Chapter 1340: Tell the Truth

"Madame, you have suffered." Cui Li stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Cui in his arms, and said apologetically.

"Husband, what's going on...... What's going on? You...... You took refuge in Daming? Mrs. Cui was stunned by the scene in front of her, and she didn't react for a while, never imagined that Cui Li would be waiting for her here in the military uniform of the Ming Army.

"It's not that the husband took refuge in the Ming Dynasty, the husband was originally ordered by the loyal prince to step into the official career, and now he is just returning to his original position." Cui Li smiled slightly when he heard this, and told Mrs. Cui the ins and outs of the matter, of course, some inconvenient things to tell Mrs. Cui were avoided by him.

"Husband, what will happen to the Lord of Shouyang?" Mrs. Cui was shocked by what Cui Li said, she could not have imagined that Li Yuntian had begun to lay out in North Korea more than ten years ago, and then thought of one thing, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

In any case, the fall of the Shouyang Maharaja has an inseparable relationship with Cui Li, who would have thought that Cui Li, who was trusted by Li Yao, would be Li Yuntian's person, no matter how Li Jin was also Cui Li's master, if she was really killed, she would feel extremely guilty in her heart.

"Rest assured, after the Linying Maharaja succeeds to the throne, he will give amnesty to the world, and then he will show the Ming Emperor to exempt the Shouyang Mahjun from death, and the Shouyang Maharaja will be exiled at that time." Cui Li knew what Mrs. Cui was thinking, so he smiled slightly and said, "The prince said that although the prince of Shouyang deserves to die, he still has to be left alive for the sake of the stability of the court." ”

"Husband, where are we going?" Hearing that Li Jin didn't have to die, Mrs. Cui finally let go of her hanging heart, leaned her head on Cui Li's chest and asked softly, now thinking about everything before is like a dream, no wonder the cell boss will be so good to them, it turns out that Cui Li is Li Yuntian's person.

"Gangnam!" Cui Li's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance when he heard this, and he said in high spirits, "We will go to Jiangnan, the most prosperous and wealthy city in Daming, and start a new life there." ”

"Jiangnan?" The corners of Mrs. Cui's mouth showed a smile of relief, she had naturally heard of the wealth of the south of the Ming River, and knew that it was a wonderful place like heaven, but in fact, the main thing was not that she could accept it everywhere she went to northern Xinjiang, and the climate and wind and sand in northern Xinjiang were something she and her family could not adapt to.

"Husband, can the throne of the Lord of Linying sit for a long time?" Then, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but look up at Cui Li, looked at him seriously and asked.

Cui Li is a high-minded and arrogant person, so the wife he is looking for will naturally not be an idle person, Mrs. Cui is a smart woman, and because of Cui Li, she also has a certain understanding of the political situation in Seoul.

Since Li Yuntian has eliminated Li Jue and Li Jue, it is obvious that Li Xuan will not be allowed to sit firmly in the position of King of Joseon, otherwise there is no need to be so troublesome, just directly put Li Jue or Li Jue on the stage.

What is particularly critical is that when she was in prison, she heard the prison guards talking about Li Yuntian's revocation of the establishment of three divisions and one court in the parliamentary government, and on the surface, it seemed that Li Yuntian had strengthened the authority of the Joseon king, but in fact, he had bypassed the Joseon king and controlled the three divisions and one court, which virtually hollowed out the power of the Joseon king.

In the process of setting up three divisions and one court, the person who is most opposed to this matter must be Linying Dajun Li Xuan, although Li Xuan's scheming does not have to pass Li Yao and Li Jue, but how can he not see that his power will be hollowed out after the establishment of three divisions and one court, and the chief of the three divisions and one court will be closer to the Ming Dynasty at that time.

But Li Xuan did not have the power and means of Li Yu and Li Jue, so he had nothing to do in the face of the scene in front of him, and there was no way in front of Li Yuntian's overwhelming momentum, and the most important thing was that many people in the officialdom of Seoul welcomed Li Yuntian's move, which made him feel quite helpless.

Compared with the deceit in the officialdom, in fact, Li Xuan is more suitable for composing lyrics and music, and his strength is in music rather than governing the country.

"The emergence of the three divisions and one court has seized the power in the hands of the Linying Maharaja, the Linying Maharaja is shallow in the political arena and cannot suppress those officials in Seoul, those officials will definitely flock to the loyal prince, so the throne of the Linying Maharaja is just a mirror, and the Korean state will eventually fall into the arms of the Ming Dynasty."

Since there were no outsiders in the room, there was no need for Cui Li to hide it anymore, and said to Mrs. Cui with a smile, "Don't worry, the prince will prepare everything." ”

"Husband, can we come back in the future?" Mrs. Cui finally understood Li Yuntian's intentions, it turned out that she was going to swallow the Korean country, which greatly surprised her, she really couldn't figure out where Li Yuntian had fallen in love with the poor, backward and resource-poor Korean country, and then looked at the scenery on the shore outside the window and asked faintly.

"Yes, we'll be back!" Choi Li took Mrs. Choi into his arms again, he knew that Mrs. Choi missed her relatives and homeland in Korea, so he nodded solemnly, and they would be able to come back when the situation in North Korea stabilized in the future.

At the same time, the Maharaja's Mansion of Linying.

"Prime minister, don't we have any way, once the three divisions and one courtyard are established, our North Korea will be subject to the Ming Dynasty." Linying Grand Monarch Li Xuan said to Li Ji, who was sitting there sipping tea, with an anxious face, that he was resolutely opposed to Li Yuntian's abolition of the parliamentary government and the establishment of three departments and one court, which was completely depriving him of power.

Although Li Xuan is not yet the king of Joseon, since Li Yuntian has already released the rumors, and he has reached adulthood among several great princes of Joseon, he is full of confidence in his succession to the throne and has to think about the future.

"Maharaja, this matter is already in the boat and cannot be avoided." Li Ji knew why Li Xuan was so excited, so he put down the teacup in his hand and shook his head and said.

As a vested interest, Li Ji also opposed the abolition of the parliamentary government and the establishment of three divisions and one court, so that the power in his hands would be greatly reduced, but he really had no reason to refute it, even the king of Joseon was appointed by the Ming Emperor, so Li Yuntian, as the envoy of the orthodox emperor, had the right to reform the administrative structure of the Korean state, and he could not stop it.

Besides, now Li Xuan is not the king of Joseon, if he expresses strong opposition to Li Yuntian's establishment of three divisions and one court, Li Yuntian will definitely choose another maharaja to inherit the throne, which will outweigh the loss.

Although the power of the king of Joseon has been reduced after the establishment of the three divisions and one court, he is the top boss of the three divisions and one court after all, so the governor of the three divisions and one court does not dare to disrespect him, and he also has other powers, so in Li Ji's view, the top priority is to let Li Xuan ascend the throne of the king of Joseon, and other matters can be discussed and resolved later.

"Prime Minister, is there no room for recovery in this matter?" After hearing Li Ji's answer, Li Xuan looked at him with some unwillingness and asked.

In fact, the establishment of the three divisions and one court did not have much impact on the officials of the Korean officialdom, and what was affected was the royal power of the royal family.

However, it is a pity that under the condition that the power of the vassal is guaranteed, how many officials of the Korean state will be willing to serve the royal power for the sake of the royal power, and are willing to serve the royal power with life and death?

Therefore, Li Xuan, who has little experience in the political arena, now feels very helpless, and he does not know who to rely on except Li Ji.

"Maharaja, this matter should not be rushed, it is necessary to think in the long run, and the important maharaja can take the throne to solve this matter slowly." Li Ji could understand Li Xuan's mood, so after a deep groan, he put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Now the left and right ministers are staring at the Maharaja, and the Maharaja must not make mistakes." ”

"Alas!" Li Xuan knew that Li Ji was reasonable, so he couldn't help but sigh and slam his palm on the table, in case he angered Li Yuntian, he would lose the throne of the king of Joseon, and then the gain would outweigh the loss.

Li Ji also sighed in his heart, now the military and political power of the Korean State has been firmly controlled by Li Yuntian, don't look at his seniority in the DPRK and his dignified leader, as long as Li Yuntian says a word, his career will be ruined.

Even Li Ji did not know when Li Yuntian took charge of the political situation of the Korean State, and when he found out, the situation in the Korean State was already under Li Yuntian's control, not only many officials in Seoul took Li Yuntian as the first eye, but even the local officials were in awe of Li Yuntian.

Therefore, in Li Ji's opinion, it is still good for Mingzhe to protect his life, although he does not want to see the establishment of three divisions and one court, but he will not offend Li Yuntian for Li Xuan, in the final analysis, what he holds in his hands is the power of ministers, which is opposed to the royal power represented by Li Xuan.

Don't look at Li Xuan's dependence on him now, but once he is full-fledged, he will be unlucky and become the target of Li Xuan's excision, so he will not work hard for Li Xuan, but choose to wait and see.

In the final analysis, Li Ji's opponent is not Li Yuntian, but Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin and Cui Yunde, who is very close to Huang Xi.

Now, Li Ji is very annoyed that Jin Zongrui offended Li Yuntian, if Jin Zongrui had not offended Li Yuntian last year, then now the post of commander of the North Korean capital is Jin Zongrui, and he will not have such great pressure as now.

Therefore, in Li Ji's view, now is a critical period for the redivision of the sphere of influence in the Korean political arena, and he does not want to cause any trouble and affect the distribution of power.

Just like Li Ji can easily abandon his son Li Jue, if Li Xuan affects the interests of him and the camp he leads, he will not hesitate to abandon Li Xuan to protect himself, and there is no need to fold himself in for Li Xuan.

For Li Ji, both Li Jue and Li Xuan are just a tool for him to ensure his own interests, otherwise he would not have pushed Li Ju out immediately after Li Jue's downfall, to put it bluntly, it was just to protect his own interests.

Li Xuan actually knows this, he has no foundation in officialdom, so he must rely on Li Ji to do things for him, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch in the political arena.

Li Ji guessed correctly, when Li Xuan is full-fledged, he will first take him, the hero of the dragon, and only in this way can Li Xuan truly control the power of the Korean State, otherwise he can only become a puppet in front of Li Ji, and Li Ji will secretly control the government.
