"Now that the kingdom has not heard our arguments, it has already sent troops to Seoul, do you Aiqing have a way to deal with it?" Li Liang reluctantly regained his composure and asked the ministers.

A group of Westerner Party officials were also panicked at this time, and they were a little confused.

"Your Highness Qiqi, now you can only find a way to repel the Ming official army, and then find another countermeasure." One of the officers spoke up. As soon as the words fell, he was attacked by the ministers and bloody.

"Resist the king's division? Do you know how big a crime this is? Do you want to trap Your Highness to death? ”

"What's more, the upper king's division is now united with the general Li Shi, what do you use to resist?"

After all, North Korea is a small country, and it cannot stop the Dongjiang Army's troops at all. And the most important force in North Korea is also in the hands of Li Shih.

The Korean kingdom itself does not have many troops to mobilize, and its combat effectiveness is relatively scummy, so there is no possibility of resistance at all.

"For today's plan, I'm afraid that Seoul will not be protected, Your Majesty should move first!" Someone else suggested that if you can't beat it, you can only run away.

"No, if Your Majesty escapes from Seoul now, it will be absconding in fear of crime. And if you escape for a while, you can't escape for a lifetime. And at this time, the situation is far from being so bad, the intervention of the Kingdom in Korea is nothing more than not understanding the atrocities of the deposed king, and if His Majesty stays in Seoul, there will be a chance to plead. ”

"Wouldn't it be death to stay in Seoul?"

"But if you escape, the kingdom can be canonized separately, and then Your Highness will have no chance."

A group of civilian officials made a noise again, and the atmosphere of the court in North Korea and the Ming Dynasty was also very similar, and the party struggle was very fierce.

The focus of the debate is also from whether there is a powerlessness to resist. It became a question of whether it was time to run away.

The courtiers were divided into two factions. One is to advocate running away. One is to advocate not running. Stay and plead with the kingdom.

"Your Highness, the intervention of the upper kingdom in Korea is nothing more than that he feels that His Highness's ascension to the throne is legitimate. However, the abolition of the tyranny of the king has become a resentment in North Korea. It is reasonable to say that His Highness overthrew tyranny. Shangguo is a country of etiquette and education, and it is impossible to be biased in treating us in North Korea, so why should His Highness flee from Beijing. Why don't you send someone to meet the king's teacher? When the envoys of the kingdom arrive, they will plead in person. If you flee from Beijing and plead again, it will not be frank enough. Li Gui, the core figure of the Western People's Party, came out and stated the pros and cons to Li Shi.

After thinking for a moment, Li Shi said dejectedly: "Just follow what Aiqing said!" According to the king's will, officers and soldiers along the way must not clash with the king's division. Then send people to welcome Wang Shi to Beijing, and Wang Shi's supplies along the way will be provided with all his heart. ”

"Your Highness." Li Gui and the others knelt on the ground and shouted.

"Let's go!" Li Shi stood up and waved his sleeves, and said with interest.

……

Zhao Yan led a group of Dongjiang troops to less than half the way, and the Korean officers and soldiers gave up resistance along the way, and the Korean envoys also arrived. Supplies were supplied along the way, and the Dongjiang Army was welcomed all the way to Seoul.

North Korea knows each other like this. It made Zhao Yan's perception of this Li Liang greatly improved.

When he arrived in Seoul, the king of Joseon Li Liang took his ministers and went out of the city twenty miles to greet him, and when he saw Zhao Yan, he knelt on the ground respectfully and shouted: "Li Liang, the criminal minister of the lower country, greets the angels to inspect Korea." ”

"Get up!" Zhao Yan said loudly, secretly saying in his heart that this Li Yan was smart enough.

As the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, the Ming Dynasty attaches the most importance to face. This Li Liang can be regarded as having given enough face to Daming, does not resist, does not run away, and seems to be extremely obedient.

As long as there is a little reason for this Li Liang to launch a coup d'état, it is impossible for the imperial court to canonize the king of Joseon again.

Zhao Yan was welcomed into Seoul, and in the name of the governor, he smoothly took over the military and political power of Korea. Then the case of the coup d'état in North Korea began to be heard. Li Hui, the deposed ruler of Guanghai who was deposed in the coup, was soon also found, and this guy was already blinded by lime burning.

Zhao Yan conducted separate trials, and then wrote down the process of the coup d'état, as well as the causes and consequences, and then submitted them to the imperial court.

The chapter was sent to the cabinet, and on the second day, Zhu Youxiao sent the chapter to the ministers for discussion in the early court.

"Your Majesty, during Li Hui's reign, he abandoned his mother and slaughtered his brother. and extorted tyranny from the Korean people, and fornicated with Jiannu. He is really corrupt in virtue and deserves it. The minister thought that Li Liang's coup d'état was justified, and His Majesty could canonize Li Liang as the king of Joseon. ”

"The minister objected, and Li Liang staged a coup d'état without authorization, which really violated the etiquette law. Even if Li Hui is unbearable, he Li Liang complained to me Daming that he was able to carry out a coup d'état, so that the palace in Seoul was burned down. ”

That's an exaggeration. Although the fire broke out that day, it was not deliberately arson, and the palace was not burned much. ”

A group of courtiers argued, Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair and calmly listened to the opinions of the ministers, and after the ministers argued for a while, they did not fight for anything. Everything that should be said has been said, it depends on how the referee Zhu Youxiao decides.

"Your Majesty, please."

"Your Majesty, please."

The ministers bowed down and shouted, and at the invitation of the ministers, Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth and said: "What you Aiqing said is reasonable. Li Kung's virtue and cruel temperament are the blessings of the king of Joseon and not the people of Joseon. He was overthrown, and his eyes were burned, and he was exiled. It is understandable that Yi Liang staged a coup d'état without authorization, so I decided to canonize Yi Liang as the king of Joseon. However, Li Ju violated the etiquette law and had to be punished. Although he was canonized as the king of Joseon, he was not allowed to interfere in the affairs of Joseon. The government affairs of Korea will be managed by the governor appointed by the imperial court. ”

The ministers couldn't help but be stunned, is this each playing 20 boards?

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The hundred officials immediately bowed down and shouted, and they had to admire the emperor's disposal plan. It makes sense, but he stretched out his hand to North Korea.

Obviously, the coup d'état in North Korea is far from subsided, but the disposition plan of the imperial court has been transmitted to North Korea, which has greatly stabilized the situation.

First of all, Li Shi was named the general of Korea by the Ming Dynasty, and he had the canonization of the kingdom, and this position was as stable as Mount Tai. If Li Shi wants to make this position stable, then he must support the Ming governor's dispatch to Korea.

Because the Ming Dynasty collected power from the king of Joseon, Li Shi had no risk. After all, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to have any jealousy against Li Shi, and a powerful Korean king will obviously want to get rid of Li Shi as soon as possible.

Li Shi is also an understanding person. Very simply and completely poured into Daming.

Cho Yan was officially appointed governor of Korea. In North Korea, it is simply the existence of the emperor. But of course Zhao Yan didn't dare to mess around. After all, there are already very serious problems in North Korea at this time. During the reign of Li Hui, the Korean people were annexed by a large number of North Korean magnates, and some of them even turned peasants into their serfs.

If there is a problem with the administration of North Korea under the intervention of the Ming Dynasty at this time, then the Ming control of Korea will be overthrown by the Korean people.

With the support of Li Shi, the king of Joseon, Li Liang, could only reluctantly hand over the military and political power, and lived a life of eating and waiting for death. After Zhao Yan took over the military and political power, he immediately carried out a major reshuffle of interests in North Korea in accordance with Zhu Youxiao's instructions to him.

This reshuffle of interests. The biggest beneficiary is none other than the Ming Imperial Firm, as well as the Korean general Li Shi.

In the name of anti-corruption and reform, the North Korean elite suffered a heavy blow in the following period. The magnates had to spit out a lot of land under the high taxes they were levied. These lands were acquired either by ordinary Korean peasants, or by the Ming Imperial Firm and Li Shih.

Li Shi is the bodyguard of this reform, where the powerful resist, they will quickly launch a crackdown, so the reshuffle of interests caused by the reform has his share of dividends.

In addition, taxes on the elite as well as high-income groups. is also one after another, it is like knocking bones and sucking the marrow. In addition, the DPRK's customs duties, commercial taxes, and so on have been improved.

The North Korean people are also in the midst of this reform. Great benefits were obtained. The first is the land on which they acquired some, although it was some mountainous and hilly areas. But they also received all kinds of relief and a lot of jobs.

Not long after Governor Zhao Yan was in Korea, he purchased a large amount of grain from the Ming Dynasty to provide relief and relief to the Korean people, but the money used was not from the Ming Dynasty, but from the DPRK.

North Korea apparently does not have that much money, and this money is obtained by North Korea from the Royal Bank with an annual interest rate of 10%, while only receiving 70% of the loan amount.

Then, in addition to the money being used to help the affected people in North Korea, as well as to help some low-income groups in North Korea who cannot survive. Roads and other facilities have also been built in the DPRK to provide employment for the DPRK people.

Zhao Yan's reform of North Korea seems to be dedicated to the North Korean people and is very fair. But in reality, it is a hidden financial loan to exploit North Korea.

On the surface, this kind of financial loan seems to have an interest rate of only 10%, which is not very high. But only 70% of the money I got, and the remaining 30% don't know where to go.

But what comes out public, the North Korean people only know that the interest rate is 10%.

This kind of means, in fact, is the financial means of exploiting weak and small countries by modern powers in later generations, and the interest rate seems to be more favorable on the surface, but the actual money you give is less than it seems, and in fact it is not much different from high interest rates.

North Korea's tariffs were not established to prevent Ming goods from entering North Korea. Instead, it forbade the goods of the Ming Dynasty or other countries from entering the North Korean market. However, the goods exported by royal capital to North Korea do not need to be considered by the level of tariffs, because no matter how high the North Korean tariffs are, even if they still pay the tariffs, they can also get back from the loan interest. It's nothing more than a left-handed trick for a right-handed one.

Of course, the royal capital is not brutally squeezing North Korea, but first lending to North Korea, letting North Korea make the cake bigger, and then squeezing it within the limits that the North Korean people can bear.

The king of North Korea, Li Liang, was naturally unwilling, but Li Shi became a partner of the royal capital to squeeze North Korea and shared part of the dividends. Li Shi took refuge in the Ming Dynasty, his status and wealth were gained, and he worked harder for the royal capital. After being canonized as the general of North Korea by the Ming Dynasty, the military power of North Korea was gradually grasped by Li Shi. The king of Joseon, Yi Liang, has become a puppet.

It's just that Li Liang also has a part of the interest, that is, 5% of North Korea's annual tax revenue is allocated to him and kept as a mascot. (To be continued......)
