On the night Kim Jong-seo returned to Seoul, he was summoned to Gyeongbokgung Palace by Li Xuan, who specially hosted a banquet for him to receive the wind and wash the dust, which was a grace that even Choi Yunde could not enjoy, which flattered Li Xuan.

At the banquet, Li Xuan asked Kim Jong-seo about the reorganization of the Korean army, which was quite ridiculous, as the king of Joseon, he did not know the progress of the reorganization of the army.

Jin Zongrui did not mean to conceal the progress of the army's reorganization, and reported the progress to Li Xuan in 1510, and the troops of the six towns in the northeast and the four counties in the northwest had been transported by the water route to the southern part of the Korean state by the Ming army's naval division, ready to be used to guard against the threat from the Japanese state.

This kind of large-scale troop mobilization of the DPRK could not have been accomplished under any circumstances, and it was Li Yuntian who mobilized a large amount of material and financial resources to complete this major readjustment of the DPRK's military strength within one year.

Although Kim Jong-seo was prejudiced against Li Yuntian, he had to admit that Li Yuntian was a rare military genius, and the new military system implemented by the Korean army made the army completely professional, which was something he had always dreamed of, and it could be expected that once the new army was built, it would have incomparably strong combat effectiveness.

Moreover, what made Kim Jong-rui feel particularly incredible was that the treatment of the new army of the Korean state was completely beyond his imagination, and he never imagined that Li Yuntian would completely compare the food of the Korean army to the food of the army of the Korean army, and the food of the food caught up with the wealthy family of the Korean country.

Of course, the salaries of the new army of the Korean state were provided by Li Yuntian, and the weak financial resources of the Korean state could not support the military salaries of the 100,000-strong army.

Kim Jong-seo was pleasantly surprised and worried at the same time, because the military supply of the new army of the DPRK was in the hands of Li Yuntian, which made Li Yuntian invisibly control the new army of the DPRK.

In any case, the Korean state will soon have an excellent fighting army, which will greatly benefit the Korean state in the long run.

"Lord Jin, who will be in charge after the reorganization of the new army is completed?" Li Xuan didn't expect that Li Yuntian would spend so much money on the new army of the Korean State, which was completely beyond his imagination, and then realized something, so he suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked calmly.

Because he was checked and balanced by the three divisions and one government, Li Xuan knew very well that it was important to have an armed force in his hands, which would be a deterrent to the three divisions and one government, so he was ready to vigorously win over the generals in charge of the new army and make those generals loyal to him.

"Your Royal Highness, the command of the new army belongs to the local generals, and the right to transfer is in the capital division yamen, and the generals of the capital division yamen will issue an order to transfer troops after consultation."

Jin Zongrui knew what Li Xuan meant, and replied after pondering for a while, "According to the custom of the Metropolitan Yamen, if you want to transfer troops, you need to use the seal of the commander, the deputy commander and the commander of the capital before you can issue a transfer order." ”

Li Xuan frowned slightly when he heard this, if you look at the customization of the Dusi Yamen, he has been excluded from the power system, and if you want to transfer troops, you must pass through the Dusi Yamen.

And Choi Yunde, the commander of the Yamen of the Korean Metropolitan Division, was previously the person of Li Yao, the king of Shouyang, and had a close relationship with Huang Xi, Huang Xi and Li Ji were out-and-out rivals, so Li Xuan, who was pushed to power by Li Ji, would definitely not be able to get the support of Cui Yunde, who held great power.

What especially makes Li Xuan feel helpless is that he has no way to check and balance Cui Runde, because Cui Runde's appointment power is in Daming's hands, not in his hands, and he wants to remove Cui Yande through Daming's consent.

Not only the DPRK Metropolitan Division, but also the DPRK Political Envoy Division, the DPRK Prosecutor's Office, and the Chief Inspectorate of the DPRK Metropolitan Procuratorate are all in Daming.

"Lord Kim, when the former king was alive, he relied on your lord very much, regarded him as my lord's minister of the humerus of Korea, and then handed over the defense of the northeast to your lord."

Li Xuan realized the seriousness of the situation, if he couldn't subdue the three divisions and one court, then he would not be able to take charge of the power of the Korean State, so he pondered for a while and said quietly, "Lord Jin, this king also believes in you, I don't know if you don't change your original intention?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, the ministers are loyal to the DPRK and will never have two hearts." Jin Zongrui was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up and bowed back.

"This king knows that Lord Jin is a loyal minister." Hearing this, the corners of Li Xuan's mouth suddenly showed a hint of a smile, and he said to Jin Zongrui with a look of relief, "A mainstay like Lord Jin, this king will definitely not live up to your heart of serving the country." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Jin Zongrui's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, and then he hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, he naturally heard the meaning of Li Xuan's words, and felt quite shocked in his heart, you must know that a year ago Li Xuan was still a noble son who was obsessed with music, but now his personality has become much gloomy, it seems that Li Xuan has not had a very happy time during this time.

"Sit." Li Xuan smiled slightly when he heard this, stretched out his hand to signal Jin Zongrui to sit down, and chatted with him about family life, talking and laughing, so that Jin Zongrui dealt with it carefully, for fear that one would accidentally say the wrong thing and offend Li Xuan.

After all, Li Xuan is now the king of Joseon, and his companion is like a tiger, and it is very dangerous to be with Li Xuan, who has not yet controlled the power of the country, and God knows if he will regard people who do not like him as enemies.

The next morning.

"Lord, there is news from the palace that Li Xuan vigorously wooed Jin Zongrui at the banquet last night, and wants Jin Zongrui to work for him." When Li Yuntian was practicing his sword in the courtyard, Yun Na walked quickly and stood aside, and after he finished practicing his sword, he stepped forward and whispered a report, telling Li Yuntian everything about the banquet.

Li Xuan would definitely be surprised if he knew that the situation when he met Jin Zongrui had been leaked, you must know that there are not many people who can stay at the banquet scene, and they are all his henchmen, and he never imagined that there would be spies sent by Li Yuntian among those henchmen who were trusted by him.

Obviously, Li Yuntian will never let Li Xuan act wantonly in Gyeongbokgung Palace, and he must control Li Xuan's every move, so he planted secret agents around Li Xuan to monitor Li Xuan's every word and deed.

Li Xuan has been in frequent contact with officials in the DPRK and China these days, and his words and deeds were truthfully reported by those secret agents, and then reported to Li Yuntian after being summarized by Yun Na.

"The king of Joseon is too hasty, and he can't wait to win over those officials before the king leaves, do you want to treat the king as nothing?" Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and he didn't care about Li Xuan's efforts to win over officials, he knew that Li Xuan was unwilling to be a puppet who was controlled by others.

"Lord Wang, shouldn't we do it?" Yun Na groaned when she heard this, lowered her voice and asked.

"Hmm." Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, and then he said to Yun Na, "You arrange it to solve this matter as soon as possible." ”

"Don't worry, your subordinates will do this errand well." A smile flashed at the corner of Yun Na's mouth, as long as Li Xuan was taken down, then the affairs of the Korean Kingdom would become much simpler.

At this moment, Ri would never have imagined that his plan to regain military and political power in Korea was doomed to fail before it had even begun.

If he was replaced by Li Ji or Li Jue, he would definitely stay honestly and wait until Li Yuntian left before making a move, but Li Xuan's experience and ability were far worse than those of his two elder brothers, and he was too composed, wanting to prove himself as soon as possible, but as a result, he would lose the crown of the king of Joseon as soon as possible, and Li Yuntian now had a perfect advantage, so there was a way to deal with him.

A few days later, the Metropolitan Procuratorate of North Korea.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate of the DPRK is the supervisory department that supervises the civil and military officials of the DPRK, and checks and controls the DPRK Political Envoy Division, the DPRK Prosecutor's Envoy Division, and the DPRK Metropolitan Office, and the two sides complement each other to jointly ensure the operation of the DPRK State institutions.

It is worth mentioning that the inspectors of the Korean Metropolitan Procuratorate are all Jinshi who were born in the imperial examination, and the children of the two classes of nobles cannot enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate by virtue of their status advantages.

Li Yuntian's explanation for this is very reasonable, because the supervision of the imperial history of the Ming Metropolitan Procuratorate is selected from the Jinshi, so according to the supervision of the Korean Imperial Procuratorate established by the Ming Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is natural to select people from Jinshi.

In this way, Li Yuntian set up a formidable opponent for the two classes of aristocratic officials who dominated the North Korean officialdom: the imperial examination officials, who were born in the civilian class.

In the past, because officials from two classes of nobles took charge of the power of the Joseon State and occupied middle and high-level official positions, those officials from the imperial examination could only be reduced to vassals and obtained middle and low-level official positions.

However, with the advent of the Korean Metropolitan Procuratorate, this phenomenon in the Korean officialdom will be broken, and those inspectors of the Imperial Examination who were born in the imperial examination of the Imperial Court have the strength and confidence to compete with the two classes of nobles of the Korean State.

For Li Yuntian, the officials who came from the imperial examination in terms of character, ability, and knowledge far surpassed those who obtained official positions by virtue of the favor of their families, and the use of science to obtain scholars will become the mainstream of the future officialdom of the Korean state, and those children of the two classes of nobles will no longer be able to enter the official career by virtue of the grace of their ancestors.

The Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate used to be the mansion of a wealthy merchant, but the rich merchant's family died in the rebellion of the King of Joseon who was killed that year, and it was confiscated because there was no heir.

Similar to the Ming Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Korean State is also divided into "roads", because the territory of the Korean State is known as the "Eight Provinces of Korea", so the Korean Metropolitan Procuratorate has eight provinces to supervise the imperial history, which are not subordinate to each other, and are directly responsible to the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, rather than to the emperor like the Ming Metropolitan Procuratorate.

As a result, Huang Xi, who is the imperial history of the capital, actually controls the power of the Imperial Procuratorate, and the only person Huang Xi needs to be responsible for is Li Yuntian, acting according to Li Yuntian's instructions, and completely leaving Li Xuan aside.

"Who?" On this morning, a young man in civilian clothes hurriedly came to the front of the Korean National Procuratorate, looked up at the plaque hanging on the door and walked inside, but was naturally stopped by the messenger guarding the door, and a stout officer glared at his eyes and scolded, "This is the important place of the yamen, and idle people are forbidden to enter." ”

"I'm a guard in the palace, and I have something important to ask to see Lord Yushi!" Seeing this, the young man in civilian clothes took out a waist card from his bosom and stretched it out in front of the stout officer, and whispered expressionlessly.

"Please!" The stout officer glanced at the waist card, and sure enough, it was the item of the palace guards, and he hurriedly bowed down and flashed aside, he usually scared the people, but he couldn't afford to provoke the palace guards.

The young man glanced at the movement around him vigilantly, put away his waist card, and followed the stout errand into the courtyard quickly, he would bring shocking news to Huang Xi.
