Chapter 1075 False Grandson

Decades ago, the Ming Dynasty spent tens of thousands of dollars to help North Korea repel Japan.

In the following years, North Korea was indeed full of gratitude to the Ming Dynasty, and once wanted to help Daming and repay the kindness, but a small country is a small country after all, between Qi and Chu, it is his nature to make small things big.

Although psychologically, North Korea has always supported the Ming Dynasty, but in action, they succumbed and did not provide any substantive help to the Ming Dynasty.

The Great Wei expedition cost tens of thousands of dollars, and Gao Yihuan did not do as good as he imagined in the Ming Dynasty.

The situation of the country is impermanent. Instead of pinning hopes on the emotions between countries after decline, it is better to turn him into a part of the Great Wei when it is strong and let him coexist with the fate of the Great Wei.

Time has taught that most men are unreliable, and so are states.

Gao Yihuan originally planned to annex North Korea, but the sudden appearance of the Korean clan and the Korean gentry undoubtedly disrupted his plan.

Jin Shangzhong and others didn't know that they had angered Gao Yihuan, so when they came out of the palace, they told people that Emperor Wei was kind and was going to help North Korea restore the country.

This caused the Korean gentry to erupt and sing praises to Gao Yi. Jin Shangzhong sent people back to the mansion and invited the son of the Joseon King Sohyun to Seoul to meet the Emperor Wei.

The son of Sohyun was the eldest son of the Joseon Emperor Li Ji. He had been a hostage in the Qing Dynasty for a long time. Soon after returning to North Korea, he was poisoned and killed by Li Ji. His three sons were also exiled, and Jin Shangzhong protected one of them. One named Li Hao, only ten years old.

In the palace, Gao Yihuan was dealing with affairs, meeting several Korean gentry and appointing them to official positions.

North Korea, like the Ming Dynasty, had fierce party struggles. First, the Dongren Party and the Western Party fought. After the Eastern Party gained power, it excluded the Westerners. .

After the Japanese Invasion ended, the Beiren Party took power, but it was soon divided into the Great Bei Party and the Xiao Bei Party.

After that, the Daebuk Party, which supported Gwanghae-kun's ascension to the throne, gained power, and it was further divided into the Bukbuk Party and the Bukbuk Party.

At this time, the Western People's Party helped King Injo to overthrow Gwanghae-gun. The Western People's Party, which had been down for a long time, gained power.

The party struggle in North Korea can be said to be dazzling, and it lasted until the demise of the Kingdom of Korea, which was even more exciting than the political struggle in the suzerain country.

Both Jin Shangzhong and Cui Minglu were members of the Western People's Party, and the people Gao Yihuan met were obviously not members of the Western People's Party.

When Gao Yihuan was chatting happily with others, Wang Shicong entered the hall, saluted and reported: "Your Majesty, Li Han has arrived in Seoul. Jin Shangzhong asks to see you. When is Your Majesty going to call?"

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, "Then call me tomorrow."

In the early morning of the next day, there were many soldiers standing outside the main hall of the palace. Inside the main hall, Gao Yihuan was wearing a dragon robe and a winged crown and sat on it.

At this time, Jin Shangzhong and Cui Minglu entered the main hall, looked at the formation, secretly delighted in their hearts, and hurriedly saluted Gao Yihuan.

Gao Yihuan waved his hands with a smile, and then said to the crowd with a smile: "These two gentlemen said that there is a young son who is the son of Joseon Sohyun. If this is true, he will be my minister and grandson. I will treat him as a pity and help him restore the country. Do not lose your place."

"Your Majesty, you are so enlightened, let us recreate you!" Cui Minglu was so excited that he cried and bowed down.

Gao Yihuan showed a kind smile, waved his hand and said, "Come in Xuan! All the ministers of North Korea, let's identify it together."

The guard sang loudly: "Xuan Lihan enters the palace."

Not long after, a ten-year-old boy, wearing the dress of the son of the Joseon Dynasty, entered the hall and saluted Gao Yihuan.

Gao Yihuan looked left and right, ordered North Korea to demote officials, and stepped forward to examine him. One of them was Zheng Renli, the former Joseon official Cao judge.

He stepped forward and took a look at Li Han, and suddenly stopped drinking, "Who are you? Why are you pretending to be the clan."

His shout shocked the whole room, and there was an instant silence. They did not expect this to happen at all.

The son of Zhaoxian was a hostage in Shenyang for many years. He was released after the Qing army entered the customs. Few of the ministers in the country have seen Li Han, and Hauge cleaned up another batch, so few people know him.

But Zheng Renli did teach Li Hao to read, he should know it, and many North Koreans were naturally stunned when they heard him stop drinking, and there was an instant uproar and discussions.

When Cui Minglu heard it, she became anxious immediately, and hurriedly said: "Zheng Juanshu, take a closer look, this is the son of Shizi!"

Zheng Renli looked determined, "If it's really the son of the world, how can I not know it, no matter how many times I read it, it's all fake!"

But Li Han said at this time: "Sir, don't you know me? I still remember the book of sages you taught me." After that, Li Han started to recite it.

Zheng Renli turned his head aside, instead of looking at Li Han, he bowed to Gao Yihuan and said, "Your Majesty, I have taught Li Han how to read, this boy is definitely not Li Han."

Jin Shangzhong was furious, "Zheng Renli, what do you want to do? Are you worthy of the previous kings by saying such things?"

Cui Minglu next to him hurriedly saluted Gao Yihuan, "Your Majesty, you can't believe this man's words. Zheng Renli surrendered to the Hulu. He has ulterior motives and should be killed."

As soon as he said this, many North Koreans in the hall changed their expressions and came out to salute one after another, and began to support Zheng Renli.

North Korea has fierce party struggles, and internal struggles are more ruthless than external struggles.Back then, the Japanese invaded, and the King of Joseon was driven to the Yalu River, and the struggle within Joseon was not forgotten.

At this time, many people had ignored it, but when they heard Cui Minglu's words, they immediately raised their vigilance. They also surrendered to the Qing army. From this point of view, if Cui Minglu came to power, they would definitely be liquidated in the future.

That being the case, it's okay, no matter whether Li Hao is true or not, everyone immediately stood up and questioned.

Seeing the crowd in the hall scrambling, Wang Shicong came out and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is too controversial, and Li Han's identity must be ascertained. I think that the restoration of North Korea should be discussed in a long-term manner."

Gao Yihuan rose up against the case and said angrily: "Put this child, Jin Shangzhong, Cui Minglu, and Zheng Renli in prison, and send officials to interrogate them overnight, and identify their identities as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yihuan left in a huff.

Just when such a scene happened in the main hall, a small village where Li Hao was exiled was suddenly attacked by Qing soldiers, and the whole village was killed.

Gao Yihuan left the main hall, returned to the study of the Xinggong Palace, took a pen and wrote a note, and then recruited a Xuanyi guard.

Xuan Yiwei took the note, went back to the public room, opened it, and saw that there was a name on it——Zheng Renli.

While burning the note, he pondered for a while, and after a while, he stretched his brows and got up to leave.
