Chapter 62: The fog clears

Just as the Ming Dynasty was gradually declining, the neighboring country of the Japanese was entering a full-scale civil war.

And at this moment, there is an excellent news from North Korea, and this news will also bring great changes to the Ming Dynasty.

Because North Korea has won an unprecedented victory in the situation of allied forces with the Ming Dynasty.

And all the Japanese who invaded Korea were sent back to the Japanese mainland, so Korea, as a vassal state, was defeated in the war.

It is supposed to send an envoy to thank the Ming Dynasty, a great power in the upper state, and at this moment, as the future princess of Joseon, the daughter-in-law of Gwanghaejun (Zhu Tingting), the future princess of Joseon.

He took the initiative to ask His Royal Highness Xuanzu to return to China instead of the envoy to report on his work to His Majesty the Wanli Emperor.

And His Royal Highness Xuanzu at this moment is full of disagreement, because His Royal Highness Xuanzu at this moment also has the existence of (Zhu Tingting).

is very down-to-earth, after all, Princess Daming (Zhu Tingting) has also contributed a lot to North Korea.

Winning reinforcements for North Korea to come to the Ming Dynasty was only possible with the efforts of (Zhu Tingting).

So at this moment, Seonjo asked the ministers to debate in the court meeting, so the Korean courtiers gathered together to debate and quarrel.

Because there is no such precedent in the historical period from Joseon to Seonjo, and (Zhu Tingting's) strong request to replace the envoy was strongly opposed by Seonjo.

But the ministers took it for granted.

So at this moment, there was a great disagreement between the Korean courtiers and His Royal Highness Seonjo,

Perhaps His Royal Highness Xuanzu did not expect that the ministers at this moment would agree with (Zhu Tingting's) decision to return to the Ming Dynasty.

And there is a reason why the ministers are so supportive (Zhu Tingting), because (Zhu Tingting)'s husband is also the son of King Gwanghae.

After finding these ministers privately, they held secret talks with the ministers in exchange for their support on certain conditions.

At this time, the prince of the king, Gwanghae-kun, was the supreme king in the hearts of the ministers and the people of the entire Korean country.

And His Royal Highness Seonjo is no longer like the king he used to be, and he can give orders at will.

Because all Koreans think that they can abandon the king of the people at will, then the people can also abandon such a king and not be the lord of His Highness.

So in this case, the prince of Joseon, Gwanghae-kun, finally explained to the ministers who opposed Yoo Sung-ryong (Cho Kun).

decided to send Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) to accompany (Zhu Tingting) and his party to Daming,

In this way, these ministers decided important things when Yoo Chenglong (Zhao Kun) was away.

Therefore, in this context, His Royal Highness Seonjo asked about the final result at the Korean court meeting.

So the ministers agreed in unison, but at this moment, only Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) expressed fierce opposition.

But at this moment, what puzzled Seonjo was why the ministers had been agreeing to (Zhu Tingting)'s proposal at this moment,

And why should Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) oppose it?

Anyway, everything that Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) opposes, His Royal Highness Xuanzu will vigorously support.

So under the announcement of His Royal Highness Seonjo,

(Zhu Tingting) and his entourage will be accompanied by Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) and the chief of the royal guard (Wang Zhiguo).

Follow those Ming officials and soldiers back to the Ming Dynasty,

Immediately afterwards, when Yang Lin, the commander of the Ming official army, was about to return to the Ming Dynasty with his troops.

His Royal Highness King Seonjo of Joseon hosted a banquet for Yang Lin and the ministers in the palace.

There are also (Zhu Tingting) and Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) who are about to return to Daming.

And at the banquet, he watched the unique folk dance danced by the Korean palace maids.

Then His Royal Highness Xuanzu handed over the national letter he wrote to Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun).

Let Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) after arriving in the Ming Dynasty, he handed over this letter to His Majesty the wise Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty.

And the day after the banquet, His Royal Highness Xuanzu personally walked out of the capital for ten miles to see off the Ming officials and soldiers and (Zhu Tingting) and his party.

On this farewell road, there are countless North Korean people, shouting the slogan of long live and kneeling on both sides of the road.

So under the farewell of His Royal Highness Seonjo of North Korea and the kind Korean people,

The Daming official army and the Daming princess (Zhu Tingting) and his party embarked on a journey back to Daming.

And in view of the sudden and drastic changes in the Liaodong region of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen tribe had established the Jin State in the area that originally belonged to the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, at this moment, the land tribute road has been completely cut off by the Jurchens, and if you want to return to Daming from Korea, if you don't want to start a war.

If you want to avoid war losses, it is better to take the sea route.

The sea route departed from Icheon Province in Korea and went to sea by boat, and after reaching the Korean islands, it arrived at Dengju.

Then change to a land route from Dengzhou,

Starting from the land of Dengzhou, it passes through Huangxian, Laizhou, Yexian, Changle, Qingzhou, Changshan, Zhangqiu, and Jinan.

Finally, it passed through Hejian, Renqiu, Xiongxian, Liangxiang and other prefectures and counties, and then arrived at the north of the capital and entered the city through Chaoyang Gate.

The total distance through this tribute road is 3,760 miles by water and 1,900 miles by land, which is a long distance and extremely risky compared to the previous land route.

But no matter how big the risk is, it is not as threatening as the Jurchens in Liaodong.

So at this moment, (Zhu Tingting) and his party returned to the north of the Ming capital after Zhili with the Ming official army.

His Majesty the Wanli Emperor personally went to Chaoyangmen to greet Yang Lin, the commander of the Ming official army who returned to Beijing.

There is also the daughter (Zhu Tingting) that His Majesty the Wanli Emperor has been thinking about.

At this moment, Yang Lin has also led the Ming official army to escort (Zhu Tingting) and returned to the north of the Ming capital.

Then His Majesty the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty entertained the imperial banquet in the palace to invite Yang Lin and his party.

At this moment, Li Rusong (Li Jiwei), who was the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, was also urgently recalled by His Majesty the Wanli Emperor.

Come and discuss the situation in Liaodong with the adults of the military department, and how to carry out a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of the Jurchens in Liaodong in the future.

So at this moment, General Li Rusong (Li Jiwei) was also summoned to participate in the imperial banquet.

In the imperial banquet, Li Rusong (Li Jiwei) also discussed with Yang Lin, who came back from North Korea, about countermeasures to deal with the Jurchens.

And at this moment, in the imperial banquet, Emperor Wanli has not seen (Zhu Tingting) Princess for a long time,

So I want (Zhu Tingting) Princess Daming to dance a North Korean dance in the royal banquet to cheer everyone up.

So at this moment, Princess Daming (Zhu Tingting) is in the palace of the banquet,

A beautiful dance was danced for everyone, and then General Li Rusong (Li Jiwei) sat next to the emperor.

began to tell His Majesty the Wanli Emperor about the past on the battlefield,

And the ministers sitting next to them also listened carefully to the story of the general's situation on the battlefield.

And at this moment in the main hall with the sound of beautiful music,

The beautiful Daming princess (Zhu Tingting) is dancing in the palace with those beautiful palace maids to the sound of music.

At this moment, Princess Daming (Zhu Tingting) danced her own dance with the sound of music,

looked at the general Li Rusong (Li Jiwei) beside his father from afar.

In fact, just a long time ago, I had a deep love for the general in front of me who even trusted and pitied my father.

And at this moment, General Li Rusong (Li Jiwei) also deeply understands the princess (Zhu Tingting).

But in the court at this moment, they can't really have each other.

Moreover, because of the hierarchical court system, they are close at hand, but far away.

can only hide their love for each other deep in their hearts, and the general Li Rusong (Li Jiwei) can only talk and laugh with His Majesty the Wanli Emperor.

turned his gaze to the beautiful princess (Zhu Tingting) who was dancing in the palace,

Looking at the princess's affectionate eyes, the general Li Rusong (Li Jiwei) at this moment felt a trace of happiness.

And in the Ming princess Zhu Mingxuan and Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun), Li Shanhai (Bi Chao) and a few other people,

Appears after the palace of Zhili in the north of the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The fog from the dream also gradually dissipated, and when the fog dissipated, this group of eight people will eventually wake up in the Ming Wanli period.
