Chapter 666: At Stake
State Guest House.
"Brother Li, Li Liang's matter has been revealed, it seems that God is not on his side this time."
The matter of the robbery hall and Park Chengzong's mansion soon spread to Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, and when he learned that Li Er's pardon had sued Li Liang and others for rebellion tonight, Zhao Xin couldn't help but say to Li Hongyu with some regret, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In fact, the success of this coup d'état has little impact on Li Hongyu's policy towards North Korea, and in any case, the civilian clique in North Korea advocates resisting Houjin, but Li Hongyu needs to spend some energy and time to revise the power structure of North Korean officialdom.
The biggest benefit of the success of Li Yun's rebellion for Li Hongyu was to break the old pattern of North Korean officialdom, and then take advantage of the reorganization of North Korean officialdom to promote a series of reform measures, so that North Korea's economy and politics will move towards stability, and only a stable North Korea can hold the defense line of the Yalu River, which will then put pressure on Houjin.
Zhao Xin knew very well that Li Hongyu was dissatisfied with many of the policies implemented by the Joseon Kingdom, which were too rigid and unreasonable, and it would be difficult for North Korea to develop without reform, which would become a burden to the Ming Dynasty, and would not be able to confront the Later Jin.
Among them, the most dissatisfied point of Li Hongyu is the "mother law", although the implementation of this law seems to stabilize the interests of the aristocracy, but in the long run it is a great harm to the country and the aristocracy, restricting the development and progress of society.
Therefore, the first thing Li Hongyu wanted to abolish was the "mother law" of North Korea, breaking the class barriers of the Korean kingdom that were even more severe than those of the Ming Dynasty, so that those concubines and commoners could see the hope of progress, and only in this way would they vigorously promote the development of society.
Of course, the mother law of Korea began with the Goryeo Dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years, which can be said to be deeply rooted in Korea, and it is not easy for Li Hongyu to abolish it.
However, Li Liang gave Li Hongyu an excellent opportunity to abolish the "Mother Law", and after the coup d'état of Li Liang, it is bound to make the officialdom panic, who is still in the mood to care about the abolition of the "Mother Law".
If there are really those people who don't open their eyes to come up and send them to death, Li Hongyu doesn't mind fulfilling them, anyway, the excuse for Li Lian's coup d'état is that Li Hui colluded with Houjin, and it doesn't matter if there are a few more comrades.
As for Li Liang, he definitely hopes to be recognized by the Ming Dynasty afterwards, so he will definitely not refuse to abolish the "subordinate mother law", otherwise he will definitely not be able to ascend to the throne.
Moreover, the interests of the aristocracy were safeguarded by the mother law, and the power struggle between the aristocracy and the royal family in the Korean kingdom had never stopped, similar to the "vassal power" and "monarchical power" of the Ming Dynasty, and he naturally hoped to suppress the aristocracy.
The reason why Zhao Xin is happy is naturally because there is no need for a large-scale armed conflict in Seoul, and the swords and soldiers will be destroyed together.
"Li Xingli was sent back to the training camp by Park Seungjong, which shows that Park Seung-jong did not know that he had an affair with Li Liang, and if he did not change his mind, then tonight's battle was inevitable."
Li Hongyu knew Zhao Xin's thoughts, and after hearing this, he pondered for a while and said with a smile, "Since he agreed to Li Liang, it means that he has a lot of ambitions, and this kind of person will not give up easily." ”
Zhao Xin's expression suddenly darkened when she heard this, the reason why she was so sentimental was because it was the first time she had personally experienced this kind of thing that controlled other people's lives in her hands, although she had the ability to stop the upcoming fight, but she had to watch from the sidelines, this feeling was really uncomfortable for her, and she always felt that those who died in the conflict were caused by her.
"Brother Zhao, let's let Li Liang rebel not for our own benefit, but for the people of North Korea to live a stable and prosperous life in the future.
Li Hongyu saw that Zhao Xin's face became a little gloomy, so he smiled slightly and said, "If we stop this rebellion, then maybe more people will die in the future, so all we can do is make a choice and choose a better path for the future." ”
"What Brother Li said is very true."
Zhao Xin felt the helplessness in Li Hongyu's heart with a smile on his face, and she felt distressed when she thought that Li Hongyu had often faced such a choice before, she knew that Li Hongyu was comforting her, so she smiled and replied, not wanting Li Hongyu to worry about her anymore.
"Your Excellency, the soldiers and horses guarding the Imperial Hall have reinforced the gates of Seoul, and the former Jiangjie Mansion has sent Jin Yuan a training to report to the general Li Xingli, the general of the Metropolitan Prison, and the people of the Capture and Robbery Hall have led the people involved in the rebellion to leave before they rushed to his house, and our people are worried that they will not follow them, and now their whereabouts are unknown."
At this time, a guard entered the door and reported in a deep voice that the people sent by Li Hongyu were secretly paying close attention to the situation in Seoul, so every move of Seoul was controlled by Li Hongyu.
"Brother Li, Li Xingli really hasn't changed his mind."
Zhao Xin couldn't help but shake his head helplessly when he heard this, so that this conflict at night would be unavoidable, and then said to Li Hongyu, "There are not many places where Jin Yuan and the others can hide, will they go to the treasury in the west of the city, where the rebels will gather tonight?" ”
"That's how it should be."
Li Hongyu agreed, and after a deep sigh, he looked up at the night sky outside the window, "Now that the matter has been revealed, it seems that they have to act in advance." ”
Zhao Xin also looked out the window, his expression was a little solemn, hoping that tonight's war would not affect the people too much.
Although Zhao Xin is as wise and knowledgeable as Li Hongyu, because she is a woman, she is very susceptible to emotional influence in dealing with problems, and she cannot be as decisive as Li Hongyu, in other words, she has the "benevolence of a woman", which is destined to make her unable to look down on life and death like Li Hongyu.
But then again, although Zhao Xin has the "benevolence of a woman", she also has the "reverse scale of the dragon" that others cannot touch, and her "reverse scale" is naturally Li Hongyu, if once Li Hongyu has the worry of life, then she will lose her mind and do something that is not "the benevolence of a woman".
At this time, a warehouse in the west of the city.
Although the door of the warehouse was closed and silent, two or three hundred people with weapons had already gathered inside, which was naturally the strength that the Westerners had gathered for tonight's rebellion.
"Lord Kim is here." In a warehouse, Cui Mingji and the others were discussing the matter of the night operation, when suddenly a voice came from outside the door, and Jin Yuan walked in quickly from outside the door with a pale face.
"Why did you come early, did something happen?" Cui Mingji was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly led everyone to meet him.
"Li Houpei and Li Houyuan brothers went wrong, among the people they contacted, Li Eryu made a complaint, and now the Li brothers and the people they contacted have been arrested and put into the robbery hall, and those people who have contacted have confessed."
Jin Yuan picked up a cup of tea on the table and drank it in one gulp, gritted his teeth and said, "The people from the Robbery Hall have already come to arrest me, if I hadn't gotten the news, we wouldn't have been here." ”
I have to say that although Jin Yuan is extremely angry now, he has not lost his mind, so he concealed that the person who reported to him was sent by Li Xingli, so as not to expose Li Xingli.
Except for a few core personnel such as Jin Yuan and Cui Mingji, they didn't know that Li Liang was also involved in this matter, and protecting Li Xingguo was obviously protecting Li Liang, as long as Li Liang was alive, even if they were all dead, there would be hope of turning the tables in the future.
"This bastard!" Hearing this, Cui Mingji's face suddenly changed, and he said coldly in his mouth, Li Eryu's words of confession have forced them into a desperate situation, and whether they rebel or not, they will not escape the government's accountability.
"My lord, it's not good, the troops of the Imperial Hall have reinforced the city gate, and the people of the Raiders Hall are searching for us everywhere." As soon as Cui Mingji's words fell, a big man ran over panting and said with a panicked expression.
"What?"
With a bang, the people around suddenly stirred, and their faces showed panicked looks, and no one thought that the matter would be revealed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a critical juncture, and if we want to survive, we can only fight against the water."
Seeing that many people at the scene were afraid, Cui Mingji pondered for a while and then said loudly, "Although the government already knows that we are going to do something tonight, they don't know where we will attack from, and they don't know how many troops we have. ”
"It's not a secret, Ayayang-jun has in his hand the evidence that His Royal Highness the Lord is going to be killed by the Ming Mission for rebellion, we are not fighting for ourselves tonight, but for North Korea, as long as we can restrain His Royal Highness, Ayayang-jun will explain the reason to the Ming Mission, and I believe that the Ming Mission will also support us."
Saying that, Cui Mingji raised his voice and said, "We are not alone, the training supervisors in the five military camps are our people, we will definitely be able to capture the palace and protect North Korea!" ”
"Take the palace and protect Korea!" When Jin Yuan heard this, he immediately understood Cui Mingji's intentions, and knew that he was boosting morale, so he raised his right fist and shouted loudly.
"Take the palace and protect Korea!" Hearing this, everyone at the scene first glanced at each other, and then raised their right fists and shouted, and their morale was boosted.
"Lord Jin, without further ado, let's act immediately and act separately." Cui Mingji saw that everyone's morale was boosted again, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to Jin Yuan in a deep voice.
"Okay, you lead someone to protect Ayayang-kun, and I'll take someone to Ximen." Jin Yuan knew that it was an emergency, so he immediately said to Cui Mingji.
"Lord Kim, take care!"
Compared with protecting Ayayang-kun, the task of attacking Ximen is more dangerous, Cui Mingji knows that Jin Yuan is taking care of him, but now it is not behind Qian's body, Jin Yuan is stronger than him in terms of commanding troops, so he bowed his hand to him and led dozens of people to run to Ayayang-kun's mansion in the night.
"Let's go!" Jin Yuan didn't expect things to come to this point, but at this time he had no way to retreat, so he waved the knife in his hand and led the rest of the people straight to the West Gate.
If you want to capture the palace, you must first take the west gate, otherwise Li Gui and Li Shu and others outside the city will not be able to enter the city, and then what awaits the rebels in the city will be a bloody massacre.
It is worth mentioning that when Jin Yuan left the warehouse, he sent someone to Qingyun Palace.
Qingyun Palace is the place where Queen Renmu, the princess of Li Hui, was placed under house arrest, and Queen Renmu can have the dignity of "Queen Mother", which will play a role in stabilizing the overall situation, so it is the object of Li Ju's efforts.
Because Queen Renmu hated Li Hui to the core, she would definitely help Li Ju, which was a trump card in Li Ju's hand.
