The news that the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace who had been found in Chungcheong-do and Hwanghae-do were coming to Seoul soon spread through the streets of Seoul and immediately caused a sensation among the people.

Because the situation was so chaotic that night, even the people living in Seoul did not know whether it was Li Jin or Li Jue who launched a mutiny and killed the king of Joseon that night, which means that the truth of this unsolved case is about to be revealed.

Compared with ordinary people, there is a tense and depressed atmosphere in the officialdom of Seoul, because it is not clear whether Li Yao will be implicated by those survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace, so officials large and small seem to be a little panicked, for fear that if they accidentally stand on the wrong team, they will suffer a catastrophe at that time.

In Seoul, except for Li Ji, there is no one who is most worried than Li Xuan, if it were not for Li Ji to move out to deal with Li Jin, he never thought that he would one day be so close to the throne of the king of Joseon.

These days, Li Xuan has been surrounded by those flattering officials like the stars and the moon, and his ears are full of flattering words, which makes him feel a little fluttering, and he begins to enjoy the pleasure of this power.

While the attention of the whole of Seoul was drawn to the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace, Li Yuntian seized the time to promote a series of his reforms through the parliamentary government of the Korean state.

At this time, the people of the parliamentary government were panicked, and no one, including Li Ji and Huang Xi, had the heart to pay attention to the innovations promoted by Li Yuntian, for whom those innovations were not important, and the top priority was to know whether Li Yao might be implicated by the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and to be more concerned about Li Yao's fate.

This can involve whether Li Yao can sit on the throne of the king of Korea in the future, and it also involves the careers of many officials, which naturally makes these people dare not be careless, and if there is a trouble, they can respond in time.

The tense atmosphere in Seoul was naturally deliberately created by Li Yuntian, so that he could smoothly implement the designated national policy and strategy of Joseon, and at the same time, it also cast a veil of mystery over the selection of the future king of Joseon.

Li Yuntian's investigation of the death of the Joseon king has been in full swing, which makes it impossible for officials in Seoul to guess how he will deal with this incident, so it is impossible to know whether Li Jin will be able to pass this last pass.

Although no one has evidence to prove that Li Yao did the death of the king of Joseon, many high-ranking officials and magnates have already decided that Li Yao did this matter, otherwise Li Yao would not have been able to drive Li Jue out of Seoul in the military rebellion that year.

It is reported that Li Jue was very embarrassed when he escaped, and he was almost blocked by Li Jue's people, which means that Li Jue obviously came prepared, according to the usual belief, whoever benefits in the end is the one in charge.

It's a pity that this is just a speculation, because it is about the ownership of the future king of Joseon, so if someone wants to stab Li Yuntian in this matter, there must be evidence, and the dignified Prince Ming will not determine Li Jin's life and death based on one-sided words.

"What's going on in the city these days?" In the afternoon of that day, in the Hancheng Division of the Lecture Hall, Li Yuntian put down the official document in his hand, rubbed his nose, and asked Yun Na, who was standing aside.

The Korean state is known as the 3,000-mile country, and it is not easy to manage it well, which makes Li Yuntian as busy as in the capital, handling the military and political affairs of the Korean state, and then sending it out through the parliamentary government.

At the same time, Li Yuntian also has to spare energy to pay attention to the changes in the situation in the capital in order to respond quickly, the situation in Seoul can be described as changing rapidly, God knows what unexpected things will happen in the next moment, he must firmly control the situation in his hands.

"Everything is as the prince expected, and now those officials in Seoul are panicking and looking around for news." Yun Na smiled slightly, "My subordinates heard that the gambling house in Seoul has opened a gambling market, and betting on whether the prince of Shouyang can get out of the death of the king of Joseon this time has attracted many gamblers to bet!" ”

"It is estimated that many families are going bankrupt this time." Li Yuntian couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, whether it was the casinos of Daming or North Korea, they were essentially the same, and they tried every means to get money out of the pockets of the people.

Now Li Yao is concerned with the heir of the future king of Joseon, which can be described as the most gimmicky thing in Seoul, so it will definitely attract many gamblers to come to bet, and some people are bound to bet heavily with the psychology of getting rich overnight, and there will definitely be many tragedies of wife separation.

Although Li Yuntian is disgusted by this kind of thing, it is inconvenient to intervene, after all, the casino's practice does not violate the relevant legislation, so he doesn't want to forcibly involve such a thing, so he can only follow the nature to guide and restrict.

"In a few days, those survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace will come to Seoul and ask Cui Li to leak the news to Li Ji and tell Li Ji that the survivors this time are genuine." Then, Li Yuntian groaned and said to Yun Na.

"Understood, my subordinates will do it." The corners of Yun Na's mouth suddenly showed a hint of a smile, it seems that Li Yuntian is going to startle the snake and force Li Yao to take action, as long as Li Yao moves, then there will be a handle to be caught, and then he can only fall into passivity.

In the evening, the Maharaja's Mansion of Shouyang.

Li Yao absentmindedly flipped through a book in his hand in his study, as a character who had been pushed to the forefront, he had been sleepless lately, thinking about tea and dinner, and until now he had not figured out whether the survivors who were found by the Ming army were real or fake.

Although Li Jin has repeatedly told Li Yuntian that he will do his best to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty after ascending the throne, Li Yuntian did not let him inherit the king of Joseon, but was still looking for the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace to find out the truth about the murder of the king of Joseon.

Although Li Yao has done a good job in dealing with the aftermath of the killing of the king of Joseon, but in the face of Li Yuntian, who has not indicated his attitude, his heart has been up and down, and there is no way to do it, the previous set used to deal with the envoys of the Ming Dynasty is completely ineffective in front of Li Yuntian, the prince, Li Yuntian is not the kind of person who cares about petty profits.

"Maharaja, Lord Cui has an urgent matter to ask for a meeting." Just when Li Yao frowned and looked at the book in his hand in a daze, a subordinate walked in quickly and said.

"Please!" Li Ji was refreshed when he heard this, and hurriedly put down the book in his hand and said, Cui Li must have something big happening when he came late at night, and the most eye-catching thing in Seoul at the moment is the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace.

"Dajun, it's a big deal...... the next thing is down" As soon as the subordinate's words fell, Cui Lihuo rushed into the door in a hurry, and his voice stopped abruptly when he saw the subordinate in the room.

"You go down first, and no one shall come in without the orders of the Maharaja." Li Yao knew that Cui Li's words were inconvenient for outsiders to hear, so he waved his hand to the one quietly, and the subordinate immediately left with interest, and deliberately closed the door when he left.

"Dajun, Xiaguan has just received news that the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace that the Ming army found from Chungcheongdo and Hwanghaedo this time are true, and as far as Xiaguan knows, it seems to be the female officials and guard officers in Gyeongbokgung Palace."

After the subordinate left, Cui Li looked at Li Yao anxiously and said, "We didn't dispose of all the people in Gyeongbokgung Palace at that time, it is likely that those few fish slipped through the net!" ”

"Damn! Now that these guys have escaped, they don't honestly look for a place to hide! Hearing this, Li Jin's face suddenly changed greatly, and he couldn't help but slam his fist on the table, and said with a pale face.

After launching the rebellion that year, Li Jin once asked people to count the people who were killed in Gyeongbokgung Palace according to the roster of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and all the people he sent to Gyeongbokgung Palace to be the inner responders were killed, so as to destroy the evidence.

However, due to the chaotic situation at that time, although Li Jian had made careful arrangements, it was inevitable that someone would flee from Gyeongbokgung Palace, and although the number of these people was very small, it was always a problem for him.

Originally, when Li Yuntian came to Seoul, Li Yu was still worried about the survivors who escaped and told Li Yuntian, but as time went by, the situation he was worried about did not appear, and those survivors who escaped by luck did not report to Li Yuntian out of various concerns, which made him gradually let go of his hanging heart and knew which survivors were worried that they would die once they appeared.

The reason is that those survivors can't trust Li Yuntian, and it is no secret that Li Yao and Daming are close to Seoul, and they belong to the representatives of the pro-Ming faction of Seoul officialdom, who believe that if the Korean state wants to be stable for a long time, it must cooperate with Daming, rather than adopt a confrontational approach.

It is precisely because of this that those survivors are probably worried that Li Yuntian will shield Li Yao, so they did not show up, so as not to encounter accidents.

Not only that, but this also became an important reason for the rebellion of the prince Li Jue, since the Ming Dynasty won the Liaodong War with the Northern Yuan, under the leadership of Li Yuntian, the Ming began to strengthen its control over the Korean state, exerted pressure on the Joseon king, let him reuse the Korean officials of the pro-Ming faction, and expressed his optimism and appreciation for Li Yao.

In the face of the pressure exerted by the Ming Dynasty, especially the Liaodong army in the north of the Korean state, the king of Joseon had to have the idea of changing the prince, although Li Yao was close to the Ming Dynasty, but after all, he was also his son-in-law, and he was capable and talented, and it was better to be in charge of the Korean state than to raise a puppet king in the Ming Dynasty.

Due to this complicated mind of the king of Joseon, Li Jue also had the possibility of killing the king of Joseon, so that the officials in Seoul could not determine who started the rebellion that night, after all, Li Jue also had the possibility of killing the king of Joseon in order to avoid the title of the prince being seized.

"Maharaja, how should we deal with it?"

Looking at Li Yao, who was full of iron, Cui Li asked with a serious expression, but he felt a burst of pride in his heart, Li Yao would never have thought that he had been firmly held in the palm of his hand by Li Yuntian all along, let alone that he would be Li Yuntian's spy in North Korea.

Unlike those who want to take refuge in Li Yuntian in the name of power, the reason why the talented Cui Li wants to help Li Yuntian is not for fame and fortune, but to change the fate of the Korean people, so that the people can live a stable life, and Li Yuntian can help him realize this wish, so he does his best to do things for Li Yuntian and change the current situation of the Korean people's difficult life through the Ming Dynasty.
