Chapter 601 King Xiang’s Palace

"Is that King Xiang's carriage?"

"The three carriages are exactly the same. Who knows which one it is..."

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Xiang is very powerful. Four arms and six legs, every day..."

The people on both sides of the road started talking about everything.

Zhu Jinghong was sitting in the carriage. Although he was heading to Seoul, his heart flew to the capital.

The affairs in North Korea were over, and after a few days of delay in Seoul, it was time for him to return to Beijing.

During this period, in addition to receiving normal inquiries from the emperor, Zhu Jinghong also received many letters from the queen, all of which urged him to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

If he cannot return to Beijing before the Chinese New Year, he will make his mother very angry and the future life will be very difficult.

Another point is that the hostility towards him from top to bottom in the court was only suppressed by the emperor. I don’t know how much trouble there will be in the future.

"Life is like a journey against the odds. The more troubles I encounter, it doesn't mean that I am moving forward!" Zhu Jinghong muttered in a low voice.

After taking a long breath, he slightly opened the car curtains, and what he saw immediately made him disappointed.

Even in Seoul, the capital of the country, its streets are cramped, and most of them are huts.

What kind of thinking did Li Shuo and his son think of starting a war with Ming Dynasty?

They have a powerful army? Or do you have substantial financial resources?

Zhu Jinghong thought about these issues for two months, but could not explain them rationally. He admitted that he lost to Li Shuo and his son on this point.

Hearing the constant kowtows in his ears, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but ask: "What are they shouting about?"

Yu Hai didn't know this either, so he could only Looking for someone to ask, he replied after a while: "Your Majesty, they are calling His Majesty the Emperor, Long Live His Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Xiang, Thousand Lives!"

Although a prince can be called a thousand years old at the first level, this word is generally used to address him. "Prince" doesn't mean that you can't call him that, but it always seems a little inappropriate.

Putting down the tea cup, Zhu Jinghong ordered: "Pass on my words...just shout His Majesty the Emperor, long live the emperor!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Jinghong's motorcade Not far away, there are senior North Korean officials led by Li Hui and Li Jiong. They follow them just to be at their disposal at any time.

Zhu Jinghong uttered a sentence, and these two groups were desperate to execute it, just to satisfy Zhu Jinghong.

The whole process took less than a moment, and the shouts around him changed. Only then did Zhu Jinghong feel satisfied.

Zhu Jinghong would not know that among the cheering crowd, Pu Junda, wearing washed-out cloth clothes, was looking coldly at the motorcade in the distance.

Looking at the people around him cheering to welcome the Ming army, he only felt that the life he had fought for before seemed so ridiculous and unworthy.

In this war, he not only lost many friends, but also lost his most beloved sister.God he was always in endless pain.

Originally, he wanted to carry out an assassination today, but the Ming army's protection was so tight that he couldn't even bring any weapons in, so he had no chance to do it.

This important matter could no longer be accomplished, so Pu Junda had no choice but to give up. After all, he still had parents and younger brothers to take care of at home, and he could not make unnecessary sacrifices.

So next, he just plans to return to life and not get involved in these so-called big things.

Two moments later, Zhu Jinghong’s carriage arrived outside the Seoul Palace.

What is more embarrassing is that because the palace gate is too narrow, he can only get out of the car and choose to take a sedan or walk inside.

At this time, the inside and outside of the palace were completely under martial law by Zhu Jinghong's accompanying guards, while the outer periphery and even the entire city of Seoul were firmly controlled by the Ming army.

So walking in the palace is safe.

After getting off the carriage, Zhu Jinghong waved back the carriage and walked towards the palace gate.

Besides the closest sergeant of the Dragon Guard, around him were senior generals such as Cai Chuansheng and Qi Yanze, as well as generals from various Jurchen tribes, including Ye Hemingen of the Ye He tribe.

As for Li Hui, Li Jiong and North Korean officials, they are not allowed to enter at this time.

Walking ahead with his hands behind his back, the place Zhu Jinghong passed by was now cleared, with only guards standing everywhere.

"Where are the concubines and slaves of the Korean royal family placed now?" Zhu Jinghong asked coldly.

Zhu Jinghong can guarantee that he really has no other meaning in asking this question, but everyone present thought of going elsewhere.

Just listen to Zhang Baodong, the commander of the Beijing camp, reply: "Your Majesty, those concubines are detained in the northwest corner of the palace. If the prince wants to summon them, I will sneak in immediately and bring them!"

"I just asked casually, what are you talking about!" Zhu Jinghong said dissatisfied.

Zhang Baodong had no choice but to retreat in embarrassment, and Zhu Jinghong continued to walk forward, chatting with the generals present while walking.

The commanders of the various Jurchen tribes were the most enthusiastic people to talk to. This time they had plundered a lot of good things in North Korea, and each one of them could be said to be extremely rich.

After a brief visit to the North Korean Palace, Zhu Jinghong entered the Qinzheng Hall, where North Korea went to court.

As a conqueror, Zhu Jinghong naturally wanted to convene a court meeting, and as a dignified prince, he also had the qualifications.

The North Korean civil and military ministers who were restricted outside the palace had already prepared to attend the court meeting, so when the guards allowed them to enter, these people sneaked in very quickly.

The funniest thing is Li Jiong and Li Hui’s uncle and nephew. In order to arrive first and be the first to talk to Zhu Jinghong, these two competed in a race in front of everyone. They really didn’t even have the dignity to do so. .

But when everyone arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, they discovered that Zhu Jinghong had not arrived at all, and only the Ming army and Jurchen generals were chatting in the corridor.

Smart people are always good at seizing opportunities, so Li Jiong and Li Hui and his son blended in and worked with this team.Some generals started chatting.

After everyone chatted for a while, the topic shifted to women, and Ye Heming laughed loudly: "You Korean women are much more interesting than the women of my tribe, especially..."

p>

Although Li Jiong and Li Hui were already shameless, their expressions still turned ugly when they heard Ye Hemingen insulting his countrymen.

It’s a pity that conscience cannot be eaten, so after a brief moment of anger, Li Jiong laughed first and echoed: "The general is right. My Korean women are soft and gentle, especially when serving men." In fact, it's even more..."

Li Jiong spoke very clearly. After all, he can definitely be said to be a professional when it comes to eating, drinking and having fun.

At this point, Li Hui's shortcomings were exposed, and at the same time, he hated himself even more for being thin-skinned.

In the end, Li Jiong had a great conversation with the generals and promised to give each of them several beauties.

However, there were not only Ming generals at the scene, but also a large number of North Korean civil and military officials. Li Jiong's behavior disgusted many people.

Of course, if Li Jiong can walk outside the Qinzheng Palace at this time, he naturally has a group of followers.

These people are speculators, so as long as what Li Jiong does is beneficial, they will support it no matter how high it is.

At this moment, a eunuch walked out of the Qinzheng Hall and shouted with a serious look: "Everyone, please come into the hall to discuss matters!"

No one dared to hesitate, led by the Ming army general Walking in front, followed by the Jurchens, and then the Koreans.

After entering the palace, everyone lined up on the left and right sides of the palace according to the most basic order of rank.

At this time, the throne was still empty, with only eunuchs and guards standing on the left and right.

In such a formal occasion, not to mention the North Korean civil and military officials, even the most rebellious Jurchen generals were particularly responsible at this moment, and they all stood upright in place.

This scene deeply touched North Korean officials because the Qinzheng Palace had not been so quiet for a long time.

The quieter it is, the more obvious the sound is, such as the footsteps coming at this time.

After a few breaths, surrounded by eunuchs and maids, Zhu Jinghong changed his robe and climbed the steps to the throne.

"In the 13th year of Zhengtong, in October Jiayin, King Xiang of Ming Dynasty, Yu Qinzheng Hall..."

North Korean historians began to record the situation of the court meeting, and the civil and military officials present Officials have already begun to pay homage.

Zhu Jinghong was wearing a robe with a round collar and a black gauze winged crown. He looked at everything in front of him with a calm expression.

But in fact, he was peaceful, but his heart was already stirred up, just because it was the first time for him to be worshiped by so many civil and military officials on a formal occasion.

The pleasure of controlling everything and the detachment of overlooking everything made him enjoy it very much.

"No courtesy!" Zhu Jinghong said slowly.

After everyone stood up, Zhu Jinghong said: "Your Majesty has a will!"

So everyone had to kneel down and sit on the throne.Zhu Jinghong stood up and took the imperial edict from Yu Hai.

After everyone paid homage, Zhu Jinghong recited loudly: "The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and he is said to be..."

"Since Taizu expelled the Tartars and settled the country, the emperors of all dynasties have shown many good looks. In North Korea..."

The edict began by talking about how good the Ming Dynasty was to North Korea, then accused North Korea of ​​being unfaithful and unfilial, and finally criticized North Korea in the harshest terms.

At the end of the edict, it was stated that Li Shuo and his son would be escorted to the capital for questioning. The state affairs of North Korea were temporarily handled by Gao Zhiwen, the Minister of War.

Yes, Gao Zhiwen, the Minister of War, was recommended by Zhu Jinghong and was given the title of Korean Observer.

In addition, the imperial edict also clearly stated that officials who participated in the rebellion would be severely punished. Gao Zhiwen was solely responsible for this matter.

After hearing this last item, most of North Korea's civil and military officials became panicked, because they were more or less involved.

In fact, the reason why Zhu Xianming added this article to the imperial edict was to "eliminate dissidents" and he wanted to restructure the upper class of North Korea.

It is foreseeable that many wealthy Korean families will be capsized in this storm, and some of them are in the court.

After reciting the imperial edict, Zhu Jinghong felt a little thirsty. After handing the imperial edict to Yu Hai, he sat back down.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Jinghong sat back again, and then said: "Everyone, the imperial edict has made it very clear that guilty people must be severely punished and no one will be tolerated..."

p>

This was just to establish his authority, so Zhu Jinghong said many harsh words, which also made the court look murderous.

After teaching the North Korean civil and military officials a lesson, it was time to end the discussion.

"That's all I have to say, you can take care of yourself..."

After saying this, Zhu Jinghong was about to stand up and leave, but at this time Chen Taimin stood up and paid homage: "Your Highness... ...I have something to report!”

At this time, North Korean officials had no time to hide, and only Chen Taimin, who was upright and not afraid of shadows, dared to show off on this occasion.

Although Zhu Jinghong was surprised, he still stopped and asked: "Say!" Water and fire..."

"I heard that the Holy One is lenient and loves the people, and His Highness is kind and cheerful. Today, the people of Korea..."

One is lenient and loves the people, the other is kind and cheerful, used to describe his father and son. , which made Zhu Jinghong feel very awkward.

After laying a lot of groundwork, Chen Taimin finally made his intention clear: "I would also like to ask Your Highness to restrain all the ministries and eliminate war, so that the people everywhere can return to peace. All people in Korea must be grateful to Your Highness for your benevolence and the grace of the Holy One." !”

Since the war began, the people who have suffered the most are not only being ordered to transport food to defend the city, but also being robbed and killed by various Jurchen tribes.

Nearly half of North Korea’s territory has been in chaos due to the raging war.It has become a pot of porridge, and it is even impossible to establish effective rule.

To repay taxes and reward the Ming army for the expedition, production needs to be resumed as soon as possible.

"Chen Qing...no wonder you are praised by the ancestors and the saints. There are not many good officials like you who care about the people wholeheartedly!"

This It was Zhu Jinghong who was promoting Chen Taimin. This kind of official who was close to the Ming Dynasty naturally needed special care.

Zhu Jinghong had already considered the matter of stopping the war, and originally planned to convene the generals for discussion after coming down.

Since Chen Taimin brought it up at this time, he thought of taking this opportunity to make a decision.

Signing Chen Taimin to return to the train, Zhu Jinghong walked down the steps and came to the center of the hall.

"The imperial army came to suppress the rebellion. Now that the rebellion has been put down, it is time to eliminate the war and enjoy peace!"

At this point, Zhu Jinghong turned to the generals and ordered : "I am ordering all the imperial ministries and Jurchen tribes to stop attacking. They must restrain their subordinates to strictly abide by military discipline. They must not engage in any more prohibited acts such as robbery, adultery, etc. Violators... shall be severely punished without mercy!"

"Ministers and others Take the order!" all the generals replied.

The Jurchen generals headed by Ye Hemingen also made assurances at this time that their harvest from this trip was sufficient.

"If nothing happens...you can all do your own thing!"

Just as Zhu Jinghong was about to leave, Chen Taimin stood up again, saluted and asked: "Your Highness, the country cannot survive for a day. There is no king, and now the throne is vacant..."

"The throne belongs to the emperor!" Zhu Jinghong replied.

It is certainly the right thing for the emperor to decide this matter, so Chen Taimin had nothing to say.

After he retreats, the court meeting will be over.

Next, Zhu Jinghong had to convene the generals to discuss matters, and then he had to meet with senior North Korean officials. At least the afternoon was full.

Li Hui was also summoned. Because he and Zhu Jinghong had known each other for a long time, he said two more sentences than Li Jiong, which could barely be said to be a win.

After being summoned, Li Hui became busy again. He wanted to arrange the reception banquet tonight.

Whether it is the dishes or the performances, he needs to pay careful attention to them in order to achieve perfection to the greatest extent so that Zhu Jinghong can have a great time.

Things are complicated and tiring, but Li Hui enjoys it. After all, this is his home field advantage.

Time passed quickly, and when night gradually fell, in the small square outside the Qinzheng Hall, the beauties and musicians for the banquet were all in place.

Li Hui had been collecting these women a few days ago, and many of them were concubines from official families.

In order to avoid being liquidated, giving up a concubine is a very cost-effective deal for an official.

Since dancers want to dance, they must not wear too much, so under the cold wind, these girls are shivering from the cold.

Even if there is a brazier in the house, they stillIt was so cold that my teeth chattered.

"It's all good. Let's dance well and dance well...if anyone makes a mistake, there will be no good fruits!"

"Yes!"

While everyone was answering, a little girl in the crowd was looking up at the sky. Her name was Park Jin Young.
