The next day, the two Ming army teams entered Seoul one after the other, and a large number of people gathered on the street to watch the excitement, pointing to several carriages in the procession and talking to each other.

Everyone knew that there were survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace in these two Ming army ranks, and the Ming army stationed in Seoul specially went out of the city to meet them in order to ensure their safety.

With the arrival of the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace, the alert level in Seoul has been raised to the highest level, and the streets are full of armed Ming soldiers, and the ruffians in the city have been warned not to cause trouble on these days, or they will be moths fighting the fire and killing themselves.

"Who do you think is sitting in the car from Gyeongbokgung Palace?" In the crowd of onlookers, a middle-aged man couldn't help but ask the people around him.

"It seems that the female officials and guards in the palace, the night His Royal Highness the Lord died, fled on the night of his death, and I heard that there was an affair between the two." A tall, thin man replied.

Now there are rumors about the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and all kinds of rumors and speculations are filling the streets, and no one knows which rumors are true.

"These two fires happened too strangely, and it is rumored that they seem to be related to the Lord of Shouyang." At this time, another man on the side talked about another topic, lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

"I heard that the fire was set by the prime minister, in order to frame the blame for the prince of Shouyang." Soon someone came up with a different opinion, "Just like the last time His Royal Highness the Prince was assassinated!" ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, many people around showed a look of sudden realization, feeling that this statement was reasonable, and the last Li Jue assassination case finally showed that Li Jue did it himself, and it had nothing to do with Li Jue.

Naturally, it was Li Ji's handiwork to blame Li Ji for the arson, and in order to muddy the situation, he sent a large number of people to secretly spread the remark that Li Ji sent people to set the fire, in an attempt to divert Li Yuntian's attention.

Seoul Division.

"Lord Wang, the people from Gyeongbokgung Palace are here!" When Li Yuntian was making dumplings with Liu Zhen and Hongluan, Yun Na came in and said.

"The two ladies are busy first, and the husband is waiting to eat dumplings at night." Hearing this, Li Yuntian stood up and said a word to Liu Zhen and Hongluan with a smile, and then led Yunna to meet the people of Gyeongbokgung Palace, today is Hongluan's birthday, so he personally cooks and makes dumplings.

"Sister Hongluan, it seems that Xianggong will deal with this place quickly, and we will be busy in the future." Glancing at the back of Li Yuntian leaving, Liu Zhen smiled and said to Hongluan, who was sitting on the side.

After Li Ji was taken by Li Yuntian, the officialdom of Seoul was bound to cause a shock, and if Li Ji wanted to take advantage of the chaos to push Li Xuan to the throne, he would definitely be strongly blocked by Huang Xi, and neither side could overpower the other, so they could only fall into a stalemate, and then came to seek Li Yuntian's support.

As a dignified prince of Daming, it is certainly inconvenient for Li Yuntian to intervene too much in the affairs of the Korean state, so Liu Zhen and Hongluan have a place to use, and convey Li Yuntian's meaning through gatherings with those high-ranking officials and magnates of the Korean state, so as not to let those people guess his intentions.

In the living room in the front yard of the lecture hall, several men and women wearing Korean official uniforms stood cramped in front of the hall, waiting for Li Yuntian's reception with fear.

"I've seen the prince." Seeing Li Yuntian come in, the men and women hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"You are Zhao Shanggong of the main hall?" After Li Yuntian sat down in the seat at the top of the place, he looked at a middle-aged woman in green clothes standing in front of those people and asked quietly.

"Xiaguan has seen the prince." Although the middle-aged woman is already middle-aged, she still has charm, and at a glance, she knew that she was a beauty when she was young, and after listening to Li Yuntian's question, she hurriedly bowed and replied.

"Zhao Shanggong, this king asks you, is what you have explained true?" Li Yuntian glanced at Zhao Shanggong when he heard this, and asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Wang, what the lower officials and others said is true, and if there is half a lie, I am willing to be punished in any way." Zhao Shanggong knelt on the ground with his legs bent, and said to Li Yuntian with sad eyes, "His Royal Highness the Lord died too unjustly!" ”

"Okay, this king is going to try this case in the righteous forbidden mansion in three days, and if what you say is true, this king will let the perpetrators be punished accordingly." Li Yuntian nodded and said solemnly to Zhao Shanggong

"Thank you, Lord Wang." When Zhao Shanggong heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yuntian, and his excitement was beyond words.

"Come on, take them down and settle them down, and no one will be allowed to see them without the king's order!" Li Yuntian waved his hand to the guards on the side, and ordered in a deep voice, he already knew the confessions of Zhao Shanggong and others, and this time he just wanted to confirm it in person.

Judging from Zhao Shanggong's reaction, he didn't think that Zhao Shanggong and others would retract their confessions, so it would be beneficial to his next plan.

"Lord Wang, everything is ready now, only the east wind is owed!" After Zhao Shanggong and his party were taken down by the guards to settle down, Yun Na bowed her hand to Li Yuntian and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the prince on the completion of the Korean strategy." ”

"This is only the first step in the DPRK's strategy, as the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country, and it is difficult to sit on the country, and how to manage the military and political affairs of the DPRK is the focus of the DPRK's strategy." Li Yuntian smiled and waved his hand, thinking that it was still too early for Yan Sheng to win at this time, and only by governing the Korean state well could he really complete the will of the orthodox emperor.

"Lord Wang, now that the eight provinces of Korea are in my hands, my subordinates believe that as long as time passes, the Korean country will be governed by the prince comfortably and prosperously!" Yun Na knew what Li Yuntian meant, so she looked at Li Yuntian with admiration.

In Yun Na's view, if the envoy who came to Korea this time was not Li Yuntian, I am afraid that the Korean country has now been forcibly annexed by the Ming Dynasty, but the consequence of this is the instability of the political situation in the Korean State.

In order to make the eastern sea of Daming become the inland sea of Daming and no longer be controlled by others in the future, Li Yuntian resolutely came to Daming this time, and his broad mind made Yun Na extremely admired.

Three days later, in the evening, the Maharaja's Mansion in Shouyang.

Several figures came to the back door of the mansion, and a man stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the servant who came out glanced at the leading man standing outside the door and let them in.

"Take the official to see the Maharaja, and the official has important affairs to come to report." After entering the door, the leading man said in a deep voice to the servant who opened the door.

When the servant heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led people to hurry to Li Jin's residence.

"Did something happen?" At this time, Li Jin was already ready to go to bed, and when he learned that an important guest was visiting, his face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he hurriedly asked the maid to dress him, and then walked quickly to check.

"Master Cui, why are you here at this time, what happened?" In a wing room in the backyard, Li Yao couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw the person who came at this time.

The person who came to visit was none other than Cui Li, and Li Yao was very puzzled by the fact that he had come to visit late at night and had gone through the back door.

"Dajun, Xia Guan didn't expect the Ming Army to be so powerful, and in just two or three days, the matter of those two fires was investigated on Xia Guan's head."

Cui Li's face showed a gloomy look, and after bowing his hand to Li Yao, he said, "Xiaguan came to bid farewell to the monarch this time, Xiaguan is preparing to leave the country, and the family members in the city still hope that the monarch will take care of him." ”

"Master Cui, how did the Ming army find you?" Li Yao was taken aback when he heard this, he never expected that the Ming army would find the clues to the two arson cases so quickly, you must know that Cui Li has always acted cautiously.

"Alas, due to the urgency of the situation, some of the subordinates were not thoughtful, and then left a handle." The corners of Cui Li's mouth showed a bitter smile, and he looked at Li Yao helplessly, "Xiaguan believes that the Ming army will soon find out about Xiaguan's body, so Xiaguan is going to go out of the city tonight, as long as Xiaguan leaves, then this clue will be broken." ”

"Cherish all the way, you have to worry about the affairs at home, and this lord will definitely take care of it." Li Yao's heart sank when he heard this, and then comforted Cui Li in a deep voice.

He should have expected what the two fires would cause, just like what Cui Li said Because the preparation time was too hasty, it would definitely leave a lot of clues for the Ming army, as long as the Ming army could find Cui Li, so it was best for Cui Li to disappear in Seoul now, so that the Ming army would not be able to find Cui Li.

Although Cui Li and Li Jin have a close relationship, as long as the Ming army can't catch Cui Li, then naturally Li Jin can't be easily moved, just like Li Ying, the king of Anping, who has a very good relationship with Li Jin on weekdays, but he still chooses to conspire with Li Jue to calculate Li Jin.

Therefore, Li Yao now wishes that Cui Li would leave quickly, so as not to implicate him.

"Maharaja, take care." Cui Li seemed to be in a hurry to get out of the city, so he didn't stay long, and led a few of his men to leave in a hurry after bowing his hand to Li Yao.

"I hope he can escape the pursuit of the Ming Army!" Li Yao stood in front of the window expressionlessly looking at the back of Cui Li leaving, and secretly prayed in his heart, he hoped that Cui Li would better die under the knife of the pursuing Ming army, so that there would be no proof of death.

Although Cui Li is Li Jin's right-hand man, when it comes to Li Jin's vital interests, Li Jin will naturally abandon him without hesitation to protect himself.

At the same time, in a gambling house in Seoul.

The gambling hall was crowded with people, smoky miasma, crowded with gamblers who came to gamble, shouting and screaming one by one, as if crazy.

"Big, big, big......" A sturdy man sat around a gambling table, with some broken silver and silver coins from Daming in front of him, his bloodshot eyes stared at the dice cup on the table, and shouted loudly, looking like a crazy gambler.

At this moment, the sturdy man didn't notice that several tall men were quietly approaching him, pushing aside the several gamblers around him.

The gamblers were suddenly unhappy, and wanted to teach each other a lesson, but they found that the men were all big-shouldered and round-waisted, burly, and obviously half a head taller than them.
