Outside the Muhua Pavilion, thousands of officers and soldiers stood around the hall with loaded guns and live ammunition, and there were still some blood stains on the new loess in front of the "Ying'en Gate", and the corpses were randomly piled up on the side of the road. Murder is always inevitable, and any coup d'état must kill people, even if it is called a "bloodless coup".

However, this coup d'état that deposed the king of Joseon did not kill a few people, and most of the Korean court guards surrendered to the Qing army under the orders of Daewonjun, and only a few recalcitrant ones were stabbed to death with bayonets.

It was only a moment of effort, under the auspices of Li Yuying, the king of the Xingxuan Courtyard, the guards put down their weapons, and the hundred officials were also "invited" to enter the Muhua Pavilion, which seemed to be very smooth.

Shun lì, this unexpected coup d'état can be said to be extremely smooth.

"The work of adults is far farther than that of Ban Ding!"

In the Muhua Pavilion, Li Yuying, who was sitting on the seat, complimented Tang Haoran, although since the Qing Dynasty was released, he has been trying to pull his son off the throne, but several attempts have failed, and because of this, in the previous coup d'état, after a moment of panic, he immediately took the initiative to cooperate. If you don't know, you might think that he has been informed before, but in fact, he is also ignorant of this change.

"Ban Dingyuan ......"

Smiling, Tang Haoran just took a sip of tea, looked up at Li Yuying and said.

"Dayuanjun, this official will play the imperial court, please Dayuanjun be the regent of Joseon, and appoint Li Junyong as the king of Joseon, and when he becomes an adult, he will be in charge of the government!"

This is Yuan Shikai's construction, and even Yuan Shikai's original plan, in fact, for Yuan Shikai's plan, Tang Haoran only adopted this point, originally Yuan Shikai had planned to let the Korean soldiers practice on Ganghwa Island under the guise of guarding against foreign invasions, and then review these soldiers one by one, so that they can easily recognize their commanders at critical moments. Then a fire was lit at the gate of Yunxian Palace, as a signal for the followers of Dayuanjun, who hated the Min Concubine group, to rise up. When the mob attacked the palace, Yuan Shikai appeared as he had done in the Jiashen coup six years earlier, commanded the aforementioned soldiers, entered the palace under the guise of pacifying the mob, deposed the king and brought him out of the palace, and then declared Li Junrong as the heir, and the regent of Dayuanjun until Li Junrong reached the age of pro-government.

Compared with Yuan Shikai's use of civil unrest as an excuse, Tang Haoran's actions were undoubtedly more direct and straightforward, but there were also many troubles, and because of this, he asked Li Yuying to cooperate, and only in this way could he eliminate the resistance of North Korea.

"What the lord said, how dare the minister disobey!"

Li Yuying, who had fulfilled his wish, nodded hurriedly in response, and at the same time looked at Tang Haoran and asked.

"I don't know what you're going to do next, sir?"

There is no free dinner in the world, and Li Yu Yingyan does not know that Tang Haoran's deposition of Li Xi is only in the interests of the Qing Dynasty, and he naturally needs to be reciprocated.

"Hmmm......"

Facing Li Yuying's gaze, Tang Haoran's face was straight.

"What this Prime Minister of the DPRK has done is to ensure that the DPRK survives in this 3,000-year-unseen change and that China is protected from the invasion of foreign invaders, and the DPRK is a small country and exists among several large countries, and the DPRK has been in China for hundreds of years, how can China allow the foreign invaders to invade and bully the DPRK? But if the DPRK stands on its own and is no longer a fence of China, China will naturally not be responsible for the DPRK! ”

After the righteous and strict words, Tang Haoran continued:

"Therefore, this official intends to sign a new treaty with North Korea!"

"New Testament!"

Li Yuying's brows jumped slightly, there are no other ministers here now, only him and Tang Haoran, what is this so-called New Testament?

In confusion, he saw Tang Haoran take out a text of the treaty that had already been prepared.

Taking the text, Li Yuying read it seriously.

"North Korea has long been listed as a feudal feud, and the ceremony is closed, and every qiē is customized, which is needless to say. However, the treaty charter is intended by China to preserve its dependencies, and is not included in the list of all countries as a whole. It is hereby decided that the articles are as follows: ......"

After reading the beginning, Li Yuying continued to look down.

"Article 1: Korea has long been a feudal feudal domain, and it is of the same language and species as China, and the Great Qing State will have full authority to supervise and direct the foreign relations and affairs of Korea in the future. The diplomatic representatives and consuls of the Great Qing Dynasty could protect Korean subjects and interests in foreign countries. ”

Looking at this article, Li Yuying did not have much resistance, in fact, he has always opposed the founding of the country, and naturally he is even more opposed to sending diplomats, and even, in his opinion, Li Xi is one of the disasters brought to North Korea, but the act of sending diplomats,

"Article 2: The Qing government shall be fully responsible for the implementation of existing treaties between Korea and other countries. In the future, the DPRK shall not conclude any treaties or bindings of an international character unless it is mediated by the Qing Dynasty. ”

Well, as a subject country, this is also a lot less trouble, and in the future, the foreigners will be responsible for the Qing State for the first time, in fact, when Li Yuying presided over the Korean state affairs, the Western and Oriental affairs were pushed to the Qing State, so as to save a lot of trouble. This one can also be promised.

Looking at the first two, Li Yu, who did not have much resistance to these two items, should know that the fear after this is not so simple, sure enough, looking down again, his brows still couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Article 3: The Great Qing Dynasty shall appoint a prime minister to the DPRK. The Commander-in-Chief is dedicated to the management of foreign affairs, is stationed in the capital, and has the right to personally report to His Majesty the Emperor of Joseon. The government of the Great Qing Dynasty shall have the right to appoint an officer under the command of the general superintendent to carry out the duties and powers which belong to one of the consuls of the Great Qing State in Korea, and to take charge of all matters necessary for the implementation of the terms of this treaty......"

After reading this, after thinking about it for a while, Li Yuying raised his head and looked at Tang Haoran, and asked with a suspicious face.

"If the commander you are referring to is only to protect Korea from foreign invasion, and thus is in charge of foreign affairs? China is the suzerainty of Korea, and China should be the master of Korea's foreign affairs, and the ministers dare not oppose it, but why is it that in Article 4, the appointment and dismissal of high-ranking officials in Korea can only be carried out with the consent of the commander-in-chief? ”

If there is a conflict, I am afraid that for Li Yuying, Article 4 is the real contradiction, and as for Article 5, the royal family, ministers, and government are not allowed to hire foreigners as advisers without the consent of the superintendent, there is no objection, and there is only Article 4 for Li Yuying when it comes to the politics of Korea.

There are only seven articles in the protection treaty, and the most important core of the so-called seven articles is the diplomatic power of the DPRK, which fundamentally denies the diplomatic rights of the DPRK, and diplomacy, of course, is not only the fundamental deprivation of the DPRK's diplomatic rights, this is only the beginning, and the appointment of DPRK officials needs to be approved by the commander-in-chief, but it is only another step in interfering in its internal affairs.

"May I ask Dayuanjun, can you remember the coup d'état carried out by the Enlightenment Party in the Jiashen Year and the three-day government of the Enlightenment Party?"

Regarding Li Yuying's question, Tang Haoran smiled slightly, and then said helplessly.

"If the DPRK had listened to China's persuasion and refused to appoint Kim Gyun and others to enter the DPRK, how could it have caused the disaster of Jiashen, and the unified supervisor discussed whether or not to appoint and dismiss the DPRK officials, and what he did was only to maintain the Chinese clan and the classics, not to interfere in the national affairs of the DPRK. Every time he infiltrated the king, the king was deeply confused by it, and wanted to leave China, thinking more about other plans, how could it be that today, if he was a minister in the Japanese court, he was sown by others. And how? ”

After asking questions one after another, Tang Haoran said again.

"The right to appoint and dismiss this official is just to refute and build yì, and I ask the king of the courtyard to not mind ......"

Having said that, Li Yuying was silent, he hung his head and thought there, not only thinking about the danger of being assassinated several times in the past, not just the fight between the DPRK and China, but also thinking about the real intentions of this person in front of him?

Under the roof, Li Yuying didn't know that he didn't seem to be detained now, but in fact, his fate was in the hands of this person, just like the fate of North Korea, and what kind of achievement he wanted to achieve in North Korea; Do you want to accept North Korea as one of the provinces of China? Or to maintain the Chinese thousand-year-old domain?

At this time, Li Yuying couldn't help but struggle a little in his heart, although the power of "unified supervision" seems to be far inferior to that of "supervising the country", but this is not the first step to "supervising the country", is it to refuse or accept?

For Li Yuying, he was faced with a dilemma at this time.

"I don't know what to do with Concubine Min's family?"

When it was difficult to choose in his heart, Li Yuying did not answer this question directly, but watched Tang Haoran ask another group of people - Concubine Min and the ministers, those people are also "big party members", which can naturally be used for the Qing Kingdom, but for the Dayuan Jun, they have many years of grievances.

"This is an internal affair of North Korea, and this minister has no intention of asking, and if you want to come, the court has his own decision."

Tang Haoran didn't know that the so-called "Min faction" was Li Yuying's tentative words, and he knew that since it was a coup d'état, he needed to shed blood, and he needed to completely defeat some people, so for those people, he could only secretly say sorry in his heart, not to mention, most of those people were just pro-China on the surface.

Tang Haoran's answer made Li Yuying breathe a sigh of relief, and then he asked again.

"Then with the king and the prince, how to settle!"

"Although Li Xi betrayed China and betrayed his righteousness, but he was once the king of Korea, how could China abandon it, follow the old practice of entering China with the fleet, and after entering China, he will regret it with his academic ......"

When talking about the arrangements for Li Xi and others, Tang Haoran noticed the change in Li Yuying's expression, his face looked very strange, and in the intersection of many emotions such as disappointment and relief, Li Yuying should understand that for the Qing court, Li Xi was a bargaining chip for him to restrain himself, just like when he took himself to China, and then returned himself to Korea, for the Qing court, what he did was only to maintain the stability of the Korean clan.

After pondering for a long time, Li Yuying once again glanced at the text of the treaty on the table, and the expression on the very old face was extremely solemn, and he sighed for a while,

"Since the minister has orders, how can the minister not obey, it's just that the minister has not been regent and the court situation has not been decided, and the treaty may be difficult to sign!"

Dayuanjun refused on the surface, but in fact he offered his bargaining chip, and his bargaining chip was exactly what Tang Haoran needed, so he immediately smiled, then stood up and bowed deeply.

"This situation in the middle of the court, please leave it to the courtyard king!"
