Chapter 584 We are all His Majesty’s ministers

On the third day of September, after ten days of traveling, Li Xuan finally returned to Seoul.

A large number of officials came to greet him, and they were all eager to know the outcome of this diplomatic mission.

That’s right, North Korean officials were not notified of Li Xuan’s mission this time. The father and son communicated through secret reports.

"My lord, the Ming Dynasty's army was mobilized, and its troops were directed at North Korea. What's going on?"

"My lord, could it be because of our restructuring?"

The officials were talking in a hurry, and each one of them looked frightened. Most of these people were yes-men, trying to get the upper hand. Chosen to support Li Xuan's restructuring.

"When the soldiers arrive tomorrow, we will be dead"

"Your Majesty, if you want to advise His Highness, you must"

What are you doing, big brother? I actually changed my mind, which made Li Hui very disappointed.

After entering the capital, Li Xuan rushed straight to the palace. On the way, he looked at the houses on both sides of the street. He unconsciously compared them with the prosperity in Jinzhou City, and consciously thought that Seoul was similar to the countryside.

"Yes"

After shouting twice, the scene became quiet, and everyone looked at Li Xuan anxiously.

Although he already knew the result, Li Shuo wanted to know the details.

"Let them in" Li Shuo replied calmly.

Everyone laughed, and then a ceremony officer presided over the ceremony and welcomed Li Xuan into the south gate of Seoul.

At this time, Li Shuo said, "Your Majesty, don't let others' ambitions destroy your own prestige."

"Tell me about this mission in detail," Li Shuo said in a deep voice.

"These are gifts given to me by His Highness King Xiang. I have brought you stability and peace, so you can all sit back and relax."

All the way into the palace, Li Xuan He immediately rushed to Kangning Palace to meet his father.

After a few breaths, the two Li Xuan brothers entered the palace, and then, in accordance with the etiquette stipulated in the Ming Dynasty ceremony, they paid a grand tribute to their own father.

Before Li Xuan finished speaking, Li Shuo looked at Li Hui and asked, "Fourth, do you think this is the case?"

"I wanted to come to greet my brother, but My father is not feeling well, so my younger brother came to the palace to say hello and ask for forgiveness."

Although he wanted to break away from the Ming Dynasty and wanted to expel the Ming Dynasty from Han Dynasty, in this official audience, he still Wearing the four-piece dragon robe given by the Ming Dynasty, he looked somewhat ridiculous from the front and back.

At Kangning Hall, King Li Shuo of North Korea had already taken his seat in the main hall.

"Brother, you are finally back."

"Now that you are relieved, it is time to go on duty to welcome you," Li Xuan said with a smile.

In the end, he couldn't hold it any longer, so he walked out of the sedan, and then a group of officials surrounded him.

"Let's go"

"Father, this is notWhose ambition is that?"

After Li Hui saluted and thanked him, he then said, "Brother has returned from a mission. Don't keep your father waiting. Let's enter the palace as soon as possible."

"Fourth brother, you just met your father."

"You. How can I blame you for coming to serve your father?”

Li Hui also wanted to know, so he also pricked up his ears to listen.

Everyone was talking about it. , which made the welcoming ceremony very chaotic and made Li Xuan very anxious.

As soon as they heard this, everyone present was relieved, and they all praised Li Xuan for his virtue and wisdom. At this moment, they all. He was sincerely grateful.

Li Shuo's move was actually a warning to Li Xuan that he was not the only son.

In Li Hui's view, the crown prince Li Xuan had offended the Ming Dynasty. , it will be a matter of time before he is deposed, so he is preparing to take over as the crown prince.

His health is indeed not good, but he has not yet reached the point of confusion, and the real power in North Korea is still firmly in his hands. /p>

There is only one theme in the words: Ming Dynasty is strong and North Korea is weak, so it is better not to bother and live an honest life.

Li Xuan became Ming Dynasty's licking dog, so Li Hui has to do it. Step aside, after all, being a dog licker has to be based on seniority. Obviously, his qualifications are not as good as those of the crown prince Li Xuan.

"Everyone"

The so-called Mingchuan Lord is Li Hui's title. .

In fact, there is no need for Cui Xiuqing to remind him. Li Hui also has his own Xiao Jiujiu. I also learned how to set up a character. During this period, while Li Xuan was away, he went to the palace to show his filial piety in front of his father.

"Your Highness, the prince and Lord Mingchuan are outside asking for an audience."

In fact, Li Xuan wanted to see the report alone, but when he thought that the content of the report was upright, he gave up the idea of ​​sending Li Hui away.

So. Li Xuan told the truth about his trip to Liaodong.

Li Xuan understood it, so he remained silent.

Compared to Li Xuan, Li Hui was there. He was a little ignorant in politics and did not understand the meaning at the moment.

But he was also cunning and immediately replied, "I listen to my father, and what he says will be whatever he says."

Li Shuo smiled, then ignored Li Hui, and continued, "A few days ago, the Rakshasa envoy Victor and the Japanese envoy Ito came to pay their respects and talked a lot with their father."

When he heard this, Li Xuan knew that the situation was not simple, so he did not interrupt at will. He wanted to listen first before speaking.

"At the moment, Daming is leaking from all sides like a broken house, so it is a good idea to overthrow him. Timing"

"Annan is unstable, there is a war in the northwest, and the Ming Dynasty has no time to take care of itself. This is a good time for us to take control of the country and take advantage of the opportunity to rise."

Li Shuo said sincerely, he I really want to convince my son to let himHe went on with his own heart.

Li Shuo, if he doesn’t want to be held hostage by the scholar-bureaucrats or the royal power usurped, he must decouple from the Ming Dynasty.

It was also at this time that Li Hui learned that North Korea's restructuring was actually driven by his father behind the scenes. He always thought it was Li Xuan's intention.

The situation became like this, which made Li Hui very entangled for a while. At this time, he was really not sure what his attitude should be towards this.

"Once my father breaks the agreement and the Ming Dynasty is angry and sends troops to attack, how to resist"

"The Rakshasa Kingdom and Japan can help us" Li Xuan said the key question.

"The Rakshasa Congress will increase its troops in the northwest to contain it, and Japan will send troops to assist in defense."

The first half of the sentence was complete nonsense, so Li Xuan ignored it, and then he asked, " How many reinforcements can the Japanese send?"

"Tens of thousands of elite soldiers," Li Shuo replied.

Does Japan have elite soldiers compared to the Ming Dynasty? Li Xuan expressed doubts.

"Father, you should be careful about this matter," Li Xuan reminded seriously.

“You think I’m crazy”

“My son feels that his father underestimated Ming’s strength”

“I think you overestimated Ming’s strength. strength"

"I have made up my mind, the restructuring and other matters will continue as before, and the training of the name and the Zhengyin will be officially issued."

It has been several months since the training of the name and the Zhengyin was completed, and Li Shuo chose this time. issued, its intention to challenge the Ming Dynasty is no longer clear.

"Father, you have to think twice," Li Xuan advised anxiously.

The palace was silent for a while, and after a while, Li Shuo finally spoke, "Your Majesty, if you are afraid, just go back to your home and study in Haosheng. You don't need to pay attention to government affairs anymore."

With these words, It shows Li Shuo's firm will, and he will insist on his own way even if Li Xuan is abolished.

Agreing with his father’s opinion is a dead end, but opposing it is even worse. Li Xuan knew that he had no choice.

"The son is willing to obey the instructions of his father"

Li Shuo smiled and then said, "Since the five dynasties will meet at the beginning, you will officially issue the decree"

"Yes" Li Xuan replied solemnly.

Since he could not persuade his father and he was on the road of no return, Li Xuan felt that it was necessary to do his best to take this road longer.

So he replied, "Since my father wants to act like this, our court must make preparations in advance to deal with unexpected events."

"I have made arrangements for this matter. In order to mobilize troops from the Ming Dynasty, I have transferred the southern army to various northern roads, and have sufficient supplies and weapons." Following this line of thinking, the father and son continued to discuss, and it took a while for them to realize Here, there is this guy Li Hui waiting to listen.

After all, this is North Korea's top secret. Even his own son Li Shuo couldn't believe it, so he asked Li Hui to retreat quickly.

Of course Li Hui didn’t want to leave, but he didn’t dare to disobey his father’s wishes.

After leaving Kangning Hall, Li Hui thought that his father and brother had gone crazy when he recalled the "content of the conversation" he had just heard.

Who is it?The confidence given to them made them think that Ming Dynasty was weak. Li Hui couldn't help but ask himself.

"Do they know the 12th Battalion of the Beijing Army? Have they seen the 22nd Guards of the pro-army army? Do they know how strong these troops are?" Li Hui roared in his heart.

He had been on a mission to the Ming Dynasty and knew how powerful these armies were, so he could clearly judge that the father and brother would lead North Korea into the abyss.

"They insist on going their own way, and the Li family will only die." Li Hui thought.

Sighing, Li Hui felt that he was a low-key person and had no way to intervene in this matter, so he was already thinking about how to avoid disaster.

“Based on my friendship with Master Thirteen, if I want to develop it, he will save my life.”

“I might as well give him all the gold mined in the past few months. "

With these things in mind, Li Hui walked out of the palace and went to his house as quickly as possible.

Seeing his frown, Cui Xiuqing asked about the situation, and Li Hui told him everything.

"Oh, it's such a big disaster, we have to find a way to escape with our lives."

After Li Hui finished speaking, Cui Xiuqing said, "I don't think this is a big disaster, but This is your chance to soar into the sky."

"Opportunity"

"At this time, if you give the real information to King Xiang, it will be a great achievement for the imperial court to suppress the rebellion."< /p>

Hearing this, Li Hui was surprised and said, "You want me to betray North Korea and betray my father and brother."

Cui Xiuqing sneered, "It was your father and brother who betrayed the court and North Korea."

This makes sense. Li Hui calmed down a little, but he still said, "That's my biological father and biological brother."

Cui Xiuqing asked calmly, "Compared to surviving, what is the difference?" "Which is more important than the throne of North Korea?"

"I have to think about this carefully"

Knowing that Li Hui needed time to accept it, Cui Xiuqing did not force him, but just told him to make a decision as soon as possible. .

On the fifth day of September, this is the third day after Li Xuan returned to Seoul. Today is the day of the North Korean DPRK meeting.

News has spread that a major announcement will be made today. This made everyone in North Korea's civil and military affairs curious, so they arrived outside Qinzheng Hall early.

When the time came, under the guidance of the etiquette officer, the civil and military officials lined up in front of Danbi, waiting for the official start of the dynastic meeting.

Everyone didn't stand for a while when they heard the sound of music playing, and then saw the crown prince Li Xuan coming to the throne to preside over the court meeting as usual.

Li Xuan's position was in front of the throne. After he sat down, everyone paid homage to him, and then Li Xuan called everyone to his feet according to the system.

Because what he had to do today was so important, Li Xuan didn't waste much time and directly asked the eunuch on the side to announce the "edict".

"The King's Edict"

"The ancient country of Korea has a long history, splendid culture, and extolable etiquette"

"Throughout the years, the country has prospered, the country is rich and the people are strong , Prosperity"

This "Edict", in very straightforward sentences,He praised North Korea as the best in the world, which made the officials at the scene very confused.

But in the end, there was something that made them even more confused.

"Today we promulgate the correct teachings for the people to educate all peoples and protect the foundation for eternity."

The edict is still being read, because in addition to the correct teachings for the names, some rituals also need to be changed. This can make officials furious.

On the one hand, everyone learns Chinese to write Chinese characters and uses Chinese rituals. Changing them at will will not only affect their lives, but also shake the foundation of their rule.

Yes, it is the basis of rule. In today's North Korea, scholar-bureaucrats share the same world with the royal family. This is all due to their platform of teachings from saints.

On the other hand, changing the system and writing will definitely lead to a crusade from the Ming Dynasty, which will completely eliminate everyone's way of survival.

Even the officials who had previously supported the restructuring were intimidated by the time it was implemented with real swords and guns, so they followed other officials to come forward to dissuade them.

At this moment, no one needed to organize. Most officials had reached a consensus and clearly expressed their opposition to this "random fate."

Fortunately, the general at the scene did not say anything, which gave Li Xuan a lot of confidence and secretly praised his father for his strong control over the army.

"Stand back, do you want to rebel?" Li Xuan shouted loudly.

Since he couldn't persuade his biological father, he had no choice but to join in this huge gamble, so now his attitude is very firm.

"All stand down"

Li Xuan's scolding had no effect. Not only did the officials not stand down, but more people joined in.

"My Majesty, this is a rebellious minister and it is difficult to obey the imperial edict."

This person is very familiar to Li Xuan. He is a close confidant he promoted and has participated in training the people before. The revisionist of Zhengyin is now serving in Si Jian Yuan.

The reason this person stood up to oppose was actually very simple, because his hometown was on Pingan Road, directly bordering the Ming Dynasty and Liaodong.

In other words, as soon as the Ming army arrives, his hometown is likely to be reduced to rubble, and his family's foundation will also be destroyed.

"Your Majesty, please advise Your Highness to take back this edict."

"Your Majesty, these chaotic orders are a sign of contempt for the imperial court, and contempt for His Majesty the Emperor will result in divine punishment."

Before the edict was promulgated, Li Shuo knew that there would be opposition, so he had been listening quietly in the side hall, ready to intervene at any time to stabilize the situation.

There were many words of advice at the scene, but the last sentence stung his heart, so he decided to formally come forward.

As the drum music sounded, the officials at the scene became quiet, and then everyone looked to the east, where Li Shuo appeared surrounded by eunuchs and guards.

This was the first time in the past five years that Li Shuo appeared at a court meeting, and all the officials present were deeply surprised.

At this time, a large number of people still felt that today's incident had nothing to do with Li Shuo and was entirely caused by Li Xuan alone.

So the officials on the scene were looking forward to Li Shuo coming on the scene to bring order to the chaos and clarify Yu Yu.

However, when Li Shuo ascended the throne,After asking the first sentence, the officials on site were dumbfounded.

"One mouth for the imperial court, one mouth for His Majesty. Are you ministers of North Korea or ministers of the imperial court?"

The next moment, Chen Taimin, who had never spoken a word, came out of the office, in full view of everyone. He said righteously, "Your Highness, we are all His Majesty's ministers."
