Gwanghaejun's remarks expressing his will did not calm the concerns of everyone in North Korea.
After all, he was once a prominent figure in North Korean politics, and the shadow he created still remains in the hearts of many people.
It can be said that most of the politicians occupying high positions in North Korea are mortal enemies of Gwanghae Jun.
When Injo was rebellious, it was these people who worked hard to overthrow Lord Gwanghae.
Now that the former monarch, who had disappeared for more than ten years, suddenly appeared in front of people, people in North Korea could not help but feel wary.
"Your Highness, Lord Gwanghae is cruel and tyrannical and disrespectful to the Heavenly Kingdom. He is not a good master."
Jin Sangxian secretly visited Zuo Menggeng and made a speech.
Although Lord Guanghai chose neutrality between the Ming Dynasty and Hou Jin Dynasty, he seemed to have nothing to do with Xia Kingdom. But Jin Sangxian still used this incident as an example, hoping to make Zuo Meng understand better that Guanghaijun is not an easy person to control.
"Didn't Lord Guanghai say that he only wants to be a commoner? If that's the case, why do you need to create more complications?"
Zuo Menggeng's reply made Jin Shangxian unable to grasp his pulse.
In his opinion, Lord Guanghai's appearance on such an occasion should be the result of Xia Guo's support.
In other words, the Xia Kingdom should have deliberately wanted to make Gwanghaejun the new king of Joseon.
But at this moment, what Zuo Mengeng said didn't seem to mean that.
Even though Kim Sang-hyun had been involved in politics for decades, he was a little confused at this time.
"Your Highness's wishes..."
He tried his best to test, but Zuo Mengeng said it very straightforwardly.
"I made it clear to you at the beginning that Xia Guo will not interfere in the selection of the king of North Korea. It was the same before and it will be the same in the future. Do you understand? As long as you wait for the public and be loyal to the country and don't make a big fuss, Xia Guo will be happy to see it. become."
Zuo Menggeng drew a bottom line for the selection of the North Korean monarch.
That means anyone can be the king, no matter how you choose him. The only requirement is that there can be no drama, let alone bloodshed.
Because once there is blood, it means that it is no longer possible for the various factions to be in harmony, and North Korea will also fall into civil strife.
It is at the time when we are dealing with the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Li Zhu puppet regime that if civil strife breaks out among Jin Sangxian and others, it will inevitably affect the overall situation.
Through Zuo Menggeng's statement, Xia Guo completely occupied the moral high ground and emerged from the chaos.
What else can Kim Sang-hun do?
Naturally, I was very grateful for Xia Guo's attitude, and at the same time, I also understood that they had stolen the heart of a gentleman with their villain's heart.
Anyway, if the Xia Kingdom does not express support, it is absolutely impossible to regain the throne with Lord Gwanghae's popularity.
In that case, it can no longer be called a threat.
Jin Sangxian's worries were gone. After returning, he immediately discussed closely with Hong Yihan and others to think of ways to break the situation.
Chen Xi was also hostile to Guang Haijun's appearance.
After all, they were all Guanghaijun’s enemies in the beginning.
Everyone knows that once Lord Guanghai is restored, it will be difficult for them to escape the fate of being liquidated.
It's just that the situation faced by the Shen system is much more difficult than that of the Gold system.
Their favorite candidate, Haiping Jun Li Ji, has been assassinated, and they no longer have the right cards in their hands.
No matter how you look at it, in this struggle for power, you have already fallen into a disadvantage.
How to break the situation, Shen Qiyuan thought hard, but couldn't find any way.
"My lord, Duke Qiangu and Duke You'an are here to visit us."
Shen Qiyuan couldn't help but frown.
"Why did they come?"
Jin Yu and Song Siyeol formed their own clique, and their relationship with Shen clique was not amicable. At this treacherous time, the leader of the Song Dynasty came to visit him, and the purpose was obviously not simple.
"Jun Haiping is dead. Who will be the leader of the country? It may not be as Master Shen wishes. The Xia Kingdom has already stated that it will not interfere. We are very worried about the future of Master Shen and all the wise men!"
Song Shilie Yunshan talked a lot, but the meaning was quite obvious.
"But I don't know what Mr. Song's high opinion is? You might as well say it clearly. You and I are conspiring to protect the country, so there is no need to stay away from it."
Shen Qiyuan understood.
The purpose of Jin Yu and Song Shilie's coming was to win over Shen Xi.
There are currently three factions in North Korean politics, with the Jin faction being the strongest, the Shen faction second, and the Song faction being the weakest.
Under such circumstances, if you want to fight against the Gold faction, it might be a good idea for the Shen faction and the Song faction to unite.
He is a qualified politician and feels that this alliance is indeed good.
Seeing that he was quite interested, Song Shilie was very excited.
"In the past, Japan invaded and the country collapsed. At a time when life and death were at stake, it was fortunate that someone stood up and united the people, and the situation was stabilized. Now that Korea is divided between the north and the south, the future is uncertain, and we need such talents to unify the country. I wonder if Mr. Shen thinks so?"
Shen Qiyuan was dumbfounded and then yelled angrily.
"You two are also the leaders of our Westerners. How can you forget what the foolish king did in the past? Aren't you afraid of making the same mistakes again?"
He heard it.
Jin Yu and Song Siyeol actually wanted to elect Gwanghaejun as king.
As the most active member of Injo's family at the time, Shen Jiyuan was extremely hostile to Gwanghaejun. He knew even more clearly that once Lord Guanghai was restored, it would be his end.
He could not accept the idea of the Song Dynasty under any circumstances.
Seeing how excited he was, Jin Yu quickly spoke out to comfort him.
"Now that Mr. Haiping is dead, it is difficult to find out who is the murderer. A country cannot be without a king for a day, and I am afraid that Mr. Shen will not be able to wait for that day. As for Mr. Shen's concerns, we also feel the same. Here is a letter, Lord Shen, after reading this, I believe he will change his mind."
Jin Yu took out a letter and delivered it to Shen Qiyuan.
Shen Qiyuan was doubtful and opened the letter in person.
What he didn't expect was that this letter was actually written by Lord Gwanghae himself, and even used Lord Gwanghae's seal.
The content of the letter is very long, but the core meaning is that Gwanghae-kun has indeed deeply reflected on his mistakes back then. He also swore a vicious oath that he would never bear any grudge against Shen Qiyuan and everyone in the Shen family because of what happened back then.
This is not a letter, but a petition.
Shen Qiyuan deeply understood that as long as he had this letter in his hands, he and Shen Xi would have a foolproof talisman.
It was in this way that Lord Gwanghae conveyed his greatest goodwill to him.
What to do, Shen Qiyuan was caught in a difficult decision.
"It's obviously my brother's idea, how can it be blamed on me?"
Lu An was a little embarrassed and dissatisfied with Zuo Mengeng's actions.
Zuo Mengeng laughed.
"Although it was my idea, you personally participated in dangerous situations and tested the poison yourself, and you have just resolved the poison of smallpox that has plagued the people of the world for thousands of years. Who can deny your achievements?"
"Then...then you can't give me such a high honor!"
When he learned that he would be awarded the honor of being a national scholar, Lu An was completely confused.
Is he really worthy of this Xia Kingdom's most supreme title in the academic field?
