Gyeongbokgung Palace, Ciqing Palace.

Concubine Cishun was carried out, as the queen mother of Joseon, she was not Li's own mother, so she did not get too high treatment, and even the news of Li's deposition was only informed when someone entered her palace to carry her out.

"If you commit rebellion, you will be reprimanded by the suzerain! North Korea is the domain of the royal palace of Daming County, how can it be qualified to talk about the abolition of the country? ”

As soon as Concubine Cishun came out, she seemed to be a woman who understood politics very well, so she "admonished" Park Yuanzong and Yin Bi Firm, who were standing at the gate of the palace, and said the same to the ministers kneeling at the entrance of the palace.

Liu Ziguang came out of the ministers kneeling below, and said in a loud voice: "The matter has come to this, and I ask the concubine to preside over the government." ”

Concubine Cishun hurriedly said: "You want to clear the king's side, the goal has been achieved, aren't the people of the Shen family and the Hong family killed by you?" Now it should still be on the king. ”

Pu Yuanzong said: "Concubine, the situation is so impossible to change, Tang Yin, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, is still waiting in the front hall, if you can't decide, I'm afraid that Tang Shangcha will decide who will be the lord of the country." ”

"What?"

Concubine Cishun looked flustered.

As soon as Park Yuanzong waved his hand, a soldier immediately handed over a wooden box, and after he opened it, he took out a succession edict from it and said: "Please also ask the concubine Mingjian, the ministers have drafted a scrapped edict for you, which is used to announce all parts of Korea, and it is also to propose to the Ming Dynasty to support the establishment of a new lord." The candidate can be determined by you, but the result must be approved by the Ming before counting. ”

"I ...... A woman is not qualified to decide such a major event...... The identity of Wang Shizi has been recognized by the Ming Dynasty, and the throne should be passed on to Wang Shizi......"

Concubine Cishun's personality is relatively weak, or she is overwhelmed by her unrelated son Li, at this time she does not dare to decide who will be the lord of North Korea casually, so she can only prevaricate in accordance with the legal process.

Yin Bishang glanced at Park Yuanzong and said, "It's okay." ”

Cheng Xiyan, who was followed by Park Yuanzong, said: "Yin Xiang, don't you understand the rules?" When the father is deposed, how can there be a reason to establish a son? Yan Shanjun didn't make enough trouble about his mother's concubine? ”

In other words, the reason why Li is so stubborn and self-serving, killing people without even blinking his eyes, is it all because his wife died at the hands of us old-fashioned ministers?

The previous disasters were all his revenge, and he still wanted to kill them all.

If we abolish Li now and replace him with a son, this matter will be even more lively, and when this new monarch grows up in the future, his revenge may be a hundred times more powerful than his father.

"Shut up!"

Park Yuanzong gave an order, and the scene instantly fell silent.

At this moment, the people present seemed to realize in an instant, what to say is up to the concubine Cishun to decide the heir to the country, in fact, Park Yuanzong is the protagonist of this Ciqing Palace, of course, after leaving the inner courtyard of the palace, there is Tang Yin outside, there is Zhang Zhou above Tang Yin, and there is Emperor Ming above Zhang Zhou.

We just fought for the blood here, and we didn't even have to report the matter to Daming, even if we walked out of the Ciqing Palace, Tang Yin could give you a word after arriving at the front hall.

Park Yuanzong said: "Concubine, your biological son, the prince of Jincheng is now old and married, and with responsibility, you can consider him as the lord of Korea." ”

"This ...... What can he do? ”

Concubine Cishun didn't dare to let her son take on this errand.

It's too dangerous.

Surrounded by wolves, not to mention the Ming side, it is Pu Yuanzong, and these people are not something that Li Yi can parry.

Besides, who knows if this group of people really wants to give, or if they are tempting?

Pu Yuanzong said in a firm tone: "Although the envoy of the Ming Dynasty does not interfere with our selection of the king's candidate, he also made it clear that he must discuss clearly with you, the concubine Cishun, that North Korea has always inherited the throne of the prince with the prince of Jincheng, if it is not the prince of Jincheng, how can others be suitable candidates?" ”

"It makes sense."

Many of the people of the Old Order School below are echoing.

Obviously, the mother-son combination of Concubine Cishun and Jincheng Monarch is the best candidate for them, the ministers of the old Xun faction who have a little military power in their hands.

Because it is very weak, the DPRK and China have little strength, and it is easy to control.

The most important thing is that for the time being, there is no need to be afraid of the mother and son counterattacking, or engaging in some purge movement, and because the mother and son themselves are also suppressed by Yanshan Jun Li, they also hate Yan Shanjun's tyranny.

Concubine Cishun said: "The dog is immoral and incompetent, and he dare not accept this matter." ”

Pu Yuanzong said: "Whether it can be determined or not, it is not up to us to decide directly, and I also ask the concubine to put the candidate up, and the Ming envoy will look at it first." Now it is not to steal the throne, but to ensure the stability of Korea and prevent Xiao Xiao from coveting the throne. ”

"That'...... Then it's up to you......"

Concubine Cishun was also very excited in her heart, although it was a little dangerous for her son to become the king, but it was also a combination of danger and opportunity.

The mother and son did nothing in this Yasukuni incident, and directly sent a king to the ...... afterwards It's pie in the sky.

……

……

Concubine Cishun was in charge, and the name of Li Yi, the prince of Jincheng, was written on the edict.

The ministers followed them to the Qinzheng Palace, while Park Yuanzong went with Yin Bishang and others to ask Tang Yin.

Liu Ziguang followed behind Park Yuanzong and asked loudly: "After Yasukuni, who is in power now?" Could it be that someone from the Ming Dynasty is here to preside over the affairs of my DPRK? ”

A group of people stopped and glared at Liu Ziguang with fierce eyes.

Liu Ziguang also felt that he might have said the wrong thing, so he quickly lowered his head.

The problem was thrown to Park Wonjong.

Park Yuanzong said: "Who do you think is the first hero of Yasukuni?" ”

Liu Ziguang hurriedly said again: "Naturally, it's you, Lord Park." ”

"Wrong." Pu Yuanzong said, "It's Tang Yin, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty." As the deputy marshal of the Liaodong soldiers and horses, I am still under the orders of the Ming Dynasty's Lai Guogong and Tang Shangcha, you don't mess up your duties, the follow-up people and horses will enter the city in the next two days, and there may be rebellions in various places, you don't think that you can sit back and relax now, right? ”

Yin Bishang frowned and said, "Bo Yin, what does this mean, are you going to be a traitor to the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Boom......"

The coalition soldiers who came in with Park Yuanzong directly pulled out all their weapons, and almost rushed up to cut Yin Bishang.

Park Yuanzong was too lazy to deal with Yin Bishang, the nominal leader, he said: "If you take a position, one here today is counted as one, and they are all traitors, and this is only relative to the deposed lord." Now you should think about how to be a supporter of the new Lord, and be more realistic. ”

Although Park Wonjong is from the old Hoon faction.

But he is also a scholar in the end, and this will actually tell everyone the most simple truth.

You treat me as a "traitor", but have you ever thought that now you are in the same situation as me?

If Yan Shanjun is restored, none of you can escape being held accountable, but now that the new lord has not been established, do you still have the heart to care about your personal position?

Cheng Xiyan leaned over, went to Park Yuanzong's ear, and whispered: "If you really want to drive the Ming envoys away, it's not impossible to ......."

This is to remind Park Wonjong.

The task on Tang Yin's side of the Ming Dynasty has been completed, and it is up to us to decide the abolition of the establishment, so why bother to ask him?

Even if we don't dare to kill him and drive him away, can he still make a whole moth with 200 people?

"Are you trying to put me in the position of injustice?" Park Yuanzong figured everything out between the lightning and flint.

Am I afraid of Tang Yin's 200 soldiers and horses?

I'm afraid of Lai Guogong in Liaodong.

You people, you guys, are really better at speculation than I am, and now that you've used people up, you want to throw people over the wall? You didn't think that Tang Yin would dare to take the risk to subvert my Korean monarchy, wouldn't he dare to kill you or what?

He named you to be killed, how can I object?

Also, do you really think that the more than 1,000 soldiers under my command, and the 4,000 soldiers and horses that will arrive in Hanyang City in the next two days, will all be at my disposal?

Am I the only one who is now a "traitor"? It was 5,000 Korean soldiers and horses who listened to Tang Yin, they not only wanted to make a rebellion now, but also wanted to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, and followed the Ming envoy Tang Yin to eat and drink spicy food, who let Tang Yin let this group of border soldiers feel that they were normal soldiers for the first time in Duobi City?

"It's a gaffe." Cheng Xiyan didn't dare to say anything.

"You go first to take the Jincheng Maharaja to the residence close to Gyeongbokgung Palace, I went to see the Ming envoy to see what his opinion is." Park Wonjong said.

……

……

The ministers went their separate ways.

Most of them returned to the Qinzheng Hall first and waited for the results of asking Tang Yin.

And some people, first go to the Jincheng Maharaja's Mansion to welcome the Jincheng Maharaja to a place close to Gyeongbokgung, which can be regarded as protecting people and welcoming people to Gyeongbokgung Palace to succeed to the throne at any time.

Park Yuanzong left Cheng Xiyan and Liu Ziguang behind and accompanied him to see Tang Yin.

He didn't call Yin Bishang because he knew that no matter who supported him, he could not let Yin Bishang continue to be the Minister of Parliament, and this position could only be his own.

"Will the envoys of the Ming Dynasty agree to us supporting the King of Jincheng?" Liu Ziguang said, "From my analysis of the situation and the situation, I know that the Ming Dynasty wants to cause chaos in my North Korea, and will not casually agree to our support for the orthodox prince Jincheng to take over the throne." ”

Cheng Xiyan frowned and said, "Bo Yin, I'm also worried about this. ”

Park Yuanzong said: "In this battle, is there any other person in the royal family who has made meritorious contributions?" ”

"Yun Shui-kun?" Liu Ziguang reminded.

Park Yuanzong scolded: "If Yun Shuijun is allowed to succeed to the throne, it will not only be inconsistent with the legal system, but will also put you and me in danger, is this what Da Ming wants to see?" ”

As he was talking, a soldier from the coalition army came to the door and said, "General Park, Yun Shuijun has gone to meet the Ming envoy." ”

"Sure enough!"

Liu Ziguang almost blurted out.

This can be regarded as a slap in the face for a few people.

Previously, they were still discussing privately whether to drive Tang Yin, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, away, and let them, the Korean ministers, decide who would be the ruler of the country.

Now they are afraid...... If Park Yuanzong really adopted this opinion before, Yun Shuijun had the control of several soldiers and horses in the city, and there were at least four or five thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, plus most of the coalition forces were controlled by Tang Yin, and the strength of the two could complete the second subversion.

What Park Wonjong...... He became an outcast who was used up and discarded.

"Gotta go!" Cheng Xiyan reminded.

Park Yuanzong said: "Now we must quickly contact the members of the royal family in Hanyang City, especially the princes of the various prefectures, the kings of the courts, and others, so that they can come up with enough wine, food, and money to bribe the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, only in this way can the matter of the successor be decided as soon as possible." ”

"I'll go." Liu Ziguang volunteered.

Although he was once a close minister of Li and was hated by the people of the Shilin faction, the old Xun faction still regarded him as half of his own.

At this time, it is necessary to give full play to his character of being good at catering to and befriending, and talk about giving gifts to Tang Yin.

Park Yuanzong originally disdained to cooperate with Liu Ziguang, but he can still use Liu Ziguang now, and because he knows that he must use Liu Ziguang to stabilize those former ministers of the Li faction, so that they feel that they have no plan to liquidate, so as to stabilize people's hearts.

"Okay, it's up to you to go, remember to cater to Tang Yin's favor, he is a genius in Jiangnan, good at poetry and painting, and he is proficient in heavenly machines, I heard that he is the same disciple of Lai Guogong, and he has a prominent background. He also won the trust of the Da Ming Lai Guogong, which is why I dare not offend him. ”

Because he is the younger brother of Lai Guogong, I am afraid of offending him, and the Lai Guogong will send troops to attack North Korea, so I listened to him.

You see, how reasonable is that?

Am I a traitor?

I call it the wind and the rudder...... No, it should be called judging the situation.

……

……

Park Wonjong went to see Tang Yin.

Tang Yin did not stay in the Qinzheng Palace, because he felt that this place was a bit dangerous, so he simply returned to Changdeok Palace, in the Great Hall of Changdeok Palace, facing a Li who was tied up by five flowers.

"Lord Tang, I am willing to die for Daming."

Yunshui Jun Li Xiaocheng faced his former lord and expressed his loyalty to Tang Yin, "After I become the lord of the country, I will assist the Ming Dynasty and wipe out the Liaodong Jurchens in one fell swoop, and the annual tribute to the Ming Dynasty will be doubled from now on." ”

Li Xiaocheng was not a close relative of the royal family, he was very flattering to Li before, and it was because he did not pose a threat that he would gradually control part of the military power, but he defected early last night.

Li scolded on the other side: "The wolf's ambition is punishable!" ”

"Save it. Ha ha. Xu Jing next to him sat on the chair with a triumphant smile on his face.

Tang Yin said: "Yun Shuijun, I don't think I heard what you said, if your new lord knows that you came to see me today and told me this, what do you think will happen to you?" ”

"Then I'm ......"

Yun Shuijun looked nervous, this is to force himself to a dead end.

"As for who will inherit the throne of Joseon, I, Tang, have no power to decide, even if it is not appointed by His Majesty the Ming Dynasty, then I should have asked Lai Guogong who is in Liaodong, and I will truthfully report your merits, so you go back and wait first." Tang Yin said.

Yun Shuijun looked at Tang Yin, Xu Jing and a group of Ming soldiers, and then at Li on the other side.

Xin said that if Da Ming didn't reveal the purpose of his coming today, it might be Li who leaked it to the outside world...... But now that Lee is the deposed monarch, does anyone still believe what he says?

"I have prepared a generous gift for Lord Tang and Lai Guogong." Yunshui Jun said.

"No need!" Tang Yin got up and asked, "Go and discuss the succession candidate with the Korean concubine, is there no news yet?" ”

"It's coming this way." There are guards.

"Rush!" Tang Yin was already waiting impatiently.

……

……

After a long time, Park Wonjong and Cheng Hee-yan came to the main hall of Changdeokgung Palace.

When they saw that Li was still alive, and even scolded themselves, they were still very nervous in their hearts.

In case the Ming Dynasty wants to use Li as a bargaining chip and go back to "restoration", then the name of the traitor will be used by their group of people.

As for Tang Yin...... People are not Koreans in the first place, the rebellion can be united, and they can go their separate ways directly when they turn back, do the Ming envoys still need to care about the position of the Korean lord?

"I have discussed with the eldest concubine the successor, sir, why don't we take a step to talk." Park Wonjong didn't dare to mention the establishment of a new lord in front of Lee.

Tang Yin said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

As soon as Park Yuanzong saw it, he knew that Tang Yin was asking him to deliberately say it in front of Li, so he said: "The result of the concubine's discussion with the ministers is that the king of Jincheng will succeed to the throne of Korea. ”

"Traitor!" Lee continued to scold.

"Shut his mouth." Only then did Tang Yin order a gag.

Then someone blocked Li's mouth with a blood-stained cloth, so that there could only be various humming sounds.

Tang Yin got up and looked at Park Yuanzong and said, "I came to North Korea before, and it seems that I came to canonize the prince of the king, that is to say...... Wang Shizi was approved by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, why was he not among the candidates? ”

Candidate?

Isn't it for you personally, you decide directly? Then escalate the request for approval?

Is there still a three-in-two, two-in-one or something like that?

Tang Yin said: "Although Li has the crime of secretly colluding with the Jurchens, the crime is not death, and he should be exiled to punish him." His son, that is, Wang Shizi, is still recognized by the Ming Dynasty, and if Wang Shizi is not even reported during the selection, it will be against the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor. I'm not here to destroy your throne lineage......"

Cheng Xiyan added: "Understand, how can the envoys of the Ming Dynasty help the thieves? ”

Park Yuanzong glared at Cheng Xiyan, who do you say is the thief?

"We're here to set things right." Tang Yin said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Park Yuanzong nodded busily.

Tang Yin looked at the edict of abolition handed over by Park Yuanzong again, and it seemed that as long as he nodded, Li Yi, the prince of Jincheng, could ascend the throne as the new lord, which was obviously not what Tang Yin wanted to see.

"The king of Jincheng is counted as one, Wang Shizi is counted as one, and then a few people are selected to pass the post to Liaodong on a fast horse, which has been seen by the Duke of Lai." Tang Yin said.

Pu Yuanzong said: "His Majesty the Ming Emperor and Lai Guogong will inevitably see it, in fact, it is better for you to approve it first, and then it is not too late to ask for instructions." The Korean state should not be left without an owner for a day, and it is prone to disaster. ”

Tang Yin said: "I am in Hanyang City, and Lai Guogong is in Liaodong, who dares to cause chaos?" ”

"Huh?"

Not only Park Yuanzong, but even Cheng Xiyan and Li on the opposite side were suppressed.

What a Tang Yin......

You're so imposing.

How about taking our Korean capital as your backyard? To play majestic? Why are you so awesome?

Why...... We can't resist at all?

"If it is decided first, then ask for instructions, if Your Majesty does not agree, will it be abolished again?" Tang Yin's attitude was very resolute, "Hurry up and draft the candidates, if everything goes well, you can pass back and forth within seven or eight days, and the matter will be settled, and it will be a hundred." ”
