Ming Zuo

The Navy's ships carried the North Korean Second Division to the sea, preparing to surprise the Qing coalition forces again.

At the same time, there are also boats approaching the shore, bringing returning guests from long-distance travel.

Jin Yu stood alone at the bow of the boat, looking at the familiar Hanyang with mixed feelings.

Who would have thought that after a mission to Ming Dynasty, North Korea would become like this.

He was trapped in Shandong, and apart from being unable to move freely, his understanding of the outside world was not restricted.

He has heard all the scenes that happened in North Korea, and he is even more anxious.

The division of the country is something no one with insight can bear to see.

Of course, as a pure scholar-bureaucrat and Westerner Party, he was even more angry at Li Jing's surrender to the Manchu Qing.

Later, Xia Guo sent troops to regain the lost ground, which made him feel both happy and depressed.

Happily, North Korea is expected to get rid of the Qing Dynasty.

Sadly, he couldn't be a part of it himself.

He has spoken out many times, hoping that Xia Guo can let him go back to the country.Even if you are a pawn, you are willing.

But his request repeatedly fell into the sea, and no response was received.

Until Xia Jun recovered Hanyang, Hou Xun and Li Banghua personally met him and agreed to release him back to the country.

To his surprise, Hou Xun and Li Banghua also came to North Korea together.

When the boat started to dock, Hou Xun and Li Banghua walked out of the cabin.

The faces of the two were not very good, and their bodies were very weak.Seeing the land, all of them smiled with relief.

"I have taken countless boats in my life, and I thought I was safe and sound. I never thought that it would be so different on the sea. My life is almost half gone."

Faced with Hou Xun's emotion, Li Banghua also felt sorry for him.

"When the old man was the governor of Tianjin, he faced the sea every day, but he didn't feel much. Now that he has been involved in it, he knows that there is a world inside. His Highness, they have repeatedly braved the wind and waves, and fought across the sea. The hardships in each process are really not enough for outsiders to understand."

The two walked to Jin Yu's side hand in hand.

"Mr. Jin, the current domestic situation in North Korea is very delicate. A careless move may lead to a big mistake. In such a crisis, you can only show your true qualities. I hope you will contribute more to stabilize the situation."

On the way here, Hou Xun and Li Banghua had informed Jin Yu of the situation in North Korea.

Knowing that Haiping Lord Li Ji was assassinated and killed, Shen Department pushed all the suspicions on the Jin Department, and the conflict between the two factions became more and more intense, and Jin Yu couldn't help but feel worried.

As a scholar-bureaucrat in North Korea and an official for many years, he has seen many scenes of party struggle.

Every time there is a fight, North Korea suffers more damage.Even when the country was in crisis, party struggles never stopped.

As a result, now Xia Guo came to help, but they couldn't prevent the faction from happening.

When will there be peace in this country?

On the wharf of the Han River, Wang Yun, Jin Shangxian, Shen Qiyuan, Song Shiyeol and others were already waiting here.

The Prime Minister of Xia's Cabinet came to visit in person, and North Korea's officialdom did not allow it to be ignored.

These days, the literati and bureaucrats in North Korea have already had a deep understanding of Xia's official system and rules.

When it was learned that Zuo Menggeng did not interfere with the administration easily, but completely handed it over to the cabinet, one can imagine the mood of the Korean scholar-bureaucrats.

North Korea's academic thinking is completely learned from Ming Dynasty, so many ideas are multiplied in the same vein.

It is also the wish of the doctors in North Korea for the king to rule.

However, for hundreds of years, the kings of North Korea, like the emperor of Ming Dynasty, were not willing to give up the power in their hands at all.

The so-called party struggles are, in the final analysis, nothing more than the appearance of the emperor playing tricks on power.

Seeing Xia's officials handling government affairs contentedly, without any pressure from the king, the Korean scholar-bureaucrats were really envious.

Such an official is an official!
It doesn't look like them, they are just slaves of the king.

As the head of such officials, the authority of Prime Minister Xia Guo can be imagined.

Kim Sang-heon and others even raised their minds, wanting to get a closer look at how this veritable prime minister works.

After being welcomed by everyone, Hou Xun went ashore.

I saw that he was in his fifties, elegant in appearance, simple in clothes, and always smiling.Said to be the head of the officials, it looks more like a member who is at home.

What surprised everyone in North Korea was that Hou Xun's clothes were no different from other people's.

In other words, Hou Xun was not wearing an official uniform.

What Jin Shangxian and others didn't know was that Xia Guo hadn't established the style of official uniforms.

Many officials wore either traditional Confucian robes or light uniform shorts.

Originally, there was no official uniform to distinguish between upper and lower ranks, and everyone was still not used to it.But after a period of time, I found that there was no inconvenience, so I continued.

The only thing that surprised everyone in North Korea was that Hou Xun was wearing Confucian uniforms.

This shows that Xia Guo has not completely abandoned Confucianism, and traditional scholar-officials like them can still retain their status.

Song Shilie was really pleasantly surprised when he saw Jin Yu following him off the boat.

"Brother Qiangu, why are you here?"

The two had a deep personal relationship, and Jin Yu's grandson, Jin Xizhou, was under Song Shiyeol's school.

Old Jin Yu blushed and was speechless, unable to tell his old friend about his experience.

Song Shilie didn't think too much about it.

Jin Yu's return at this time just happened to greatly enhance the strength of the Song faction, and it will be able to compete with the other two factions in the court in the future.

"The Xia Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty are close friends and allies. However, it is not good for outsiders to intervene in North Korea's domestic affairs. Your Highness has something to say. I hope that everyone can abandon the past, sincerely unite, discuss the country's affairs, and create the future of North Korea."

Right on the pier, in front of many North Korean high-level officials, Hou Xun made a statement on behalf of the Xia government.

Like Zuo Menggeng's will, he will not interfere in North Korea's internal affairs.

Saying this at this time is especially referring to the issue of the candidate for the new monarch.

Non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries is usually enough to make everyone in North Korea happy and grateful.But at this moment, no matter if they were from the Jin family, the Shen family or the Song family, all of them felt heavy in their hearts.

Now the choice of the new monarch has fallen into a desperate situation.

Li Ji, who was recommended by the Shen family, was assassinated and died, and there was no suitable candidate.

And because of this incident, it is impossible for the Shen family to agree to the position of King Qingchang recommended by the Jin family anyway.

This is a knot that can never be untied.

Unless the literary fight turns into a violent fight, a group of people will be completely wiped out through bloodshed.

But with Xia Guo guarding here, the two factions will never be allowed to fight.

The Song family watched intently from the sidelines. Although there was no candidate for the monarch, there have been continuous connections and rumors in recent days, and it seems that they are going to make some big moves.

Under the treacherous situation of Bo Yun, whether it is Jin Shangxian or Shen Qiyuan, they all gradually feel powerless.

"It's okay for Mr. Guanghai to reset. For our country, it can maximize the benefits."

When meeting Zuo Menggeng face to face, Hou Xun and Li Banghua's attitudes changed, and they firmly stated their positions.
