"Huh?" After passing through the front yard of the Hancheng Office of the Lecture Hall, Li Xuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned as he walked, and his eyes showed a look of surprise.

It turned out that the open space on both sides of the road was already full of soldiers at this time, one by one, wearing armor, sitting together in groups to rest, although there were many people, but the scene was silent.

What particularly shocked Li Xuan was that many soldiers on the side of the road were wiping the muskets in their hands, and as far as he knew, the Ming army's firearms unit was stationed in Incheon Port and had never entered Seoul, but tonight he unexpectedly saw the Ming army's firearms unit in the Jiangwutang Division.

From the oppressive atmosphere at the scene, Li Xuan had a vague premonition that something big might happen in Seoul, otherwise, Li Yuntian would not have secretly transferred so many soldiers to the Wutang Division, and they were all ready to fight.

But Li Xuan couldn't have imagined what had happened anyway, and now that the military power in Seoul was firmly in the hands of Li Yuntian, what was there to do for Li Yuntian?

With the puzzle in his heart, Li Xuan came to the small courtyard where Li Yuntian lived in the backyard of the Hancheng Division Office of the Lecture Hall.

From those guards with cold expressions, Li Xuan finally realized that something big had happened in Seoul, otherwise Li Yuntian would not have so many guards guarding outside his residence.

"King of Joseon, this king invited you in a hurry to discuss important matters." Li Yuntian had already set up a banquet waiting for Li Xuan, and when he saw Li Xuan coming, he motioned for him to sit down, and the two sat opposite each other.

"I don't know what the prince has to discuss with Xiao Wang." Li Xuan was even more puzzled when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down to answer.

"What does the King of Joseon think of the Inner Guard?" After Li Yuntian asked the maid standing next to him to fill the wine glass in front of Li Xuanman, he asked quietly.

"Janissaries?" Li Xuan didn't expect Li Yuntian to mention the internal guards, and an unconcealable surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he didn't know why Li Yuntian asked this question for a while.

"Back to the prince, the Inner Janissary is Xiao Wang's Imperial Guard, which used to be the strongest team in the Korean army, and most of the officials of the Inner Praetorian Guard are selected from the children of the official eunuchs below the fifth rank official, and the martial artists with outstanding intelligence and good looks are selected to become the officials of the Inner Guard."

Then, Li Xuan, who came back to his senses, bowed to Li Yuntian again and replied one by one, feeling an inexplicable panic in his heart for some reason.

The reason why Li Xuan said that the Inner Janissary was the strongest contingent of the North Korean army in the past is because the soldiers of the Inner Janissary not only selected young people with strong physique, but also treated them the best in the North Korean army.

However, after the Korean army was reorganized by the instructors of the military attache regiment of the Ming army, the physical fitness of the soldiers of the new Korean army was rapidly improved under the superior food treatment, and it has surpassed the physique of the soldiers of the internal guard.

It is worth mentioning that with the strong financial strength provided by Jiangwutang, the food of the new army of the DPRK has exceeded that of the internal guards, which is also an important reason for the rapid improvement of the combat effectiveness of the new army of the DPRK.

In addition to being well paid, according to the rules set by Li Yuntian for the North Korean New Army, they mainly serve for a certain number of years, and they can get a retirement pension and a piece of land to settle down, and they can also get some jobs first.

As a result, the soldiers of the new Korean army who came from poor backgrounds wanted to change their fate by serving in the army, and according to the pension regulations established by the Komudang, the war dead and the war wounded would receive generous pensions.

After all, North Korea's limited national strength makes it impossible to provide too much money for the internal guards, so compared with the internal guards, the officers and men of the North Korean New Army have no worries when fighting, and even if they die on the battlefield, they do not have to worry about their parents and brothers at home being left behind.

However, since the Inner Janissary was the imperial guard of the King of Joseon, this time the new Korean army was not counted in the same way as the other two troops of the Third Inner Hall, and it was not controlled by Li Yuntian.

At this moment, Li Xuan finally understood a little, why did Li Yuntian, who controlled the overall situation of Seoul, want to line up to meet the enemy with great fanfare, not all the troops in Seoul are under Li Yuntian's jurisdiction, and the army of the Inner Third Hall is still in his hands, in case something goes wrong with those troops in the Inner Third Hall......

Since the reorganization of the new army of the DPRK, the army of the Inner Third Agency, which was originally in a superior position, has gradually lost the advantage that they are proud of, and when the welfare benefits were surpassed by the new army, dissatisfaction began to brew among the soldiers.

Therefore, Li Xuan is now worried that the people in the third hall will cause something against Li Yuntian under impulse, if that is really the case, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"King Joseon, do you recognize an lieutenant named Pu Liang in the Inner Guard?" Li Yuntian saw that the expression on Li Xuan's face became uneasy, and knew that he was disturbed by his previous words, so he raised his wine glass and asked lightly after raising his wine glass to Li Xuan.

"Vice Lieutenant Park?" Li Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly raised the wine glass with both hands to toast Li Yuntian, bowed down and asked uneasily, "Xiao Wang recognizes him, he is the second son of the former Sixian Mansion Pingpu Guang." ”

The Sixian Office and the Si Ji Office were the two original supervisory and advisory bodies of the Joseon State, but with the establishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate by Li Yuntian, the Si Xian Office and the Si Ji Office were also abolished and merged into the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Li Xuan was not familiar with the official position of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he naturally called Pu Guang's previous position in the Sixian Mansion, and Li Guang is currently the steward of the Licao Zheng Wupin, because the position of Ping Ping is also the Zhengwupin in the Sixian Mansion, so it can be regarded as a transfer of the post at the same level.

"It seems that the king of Joseon is very impressed by this Pu Liang." Seeing that Li Xuan could actually remember a small lieutenant, Li Yuntian nodded the wine glass in his hand to Li Xuan, and then tasted the wine in the wine glass and said with a smile.

"Back to the prince, Pu Liang is the most brave person in the inner guard, so Xiao Wang has an impression of him." Li Xuan was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly drank all the wine in the wine glass, and then explained that he didn't want to have anything to do with Pu Liang now.

"Pu Liang is not only brave but also very courageous, he gathered some people from the internal guards to enter the department and capture the king, so as to prevent the annexation of Korea to the Ming Dynasty." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and said quietly.

With a click, Li Xuan's hand shook when he heard the words, the wine glass he was holding fell to the ground and shattered, his face turned pale in an instant, he finally understood why Li Yuntian called him over so late at this time, and even more clearly figured out why those Ming troops were like a big enemy just now, it turned out that Pu Liang actually wanted to attack the affairs office, which was undoubtedly a moth to the fire and brought about his own destruction.

"Lord Wang, Xiao Wang really doesn't know, please check it out." Then, Li Xuan hurriedly stood up and bowed to Li Yuntian to defend himself, and cold sweat couldn't help but ooze from his forehead.

Obviously, once Pu Liang really led his troops to attack the Hancheng Division, then his behavior would undoubtedly be a rebellion, and Pu Liang was the janissary guard beside Li Xuan, and he would definitely not be able to get rid of it, and if he didn't do it, he would be labeled as the main messenger behind the scenes by someone with ulterior motives, so that Li Xuan would be in danger.

"The king of Joseon doesn't need to be nervous, this king has already found out very clearly, Pu Liang's matter has nothing to do with you, it is Pu Liang's selfishness and wants to profit from it." Li Yuntian saw that Li Xuan was frightened by his previous words, so he smiled slightly and said, "This king doesn't want any more chaos in Seoul, so this time I came to the king of Korea to discuss how to deal with this incident." ”

"Xiao Wang is terrified in his heart, everything is decided by the prince." Seeing that Li Yuntian did not mean to hold him accountable, Li Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and replied, where is there room for him to bargain at this moment.

"As the saying goes, the prodigal son does not change his money, and now that the emperor's decree is about to be issued, North Korea is likely to be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, so this king does not want anything unpleasant to happen before this."

Li Yuntian groaned for a moment when he heard this, stared at Li Xuan and said, "King of Joseon, the internal guards are your imperial guards, and it will be up to you whether you can leave them a way to live." ”

"Don't worry, Xiao Wang will definitely persuade them to turn back, and they will definitely live up to the expectations of the prince." Li Xuan finally understood Li Yuntian's intention of calling him here, and originally hoped that he would persuade Pu Liang and others to avoid a bloody conflict, so he hurriedly replied in a deep voice.

To be honest, at this moment, Li Xuan doesn't want any accidents to happen, and the annexation of North Korea to the Ming Dynasty under Li Yuntian's leadership is inevitable, and it is better to complete this matter peacefully than to shed blood in vain.

Therefore, although Li Xuan was surprised and pleased by the behavior of Pu Liang and others, he did not expect that there were still loyal people loyal to the Korean royal family, but he did not approve of their reckless behavior.

"King of Joseon, this king knows that you have some concerns in your heart now, and you are worried that you will be snubbed when you arrive in the capital, and it will be like house arrest." Li Yuntian saw that the expression on Li Xuan's face became a little lighter, so he stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down, and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about this, you will have all the rights and treatment of the King of Daming County." ”

"The prince is serious, it is Xiao Wang's honor to be able to go to the capital of Daming, Xiao Wang has been yearning for a long time in his heart, and he can't ask for it." Hearing this, Li Xuan suddenly showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and hurriedly bowed solemnly to Li Yuntian and said, he dared to express his dissatisfaction in front of Li Yuntian when he was full.

"King of Joseon, this king promises you that when the situation in North Korea stabilizes, he will definitely ask the emperor to let you return to your hometown to visit relatives, and you will be relieved of your homesickness." Li Yuntian knew that Li Xuan was duplicitous, and smiled disapprovingly, he naturally would not break it so as not to embarrass Li Xuan.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." When Li Xuan heard that Li Yuntian was going to let him go back to North Korea to visit his relatives in the future, he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Li Yuntian, which was great news for him, a person who was "imprisoned."

Seeing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, time will prove to Li Xuan that his current choice is correct, and he wants Li Xuan to see the arrival of this day with his own eyes.
