"You've been married for almost a year, haven't you? In this year, your man hasn't touched you? Wu Xuexia asked bluntly. She didn't call you husband, but directly used your man, an aggressive, very local word, which is more difficult to stab at the point.

Princess Zhenming blushed and did not respond to Wu Xuexia.

Princess Renmu glared at Wu Xuexia, "There are no rules, here is your share of speaking?" ”

"I'm in a higher position than her! She can talk, why can't I not speak? Wu Xuexia was uncompromising and immediately went back.

Princess Renmu snorted heavily, "Something that has no rules! After scolding, he looked at Princess Zhenming, and was secretly surprised that his daughter had been married for so long, and she hadn't had a round room with Hong Zhuyuan.

Seeing that her daughter seemed to be interested in this young man of the Ming Kingdom, Princess Renmu sighed angrily and helplessly, and finally didn't say anything more.

Wei Bao saw that Princess Renmu's attitude seemed to have softened, and hurriedly said to Princess Zhenming: "Okay, accompany your mother to rest, the best pavilion and courtyard, I have already let people clean it out." ’

Indeed, even if Wei Bao died a long time ago, Li Liang didn't dare to fight hard, and he would definitely hand over Princess Renmu in the end.

Wu Xuexia endured it angrily and didn't go back.

If it weren't for the age of Princess Renmu, according to Wu Xuexia's temper, today would definitely not be over.

Princess Zhenming was afraid that her mother would quarrel with Wu Xuexia again, so she grabbed the arm of Princess Renmu and said softly: "Mother, go and rest?" ”

Princess Renmu glared at her daughter again, then at Wei Bao again, sighed, and went out accompanied by her daughter.

"Is it worth raising an old woman with such a strange temper and being quite unreasonable?" Wu Xuexia asked Wei Bao angrily.

Wei Bao smiled indifferently: "You are so smart, don't you understand why I did this?" First of all, Li Liang reversed herself, and after various intelligence corroboration, it was this old lady who made a stir up trouble from it, and then let her stay by Li Kun's side, I don't know what will happen. Secondly, even the princess of Renmu is in our hands, and she can live very well, which can win people's hearts even more. ”

"I understand the reason, but I don't think this old woman has that much influence." Wu Xuexia said angrily.

"Okay, you can't get used to her, try not to see her in the future." Wei Bao laughed.

Wu Xuexia hugged her arms and glanced at Wei Bao: "President, you must be very happy to know that Princess Zhenming is still a virgin now, right?" ”

"Are you alright? And not particularly happy either. Wei Bao smiled, it was rare to laugh so obscenely.

With the passage of time through rebirth, President Wei has now paid more and more attention to his image, and he is usually very stable, this kind of laughter is the habit of being a scumbag at the bottom of society in modern times.

"The mouth is not right." Wu Xuexia was even more annoyed when she saw Wei Bao smiling so happily, but she was helpless.

Li Yuanyi took more than a dozen ministers of the two shifts back to the Joseon palace to resume his life.

Li Qi and the two classes of ministers were anxiously waiting, the neutral ministers and the ministers who were already interested in Wei Bao were no longer too nervous, and the main ones who were nervous were the ministers who opposed Wei Bao.

They wanted to get rid of the neutral ministers and the ministers who were already set on Wei Bao, but they were also afraid that the situation would deteriorate further.

When Li Liang listened to Li Yuanyi's report, his heart was indescribably complicated, was the matter temporarily resolved? He didn't know, but Wei Bao left behind the princess of Renmu and withdrew all the troops outside the palace, as if the situation had eased a little.

"What now?" Li Qi asked with a frown.

Still no one spoke.

"Whether you stay in Seoul or go, speak quickly! Tonight, Wei Baojun's garrison in Incheon will definitely be able to rush to Seoul! Li Qi said angrily: "When is it, you are still pretending to be dumb one by one!" ”

It's a pity that no matter how angry Li Qi was, no one spoke.

Li Liang had to sigh, "Master Gu Hong, you come back with me." ”

He wanted to talk to his uncle.

"Now there are no outsiders, what do you have to say, just say it." After Li Qi sat down, he asked impatiently.

Gu Hong said: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, in my opinion, Wei Bao doesn't really want to fight with us." ”

"I know! But just quit Seoul like that? In that case, Wei Bao is in Seoul, and I, the dignified king of Korea, am not in Seoul, what have I become? In the end, am I the king of Korea, or is he Wei Bao the king of Korea? Li Qi said angrily.

"Your Highness, if you regard yourself as the true king of North Korea in your heart, you are the king of North Korea, and no one can take it away! Wei Bao is competing with us for hearts and minds, competing for time, why don't we dare? Gu Hong said: "Return to Gongzhou, if there is an emergency, you can evacuate to the south." Moreover, we have been in Seoul for a long time, Seoul and Incheon are too close to each other, and the next time we have a conflict with Wei Bao, Wei Bao's army will still be the same as this time, always doing this, and there will never be peace. Only when we really have the strength to expel Wei Bao can we turn against him! ”

"You ask me if I have faith?" Li Qi suddenly laughed twice.

"Your Highness." Gu Hong was a little uneasy, and he didn't know if his words had angered Li Liang.

"Let me tell you, we have come all this way, from sitting on the throne to today, which day has not been spent in the bloody storm? If I had to choose again, I wouldn't be able to fight for this throne! But now that I'm the king of Korea, I'm not going to back down! Don't be afraid! No matter how big the bloody rain is, I'm not afraid! The more humiliating it is, the more I can get through it! No matter what kind of pain it is, I can endure it! For the sake of the world of my Li family. ”

Gu Hong nodded and said, "Then His Highness is reluctant to leave Seoul, is he afraid of losing his dignity?" ”

"Isn't it? If we leave like this, what will all the North Koreans think of us? I am a cowardly coward in everyone's hearts, how can I convince the public when I say it in the future? Li Qi said hatefully.

"Then Your Highness might as well take this opportunity to fight Wei Bao! It's still too late, Wei Bao's army has not yet arrived, we have more than 30,000 troops in Seoul, close the city gates, kill Wei Bao and Wei Bao's army. Gu Hongdao.

When Li Wei heard this, he sighed: "Why don't I want to do this? The question is, is it sure? In case I lose, if I don't die, the whole of Korea will fall into chaos, and whose world will this world become, or whether it is not the world of the Li family, who can say clearly? ”

"Your Highness, exiting Seoul is the best option right now! His Royal Highness took the initiative to withdraw, and the people of North Korea will not look down on His Royal Highness because of this, but will hate Wei Bao from the heart, no matter how Wei Bao buys people's hearts, he is always not a North Korean, but a Ming countryman! Ming is the suzerainty of our North Korea, and the common people will not tolerate people outside Korea to rule them! They will hate Wei Bao even more than they hate Li Shi! No matter how capable Wei Bao is, no matter how hard he tries his way, he can't cover up the stench in his bones! There is no way to hide the fact that he wants to get his fortune from North Korea! As time goes by, more and more people see Wei Bao's true face clearly, and when the time comes, will it be easier for His Highness to recapture Seoul, Gyeonggi Province and Hwanghae-do? At that time, Wei Bao invited His Highness to return to Seoul, and I was against it. Gu Hong said: "The more Wei Bao wants His Highness to do something, the more His Highness can't do it!" ”

Li Liang nodded understandingly: "Yes, you're right, I shouldn't listen to what Wei Bao wants me to do!" I shouldn't have gone back to Seoul in the first place, I shouldn't have coveted superficial reunification! With the presence of Wei Bao, a foreign force, it is impossible for North Korea to truly be reunified in our hands! ”

"Your Highness, taking advantage of Wei Bao's lack of strength now, and he doesn't want to openly break with us, this is our last chance to leave, go back to Gongzhou City, right?" Gu Hongdao.

Li Liang thought bitterly, he wanted to stay in Seoul, mainly because he was dominated by emotions and didn't want to abandon his ancestral business, but he knew very well that Gu Hong's approach to leaving Seoul was more rational.

Emotions and reason are always tormenting like this.

"And what about the ministers? If those ministers who are determined to Wei Bao don't kill them, maybe they won't go with us, they will defect to Wei Bao together and continue to stay in Seoul! Li Qi said: "There are not a few of these people, they are not only powerful themselves, but also have a lot of power in various places!" ”

"Your Highness, like you, I have a fascination with Seoul, and I have thoughts of influencing those ministers who have already set their hearts on Wei Bao and the Heaven and Earth Society, but these have to be abandoned. Leave these people to Wei Bao! If they are killed, their families and clansmen everywhere will all take refuge in the Heaven and Earth Society, and they will be very resolute! But leaving them all to Wei Bao depends on how Wei Bao places them. Since these people can be disloyal to His Highness, they will definitely be disloyal to Wei Bao in the future, because they are originally a group of disloyal and greedy people, what good is it for His Highness to keep such people? Gu Hongdao.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Qi nodded and said, "You convinced me, it's like this!" Anyway, Hwanghae-do and Gyeonggi-do are lost, and they don't care about losing this group of greedy and unfamiliar dogs. ”

Gu Hong leaned over and saluted: "Your Highness has finally figured it out." ”

Li Qi sighed and said, "Then before we leave, do you still want to say something to Wei Bao?" Do you want to say a word to the people of Seoul? ”

"You don't have to say anything, just go like this, and let the people go viral! We can spread the news and only say that His Highness is unwilling to use force with Wei Bao, so as not to hurt the people, and he was forced away by Wei Bao! In this way, the common people of the entire North Korea, including the common people of Hwanghae-do and Gyeonggi-do, will sympathize with His Highness! As long as Wei Bao is not able to fulfill his promise to the people of Gyeonggi Province and Hwanghae Province to solve the problem of food and clothing, he will lose his trust, and the people will be disgusted with him, and even rise up against him together! You know, Wei Bao not only has to make sure that the people of Hwanghae-do and Gyeonggi-do have food and clothing, but also has to pay us taxes in full every quarter! In this way, we will have a stable tax that we can use to quell the rebels everywhere! After we have secured the other six provinces of North Korea, what are we afraid of in the face of the people of Hwanghae-do and Gyeonggi-do, who are constantly weakened and enraged by Wei Bao? ”

"Yes, you're right! Hwanghae-do and Gyeonggi-do didn't give Wei Bao, but let him take care of it temporarily, and he still had to pay us taxes! If we delay the payment of taxes for one day, we can justifiably reclaim Hwanghae-do and Gyeonggi-do! Li said: "In our hands, there has never been a time when half of the taxes in Hwanghae-do and Gyeonggi-do have been collected!" Wei Bao not only said that he would pay us in full, but also said that he would let the people of Hwanghae-do and Gyeonggi-do have no worries about food and clothing, which is really bragging! Wait to see him make a fool of himself! ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Gu Hong nodded.

"That's it! I've figured it out, so I'll go out and tell the ministers now! Li Qi said bitterly.

Gu Hong didn't speak, and after saluting, he withdrew.

Goo Hong announced to all the ministers of the two classes that His Highness had decided to withdraw from Seoul and go to Gongju.

All the ministers of the two classes, whether they are against Wei Bao, neutral, or those who are inclined to Wei Bao, are not surprised.

No one was thinking about what was going on with the princess Renmu, and they were all thinking urgently about their futures.

Gu Hong saw that everyone was talking non-stop, and said loudly: "Okay! Let's do our part and prepare! ”

Then Gu Hong left a few generals loyal to Li Liang and ordered them to start acting immediately, the Korean royal army did not fight well, and the moving kung fu had already been practiced.

fled from Seoul to Gongju City, and then was invited back to Seoul by Wei Bao from Gongju City, and now he has to return from Seoul to Gongju City, back and forth, aren't they all porters of these royal armies.

The two classes of ministers loyal to Li Ju were surprised that Gu Hong let those ministers who were already inclined to cooperate with Wei Bao and the Heaven and Earth Society, as well as the neutral faction, and recognize Wei Bao and the Heaven and Earth Society, leave? Isn't that letting them go to Wei Bao's side?

On the one hand, the royal family is leaving Seoul now, and these people are reluctant to leave.

On the other hand, just today, just now, they are still pursuing Zhao Qi's matter, and they want to let these ministers who are already inclined to fight with Wei Bao and the Heaven and Earth Society, as well as the neutral faction, and recognize Wei Bao and the Heaven and Earth Society.

These ministers are not stupid, they can be ranked as ministers in two classes, at least they are not too stupid, everyone can understand what Li Liang is going to do today, and they will kill them all!

Now that he can regain his freedom, who else will go with Li Kun?

Gu Hong didn't say much to Li Gui, Shen Jingyi, Li Yuanyi and others, and he was about to leave after issuing the order.

"By the way, Master Gu Hong, what about Zhao Guiren? Why didn't you just say that? Wei Bao demanded the release of Zhao Guiren. Li Yuanyi caught up with Gu Hong and asked.

Gu Hong then remembered that when he talked with His Highness just now, he seemed to have neglected this issue, after all, compared with the major events of Seoul and the two classes of ministers, Zhao Guiren's matter seemed too small.

"What? Didn't His Highness say it? This is no small matter. Wei Bao named and said, let's release Zhao Guiren. Li Yuanyi said.

"But Zhao Guiren is a woman of His Royal Highness, a woman of the royal family, what does he want to do? Occupied the princess, and now you want to directly occupy the woman of Her Royal Highness? How does this make the world look at His Highness!? Gu Hong said angrily. What's even more angry is that he himself doesn't know how to ask His Highness for instructions again, he knows very well that although His Highness beat Zhao Guiren last time, he still loves Zhao Guiren very much in his heart, and as for killing Zhao Qi, it is also a last resort.

Now it doesn't matter what the relationship between His Highness and Zhao Guiren is? Is there still a chance to reconcile? These Gu Hong don't want to think about it, he just wants to think about it now, what will happen if he releases Zhao Guiren!?

Li Yuanyi saw Gu Hong's thoughts: "Since Your Highness has even abandoned these two classes of ministers who are dedicated to Wei Bao and Hancheng, why bother to make trouble for a Zhao nobleman?" This kind of woman is just thrown out of the palace. ”

"It's easy to say, but who is going to say it to His Highness? Moreover, in case Zhao Guiren followed Wei Bao after leaving the palace, how would the people of the world look at His Highness? Gu Hong said bitterly: "Are you going to ask Your Highness?" ”

"I can't! If I go to ask, Your Highness is too embarrassed, this kind of thing, you still have to ask Lord Gu Hong yourself. Li Yuanyi said: "Otherwise, kill Zhao Guiren, right?" Anyway, Wei Bao only said that Zhao Guiren was released, and he didn't say whether he was going to die or live, and when we killed Zhao Guiren, we said that she had committed suicide herself. ”

This is a solution, Gu Hong nodded, "I'll go ask Your Highness!" Alas, you don't know how much pain His Highness is now, he doesn't want to say a word anymore. ”

"I can imagine that Lord Gu Hong should persuade His Highness more, I will also go back to prepare, this big family has just moved back to Seoul, and now I have to leave." Li Yuanyi sighed.

Gu Hong nodded, he didn't want to say anything at this time, said goodbye to Li Yuanyi, went to the back hard, and asked to see His Highness again.

Li Qi was crying bitterly at this time, only in Seoul, he felt that he was the king of North Korea, he had just come back not long ago, and now he had to leave again, and he was not driven away, but scared away, which made him emotionally unacceptable.

"Master Gu Hong, do you have something?" Li Kun's internal officials and eunuchs were very surprised that Gu Hong came back so soon, "Your Highness, you have to wait until the things in the palace are packed before leaving, right?" Now is it time for His Highness to rest first? ”

Gu Hong heard Li Liang's cry in the house, and said anxiously: "I don't want to bother Your Highness anymore at this time!" He immediately told the internal officials and eunuchs about Zhao Guiren.

The eunuch is Li Liang's personal eunuch, not only powerful, but also gets along with Li Liang day and night, so Gu Hong will discuss the affairs of the palace with him.

After listening to this, the eunuch also sighed again and again: "This is indeed a very tricky thing!" His Royal Highness is very good to Zhao Guiren, if it weren't for your insistence on persuasion, His Highness would not have planned to kill Zhao Qi! ”

"Don't talk about this now, help me think about it, how to say it to His Highness? What should I do? Zhao Guiren will definitely not be able to keep it, should he leave a living Zhao Guiren to Wei Bao, or will he give Wei Bao a dead Zhao Guiren? Gu Hong asked anxiously.

The internal official eunuch was shocked when he heard this, and immediately understood what Gu Hong meant, "Leave a dead Zhao nobleman to Wei Bao, won't Wei Bao be angry?" ”
