Chapter 947 943 [Angel Questions]
Nanjing.
Liu Shunqing tremblingly walked into the palace wall, followed the female officials and guards, and walked through the huge Forbidden City.
He has become the spiritual leader of the Chinese people, and there is another leader with real power. The real leader is called An Jingyuan, with three hundred troops, and is stationed outside Hanyang City.
The two had already agreed that if the righteous act was successful, they would join hands to support the new king. At that time, all the country's thieves will be punished, and the court will be exchanged for blood. Liu Shunqing will be the first minister of the literary class, and An Jingyuan will be the first minister of the martial arts class.
After arranging domestic missionary affairs, Liu Shunqing quietly left North Korea by boat.
He did not have the status of a diplomatic envoy, so he could not meet the emperor smoothly. So he ran to Honglu Temple and reported that the king of North Korea wanted to rebel and was actively expanding his army to prepare for the Northern Expedition.
Honglu Temple did not dare to neglect, and reported it to the emperor immediately.
Finally came to the Hall of Yingmin, and Liu Shunqing prostrated himself on the ground from a long distance: "Liu Shunqing, a grassroots citizen of the Joseon Dynasty, long live His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven!"
Zhao Han said: "Be flat, give me a seat."
Liu Shunqing was brought to the emperor and sat down. He was so courteously treated that he was so moved that he wanted to cry, wishing to die to repay the grace of heaven.
Zhao Han asked: "The North Korean envoy left only last month, and I have condemned the envoy to accompany him, and formally canonized the new king of North Korea. Why does the North Korean king want to rebel?"
Liu Shunqing said: "The former king of Joseon was expanding his army to prepare for war. Now the new king has expanded his army by another three thousand. The court's monarchs and officials all wanted to recover Baozhou, and they clamored for the so-called Northern Expedition all day long. Back then, it was the army of the Celestial Dynasty who ravaged North Korea. Only by stationing in Baozhou can the peace of the Korean people be kept. The Celestial Dynasty has shown us a kindness for rebuilding Korea. Baozhou should be dedicated to the Celestial Dynasty. Today’s Korean monarchs and ministers do not think of the mighty kindness of the emperor. They even try to raise troops in vain. !"
"The kings and ministers of North Korea, do you really want to take back Baozhou?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.
"Of course!" Liu Shunqing said firmly.
Zhao Hancai didn't believe such nonsense, lent 10,000 guts to North Korea's monarchs and ministers, and they didn't dare to really start a war with China. The so-called Northern Expedition was nothing but a cover for a power struggle.
Of course, even if it’s a pretense, it must be condemned!
Zhao Han ordered: "Send the fast boat to chase the canonized envoys, don't give the king's golden seal, instead reprimand the North Korean monarchs and ministers for being disrespectful. If this matter is not explained clearly, the Celestial Dynasty will not canonize the North Korean king again!"
Liu Shunqing was a little disappointed that China did not send troops, but he still flattered: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhao Han said: "You came from thousands of miles to report the letter. I think you must be a loyal person, and you will be given a brocade robe. You can stay in Nanjing temporarily, or you can go to Jinling University to study. All study fees are free."
This is cultivating the leading party.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Shunqing was overjoyed.
If he can get a diploma from Jinling University and befriend a great Confucianist in China, he will definitely be a master of Confucianism after returning to China, and he will gain unparalleled prestige among scholars.
But said that the canonized envoys were caught up, and the envoys kept their faces and continued to sail forward with North Korean officials.
When they arrived in Hanyang, the king of Joseon was arresting people everywhere.
Those North Korean rebels knew to keep it secret at the beginning, but more and more people from all walks of life are connected in series, and it is inevitable that people will leak information.
After the plan was made public, the North Korean monarchs and ministers were furious, regardless of which party, the two groups of nobles joined forces to suppress it. They are fighting to the death by themselves. It is a matter that belongs to the nobles, and other classes are not allowed to mess with it.
As the chaotic party caught more and more, the two classes of nobles were very embarrassed.
Because most of the rebellious parties who dance the most fiercely are the sons of the two classes of nobles. Some bloodlines are far away, but they basically didn’t make the fifth server, and even if they did, they still have close ties with the main family—this kind of middle-class group has the most embarrassing status, their life is far better than that of ordinary people, but they are on the edge of power , broke his head and wanted to enter the inner circle, but was firmly suppressed by the nobles and could not rise.
"All ransacked homes and beheaded!"
"You can't ransack all the houses, just punish the culprits."
"Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished if they get it, and no one will be allowed to escape!"
“There are too many entanglements, which may lead to great changes.”
"What big changes can be made? Just beheaded!"
"..."
How to deal with the chaotic party, the two classes of nobles themselves quarreled.
With the prosperity of trade between China and North Korea, many concubine families are business agents of nobles. Most of these concubine families are normal, and not all of them participated in it, only a few rebellious sons planned to make trouble quietly.
All killed, who will do business to make money?
Moreover, several major factions accused each other, saying that the concubine family of the other party was the mastermind. Trying to take this opportunity to weaken the opponent's affiliated forces, they quarreled all day long, locked up a lot of rebels in the prison, and don't know which one to kill for the time being.
This is a farce.
Correcting parties and doing things is tantamount to farce, and dealing with rebellious parties is also tantamount to farce.
But one thing is certain, the new ideas have spread, and in the countryside far away from Hanyang, countless gentry, scholars, and country officials have been ignited. Their strength is too weak, and they are in a state of disunity, so they dare not make trouble at all, but they can continue to spread this kind of thought.
Thoughts are unstoppable, unstoppable!
The two groups of nobles quarreled endlessly, but they also produced some results. For example, Liu Shunqing, who took the lead in making troubles, had to ransack his family and exterminate his family. Of course, the extermination of the clan only destroys the common clan, and cannot implicate any noble relatives.
Le Diandian Liu Shunqing, who was studying at university in Nanjing, didn't know that all the men in her family had been killed, and all the women in the family were sent as slaves.
Many other rebels fled north in panic, and ran to Baozhou to seek the protection of the Datong Army.
An Jingyuan, who commanded 300 troops outside Hanyang City, escaped so fast that his wife and children couldn't care less, and hid in Baozhou City shivering. Just this kind of thing, and those group of concubines who are powerless, even if they rebel for a hundred years, they will never succeed.
Dang Chongjun, the envoy of China, came to Hanyang to see the chaos, and secretly sent his men to inquire about the situation, while he ate and drank with North Korean officials.
Waiting for the matter to be clarified, King Li Wei of North Korea has finished bathing and changing clothes, and is waiting to receive the edict of the canonization of the king.
North Korea held a grand canonization ceremony. The king and two groups of nobles were all present, lined up and waiting for the messenger of the Celestial Dynasty to appear.
"Meet the angel!" Li Wei stepped forward to greet him in person.
Dang Chongjun stood still when he saw Li Wei, looking at him gloomyly.
Li Wei felt apprehensive and angry, he was the king of a country after all, how could he have been treated like this?
Li Wei squeezed out a smiling face: "Angels, please come in."
"In my opinion, there is no need for this," Dang Chongjun said. "There is a righteous citizen in North Korea, Liu Shunqing, who went to Nanjing to report against you and others for instigating an army. The Holy Son of Heaven does not believe in one-sided stories, so he sent me to inquire about the details. If there is no such thing, It will still be canonized as usual. If there is such a thing, let me go back the same way, and change to the Datong Army to question the crime!"
The North Korean rulers and ministers were shocked, and Li Wei quickly said: "There is absolutely no such thing!"
Dang Chongjun raised his voice and scolded: "Since there is no such thing, why did Liu Shunqing's family be exterminated and his family ransacked? What are you trying to hide!"
Li Wei was speechless, and didn't know how to explain for a moment.
Leader Zheng Taihe came out and said: "So that the angels will know that a group of rebellious parties have emerged in our country, intending to kill the king and seek rebellion. Then Liu Shunqing is the leader of the bandits. He fled to Nanjing in fear of crime. He is by no means a righteous man."
Dang Chongjun angrily scolded: "You say that a rebellious party is a rebellious party? If a commoner sues the government and reports a bully who fishes the common people. Before the government investigates, the bully will kill the whole family of the common people and accuse the common people of being a gangster. You say Will the government believe such nonsense?"
Li Jingxi, the leader of Dunning, came out and said: "Angel Rong Bing, there is more than one of these rebellious parties. They have already confessed, and Liu Shunqing is indeed the leader of the rebellious party. If the angel does not believe it, you can go to the files. The confessions of the rebellious parties are consistent with each other." superior."
"How do you know that you are not tortured into tricks? How do you know that you have not arrested a group of righteous people?" Dang Chongjun asked.
The North Korean ruler and ministers were instantly speechless.
They have confessions, they have evidence, but what if the Chinese envoys don’t believe it?
Dang Chongjun threw the scepter in his hand on the ground, and asked in a sharp voice: "Yimin Liu Shunqing, report you to expand the army by three thousand. Is this possible?"
Li Wei opened his mouth, swallowed his saliva, and said: "There is indeed an expansion of the army, but it is not against the Celestial Dynasty. It is because of the unrest in North Korea, and more soldiers are needed to maintain the urban and rural areas."
Dang Chongjun raised his halberd and pointed at Li Wei's nose and asked, "Are you clamoring for the Northern Expedition?"
"There is absolutely no such thing!" Li Wei's voice was crying, he was really scared.
Dang Chongjun said: "The last North Korean ruler was dishonest. He wantonly expanded his army and built firearms. The emperor of the heavenly dynasty was kind and ignored your petty actions. But you don't know how to repent. You, the ruler, have just succeeded to the throne and have not yet Being conferred by the Celestial Dynasty, you dare to expand the army by three thousand again. There is no civil unrest in North Korea, who are you going to deal with when you expand the army? Tell me!"
Song Shilie came out and said: "Angel Rong Bing, there is indeed civil unrest in our country, hiding in the countryside."
"Nonsense, you wait to explain to the artillery!" Dang Chongjun turned and left after finishing speaking.
The North Korean monarchs and ministers wanted to keep them, but they were stopped by the soldiers of the mission. No one dared to use force against the guards of the mission, so they could only watch them leave Hanyang City.
Li Wei was almost paralyzed by fright, looking around and asking: "What can I do? What can I do?"
Song Shilie shouted: "Put down the original party, they are the ones who made the noise for the Northern Expedition!"
"Yes, kill the original party and send his head to Nanjing to apologize!"
"The original party should be punished to thank the people of the country!"
"..."
It's started again, it's started again, and it's still playing party.
Of course, the former party officials would not sit still, they also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is easy to kill us. But if we are killed and our heads are sent to Nanjing, won't it be confirmed that our country intends to start the Northern Expedition? This is a serious crime of treason!" "
Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and the other ministers couldn't refute, because what he said was so reasonable.
Song Shilie also said: "The original party may not be killed, but it must be punished for the crime of bewitching the emperor. Please, Your Majesty, expel these original parties from the court, and they will never be used in this life!"
"Please expel the original party!"
One minister after another knelt down.
Li Wei originally planned to use the original party to suppress the faction in power in the court.
But this kind of scene, Li Wei couldn't hold back at all, and said with hatred: "Zhu, Zhu, I will expel all the original party according to your wishes! But what should we do when the army of the Celestial Dynasty comes?"
No one answered, no one could answer.
