Chapter 478, dedication to the land and ministers

Zong Qingkang is actually fine.

During this period of time, the people who felt the most bad were Yuan Lao Yin and Li.

Those who live in Datong Hall know that the refugee team has entered Beijing to petition, so naturally they have also made a trip.

Yuan Lao Yin didn't say anything, and after he was heard of his identity after he appeared, he let the people on the spot in Daming enjoy a warm welcome in a foreign language. I don't understand, but judging from the scene at the time, those North Korean refugees should have scolded very hard.

And Lee was also very surprised.

Elder Yin just can't sit idly by, and he also has a heart of whatever. He was no longer in North Korea at the time of the incident, so if he could now come forward and ask for some support, maybe it would be an opportunity?

This was based on his loyalty to Lee as soon as he figured out the situation. In this chaos within North Korea, Daming's dissatisfaction with North Korea has become very clear. Now sit and wait for the changes, I'm afraid that Yin Ren, Yin Yuanheng and others will fight to the death first.

In the view of Yin Yuanlao, the attitude expressed by Daming so far is only: The situation in North Korea is unclear, no matter what.

After all, his level is still a little worse, and when he knows about the refugee petition, he still can't tell the difference. If you rely on the existence value that can restrain the original Xiao Yin forces to be loyal to Li, and meet the requirements of the next expedition of the Ming Dynasty to eradicate the plague with Li, then you can turn the crisis into an opportunity.

But outside the east gate of the capital of Daming, he heard with his own ears that those refugees were scolded by Li Yi and the entire royal family.

It's really hard to scold.

A new petition has been added: Kill the thieves! From the kings to the traitors, they are all thieves who have caused them to fall into such a field!

Now both of them have completely understood: maybe the national glory of the Joseon Dynasty is broken here.

Li was broken by Zhu Houxi's thoughts that day, and now he is getting more and more cold.

Everyone has old thinking.

For so many years, although it is an indisputable fact that the Ming Dynasty has a male lord. But in addition to the world enemy of Mengyuan Khan's court, the Ming Dynasty only destroyed the land of Mengding and returned to the old land of the three mansions of the Ming Dynasty in Beijiaozhi.

The DPRK has been obedient from generation to generation, and the country has been established for a long time and has been inherited in an orderly manner, how can it be the same?

He was still dreaming of sudden changes in the situation and not without opportunities, so he retracted an evaluation of "disloyalty and unfilial piety" at that time.

Now recalling his "appreciation" when he first met the Ming Emperor, Li only shuddered.

Is that the calculation of North Korea from that time?

But for so many years, Daming really did not treat North Korea badly.

Regardless of internal affairs, border trade continues to ......

Now Li wants to understand: in front of the uncompetitive Korean monarchs and ministers, no matter whether it is to indulge them to fight with peace of mind, the border trade is constantly to bring more benefits that can be fought for!

He is also one of the pawns.

He brought back the model of the Ming Emperor's Assets Bureau, which made his mediocre father feel that he could still use it to balance all parties. And under the shackles of his second son's identity, it eventually turned it into a new battlefield of fighting.

Not only the Kulian Castle in the north, but also the Falklands in the south, which is the only window for buying and selling from Japan. The little Yin brothers, who had the upper hand, had a big rise in wealth, so they dared to be so rebellious, right?

“…… Your Highness, what now? ”

Since he "knelt" and "pledged" to him, Yuan Elder Yin still put on a show.

Lee didn't answer, looking equally dazed.

But he knew that Yuan Lao Yin should be dead.

And what about his future?

Li was very smart when he was young, and he knew that the Ming Emperor might be waiting for him right now.

Ryukyu is always going to be in trouble, right? Shang Yuan, the genuine crown prince, pleaded, and his sister pleaded in blood, but Da Ming still dragged it.

Is the character of the plea not weighty enough, or is the content of the plea not enough to meet the mind of the Ming Emperor?

On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, let's go to the New Year.

Now, he is still the son of the lord of North Korea who was canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and he went to pay New Year's greetings to the Ming Emperor in this capacity, which is to be seen.

In the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Li knelt very deferentially, and his voice was very sad: "The guilty minister asked His Majesty Sheng'an on behalf of his deceased father, may Your Majesty live long!" Banzai! Hooray! ”

"What's your sin for the New Year?"

Li was still kneeling, but straightened up and wiped his tears: "I was shocked to hear that the people of the contemptible country entered Beijing to petition, and the criminal ministers went to visit, and I knew that the people of the clan had been separated for many years. Jurchen Koubian, the pirates invaded the territory, and the land could not be defended outside; The power and traitors are full of power, the government is wasted, and the people cannot be pacified. Although the criminal minister is a mere prince, he is also ashamed. In the face of this difficulty, the criminal minister was indeed selfish at that time, and His Majesty said that the criminal minister was disloyal and unfilial, which was also the crime of the criminal minister! ”

Zhu Houxi's eyes froze, and after staring at him for a long time, he let out a long sigh: "The Korean people are so poor, I didn't expect it. It is not for nothing that North Korea has today. The monarchs and ministers of North Korea cannot defend the land and the people, and they deserve to be judged guilty of the people in history. ”

Li lowered his head again: "This is the second time that the criminal minister has spent the New Year's Day in Daming." In the past ten years, the people of Daming have become more prosperous and healthy. In the past, His Majesty ordered people to teach the criminal ministers to trade affairs, and the criminal ministers were confined to their identities and were in a critical situation of the Korean crown prince, and they were unable to make an inch of merit for the Korean people for many years. Every time I think of this, I only regret it after the clan. If you are born in the people, you may still be able to make a difference and live up to your majesty's high expectations. ”

Zhu Houxi looked at him and was silent for a while before he said, "Come and pay New Year's greetings to me, and say anything else you want to say." ”

This guy always emphasized his identity as the prince's concubine, and pointed out that the Korean royal family was separated from the people earlier than the people, and if he was born in the people and might make a difference, Zhu Houxi probably guessed what he wanted to say.

Can I change my background? Unless the Joseon royal family ceased to exist.

Naturally, he wouldn't be begging for death, but...... He still had to say it himself.

Li gritted his teeth, first knelt down and bowed a big salute, and then said categorically: "Now North Korean traitors are rampant, relatives are in power, the old are incompetent, and the generals are divided. Although the son of the world is still there, the sinner knows my brother's heart. Although wisdom and benevolence are worthy of the name, strategy and courage are really lacking. At this time, even if he can use Yin Ren's strength to turn the tide, he will definitely be charged with killing his mother and brother, and he will still not change his power and treachery. North Korea will never have peace, so why should the people be innocent? ”

Zhu Houxi laughed in his heart, but his face was very solemn: "I admired you in the past, but I was not mistaken." This analysis is indeed very reasonable. ”

In fact, Li is not a few years younger than Zhu Houxi, and now he is thirty-two years old.

Now that the prince of Joseon is bound to his own uncle Yin Ren, and Queen Wending's own son is the second son, relying on another pro-national uncle Yin Yuanheng to kill the master, there is no room for the two sides.

Needless to say, the success of Queen Wending, the youngest son succeeds to the throne, listens to the government, the uncle is regent, and has to stabilize North Korea under the pressure of killing the lord and Yi Chu, how easy is it to talk about it?

If Yin Ren succeeds, the pressure in this regard will be much less, after all, his nephew has been the prince of the king for many years. But can it leave a curse? This prince was raised by Queen Wending shortly after he was born, although he is not his own mother, his younger brother is his own brother, right?

And in the same way, the Xiao Yin brothers have been powerful for many years. After the general trend is purged, how can Wang Shizi not rely on Yin Ren? The newcomer promoted by Yin Ren will naturally stabilize his position even more.

In any case, if in the past it was just a struggle for power and profit in the DPRK court, if there are no accidents in the next few years, the chaotic generation of the government and the opposition will be absolute.

Didn't Lee say that? His brother lacked strategy and courage. Intelligence and lack of strategy are very contradictory, benevolence is not good to say, and when you look at it together, it is cowardice.

"Even if my brother survives, it will be difficult to solve this situation; Xiao Yin's sister and brother murdered the main plot to rebel, and the criminal minister was the son of man, how could he stand with him? Although Elder Yin went to the kingdom, he has also teamed up with his sister and brother to control the king's government for many years, and he is actually an enemy of criminal ministers! Now that North Korea is in danger, the criminal ministers think that the people's support has been lost and the king's fortune has been exhausted for many years. The criminal brother has nothing else to ask for, but hopes that His Majesty will wave his army to suppress the rebellion, so that the criminal brother can protect the family temple. ”

"Family Temple?" Zhu Houxi intriguingly confirmed.

Li had a serious face: "Entrusted by His Majesty, and the people are in trouble, how can you still claim to be a temple with a cheeky face?" Please behead the elder Yin first, and the criminal ministers will strongly persuade my brother to dedicate the land and land list, and be willing to be the minister of the Ming Dynasty. Instead of coveting power, it is better for His Majesty to quickly quell the civil strife than to settle the internal affairs and establish diplomatic relations with the kingdom. It is also a blessing for all the people of North Korea. Shangguo culture and education are prosperous, and virtuous ministers are full of dynasties. North Korea was originally the old land of China, and for many years it has been proud of Little China. In today's situation, isn't it a blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty to be registered? ”

He had always called himself a criminal minister in the past, and in the end, he finally removed the word sin.

Zhu Houxi looked at him deeply.

This does make it clear enough.

Li is a concubine, naturally he can't make his own decisions. He is the second, and Wang Shizi is the fourth. And now there is still a war over there, and it is not known how many of Li Yi's sons can survive. Even if the fourth Li Yi can survive as the thorn in the side of Queen Wending's sisters and brothers, Li Biao's attitude is to persuade him not to succeed to the throne and directly sacrifice his land as a minister.

Can he do that? Can Yin Ren agree?

In the best case, I'm afraid that Li Yi is gone. In this way, the second son belongs to the position taken by his biological mother's uncle who killed his father, and it is justified that Daming does not admit it. And other than that, they are all concubines. Among the concubines, the eldest Fucheng Jun Li Mei was killed ten years ago, and the rest is Li Juchang.

Otherwise, how could Zhu Houxi say that he had a lot of opportunities before?

Now Li Wuyi has changed his mind: if he can be the master, he no longer wants to be the king of Korea, but the minister of the Ming Dynasty.

The royal family temple has only been a courtier's temple since then.

Isn't it because of the fear that the Ming Dynasty may directly sweep North Korea in one fell swoop? In that case, the initiative point will still have the function of uniting the hearts of the Korean Shilin people as a memorial arch, and will not be cleared up as a member of the mediocre royal family that misleads the country and harms the people.

Zhu Houxi shook his head and said: "Whether it is the Xiao Yin brothers and Queen Wending who killed the lord and seized power together is not yet proven. ”

Li Lian kowtowed: "Your Majesty, how innocent are the Korean people?" When the evidence can be ascertained, I don't know how many years of war it will take! And now the news is that the son has fled. If my father had not been in trouble, but had fallen seriously ill, now should be the time for my brother to succeed him. Brother Xiao Yin has been powerful for many years, and my brother must be in a trap. I also hope that His Majesty's mercy and brothers will be lonely, and the Korean people will be in distress, and they will be rescued by grace. ”

“…… The matter is big, and now it is the Spring Festival, and the ministers are on vacation. Zhu Houxi paused, "That's it, you go back first." In a few days, I will discuss this matter with the ministers as soon as possible. ”

Seeing Li retreat and leave in despair, Zhu Houxi fell into deep thought.

Lee's identity is indeed very good, but ...... It's not enough. After all, Lee was only the second son, and he had very little influence on the situation in North Korea.

His statement cannot be said to be useless, but with his weak position in the past, it is easy to be said that he was "persecuted".

To be honest, Zhu Houxi didn't think he was calculating them. Isn't the current situation mainly caused by themselves?

Dishes are original sin.

If Zhu Houxi really wanted to discuss something, the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty wished that the emperor valued them and could summon them to the palace at this time. Vacation, what kind of leave to take?

Not long after several important ministers entered the palace, they were discussing the feasibility and implementation details of Li's "attitude", but they saw Sun Yuan hurrying over.

"Your Majesty!" Sun Yuan saluted, and after seeing Yan Song, he said, "Yan Guowu is also here, just right." In the Datong Pavilion, the North Korean envoy Li carried a knife and attacked and killed the deputy envoy Yin Yuanlao, looking like crazy, shouting for his father and brother to avenge his father and brother! ”

Zhu Houxi was stunned when he heard this: "...... Brothers? ”

Li Yi is already dead, and Li also cried at Noon Gate to identify Yin Yuanlao as an accomplice.

But who is this brother he is talking about?

Sun Yuan was a little surprised: "Your Majesty...... Didn't he receive the news that the prince of Joseon was also besieged and killed, so he summoned the princes to discuss? When Li committed the murder, everyone in the Datong Pavilion heard that their family had killed his father and killed the crown prince......"

“…… No, I don't. Xia Yan opened his mouth, "In the new report, there is no mention of the murder of the crown prince of North Korea. ”

Tang Shun, who had already heard the previous news, moved, looked at Zhu Houxi, and then said, "Your Majesty...... Is this a vote? ”

killed Yuan Elder Yin with his own hands, so he naturally had to be inseparable from Xiao Yin's faction.

If you then falsely claim that the crown prince of North Korea has also been killed, then now there are only thieves left in North Korea. And Li Yi may still be alive now, but he was said to be "dead" first, and he also became the enemy of his younger brother and Da Yin.

What kind of heart does Ann have?

“…… Where are the others? Zhu Houxi asked Sun Yuan.

"It was the chief and deputy envoys of the vassal state who killed each other, and the minister just ordered someone to see him in the Datong Pavilion."

Yan Song was speechless again and again: "This son is decisive." ”

Sun Yuan continued to report: "He also asked His Majesty to allow him to take the head of the old man Yin Yuan to the refugee camp in the east of the city to confess his crimes. ”

"Accuse? What crime? ”

"It is said that the royal family is guilty of misusing traitorous ministers and harming the people. Now that the traitor has rebelled, the king of Fucheng was killed first, and now the lord of the country and the prince have all been killed, and the traitor will definitely kill the princes, and there will be no peace in Korea. He is willing to work with the people, please be the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and only hope that the Ming Dynasty can enter the court as soon as possible to destroy the rebels and thieves to avenge him, so that the fleeing people can return to their hometowns as soon as possible......"

Zhu Houxi said meaningfully: "I remember, he was also scolded in the past before, right? ”

Yan Song stood up: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" Li avenged his father, was an accomplice with a blade, and his filial piety was far and wide; The crown prince of Joseon was all killed, and he was the chief of the royal family, adding to his prestige; admits that the royal family harms the country and the people, and asks the people for their crimes, which can win people's hearts; I am willing to sacrifice my land and be a minister, just to take revenge and not to succeed to the throne, and to show my loyalty. There is no need to worry about the actual situation in North Korea. Knowing that he was acting in Beijing, the Korean civil and military forces could not obey him, and there was no trouble. ”

The key point is that Li Yi is dead, which is simply the fake news that Li actively spreads.

And this is done in order to "sell" the whole of North Korea to the Ming Dynasty, can the Korean civil and military be so willing?

Self-unification only uses internal comparison to become the solid soil of the Ming Dynasty, what do they use to compare their talents and trust with the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty?

Lee this is selling them all!

At least they will think so, not knowing that Daming will adopt a new transition model. In the future, whether it is a real land or a brotherly country of the same origin, it will depend on the situation. At least during this transitional period, every effort will be made to further reduce identity differences through trade, domestic affairs, cultural, educational, and cultural exchanges.

And the value of his existence ...... It's just to help Daming collect the hearts of the North Korean people. After all, it is a rare person in the royal family who has a filial name, a person of true temperament who is willing to give up the throne for revenge, and a person who can put down his body to plead guilty to the people and take the risk of living in a refugee camp with them.

It was preached that at least at this moment in the hearts of the people of Daming and those fleeing Koreans, he was actually the first heir to the Joseon throne.

He took the initiative to give up all this, so why should Da Ming shirk it?

Zhu Houxi waved his hand helplessly and let Yan Song sit down: "Let him lead the nose and leave." Sun Yuan, the news has already spread? ”

"There is no incrimination. But when the murder was committed before, the movement was very large, and there were many people in the Datong Museum, so it naturally spread out. ”

Zhu Houxi thought for a while and said, "Then let him go." Those refugees also hate the Li family to the core, and whether they can accept his sincerity depends on how he acts there. If the people of the capital want to see the excitement, you have to stabilize the order. At this moment, he turned himself into an indispensable person of the Ming Dynasty in North Korea. ”

"Such a scheming, this person must be guarded against!" Xia Yan said.

"What does he want to do more to prevent him from winning the hearts of the people?" Zhu Houxi shook his head, "He's not a few years younger than me. If the Korean people can't claim to be happier and healthier under the rule of the Ming Dynasty in one or two decades, then what he wants is right. I will keep him, keep him, encourage him, and give a wake-up call to the princes and ministers who will run Korea in the future! ”

Yang Shen couldn't help but look at Zhu Houxi.

It seems that the emperor really did not just want to expand his territory, but really wanted to take the people of the new foreign domain to heart.

His Majesty will definitely not do anything about marrying others.

"If there is such a fuss again, then it is really a matter of heaven not taking it but taking the blame. Ordered the Marquis of Xining and the Marquis of Yangwu to prepare for war. Advancing by sea and land, North Korea was leveled first. With repair, this thing should be done beautifully. Military rations and relief grains, and after the beginning of spring, new grain varieties and new farm tools were also prepared and shipped to North Korea. ”

Yang Shen first received this will, and then asked: "Your Majesty, if the DPRK is pacified, who will be the king?" ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts sank and they looked at the emperor.
