Ming Zuo

Chapter 572
"Forgive me, the angel. The old man is out in the wild, wandering in clouds and wild cranes. Only when his whereabouts are fixed can he avoid people's eyes and ears."

As soon as they met, Kim Sang-heon humbly explained the reason.

The fundamental reason why he came to see Liao Zhongjian instead of Shen Qiyuan was that he was dismissed from office.

In the fifth year of Chongzhen, political events similar to the "Great Etiquette" occurred in North Korea.

Li Yu wanted to honor his biological father Dingyuan Daewon as Emperor Yuanzong of Joseon, but he was opposed by many people.

Among them, the most fierce opposition is Kim Sang-heon.

As a result, Kim Sang-heon was dismissed, and returned to his hometown in despair.

After Shen Qiyuan received his nephew's letter in Hanyang, he was overjoyed and knew that he was not suitable to come forward.

He has a high position and authority, and there are countless eyes staring at him.

It is unrealistic to leave Hanyang and go to Busan to meet the envoy of Shangguo.

So he contacted Kim Sang-heon, who was unemployed at home, and asked him to come forward on his behalf.

Kim Sang-heon has always been seeking a comeback, and he is worried about the current domestic situation, so he rushed here.

There was another general on board with him.

After introduction, this person is Quanli, the commander of the navy in Gyeongsangdo, North Korea.

There is no doubt that it is also the Western People's Party.

"That's very good, so as not to cause trouble."

The appearance of Jin Shangxian made Liao Zhongjian even more satisfied.

Shandong now does not want to intervene too deeply in North Korean affairs, and Kim Sang-heon's status as an opposition party is beneficial to his actions.

Seeing that Liao Zhongjian didn't blame him, Jin Shangxian heaved a sigh of relief and asked cautiously, "I don't know what the official position of the angel is in Shangguo?"

Liao Zhongjian laughed out loud.

"Master Jin thinks that at Liao's age, what should he do?"

Kim Sang-heon paused.

When he saw Liao Zhongjian, he became suspicious.

He met officials of Ming Dynasty.

It's not that there are no young ones, but there is absolutely no one so young that he can be an envoy.

The person in front of him was almost the same age as his grandson.

But he has a dignified manner, an extraordinary majesty, a sonorous and powerful speech, and full of confidence.

This is the aura that a superior person should have, why does it appear on a young man?
Is he a royal family?

Nor is it possible.

The royal family of Ming Dynasty has no real power.

How could it be possible to send a young son of the royal family over for such a foreign event?

Just when he hesitated, Liao Zhongjian spoke.

"It is said that Lord Jin happened to be in the capital during the Dingmao Rebellion, and he wrote a letter in tears, begging Daming to send troops to help. Is there such a thing?"

Mentioning this, Kim Sang-heon was full of sadness.

"This old man is in pain all his life."

Kim Sang-heon implored Daming to send troops to rescue North Korea, but at that time, Daming was retreating steadily on the battlefield and was too busy to take care of himself, so of course there was no way to rescue.

Because of this incident, many people in North Korea were disappointed with Daming, so they switched to Houjin's embrace.

When Liao Zhongjian mentioned it at this time, there were faint tears in Jin Shangxian's eyes.

Liao Zhongjian asked again: "At that time, the scribe Jin Dicui, who was under Lord Jin's command, once said that the Ming Dynasty would perish. Is this true?"

Jin Shangxian was terrified, he didn't expect that what they discussed in private would be known by the Ming court.

He quickly fell down and begged: "Master Angel, Jin Dicui's words and deeds were unforgivable at the time, and his crime is unforgivable. However, Jin Dicui has already died of illness, so please forgive me outside the law."

Liao Zhongjian asked abruptly: "According to Master Jin, will Daming perish?"

Kim Sang-heon was stunned and looked puzzled.

How can a courtier of Ming Dynasty ask an outsider whether his country will perish?
But what he saw was Liao Zhongjian's calm and indifferent eyes, as if Daming had nothing to do with him.

"Master Angel, you..."

Kim Sang-heon was an old fox, and he immediately became suspicious.

Liao Zhongjian no longer hides.

"Your country has always had envoys traveling to and from Daming. Do you know anything about Shandong?"

Jin Shangxian's scalp was numb, and he realized that this meeting did not seem so good.

"You...you are Shandong traitors..."

Quan Li next to him immediately grabbed the handle of the knife and was about to make a move.

Seeing the indifference here, he couldn't help but be confused about the situation.

Liao Zhongjian poured a cup of tea for Jin Shangxian.

"Even you Koreans can see that Ming is about to perish. How can we Han people not feel it? The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was fatuous, and the court was corrupt, so that the people were destitute, and they had to rise up. Now the Jurchens Once the Jurchen wins, the whole world will inevitably be degraded. I believe that North Korea is also inevitable, so people with insight like Mr. Jin are full of worries. Since the court can't count on it, we will wait The Han people who are unwilling to be slaves must of course save themselves."

He stared at Kim Sang-heon.

"Heaven is healthy, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement. God saves himself, and now I am determined to save myself in Shandong, but I don't know if my North Korean colleagues have such a heart?"

Jin Shangxian trembled, he didn't expect that these Ming people not only rebelled themselves, but also came to persuade them to rebel.

It's terrifying.

He was about to refuse on the spot.

But thinking that this is Mingren's boat, there are Mingren on the left and right.

If he refuses, Mingren will kill him, and he and Quanli will die without a place to die.

The most urgent thing is to return to your own boat.

Then use the Busan navy to wipe out these rebels, and then escort them to the capital. Maybe they can get the approval of the Emperor of Heaven and increase assistance to North Korea.

He was thinking this way, and when he was about to find an excuse to escape, Liao Zhongjian gave the news that the thunder was like a shock.

"According to my research in Shandong, within three years, after Huang Taiji has completely pacified Mongolia, he will definitely proclaim himself emperor and establish a country. At that time, North Korea must be his goal. I don't know if your country has the heart to be a vassal since it is below the king?"

Kim Sang-heon was dumbfounded.

"how is this possible?"

It is totally unacceptable to submit to uncivilized barbarians.

North Korea is a small China, and it has always had only one father.

Even a mere barbarian wants to be a father, this is really tolerable, what can't be tolerated.

"Huh, North Korea has always regarded Daming as the suzerain country. A mere Jurchen dares to covet the gift of heaven, such a madman's reckless act."

Liao Zhongjian looked over suspiciously.

"What if the Jurchen army is overwhelming, just like Dingmao's rebellion?"

Jin Shangxian's arrogance dissipated instantly.

He knew that with North Korea's strength, the Jurchens would come again, and the result would be the same again.

A world where only North Korea is beaten.

But what Liao Zhongjian said later made him heartbroken.

"North Korea can't beat it, it's okay, the big deal is to bow down to the Jurchen. But how should Lord Jin and other sages deal with themselves? You are determined to repudiate peace, and the Jurchen will definitely not tolerate it. At that time, in order to save your life, the king of North Korea will have to use you as a substitute." Sinful lamb. Mr. Jin, can you think of a perfect plan?"

Kim Sang-heon was drenched in cold sweat, terrified to the extreme.

He understood that Liao Zhongjian was not alarmist.

In fact, the North Korean envoy in Liaodong has sent back news about Huang Taiji's heart to proclaim himself emperor.

The discussion between the monarchs and ministers in the DPRK is that they refuse to admit it.

But they all forgot that Hou Jin would not be unreasonable.

At that time, it is inevitable that the soldiers will suppress the situation.

It is not impossible for North Korea to disobey and destroy the country.

With the Ming Dynasty unable to assist, the only way for North Korea to preserve Guozuo is to surrender.

But it is easy for North Korea to surrender, and those Westerners' parties that rely on denunciation will end in a dismal end.
