Three days later, after Jin Jingrui and others surrendered, Jin's generals and Jiang Hongli's family members were beheaded in public at the execution ground outside the city.

This execution attracted a large number of people to come to see the excitement, and as far as the eye could see, it was densely packed, and the execution ground was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

When the heads of Jin Jingrui and others were cut off, the people burst into loud cheers, hating these generals who were greedy for life and afraid of death.

With the killing of Kim Kyung-seo and others, the voice of the North Korean officialdom against the main battle of Houjin immediately occupied the mainstream, and all the civil and military officials agreed with the construction of the Yalu River defense line, which could be attacked and defended.

Li Hui was secretly anxious about this, and the North Korean officialdom originally advocated a war against the Houjin, but he suppressed it, pursuing a neutral policy of "not betraying the Ming and not angering the Jin", so as to protect himself and sit back and watch the Ming and the Houjin fight.

Now that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty are sitting in Seoul, Li Hui naturally does not dare to act rashly, and can only watch the voice of the main battle in the Korean officialdom.

After dealing with the affairs of Jiang Hongli and Kim Kyung-seo, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were busy holding martial arts examinations in Seoul to select officers for the Korean Army to be formed in the future.

Although the martial arts examination was held in Seoul and all Koreans were recruited, it was set up by the Holy Decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and those who passed the examination would receive the martial arts fame of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as the news of Wuju came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the Seoul area, according to the holy decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the number of personnel in this Wuju Enke was half of the children of the nobles and half of the children of the commoners.

Those commoner children are full of longing for this, once they gain the fame of martial arts, they will fly on the branches and become phoenixes, becoming the new two classes of nobles.

It is worth mentioning that the two classes of noble children here do not only refer to the son-in-law, but also include a large number of concubines, and according to the Korean law of subordination, only the son-in-law can inherit the status of the two classes of nobles, and the concubine is no different from a slave.

This made the concubines of the two classes of nobles in Seoul ecstatic and enthusiastically participated in the assessment, all wanting to get ahead.

The Ming Dynasty pays attention to blood relations, both the son-in-law and the concubine are part of the family, and usually the concubine will also get a piece of property when the family is divided.

However, the Korean Kingdom was different, and the distinction between the concubines and concubines in the Joseon Kingdom was extremely strict, and men and women of different classes could not marry each other, and if a man of a lower class married a woman of a higher class, he was guilty of abduction, and the marriage was null and void.

If a woman of a lower class wants to marry a man of a higher class, she can generally only be a concubine but not a wife, and the wife cannot be upheld after her death, with very few exceptions.

For example, Jung Lanzhen, one of the "Four Great Demon Girls" in Korean history, was born as a concubine, and when her husband's main room died, she was finally promoted to the main wife by the then Queen Wending, and was named Mrs. Yipin Zhenjing.

The reason why Chung Lan-jung wanted to become a wife in every possible way was because the Joseon Kingdom had a "mother-by-mother law" that had been handed down since the Goryeo period, that is, the social class in which children inherited their mothers, with the exception of children of the royal family or clan.

This is also the reason why in the Kingdom of Joseon, a man of a lower class marrying a woman of a higher class was convicted of abduction, and the marriage was invalid, and the status of a woman determined the identity of future generations.

According to the Korean "subordinate mother law", the children of concubines who are not from the royal family or clan are expected to serve their father, father's main family, and siblings as their masters.

If the concubine's mother is of pariahish origin, then her status in the family is equivalent to that of a slave maid, and she is not even qualified to call the male master "father", but can only be called "adult".

This is very incredible in the eyes of the Ming people's family, the Ming Dynasty attaches more importance to the bloodline, pays attention to brothers, friends and brothers, rather than because of the difference in identity to separate the brothers, many rich people are married to multi-room concubines to spread branches and leaves, and reproduce.

Compared with the sons in law of the two classes of nobles, those concubines are more enthusiastic about participating in the martial arts examination, after all, those sisters-in-law can directly enter the officialdom as officials with the shade of their fathers, and they can only get ahead by fighting themselves.

The reason why Li Hongyu set aside half of the places for the children of the two classes of nobles in the newly formed Korean army was naturally to appease those two classes of nobles in North Korea.

Although the Korean Kingdom has a "subordinate mother's law", the concubine is also the blood of the two classes of nobles after all, which is enough to represent the interests of the two classes of nobles in Korea.

In the middle of the month, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin finally finished the martial arts examination and placed the newly recruited martial arts lifters in the military camp of the Ming Forbidden Army in Seoul.

This time, a total of 400 children were admitted to Wuju Enke, two classes of noble children and two hundred commoner children.

Don't look at these martial arts examiners already have a martial arts reputation, but if you want to think of the newly formed Korean Legion, then you must pass training, and those who pass can enter the Korean Legion, and those who fail will not be able to serve.

After the martial arts enke, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and the rest of the things were much easier, and the instructors arranged by Li Hongyu would train those martial arts officers, and the training of the officers of the new army had already formed a complete system over the years.

That's right, Li Hongyu wants to build the Korean Army according to the new army, and only by making the Korean Army have strong enough combat effectiveness can Houjin block the west of the Yalu River.

That night, Li Hongyu was busy in his room making a training plan for those martial arts lifters, and since the situation in North Korea was different from that of the Ming Dynasty, the training plan had to be adjusted appropriately.

This matter naturally fell on him, and the training plan of the Ming New Army was formulated by Li Hongyu, and others could not consider him so thoroughly and delicately.

"Brother Li, I'm busy after eating."

With a creak, the door was pushed open, Zhao Xin walked in with a food box, and said with a smile after putting the food in the food box on the table, Li Hongyu didn't go to dinner because he was too busy.

"You're here at the right time, I'm a little hungry." Li Hongyu lazily stretched his waist when he heard this, walked over and picked up a steaming steamed bun, and said with a smile after taking a bite.

"Wash your hands first." Zhao Xin smiled slightly and brought Li Hongyu a basin of hot water.

Li Hongyu washed his hands obediently, and then ate dinner with relish, Zhao Xin sat on the side with a smile, she liked to watch Li Hongyu eat in a big gulp, these meals were all made by her.

Since Li Hongyu did not bring Rou'er and others to North Korea this time, Zhao Xin has been taking care of his diet and daily life since he arrived in North Korea, and Li Hongyu is not polite and enjoys this treatment with peace of mind.

"Brother Li, I have a certain understanding of the king of Joseon during this time, and he seems to be a promising king." After Li Hongyu finished eating, Zhao Xin asked the maid to bring tea, handed Li Hongyu a cup and said.

According to the information obtained by Zhao Xin, Li Hui has made great efforts to make the country prosperous since he ascended the throne, implemented internal reforms to stabilize the people's livelihood, and promulgated the Datong Law to exempt the landless people from paying grain to the state, and only landlords must pay grain to the government.

Therefore, in Zhao Xin's view, the Datong Law is a revolutionary decree to relieve the poor and rest with the people.

What is clear, however, is that the promulgation of the Daedong Law and a series of reforms by Li Hui touched the interests of the two classes of Korean aristocracy.

This made Li Hui bear a lot of pressure for this, few kings could have this courage, even the Wanli Emperor chose to compromise with the civil official group on the issue of levying Liao salary, and adopted the policy of equal sharing between the north and the south.

"Li Hui is a good king, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time, he not only wants to get rid of the shortcomings of Korean society, but also wants to find a relationship between our Ming and Jiannu, so that now not only our Ming Dynasty does not like him, but those two classes in North Korea are also thinking about how to deal with him!"

Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, he knew that Zhao Xin felt sorry for Li Hui, and then sighed, "The two classes of nobles in North Korea are huge, and it is not easy for Li Hui to change the status quo!" ”

In fact, Li Hongyu admires Li Hui very much, it is not easy for Li Hui to go all the way to the present, and it is not easy to become the king of North Korea after many hardships and twists and turns.

Because Li Hui's father, Queen Yiren of Seonjo of Joseon, has been infertile, the candidate for the son of the prince is selected among the concubines.

Originally, Li Hui's own brother and the eldest son of Joseon Seonjo, Lin Haijun, was most likely to become the son of the world because of the rule of "establishing a successor and standing up", but unfortunately his bad deeds and notoriety were notorious.

But even so, the position of the prince of the world is not the turn of Li Hui, who is the second son, although Li Hui has a good character, a frugal style, and a popular behavior, otherwise it is impossible to get the support of the Korean courtiers to become the king of Joseon, but the most favored by Joseon Seonjo is the son of the Jin family of the concubine Jin.

Therefore, the position of the prince of the Joseon Kingdom has been vacant, and many ministers' requests for the canonization of the prince have been rejected by Seonjo of Joseon, who believes that it is too early to establish a prince, after all, it is possible to give birth to a son-in-law in the future, and then it is natural to establish a son-in-law as the son.

I'm afraid that what Joseon Seonjo wants most is to make Shinseong-kun the prince, which is very similar to Emperor Wanli.

However, the Renchen Rebellion that broke out in the twentieth year of Wanli changed the fate of Li Hui, and the Japanese army approached Seoul all the way after the 6th year.

Seeing that the fall of Joseon Badao was imminent, Seonjo of Joseon decided to divide the imperial court into two after consulting with the courtiers, that is, the "division of the dynasty and rule" of the Korean kingdom.

Some of them fled to Liaodong with Seonjo of Joseon across the Yalu River, while others stayed in Korea under the leadership of Li Hui, who was also made the prince of the king and had the right to regify state affairs.

Later, the Japanese who invaded Korea were defeated by the Ming army, and Linhaijun, who posed the greatest threat to Li Hui's throne, was captured by the Japanese, and Xinchengjun died of illness.

Unexpectedly, Queen Yiren, who has always cared for Li Hui, died of illness, and Queen Renmu, who succeeded as the concubine, gave birth to her son-in-law, Yongchang Dajun, and Li Hui's son did not have the consent of the Ming Dynasty, which made Joseon Seonjo want to change Yongchang Dajun as the son.

At this time, God helped Li Hui, and when Joseon Seonjo wanted to change the son, he died of illness, and it was rumored that the officials who supported Li Hui withheld the holy decree of Joseon Seonjo to re-establish Yongchang Dajun as the son, and then made Li Hui, who had the status of the son, succeed to the throne smoothly.

Li Hongyu felt that the reason why Li Hui was able to become the king of Joseon was that in addition to his luck in encountering the Japanese invasion of Korea, the rest of the things were the result of his careful management, and he was a rare talent.

If it is left in normal times, Li Hongyu will definitely want to make friends with people like Li Hui, but now that the interests of his family and country are involved, then he can only put the interests of his family and country first, maybe this is Li Hui's fate.
