With Divar's communication, the freed slaves agreed to pay Chen Yongan's fleet a hardship fee and a thank you fee after being sent to a nearby port.

However, not every port is acceptable, such as the cities of the Indian countries along the coast of this sea, where they are not familiar with the place or even the local language, and sending them there is no different from looking for death, so they hope that the fleet will be able to send them to Colombo, Dutch Ceylon, where they can find a way to pay for the hard work and gratitude of the fleet.

Although he was not very willing to turn around and return to Colombo, for the sake of the white silver taels, Chen Yongan still let these ragged slaves get on the ship, and forcibly unloaded the guns on the robbed galleys, transported them to the sixth-class ship, and then directly abandoned the galleys, turned around, and sailed in the direction of Colombo.

Of course, before leaving, in order to prevent the white slaves from gathering together, Chen Yongan broke them up and stuffed them into five ships before embarking on the return journey.

Although Chen Yongan didn't read much, he still understood the truth that people who are not of my race must have different hearts, not to mention that in the more than ten years since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, he has fought an unknown number of battles with foreign devils in the West, and it is always good to be more vigilant.

There were not many people who thought the same way as Chen Yong'an, and although the Han Chinese on the ships did not show their discriminatory attitudes to the fullest, they were still on guard against the white slaves, and did not let them go near the cabins where the guns and ammunition were stored.

This sense of detachment can be felt even by the most sluggish white people, who have just escaped from the wolf's den, and dare not rush into the tiger's den again, so they endure all the way, thinking that they will be free when they return to Colombo.

With this thought, although the people of the two ethnic groups on the five ships did not have the same heart, they still returned to Colombo safely, but some of them disappeared without a trace as soon as they got off the boat, and only some of them gave Chen Yongan the hard work fee and thank you fee for the fleet as promised, which made them can't help but scold these untrustworthy foreign devils, and even the Portuguese Divar also scolded.

You must know that these Han people can get a little more thank you money, and he can get more or less a little more, but because those so-called compatriots ran away directly, the cooked duck that should have been to his mouth flew like this!

No matter how dissatisfied they were, this was someone else's territory after all, so the Han people could only smash their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, endure this breath, replenish some ammunition and supplies in the port, and embark on a journey to explore the west again.

……

At the same time, Pei Binh Province.

The crown prince's chariot finally arrived in Beiping, a city that had been the capital of the empire for hundreds of years, even after losing its status as the capital.

After the careful management of Beiping officials, the city has come out of the haze of Wu Sangui's wanton looting more than ten years ago, except for a part of the former Forbidden City that was burned by fire and the palace has not been repaired, the rest of the territory can no longer see any traces of destruction.

In fact, over the years, the prefect of Beiping and the political envoy of Hebei Province have played several times, asking the imperial court to allocate funds for the repair of the damaged palace in the Forbidden City, but they have been rejected by the imperial court - the imperial court means that the world only needs one Forbidden City, and the emperor will sit in Jiangning instead of going north, and the Forbidden City in Beiping will not need to continue to be maintained.

This can also be seen from Su Yan's determination to set the imperial capital in Jiangning, although according to common sense, the imperial court wants to control Siberia, and the capital of Beiping is the best choice, but at present, the territory of Daxia is vast, if there is no system to help maintain it, no matter where it is located, there will be some meaning of taking care of one or the other.

If you want to control Siberia, Beiping is a good choice, if you want to control Nanyang and Australia, Jiangning is also the best choice, and if you want to control Anxi, Mengchi and other western regions, Chang'an is also the best choice, but there is only one capital, and it is impossible to set these three cities as the capital.

The situation will only get worse if the three provinces are set up as capitals, repeating the mistakes of the historical battle between the two capitals of the Great Yuan and triggering a large-scale civil war, if only it could be pacified and a new emperor elected

I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be divided into Northern Xia, Southern Xia and Western Xia, and it will be fun.

However, it is not appropriate to set up three capitals, and Beiping and Chang'an are set as companion capitals, just like the Ming Dynasty's two-capital system, there is no problem, and some ministers in the court have realized that Jiangning, the capital of Dingdu, can only take care of the Han land and Nanyang, and can not take into account the disadvantages of Xianbeilia and the Western Regions, and began to propose that Beiping and Chang'an be set as the accompanying capital, but it has not been determined.

To get back to the point, after the prince arrived in Beiping, he did not listen to the proposal of the political envoy of Hebei and the prefect of Beiping, and chose another place to live, but directly led the team to live in the Forbidden City, which had been abandoned for more than ten years.

Although the Forbidden City has not been repaired for more than ten years, it has preserved enough integrity except for the palaces that were affected by the fire, so the prince only needs to clean and tidy up a few of the palaces before he can live directly in them.

During the period when the prince lived in the Forbidden City, local officials entered the palace almost every day to greet the prince and bring small items from the people to pay tribute, hoping to please the prince - if nothing else, the prince is the future emperor, and it is also good to have a good relationship with the future emperor in advance.

Half a month later, the convoy escorting the king and ministers of the Joseon finally arrived in Beiping, because it was determined that the king of Joseon could not continue to sit in the position of the king in the future, so the attitude of the Xia Dynasty towards Li Di was not so gentle, and they were directly imprisoned in the prison of the yamen of the original criminal department.

After being imprisoned in the prison, Li Di obviously didn't expect that he would be treated like this, he rushed directly to the fence, grabbed the railing with both hands, and shouted outside, demanding that he be released, but in exchange for the disregard of the guards.

In order to prevent any accidents to this group of important political prisoners, the jailers were replaced by the forbidden troops of Yulindu, who had no good attitude towards the criminal king of the Korean vassal state, and were unmoved no matter what Li Li shouted.

Seeing that Li Di was so ignored, the ministers of the other Nanren Party who were imprisoned in the cage immediately became anxious, the truth of the king's humiliation and the death of the ministers was rooted in their hearts, seeing that the monarch was humiliated, the ministers led by Xu Mu knelt on the fence one by one, and kept hitting the railing with their heads, while shouting loudly in their mouths.

Where had the forbidden army of Yulin Du, who was guarding outside, seen this kind of posture, and immediately became anxious, afraid that they would injure themselves and blame them on the guards later, so they all rushed in one by one, forcibly pulling the ministers away to prevent them from hitting their heads again.

Liu Zhen, the deputy envoy of Yulin Dudu, walked directly outside the cell where Li Li was held at this time, he looked at the monarch of a country with an expressionless face, and said, "Your Highness, why bother? You're still waiting inside for the summons of the Three Divisions."

(ps: I forgot about the three law divisions when I wrote it earlier, and I made up for it.) ）

"I was wronged!" Li Di ignored the coldness in Liu Zhen's words, he stretched out his hands through the gap between the fences, grabbed Liu Zhen's sleeves, and did not forget to defend himself: "I am really wronged, this must be someone who wants to frame me, I want to see Your Majesty!"

"This is Beiping!" Liu Zhen shook off Li Di's hand a little impatiently, and said, "Your Majesty has already appointed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the minister of the Imperial Mission, if there is anything, you can wait until you see the Crown Prince and the Three Law Divisions."

"Prince ......"

As soon as he heard that it was the prince who was the minister, Li Di's eyes lit up, he still remembered that the prince was still young, maybe as long as he was sincere in his words and put on a show, he would be able to deal with the prince.

Thinking of this, he calmed down a lot, he withdrew his hands, took a deep breath, and then said, "The widow knows, when will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summon the widow?"

"Waiting for the summons."

Liu Zhen said coldly, and then ignored Li Di, gave him a hasty salute, and led the team out of the prison, while the other Korean ministers wanted to continue shouting, but when they saw their king sitting back on the bed, they didn't shout anymore.

A few days later, the crown prince Su Weize ordered Li Di to be taken out of the prison and interrogated by the Three Law Divisions, and he listened on the sidelines, which immediately made the three officials of the Three Law Divisions a little nervous, but they also knew that this was an opportunity to perform, and if they could take advantage of this to enter the eyes of the prince, the future would be bright.

Soon, Li Di was been

Brought out of the prison, he was escorted by the Yulin Forbidden Army until he entered the political embassy and stood in the hall.

After Li Di stood still, Lian Yiqian, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and two officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple stood up together, the former first introduced the prince who was listening to Li Di, and then introduced two colleagues, reported to their homes, and then began to interrogate Li Di.

Compared with Li Yan's side, the ministers of the Nanren Party who were escorted from North Korea with him fell into the hands of Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei commanded Tongzhi Wang Yuanyong to personally supervise him, whether it was Xu Mu or a low-status official, it was difficult to escape Jinyiwei's torture to extract confessions.

The torture tools here in Peking are much richer than those in North Korea, there are several complete sets of torture tools here, and there are only a few poor ones in North Korea, which are barely enough to deal with cats and dogs, but they can deal with these hard-headed literati, with little effect.

On the side of Beiping, Daxia Jinyiwei inherited the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei, who fell in love with civil officials for hundreds of years, and had already summed up a set of experience, and Daxia Jinyiwei applied this set of experience to the ministers of the Korean vassal state, in a sense, it can be regarded as the stepfather took the seven wolves left by his late father to beat the disobedient stepson.

I don't know if it was the familiar "father's love" that moved the North Korean civil officials, or whether this set of torture to extract confessions was really unbearable for ordinary people, and after a day and a night of interrogation, all the officials, including Xu Mu, were recruited.

They cried and shouted and confessed everything they knew, and under the double torture of spirit and body, they didn't care that this was an act of betrayal of the monarch, and directly sold Li Di without even a pair of underpants to cover his shame.

With these confessions, Wang Yuanyong hurriedly sent them to the prince as soon as possible, although Su Weize was young, he had cultivated a certain ability in the past two years, and immediately brought Li Di out of the prison again and interrogated him overnight.

After Li Di returned to the prison, he saw that it was empty, and he knew that most of the things were not good, and the uneasy mood in his heart became more and more intense.

Subsequently, Liu Zhen's words that he was going to take him away for interrogation confirmed Li Di's guess in his heart, his whole body seemed to be drained, his legs were weak, and the whole person was almost paralyzed on the ground, Liu Zhen didn't care about him, he waved his big hand, and the two forbidden soldiers directly stepped forward to set him up on the left and right, and forcibly took him away.

In front of the confessions of the ministers of the Southern People's Party, Li Di's face was bloodless, he knew that no matter what he said, it was useless, and he had no confidence in his heart to persevere, so he sighed and confessed.

That night, the recital about the confession of the Korean king Li Di was sent to Jiangning in an expedited manner of 800 li, and when the recital was sent to Su Yan's imperial case overnight, the government and the opposition were shaken, and they could never have imagined that the monarch of the vassal country, who had been loyal to the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years, really had the intention to rebel.

For a time, the ministers all jointly called for the ungrateful Korean monarch to be severely punished, deposed from the position of Li Di, and escorted to Jiangning Lingchi to be executed.

In the midst of the controversy among the courtiers, Su Yan finally proposed to issue a decree to depose the Joseon king Li Di on charges of plotting rebellion and opposing the Xia Dynasty, and to appoint his son Li Yan as king, and escort Li Di and the ministers of the Nanren Party to Jiangning to be executed to deter the rest of the vassal states.

In addition, he retained the province of Zhengdongxing, moved the governor of Liangguang and Guangzhou, Guo Zhiqi, as the governor of Korea, and served as the regent of the Korean state, and handled the important military and political affairs of Korea on behalf of the new king Li Zhuo before he was crowned.

After the decree was delivered to Korea, the whole country of Korea was in an uproar, especially the two classes of nobles, although they supported becoming a vassal state of the Xia Dynasty, but what the Xia Dynasty did was really a bit too much, and actually directly deposed their king and put the king and ministers to death, which was simply unacceptable to the Korean scholars.

Not only that, the move of transferring Na Guo Zhiqi to the governor of North Korea and serving as the regent of the Korean state, even a three-year-old child can see the intentions of the Xia people, which is clearly to lay the foundation for the annexation of Korea into the territory of the Xia Dynasty.

This will of the emperor of the Xia Dynasty not only offended the two

The class nobles also offended the Li royal family, and surrounded to avoid the complete annexation of Korea into the Xia Dynasty, and the Li royal family and the two classes of nobles began to secretly plot to join forces, trying to launch a rebellion and resist the Xia Dynasty by force!
