Sungjun sent someone to deliver the news back to Hanyang City.

Yin Bishang, the minister of the Parliament, and Liu Ziguang, Li's favorite minister, entered the palace to meet Li together, but Li Kedun was not there at the time, and Yin Bishang stated the reason why Tang Yin and Park Yuanzong were not seen.

“…… If the envoys of the Ming Dynasty enter Hanyang City and state the mistakes of the lord in front of others, the world will discuss the legitimacy of the position of the lord, and then only a small opportunity will be given. There are still people in the DPRK who want to support traitors, they are eyeing the opportunity, spreading rumors against you, and all kinds of attacks have never stopped......"

Yin Bishang can also be regarded as thinking about Li.

Regardless of your attitude towards the Shilin School, you are also the eldest son of the orthodox son of Korea, and the head of a country recognized by Confucianism.

As your courtier, think about the legitimacy of your rule.

Liu Ziguang was more cunning, he said: "If you don't see the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, will outsiders criticize the lord less?" ”

Yin Bishang said: "And the Ming Dynasty wants to enter the city with a thousand soldiers and horses, and he also carries firearms, which will pose a threat to the stability of Gyeonggi." ”

"Needless to say." Li raised his hand and said, "A thousand soldiers and horses are not enough to change anything, and before entering the city, send people to receive these horses, as for the two hundred people of the Ming retinue, they are not allowed to enter the city." Xing Cao went out of the city ahead of time and escorted Park Yuanzong into the city. ”

When Yin Bishang heard this, he felt that Li was still on guard.

If the 1,200 soldiers and horses were allowed to enter the city, it would bring a lot of trouble, which was why he proposed not to see Tang Yin.

Seeing that he could not change the opinion of this stubborn lord, Yin Bishang asked, "Is there a public trial for Park Wonjong?" ”

Liu Ziguang asked, "Prime Minister Yin, do you want the country lord to lose his trust in the suzerain country Daming?" has agreed not to interrogate, just go through the process, and when the Ming envoy leaves, let Park Yuanzong go with him. ”

Yin Bishang said: "If this person returns to Ping'an Road, contacts people and horses, and rebels against North Korea, I am afraid it will also be a disaster." Even if they cannot be executed publicly, they should be secretly poisoned or given the right to commit suicide. ”

Li glared at Yin Bishang and said, "It seems that you have a personal grudge against Park Yuanzong?" ”

"Not really." Yin Bishang hurriedly explained.

Li Dao: "Then there is no need to say more, this battle is because you people put forward a perfunctory Ming during the court discussion, so that only 5,000 soldiers and horses were sent, and the Ming envoy did not complete the Ming entrustment, so that the Ming envoy came to interrogate." This year's tribute has been increased, and the attitude towards the Ming envoy has been relaxed, so that he can go back to pay the errand, and also resolve the resentment of the Ming Emperor and Lai Guogong against us. ”

Yin Bishang knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "The minister is dedicated to North Korea, and he has no intention of offending. ”

"Okay, the matter of welcoming the Ming envoy is still handed over to you, and then let Liu Ziguang go with you."

After Li finished speaking, seeing that Yin Bishang was opposed, he said coldly, "Liu Ziguang knows how to place the Ming envoys better than you can be, and will provide better treatment." Unlike you Shilin people, who only think about how to embody the prestige of North Korea in the reception, you never think about currying favor and currying favor. ”

Implication.

Liu Ziguang is more likely to "come to things", and any beautiful delicacies, gold, silver and jewelry can be supplied to Tang Yin.

If Tang Yin is satisfied, won't Tang Yin's attitude soften a lot when he comes to interrogate? Wouldn't it be easy to deal with Zhang Zhou and Emperor Daming when he turned around?

……

……

Including Lee and Yoon Bisang, the Korean monarchs and ministers did not consider the combination of Tang Yin and Park Wonjong, which may pose a threat to the royal power of Joseon.

It's just that as Zhang Zhou agreed to let Tang Yin leave 4,000 soldiers and horses, and only let him go to Hanyang City with 1,200 people, everything seemed to be no threat again, and even Yin Bishang, an old minister of the Shilin faction who was old and guarded against the Ming Dynasty, also felt that the Ming Dynasty and Pu Yuanzong should not be able to raise a storm at this time.

On April 26, the envoy and his party arrived at the post station in Gyeonggi Province, which was only thirty miles away from Hanyang Fortress, and if they had stepped up their march that day, they might have arrived at Hanyang Castle shortly after nightfall, but Tang Yin insisted on staying at the post station.

Cheng Jun met Yoo Zi Guang.

Liu Ziguang came on behalf of Li, and after meeting Cheng Jun first, he was introduced by Cheng Jun to see Tang Yin.

"Tang envoy, our lord has known the mistakes he made before, and specially asked him to come down to apologize and admit his mistakes, in addition to promising to supply 100,000 stone of grain to the Ming Dynasty for the clearance of Liaodong Jiannu, but also to give 20,000 Zhuangding, 7,000 women and children to coordinate the march, and provide their own food. If border people are to be relocated, North Korea will also provide assistance. ”

Liu Ziguang's words made Cheng Jun frown when he heard it.

Cheng Jun is wondering, is Park Wonjong a "traitor", or is Li and Yoo Ziguang becoming?

Sell your country for glory.

Tang Yin said: "Didn't you say that your envoy is the leader of the government, Yin Bishang?" Why didn't he come? ”

Liu Ziguang said with a smile: "He will arrange the details of welcoming the envoys into the city tomorrow, such as the ceremony, etc., tonight my lord will send twenty beauties, six hundred urns of wine, and another one hundred and forty women to come to the labor army, and also prepare all kinds of dishes." There were two hundred loaves of gold, and sixteen chests of silver. ”

It probably means that the beauties are for you, the ordinary women are for the Ming army, and as for the gold, silver and jewelry, they are all gifts for you.

When Cheng Jun heard this, he was so anxious that he almost fought with Liu Ziguang.

However, because Tang Yin was by his side, Cheng Jun did not have a seizure.

Lose power and humiliate the country.

Cheng Jun had already closed his eyes, only feeling that it was redundant for him to stay on the spot, thinking about it, Yin Bishang's choice was more correct, this was an occasion that should not have appeared.

If you don't know...... How nice would that be?

The people who turned back to Shilin asked him again, why he didn't object at that time...... What should I say?

Tang Yin nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good, leave everyone behind, you can take my letter with you and go back to your lord." ”

Liu Ziguang asked: "Don't you need to stay in Xia and accompany the Tang envoys to drink?" ”

"No need." Tang Yin's attitude was very resolute, "I will only enter the city for one day tomorrow, and I will leave for Daming early the day after tomorrow." The war in Liaodong is not over yet, and I don't have much time to stay in Korea. ”

"Okay, okay."

When Liu Ziguang heard this, Tang Yin only entered the city for a day, and left after completing the questioning.

I was thinking, is this a question? You Ming are here to blackmail our Korean monarchs, right?

Now that you're satisfied with the amount of extortion, you've decided to leave?

It doesn't matter if you go or not, anyway, my task is completed, if someone blames me for selling it when I look back, then I will say that Yin Bishang and Cheng Jun did it...... Anyway, I know that the lord of the country has a plan to further eradicate them, and when there is another calamity, I will eradicate you all, and the dead are the best material for carrying the black cauldron.

……

……

Night.

Inside and outside the post house.

Tang Yin called Liu Gui, Pu Yuanzong and Xu Jing.

These are the three pillars of Tang Yin's plot to subvert the Korean royal power, but no matter how Tang Yin thinks about it, he also thinks that this combination is ...... It's weird.

In addition to Park Yuanzong, Liu Gui and Xu Jing are more like subordinates, and even if Park Yuanzong has experience in leading troops and has certain connections in North Korea, Park Yuanzong has always been a recognized traitor to the North Koreans, and it seems a little ridiculous to expect Park Yuanzong to become a big thing.

"It's tonight." Tang Yin said, "If there is no progress before tomorrow morning, then everything will fall through, and we will have to return to Daming." ”

Park Yuanzong also looked very nervous and said, "Why not after entering the city?" ”

Tang Yin said: "The lord of North Korea will not allow us to bring troops into the city. I want you to contact the people stationed at the North Korean City Gate tonight, don't you know Yoon Kim Won-kwang, the judge of the Seoul government? Let him open the gates. ”

Park Yuanzong looked puzzled: "Jin Yuanguang is very close to the mother of the country, the Yin family, and he will not open the city gate for him, but Yin Shu Li Zidou of Hancheng Mansion and Senator Cheng Xiyan of Xingcao have always been good friends with me, and they can use their relationship to knock on the city gate." ”

Xu Jing asked, "Wouldn't it be good for us to blow up the city gate directly with heavenly gunpowder?" ”

"Mr. Xu, don't you know that there are at least six or seven thousand regular troops stationed in Hanyang City, and there are nearly 10,000 people stationed in the palace, plus some soap subordinates, etc., the number is more than 20,000, if the city is attacked, more than 30,000 people will be recruited in a short time, and there will be soldiers and horses outside the city to assist in defense, in this case, we will not be able to capture Hanyang City."

While explaining to Park Yuanzong, he also felt that taking more than 1,000 people to rebel was simply playing with his life.

If he hadn't been stabbed around his neck, he wouldn't have wanted to do it with the envoys of the Ming Dynasty.

Tang Yin asked coldly, "If I go directly to meet the Minister of Parliament, Yin Bishang, will he agree to rebel together?" ”

"Impossible." Park Yuanzong said, "Although he is a Shilin and has a big opinion on the previous Shilin, he is still very loyal to the lord of the country." If you go, it's no different from being sent to death. ”

Xu Jing said: "The messenger of the Ming Dynasty, he Yin Bishang dares to kill people?" ”

Tang Yin was also ruthless at this time, and said: "Yin Bi is already outside the city, but he didn't go this way, if he can't win him over, then kill him directly, and it is also to prevent him from recruiting people outside the city." ”

When Park Yuanzong heard it, your Tang Yin's thinking was very out-of-the-box.

You haven't even taken the city, and you're already thinking about how to prevent the royalists from fighting back?

He was also thinking that if Li could be killed, would the courtiers of North Korea still support Li Gang to give birth to a son who was less than three years old?

Tang Yin said: "It's getting late now, and we must take action." You take a hundred people to contact Yin Shu Li Zidou in Seoul Province, and I will take a hundred people to meet Yin Bishang. ”

Park Yuanzong was shocked and said, "Do you want to divide the troops?" ”

"Of course." Tang Yin said, "It's not too early to startle the snake yet, any of us have made progress along the way, and we will send fireworks into the air to remind us." If there is no movement after midnight, Father Heng, you and Park Yuanzong's subordinates will bring the remaining 1,000 people, detain Cheng Jun and them, and if there are soldiers and horses to stop them, they will directly engage in artillery battles. Make your attitude clear to the Korean monarchs. This will also make it easier for us to negotiate with the North Korean ministers. ”

"I ......" Xu Jing instantly felt Alexander.

But in the face of Tang Yin's firm gaze, he still nodded helplessly in agreement.

……

……

Tang Yin and Park Wonjong, with 200 Korean soldiers, pulled some carriages and carried some goods, and were going in the direction of Hanyang City.

When Cheng Jun heard about it, he hurriedly came out to stop him and asked, "Tang envoy, what is this going to do?" ”

Tang Yin said: "Oh, I was about to send someone to send some gifts to your lord, including three cannons, and mighty heavenly gunpowder, as a gift to your monarch. ”

"Are so many people going?" Cheng Jun was a little worried, "The line doesn't look very long, but it makes Cheng Jun feel a crisis." ”

Tang Yin smiled and said, "Cheng Shushu, you don't think I have any bad intentions, right?" Or are you going to go back with you? ”

"No...... No need ......"

Cheng Jun came over as a messenger this time, and there were not many people with him, but there were also two or three hundred people.

Of course, he didn't think that 200 Koreans could do anything, and without these 200 people, the number of remaining "coalition troops" in the barracks would be exactly 1,000.

The division of troops is given again.

The threat is getting smaller and smaller, and no matter how you look at it, there is no threat to North Korea on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

Tang Yin said: "I'll go out to see off this group, and go back to rest first." ”

"Okay."

Cheng Jun was also drinking that night, and seeing that the situation was not threatening, he returned to the camp.

And Tang Yin followed the team of 200 people out of the city, and immediately got on his horse and called Park Yuanzong, who was hiding in the crowd, over.

"Thirty miles away, you can go back before midnight. If you don't succeed, you don't have to fall in love with the stack, and go back quickly. "Before Tang Yin said goodbye to Park Yuanzong, he instructed Park Yuanzong.

"Yes." Park Yuanzong also got on the horse, but he couldn't go fast, after all, there weren't many horses on the way, and some were just carriages.

Slowly soaring towards Hanyang City.

……

……

Yin Bishang went out of the city on the same day, preparing to welcome the Ming envoys, and also did some arming by the way.

Suddenly heard that Da Ming gave a return gift, and he was also very surprised.

However, when he heard that artillery and gunpowder were being sent, Yin Bishang felt that it was necessary to greet them, and asked him to take the five or six hundred soldiers out of the city, as well as the hundreds of civilians who were responsible for setting up the venue, to be prepared.

"You...... Tang Yin? ”

Yin Bishang was taken aback when he saw that the person who came to give gifts was Tang Yin, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty.

Tang Yin said: "Gunpowder and heavenly gunpowder are both divine weapons used by the Ming Dynasty to destroy the city and pull out the village, so naturally I will personally send them." ”

"That'...... Then please come in ......"

Yin Bishang saw that Tang Yin's sudden arrival at Hanyang City was definitely not a good thing.

But he was also afraid that people would know that he had conspired with him before Tang Yin entered the city.

Because Li Ke is a very suspicious lord of the country, he will kill people at every turn because of suspicion.

After entering the camp.

Yin Bishang also directly asked Tang Yin what he meant: "Tang Yin, you won't be here to persuade me, right?" ”

Tang Yin smiled: "Why do you want to persuade you to surrender? If you want to fight your North Korea, the prince of Lai Guo will lead 50,000 soldiers and horses, and he can kill you under Hanyang City within ten days, do you believe it or not? ”

Although Yin Bishang didn't want to admit it, after thinking about it, he nodded helplessly.

"So Da Ming wants to use your life in exchange for entering North Korea?" Yin Bishang, as the Minister of Parliament, was still very lively, and he immediately realized that it seemed that Zhang Zhou had never cared about Tang Yin's life and death.

Throw Tang Yin to Duobi City, and then let Tang Yin come as an envoy again, and even subvert the Korean royal power......

Tang Yin said: "Your faint master, what has he done in the country, I don't want to interfere, but he endangers the Ming Dynasty and secretly colludes with the Jurchens, which the Ming Dynasty cannot tolerate." ”

"It's all slander!" Yin Bi business.

Tang Yin said coldly: "What good is it to slander him for Daming?" If Lai Guogong is unreasonable, he can directly lead troops into North Korea, why bother to let me lead the troops with Park Yuanzong to achieve great things? ”

"So, you still come ......" Yin Bishang felt a chill down his spine.

Obviously, Zhang Zhou and Tang Yin had agreed to leave 4,000 soldiers and horses outside Gyeonggi Province, but now Tang Yin and Park Wonjong actually wanted to complete the subversion of the Joseon royal power with 1,200 men?

Tang Yin said: "Tonight, Park Yuanzong has gone to contact the old people in the city, and with my handwriting, I ordered the defenders in the city to open the city, and at the same time issued a document to kill Li and the old party who supported him. ”

"That ......"

Yin Bishang immediately wanted to go out and inform his people and let them take precautions.

But then he stopped.

Because he realizes one thing.

Unless he takes Tang Yin down now and hands it over to Li to dispose of, it will be possible to clear his suspicions...... The chance is not great, because Tang Yin dared to come to see Park Yuanzong before he helped him rebel, which means that there may be a conspiracy between the two in advance......

With Li's suspicions, even if he is not punished after the defeat of the rebellion in Japan, it is estimated that his good days as a Yin Bishang will come to an end.

Later, Li would also carry out a bloodbath on the Shilin faction.

Yin Bishang suddenly felt why Tang Yin was so confident to come to see him, precisely because North Korea has an almost unreasonable and murderous faint monarch Lee, everyone is in danger, so that even those who are loyal to North Korea can't distinguish right from wrong at a critical time, and even people can't choose a position.

Tang Yin's face was relaxed and indifferent, as if he didn't care about his life at all, and said: "Thinking about it like this, it is better to change the lord of North Korea, and the monarch and ministers to govern wholeheartedly than to continue to be like now, suspicious and suspicious of each other, and even unable to distinguish between right and wrong in their hearts, right?" ”

Yin Bishang said: "It is impossible for you to succeed. ”

"Huh." Tang Yin said with a smile, "If it doesn't work out, the soldiers and horses of the Duke of Kelai will be killed later." Do you think it is better to overthrow a faint monarch tonight and elect a wise ruler, or to have Lai Guogong destroy your Korea and completely annex your territory? ”

Yin Bishang naturally knew that the former was better.

But he can't say that.

Tang Yin said: "Calculate the time, there is still an hour, and the army I brought will detain your soldier Cao Jushu Chengjun and kill him in Hanyang City." The time left for you to choose should not exceed half an hour. ”

"I would never agree with that." Yin Bishang also has his own principles.

Tang Yin nodded and said: "As a loyal minister of North Korea, you have fulfilled your obligations, but whether you are loyal to Yanshan Jun Li or loyal to North Korea depends on your choice." ”

"I now want you to stay on hold tonight, and after the next day has captured Korea, you will contact the courtiers and make them accept all the changes...... In the aftermath you are neither a hero nor a criminal, and you will be allowed to return to your hometown. Your heirs and people can continue to be officials in the court, what do you think? ”
