Chapter three hundred and seventy-fifth: a twist
After hearing Liu Jie's words, Li Yi suddenly showed despair!
He said tremblingly: "It's impossible. When we go back, we are seeking death."
He knew the ecology of Seoul very well, and all loyal people had been killed. The rest were as loyal as those who had the power to govern the government and guard the diligence. Ren Shihong and the official Cao judge Liu Shunting, who knew that the Central Government affairs were Park Won-zong, Deputy Si Yong Cheng Xiyan and others were all loyal to Li Long.
In this case, going back is to die.
He argued vigorously: "The upper country should consider our opinions. Doing so, colluding with Li Long, returning it to us, and letting us die in vain."
"No." Liu Jie looked at Li Yi deeply and said, "I will go with you. If it dies, we will die together."
Li Yi was stunned.
He already knew Liu Jie's identity. Although he was just a juren and had a destiny, he was the son of Liu Jian, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet.
His identity is more noble than his vassal prince.
But……
Li Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Why do we have to go to die? Can we verify Brother Wang's cruelty? Liu Shangzeng, Brother Wang invented many torture instruments, which were imitated by the most famous tyrant in the history of Shangguo. If we fall into his hands, death is nothing. What's scary is that we will live worse than death. He will only slowly release our blood, which will make every inch of our flesh feel painful."
"Because this is the order of the master." Liu Jie's will was still not relaxed at all, and he insisted: "That's what he said."
"Liu Shangzhe always mentioned his master. In my opinion, he was thousands of miles away and did not know the situation here, he..."
Liu Jie interrupted displeasedly: "You and I can guess his knowledge. Since he arranged this way, there must be his reason. Things have been decided. We will set off in two days."
Li Yi couldn't help but say, "If so, can I report to the Emperor of Shangguo?"
It means that I am going to complain, and you actually treat me like this.
"Yes." Liu Jie nodded: "But two days later, you must leave."
Li Yi's face was terrible.
Originally, I said that I hope Liu Jie can change my mind, but... Liu Jie seemed very calm. If you like to report, just report it. It doesn’t matter, but it will be fine, but it will be done as much as you do.
Such a firm attitude made Li Yi realize that he was in trouble.
He returned to his residence in a daze, and many nobles were waiting for him here for a long time, hoping to get the result after negotiation!
Li Yi shook his head at them with a pale face, and then he wailed everywhere!
Each of them knew that without the protection of the Ming army, crossing the border was almost equivalent to seeking death.
They... all came with their wives and children.
I finally thought I could escape a disaster, but who knew that what they were going to face next was something even more terrifying.
"I will report to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I firmly believe that the Supreme Kingdom will never abandon us. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was favored by the four zodiac signs and virtues were all over the world. This was done by the traitors in the Ming Dynasty. If they were killed, they would be exposed!"
Li Yi said angrily.
From a young age, the education of the royal family made Li Yi deeply believe that the North Korea was protected by the Ming Dynasty. Since the founding king Li Chenggui, the North Korea has been practicing big things, and big things come from. The so-called "those who make big things are optimistic about the world; those who make small things are afraid of the sky, those who make big things are afraid of the sky. Those who make big things are optimistic about protecting the world, and those who are afraid of the sky protect their country. His core idea is that only by fearing the majesty of heaven can we achieve stability.
The North Korean served the Ming Dynasty as the arrogant Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty. In order to prevent the emergence of Yelang’s arrogant people in the country, as a vassal state, not only the royal family advocated greatism, but also studied the Four Books and Five Classics in large quantities and promoted Chinese characters.
Therefore, Li Yi believed that the Ming court would never treat them, such foreign ministers loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so cruelly.
Thinking of the fate they would face next, he was filled with sadness, but he also knew that they had no ability to make their own choices at this time!
He felt more angry. Even if he had no choice and was about to enter the court and accompanied Liu Jie to die, he would expose Liu Jie's master.
Everyone, with their tragic spirit, said one after another: "We are willing to report together with you, even if we die, we must not leave any regrets."
Li Yi's eyes were filled with tears. Many people squeezed in in his big tent. He was surrounded by a dagger, cut his little finger, and the red blood dripped down!
Li Yi said: "There are tyrants in our country. According to courtesy, the Supreme Kingdom should protect us loyal ministers, the vassal ministers, but now because there are traitors in the court, we want to die without slander. I, Li Yi, have no way to live, and die if I die. I only hope that this traitor will be exposed to the sun and have nowhere to hide."
As he said that, he began to compile the book with his bloody fingers in grief and anger: "My minister, Jinchengjun, Li Yi, reported..."
…………
Liu Jie ignored the anger of the Korean nobles and scholars, and did not even stop them.
The order he received was to bring these remnants into the court immediately under the escort of small groups of military horses!
So countless reports were sent directly to the Honglu Temple of the Ming Dynasty, and at this time, Liu Jie had already set off with his men.
They crossed the rivers on the border and began to move south.
What happened in the North is known to all counties in the northern region.
But Liu Jie is still the imperial envoy of the Supreme Kingdom. The chiefs of each county were all frightened, but they did not attack Liu Jie.
He could only send a quick horse to report to Seoul, while serving wine and food to Liu Jie who was passing here and sending his gifts out of the country.
After Liu Jie traveled south and arrived in Seoul, a bad news had already arrived.
After learning about this, Li Long ordered the deputy secretary of the Central Secretariat, Yongcheng Xiyan, to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to intercept Liu Jie's team and issue a reward. Who can win Liu Jie's head and reward 10,000 gold?
Li Long...is indeed a lunatic.
To kill Liu Jie so blatantly is almost like completely breaking his own room for turning things around.
Liu Jie's team had only a thousand soldiers and horses. Those who followed were the refugees who fled, with their families, mostly women and children, and the nobles and scholars were all weak!
It is completely predictable that the North Korean army will die as soon as it arrives.
When Liu Jie faced Li Yi's doubts, he was very determined, but in fact, Liu Jie was also a little scared!
Although the master said in his letter, don’t be afraid, you are the Qin envoy of the Ming Dynasty and the son of Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, Li Long dared not do anything to you.
But... life is always slap in the face.
Since Li Long issued the royal edict, he would be sure to fulfill his words.
Liu Jie thought of the various deeds of how Li Long used to punish the enemy in terrifyingly among the people who followed him. Liu Jie also felt that every inch of his skin and every pore had exploded.
…………
In Seoul, the army and horses are about to go to war.
Cheng Xiyan, who received the order, found the official Cao's clerk Liu Shunting, who knew that the Central Government was involved in the affairs of Pu Yuanzong.
They all looked anxious. In their opinion, what Li Long did was a matter of defeat only a matter of time.
But in order to protect themselves, they still depend on Li Long and looked loyal in front of Li Long.
Li Long naturally felt relieved of their flattery and let them lead the army.
Originally they thought they could lie dormant and wait until Li Long became more and more unpopular before rebelling.
But now...
The Ming Dynasty was about to cut off their retreat.
Li Long actually wanted to kill Liu Jie. If he killed Liu Jie, it would be like a complete rebellion against the Ming Dynasty and there was no room for improvement.
When he thought of this, the official and Cao judge Liu Shunting, who knew that the Central Government was involved in Pu Yuanzong, and Cheng Xiyan, who was about to lead troops to attack Liu Jie, began to feel uneasy.
Cheng Xiyan said: "If I lead my troops to kill Liu Jie, I can satisfy the king. But once Li Long is defeated, we will definitely die. This is a heinous crime and not something I can bear."
"Now people are panic...what should I do?"
"Do you do it, you can't wait any longer." Liu Shunting, the judge of the official Cao, had a gloomy face, but made up his mind and said: "Wait until you wait any longer, once the Shangguo Qin uses any accident, we will be able to blame. Even if we rebel in the future, this stain cannot be cleared."
This was like giving the backbone, and the other two responded without hesitation: "Okay!"
……………………
On that day, Seoul was in chaos.
Countless troops killed the foreign relatives Shen Shouqin and Ren Shihong, and then surrounded Changde Palace, dispersed the central guards of the palace, and surrounded the palace where Li Long was located.
And all this came too quickly, and Liu Shunting and others who succeeded successfully did not feel happy at all.
Because this rebellion was the result of their long-planned plan, they have been pondering countless times about all the details of the rebellion.
But now... this result came too early. The rebellion, which was originally led by them, has now made them pawns. In the eyes of everyone, this is the credit of Liu Jie and Jinchengjun who went south.
And they were more like fearing the siege of the Ming Dynasty and having to do so, and they were all just surrendering and fearing the majesty of the country.
For example, in their plan, at this time, they should issue an order in the name of the Queen Mother, that is, the Concubine Cishun, to order Li Long to hand over the king's golden seal and depose his throne.
But now, they remained silent and could only wait patiently, waiting for the arrival of the envoys of the Celestial Empire and the brave Jincheng Jun Li Yi, who went south to the south, because only they could issue orders to deal with Li Long.
The result of this rebellion made them very dissatisfied.
But... they have no other choice.
At the same time, they sent officials and soldiers to go north to welcome the Qin envoy of the Shangguo and the Jinchengjun who were about to move south.
