Chapter 511 North Korea

Another year passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, North Korea King Lee Yoo sat in the upper head, and a large number of North Korean officials in the hall were quarreling.

It has been ten years since Li Xu, who had already held the entire court in his hands, seemed to be indifferent to it.

After the Qing Dynasty threw away the capital in the second year of the Revolution, North Korea immediately sent envoys to the Central Plains to pay homage.

Showing extraordinary enthusiasm.

After all, after the Japanese riot in Renchen, Li Chao had a very strong sense of gratitude to the Ming Dynasty and regarded it as a parent who had recreated grace.

Although he was beaten twice by the Qing Dynasty and had to completely surrender to the Qing Dynasty, within it, Qiu Qing's emotions were always very marketable.

Even Li Xu, who faced the Qing Dynasty and absorbed the Qing Dynasty culture, continued the ideological policy of "respecting Zhou Siming" advocated by the previous kings Suzong and Yingzu, emphasizing respect for Zhou Siming and the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period.

In other words, during the Qing Dynasty's exchanges, the Li Dynasty also missed the Ming Dynasty's kindness toward North Korea.

Although it is a bit like being a female cousin and erecting a archway, this can also show the emotions within North Korea.

Therefore, in the second year of the Revolution, when Annan, Siam and other countries were still unresponsive, they were the first to curry favor with him.

Zhao Liang also gave them face and almost reiterated the treatment given to North Korea by the Ming Dynasty.

The trade volume between each other began to rise continuously.

Chen Jun needed some of the materials in several cities on Sakhalin Island, and originally some of the materials came from Japan and Korea. Now Chen Jun's immigration and exploration activities to the "Beihai" area have been more. He has already fought more expedition teams of Russians, so the natural and daily materials needed are more.

If you can choose nearby, who would like to pull over from afar?

Unless it is something like iron, Asahi's price is even more expensive than Chen Jun pulled it away from him.

But no matter what, this is a good thing for North Korea.

They are not Japan, which has ambitions for the "Beihai". They only want to live their lives peacefully. They have no conflict of interest with Zhao Liang's continuous development policy towards North Korea.

Although in this process, North Korea's enthusiasm for the Central Plains has deteriorated, because Zhao Chen abolished Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, promoted utilitarianism, and even more promoted merchants, which was incompatible with the scholars' thoughts in Korea.

Li Xu especially praised the great scholar of the old school, Song Shilie, and called him the "Songzi" who inherited the Taoist tradition of Zhu Xi. This also regarded Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism as the outline. The so-called "the first priority to correct the world and cultivate the national meridian"!

But this is OK.

No matter how dissatisfied the monarch and ministers of the Korean king and ministers were dissatisfied, they would not have a slight severance from the Central Plains. When the Qing Dynasty was rising, did they also pinch their noses and admit it?

Now Zhao Chen and the others will only be the same.

At worst, will they continue to promote Zhu Neo-School in their own territory?

But all this was different during the three years of the revolution. The Korean envoy who came to the Central Plains secretly brought a batch of golden seeds back.

It is impossible to hide the matter of Jinsei from outsiders.

However, Zhao Liang never let go and issued strict orders to prohibit all seeds from flowing out.

Although it is difficult to say the strength of this "strictly forbidden" accurately, this is what it means on the surface.

However, how could the Korean monarch and ministers who had long heard of Jinze Daming resist this temptation?

Even if rice is their agricultural entity, the area of ​​wheat is not small.

In fact, as early as the second year of the Revolution, sporadic seeds had already flowed to North Korea.

However, the Korean royal family began to plant in the true sense only after the third year of the revolution. During the fourth year of the revolution, the planting area further expanded, and it directly spread from the royal farms to the aristocratic families. In this way, in the fifth year of the revolution, all the whole country and south of Korea were found. And this secret also spread to every corner of North Korea.

It became an empty secret.

After that, they waited for the envoys who came to the Chen Dynasty to question the crime.

If you can hand over one or two scapegoats and fool this matter, the Korean monarch and ministers will definitely be happy to do this.

But now the Zhongyuan envoy directly asked Li Xu about the crime. The implication was not only to ask North Korea to eradicate all the golden seed wheat fields and destroy all the wheat seeds, but Li Xu himself also wanted to prepare to go to the Central Plains to apologize.

This insult is a bit too strong.

The entire Korean court cannot accept it.

Li Xu himself felt unacceptable.

However, the performance of the envoys in the Central Plains made the entire Korean and opposition feel excited, let alone the fleet floating outside Jianghua Island.

In the face of real pressure (power) and threat, the North Korean ministers couldn't help but split. Some people felt that they should accept it, some insisted on opposing it, and some people didn't know what to do, but King Li Xu followed the order.

Of course, Li Xu was unwilling to go to the Central Plains.

Not to mention shame or shame, what he fears most is that once he goes to Central Plains, he will not wait for his own people to arrive in Chenzhou, and he is afraid that his only seedling will die.

Li Xu got his son in September of the 47th year of Qianlong, and was Li Chun, the son of Wenxiao, born to Yipin Cheng. However, in May and September of the 51st year of Qianlong, Wenxiao and Yipin Cheng died one after another. In November, Changxi Jun Li Zhan (the nephew of Li Xu) died suddenly. On December 1st, the princess Jin (Queen Zhenchun) suddenly came out to expose Hong Guorong (the greatest hero of Li Xu ascended the throne, and was demoted to death by greed for power). During his lifetime, Changxi Jun wanted to adopt Changxi Jun to be adopted by Yuan Concubine Hong (the sister of Hong Guorong) as his adopted son, and become the chief of the ancestor.

On December 5, Changxijun's grandfather Song Lexiu reported that Changxijun's sudden death was related to the former leader Jin Shangzhe's political consultation, and the former training general, Ju Shanfu, was humble and his son.

Later, it was found that Ju Shanfu and others had participated in the frame-up of Prince Zhuang Xian (Li Xu's father). They were worried that Li Xu would take revenge, so they decided to collude with Chang Xijun to "anyway" and overthrow Li Xu.

When the incident happened, Kim Sang-chul, Goo Sun-fu and others were executed, and Hong Guorong's remnants Jin Woo-jin (son of Kim Sang-chul), Song De-gwang and others were also punished one after another.

Only then did Li Xu eliminate all the opposition forces around him.

In the 52nd year of Qianlong (the third year of the Revolution), Zhengzu appointed Park Junyuan's daughter as a concubine (Suibin Pu), and just gave birth to a son this year.

You said how did Li Xu dare to leave Seoul easily?

If this only seedling dies again, he is nearly 40 years old and has no children, and even a daughter, to whom will the throne be passed on?

Poor his two half-brothers, one died in a frightened state of exile at the age of seventeen. The other eldest son, Changxijun, Li Zhan, died suddenly and was also sent to Ganghua Island. The second man, Changshun, and the third man, Changde-gu, died young, and only two sons who were still unaware of their growth.

He was afraid that once he left, not only the only seedlings in the palace would not be able to be protected, but also the brothers and family on Jianghua Island would not be able to be protected.

Not to mention anything else, the old lady in the palace (Mr. Zhenchun, adoptive mother of Li Xu, could not spare Li Yin, and many adults could not tolerate Li Yin.

When the incident happened, many ministers asked to execute Li Yin, but Li Xu was disobedient. He even went on a hunger strike for four days before blocking the court officials' mouths.

Last year, he secretly summoned Li Yin from Jianghua Island to Seoul. After being discovered, his adoptive mother repeatedly asked the ministers to stop him, but Li Xu refused to listen. So the old lady directly ordered the inner officials to tie Li Yin back to Jianghua Island. Li Xu wanted to leave the palace to stop him, but was forced to block him back to the palace by the ministers at Dunhua Gate.

In this way, it is completely imagined that the reactions of the court and the people after Li Yin's son was made the crown prince.
