As soon as Tang Yin, Xu Jing and his party entered North Korea, the news spread to Pyongyang.
The officials and people in Pyongyang were also in a commotion. It had only been a year since this evil god left, and he actually came back again. He came as a special envoy of the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that he was planning to cause something big again? The leader of North Korea has been changed. Will he follow the same example again this time?
Then the King of North Korea, Li Yi, sent his trusted minister Park Yuanzong, who also made great achievements in the Battle of Anyway, Now Park Yuanzong is the leading minister of North Korea, and he also sent a convoy of gifts and greetings to greet Tang Yin and his party on the official road.
When Tang Yin led the envoy team to Xuanzhou, Park Yuanzong rushed over without stopping, and that night he hurried to visit Tang Yin, a figure like the father of the founding of North Korea.
"Bo Yin, you shouldn't have come. I came here to do things under the orders of the emperor, and you came under the orders of your king. So there will be some conflicts. We can't continue to talk like before. As for friendship, you and I should still keep things official."
Tang Yin looked very official.
He was not like this in the past, but he is different now.
Although the title of Right Minister of the Ministry of Industry was obtained only because he was the admiral of Yizhou Shanchang, at any rate he was an official of the rank of Minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also the younger brother of the new leader Zhang Zhou, plus The things he had done in Liaodong allowed him to hold his head high in front of the Koreans.
Even Xu Jing on the side felt uncomfortable.
On the way here, Tang Yin didn’t have any airs. He was chatting with him just as friends. Now Xu Jing realized that their identities were completely different just because they were first-level Jinshi. Of course Xu Jing was like this Thinking about it, what Xu Jing hopes most is to be like Tang Yin, pass the Jinshi examination, and then rely on Zhang Zhou's brilliance to be successful in the court.
Pu Yuanzong didn't seem to care about being gossiped about, and quickly said in a flattering tone, "How can I not welcome the envoys of the Tang Dynasty when they arrive? Speaking of which, my current status depends entirely on you." I will support you all the way. If you have any instructions, just ask."
This is equivalent to expressing your attitude to Tang Yin.
The leader of a country is very important. As the leader of North Korea, he naturally has to be loyal to his master.
But the problem is that this country leader was appointed by the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the initiator of the internal chaos in North Korea was Tang Yin. In Park Yuanzong’s view, if it weren’t for the fact that Tang Yin was not a member of the North Korean royal family, the Ming Emperor would definitely let Tang Yin. Come be the leader of this country, not Li Yi.
So back to the issue of loyalty, Pu Yuanzong would rather show his loyalty to Tang Yin and the Ming Dynasty behind him.
Tang Yin said, "Since you said so, let's sit down and chat for a while. Come on, let's serve tea."
Pu Yuanzong looked back, except for the Jin Yiwei. , and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. These soldiers served him tea, which made him feel lingering fear.
He had seen the firearms of the Ming army before.So before he came, he made a special inquiry to see if Tang Yin also brought firearms. This seemed to indicate whether Daming came to give orders or use force.
The two sat down.
Pu Yuanzong specially called someone who looked like a scribe to take notes, while Tang Yin not only left Xu Jing but also several guards. This was to prevent Pu Yuanzong from causing chaos. Come.
Tang Yin said, "Since the beginning of last year, I have been thinking about things in North Korea."
Pu Yuanzong smiled and said, "If you are concerned, come back and take a look at any time."
Tang Yin glanced at this guy, his eyes seeming to say, I am not a Korean, I really thought that the concern I mentioned was about the people and things here
"This year in Liaodong Over the years, we have experienced a lot. The Jurchens surrendered and rebelled again. What do you Koreans think?" Tang Yin's face turned cold.
"North Korea firmly denounces this. It is different from our concept of founding the country of North Korea. We have always regarded the Ming Dynasty as our orthodoxy and will never do anything disobedient. If you don't believe it, envoy Tang, you can send someone at any time. Check everywhere to see if there are people with such ambitions." Pu Yuanzong seemed to have guessed that Tang Yin was not capable of detailed investigation and said this deliberately.
Tang Yin frowned and said, "North Korea has a king, just like the Jurchens have their own tribal leaders. You are all ministers, and everything should be done in accordance with Ming's instructions. If you Koreans are allowed to move inland, Ming Dynasty Liaodong, you will obey the order"
"This"
Pu Yuanzong was speechless for a moment.
Xu Jing laughed next to him and said, "It was because the Jurchens could not adapt to the environment in southern Liaoning and other places after moving inland that they thought of going back to live their life of eating hair and drinking blood. As for His Majesty the Ming Dynasty and Cai Guogong, for them. But they were very kind and gave them enough living conditions and even divided the land for them, but they didn't seem to know how to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country."
Pu Yuanzong said hurriedly, "Two envoys, this is what I said. I think, North Korea has its own territory. Although it was given by the heavenly superior state, the people here have been living here for generations. If they are allowed to move inward rashly, they will definitely rob the land of the people in Liaodong, Ming Dynasty. It is not as good as Let them continue to live a life of men farming and women weaving where they are comfortable."
At this point, Pu Yuanzong saw that Tang Yin's expression was not right, and quickly added, "North Korean people are different from Jurchens. We also rely on farming, and our people are mainly farmers. This has been the case for generations. We are not like the Jurchens in the matter of education. In our view, they are just a group of uncivilized beasts. "< /p>
"That's good."
Tang Yin nodded, seeming to agree with Pu Yuanzong's statement, "Even if your people are mostly farmers, they know that they are loyal to the king. The more you know, the more loyal you are to His Majesty the Ming Dynasty."
Pu Yuanzong said, "Of course it is His Majesty the Ming Dynasty."
Tang Yin frowned and said, "But I have seen many along the way. people, most of them even HanThey don’t know how to speak, and they don’t know where the emperor of Ming Dynasty is. How can they be loyal to the emperor?"
Pu Yuanzong further explained, "Envoy of the Tang Dynasty, you see, these people have never left you since they were born. They only adapt to the surrounding environment, and they are not familiar with righteousness. After all, North Korea is too backward, and not many people are literate, let alone learn the way of kingship. But the overall situation of North Korea is not determined by these people, but by the country's leader and ministers. If they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, then the national policy will not be chaotic. ”
“Haha. "
Tang Yin smiled, as if he was disdainful of Pu Yuanzong's statement.
Xu Jing heard the contempt in Tang Yin's tone, and sneered, "Then the people will be loyal to you first. If your ruler is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, then if your ruler rebels, who will the people follow?"
"No. "Pu Yuanzong was smiling bitterly.
Cold sweat broke out on his head.
I thought I could get in touch with Tang Yin through some friendship today and complete my errand. Go back and deliver the business as soon as possible.
Who knew that from the beginning, Tang Yin’s tone had always been to use him as a target. Pu Yuanzong even felt that it might be more appropriate to say these words to the court of Korea instead. He should be the one to face Tang Yin's barrage of artillery bombardments.
Tang Yin said, "Since you are all loyal to the Ming Dynasty, why have the military supplies given to you become less and less day by day in the past two years?" You are suffering from another disaster. I have sent people to ask. From last autumn to this summer's grain harvest, even if the weather was not smooth, there was no major famine in Korea. The people had a surplus of grain. However, the Ming Dynasty soldiers were in Liaodong. But you can't survive eating bran-pharyngeal vegetables."
Pu Yuanzong originally wanted to explain, but after hearing this, Tang Yin stopped him from explaining.
Pu Yuanzong Zongdao said, "The Ming Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, and the land is vast and rich. How could there be a shortage of food? Let alone the king of Korea and his officials, they have been frugal in food and clothing. Since the king came to the throne, all celebrations have been cancelled, and the daily meals are only enough to maintain food and clothing." , the ministers in the DPRK also set an example, and the monarch and his ministers never did anything extravagant. "
Tang Yin said, "You mean, I have wronged you."
"That's not what you mean. I just mean that it is difficult for us. "Pu Yuanzong said, "We have tried our best to raise what should be given, but I heard that after these military rations were transferred to Liaodong, a lot of them were also sent to the Jurchen people who moved inland. They have food to eat, and our people But he is still hungry, which seems to be contrary to nature. It stands to reason that the people who are loyal to His Majesty the Ming Dynasty should be protected by the Ming Emperor, not those thieves who have ulterior motives without being transformed by the king. "
Tang Yin shook his head and said, "That's not what you said when I left, and when your king left the Ming Dynasty. "
Pu Yuanzong finally couldn't help but wiped the sweat with his sleeve this time and said, "Envoy Tang, I hope you can be accommodating. The Korean people are like this."The past two years have not been very good. ”
Tang Yindao “That means that your country leader is unfaithful and cannot even fulfill his promise to the Ming Dynasty. Then what is the significance of him as the leader of North Korea? He must maintain the peace of one party. Or should we consider the overall situation first and ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Both of them. "Pu Yuan Zongdao.
"The peace of Liaodong comes first. This is your Majesty's wish. Do you, North Korea, not obey the imperial edict?" Tang Yin's tone became very harsh.
Pu Yuan Zongdao "You don't have to be angry. When you go back next time, you will definitely find a way to raise military rations. Even the part you owed before will be made up. I hope you can give me a few days of grace. "
Xu Jing said with a smile, "We are also here to do things. Your little country leader just got a new princess. You want to get the orthodox canonization and the Ming Dynasty's recognition of you. Doing nothing and revolting alone will not suffice. After all, the position of your country’s leader is not right. "
Pu Yuanzong looked at Tang Yindao with a puzzled expression, "No"
Tang Yindao, "Because of the affairs of your country's leader, I have always been a sinner and was not tolerated by the world of the Ming Dynasty. From a Confucian perspective, this is a conspiracy to usurp the throne. ”
“Ahem. "
Pu Yuanzong became nervous now.
He heard what Tang Yin meant. The Ming Dynasty recognized Li Yi's throne and could cancel it at any time.
It depends on whether Li Yi can really serve the Ming emperor. As for how Li Yi governs the country, the Ming emperor is too lazy to care. In other words, the life and death of the Korean people is not what the Ming emperor cares about.
What the Ming Dynasty King wanted was to bring peace to Liaodong and make all the foreign nations surrender. Under this premise, it would be possible to find someone to sit on the throne of Korea.
Pu Yuan. Zongdao: "Envoy of the Tang Dynasty, are you here to raise an army to punish me?"
Tang Yindao: "I brought people, but I didn't bring a single cannon. You see, I'm here to find you." Troublesome"
"You are definitely not. ”
Pu Yuanzong wiped a cold sweat.
I was thinking that you didn’t bring many people with you last time, but in the end you turned North Korea upside down
"Bo Yin, let me ask you, if you really have to choose a matter of right and wrong, which side would you choose?" Tang Yin stood up and asked seriously
Pu Yuanzong. Sitting there in a daze, when I raised my head, I was completely confused.
You also said that Tang Yin was not here to cause trouble.
You asked me about my position. What did you mean? You want me to follow you again to overthrow the leader of North Korea and replace him with another
Tang Yin said, "There is no need to write this down. ”
Then his eyes stared at the North Korean official who was responsible for recording. The official also looked frightened. Naturally, he could tell that Tang Yin was probably here to cause trouble for the North Koreans, or in other words, he was here to cause trouble. Looking for trouble with the leader of North Korea
"Consider clearly whether it is more important to follow the emperor's orders or to continue to maintain the interests of your people. I am here not only to deliver a message to express my goodwill, but also to raise an army to punish the perpetrators. Of course, I am not using force. I hope you can understand. There is no need to bother you again tonight. "
Pu Yuanzong came out of the post house in a cold sweat.
As soon as he came out, he was shaken by the wind, and Hong Jingzhou, who came with him, hurried over to greet him.
Hong Jingzhou is also a member of the old sect and is a hero of Zhongzong. Of course, it is different from history. When things were planned and implemented by Huahe in the Ming Dynasty, the group of courtiers in North Korea were just going through the motions at most. Only Pu Yuanzong because Following Tang Yin's footsteps, he was promoted faster than ever before.
"Sir, how are you?"
Hong Jingzhou asked hurriedly
Pu Yuanzong glared at the clerk. He glanced at it and then said, "It's still about collecting food. "
Hong Jingzhou said, "Last year we sent hundreds of thousands of dan of grain to Liaodong, and the livestock we could mobilize were transported almost every day and every night. Isn't Ming still satisfied with this?"
p>
Pu Yuanzong waved his hand and said, "You are not from Hucao. You don't know the specific figures and you don't know what the agreement with Daming is. There is no need to say such things. It only increases the suspicion. "
"Yes. "Hong Jingzhou hurriedly lowered his head.
"Now we need to inform my lord quickly and let him know that the envoy from the Ming Dynasty is not a good person. He must also know that this time he will not be able to deal with it easily. He wouldn't just leave with just some food or bribes, and even if he didn't bring many people with him, he might have the ability to respond to everything. "When Pu Yuanzong thought of Tang Yin, he seemed to feel colder, and even his shoulders were shaking a little.
Hong Jingzhou said, "Isn't that the God of Plague?"
Pu Yuanzong sneered, "I'm afraid you think it's the ordinary God of Plague. It’s an evil spirit. If something happens, what choice do you want us to make?"
Hong Jingzhou also had a bright idea and immediately fell silent.
"They are really like this "Tang Yin was in the guest room, listening to Xu Jing talk about what happened outside.
Xu Jing said with a smile, "They thought they couldn't hear them if they spoke softly, but in fact, we have other people over there. Eyeliner, it seems that the person named Park may also realize that standing with us is the right choice. "
Tang Yin said, "That only shows that this little country leader is still not very popular. Otherwise, why he arbitrarily banned so-called heroes is not because of a guilty conscience."
Xu Jing also nodded and said, "Think about it, the former leader of North Korea, the current Lord Yanshan, is actually not that bad. If he continues to be replaced like this, there must be some people in North Korea who are dissatisfied. "
Tang Yin said seriously, "We did this, and we must stand firm. Why didn't Mr. Yanshan do bad things? He didn't have time to do bad things. These are Cai Guogong's original words. You must remember them in your heart and don't talk nonsense everywhere." Please remember to bookmark this chapter after the end. The latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
