Chapter 803: Declaration
"Your Excellency the Chief Mediator, it is a great honor to meet you!"
When Li Wanyong met Chiang Kai-shek, he still used the title of "adult".
"Sit down." Chiang Kai-shek was not as fierce as he imagined, but on the contrary, he was very kind: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister."
As soon as the words came out, Li Wanyong hurriedly said: "No, no, I am no longer the prime minister of the cabinet, please don't call me that." ”
"Ah, that's one." Chiang Kai-shek smiled faintly, and did not force anything: "I heard that Mr. Li's calligraphy is very good, I don't know when I will have the opportunity to give Zhongzheng a pair of characters."
Li Wanyong said a few more humble words.
Chiang Kai-shek kept chatting with him, but all he turned over and over were some inconsequential words, and he didn't mention anything about business, which also made Li Wanyong completely confused.
After chatting for an hour, Li Wanyong couldn't help it, and if he didn't talk about it, then it would be useless for him to see Chiang Kai-shek this time. Taking advantage of Chiang Kai-shek's finished finishing a piece of Korean history, Li Wanyong hurriedly said:
"Mr. Chief Mediator, I think you must have known the news of the announcement of the traitor list this time, right?"
Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "Yes, I already know, and I am very sorry that Mr. Li is the first on the list of so-called traitors."
He especially emphasized the word "so-called", which immediately attracted Li Wanyong's attention, and immediately became excited: "Yes, I think this is unfair, the original situation should be very special, the Japanese controlled everything in Korea, and even threatened the emperor Yi. No, for the sake of His Majesty's life, for the sake of the future of Korea and the life of His Majesty, I have no choice but to compromise and sign the treaty."
Is there a more shameless person in the world? Chiang Kai-shek thought in his heart.
But he didn't show any unhappiness on his face, and he always listened to what Li Wanyong said with a smile
"Actually, the more important reason is that His Majesty the King personally authorized me to handle the signing of the first contract with the Japanese."
"Mother, can you be more shameless?"
Suddenly, Chiang Kai-shek's roar interrupted Lee's words. Li Wanyong was taken aback and looked at Chiang Kai-shek at a loss.
Angry, Chiang Kai-shek scolded in the native dialect of his hometown: "I have seen a lot of shameless people, but I have never seen anyone more shameless than you." A traitor, a North Korean, actually described himself as a patriot, a hero. And shift all the blame to others! Can you be a little more shameless? ”
The translator worked hard to translate Chiang Kai-shek's words completely, and Li Wanyong, who was still talking there, suddenly shuddered.
Chiang Kai-shek angrily pointed at Li Wanyong and said: "People like you should be killed!" It's not enough to kill 10,000 heads, you should hang your body on the top of Seoul so that everyone can see the fate of being a traitor! ”
Li Wanyong was completely stupefied. He had no idea that the chief mediator, who had always behaved very kindly, would suddenly burst into such anger.
"I'm one. Total one." Li Wanyong couldn't say a word.
"Reflect on yourself." Unexpectedly, after losing his temper, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly dispersed as if nothing had happened before, and his tone became calm again: "You must do a good job of introspection and introspection, and if you do something wrong, you must admit that the 'Korea-Japan Merger Treaty was signed in your hands, and now your people in Korea are very angry, and most of them are in favor of exterminating your family, and it is difficult for me to protect you."
A sound of "plopping" came, and the interpreter looked curiously, it was Li Wanyong who fell to his knees...,
The former Prime Minister of the DPRK burst into tears: "My lord, my lord, I really had no way back then, there was really no way!" It's not a pity for me to die when I'm old, but please save my family, I'm willing to do whatever you want me to do, I beg you, my lord! ”
At this moment, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly felt the happiness of Yuan Shikai and the huge power in his hands!
"Get up, get up." Chiang Kai-shek put on a kind expression again: "I personally want to protect you, but I have to face the entire Korean people, and it is very difficult to do it.
At this time, Li Wanyong was not at all relieved by Chiang Kai-shek's "kindness", and God knows what the chief mediator would do next.
Chiang Kai-shek suddenly asked: "Mr. Li, do you say that the king is better or the provisional government is better?" ”
"This" could not figure out what the Chinese wanted to do, and Li Wanyong did not know how to answer for a while.
"I think the existence of the king is still necessary." Chiang Kai-shek did not need him to answer, and said to himself: "Those people in the provisional government, who are intriguing all day long, come to me every day to make trouble, and make me very annoyed.
"Yes, yes." Li Wanyong didn't dare to say anything against it at this moment.
Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly: "That's it, if you want to keep you, you have to think of some names." You will take the lead in drafting a declaration of support for the king, and as long as Lee can become king again, you will have the merit of support, and it will be much easier for us to speak for you."
Li Wan perked up his spirits and immediately said: "Please rest assured, the chief mediator, tomorrow, no, I will go back now to contact the righteous people who support the king from all sides and draft a declaration!" ”
"Okay, okay, let's do it right away." Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile.
Concerning the lives of himself and his family, Li Wanyong did not dare to slack off in the slightest. As soon as he returned home, he quickly called the top few on the list of traitors, explained the matter in general, and then said:
"Whether you and I can save our lives depends on whether we can fulfill the requirements of the chief mediator, ladies and gentlemen, this is a time of life and death."
More than a dozen North Koreans looked at each other, and they all knew that the stakes were high, and they immediately expressed their willingness to do what Li Wanyong said.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Wanyong's heart also relaxed.
Although the personalities of these people are inferior, they still have some literary talents. It doesn't take long for a flowery article to come out.
In the article, he talked about the importance of the existence of a king in Korea, and emphasized that all parties in North Korea must be united around King Lee of North Korea and jointly govern North Korea.
Li Wanyong is a smart man after all, and he adds a large paragraph at the end of the article, which is nothing more than how the Chinese government attaches importance to the traditional friendship between China and North Korea, how it allows its soldiers to shed their blood for the independence, democracy and freedom of Korea, and finally succeeds in driving out the Japanese, and so on.
After this article was written, Li Wanyong looked very proud.
Late that night, Li Wanyong came to Changdeok Palace with a declaration and a bunch of traitors, asking to see "King Li of Changdeok Palace" Lee.
At this time, Li was discussing with his younger brother Li how to restore the important matter, and when he heard Li Wanyong and others asking to see him, his brows furrowed, and he was about to refuse, Li hurriedly said: "Li Wanyong and others are asking to see each other late at night, I think there must be something important in the future, Your Majesty might as well see it and talk about it." ”
Li reluctantly agreed to come down one.
As soon as Li Wanyong and the others entered, when they saw Li, they all knelt down and shouted "Long live Your Majesty", this sudden change also made Li stunned and at a loss.
Fortunately, Li had some insight, and said with a gloomy face: "Are you waiting to come here for Your Majesty's reinstatement?" ”…,
"Exactly, Prince Yi." Li Wanyong said respectfully: "Back then, the Japanese were arrogant and persecuted us, and we were greedy for life and afraid of death, so we had to sign the Japan-North Korea merger treaty.
"You also know that greed for life and fear of death!" Lee snorted.
Li Wanyong pleaded again and again: "Your Majesty is angry, we already know that we are wrong, now that the Japanese have been defeated, and the Chinese government is fully supportive of our North Korea, so we want to support His Majesty to re-ascend to the pole, lead North Korea again, and restore the great rivers and mountains of our North Korea!" ”
This sentence reached Li's heart, and his expression suddenly became a lot more relaxed: "Get up." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Wanyong stood up with a group of traitors: "Your Majesty don't hesitate any longer, Your Majesty's reinstatement is a matter of course, and I have no one in North Korea who can lead except Your Majesty." ”
A smile appeared on Lee's face: "But North Korea is in chaos now, partisan strife, and there is a pseudo' provisional government of the Republic of Korea, they may not be able to agree with that." ”
"Why are those beam-jumping clowns worried?" Li Wanyong forgot that he was also a clown: "Your Majesty's reinstatement, in the eyes of the minister, it is not difficult at all, Mr. Chiang Kai-shek, the chief mediator of the Chinese Republic in Korea, still agrees with His Majesty's reinstatement, and the minister has also talked carefully with Lord Chiang." ”
"Oh, have you met President Jiang's mediator?" Li suddenly felt that his old minister was really extraordinary
Li Wanyong was the first in the list of traitors drawn up by his younger brother Li himself, and this was also allowed by Chiang Kai-shek.
But under such circumstances, Li Wanyong was able to meet Chiang Kai-shek.
"Yes, the minister has seen it." Li Wan said with a bit of pride in his words, intentionally or unintentionally: "Lord Jiang still understands the minister's hardships at the beginning, and encouraged the minister, and asked the minister to do things for His Majesty, so the minister also had the courage to come to this declaration." ”
As he handed over the declaration, Lee just glanced at it, and a smile already appeared on his face.
In the whole of North Korea, only these old ministers can understand their own thoughts, only these old ministers can do such things, and it seems that it is really impossible to leave them by themselves! Clear
