he had to flee or he would be caught by those rebels.

Several chamberlains then followed Li Hui and went straight to the backyard of Gyeongbokgung Palace, while the rest of the chamberlains and palace maids scattered in a hurry after they left, running in all directions to avoid the attacks of the rebels.

It didn't take long for Jin Yuan to lead people into the dormitory, and seeing that the dormitory was empty, he knew that Li Hui had escaped, so he ordered his men to search everywhere.

Li Ju and the others then came to the dormitory, anxiously waiting for the results of the search, if Li Hui was allowed to escape, their efforts tonight would be in vain.

"Yu Ayayang-kun, I caught His Royal Highness, and he hid in a cave in the rockery in the backyard." Just when Li Qi and the others were feeling anxious, a soldier came to report in a hurry.

"What about the son?" Li Qi and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and then Li Qi asked in a deep voice, if Li Qi escaped and summoned the army of Hancheng to counterattack, then they would be defeated.

"Ayayang-kun, according to the person who asked to arrest the prince, the prince escaped after the palace was besieged, and now I don't know where he went."

The soldier who came to report the news said in a deep voice, "Lord Li Gui has arranged for someone to track down the whereabouts of the prince. ”

"Ran away?" Li Qi's brows suddenly furrowed, he didn't expect Li Qi to escape as soon as possible, this is a scourge.

"Ayayang-kun, now that His Royal Highness is in our hands, even if the prince escapes, there is nothing he can do about the current situation, presumably those generals who command the army will make the right choice."

Seeing this, Cui Mingji stepped forward with a smile and comforted him, Li Hui is a very strong king, which makes Li Hui suppressed and has no sense of presence in the court, so it is difficult to gather an army to fight.

Besides, Li Hui is now in their hands, and he can just "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes", so that the civil and military officials in Seoul will not dare to act rashly.

"Ayayo-kun, it's you!" While speaking, Li Hui, who looked a little embarrassed, was brought in, and when he saw Li Qi among the people at the scene, he was taken aback, he never expected that Li Qi would betray him.

"Your Royal Highness, you should not betray the Ming Dynasty, the only way to do this for the sake of North Korea." Li Ju looked at Li Hui expressionlessly and said, there was a faint trace of guilt in his heart, to be honest, Li Hui was really good to him.

"Betraying the Ming?"

Li Hui was stunned when he heard this, and then couldn't help laughing, looked at Li Ju hatefully and said, "This reason is really good, Gu Zhen is blind and didn't see you clearly, and he actually put you by his side, so that he raised tigers!" ”

"Your Royal Highness, you don't care what the minister says now, the minister knows that you want to kill the minister now, but the minister is for the sake of the people and the future of North Korea, and he will definitely not regret it."

Li Ju naturally couldn't admit that he carried out the coup d'état for personal gain, so he looked at Li Hui seriously and said, "Daming will judge you so that you can get the punishment you deserve." ”

"Ayayang-kun, if you really want to be good for North Korea, get out of this battle between the Ming Dynasty and the barbarians, and wait and see what happens, otherwise you will harm North Korea."

Seeing that Li Ju moved out of North Korea to justify, Li Hui couldn't help but say to him in a loud voice, he didn't want North Korea to be involved in the war between Daming and Houjin, and no one in North Korea could afford to offend.

"Your Highness, if we study the book of sages, how can we do such an ungrateful thing, and what will be the face of North Korea when it spreads out in the future?"

Li Qi disagreed with Li Hui's point of view, and when he heard this, he opened his mouth to argue, "The barbarians are ferocious and greedy, and our approach to them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger, and in the end we will definitely harm North Korea, so we can only help the Ming Dynasty defeat the barbarians is the best policy." ”

"The Ming Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, and it is impossible to defeat the barbarians in Liaodong, once they are also defeated in Liaoxi, then we will fight the barbarians alone, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

When Li Hui heard this, he immediately showed a worried look on his face, and said to Li Ju with concern, secretly feeling anxious in his heart, he didn't want North Korea to fight hard with Houjin.

"As long as there is the Ming Dynasty, then North Korea will be safe, unless the barbarians defeat the Ming Dynasty, but at that time, our North Korea will also be finished."

Li Liang, who has been influenced by Chinese culture since childhood, naturally disagrees with Li Hui's selfish approach, thinking that getting too close to the barbarians is seeking the skin of the tiger, so he said to Li Hui in a deep voice, "Your Royal Highness, the Tao is not the same, the Ming Dynasty will give you the punishment you deserve, and you don't need to worry about the affairs of North Korea." ”

As he spoke, Li Ju waved his hand, and the rebels on the side took Li Hui out, Li Hui knew that he couldn't change Li Ju's mind, and a look of disappointment couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Ayayang-kun, the princess wants us to kill His Royal Highness and the prince, how should we deal with it?"

After Li Hui left, Cui Mingji, who was standing aside, couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, this is the only condition for Queen Renmu to assist Li Liang, to avenge the death of his father and good son.

"Concubine Wang is a sensible person, as long as we explain the reason to her, she will understand us."

Li Kun's brows furrowed, and then he said quietly, the life and death of Li Hui and Li Qi are in the hands of the Ming envoys, and he can't do anything about it.

If Li Hui was allowed to choose, he would naturally want to execute Li Hui, so that he would not have to worry about Li Hui making any trouble in the future, which would be a big threat to him.

After all, Li Hui is the canonized king of the Ming Dynasty, and he has been in power for more than ten years, so it is better to kill Li Hui, but it is a pity that he can't do this, otherwise he will lose the throne of the king of Joseon.

Since Li Hui had already been captured, Li Ju immediately evacuated Gyeongbokgung Palace with his people, Gyeongbokgung Palace was Li Hui's royal palace, and the officials and soldiers in the city who were loyal to Li Hui would definitely come to the rescue.

Li Liang's place is naturally Qingyun Palace, which is the bedroom of Queen Renmu, with Queen Renmu as his master, and he is now "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", so it is the safest place to go.

On the way to Gyeongyun Palace, Li Liang ordered the arrest of important members of the Gubei Party so that they would not gather to gather soldiers to fight back, and Zheng Inhong, Li Erzhan and Park Seungjong were naturally the focus of the arrest.

This means that the chaos in Seoul has officially begun, and this coup d'état has not only begun to affect the officials of the Gubei Party, but also the officials and people of Seoul.

Not only the soldiers of Seoul, but also the gangsters of Seoul and all kinds of people will take the opportunity to make a profit, which is unavoidable.

Now there are two safest places in Seoul, one is the State Guest House with many Ming army guards, and the other is the military camp where the Ming army is stationed.

If Li Hui had made the decision to flee there, the coup d'état tonight would not have succeeded, and this was his only viable option in the end.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, Li Hui made two wrong decisions in a row today, first ignoring Park Seungjong's report about Jin Yuan and Li Gui and others rebelling, and then choosing to stay when Li Ju led his troops to attack Gyeongbokgung Palace.

This made Li Hui have no room to turn over, and finally became a prisoner of the ranks, not only lost his freedom but also worried about his life, and it is very likely that he will be charged with colluding with Houjin and attempting to kill the Ming Mission placed by Li Lian, which will become a stain on his life.
