During this period, those who felt most unlucky were Yuanlao Yin and Li.
They who lived in Datong Pavilion learned that the refugee team came to Beijing to petition, so they naturally went there.
Yin Yuanlao stopped talking. After he showed up and heard about his identity, he let the people of the Ming Dynasty enjoy a warm welcome in a foreign language. I couldn't understand it, but judging from the scene at that time, those North Korean refugees should have been scolding each other very much.
Ugly.
Li was also very surprised.
Yin Yuanlao just couldn't sit idly by and took care of things, and he was just in case. He was no longer in North Korea when the incident happened. If he could speak wisely and win some support now, maybe it would be an opportunity.
This is based on his loyalty to Li after he figured out the situation. With the chaos inside North Korea, Ming's dissatisfaction with North Korea has become very clear. Now just sitting and watching the changes, I am afraid that Yin Ren, Yin Yuanheng and others will
Let's fight to the death first and then talk about it.
In Yuanlao Yin's view, the attitude expressed by the Ming Dynasty so far is only: the situation in Korea is not yet clear, so don't care.
After all, his level is still a little low. He knew about the refugee petition, but he still didn't think clearly. If he can rely on the existence value of restraining the original Xiao Yin forces to be loyal to Li, and work with Li to meet the Ming Dynasty's next expedition to eradicate the Japanese invasion,
That can turn crisis into opportunity.
But outside the east gate of the Ming Dynasty's capital, he heard with his own ears that those refugees were scolding Li Yi and the entire royal family.
The scolding was really unpleasant.
A new petition has been added: Kill the national traitors! From the royal lord to the traitorous ministers, they are all national traitors who have caused them to end up in this situation!
Now both of them completely understood: Maybe the Joseon Dynasty ended here.
Li was exposed to Zhu Houcong's thoughts that day, and now his whole body is getting colder and colder.
Everyone has old thinking.
For so many years, although it is an indisputable fact that the Ming Dynasty had a hero on the throne. But in addition to the world enemy of the Meng Yuan Khan Court, the Ming Dynasty only destroyed the territory of Meng Ding and returned to the old areas of the three Ming Dynasties in North Jiaozhi.
.
North Korea has been respectful from generation to generation and has been established in an orderly manner for a long time. How can it be the same?
He was still dreaming about the sudden change of the situation and the dream that there would be no chance. At that time, he withdrew the comment that he was "unfaithful and unfilial".
Now recalling his "appreciation" when he first met the Ming Emperor, Li only felt shuddering.
Did you start plotting against North Korea from that time?
But in so many years, Ming Dynasty really did not treat North Korea badly.
Internal affairs are ignored and border trade continues...
Now Li wants to understand: in front of the unsatisfactory North Korean monarchs and ministers, whether it is to allow them to fight in peace, the continuous border trade will bring more benefits that can be fought for!
He is also one of the chess pieces.
He brought back the model of the Ming Dynasty's Huangming Asset Bureau, so that his mediocre father thought it could be used to balance all parties. However, under the shackles of his identity as the second son, it eventually turned into a battle.
new battlefield.
Not only Jiuliancheng in the north, but also Mashima Island in the south, which is the only window for reselling from Japan. The Xiaoyin brothers who have the upper hand have greatly increased their fortunes, so they dare to be so treacherous and deceived, right?
"...Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Now that he has "knelt down" and "loyed" to him, Elder Yin is still showing off.
Li didn't answer, looking equally at a loss.
But he knew that Elder Yin was probably dead.
And what about his future?
Li was very smart when he was young, and he knew that the Ming Emperor might be waiting for him now.
There must be disasters coming from Ryukyu, right? Shang Yuan, the real crown prince, begged, and his sister begged in blood, but the Ming Dynasty still dragged on.
Is it that the character of the petition is not important enough, or that the content of the petition is not in line with the Ming Emperor's wishes?
On the occasion of the New Year, go and pay New Year greetings.
Now, he is still the son of the Korean leader who was canonized by the Ming Dynasty. In this capacity, he wants to pay New Year's greetings to the Ming Emperor.
In the Xinuan Pavilion of the Palace of Qianqing, Li knelt down with great reverence and said in a very sad voice: "The guilty minister is paying homage to His Majesty on behalf of his deceased father. May Your Majesty live long! Long live! Long live!"
“You’re celebrating the New Year, what’s your crime?”
Li was still kneeling, but straightened up and wiped his tears: "I was shocked to hear that the people of my country came to Beijing to petition, and the guilty minister went to visit, only to find out that the people of the clan had been separated for many years. The Jurchen invaded the border, and the Japanese bandits invaded the country, and the outsiders could not defend the territory; Quan The dynasty was full of traitors, the government was in ruins, and the people could not be at peace in the country. Even though the offending minister was a mere son of the king, he was ashamed and unbearable. When faced with such a disaster, the offending minister did have selfish motives at the time. Your Majesty said that the offending minister was unfaithful and unfilial. This is also the crime of the guilty minister! "
Zhu Houcong's eyes narrowed, and after staring at him for a long time, he let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect that the people of North Korea were so miserable. There is no reason why North Korea is what it is today. The monarchs and ministers of North Korea cannot protect the land and peacefully live the people, and they deserve a sentence of guilt in history. Comments from the people.”
Li lowered his head again: "This is the second time that the guilty minister has celebrated the Zhengdan Festival in the Ming Dynasty. In the past ten years, the people of the Ming Dynasty have become more prosperous and healthy. But in the past, His Majesty ordered someone to teach the guilty minister about border trade, but the guilty minister was limited by his identity. In the critical situation of the conflict between the crown princes of Korea, I have been unable to make any contribution to the Korean people for many years. Every time I think about this, I only regret that I am a descendant of the royal family. If I were born among the people, I might still be able to make a difference and live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
Zhu Houcong looked at him, and after being silent for a while, he said: "Come and wish me a happy new year. You might as well say what else you want to say clearly."
This guy always emphasized his status as the concubine of the king, and pointed out that the Korean royal family had left the country earlier than the common people. Furthermore, he said that being born among the people might make a difference. Zhu Houcong probably guessed what he wanted to say.
Can one's origin be changed? Unless the Korean royal family ceases to exist.
Of course he doesn't want to die, but...he still has to say it himself.
Li gritted his teeth, knelt down three times and kowtowed and made a grand salute, and then said decisively: "Nowadays, traitors are running rampant in Korea, relatives are monopolizing power, honoring the old is incompetent, and the military generals are divided. Although the prince is still here, the guilty officials always know my brother's character. Although he is smart and kind-hearted, he is really lacking in strategy and courage. At this time, even if Yin Ren can be used to turn the tide, he will be charged with killing his mother and brother, and he will still be a powerful and traitorous person. There will never be peace in Korea. , then why do the people deserve it?”
Zhu Houcong laughed in his heart, but his face was very solemn: "I have admired you since the past, and you are right. Your analysis is indeed very reasonable."
In fact, Li is not much younger than Zhu Houcong, and he is now thirty-two years old.
Now that the Crown Prince of Joseon is bound to his biological uncle Yin Im, and Queen Munding's biological son is the legitimate second son, relying on another close uncle Yin Yuanheng to commit regicide, there is no room for either side.
Needless to say, Queen Munding was successful. Her youngest son succeeded to the throne, listened to the government behind the curtain, and her uncle acted as regent. She also had to bear the pressure of killing the lord and Yi Chu to stabilize North Korea. How easy was it?
If Yin Ren succeeds, the pressure in this area will be much less. After all, his nephew has been the prince for many years. But can it leave a legacy of trouble? This prince was raised under the name of Queen Wending shortly after his birth.
Even though he is not his biological mother, his younger brother is his biological brother, right?
Similarly, Brother Xiao Yin has been in power for many years. After the general purge, how could Prince Wang not rely on Yin Ren? The newcomers promoted by Yin Ren will naturally further consolidate his position.
No matter what, if in the past it was just a struggle for power in the North Korean court, if there are no accidents in the next few years, the government and the opposition will definitely be in chaos for a generation.
Didn't Li say that his younger brother lacks strategy and courage? Intelligence and lack of strategy are very contradictory. Kindness is not easy to say, but together it looks like cowardice.
"Even if my brother is lucky enough to survive, it will be difficult to solve this situation. Xiao Yin's sister and brother killed their master and conspired to rebel, and the guilty minister is a human son. How can they be reconciled? Even though Elder Yin was sent to the country as an envoy, he has been working with his sister and brother for many years.
Controlling the royal government is really the enemy of the sinners! The current crisis in Korea, the sinners believe that it is because the people have lost heart over the years and the king's fortunes are declining. The sinners brothers have nothing to ask for, but hope that your majesty will send troops to suppress the rebellion so that the sinners brothers can be saved.
Li had a serious look on his face: "How can I be shameless and still consider myself an ancestral temple when I have been entrusted by His Majesty and left the people in trouble? Please kill Yuan Yuan first. The guilty officials will urge my brother to present the land and land list and be willing to serve as a minister of the Ming Dynasty.
Greedy for power and position, luckily stabilized the internal affairs and established diplomatic relations with the country above, it would be better for your majesty to quell the civil strife as soon as possible. It will not mess up the plan of conquering the Japanese, and it will also be a blessing to all the people of Korea. The culture and education of the country are prosperous, and the dynasty is filled with virtuous ministers. Korea was originally the old land of China.
For many years, I have been proud of being a small China. With the current situation, isn’t it a blessing for me to be a citizen of the Ming Dynasty?”
He had always called himself a sinner, but in the end, he finally dropped the word sin.
