Today's Korean peninsula is artificially drawn from east to west in the middle.

The line is divided into north and south, and there is no connection anymore.

Not only the Marine Regiment, but all the troops on the front line have adopted various methods to completely isolate the north.

Barbed wire, minefields, and closed passes have become insurmountable moats for ordinary people.

Coincidentally, not only did the Xia army do this, but the Qing coalition forces in the north also adopted a similar method.

Both sides are very clear that the war has come to an end for the time being and will not fight again in a short time.

The next thing to compete is who can quell the plague earlier and manage the internal affairs well.

Whoever does it first will gain the upper hand, and will be able to defeat the opponent in the future.

Before that, no one dared to act rashly without absolute certainty.

Zuo Menggeng started from Paju and inspected all the frontline troops.

His arrival made the soldiers rejoice and their morale high.

Whenever the commander can be with the soldiers, it will always make the entire army feel at ease.

What's more, Zuo Menggeng not only came by himself, but also brought an art troupe that everyone loves to see.

One after another theatrical performances enriched the spirits of the soldiers.

In addition, the political and industrial departments have also taken action.

They brought letters home from the soldiers.

The flames lasted three months, and the family letter was worth ten thousand gold.

In addition to the fierce battle of life and death, it is a great joy to get news from relatives.

The soldiers cried and laughed holding the family letter in their hands, but without exception, their impetuous and tormented hearts were soothed.

When Zuo Menggeng was inspecting the front line, the political forces in Hanyang City became agitated again.

Although Kim Sang-heon stays behind closed doors, as the biggest force in the North Korean political arena, no one can ignore the ideas of the Kim family.

Song Shilie and Jin Yu visited together.

"His Royal Highness King Xia is about to return to the country. Whether North Korea can achieve long-term stability, we must come up with a solution as soon as possible. After a long discussion, everyone agreed that the restoration of Lord Gwanghae is the most beneficial to the overall situation. Mr. Jin is an important minister of the country. What do you think? "

In just a few days, Kim Sang-heon has aged a lot.

In the political arena, he is known for being old and tough.Even when Nanhan Mountain City was most dangerous, he advocated fighting to the end and never surrendering.

It can be said that his spirit is extremely strong.

To defeat such a person, force is useless.

Only morality is his weakness.

He has been a celebrity all his life and has been looked up to by others all his life, but his son did such a shameless thing.

This caused Kim Sang-heon to suffer an unprecedented fiasco.

"If Mr. Guanghai is restored, we will all be rebellious ministers. Do we need to die as an apology?"

Like Shen Qiyuan, Kim Sang-heon also hates Gwanghae-kun very much.

As another main member who overthrew Gwanghae-kun back then, Kim Sang-heon felt that his time of death had arrived.

Jin Yu shook his head and handed him a letter.

"This is written by Mr. Guanghai himself, and all of it is his promise. Times have changed, and all the grievances and grievances in the past are no longer important."

Jin Shangxian opened the letter, and the content inside was exactly the same as what Shen Qiyuan had seen. It was a solemn promise from Mr. Guanghai, and he vowed not to pursue what happened back then.

Seeing a monarch admit his mistakes is quite moving for a scholar-bureaucrat like Jin Shangxian.

After all, the king is the sky, how could the sky be wrong?

So no matter what happens, the king can never be wrong.

It can only be the courtiers who are wrong.

Once the king admits his mistake, it means the sky is falling.

This is also the reason why emperors will not easily issue their own edicts.

Because it was not just an imperial edict, nor was it just an admission of error, but it represented the disgrace of the majesty of the king.

"I think back then, why was Mr. Guanghai not the heroic lord who everyone looked up to? Now that he can repent and return to the right way, it is really a great thing. Since this is the case, Jin has no objection."

Seeing that Jin Shangxian agreed, Song Shiye and Jin Yu both heaved a sigh of relief.

So far, the election of Mr. Gwanghae as the new king of North Korea has obtained the permission of all forces in North Korea's political circle.It can be said that it is a certainty, and there will be no twists and turns.

Shen Qiyuan and the others notified the results to Xia Guozhong, and at the same time wrote a memorial overnight and sent it to Zuo Menggeng.

Sure enough, like Zuo Menggeng's previous statement, Xia Guo did not have any objections.

Zuo Menggeng came back with an order in person, asking Hou Xun and others to prepare a letter and canonize the imperial edict for the new North Korean monarch.

Everyone in North Korea was excited, and quickly began to prepare for the enthronement ceremony of the new monarch.

However, because it was a wartime, and North Korea was severely damaged, the treasury of North Korea and China was extremely empty, so the whole ceremony could only be kept simple.

On June [-]th, Zuo Menggeng returned to Hanyang and attended the king's succession ceremony.

This is a scene that has never appeared in the history of North Korea. It is difficult for everyone in North Korea to decide what the procedure should be.

In the end, it was Zuo Menggeng who made the final decision.

Worshiping the sky, worshiping the earth, offering sacrifices to the ancestors, proclaiming ministers, and ennobling the emperor, there are five steps in total.

Among them, Zuo Menggeng placed himself fourth, even behind the ancestors of the Joseon royal family.

This humility moved North Korea to tears, and made him even more convinced of his superior monarch.

On June [-]th, North Korea took out the only family property, and the king's succession ceremony officially began.

Guarded by guards of honor, Mr. Gwanghae put on the royal clothes of the Joseon Dynasty, barely suppressed his excitement, climbed Bukhan Mountain, and reported to the sky.

Then he came to the Han River, offered sacrifices to the land, mountains and rivers under his feet, and prayed for the prosperity of the country and the people, and good weather.

He walked into the royal ancestral temple with his head held high, knelt down in front of the tablets of his ancestors and cried in embarrassment.

He almost became a lonely ghost.

But now, he can be ranked in the ancestral temple again, and then be the king of the people.

After worshiping the ancestors, it is the ceremony of surrender.

In the past, the succession of the king of Joseon to the throne only needed to be reported to the state and obtained the canonization of the state.

The canonized personnel sent by Shangguo did not have high official positions.

Unlike this time, the King of Shang Kingdom was present to watch the ceremony.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of North Korean residents, Mr. Guanghai led all civil servants and generals to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to Zuo Menggeng, who is aloof.

Unlike Li Zhen of Sandiandu, this time the Korean monarchs and ministers kowtowed willingly.

Because this represents that North Korea has finally returned to the orthodoxy of human relations, and it is also the country of enlightenment and prosperity that inherited Chinese orthodoxy.

It can be said that at this moment, all North Koreans are well connected from body to heart.

"Following the imperial edict of His Royal Highness King Xia, bestow the King of Korea with a golden seal!"

"Following the imperial edict of His Royal Highness King Xia, grant the King of Korea the Credentials!"

"Following the imperial edict of His Royal Highness King Xia, bestow the King of Korea with divine weapons!"

The gold seal, the letter of credence, and the sword were delivered to Mr. Guanghai one by one.At this moment, it means that he has officially become the king of North Korea.
