In the last years of Wanli, Jianguo rose up, constantly harassing and attacking the northeast border of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty suddenly discovered the importance of North Korea's strategic position, so it began to win over North Korea, hoping that North Korea and the Ming Dynasty would send troops to attack Jianyu together.

Gwanghaejun Li Hun, who was in charge of the state affairs of Joseon, took the opportunity to request him to be canonized as the king of Joseon again.

Prior to this, such a recital had been proposed by the DPRK twelve times, but all of them were rejected by the Ming court.

And this time, the Ming court, which was planning to pacify the Jianju, finally agreed to the Korean request, taking into account the strategic needs of the Liaodong operation.

Gwanghaejun Li Hui finally became the king of Joseon, but his resentment against Daming did not ease much.

In the forty-sixth year of Wanli, when the Battle of Salhu began, North Korea sent Marshal Jiang Hongli, Deputy Marshal Han Run, and others to lead the army as promised, and cooperated with the Ming army to attack Hetuara from the rear, but on the other hand, it communicated with Nuerha Chi secretly with the news.

North Korea's duplicitous approach not only revealed the news of the Ming army's march to Jianlu, so that Jianguo could prepare in advance, but also hesitated on the bank of the Yalu River, resulting in the annihilation of the Ming army along the way of the general Liu Ling, and Liu Ling's death in battle.

Although the greater responsibility for the battle of Salhu lies with Yang Hao, the small actions of Guanghaijun and Li Hui during the period also helped Jianyu's side a lot.

Of course, Li Hui's riding and swinging between Jianyu and Daming is tantamount to laying a disaster for himself.

Because the Ming Dynasty has a great grace to North Korea, so the Korean clan and officials are grateful to the Ming Dynasty, Li Hui because he was personally treated by the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, and made some ungrateful actions to try to deviate from the Ming Dynasty, which soon attracted the dissatisfaction of the old school of the Korean clan.

In addition, he was suspected of killing his brother and brother, and even killing his father, and he was not the heart of the civil officials of the Shilin faction, but at this time, he swayed left and right between the Ming Dynasty and Jianyu, and was ungrateful, so it caused strong dissatisfaction among the civil officials of the Shilin faction.

As the so-called cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant, what you sow will reap what you reap, and no one can escape this law of cause and effect.

It is said that in the third year of the Apocalypse, the war broke out again between the Ming Dynasty and Jianlu, and the Ming Dynasty ordered North Korea to send troops again, and Li Hui sent his cronies Marshal Jiang Hongli and Deputy Marshal Han Run to collect and lead the North Korean army to the bank of the Yalu River, and continued to take a wait-and-see attitude.

As a result, not long after Jiang Hongli and Han Yun led their troops to the banks of the Yalu River, a coup d'état took place in Seoul.

Li Liang and some of the clan elders who supported him, as well as some Shilin civil officials, only led a few hundred people, and successfully rushed into the Qingyun Palace, arrested Li Hui and his sons, and blinded Li Hui's eyes with quicklime, and then sent him to Ganghwa Island to be imprisoned.

Li Hui became the king of Korea for fifteen years, but he had no name in the history of Korea, only the title of Gwanghaejun.

After the coup d'état of Gyeongun Palace, the then 28-year-old Yi Liang ascended to the throne of the Joseon king with the support of his ministers.

When the news of the successful coup d'état reached the Liaodong Army, Jiang Hongli and Han Run immediately surrendered to Jianyu with tens of thousands of troops that had been gathered with great difficulty.

A few years later, in the spring of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Jiang Hongli and Han Run, with the Korean soldiers under their command who had shaved their hair and braided and became naturalized Jurchens, became the leading party and the vanguard of the Later Jin conquest of Korea.

Li Liang, who successfully came to power after the Qingyun Palace Change, thought that he had defeated the unpopular Guanghai Jun Li Hui, and the Ming Dynasty would quickly canonize him, but he was wrong.

Similar to Li Hui's experience, although Li Liang was very pro-Ming, the stubbornness of the Ming court officials was not something he could imagine.

After the coup d'état in North Korea, Mao Wenlong quickly sent someone to figure out the situation, he thought that Li Ju was very pro-Ming, and it would be beneficial for the Ming Dynasty to replace Li Hui, so he supported the North Korean side to write to the court and canonize Li Ju as king.

However, the Ming court at that time hesitated and hesitated, and still only gave Li Liang the title of having the right to handle Korean state affairs, and insisted on refusing to recognize Li Liang's status.

In the following years, the Korean envoys traveled back and forth between Seoul and Denglai many times, repeatedly asking to see Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, and finally said that Yuan Keli supported Li Liang's throne.

At the beginning of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Yuan Ke, the governor of Denglai, wrote a letter asking the imperial court to canonize Li Liang, who had the authority to handle Korean state affairs, as the king of Joseon, and the Ming court finally agreed.

This is the tortuous origin of the throne of Yi Liang, the king of Joseon.

During the years when the Ming Dynasty hesitated to canonize Li Liang as the official king, Li Liang also experienced another coup d'état against him.

A very important reason for the coup d'état was that he was not canonized by the Ming court for a long time, which made some clan lords and civil officials think that his throne was not legitimate.

It is precisely because of these complex reasons that today's Li Liang has an extremely complicated attitude towards the Ming Dynasty.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the Later Jin invaded Korea, and finally the troops came to the city, Li Liang agreed to hand over the main war faction ministers of North Korea, and then called the ministers of the Later Jin State to pay tribute, and sat back and watched those ministers who wanted to be Ming Dynasty beheaded and executed, which reflected these complex mentalities.

Of course, Li Liang, who is now sitting in the Renzheng Hall of Changdeokgong Palace waiting for the arrival of the Great Tomorrow's envoy, is most entangled in his heart not with the various entanglements with the Ming Dynasty in the past, but the great change in the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards North Korea now.

What kind of person is Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty now? How could he treat North Korea with some unheard-of law of the jungle to deal with the suzerain-vassal relationship between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea?

Li Qi couldn't understand what went wrong, why did North Korea's situation become so difficult and sinister all of a sudden?

Japan in the east is fighting the idea of Korea, and the Jianyu in the northwest is also in the idea of Korea, and the Great Ming Dynasty, which once saved Korea from peril, has actually begun to attack the idea of Korea!

Could it be that this world has really changed, and it has really become the kind of jungle infested with tigers and wolves that the Ming Emperor said?

The news that Yin Xuan brought back made Li Liang, who has always been praised as a young man, feel a kind of helplessness and desolation in his heart for the first time.

Looking around North Korea, he couldn't find a force that North Korea could rely on except for continuing to rely on the Ming Dynasty.

The desperation of the last king of Joseon, Yi Hee, when he faced the Japanese approach, now appeared in the heart of Yi Jung, who was later known as King Injo of Joseon.

However, compared with Li Xi two hundred and eighty years later, the Ming Dynasty at this time was not Japan at that time, and Li Ju at this time was not really cornered.

As long as he agreed to the request of the Ming Dynasty, the Joseon royal family would not only be able to perpetuate the country, but also be replaced by the descendants of his Li Kun.

But how could he agree to Da Ming's request?

Jeju Island doesn't matter, after all, it is isolated overseas, there are not many people, and it does not bring much tax, and it is not important to the mainland of North Korea.

But Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province are different, it is the mainland of North Korea, and it is the land inherited by the current Lee Joseon from the hands of the Wang Goryeo, if it is discarded in his own hands, how much infamy will he have to bear in the future?!

However, the Holy Decree of the Ming Emperor has been issued, not to mention that he is a small North Korea, the country is small and the people are weak, and he has suffered wars one after another, and even Houjin Jianyu can't resist it, how can he fight against the Ming army that has just won the Jianyu?

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is the suzerainty of North Korea, and the Korean courtiers have served the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

Li Liang was sitting in the hall of benevolence, silent, but the rolling waves in his heart did not stop for a moment!

Jiang Yueguang could imagine Li Liang's thoughts, but he would not give any sympathy.

Because this sympathy had already been dissipated in the negotiations with the Korean envoys as early as the time of Jingshi.

The Ming Dynasty did not sympathize with any weak people, nor did it expect the sympathy of any strong people.

In Jiang Yueguang's heart, he more and more agreed with the emperor's statement that this world is a world of the jungle, and it follows the law of the jungle.

Therefore, unlike when he was on his first mission to Korea, he didn't care what Li Liang thought, because he only cared about one thing at this time, that is, to carry out the will of the Ming Emperor and complete his mission no matter what.
