North Korea, Hanyang City.
After the candidate for the leader of the country was submitted, Zhang Zhou sent a reply back to Hanyang City, hoping that the leader of the country could be directly selected. However, the Korean subjects who hoped that "North Korea would enter stability" were immediately disappointed. .
Zhang Zhou stated that he would submit it to the emperor for selection and approval, which was equivalent to increasing the uncertainty of the matter for more than ten days, and also brought many uncertain factors to the situation in North Korea.
As the "initiator" of the rebellion, Pu Yuanzong will be caught between the old Xun faction headed by Li Kedun and Yin Bishang led by the Shilin faction. He also begins to feel a sense of crisis. The next day after Zhou's news came back, he and Liu Ziguang came to see Tang Yin with generous gifts.
"Tang Dynasty, the position of the king has not yet been determined. Your generous reward cannot be given immediately, and the title given to you cannot be granted in time."
Pu Yuanzong still came up. inducement.
Tang Yin sat cross-legged in front of the table, with a chessboard in front of him, playing chess for himself.
It’s not that he has such enthusiasm, but he only discovered after coming to North Korea that such a place where people are unfamiliar with life and don’t even understand the language with ordinary people is really boring.
As the capital of North Korea, Hanyang City was not as prosperous as the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Tang Yin now missed the prosperity of the cities in the south of the Yangtze River.
Tang Yin said, "I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty. I cannot accept the title you gave me. I can only complete my errands and then return to the court."
Liu Ziguang stretched his head and said, " The envoy is right, but if the master of the country is not decided for a day, your errand will not be completed."
"Wow"
Tang Yin played chess very irritably and changed the chess piece in front of him. He pushed the box over and said somewhat irritably, "Do you think I'm in a hurry to return to the court now?"
"Ah"
Liu Ziguang was startled, looked sideways at Pu Yuanzong, and thought, then Are you in a hurry or not?
Park Yuan Jongdao said, "It was previously proposed that Duke Lai Guo should decide the candidate for the leader of North Korea, and now it has to be submitted to His Majesty the Ming Dynasty. During this period, North Korea will be turbulent. The intelligence report said that rebels have begun to gather in Jiangyuan Province, wanting to avenge the deposed king and usher in restoration."
Tang Yin shook his head and said, "Restoration is impossible. At that time, you will kill Li and him. All my sons are killed, that’s all.”
This made the North Korean lobbyist duo very helpless.
You, Tang Yin, speak quite directly. Since you think there should be no future troubles, why are you still keeping Li, his son, and concubines, and not killing any of them?
< p>Even the lackeys around Li only captured a few people, and none of the big family was touched. Brothers like Li Kedun are still challenging us in the court.Pu Yuanzong said, "However, the liquidation of the rebellious ministers and traitors cannot be delayed."
Tang Yin said, "When Li was in power, everyone had to rely on others for survival, and everyone was about to make a mistake. At that time, do you dare to say that a few months ago, you had never done anything against your will?"
"Mr. Tang" Pu YuanzongHe knelt down directly to Tang Yin and even kowtowed, "The safety of North Korea depends entirely on you alone. Otherwise, if you ascend the throne and inherit the throne of North Korea, we will fully support you."
"What? "
Tang Yin was still talking calmly, but when he heard this, he suddenly stood up, glared at Pu Yuanzong and said, "It's better not to mention such disrespectful words again. When the time comes, His Majesty will definitely choose the leader of the country, so just wait."
Pu Yuanzong and Liu Ziguang looked up at Tang Yin.
I thought to myself, we have all sincerely asked you to be the leader of this country, and you are still so "pleasant". It seems that you really have no intention of overstepping.
But the question is, do you not want to do it yourself, or do you want to do it but dare not do it?
We all know that there is a "senior brother" behind you who is very awesome, but you are chosen to be the leader of the country. Lord, this could have been an alternative. Maybe the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would have preferred it.
Pu Yuanzong and Liu Ziguang came out. At this time, both of them were disgraced. Even Liu Ziguang did not expect that Pu Yuanzong had previously He would suddenly kneel down and say something like that.
After coming out, Liu Ziguang immediately felt as if he had discovered something he shouldn't have discovered, and he didn't dare to look at Pu Yuanzong.
Pu Yuanzong said as if nothing was wrong, "It seems that there is no need to worry about Tang Yin's independence."
"Yes." Liu Ziguang agreed, thinking in his heart, you won't You want to remind me that what you did just now was just to test Tang Yin, right?
"Is there any progress on the gifts I asked you to prepare?" Pu Yuanzong asked sharply.
Liu Ziguang said, "I gave away everything I could, including gold, silver, jewelry, and even beauties. There were very few antiques, calligraphy and paintings that were exported to North Korea, but I gave him all the exquisite ones." He was sent back."
In the past seven or eight days, the North Korean royal family and ministers had come up with many tricks to bribe Tang Yin.
Things of wine, sex, wealth and wealth were sent to the place where Tang Yin stayed in turn, but none of them were accepted by him.
It’s not that Tang Yin doesn’t want oil and salt, but that Tang Yin feels that he is not “qualified” to accept them. Besides, Tang Yin doesn’t think they are too rare for those external things. He is still making trouble about them before. I was so scared that night, every time I dreamed about it in the middle of the night, it was so frustrating that my heart fluttered.
"Didn't Lord Qi'an say that he had a well-spoken prostitute in his house and that he was going to give it to the envoy? Why hasn't he seen anyone yet?" Pu Yuanzong asked.
The King of Qi'an, Li Wei, was the son of Emperor Ruizhong of Korea. He was famous for being greedy and lustful, and he raised many singing and dancing girls in his family.
Before, because Lord Qi'an was his legitimate son and had the possibility of succeeding to the throne, he secretly wanted to give gifts to Pu Yuanzong and Tang Yin, but there was no way. Only at this time did Pu Yuanzong think of Qi'an. Maharaja.
Liu Ziguang said, "Tang Yin is not lewd. Can this plan work? Besides, all the decisions now rest with the Ming Emperor and Lai Guogong. Would it be wrong to just give a gift to an envoy of the Ming Dynasty?""Tai"
The implication is, have we found the wrong target to curry favor? No matter what, Tang Yin is just a follower of orders. We can't bribe the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, so we might as well bribe Zhang Zhou, the Duke of Lai.< /p>
Pu Yuanzong shook his head and said, "A dead horse is a living horse doctor. Why Lai Guogong did not set foot in Korea in person? The rise and fall of Korea in the future may depend more on Tang Yin. You and I can only be good to him, and we will be able to succeed in the future." Leave us a way out. This boat is easy to sink. "
"You and me" Liu Ziguang frowned.
This is meant for me
Although I am a participant in this coup, it seems that I am you I only joined during the attack on the palace gate. If you didn't come to deal with me afterwards, I felt like it was a shame.
You actually forced yourself to say that we were in the same boat
Pu Yuanzong said coldly, "Do you think anyone else from the Old Xun Sect and the Shilin Sect will protect you besides me?"
"Ah"
Liu Ziguang was shocked.
He then realized that the so-called "same boat" was not actually the stance taken during the rebellion, but the stance of living in North Korea now.
They are no longer part of the traditional old clan. The rebellion itself was initiated by Tang Yin. Only if Tang Yin could represent the Ming Dynasty and even get the support of the Ming Dynasty's troops, would they have the basis to continue to control the government in North Korea.
Liu Ziguang. He said, "I understand, it doesn't matter who is the leader of the country now. It is far less important to curry favor with the king than to curry favor with Tang Yin and Duke Lai, who is behind him." I will hurry up and urge Lord Qi'an to send him here. ”
“Yeah. "Pu Yuanzong nodded with satisfaction.
He first sent Liu Ziguang to ask for someone, but he couldn't help but frown, and said to himself as if he was feeling sorry for himself, "Am I, Mr. Pu, going to get mixed up with this kind of person? "
The people were sent to Tang Yin anyway.
When the people arrived, Pu Yuanzong was first "checked" personally.
When Pu Yuanzong saw that in 67 As a maid, when he was just accompanying a seemingly calm woman, he even felt that Lord Qi An was deliberately sensationalizing her.
“Such women can be caught in large numbers in any flowery street or alley. "Pu Yuanzong said sharply to Liu Ziguang and the retainers of Lord Qi'an's house.
As the nominal leader of the rebels, Pu Yuanzong also deliberately made a show in front of this group of people.
Liu Ziguang was scolded so much that he didn't dare to respond, but the woman said in pure Chinese, "Even if you catch a lot of them, General Park still wants your Majesty to send me here, right?"
"Yeah ”
Pu Yuanzong frowned.
This woman really dares to speak. Doesn’t she know what verbal offense is?
I can give you an order. Your head falls to the ground.
“Your tongue attracts war, so turn your head. "Pu Yuanzong still showed some interest.
After the woman turned her head, Pu Yuanzong saw that under the sun, the woman looked very fair, and she was only fourteen or fifteen years old.Her voice is also delicate, but her words sound like an old man's.
“How could I learn Chinese at such a young age?” Pu Yuanzong never felt that Chinese was something that an ordinary prostitute was qualified to learn.
Liu Ziguang reminded, "General, she is twenty-seven years old."
"What"
Pu Yuanzong was also shocked.
I said she was ordinary, just because she looked like this, she was just an ignorant child, thinking that she just randomly found a so-called "beautiful girl" and stuffed it into my place.
When you hear her speak, her voice sounds like a girl's, but her words sound mature.
Now tell me that her age is equal to two young girls
Liu Ziguang smiled and said, "I don't believe it. At first glance, I thought she was no more than fifteen or sixteen. But even so, she still gave birth."
Pu Yuanzong said in his heart, as expected, Lord Qi'an still knows how to play, otherwise he is the leader of the old perverts in Hanyang City
" What's your name?" Park Yuanzong asked.
The woman lowered her head and did not answer, as if she was too shy to say her name.
Liu Ziguang said, "The general asked you, are you deaf?"
The woman said, "Young lady Zhang Lushou, your Majesty calls you Lushui."
"Zhang Lushui It's best to take her to the Huitong Hall together with the girl next to her. Be sure not to offend the gatekeeper. When asked, just say it was from me and don't mention anything about the Lord Qi'an. "Pu Yuanzong originally didn't want to give it away. There is still hesitation about the matter.
But after personally checking the situation, he seemed to be determined.
People were sent to Huitong Hall.
Liu Ziguang watched the woman walking with her head bowed from a distance, and said with emotion, "She is such a graceful beauty. I heard that Lord Qi'an has mentioned it to your Majesty and Lord Yanshan more than once. He There was once a beautiful woman in the house who was said to be sent to the palace. Now she is not destined to be a concubine, but she is now the envoy's aunt. "
Pu Yuanzong looked gloomy. Answer the call.
Liu Ziguang asked, "What if the Tang envoy still doesn't accept it?"
Pu Yuanzong said, "He will accept it. Every time I visit him these days, I can Feeling the loneliness shown by others in a foreign land, giving him an ordinary woman who can't even speak can't relieve his depression. But if it is a woman who is knowledgeable and can accompany him, he can make him understand North Korea. It will create a good impression, and maybe he will treat himself as a Korean."
"Really?" Liu Ziguang smiled awkwardly.
He was still thinking about it.
You, Pu Yuanzong, don’t really intend to let Tang Yin become the leader of North Korea?
You two brothers, a North Korean and an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, went to Duobi City to fight a battle. What happened? The comradeship is nothing more than that, and now he actually wants to instigate him to become the leader of North Korea
Park Yuanzong turned around and said, "Go and tell Princess Insu about the succession of the King of Jincheng to the throne. It remains to be discussed. Let her see if it isAre there any other candidates? "
Liu Ziguang said, "But aren't we moving closer to Concubine Cishun?"
"If this mother and son gain power, there is no guarantee that they will not backfire on our subjects in the future. Now it seems that Duke Lai Guo is not sure about the King of Jincheng, and there is a deep meaning behind it. If everything goes according to the established process of North Korea, and the king abdicates the throne and is succeeded by the closest heir, then what is the point of Ming Dynasty doing so many things behind the scenes? Is it true that the Lord of Jincheng becomes the king of the country, will he be more powerful than Lord Yanshan? Is the Ming Dynasty more friendly?"
Pu Yuanzong's words made Liu Ziguang seem to have an instant enlightenment.
Liu Ziguang said, "So, we'd better support someone who is easier to control. For example, the eldest son of Lord Yanshan"
"The eldest son of Lord Yanshan is not optional. He will definitely take revenge when he gets older, but the brothers of Lord Jincheng who are concubines are qualified to inherit the throne. Who It is said that North Korea must be succeeded by a legitimate prince. We need to consider Ming Dynasty's intentions in order to decide who will succeed. "
"But among the candidates we reported, there are no such people."
"It's not important. I expect that the leader appointed by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will most likely be under the leadership of Lord Yanshan. The younger brother was chosen from the elder brothers of the Lord of Jincheng. They were weak and nominally the Lord, so that North Korea could enter the state of internal strife that the Ming Dynasty wanted to see. "
"Then we will become thieves. "
"We are originally, only these so-called Changjun, they have no power and status, we can better control it, Ming Dynasty also needs our help to control, doesn't it?"
After After Pu Yuanzong explained, even Liu Ziguang seemed to have an epiphany. He nodded and went out to make arrangements.
The so-called arrangement was actually to go to Li Yi's concubine brothers to see who was easier to control.
In the hall
Xu Jing is still urging Tang Yin to return to Liaodong as soon as possible and to return to the capital to live a stable life.
“Bohu, we all. We are from the south. It is hard enough to spend the winter in the capital, but we ended up going to Liaodong and North Korea. The past six months have been really hard for us. We finally have hope, and we should not continue to endure it like this. When will Let's go."
As a southerner, Xu Jing has been sick in North Korea recently.
It can only be said that a young master like him is not suitable for life in a foreign country.
The boring life is also the most important factor.
Tang Yin said, "Dong Lai Guo gave me a separate letter before, telling me that I must complete my errands here before leaving. If you are in a hurry, there is nothing wrong with going back first. "
"What errand?" Xu Jing asked, "Are you going to control North Korea? If you want to set up a Dusi Yamen here, you may not be able to leave in the future."
Tang Yin said with a dark face, "Otherwise, do you think this is the life I want? Don't I know how deep the water in Hanyang City is? Do you think I can go in and out of the Huitong Hall at will now?" I also want to go back to the capital and live a more stable life.Son, even if you are teaching others how to fire cannons in the Yanwu Hall, it will be better than the current situation. ”
Xu Jing smiled and said, “So Bohu, we are both the same and cannot endure hardship.” But it's fate that laughs at us, and we've all endured this hardship. Alas."
Just as he was talking, there was an announcement at the door, "Sir, General Park has sent you a beautiful woman. "
It's Liu Gui's voice.
"No, send it back. Tang Yin said without thinking.
Liu Guidao said, "He is a Han, proficient in poetry, poetry, and can also play chess with adults." ”
“Are there Han people in Han Korea?” Xu Jing asked.
After hearing this, Tang Yin was still a little moved.
What if a Han woman really comes here? Being by his side, even if he just brings tea and water, can relieve the depression in his heart.
The biggest pain does not come from loneliness. After all, there are many soldiers of the Ming Dynasty around him, and he even has friends. Xu Jing, but he doesn't have any sense of belonging in his heart. This is what makes him anxious.
Being in a strange place, his spirit is always tense, for fear that the North Koreans will fight back, surrounded by people. A group of big men are completely unable to grasp the weak and needy side of your heart. In other words, others are relying on you, but your heart cannot get a moment of peace. This is what makes him anxious, and even Xu Jing suffers from it. The cause of the illness
“Let her in. ”
Tang Yin finally let go.
When Zhang Lushui opened the door and came in, standing there facing Tang Yin and Xu Jing, the two gentlemen would also have the same idea as Pu Yuanzong.
This woman is a bit too ordinary, just a girl.
"I am not a Han, I am an authentic Korean. In our country, my status is called a prostitute. I have always been drifted and resold. In the twenty-six years of my life, I was sold to four people. It was not until I lived in the house of Lord Qi'an that I lived a stable life for a period of time. However, I have two husbands and one It’s my husband who is a slave. I gave him a daughter and a king. Whenever he drinks, he will take me with him.”
It’s fine if Zhang Lushui doesn’t complain.< /p>
At this statement, Tang Yin and Xu Jing looked at each other.
They both felt the Koreans' "deep malice".
Send a woman. Forget it, I sent you a woman who is already a "mature lady" in this era. The key is that she looks like a girl, which is not the point.
This woman who has been passed on several times is still born. Prostitutes, if you Koreans want to curry favor with me, Mr. Tang, shouldn’t you give me some famous lady? Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
