MTL - First Prince of Ming Dynasty-Chapter 812 separate

  Chapter 812 established separately

  At the beginning of the seventh year of Hongwu, heavy snow covered all roads in Liaodong and Koryo, especially in Kaijing, the capital of the king.

  The gates are closed, and there is the faint sound of family members practicing, which frightens the desperate refugees around. It has been half a year since the streets and alleys of Kaijing have not heard the sound of hawking, and the whole city is full of decay.

   "The country is about to end, and it is the destiny."

  A short, fat man with a beard and a wide hat stood with his hands behind his back and sighed at the bleak scene: "It's a pity for four hundred years."

  Another thin person beside him smiled and said: "Why don't you try to hold the sky in your hands, mend the cracks in the sky, reorganize the rivers and mountains, and make immortal achievements."

   "It's too late, if it's just Li Chenggui and his like, but the name of the country is changed, what's the hindrance to us?"

   "And the heavenly kingdom intervenes, and I am afraid that we will repeat the road of Dali. It is difficult to preserve the foundation of our ancestors. We are truly ashamed of our ancestors and our children and grandchildren."

While the two were talking, countless masked soldiers suddenly rushed out from the intersection behind them. After carefully bypassing the two, they went straight to the closed high door and broke into it in a short while. The voice of resistance disappeared in a short while, and then The next step is burning, killing and looting.

  Small households can only gather together with orphans, widows, mothers, old and young, begging for God’s blessing, what else can they do?

   At the beginning, nothing happened, but as the high-ranking households had been looted, the murderous Jiashimen began to run around and kill, screaming and crying everywhere.

   "Follow the heavens to hunt down thieves, kill the son of the demon monk and sit in court as a false king, and honor Dingchang Lord as king!"

   "Kill! Break into the palace!"

  After burning, killing and looting, some generals began to restrain the soldiers, and gathered in groups towards the gate of the palace, but there was no reaction in the palace, and there were no soldiers and horses to respond to protect the king.

   Not long after, soldiers rushed into the palace like a broken bamboo. It can be regarded as not encountering any resistance. The young King Goryeo was beheaded in ignorance.

  Kaijing, Li Chenggui and Zhu Di led the army just arrived, neither of them was in a hurry to order an attack, because there was no need, those few companies were far more courageous than imagined, they moved ahead of time and stood in line.

Perhaps because they knew that they didn't want to leave too many families behind, they even took over the dirty work. This made Li Chenggui especially satisfied. After all, he wanted to stay in Korea for a long time, so he naturally needed some suitable friends. It's just a vote.

Zhu Di has grown a lot taller, and he is slightly taller than Li Chenggui sitting on the horse: "I heard that General Li married Miss Gushan Kang as his wife. The marriage contract was established."

  Li Chenggui cupped his hands towards the east and said with a simple smile: "They were all unattainable in the past, but now relying on His Royal Highness' support, it can be regarded as fulfilling the last wish of his first wife. Gao Enhoude will never forget it for a moment."

   "Speaking of it, I will have to be bold in the end, for Li Shi of Xingzhou..."

  Zhu Di interrupted with a wave of his hand: "There is no need to mention this matter. This king's marriage has been decided early. She is the daughter of the king of Zhongshan. She is chaste, quiet, and virtuous. She is not yet married, so how can she accept the outer room first!"

  Seeing that he was so determined, Li Chenggui had no choice but to stop mentioning this matter, feeling regretful and fortunate in his heart. The Li family of Xingzhou is Li Renren's family, and it also represents the several major families who rebelled in Beijing.

Regrettably, if the king of Qi agrees, then everyone will be a family. Goryeo and even Liaodong will be under control in the future, enough to completely establish a foothold in the new dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, there will be king Qi as a backer. The family has stretched for hundreds of years.

Fortunately, King Qi disagreed, so he is the undisputed core leader. The other big families have no one in the court, and there is no other way but to rely on him, but if they can work together, this force will It is enough to make His Royal Highness look sideways and entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

   Zhu Di also saw Li Chenggui's thoughts. The so-called temple little monster has a big wind. In the past two years in Korea, there have been few major battles, but he has seen all the intrigues and intrigues.

   It’s just that he really didn’t want to stay in Korea. As the news of the ocean-going fleet continued to come back, Zhu Di gradually understood his elder brother’s plan. Therefore, it is natural to look down on mere Goryeo.

   It wasn’t any other reason, it’s just that Goryeo was too close to Daming, and there was no room for expansion, and it wasn’t his credit that he was able to leave the country.

  In the future, he will use his own ability to build a country and earn thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for his children and grandchildren. Even if it is not as good as the Huatianbao of the Central Plains, it cannot be such a poor, poor and weak place.

   Therefore, it is really unnecessary to be unwilling to bind with the local forces of Korea.

  …

  In February of the seventh year of Hongwu, the original king of Changfu, the new king of Koryo, Wang Yao, went to the court to give a congratulatory table, and strictly stated that the previous king was not of royal blood.

   This matter should not be underestimated. After all, the previous king was also canonized by the imperial court, so the emperor sent officials from the Ministry of Rites as imperial envoys in accordance with the regulations.

  The imperial envoys rushed to Koryo at high speed. As soon as they arrived at the gate of Kaijing, the new king died suddenly. A group of Korean officials happily surrounded the imperial envoys and entered the palace to preside over the overall situation.

  The imperial envoy followed the rules, and according to the rules, planned to select the sons of the royal family from the two lines of Emperor Kangzong and Shenzong of Koryo as the heir, so that they could present the court's revision of the canonization will.

  But unexpectedly, these two clans have become extinct, and even the bloodlines close to these two clans are gone. There are many princesses and daughters left, but they are useless.

At this time, Li Chenggui, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, came out holding Wang Yao's edict, which stated that Wang's destiny was exhausted, and that the continuous disasters and man-made disasters in Korea today are a clear proof. original intention.

In the main hall of the court meeting, the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty stood in front of the throne with the imperial edict of the son of Ming Dynasty. The civil servants and generals of Korea knelt down and begged to play, saying: "The fate of heaven is over, the demon monks are ruining the country, the government is incomprehensible, bandits are everywhere, the people's livelihood is very difficult, and they are in danger. The king has a will. , relying solely on the heavenly dynasty, the virtuous will establish the country.”

  The imperial envoy stated clearly: "The kingdom of heaven should not easily interfere in the internal affairs of the foreign country. You should choose a worthy leader yourself, and wait for the emperor of Ming Dynasty. If you agree, you will be canonized as Weiguo, and the country and society will learn from it."

  Three days later, all the ministers elected Li Renren, saying that he was worthy to govern the country and the people.

  After another three days, all the ministers gathered in front of Li Chenggui's gate. Li Chenggui sighed and said, "The prosperity of the ancient kings must be due to the destiny. If you are not virtuous, how dare you be it!"

  After a stalemate for sixteen days, the queen personally led the civil and military elections, but Li Chenggui still stayed behind closed doors. Now the people of the aristocratic family are talking about it, and they have made all the three speeches and three concessions. If you are not in the position, do you really want to be a pure minister?

   And Li Chenggui in the mansion was also very anxious. According to the plan, the king of Qi who was supposed to appear has not yet appeared, and at this time he has not received the order of the prince.

  Although other things were carried out according to the plan, without the endorsement of His Royal Highness, the throne was really not dared to sit down, and he even had a plan in his heart to escape to sea.

   At this time, Zhu Di was playing chess with Jiang Side full of doubts: "Since the elder brother has already ordered Li Chenggui to establish the country, why do you still drag me?"

   "Your Highness, why worry, soldiers and horses have already gone to the states to suppress the rebellion, Beijing and China are just a matter of face, let them wait, they will wait, otherwise they will not be arrogant in the future."
