After Xu Youzhen and the others sat down, they expressed their greetings to Li Hongwei, the young ruler of North Korea, on behalf of His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Hongwei did not understand Chinese, so he was translated by his closest ministers.
Li Hongwei kept a smile on his pale face, as if he saw his mother-in-law coming to make decisions for him.
After saying these scene words, Xu Youzhen began his performance.
"Your Majesty asked Your Highness whether the state affairs are going smoothly and whether there is cholera among the traitors." He launched his big move as soon as he came up.
When the translator heard what Xu Youzhen said, his face looked a little frightened, and he looked at Li Yao.
Li Yao nodded calmly and asked the minister to translate directly. He was following the procedures now and had already done the important work himself.
After getting Li Yao's consent, the close minister translated Xu Youzhen's words.
And the North Korean ministers in the palace also listened very clearly.
All eyes turned to Shouyang Lord Li Yao, wanting to observe the changes in Li Yao's face.
But Li Yao had a calm look on his face. He must have been confident and already knew what happened today.
Li Yao was calm and composed, but many officials were disheartened. Could it be that Xu Youzhen from the Ming Dynasty had been bribed by Li Yao last night.
Xu Youzhen went to Li Yao's mansion, and the two talked in detail about the whole night, which was spread by Li Yao. Therefore, almost all the officials knew about it. This was also to build momentum for themselves and warn those who have evil thoughts. I can handle it. Come on, don't mess around.
After Li Hongwei, the leader of the country, heard the translation, a look of panic appeared on his pale face.
He sat on the throne and looked at the courtiers below, but none of these courtiers dared to look their monarch in the face and give their monarch support.
"Thank you, His Majesty the Ming Emperor. There are no treacherous ministers in the Korean court, and everything goes smoothly." Li Hongwei said softly.
The nearby minister also translated this statement to Xu Youzhen.
Xu Youzhen's heart moved. It seemed that Li Yao now had a very strong control over the court.
Even those who wanted to resist did not dare to say a word at this time, even their king.
However, if everything goes well for you and there are no traitors, then my coming here will be meaningless.
We still need to give those people some courage.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, when I was in the capital, I had already heard that there were traitors in North Korea. His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was benevolent and philanthropic and did not want to have national disputes in North Korea, so I appointed my official to come to North Korea, and the Ming Dynasty also This is to raise tens of thousands of elite soldiers to enter the Jurchen gathering place. On the one hand, they will wipe out the Jurchens and complete the Ming Dynasty's national policy of changing the land into a stream. On the other hand, it is to uphold justice for His Highness. Your Highness does not need to be afraid. Everything in Korea will be taken care of by the Ming Dynasty. You can make the decision." Xu Youzhen said loudly.
Li Yao felt something was wrong in her heart.
Why does the Xudu Censor's words give him a special feeling, as if he insists on calling his Highness the treacherous minister by name.
Then Li Yao looked at Zhan Yang and Cao Jixiang who were sitting next to Xu Youzhen.
It seems that the existence of Zhan Shilang and Cao Jixiang made Xu Du Yushi very jealous. He must do a good job in surface work. This is also a way for Li Yao to comfort himself.
As for the elite soldiers Xu Youzhen mentioned, Li Yao knew about it last night. The Ming army marched on a large scale and began to attack the Jurchens' camp. This shocked the Korean border troops to show respect for the Ming Dynasty king's division. , the border troops retreated one after another and retreated to Pyongyang Prefecture, on the line with Hamhung Prefecture.
North Korea imitated the Ming system. Most of these frontier troops were strong Korean men who lived with the Jurchens. They farmed on weekdays and were drafted during wartime. Because North Korea had not fought a war for many years and its armaments were lax. Except for important towns, all military horses No fighting ability.
The Ming army carried out a large-scale raid on the Jurchen ethnic group, but these Koreans were frightened. They were afraid of being attacked by the Ming army. When they retreated, they took their families with them. There were more than 50,000 people in Pyongyang Prefecture, and four more in Hamhung Prefecture. More than ten thousand people.
If it were in the past, this kind of border matter would have caused an uproar in North Korea.
But now Lord Shouyang has killed all the important ministers, and there is already a lot of talk in the court. He does not speak, and few people know about the military affairs. Even if they know, no one dares to bring it up in the court.
If you want to protect the leader of the country, the first step is to protect yourself...
The ministers translated all Xu Youzhen's words to Li Hongwei.
Li Hongwei was even more at a loss. He wanted to stand up and point at the nose of Lord Shouyang and say that this is the traitor of our country, but the timidity in his heart still prevented him from speaking out. He turned his attention to his uncle Shouyang for help. On you.
Lord Shouyang nodded secretly, very satisfied with Li Hongwei's performance.
"Censor of Xudu, His Highness has already said that there are no treacherous ministers in the court and everything goes smoothly in the country. The kindness of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to our country will not be forgotten and we will serve it from generation to generation." Li Yao replied loudly.
Xu Youzhen glanced at Li Yao.
"I am talking to the leader of North Korea. I am also asking about the leader of North Korea, not Lord Shouyang." Xu Youzhen did not save any face for Li Yao.
After listening to this, Li Yao was not angry at all.
The censor of Xudu is really wise. He targets me everywhere in the court just so that he can say a few more words to me after returning to the Ming Dynasty.
Ask the little king again.
But this time Li Hongwei still followed Shouyang Jun's words and said: "There are no treacherous ministers inside and no troubles outside."
After hearing this, Xu Youzhen nodded and started the main event.
"Your Highness, the Jurchen people were protected by the Ming Dynasty, but they did not want to repay their kindness. They wantonly invaded our important town in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty and killed innocent people of our Ming Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was furious and sent the heavenly army to encircle and suppress the Jurchen tribe. All the Jurchens in the three guards of Jianzhou were brought to justice. , more than 30,000 people were killed.”
"However, two of the culprits, Dong Shan and Li Manzhu, fled and their whereabouts are still unknown. In order to find the two, Master Wang crossed the Yalu River with his army to find the culprits and wipe out the Jurchens."
"The leading general, Wuyanghou Shi Heng, discovered that Korea had no restraint on the Jurchens, so His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty issued an order to request the two places where the Jurchens lived, Ping'an Road and Anning Road, to completely eliminate the Jurchens' stubborn diseases."
"The imperial edict states that in order to protect the common people in North Korea, the Korean people must evacuate from the two places, and all the Jurchens in North Korea must be returned. No soldiers and horses are allowed to be left in the two places. This move is for the people of Ming Dynasty and Liaodong, and for the people of North Korea. Make a good living." Xu Youzhen finished speaking.
Following Xu Youzhen's words, the ministers continued to translate.
After the officials listened, they immediately began to whisper to each other.
Some people think that although those two places are vast, they are barren land. What is the use of leaving them? It is better to give them to the Ming Dynasty, comply with the national policy, and look to the Ming Dynasty in everything.
But some officials believe that these two places are indeed barren land. But after Ming Dynasty gets these two places, will it shift its attention to Pyongyang Prefecture and Hamhung Prefecture? Without Anning Road and Ping An Road, what will happen? These two important towns are undefeated, but the voices of these officials cannot be heard in the mainstream of North Korea, which has always adhered to magnanimism.
Li Hongwei didn't know much about An Ning Dao or Ping An Dao, but he knew that it was the imperial edict of His Majesty the Ming Emperor. He couldn't refute it. He glanced at his uncle Shouyang Lord and said, "Everything must be obeyed by Shouyang Lord. arrange."
Li Yao looked at Xu Youzhen, and then said: "Censor of Xudu, those two pieces of land were never owned by the Goryeo Kingdom. They were lands given by Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty. Now His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to punish the family. Slave, take back two pieces of your homeland, North Korea dare not refuse, and will act in accordance with the imperial edict of His Majesty the Ming Emperor."
Zhan Yang, who was sitting aside, was muttering in his heart. Wasn't he helping the king punish Shouyang Jun? Why was the Jurchen involved?
Could it be that these two pieces of land are what His Majesty has been eyeing from the beginning to the end?
And Cao Jixiang looked at Xu Youzhen's performance and exclaimed that it was wonderful. Xu Du Yushi was indeed the best debater in the Ming Dynasty. Even in a foreign country, his momentum was not lost at all...
