Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 609 Locking the North Korean Mission
As soon as Xue Suoyun, Minister of the Nanjing Police Headquarters and Governor of Water Transport, was taken away, the cabinet's order arrived shortly afterwards.

The water transport was opened immediately, and the stalled traders were able to avoid greater losses.

As soon as the North Korean envoy Linping Dajun heard that the water transport had been reopened, he hurriedly found Xiang Guotai, the right servant of the Nanjing Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

"Xiang Shilang, what's the matter? Why is the water transport opened again? Could it be that the Yangzhou government and the Nanjing government have found my seal?"

Xiang Guotai, the right servant of the Nanjing Ministry of Foreign Affairs, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, be safe and don't be impatient. The Ministry has not received the news yet, so I will ask someone to ask."

"You told me to be safe and not to be impatient, why should I be safe and not to be impatient! The seal was lost by you, and it was stolen by you Ming people. Now I can't find it after searching for a long time. Why are the people of your country so immoral? Why do officials of your country treat me, a North Korean envoy, so slowly!"

"Not only that, but the official is only allowed to live in the post station, and can only eat the meals of the post station. This gentleman is here to pay tribute, not to be a hostage!"

The North Korean envoy Linping Dajun said and threatened: "When I see His Majesty the Emperor of your country, I will definitely participate in your cabinet. Just wait and see!"

Xiang Guotai, the right servant of the Nanjing Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was really afraid that the North Korean envoy Linping Dajun Li Xuan would say that he was wrong in front of Emperor Chongzhen, so he had no choice but to beg for a while: "Don't be angry, my lord, I will go and ask myself. "

And this time.

People from Dongchang came in first: "Where is Xiang Guotai, the right servant of the Nanjing Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

Xiang Guotai, who was about to lift his feet to go out, saw the people from Dongchang, his face turned pale with fright, and he sat down on the ground, leaning on the official hat chair, and was about to get up to salute: "Master, what do you want me to do with you?" What are you doing?"

"By order, I will take you away, and I will talk to His Majesty if I have anything to say!"

As the people from Dongchang said, they put a chain around Xiang Guotai's neck, and Xiang Guotai wanted to cry without tears: "I don't know what crime this official has committed."

"Don't you understand what the crime is, the crime of contemptuous of this envoy! This official, I want to expose, it is he who almost caused me to delay the trip of the tribute, and even blackmailed me a sum of money!"

North Korean envoy Li Xuan said very proudly.

He thought that the people from Daming Dongchang in front of him had arrested Xiang Guotai because they were not generous enough to his North Korean mission, so he started talking about it.

The people in Dongchang didn't bother to talk to Li Xuan, after all, they were only responsible for recruiting people.

As soon as Xiang Guotai was taken away, the Korean envoy Li Xuan could only stay at the post station these days, but he was still very anxious to find the seal of the maharaja he had lost, so he went to the Yangzhou government office in person.

But at this time, the prefect of Yangzhou and Tongzhi of Yangzhou had already been taken away because of unauthorized access to water transportation, so no one dared to care about the North Korean envoy Li Xuan.

Soon, the cabinet also arrived to arrest the North Korean envoy.

"You are the North Korean envoy Linping Dajun Li Xuan?"

Yi Lianqi, a member of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Beijing Police Headquarters, walked up to Li Xuan.

"It's my lord. How long does the Ming cabinet plan to keep me here? In addition, my seal is stolen. Don't you deal with it!"

North Korean envoy Li Xuan asked loudly.

Yi Lianqi, a member of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Beijing Police Headquarters, has received instructions from Ma Shiying and Ruan Dayue. He knows that His Majesty the Emperor does not like or even dislikes the Korean mission. He just slapped him with a slap:

"What kind of bastard are you, you dare to talk to me like that!"

Snapped!
Li Xuan's face was in pain from the beating, and he was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why this was the case. Seeing Yi Lianqi hated him, he gritted his teeth: "How dare you hit me! Come on!"

At this time, Li Xuan roared, and a group of North Koreans behind him all stood up.

"Why do you want to fight us? Want to start a war?"

Yi Lianqi smiled coldly, and waved his hand: "Surround!"

Immediately, two hundred Ming policemen appeared in front of Li Xuan armed with live ammunition.

At the same time, Yi Lianqi said again: "Take my official seal to see the nearest Guards garrison. The Koreans in Yangzhou Prefecture are not envoys, but enemies who intend to invade our Ming Dynasty. They are now holding guns and preparing to control them." I hope that your Ministry will bring troops to suppress it immediately, and the cabinet will issue an official letter to His Majesty and the Generalissimo's Office! The enemy situation is urgent!"

Li Xuan, the North Korean envoy, did not expect that the official in front of him was not panicked at all, not to mention dispatching [-] officers and soldiers, he would go to transfer troops again.

At this moment, the North Korean envoy Li Xuan was also a little panicked. He didn't want to have any military conflict with Daming in the territory of Daming, so he had to order his own people to retreat, walked in front of Yi Lianqi, and bowed his hands:
"My lord, is there some misunderstanding here? We are here to pay tribute, not to declare war on Ming Dynasty, but why did you only send us a servant to send us to Beijing in the first place, and only provide you with the treatment of my lord, even now? Even beating me, is it impossible for your country to treat envoys like this?"

"So what, you can go back, I didn't ask you to come," Yi Lianqi replied with a smile. Seeing that the North Korean envoy had surrendered, he didn't ask anyone to ask the local army for help.

"You!" North Korean envoy Li Xuan pointed at Yi Lianqi angrily, but he had to admit that his own North Korean country really couldn't do anything to Daming, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it: "I don't believe your emperor is the same!"

"Take them all down! Lock them up and go to Beijing. Let's deal with the detention center first, and then listen to the arrangements from above!"

Yi Lianqi didn't bother to talk nonsense with the North Korean envoy Li Xuan. After giving the order, he also pointed at Li Xuan: "It's best to be honest. If you dare to resist in the slightest, treat it as an enemy. We are not afraid of your country. Declare war on me, Ming."

"You, why are you taking us?"

North Korean envoy Li Xuan was very angry, but he did not dare to resist, because he knew that North Korea was indeed not Ming's opponent, but he still couldn't help asking.

"The closure of water transportation has caused serious losses to the people. Although you were not in charge of this matter, it was caused by your North Korean mission. You spent tens of thousands of silver dollars in my Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nanjing. Not only did you drink flowers and wine, but you also molested good women and even threatened them. The government deals with civilians, and you can be punished based on these. This is not your North Korea, so you can't do anything! My Ming Dynasty did not give you extraterritoriality!"

As Yi Lianqi spoke, he locked up Li Xuan and other North Koreans. Li Xuan didn't know what extraterritoriality was, but he knew that if he was locked up and taken to Beijing like this, he would lose his dignity, so he couldn't help shouting:
"You can't treat an envoy of a vassal state like this, you are too domineering and barbaric!"

"I'll talk to His Majesty if you have anything to say, but I can assure you that if you still have this attitude, you will die even worse!"
