Chapter 1316: The Storm is Coming (Three Watches)

The Ming Dynasty lectures on the martial arts hall in the Hancheng Division, in a secluded courtyard wing.

"Master Cui, we invited you here this time because we have something to ask you." A middle-aged man dressed in the costume of a military attache in the martial arts hall looked at Cui Shikang who was sitting on the chair opposite, "Do you know a person named Park Dekyu?" ”

"Park Dekyu?" Cui Shikang, who was worried in his heart, couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and then subconsciously shook his head, he was brought over by the people who talked about the martial arts hall in a daze, and he didn't know what was going on, let alone "Park Dekyu".

"Reminder, this official can tell you that Park Dekui is the main culprit in the previous two arson cases against the Ming army, according to his confession, you instructed his subordinates to arrange for someone to set the fire, what is your explanation for this?" Seeing this, the interrogating military attache asked expressionlessly.

"This ...... This is total slander! Cui Shikang was suddenly startled when he heard this, jumped up from his chair with a bang, his face turned red, and said to the interrogating military attache urgently, "The lower official has never known any Park Dekui, let alone let him set him on fire?" ”

"We will naturally find out the truth of the matter, but before that, I hope that Cui Jushu will recall it carefully, so as not to make any omissions." The interrogating military attache glanced at Cui Shikang lightly and reminded him that he obviously did not believe Cui Shikang's words.

"This lord, the lower official really doesn't know that Park Dekui, please be aware of it!" Hearing this, Cui Shikang's heart sank suddenly, and from the attitude of interrogating the military attachΓ©, he knew that he was in big trouble, so he hurriedly bowed and said.

"It's getting late today, and there will be a verdict from Lao Cui here for a night, and we will find out the truth of the matter." The interrogating military attache frowned, then got up and left, the door of the wing room was slammed shut, and two soldiers of the Xiaowu Army stood guard in front of the door, one left and one right.

"What the hell is going on?" Cui Shikang sat back in his seat and muttered to himself, because he didn't know why he was implicated in the arson case because of the suddenness of the incident, his mind was blank.

Early the next morning, the parliamentary government was full of civil and military elites of the Joseon state, and they would go to the Uiban Mansion under the leadership of Li Ji to hear the trial, which had never been held in the Uiban Mansion since the state of Korea, let alone a prince-level figure to preside over the trial.

In fact, if it weren't for Li Yuntian's visit to North Korea this time, there would be no prince-level figure in North Korea at all, after all, according to the etiquette of the Ming Empire, even the king of Korea is just a county king.

However, those high-ranking officials and magnates in the parliamentary government gathered in groups at this time, not to talk about the upcoming public trial in the Yiban Mansion, but to be arrested by the people of the martial arts hall last night.

Although no one knows what happened to Cui Shikang who was arrested, considering the current situation in Seoul, it is not difficult for everyone to see that Cui Shikang's arrest is related to the arson a few days ago.

For a while, those high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Seoul could not judge whether Cui Shikang was related to the arson case, and this incident was a big blow to Li Ji's camp, you must know that Cui Shikang was a core member of Li Ji's camp.

Li Ji, Huang Xi, and Liu Shangmin were in a room discussing today's trial, perhaps because today's matter was too important, so that Huang Xi had no heart to sarcastically ridicule and sarcastically ridicule Li Ji about Cui Shikang, if it was left in normal times, Huang Xi would definitely mock Li Ji because of this.

"Back to the prime minister, except for Hu Cao Cui's judgment and Cui Jian's detail, everyone is here!" Soon after, while the three were there discussing the safety of the trial, an official came in to report it.

"Cui Zhenshen didn't come?" Hearing this, Li Ji's eyes couldn't help but flash a look of surprise.

Choi Li is the chief examiner of the parliamentary government, although his official rank is not too high, but he has been working in the parliamentary government for more than ten years, has deep qualifications, and has access to the core confidential affairs of the DPRK, so the position is very important, and he is very surprised that he has not appeared Li Ji.

Not only Li Ji, but also Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin couldn't help but glance at each other secretly, could it be that Cui Li was also caught by the people of the martial arts hall like Cui Shikang?

"According to Cui Jianshen's family, Cui Jianshen went home last night and then left, and has not been heard from since." The official's face couldn't help but show a look of helplessness, now it is really getting busier and more chaotic, who would have thought that Cui Li would lose contact mysteriously.

"The top priority is the public trial presided over by Prince Zhong, and other things are postponed." Li Ji frowned and groaned for a while, and then said solemnly to Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin, "Two adults, there can't be the slightest mistake in today's public trial, and I hope the two adults will bother more." ”

"It's important for me to wait." Huang Xi smiled when he heard this, and replied, although Cui Li's inexplicable disappearance made him feel a little worried, but Cui Shikang had not been released by the people of the martial arts hall at this time, and it was obvious that the situation was not good, so he felt a little happy.

"Rest assured, now that the soldiers and servants of the whole Hancheng have been transferred to the Forbidden Mansion to maintain order, there will be no accidents." Liu Shangmin bowed his head slightly to Li Ji, his eyes flickered a little, and there was an irrepressible excitement and excitement.

Now that Li Ji and Huang Xi were unable to attend the public trial held in the Yi Forbidden Mansion, there is no doubt that Cui Shikang and Cui Li must have been involved in the fire that broke out not long ago, otherwise one would not have been taken away by the people from the martial arts hall, and the other person would have lost contact.

If the two camps of Li Ji and Huang Xi are implicated in the fire, then Yoo Sang-min and his family can take the opportunity to stand out and control the political situation in North Korea.

In order to ensure that the trial was foolproof, the government sent Korean soldiers and servants to maintain law and order, and not only the law and order of the Uiban Province but also the entire Seoul city could not be allowed to make the slightest mistake.

"Let's go, let's go to the Righteous Forbidden Mansion to welcome the arrival of Prince Zhong." Li Ji immediately stood up and led Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin towards the door, where they would wait for Li Yuntian's drive in the Forbidden Mansion.

Daming lecture martial arts hall Seoul Division.

Li Yuntian wore his black python dragon robe under the service of Liu Zhen and Hongluan, although he didn't like the boat in this reckless dragon robe, but he still had to show people in princely clothes in public, which was the etiquette of the imperial court that could not be violated.

"Lord Wang, Lord Shouyang transferred all his troops out of the barracks on the grounds of maintaining law and order, and after his subordinates gathered the information, they found that those soldiers were gathered around the Yiban Mansion and the Divisional Office."

Just after Li Yuntian was dressed neatly, Yun Na walked into the room quickly and said in a deep voice, "Lord Wang, my subordinates feel that the motives of Shouyang Dajun's move are not pure!" ”

"It seems that he wants to break the net with this king!" Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and said disapprerovingly, "If it had been changed before, this king might have been afraid of it, but now that he is gone, the trapped beast is still fighting." ”

Li Yuntian was not surprised by Li Yao's move, as the ancestor of the Korean State in history, he was the same figure as the Yongle Emperor, and he was decisive in killing, so how could he be easily captured?

However, as Li Yuntian said, now that Li Yuntian has completed the layout of Seoul, Li Jin's general trend has gone, and if he wants to resist by force, there is only a dead end.

Obviously, the reason why Li Yuntian will publicly try the Naxi survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace has already been dealt with in all aspects, and Li Jin had better not act rashly, otherwise he will be hit head-on.

"Lord, let's go to the concubine's hometown after the matter in Seoul is over, the concubine hasn't been back for a long time." Liu Zhen finished sorting out Li Yuntian's clothes and said with a smile, although many of her family members have moved to Daming to live, her father is still working in the Korean state, so there are still many relatives in her hometown.

With his back against the big tree of Li Yuntian, Liu Zhen's father can be described as unimpeded in his official career, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as soaring.

However, Yoo Jin's father acted very low-key, and he had never been to Seoul as a magistrate in other places, so the reason for this was naturally to avoid factional disputes in Seoul.

Since going to Daming to find Li Yuntian, Liu Zhen has been away from his hometown for ten years, and he naturally misses his relatives in his hometown very much, so he wants to go back to his hometown to have a look and pay tribute to his ancestors, which can be regarded as returning to his hometown.

As the prince of Daming, if Li Yuntian can follow Liu Zhen back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, then it will be infinite glory for the Liu family.

"Okay, after the affairs of Seoul are over, this king will return to his hometown with you." Li Yuntian knew Liu Zhen's thoughts, and agreed with a smile, he could just relax and investigate the people's feelings.

Although he had known for a long time that Li Yuntian would agree, after listening to Li Yuntian's answer, Liu Zhenzhen was still overjoyed, and irrepressible excitement and excitement appeared on his face, which was not only related to the prestige of the Liu family, but also showed his status in Li Yuntian's mind to outsiders.

To be honest, Liu Zhen didn't think about letting Li Yuntian accompany her back to her hometown to worship her ancestors, after all, Li Yuntian rarely even returned home when he was busy with official business in the capital, let alone going to North Korea.

However, this time Li Yuntian came to the Korean Kingdom to thoroughly investigate the cause of the death of the Joseon king, which undoubtedly gave Liu Zhen an excellent opportunity to take this opportunity to complete the matter of returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

Of course, Liu Zhen is a smart woman, she knows that Li Yuntian's visit to Korea this time is not to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to have important things to do, so she did not mention the matter of returning to her hometown in front of Li Yuntian before Li Yuntian completed the layout of Seoul.

Now, Li Yuntian is about to publicly try those survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace, which means that his layout in Seoul has reached the final stage, so Liu Zhen can take the opportunity to propose to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, so that it will not affect Li Yuntian's work, and at the same time book Li Yuntian's future itinerary.

When he reaches a person of Li Yuntian's level, there is an itinerary for the affairs he has to do every day, and if he doesn't make an appointment in advance, it will be difficult for him to find time at that time, unless he pushes off the affairs at hand, which Liu Zhen doesn't want to see.
