Nanking.

Liu Shunqing trembled into the palace wall, followed the female officials and guards, and walked through the huge Forbidden City.

He has become the spiritual leader of the Chinese people, and there is also a real leader. The leader of the real power was Ahn Kyung-won, commanded 300 troops, and was stationed outside the city of Hanyang.

The two have already agreed that if the righteous action is successful, they will join forces to support the new king. At that time, the thieves will be punished, the court will exchange blood, Liu Shunqing will be the first minister of the literary class, and An Jingyuan will be the first minister of the martial arts class.

After arranging the domestic missionary affairs, Liu Shunqing quietly left Korea by boat.

He did not have the status of a diplomatic envoy and could not meet the emperor smoothly. So he went to Honglu Temple to report that the king of Korea was going to rebel, and was actively expanding his army to prepare for the Northern Expedition.

Honglu Temple did not dare to slack off and immediately reported to the emperor.

Finally came to the Yingmin Palace, Liu Shunqing lay on the ground from afar: "Liu Shunqing, the grass people of the lower country of North Korea, long live His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty!" ”

Zhao Han said: "Flat, give a seat." ”

Liu Shunqing was brought to sit down in front of the emperor, and such a courtesy moved him to tears, and he wanted to repay God with death.

Zhao Han asked, "The Korean envoy only left last month, and I have already sent the envoy to accompany him and officially canonize the new monarch of Joseon. Why does this Korean lord rebel? ”

Liu Shunqing said: "The former king of North Korea is expanding his armaments. Now the new king has expanded his army by 3,000. The monarchs and ministers of the imperial court all wanted to recover Baozhou, and they clamored for the so-called Northern Expedition all day long. I think that at the beginning, the Houjin Tatars ravaged Korea, and it was the troops of the Celestial Empire stationed in Baozhou that ensured the well-being of the Korean people. The Celestial Empire is a grace to our North Korea, and Baozhou should be dedicated to the Celestial Empire. Today's Korean monarchs and ministers, not thinking about the emperor's grace, even tried in vain to raise troops, and the true grace will take revenge on the jackals! ”

"Joseon monarchs, do you really want to take back Baozhou?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Liu Shunqing cut the railway.

Zhao Hancai didn't believe such nonsense, and lent 10,000 guts to the Korean monarchs and ministers, and they didn't dare to really start a war with China. The so-called Northern Expedition was nothing more than a cover for a power struggle.

Of course, even if it's a pretense, you have to be condemned!

Zhao Han instructed: "Send a clipper to chase the envoys, don't give the king's golden seal, and reprimand the Korean monarchs and ministers for being disrespectful." If this matter is not clarified, the Celestial Empire will not canonize the Korean lord again! ”

Liu Shunqing was a little disappointed that China did not send troops, but he still flattered: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Zhao Han said: "You have come all the way to report the news, I think you must be a loyal and righteous person, and you will be given a brocade robe. You can stay in Nanjing temporarily, or you can go to Jinling University to study, and all study fees are free. ”

This is cultivating the Belt and Road Party.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Shunqing was overjoyed.

If he can get a diploma from Jinling University and make friends with China's great Confucianism, he will inevitably be a master of Confucianism after returning to China, and he will gain unparalleled prestige in Shilin.

However, it was said that the envoys had been overtaken, and the envoys remained silent and continued to sail with the North Korean officials.

When they arrived in Hanyang, the king of Joseon was arresting people everywhere.

Those North Korean rebels knew about secrecy at the beginning, but more and more people were connected to various strata, and it was inevitable that many people would leak the news.

After the plan was made public, the Korean monarchs and ministers were furious, and there was no distinction between which party, and the two classes of nobles joined forces to suppress it. They fought to the death, and that was an internal matter of the aristocracy, and no other class was allowed to engage in moths.

As the chaotic party caught more and more, the two classes of nobles were very embarrassed.

Because most of the chaotic parties that danced the most fiercely were the sons of the two classes of nobles. Some of the bloodlines are far away, but they basically don't have five suits, and even if they do, they are closely related to the main family - this kind of middle-aged group, the status is the most embarrassing, life is far better than that of commoners, but they are on the edge of power, breaking their heads and wanting to enter the inner circle, but they are stubbornly suppressed by the nobles and cannot rise.

"Kill all your homes!"

"You can't raid all your homes, you can just punish the evil."

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished, and no one can be allowed to escape!"

"There are too many plants, and I am afraid that it will lead to big changes."

"What can change? It's all head-killing! ”

“……”

How to deal with the chaotic party, the two classes of nobles quarreled themselves.

With the prosperity of trade between China and North Korea, many of the concubine families were business agents of the aristocracy. Most of these concubines are still normal, and they are not all involved, only a few rebels plan to quietly make trouble.

Kill them all, who will do business and make money?

Moreover, several major factions blamed each other, and they all said that each other's concubine families were the masterminds. Vainly trying to take this opportunity to weaken the other party's subordinate forces, they quarreled all day long, and there were a lot of chaotic parties in the prison, and they didn't know which one to kill for the time being.

It's a farce.

Messing with the party is like a farce, and dealing with the party is also like a farce.

But one thing is certain, the new ideas have spread, and in the countryside far away from Hanyang, countless gentry, Xiucai, and village officials have been ignited in their hearts. Their strength is too weak, and they are scattered, they dare not raise things at all, but they can continue to spread this kind of thinking.

Thought is unstoppable and unstoppable!

The two classes of nobles quarreled endlessly, but they also quarreled with certain results. For example, Liu Shunqing, who took the lead in making trouble, must raid his family and exterminate his family. Of course, the extermination of the clan only exterminates the Shu clan, and cannot implicate any noble relatives.

Liu Shunqing, who was studying in Nanjing University, didn't know that all the men in his family had been killed, and the female dependents of the whole family had been assigned as slaves.

In addition, many rebellious parties fled north in panic and ran to Baozhou to seek protection from the Datong Army.

An Jingyuan, who commanded 300 troops outside Hanyang City, fled even faster, and his wife and children couldn't take care of it, so he hid in Baozhou City and shivered. With this kind of goods, and a group of powerless concubines, let them rebel for a hundred years and not think of success.

Dang Chongjun, the envoy of the Chinese canonization, came to Hanyang to see the chaos and secretly sent his men to inquire about the situation, while he ate and drank with North Korean officials.

After the matter was clarified, the king of Joseon, Yi Di, had already finished bathing and changing clothes, waiting to welcome the edict of the canonization of the king.

A grand canonization ceremony was held in Korea, and the king and two classes of nobles were all present, lined up in order to wait for the envoy of the Celestial Empire to appear.

"Meet the angels!" Li Di personally stepped forward to greet him.

When Dang Chongjun saw Li Di, he stood still and looked at each other with a gloomy face.

Li Di was worried and angry in his heart, he was the king of a country, where had he been treated like this?

Li Yan squeezed out a smile: "Angel, please come in." ”

"In my opinion, there is no need for this," Dang Chongjun said, "There is a righteous man in North Korea, Liu Shunqing, who went to Nanjing to report the rebellion of Er and others. The Son of Heaven did not believe one-sided words and sent me to inquire about the details. If not, it will be canonized as before. If there is such a thing, let me go back the same way and change the Datong army to ask for the guilt! ”

The Korean monarch and ministers were shocked, and Li Di also hurriedly said: "There is no such thing!" ”

Dang Chongjun raised his voice and scolded: "If there is no such thing, why did Liu Shunqing exterminate his family and raid his family?" What the hell are you trying to hide! ”

Li Di was speechless, and he didn't know how to defend for a while.

Zheng Taihe, the leader of the council, said: "So that the angels know that there are a number of chaotic parties in our country, intending to kill the monarch and rebel." That Liu Shunqing is the head of the thief, and he absconded to Nanjing for fear of crime, and he is by no means a righteous man. ”

Dang Chongjun angrily reprimanded: "You say that a chaotic party is a chaotic party? If there are people suing the officials, they will report the bullies and the people. Without waiting for the government to investigate, the bully killed the entire family of the people, and also framed the people as Jiangyang thieves. Do you think the government will believe this kind of nonsense? ”

Ling Dunning Li Jingzao came out and said: "Angel Rong Bing, there is more than one of these chaotic parties, they have already confessed, then Liu Shunqing is indeed the leader of the chaotic party." If the angels do not believe, they can go through the dossier, and the confessions of the rebels match each other. ”

"How do you know that you are not bent into a trick? How do you know that you didn't arrest a group of righteous people? Dang Chongjun asked.

The Korean monarch and minister were speechless for an instant.

They have confessions, they have evidence, but what if the Chinese envoys don't believe it?

Dang Chongjun put the scepter in his hand on the ground, and asked sharply: "Righteous people Liu Shunqing, report that you will expand the army by 3,000." Is there such a thing? ”

Li Di opened his mouth, swallowed his saliva and said: "There is indeed an expansion of the army, but it is not against the Celestial Empire, but the internal peace in Korea, and more soldiers are needed to maintain the city and countryside." ”

Dang Chongjun raised his arm and pointed at Li Yan's nose and asked, "Have you clamored for the Northern Expedition?" ”

"Nothing like that!" Li Di's voice was crying, he was really scared.

Dang Chongjun said: "The last Korean ruler was not honest, wantonly expanded the army, and also built firearms. The Heavenly Pilgrim is merciful and ignores your petty actions. But you don't repent, you, the lord of the country, have just succeeded to the throne, and before you have been canonized by the Celestial Empire, you dare to expand the army by 3,000 again. In North Korea, there is no civil unrest, so who are you going to deal with when you expand your army? Say! ”

Song Shilie came out and said: "Angel Rong Bing, there is indeed civil unrest in my country, hidden in the countryside. ”

"Nonsense, you wait to justify with the artillery!" After Dang Chongjun finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The Korean monarchs tried to keep them, but they were stopped by the soldiers of the mission, and no one dared to use force against the guards of the mission, so they could only watch them leave Hanyang City.

Li Di was almost paralyzed by fright, and looked left and right: "What can I do if so?" What can I do? ”

Song Shilie shouted: "When the Yuan Party is punished, they are making trouble for the Northern Expedition!" ”

"That's right, destroy the original party and send its head to Nanjing to apologize!"

"The original party should be punished, in order to thank the countrymen!"

“……”

It's started again, it's started again, and it's still playing party fighting.

Of course, the former party officials will not sit idly by, and they also stood up and said: "King, it is easy to kill us. But if you kill us and send your head to Nanjing, won't it confirm that our country wants to raise troops for the Northern Expedition? This is a great sin of treason! ”

Li Di was stunned for a moment, and the rest of the ministers couldn't refute it, because what he said was too reasonable.

Song Shilie also said: "The original party can not be killed, but it must be punished for the crime of bewitching the king." Please Your Majesty, expel these former parties from the court, and never use them in this life and this life! ”

"Please drive out the original party!"

One minister after another knelt.

Li Di originally planned to use the original party to suppress the ruling faction in the court.

But this kind of scene, Li Di couldn't hold back at all, and said with hatred: "Chase, chase, according to your wishes, expel all the original party!" But what should I do when the Celestial Empire army comes? ”

No one answered, no one could answer.
