"I am a king, but I am a woman, how can I sit on the throne?" Li Shujing said in surprise.

"It's normal for a woman to be a king, there are many queens in the West, and there are queens in Japan, which is nothing unusual." Xu Yuandao.

"But a man in North Korea can't accept a woman as a king, and I'm your woman, I'm going to be a queen, what should you do with your children?" Li Shujing asked again.

"In the face of more important survival issues, there is nothing that cannot be accepted, besides, you are only the queen in name, you don't need to really go to North Korea, just continue to stay in Harbour City most of the time, and the affairs of North Korea will be handled by your father, the regent, I think a small country with a population of several million, your father should take care of it."

Xu Yuan hugged his hand and said.

Li Shujing nodded suddenly, it is proper, this arrangement is really good, the king's crown is worn on her head, but she doesn't have to deal with complicated affairs, she can continue to stay in the White Castle to enjoy life, and continue to take care of her children to serve her husband, which makes her very satisfied, after all, she has long been accustomed to life here, her hometown in North Korea is a backward and bitter cold place, and it is okay to go back for a few days once in a while, but it is a little difficult to wait for a long time - even if a so-called king's manor will be built.

In addition, her father Li Hui's wish can also come true, return to North Korea as the Prince Regent, clean up Li Liang's traitor, and then take care of the king's manor and the affairs of the kingdom, because he is only a regent, not a restoration of the king, he should be able to dispel most of his worries and concerns, and he will not be too opposed to him as the Prince Regent.

"Okay, I can be regent...... Thank you, Lord Ran. Li Hui stood up and bowed, and felt quite satisfied.

"You're welcome, so be it!"

Xu Yuan made another arrangement: "Over there in Seoul, the envoys sent by Li Liang have already set off by boat, I will send a boat to intercept them, and then send them to Bagang...... Rest assured, there are professional negotiators to assist you, such as the Governor of Bagang, Chiang Dae-jin, the Jeju County Commander Choi Wen-deok, and the 50,000-strong loyal army, all of whom will cooperate with you and become the confidence for your successful negotiations. ”

"Good!"

Li Hui nodded excitedly, with the entire Xujiazhuang as the backing, why worry about not being able to do it?

……

Two days later.

June 28.

The southern tip of Jeju Island, Bagang.

Although this port, a few years ago was still a wilderness, but after just three years of construction, has undergone great changes, has become a population of millions, annual cargo throughput of tens of millions of stones, and an important fishery center port, creating an annual output value of hundreds of millions of silver dollars, can be described as full of vitality and vitality, and all the Korean people living in this port city, living on this island, most of them have achieved food and clothing, a small number of people have reached a well-off life, plus there is no oppression of the two classes of nobles, Everyone is very happy and happy, and the loyalty and worship of Xujiazhuang are off the charts, but they are full of fear and disgust for their homeland North Korea.

In other words, how can these Korean people be like this, obviously more than ninety percent of them are from the peninsula, even if they don't miss their hometown, there is no need to have a hatred, it's a big deal and never go back, why bother talking badly about each other?

But they were afraid.

I am afraid that King Li Liang will never forget this small island, and he thinks about sending troops to recapture it every day.

Fearing that the two classes of nobles would rob them of their land, plunder their property, oppress them into slavery, and return to the hellish days of the past.

Therefore, on Jeju Island, after experiencing what it is like to be a free and equal person, almost 100% of the Korean people have become haters of the country, hoping to become the people of Xujiazhuang forever.

Kim Sang-hun, Choi Hyo-il, and Lim Kyung-ye, the three negotiators, are not the first time they have come to this small island, and they have come no less than five times this year alone.

The main purpose is to persuade the more than 1.8 million Korean people on this island to return to the kingdom as soon as possible, continue to cultivate their land, run their business, and not stay on this island for a long time, the Tartar army has all retreated, the danger is gone, and if they don't go back, the land will have to be abandoned, and the kingdom's economy will collapse - the country needs them to go back to save, and they also said a lot of bad things about Xujiazhuang, what is uneasy and kind, there must be a conspiracy.

Refuse.

They were categorically refused, and some of them thought they were verbose, thinking that they were slandering the people of Xujiazhuang, so they simply faced them with an iron fist and beat them violently, giving them a painful lesson.

Therefore, after Kim Sang-heon, Choi Hyo-il, and Lin Qingye were intercepted at sea by the ironclad warships of the Xu family's fleet this time and forced to be invited to Bagang, they did not dare to talk nonsense this time, let alone persuade the Korean people to go back, after all, it was not pleasant to be beaten and beaten up.

The second is heartache.

When the three of them got on an electric tricycle and went to the governor's palace from the hotel where they were staying, perhaps the North Korean official uniforms they were wearing were too eye-catching and dazzling, so they passed through the downtown and were seen by many North Korean people.

Wrath.

Hate.

Fierce.

Hate.

and other negative gazes, hitting the three of them, making them feel as if they were in an enemy country, surrounded by enemies.

At the same time, I feel heartbroken.

Jin Shangxian said with a sad face: "These are the people of the kingdom, how can they be like this? ”

Cui Xiaoyi shook his head and said: "People are enemies of the country, but in this case, what did we do wrong to make these people hate and hate us so much?" ”

Lin Qingye said angrily: "It's all Xu Jiazhuang's fault, the people of my North Korea are so simple and hardworking, no matter how much suffering they can bear, they have not succumbed to any enemy, but Xu Jiazhuang deliberately gave them high wages, let them live in a house that does not leak wind and rain, and live a life where there are often fish and meat to eat, Xu Jiazhuang used this despicable means to make our people no longer able to endure suffering, and they were brainwashed, so that they lost their most precious quality, and they no longer looked like the people of North Korea." ”

"Makes sense."

Jin Shangxian nodded in agreement, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but feel blushing and ashamed, ordinary people don't pursue a good life, do they still like to live a hard life? Xu Jiazhuang just grasped the weakness of human nature, if the kingdom can provide a better life, how can these people stay here and not leave, how can they see them as enemies?

Iron must be hard by itself!

However, the wealth of Xujiazhuang is impossible to achieve in the Kingdom of Korea, because whether it is in terms of resources, technology, talents or management systems, Xujiazhuang is unsurpassable, even if you study modestly, you have to learn for decades, and you also need to invest a lot of money and costs.

If you want to catch up with Xujiazhuang and embark on the fast track of development, it is impossible to do it on your own.

Unless......

Jin Shangxian hurriedly shook his head again, he couldn't think about it, he couldn't think in that direction, if the monarch knew that he dared to have such thoughts, the lightest punishment would be dismissal.

……

Arrive at the Doge's Palace.

Step into a rather remote, small conference room.

When I saw the gray-haired old man, holding a newspaper, sitting on a sofa chair and reading, he also wore a pair of thick-framed reading glasses, drank a sip of Longjing tea from time to time, and occasionally saw a happy place, he would show a knowing smile, giving people a feeling of an ordinary ordinary, kind-faced, harmless retired old man.

But the three envoys, Kim Sang-heon, Choi Hyo-il, and Lin Qingye, saw this old man.

His legs and feet immediately trembled, and his face showed emotions such as excitement, fear, and fear.

"Your Highness Guang Haijun, no, my king, my king, I didn't expect you to be here, guilty! The minister is guilty, the king, you have been trapped in the order on Ganghwa Island for many years, the minister has eaten in vain, and there is nothing to be done, the minister is really guilty, please punish the king! Lin Qingye knelt on the ground with a thud, walked forward on his knees, came to Li Hui, hugged his thighs and cried.

"Your Majesty, have you come back this time to save the kingdom? If that's the case, that's great, in the years you've been away, the faint monarch Li Liang has gone against the grain, the sky is angry and the people are resentful, and the Houjin army has repeatedly plundered, taking away millions of young people, but the faint monarch Li Liang is powerless, he can't protect the country and protect the people, and he can't ask for Ming reinforcements, and the people of the country are suffering day by day, and I hope that the king can go back and clean up the broken mountains and rivers and save millions of Li people! Cui Xiaoyi also slipped to his knees, crying and hugging Li Hui's other leg.

The performance of these two colleagues surprised Kim Sang-heon.

It's too fast.

The speed of their rebellion was too fast, although the words of the two of them also popped up in Jin Shangxian's mind in an instant, but out of basic discipline, as Li Liang's courtiers, can they be a little restrained, and how can they blurt out the word faint king? Li Liang is indeed incompetent and wasteful, but it is a bit too much to describe as a faint king, and as a courtier, even if he is dissatisfied, he cannot be easily betrayed.

Come to think of it.

Jin Shangxian walked over, bowed to Li Hui, and said, "Your Highness, I don't know what the purpose of your return this time is to usurp the throne and become a tyrant again?" Or is it to save the people of Li from fire and water, and to save the sky and make up for the cracks in the sky? ”

"What if it's a seizure of the throne?" Li Hui raised his head and asked with a smile.

"Then the minister can't follow!"

Jin Shangxian twisted his head to the side and said: "The minister will swear to block it to the death, unless he beheads the minister and straddles the minister's body." ”

Hear him say that.

Cui Xiaoyi got up, pointed at him and said, "What else is there to follow Li Liang, Jin Shangxian, don't make a mistake!" ”

Lin Qingye also said with a fierce face: "Brother Jin, you and I have a colleague, and we have agreed on the sons and daughters' families, but if you are so ignorant of current affairs, continue to be foolish and loyal, and do not want to set things right, I can only cut the table with you and kill you, the rebel party!" ”

"Brother Lin, if you are in a hurry to make meritorious service and want to accept the nomination, please do it now."

Kim Sang-hun said, slowly closing his eyes.

"You-" Lin Qingye was a little annoyed.

"Enough!"

Li Hui put down the newspaper, stood up, glanced at Jin Shangxian with appreciation, and said: "There will be faithfulness in the city of ten rooms, and the ancient sages will not deceive me, but you all guessed wrong, I came back this time, not to usurp the throne, but to get back what belongs to me, and then settle accounts with that Li Qi, in addition, I have received the support of Xu Jiazhuang, this time back to the kingdom, I will establish a huge king's manor, establish a new order, and the king's throne will be inherited by my daughter Li Shujing, and the son is my grandson Xu Jiayuan, In the future, Jiawon will be the new king of Joseon, and he will marry a Korean noblewoman, and he will develop Joseon into an equally prosperous and wealthy land......"

It took more than half an hour.

Facing the envoys Jin Shangxian, Cui Xiaoyi, and Lin Qingye, Li Hui completely stated his plan and purpose.

And in the ears of Kim Sang-hun and others.

The king's manor, millions of acres of land, Xujiazhuang support, tax exemption for all, and let the Houjin army no longer plunder.

And to establish the closest cooperation with Xujiazhuang in ten or twenty years, to build the Korean Kingdom into a royal paradise, to achieve a well-off for everyone, to make any surrounding forces dare not invade and harass, to become a civilized, free and prosperous country, will not be too far behind Xujiazhuang.

After listening to these beautiful descriptions.

Cui Xiaoyi and Lin Qingye were directly drunk, deeply intoxicated, their faces were full of longing, and they couldn't help but shed tears, and they said excitedly:

"His Royal Highness Prince Regent, this path is right, we should have taken this road a long time ago, if you had come back early and come up with this plan earlier, how could the Korean people have suffered so much."

"Yes, we have taken too many detours, we have fallen too far behind others, and even Japan next to us is two years faster than us, and Li Liang, the faint king, should have come down from a position a long time ago."

At this time, Kim Sang-hun was also inclined to this so-called "King's Manor" development plan, which could bring huge benefits to all strata of North Korea, but ......

"His Royal Highness Prince Regent, the minister is willing to serve the new king, but can I ask if you can spare Li Liang's life, he is our king after all, even if there are many mistakes, it is enough to depose his throne, the minister is willing to guarantee with his life, Li Liang will be a rich man with peace of mind, and he will not dare to think about anything wrong, it is really not possible, he can also be exiled to Ganghwa Island."

Kim Sang-hun knelt down and pleaded.

"Banishing Jianghua Island and letting him taste what it is like to be imprisoned for more than ten years."

Li Hui nodded, and said with a light in his eyes: "Okay, just kill Li Ju like that, it's cheaper for him, I can spare his life." "Torture him slowly!

"Thank you, Prince Regent!"

Kim Sang-hun bowed and bowed.

Then they conspired to discuss how to recapture the kingdom, and the general plan was: after Kim Sang-hun and the three of them returned to Korea, they would move around to contact and win over supporters, while Li Hui would take a few days later, with 50,000 loyal troops, land in Incheon Port, and take Seoul directly.
