After the four thousand "coalition troops" who stayed at the junction of Hwanghae Province and Gyeonggi Province entered Hanyang City, Hanyang City came under the rule of the coalition forces.
Nominally, Pu Yuanzong serves as the "deputy commander" of the coalition forces, but due to Tang Yin's status as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, this group of people is actually controlled by Tang Yin. In the absence of the North Korean leader, Tang Yin has become the de facto regent of North Korea.
Tang Yin requested that the morning court should continue every day and that he should observe it. The three pillars of Li Kedun, Yin Bishang and Pu Yuanzong formed in the court.
Pu Yuanzong also started preparing to eradicate Li Kedun and Yin Bishang at once.
At the same time, the news that Tang Yin had subverted the North Korean regime reached the Ming Dynasty a few days later, and Zhang Zhou, who was on the right guard of Dingliao, learned the news.
"Master Zhang, the news just came, it is said that the Tang Dynasty minister assisted Pu Yuanzong, the military envoy of Ping'an Road in North Korea, and deposed the king. Now that North Korea is in turmoil, it is precisely to send troops to take over North Korea. What a good opportunity."
Song Yuan, the commander of Dingliao Right Guards, came to convey the news to Zhang Zhoutong, and at the same time brought the "North Korea Credentials" sent by Tang Yin Kuairang.
Zhang Zhouben was still discussing with Zhu Feng about the deployment of defense in Liaodong. Hearing this, he read the credentials handed over by Song Yuan and nodded with satisfaction, "This Tang chief has lived up to His Majesty's trust. It's a big thing."
Zhu Feng was shocked after seeing it, "Just a few thousand troops, giving North Korea"
"It's not occupation, it can only be said to be subversion." "Zhang Zhou said with a smile, "If you want to completely conquer North Korea, it will be impossible to quell the rebellions within a year. According to the established process, you should support a puppet king in North Korea and station troops at key passes to prepare for complete unification in the future. North Korea is preparing."
Zhu Feng looked incredulous and said, "Tang Jiaoxi usually looks ordinary, but I never thought that he could accomplish such a big thing."
When it comes to Tang Yin, Zhu Feng still feels that he cannot see through this person.
He was obviously a "Jiangnan talented man" who was just waiting to die. Before he passed the imperial examination, he was extremely ambitious and challenged Zhang Zhou in various ways.
Why did he suddenly accomplish such a big thing in North Korea
Zhang Zhoudao "sent people to North Korea to deliver my handwritten letter to let them know that I have already reported the establishment of the North Korean monarch." Your Majesty, your Majesty and the courtiers will decide who will take over."
Zhu Feng asked, "Who should take over?"
"Zhijie, you want to know too much. This is not something you should be concerned about." Zhang Zhou said with a smile.
"Oh." Zhu Feng lowered his head, not knowing how to respond.
"However, your mission has also come. I will ask you to lead five thousand troops and advance towards the border of North Korea. It is up to you to put pressure on North Korea." Zhang Zhou said.
Zhu Feng asked, "Will this make the North Koreans think that we are going to invade North Korea and it will be detrimental to Tang Jiaoxi's safety?"
"You are wrong. I actually did this to bring peace to the country." My fellow discipleDi Zhenshengwei, do you think North Korea can now obey the control of a Ming envoy? Is it because of the 300 Ming soldiers in his hands or the pressure from the 5,000 North Korean frontier troops in Ming Liaodong that prompted them to complete the internal affairs? prerequisites for disruption. "
Zhang Zhou smiled coldly and said, "The pressure must be gradually tightened. Once relaxed, they may have some conspiracy waiting. Tang Yin did an admirable thing this time, but it was easy to attack a city but difficult to defend it. He had no experience in running a country and ensuring peace.
Zhu Feng said, "Brother Zhang, it would be more appropriate for you to go." ”
“I, the Duke of Minglai, don’t rule North Korea now, let me set foot in the land of foreign countries. Tang Yin has no experience, so I will put more pressure on the North Koreans. With this pressure , no matter how illogical Tang Yin's decree is, they must obey it. Just like Yanshanjun governs North Korea, does he rely on benevolence or righteousness or skill?"
"Ah"
Zhu Feng's political thinking has still not improved.
Zhang Zhou He couldn't help but glance at him.
He already felt that Tang Yin was the most unsatisfactory person around him, but now it seems that Zhu Feng, who was the first to become famous, has become his shortcoming.
It’s time to beat it again
The capital of the Ming Dynasty
Before the imperial meeting, an urgent memorial came from Liaodong, and Zhu Youtang was still there. When putting on the crown, Xiao Jing personally brought it to him.
"Your Majesty, I am very happy," Xiao Jing said.
"Where does the joy come from?" Zhu Youtang's attitude was quite gentle. , seemed not to be surprised, "Did Bingkuan win another battle in Liaodong?"
Xiao Jing said happily, "It's not Lai Guogong, it's Lai Guogong's junior brother Tang Yin, the head of the military department, who personally led The soldiers overthrew the leader of Korea in the city of Hanyang, the capital of Korea. I am now writing to ask Your Majesty to appoint the new leader of Korea. "
"Really?"
Zhu Youtang didn't take it seriously at first. When he took the memorial in Xiao Jing's hand and saw that it was Zhang Zhou's memorial, he immediately He was in a happy mood.
"Where is the letter of credence submitted by North Korea?" Zhu Youtang asked.
Xiao Jing said, "As soon as we arrive in Beijing, I will have my slaves transferred over." "
"No need haha. Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "A few thousand people can take down the leader of North Korea. This Tang Yin is indeed somewhat capable. No wonder Bingkuan would transfer him to his side regardless of previous suspicions." Let me not underestimate you. ”
Xiao Jing asked, “Should we order Lai Guogong to send troops to Korea now?”
Zhu Youtang was fully dressed at this time and was so excited that he couldn’t help but go to Fengtianmen. As he left, he smiled and said, “You don’t understand. I have discussed with Bingkuan that issues related to North Korea must be done step by step. If North Korea is annexed in one step, the biggest problem will be the internal chaos in North Korea. According to Bingkuan, North Korea's internal ethnic identity is higher than that of Jurchens and others. Since ancient times, the place has had a sense of family and country. Once foreign forces occupy it, it will only bring about constant resistance. ”
Xiao Jing said, "You shouldn't be afraid."
"But it will be a lot of trouble." Zhu Youtang said, "The grassland is for peace. Sending troops to North Korea at this time will only drag down the people of Liaodong, and long-term governance will be difficult." It will bring a lot of trouble. It is better to adapt to local conditions and support the new ruler and foster some internal opposition forces to weaken its strength." Xiao Jing blinked and said. Duke Lai Guo has long-term thinking."
Zhu Youtang said with a smile, "These are all simple things. Besides, North Korea has always been a vassal of the Ming Dynasty and has never acted disobediently to the Ming Dynasty. Such direct annexation will inevitably lead to resistance from the neighboring kingdoms Zuo Zongfan. Korea is different from the Tatars and Jurchens. I will use a combination of kindness and power to make them willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty. "
Xiao Jing. He didn’t dare to give random opinions, so he quickly complimented, “Your Majesty is wise.”
“Let’s go see the ministers and tell them the good news. Haha. I haven’t been so happy for a long time. Wait. After Tang Yin returns to the court, I will reward him well. Even though he is not very good at fighting, he can still fight hard at this critical moment. It is really unexpected that a thousand men defeated Hanyang City."
Zhu Youtang. I felt very comfortable.
The Ming Dynasty took care of North Korea without much effort, which will make Zhu Youtang feel that he is the only one in the world.
Nothing is a big deal.
Xiao Jing smiled and said, "That is better taught by Lai Guo Gong."
At critical moments, he must keep up with Zhang Zhou's flattery, especially in front of the emperor.
"That's natural. Even He Ling and Yan Ling can achieve success under his hands, let alone those who are capable. That's why I believe that Bing Kuan is a gift from God. My blessing."
Fengtianmen court meeting.
At the beginning, Zhu Youtang asked Xiao Jing to announce the government in public, and wrote a memorial written by Zhang Zhou describing the "internal disputes" of the Joseon Dynasty.
In this memorial, it is mainly mentioned that it was Pu Yuanzong who brought order to things, while Tang Yin, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, was only ordered to question King Li of North Korea about why he had a secret connection with the Jurchens. Tang Yin just happened to meet North Korea "by chance" The implication of the internal coup is that the internal disputes in North Korea have nothing to do with me, Ming Dynasty. I, Ming Dynasty, are neither the instigators nor participants, but only spectators and witnesses.
But these words
What about the ghost letter
After Zhu Youtang waited for Xiao Jing to finish reading, he said with a smile on his face, "Dear gentlemen, North Korea has now come to power. Please submit a memorial to confer the title of new ruler. What do you think the decision should be?"
Liu Jian came out and expressed his attitude on behalf of the civil servants, "Your Majesty, Park Yuanzong, as a minister of Korea, committed an act of rebellion. In any case, it is not allowed to comply with secular ethics. If you comply with his request, it will mean that the Ming Dynasty is working against the enemy."
This is equivalent to a civil official's statement.
No matter what, we cannot agree with whoever Park Yuanzong proposes to be the leader of the country.
Because that group of people are working together.
Zhu Youtang asked "How did the memorial come up?"
Xiao Jingdao "At present, North Korea has proposed that the crown prince of North Korea's former leader Li, who was the eldest son who had just been canonized, could be the king of North Korea. Or the king of Jincheng, Li Yi, was recognized by the two concubines of North Korea, the concubine Rencui and Cishun."
The concubine Han of Rencui. She is the grandmother of brothers Li and Li Yi, equivalent to the "Empress Dowager", while Concubine Cishun is Li Yi's biological mother.
This is equivalent to telling the ministers present that although Li Yi is not very old, only thirteen years old, he has the support of two women in North Korea who have the power to abolish Li.
Zhu Youtang asked, "Fellow ministers, who do you think is suitable?"
Li Dongyang came out and said, "Your Majesty, Daming should not be personally involved in such a matter." Among them, it is better for North Korea to make its own decision and then report it. Moreover, the previous leader Li did not commit any act of trespass. If he abolishes it without authorization, he will only be criticized by others. ”
Civil officials still don’t want to pay attention to these messy things inside North Korea.
They are originally a group of "barbarians" who are far away from the sky and have little contact with us in the Central Plains. They have subverted your royal power. It makes us look awesome, but after the subversion, you will choose a country for yourself. When the Lord comes out, we will attack whether the new king is qualified to succeed, and even issue an order to scold you for "rebellion". This is the proper procedure.
If people think that it was our Ming Dynasty that promoted the rebellion and also appointed the candidate for your country’s leader, then wouldn’t those scholars in North Korea divert this hatred away from the rebellious Park Yuanzong? On top of Ming Dynasty
"Ministry of Rites." Zhu Youtang said.
Xu Qiong walked out of the crowd. He was already in the position of Minister of Rites. He had not resigned for several months. When he came out, he looked senile, which made people feel like he was He is dying soon and wants to win the sympathy of others.
Xu Qiong's voice was hoarse and said, "The Ming Dynasty really did not dare to get involved in the matter of the successor of the country. It can decide whether the successor is qualified to inherit after the successor is decided."
"I don't. "I think so." Zhu Youtang said, "If North Korea can decide, they should have already made a decision, and then submitting the report is equivalent to informing Ming Dynasty, whether they have the intention to discuss with Ming Dynasty."
"This"
Xu Qiong couldn't answer.
If the decision is made and then reported, it is equivalent to "killing first and reporting later", and the courtesy that Ming Dynasty received is not that great at all.
It’s probably like the North Koreans are telling the Ming Emperor, look, we have already decided on the leader of the country. You, the emperor, need to approve it. If you don’t approve, we will just do it. At worst, we won’t get it. You agree. In short, you will recognize it in a few years. Otherwise, how can we show that Ming is a suzerain to us?
But now we are the leader and we dare not decide on it ourselves. Please ask Ming to choose a leader for us. , we only listen to the instructions of the Ming Emperor, whoever is asked to be the one can be the one, if not, we will destroy the country.The Lord's seat is vacant.
Only in this way can the status of the Ming Dynasty’s sovereign state be most intuitively reflected.
You ministers are struggling with etiquette and the like here, but what I want is this face. Even if I only choose between these two people, even if the person I choose is the one they may all prefer. , but it is this primary and secondary relationship that gives me face.
Xie Qian came out and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if Zhang Zhou, the Duke of Lai who facilitated this matter, has any opinion on this?"
Ah
Many people were present They all looked at Xie Qian with surprised eyes.
You, Xie Yuqiao, actually care about who Zhang Bingkuan wants to support as the leader of North Korea. You are definitely not deliberately trying to argue with Zhang Bingkuan, or are you trying to imply that this is actually Zhang Bingkuan's conspiracy?
Zhu Youtang said, "Bingkuan was in Liaodong and never participated in this matter. Moreover, Tang Yin was sent to North Korea by me to question the leader of the country. This rebellion was all caused by internal disputes in North Korea, and also because the leader of North Korea, Li Li, was unpopular." , otherwise we would not have captured Li alive with a thousand men and won the approval of the Korean royal family for the Jingguo matter. Xie Qing's family, please don't say anything nonsense."
Xie Qian smiled. He hurriedly raised the wat board and said, "The old minister made a mistake."
What a mistake.
Your Majesty, what else are you pretending to do?
Everyone knows very well that Zhang Bingkuan did this. Tang Yinli made great contributions, but he was just a chess piece sent by Zhang Zhou. We all know that Zhang Bingkuan is the "initiator" who leads all this.
We don’t believe that Zhang Bingkuan can not give any reminder about who will succeed the leader of North Korea.
Seeing that the ministers present did not directly answer the question of choosing one of the two, Zhu Youtang said, "Since the ministers have not made a final decision on who will succeed the North Korean leader, it is better to decide in a few days."
Liu Jiandao "This is inappropriate. It will only plunge North Korea into turmoil."
Zhu Youtang said in his heart that North Korea's turmoil is not what I want
What I want now is to level the grassland as soon as possible and mess up North Korea, just in time to facilitate my plan.
Li Dongyang said, "A country cannot be without a long-term king, and the same should be true for Korea. After all, Li's son is young, so it is not impossible to consider inheriting the throne as the king of Jincheng."
< p>Zhu Youtang said coldly, "The Li Qing family really cares about the stability of North Korea."The implication is, whose side are you on?
I finally found out With the help of brothers Zhang Zhou and Tang Yin, North Korea was thrown into chaos. You ministers have been discussing for a long time how to quickly stabilize North Korea. Do you not understand my good intentions, or are you deliberately causing trouble here< /p>
Confucian ethics
Ethics can be eaten
Besides, if you usually worry about the ethics of the people of the Ming Dynasty in the court, what are you talking to the Koreans? Etiquette
Li Dongyang heard that the emperor was mocking him, and he said, "I dare not make unreasonable comments."
This meansThe idea is, Your Majesty, whoever you say is the one, if you want to delay it, then just delay it, we don't care yet.
"We cannot ignore the internal affairs of North Korea. After all, it is the land of Ming Dynasty's vassal. I cannot be irresponsible. I heard that North Korea has sent a team of envoys to pay tribute. It is estimated that there will be more We will arrive in Daming in ten days, so let’s settle the matter as soon as possible.”
Zhu Youtang is not in a hurry.
The big deal is that you within North Korea dare to make your own decisions about who will be the leader of the country. Since you have asked me for permission, if you still dare to make your own decisions, I will see if I don’t let Bingkuan beat you to the ground
I just like to watch the fun.
What the hell
Just after the court meeting ended, Zhu Youtang took a luan and drove to Qianqing Palace.
As soon as the emperor left, an explosion broke out in front of Fengtianmen.
"A thousand men and horses captured the leader of North Korea. This Tang Yin is like the second Wang Bo'an."
"Could there be Zhang Bingkuan casting spells behind his back?" "Monster"
"Did the leader of North Korea have no defense at all or was he deceived by his ministers? North Korea was not quite stable before, so why did it suddenly happen like this?"
The ministers were all dumbfounded. .
If it hadn’t come out from the emperor’s mouth and knew that Zhang Zhou and Tang Yin couldn’t be bragging about this matter, everyone would have thought that this was a boast.
He said, "I think it's more because Lai Guogong, Xinjian Bo and others were fighting with the Jurchens in Jianzhou, Haixi and other tribes in Liaodong. They put too much military and political pressure on North Korea. In addition, Park Yuanzong's move was obviously secretly done by Lai Guogong. Instruction."
"That makes sense." Shen Lu came out and said with a smile, "Look, if you want to bring Pu Yuanzong to the side of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea can really be regarded as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Shen Lu is quite proud now.
Due to the previous discussion about giving Zhu Youtang a concubine, Shen Lu had more contact with Zhang Zhou. He felt that Zhang Zhou had some "weaknesses", that is, Zhang Zhou was also greedy and lustful. "Layman", he can obtain political resources for himself by getting along with Zhang Zhou. < /p>
Everyone understood it as soon as they heard it.
Zhang Zhou has to clean up the mess Zhang Zhou made.
No matter how much we talk about the internal situation in North Korea in the capital, it is not as effective as Zhang Zhou's fart in Liaodong. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
