With the 4,000 "coalition troops" remaining at the junction of Hwanghae-do and Gyeonggi-do provinces entering Hanyang City, Hanyang City came under the rule of the allied forces.

Nominally, Park Wonjong was the "deputy marshal" of the coalition army, but because of Tang Yin's status as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, this road was controlled by Tang Yin, and in the case of the vacancy of the Korean lord, Tang Yin has become the de facto regent of North Korea.

Tang Yin demanded that the morning court still be carried out every morning, and he was the observer, and the court formed a three-legged situation of Li Kedun, Yin Bishang and Park Yuanzong.

And Park Yuanzong also began to prepare to eradicate Li Kedun and Yin Bishang at one time.

At the same time, the news of Tang Yin's overthrow of the Korean regime reached the territory of the Ming Dynasty a few days later, and Zhang Zhou, who was in the right guard of Dingliao, learned the news.

"Master Zhang, the news just came that it was said that the Tang chief was in Korea to help the Ping'an Province soldiers and horses to make Park Yuanzong, and the king was deposed, and now there is turmoil in North Korea, and it is a good opportunity to send troops to take North Korea."

The commander of the right guard of Dingliao sent Song Yuan to send a message to Zhang Zhoutong, and at the same time brought the "Korean National Letter" sent by Tang Yin's fast horse rang.

Zhang Zhouben was still discussing with Zhu Feng about the deployment of defense in Liaodong, and when he heard this, he read the national letter handed over by Song Yuan, and nodded with satisfaction: "This Tang director can be regarded as living up to His Majesty's trust, and he has actually done a big thing." ”

Zhu Feng was also shocked after seeing it: "Just a few thousand people, give North Korea ......"

"It's not occupation, it's just subversion." Zhang Zhou said with a smile, "If you want to completely conquer Korea, it will be impossible to quell the rebellion everywhere within three or five years, according to the established process, it should be to support the puppet monarch in Korea, and at the same time send troops to station at key points to prepare for the complete unification of Korea in the future." ”

Zhu Feng looked incredulous and said: "Tang Jiaoxi usually looks ordinary, but he never thought that he could do such a big thing, he is really ......."

When it comes to Tang Yin, Zhu Feng still feels that he can't see through this person.

is obviously a "Jiangnan genius" who eats and waits for death, and his heart is higher than the sky before he was admitted to the Jinshi in the past, and he also called Zhang Zhou in various ways.

Why did you suddenly do such a big thing in North Korea?

Zhang Zhoudao: "Send someone to North Korea to pass my handwritten letter, let them know that I have already played to Your Majesty about the establishment of the Korean lord, and Your Majesty and the courtiers will decide who will replace you." ”

Zhu Feng asked, "Then who should replace it?" ”

"Zhijie, there is so much you want to know, this is not something you should care about." Zhang Zhou said with a smile.

"Oh." Zhu Feng lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.

"However, your task is also here, I will let you lead 5,000 troops to advance in the direction of the Korean border, and you will put pressure on North Korea." Zhang Zhoudao.

Zhu Feng asked: "Will this make the North Koreans think that we are going to enter North Korea?" Is it bad for the safety of Tang Jiaoxi? ”

"You're wrong, I'm actually doing this to give my fellow disciple a prestige, what do you think is the reason why North Korea can obey the control of a Ming envoy now? Just because of the three hundred Ming soldiers in his hands? Or the 5,000 Korean border troops? The pressure given to them by the Ming Dynasty and Liaodong is the prerequisite for their internal subversion. ”

Zhang Zhou smiled coldly and said, "The pressure is going to be gradually tightened, and once it is relaxed, there may be some conspiracy waiting for them." Tang Yin did an admirable thing this time, but it was easy to attack the city and difficult to defend the city, and he had no experience in governing the country and securing the country. ”

Zhu Feng said: "It's more appropriate for you to go, Brother Zhang." ”

"Cut! I, the Duke of Damyeonglai, don't rule Korea now, let me set foot in the land of Fanbang? Forget it! Tang Yin has no experience, so I put a little more pressure on the North Koreans, and with this pressure, even if Tang Yin's decree is illogical, they will have to obey it. It's like Yan Shanjun governs North Korea, does it rely on benevolence or skill? ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Feng's political thinking has not progressed.

Zhang Zhou couldn't help but glance at him.

Originally, he already felt that Tang Yin was the most uncompetitive one around him, why does it seem that Zhu Feng, who became famous at the earliest, has become a shortcoming around him?

It's going to be banged again.

……

……

Daming Jingshi.

Before this day of court discussion, an urgent note came from Liaodong, and when Zhu Youzhu was still wearing the crown, Xiao Jing personally sent it to him.

"Your Majesty, I ......am overjoyed," Xiao Jing said.

"Where does the joy come from?" Zhu Youji's attitude was still gentle, and he didn't seem to be surprised, "Did Bingkuan win another battle in Liaodong?" ”

Xiao Jing said happily: "It's not Lai Guogong, it's Lai Guogong's junior brother...... Tang Yin, the head of the military department, personally led the troops in Hanyang City, the capital of North Korea, and overthrew the lord of Korea. ”

"Really?"

Zhu Youzhu didn't take it seriously, but when he took the recital in Xiao Jing's hand and saw that it was Zhang Zhou's recital, he was in a happy mood.

"What about the credentials submitted by North Korea?" Zhu Youzhu asked.

Xiao Jing said: "When we arrive in Beijing together, the slave and maid will be transferred." ”

"No...... Ha ha. Zhu Youzhu said with a smile, "A few thousand people can take down the lord of a country in North Korea, this Tang Yin really still has some ability, no wonder Bingkuan would transfer him to his side regardless of his previous suspicions." I can't underestimate it. ”

Xiao Jing asked, "Then should we issue an order for Lai Guogong to send troops to North Korea now?" ”

Zhu Youzhu was already dressed neatly at this time, and he couldn't help but go to Fengtianmen, he smiled: "You don't understand." I have discussed with Bingkuan that the issue of North Korea should be gradual and orderly, and if North Korea is annexed in one step, the biggest problem will be internal chaos in North Korea. According to Bingkuan, the ethnic identity within North Korea is higher than that of the Jurchens, and since ancient times, it has been convenient to have a sense of family and country, and once it is occupied by foreign forces, it will only bring constant resistance. ”

Xiao Jing said: "You shouldn't be afraid. ”

"But it's going to be overwhelming." Zhu Youzhu said, "The grassland is appeased, and sending troops to North Korea at this time will only drag down the people of Liaodong, and long-term governance will also bring a lot of trouble." It is better to adapt measures to local conditions, and the Ming Dynasty will support the new ruler and support some opposition forces internally, so that they will form a split. Weaken its strength. ”

Xiao Jing blinked and said, "It's still Lai Guogong thinking long-term." ”

Zhu Youzhu said with a smile: "This is all a simple matter, and besides, North Korea has always been the clan of the Ming Dynasty, and it has never been disobedient to the Ming Dynasty, so it is inevitable that it will be directly annexed to the resistance of the surrounding countries to complete the national Zuo clan." Unlike the Tatars and Jurchens, I wanted to use a combination of grace and power to make them happy and obedient to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Xiao Jing didn't dare to give random opinions, so he hurriedly complimented: "Your Majesty is wise." ”

"Go to the servants and tell them the good news. Ha ha. I haven't been so happy for a long time, and when Tang Yin returns to the court, I will reward him well...... Don't look at him who is not very good at fighting, he can still fight a tough battle at this critical time, and it is really unexpected that a thousand men and horses broke Hanyang City. ”

Zhu Youzhi was very comfortable in his heart.

Daming didn't spend much effort to deal with North Korea, which will make Zhu Youzhu feel like he is the only one in the world.

Nothing is a problem.

Xiao Jing said with a smile: "That's still a good education in Laiguo." ”

At critical times, you have to keep up with Zhang Zhou's sycophants, especially in front of the emperor.

"That's natural, even Crane Ling and Trillium can do things under him, let alone people who are capable themselves. That's why I think that Bingkuan is a blessing from God! ”

……

……

Fengtianmen court.

At the very beginning, Zhu Youzhu asked Xiao Jing to announce the government in public, and Zhang Zhou played it, describing the "internal strife" of the Korean state.

In this note, it is mainly mentioned that Park Yuanzong set things right, and Tang Yin, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, was only ordered to question why the king of North Korea, Lee, had a private connection with the Jurchens...... The internal strife in North Korea has nothing to do with my Daming, who is neither the initiator nor the participant, but only a bystander and witness.

But this ......

What about ghost letters?

After waiting for Xiao Jing to finish reading out, Zhu Youzhu said with a spring breeze on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the DPRK has been asked to be crowned the new lord, how do you think you should choose?" ”

Liu Jian walked out and expressed his attitude on behalf of Wenchen: "Your Majesty, as a minister of North Korea, Park Yuanzong has committed a disorderly act, and no matter what, it is not allowed to be secular etiquette. ”

This is equivalent to the statement of a civilian official.

In any case, we can't agree to who Park Wonjong proposes to be the lord of the country.

Because that group of people is complicit.

Zhu Youzhu asked, "How did you mention it?" ”

Xiao Jing said: "At present, North Korea proposes that the son of Li, the former lord of North Korea, that is, the eldest son of the newly canonized, can be the head of North Korea. Or take Li Yi, the prince of Jincheng, as the lord of the country. The latter was recognized by the princess of the Joseon king, the princess of Rencui, and the concubine Cishun. ”

The eldest concubine of Rencui, Han, is the grandmother of the brothers Li and Li Yi, equivalent to the "Empress Dowager", and Concubine Cishun is Li Yi's biological mother.

This is tantamount to telling the ministers present that although this Li Yi is not very old, only thirteen years old, he has the support of two women who have the right to depose the North Korea.

Zhu Youzhu asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, who do you think is suitable?" ”

Li Dongyang walked out and said: "Your Majesty, in such a matter, it should not be personally involved in the Ming Dynasty, and it is better for the DPRK to report it after making its own decisions." Moreover, the previous lord of the country, Li, did not actually trespass, and if he abolished it without authorization, he would only be criticized by others. ”

Civilian officials still don't want to pay attention to these in North Korea.

Originally, it was a group of "barbarians" who were far away from the emperor, and they didn't have much contact with our Central Plains, and they subverted your royal power, which made us seem very awesome, but after the subversion, you will pick a lord by yourself, and we will attack whether this new lord is qualified to succeed to the throne, and even issue an order to reprimand you for "rebellion", which is the proper process.

If people think that it was our Ming Dynasty who contributed to the rebellion and also designated the candidate for your lord, then wouldn't those people in North Korea transfer this hatred from the rebellious Park Yuanzong to the Ming Dynasty?

"Ministry of Rites." Zhu Youzhu said.

Xu Qiong walked out of the crowd, he was already in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he had not left his post for several months, and he still looked old when he came out, which made people feel as if he was dying and wanted to win the sympathy of others.

Xu Qiong's voice was hoarse and said: "Da Ming really doesn't dare to get involved in the matter of the heir of Fanbang, but after the heir decides, he will discuss whether he is qualified to inherit." ”

"I don't think so." Zhu Youzhu said, "If North Korea can decide, they should have already decided, and then report it, which is equivalent to informing Daming, but does it mean to discuss with Daming?" ”

"This ......"

Xu Qiong couldn't answer.

If you decide to report it again, it will be tantamount to "cutting first and then playing", and the courtesy that Daming got is not so big at all.

It's probably like, the North Koreans are saying to the Ming Emperor, look, we have decided the lord of the country, your emperor will approve it, if you don't approve it, we will do it, the big deal is not to get your approval, in short, you will still recognize it in a few years, otherwise how to reflect the Ming Dynasty is the suzerainty relationship with us?

But now it's ...... We don't dare to decide the lord of the country ourselves, please Ming to pick a lord for us, we only listen to the instructions of the Ming Emperor, saying that whoever should be the one should be, not to give the words...... We will leave the seat of the lord of the kingdom empty.

The status of the Ming Sect can be most intuitively reflected in this way.

You ministers are struggling with what etiquette and the like here, but what I want is this face, even if I only choose between these two people, even if the people selected are they may all be inclined to be internalized, but it is such a primary and secondary relationship that makes me have face.

Xie Qian walked out and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what Zhang Zhou, the Duke of Laiguo, who contributed to this matter, has any opinion on this?" ”

Yes?

Many people present looked at Xie Qian with surprised eyes.

You Xie Yuqiao still cares about which person Zhang Bingkuan wants to support as the lord of North Korea? You definitely didn't mean to raise the bar with Zhang Bingkuan, right? Or is it ...... Do you want to imply that in fact, this is all a conspiracy carried out by Zhang Bingkuan?

Zhu Youzhu said: "Bingkuan is in Liaodong and has never participated in this matter, and Tang Yin was sent to North Korea by me to question the Korean lord, this rebellion is all caused by internal disputes in Korea, and it is also because the Korean lord Li is unpopular, otherwise he would not have captured Li alive with a thousand men and horses, and obtained the approval of the Korean royal family for the Yasukuni matter." Xie Qingjia, don't talk nonsense about some things. ”

Xie Qian smiled, hurriedly raised the wat board and said, "It's the old minister's gaffe." ”

What a gaffe.

Your Majesty, what else are you pretending?

Everyone knows that this matter was done by Zhang Bingkuan, Tang Yinli's great contribution is just a pawn sent out by Zhang Zhou, and we all know that Zhang Bingkuan is the "initiator" who leads all this.

We don't believe that Zhang Bingkuan can not make any reminders about who will inherit the throne of North Korea.

Seeing that the ministers present did not directly answer the question of choosing one of the two, Zhu Youzhu said: "Since the ministers have not decided on who will inherit the lord of Korea. It's better to decide in a few days. ”

Liu Jian said: "This is inappropriate. It will only plunge North Korea into turmoil. ”

Zhu Youzhu said in his heart, North Korea is turbulent, is it not in line with me?

What I want now is to level the steppe as soon as possible and mess up North Korea, just so that I can carry out my plan.

Li Dongyang said: "The country cannot be without a long monarch, and the Korean country should be the same, after all, the son of Li is young, and it is not impossible to consider inheriting the position of the lord of the country with the king of Jincheng." ”

Zhu Youzhu said coldly: "Li Qing's family is very concerned about the stability of the Korean country. ”

In other words, which side are you on?

With the help of Zhang Zhou and Tang Yin, I finally messed up North Korea, and you ministers discussed for a long time, how to quickly calm down North Korea? Do you not understand my good intentions, or do you deliberately cause trouble here?

Confucian etiquette?

Can Rites Be Eaten?

Besides, you usually care about the etiquette and religion of the people of the Ming Dynasty in the court, what kind of etiquette and religion do you talk to the Koreans?

Li Dongyang heard that the emperor was sarcastic about himself, and he said: "The minister doesn't dare to talk about it. ”

This means, Your Majesty, who you say is whoever you are, if you want to drag it, then drag it, we don't care.

"We can't ignore the internal affairs of North Korea, that is also the land of the Ming Dynasty in the end, I can't be irresponsible, I heard that North Korea has sent a team of envoys to pay tribute, it is estimated that there will be more than ten days to reach the Ming Dynasty, before this matter is settled."

Zhu Youzhu is not in a hurry.

It's a big deal that you dare to make your own decisions about who will be the ruler of the country, since you have asked me, if you still dare to make your own opinions, see if I don't let Bingkuan beat you up!

I just like to watch the excitement.

How?

……

……

As soon as the court discussion ended, Zhu Youzhu took Luan to the Qianqing Palace.

As soon as the emperor left, the pot exploded in an instant before Fengtianmen.

"A thousand men and horses, and the lord of North Korea was arrested? Good guy, this Tang Yin is the second Wang Bo'an! ”

"Will there be Zhang Bingkuan casting a spell behind his back?"

"The lord of North Korea is not prepared at all? Or are you deceived by your courtiers? Wasn't North Korea quite stable before? Why is it all of a sudden? ”

The ministers were dumbfounded.

If it hadn't come out of the emperor's mouth, knowing that this matter could not have been bragging by Zhang Zhou and Tang Yin, everyone would have felt that this had been blown to the sky.

Xie Qian smiled: "Yes, people who tell stories and make up dramas don't dare to write like this." Maybe it's Lee, it's really unpopular. ”

Hubu Shangshu Zhou Jing sighed: "I think it is more because Lai Guogong, Xinjian Bo and others are at war with the Jurchens of Jianzhou, Haixi and other departments in Liaodong, and they have too much pressure on North Korea in military and political affairs, plus Park Yuanzong's move is obviously secretly instructed by Lai Guogong." ”

"That makes sense." Shen Lu walked out and said with a smile, "Then look, do you want to pull Pu Yuanzong to the side of Daming?" In this way, North Korea can really be regarded as the clan of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Shen Lu is also quite proud now.

Because of the previous discussion on Zhu Youji's concubine, Shen Lu had more contact with Zhang Zhou, and he felt that Zhang Zhou had a "weakness", that is, Zhang Zhou was also a greedy and lustful "layman", and he could obtain political resources for himself by getting along with Zhang Zhou.

Liu Jian almost said with a final word: "In the affairs of North Korea, you should not get involved, any chaos in North Korea needs to be sent by the Ming Dynasty and Liaodong to deal with the aftermath." North Korea is Liaodong, don't you want to do it yourself? ”

When everyone heard this, they understood.

Zhang Zhou made a mess, and Zhang Zhou had to clean it up by himself.

The internal situation in North Korea, no matter how much we talk about it in Beijing, it is not as good as Zhang Zhou's fart in Liaodong.
