Zheng Renhong, who had suffered a "sudden illness" when he was welcoming the Angel of Tomorrow in the suburbs of Anpingjun Li Qi, woke up. However, he saw that the surroundings were dark, with only a glimmer of light coming from a gap in the wall. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was sunlight or light. I didn't know this dark room. Is it day or night outside? He wanted to sit up, but he felt that every bone in his body was aching, and his head was hurting. It took him a long time to remember what happened before he fell into coma. He screamed and sat up, shouting: "Come on, come on! Come on! Hurry up!" Someone come!¡±
No one answered.
Zheng Renhong got up and stumbled to the light-leak wall, slammed the door hard, and shouted: "The Ming Dynasty envoy Zhang Yuan colluded with the abandoned concubine Jin, which will be detrimental to our king. Go to the city quickly to report the news! Hurry to the palace to report the news!" Then he remembered that Zhang Yuan had imprisoned him before meeting Anping Lord Li Qi, so he changed his words and shouted: "Zhang Yuan wants to harm His Highness Anping Lord. The matter is urgent. Someone is coming, someone is coming." The wall was hit with "bang bang" He screamed loudly, but no one answered.
Zheng Renhong sat down on the ground slumped, rubbing his forehead and thinking about the causes and consequences of this matter. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Zhang Yuan just refused to confer the title of Lord Anping, but imprisoned him here. He was the official political advisor of the North Korean state, and Zhang Yuan had What authority does he have to detain him? What exactly does Zhang Yuan want to do?
I don¡¯t know how long it took, but the door suddenly opened, and the May sunshine rushed in. The blazing light made Zheng Renhong dizzy. He was carried out of the door by two Jinyi guards. He was dizzy and stuffed into a prison car. The car rattled. After driving for a while, Zheng Renhong finally came to his senses. When he looked up, he saw the majestic Wang Jing a few miles ahead. The prison car was driving on the road to Wang Jing. There were two wooden prison cars in front of his prison car. The prisoner's bare head had two rattails hanging down¡ª¡ª
"Where did the Haixi Jurchen come from?"
Zheng Renhong didn¡¯t realize that the prisoner in the prison car in front of him was Nalan Bakshi, because when Nalan Bakshi met with him a few days ago, he was wearing the Ming Dynasty uniform and did not show his bald head and rat braid¡ª¡ª
¡ª¡ªZheng Renhong was still wondering. Suddenly, a rotten vegetable root came and hit him on the left cheek. Someone cursed: "Zheng Renhong, an old thief, colluded with slave builders. He deserves death!"
Someone else scolded: "The old thief instigated Lord Gwanghae to depose his mother and kill his brother. This unfaithful and unfilial old thief deserves to be cut into pieces."
Suddenly, someone rushed to the prison car and cursed: "The old thief killed my father. My father Pu Yingxi was a loyal minister, but the old thief falsely accused my father of treason and instigated Gwanghae to execute my father. The old thief has committed many crimes today. I want to kill him with my own hands¡ª¡ª", holding a wooden stick in his hand, he hit Zheng Renhong. The sergeant escorting the prison van quickly stopped him.
The three prison cars drove slowly, and more and more people gathered along the road, shouting curses. When they arrived at Xingren Gate, Zheng Renhong, who looked dirty and dirty, finally understood his situation from the curses: he had been asleep for two days. day, within these two days. The political situation in Korea was turned upside down. The concubine of King Inmu issued an edict to all the people in the country, declaring the abolition of Lord Gwanghae's throne. Lord Ayang, Lee Joo, was elected as the new ruler in Gyeongyun Palace. The high-ranking officials were imprisoned for questioning, and those escorted in the two prison cars in front were Nurhachi's envoy Nalan Bakshi and his men¡ª¡ª
Only then did Zheng Renhong realize that the situation was over and he fainted again.
¡¡
When Zheng Renhong and Nalan Bakshi were being escorted to Seoul, Lord Ayang Li Ju was having a secret conversation with Zhang Yuan in the Muhua Pavilion. Li Ju said: "Master Zhang. Li Duhu's 10,000 troops have arrived in the northern suburbs of Seoul. The Protectorate and the various provinces, prefectures and counties are generally in peace, the amnesty order has been issued, and except for a few of the culprits, no one will be held accountable."
Zhang Yuandao: "Very good, now the top priority should be to calm people's hearts."
Li Zhu said: "Officials from the government and the six ministries came up to advise Bu De to ascend the throne as king as soon as possible, saying that this is the most important thing to calm people's hearts. What do you think, Mr. Zhang?"
"Bad morality" is a humble term for an emperor, and Li Zhu has quietly changed his self-title. Zhang Yuan smiled slightly. He had an agreement with Li Jie to make Li Jie the king of Korea. Said: "Your Highness does not want to ascend the throne as the king for the time being. The king needs to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty. Your Highness can take charge of state affairs first, and then Concubine Renmu will give a memorial to the Ming Emperor, stating the evil of King Gwanghae and requesting the Ming Dynasty to canonize your highness as the king. This will not His Highness's accession to the throne can only be justified if others speak his mind. Otherwise, if you arbitrarily abolish the throne, offend the superiors, and use ministers to undermine the emperor, there will always be endless troubles."
Li Zhu knew that what Zhang Yuan said was reasonable. North Korea, like the Ming Dynasty, followed Confucianism in governing the country. The Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules were the most important moral principles of Confucianism and were the foundation of Confucianism. Lord Guanghae was the king of Korea who was canonized by the Ming Dynasty. He, Li Zhu, was the nephew of Lord Guanghae. , using his nephew to depose his uncle and establish himself as king is a big taboo. If it is not handled properly, not only will it not be recognized by the Ming Dynasty, but it may even lead to the Ming Dynasty's condemnation and crusade. If the dethronement can be done by Princess Renmu, If you take it upon yourself, it will be much easier to explain. In fact, the results of many things may be completely different if you just change the way you explain them¡ª¡ª
Li Zhu nodded and said: "What Mr. Zhang said is absolutely true, but there is a problem now. Concubine Renmu hates Guanghai to the core, and is unethical."?I entered the palace early to greet Concubine Wang. Concubine Wang requested that the heads of Gwanghae and his son be sent to her. This is something I cannot agree to. Gwanghae has been in power for more than ten years and has received many small favors, so there are many supporters. If Killing Gwanghae will definitely cause panic among people and unrest in the country. "
Princess Inmok did not receive much love during Seonjo's lifetime. After Seonjo's death, Lord Gwanghae came to the throne. Princess Inmok was even more miserable. Her beloved son, Lord Yeongchang, was first exiled and then secretly executed. His father and eldest brother She was falsely accused of treason and executed, and her beloved Princess Jeongmyeong was frightened and lost her voice. She herself was beaten with a stick as a queen and imprisoned in the palace for several years. Her hatred for Lord Gwanghae was unforgettable. Once she regained her dignity as a royal concubine, Naturally, he wants revenge and wants to take the lives of Gwanghaejun and Anpingjun, father and son. Zhang Yuan can completely understand this revenge mentality, but now is not the time for grudges and grudges. What Zhang Yuan wants to do is to quickly stabilize the political situation in North Korea - ¡ª
Zhang Yuandao: "Your Highness can patiently explain to Concubine Wang that Princess Zhenming is smart and kind-hearted. Your Highness can also ask her to advise her."
Li Zhu smiled bitterly and said: "Concubine Renmu's hatred for Lord Guanghae cannot be persuaded by a few words, and there are some things that I can't say. I would like to ask Mr. Zhang to persuade him. Only Mr. Zhang has this prestige. Concubine Renmu and Zhen Aunt Ming is also extremely grateful to Mr. Zhang." After saying that, she bowed deeply.
Zhang Yuan mused: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to meet Princess Renmu."
Li Zhu said: "Concubine Renmu is currently living in Qingxi Palace. Tomorrow morning Bude will accompany Mr. Zhang. It is not inappropriate for the concubine to meet behind the curtain. Concubine Wang appreciates Mr. Zhang's virtue and wants to express her gratitude to Mr. Zhang in person. Please invite Mr. Zhang. Don¡¯t put it off.¡±
Zhang Yuandao: "That's fine, Lord Ruan and I will go to Qingxi Palace to meet Queen Renmu tomorrow."
Li Zhu was very happy when he saw Zhang Yuan's consent. He went to explain the situation to Ruan Dacheng in person and asked Ruan Dacheng to go with him. While he was talking, the Jin Yiwei came to report that Zheng Renhong and Nalan Bakshi had been escorted to the embassy.
Li Zhu said to Zhang Yuan: "Zheng Renhong helped Guanghai do evil. He is one of the few people hated by Princess Renmu. He must be sentenced to death. I will take this person away first."
Zhang Yuandao: "First have a judge to interrogate him, and then he will be convicted and executed. I will make a copy of the charge sheet so that I can take it back to Beijing."
Li Zhu asked Zheng Renhong to be escorted to Xing Cao for interrogation. Nalan Baksh and another Jianzhou Jurchen were imprisoned in the Muhua Hall. When he saw Zhang Yuan, the prisoner Nalan Baksh actually sneered and said: "It turns out that he is the number one scholar in the new branch of the Southern Dynasty. Lang¡¯s ingenious plan was unparalleled. The Southern and North Koreans joined forces with hundreds of people to besiege our thirteen Jurchens. It was so majestic.¡±
Zhen Zidan on the side was furious and asked Zhang Yuan for instructions: "Sir Zhang, let me give this humble servant some punishment. Such barbarians don't know the etiquette of the Celestial Dynasty unless they teach you a lesson."
Zhang Yuandao: "Zhen Qianhu doesn't need to be angry, and he doesn't need to be like a prisoner."
Nalanbaksh looked at Zhang Yuan coldly with his small eyes narrowed, and said: "Information, the Confucian scholars in the Southern Dynasties are a bunch of trash who only talk about Confucianism but are actually useless. How dare they talk about inference."
Now even Ruan Dacheng was angry and shouted: "How dare a Jiannu who is illiterate dare to talk about his knowledge!"
Narambakshi said: "I, Khan, have been ordered by heaven to raise an army and kill you all in a few days. This is my knowledge."
Zhang Yuan waved his hand and signaled Ruan Dacheng not to be angry, and said: "This man is afraid of the torture of the Jin Yiwei, and wants to anger me so that he can die quickly. How can he be allowed to do so?" He looked at Nalan Bakshi and asked, "Do you really think so? Can a small Jianzhou fight against the Ming Dynasty?"
Nalanbakshi said: "Didn't you see the battle the day before yesterday? We, the Jianzhou Warriors, can easily defeat a hundred people with one enemy, but the generals of the Southern Dynasties are corrupt and cowardly. Once the war starts, we, the Jianzhou Warriors, will be like tigers driving sheep. You are waiting for a A place to die without a burial."
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Nalanbakshi, did you gain Nurhachi's important position by flattery and boasting?" He pointed at the Jurchen who injured his left arm next to Nalanbakshi and asked: "What's his name?" , can you be considered a warrior among the slaves?"
Nalanbakshi said: "It's okay to tell you that the name of this warrior who founded the state is Nabatean. He is Niulu Ezhen under the command of Efu Yanguli. He has the courage of thousands of people. Otherwise, how can he win from hundreds of people?" Break out of a human ambush!"
Zhen Zidan sneered and said: "Where did the breakout go? Hehe - don't confuse the North Korean soldiers with our Ming Dynasty soldiers."
Narambakshi said contemptuously: "In my opinion, the armies of the South and North Korea are just chickens and dogs, vulnerable to attack. In addition to relying on numbers to win, hundreds of people besieged thirteen of us. If this word spreads, it will greatly inspire me." The prestige of statehood.¡±
Zhang Yuandao: "You keep saying that you can win by relying on more people. How can you win if you fight alone?"
Nalanbakshi said a few words to the man named Nabatean next to him in Jurchen dialect. Nabatean gritted his steel teeth, stretched his strong chewing muscles, looked at Zhang Yuan provocatively, and then spoke in Jurchen dialect ¡
Nalanbakshi was waiting for translation, and Zhang Yuan said: "The Jurchen barbarian language is so shallow and ridiculous, so why is it so difficult to understand." He immediately translated what Nabatean said, and Nabatean said that even though his left arm was injured, it was still Not afraid of fighting alone, no matter it is a Southern or Korean, he will kill one of them¡ª¡ª
Wang Zongyue, who was standing behind Zhang Yuan, quietly took a step forward to remind Zhang Yuan of his presence.

I'm very sorry. Xiaodao's writing status has been very bad recently. He doesn't want to type when sitting in front of the computer and can't get into it. It's like anorexia. Yasao's writing time is really too long. I used to finish a book in more than a year. I can take a break. It's been a few months, and this book has just entered the middle game, and there is still work to be done, so I ask for your forgiveness, book friends, and I will step up the update after the Xiaodao is adjusted.
