Ming Zuo

Zuo Menggeng's practice of letting go completely gave everyone in North Korea unlimited room for reverie.

They understand too well the benefits of supporting a new king.

Anyway, Renzu back then, they were important participants, and they also gained great power in the court by virtue of their merits.

Especially Jin Shangxian and Shen Qiyuan, before Injo anyway, they were just ordinary scholars.

As a result, they have reached the pinnacle of scholars, with high positions and weights.

Now that Xia Guo is not interested in who is the new king of North Korea, this is their opportunity to do something.

Shen Qiyuan couldn't wait, and spoke first.

"Haiping Lord Li Ji is the successor of Rencheng Lord, and has suffered a lot. If he can understand the suffering of the world, he will become a wise master."

Before the words finished, Hong Yihan quickly objected.

"Mr. Qingchang has no bad deeds and is a loyal person. He is the best candidate for the new ruler."

In an instant, the North Korean people who were originally united were divided into two factions.

Although it was Hong Yihan who objected to Shen Qiyuan, everyone knew that he represented Jin Shangxian's opinion.

Kim Sang-heon and Shen Qiyuan belong to the Western People's Party, but it is clear that their interests are not the same.

Shen Yan spoke for his uncle.

"The false king, Li Yu, is perverted and unpopular, and Lord Rencheng is doing his harm. Only with Lord Haiping as king can we bring order out of chaos and reshape orthodoxy."

Inseong Lord Li Gong is the eighth son of Xuanzu.

In the first year of Chongzhen, the rebellion of Mr. Guanghai's wife and nephew Liu Douli and Liu Xiaoli occurred, and Li Gong was also accused of colluding with them, so he was exiled to Jindao.

Li Zhen pretended to be benevolent and righteous, and finally pretended to obey the opinions of the officials and Queen Renmu, and executed him.

When Li Gong heard the news, he chose to commit suicide.His wife and children were exiled to Jeju Island, and are now in the hands of Xia Jun.

It seems that Shen Qiyuan had planned a long time ago, after careful consideration.

But it's a pity that under the conflict of interests, no matter how good the rhetoric is, it can't impress Kim Sang-heon and his family.

"In fact, it is not. North Korea has suffered many catastrophes, and the people are in dire straits. In a crisis, the first thing is stability. Lord Qingchang has a stable temperament and a simple personality. He is restoring the national economy and the people's livelihood as a good lord."

The dispute between the two sides was very fierce, and neither could persuade each other.

Zuo Menggeng saw this scene and just wanted to sneer.

It is worthy of being a country of father and son with Daming, even the tradition of this party struggle is exactly the same.

Obviously, the overall situation is uncertain, and the future is uncertain.When they were supposed to be united and do their best, these North Korean civil servants actually embarked on the road of division for the sake of profit.

With such people, where is the hope for a new life in North Korea?

If Da Ming's father hadn't been taking care of him, the later Da Qing's father would have looked down on him.Such a country has been destroyed for a long time without knowing how many times.

Seeing the two gangs confronting each other and refusing to give in to each other, Zuo Menggeng knew that his plan was more and more likely to succeed.

Does he really not care who gets to be king of Joseon?

Obviously not.

North Korea is the first step and starting point of China's external expansion. If this foundation is not laid, China will have no hope of looking at the ocean.

How could he not care about such an important place?

But politics must have a flair for acting.

Even if you really want it in your heart, it won't show on the surface.

He pretended not to care, making Xia Guo completely stand on the commanding heights of morality.From now on, no one can criticize Xia Guo for what he has done.

But if they stay out of the matter completely, there is no way to interfere in North Korea's affairs, and they cannot exert Xia Guo's influence.

The best course of action is to leave the difficult problems to the North Koreans themselves and cause them to fight among themselves.

Only when the snipe and the clam compete, can the fisherman benefit.

Sure enough, Xia Guo's retreat caused the two factions that were originally united to split apart and became hostile to each other.

If you study carefully, the candidates recommended by Shen Qiyuan and Jin Shangxian respectively have traces to follow.

Mr. Rencheng's family suffered from the persecution of Li Yu, and their lives were extremely miserable, and they were also suspected of treason.

However, Shen Qiyuan is very keen on the matter of treason.

Not only did he participate in Renzu anyway, but in the original history, because he was dissatisfied with Li Jing's surrender to the Manchu Qing, he began to plan painstakingly to overthrow Li Jing.

In the end, the matter was revealed and he was executed by Ling Chi.

Obviously, for Shen Qiyuan's lineage, Lord Rencheng's lineage, which is dissatisfied with the original government and has no foundation, is the best choice for the lord of the country.

But for Jin Shangxian and his family, Qingchang Lord Li Yu, who is honest and also has no foundation, is better controlled, so that they can control the government.

Kim Sang-heon's faction originally had the most senior officials in the court. If the person they support becomes the new king of North Korea, they will completely control the court and the opposition and do whatever they want.

No matter how righteous the two groups of people say on the surface, they are actually naked interests behind the scenes.

Regarding their dispute, Zuo Menggeng didn't care about it, and turned his attention to the battle of Bukhan Mountain.

Without Xia Guo in the middle, the dispute between the two factions intensified.But overall, the voices of Kim Sang-heon's family are louder.

After all, Shen Qiyuan has been idle for a long time, and his influence in the court is far from being comparable to that of Jin Shangxian.

This made Shen Qiyuan quite depressed, racking his brains to find a solution.

On Beihan Mountain in the distance, the cannons were rumbling, shouting and killing.Xia Jun's offensive wave after wave has broken through two defense lines of the defenders one after another.

Shen Qiyuan saw all this.

He understood that if he could not take the initiative before returning to Hanyang, he would definitely lose his position in the court in the future.

Where is the key point that can break the game?

Fu Xinyuan came from a distance, hurriedly, as if there was something urgent.

Shen Qiyuan greeted instinctively.

"Secretary Fu, is something important happening?"

Only then did Fu Xinyuan see Shen Qiyuan standing by the roadside.

"It turned out to be Mr. Suizhi. There was news from Jianghua Island that Hucao Shenpan Jin Shangrong's body was found. According to inquiries from the people below, when the Qing army broke through Jianghua Island, Jin Shenpan would rather die than submit. It is admirable. Judgment Jin has been inquiring about the whereabouts of his elder brother, and I want to inform him of this so that he can hold a funeral for Shen Pan Jin."

Hearing the news of Jin Shangrong's death, Shen Qiyuan nodded, also feeling sad.

In Bingzi's chaos, there are too many loyal people in North Korea who chose to sacrifice their lives for the country.

But when Fu Xinyuan left, Shen Qiyuan's mind flashed, and he suddenly realized something.

He couldn't help speeding up his pace, and after returning to his residence, he summoned all his troops.

"Jin Shenpan's funeral will inevitably involve the energy of Jin Juanshu. This is a godsend opportunity that must not be missed."

He looked at his nephew Shen Yan, and started to make arrangements.

"You return to Jeju Island immediately and pick Mr. Haiping over. Then the raw rice will be cooked and cooked, and we will be done."

When everyone heard this, they were amazed at Shen Qiyuan's wonderful plan, and they all felt that this method had a good chance of winning.
