The next morning, the State Guest House.

"Your Excellency, I just received a report that last night Ayayang-kun had a secret meeting with Jin Yuan, the former Jiangjie Prefecture envoy, Li Gui, the former soldier Cho Zuolang, Cui Mingji, and the former Busan envoy Shen Jingzhen in the bthehel, and because they withdrew all their subordinates, they didn't know what to discuss."

A guard bowed his hand to Li Hongyu, who was playing against Zhao Xin, and reported in a deep voice.

"Brother Zhao, what do you say is the matter with their secret meeting this time?" Li Hongyu waved his hand, and the guard bowed down, and then he asked Zhao Xin opposite with a smile when he heard the words.

"Li Liang has a close friendship with the Westerners, acts cautiously, and has always deliberately kept a distance from the Westerners."

Zhao Xin smiled slightly when he heard this, put down the chess pieces in his hand and said, "But two days ago, he learned from us that the imperial court was preparing to abolish Li Hui's throne and replace it with Li Zhen, and as a result, he uncharacteristically met Li Gui and others, so he must be rushing for the throne." ”

"In more than half a month, we will leave Seoul, and then I am afraid that it will be the day of Li Liang's showdown with Li Hui, and the Westerners Party will try their best to transfer Li Gui to the post of envoy of Pingshan Prefecture, and they have already had the intention of rebelling, so we just pushed them."

Li Hongyu held the chess pieces in his hand, looked at the chessboard and asked with interest, "You said, if Li Liang rebels, he has a few chances of winning." ”

"Li Hui and the Gubei Party are now unaware that the Westerners' Party, which has a generally low official position, is secretly planning a rebellion, and once Li Ju makes a move, he will definitely be caught off guard."

Zhao Xin pondered for a moment, and then replied with a smile, "In addition, we have already released the rumor that we are going to abolish Li Hui, which has invisibly helped Li Lian, so Li Lian's winning chance is not small." ”

"The Westerners don't have many troops under their control, Li Gui's soldiers are already their main force, and the defenders of Seoul are almost all Li Hui's people, if the Westerners Party has such a small number of troops, it can't be done at all."

Li Hongyu looked up at Zhao Xin after dropping the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, and said with a smile, "Therefore, the Westerners must still have unknown tricks, but I don't know what killer tricks they have yet?" ”

"Regardless of whether Li Hui succeeds or not, the sky in North Korea is about to change, and Li Hui, the king, is the end." Zhao Xin smiled when he heard this, Li Hui was undoubtedly the biggest loser in the conflict, and he could no longer be the king of Joseon.

"My lord, the slave maid bought some spring clothes for her family, and I want to take a half-day vacation." At this moment, Li Yier walked in, bowed to Li Hongyu and said.

Li Yi'er's family has come to Seoul after the New Year, and according to the agreement at the reception banquet last year, Li Hui pardoned her father Li Hao's guilt, so that his family can be reunited.

Li Hao was originally the envoy of a state in Gangwon Province, North Korea, and was falsely accused of being convicted of offending Shangguan, if it wasn't for Li Yier meeting Li Hongyu, I'm afraid that Li Hao's family would have to spend the rest of their lives in suffering.

"You have been separated from your family for a long time, you should be together for a good reunion, this official allows you to take three days off, and go to the account office to withdraw a month's monthly money."

Li Hongyu did not embarrass Li Yi'er, and said to her after hearing the words that she had only been home once since Li Yi'er's family came to Seoul.

Speaking of which, Li Hao's family was able to come to Seoul because of the blessing of their daughter Li Yier, Li Hao was not only rehabilitated, but also transferred to Bingcao to serve, which can be described as bittersweet.

"Master Xie." Li Yi'er breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and thanked Li Hongyu in a coquettish voice.

"Brother Li, she won't go home early or late, but if she goes back at this time, I'm afraid the purpose is not simple." After Li Yi'er left, Zhao Xin glanced at her back and said to Li Hongyu with a smile.

Two days ago, Li Hongyu not only revealed to Li Ju that Daming wanted to abolish Li Hui's throne, but he also let Li Yier know about it seemingly inadvertently.

Therefore, Zhao Xin suspected that Li Yi'er went back this time to pass on this important news to Li Hui, after all, she was sent by Li Hui to monitor the Ming Mission, and she would definitely report to the higher authorities after getting such important news.

"This time we are here to ask him about the guilt, there is no need to cover it up, anyway, Li Ju will soon leak this news, and let Li Yier tell Li Hui in advance, which will make Li Hui think that Li Yier is a useful chess piece laid by him."

Li Hongyu smiled disappreciatively, he was not afraid that Li Hui would know that the Ming Dynasty was preparing to abolish his throne, because Li Hui was powerless to resist at all.

Besides, although the Ming Dynasty abolished Li Hui's throne, he was ready to let his son Li Qi succeed him, and the throne of North Korea was equivalent to his family's, and Li Hui should be satisfied.

Sure enough, after Li Yi'er went home, she immediately passed the information that Daming was going to abolish Li Hui and Li Shizi, Li Hui was taken aback when she learned the news, and then there was a helpless wry smile on her face.

In fact, from the moment he learned that the Ming mission had arrived in Incheon, Li Hui had a premonition that his throne was unstable, and the Ming must have been extremely dissatisfied with the neutral policy he adopted.

However, because the Ming envoys had been busy preparing for the establishment of the Korean Legion after coming to Korea, and did not mention the punishment of him, this made Li Hui can't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart, he didn't want to lose the throne of the king of Joseon.

But now it seems that his expectations have come to naught, and another important purpose of the Ming envoys coming this time is to abolish his throne, but perhaps because of the defeat of the Ming army in the Liaodong war, the Ming envoys do not want to make things too rigid to avoid changes in Korea.

After some weighing, Li Hui called Zheng Renhong, the leader of the council, Li Erzhan, the judge of Licao, and Park Chengzong, the left councilor, to the palace and informed the Ming that he was ready to abolish the throne and establish his son Li Cheng as king.

"How so?" Zheng Renhong and the others couldn't help but feel extremely shocked when they heard this, they didn't get the slightest rumor beforehand.

"You are all Lone's henchmen, and Lone seems to be unable to escape this disaster this time, and I hope that you can assist the prince like Lonely in the future."

Li Hui's expression was a little gloomy, and after a deep groan, he said to Li Zhen, the prince who was sitting on the side, "Shizi, salute all of you, after you leave Korea, they will be the ministers of the humerus that you can trust!" ”

"I've seen you." Hearing this, Li Qi hurriedly got up and solemnly bowed to Zheng Renhong and the others.

Once he is deposed from the throne, he will definitely leave North Korea to go to Daming, and he will be imprisoned in the capital of Daming at that time.

"Your Highness, Your Lord, the ministers are afraid." Where did Zheng Renhong and the others dare to accept Li Zhen's worship, they got up and knelt on the ground one after another.

"Everyone, please."

Li Hui raised his hand upward, his eyes showed a sad look, he had considered the consequences of provoking Da Ming in the matter of Hou Jin, but he didn't expect Da Ming's punishment to be so serious, and he didn't give him a chance to breathe at all.

"Your Royal Highness, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty have not yet announced this matter, which means that there is still a turning point in the matter, and it is better for His Royal Highness to take the initiative to show the envoys of the Ming Dynasty their intention to resist the barbarians, maybe there will be a turning point."

Zheng Renhong got up and pondered for a while, and said to Li Hui with a serious expression, as long as the Ming envoys did not announce this matter to the public, then Li Hui would still have a chance.

"It's late."

Li Hui couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and said to Zheng Renhong with a look of loss, "Da Ming is quite dissatisfied with Gu, and this time he wants to use North Korea to drag down the barbarians, so he will not change his opinion because of Gu's momentary words, if Gu really does that, it will make the Ming envoys suspicious." ”

Hearing this, everyone at the scene suddenly fell silent, how could everyone not know what Li Hui said, in the face of the Ming Dynasty, Li Hui had no chance to turn over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after leaving alone, everyone must be optimistic about our North Korea, and never bring great disasters to North Korea because of impulsiveness."

Seeing this, Li Hui sighed secretly in his heart, and then looked at Zheng Renhong and the others and said bitterly, "Everyone, today's Ming is no longer the Ming of the past, the reason why Lone wants to maneuver between the Ming and the barbarians is to avoid disasters, once the barbarians seize the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, then we will have to take the brunt of North Korea." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, we will not sit idly by and watch North Korea fall into danger." When Zheng Renhong heard this, he bowed his hand to Li Hui and replied with a serious expression, he knew that Li Hui had always thought that the Ming Dynasty could not destroy the Houjin, so he was unwilling to fight with the Houjin.

Li Erzhan and the others then bowed down and saluted, echoing Zheng Renhong's words, but it is unknown whether they will do what Li Hui said, after all, the civilian clique of North Korea regards the Ming culture as orthodox and recognizes the status of Korea as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, so how can they let a barbarian like Houjin bow his head.

"Alas!" Li Hui sighed secretly in his heart, he naturally knew the concept upheld by the Korean civilian clique, otherwise he would not have fought alone for the affairs of Houjin, and few officials agreed with his neutrality policy.

However, since he is about to leave North Korea, he can't care about the future, and hopes that North Korea will not become cannon fodder for the Ming Dynasty to fight against Houjin.

In fact, for Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan, it is better to change their son Li Zhen to become the king of Joseon, which is not to say that they want to betray Li Hui, but that Li Hui's behavior between Daming and Houjin cannot be recognized by the Gubei faction.

During the Salhu War, Zheng Renhong and Li Erzhan, the two major party leaders of the Gubei faction, agreed to send troops to assist the Ming Dynasty in attacking Houjin, which was contrary to Li Hui's idea, indicating that the Gubei faction's attitude towards Houjin was different from Li Hui's.

After all, Korea at that time was a country heavily influenced by Confucianism, and Li Hui's dislocation between the Later Jin and Ming regimes made Korean ministers and members of the royal family who were influenced by Confucianism's ideology of foolishness and loyalty quite dissatisfied.

You must know that it has not been many years since the Ming Dynasty sent troops to North Korea to help North Korea drive away the invading Japanese state, and the whole country of North Korea is grateful to the Ming Dynasty for its reconstruction, so it is psychologically difficult for the government and the opposition to tolerate North Korea to do things that are disloyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the neutrality policy upheld by Li Hui can be described as unpopular.

Therefore, if it is replaced by Li Zhen, the prince of the world, the Gubei faction will breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, at least Li Zhen will not make mistakes on this kind of major issue of right and wrong.

Moreover, even if the young Li Hui wants to make a mistake, he will definitely be checked and balanced by the Gubei faction, after all, he does not have Li Hui's power, skills and prestige, and he cannot suppress the Gubei faction and control the political situation in North Korea.
