Cheng Jun sent someone to pass the news back to Hanyang City.
Yin Bishang, the minister of political affairs, and Liu Ziguang, Li's favorite, went into the palace to meet Li. Li Kedun was not there at the time, so Yin Bishang explained the reason why Tang Yin and Pu Yuanzong were missing.
"If the Ming Dynasty envoys enter Hanyang City and state the fault of the country's leader in front of others, the world will discuss the legitimacy of the country's leader's position, and then only give Xiao Xiao a small chance. There are still people in the court who want to control the country. Those who set up traitors, they keep their eyes on the opportunity and spread rumors that are not good for you, the leader of the country, and all kinds of attacks have never stopped."
Yin Bishang was also thinking about Li.
No matter what your attitude is towards the Shilin sect, you are also the orthodox eldest son of North Korea, and you are the head of a country recognized by Confucianism.
As your subject, you must consider the legitimacy of your rule.
Liu Ziguang was more cunning. He said, "Without the Ming Dynasty's envoys, there will be less criticism of the country's leader from outsiders."
Yin Bi said, "And the Ming Dynasty will fight with a thousand soldiers." Horses entering the city and carrying firearms will pose a threat to the stability of the capital."
"Needless to say," Li raised his hand, "It's not enough to change anything. Before entering the city, people were sent to receive these troops. As for the two hundred people accompanying Ming Dynasty, they were not allowed to enter the city. Defensive.
If those 1,200 soldiers and horses were allowed to enter the city, it would cause a lot of trouble. This was also the reason why he proposed not to see Tang Yin.
Yin Bishang saw that he could not change the opinion of the stubborn leader, so he asked, "Should there be a public trial for Park Yuanzong?"
Liu Ziguang asked, "Prime Minister Yin, you Do you want the leader of the country to break his promise to the suzerain country, the Ming Dynasty? He has agreed not to interrogate, but to go through the process. When the Ming Dynasty envoy leaves, just let Pu Yuanzong go with him."
Yin Bishang said, "If this person. Returning to Ping'an Road, contacting the troops, and rebelling against North Korea will probably be a disaster. Even if they cannot be executed publicly, they should be poisoned secretly or allowed to commit suicide."
Li glared at Yin Bishangdao. "It seems that you have a personal hatred for Park Yuanzong."
"That's not the intention." Yin Bishang quickly explained.
Li Dao: "There is no need to say more. This battle is because you people proposed to perfunctory the Ming Dynasty during the court meeting, so that you only sent five thousand soldiers and horses and failed to complete the Ming Dynasty's entrustment. Only then will the envoy from the Ming Dynasty come to question us. The tribute we pay this year should be increased, our attitude towards the envoy from the Ming Dynasty should be softened, so that he can go back and pay homage to us, and we can also resolve the resentment of the Ming Emperor and Duke Lai towards us. If this is not possible. , You really just want to see the isolated people rebel against each other."
Yin Bishang knelt down and kowtowed, "I am devoted to North Korea, and I mean no offense."
"Okay. The matter of welcoming the Ming envoy will still be left to you, and I will ask Liu Ziguang to go with you." After Li finished speaking, seeing Yin Bishang's objection, he said coldly, "Liu Ziguang. You are a better person than you, and you know how to arrange the envoys of the Ming Dynasty., will give better treatment. Unlike you Shilin people, who only think about how to reflect North Korea's majesty in the reception, and never think about flattery and flattery. "
The implication.
Liu Ziguang is better at "making things happen". He can provide Tang Yin with any beauties, delicacies, gold, silver, and jewelry.
Tang Yin was satisfied with everything, so when Tang Yin came to question him, his attitude softened a lot and he could easily deal with Zhang Zhou and the Ming Emperor.
Including Li, Yin Bishang and others, North Korea The emperor and his ministers had not considered that the combination of Tang Yin and Pu Yuanzong might pose a threat to the royal power of Korea.
But as Zhang Zhou agreed to let Tang Yin leave four thousand soldiers and horses, he only allowed him to take them with him. Twelve hundred people went to Hanyang City, and everything seemed non-threatening. Even Yin Bishang, a mature and cautious veteran of the Shilin faction who was wary of the Ming Dynasty, felt that the Ming Dynasty and Pu Yuanzong should not be able to cause trouble.
On April 26th, the envoy team arrived at the inn in Gyeonggi Province, which was only thirty miles away from Hanyang City. If they had accelerated their march that day, they might have arrived at Hanyang City shortly after nightfall, but Tang Yin insisted on it. Stayed at the inn.
Cheng Jun met Liu Ziguang.
Liu Ziguang came on behalf of Li. After meeting Cheng Jun, he was introduced to Tang Yin.
"Envoy of the Tang Dynasty, our lord is aware of the mistakes he has made before, and specially asked me to come here to apologize and admit his mistakes. In addition to promising to provide the Ming Dynasty with 100,000 shi of food for the eradication of the slaves in Liaodong, he also promised to give 20,000 strong men. , women and children, seven thousand people to march together, and provide their own food. If border residents need to be relocated, North Korea will also assist. ”
Cheng Jun frowned after hearing Liu Ziguang’s words.
Cheng Jun was wondering whether Park Yuanzong was a “chaotic traitor” or whether Li and Liu Ziguang were the ones
p>
Treason for glory.
Tang Yin said, "Didn't you say that your envoy is Yin Bishang? Why didn't he come?"
Liu Ziguang said with a smile. He will arrange the details for welcoming the envoys into the city tomorrow, such as the ceremony. Tonight, our lord has sent twenty beauties, six hundred jars of fine wine, and one hundred and forty women to work for the army. At the same time, he has also prepared various dishes. There were two hundred loaves of gold and sixteen chests of silver. ”
The general meaning is that beauties are given to you, ordinary women are given to the Ming army, and gold, silver and jewelry are all gifts to you.
When Cheng Jun heard this, he was so anxious that he almost got into a fight with Liu Ziguang.
But because Tang Yin was around, Cheng Jun didn't have an attack.
It would be a disgrace to the country. Cheng Jun had closed his eyes, feeling that it was unnecessary for him to stay on the spot. Thinking about it, Yin Bishang made the right choice. This was a situation that he shouldn't have appeared in.
If he didn't know it. That would be great
The people from Shilin asked him again why he didn't object at that time. What should he say?
Tang Yin nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good. Leave everyone behind. you canTake my letter and go back to your king. "
Liu Ziguang asked, "Don't you need to stay here to drink with the Tang envoy?"
"No need." Tang Yin's attitude was very firm, "I will only go to the city for one day tomorrow, and I will leave back to Daming early the day after tomorrow." The war in Liaodong is not over yet, and I don’t have much time to stay in North Korea. "
"Okay, okay. ”
When Liu Ziguang heard this, Tang Yin only came to the city for a day and left after completing the questioning.
I was thinking, is this questioning? You, the Ming Dynasty, are here to blackmail our Korean monarchs and ministers. Okay
Now that you are satisfied with the amount of blackmail, you have decided to leave
It doesn’t matter whether you leave or not, my mission is completed anyway. If someone blames me for selling it later, However, I will say that it was Yin Bishang and Cheng Jun who did it. Anyway, I know that the king has plans to further eradicate them. When another disaster occurs, I will eradicate you all. The dead are the best materials to take the blame.
That night.
Inside and outside the post house
Tang Yin called Liu Gui, Pu Yuanzong and Xu Jing.
This was Tang Yin's conspiracy to overthrow North Korea. The three pillars of royal power, but Tang Yin thought this combination was strange.
Except for Pu Yuanzong, Liu Gui and Xu Jing were more like followers, and even Pu Yuanzong had experience in leading troops. , also has certain connections in North Korea, but Park Yuanzong has always been recognized as a traitor by North Koreans. It seems a bit absurd to expect Park Yuanzong to achieve great things.
"It will happen tonight. Tang Yin said, "If there is no progress before tomorrow morning, everything will come to a standstill and we will have to return to Ming Dynasty." "
Pu Yuanzong also looked very nervous and said, "Why not after entering the city?"
Tang Yin said, "The leader of North Korea will not allow us to lead troops into the city." I want you to contact the people stationed at the Joseon City Gate tonight. Don’t you know Jin Yuanguang, the judge of Seoul Prefecture, and ask him to open the city gate? "
Pu Yuanzong looked confused, "Jin Yuanguang is very close to the Yin family of the king's mother. He will not open the city gate for him, but Yin Shu Li Zidou of Seoul Prefecture and Xing Cao Councilor Cheng Xiyan has always been on good terms with me, so we can use their relationship to knock the city gate open. "
Xu Jing asked, "Wouldn't it be better for us to just use sky gunpowder to blow open the city gate?"
"Mr. Xu, don't you know that there are at least six or seven men stationed in Hanyang City? Thousands of regular troops, and nearly 10,000 people were stationed at the palace at the same time. Including some Zaoli, etc., the number was more than 20,000. If the city was attacked, more than 30,000 civilians would be recruited in a short time, and there would be more than 30,000 civilians outside the city. With soldiers and horses assisting in defense, under such circumstances, we will not be able to capture Hanyang City. "
While Park Yuanzong was explaining, he felt that taking more than a thousand people to rebel was simply risking his life.
Had it not been for the knife on his neck, he would not have wanted to follow The envoys of the Ming Dynasty joined forces.
Tang Yin asked coldly, "If I go directly to the Minister of Political Affairs, Yin Bishang, will he agree to join the rebellion?"”
“Impossible. "Pu Yuanzong said, "Although he is a scholar and has great opinions on the previous scholar disasters, he is still very loyal to the king. If you go, it will be no different than sending yourself to death. "
Xu Jingdao, "Messenger of the Ming Dynasty, Yin Bi Shang dares to kill people."
Tang Yin also became angry at this time, saying, "Shang Yin Bi is already outside the city, but he didn't go there." Go this way. If you can't win over him, then kill him directly. This is also to prevent him from recruiting troops outside the city. ”
When Pu Yuanzong heard this, Tang Yin’s thinking was very out-of-the-box.
You haven’t captured the city yet, but you are already thinking about how to prevent the royalists from counterattack
He was also thinking, if Li could be killed, would North Korea’s ministers still support Li Gang’s birth of a heir apparent who was less than three years old?
Tang Yin said, “It’s getting late now. , we must take action. You take a hundred people to contact Yin Shu Li Zidou of Seoul Prefecture, and I will take a hundred people to see Yin Bishang. "
Pu Yuanzong was shocked and said, "We still have to divide our troops."
"Of course. Tang Yin said, "We can't alert the enemy now. Whenever we make progress along the way, we will send out fireworks to remind us." If there is still no movement after midnight, Father Heng, you and Pu Yuanzong's subordinates will lead the remaining 1,000 people and detain Cheng Jun and others. If there are soldiers and horses to stop them, they will engage directly with artillery. Express your attitude to the North Korean monarchs and ministers. This will also make it easier for us to negotiate with those North Korean ministers. "
"I" Xu Jing felt Alexander instantly.
But facing Tang Yin's firm gaze, he still nodded helplessly in agreement.
Tang Yin and Pu Yuanzong , with two hundred Korean soldiers, pulling some carriages, and carrying some goods, were heading towards Hanyang City.
After hearing this, Cheng Jun hurriedly came out to stop him and asked, "Envoy Tang, what are you going to do?" "What are you doing?"
Tang Yin said, "Oh, I was about to send someone to deliver some gifts to your monarch, including three cannons and mighty gunpowder as a reward for your monarch's gift." "
"Are so many people going?" Cheng Jun was a little worried. "The queue didn't look very long, but it made Cheng Jun feel a crisis. "
Tang Yin smiled and said, "Cheng Yanshu, you don't think I have any bad intentions or that you want to go back with me"
"No, no need to"
Chengjun came here as an envoy this time, and he didn't bring many people with him, but there were probably two or three hundred people.
Of course he didn't think that two hundred Koreans could do anything, and they were few. After removing these 200 people, the number of "coalition forces" remaining in the military camp is exactly one thousand.
The troops are divided again.
The threat is getting smaller and smaller. The Ming Dynasty did not pose any threat to North Korea.
Tang Yin said, "I will go out to see this group off. Cheng Yanshu should go back and rest first. "
"Okay. ”
Cheng Jun was also drinking that night. Seeing that the situation was not threatening, he returned to the camp.
And Tang Yin followed the team of 200 people.After leaving the city, he immediately mounted his horse and called Pu Yuanzong, who was hiding in the crowd, over.
"Thirty miles, you can go back before midnight if you are successful. If not, there is no need to stay at the hotel and return quickly." Tang Yin told Pu Yuanzong before saying goodbye to Pu Yuanzong.
"Yes." Pu Yuanzong also mounted his horse, but could not move quickly. After all, they did not have many horses, and some were only carriages.
Slowly heading towards Hanyang City.
Yin Bishang left the city that day, preparing to receive the Ming envoys and also doing some defenses.
He was also surprised when he suddenly heard that Daming had given him a gift in return.
However, when he heard that artillery, gunpowder and other supplies were delivered, Yin Bishang felt that it was necessary to greet them. By the way, he asked him to take the five to six hundred soldiers out of the city, as well as a few people responsible for setting up the site. Hundreds of civilians took precautions.
"You Tang Yin"
Yin Bishang was shocked when he saw that the person who came to give gifts was Tang Yin, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty.
Tang Yin said, "Gunpowder and sky gunpowder are the magical weapons used by the Ming Dynasty to destroy cities and forts. Naturally, I have to deliver them myself."
"Then please come in"< /p>
Yin Bishang could see that it was definitely not a good thing for Tang Yin to suddenly arrive at Hanyang City.
But he was also afraid of being known to have conspired with him before Tang Yin entered the city.
Because Li Ke is a very suspicious king, and he will often kill people because of suspicion.
After entering the camp.
Yin Bishang also directly asked Ming Tang Yin why he came, "Tang Yin, you are not here to persuade me to surrender, are you?"
Tang Yin smiled and said, "Why should I persuade you to surrender? If I want to attack you, North Korea, Lai." The Duke personally leads 50,000 soldiers and horses, and he can kill you at the gate of Hanyang within ten days, believe it or not."
Although Yin Bishang didn't want to admit it, after thinking about it, he still nodded helplessly.
"So the Ming Dynasty wants to use your life in exchange for the invasion of North Korea." As the minister of political affairs, Yin Bishang's thinking was still very flexible. He immediately realized that it seemed that Zhang Zhou had never cared about Tang Yin. life and death.
Throw Tang Yin to Duobi City, and then let Tang Yin come as an envoy again, and even attempted to subvert the royal power of North Korea
Tang Yin said, "What has your foolish master done in the country?" , I don’t want to interfere, but he harmed the Ming Dynasty and secretly had connections with the Jurchens, which the Ming Dynasty cannot tolerate.”
“This is all slander,” Yin Bi said.
Tang Yin said coldly, "What good will it do to the Ming Dynasty to slander him? If Lai Guogong is unreasonable, he can just lead the troops into North Korea. Why let me, and then let Pu Yuanzong lead the troops to achieve great things?" "
"So, you'd better come." Yin Bishang felt a chill running down his spine.
Obviously Zhang Zhou and Tang Yin had agreed to leave four thousand soldiers and horses outside Gyeonggi Province, but now Tang Yin and Pu Yuanzong actually wanted to use 1,200 men to complete the subversion of the Korean monarchy
Tang Yin said, "Tonight, Pu Yuanzong has contacted the old people in the city and used my handwriting to order the officers and soldiers in the city toKaicheng, at the same time issued a proclamation to kill Li and the old party who supported him. ”
“That”
Yin Bishang immediately wanted to go out and notify his people to take precautions.
But he stopped immediately.
p>
Because he realized one thing
Unless he takes down Tang Yin now and leaves it to Li to deal with it, the chance of clearing his suspicion is not high, because Tang Yin dared to come to see him before helping Pu Yuanzong in the rebellion, which means that there may be a conspiracy between the two in advance
Given Li's suspicion, even if the rebellion fails in the future and he is not punished, it is estimated that Yin Bishang's good days have come to an end.
Li will then carry out a bloodbath against the Shilin faction.
Yin Bishang suddenly felt why Tang Yin was like this. Come to see yourself with confidence. It is precisely because North Korea has a foolish king Li who is almost unreasonable and likes to kill people. Everyone is in danger, so that even those who are loyal to North Korea cannot distinguish between right and wrong at critical moments, and even make people unable to leave. Choose a side.
Tang Yin looked leisurely and indifferent, as if he didn't care about his life at all, and said, "Thinking about it this way, it would be better to change the leader of North Korea, and the monarch and ministers can govern with one heart, rather than continuing to interact with each other as they are now. Suspicions and doubts, you can’t even distinguish right from wrong in your mind.”
Yin Bishang said, “It’s impossible for you to succeed. ”
“Haha. "Tang Yin said with a smile, "If things don't work out, Duke Lai's troops will come and kill him later. Do you think it is better for you to overthrow a foolish king tonight and elect a wise leader, or for Duke Lai to overthrow your Korea and completely annex your territory?"
Yin Bi Shang naturally knew that the former was better.
But he couldn't say that.
Tang Yin said, "Calculating the time, the troops I brought will be detained. Your soldiers are judged to be handsome and come to Hanyang City to fight. The time left for you to choose should not exceed half an hour. "
"I will never agree. "Yin Bishang also has his own principles.
Tang Yin nodded and said, "As a loyal minister of North Korea, you have fulfilled your obligations, but are you loyal to Lord Li of Yanshan or to Zuo of North Korea? It depends on your choice. "
"I want you to stand still tonight. After North Korea is captured tomorrow, you will contact the courtiers and let them accept all the changes. Afterwards, you will be neither the hero nor the criminal. You take a break and return home. Your heirs and people can continue to serve as officials in the court, what do you think?"
