Gyeongbokgung Palace, Jigyeongjeon Palace.
Concubine Cishun was carried out. As the Queen Mother of Joseon, she was not Li’s biological mother, so she did not receive too high treatment. Even the news of Li’s deposedness was not revealed in the news. When someone came into her palace to take her out, she told her.
"If you commit rebellion, you will be reprimanded by the suzerain. North Korea is a vassal territory of the Ming Dynasty. How can you talk about abolishing it?"
As soon as Concubine Cishun came out, But like a woman who knows politics very well, she "admonished" Pu Yuanzong and Yin Bi Trading Company who were standing at the door of the palace. Her words were also addressed to the ministers kneeling at the door of the palace.
Liu Ziguang walked out from the kneeling ministers below and said loudly, "Now that the matter has come to an end, I would like to ask the concubine to take charge of the government."
Concubine Cishun said hurriedly, "You guys The purpose of clearing the throne has been achieved. Weren’t the Shen family and the Hong family killed by you? Now they should still be kings.”
Pu Yuanzong said, “My concubine, the situation is impossible to change, Ming Dynasty. The envoy Tang Yin and Tang Shangchai are still waiting in the front hall. If you can't decide, I'm afraid it will be up to Tang Shangchai to decide who will be the leader of the country."
"What"
Concubine Cishun looked panicked.
As soon as Pu Yuanzong waved his hand, a soldier immediately handed over a wooden box. After he opened it, he took out a succession edict and said, "I would like to ask the concubine to make a clear judgment. I have drafted it for you." An abolition edict is used to announce the establishment of a new leader to the Ming Dynasty, but the result must be approved by the Ming Dynasty."
"As a woman, I am not qualified to decide such important matters. The identity of the Crown Prince has been recognized by the Ming Dynasty, and the throne should be passed on to the Crown Prince."
Concubine Cishun has a relatively weak character, or she is not related by blood. Li Guan, the son of the relationship, was breathless. At this time, she did not dare to decide who would be the leader of North Korea casually, and could only shirk the responsibility and follow the legal procedures.
Yin Bishang glanced at Pu Yuanzong and said, "That's okay."
Cheng Xiyan, who was following behind Pu Yuanzong, said, "Prime Minister Yin, don't you understand the rules? My father was deposed. There is no reason to establish a son. Yanshan Jun has caused enough troubles because of his mother and concubine."
The implication is that the reason why Li is so stubborn and kills people without even blinking is not all because of him. When I died at the hands of us conservative ministers
he was the one retaliating for the previous military disasters, and he also wanted to kill them all.
If we abolish Li now and replace him with his son, this matter will be even more lively. When the new king grows up, his revenge may be a hundred times more powerful than his father's.
"Shut up"
Pu Yuanzong gave the order, and the place fell silent instantly.
At this moment, everyone present seemed to realize instantly that it was said that Concubine Cishun would decide the successor of the king. In fact, Pu Yuanzong was the protagonist of Ciqing Palace. Of course, after leaving the inner courtyard of the palace, There is Tang Yin outside, and above Tang Yin there is Zhang Zhou, and above Zhang Zhou there is the Ming Emperor.
We are just fighting here to get a bloody blow, and we don’t even need to report the matter to the Ming Dynasty. Even if we walk out of Ciqing Hall and go to the front hall, Tang Yin can deny it to you with just one sentence.
Pu Yuanzong said, "Concubine, your biological son, the King of Jincheng, is now old and married, and has become responsible. You can consider him as the leader of North Korea."
" How can he be so virtuous?”
Concubine Cishun did not dare to let her son take on this job.
Too dangerous.
Surrounded by a pack of wolves, let alone the Ming Dynasty, people like Pu Yuanzong are not something Li Yi can resist.
Besides, who knows whether these people really want to give or are just testing?
Pu Yuanzong said firmly, "Although the envoys of the Ming Dynasty said they would not interfere with our selection of candidates for the throne, they also made it clear that, You must discuss it clearly with Concubine Cishun. North Korea has always used the direct prince to inherit the throne of the crown prince. If it is not the prince of Jincheng, how can anyone else be a suitable candidate?"
"In other words It makes sense.”
Many people from the old school below are echoing this.
Obviously, the mother-son duo of Concubine Cishun and Lord Jincheng are the best candidates for them, ministers of the old sect with some military power.
Because it is very weak, the DPRK has little strength and is easy to control.
The most important thing is that there is no need to worry about the mother and son's counterattack or any purge movement, because the mother and son themselves are also suppressed by Yanshan Lord Li, and they hate the tyranny of Yanshan Lord.
Concubine Cishun said, "Quuzi has no virtue and incompetence, so he dare not agree to this matter."
Pu Yuanzong said, "Whether it can be determined is not decided directly by us. , I also asked the concubine to put forward the candidates and let them be reviewed by the Ming Dynasty envoys. The purpose now is not to seize the throne, but to ensure the stability of North Korea and prevent Xiao Xiao from coveting the throne."
"That's it. Your Majesty's family has made the decision."
Concubine Cishun was also very excited. Although it was a bit dangerous for her son to be the king, it was still a coexistence of danger and opportunity.
Both mother and son did nothing in this Jingguo incident. Afterwards, it was pie in the sky to just give the king a pawn.
Concubine Cishun took the initiative and wrote the name of Jincheng Prince Li Yi on the edict.
The ministers followed them to Qinzheng Hall, while Pu Yuanzong, Yin Bishang and others went to ask Tang Yin for instructions.
Liu Ziguang followed Park Yuanzong and asked loudly, "After Jingguo, who is in power now? Is it someone from the Ming Dynasty who will preside over the government affairs of North Korea?"
A group of people stopped He stepped forward and glared at Liu Ziguang with sharp eyes.
Liu Ziguang also felt that he might have said the wrong thing and quickly lowered his head.
The problem was thrown to Park Yuanzong.
Pu Yuanzong said, "Who do you think is the number one hero of Jingguo?"
Liu Ziguang rushed to say, "Of course it is you, Mr. Park."
" Wrong." Pu Yuanzong said, "I am Tang Yin, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty.The deputy marshal of Liaodong soldiers and horses is currently still taking orders from Lai Guogong and Tang Shangchai of the Ming Dynasty. Please don't mess up your duties. The follow-up troops will enter the city in the next two days. There may be rebellions in various places. You will not I thought I could just sit back and relax now."
Yin Bishang frowned and said, "Bo Yin, what I mean by this is that you want to be a traitor to the Ming Dynasty."
"Swish, swish, swish" ”
The coalition soldiers who came in after Pu Yuanzong drew out their weapons and almost rushed forward to chop Yin Bishang.
Pu Yuanzong was too lazy to name Yin Bishang. The commander-in-chief was arguing, and he said, "If we care about our position, every one of us here today is a traitor. This is only relative to the deposed king." Now you should think about how to be a more practical supporter of the new master. ”
Although Pu Yuanzong is from the old Xun sect.
But he is also a scholar after all, and this meeting actually taught everyone the simplest truth.
You regard me as a "chaotic traitor", but have you ever thought that you are in the same situation as me now
If Lord Yanshan is restored, none of you will be able to escape being held accountable; Now that the new master has not been established, you still have the time to worry about your personal position
Cheng Xiyan came over to Pu Yuanzong's ear and whispered, "If you really want to drive away the Ming envoys, it's not No"
This is to remind Pu Yuanzong.
The task of Tang Yin of the Ming Dynasty has been completed. It is up to us to decide whether to abolish the establishment. Why bother to ask him for instructions?
Even if we don’t dare to kill him and drive him away, what else can he do with the two hundred people in his hands?
“You want to put me in an unkind and unjust position. "Pu Yuanzong figured everything out in the flash of lightning.
Am I afraid of Tang Yin's two hundred soldiers and horses?
What I am afraid of is Duke Lai of Liaodong? .
You guys are really more opportunistic than me. Now that you have finished using people, you just want to throw them over the wall. You never thought that Tang Yin would dare to take the risk to overthrow my royal power in Korea. Doesn't he dare to kill you or what?
He wants to kill you by name, how can I object?
Also, do you really think that the more than a thousand soldiers under my command, and these The four thousand soldiers and horses who will arrive at Hanyang City in two days are all at my disposal
Am I the only one to be the "traitor" now? The five thousand Korean soldiers and horses all obey Tang Yin. They are now Not only did they want to cause rebellion, but they also wanted to rebel against the Ming Dynasty and follow the Ming Dynasty envoy Tang Yin to enjoy the hot food and drink spicy food. Who asked Tang Yin to make these frontier soldiers feel like normal soldiers for the first time in Duobi City
< p>"I made a mistake. "Cheng Xiyan didn't dare to say anything."You go first and take the King of Jincheng to his residence near Gyeongbokgung Palace. I went to see the Ming Dynasty envoy to see what his opinion was. "Pu Yuanzongdao.
The ministers acted separately.
Most of them returned to Qinzheng Hall first to wait for the result of asking Tang Yin for instructions.
Some people went to the Jincheng Maharaja's Mansion first to welcome the Jincheng Maharaja to a place close to Gyeongbokgung Palace, which can be regarded as protecting the people and welcoming them to Gyeongbokgung Palace at any time. Bit.
Pu Yuanzong left Cheng Xiyan and Liu Ziguang behind and accompanied him to see Tang Yin.
He did not call Yin Bishang because he knew that no matter who he supported, Yin Bishang could not continue to be the minister of political affairs. This position could only be his own.
"Will the envoys of the Ming Dynasty agree with us to support the king of Jincheng?" Liu Ziguang said, "Based on my analysis of the current situation, the Ming Dynasty wants to cause chaos in Korea, and will not casually agree to our support of the orthodoxy. The direct prince of Jincheng took over the throne."
Cheng Xiyan frowned and said, "Bo Yin, I am also worried about this."
Pu Yuanzong said, "During this battle, Is there anyone else in the royal family who has made meritorious deeds?"
"Yun Shuijun" Liu Ziguang reminded.
Pu Yuanzong scolded, "If Yun Shuijun is allowed to succeed to the throne, it will not be in line with the law and will put both you and me in danger. Is this what the Ming Dynasty wants to see?"
Just as he was talking, a soldier from the coalition forces came to the door and reported, "General Park, Mr. Yun Shui has gone to see the Ming envoy."
"As expected"
Liu Ziguang He almost blurted it out.
This can be regarded as a wake-up call for several people.
Previously they were discussing privately whether to drive away Tang Yin, the Ming envoy, and let them, the North Korean ministers, decide who would be the leader of the country.
Now they are afraid that if Pu Yuanzong really adopts this opinion before, Lord Yunshui will have control of several soldiers and horses in the city, with at least four to five thousand soldiers and horses, plus Most of the upper coalition forces are controlled by Tang Yin, and the strength of the two can complete the second subversion.
Why Park Yuanzong, he became a discarded child.
"You have to go quickly," Cheng Xiyan reminded.
Pu Yuanzong said, "Now we must contact the royal family members in Hanyang City, especially the princes and princes of various palaces, and ask them to bring enough wine, food and money to bribe the Ming envoys. Only Only in this way can the successor be decided as soon as possible."
"I'll go," Liu Ziguang volunteered.
Although he was once a close minister of Li and hated by the Shilin sect, the old Xun sect still regarded him as half one of their own.
At this time, he should use his personality of being good at catering and making friends to talk about giving gifts to Tang Yin.
Pu Yuanzong originally disdained cooperation with Liu Ziguang, but he can still use Liu Ziguang now, also because he knows that he needs to use Liu Ziguang to stabilize the old officials of the Li faction and make them feel that they are on his side. There is no plan for liquidation, which can stabilize people's hearts.
"Okay, you go, remember to cater to Tang Yin's preferences. He is a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River, good at poetry and painting, and he is proficient in heavenly secrets. I heard that he is a sect of Duke Lai. Junior brother, he has a distinguished family background. He also has the trust of Duke Minglai. This is why I don’t.The reason why you dare to offend him. "
Because I am the younger brother of Lord Lai, I was afraid of offending him. The Lord of Lai sent troops to attack North Korea, so I listened to him.
Look, how reasonable this reason is
Am I a traitor?
It is wrong to act according to the wind. It should be judged by the situation.
Pu Yuanzong went to see Tang Yin. p>Tang Yin did not stay in Qinzheng Palace, because he felt that this place was a bit dangerous, so he simply returned to Changdeok Palace, in the Dazao Palace of Changdeok Palace, and faced a Li who was tied up by Wu Huada.
< p>"Master Tang, I am willing to devote myself to the Ming Dynasty until my death. "Yunshui Lord Li Xiaocheng expressed his loyalty to his former king, "After I become the king, I will assist the Ming Dynasty and wipe out the Liaodong Jurchens in one fell swoop. From now on, I will give the Ming Dynasty every year." The tribute will be doubled. ”
Li Xiaocheng is not a close relative of the royal family. He was very flattering to Li before. It was also because he did not pose a threat that he gradually controlled part of the military power. However, he defected relatively early last night.
Li yelled at the opposite side, "A wolf's ambition can be punished."
"Save it. Ha ha. "Xu Jing was sitting on a chair next to him, with a triumphant smile on his face.
Tang Yin said, "Yun Shuijun, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said. If your new king Knowing that you came to see me today and told me this, what do you think will happen to you?"
"Then me"
Yun Shuijun looked nervous. This is to push yourself into a dead end.
"As for who will inherit the throne of Korea, I, Mr. Tang, have no right to decide. Even if His Majesty the Ming Dynasty did not decide, I should have asked Lai in Liaodong. Duke, I will truthfully report your achievements, so you go back and wait. "Tang Yin said.
Yun Shuijun looked at Tang Yin, Xu Jing and a group of Ming soldiers, and then looked at Li opposite.
He thought that if Ming didn't reveal that he was here today, The purpose may be that Li leaked it to the outside world. But now that Li is the deposed monarch, does anyone still believe what he said?
"I have prepared generous gifts for Lord Tang and Duke Lai. "Yun Shuijun said.
"No need." Tang Yin stood up and asked, "Go to discuss with the North Korean concubine about the successor. Is there no news yet?"
"Here we go this way. come over. "A guard said.
"Hurry up!" Tang Yin was already impatient with waiting.
After a while, Park Yuanzong and Cheng Xiyan arrived at the Dazao Hall of Changdeokgung Palace. .
When they saw that Li was still alive and even yelled at themselves, they were still very nervous.
What if Daming wanted to use Li as a bargaining chip? If there is another "restoration" later, they will be labeled as traitors.
As for the Tang Yin family, they are not Koreans. They can unite to rebel and turn back. After they parted ways, did the Ming envoys still need to care about their stance towards the Korean leader?
"We have discussed with the concubine about the successor. Sir, why don't we take a step to talk." Pu Yuanzong did not dare to mention the matter of establishing a new ruler in front of Li.
Tang Yin said, "But it doesn't matter."
When Pu Yuanzong saw it, he knew that Tang Yin had asked him to say it in front of Li deliberately, so he said, "The result of the discussion between the concubine and the ministers is The King of Jincheng succeeded to the throne of Korea."
"Traitor" Li continued to scold.
"Stop his mouth." Only then did Tang Yin give the order to stop him.
Then someone blocked Li's mouth with a piece of blood-stained cloth, so that only various grunting sounds could be made from there.
Tang Yin stood up and looked at Pu Yuanzong and said, "I came to North Korea before, and it seems that I came to enthrone the prince. In other words, the prince was recognized by His Majesty the Ming Emperor, so why was he not among the candidates?"
Candidates
The candidates are not given to you personally. You can directly select them and then submit them for approval
Is there still a selection competition where three will be selected into two, or two will be selected into one?
Tang Yin said, "Although Li was guilty of secretly colluding with the Jurchens, his crime was not punishable by death and he should be exiled as punishment. His son, the Crown Prince, was still recognized by the Ming Dynasty. If he was selected consecutively, If the prince doesn't report it, it would be against the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor. I didn't come to Korea to destroy the legacy of your throne."
Cheng Xiyan added, "I understand, how could the envoy of the Ming Dynasty do this? Help the rebels"
Pu Yuanzong glared at Cheng Xiyan, who do you think is the rebel
"We are here to bring order to the chaos," Tang Yin said with a smile.
"Yes, yes." Pu Yuanzong nodded hurriedly.
Tang Yin looked at the abolition of the edict handed over by Pu Yuanzong again. It seemed that as long as he nodded, the King of Jincheng, Li Yi, could ascend the throne as the new leader. This was obviously not what Tang Yin wanted to see.
"The prince of Jincheng counts as one, and the prince of Wang counts as one. Then select a few people and send them to Liaodong on fast horses. The Duke of Lai will see them." Tang Yin said.
Pu Yuanzong said, "His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and Duke Lai Guo will definitely see it. In fact, it is better for you to give your approval first and decide on the candidates before asking for instructions. North Korea cannot survive in one day." Without a master, it is easy to get into trouble."
Tang Yin said, "I am in Hanyang City, and Duke Lai is in Liaodong. Who dares to cause chaos?"
"Ah"
p>Not only Pu Yuanzong, but also Cheng Xiyan and Li opposite were suppressed.
What a Tang Yin
You are really impressive.
How can you be so awesome when you use the capital of North Korea as your back garden to show off your authority
But why can’t we resist at all
"If you decide first, then ask for instructions. If His Majesty disagrees, do you want to abolish the establishment again?" Tang Yin's attitude was very firm, "Draw up the candidates quickly. If everything goes well, we can send a message back and forth within seven or eight days to settle the matter." Once it’s settled, it’s settled.
