As soon as Tang Yin and Xu Jing and their entourage entered North Korea, the news reached the city of Pyongyang.

The officials and people of Pyongyang were also in a commotion, this evil god has only been gone for a year, and he actually ran back, and he still came as a special envoy of the Ming Dynasty, so what kind of big deal is it going to do? The previous time I directly changed the lord of North Korea, will I paint the scoop according to the gourd again this time?

Immediately, the king of North Korea, Li Yi, sent his trusted minister, who was also the one who made great achievements in the battle anyway, and now Park Yuanzong is the minister of the Korean government, and also sent a convoy of gifts and greetings to meet Tang Yin and his party on the official road.

When Tang Yin arrived in Xuanzhou with a team of envoys, Park Yuanzong also rushed over non-stop, and hurried to visit Tang Yin, the father of the Korean nation, that night.

"Bo Yin, you shouldn't have come, I came to do things on the orders of the emperor, and you were ordered by your lord, so there are some conflicts, and you can't talk about friendship like before, you and I should still do business."

Tang Yin looked official.

He wasn't like that before, but now he's different.

The right squire of the Ministry of Works, although he only obtained the official title because of the commander of the Yizhou Mountain Factory, but at the end of the day, he is also an official at the level of the Ming squire, and he is also the younger brother of Zhang Zhou, the leader of the new faction, plus the things he did in Liaodong before, so that he can hold his head high in front of the Koreans.

Even Xu Jing on the side didn't feel comfortable.

Along the way, Tang Yin didn't have any fights, and he was completely a friend, and now Xu Jing realized that the identities of the two were completely different because of the identity of the first-level jinshi, of course, Xu Jing thought so, Xu Jing expected the most to be like Tang Yin, to be admitted to the Jinshi, and then rely on Zhang Zhou's brilliance to be invincible in the court.

Park Yuanzong didn't seem to care about being gossiped about, and hurriedly said in a welcoming tone: "The Tang envoy is coming, how can you not welcome it without heart?" Speaking of which, it is all up to you to have today's status in the next place, and it all depends on your support all the way. ”

This is equivalent to showing his attitude to Tang Yin.

The lord of the country or something...... It is very important, as a vassal of the Korean state, he naturally has to pay attention to the principle of loyalty.

But the problem is that this lord of the country is still appointed by the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the initiator of the internal turmoil in North Korea is Tang Yin, in Park Yuanzong's view, if it were not for Tang Yin not being a member of the Korean royal family, the Ming Emperor would definitely let Tang Yin be the lord of the country, not Li Yi.

So returning to the issue of loyalty, Park Wonjong would rather show his loyalty to Tang Yin and the Ming behind him.

Tang Yin said: "Since you say so, then let's sit down, talk about it, come here, and serve tea." ”

Pu Yuanzong glanced back, in addition to the Jinyi guard, there were also the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and these soldiers served tea to him, which made him feel palpitated.

He had seen the firearms of the Ming official army before, so before he came, he also made a special inquiry to see if Tang Yin also brought firearms, which seemed to represent whether the Ming Dynasty was here to give orders or to be rough.

……

……

The two of them sat down.

Pu Yuanzong's side specially called over a scribe who was responsible for recording on the side, and Tang Yin's side left Xu Jing and a few guards beside him, which was to prevent Pu Yuanzong's head snake from messing around.

Tang Yin said: "Since the beginning of last year, I have been thinking about the affairs in North Korea. ”

Park Yuanzong smiled: "If you have a concern, come back at any time." ”

Tang Yin glanced at this guy, and his eyes seemed to say, I'm not from you North Koreans, and I really think that what I said about worrying about people and things here?

"Liaodong has been going through a lot of things for more than a year, and the Jurchens have rebelled, what do you Koreans think?" Tang Yin's face turned cold.

"North Korea resolutely condemns this, unlike our concept of the founding of the DPRK, we have always regarded the Ming Dynasty as orthodox, and will never make a disobedient move, if you don't believe it, Tang envoy, you can send people everywhere at any time to check to see if there are such wolf ambitions." Park Yuanzong seemed to anticipate that Tang Yin did not have the ability to investigate in detail, and deliberately said so.

Tang Yin frowned and said: "North Korea has a lord, just like the Jurchens have their own clan leaders, you are all courtiers, everything should be done according to the instructions of the Ming Dynasty." If you Koreans are allowed to move to Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, will you be ordered? ”

"This ......"

Park Yuanzong was dumbfounded for a while.

Xu Jing said with a smile next to him: "The Jurchens are also because they are not suitable for the environment in southern Liaoning and other places after moving inward, so they want to go back to live their life of drinking blood, to say that His Majesty the Ming Dynasty and Cai Guogong are very kind to them, give them enough living conditions, and even divide the land for them, but they don't seem to know how to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country." ”

Park Yuanzong hurriedly said: "Two envoys, I think so, North Korea has its own territory, although it is also given by the Heavenly Empire, but the people here have been living here for generations, rashly let them move inward, it will definitely rob the land of the people of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, it is better to let them continue to live a life of male farmers and female weavers in the place where they are adapted." ”

Speaking of this, Park Yuanzong saw that Tang Yin's face was not quite right, and hurriedly added, "The Korean people are different from the Jurchens, we also live by farming, the people are mainly farmers, and they have been like this for generations, and they are not like the Jurchens in the matter of education, they are like a group of uncivilized beasts in our opinion." ”

"That's a good point."

Tang Yin nodded, as if agreeing with Park Yuanzong's statement, "Even if most of your people are farmers, do they know that they are more loyal to the lord of the country, or do they know that they are more loyal to His Majesty the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Pu Yuanzong said: "Naturally, it is His Majesty the Ming Dynasty." ”

Tang Yin frowned and said: "But I have met many people along the way, most of them can't even speak Chinese, and they don't know where the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty is, how can they have the heart of loyalty?" ”

Park Yuanzong explained: "Tang envoys, you see, after the people were born, they never left their land, they only adapted to the surrounding environment, and they did not understand the righteousness, after all, North Korea is too backward, and the people are not literate, let alone let them learn the way of kingization." However, the overall situation of North Korea is not decided by these people, but by the lord of the country and the ministers, who have a heart of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, then the national policy will not be chaotic. ”

"Huh."

Tang Yin smiled, as if he felt disdain for Park Yuanzong's statement.

Xu Jing heard the contempt in Tang Yin's tone, so he sneered and said, "That is, the people are loyal to your lord first, and then your lord is loyal to the Ming Dynasty?" If your lord rebels, who will the people follow? ”

"No, it won't." Park Wonjong was smiling wryly.

Cold sweat broke out on his head.

Today, I thought that I could get in touch with Tang Yin through some friendships, complete my errand, and go back to the errand as soon as possible.

Who knew that from the beginning, Tang Yin's tone had been using him as a target, and Park Yuanzong even felt that it might be more appropriate to say these words in front of him to the court of the Korean state, and he should not face Tang Yin's barrage alone.

Tang Yin said: "Since you are all loyal to the Ming Dynasty, why have the military expenses and materials given in the past two years become less and less day by day?" Don't say anything about the disaster you have suffered again, I have already sent someone to ask, from last autumn to this year's summer grain harvest, even if the wind and rain are not smooth in your North Korea, there is no major famine, and the people have surplus food, but the Ming soldiers are in Liaodong, but they can't survive by eating chaff and vegetables! ”

Park Yuanzong also wanted to explain, but when he heard this, Tang Yin blocked the tone he wanted to explain.

Pu Yuanzong said: "The Ming Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, and the land is vast and rich, how can there be a lack of that bit of food?" Besides, the Korean lord and other ministers have been frugal in food and clothing, and since the lord of the country ascended the throne, all celebrations have been canceled, and the daily meals are only to maintain food and clothing, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have also set an example, and the monarch and the ministers have never been extravagant. ”

Tang Yin said: "What do you mean, I wronged you?" ”

"I don't mean that, it's just that we ...... It's also hard. Pu Yuanzong said, "We have been trying our best to raise what should be given, but I heard that after these military rations were transferred to Liaodong, many of them were also sent to those Jurchen people who moved inward, and they had food to eat, while our people were still hungry, which seems to be ...... It is against the principles of heaven. It stands to reason that the people who are loyal to His Majesty the Ming Dynasty should be protected by the Holy Ming Sovereign, not those thieves who have different intentions without being transformed into a king. ”

Tang Yin shook his head and said, "When I left, and when your lord left Daming, you didn't say that. ”

Park Yuanzong finally couldn't help wiping his sweat with his sleeve this time and said: "Tang envoy, I hope you can be accommodating, the life of the Korean people in the past two years is not very good." ”

Tang Yin said: "That is to say, your lord is untrustworthy, and he can't even fulfill his promise to the Ming Dynasty, so what is the meaning of him as the lord of North Korea?" Do you want to maintain the peace of one party, or do you want to take the overall situation into account first and ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty? ”

"Both...... Both. Park Yuanzong said.

"The tranquility of Liaodong comes first, this is what Your Majesty meant, don't you North Korea obey the edict?" Tang Yin's tone became very stern.

Pu Yuanzong said: "You don't have to be angry, after you go back next time, you will definitely find a way to raise military rations, even if it is the part you owe before, you will make up for it." I hope you ...... I can give a grace period of a few days. ”

Xu Jing smiled and said: "We are also ordered to do things, your little lord, didn't you say that you just accepted a new princess?" Also, do you want to get the canonization of orthodoxy and the recognition of you by the Ming Dynasty? If you don't do anything, you can't just rebel. After all, your lord is not in the right position. ”

Park Yuanzong looked at Tang Yin with a puzzled face and said, "It's not ......"

Tang Yin said: "Because of the affairs of your lord, I have always been a criminal minister, and I am not tolerated by the Ming world, from the perspective of Confucianism, this is to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne." ”

"Ahem."

Park Yuanzong became nervous now,

He heard what Tang Yin meant, Da Ming not only recognized Li Yi's throne, but also could cancel it for him at any time.

It depends on whether Li Yi can really do things for the Ming Emperor, as for how Li Yi governs the country, the Ming Emperor is too lazy to care, or the life or death of the Korean people is not what the Ming Emperor cares about.

What the king of the Ming Dynasty wants is to make Liaodong peaceful and make all the Fanbang aliens submit, under this premise, even if he finds someone to sit on the throne of North Korea, it is okay.

Pu Yuanzong said: "Tang envoy, this time you came, did you want to ask the teacher to ask for sin?" ”

Tang Yin said: "I brought people, but I didn't bring a cannon, do you think I'm here to trouble you?" ”

"You...... You're certainly not. ”

Park Wonjong wiped a cold sweat.

I'm wondering in my heart, you didn't bring a few people with you last time, but in the end, didn't you turn North Korea upside down?

"Bo Yin, let me ask you, if you really want to choose one time in a major matter, which side do you choose?" Tang Yin stood up and asked earnestly.

Park Yuanzong sat there stunned, and when he raised his head, the whole person was confused.

And said that you, Tang Yin, are you not here to do something?

They all asked me where I standed, what does that mean...... Let me follow you again, overthrow the lord of North Korea, and change it again?

Tang Yin said: "You don't have to write down these words. ”

His eyes immediately glared at the North Korean subordinate official who was in charge of recording on the side, and the subordinate official was also frightened, and he could naturally hear that Tang Yin was probably here to trouble the North Koreans, or rather, to trouble the North Korean lord.

"Think about whether it is important to follow the emperor's orders or to continue to maintain the interests of your people. I am not only here to express goodwill, but also to ask the teacher to ask for sin, of course, not by force, I hope you can understand. I don't have to bother tonight. ”

……

……

Park Yuanzong walked out of the post house in a cold sweat.

As soon as he came out, he was blown by the wind and a spirit on his body, and Hong Jingzhou, who came with him, hurriedly greeted him.

Hong Jingzhou is also the old Xun faction, and he is the hero of Zhongzong anyway, of course, it is different from history, when things are planned and implemented by the Ming Dynasty, this group of courtiers in North Korea is at most a formality, and only Park Yuanzong is promoted faster than in history because he closely follows Tang Yin's pace.

"My lord, how's that?"

Hong Jingzhou hurriedly inquired.

Park Yuanzong glared at the scribe on the side, and then said, "It's still for the sake of requisitioning grain." ”

Hong Jingzhou said: "Last year, we have sent hundreds of thousands of stone grain to Liaodong, and the livestock we can mobilize are being transported almost every day and every night, so Daming is still not satisfied?" ”

Pu Yuanzong waved his hand and said: "You are not from Hucao, you don't know the specific number, and you don't know what the agreement with Daming is, so there is no need to say this kind of thing." It only adds to the suspicion. ”

"Yes." Hong Jingzhou hurriedly lowered his head.

"Now I have to inform my lord quickly, let him know that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty are not good, and you must know that this time it is not easy to deal with. Just giving some food or bribes, he won't just leave, and even if he doesn't bring many people, he may have the ability to respond. When Park Yuanzong thought of Tang Yin, he seemed to feel even colder, and even his shoulders trembled a little.

Hong Jingzhou said: "Isn't that a plague god?" ”

Park Yuanzong sneered: "You think it's an ordinary plague god? I'm afraid it's a bad god, if something really happens, what choice do you make for our group of people? ”

Hong Jingzhou's brain was also bright, and then he stopped making a sound.

……

……

"That's what they said?" Tang Yin was in the guest room, listening to Xu Jing talk about the things outside.

Xu Jing said with a smile: "They still think that if they speak quietly, they can't hear it here, but in fact, we still have eyeliner on their side, it seems that the surname Pu may also realize that standing with us is the right choice." ”

Tang Yin said: "That can only show that this small country lord is still not very popular. Otherwise, what would he do if he wantonly crowned the so-called meritorious heroes? Isn't it because of a weak heart? ”

Xu Jing also nodded and said: "Think about it, the former lord of North Korea, the current Yanshanjun, is actually not so bad, just like that, if he is replaced, there must be people in North Korea who are not convinced." ”

Tang Yin said solemnly: "We did this thing, and we must take a firm stand." What Yan Shanjun is not so bad...... He's too late to be bad. This is Cai Guogong's original words, you must keep it in your heart, don't talk nonsense everywhere! (End of chapter)
