1257 I Am an Angel
North Korea, Seoul.
The king of Joseon, Yi Liang, is forty-three years old this year, but on the surface he looks at least sixty.
The spirit of the whole person seems to have been emptied, and only a shell remains.
The damage caused to North Korea was too great, and the damage caused to Li Liang was too great.
Li Liang's political stance has always been "pro-Ming and Qing Dynasty", and he has always demanded and educated his courtiers in this way in China, so his surrender to the Qing Dynasty made his reputation in the court plummet.
Though he is king, he is the greatest.
However, civilian officials can express their dissatisfaction with resignation, and the tide of resignation and retirement has been set off in the DPRK and China, and the military attachΓ©s are even more terrifying, with rebellions and conspiracies emerging one after another.
Li Liang had no choice but to laugh at himself as a "bird with a broken bow".
His subordinates also criticized him: "After the great chaos, there is no cheer up, and there is nothing to do for a day." β
He now has to do everything in his power to keep his throne.
It was at this time......
A henchman ran in and shouted at Li Liang: "King! King! Something big is wrong, something is wrong. β
Li Qi was weak: "What's the matter?" β
The henchman said: "Cao Wenzhao, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, sent troops to attack Dandong, and the first battle was successful, and now Dandong City has been broken. The three kings of Sanshun, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, were all killed. β
When Li Qi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and stood up with a brush: "Really? β
Confidant: "Seriously! There are countless ordinary people on our side standing on the Yalu River, seeing the battle on the opposite side with their own eyes, and they can't fake it. β
Li Liang ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy.
The wrinkles on the old skin suddenly became less, as if he was ten years younger, from the old appearance of sixty years old, to the appearance of fifty years old in an instant.
"If Dandong is attacked by the Ming Dynasty, then between the Manchu Qing Dynasty and our country, wouldn't there be a Ming Dynasty?"
The henchman said: "Exactly! Before Dandong was recovered by the Manchus, it was impossible for the Qing army to attack our country. β
Li Kun: "Hahaha, hahaha......"
After laughing six times, he suddenly thought of something: "Oops! Da Ming suddenly became powerful again, will they blame me for surrendering to the Manchus in the first place. β
Confidant: "This ......"
Li Liang's face brushed the ground and aged ten years again, wrinkles instantly climbed up, and his face was full of sadness: "Oops, Da Ming will definitely blame me, I betrayed Da Ming, surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even sent troops to help attack Phi Dao, Da Ming must hate me to death." β
The henchman didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to freeze.
"Will Da Ming also send troops to fight me?" When Li Liang thought of this, his face instantly turned old and turned into a sixty-five-year-old appearance.
"Report!"
A henchman ran in from outside, and shouted urgently: "The Ming Dynasty has sent an envoy over." β
"What?"
Li Qi was overjoyed, and instantly regained his fifty-five-year-old appearance: "Ming envoy? Come in, please. β
Soon, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty came in.
Li Liang looked at it, and it was a man dressed in white who came in, who looked to be about forty or fifty years old, but he was in good spirits, and he had a calm and confident gentleman's style, which made people like it at first glance.
The man in white bowed his hand: "In Xia Baiyu, on the order of Cao Wenzhao, the coastal chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, I came to meet His Royal Highness, and there are important state affairs to discuss." β
"Huh? Sent by General Cao? Li Liang stiffened slightly, this person was not sent by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but by a general soldier? Uh, it's over...... Finished......
Li Liang brushed the ground, and he was five years old, becoming sixty years old.
The white kite smiled: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about the slight words of the people in the subordinates, it is just the name of the chief soldier to use it in the subordinates, in fact, the backstage is big." What is said below is counted. There will be people who support His Highness, and the things that will be discussed with His Highness will be implemented. β
Li Kun thought to himself: How big can it be?
Seeing his hesitant expression, the white kite guessed what he was thinking, smiled slightly, and pointed to the sky: "The person behind me is the sky!" β
Li Liang suddenly understood, it was a great tomorrow.
It turns out that you are not a person sent by Cao Wenzhao, but an angel.
Overjoyed at this moment, his face instantly became younger, and immediately became fifty years old: "I see, very good, very good, I don't know the angel, what is the guidance?" β
White Kite: "This time, it's just one thing." I hope that His Royal Highness will sever the relationship with the Manchu Qing and return to the embrace of my Ming Dynasty. β
This sentence is really what Li Liang likes to hear.
That's what he wants!
But he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and asked cautiously, "Da Ming...... Will forgive our country? β
The white kite took out a side of the fan, brushed the ground and shook it off, revealing the word gentleman on the fan, and said with a smile: "The gentleman is the same as the world, and the villain is small, the more baht." β
"Why did North Korea claim to the Manchus, our Ming Dynasty is very clear." The white kite sighed lightly: "Your Highness is not easy, how can I not know the reason of the Ming Dynasty?" If you have to be angry about this little thing, how can you talk about the bearing of the heavenly dynasty and the kingdom. β
Li Qi was overjoyed, and tears couldn't stop flowing out: "Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang is really depressed in his heart, thank you for the Heavenly Empire's understanding...... Woo...... Xiao Wang is so difficult...... Woowoo woo ......"
The white kite smiled and didn't speak, just waiting for Li Ju to cry slowly.
I don't know how long it took before Li Liang raised his head and said: "Xiao Wang is dedicated to the Celestial Empire, as long as the Celestial Empire is willing to send troops to help me in North Korea, I dare to turn against the Manchus at any time, but I have to ...... the existing matter."
White Kite: "Are you talking about hostages?" β
"Yes!"
After the rebellion, the Qing army withdrew and took away the son of Zhaoxian and the prince of Fenglin (later Hyojong of Joseon) and held him hostage.
If North Korea dares to turn against the Manchus at this time, the lives of these two hostages will not be guaranteed.
The white kite smiled: "Of course we understand this, so leave the matter of rescuing the hostages to us." Your Highness can turn his face with the Manchus for the time being, pretend that he is still a vassal of the Qing Dynasty, and wait for us to rescue your hostages, and then you can announce it to the other side. β
Li Liang was overjoyed, this time he had no doubts, brushed the ground, and his appearance returned to the age of forty-three, the way he should have been......
All the spirits that have been evacuated will be restored in an instant!
The king of Joseon, Yi Liang, has been resurrected in a state full of blood!
Sure enough, I still have to follow the Ming Dynasty to feel more like a person.
Li Kun: "This time, I can invite back those officials who resigned and returned home, and they can be used by me again." All the officials in the court will support me even more. The military attachΓ©s who conspired to rebel will also obediently return to their hearts. β
The white kite smiled slightly: "Next, just wait for our good news." β
