88. The Eve of the Great War (2)
"The nave, this is a very dangerous signal, we can't continue to sit here and wait for death, you must know that among the descendants of my father, many people still want to occupy this throne, and are ready to make any price, you know, my father is still in the Qing Kingdom, this is something we must face. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Li Xi had to worry about his own situation, inheriting the unification with side support, which was already very criticized, and there was a father with an unusually strong desire for power, he was a clan, and his father was naturally also a clan! In case what he does in the future does not conform to the wishes of the Chinese, it is by no means impossible to establish his own father in Baoding, according to the current trend of the Qing Kingdom.
Concubine Min's eyebrows twisted into a ball, as a political figure, she is by no means comparable to ordinary women, and naturally she also smelled a lot of things wrong in it, "Qing Guo has never interfered in internal political affairs of North Korea, is the lord too worried?" ”
"Vietnam's experience from the past, we have to beware, Middle Temple," Li Xi said solemnly again, "We can't stay here any longer, Jin Yujun and these people will kill us." ”
Jin Yujun is the leader of the Enlightenment Party, and also the leader who presided over the planning of the Jiashen coup, before holding Concubine Min and Li Xi hostage, falsely claiming that the Qing soldiers mutinied, and invited two people out of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and lived in this place Jingyou Palace, which is quite small, which helps the army of the Enlightenment Party to firmly control the king and Concubine Min, but this situation will definitely not last forever, Concubine Min is also very worried about this matter, her political position is very changeable, just like a chameleon, At the beginning of the early period of the government, it was the first to introduce the forces of the Kaihua Party, with the help of the Japanese power to fight against the conservative Dayuanjun, now obviously, several mutinies, the Japanese are among them, and the aggressiveness of the Japanese made her very unhappy, and then, naturally need to change the way and method, no longer submit to the obscenity of the Japanese, she nodded, "Yes, Lord, I will notify people to go out, let Shen Xiangxun go to the Qing army camp in Incheon, and ask the commander of the Qing army, Lord Yuan, to quell this mutiny." ”
Li Xi nodded, but was very surprised by this candidate for help, "Judge Shen Xiangxun?" Isn't he a member of Kim Ok-kyun's party? How could it be possible to help us go to the Qing soldiers for help? ”
"He's just pretending, the Enlightenment Party is now powerful, and the household judge is forced to obey their orders, the Lord is right, the Qing State must have a warning intention to kill chickens and set an example for Vietnam, and we in North Korea have to pay attention." Concubine Min nodded firmly, "No matter what we think inside, we still need to accept China's jurisdiction on the surface, otherwise, Japan will not be able to let us sleep peacefully." ”
Li Xi sighed, small countries are so difficult to deal with, it was originally right to do a big thing, in the past Ming Dynasty, it was only by relying on China's support that it was able to resist the invasion of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but now the Japanese Empire is gradually rising, and Korea has now become a restless country that sways left and right, and everything has to be flattered, naturally, the Qing State is far more powerful than Japan, but the Qing State does not manage the affairs of Korea very well, which is a fortunate thing at first sight, but also a difficult thing, fortunately that North Korea belongs to China, and there are not many obligations, It's just a tribute once a few years, but the dividends enjoyed are making the Japanese red-eyed, but now it has become a difficult thing, the Chinese rarely have any official actions in Korea, before because of a certain mutiny (the Korean mutiny is too many to be named) sent a team of 3,000 people to garrison, other things should not care, although it is a lot of silver to offer, but there will be no worry about the emperor overriding the king, but now Japan is gradually pressing, political, economic and military step by step, At this time, if you don't let Qing Guo help, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of "not thinking about it" in the future!
"Lord, since Gyeongwoo Palace is too cramped here, we might as well tell Kim Yujun to return to Gyeongbokgung Palace to live." Concubine Min came up with a plan, "This place is too small, it will not be conducive to the Qing army Lord Yuan to rescue us in the future, Gyeongbokgung Palace is more open there, if we go back, the speed of the Qing army to clear the Kaihua Party will definitely be accelerated." ”
Li Xi was very satisfied, Concubine Min was not only a wife for him, but also a very good partner in politics, he completely agreed with Concubine Min's opinion, so he called Shang Shan in and asked him to tell Kim Yunjun, "Gyeongwoo Palace is very small, my knee rheumatism attack, I must return to Gyeongbokgung Palace to live." ”
Shang Shan obeyed the order and went out, Li Xi continued to Concubine Min, "Middle Temple, now that the Japanese are becoming more and more arrogant, I am afraid that there will be something more excessive in the future, I think, send the prince to China." ”
"What?" Concubine Min's face changed greatly, and the bead flowers on her head couldn't stop shaking, she hurriedly moved a few steps forward, leaned forward, and supported the ground with both hands, and the North Koreans were all kneeling on the ground, "Lord, tile grains?" Why did you send your son to China? ”
"Because our strength is not enough to protect the prince," Li Xi has been the king for so many years, although his ears are soft, and he has no commendable political achievements, but he still has a little vision, "The Qing State can ensure the safety of the prince very well, and our actions are also to reassure China and let them understand that we are very loyal." ”
"There is no need to let the prince go to China as a hostage!"
"Middle Temple," Li Xi's voice was low, obviously a little displeased, "What hostage?" Be careful what you say and do! It is a great honor to be able to go to Beijing to accept China's most advanced culture, according to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty before, the children of the royal family of the vassal countries can go to Beijing to study, but only we and Vietnam did not send the children of the clan to China, this is a good opportunity, not to suffer, the prince of Sulu is very friendly with the Tongzhi Emperor of the year, although the Tongzhi Emperor died, but the remaining kindness has been blessed by the Sulu State, and now in the south, Even Spain would not dare not disrespect the Sulu country, and if it can enter Beijing to study, make friends with ministers and royal families, and possibly even make friends with the emperor of the Celestial Empire, then our North Korea will be truly stable and no longer bullied by anyone. ”
Concubine Min is a quite shrewd person, but when it comes to her own son, who has been canonized as the son of Wang Shizi, her usual shrewdness disappeared without a trace, "The prince is very bold, his personality is also very cowardly, and his health has not been good, if he goes to the Qing Kingdom, I am afraid that his body will not be able to support it!"
