Chapter 1373: Tavern Conspiracy

A few days later, at noon, in a nondescript tavern in Seoul.

Dressed in casual clothes, he walked straight to the private rooms located at the back of the tavern, which were small enough to be used by those who needed them.

"Master Park." In the private room, Mr. Jin was already waiting there, and when he saw this, he quickly got up to greet him.

"Chen Sangongzi, I've kept you waiting." Pu Liang smiled slightly and sat down opposite Mr. Kim.

Mr. Jin calls himself "Chen Sangongzi", and Pu Liang knows that he doesn't want to tell his real name, so he doesn't get to the bottom of it, at least he knows that the other party has a deep hatred for Li Yuntian, which is enough.

As for the origin of the name "Chen Sangongzi", Mr. Jin regarded himself as the third male among the children of the Chen family, in addition to Chen Guangzong and Chen Yaozu's two sons-in-law.

Although he is only an illegitimate child, he is not even as good as the status of a concubine, but now that the Chen family is finished, who cares about him?

"Where, I've just arrived." Chen Sangongzi smiled and waved his hand when he heard this, and then asked with a concerned face, "Lord Pu is looking for it this time, is it the official document for entering and leaving the city?" ”

"I will leave the city in two days, and I hope that Chen Sangongzi will be ready by then." Pu Liang smiled and nodded, he came to Chen Sangongzi this time to discuss the entry of his subordinates into the city.

"That's great!" Chen Sangongzi's face suddenly turned happy when he heard this, and he breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved, if Pu Liang couldn't get the official document of entering and leaving the city, then things would be troublesome.

"Don't worry, Lord Park, I will let the brothers arrive at the predetermined place on time and meet your lordship." Afterwards, Chen Sangongzi said solemnly to Pu Liang.

According to the previous agreement between the two, when Pu Liang led the team out of the city to practice, Chen Sangongzi took his subordinates to the designated place for exchange, and then Pu Liang mixed into Chen Sangongzi's team and then brought it back to the city, and then unknowingly avoided the inspection at the city gate.

"Chen Sangongzi, there is one thing that the official will not hide from you now, in fact, we still have reinforcements, which can block the Ming Army Rescue Division in the city at that time, so that we have more time to find King Zhong."

After discussing the matter of bringing Chen Sangongzi's subordinates into the city, Pu Liang Yufeng explained to Chen Sangongzi in a deep voice, "Lord Jin Zongrui, the deputy commander of the Yamen of the Metropolitan Division, was originally the commander of the six towns in the northeast, and he has deep roots in the six towns in the northeast, and more than half of the Korean garrison in Seoul are from the original six towns in the northeast. ”

When the new Korean army was reorganized, the vast majority of the Korean soldiers in the six towns in the northeast and the four counties in the northwest were transferred to the south by Li Yuntian, and some of them became the Korean forbidden army stationed in Seoul.

This is also an important reason why Park Liang wants to drag Kim Jong-seo into the water, not only because Kim Jong-seo is loyal to the Joseon royal family, but also because more than half of the North Korean garrison in Seoul comes from the six northeastern towns, and the rest are basically people from the four northwestern counties.

Therefore, if Pu Liang can win over Jin Zongrui, then the success rate of his sneak attack on the Hancheng Office of the Wutang will be greatly improved.

"Kim Jong-seo is a prominent minister in North Korea, and he knows that the risks involved in this matter are not necessarily involved." Chen Sangongzi's brows immediately frowned when he heard this, you must know that the sneak attack on the Hancheng Office of the Wutang is a big crime of rebellion, and once the incident happens, no one can save those who participated in the rebellion.

Although Kim Zongrui is loyal to the Korean royal family, he has a big family, which means that the more things he worries about, and this kind of thing involving the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family may not dare to do, after all, Kim Zongrui has passed the age of youth and vigor, and he will not be impulsive enough to pay for the lives of the whole family.

"This is not up to Lord Kim, for the sake of the future of North Korea, I can only wronged him." Pu Liang naturally knew this truth, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly.

It turned out that Park Liang had already prepared for Jin Zongrui's refusal to join the matter, and he couldn't bet all his bets on Jin Zongrui, so if Jin Zongrui retreated, he could only hold Jin Zongrui hostage to do this.

Although Kim Jong-seo was a hero admired by Park Conscience, he needed Kim Jong-seo's help for the sake of the Joseon royal family, and only then could he have the opportunity to find Li Yuntian at the Seoul Office of the Jiangwutang before the Ming army reinforcements arrived.

"But will those North Korean garrisons help you block the reinforcements of the Ming army?" Chen Sangongzi knew Pu Liang's plan, but he still didn't feel optimistic, and asked with a frown after a deep groan.

You must know that the new army of the DPRK is all reorganized and trained by the military attachés of the Jiangwutang, and the close relationship between it and the new army of the DPRK, coupled with the enviable welfare benefits of the new army of the DPRK, makes the new army of the DPRK have a strong imprint of the army of the Jiangwudang family.

Chen Sangongzi felt that even if the generals of the Korean New Army were willing to follow Jin Zongrui to rebel, the soldiers would not necessarily do so, and after learning of Li Yuntian's brilliant achievements in the southern and northern wars over the years, the soldiers of the Korean New Army were all in awe of Li Yuntian, how could they dare to offend Li Yuntian.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Korean New Army knew very well when they were reorganized that the reason why they were trained by the military attache regiment of Jiangwutang and received superior welfare treatment was because Korea was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, respected the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, and both sides had a common emperor and were both subjects of the Ming Empire.

Therefore, in this situation, I am afraid that few soldiers of the Korean New Army dare to turn their swords and guns to murder the dignified King Zhong, which is what Chen Sangongzi is most worried about.

"The third prince can rest assured, the official will definitely not let them know our true purpose at that time."

Seeing that Chen Sangongzi looked worried, Pu Liang knew that he was worried that he would not be able to control the new Korean army in the city, so he smiled and comforted, "This official will use the banner of Lord Jin to let Lord Jin's subordinates go down to intercept the Ming army that came to reinforce on the grounds of quelling the rebellion. ”

"That's great!" Chen Sangongzi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and Pu Liang's words would blind those new Korean troops, and the situation would be chaotic at that time, and the confrontation between the new Korean army and the Ming army would inevitably worsen the situation, making it impossible for the Ming army to rescue Li Yuntian.

"Lord Jin is also a brave and warlike tiger general, who defeated the Jurchen tribes in the north back then, and then pushed the border of North Korea to the Yalu River, but later the Ming Dynasty intervened in this matter, so that Lord Jin had to withdraw from the territory that he had fought so hard for, and he must be unwilling in his heart."

After pondering for a while, Pu Liang told Chen Sangongzi another thing, "And the person who pushed the Ming court to pay attention to the areas captured by Lord Jin was Lord Zhong, who let the Ming Liaodong army cross the Yalu River and directly confront the six towns in the northeast and the four counties in the northwest of North Korea, which was the most hated enemy in Lord Jin's heart, which also made Lord Jin not return to Seoul according to the order of Lord Zhong. ”

"Therefore, the official is still very confident in convincing Lord Kim." As he spoke, Pu Liang looked at Chen Sangongzi with a smile, "Lord Kim has the Joseon royal family in his heart, and a loyal person like him has already put his family and his own life and death on the line, if this matter is successful, he will become a hero of North Korea!" ”

"I wish you a successful start." Chen Sangongzi saw that Pu Liang looked confident, so he picked up the teacup on the table and saluted Pu Liang with a smile, if he could kill Li Yuntian this time, he would also be regarded as avenging the Chen family.

"Victory!" Pu Liang smiled and picked up the teacup and touched it with Chen Sangongzi, the two looked at each other and smiled and drank it all, as if their sneak attack on the Hancheng Office of the Wutang was as easy as digging for something.

As the Korean imperial examination approached, the atmosphere in Seoul became more and more tense and depressing, and for the two groups of disciples who were established, this was their last chance to enter the career through liberal arts, and there would be no liberal arts to speak of after North Korea was incorporated into the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, as long as the two teams of disciples who have fallen the age of the examination are forced by their families to prepare for the exam, catch this last train, and mix the background of the North Korean Jinshi, so as not to go to the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty with those ordinary children, how can these children of the poor be the opponents of those students who study hard.

Compared with the two teams of students who are gearing up, those miscellaneous students have given up the North Korean miscellaneous subjects and are engrossed in preparing for the upcoming Enke of the Ming Dynasty, and only a very small number of students have chosen to participate in the miscellaneous examination for various reasons, otherwise the North Korean miscellaneous subjects will face the dilemma of no one taking the exam.

Although Li Yuntian did not give a clear answer to Li Yan's Daming will open Enke in North Korea, his words and deeds have already acquiesced in this matter, and Li Yan's cleverness can naturally perceive Li Yuntian's intentions, so he is full of expectations for Daming's Enke.

It is worth mentioning that although the imperial examination in North Korea is still carried out in accordance with the previous practice, due to Li Yuntian's intervention, it is different from the previous imperial examination, whether it is invigilation or grading, there are people from the martial arts hall who speak, especially the examination questions will not be announced until the day of the examination.

This makes it impossible for those two teams to pass the exam by cheating to become a jinshi as in the past, and they have to be patient to review their homework, and they can be asked to show their real skills when the exam is held, and no one wants to miss the opportunity to step into the official career.

In fact, what made those two team members feel worried was that they were worried that Li Yuntian would cancel the imperial examination of the DPRK and implement the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty in the DPRK, after all, the DPRK was about to be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, so it should naturally follow the rules of the Ming Dynasty.

Fortunately, Li Yuntian did not want to change the current status quo of the Korean State, so he rejected the joint letter of Li Yan and others, and clearly told Li Yan that the imperial examination of the Korean State would not change this time, which undoubtedly gave them a reassurance.

As for whether those miscellaneous students gave up their miscellaneous subjects and turned to Daming, the two groups of disciples don't care, their current energy is focused on the liberal arts this time, once the liberal arts are defeated, it is estimated that it will be difficult to enter the officialdom in the future.

This made the business of those Qinglou taverns in Seoul immediately cold down a lot, and the two teams of disciples who spent money like water were locked up at home to prepare for the exam.

In fact, in this imperial examination of the Korean State, the most embarrassing thing is undoubtedly the "traitor" Li Ji and Huang Xi and other officials of the three divisions and one court of the Korean State, they never imagined that their son would be so close to the Ming Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and they had to give up the Korean liberal arts to take the Ming Enke, which is really shameless.

However, this matter has been completed, Li Ji and Huang Xi and others have no choice, they can't forcibly prevent their sons from not taking the exam for Daming's Enke, which will undoubtedly offend Li Yuntian, so they can only wait for the result secretly, although they blame their sons for not knowing the height of the sky, but they all hope that they can successfully pass Daming's Enke and shine in the court.

The collapse of Li Yuntiandu's two classes of nobles has quietly started from the younger generation of the two classes of nobles, and in time, the class of the two classes of nobles will eventually disappear into invisibility.
