Ming Zuo

Chapter 966
"Students have been assigned here to take on supervisory duties since they became officials."

Xu Xiu explained the whole story.

In fact, like Shen Daoxun and Li Chong, as a descendant of the Western Party, he was assigned.

Zhao Xianbing pointed to the courtyard and asked with concern: "Is that man okay?"

Xu Xiu understood what he meant.

"Healthy body and clear mind."

Zhao Xianbing was really relieved by this answer.

"Bring him out."

Xu Xiu turned around and went inside, and after a while helped an old man in his sixties to come out.

The old man is very thin, wearing a white Korean traditional clothing.Although he was faltering, he could still feel a sense of superiority in his appearance.

While walking out, the old man looked quite excited.

Obviously during this process, Xu Xiu had already told him the situation.

"The Heavenly Soldiers from the Kingdom of Heaven have come here, but they want to set things right? I have been waiting day and night, weeping blood and praying, and I am finally looking forward to the day of turning around!"

Zhao Xianbing looked at the old man carefully.

"Your Excellency is Guang Haijun?"

This question made the old man very angry.

"Gu is the lord of North Korea, how can you, a warrior, offend you?"

This is tantamount to admitting his identity.

Zhao Xianbing sneered.

"You are a prisoner, and you are precarious. What prestige is there?"

The extremely harsh sarcasm made the old man finally remember his situation, and immediately became submissive.

"Forgive me, General, it's really lonely to see the light of day, and it's really a bit meng."

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the old man, Zhao Xianbing was amazed.

Who would have thought that in such a remote mountain village, the former king of Joseon, Gwanghae-kun, was hidden.

This man can be regarded as a legend among the lords of North Korea.

He was not the son of Xuanzu of Joseon, nor was he loved by Xuanzu. He was originally not qualified to inherit the throne, and he did not have much prestige in the ruling and opposition parties.

But when the Imjin Japanese Invasion happened, Sunjo and the Joseon royal family fled in haste, leaving him alone.

This changed his fate.

Mr. Guanghai has no way to retreat, so he can only bite the bullet and organize a rebel army among the people to deal with the Japanese army.

Regardless of the victory or defeat, when all the royal families fled in a hurry, he was able to stay and lead the people and the army to fight to the death, and he immediately won the love and respect of all the subjects.

Therefore, after the Imjin Japanese Invasion, even though Sunjo was very dissatisfied with him and wanted to replace him many times, he was helpless because of the opposition from the government and the opposition.

In the end, Mr. Gwanghae almost succeeded to the throne of Joseon with a dangerous posture of walking a tightrope.

But after he became king, he quickly fell from the love of everyone to the point of betrayal.

It's just because he didn't blindly favor Daming in terms of foreign policy, but chose to be neutral.

This dissatisfied the pro-Ming faction, who had an absolute advantage in North Korea's political arena. As the contradictions continued to intensify, the pro-Ming faction colluded with powerful factions in the inner palace and finally launched a coup.

Li Hui, Lord Guanghai, was kicked out and sent to Jianghua Island to be imprisoned.

His nephew Lingyang Jun Li Zhen became the king of Joseon under the support of the Western People's Party.

In the history books, this matter is called Injo's rebellion.

The Koreans gave the king a temple name just like a joke.

The one who abandoned the people and fled alone turned out to be Sunjo, and the one who kowtowed to the Manchu Dynasty was actually Injo.

I really doubt whether the North Koreans don't understand what they mean, or they are shameless.

In short, Mr. Guanghai became a prisoner and was imprisoned in Jianghua Island for more than ten years in the dark.

Originally, he thought that this was the end of his life, and he would eventually die here.

But he didn't expect Xia Jun to come and find him.

Since Xia Jun was dissatisfied with Li Yu's professing his vassal to the Manchus, wouldn't his chance as the former king come?

"His Royal Highness King Xia is here, follow me to pay a visit."

Zhao Xianbing didn't dare to decide how to deal with Lord Guanghai.For such a major political issue, it is better to submit it.

Li Hui was overjoyed to learn that Zuo Menggeng was actually on Jianghua Island.

"Wait for Gu to take a bath and change clothes, absolutely not to offend His Highness's face."

Xu Xiu stopped him.

"My lord, it is the best policy to visit His Highness King Xia in this way."

Li Hui originally thought that he was humiliating himself, and was about to swear at him, but fortunately, he was a hero after all, so his brain turned quickly, and he immediately understood.

"So good."

Zuo Menggeng was discussing the battle plan with Zuo Yong and others, and he couldn't help being quite surprised when he learned that he had found Mr. Guanghai.

Zuo Menggeng actually didn't pay much attention to the former king of North Korea.

It's not that he doesn't understand Li Hui's value, but that he doesn't like Li Hui's mind.

In fact, strictly speaking, Li Hui is definitely the most clear-headed person in the North Korean political arena.

He could clearly see that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was rising and the Ming Dynasty was declining.That's why he didn't want to rely too much on Daming, lest he be affected by Chi Yu.

From the perspective of North Korea, his strategy is extremely correct, and it is completely based on its own interests.

But other North Koreans were very dissatisfied with him not only because of the conflict of interests, but also because of his ruling strategy, which led to his resignation.

Such a shrewd politician is obviously not good for Xia Guo to control North Korea.

But after a little thought, Zuo Menggeng decided to meet this legendary figure.

Li Hui was brought in, and when they met, he lay down on the ground and saluted.

"North Korea's lord and sinner, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Xia of the Shang Kingdom, long live, long live, long live!"

The messy address made everyone look sideways.

How can anyone call His Highness Long Live?
But obviously Li Hui is using this method, hoping to win Zuo Menggeng's favor and help him return to the peak of power.

"Kneeling is not allowed here, pay attention next time."

Zuo Menggeng's tone was calm, and his vigilance against Li Hui went up to a higher level.

This guy was able to become the king under such a difficult situation, and later experienced more than ten years of prison life. Who knows what kind of character he has honed?
Don't be another Goujian-like character.

Of course Li Hui knew that Zuo Menggeng's indifferent mood made him even more nervous, so he carefully sat half of his buttocks along the brought chair.

"Li Yu is ungrateful and betrays human relations. It is a great treason. The sending of troops by the Shang Kingdom is just in line with the wishes of the people of the eight kingdoms of Korea. Although Xiao Wang is old and weak, he is willing to be the vanguard of the army, punish the rebellion, and bring North Korea back to the wings of the Shang Kingdom. .”

This impassioned speech did not satisfy Zuo Menggeng.

"North Korea used to be a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, and my Xia country was also a rebellion of Ming Dynasty. Doesn't Mr. Guanghai understand?"

This is the test.

Li Hui noticed it all at once.

"The law of heaven reincarnates, and those who are virtuous live here. The Ming Dynasty has long since faded away, so we should let the virtuous. North Korea should be attached to the tail of the country and move, and act according to the right way, and dare not violate it."

We don't care who is in charge of the Central Plains.

Whoever becomes the emperor is our father.

This extremely pragmatic remark made everyone in the Xia Kingdom dumbfounded, and finally had a clear understanding of this veteran politician.
