Chapter 1578

At this moment, the voice of another eunuch suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Your Highness, Master Zheng, please come and ask for your visit! You are now waiting outside the Ideological Hall."

"Come here so early to meet?" Li Hui was a little surprised, but he quickly returned to his peace. "Okay, let him go to the hall first, and I'll go there immediately."

Li Hui was very diligent when he was a king in the past, but after the restoration, he was not so diligent because of his health. He often did not hold court meetings with his ministers, and would rather summon some capable ministers in private. As a minister in charge of the government, Jin Xiguo often went to and from the Gyeongbok Palace to ask for his visit, and he could enter the palace without asking for instructions.

However, it is rare to come so early to ask for a meeting, and I don’t know what it is for.

After changing his clothes, under the guidance of the eunuch, Li Hui walked into his study in the Ideological and Political Hall where he handled daily affairs.

"See Your Highness!" As soon as I saw him, Jin Xiguo fell to his knees on the ground.

Although he was very respectful and always tried his best to assist him as the minister of the government, Li Hui actually did not like him because the minister's mind was too lively and he did not really fear him. If it were at the beginning, he would never use such ministers, but no one could use them after the restoration of the country, so he had to take him as the prime minister. Besides, he now knows that not many ministers surrendered to him.

"My dear come here so early to meet you, what's the point?" Li Hui sat on the throne with the help of the eunuch, while asking Jin Xuguo.

"Your Highness, I have a very important matter. I have to disturb you. I would like to ask you to forgive me." Jin Xiguo still knelt on the ground, "Do you still remember what I said when I paid homage to Your Highness before the Prince of the Central Court came to Goryeo?"

After asking this, Li Hui didn't react for a moment. As he got older, his memory became worse and worse. He thought for a while before he finally recalled the conversation between them. Yes, there was endless darkness, just a dialogue.

"You... are you talking about establishing an heir?"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Jin Xiguo replied immediately, "I would like to ask Your Highness, it has been nearly a month now. Your Highness's heart? Is it already a good idea?"

"I have made up my mind about this matter, so I don't have to be too anxious." When Li Hui thought that the other party had actually come to see him early in the morning for such a thing, he couldn't help but feel a little bored and casually told him.

"If your highness has a perfect plan, please tell me, I will start making arrangements now." He did not expect that Jin Xiguo was not repelled by his perfunctory behavior, but continued to question him.

"Love?" Li Hui didn't understand why. In theory, an official like Jin Xiguo, who is very active, should be able to see that he doesn't want to talk about this issue now.

"The establishment of a successor is a major event for the country. As the minister of the government, I must participate in the news." Even though he had already suggested so clearly, Jin Xiguo still had no intention of retreating, and continued to ask, "I dare to ask Your Highness, who do you want now? I must ask clearly before I can prepare early."

"Jin discusses politics!" Li Hui's voice was heavier.

"I am just for the sake of the country, so I would like to forgive you." Jin Xiguo still did not retreat, as if he had made up some decisions. "Your Highness, the situation is urgent. Does Your Highness still want to see that Goryeo will break out soon?"

"How could there be trouble!" Li Hui stopped the other party with a stern shout. Then, he realized that he was a little disobedient and quickly slowed down his tone, "Is my dear, so I am anxious because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived?"

"I don't think that the arrival of the Crown Prince is a bad thing." Jin Xuguo replied in a low voice, "On the contrary, I think the best way now is to take advantage of the fact that the Crown Prince is still here to plead with him and make him agree to our candidates. This will be a great good thing for China and North Korea to our country, and at least it can avoid disputes among those who disobey."

"Good thing? What's the good thing?" Li Hui asked, "We were having conflicts with the mission before. Now we would ask His Highness to beg for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We will inevitably be taken advantage of by the mission members. Don't forget that they are now surrounding His Royal Highness every day."

"Just because they revolve around the prince of the Central Korean government every day, we should take the lead and make an heir, right?" Jin Xiguo faced his lord with an attitude that he had never seen before. "Your Highness, there has been a rumor in the outside world recently... Many people are doubting that you are reluctant to establish an heir because of your own selfishness and are unwilling to lose your power."

"You...you..." Li Hui was furious and slapped the table hard, stopping the other party's words.

He didn't understand why Jin Xiguo was so strange today, but this kind of rebellious behavior had completely angered him. If it were him in the past, he might have ordered the arrest of this guy who was indifferent to the king.

But it doesn't work now. His control over the court is not as strong as before. If he changed his face in a hurry, it would only bring chaos. It is also because of this that he barely maintained his last bit of calmness.

"Who said these words! Arrest all these traitors who slandered the emperor!" After a moment, he shouted at Jin Xiguo. He used this method to express his anger. If he was a little more tactful, the minister in charge of the government should know that he would stop talking.

"There are many controversies outside, but it's not just one or two people who say that. How can I catch them?" Jin Xiguo suddenly sneered at this time, "If Your Highness no longer insists on his own, but establishes his heir for the sake of our country's reign, then the rumors outside must have been calmed..."

This attitude of implicit rebuttal and even ridicule finally made Li Hui unable to restrain himself from being furious.

"Jin Xiguo!" He no longer politely called the other party, but directly called out his name, "You are enough! Get out!!"

"It made Your Highness angry, and I was frightened!" Seeing the king's rage, Jin Xunguo knelt down and accused him of guilt, but there was no panic on his face. "But Your Highness can repel the ministers, but whether to repel these violent objections, please think twice..."

Is Jin Xiguo so blinded by the enthusiasm of worrying about the country and the people, or is it really crazy? Li Hui had no time to tell clearly, but he had clearly seen that the minister in charge of the government was shaking his authority in an unconcealed way - and intentionally.

If he wasn't crazy, he must have something to rely on. Only then would he run to the palace to blatantly confront him and blatantly what kind of reliance is it to make him dare to speak to him like this?

The terrible memories came to my mind again, and the nightmare that night made him feel cold from the bottom of his heart again. He had experienced a betrayal and never wanted to experience another time.

"Come! Come! Take him! Take him!" Li Hui shouted, preparing to ask the eunuch to detain the minister first and then see what was going on.

The eunuchs immediately walked in, but before they could get close to the minister of the government, Jin Xiguo stood up on his own and looked around.

"You all stop here!"

His performance made the group of eunuchs startle and suddenly stopped. A large group of people squeezed into the room, and the heavy breathing sounds came one after another, making Li Hui even more uncomfortable.

"Jin Xiguo, do you want to rebel?" He shouted again, and then drove the eunuchs again, "What are you stopping to do!"

"Your Highness, please let them retreat, so as not to hurt everyone's kindness." Jin Xuguo sighed, "Your Highness wouldn't think that if I had no support, I would run to His Majesty directly to say these words, right?"

"What is your support...? Who is encouraging you to rebel?" Li Hui asked tremblingly. "You... do you still want to start the palace and change it? Don't forget... Don't forget that I am the Chinese and Koreans who re-established the throne. If you dare to do something, the Chinese and Koreans will never spare you, the traitor! And... Now the Crown Prince himself is in Jingfu Palace. Do you still dare to do something in front of him...you..."

When he said this, Li Hui seemed to have been struck by lightning, and was stunned for a moment, and he could never say the rest. He suddenly realized that before he could realize it, a huge crisis was approaching him, just like that night

"Your Highness is supported by the Chinese and Koreans. Now China and Koreans are in great power. If we do not have the approval of the Chinese and Koreans, of course we will not be able to treat Your Highness the same as before..." Jin Xiguo replied calmly, "So, although everyone has always been lingering in fear of Your Highness, they have endured it until now."

"But you have now received the approval of His Highness the Crown Prince?" Li Hui asked again. "How did they...what did you confuse him?"

Seeing that they had actually spoken to this point, the eunuchs felt something was wrong, so they stopped, and then silently left the room. The chaotic breathing and footsteps gradually disappeared, causing Li Hui's already messy thoughts to gradually recover to a little sober.

"It's not a confusion, I just told him the truth. Your Highness has no heir and has never made an heir, which has left a root of chaos in the future. As the sect leader, the Han Dynasty certainly needs to solve this disaster." Jin Xuguo replied with a sigh, "Your Highness is the one who presides over justice and uses his own selfishness to hinder the country's destiny. Isn't it your Highness?"

"What justice! It's just your own selfishness." Li Hui refuted the other party mercilessly, "What do you want?"

"Actually, it's not like that. It's just to determine an heir to the court, the people and the people, and to allow our country's destiny to continue." Jin Xuguo sneered, "So your highness should not panic. This time, your highness will not let you taste the pain of wandering."

"You...you..." Li Hui felt anxious and couldn't speak.

He knew that he did not have much prestige in the palace now, let alone outside the palace. If he really lost the support of the Chinese and Koreans, his status would be in danger.

"Have you controlled the palace?"

"And just this morning, the soldiers from the Han embassy had entered the capital from outside the city and surrounded Jingfu Palace. I believe that his highness also knew that there were probably few guards in the palace willing to sacrifice their lives to protect His Highness. If His Highness went out to take a look, he would definitely understand the current situation." Jin Xiguo was still sneering, no matter how much he said he hurt the other party, "Oh, I forgot that His Highness could no longer go and see outside."

Li Hui felt even colder. Judging from the fearless performance of Jin Xun Kingdom, what he said should be true. Now the Han army should have controlled the palace and the entire capital. Besides, what if there is no control? Could there be someone who will rise up to serve the king and resist the orders of the Crown Prince of the Central Dynasty for himself? I think about it and know that it is impossible.

"..." Li Hui ignored the other party's ridicule. He only felt powerless and heartbroken now. So, you have long surrendered to the Central Koreans and become accomplices of the tiger... and brought them to coerce the emperor?"

"I don't know where your highness will start." Jin Xiguo shook his head slightly, and seemed dissatisfied. "China and North Korea are the sect leader of our country. As a minister, it is appropriate for me to respect the saint's will. How can I be accomplice the tiger? In addition, if you want to be accomplice the tiger, your highness will be restored by the power of the Central Korea and become a king for so many years, but I don't see that I always feel guilty?"

When Li Hui was in power for the first time, he favored a small group of favorite ministers and suppressed the ministers very much. Although he was a Northern People's Party, Jin Xu Guoxin was still very dissatisfied with him. So, at this time, he no longer wanted to be polite to this king. "Okay, now I guess your highness has clearly known his situation, right? I still want to advise you not to do meaningless things anymore."

"You...who do you let the crown prince establish?" Li Hui's heart was already cold, but he didn't have the anger he had just now. He knew that in this situation, resistance was meaningless and could only act according to the crown prince's will, but he wanted to know what kind of result was stipulated for himself.

"Now your Highness is willing to be Li Jun, the youngest son of Li Jun, Qingpingjun." Jin Xiguo replied calmly, "So I hope that your Highness will issue an edict today to the whole country, adopt him to his own knees, and inherit the country's fortunes."

"It's Qingpingjun?" Li Hui was quite surprised when she heard this candidate, but finally shook her head and sighed, "Forget it, forgot, what else can I say now?"

"That's right, Your Highness really doesn't have much to argue with now." Jin Xiguo nodded calmly, "I'll tell your Highness the truth. If Your Highness cooperates and obeys everyone's arrangements, Your Highness will not make things difficult for Your Highness again. Your Highness can at least continue to be the king."

"Then I still want to thank you?" Li Hui also laughed sarcastically.

"Your Highness must not forgive me, but I have really tried my best. I can say that I have a clear conscience." Jin Xiguo seemed to have saved Li Hui's throne because of his own reasoning. "If your Highness finds it really unbearable, you can rest now and issue an edict later."

The implication is that Li Hui no longer has the right to refuse, and at most he will just wait for a while. After all, there is no difference between Li Hui, a blind man, agreeing or not. If he really doesn't cooperate, just take the national seal and write an edict. Now he is just thinking about it for many years to give a better form.

"I... I can issue an edict, so there is no need to wait any longer." Li Hui flatly rejected his kindness. "At this point, I agree or disagree. Is there any difference? If I want to see me crying or kneeling down and wailing, Lord Jin is afraid he will be disappointed."

It was clearly a monarch and his subject, but he called out an adult, and his ridicule was beyond words.

"I don't have this intention. If Your Highness really wants to think so, then I can't do anything." Jin Xuguo's face turned pale, but he quickly endured it. "Since Your Highness is so tactful, then hurry up and take out the seal and issue it. Don't let me be embarrassed anymore."

After saying that, he took out a copy from his arms that had been drafted long ago.

"If I just want to stamp a seal, Lord Jin doesn't have to come here in person, right?" Li Hui's sneer hung on his blurred face, looking particularly ferocious. "Is it because His Highness the Crown Prince specially ordered you to come and get the edict?"

Jin Xuguo's face became even more ugly. He spread his hands, but he did not answer.

"It seems that this is indeed the case." Li Hui had already understood in his heart, "It seems that His Royal Highness has left me with some kindness..."

He sighed and sat down again, "I want to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once after the edict is issued. Jin Yizheng, go and tell me what I want."

"His highness hasn't figured out the situation yet? Do you think you can still make a request now?" Jin Xuguo couldn't help but sneer, "Your Highness the Crown Prince just asked you to issue an edict, but you don't have time to see you."

"If you don't see me, that's your highness's business. You don't need to talk too much. Do you think you deserve to make a decision for your highness?" Li Hui sneered without hesitation, "You are just a person who passes the message. Why should you show off such a proud and fulfilled attitude? Go and pass the message quickly and get the edict you want!"

Jin Xiguo's face suddenly turned red by this unceremonious scolding, as if he was holding his breath.

But in the end he endured it and threw the edict heavily onto the desk. "Please stamp it as soon as possible, and I will come when I go!"

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, Li Hui suddenly called him again.

"Kim discusses politics!"

Jin Xuguo stopped and looked at the other party with some confusion.

"From today, I probably will never be able to uphold the national government again. At most, I will be a monarch in name only... But Jin Gong, don't be too happy too early. I was jealous of the Chinese and Koreans, and finally ended up in this situation. I have nothing to say, but what about you? Do you think you will not be jealous of the Chinese and Koreans one day? We are all just puppets in our hands now. If you can drive me down today, you can drive you down tomorrow. If you can serve the Chinese and Koreans carefully, others can do it even better!" Li Hui sneered at first, and finally turned into a laugh. "So, be happy today, so that you won't be able to stand it if you turn to yourself!"
