With Jiang Hongli's central coordination of the old fritters, the original sharp contradictions between Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong of the Ming Army and the Chao ~ Xian side quickly 'softened' a lot.
In other words, the edges of both sides have been staggered, and they are no longer in the same plane.
However, Li Yuanqing's solution is really too 'appalling', and both sides must maintain a high degree of secrecy.
The next day, after a long day of hard tug-of-war, the two sides finally reached a temporary compromise starting early in the morning.
As we approach April, the weather in the peninsula begins to change, sometimes warm as spring, sometimes rainy and almost winter-like.
Today, it was rainy for a day and the weather was very cold.
But Yuan Changjun Li Jue didn't dare to have a moment to rest, and when he walked out of the Ming army camp, he directly put on his robe, and under the escort of more than a dozen personal guards, he rode straight to Jianghua Island overnight.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Temporary camp on Ganghwa Island.
Chao~ Xian Wang Li Liang stood under the eaves, looking at the continuous gloomy rain in the twilight, and his already gloomy face was several times more gloomy than the weather at this time.
Four days have passed since he learned that the main force of the Ming army was approaching Seoul and that he had sent a peace envoy.
It's a pity that in the past four days, there has still been no valuable news from the front, which makes Li Liang have a very bad premonition in his heart.
At this point, Li Liang couldn't wait to order Jin Zidian's dog miscellaneous corpses into thousands of pieces!
This bird miscellaneous feather, although he made a lot of contributions in the process of ascending the throne, but since he ascended the throne, this guy is really too arrogant.
At this time, it was for his own selfish interests that he Li Liang and the entire dynasty ~ Xian were brought closer to this abyss, which was almost irreversible, so how could Li Liang not hate him?
If Jin Zidian could appear in front of Li Liang at this time, Li Liang would definitely not hesitate to slash this dog traitor with his own hands.
It's a pity that Li Ju also understands very well that Jin Zidian has fallen into Li Yuanqing's hands at this time, and has become Li Yuanqing's biggest bargaining chip to threaten him.
This made Li Liang's heart very, very depressed, but he couldn't say it, so he could only send the evil fire in his heart to the palace maids and eunuchs around him.
In the past four days, seven eunuchs and three palace maids have been tragically killed with a rod.
"Hey......"
Looking at the gloomy sky overhead, Li Liang couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity.
This matter, if it is replaced by his unsuccessful uncle Guanghaijun Li Hui, maybe it doesn't have to be so complicated, as long as he kneels and begs for mercy, no matter how good the Ming Court is, it is impossible to be too embarrassed~ Xian.
But he is different.
As the saying goes, 'if the name is not right, the word is not good'.
In the third year of the Apocalypse, the coup d'Γ©tat in which he ascended the throne, although he was fooled by luck because of the turmoil in the Ming court at that time, Li Liang knew very well that because of this matter, he had offended too many people in the Ming court, and he had already committed public anger.
Don't say anything about others.
At that time, Yuan Keli, the former governor of Denglai, who was in charge of Chao~Xian affairs in the Ming court, expressed strong dissatisfaction with this matter.
Although Yuan Keli had already left class at this time, Li Liang knew that Li Yuanqing and Yuan Keli had a very close relationship, and at this time, he caught such a big trick as himself, how could he let himself be better?
Thinking of the end of the abolition of the throne, Li Liang almost felt like the end of the world!
Fortunately, his lowly uncle, Gwanghae-kun, had been blinded by his lime burn and exiled to Jeju Island.
Even if Li Yuanqing pulls Guanghaijun out again, this wasted person will no longer be able to become the king of Chao ~ Xian.
"Who will Li Yuanqing choose?"
A strong murderous intent suddenly flashed in Li Liang's heart!
He must not sit back any longer, he must take care of all those who can threaten his throne in advance.
Thinking about it, Li Liang was just about to recruit his henchmen and guards to give a lecture, when at this time, a eunuch suddenly screamed in front of him: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency Yuan Changjun is back, and I have something urgent to see you!" β
"Yuan Changjun?"
Li Liang was stunned for a moment, but he reacted for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Please!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The return of Li Jue, the former Changjun, disrupted Li Liang's plan, but it made him full of expectations for the future, but at the same time, Li Liang's heart was also raised to his throat, as if he was waiting for the judgment of fate.
"Minister Li Jue, I have seen the king."
In some dark and humble palaces, Li Jue hurriedly knelt down respectfully in front of Li Liang.
For this brother of his, Li Jue has a deep understanding. He's a hungry wolf who eats people and doesn't spit out bones.
In terms of etiquette, Li Jue never dared to be sloppy.
Seeing Li Jue's respectful attitude, Li Jue's heart also relaxed a little, and he forced out a smile and said, "Brother has worked hard." What do you think? What was the outcome of the trip? β
Li Jue couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw Li Liang's expression, "And Lao Tzu is well prepared, how can I let you catch the handle?" β
Busy and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the minister is fortunate not to be dishonored, and has reached a temporary compromise with Li Yuanqing of the Ming army, just wait for the king's decision, and the offensive of the Ming army can be resolved." β
"Oh?"
Li Ju was stunned for a moment, never expecting that he had prepared for the worst, but unexpectedly, Li Jue was able to solve this matter, and said happily: "Brother Chen, come quickly!" As long as Li Yuanqing is not too excessive, loneliness is acceptable! β
Li Jue hurriedly handed the document that had been prepared a long time ago to Li Ju respectfully.
Li Liang hurriedly looked at it quickly.
But after a while, his face had already turned the color of pig liver, and he couldn't help but throw the document book on the ground: "Li Yuanqing, this traitor, is really too deceitful, too deceitful!" β
Saying that, he looked at Li Jue like a vulture in a hurry, "Brother Chen, this condition, you~~, you dare to agree to Li Yuanqing?" That's hundreds of thousands! Could it be that you want to empty the entire Chao ~ Xian and give it to him Li Yuanqing? β
Li Jueden remembered Li Yuanqing's earnest teachings to him when he parted, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, "Fortunately, Li Shuai had the foresight to leave me a way back!" Otherwise, I'm afraid that I really want to get caught up with Li Liang's dog's miscellaneous! β
Li Jue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you calm your anger first!" This matter, this thing does look very big, but Li Shuai proposed several solutions for us. And when the king has heard this, it is not too late to make a decision. β
"Huh?"
Li Lianghu looked at Li Jue suspiciously, his face full of suspicion.
Li Jue hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, what Li Shuai means is that at this time, we can pay 50,000 Ding Nu first as the first batch of trading chips." The next 150,000 Ding women can be divided into several batches, and in the next ten years, they will be paid to Li Shuai in turn. This is called installment payment. β
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, Li Shuai also said that if Your Majesty allows it, he will buy our Jeju Island for three million taels of silver. If the king agrees to this matter, Li Shuai will allocate 200,000 stone grains and grass to our Chao~Xian to solve the urgent need of our Chao~Xian at this time. β
"Huh? Instalment? W-what is this? β
Li Yuhu looked at Li Jue suspiciously, "He, Li Yuanqing, would really be so kind?" β
Li Jue hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, pay in installments, which means that at this time, we only need to pay Li Shuai 50,000 Ding girls between the ages of thirteen and thirty, and Li Yuanqing will retire." But we have to sign the agreement. There is also the matter of Jeju Island, as long as the king signs and sells Jeju Island to Li Shuai, it can be worth three million taels of silver. In addition, Li Shuai will give us 200,000 stones of grain and grass to help us survive the food shortage crisis at this time. Moreover, after that~, as long as we give Li Shuai a batch of Ding girls, Li Shuai will give us a certain amount of food compensation for Chao~Xian. β
After Li Jue finished speaking, he hurriedly lowered his head humbly and did not say anything more.
Li Ju stared at Li Jue directly, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
If Li Jue said this, this matter is not unacceptable to him.
Fifty thousand Ding women, for Chao ~ Xian, is not a burden, but a relief.
The legacy of the Renchen Wars has not been lifted until now, which also makes the Chao ~ There are many boys and girls, and the population imbalance is very serious.
Large families buy girls, only need one or two taels of silver, you can buy a delicate and watery one, Li Yuanqing's side, a ten taels of silver, this bargaining chip, is definitely not low.
As for Jeju Island at this time, it is far from being comparable to Jeju Island in later generations.
At this time, Jeju Island was basically a wild place, with only a small population, although it was not small, but it was not much different from a desert island.
Three million taels of silver, this price is by no means low.
It's a pity~, this silver is from the top of the tent, and he can't see a cent at all, how can Li Liang accept it?
Isn't Li Yuanqing clearly trying to blackmail him?
But if Jeju Island is sold to Li Yuanqing, and you can get 200,000 stone of grain, this is by no means a small number for Li Liang at this time!
At the very least, it can allow him to sit on the throne smoothly.
Pity.
What he Li Liang wanted most, Li Yuanqing didn't say it, and besides, selling people and land, isn't it his Li Liang's loss of morality?
"It's too much of a deception! It's too deceitful! β
"I, Li Liang, would rather die in battle than bear the infamy of losing land and morality! Yuan Changjun, you dare to agree to Li Yuanqing's request, you~, what are your intentions? β
Li Ju finally couldn't hold back his anger, staring directly at Li Jue's eyes, as if he wanted to eat people.
But Li Jue had already prepared, and hurriedly said respectfully: "The king is angry." Before Li Shuai left, Li Shuai specially handed the minister a handwritten letter. Li Shuai said that if the king refused to agree to this, he asked the ministers to hand over the letter to the king. β
As he spoke, Li Jue hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Ju respectfully.
Li Ju was about to get angry, and wanted to reprimand Li Jue for daring to leave a hand on him, but when he saw that there was Li Yuanqing's seal of the chief soldier of Changsheng Island on the letter, he couldn't care about Li Jue, so he hurriedly opened it and checked it carefully.
But after a while, there was a slight change in his face~, and he stared at Li Jue's eyes and said, "What else does Li Shuai have to say?" β
Li Jue hurriedly said respectfully: "Back to the king, Li Shuaiyan, he is very welcome to you, you can go to Seoul and have a personal interview with him." β
