At noon, the living room in the backyard of the State Guest House.

Li Hui sat on the chair with some trepidation, a group of subordinates served the dishes in an orderly manner, and soon filled a table of eight immortals in the living room, it seemed that Li Hongyu was going to feast Li Hui to give him a surprise.

Although Li Hui and his son Li Qi had been taken back to the guest house by the Ming soldiers safe and sound, Li Hui had always been uneasy, and he always felt inexplicably flustered before Li Hongyu did not open his mouth to support him.

The reason why this is naturally because of Li Hui's ambiguous attitude towards Houjin, if he had fought against Houjin with a clear banner before, then naturally don't worry about it now, Li Hongyu will definitely support him and arrest Li Kun and other traitors.

But the key is that Li Hui adopted a policy of neutrality between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin, which must have angered the Ming Dynasty and made Li Hongyu feel dissatisfied, and Li Hui's attitude was obviously to fight against the Houjin.

Therefore, Li Hui has no bottom in his heart now, and he doesn't know what choice Li Hongyu will make.

"Lord Li, Lord Zhao." Just when Li Hui was uneasy, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin walked in, and he hurriedly got up to greet him.

"King Joseon, I was frightened by what happened last night, please take a seat." Li Hongyu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the wine table that had already set up the banquet, and motioned for Li Hui to sit down.

Where did Li Hui dare to sit first, and only after Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin sat down did he sit down nervously, and for a while he didn't know what the smiling Li Hongyu would do with his affairs.

"King Joseon, there are only three of us here today, so we have to get to know each other again."

Li Hongyu knew that Li Hui didn't have the intention of drinking now, so he pointed to Zhao Xin, who was sitting beside him, and said to Li Hui, "This is the deputy envoy of the Ming Mission, and the Zhao scholar of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"He's the deputy envoy of the Ming Dynasty?" Li Hui didn't have the slightest psychological preparation, and when he heard this, he was stunned and looked at Zhao Xin, looking a little incredulous for a while, Zhao Xin had always appeared as a liaison officer.

"King of Joseon." Zhao Xin smiled slightly and gestured to Li Hui.

"Then you are ......" Soon, Li Hui came back to his senses and looked at Li Hongyu in dismay, if even Zhao Xin, the deputy envoy, could only sit at the bottom of the wine table, then Li Hongyu's identity would be self-evident.

"This official is the envoy of the Ming Mission this time, a scholar of the Ming Zuo Chunfang University!" Li Hongyu's face turned pale, and he said solemnly to Li Hui.

"You're a scholar of Lee, and the one who patrolled the place before was ......"

Li Hui's mind suddenly went blank when he heard this, and suddenly he couldn't believe the fact in front of him, which means that Li Hongyu used a stand-in, and the Ming envoys who went to inspect the place were fake!

"King of Joseon, before the envoy came to Korea, he heard some bad rumors about the relationship between you and Jiannu, so for the sake of prudence, this envoy can only use this method to ensure safety, and at the same time, it is also convenient to secretly investigate."

Li Hongyu looked at Li Hui with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice, "According to the investigation of this envoy these days, although you have secretly had dealings with Jiannu, you have not yet made a move to betray my Daming, otherwise you would not be here today." ”

Li Hui's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and cold sweat couldn't help but ooze on his forehead, he subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he saw Li Hongyu's deep gaze, he couldn't help but give up this idea, it was obvious that Li Hongyu had made a detailed investigation, what he said was the truth, and it was not wise to quibble at this time.

"King of Korea, the envoy can understand your thoughts, and wants to avoid intervening in the war between the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu to preserve your strength, but have you thought about it, when the Japanese invaded Korea, your North Korea almost perished, and it was my Ming who did his best to rescue at all costs, and this is what you saved from danger!"

Seeing that Li Hui was silent, Li Hongyu looked at him with a solemn expression and continued, "You can think that the Ming Dynasty sent troops for its own interests to avoid the Japanese people from posing a threat to the Ming Dynasty on the Korean Peninsula, but the Ming Dynasty did not take the opportunity to annex your North Korea at that time, which is enough to show that the Ming Dynasty still has brotherhood, and it is not just a relationship of interests!" ”

Li Hui suddenly looked ashamed when he heard this, Li Hongyu was right, the Ming Dynasty could completely annex Korea after defeating the Japanese people, and the Korean people would like to become the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Historically, during the period of the Yongle Emperor, due to the rebellion in the Annan Kingdom, the king who was canonized by the Ming Dynasty was killed by the rebels, so the Yongle Emperor ordered the southern expedition to Annam, and after defeating the rebels of the Annan Kingdom, he accepted the Annan Kingdom as the political envoy of Jiaozhi, becoming the fourteenth political envoy of the Ming Dynasty.

It is a pity that the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty did not pay enough attention to Jiaozhi at that time, only the officials above the prefect were appointed by the imperial court, and the rest of the officials were recruited from Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty can also accept Korea as a political envoy, so that the Korean royal family will lose its former privileges and glory, but the Ming Dynasty, who paid a great price, withdrew after defeating the Japanese people, which has to be said to be a benevolent and righteous move.

And North Korea also benefited a lot from this war, so that the Japanese state, which had been greatly damaged, did not dare to covet North Korea for more than 200 years.

"King of Joseon, this envoy consulted some historical materials before coming, when the northern border of Korea was founded, there was no Yalu River, and now most of Hamgyong Province and Pyongan Province are the guards of the Ming Dynasty, including the Jianju Guard, where the ancestors of Jiannu are located."

Li Hongyu knew that Li Hui could not defend himself, so he pondered for a while and said, "The Ming Dynasty has never recognized the rule of North Korea in those areas of Hamgyong Province and Pyongan Province, but it has never expressed punishment, and the reason why this is so is for the sake of Korea being the brotherly country of the Ming Dynasty, but what you have done is really chilling." ”

"Lord Envoy, Xiao Wang is at fault, regret not being at the beginning!"

Li Hui couldn't sit still anymore when he heard this, got up and bowed to Li Hongyu, bowed his hand, and apologized, his face was full of shame, and now he has completely believed in Li Hongyu's identity, it is obvious that Li Hongyu will not joke about the Ming envoys, you must know that this is a crime of bullying the king, which is not tolerated by the Ming Emperor.

"King of Joseon, you must already know that because you have illusions about Jiannu, the Ming Dynasty is ready to abolish your throne and let the prince succeed you."

Li Hongyu looked at Li Hui and said with a serious expression, "But now it seems that the prince will not be able to succeed to the throne, and after what happened last night, the prince is already difficult to convince the public." ”

"Lord Envoy, Xiao Wang just made up with the barbarians, hoping that they would not attack North Korea, and did not collude with them to betray the Ming Dynasty, let alone dare to harm the Ming Mission, everything was made up by Ayayang-kun?"

Li Hui was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly opened his mouth to defend that all his hopes now were placed on the body of the prince Li Zhen, so he naturally did not want Li Zhen to lose his qualification to succeed to the throne.

"King of Joseon, even though Ayayang Jun was not in a thousand ways in last night's incident, but he strongly advocated against Jiannu, and now our Ming army is confronting Jiannu in Liaoxi, do you say that Daming will choose you or him?"

Li Hongyu stared at the emotional Li Hui for a while, and then asked word by word.

This made Li Hui's face change suddenly, yes, although he was the orthodox king of Korea canonized by the Ming Dynasty, but he was very close to the Later Jin, which was bound to cause dissatisfaction in the Ming Dynasty.

Now Li Liang has rebelled on the grounds that he colluded with Houjin to try to murder the Ming Mission, although it violates legal ethics, but from the perspective of protecting the Ming Mission, it seems understandable, the key is to see whether the Ming Mission believes Li Liang.

From Li Hongyu's words, Li Hui realized that Li Hongyu was on Li Liang's side, maybe Li Liang's actions last night were tacitly approved by Li Hongyu, which was like a bolt from the blue for him.

"The king of Joseon, this envoy now gives you two choices, one option is that you are not strict under control, which leads to the subordinates colluding with Jiannu privately, trying to betray the Ming Dynasty and murder the Ming Mission, so Chan is located in Ayayang Jun, and the prince lives in the capital of the Ming Dynasty and enjoys the courtesy of the King of Joseon."

Since Li Hongyu has already expressed his attitude, there is no need to hide some things anymore, so he said to Li Hui in a deep voice, "The second choice is for the envoy to announce that you colluded with Jiannu and attempted to murder the Ming Mission, not only will you be executed, but the prince will also be implicated, and you will decide for yourself." ”

"Your Excellency, does Xiao Wang have any other choice?"

Li Hui suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this, he had no other way out except the first choice, not only to keep his reputation, but also to have the honor of the Supreme King, which was already the best destination.

"Now that the business has been said, then let's go to the private matter, King Joseon, come, let's have this drink."

Li Hongyu smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass in front of him and said to Li Hui, what happened in North Korea is not only related to North Korea but also involves the Ming Dynasty, so it must be handled carefully.

Obviously, instead of the coup d'état and seizure scandal in North Korea, it is better for Li Hui to take the initiative to settle in Li Liang, so that not only will it sound much better, but also ensure the stability of North Korea.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Li Hui hurriedly picked up the wine glass with both hands, touched it with Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, and drank it all, although the wine was sweet, it was extremely bitter in his mouth.

But then again, Li Hongyu treated him better than Li Qi to him, at least he and his son Li Qi saved their lives and could go to the capital of Daming to enjoy their old age.

After the banquet, Li Hui, who was full of alcohol, was helped down, walking with his legs and feet a little floating, and it seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine.

The reason why Li Hui drank so much wine that he was a little out of shape was naturally the result of a depressed mood, and the throne he had finally gotten was gone, which was uncomfortable for anyone.

"Ayayang-kun's coup d'état has been planned for a long time, if we are not here, I'm afraid Li Hui's fate will be miserable."

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin are two wine baskets, so although the two of them drank a lot with Li Hui but nothing at all, Zhao Xin looked at Li Hui's extremely lonely back, and said to Li Hongyu with regret, "It's a pity, he is a talent who governs national politics." ”

"From the moment he decided to fight between the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu, his defeat was already doomed, and the whole of North Korea supported the Ming Dynasty, and he was already alone."

Li Hongyu felt the same way, shook his head and said, "If he had been born decades earlier, maybe it wouldn't have been this kind of ending." ”

Historically, after Li Ju's rebellion succeeded, he deposed Li Hui's throne in the name of Queen Renmu, burned his eyes with lime, and then exiled to Ganghwa Island with the princess Liu, but they could not see each other in different places, but Li Ju asked Ren Zhaoyuan to accompany the blind Li Hui.

Li Qi, the son of the king, was exiled to Qiaotong Island, and two months later, Li Qi tried to dig a hole in the ground to escape, and was killed by Li Qi, making Li Hui extinct. In October of the same year, Princess Liu also died of illness.

According to records, when Gwanghae-jun was escorted to Ganghwa Island by Yi Shi, who was the judge of the Seoul government, he was miserable all the way, and the people who witnessed this scene were all moved.

In addition to being close to Houjin, Li Hui is a good king, and he is also kind to the people when he is in office, and the people naturally appreciate his favor.

It is worth mentioning that after Li Hui was deposed, Queen Renmu's hatred for him was hard to eliminate, and in addition to abolition and teaching, he issued 36 charges, adding charges such as angry death of Xuanzu and ** father and concubine.

Not only that, Queen Renmu also added the content of "early punishment to thank the people" in her recital to the Ming Dynasty, trying to ask the Ming Dynasty to execute Li Hui, but was persuaded by Li Yuanyi, the leader of the government, which shows her hatred for Li Hui.

And the reason why Li Hui was able to live to the fourteenth year of Chongzhen was not that Queen Renmu and Li Ju did not want to kill him, but that the Ming court asked Li Hui about his life and death many times, which made the people in power in North Korea quite jealous and unable to kill him.

However, a blind old man has lived alone for nearly twenty years, which must be worse than death.
