There was silence in the hall, and it seemed that the needles were falling and could be heard.

Li Kepei's eyes rolled as soon as he thought about it: "The king, the minister thinks that the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and he should refuse the request of the Ming Emperor!" ”

"If the king refuses to go this time, what if the Ming Iron Horse goes south?" Yin Bishang, the leader of the council, was no longer silent, and seemed to ask-for-tat.

Li Kepei, the leftist politician, raised his chin slightly, and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance: "If the Ming Emperor is so unreasonable, he will conquer North Korea because of this matter, and the sky will be tired of it." If we really come to this point, we will have a big deal to burn the jade with the strength of the whole country! ”

This......

Bing Cao Li Yu and other officials were suddenly speechless, looking helpless and looking at each other.

Not to mention whether the Ming Emperor is considered a kingless king, and Li Kepei's proposal is clearly the way to die. They know the combat power of their army, and where the jade comes from is burned, it is clear that they hit the stone with an egg.

Once the Ming Emperor is really angered, then they will all be finished, and this Li Kepei wants to drag them together to bury them in order to please the king.

"Master Li, do you want our North Korea to destroy the country?" Yin Bishang, the leader of the council, trembled with anger, but pointed at Li Kepei and accused loudly.

Li Kepei, the leftist politician, had his own trade-offs, and the Korean king Li Ji in the palace gave a salute: "Even if you want to break the net with Damingyu, the old man will never agree to the king risking his life!" ”

When Li Jiao heard Li Kepei's loud attitude, she couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in her heart.

In his heart, he was naturally a hundred unwilling to go to the capital to take risks, after all, who was willing to hand over his life to others, even the high-ranking Emperor Ming.

I thought I couldn't escape, but now I see Li Kepei so loyally expressing his loyalty, and I find that I have not seen the wrong person all along.

"Since Lord Li has such determination and courage, then the position of soldier Cao will be handed over to Lord Li!" The soldier Cao Li Wei came out of the queue and solemnly bowed his hand to the Korean king Li Jiao in the hall: "The king, the ministers are sparse and shallow, and they know that they have no ability to resist the Ming Iron Cavalry, and they cannot defend the country. Now Lord Li has such determination and courage, the minister is willing to hand over the post of soldier Cao to Lord Li, and please allow it! ”

Hey?

The officials present heard Li Yu hand over his position, but they turned their heads to look at the tall Li Kepei.

Although Li Kepei seems to be very determined, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and it is clear that fighting against the Ming Iron Cavalry with the current strength of North Korea is the way to die.

If Li Kepei now accepts the position of Bing Cao, then there may be a god of war in North Korea, but it is more likely that there will be one more martyr.

It is precisely because of this that the eyes of many officials flashed with admiration, although it is indeed a way to take death, but it is still admirable to be so fearless of life and death.

"The old man has no experience in leading soldiers, how can he be qualified for the position of soldier Cao, Hugh wants to mess around here!" Li Kepei's face sank, and he immediately lectured.

This......

The officials present were dumbfounded, daring to love this old man who only shouted and charged and didn't dare to move forward?

Yin Bishang, the leader of the council, is nearly seventy years old, and his hair is already white, but he has already seen through that Li Kepei is a speculator, and he seems to count mercilessly: "Lord Li, now we are talking about the life and death of North Korea. If you have the ability to resist the Ming army, don't talk about the position of Bingcao, my position as the leader of the government can also be conceded, and the old man will also write a book for you to pass on. It's just that if you don't even have the courage to unify the forces in battle, and you only have the courage to speak and disregard the country, do you really want to be a sinner in North Korea? ”

After all, he is the head of the hundred officials, and after saying this, he slapped Li Kepei like Mount Tai.

"Lord Li, please be cautious!"

"Anyone can say big things, but take care of the consequences!"

"North Korea's country is not easy to get, don't mislead the country and the people!"

……

Bing Cao Li Yan and other officials knew that this matter was not trivial, and Li Kepei really wanted to guide North Korea to the point of no return, so he expressed his position one after another.

Li Kepei's henchmen also knew the seriousness of this matter, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Li Kepei, and their psychology also underwent a subtle change.

They belong to the ruling class of North Korea, and it can be said that everyone benefits.

If North Korea is finally destroyed, then let alone continue to enjoy this wealth, I am afraid that the whole family will die under the Daming Iron Horse.

It is precisely because of this that in the face of one's own wealth and life, this political position has become less important.

Like riding a roller coaster, Li Jian also took a serious look at her teacher.

He is also aware of the seriousness of the problem, if he refuses the request of the Ming Emperor, the consequence is likely to be that his Li family will be cut off under the Ming Iron Cavalry.

Unless his teacher can come up with a good plan, this kind of seemingly bloody words and deeds are indeed self-defeating.

"Where there's a will, there's a way! Although the old man is not a talent for the army, I am a talented North Korean, and I believe that someone must be able to trust, and there is no need to be so afraid of the Ming Iron Cavalry! Li Kepei's face suddenly turned red for a while, but he still stood firm.

This......

The officials present rolled their eyes when they heard this extremely irresponsible argument.

"Shut up!" Yin Bishang, the leader of the council, immediately shouted violently, and then looked at Li Ji and made a request: "King, the government is not a child's play. We in North Korea can't count on Li Kepei, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, the old minister is already a person who has half a foot in the coffin, and I implore Your Majesty to put the Korean country as the priority, and not to make enemies with the Ming Dynasty! ”

"I implore Your Majesty to put the Korean rivers and mountains first, and not to make enemies with the Ming Dynasty!" Bing Cao Li Wei and other officials were well aware of the seriousness of the matter, and they immediately stood up and expressed their stance in unison.

Yes? How so?

Li Kepei was thinking about how to establish the image of a loyal minister, but he couldn't help but be completely dumbfounded when he found that the officials of the Manchu Dynasty actually expressed their stance together.

After seeing that the king was reluctant to go to the capital, he wanted to carry out a beautiful political speculation, but he did not want to shoot himself in the foot.

Now all the officials have indicated that they want to be close to the Ming Dynasty, causing themselves to become clowns in this palace.

Li Jiao saw everything in her eyes, and finally found that the teacher Li Kepei she had been relying on was unreliable at all, and she was always right-hearted, but she wanted to push herself into the fire pit at a critical time.

Although he was reluctant to go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty and did not want to leave his life in the hands of that young tyrant, he knew that refusal was likely to ruin his Li family.

Li Ji knew that the Li family could not be lost, so she asked tentatively: "If this king goes to the capital, who is willing to accompany this king?" ”

When they heard this, the officials present looked at each other, and then looked up at Yin Bishang, the leader of the council, and Li Kepei, the leader of the left council.

Li Kepei, the leftist politician, just wanted to create the character of a loyal minister, but this time he had silently lowered his head, but it was impossible to agree to go to the capital.

Yin Bishang, the leader of the council, is not a warrior, and he does not plan to go: "King, the old minister is naturally willing to accompany him, but he is already an old man, and his legs and feet are not good, so I am afraid that he will miss the travel period, so I forgive the old minister and cannot accompany him." It's just that Li Yizheng claims to be able to ride a horse and shoot arrows on weekdays, so he must be able to accompany him! ”

Even the small North Korean court is inevitably full of open and secret battles, and now Yin Bishang deliberately pushed Li Kepei.

Li Kepei, the left councilor, scolded secretly, and immediately made a statement: "The king, the leader is now frail and sick, and there are many affairs in the court that need to be dealt with, so the minister asks to stay in the royal capital to take care of government affairs for the king!" ”

Hearing the excuses of these two big figures, Licao Jin Zhuguo and other officials couldn't help but shake their heads gently.

No matter how loyal they are on weekdays, when danger really comes, these two important ministers are faster than anyone else. Now they are worried about being feasted by the Ming Emperor, so these two most shrewd politicians dare not accompany them.

Li Jiao saw the words and deeds of the two most relied on ministers, and couldn't help but feel a deep disappointment in his heart, these are the virtuous ministers he has relied on since he ascended the throne!

"Your Majesty, the minister has the honor to send the Ming Dynasty twice, and he has an understanding of the situation in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, so the minister is willing to accompany him!" Bing Cao Li Wei knew that he couldn't count on those two big shots, so he took the initiative to stand up and make a statement.

Li Jiao saw that Li Yu took the initiative to ask Ying, and she felt a little better in her heart.

But at this moment, a messenger hurriedly walked in.

"What's going on?"

After seeing the sudden military report, the officials present all realized that something terrible had happened, and it was even possible that the Ming army had been killed.

At this moment, many people regret why they didn't hug Daming's thick thighs earlier, so as to keep a way back for themselves.

Li Ji looked like a sinking face to read the military report that had just been sent, and then looked at the ministers present: "Because Xu Shiying, the governor of the East China Sea, led his troops to support Jianzhou, Jeju Mu Li Zhunbin took advantage of the emptiness of Daming City's troops and led his troops to seize Daming City a few days ago!" ”

Yes?

Take the city?

Who gave the order!

When Bing Cao Li Wei heard this military information, he couldn't believe his ears.

The Ming Dynasty will allow the autonomy of North Korea because of the scruples of the ancestral system, and if the Ming Dynasty is really given enough excuses, they will really have to re-recognize the master.

"Is Lee Joon-bin crazy?"

"It's crazy, this is what you want us to destroy the country!"

"Is he a pig's head? Isn't this going to endanger us in North Korea? ”

……

The officials in the palace also talked a lot, but they didn't know when Jeju Mu was crazy and did such a thing to provoke the Ming Dynasty.

Li Kepei spat out a breath of turbidity, and said in an astonishing voice: "The king, the minister thinks that Tamna Island has always belonged to our North Korea, so he gave Jeju Mu the right to act cheaply, and there is a good opportunity to seize Daming City!" ”

"What did you do? Do you know the consequences of this? When Li Yu heard that it was Li Kepei, he immediately accused him loudly.

Yin Bishang, the leader of the council, also didn't expect Li Kepei to do this kind of thing secretly, and immediately asked the king of North Korea, Li Jiao: "Your Majesty, Lord Li is overstepping his authority, and I beg that he be immediately imprisoned and punished!" ”

The officials present shook their heads one after another, and even Li Kepei's henchmen looked at Li Kepei with complicated eyes, and they were willing to give up if they really wanted to trap North Korea to death.

"King, if Daming City falls into our hands, we can use this to develop maritime trade, and this is for the benefit of North Korea!" Li Kepei did not think that he had done wrong, so he argued for authenticity.

After his observation, Daming City on Senzhi Island is simply a hen that lays golden eggs.

Li Jiao glanced at her teacher deeply, and then continued to say lightly: "Jeju Mu Li Zhunbin led 5,000 garrisons to attack Daming City, but was killed by the 1,000 defenders left behind, and Li Zhunbin has also fallen into the hands of the Ming defenders!" ”

Yes?

Five thousand against one thousand?

Their Jeju army was defeated?

When they heard this result, the officials present were shocked again and couldn't help but look at each other.

Originally, some officials thought that they could fight with the Ming army, but they learned that the 5,000 garrisons on Jeju Island could not help the 1,000 defenders, and Li Zhunbin himself was captured.

If measured by this kind of combat power, their 100,000 Korean army could not resist the 20,000 army of the Ming Dynasty, but the strength of the Ming army was as high as several million.

That's right, there may have been a little fantasy just now, but now that the reality has been completely recognized, they can only protect the country by succumbing to the Ming Dynasty.

"King, Da Ming can only be a friend and not an enemy, please go to the capital!" Licao Jin Zhuguo knows that there is no room for maneuver in things, and even if he expresses his attitude, he is authentic.

"I beg the king to go to the capital!" Bing Cao Li Wei and other officials knew that this was the only way to save the country, and even if they expressed their stance together.

Li Jiao's eyes flashed a touch of silence, and for the first time in her life, she felt how small she was as a king, but she finally nodded helplessly.

Samzhi Island, Daming City.

The waves crashed against the reef, and above it was a towering city with a dragon flag flying at the top of the city.

Xu Shiying led the fleet to triumph, and because of the completion of the mission of the surprise attack on the Jurchen base camp in Jianzhou, the mood along the way seemed very good. It's just that after learning what Jeju Mu did, he was slightly stunned at first, and then his eyes flashed with a thick murderous intent.

Originally, he had always had a good impression of North Korea, and he was a relatively obedient vassal state.

It's just that who would have thought that His Majesty would recover Jianju this time, and as a result, the little North Korea would refuse to send troops to help. Now it's even more damned, he actually took advantage of the emptiness of his own city to attack.

"Lord Governor, those people look like there are a lot of people, but they are all shrimp soldiers and crab generals. We took the initiative to go out of the city to face the battle, but less than half of the people actually did it, and they were already scared out of their own hands! If it weren't for the fact that they were fast, we would definitely have been able to kill a few more people, and definitely not just get less than a thousand heads! Huo Hai looked proud to report the battle situation and results.

Xu Shiying learned that there were almost no casualties on his side, and couldn't help but wonder: "I underestimated you, I didn't expect to be so heroic!" This governor will report the matter tomorrow, and your Majesty will reward you!" ”

"Your Majesty is already a great grace to the lowly people, this is our duty to defend the city, we don't ask for a reward for this kind of trivial matter, we just hope to continue here!" Huo Hai accompanied the smiling face, looking disapproving.

Xu Shiying has been with these people for a long time, probably because she has figured out their psychology.

The garrison here is well paid, and living here can be said to be a human being, at least every time you are paid, you can become a VIP in the red light district outside the city.

It's just that all this time, neither the 3,000 garrisons in front nor the 1,000 new garrisons in the back have made any achievements, so they are afraid of being transferred back to the country.

Now that they suddenly have a chance to perform, the garrison of Jeju Island is so stretched that they don't think it's a military merit in their hearts, and their only appeal is that they can continue to stay here.

Xu Shiying will naturally report the matter here, but at this time, he still has one more thing to do, that is, to escort Jeju Mu Li Zhun Bin to the high platform of the big playground.
