Ming Zuo

Chapter 842
What the Jurchen envoy did at the banquet was spread that night.

This is obviously intentional by Kim Sang-heon and others.

And the effect is really amazing.

The North Koreans blew up.

"We have learned the way of saints and the etiquette of respecting human relations. How can we allow the barbarians to be blessed by the barbarians? For the current plan, we can only maintain orthodoxy by fighting desperately."

As expected, Jin Shouhong was the one personally selected by Yin Ji, and immediately mobilized.

The Confucian scholars in Sungkyunkwan were so angry that they wrote memorials one after another and presented them to Li Zhen.

Their request is only one.

That is: behead the envoy and burn the book.

Even Li Yu, who was annoyed, couldn't help but be terrified when he saw the following wishes.

The Confucian scholars didn't give up except writing letters, they even gathered their hands and ran outside the residence of the Houjin envoy.

"Punish these barbarians and maintain the country's orthodoxy."

These Confucian scholars yelled to be beaten and killed, and rushed in with their heads muffled.

Fortunately, the government arrived in time after hearing the news and tried their best to stop it.Otherwise, Susa, Mafuta and others might be beaten to death on the spot.

Even so, the Houjin envoy, who was hiding inside in fear, still had a premonition of imminent disaster when he saw the bricks and tiles constantly flying outside the courtyard.

"These North Koreans are so bold that they might really kill me and others."

Susa's face was ashen, and her mind was spinning rapidly.

Mafuta had rich experience in battle and quickly came up with a solution.

"It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, for fear of accidents. We must rush back immediately and report to the Great Khan that North Korea is arrogant and has broken the covenant. Only when soldiers come to the city can they understand the direction of the general situation."

After discussing with Mafuta, Susa and Mafuta felt that staying in North Korea might be life-threatening.

In the early morning, seeing the calm outside, the two led their men to seize the horses, and drove away all the way.

But even so, the passers-by they met still threw tiles and stones at them, and cursed at them endlessly.

Fortunately, North Korea did not dare to really kill the envoys of Houjin, so they fled back in embarrassment.

Just when Susa and Mafuta returned to Shenyang, Liaodong's intelligence was placed on the desk of Shandong Central.

Hou Xun, Zhang Zhenxiu, Zhang Zongheng, Qu Shi, Jiang Wei, and even Huang Daozhou, Dang Huanchun, Zhang Jimeng, and Fu Yusun who were far away in other places rushed back.

Liu Zongzhou, who has always been obsessed with academic research, also came out.

On the military side, Huang Zongxi and Zhou You who stayed behind also came together.

Seeing this huge lineup, Zuo Menggeng had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

"Information from Eastern Liaodong shows that Huangtai Ji Jianji's proclaiming himself emperor is imminent. Not surprisingly, the trip will take place within two months."

Hou Xun deliberately emphasized this piece of information that everyone already knew, which made Zuo Menggeng baffled.

And Huang Zongxi brought North Korean intelligence.

"Susa and Mafuta fled, and the North Korean side did not agree to Jurchen's request. The relationship between the two parties has completely broken down, and they will definitely meet each other in the future. I just don't know that this battle was before Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor. Or later."

"It must be later."

Judging this matter, Zuo Menggeng is still very confident
Not to mention Liaodong, Huang Taiji was almost ready to build a country and proclaim himself emperor, and it was not enough for Houjin to send troops to conquer North Korea.

one more……

"Huang Taiji's establishment of the country and proclaiming himself emperor will definitely stimulate the court. If he wants to punish North Korea, he must consider the court's reaction. It is expected that Huang Taiji will take action against the court before conquering North Korea, so as to eliminate his worries."

His statement was unanimously approved by everyone.

But if it's just about this matter, it seems that there is no need for so many big shots to come together.

Moreover, many people are obviously local chief officials, leaving a lot of things at hand alone.It's a bit out of line to come here to discuss the military.

When Zuo Menggeng was thinking about everyone's intentions, the outspoken Huang Zongxi suddenly asked: "How does Huang Taiji feel about calling himself emperor and founding a country?"

How did this come to him?
Zuo Menggeng didn't know why.

"Huang Taiji's ambitions are inflated. Even if he becomes emperor, with us here, can he still be safe?"

Huang Zongxi was quite dissatisfied.

"That's not what I meant."

Liu Zongzhou hurriedly stepped forward, pointing out something.

"After Huangtaiji Jianguo proclaimed himself emperor, there were two extremes of talent, and the North and the South were opposed. Even the Northwest bandits all ruled the king and hegemony, each with their own banners. Only my Shandong, although it is a self-contained line, is even more powerful, but the name does not match the reality. .It is so difficult to gather people's hearts, so we must pay attention to it."

Zuo Menggeng was stunned, and when he looked at the crowd again, he finally realized something.

Unexpectedly, when they came, they were also persuaded to come in.

Want to go further?

This made Zuo Menggeng hesitate.

When the government was established and the cabinet was first established, some people had already made proposals.

It's just that at that time, there was a lot of discussion and different opinions, and Zuo Menggeng couldn't make up his mind, so he put it on hold.

He only claimed to be the commander in chief, and prepared to build the commander's mansion.

But in the final analysis, the Commander's Office is more military-oriented and too one-sided.

However, Zuo Menggeng was still undecided on how to establish his own status and status in the regime.

From his nature, it is best to choose the republic system.

After all, it is like this in future generations, with many benefits, and he is most familiar with it.

But a considerable part of the camp opposed it.

Even if the big shots in front of him discussed more with him, two-thirds of them disagreed.

"Nowadays, the people's wisdom is not developed, and the people are ignorant, so you must not rush for quick success. Otherwise, people's hearts will collapse, their strength will be slackened, and they will seek their own way of destruction."

Qu Shi spoke earnestly, his meaning was very obvious, and he had a strong intention of persuading him.

"Since you know the harm of the emperor, why worry about avoiding it? Our leader is very different from the emperor of Ming Dynasty, and we can completely make separate regulations."

Zhang Jimeng also echoed.

The harm of feudal emperors has been discussed continuously within the camp, and everyone has a correct understanding.

Unlike Zuo Menggeng's complete rejection of the imperial system, everyone's view is to avoid its harm and use its benefit.

What are the advantages of the imperial system?
The reason is that for thousands of years, the Central Plains has always ruled the world with emperors.It has a clear banner and is recognized by all people, and with this banner, it will bless the world and establish a central country.

If it is canceled hastily, all people in the world will be at a loss, not knowing what their identity is.

This kind of cognitive change obviously cannot be too impatient.Otherwise, it will definitely turn into a split, and it will become a fertile ground for careerists to stir up trouble.

Regardless of whether it is to maintain the unified situation or to stabilize the internal situation, everyone agrees.

That is to properly follow the old system.

Everyone talked a lot, but Zuo Menggeng became a minority.

Seeing such a situation, he was quite helpless.

At the moment of anxiety, Zhang Zhenxiu took out his trump card.

"This is a book for all the members of the Legislative Council and all the people. Everyone agrees, and we should establish honor and seal the country."

He asked people to unfold the Wanmin Shu, which stretched for more than ten zhang.

There are countless bright red names on it, as if they were vivid people standing in front of Zuo Menggeng, urging him to go further.
