Chapter 70: Seoul Scenery
When they saw the river from afar, they knew that Seoul had arrived.
Zhu Houzhao knew that this river was called the Han River, because many ministers who had been to North Korea had told him about the customs of North Korea.
Zhu Houzhao knows that the prosperity of Seoul is because of this river,
When Zhu Houzhao climbed Nanshan and looked at Seoul in Jiangbei from afar, he looked at Mu Lan beside him and smiled,
"Lord, what are you laughing at?" Wind Swallow asked,
"You see that the feng shui here is very good, it is really a treasure land, no wonder their king chose this place as the capital." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Yes, there is a big river here, and the sea breeze blows, the climate is very good, the air is very good, it is very comfortable, I don't want to leave." Akiko said,
"But if you don't go, you have to go." Zhu Houzhao smiled,
At this time, they saw a person rushing towards them from a distance, and Zhu Hou took a look, it was Wang Ji,
When Wang Ji ran to Zhu Houzhao's approach, he gave Zhu Houzhao a kneeling peace, "Good lord." ”
Zhu Houzhao hurriedly asked him: 'Wang Ji, aren't you not allowed to kneel outside, your identity will be exposed if you are seen, you get up.' ”
"Okay, thank you." Wang Ji got up,
Zhu Houzhao then asked him: "Wang Ji, what is the situation of you following that person for the past few days, where did he come from, and what major conspiracy he has, have you figured it out?" ”
"Back to the master, I have followed that person for the past few days, and I have basically figured out some of his situation," Wang Ji said.
"Well, you can say it quickly." Zhu Houzhao said,
"That man's name is Kim Chang-sung, and he is a guest in the house of King Chengmu, the brother of the King of Joseon, and the place where he lives now is the house of King Sungmu." Wang Ji said,
"Oh, so he hasn't been active in the past few days." Zhu Houzhao asked,
"After I recently tracked down his residence, I also entered King Chengwu's mansion to inquire a few times, this Jin Changcheng was always called by King Chengwu to discuss something together, and often discussed at night, as if he was in a hurry." Wang Ji said,
"Oh, did you ever think to find out what they were planning?" Zhu Houzhao asked,
"Because I didn't get specific instructions to find out, and I was worried that I didn't understand Korean and wouldn't understand it, so I didn't go close to listen, but this Kim Chang-sung went to the army on the edge of Seoul yesterday and called the leader of the guards brothers, and he seemed to be very enthusiastic." Wang Ji said,
"And that sort of thing." Zhu Houzhao knew that this matter was not so simple, generally the prince who was a member of the royal family could not contact the army, if he was contacting the army, he must have a plan.
Zhu Houzhao thought, what is this King Chengwu plotting?
Zhu Houzhao repeatedly thought about Jin Changcheng's intentions, he thought that this person first spread the news of the Ming Emperor's draft everywhere, did this mean that he wanted to disgrace the current Korean king, and make the Koreans feel that this king was very weak and a national disgrace, and then let King Chengwu naturally replace him,
The will to replace him has been realized, and the rest is force, and if you can contact the Guards, of course, it will be the fastest,
As long as the guards can enter the palace, it will be replaced smoothly, because after all, it is the son of the first king, if King Chengwu ascends the throne, those ministers will not say anything, at this time, if this King Chengwu makes friends like Wang Mang on weekdays, it is estimated that many ministers still support King Chengwu in their hearts.
It must be like this, Zhu Houzhao remembered that he had heard of the virtuous name of King Chengwu when he was in China, and said that King Chengwu was very sensible since he was a child, respected his father very much, and was very good to his brothers and sisters, and then built a lot of Confucian academies in North Korea, the most famous Hanyang Academy was built by him, and that academy once invited many Confucian scholars from the Central Plains to give lectures, and it was also very prosperous in North Korea.
Now it seems that everything is to lay the foundation for his rebellion and seizure of the throne,
Zhu Houzhao shook his head, he wondered why such a thing would happen anywhere, couldn't those people live if they didn't fight for power?
"Wang Ji, you continue to inquire about the news and try to get their detailed date, we are also in a hurry to return to Beijing, it is best to do this matter quickly." Zhu Houzhao said,
Zhu Hou looked at Seoul in the distance, he was thinking about what he should do,
This Korean king is actually very loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and often writes to himself to say hello.
Although he is young, this king used to have a good relationship with his father, so he has always had a good impression of him.
If this King Chengwu succeeds in seizing the throne, in fact, it is said that it is nothing for the Ming Dynasty, and it is estimated that King Chengwu will explain to himself in a book after seizing the throne.
And then if it is a fait accompli, he can only approve it, because what can he do if he does not approve, he is already a king, the previous king is dead, can he still pull the dead back to be the king,
Unless this person really did too much evil, he sent troops to fight, and finally supported the relatives of the former king to ascend the throne,
Now in order to seize the throne, King Chengwu did not hesitate to fabricate the news of his draft, causing discord between the people of Daming and North Korea.
"Let's wait a few days and see how this is handled." Zhu Houzhao was talking to himself,
"Yes, I need to give the king a message now." The swallow in the wind said,
"Wait and see how things go further." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Let's go, girls, let's go shopping in the city." Zhu Houzhao said,
Seoul, when they came into the city, "Wow, it's so lively here." ”
Akiko shouted at once,
"Yes, the scenery of Seoul is very good." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Come, everyone, come and see, there are a lot of good things here." Mingzi was shouting, she saw a lot of good things, the handiwork of the North Koreans was originally very good, and some of the gadgets made were simply lovely.
Zhu Houzhao and the other two laughed,
Mu Lan is not so relaxed at the moment, her habit is to seem to go shopping casually, but her eyes can't help but look around, looking for suspicious signs in the careless scanning, after all, for her, Zhu Houzhao's safety is the first,
In fact, the same is true for the swallow in the wind, she learned Mu Lan's habits with Mu Lan at the beginning,
At this moment, she is also casually scanning with her eyes in the other direction,
Zhu Houzhao knows what they are doing, because there are many people here, so it's better to be careful.
It's just that Mingzi doesn't know.,She's very simple and keeps choosing good things on the street.,While choosing, she called the other two people to help her see.,
At this time, Zhu Houzhao saw the person named Jin Yinan behind him,
The man kept following him, and as soon as he turned around, he hid behind the house on the side of the street.
Zhu Houzhao smiled in his heart, he pretended to be unaware and continued to choose those good things with Mingzi,
"Mingzi, let's go find the inn first, and then come out and buy it, otherwise it's very tiring to go to the inn with a lot of things." Moulin said,
"Okay, I'll be optimistic first, we'll choose after we stay, okay, Sister Mulan, you have to accompany me." Akiko said,
"Okay, I will accompany you, you are so cute, like a porcelain doll, I will definitely accompany you, don't worry." Moulin said,
"You're teasing me, Sister Mullan." Akiko laughed,
They strolled all the way, and when they came to a very large inn with "Longxiang Inn" written on it, Zhu Houzhao stopped,
"Or live here, that's a good name." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Superstition." Mu Lan whispered,
was still heard by Zhu Houzhao, "Haha, this is not superstition, it is auspicious." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Haha, if you see a store called You Dragon and Phoenix, I'm afraid you like it even more." Moulin said,
Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes for a while,
