Han Zhiyuan, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, only smiled faintly when he heard Song Shilie asking the North Korean king to kill him. He did not show any panic. He believed that Li Di would not be stupid enough to listen to Song Shilie and kill himself as a Ming official.
Li Di would indeed not listen to Song Shilie's advice and wanted to kill the Ming Dynasty envoys and then completely break with the Ming Dynasty.
Even though Song Shilie, the head of the civil service, was now willing to move to the Eastern Dynasty in America.
Li Di knew that he would rather offend some civil servants who rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, but he could not offend the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty could really make him disappear from this world, even if he ran to America.
Li Di was quite proud of this and thought to himself: "You scholar-bureaucrats abandoned me mercilessly at the beginning, and now I will abandon you mercilessly!"
"Your Majesty! Please kill the envoys of the Ming Dynasty quickly!"
Song Silie continued.
Song Shilie was indeed panicking at this time.
He didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would do something like this, which would force him to need his king again.
Originally, like other civil servants, he regarded his king as an abandoned son.
"How outrageous! The Celestial Empire is the suzerainty of our dynasty. How can our dynasty kill angels without permission and disobey His Majesty the Holy Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty!"
At this time, Li Di angrily scolded Song Shilie.
"Your Highness's loyalty is truly astonishing. I will report to Your Majesty what Your Highness said today."
Han Zhiyuan laughed because of this.
"Thank you angel."
Li Di replied at this time, and then said: "You, Song Aiqing, are the first person on this list who dares to participate in the buying and selling of the people of the above country. You have disappointed me! Others don't know it, but you should know it. I The reason why the dynasty can survive today and not be destroyed by the Japanese slaves of the three islands is because the people of the above country fought desperately for our country! Therefore, I have already given the king's order and should be respectful to the people of the above country! Unexpectedly , you Song Qing actually complied with it on the surface, but acted like this behind your back, and you deserve to have your nine clans destroyed! Because you knew the law and broke it!"
Li Di's words were quite righteous for a moment.
Anyway, it was his scholar-officials who abandoned him first, so he didn't care about showing favor to the Ming Dynasty and betrayed his own scholar-officials.
Therefore, not to mention how happy he is now, he is very willing to cooperate with Mingguo in doing things.
In Li Di's view, he was forced to work hard for the Ming Dynasty by his ministers who were not loyal to him!
After saying that, Li Di ordered: "Remove Song Shilie from his official position, put him in prison, detain his nine clans, confiscate his home, and prepare to be taken away by the officials of the Celestial Dynasty. There must be no mistake! Otherwise, he will be punished with the same crime as the criminal!"
"According to the order!"
Li Di's imperial guards came over at this time.
At the same time, Li Di added: "As well as other people on this list, those in the palace must be arrested first and treated the same as Song Shilie!"
Song Shilie couldn't help but shout: "Your Majesty, you can't ignore our country and become a puppet of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty! Please don't be a puppet of the Ming Kingdom!"
"Your Majesty! Please don't be a puppet of the Ming Kingdom!"
…
Other North Korean ministers who were also worried that their names were on the list also shouted.
Li Di ignored it.
In his opinion, if he did not become the puppet of the Ming Dynasty, he would become the puppet of these civil servants and officials, and by becoming the puppet of the Ming Dynasty, he might be able to save himself and his crown prince.
"The right counselor Yin Shandao was also dismissed and detained, and his nine clans were also detained!"
Li Di continued to give instructions.
For a moment, these Korean civil servants became completely uneasy.
Song Shilie even shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! How can you be so shameless? You are betraying your country and seeking glory!"
Yin Shandao even called him by his name: "Li Di! Are you doing this worthy of the ancestors of our dynasty?!"
"The Ministry of Criminal Justice sentenced Jin Sijun! He was also dismissed from his post and detained, including his nine clans!"
Li Chen continued to order regardless.
But most of the ministers who were read would only beg for mercy.
For a time, Li Di disposed of about 30% of the officials in the entire Korean court, most of whom were high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
Han Zhiyuan, an official of the Ming Dynasty, just wanted to laugh at this. He had to admit that if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that a country's civil servants could actually force their monarch to side with the enemy and force the monarch to betray the country.
So, whose dynasty is this Li Dynasty?
…
"ah!"
A few months later, Song Shilie was taken to the Ming Dynasty Prison. His fat belly was burned hard with a red-hot iron by Jin Yiwei, causing a lot of oily flowers to come out. He himself screamed in agony and had to say: :
"I said, I said, I have harmed Han people. The Han maid I bought at that time was tortured to death by me..."
Song Silie had to confess everything.
Other Korean nobles are no exception.
After Zhu Youxiao received the report from the Third Law Division on the interrogation of Song Shilie and others, he approved: "He will punish Liu Jin! Then, he will also throw it away to feed the dogs, and his bones will be burned into ashes and scattered in the sea."
While Song Shilie was being taken to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had also mobilized all its troops to go to North Korea.
Yang Tinglin, the first Governor of Lelang and the Governor of North Korea, also landed in Mokpo with the troops of General Li Dingguo of the Ding Dynasty and began the process of officially annexing North Korea.
Because Li Di sided with the Ming Dynasty and dealt with Song Shilie and other domestic civil servants and officials, he could be considered a complete break with the scholar-official class in his own country.
Therefore, the North Korean ministers who were not punished because they were not involved in the buying and selling of Han people. Those who were more powerful and willing to leave their hometowns had organized fleets in advance to follow Crown Prince Li Zhen to the Americas, while those who were less powerful or unwilling to leave their homes also directly He ignored Li Di and consciously maintained the operation of domestic rule so that he could continue to make money and resist the Ming army, but he no longer reported to Li Di.
Li Di was so happy and relaxed that he simply became drunk and dreamed. He even wrote an edict asking the Joseon Seongjeongyuan, who was responsible for drafting the edict, to draft the decree that he would relinquish his country's name and serve only as a commoner in Lelang Province of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the civil servants of the Seongjeongwon of Joseon directly refused to carry out the king's order on the grounds that it violated the ancestral law.
In order to survive under the rule of the Ming court in the future, Li Di simply ran to the Ming concession area where Han Zhiyuan was located, and said in tears:
"Angels are wise! I don't want to give up my royal title or give up my royal power unless I have it. It's really because of those rebellious officials and traitors who don't want to do it!"
"I have already written the edict myself, and I am waiting for the officials of the Chengzhengyuan to draw up the edict, but they refuse to do so. They defy my order and say that my order goes against the laws of our ancestors. In this way, you must also understand that this king has already Not a king! Woohoo!”
Han Zhiyuan understood this and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will report all this to Your Majesty truthfully and let Your Majesty know your loyalty! From the beginning to the end, those who rebelled against the Holy Emperor and betrayed the people were those rebellious ministers and traitors. Your Highness has nothing to do with it!”
"Angels are indeed understanding people! So, thank you very much!"
Li Di burst into tears.
"What?! The Lord took the initiative to express to the officials of the Ming Dynasty that he was willing to give up his country title and give up his royal power. However, it has not been possible to achieve it now because we have blocked it?!"
Song Junji, the judge of Li Cao, and other North Korean ministers were shocked when they learned that Li Di had gone to see Ming officials and cried that they were the ones who refused to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
Song Junji even slammed the table angrily because of this, saying: "This is so unreasonable! It is unheard of for a master to commit treason!"
"Shameless fool!"
Yu Qi couldn't help but cursed, and proactively suggested: "Masters, let's change the king, otherwise it will not be conducive to resisting the Ming Dynasty!"
