"Old minister, I am also here for the foundation of my Li Dynasty! Please give me a clear warning from the king!"
Song Shilie replied excitedly.
"No!"
Li Di stubbornly yelled and said: "Don't think that this king doesn't know that you have issued an order to increase taxes in my name, and you are guilty of exorbitant levies, but you can line your own pockets! At the same time, you can use the increased taxes to enrich your own pockets." I take most of it and put it into my own private treasury; at the same time, I will also say that I am unethical and do not care for the people, so that the people have no way to live! If we want to impose more taxes, you can raise them yourself!"
"The king's words really make me feel ashamed! I really don't have this intention. I have always been loyal to your majesty. The sun and the moon can teach me! Your majesty! Woohoo!"
Song Shilie was not angry, but cried and kowtowed: "I have no intention of forcing the king. I just ask the king to think more about the foundation of our Korean kingdom before he wants to torture the people of my dynasty again. As for the old minister, If there is anything that dissatisfies the king, I am willing to die!"
Li Di's breathing became rapid.
But now that the country is in danger, he is too lazy to argue with Song Shilie anymore, so he impatiently says: "Retreat! I said it is not allowed, it is not allowed!"
"Your Majesty, please do it right! At this time, we can only suffer the common people one more time. Does Your Majesty really want to torture your own Crown Prince in the future?!"
Song Shilie was reluctant, shouted loudly, and then continued to ask.
Li Di was stunned for a while after hearing this.
He admitted that what Song Shilie said was right. After all, Crown Prince Li Yan was also his son. If he went to the Eastern Dynasties in America and did not have enough money and food to support him, how could he compete with the Japanese who moved there?
As for the people here, they all belong to the Ming Kingdom sooner or later. Even if you do this, you will really starve to death, and it will have no impact on your crown prince.
And he had already been reprimanded by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty for being immoral and immoral. Even if he was not allowed to do so at this time, he would not be able to escape death. He might as well do something for his son.
So, Li Di said: "That's fine! That's right!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Song Shiyeol and other Korean civil servants sincerely flattered Li Di.
Li Di was not happy at all, and even asked like a humble person: "Can I leave now?"
Song Shilie and others did not dare to answer.
Li Di took the initiative to leave the hall with a face drawn.
"Kings!"
At this time, the court official Guo Shijian suddenly shouted.
"What else are you forcing me to do?!"
Li Di broke down and yelled loudly. After yelling, his whole body was trembling.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty! I also ask Your Majesty to issue an edict from the Central Committee to strictly prohibit the officials and people from retaliating against the Han people in the DPRK because of the Ming Dynasty's attempt to destroy our kingdom, lest the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty become furious and not allow Korea to survive in America! Even if the Ming Dynasty wants to destroy our kingdom, we will not be allowed to survive in the Americas!" The country wants to annex Korea, but we still cannot break with it, and we still have to recognize its suzerainty! After all, the power of the Ming Dynasty affects the whole world!"
Guo Shijian replied.
"Yes, this is true. The people of the above country should treat them with courtesy and protect them well, so as not to give the Ming Dynasty an excuse to completely destroy Korea."
Song Shilie agreed.
Li Di wanted to cry now. When the king reached this humiliating point, he felt that he was the only one left.
Li Di had no choice but to nod his head and said: "Go and draw up a decree. Anyone who offends the people of the Great Kingdom, regardless of high or low, will be detained and handed over to the Great Kingdom for disposal!"
Han Zhiyuan, the official of the Ming Dynasty stationed in North Korea, and Jin Yiwei in North Korea, etc. have begun to spread the notice and organize Han people who are doing business or having other affairs in North Korea to temporarily evacuate from the colonial areas and concession areas of Ming Dynasty in North Korea, such as Busan, Mokpo and Jeju Prefecture. .
Moreover, Han Zhiyuan also met with Li Di on the day after Li Di received the decree from the Ming Dynasty, and expressed his request that Li Di and his ministers should not threaten the safety of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Di quickly stated that he had issued an order to protect the Han people.
Han Zhiyuan felt relieved and said, "This is the best!"
Although the ruling class of the Korean Kingdom showed great weakness in front of the powerful Ming Dynasty, even when the Ming Dynasty was about to perish, they did not dare to offend the Ming Dynasty or break up with the Ming Dynasty.
But this cannot conceal their reactionary nature.
Only the ordinary people of the Joseon Kingdom could truly feel the cruelty of officials when they continued to collect taxes.
In addition, these people also vented their pent-up anger on the Han maids who were trafficked to North Korea.
Snapped!
"I can't deal with those decent Han people who are well-known and well-off outside. How can I deal with you, a Han who was sold privately?"
Song Shilie, who had forced his king not to escape to America, was whipping the Han maid he had bought at a high price from the Ming Dynasty international human traffickers with a whip and sneered at the same time.
The Han maid screamed, and then she could only cry and hold her head.
She didn't dare to look up at Song Shilie's ghost-like face.
"Raise your heads! You hateful Han people are the ones who have caused the noble nobles of Korea to leave their homes in the future. It is you who have caused misery to us. If I can't hurt you today, it will be difficult to quench the hatred in my heart!"
Song Shilie insisted on forcing the Han maid to raise her head, and continued to beat the Han maid, getting more and more excited with the beating.
For a moment, when he saw the Han maid shaking her head and refusing to raise her head, he simply grabbed her hair and banged it against the wall, causing blood to flow from her. He cursed, "Damn it! You Han people deserve to die!"
But because of this, the Han maid was hit to death after being hit several times.
Song Shilie looked at the blood stains left on the wall, smiled proudly, and then ordered his servant: "Drag it down and feed it to the dogs! Then burn the remaining bones, sprinkle them into the river, and say they belong to the mansion." The maid is suffering from tuberculosis! In addition, go to the Ming merchants who specialize in smuggling Han people in the city and buy some young Han people. I will take them to the Eastern Dynasty to play with. Otherwise, how can I relieve my boredom when I am homesick there? "
"yes!"
In any society, there are always people who are only interested in profit, are not afraid of any risks, and have no morality, so much so that they dare to harm their own compatriots and even the women and children of their compatriots.
It was also these Han people who abducted and trafficked Han children and women into the hands of foreign nobles and local chiefs.
Because these people are willing to buy Han people at high prices.
Especially after the Ming Dynasty strictly cracked down on beggars, the phenomenon of secretly smuggling abducted Han children and women became very rampant.
…
"We stopped that car. The little girl in the car had fainted, but she was still driving out of the city instead of taking her to the hospital in the city! She is most likely a human trafficker!"
On this day, Zhu Youxiao, who was conducting a private visit outside the capital city incognito, discovered a suspicious phenomenon related to human traffickers and hurriedly gave instructions.
"yes!"
The Jin Yiwei who followed him hurriedly rode after him.
But at this time, when the car saw Jin Yiwei coming to stop him on horseback, the car accelerated and rushed out instead of stopping immediately, and it seemed that it was not afraid of the consequences of hitting Jin Yiwei to death.
When the Jin Yiwei who blocked the car saw this, he hurriedly withdrew to the side and aimed at the tires of the car and shot. In addition, the Jin Yiwei who followed behind immediately gave chase on horseback.
Seeing that this was even more deceitful, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Send a signal to close the city gate!"
