I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 364 Where Did Your Highness Go?

Gyeongbokgung Palace is located west of the center of the northern half of Seoul (today's Seoul), with Bukaksan Mountain to the north.

Li Chenggui, the ancestor of the Korean Dynasty, ordered Zheng Daochuan to supervise the construction of the palace. It was built according to the royal palace system of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the bricks and tiles are completely different from those of the Forbidden City. They are black. The height of the palace is lower and simpler than the buildings of the Forbidden City.

However, as the capital of North Korea, its area is still relatively large. There are four gates around it, namely Xuanwu Gate to the north, Jianchun Gate to the east, and Yingqiu Gate to the west.

The Gwanghwamun gate in the south is the most important, because there are Liangfu, Liucao and Taiyuan outside the gate to the east and west, which is where the offices of the two ministers of North Korea are located.

Now Li Erzhan, Lord of Changfuyuan, is at Guanghuamen at this moment.

"Open the city gate quickly, I have something important to see the king."

The guard at the city gate didn't know why, and wondered what made Li Erzhan so anxious, but these things were beyond the understanding of small people like them, so it was best not to offend him. So after hearing the words, he quickly opened the palace gate and let Li Erzhan go. Look inside.

There are more than 500 palace buildings in the palace city of Gyeongbokgung Palace. The main hall is called Geunjeongjeon, which is where King Gwanghae and his courtiers discuss business on weekdays. The back hall is also the harem where he usually lives.

Because Li Erzhan was so powerful that he even isolated the inside and outside, many of Gwanghaejun's political affairs were entrusted to Li Erzhan.So when he arrived at the palace, he rushed directly to Qinzheng Hall.

"Where is the king now?"

When he arrived at Qinzheng Palace, Li Erzhan asked the chamberlain of Gyeongbokgung Palace to quickly report to Lord Gwanghae, saying that he had important matters to discuss and could not be delayed.

However, after he finished speaking, the servants outside the Qinzheng Hall did not move and actually looked at each other in confusion. They stood outside the hall with their hands down and did not dare to speak.

"What are you doing in a daze? Go and report it quickly."

When Lear saw that these people were not moving, he suddenly became confused and began to scold them hurriedly.At this moment, I saw several chamberlains running over from the left side of Qinzheng Hall.

"See you, Mr. Changfuyuan. Your Majesty has already gone to bed. I wonder what Mr. Changfuyuan is here for?"

As soon as Li Erzhan saw the person speaking, he knew that this person was Jin Ze, Lord Guanghai's personal attendant. Even he did not dare to offend easily, so he organized his thoughts and said to Jin Ze:

"I have something important that I must report to Lord Guanghai tonight. Please report it quickly. This matter is extremely important and cannot be delayed."

Hearing Li Erzhan's no longer tough tone, Jin Ze on the opposite side looked soothed, but also looked troubled.

Although he is Lord Gwanghae's personal servant and has a high position in the palace, Li Erzhan across from him is a powerful official in the outer court and the leader of the Dabei faction. He has the final say in almost all major affairs in Korea. Even Guanghae Mr. Hai would pay three respects, not to mention him as a chamberlain.

But if it were a normal day, forget it, and I would definitely report it.But Guanghai Jun has "important things" to do tonight, and he is no longer staying in the Qinzheng Palace. Even he can't disturb him. Li Erzhan is not making things difficult for himself by doing this.

Lear saw Jin Ze with a troubled expression on his face and said nothing, and his heart became more and more anxious.

If there were other things, then that would be fine, but this afternoon he suddenly heard a report from his disciple, saying that the merchants from the Ming Dynasty who had been doing business with them during this period of time were chatting and said that they seemed to have seen traces of the Ming Dynasty's Jin Yiwei, which made this disciple even more worried. It's a doubtful guess.

So I checked again and again with the Ming Dynasty businessman, and finally found out that it was indeed correct. There were really two or three Jin Yiwei who had been active in Seoul for a long time, and they had been in private contact with Ayang Jun Li Jie during this period. This made this disciple suspicious, and he hurriedly came to report it. .

Li Erzhan was shocked when he heard this. He immediately thought of the various movements of Lingyang Lord Li Zhu during this period, and had a bad idea in his mind.

Then he rushed to Gyeongbokgung Palace to discuss the matter with Gwanghaejun, but when he came quickly and slowly, Jinze still hesitated and looked embarrassed, which made him very angry. "Is Gwanghae-kun not in Qinzheng Hall?"

Listening to Li Erzhan's stern questioning, Jin Ze also knew that the fire could not be contained, so he had no choice but to nod.

"Then where did he go?"

When Jin Ze heard this, he folded his hands and kept silent. Seeing Jin Ze being so embarrassed and silent, Lear immediately understood what he meant.

As Lord Gwanghae's personal servant, there were few people in Gyeongbokgung Palace that he was afraid of.But if I had to find one, it would be her.

"She is really a temptress! I wonder what charm this woman has, how she can confuse the king like this. Is the king in her palace? Please take me to see him quickly."

As Li Erzhan said this, he turned around and was about to go to the harem. Jin Ze was greatly eclipsed when he saw this, thinking that this was impossible.Although this Li Erzhan has power over the government and the public, but now he breaks into the harem, it is a crime of great disrespect.

Besides, if he wants to let the people in the harem know that he let Li Erzhan in, he will definitely be miserable.

"Master Changfuin, please don't do it. The king is currently resting in the harem. You must not break into the harem without permission. This is a capital offense."

When Lear saw Jin Ze grabbing him and refusing to let him in, he knew that his guess was correct, so he snorted coldly and yelled at him:
"Huh, capital punishment? Are you afraid of that temptress? Get out of my way. I have something big to report tonight. If you dare to miss the important events of the court, I'm afraid that even ten of your heads won't be enough. So get out of my way. open!"

With that said, he pulled Jinze away and walked angrily towards the harem without looking back.Seeing this, Jin Ze's face was really ugly and difficult to act. After sighing helplessly, he quickly followed Li Erzhan, fearing that he would do something drastic.

Behind Qinzheng Hall are Ciqing Hall and Jiaotai Hall, which are the sleeping halls of the Queen Mother and the Princess respectively.

But now there is no one in Jiqing Palace. This is all because its owner, Concubine Inmu, the aunt of Lord Gwanghae, was imprisoned in the West Palace by Lord Gwanghae.

Therefore, only the Jiaotai Hall behind it was brightly lit and the sounds of rituals and music continued inside, where King Gwanghae's beloved concubine Jin Jieshi was hiding.

Li Erzhan ignored the obstruction and rushed straight to the Jiaotai Hall. Listening to the obscene laughter and laughter inside, his face became increasingly livid and his veins were exposed.

It was obvious that the evildoer he just spoke of was the owner of Jiaotai Palace, Lord Guanghai’s beloved concubine Jin Jieshi.

Jin Ze, who was behind him, looked at Jiaotai Palace with worry and anxiety. At the same time, he glanced at the chamberlain beside him from time to time, telling him to pay attention later and to stop Li Erzhan at the critical moment.

"Mr. Shofuin! Wait a moment, don't be impulsive, I will go and report it now."

When Jin Ze saw Li Erzhan stopped, he immediately stopped in front of him, fearing that he would break in without permission, so he took the initiative to grab the words.

"Go quickly, don't miss the main business."

Although he knew that the matter was urgent, Li Erzhan also knew that he could not embarrass Lord Guanghai too much, otherwise he would have to listen to Jin Jieshi's slanderous words again.

Thinking of this, he had a headache, and he couldn't figure out how this Jin Jie Shi could get such obedient favor from Lord Guanghae if he had no appearance and no status.

Is it true that it relies on "secret techniques" as rumored in the streets?
