North Korea, Hanyang City.

After the report was submitted to the head of the country, Zhang Zhou sent the reply back to Hanyang City, expecting to directly determine the position of the head of the country, and the Korean subjects who hoped that "Korea would enter stability" were disappointed.

Zhang Zhou's indication that he would ask the emperor to select and submit for approval is tantamount to adding more than 10 days to the uncertainty of this matter, and also bringing many uncertainties to the situation in Korea.

Park Yuanzong, as the "initiator" of the rebellion, will be sandwiched between the old Xun faction led by Li Kedun and Yin Bishang led by the Shilin faction, and he also began to have a sense of crisis, and he and Liu Ziguang came to see Tang Yin with generous gifts the day after Zhang Zhou's news was returned.

“…… Tang Shangcha, the position of the lord of the country is undecided, your reward cannot be given for a while, and the title given to you cannot be granted in time. ”

Park Wonjong came up or lured.

Tang Yin sat cross-legged at the table, with a chessboard in front of him, playing chess for himself.

It's not that he has this Yaxing, but after he came to North Korea, he found that such a place where he is unfamiliar with the place and doesn't even understand the language with ordinary people is really boring.

As the capital of North Korea, Hanyang City is not as prosperous as the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty, and Tang Yin now misses the prosperity of the Jiangnan city.

Tang Yin said: "I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and I can't accept the title you give. I only have to finish my own errand to return to the court. ”

Liu Ziguang rubbed his head and said, "The envoy is right, but the lord of the country has not been decided, won't your errand be completed?" ”

"Whoa!"

Tang Yin was very irritable when playing chess, overturned the chess box in front of him, and said a little irritablely: "Do you think I'm in a hurry to return to the dynasty now?" ”

"Huh?"

Liu Ziguang was stunned, looked at Park Yuanzong sideways, and thought, then are you in a hurry or not?

Park Wonjong said: "It was proposed that it was Lai Guogong who decided the candidate for the head of the country, and now it will be submitted to His Majesty Daming, which will cause turmoil in Korea during this period, and the informant report that there have been rebels in Gangwon Province who have begun to assemble, wanting to avenge the deposed lord and usher in restoration." ”

Tang Yin shook his head and said, "Restoration is impossible, at that time, you killed Li and his son, isn't it?" ”

This made the North Korean lobbyist duo helpless.

You Tang Yin spoke quite directly, since you think that you should not leave any troubles, then why are you still leaving Li and his sons and concubines, and they don't kill any of them?

Even the lackeys around Li only arrested a few people, and the big family didn't move, like Li Kedun's brothers are still arguing with us in the court.

Pu Yuanzong said: "However, the liquidation of the rebellious ministers and thieves is also urgent. ”

Tang Yin said: "When Li was in power, everyone had to rely on others to survive, and everyone had a time when they were about to make a mistake, do you dare to say that you didn't do anything against your will a few months ago?" ”

"Mr. Tang......" Park Yuanzong knelt directly to Tang Yin, and even kowtowed, "The safety of North Korea is all up to you, or you will ascend the throne and inherit the lord of North Korea." We will fully support it. ”

"What?"

Tang Yin was still looking calm and ridiculous, but when he heard this, he suddenly stood up, glared at Park Yuanzong and said, "Don't mention this kind of disobedient words." Wait a little longer, Your Majesty will definitely choose the person of the lord of the country, just wait. ”

Park Wonjong and Liu Ziguang looked up at Tang Yin.

I thought, we all sincerely invite you to be the lord of this country, and you are still so "polite"? It seems that you really don't have the intention of transgression.

But the question is, do you not want to, or do you not dare to do it?

We all know that you have a "senior brother" behind you is very awesome, but choosing you as the lord of the country could have been used as an alternative, maybe the Ming Emperor would have preferred this?

……

……

Park Yuanzong and Liu Ziguang came out, and both of them were disgraced at this time, and even Liu Ziguang didn't expect that Park Yuanzong would suddenly kneel down and say such a thing before.

After coming out, Liu Ziguang felt as if he had discovered something he shouldn't have discovered, and he didn't dare to look at Park Yuanzong.

Park Yuanzong said as if he was fine: "It seems that there is no need to worry about Tang Yin's unauthorized power and self-reliance." ”

"Yes." Liu Ziguang agreed, thinking in his heart, you don't want to remind me that you were just testing Tang Yin by doing that just now, right?

"Haven't you made any progress on the gifts you have prepared?" Park Yuanzong asked sharply.

Liu Ziguang said: "Everything that can be sent has been sent around, gold, silver, jewelry, and even beauties, antiques, calligraphy and paintings...... There are very few antique calligraphy and paintings that have been exiled to North Korea, but some fine works have been sent to him, but they have all been returned. He doesn't seem to be good at this. ”

In the past seven or eight days, the North Korean royal family has gone to the minister to bribe Tang Yin in a variety of ways.

The wine-colored and wealthy things were sent to Tang Yin's place in turn, but none of them were accepted by him.

Tang Yin didn't say that oil and salt didn't enter, but Tang Yin felt that he was not "qualified" to accept it, and Tang Yin didn't think it was so rare to talk about those things outside his body...... It's really called tossing to the point of being careful that the liver is plopping.

"Didn't the Lord of Qi'an say that there was a prostitute in his house who could speak well, and he also said that he was going to give it to the envoy? Why haven't you seen anyone yet? Park Wonjong asked.

Li Xuan, the prince of Qi'an, is the son of Ruizong of North Korea, who is famous for being greedy for money and lustful, and has raised a lot of singing and dancing girls in his family.

Before, because the prince of Qi'an was the son of his son, he also had the possibility of succeeding to the throne, and he also secretly wanted to give gifts to Park Yuanzong and Tang Yin, but there was no way, and it was only at this time that Park Yuanzong remembered the prince of Qi'an.

Liu Ziguang said: "Tang Yin is not lustful, can this plan be successful?" Besides, now that all the decisions are made by the Ming Emperor and Lai Guogong, wouldn't it be too ...... to just give gifts to a Ming envoy?"

In other words, are we looking for the wrong target? No matter what Tang Yin says, he is just an obedient person, and we can't bribe the Ming Emperor, so it's better to bribe Zhang Zhou, the Duke of Laiguo.

Park Yuanzong shook his head and said: "A dead horse should be a live horse doctor, why didn't Lai Guogong personally set foot in the land of North Korea?" In the future, the rise and fall of North Korea may depend more on Tang Yin, and you and I can only leave us a good way out in the future if we get a good deal with him. This ship is easy to sink. ”

"You...... I? Liu Ziguang frowned.

Is this being said to me?

Although I was a participant in this coup, it seems that I only joined when you attacked the palace gate, and if you don't come to settle me afterwards, I feel that I have burned incense.

You actually forcibly said that we were in the same boat?

Park Yuanzong said coldly: "Do you think that besides me, there are still people from the Old Xun Sect and the Shilin Sect who will protect you?" ”

"Huh?"

Liu Ziguang was shocked.

Only then did he realize that the so-called same boat was not from the position of the rebellion, but from the position of existing in Korea now.

They are now no longer tolerated by the traditional old Xun faction and the Shilin faction, and the rebellion itself was initiated by Tang Yin, and only if Tang Yin can represent the suzerain, the Ming Dynasty, and even get the support of the Ming Dynasty, can they have the basis to continue to control the government in Korea.

Liu Ziguang said: "I understand, it doesn't matter who is the lord of the country now, it is far less important to befriend Tang Yin and the Duke of Lai Guogong behind him." I'm going to hurry up and urge the Lord of Qi'an to send someone here. ”

"Hmm." Park Yuanzong nodded in satisfaction.

sent Liu Ziguang to ask for someone first, but he couldn't help frowning, and said to himself like a self-pity: "Am I going to mix with this kind of person?" ”

……

……

The person still sent it to Tang Yin.

When people arrive, Park Yuanzong personally "checks" them.

When Park Yuanzong saw that there were six or seven maids, just accompanied by a woman who looked calm, he even felt that the prince of Qi'an was deliberately sensational......

"This kind of woman? Go to any flower street and willow lane, grab a handful. Park Yuanzong said sharply to Liu Ziguang on the side and the doorman in the mansion of the Great Monarch of Qi'an.

As the nominal leader of the rebels, Park Wonjong also deliberately posed in front of this group of people.

Liu Ziguang was scolded so much that he didn't dare to answer, but the woman said in very pure Chinese: "Even if I grab a handful, General Park still wants the king to send me here, isn't it?" ”

"Huh?"

Park Wonjong frowned.

This woman really dares to speak, doesn't she know what verbal offense is?

With one order, I can put your head on the ground.

"Tongue wart, turn your head." Park Wonjong was still a little interested.

After the woman turned her head, Park Yuanzong saw that under the sun, the woman looked very fair, only fourteen or fifteen years old, and her voice was delicate, but the words she said seemed to be an old oilman.

"When you are young, where did you learn Chinese?" Park Yuanzong never felt that an ordinary prostitute was qualified to learn Chinese.

Liu Ziguang reminded: "General, she is already twenty-seven years old. ”

"What?"

Park Wonjong was also taken aback.

I said that she was ordinary, just because she saw this appearance, she was an unenlightened chick, and I thought she was just finding a so-called "beauty" casually, so she stuffed it into me.

When I hear her speak, her voice will be like that of a girl, but she will look old in words.

Tell me now...... She's already the same age as two young girls?

Liu Ziguang said with a smile: "I don't believe it, at first glance, I thought that the biggest was only fifteen or sixteen, but that's it...... She...... Also produced ......"

Park Yuanzong said in his heart, sure enough, it is still the prince of Qi'an who can play, otherwise how can he say that the old perverts in Hanyang City are headed by him?

"What's your name?" Park Won-jong asked.

The woman bowed her head and did not answer, as if it was a shy thing to say by name.

Liu Ziguang said: "The general asked you, are you deaf?" ”

The woman said: "The little woman Zhang Lushou, the king calls the green water." ”

"Zhang Lushui? Good! Together with the girl beside her, send it to the same hall, don't be sure not to annoy the doorkeeper, ask and say that I sent it, and don't mention anything about the prince of Qi'an. "Park Yuanzong was still hesitant about giving people away.

But after checking it himself, he seemed to have strengthened his determination.

……

……

The person was sent to the guild hall.

Liu Ziguang watched the woman walking with her head down from afar, and said with emotion: "What a graceful beauty, I heard that the prince of Qi'an has been with you more than once...... I mentioned to Yan Shanjun that there was a beautiful woman in his house, and he said that he would send it to the palace. Now I don't have the life of being a concubine, but I am an envoy's house, which is embarrassing. ”

Park Wonjong did not answer with a gloomy face.

Liu Ziguang asked, "What if the Tang envoy still doesn't accept it?" ”

Park Yuanzong said: "He will accept it." Every time I visit him in the past few days, I can feel the loneliness of others in a foreign land, and at this time, a woman who is ordinary to him, can't even understand words, and can't get rid of the depression in his heart. But if it is a woman who is knowledgeable and can accompany him, he can have a good impression of North Korea, and then ...... Maybe he'll see himself as a North Korean. ”

"Really? Hehe......" Liu Ziguang smiled awkwardly.

He was still pondering in his heart.

You Park Wonzong don't really plan to let Tang Yin be the lord of North Korea, right?

You two brothers, a Korean, a Ming envoy, went to Duobi City to fight, and it was just a matter of comradeship, and now you still want to pry him as the lord of North Korea?

Park Yuanzong turned around and said: "Go and tell the princess Rencui again, about the succession of the king of Jincheng to the throne, it is still to be discussed, let her see if there are other candidates." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "But aren't we moving closer to Concubine Cishun's side?" ”

"This mother and son, if they gain power, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not rebel against our subjects in the future, and now it seems that the Duke of Lai Guo is not the king of Jincheng, and there is a deep meaning behind it. If everything goes according to the established process of North Korea, and the lord of the country abdicates the throne and is succeeded by the closest heir, then what is the point of the Ming doing so many things behind the scenes? Could it be that the Lord of Jincheng became the lord of the country, would he be more friendly to the Ming Dynasty than the King of Yanshan? ”

Park Yuanzong's words made Liu Ziguang seem to have an epiphany in an instant.

Liu Ziguang said: "So, we'd better support someone who is easier to control?" For example, Yan Shanjun's ...... The Son? ”

"No...... The son of Yanshan Jun is not optional, he will definitely take revenge when he is older, but the brothers of the Jincheng Monarch are qualified to inherit the throne, who said that North Korea must be succeeded by the prince of the grandson? We just have to figure out the intentions of the Ming Dynasty before deciding who will succeed to the throne. ”

"But there are no such people among the candidates we reported?"

"It's not important, the lord appointed by the Ming Emperor, I expect that most of them will be selected among the younger brothers of Yanshanjun and the elder brother of the Jincheng Lord, they are weak and nominally 'Changjun', so that North Korea can enter the state of internal strife that the Ming Dynasty wants to see."

"Then we'll be thieves."

"We are originally, only these so-called Changjun, they have no powerful position, we are better controlled, and Daming also needs us to help control it, isn't it?"

After some explanation by Park Yuanzong, even Liu Ziguang seemed to have an epiphany, nodded and went out to make arrangements.

The so-called arrangement is actually to go to Li Yi's brothers to see who is easier to control.

……

……

Inside the building.

Xu Jing was still urging Tang Yin to return to Liaodong earlier, and also to return to Beijing to live a stable life.

"Bohu, we are all southerners, and it is hard enough to spend the winter in Beijing, but we went to Liaodong and North Korea, this half year is really tormenting for us, and we finally have a hope, we shouldn't continue to stay up like this, when will we leave?"

As a southerner, Xu Jing has also been sick in North Korea recently.

can only say that a son-in-law like him is not suitable for people to live in other places.

Boredom in life is also the most important factor.

Tang Yin said: "Lai Guogong gave me a letter separately before, telling me to complete this errand before leaving. If you're in a hurry, you can go back first. ”

"What errand?" Xu Jing asked, "Do you want to control North Korea?" If you want to set up a capital yamen here, then you will ...... in the future Or you won't be able to leave. ”

Tang Yin said with a dark face: "Otherwise? Do you think this is the life I want? Don't I know how deep the water is in Hanyang City? Do you think I can come and go in the guild hall at will? I also want to go back to Jingshi and live a stable life, even if I teach others to fire in Yanwutang, it is better than the current situation. ”

Xu Jing smiled: "So Bohu, we are both the same, we can't endure hardship." But fate laughed at us, and we have all suffered this hardship. Alas! ”

As he was talking, there was a message at the door: "My lord, General Park has sent you a beautiful woman." ”

It was Liu Gui's voice.

"No, send it back." Tang Yin said without thinking about it.

Liu Guidao: "It is said that he is a Han Chinese, proficient in poetry and songs, and can also play chess with adults." ”

"Han Chinese? Are there Han Chinese in North Korea? Xu Jing asked.

Tang Yin was still a little moved after hearing this.

If there is really a Han woman who comes to him, even if she usually just brings tea and water, she can relieve the depression in her heart.

The biggest pain does not come from loneliness, after all, there are many Ming soldiers around him, and even his friend Xu Jing, but he doesn't have any sense of belonging in his heart, which is what makes him anxious.

In a strange place, your spirit is tense all the time, for fear that the North Koreans will fight back, and you are surrounded by a group of big men, who can't grasp the weakness and need of pity in your heart at all...... In other words, others are relying on you, and you can't get a moment of peace in your heart, which is what makes him anxious, and even the reason for Xu Jing's illness.

"Let her in."

Tang Yin finally relented.

When Zhang Lushui opened the door and came in, standing there facing Tang Yin and Xu Jing, the two old men would also have an idea with Park Yuanzong.

This woman is too ordinary, just a girl.

"I am not Han, I am a native Korean, in our North Korea, my status is called a prostitute, I have always been adrift and resold, in the twenty-six years of my life, I have been sold to four people, until after the palace of the Great Monarch of Qi'an, I have lived a stable life for a period of time, but I have two husbands...... One was my slave husband, to whom I bore a daughter...... The other is the king, as long as he is drinking, he will take me with him......"

Zhang Lushui is not singing.

As he spoke, Tang Yin and Xu Jing glanced at each other.

They all sensed a "deep malice" on the part of the North Koreans.

It's okay to send a woman, send a "half-old" in this era, the key is to look like a girl, this is not the point......

This woman who has changed hands several times is still a prostitute, you North Koreans want to slap me Tang someone, shouldn't you send some celebrity lady?
