Chapter 133: Return to the Ming Dynasty
"Impossible!"
As soon as Cui Mingji's words fell, Li Liang shouted reluctantly. He has been inquired in many ways, and this jade pendant is only qualified to be used by the king. How can what the say be false?
At this time, the eyes of everyone in the hall were looking at Cui Mingji.
Cui Mingji looked at Li Liang with an angry face and smiled slightly.
"Do you know where your flaws are?"
"You're wrong, you shouldn't take out this jade pendant. Because it reminds me of an old thing. ”
"When the first king first succeeded to the throne, he once summoned me to the palace to discuss matters, and at that time I was still a judge of Cao Cao. After discussing the political affairs, the first king took out a jade pendant for me to admire. It is said that it is withered by the best jade rewarded by the Ming Dynasty, the first king liked it very much, and then accidentally lost it when he went to the back mountain to play, and the first king was distressed for many days. As for how it got to you, I don't know. And the palace maid you said should have been kicked out of the palace by fornicating with the guards, right? These palaces are all recorded, and you will know it when you check it. I also heard the first king say casually when I entered the palace at that time. Besides, the chamberlain you said about taking bribes to let your mother go should also have a record. If you're still alive, just call and ask. ”
After Cui Mingji finished speaking, he no longer looked at Li Liang in front of him, and sat with his head down, not knowing what to think again.
Zhang Zhiji ordered someone to look through the records in the palace and found that there was indeed a record of fornicating with the palace maid sixteen years ago, and recorded the name of the chamberlain who was responsible for disposing of her at that time.
"Han Daye"
Still serving in the palace.
Zhang Zhiji sent someone to find Han Dazhi again and explain the situation.
Han Dazhi immediately knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
"The little one really doesn't know about it! The younger one did take her money and let her go. But she wasn't pregnant at all, and the guard was put to death! ”
Cui Mingji's qualifications are old, and he has always been a celebrity in front of Li Liang. The words spoken are authoritative.
And Han Dazhi, as an old man in the palace, can also be convincing.
At this point, the truth of the matter is clear.
Everyone in the hall turned their eyes to Li Liang, only to see him collapsed to the ground in despair.
"Impossible! Impossible! My mother won't lie to me! You are all working together to bear false witnesses! It's clear that you are quite kings! ”
"Bastard!"
When Zhang Zhiji heard this, he directly waved his hand and asked people to take him out.
Li Liang, it's cold.
Listening to Li Liang's abrupt screams outside, the ministers in the room were a little trembling.
This is also too ruthless, just cut it when you say it.
"What now? It's been more than ten days, and I can't even find anyone. It's a fucking fake. General Ben is still waiting to return to Beijing to resume his life, how can he stay with you all the time? ”
Zhang Zhiji looked at the Korean ministers in the hall and said with some dissatisfaction.
"I'll give you another ten days, if you can't find the royal family, this general will return to the court. An army of 50,000 is stationed, and every day people eat what horses chew, and they don't want silver? I'm talking about it in front of me, when the time comes, you will have chaos in North Korea, and we won't care about it anymore. It just so happens that whoever wins the battle becomes the king, and I am very happy. ”
After speaking, Zhang Zhiji walked out with his own soldiers.
The people in the hall were stunned and looked at each other.
It's not that we don't want to look for it, what we find is fake, what can we do? If you pull it out, you can cut it, and we won't even be able to get a fake one back.
Is the heavens going to destroy my Joseon Dynasty?
Suddenly, some ministers looked sad and at a loss for what was to come.
That night, Zhang Zhiji hosted a banquet for Cui Mingji at his residence.
"Cui Yuanjun, thank you for today's events." Zhang Zhiji said while pouring wine for Cui Mingji.
"I wonder what Grandpa plans to do next?" Cui Mingji didn't answer Zhang Zhiji's words, after all, betrayal is not something to show off. But he quietly changed his name for Zhang Zhiji.
"What do you think of Cui Yuanjun?" Zhang Zhiji did not answer, but asked with a smile.
"If Grandpa withdraws all the soldiers stationed in other cities, I wonder if anyone will take the opportunity to make trouble?"
"Haha! If so? ”
"That shows that North Korea will really have no peaceful day without the Ming Dynasty."
"General Ben doesn't want to see this kind of thing happen, but our army is here to help you drive out Jiannu. How can you stay here for a long time? It's not right! ”
"What if it is the common will of the whole country?"
"It's... Then you have to bother Cui Yuanjun to do more work for the people. ”
"Well said."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and they held their glasses together.
On the second day, Zhang Zhiji ordered the evacuation of the soldiers stationed in various cities.
Day and night
A stream of bandits from nowhere attacked Wenshan and plundered the city.
Dozens of people in the city were killed and wounded.
This was followed by riots in Kaesong, Jishan, Qingzhou, Haizhou and other places. For a time, the whole of Korea fell into chaos.
The ministers of the DPRK and China jointly asked to see Zhang Zhiji.
"General, the defenders of the cities cannot be withdrawn. Disaster has befallen to the people when you withdraw! ”
"What then? General Ben can't be stationed in Korea for the rest of his life, right? I am a family man, and my soldiers are also family men. If you don't stay at home, take care of your home for you? Why? Your Majesty is merciful and cannot bear the suffering of your people. But the soldiers are also his people. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat. Are you willing to embarrass your merciful majesty? I have asked Your Majesty for advice. There are five days left on the appointed day, and we will leave as soon as the time comes! ”
After saying that, he ordered someone to drive out the ministers.
"What can I do?"
"yes. As soon as the Ming army leaves in a few days, won't this royal city also have to be messed up? ”
"That's right. The family's property is here, what should I do if I am robbed? ”
The crowd fell silent.
You idiot how do you tell the truth.
We are asking for the lives of the people.
"Why don't you go and ask Cui Yuanjun?"
"That's fine!"
A group of people gathered around Cui Mingji's mansion again.
"Yuan-kun. We just went to see the British Duke of Daming, and said that if we can't find anyone from the clan in a few days, he will definitely withdraw his troops. Can't let him go! ”
"Think of a way, Yuanjun!"
Each of these people has a family, land, land and property. No one wants the domestic situation to be turbulent, and who is willing to live in fear all day long.
Cui Mingji quietly listened to their gossip.
"The Ming army has traveled thousands of miles to help us drive away Jiannu, which is already benevolent and righteous. As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day. At present, all the clans have died at the hands of thieves, and the Ming army has retreated. Our dynasty will be torn apart, and there will be endless wars. It is we defenseless people who are suffering! If I want my people to live in peace. I'm afraid that at the moment, there is only one way to go. ”
"Yuanjun, please say it quickly!"
"Submit to the Ming Dynasty!" Cui Mingji spoke slowly.
"What?"
"How can this be done! Won't we become slaves? ”
Choi's suggestion caused a violent backlash.
They are afraid of death, but they also want to save face.
Returning to the Ming Dynasty may bring a stable life to the people. What about these people? Although they often call themselves people, they are not really people. They have families, homes, fields and property. Can you compare it to those mud legs?
"Right now, if we take the initiative to submit, we can still talk to Da Ming about some conditions. If we wait for some time, I'm afraid it's hard to say whether the net worth and life of the people we are waiting for are still there. ”
Cui Mingji naturally knew what they were thinking. It's nothing more than thinking about preserving his position, his family property. As for the life and death of the people, how many people really care?
His words calmed everyone down and fell into deep thought.
"Yuanjun, if we make a request, can Ming Ting agree? Or will it change overnight? ”
"That's right, Yuanjun."
Cui Mingji smiled secretly in his heart, and his face was indeed pensive.
"I don't think so. If you think about it, even if you submit to the Ming Dynasty, someone will always govern this huge Korea. The Ming Emperor has no choice but to use us! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly became enlightened.
Oh, yes!
Makes sense!
"Go back and counsel and counsel and see what you want, and put it forward. Let's go and communicate with Zhang Zhiji together. ”
"Good!"
"Then I'll retire first."
The crowd walked away excitedly.
Cui Mingji quickly passed the news to Zhang Zhiji, so that Zhang Zhiji was ready to deal with it.
The ministers of the DPRK and China began to connect in full swing.
Vowed to come up with a charter before the Ming army retreated.
September 28
The day before the Ming army withdrew, Cui Mingji and a group of ministers found Zhang Zhiji.
A group of people stayed in Zhang Zhiji's house for a long time, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
In short, when they came out, they were all smiling.
September 29
Hour and moment
Zhang Zhiji was dressed in military uniform and was ready to embark on the journey home.
But as soon as he came out of the city gate, he found that the people were densely standing outside the door, and when he saw Zhang Zhiji leading the troops out, he immediately knelt down.
