Seal of the city, martial law, curfew, arrest of important harem ministers and house arrest of Qing envoys, a series of actions by the Joseon palace caused a storm in the city, and the government and the public were shocked. Although many people did not know what was going on, they also knew that something big was going to happen, something big. The kind of earth-shaking event.
The whole city was in panic.
The dignitaries are each thinking about the little ninety-nine in their hearts, but there is also a group of people who are calm and calm, sitting and watching the changes.
In the backyard of the rice shop near Guangxi Gate, Liu Shichang and Zhang Ye were sitting under the tree, drinking tea leisurely, looking at the white clouds in the sky: "Shopkeeper Liu, the weather is going to change."
"Let's just change. When it's sunny, let's bask in the sun. When it's cloudy and rainy, we'll hold an umbrella." Liu Shichang smiled indifferently, and Zhang Ye chuckled: "Shopkeeper Liu has a good attitude."
Liu Shichang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The unpredictable weather is not something we can control. It's not that we have a good attitude, but that we have nothing to do."
Zhang Ye changed the subject: "Although there is martial law outside, it seems calm but in fact there is an undercurrent surging secretly. The Tatars have been operating in North Korea for several years. In Seoul, there are only a few hundred people as big as the keel, but secretly they still don't know. There are so many young people, and it is inevitable that they will not take the opportunity to cause trouble. We cannot let it be distracted, we must be careful, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and don't be fooled by wild cats."
Liu Shichang nodded: "The Tatars have been operating for several years, how can there be no one in secret? Now that Dragon Bone is under house arrest, they will not sit still and wait for death. It's just that Li Zhu is not a simple person. Now that they are prepared, they can't afford to make big waves. As you said, we should be more careful and let the brothers stay quiet these days and not show any signs of others taking advantage of us."
Zhang Ye hummed, looked around, and whispered: "There are Koreans inside and outside this rice store. Is it reliable? I heard that this place is not the property of Shopkeeper Liu..."
】
Liu Shichang smiled: "They are Koreans but not Koreans. Although this place is not my territory, it is very reliable."
Zhang Ye was startled: "I don't understand."
"This is the Ming family's property." Liu Shichang chuckled. Seeing that Zhang Ye was still confused, he sighed and said, "Do you know Chen Youliang?"
"Do you know the Emperor of Chen Han who competed with Emperor Taizu for the world? What does this have to do with him?" Zhang Ye was still confused. Liu Shichang chuckled: "That Emperor of Chen Han has been dead for hundreds of years. Naturally and He has nothing to do with him, so do you know where the descendants of Emperor Chen Han are?"
Zhang Ye thought for a moment: "It is said that after Emperor Taizu conquered the world, Chen Youliang's descendants surrendered and were given high-level officials. I don't know what happened after that."
Liu Shichang nodded: "Since you know Emperor Chen Han, do you know Emperor Daxia?"
Zhang Ye was startled: "Ming Yuzhen?" He was suddenly startled: "Could it be that this place belongs to the descendants of Ming Yuzhen? Hey, shopkeeper Liu, I am not very talented and knowledgeable, so you can explain to me."
Seeing that Zhang Ye was in high spirits, Liu Shichang smiled lightly: "I have nothing to do, so I will tell you some gossip."
This gossip is not long. Lao Zhu was not the only one who rebelled in the late Yuan Dynasty, but in the end there were only a few companies that made the company big. In addition to Lao Zhu, there were also Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and Ming Yuzhen. But according to regulations, they could only One company went public, so these companies started mergers and acquisitions.
Zhang Shicheng would rather die than surrender and refuse the merger, but the result was a disaster.
Chen Youliang and Ming Yuzhen also refused at the beginning. In fact, they also caused great obstacles and threats to Lao Zhu's Da Ming Group's listing. However, they later did not fight Lao Zhu. Chen Youliang was shot and killed in the battle of Poyang Lake, and Ming Yuzhen died early due to illness, and both of them passed the throne to their sons.
The two old foxes were both rivals of Bu Lao Zhu, not to mention the two children, not to mention the children were still young. For example, his son Ming Sheng was only ten years old when Ming Yuzhen died.
So without much effort, the two children had no choice but to accept Lao Zhu's acquisition, and Lao Zhu didn't treat them badly by granting them a title!
Of course, this kind of person has no gold content, and with Lao Zhu's urine, this kind of person has no say or decision-making power in the board of directors. He is just a piece of paper and can be burned at any time.
But as long as you are honest and enjoy the glory and wealth, it will be fine. However, there are people with low emotional intelligence. This person is Chen Youliang's son Chen Li. After all, he is too young and has no government. If he has grievances in his heart, he can't keep his mouth shut. Pulling Mingsheng to tell Lao Zhu why he treated them badly, all kinds of dissatisfaction...
Although Ming Sheng was a few years younger than Chen Li, he had a stable government, so he just smiled and said nothing.
But although you didn't say anything, you laughed. With Lao Zhu's urine, you couldn't even laugh.
So as soon as those complaints reached Lao Zhu's ears, of course he wanted to kill him, but he felt that it was inappropriate. Firstly, it was easy to put people's opinions into practice. Secondly, many places had not been cleaned up in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. If you get killed, you will lose your credibility.
So after much thought, he decided to send them to North Korea, which was still called Goryeo at that time. Lao Zhu wrote a letter to the King of Goryeo and sent the two of them there, not as officials or for the people.
As a result, these two brothers were exiled to North Korea. That year, Chen Li was twenty-two and Ming was promoted to eighteen.
But although they are both the second generation of founders, their destinies are very different.
Chen Li is a person that even a dog would dislike. He did very poorly in North Korea. He even had no guarantee of food at one time. He was extremely poor and his descendants gradually became the people.
But Mingsheng was different. This young man had a wealthy family, was handsome, talented, eloquent and sociable. In addition, he was the second generation of the emperor. He was particularly popular among the high-ranking officials in North Korea. It didn't take long for him to become the chief minister of Goryeo, Yoon Hee-rang. His son-in-law had a house, a car, and fields in Kaicheng. Later, his four sons were also given various false titles and posts. If they were not officials or people, then... they would be businessmen.
Therefore, after hundreds of years of deep cultivation in Korea, the Ming family has already blossomed everywhere. Not to mention how powerful they are, they are definitely rich and powerful. They also moved from Kaesong, the original place of exile, to Seoul. In later generations, which is now South Korea, the Ming family There are tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of descendants!
But no matter how the Ming family spread in North Korea, they were still from the Ming Dynasty, and after hundreds of years, their resentment and hatred towards Lao Zhu had gradually disappeared, and they were even somewhat happy and grateful.
Why do you say that?
Just look at how many heroes Lao Zhu later killed in one breath. Those founding heroes who had made great contributions to him would kill them when he said it, and exterminate their clans when they said they would. If Chen Li and Ming Sheng hadn't been killed at that time, Exile, the consequences can be imagined! There is also the current prosperity of the Kai Zhi San Ye family.
Therefore, although after hundreds of years, generations of Ming and Korean people have intermarried and become no different from Koreans, they always cherish their homeland, remember their ancestral precepts, and think about one day returning to their homeland.
You know, even today, thousands of people from Mingsheng's descendants come to Chongqing from South Korea to worship their ancestors. Not to mention how much they looked forward to their homeland hundreds of years ago.
Therefore, during these hundreds of years, they have always cherished their motherland and had an indescribable feeling of closeness to the people of the Ming Dynasty. Some descendants went to the Ming Dynasty to do business, worship their ancestors or settle down, but the main branch has always stayed in North Korea, because They cannot go back without Mingting's permission.
Therefore, like the Qing court, they also have inextricable connections with the Ming court's official or private parties, both covertly and covertly. Especially in the past ten years or so, North Korea has recognized the Qing court as its godfather, and the Ming family has secretly helped a lot. Busy, of course, these are not officially recognized. For example, Liu Shichang received secret help from the Ming family, otherwise he would not have been able to build such a large foundation in a foreign country.
Liu Shichang kept talking for nearly half an hour, and Zhang Ye listened with interest and emotion: "The Ming family is very affectionate and loyal to the Ming Dynasty." Liu Shichang smiled: "To be precise, it is the love for the homeland. They may not have the love for the imperial court... …, as far as I know, Ming Sheng’s last wish is to return to his roots one day…hehe.”
Zhang Ye knew that some things should not be brought to the table, so he changed the subject: "The Ming family has been helpful to Shopkeeper Liu. Could it be that they are asking for something?" Liu Shichang smiled bitterly: "I am just an ear and an eye, just a minion." He said After a pause, he said again: "You just want to set up a line from me."
Zhang Ye knew this without too much explanation. If the Ming family wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty, they would need the court's nod, and the person who could get the court's nod was someone who would play an important role in the court. Who is the most suitable person?
No one is more suitable than the popular eunuch of Fried Chicken East Factory.
Coincidentally, Liu Shichang and these undercover agents were affiliated with Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei was under the jurisdiction of Dongchang. The boss of Dongchang was Chang Yu.
If you want to ask someone to do something for you, you can't do it with nothing!
Therefore, the Ming family helping Liu Shichang is equivalent to helping the Jinyiwei to help the Ming court. At this time, the Ming court really needs the help of this kind of private power in North Korea. Therefore, once the Ming family makes a contribution, it means that the Ming court owes a favor, and the future will be easy to say. .
