Does Xia State really not interfere in North Korea’s internal affairs?
Do you really not care who becomes the king of North Korea?
How can it be?
Xia Guo is not here to do charity.
But in politics, we must be responsible and upright.
Zuo Mengeng was unsure of the situation, but Hou Xun and Li Banghua saw opportunities in the chaos.
"The restoration of Guanghaejun has two major benefits. First, this person and the Westerners are on the same side, and it is difficult to live in harmony. Only when the two parties fight can the Xia Kingdom calmly arrange its affairs; secondly, this person is very ambitious, and he will definitely do it in due course. Something appalling happens. No matter how the Xia Kingdom deals with it, it will be justified."
Veteran politicians are veteran politicians. The originally complicated situation immediately became clear after Hou Xun and Li Banghua explained it.
Gwanghae-kun, who was like a hot potato, has also become a master of chess.
But Zuo Mengeng's worries did not dissipate.
"Kwanghae-kun has long lost the hearts of the people in North Korea. No matter whether it is the Jin family or the Shen family, I am afraid they will not accept such a king."
Li Banghua chuckled.
"North Korea's political arena is not limited to the Kim and Shen cliques."
Apparently they have already set their sights on the Song Dynasty.
"But the Song Dynasty is still a Westerner party after all. Can it support Lord Gwanghae?"
Since the Xia Kingdom has already taken the banner of not interfering in North Korea's internal affairs, if it wants to promote Lord Gwanghae to ascend the throne, forces within North Korea must step forward.
The Jin clique, the Shen clique and the Song clique are currently in control of North Korea's political arena. Although the three factions have internal disputes, they are all of the same lineage as the Westerners.
Zuo Menggeng felt that it was a bit impossible to ask the Song Dynasty to stand up and support Lord Guanghai, who was the enemy.
"Political factional struggles are, in the final analysis, a struggle for interests. As long as the interests are appropriate, nothing is impossible."
Hou Xun nakedly stated the essence of politics.
So is it possible for the Song Dynasty to change its family?
Jin Yu's return greatly shocked the Song Dynasty. They immediately gathered together and told Jin Yu about their planning ideas.
"No matter who is appointed as the king, North Korea will inevitably return to the old system. At that time, the disputes will still continue, and it will be you, me and the people who will suffer. Only joining the Xia Kingdom is the right way."
Jin Yu was dumbfounded when he heard that Song Shilie and others actually wanted to annex North Korea to the Xia Kingdom.
"The Korean bloodline has lasted for thousands of years and has been independent from the world. Are you doing this to eliminate Korea from the world?"
Seeing that he disagreed, Jin Ji became impassioned.
"How is the name of North Korea like the country above? We can all be citizens of the country above, so why don't we give up being slaves of the country below?"
Seeing the indignation of the Song people, Jin Yu was frightened.
"It is extremely difficult to implement your ideas. Even the superior countries have this intention and will never dare to act rashly."
Song Shilie grabbed his sleeves, eagerly.
"You and I are able to get rid of our status as foreigners and be promoted to the people of the higher country. This is one move. This is a God-given opportunity. If God does not take it, you will suffer the consequences!"
Jin Yu was caught in a dilemma.
In fact, it was difficult for him to decide whether to maintain North Korea's independent status or not.
As a scholar-bureaucrat, he has been influenced by the ideas of Central Plains Studies for a long time, and he has long admired and longed for the Celestial Kingdom.
To become a citizen of the kingdom of heaven and stand tall in the world, just thinking about it makes people's hearts move.
But after two hundred years since North Korea was founded, many systems and customs have long been ingrained. It is not that easy to eliminate them all at once.
"Is this the intention of the higher country?"
There was no other way, so he had no choice but to ask.
Jin Ji, Song Shilie and others stopped and lamented.
"We have tried every possible means, but none of you from the higher country will agree. I really don't know why the higher country has abandoned us, North Korea."
Hearing that Xia Guo was indifferent, Jin Yu let out a sigh of relief for some reason.
Perhaps it was the feelings of family and country deep in his heart that made him unwilling to let North Korea die.
"The respect shown by the superior country to our country, North Korea, shows the great kindness of the superior country. It would be better for us to take a long-term approach."
Seeing that he still refused to second the proposal, Jin Ji, Song Shilie and others were extremely depressed.
Being away from his hometown for half a year, Jin Yu didn't have much thought on political affairs. He said goodbye to everyone and returned home.
Although Hanyang changed its owners many times, the buildings in the city have been relatively intact because they have not experienced many wars.
Jin Yu's home is still well preserved in the city.
His two sons had already brought their families and were waiting eagerly at the door.
"Congratulations to my father on your return from a long journey."
The family knelt in front of Jin Yu, all smiling.
After all, Jin Yu is the head of the family. When he comes back, the backbone of the family is established.
After not seeing each other for many days, Jin Yu noticed that the demeanor of his two sons had changed a lot, so Jin Yu couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Recently, the state affairs have been turbulent and unpredictable. I have been worried that you and others will do something wrong and cause disaster. Now that everything is safe, I am relieved."
Jin Yu's eldest son Jin Zuoming stepped forward to support him.
"The children have always kept in mind their father's teachings, upheld their honor and integrity, and never bowed to the barbarians. In addition, Xia Guo's careful care has made my Jin family safe and sound."
While talking, everyone walked into the courtyard.
After a brief glance, Jin Yu could not help but stand still.
The yard was still the same yard, but many of the layouts in the yard had changed, leaving him in a daze.
From the courtyard gate to the main house in the middle, the road in the middle is straight and flat, gray-white in color, and extremely hard.
He has lived in Xia for a long time, so he naturally knows that this road is paved with cement.
I never expected that I would actually use this thing in my home.
In addition, the windows that were originally made of paper have been replaced with glass. Now they are shining under the sunlight, and the layout inside can be clearly seen.
"Where do these things come from?"
Talking about the changes in their family, both Kim Zuoming and his second son Kim Woo-myung beamed.
"There are countless treasures in the country, and the poor people in North Korea also benefited from this. The children and others worked hard to run a glass business in North Korea. Now the life at home is much better."
Hearing that his two sons actually started a business, Jin Yu couldn't help but frown.
He is a traditional scholar-bureaucrat who pays more attention to farming, studying and inheriting the family, and despises the way of business and stock trading. Now his two sons have violated the family motto, which really makes him a little annoyed.
But before he could reprimand him, what Jin Youming said shocked him.
"Father, you don't know yet? It is said that His Highness King Xia also has shares in this glass business. From now on, our family has established a relationship with His Highness King Xia. His Highness is kind and generous, and he also encourages his children to work hard and benefit the whole country.
.”
Jin Yu stood stunned, his mind racing.
According to his performance, he is not close to Xia Guo. Otherwise, Xia Guo would not have locked him up until now.
Why did Xia Guo give the glass business to the Jin family?
"How did you guys do it? Can you tell me quickly?"
Jin Yu's serious words made Jin Zuoming and Jin Youming a little scared.
They didn't dare to be negligent, so they hurriedly poured the beans into the bamboo tube and told them all.
When he learned that his two sons had earned tens of thousands of taels of silver from their glass business in just six months, Jin Yu, who was used to seeing big storms, couldn't help but feel frightened.
How could he not understand that with such a huge interest, it might not be that simple.
Moreover, the Jin family has obviously been completely trapped and there is no way out.
