After returning to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Li Hui immediately summoned all his henchmen and important ministers to discuss countermeasures, and all the ministers were shocked when they learned that the Emperor of the Apocalypse actually wanted Korea to send 50,000 troops.

Although the territory of North Korea cannot be compared with that of the Ming Dynasty, it is also known as "3,000 miles of rivers and mountains", so it is not too difficult to prepare 50,000 troops.

But the key problem is that the troops needed by the Ming Dynasty must be the main force of the North Korean army, which means that North Korea has sent the most elite troops, and once there is any accident, North Korea will have to be slaughtered.

In addition, the military expenditure of these 50,000 Korean soldiers is also a serious problem, because they have to fight against Houjin, their military expenses are several times that of ordinary 50,000 Korean soldiers, and it is difficult for the Korean state to afford such a large expenditure.

"Your Royal Highness, the Ming Dynasty doesn't want us to fight with those barbarians to relieve the pressure on the Ming army!"

After the initial consternation, an official at the scene couldn't help but say to Li Hui worriedly, and the rest of the people also looked at Li Hui with concern, which was the most concerned issue for everyone.

Obviously, North Korean officials were worried that the Ming Dynasty would let the North Korea merge with Jinhuo, and then reap the benefits of the fishermen, so that the situation of the Ming army in western Liaoning could be improved or even reversed.

In other words, the officials' fear that the Ming Dynasty was preparing to build the Yalu River defense line was just a pretext for the purpose of making North Korean soldiers cannon fodder.

"This is the Holy Decree of His Majesty the Emperor, what can we do?" Li Hui glanced around at the ministers who were looking at him, smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

"Your Royal Highness, we can intercede with the envoy and ask him to explain our difficulties to His Majesty the Emperor, maybe things will take a turn for the better." An official groaned when he heard this, and said to Li Hui that this was their only chance now.

"Since His Majesty the Emperor has sent two scholars, it means that his mind has been decided, and the two envoys will not speak for us." Li Hui shook his head when he heard this, and beat his forehead with his fist with a tired expression, Da Ming could give him a big problem this time.

"Your Royal Highness, we can show the difficulties to His Majesty the Emperor, at least Da Ming should prepare grain and grass." At this time, another official made a suggestion, according to the Ming Dynasty's style of acting, it will definitely satisfy North Korea's request, after all, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.

"Your Highness is worried that we will be defeated by the barbarians before we get the grain and grass, and even the Ming army is not the opponent of the barbarians, how can we defeat the barbarians?"

An official then smiled bitterly and said worriedly, worried that the North Korean soldiers who fought against Houjin would not be able to get the food and grass of the Ming Dynasty at all.

After all, during the Battle of Salhu, North Korea dispatched more than 15,000 elite troops, but was defeated by the Houjin soldiers, and the commander of the North Korean army who had the slightest hope of escape would not choose to surrender to the Houjin to preserve his strength.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty is not ready to pursue the surrender of the North Korean army, after all, the main force of the Ming army is defeated, and can you still count on the North Korean army to turn the tide?

However, the surrender of the North Korean army led to a serious consequence, the supervision army sent by the Ming to the North Korean army committed suicide after learning of the surrender of the North Korean army, which North Korea must give the Ming an explanation.

In the past, due to the stalemate in the war in Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty did not have the energy to deal with North Korea about these things, but now it is different, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin personally commanded the Ming army to Seoul, and North Korea must pay the corresponding price for the Sarhu War.

"Your Royal Highness, according to the minister's opinion, let's first inquire about the reality of the Ming envoy." Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was becoming more and more solemn, Ayayang-kun Li Liang, who had been silent, groaned for a while and then spoke.

"That's fine." Li Hui frowned slightly when he heard this, it is not a way for them to speculate here, it is better to find a way to find out the news from Daming.

"Ayayang-kun, you had contact with those two liaison officers of Daming at the banquet that night, are they the kind of people who are easy to talk to?" When an official heard this, he couldn't help but ask Li Liang, and if Li Liang wanted to find out the news of the Ming envoys, he could only find Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin.

"Compared with the previous Ming envoys, these two liaison officers get along very well, and they don't have the condescending momentum of the previous Ming envoys, so they should be able to find out some useful information from them." Li Liang bowed slightly and replied in an orderly manner.

The reason why he went to approach Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin on the night of the banquet was because of Li Hui's order to communicate the relationship between the two sides, otherwise how could he dare to approach the people of the Ming Mission in front of everyone, which would be a taboo for Li Hui.

"Okay, you can find out the news from those two liaison officers first, they seem to have a close relationship with the Ming envoys, so they should know something."

Li Hui didn't have any other way, and when he heard the words, he told Li Ju in a deep voice, now he can only take one step at a time.

"Your Ministers obey." Li Ju bowed to Li Hui, and a subtle smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.

It can be seen that Li Hui trusts and values Li Ju very much, otherwise he would not have stayed by his side to do things, and he would not have been allowed to attend such an important meeting.

The reason why Li Hui reuses Li Ju so much is related to Li Ju's grandmother Ren Concubine Jin, who is one of the two beauties favored by Li Hui's father Xuanzu, and the other beauty is Gong Concubine Jin, Guang Haejun's biological mother.

Concubine Kim died shortly after giving birth to Linhae-kun and Gwanghae-kun Lee Hun, so Lee Hun was actually raised by the concubine Kim.

Although the relationship between the concubine Jin and political antagonism later, Li Hui also imposed house arrest on the concubine Jin in order to consolidate the foundation and succeed to the throne, but after all, the concubine Jin had the grace to nurture her, so Li Hui only put the concubine Jin under house arrest, and his attitude towards her was still respectful.

If the killer weapon of the Westerners Party is Queen Renmu, the trump card they rely on to compete for power with the Gubei faction is this Renconcubine Jin.

The eldest son of the Jin family, Xinchengjun, lost the battle with Li Hui that year and died of illness soon after, but the Jin family did not give up the opportunity to compete for the throne, because she also had a son, Li Xuan, the king of Dingyuan.

Dingyuanjun and Renconcubine Jin have been under the protection of the Westerner Party officials, which gives the Westerner Party the confidence to compete with the Gubei Party.

It's a pity that Dingyuanjun died in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, which made the court lose its threat to Li Hui for a while.

Dingyuanjun's eldest son is Ayayang Jun Li Liang, Li Liang is young and promising, and he is a rising star in the clan, so he is deeply liked and loved by Li Hui, and considering the nurturing grace of the Jin family, Li Liang is left by his side.

Originally, Li Hui thought that with the death of Dingyuanjun, no one in the court could pose a threat to his rule, which made him feel slack.

It was at this time that the Westerners gathered around Ayayang-kun, preparing to fight against Li Hui through Li Liang.

It's a pity that Li Hui didn't notice this at all, after all, the officials of the Westerner Party were light-hearted, and Li Ju was his junior, how could he expect that Li Ju would covet the throne, which is also an important reason why the coup d'état can be carried out smoothly in the future.

Although the matter of transferring troops to the Yalu River can be delayed, the punishment of the generals who surrendered during the Battle of Salhu is urgent, and the Ming envoys did not use the Ming army to arrest people, which has already given Li Hui enough face.

Due to the commander-in-chief of the Korean army during the Salhu War, Jin Ningjun, Marshal Du, and Jiang Hongli, the left counselor of the parliamentary government, were retained by Nurhachi because of their knowledge of the Jurchen words.

Therefore, Li Hui ordered the deputy marshal of the North Korean army, Kim Kyung-rui, who had fled back, and several generals and their entire families to be arrested and put in prison, awaiting the trial of the Ming envoys.

I have to say that Jiang Hongli's luck was very good, he did not return to China with other captured Korean soldiers, but was left in Liaodong by Houjin, thus avoiding the possibility of being settled by North Korea and the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps, Jiang Hongli did not have the face to return to North Korea again, as the commander of the first army, he surrendered to Houjin, which was regarded as a barbarian by North Korea, and he would definitely be criticized by the Korean government and the opposition.

The next morning, Li Liang rushed to the State Guest House early to visit Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin.

The sergeant guarding the gate knew that Li Liang was the prince of Joseon, so he sent him to the reception hall to wait, and then passed on Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin.

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin had been waiting for Li Liang's arrival for a long time, and after hearing the news, they went to the reception hall to see Li Liang, and after a few words of greeting, they took Li Liang to do an official business.

According to the confession of the Ming envoys, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin went to visit the family of Kim Yinghe, the general of the left battalion of the Korean army, who died in the Battle of Sarhu.

During the Battle of Salhu, after the Ming army of the southern route was defeated by the Houjin army, the Korean army that followed behind the Ming army of the southern road engaged the Houjin soldiers in a short battle for this reason, and was attacked by the Houjin army at the deep river, which made the commander Jiang Hongli and the deputy marshal Jin Jingrui choose to surrender.

However, Kim Yinghe, the general of the left battalion of the North Korean army, led thousands of Korean soldiers under his command to fight to the death against the Houjin army, and as a result, he was martyred, and his commanders were almost killed by the Houjin.

Li Hongyu felt that there should be clear rewards and punishments on the battlefield, so that the soldiers would be convinced, so he decided to visit Jin Yinghe's family.

This time he went to Jin Yinghe's house, Li Hongyu naturally would not be empty-handed, not only brought a large number of rewards from the Emperor of the Apocalypse to the Jin family, but also posthumously crowned Jin Yinghe as a loyal martial artist, hereditary replacement.

When Li Hongyu finished reading the holy decree of posthumous sealing, Li Liang, who was standing aside, suddenly showed a surprised look on his face, not only him, but now all North Koreans are stunned, the Ming Dynasty has never canonized the title of North Korean officials before, this time it has set a precedent.

In other words, Jin Yinghe's family has become a very special existence in the Korean Kingdom, and Jin Yinghe's eldest son Jin Kang is the same as the Korean king Li Hui, who is a lord canonized by the Ming Dynasty, so Li Hui can no longer dispose of Jin Kang, and Jin Kang's rewards and deeds will go through the Great Tomorrow.

For the earl who suddenly became the Ming Dynasty, Jin Kang and the people of the Jin family seemed a little unbelievable for a while, no one thought that the Ming Emperor would send down such a great favor, so he was grateful and couldn't help himself, and the entire Seoul was shocked by this incident.
