Lee's Joseon was founded by Yi Sung-gye's destruction of the Goryeo Dynasty.

Since Li Chenggui, the Li dynasty has always served the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, and completely copied the culture and etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty, and the nobles of the upper class were proud to practice the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.

Today, the king of the Lee dynasty is Yi Hao. After the Bingzi Rebellion fifteen years ago, Li Hao was taken to Shengjing as a hostage, and it was not until seven years ago, after the Battle of Liaodong, that he was released back to Korea. Two years ago, Injo Yi passed away and succeeded to the throne of Joseon.

Xi Benzhen was originally the governor of the special economic zone, and all foreign trade transactions with the DPRK could only be concluded through his hands, and he had always had good relations with the officials and businessmen of the DPRK. Now Xi Benzhen is here on a diplomatic mission from the Jiangnan regime of the Ming Dynasty, and he is a special envoy on behalf of the Heavenly Empire. After Xi Benzhen arrived at the capital of the Joseon king, Li Hao personally led the ministers of the Joseon State out of the city and greeted him with the courtesy of receiving the envoys of the upper kingdom.

At the banquet, the ministers of the Korean State sat down in two factions, and one faction enthusiastically stepped forward to toast Xi Benzhen and salute him; On the other hand, they ignore it coldly.

Before Xi Benzhen left, he had already found businessmen who had been dealing with Korean officials and businessmen for many years, and had done a simple homework on the internal affairs of North Korea.

When the DPRK was in Imjin and the Japanese Rebellion, there was a partisan struggle between the East People's Party and the West People's Party. The East People's Party is the old faction, and the Wester Party is the Young Zhuang faction.

Later, because the Westerners Party supported the ascendancy of Injo and Hyojong Yihao, the Westerners are now in power in North Korea.

After the rebellion, due to the difference in the attitude towards the Manchus, the Westerners were divided into the pro-Qing and anti-Ming Gongxi faction and the anti-Qing and pro-Ming Qingxi faction.

The leader of the Gongxi faction was Jin Zidian, and the leader of the Qingxi faction was Song Shilie. Xi Benzhen didn't have to guess that it was the Qing Western faction who came to toast him enthusiastically; And the one who has always been cold to him must be the pro-Qing and anti-Ming Gongxi faction.

Because Li Hao himself was hostile to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Qing Western faction was actually in power in the Korean court today.

The reason why Li Hao also let the people from the Gongxi faction also sit at the table was actually the need for negotiations, to avoid the atmosphere above the court was one-sided in favor of the Ming Dynasty, and the negotiations would be quite passive. Looking for people from the Gongxi faction to come, in fact, they are here to be-stirring sticks.

But at the reception banquet, the love and hatred of the ministers of the Gongxi faction for Xi Benzhen, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, were clearly on their faces, and they did not give any face, which would be too much, and Li Hao was also very embarrassed, and asked in person in the official language of the Ming Dynasty, "What is the matter of the envoy's trip?" ”

The monarchs and ministers of the Joseon State are proud to learn the Ming language, and Li Hao has also received relevant training since he was a child, and the Ming language is quite smooth.

A large number of Xuanjia troops landed on Phi Island, which is separated from the water of Yiju, can the Korean king Yi Haoyan not know? Li Hao couldn't figure out the purpose of Xi Benzhen's trip, but he was just knowingly asking and testing Xi Benzhen's tone.

Xi Benzhen smiled and said, "I heard that the king is reorganizing his army in Korea and intends to invade the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the north. ”

After the rebellion, Li Hao was captured and imprisoned in Shengjing for eight years, and he had an unforgettable hatred for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, otherwise in the battle of Liaodong a few years ago, how could he have assisted the Xuanjia army that landed in Liaodong in large numbers under the nose of the Manchu Qing.

Since Li Hao ascended the throne, he has been reorganizing the Korean army and fighting war, always preparing for a disgrace. However, due to the national power of Korea and the surveillance of the Manchus, only an army of about 15,000 people was trained.

Because of the surveillance of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Li Hao's Northern Expedition was a secret in Korea, and Xi Benzhen actually knew the inside story, so someone must have reported it. Li Hao's questioning eyes fell on the minister Song Shilie beside him, and the one who revealed this confidential news to the Ming envoy must be the Qingxi faction led by Song Shilie.

The gray-haired Jin Zidian stood up and scolded, "Ridiculous! Ridiculous! A country's machine honey can also be leaked, if the Manchu Qing know that our country is secretly training troops, then what is it?! ”

Song Shilie came out with an embarrassed expression and said, "King, the Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of God, Emperor Shenzong also has the grace of rebuilding our country, and now we also have the goal of jointly fighting against the Manchu Dynasty, of course our country should not hide it, and tell the truth!" ”

Jin Zidian said angrily, "It is true that the Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of God, and it is not false that Emperor Shenzong has the grace of recreation to our country." But the court of the Ming Dynasty was in Beijing, not in Jiangnan, and the regent of Jiangnan was a usurper. Our unauthorized contact with the rebellious regime in Jiangnan is a betrayal of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Song Shilie said unhappily, "Jin Lao's words are extreme, the regent of Jiangnan is the son-in-law of the current emperor, and he also pursues the Ming Dynasty's clothes and Confucian culture, what is the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Jin Zidian scolded sharply, "The Chinese clothes pursued by the regent of Jiangnan?!" Ridiculous! As far as I know, the regent of Jiangnan has long destroyed Confucianism in Jiangnan and pursued the fallacies and tricks of Western red hair. These red-haired creatures are hairy all over their bodies, like wild beasts. Eating bloody beef, and still drinking blood in Rumao, he was more ignorant and filthy than the Manchus. ”

"Moreover, this regent, as the son-in-law of the Ming Emperor, did not know how to repay the king's grace, but sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and he was clearly a rebellious minister and thief! How can we, my lord, deal with this perverse regent? This person should be arrested immediately and escorted to Shengjing! ”

In his heart, Li Hao agreed to conspire with the Jiangnan regime of the Ming Dynasty to attack the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was the need for Jin to come from the point of negotiation. How do you know that Jin Zidian is using the topic to play, and his temper is irritable, and he directly scolded Fang Yuan.

How can this be peaceful?

Li Hao secretly looked at Xi Benzhen, Xi Benzhen's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word. He negotiated on behalf of Fang Yuan, and Jin Zidian scolded Fang Yuan for every word, which was to slap him in the face!

Li Hao saw Xi Benzhen's suppressed anger, and hurriedly gave Song Shilie a look, ordering him to immediately relieve the siege and appease the envoy sent by Jiangnan.

Song Shilie was about to speak, Xi Benzhen had already stood up suddenly, and he sneered, "Jin Zidian, Jin Lao!" The regent and the current Ming Emperor are one family, and the regent only governs Jiangnan instead of the emperor. On weekdays, the one who deals with your country the most is our regent, and all the raw silk, silk, and porcelain of Joseon are imported from Jiangnan. ”

He walked past Jin Zidian, walked around to the people of the Gongxi faction, looked around, raised a porcelain cup, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, since Jin Lao and you ministers hate the regent of Jiangnan so much, take off all the silk you are wearing!" ”

He slammed the porcelain cup to the ground, smashed it, and said sharply, "The wine glass is all gone!" There are also concubines in your mansion, no longer allowed to use perfume and soap imported from Jiangnan! ”

"The anthology written by Jin Lao is still used on Jiangnan rice paper, and the Jiangnan classics copied and borrowed from are all burned! Since Jin Lao likes Manchu Tatars so much, what do you still say about the Ming Dynasty, it is best to change to the bird words of Tatars. ”

Xi Benzhen's suppressed anger finally broke out completely, and everyone, including Jin Zidian, was scolded by him, but they were all silent, and the use of the Korean state, including clothing, was all imported from Jiangnan. If Fang Yuan severed relations with the Korean state, given the lack of resources in the Korean state, it is estimated that either the whole people will run naked, or go to the ancestors to wear animal skins.

Xi Benzhen scolded Jin Zidian and the others, and then turned to Li Hao and said, "The king, the regent is here with full sincerity this time, and he will not be interested in the gains and losses of a few taels of silver with the king." As long as the king does not forget the shame and humiliation of Bingzi's rebellion, and does not forget the blood debt of Ding Mao, you and I can talk about anything! ”

Ding Mao was in chaos, that is, during the apocalypse, Yuan Chonghuan sat back and watched in Liaodong, and Huang Taiji was forced to land in the Korean War, and Amin almost slaughtered the northern part of Korea, ten rooms and nine empty.

Li Hao was extremely ashamed when he heard this, and suddenly got up and said, "Okay, what your envoy said is good, all the battles of tongue are over to the end, and we are now back to business!" ”
