Seoul Division.

Li Yuntian sat at the table and looked at an official document in his hand, which was a petition jointly written by several scholars in Seoul, identifying Li Jin as the mastermind behind Li Jue's assassination, so Li Yuntian put Li Yao in prison for a strict trial, and hated Li Jin's lawless and disorderly behavior.

After reading the petition, Li Yuntian smiled helplessly, the accusations against Li Yao in the petition are all speculative, without the slightest factual basis, it can be seen that these scholars are passionate, but they are also impulsive because of this, and they are easy to be used by those with sinister intentions.

"Lord, what to do with this petition?" At this time, Yun Na, who was standing on the side, asked in a coquettish voice, and at this moment, the few scholars who had received the petition were kneeling on the ground outside the gate of the secretary's office.

"Tell them that this petition has been accepted by the king, so that they can go back to study and prepare for next year's imperial examination with peace of mind, and the king will find out the matter of the case and give an explanation to the outside world."

Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, and said to Yun Na, "As for whether the Lord of Shouyang is guilty or not, it will be decided at that time. ”

"You go and check who tricked them into writing this petition?" As he spoke, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a subtle sneer, "This kind of insect carving skill can't be put on the table, it's just a matter of adding to the snake." ”

"My subordinates understand." Yun Na smiled when she heard this, bowed to Li Yuntian and left, the other party's move was originally intended to put pressure on Li Yuntian, but instead of thinking about it, it revealed a flaw, as long as you find someone who secretly instigated those scholars to write a petition, then there will be a lot of gains.

Although Li Jue was assassinated, Li Yuntian's focus was not on the case, he knew that this kind of thing was not in a hurry, so he could only slowly collect intelligence to verify.

For Li Yuntian, the most urgent task is to provide relief to the people in the eight provinces of North Korea, and the sooner the relief is sent to the hungry people, then the tragedy of starving people and even changing children to eat will be stopped one day earlier.

With the distribution of relief materials, information about the population and land of the eight provinces of Korea continued to gather at the Seoul Office of the Komudo.

"Lord Wang, I have found the mastermind behind the assassination of Li Jue." In mid-July, when Li Yuntian was leisurely fishing by a pond outside Seoul, Yun Na came over and whispered in his ear, "This matter was done by the Emperor Anping." ”

"Li Ying?" Li Yuntian couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, he had seen Li Ying, Li Ying looked at Li Ying in everything, but he didn't expect to secretly put Li Ying to death.

"Is the evidence conclusive?" Li Yuntian groaned for a moment and asked in a low voice quietly.

"Our people found Li Ying's butler according to the clues, and now he has confessed that the assassination incident was planned by Li Ying and his uncle Jin An, and the assassin was Jin An's subordinates when he was leading the army in other places."

Yun Na nodded, and asked Li Yuntian in a deep voice, "Lord Wang, are you summoning Li Ying and Jin An now?" ”

"Let them go to the clerk's office." Li Yuntian nodded, and then his eyes fell on the fish float floating on the water, concentrating on fishing, to be honest, he was not interested in interrogating Li Ying and Jin An, the reason why the two of them did this was nothing more than two words: power desire!

Yun Na glanced at Li Yuntian, bowed slightly and stepped back, Li Yuntian had gained more time for recreation since he came to Seoul, and he could even spare time to fish, which was simply unimaginable in the capital.

It is no wonder that when Li Yuntian was in the capital, he not only needed to deal with the affairs of the Lecture Hall and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but as long as he participated in the discussion of national affairs and accompanied him in the palace, he was very busy every day, and he didn't even have time to go home, let alone take a vacation.

But after coming to North Korea, the situation became different, Li Yuntian's affairs at hand were sharply reduced, which allowed him to concentrate on dealing with the affairs of North Korea, and he had plenty of time to take the opportunity to relax.

Shouyang Maharaja's Mansion.

Li Jin and Li Ying were drinking tea in the living room, chatting about some things in Seoul recently, and under Li Yuntian's control, the large and small yamen in Seoul have now resumed normal operation.

Speaking of which, this is also due to the political system of the Joseon state, like the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, the Joseon state also has a yamen that assists the king of the Joseon - the parliamentary government.

The chief official of the parliamentary government is the "Lingyi Zheng", commonly known as the "Lingxiang", which is equivalent to the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty and the cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

Under the leadership of the government for the left and right politics, commonly known as the "left phase" and "right phase", and the same as the leading government, and then the next from the first product or so in favor, the second product or so counselor, and then under the four products of the people, the five products of the inspection of details, is the eight products of the record.

There are six Caos under the government, modeled after the six departments of the Ming Dynasty, namely the official Cao, the household Cao, the rite Cao, the soldier Cao, the criminal Cao and the Gong Cao, and its chief said that the judgment (Zheng Erpin) is equivalent to Shangshu, and the deputy title is the judge (from the second product) is equivalent to Shilang.

There are also six Cao Senate (Zheng San Pintang), six Cao Sanzhi (Zheng San Pintang), six Cao Masaro (Zheng Wu Pin), and six Cao Zuo Lang (Zheng Liupin).

It is precisely because of the existence of the parliamentary government that although the king of Joseon has died, the military and political affairs of the Joseon state can be operated normally, and Li Yuntian will temporarily replace the king of Joseon in exercising the power of the Joseon state until the new king of Joseon is elected.

Li Jue was supposed to be active in the political arena of Seoul, but unfortunately due to the assassination of Li Jue, he had to stay at home temporarily and wait for the results of the Ming army's investigation.

Among the eight brothers, Li Ying and Li Ying are the closest, so Li Ying is also the most convinced that when Li Jue is driven out of Seoul, Li Ying will become the guest of the Shouyang Prince's Mansion, Li Ying also likes to discuss some things with Li Ying, after all, fighting tiger brothers, going into battle father and son soldiers, the blood relationship between the two is always more trustworthy than outsiders.

"Second brother, what's the progress of Shizi's case?" During the greetings, Li Ying turned around and said worriedly, "If this case can't be found, the second brother will have to carry a black pot." ”

"Second brother, could it be that the prince deliberately set up a bureau for the second brother." As he spoke, Li Ying looked at Li Ying tentatively.

"The son of the world was also calculated, and he almost lost his life, but fortunately there is no big problem now, otherwise he would have fallen for the traitor's poisonous scheme." Li Ji couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and said with a gloomy face.

"Is Shizi really injured?" A complicated look flashed on Li Ying's face when he heard this, and then he looked at Li Jin in surprise, "Second brother, what do you mean by traitor?" ”

In order to avoid affecting the investigation of the case, Li Jue's poisoning was tightly sealed, and the only person who knew about the North Korean side knew about this matter was Li Jue, and other people, including Li Jue, did not know about it at all, and they could not see Li Jue.

Because Li Jin had been assisting the Ming army in investigating the assassination of Li Jue before, Li Jue did not have the opportunity to contact him, and this meeting was the first time the two met after Li Jue's assassination, so Li Jue did not know Li Jue's recent situation, and was shocked to hear that Li Jue was gradually recovering his health.

You must know that the poison in Li Jue's house was obtained by Jin An from Daming with great difficulty, although the toxicity is not as good as those poisons that seal the throat when blood is seen, but because there are no obvious symptoms after being poisoned, it will be difficult to treat once the poison occurs.

Li Ying originally thought that Li Jue's death was decided this time, and the reason why Li Yuntian did not announce Li Jue's death for a long time was to stabilize the situation in North Korea, after all, Li Jue's death involved Li Jue, and the situation in North Korea would change dramatically.

Unexpectedly, Li Jue told him that Li Jue had recovered, which made him feel shocked in his heart, and he never imagined that Li Jue's life would be so big.

"Someone wants to murder the prince, and then throw the black cauldron to this king, this person is very vicious, if he is found out by this king, he will definitely not let him go!" Since Li Jue is about to recover and will come back soon, to appease the people, there is no need for Li Jue to hide it from Li Jue, and said in a somewhat cold tone.

"I see!" Li Jue's face had become a little pale, and he knew at this time that Li Jue had escaped, and what particularly worried him was that Li Jue knew about Li Jue's recent situation, which was bad news for him.

It stands to reason that Li Jin, as an important suspect in Li Jue's assassination, should not know Li Jue's situation, but Li Jin is clear, which is completely contrary to common sense and greatly surprised Li Jue, which means that Li Yuntian gave Li Jue a lot of freedom, so that Li Jue can still get Li Jue's news during the investigation.

This is terrible for Li Ying, since Li Yuntian treats Li Jin so favorably, it is very likely that he will choose him to become the future king of the Korean Kingdom, so his previous hard work will be in vain.

"Dajun, a military attache of the Ming Dynasty is here and wants to see you." At this moment, a subordinate walked into the room quickly, bowed to Li Yao and said.

"Let's go, let's see." Li Yao didn't dare to slack off when she heard this, got up and nodded to Li Ying, and then walked forward to the living room.

"Maharaja." In the living room, a military attache of the Ming army wearing the rank of major was standing there waiting, and when he saw Li Yao leading Li Ying to come, he quietly bowed his hand to Li Jin and bowed.

"I wonder what happened to this adult?" Seeing this, Li Yao bowed back to the Ming military attache and asked with some puzzlement.

"Maharaja, this official was ordered to come and take Anping Maharaja back for questioning." The military attache of the Ming Army glanced at Li Ying, who was standing behind Li Jin, and replied with a serious expression.

"What?" Li Ying couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and then looked at Li Ying, never expecting that the other party would come to find Li Ying.

Li Ying's face turned pale in an instant, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, that Ming military attache actually came to Li Jin to look for him, which was not a good sign.

"Dare to ask why you are looking for Anping Dajun?" Li Jin really couldn't figure out why Li Ying was taken back by the Ming army for questioning, so after hesitating for a while, he tentatively asked the Ming military attaché.

"Maharaja, this little one doesn't know, the little one is only responsible for bringing him back." The military attache of the Ming Army was very stern and shook his head at Li Yao.

"Third child, you have to believe in the Ming Dynasty and tell them everything." Li Jin's face couldn't help but flash a look of helplessness, and he told Li Ying in a deep voice.

"Thank you, second brother, little brother remembered." The flustered Li Ying tried to calm down, bowed to Li Ying, and followed the Ming military attaché away.

"What the hell is going on?" Looking at Li Ying's distant back, Li Ying's brows furrowed slightly, and he vaguely smelled a strange smell.
