The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 367

Gyeongbokgung Palace, Ciqing Palace.

Concubine Cishun was carried out. As the Queen Mother of Joseon, she was not Li's own mother, so she did not receive high treatment. Even the news of Li's deposed came when someone entered her palace to carry her When she came out, she told her.

"If you commit a crime, you will be reprimanded by the suzerain! North Korea is the vassal of the royal family of Daming County, how can it be qualified to talk about abolishing the establishment?"

As soon as Empress Cishun came out, she acted like a woman who knew politics very well, and "admonished" Pu Yuanzong and Yin Bi Firm who were standing at the entrance of the hall, and the words were also addressed to the ministers kneeling at the entrance of the hall.

Liu Ziguang came out from among the ministers kneeling below, and said loudly: "This is the end of the matter, please ask the concubine to preside over the government affairs."

Concubine Cishun hurriedly said: "You have achieved your goal by wanting the Qing emperor's side. Didn't you kill the members of the Shen family and Hong family? They should still be on the king's side now."

Pu Yuanzong said: "My concubine, the situation is so impossible to change. Tang Yin, Tang Shangchai, the envoy of Ming Dynasty, is still waiting in the front hall. If you can't decide, I'm afraid Tang Shangchai will decide who will be the lord of the country." .”

"what?"

Empress Cishun was flustered.

As soon as Pu Yuanzong waved his hand, a soldier immediately handed over a wooden box. After he opened it, he took out a succession edict from inside and said, "I also ask the concubine to learn from you. I have drafted an abolition edict for you. It is used to announce the various parts of North Korea, and it is also to propose to Ming Dynasty to support a new leader. You can choose the candidate, but the result must be approved by Daming."

"I... I am a woman, and I am not qualified to decide such a big event... The identity of Wang Shizi has been recognized by Daming, and the throne should be passed on to Wang Shizi..."

Concubine Cishun has a relatively weak personality, or she is overwhelmed by her unrelated son Li. At this time, she dare not decide who will be the leader of North Korea, and can only shirk and follow the legal process.

Yin Bishang glanced at Pu Yuanzong and said, "Yes."

Cheng Xiyan, who followed Park Yuanzong, said: "Master Yin, don't you understand the rules? If the father is deposed, how can there be a reason to have a son? Isn't Mr. Yanshan causing enough troubles for his mother and concubine? "

The implication is that the reason why Li is so self-willed, killing people without even blinking an eye, isn't it all because his old mother died at the hands of us conservative ministers?
He was taking revenge for the previous disasters, and he wanted to kill them all.

If we abolish Li now and replace him with his son, this matter will be even more exciting. When the new king grows up, his revenge may be a hundred times stronger than his father.

"shut up!"

Park Yuanzong gave an order, and the scene fell silent instantly.

At this moment, the people present seemed to realize instantly that it was said that Princess Cishun decides the successor of the king. In fact, Park Yuanzong is the protagonist of the Ciqing Palace. Of course, after leaving the inner courtyard of the palace, there is Tang Yin outside, above Tang Yin There is also Zhang Zhou, and above Zhang Zhou is the Ming Emperor.

We just got bloody fights here, and we don't even need to report the matter to Daming, even if we walk out of the Ciqing Hall, Tang Yin can say no to you in the front and rear halls.

Park Yuanzong said: "Concubine, your biological son, the Maharaja of Jincheng is now an older man and married, and has a responsibility. He can be considered as the lord of North Korea."

"This...what is he capable of?"

Empress Cishun did not dare to let her son take over this job.

Too dangerous.

A pack of wolves surrounded him, not to mention Daming's side, even people like Pu Yuanzong, Li Yi couldn't resist.

Besides, who knows if this group of people really want to give, or are they just testing?

Park Yuanzong said firmly: "Although the envoy of the Ming Dynasty said that he would not interfere with our choice of the king, he also made it clear that we should discuss it clearly with Princess Cishun. North Korea has always inherited the position of the prince by the prince. If Jincheng Maharaja, how can someone else be the right candidate?"

"It makes sense."

Many people from the old honor faction below are echoing.

Obviously, the mother-son combination of Empress Cishun and Maharaja Jincheng is the best candidate for ministers of the old honor faction who have some military power in their hands.

Because it is very weak, the court has no strength, and it is easy to control.

The most important thing is that for the time being, there is no need to be afraid of the mother and son's retaliation, or some kind of purge movement, and because the mother and son are also suppressed by Yanshan Lord Li, they also hate Yanshan Lord's tyranny to the bone.

Concubine Cishun said: "The dog has no virtue or ability, so he dare not accept this matter."

Park Yuanzong said: "Whether it can be confirmed or not is not decided directly by me. I also ask the empress to put up the candidate and let the envoy of Ming Dynasty look over it first. It is not to steal the throne now, but to ensure the stability of North Korea and prevent Xiao Xiao is just coveting the throne."

"Then...then it's up to you gentlemen to decide..."

Empress Cishun was also very excited. Although it was a bit dangerous for her son to be king, it was also a danger and an opportunity.

The mother and son didn't do anything in this Yasukuni incident, and they directly sent a king to him afterwards... It's like a pie in the sky.

……

……

Empress Cishun made the decision, and wrote down the name of Jincheng Maharaja Li Yi on the imperial edict.

All the ministers followed to the Hall of Qinzheng, while Pu Yuanzong, Yin Bishang and others went to ask Tang Yin for instructions.

Liu Ziguang followed Park Yuanzong and asked loudly: "After Yasukuni, who is in power now? Could it be someone from Ming Dynasty who is here to preside over our North Korean government affairs?"

A group of people stopped and stared at Liu Ziguang with sharp eyes.

Liu Ziguang also felt that he might have said something wrong, so he quickly lowered his head.

The problem was thrown to Pu Yuanzong.

Park Yuanzong said: "The number one hero of Yasukuni, who do you think he is?"

Liu Ziguang hurriedly said again: "Of course it's you, Mr. Pu."

"Wrong." Pu Yuanzong said, "It's Tang Yin, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. As the deputy marshal of the Liaodong army, I am still taking orders from the Duke of Lai and Tang Shangchao of the Ming Dynasty. You will enter the city in two days, and there may be rebellions in various places, you don't think that you can sit back and relax now, right?"

Yin Bishang frowned and said, "Bo Yin, what do you mean by this, are you going to be a traitor to Ming Dynasty?"

"Shhhhh..."

The coalition soldiers who came in with Park Yuanzong pulled out their weapons and almost rushed up to chop Yin Bishang.

Park Yuanzong didn't bother to argue with Yin Bishang, the nominal leader, he said: "If you care about your position, one of them here today counts as one, and they are all traitors. This is only relative to the deposed king. Now you should think about it." , how to be the minister of the new lord's support is more practical."

Although Pu Yuanzong was from the old Xun faction.

But he is also a scholar after all, and this meeting actually told everyone the most simple truth.

You all regard me as a "traitor", but have you ever thought that you are in the same situation as me now?
If Lord Yanshan is restored, none of you will be able to escape being held accountable. On the contrary, now that the new master has not been established, you still have the mind to care about your personal position?

Cheng Xiyan came over to Pu Yuanzong's ear, and whispered: "If you really want to drive the envoys of Ming Dynasty away, it's not impossible..."

This is to remind Park Yuanzong.

Daming Tang Yin's mission has been completed, and the matter of abolishing the establishment is up to us to decide, why bother to ask him for instructions?
Even if we don't dare to kill him and drive him away, what else can he do with 200 people in his hands?

"Are you trying to put me in a state of injustice?" Park Yuanzong thought everything through in the blink of an eye.

Am I afraid of Tang Yin's two hundred soldiers?
What I'm afraid of is Duke Lai of Liaodong.

You people are really more speculative than me. Now that you have used up people, you want to throw them over the wall?You never thought that Tang Yin dared to take risks to overthrow our Joseon kingship, so why didn't he dare to kill you or what?

He named you to kill you, how can I object?

Also, do you really think that the more than 1000 soldiers under my command, and the [-] soldiers and horses that will arrive in Hanyang City in the next two days, are all at my disposal?

Am I the only one who is now a "rapist"?The five thousand North Korean soldiers listened to Tang Yin. They not only want to commit rebellion, but also want to betray Ming Dynasty, and follow Daming envoy Tang Yin to eat and drink hot food. Who told Tang Yin to let this group of frontier soldiers be the first in Duobi City? First time feeling like a normal soldier?
"It's a slip of the tongue." Cheng Xiyan didn't dare to say anything.

"You go and take the Maharaja of Jincheng to his residence near Gyeongbokgung Palace. I will meet the envoy of Ming Dynasty to see what he thinks." Pu Yuanzong said.

……

……

The ministers split up.

Most of them returned to Qinzheng Hall first to wait for Tang Yin's instructions.

And some people go to Jincheng Maharaja's Mansion first to welcome Jincheng Maharaja to a place close to Gyeongbokgung Palace, which can be regarded as protecting people and welcoming them to Gyeongbokgung Palace to succeed them at any time.

Pu Yuanzong left Cheng Xiyan and Liu Ziguang behind to accompany him to see Tang Yin.

He didn't call Yin Bishang because he knew that no matter who he supported, Yin Bishang could not continue to be the Minister of State, this position could only be his own.

"Will the envoys of the Ming Dynasty agree with us to support the Maharaja of Jincheng?" Liu Ziguang said, "Based on my analysis of the situation and the situation, the Ming Dynasty wants to cause chaos in Korea, and will not casually agree with us to support the orthodox prince Jincheng Maharaja Accepted."

Cheng Xiyan frowned and said, "Bo Yin, I'm also worried about this."

Pu Yuanzong said: "in this battle, is there any member of the royal family who has made meritorious service?"

"Mr. Yunshui?" Liu Ziguang reminded.

Pu Yuanzong scolded: "If Lord Yunshui is allowed to succeed, it is not in line with the law, and it will put you and me in danger. Is this what Daming wants to see?"

Just as he was talking, a soldier from the coalition army came to report at the door: "General Pu, Mr. Yunshui has gone to see the envoy of Ming Dynasty."

"Knew it!"

Liu Ziguang almost blurted out.

This can be regarded as a blow to several people.

Previously, they were discussing in private whether to drive away Tang Yin, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and let them, the North Korean ministers, decide who should be the head of the country.

Now they are afraid... If Park Yuanzong had really adopted this opinion before, Mr. Yunshui would have control over several soldiers and horses in the city, at least four or five thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, and most of the coalition forces would be controlled by Tang Yin Controlled, the strength of the two can complete another subversion.

What Pu Yuanzong...he became a discarded child.

"Go quickly!" Cheng Xiyan reminded.

Pu Yuanzong said: "Now we must quickly contact the members of the royal family in Hanyang City, especially the magistrates of the courts and courts, and ask them to provide enough wine, food and money to bribe the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. The matter of selection is decided."

"I'll go." Liu Ziguang volunteered.

Although he was Li's close minister and was hated by the Shilin faction, the old honor faction still regarded him as half of their own.

At this time, he should use his character of being good at catering and making friends, and talk about giving gifts to Tang Yin.

Park Yuanzong originally disdained to cooperate with Liu Ziguang, but he can still use Liu Ziguang now because he knows that Liu Ziguang should be used to stabilize the old officials of the Li faction and make them feel that he has no plan to liquidate. Only then can people's hearts be stabilized.

"Okay, let's go. Remember to cater to Tang Yin's preferences. He is a talented scholar from the south of the Yangtze River. He is good at poetry and painting. In addition, he is proficient in heavenly secrets. I heard that he is the same junior of Lai Guogong, and he has a prominent background. He is too. I won the trust of Duke Ming Lai, which is why I dare not offend him."

Because he is Lai Guogong's younger brother, I was afraid of offending him. The Lai Guo Guild sent troops to attack North Korea, so I listened to him.

You see, how reasonable is this reason?

Am I raped?
This is what I mean by adapting the rudder according to the wind... No, it should be called judging the situation.

……

……

Park Yuanzong went to see Tang Yin.

Tang Yin didn't stay in Qinzheng Palace because he felt that this place was a bit dangerous, so he simply went back to Changdeok Palace, where he was in the Dazao Hall of Changdeok Palace, facing Li who was tied up in a big way.

"Master Tang, I am willing to devote myself to Daming until I die."

Yunshui Lord Li Xiaocheng expressed his loyalty to Tang Yin to his former lord, "After I become the lord, I will assist Daming to wipe out the Liaodong Jurchens in one fell swoop. From then on, the tribute to Daming will be doubled every year."

Li Xiaocheng was not a close relative of the royal family, he was very flattering to Li before, and it was also because he was not a threat that he gradually controlled part of the military power, but he turned against him earlier last night.

Li cursed on the opposite side: "A wolf's ambition can be punished!"

"Forget it. Haha." Xu Jing sitting next to him sat on a chair with a smug smile on his face.

Tang Yindao: "Mr. Yunshui, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said. If your new king knows that you came to see me today and told me these things, what do you think will happen to you? "

"Then I..."

Mr. Yunshui has a nervous look on his face, he is trying to drive himself to a dead end.

"As for who will inherit the Korean throne, I, Tang, have no right to decide. Even if it is not appointed by His Majesty Daming, he should have asked the Duke of Lai in Liaodong. I will truthfully report your achievements, so you go back first." Just wait." Tang Yin said.

Mr. Yunshui looked at Tang Yin, Xu Jing and a group of Ming soldiers, and then at Li who was opposite.

I thought that if Daming didn't reveal the purpose of his visit today, it might be Li who revealed it to the outside world... But now that Li is the deposed monarch, will anyone believe what he said?
"I have already prepared generous gifts for Mr. Tang and Duke Lai," Jun Yunshui said.

"No need!" Tang Yin got up and asked, "Go to discuss the successor with the North Korean empress, is there no news yet?"

"Come here." A guard said.

"Hurry up!" Tang Yin was already waiting impatiently.

……

……

After a while, Pu Yuanzong and Cheng Xiyan came to the Dazao Hall of Changdeok Palace.

When they saw that Li was still alive, and even yelled at themselves, they were still very nervous.

In case Daming wants to use Li as a bargaining chip and come back with a "restoration", they will be called traitors.

As for Tang Yin...he is not a Korean in the first place, they can unite in the rebellion, and they can go their separate ways in the end. Does the envoy of the Ming Dynasty still need to care about his position on the North Korean lord?

"I have already discussed the successor with the concubine, sir, why don't we take a step to talk." Park Yuanzong didn't dare to mention the matter of setting up a new master in front of Li.

Tang Yin said: "But it's okay to say."

When Pu Yuanzong saw it, he knew that Tang Yin asked him to say it in front of Li deliberately, and said: "The result of the discussion between the concubine and the officials is that Jincheng Dajun will succeed as the lord of North Korea."

"Traitor!" Li continued to scold.

"Gag his mouth." Tang Yin ordered to gag only at this moment.

Then someone blocked Li's mouth with a piece of blood-stained cloth, so that there could only be various humming sounds.

Tang Yin got up and looked at Pu Yuanzong and said, "I came to North Korea before, and it seems that I came to canonize the prince's son, that is to say... the prince's son was approved by His Majesty the Ming Emperor, why wasn't he in the list of candidates?"

candidate?
Not for you personally, you decide directly?Then escalate for approval?

Is there still going to be a three-in-two, two-in-one trial?
Tang Yindao: "Although Li has the crime of secretly colluding with Jurchen, but the crime is not fatal, he should be punished by exile. His son, that is, Wang Shizi, is still recognized by Daming. If you don’t report it, it will be against the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor. I didn’t come to North Korea to destroy your succession to the throne..."

Cheng Xiyan added: "Understood, how could the envoys of Ming Dynasty help the rebels?"

Pu Yuanzong glared at Cheng Xiyan, who do you think is the rebel?

"We're here to set things right." Tang Yin said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Park Yuanzong nodded hastily.

Tang Yin looked at the edict to abolish the establishment handed over by Park Yuanzong again, it seems that as long as he gets his nod, Jincheng Maharaja Li Yi can ascend the throne as the new lord, which is obviously not what Tang Yin wants to see.

"The king of Jincheng counts as one, the son of the prince counts as one, and then select a few people, and send them to Liaodong on a fast horse, where they will be seen by the Duke of Lai Guo." Tang Yin said.

Pu Yuanzong said: "His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the Duke of Lai will definitely see it. In fact, it is better to let you agree first, decide on the candidate first, and then it is not too late to ask for instructions. North Korea should not be left alone for a day, and it is easy to be attacked." Curse."

Tang Yin said: "I am in Hanyang City, and Lai Guogong is in Liaodong, who dares to create chaos?"

"what?"

Not only Pu Yuanzong, but also Cheng Xiyan and Li who was opposite were stunned.

What a Tang Yin...

You really have momentum.

How about taking our North Korean capital as your back garden?Come here to play prestige?Why are you so awesome?

But why... we can't resist at all?

"If you make a decision first, then ask for instructions. If His Majesty disagrees, do you still have to abolish the establishment?" Tang Yin was very firm, "Hurry up and draft the candidates. If everything goes well, you can pass it back and forth within seven or eight days. It's settled, it's over."
