After Liu Zhen spread the news that Li Yuntian praised Li Xuan for his "kingly demeanor", the Linying Maharaja's Mansion was suddenly full of people, and there was an endless stream of people who came to visit Li Xuan.

Li Ji is naturally full of joy about this, fortunately, he did not give up hope when the son Li Jue fell last year, and pushed Li Xuan out in time, who would have thought that Li Xuan is really about to become the king of Joseon now, then he is the hero of Conglong, and he is also the first hero.

Now that Li Ji has the upper hand in this power struggle in Seoul, then the officials who used to join Huang Xi's camp in Li Ji's camp came to take refuge with a cheeky face, anyway, these wall grasses tend to be inflammatory, and they don't know how to write the word "shame" at all.

Li Ji did not refuse those wall-to-wall officials, although these people did not have a position but were the mainstream of officialdom, so he must control them in his hands, so as not to be used by Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin.

In other words, Li Ji needed to expand his strength to suppress Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin, so the more officials who defected to him, the better.

Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin are undoubtedly quite disappointed by this, which means that the two lost the battle with Li Ji, and Li Xuan will definitely reuse Li Ji after succeeding to the throne, and the two will have a hard time at that time.

However, Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin did not lose it for long before they got the good news, Li Yuntian unexpectedly abolished the parliamentary government of the Korean state on the grounds that power was too centralized, and on the basis of the parliamentary government, he imitated the Ming Dynasty and set up the three divisions of the Korean political envoys, the Korean envoys, and the Korean metropolitan procuratorate, as well as the Korean Metropolitan Procuratorate, which were in charge of the military and political power and the supervisory power of the Korean state, and the major state affairs should be decided by the chief of the three divisions and the chief of the metropolitan procuratorate.

Among them, Li Ji served as the political envoy of the DPRK in charge of civil affairs, Choi Yundeok served as the commander of the DPRK Metropolitan Department in charge of military affairs, Liu Sangmin served as the prosecutor in charge of criminal proceedings, and Huang Xi served as the imperial envoy in charge of supervision.

The four are not subordinate to each other, and are directly responsible to the king of Joseon, and are appointed by the king of Joseon but need to report to the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yuntian's move is tantamount to saving the lives of Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin, if the parliamentary government still exists, then Li Ji will definitely rely on Li Xuan to suppress the two.

But now Li Yuntian has withdrawn the parliamentary government, and divided the power of the parliamentary government into four parts and divided them to Li Ji, Huang Xi, Liu Shangmin and Cui Yande, and the four parties are not subordinate to each other, so it is not easy for Li Ji to make trouble with them, and it also makes Li Xuan get rid of Li Ji's control as much as possible.

Obviously, Li Yuntian did this to strengthen the power of the Joseon king on the surface, but in fact he strengthened his control over the Joseon state by controlling the personnel appointment power of the three chiefs of the Joseon Dynasty and the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Li Yuntian's dismissal of the parliamentary government and the establishment of the Three Divisions and the Metropolitan Procuratorate following the example of the Ming Dynasty caused an uproar in the Seoul officialdom, which was a great event for the officials of the DPRK state, and the first to oppose it was naturally Li Ji.

Originally, Li Ji waited for Li Xuan to suppress Huang Xi and Yoo Sang-min after ascending the throne of the Joseon king, and drove the two out of the parliamentary government and replaced them with his own people, so that the parliamentary government would be his world.

However, Li Yuntian's move to revoke the government and set up the Third Division and the Metropolitan Procuratorate undoubtedly made his plan come to naught, and the power in his hands not only did not increase but became smaller, and he could no longer suppress Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin.

There are two sides to everything, some people oppose one thing, some people support it, Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin were surprised and delighted after learning the news that Li Yuntian was going to set up the third division of North Korea, so that the two of them got rid of the fate of being suppressed by Li Ji.

Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin naturally knew that Li Yuntian's move was to strengthen his control over the Korean state, and in the future, the appointment of the three chief ministers of the Korean government and the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate would have to be approved by the Ming Dynasty, and the Korean state would rely more on the Ming Dynasty.

However, this is nothing in the eyes of the two, and the Korean state is the most important and influential vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, so it is not legally inappropriate for Li Yuntian to do this.

Besides, the Ming Dynasty is a high-ranking **** state, and the Korean State is just a poor vassal state, and it is also a good thing for the Ming Dynasty to pay attention to the affairs of the Korean State, at least in the future, it can get more benefits from the Ming Dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that there are also many pro-Ming officials in the officialdom of the DPRK State, so they are overjoyed and excited by Li Yuntian's move.

And the people of the Korean State are also proud to be the people of the Ming Dynasty in private, and naturally they will not be hostile to Li Yuntian's actions, you must know that they are not only the people of the Korean State but also the people of the Ming Empire.

In the system of the Ming Empire, the Korean state was the most intimate vassal state with the Ming Dynasty, so the people of the Korean State had the most sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

What is particularly important is that Li Yuntian proposed to withdraw the government and re-establish the Third Division and the Metropolitan Procuratorate when Huang Xi and Liu Shangmin were about to lose power, which undoubtedly saved the two of them from fire and water, and they would definitely support it vigorously to prevent being suppressed by Li Ji.

In fact, with Li Yuntian in Seoul, none of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Korean State dared to raise objections, and they could not open their mouths to refuse.

After all, Li Yuntian came to Korea this time to represent the Ming Emperor, and he has accumulated very high prestige through the cases of Li Yao and Li Jue.

Taking Li Ji as an example, he had a negative attitude towards the establishment of the Third Department of North Korea and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but he could not say it openly and could only complain secretly, and if he annoyed Li Yuntian, he could also replace him.

The only thing that comforted Li Ji was that he was given the post of political envoy in charge of government affairs, which was the most important among the three directors of the DPRK, and he was responsible for taxes, grains, and everything, which could be regarded as a comfort to him.

However, what made Li Ji feel depressed was that his old rival Huang Xi had become the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate with the power of supervision, so that he would definitely be hindered in the future, and he had to find a way to deal with Huang Xi.

Among the three divisions and the prefects of the Metropolitan Procuratorate announced by Li Yuntian, the most proud of them was Choi Yundeok, the commander of the Korean Metropolitan Division, who could only become the deputy commander at most according to his qualifications, and the position of the commander was Kim Jong-rui.

But because Jin Zongrui had offended Li Yuntian before, the post of commander of the Korean capital, which originally belonged to Jin Zongrui, naturally flew away, allowing Cui Yunde to pick up a big bargain, including Jin Zongrui's six towns in the northeast, and the entire Korean army would be subject to his control.

Kim Jong-seo was extremely disappointed after learning that Choi Yun-deok had become the commander of the Korean capital, which can be said to be the biggest setback in his career, he did not even enter the door of the Korean capital and did not hold any position.

Therefore, Kim Jong-seo, who felt a sense of anger in his heart, did not attend the meeting held by Choi Yun-deok after the establishment of the Joseon Metropolitan Division, and recuperated at home on the grounds that he was ill.

A subtle smile flashed on the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth after knowing this, it seemed that he had successfully aroused Jin Zongrui's anger, which meant that Jin Zongrui was not the kind of saint who did not enter the oil and salt, and also had his own selfish desires and weaknesses.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, Jin Zongrui is actually the most suitable candidate to serve as the commander of the Korean capital, but this person is too arrogant, and he must first subdue him before he can be entrusted with important tasks.

A few days later, the port of Incheon.

Escorted by the Ming sergeants, Cui Li's family arrived at the dock and boarded a three-masted warship parked on the dock, where they would be exiled to northern Xinjiang to serve as an army according to Li Yuntian's verdict, thousands of miles away from Korea, a barren and strange bitter cold place.

Mrs. Cui looked sad and helped her parents to board the pedal of the three-masted warship, although she was imprisoned in the prison for two or three months, her spirit and complexion seemed to be very good, in fact they were treated preferentially in the prison, except for the loss of freedom, three meals a day and nothing special at home.

The cell boss told them that Cui Li had been kind to him before, so this was his reward for Cui Li, which made Mrs. Cui feel relieved, for fear that her parents and children would suffer in prison.

Mrs. Choi knew that her departure from North Korea would be separated from Choi Li, so she wanted to see Choi Li before leaving, but unfortunately she was rejected by the people in the government, which will become an eternal regret in her heart.

After boarding the three-masted warship, Mrs. Cui stood in front of the side of the ship and looked at the scenery on the shore, she knew that she would never have a chance to come back in her life, and wanted to see the mountains, rivers, flowers and trees of her hometown again.

"These cabins are your rooms, you can tell me if you need anything." On the deck, there was a naval attache with the rank of lieutenant, and he said after leading Mrs. Cui and her party into the cabin.

"More military masters." Mrs. Cui originally thought that they would be locked up in a warehouse-like place, but she didn't expect to be assigned to a spacious, bright, clean and tidy room, and she suddenly felt very happy in her heart, and hurriedly thanked the lieutenant military attaché.

"Mrs. Cui, my family is invited, please come with me." After Mrs. Choi had settled the family properly, the lieutenant military attache turned to the side and reached out to make a gesture of please.

Mrs. Cui was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and she didn't know why the lieutenant attaché's boss was looking for her, but she didn't dare to say more, so she followed the lieutenant and left and entered a spacious and tidy cabin, where a man in military uniform looked out the window with his back to him.

There was a creak, and just as Mrs. Cui was secretly guessing who the person who looked out of the boat was, the lieutenant military attache who had led her in closed the door and retreated.

"The prisoner knocks before the lord." This made Mrs. Cui nervous, and wanted to kneel down to salute the adult by the window.

"Madame!" Without waiting for Mrs. Cui to kneel, the man standing in front of the window suddenly shouted and slowly turned around.

When Mrs. Cui heard the word "madam", the whole person was stunned, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she looked up at the person by the window.

"Husband!" When she saw clearly the appearance of the Ming military attache who had been transferred to the rank of colonel, Mrs. Cui couldn't help shouting, the Ming military attache who appeared in front of her turned out to be Cui Li, who should have been locked up in prison!
