While His Royal Highness Seonjo and the Eastern and Western courtiers were trying to establish relations with the country of the Japanese or not, the coastal area of Jeolla Province in Korea was attacked by pirates from Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of the Japanese Empire.

As a result, the people along the coast of Jeolla Province were killed and injured injurely, which further increased the resentment of the Korean people and ministers against the Japanese country.

At the same time, there was a natural disaster in North Korea that no one could have predicted, that is, the outbreak of smallpox in Pyongan Province.

As a Westerner, Yin Doo-su, the observation of the peace of the road, was summoned by His Royal Highness Seonjo of Joseon because of his meritorious service in the treatment of smallpox.

At this moment, Yoon Doo-su is also a famous minister who assists His Royal Highness Seonjo, and when he meets with His Royal Highness Seonjo of North Korea, the two keep recalling the past.

And the once interesting past made the two laugh heartily, and His Royal Highness Seonjo leaked a long-lost smile.

This was also a smile that was rare for His Royal Highness Seonjo to have in that historical period, but in the originally cheerful atmosphere, he heard the discussion of the ministers of the East.

The Dongjin ministers discussed topics that His Royal Highness Seonjo had ordered not to be discussed, and the topic was whether or not diplomatic relations should be established with the country of the Japanese invaders.

At this moment, Yin Doo-shou, as a Westerner, believes that if he really wants to resume the establishment of foreign trade and trade relations with the Japanese Invaders, the country of birds and beasts, then the Ming Dynasty, as a great power in Shangbang, will definitely think that the Japanese Invaders and North Korea have an ulterior secret.

The Japanese must have colluded with the vassal state of Korea, so the status and influence of the Ming Dynasty will be challenged like never before.

And as a Westerner's observation of the safe road, Yin Doushou's worries at the moment are not unreasonable, and it is also just as Yin Doushou cares and worries about His Majesty the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

At first, I really thought that there was some secret agreement between the two countries of Korea and the Japanese Invaders, and they were ready to jointly attack the Ming Dynasty, which was a great power at that time.

So at this moment, although Yin Doushou, as a westerner's observation of the peace of the road, also has a unique insight and reason.

However, at this moment, the easterners were in control of the government, but they did not take into account Yin Doo-shou's suggestions and opinions, and still went their own way to ask His Royal Highness Seonjo of Korea to meet with the Japanese to make Ping Yizhi and his party.

At this moment, the ministers of the Westerners, including the Korean nationals, and His Royal Highness Seonjo did not have a good impression of the country of beasts.

After all, the pirates burned, killed, looted, and plundered all the coastal cities of Korea all the year round, and committed all kinds of heinous and cruel incidents, which also caused great harm to the Korean people.

There was also a fierce debate between the DPRK and the opposition on whether to send a communications mission or not.

At this moment, North Korea is once again in a dilemma, because once it establishes foreign trade relations with the country of the Japanese invaders.

It is necessary to send correspondence envoys to their respective countries to report on their duties, and without the consent of the Ming Dynasty, the great power of the upper state, to establish relations with the Ming Dynasty, which is called the country of beasts.

That is, the Ming Dynasty had a head-on confrontation in history, which was a fatal blow to the small state of North Korea.

And at the same time as the ministers were arguing with each other, Zheng Che, who was the leader of the Westerners.

An unprecedented campaign was launched among the Korean people, and Chung Cheol, who was born in the West, hoped to use the power of the people to force His Royal Highness Seonjo of Korea to abandon his intention to send a communications mission.

Thus began a campaign against the Westerners of the East, and Zheng Cheol instructed the Confucian scholars of the people to represent the Korean people in the Joseon court.

The people of Korea are also talking and opposing it, and at this moment, the Dongjin faction is asking for the dispatch of a communication mission to restore diplomatic relations with the country of the Japanese invaders.

On the other hand, the Dongjin, who held the power of the Joseon court, continued the request of the Dongjin ministers to send a communication mission to His Royal Highness Seonjo of Joseon without the support of public opinion.

At this moment, the Westerners obviously have the support of public opinion, because the Westerner Zheng Che mobilized the power of the people to oppose it.

At this time, Lord Yoo Sung-ryong was really well-intentioned, so after weighing the pros and cons, His Royal Highness Seonjo of Joseon was finally forced to approve the proposal of the Dongjin ministers.

summoned the delegation of Ping Yizhi who came to meet His Royal Highness Xuanzu, and Ping Yizhi's pale words have always revealed the cunning and hypocrisy of the Wako themselves.

His Royal Highness Seonjo, who was very intelligent, was in no hurry to expose Hei Yiji's lies, but in this duel of wits and courage, it was His Royal Highness Seonjo who won the initial victory.

The condition for victory was that Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of the Wako state, agree to hand over the leader of the Wako and the rest of the pirates who had invaded Korea, and to demand that the Wako stop invading the coastal cities of Korea and hand over the captured Korean civilians.

And this condition also made the easterners see the last hope, and even Seonjo and those westerners became speechless.

Therefore, in this era of turbulent history, the Joseon court, which has not yet decided whether to send a communication mission, has not yet decided.

First of all, it will be up to the Japanese of the country of beasts to fulfill the conditions of their agreement to Korea, and if the Japanese lord agrees to the demands of Korea at this moment, it is possible to restore diplomatic relations and send a communication mission to each other.

At this time, another unexpected incident occurred, and Zheng Che, the leader of the Westerners, wanted to use the armed forces of the people to launch a mutiny.

On Takeshima Island in Jeolla Province, there was a gathering of about 500 troops by Zheng Ruli, who was attached to the Westerners at this moment, and the incident in which the Westerners wanted to use Zheng Ruli to force the palace was quickly passed on to the ears of the Dongren faction.

At this moment, Zheng Ruli, who was originally a member of the Westerners, decided to abandon the darkness and join the camp of the Easterners after thinking about it for a long time.

So when Zheng Ruli betrayed the Westerner faction, the Westerner ministers wanted to take revenge for Zheng Ruli's betrayal as soon as possible.

At this moment, His Royal Highness Seonjo, the lord of Joseon, received a secret report from the ministers of the Westerners, which showed that Jeong Ru-ri, as an easterner, was about to rebel.

After this, His Royal Highness Seonjo of Joseon convened a heated debate overnight, bringing together the representatives and ministers of the East and West to discuss Chung Ru-ri.

And just after discovering the rebellion of Zheng Ruli of the Dongren faction, in October 1589 it was less than twenty days after the pleadings of Zheng Ruli were announced.

Zheng Ruli, who was an easterner on Takeshima, where he trained soldiers, chose to commit suicide silently for the sake of the easterner and Takeshima.

After Zheng Ruli committed suicide, he also arrested some people who supported Zheng Ruli and tortured them to announce the end of Zheng Ruli's rebellion.

At this moment, the Confucian scholars who were instructed by Zheng Cheol continued to play in the Joseon court, which also ignited the anger in the heart of His Royal Highness Seonjo.

At this moment, the offensive launched by the Westerners against the power of the Easterners also began a new historical beginning.

And the ministers who were the easterners were more or less gradually implicated by the traitor Zheng Ruli, and even Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun), who was the master of the Bing Cao Judgment, was not spared.

And those ministers who had discussed state affairs with Lord Liu Chenglong (Zhao Kun) were all arrested by Zheng Che, who was the leader of the Westerners.

Because at this moment, His Royal Highness Seonjo of Joseon has given full authority to Zheng Che to manage the rebellion of the Dongren.

And in the severe torture, these Dongren ministers and officials were forced to admit that they had a rebellious relationship with Zheng Ruli before dealing with it.

And this incident was also planned by the Westerner Zheng Che, who wanted to completely eliminate all the strength of the Easterners and the sphere of influence in the Korean court.

In the face of the party struggle between the East and the West, His Royal Highness Seonjo, as the lord of North Korea, was very helpless to intervene.

Seeing that his ministers were constantly fighting for each other's rights, it was really painful that Seonjo of Joseon had no choice but to accept the fact that Jeong Cheol had submitted it.
