Chapter 676: Change of Dynasty
Li Hongyu stayed in Dongjiang for three days, and Mao Wenlong accompanied him to inspect the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Town, although the conditions were a little difficult, but the people seemed very satisfied, after all, it was not easy to find a place to live in the troubled times.
After learning that the courteous young official accompanied by Mao Wenlong was the governor of Liaodong after the defeat of Liaodong in that year, the people of Dongjiang Town couldn't help but be overjoyed, with Li Hongyu protecting them, what else did they have to fear, and returning to their homeland in Liaodong was just around the corner.
Although Li Hongyu was in a high position, he did not have the slightest official pretense, he was very kind and close to the people, personally visited the people's homes, understood their sufferings, and even stayed in the people's homes to eat, and ate those dark and rough food.
To be honest, even a military general like Mao Wenlong is a little difficult to swallow those foods, but Li Hongyu is like a person who has nothing to do, which can't help but make Mao Wenlong and others feel admired, and the people are even more respectful.
Of course, Li Hongyu can't eat for nothing in the people's homes, and afterwards he will let people send some food as their food expenses, which is enough for a family of five to eat for a month, and it is all good food, and it will not make those people suffer at all.
"Is this Scholar Li really that powerful? It seems that he is just a weak scholar, who can defeat the 100,000 army of Jiannu in Tieling? β
Because Li Hongyu was too young, some people were suspicious of his achievements in Liaodong, especially the Tieling victory that the imperial court vigorously promoted.
After all, there have been many cases of lying about war exploits in recent years, and Mao Wenlong, the general soldier of the Dongjiang River, dared to report that he killed 50,000 enemies and scared away 20,000 battle reports, not to mention Li Hongyu, the governor of Liaodong.
"This is a true thing, I am a native of Tieling, I saw with my own eyes that the officers and soldiers led by Scholar Li captured more than 10,000 Jiannu, and later exchanged for tens of thousands of captured officers and soldiers."
However, these doubts were quickly broken, and the people from Shenyang, Liaoyang and other places, especially Tieling, could confirm the victory of Tieling, so they gave a very positive answer.
"More than 10,000 Jiannu were captured?"
Those who doubted Li Hongyu were taken aback, the number of those killed enemies was easy to fake, but the number of prisoners was difficult to manipulate.
What's more, the Liaodong Ming Army later exchanged prisoners with the Houjin, and exchanged more than 10,000 Houjin prisoners for 20,000 or 30,000 Ming prisoners of war.
"Scholar Li is the star in the sky who came down to earth to protect my Ming Dynasty, why is he afraid of Jiannu in Liaodong?"
An old man couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this is also the voice of all the people in Dongjiang Town, and everyone's hope of returning to their hometown in Liaodong is pinned on Li Hongyu.
In addition to boosting morale, Li Hongyu's visit to Dongjiang Town this time is also an important purpose to appease the people, and it is really lamentable, for these people who have left their hometowns to live in such a harsh environment.
After staying in Dongjiang for three days, Li Hongyu and his entourage set off to return to Seoul, and the crowd of people who came to see them off filled the wharf of Dongjiang Island, and many people couldn't help but cry, everyone obviously didn't want Li Hongyu to leave, but how could Li Hongyu, as an important minister of the imperial court, stay here for a long time?
"Brother Li, I really admire you for being able to eat those hard-to-swallow cakes." After leaving the dock, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, who were standing on the bow deck, entered the cabin, and after sitting down, Zhao Xin couldn't help but say.
For Zhao Xin, who has been pampered since childhood, eating the meals of those poor people in Dongjiang Town is simply a kind of torture, and it is really difficult for her to eat those meals, so Li Hongyu asked her to stay in the General Military Mansion to rest, otherwise she really doesn't know what to do.
"Only by knowing the sufferings of the people can we spur ourselves forward."
Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and then sighed helplessly, "Alas, those things to eat are already their best, and they took them out to entertain me, I really don't know how their days usually come!" β
"When the Jiannu are exterminated, they will be able to return to their hometown, and then they will have a good life." Zhao Xin saw that Li Hongyu was a little sad, so he smiled and comforted.
"Hopefully this day will come sooner." Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, his expression was a little lonely, he knew that it would not be easy to defeat Houjin, it would be a long war.
In the middle of March of the third year of the Apocalypse, the edict of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to approve Li Hui's throne arrived in Seoul, followed by the holy decree of canonizing Li Ju as the king of Joseon.
In late March, Li Hui's Zen throne ceremony and Li Liang's enthronement ceremony were held at the same time, and Seoul was enveloped in a joyful atmosphere.
Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin participated in this grand ceremony as envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and in addition to the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were sent by the Emperor of the Apocalypse to watch the ceremony, Mao Wenlong and Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, also rushed to congratulate them.
Yuan Keli was naturally invited by Li Hongyu, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse also approved the matter, otherwise as the governor of Denglai, he would not be able to leave the jurisdiction and go to Korea, otherwise it would be a great crime of rebellion.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Li Hongyu and Yuan Keli have met, and the reason why this is so is because Yuan Keli has been dismissed for 26 years.
When Yuan Keli was activated, Li Hongyu had already left the capital to go to Jiangnan to prepare for overseas trade, and when Li Hongyu returned to Beijing, Yuan Keli was already the governor of Denglai, so naturally he had no chance to meet.
Yuan Keli, the word Liqing, the number Jiehuan, also known as the idle layman, is a native of Suizhou, Henan.
Different from the same science Jinshi Gao Panlong, Yuan Keli's career was quite bumpy, Ming Wanli 17 years in the Jinshi after the Suzhou Prefecture Governor, Wanli 23 years to Shanxi Province to supervise the imperial history, in May of the same year because of the direct punishment of the year.
In the twenty-fourth year of Wanli, Yuan Keli was dismissed and returned to his hometown because of his admonitions, and he stayed at home for twenty-six years.
It was not until the first year of the Apocalypse that Yuan Keli was enabled again, and since then it can be said that he has been bitter and sweet, and his official fortune has been prosperous, first serving as Shangbao Si Cheng, and then becoming Shaoqing of Shangbao Temple, and in July of the same year, he became Shaoqing of Taifu Temple.
In the second year of the Apocalypse, Yuan Keli was promoted to the position of the general political envoy Zuo Tongzheng, acting as the secretary and serving the scripture feast, and in the same month, he served as the official of the court to try to read the papers.
The following month, Yuan Keli hung the right governor of Denglai, and the governor of Denglai.
In the third year of the Apocalypse, Yuan Keli added the title of the right attendant of the military department and gave the third emperor's order, which can be described as the emperor's grace.
The reason why Yuan Keli was able to be used again was that his Gao Panlong, who was already in a high position in the court, made great contributions in the same year, without their maneuver and support, it would be difficult for Yuan Keli to pay, let alone be promoted one after another.
Although the historical data does not elaborate, judging from the officialdom situation in the early period of the Apocalypse Dynasty, Yuan Keli's comeback and being entrusted with important tasks was supported by the Donglin Party in power, and Gao Panlong alone was enough weight, and later Sun Chengzong.
However, Yuan Keli was only ideologically inclined to the Donglin Party, and did not join the Donglin Party, which is why he was impeached by the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang and some officials of the Donglin Party, and belonged to the neutral faction in the court.
Although Yuan Keli was dismissed for 26 years, he had already made great achievements in the seven years he had been an official before, and he was outstanding among the same batch of jinshi.
As we all know, Suzhou has been an important place in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times, and it is also the hometown of several important ministers of the court during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the officials who came to Suzhou Mansion to take up their posts might as well walk on thin ice, for fear of making mistakes, and God knows which great god of the imperial court stood behind those local magnates.
But Yuan Keli is not afraid of others and looks forward and backward, but enforces the law like a mountain, is resolute and upright in all cases, does not avoid the powerful, and does not hesitate to offend the governor of Yingtian for the case, and is regarded as a model for the world's officials.
This alone shows how Yuan Keli is and how capable he is, and Li Hongyu admires and respects him.
"Lord Yuan!" Therefore, when Yuan Keli arrived in Seoul, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin personally went out of the city to greet each other, and Yuan Keli, who was the first to get down from the carriage with a smile, bowed his hand.
"I've seen two scholars." Yuan Keli didn't expect that Li Hongyu, who was an auxiliary minister, would go out of the city to greet him with the scholar of Youchunfang, and he didn't expect Li Hongyu to take the initiative to salute, which made him flattered and hurriedly returned the salute.
Although Zhao Xin's official position is not as good as Yuan Keli's, her status in the officialdom as a scholar of Youchunfang University is higher than that of Yuan Keli, so the identities and status of the two in officialdom are comparable.
As for Li Hongyu, both his official position and status are higher than Yuan Keli, so Yuan Keli should go to Li Hongyu first.
"Your Excellency." In addition to Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, Mao Wenlong, who arrived in advance, also came to greet him and saluted Yuan Keli.
"Mr. Mao." Seeing this, Yuan Keli also smiled and bowed back to Mao Wenlong, although there was unhappiness between the two, the contradiction was not so big that he stared at him with angry eyebrows.
Li Hongyu has prepared a reception banquet for Yuan Keli at the State Guest House, although the two met for the first time and there was an age gap, but they were like-minded and familiar at first sight, which made the atmosphere of the banquet extremely relaxed and harmonious.
Under Li Hongyu's peace, the knot between Mao Wenlong and Yuan Keli was eliminated a lot, and the relationship became harmonious.
In fact, according to historical records, Yuan Keli is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, although he and Mao Wenlong later did not have a good relationship, but he has always supported Mao Wenlong when he served as the governor of Denglai, and Mao Wenlong's achievements in the Dongjiang River were all in the period when Yuan Keli was the governor of Denglai.
On the third day after Yuan Keli came, Li Hui's Zen throne ceremony and Li Liang's succession ceremony were held in Seoul.
Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin and other Ming officials watched the ceremony as honored guests, Li Hongyu was very satisfied with the grand and lively scene in front of him, and a coup d'Γ©tat was quietly resolved, which not only stabilized the situation in North Korea but also narrowed the relationship between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, which was beneficial to resist the Later Jin.
Although the outside world does not know Li Hongyu's true identity, he is a person trusted by the Ming envoys, so those officials naturally want to come to the close.
Speaking of which, when Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were "liaison officers," they had dealt with the DPRK's civil and military ministers to a greater or lesser extent, and they were also old acquaintances, and those officials in the DPRK were more willing to deal with him and Zhao Xin.
After Li Liang succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did was naturally to appoint and dismiss some officials in important positions in the imperial court.
Due to Li Hongyu's intervention, the Gubei Party, which was in power, was not wiped out, otherwise many ministers of the Gubei Party, such as Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan, would have lost their lives.
Despite this, the Gubei Party was still greatly damaged, not only giving up the position of leading the council and the right council, but also losing many of the official positions of the six Cao Zhong judges and judges, but after all, they retained part of their strength.
Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan must be taken down by Li Liang, these two people are the leaders of the Gubei Party, and they have deep roots, and if they don't leave, they will make him be constrained in the future.
Since the Westerners were all middle- and low-ranking officials, it was the Nanren Party that benefited the most from Li Liang's coup, and Li Yuanyi, the leader of the Nanren Party, was able to become the leader of the government.
The second is a newly rising force led by Li Yi'er's father, an official recruited by Li Hongyu in the North Korean officialdom, and this time he was able to be appointed to many important positions, and won the three important positions of Right Council Politics, Bing Cao Judgment and Li Cao Judgment.
The officials of the Westerner Party are all middle- and lower-level officials, and it is impossible to ascend to the sky in one step, so its core figure Li Gui only served as the official Cao Shen Ju, and the other core figure Jin Yuan is only a Bing Cao Senju, and cannot become the "verdict" of the Six Caos, but can only be a "judging".
As for Hong Ruifeng, Cui Mingji and others, they can only serve in smaller official positions such as Zoro and Senate.
It is worth mentioning that Li Shi, who was appointed as the commander of the "Righteous Army" by Li Liang, only got a petty official like Yin from the Seoul Prefecture.
