【0527 Korean Meeting】
Princess Zhenming began to weep.
President Wei is not afraid of being reasonable, he is afraid of spilling or crying.
Especially when I can't see the beautiful woman crying, the pear blossoms bring rain, Chu Chu's pitiful and moving appearance, and I can't do it immediately when I see it.
"I asked myself! I promise you that you will not hold your husband accountable again! What do you want, you say! If I can do it, I will do it for you! "President Wei, this is already a very concession, yes, what else to compensate? But I don't know why, he really wants to give Princess Zhenming some compensation.
Although Princess Zhenming is 7 years older than Wei Bao, she is already a 21-year-old mature woman.
But President Wei's psychological age is already between thirty, so, unless it's a real mature woman, otherwise, it's all Lori here in President Wei.
Especially about twenty, it is more lethal.
However, Wu Xuexia, Zhao Jinfeng, Sister Fang, Wang Qiuya, Xu Rui, and Fan Xiaolin are all fifteen or sixteen years old.
It was the first time that President Wei had a deep conversation with a beautiful woman in her twenties.
"Are you going to be held accountable? Even if my husband verbally contradicts the envoys of the suzerain, he will not be beaten like this. Princess Zhenming originally wanted to say that she was beaten into a waste, but after all, she was a thin-skinned woman, and she couldn't say it, thinking that her husband would be a waste person in the future, she cried even more sadly.
President Wei sweated, "The fight has already been beaten!" I have the sincerity to comfort you, if you don't say it, I can't do anything about it! You're not going to beat me up, are you? ”
After Wei Bao finished speaking, he felt a little like laughing, so he forcibly held back.
Although Princess Zhenming was angry, she still felt a little funny when she heard Wei Bao say that she beat him, but unfortunately she was not in the mood to be happy at all now, and glared when she heard the words: "In the words of Ming Guo, you are less cat crying mouse fake mercy!" I want you to apologize publicly to my husband! Kneel down and apologize! ”
Wei Bao's head swept through three black lines, waterfall sweat, I publicly apologize to Hong Zhuyuan? Still want to kneel down and apologize? How did you come up with it? Your brain circuitry is amazing, isn't it? If I kneel down and apologize to Hong Joo-won, will I still have the face to come to North Korea to do things?
Don't talk about doing things in North Korea, I'm afraid that this matter will be transmitted back to Daming, and I won't be able to raise my head to see people in Daming in the future, and it is absolutely impossible to apologize!
"Presumptuous! Our son is not at fault, in order to maintain the majesty of the Ming Dynasty and punish the thugs, it is reasonable and legal! Lin Wenbiao couldn't help but scold from the side.
Under normal circumstances, when the president speaks, others do not speak.
However, President Wei now seems to dislike cruel words more and more, and when the president is attacked, the people around him should come out and still have to come out. Otherwise, President Wei was forced to say cruel words in person, or even swear words, which would not damage the president's elegant temperament and demeanor.
Princess Zhenming knew that kneeling was definitely impossible, but she insisted: "It is necessary to apologize in public and restore my husband's reputation!" ”
"Don't ask me about this, I advise you to ask your nephew's permission first! I'm afraid that the North Koreans can't stand my apology! Wei Bao said coldly.
Wei Bao said half of his words, but he didn't finish speaking, he originally wanted to say that even if he was willing to apologize, Li Liang didn't dare to accept it.
Also, although Wei Bao came here under the banner of Sun Chengzong, and he didn't have anything to do with the Ming court, he regarded himself as the representative of the Ming court everywhere.
Princess Zhenming was stabbed by Wei Bao's words, and she was a little in a trance, she did not have Li Liang's consent, and ran to find Wei Bao without permission.
At this time, someone from the president's guard came over and whispered to Lin Wenbiao that a Korean minister had been ordered by Li Yu to let Princess Zhenming leave Nanyuan.
Lin Wenbiao said to Princess Zhenming after obtaining the president's consent.
"You know if what you are doing is right or wrong! Don't think that the minister of the suzerainty can cover the sky with one hand, and can bully the weak! Seeing that you are so young, you must be the son of some powerful family! There will always be a time for your retribution. After Princess Zhenming finished speaking, she didn't wait for Wei Bao to answer, but left angrily and walked very simply.
Wei Bao sighed silently, he didn't regret beating Hong Zhuyuan, it was his hobby to beat the stunned Qing who liked to pretend to be forced. It's just that Wei Bao didn't think that he would hurt the stunned family. Especially such a beautiful woman.
After eating at noon, Li Liang sent someone to invite Wei Bao to meet in the main hall in the afternoon.
"Got it." Wei Bao said indifferently.
The North Korean minister bowed deeply, and then bowed and retreated, very polite.
"When you meet, you meet, what are you going to do in the main hall? Is it possible that I will meet with all the ministers? Wei Bao asked Kim Neiguan: "Moreover, isn't the Korean dynasty the same as the Ming Dynasty?" Isn't it all early in the morning and in the morning? Why in the afternoon? ”
"It is also possible to have a court meeting in the afternoon, and the king can temporarily increase this according to the situation, and there is no problem. What is the intention of letting Gongzi meet with all the ministers, I don't understand, it stands to reason, it should be to summon Gongzi alone, at most, it is to lead the government, the left and right to discuss the government, and the ministers of Liucao, these high-ranking officials at the top are on the side, and it is almost the same. However, it may also be to show the grandeur of the child. ”
"Well, I guess I also want to look grand and please Childe." Lin Wenbiao also expressed his opinion.
Wei Bao nodded, he thought the same way, "Let's go!" ”
When they arrived at the main hall of the Imperial Palace, which was the place where Yi Liang temporarily convened the court meeting, Seoul was occupied by the rebels, and he could only work in Gongju.
North Korea is a small place, but the number of officials is enough to shock President Wei.
Wei Bao didn't expect that there were so many people, although he didn't count them carefully, but he knew at a glance that there were no less than a thousand people!
This is still Gyeonggi officials, and at least they should all be officials above the fifth grade, this is a living and bloated institution, right?
It won't be Zhuge Liang's tongue and the Confucianism, they are all here to scare me, right?
President Wei has really never seen such a big scene, there are so many people, it's really exciting!
Wei Bao made up his mind, although it is unlikely that anyone would dare to scare him, but if there is really any possibility of losing face, it is a big deal to leave with a pat on the buttocks, and walk away, it is impossible to lose face, mmmm!
Thousands of richly dressed North Korean officials stood on both sides, filling the hall to the brim, unable to stand.
President Wei's clothes are still only served by the people of the Ming Dynasty, but they are also very luxurious, this time he did not wear a Xiucai student uniform, but wore a white Suzhou thick satin.
In addition, President Wei's appearance is explosive and his temperament is outstanding, although he is not an official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, he is also aura enough, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the authenticity from the fake just by their appearance.
Moreover, President Wei never said that he was representing the Ming Dynasty, he only said that he was a disciple of Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, and as for the rest, they were all made up by the Koreans themselves.
Wei Bao entered the main hall and stood in the center, still not speaking first, and first greeting the Korean king Li Liang.
Li Qi knew this young man's style, thinking that he was so arrogant and domineering because he was an envoy of the Ming Dynasty and might have a very prominent family background.
Therefore, Li Liang had to speak first: "Please come to the envoy, first, it is convenient for my minister of civil and military affairs to express my loyalty and love to the Ming Dynasty to the envoy." Second, I hope that the envoy can help to raise some points after understanding the current situation of our dynasty. Third, I hope that after knowing the loyalty and difficulties of our dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the envoys can respond to the Ming court after returning home, officially canonize me as soon as possible, give me an official name, and give me some help to the court, and give me some difficulties and understanding. ”
Wei Bao wanted to smile, but forcibly held back, and said indifferently: "I will." ”
When Injo ascended the throne, the Westerner Party became a party in power because of the dominance of Injo anyway, but Injo learned from the disadvantages of the Dabei faction's monopoly of the government during the Gwanghaejun era, so while relying on the power of the Westerners, he also used the Nanren Party (Li Yuanyi, Zheng Jingshi, Li Shengqiu, Li Minqiu, etc.), the Xiaobei faction (Nanyigong, Kim Xinguo, etc.), and even the Dabei faction (Li Qingquan, etc.) who did not participate in the "Abolition of the Mother's Court", and recruited the "mountain forest" Confucian scholars represented by Kim Changsheng and Park Zhijie to maintain the balance of the political situation.
The "party struggle" characteristics of the Injo Dynasty were not obvious, so the main contradiction in the political situation at that time was the contradiction between the meritorious forces and the non-meritorious scholars.
Even within the heroes, there are antagonisms, such as the opposition between Jin Jin and Li Gui, Li Shibai's father and son, and the opposition between Jin Zidian and Shen Qiyuan. Injo adopted a strategy of dissenting theories to maintain his royal power.
The most symbolic measure taken by Injo to strengthen the royal power was to worship his father, Jeongwonjun Li Ji.
After Renjo anyway, Gwanghaejun was deposed and expelled from the royal system, and Renjo succeeded to the throne by Concubine Inmu, so he directly inherited the throne of his grandfather Seonjo.
Although Renjo still wanted to posthumously honor his father as the king, due to the opposition of Confucian scholars such as Jin Changsheng, he only posthumously crowned him as the king of the courtyard when he succeeded to the throne.
Renjo's biological mother, Qiyun Gong, was not in good health, and the imperial court debated over how to give Li Liang's biological mother a title, and Renjo, Li Gui, Cui Mingji, and most other meritorious heroes advocated the standard of the son as the parent, while the non-meritorious scholar advocated the standard of the latter as the biological parent.
At this time, Renjo's foundation was not stable, and they all made compromises.
This time, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty came, so Li Liang wanted to take this opportunity to mention this matter again.
On the one hand, he used the limelight of the envoys of the great powers to suppress the ministers who opposed him, and on the other hand, he also wanted to take the opportunity to see the attitude of the Ming Dynasty government towards him.
Li Liang played a cautious trick here, borrowing his parents to achieve the goal of canonizing himself as soon as possible.
Isn't the canonization of his parents the same as his own canonization?
"I don't know what the envoy thinks about posthumously crowning my father Dingyuan Dayuan Jun as the king of Yuanzong, and my mother Qiyun Gong Gu clan as the queen of Renxian?" Li Kun's Chinese is very standard and fluent.
Wei Bao felt better than he did.
Wei Bao looked at the Korean ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, most of them were expressionless, but Wei Bao can now see some clues from the expressionless faces!
Wei Bao knew very well that Li Liang was strengthening the royal power by honoring his parents.
Wei Bao's purpose in coming to North Korea is to gain power, and his main target is not Li Liang, but to weaken Li Liang! Gain a subordinate power among the ministers, use this as a ladder, and gradually control Korea through political and diplomatic means, supplemented by military means.
Wei Bao saw that most of the ministers seemed to be opposed to Li Yu's proposal, so he said without thinking: "I have no authority to say anything on behalf of my Ming court in this matter, but personally, I agree with your approach!" Although you have not been canonized by the Ming Dynasty now, you are not yet the official king of North Korea! But you have already begun to exercise your power as the king of Joseon! After a person has power and wealth, he should first think of his parents, which does not violate the filial piety of Chinese Confucianism! It is a king and should uphold the right path! Understandable! ”
When Li Wei heard this, his eyes couldn't help but widen, he originally just wanted to mention that if Wei Bao could be a little biased towards him, he would already be very satisfied, and in the future, he would have a certain basis for talking to the Korean ministers about canonizing his parents!
Li Liang didn't expect that Wei Bao's answer would be so clear? So openly supporting yourself?
The corners of Li Liang's mouth twitched happily, revealing a smile that was not obvious, but it was difficult to hide: "Thank you, Lord Minister, for clearly stating your opinion." Same as I thought. ”
Li Gui, one of the ministers of the Westerner Party, coughed, "Lord, the matter of posthumously sealing Dingyuan Dayuan Jun as the king of Yuanzong and Qiyun Palace Gu clan as the queen of Renxian, can we wait for the Ming Dynasty to officially canonize the lord before talking?" ”
Li Liang was displeased when he heard this.
Not long after he came to power, although Li Gui was the minister of the Westerners' Party, and the Westerners' Party was a meritorious party that supported him to come to power, there were also various contradictions within the Westerners' Party between these meritorious ministers!
For example, there is a conflict between Li Gui and Jin Jin of the Westerner Party, and Li Ju relies on and trusts Jin Jin more, so Li Gui often raises objections!
And Li Gui's own influence, prestige, and connections in the Westerners Party are stronger than Jin Jin.
"The canonization of parents by the ancestors, and the canonization of the ancestors by the Ming Dynasty, is originally the same thing, what's the harm in mentioning it, now that we know the attitude of the Ming envoys, isn't it possible to provide a basis for our future affairs?" Jin Jin immediately turned on the mode.
Wei Bao knew very well that the people who supported Li Liang naturally hoped that Li Liang would strengthen his royal power and sit firmly on the throne.
People who don't support Li Kun will hope that Li Kun has always been unjustifiable, and they don't want Li Kun's parents to be sealed.
This was followed by an infinite pattern of quarrels between the various factions of the Korean ministers, and the more they argued, the happier they became, as if they had completely forgotten that there was an outsider at today's court meeting - the prince of Daming Wei.
Wei Bao was completely relieved, because he seemed to have changed from the protagonist to a supporting role all of a sudden, and many times, Wei Bao didn't like to be the protagonist, but just liked to exist as a bystander, as a praying mantis catching cicada yellow finch behind the yellow finch.
Successful people are generally not babbling from beginning to end, always rushing to the front, that kind of person usually dies quickly, Wei Bao knows this very well.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Li Kun always allowed a group of ministers to quarrel, and only when their voices gradually became quieter did Li Kun interrupt.
"Your Excellency, can you give us some guidance and advice on the current situation around Korea?" Li Liang said to Wei Bao.
Wei Bao completely understood what Li Liang meant today, that is, the meaning of a senior leaders exchange conference in later generations.
However, this kind of high-level negotiation in later generations is generally very private, is it okay for the two giants to chat in a small room? You're putting me together with thousands of ministers, isn't it?
The relations between North Korea's neighbors are very complicated, and they are basically similar to the situation in southern Liaoning! It's even more difficult.
Therefore, the issue of diplomacy has always been the focus of the work of the Joseon king, and it is the same for everyone.
During the reign of Injo, with the rise of the Later Jin, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Korean dynasty, which lasted for more than 200 years, also came to an end.
One of the righteous names of Injo at the time of the Anyway was that Gwanghaejun was ungrateful and deceived the Ming Dynasty, so Injo showed a more pro-Ming posture after succeeding to the throne.
However, the Ming Dynasty believed that Renzu had usurped the position of the legitimate king Guanghaijun canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and was unwilling to recognize the throne of Renjo, and even had the idea of "condemning the crime".
After Renjo succeeded to the throne, he played the Ming Dynasty in the name of Concubine Renmu (Princess Zhaojing), informed Renjo of the situation anyway, and sent Li Qingquan to the Ming Dynasty to ask for the seal.
There is no follow-up on the Ming Dynasty for the time being, I don't know if I forgot it, or if it was delayed as always, anyway, the efficiency of the Ming court has not been high.
However, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Korea did not become an alliance of common hatred and hatred due to the threat of the Later Jin, but on the contrary, they were secretly suspicious and guarded against each other.
During the Injo period, the most difficult issue between the Ming Dynasty in Korea was the Donggang issue.
The Ming Dynasty used Dongjiang Town to contain the Later Jin Dynasty and connect with North Korea opened its capital on North Korea's Chundao (Phi Island), which has always been regarded as a bane by North Korea.
However, when Renzu succeeded to the throne, he needed to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty and relied on the assistance of Mao Wenlong, the general soldier of Dongjiang Pingliao, so the relationship on the surface was quite harmonious, and Mao Wenlong also played the Ming court three times, making great contributions to Renzu's request for the title, and Renzu erected a monument to Mao Wenlong in Anzhou in April of the fifth year of the Apocalypse (1625) on the eve of the canonization.
However, from the very beginning, the Injo regime judged that Mao Wenlong did not have the strength to contain Houjin, and could only bring trouble to North Korea, and Mao Wenlong's subordinates themselves also had illegal behaviors such as forced buying and selling, looting North Korea, etc., so the relationship between the two quickly turned tense.
Renzu instructed Marshal Zheng Zhongxin to say: "The matter of the West Road (Ping'an Road) is not only Hu Ye, but General Mao will eventually bring disaster to our country, and the generals of his place must be prepared to wait for it." That is, Hou Jin and Mao Wenlong will be jointly used as the object of North Korea's defense.
After Renjo succeeded to the throne, he flaunted the pro-Ming and arranged for gold, so he suspended the exchange of national letters to the Later Jin during the Gwanghaejun period, saying that he would "cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to seek capture", and the Later Jin would strengthen the armament for the imaginary enemy, and even Renjo said that he would "personally conscript" the Later Jin.
However, this was just a gesture, and the Injo regime did not have the courage and strength to provoke the Houjin, so it actually adopted a policy of avoiding provoking the Houjin as much as possible.
A representative example is that in April of the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), Mao Wenlong wanted to send people to Hamgyong Province to patrol the border, and the Korean monarchs and ministers were afraid that they would provoke Houjin and cause trouble.
The Injo Dynasty continued and deepened the policy of reconciliation with Japan during the Gwanghae-jun period, but there were twists and turns due to the outbreak of the Bingzi Rebellion.
In the same year, Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Iemitsu, was in charge of Japan-North Korean diplomacy, and Tsushimashima, who was in charge of Japan-North Korean diplomacy, sent Gentomoji to Busan in the winter of the same year to congratulate Injo on his accession to the throne and inform North Korea of Tokugawa Iemitsu's ascension, hoping to send a messenger to maintain Tokugawa Iemitsu's position.
The outbreak of Li Shi's rebellion in Korea, Li Shi's army in the "surrender of the Japanese" played a great power, so on the way of Renjo's escape, the courtiers Li Tinggui and Wu Yunqian advocated borrowing troops from Japan, Injo was sick and rushed to the hospital, and even agreed to amnesty the guilty minister Li Jingji and sent him to Dongraewan to borrow troops, but later because of some concerns and the rebellion was quickly suppressed and not implemented.
"How did you come up with the idea of borrowing troops from Japan? It's ridiculous! Even if the Ming Dynasty is in difficulty, there may be no way to directly send troops to help you attack the rebels for a while, but you must not think of approaching Jiannu and the Wako! Wei Bao sighed.
When Li Yu heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said: "We didn't think so, it's just that the envoy, please understand the difficulties of North Korea, if the rebels are strong and North Korea is in crisis, what should we do?" ”
Li Kun's idea is very simple, he just wants to hug Daming's thigh.
The ideas of most of the North Korean ministers are different from those of Ri Yo.
Behind each faction are big families from all over the world, how similar is this to the situation of the Ming Dynasty?
The Wa State often fights Korea, but many big families and many ministers of the two classes will still want to get close to the Wa State, and borrow troops from the Wa State to get close to the Wa State!
The ministers' hostile attitude towards Jiannu is the same as that of Li Kun, and their hostile attitude towards Mao Wenlong is also the same as that of Li Kun.
Therefore, on the issue of foreign relations and military issues, the contradiction between Li Liang and most of the ministers is that the ministers hope that their power will be consolidated and strengthened locally! This is equivalent to the first question of Li Liang wanting to canonize his parents, the ministers, the vast majority of bureaucrats, only hope to get greater benefits and greater power, and absolutely do not want the central royal power to be too strong!
It can be said that this contradiction is irreconcilable, and basically every emperor and king will encounter it.
Gwanghae-kun reused the Great Northern faction and eradicated other factions, but as a result, he made too many enemies and was overthrown first!
Li Liang contacted and co-opted various factions, even those who did not support the Great Northern faction that deposed Queen Inmu in the first place, and these actions were in the hope that in the process of mixing the various factions, he gradually increased and increased the strength of the Westernist Party that supported him.
Guang Haijun wants to attack the whole with an individual, so as to make the Great Northern faction stand out from the various forces, while Li Liang hopes to arch a powerful political force that belongs to him with a comprehensive approach!
President Wei is not a political genius, or an ordinary person, but he has a little understanding of the history of this era in modern times, and during this time, he has been talking deeply with Kim Neiguan, and has a deeper understanding of the political situation in North Korea.
Therefore, Wei Bao was able to hear the key at once.
"The rebels are powerful, so you should strengthen your own forces! Jiannu and Wa are both wolves, can they be with wolves? Wei Bao said succinctly: "Recruit, gather soldiers and horses from all over the country, and then reward the heroes, and leave the powerful and excellent generals and soldiers to supplement the royal family's guards!" In this way, when the royal power is strong, who are you afraid of? The royal family's guards are not strong enough, and these outlands will cause you big trouble every year! President Wei said very seriously.
President Wei is not fooling at all, but standing in Li Liang's position, speaking from the position of a king, what he said is the most reasonable and most helpful to Wang! So, make a noise!
When Li Liang heard this, this time it was not that his eyes widened, but that his eyes lit up, and Li Liang didn't have a good impression of this young Ming envoy who was arrogant and arrogant, but now it's different.
Li Liang can't wait to talk with Wei Bao immediately, talk deeply, and can't wait to become friends with Wei Bao!
The ministers of North Korea also looked at Wei Bao in amazement, originally everyone thought that Li Liang had just raised that question, and the Ming envoys would definitely answer that they would believe in the official words of the Ming Dynasty, but they didn't expect that the Ming envoys would actually encourage Li Liang to strengthen the royal power and consolidate the royal guards?
This is a surprise.
Li Liang felt that Wei Bao was sent by God to help him at this moment, and the more he looked at Wei Bao, the more pleasing it became.
"Lord Envoy, this is not easy to do, I hope that the Ming Dynasty can canonize me as soon as possible, after I canonize it, I will get the help of a big man like Lord Envoy, maybe it can be achieved. I am willing to express my attitude to the envoys, and I will do my best to improve the relationship with the Ming Dynasty and never betray the Ming Dynasty. Li Liang said very seriously: "I also hope to have a banquet with the envoy later, I still have a lot of things I want to ask the envoy." ”
Wei Bao didn't know if Li Liang was polite or sincere, but Wei Bao was very happy that Li Liang had entered his own routine, and immediately agreed: "It's too easy, no problem, during my time in North Korea, you can eat with me every day if you want." However, I can't talk about it, I'm a straight talker, I don't have any heart, and I know a little thing, and I'm happy to share it with my friends. ”
Li Liang heard Wei Bao call himself a friend, very happy, and very touched, whether he was on the throne or before he took the throne, a family like him was very sensitive, in the past during the reign of Gwanghaejun, his father, and his family, could only be closed all day long, where did the friends come from?
Although Wei Bao looked so young that he could almost give birth to him, Li Liang was still slightly moved by the word friend.
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Li Qi replied. Then the court meeting was dispersed.
Today's court meeting made Li Liang very satisfied, and the ministers quarreled as always, but he saw hope from this very young Ming envoy.
Li Liang only left a group of important ministers, about 30 people down, and left them to accompany the envoys of the Ming Dynasty to dinner.
Originally, the current scale should be the scale of Li Liang's meeting with Wei Bao today, or even less, it should be Li Liang and Wei Bao meeting alone.
Compared with the large scene of thousands of people just now, the current small banquet is more testing Wei Bao.
Anyway, Wei Bao still likes more people, the more people the better, at least everyone won't pay too much attention to their knowledge.
