Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1809 Pingwo ([-]) The Eye of the Oriole
In a sense, this incident in North Korea can be regarded as a purge, and its consequences should be said to be relatively serious.For example, Jin Deling died after being tortured for a long time, Guo Zaiyou also announced his retirement, and Li Dexin, the military judge, resigned in anger and was transferred to the training capital.

In addition to these direct effects, the rebel armies in various places became decadent and depressed, which deepened their disappointment with the King of Joseon. Such indirect effects may be even more serious.

Liu Zuyi and Li Erchan confide to the crown prince Gwanghae-kun about the burning of Yi Doushou's confession and pleading with the King of Joseon.Li Erzhan said: "If you think about it carefully, it should not be Yi Doushou who can lead this matter personally. Now the king will let him go as long as he thinks it is not good for him. But if there is still something available at the moment, he will not discard it. , This is an example from the fact that Li Dexin, who was about to leave the court and was transferred to training, was kept by his side."

Mr. Gwanghae was a little curious, and asked Li Erzhan why he knew so much about the King of Joseon when he first entered the court. Li Erzhan replied that he knew autumn when Paulownia was shining, which won the heart of Mr. Gwanghae.Mr. Guanghai also believed that this matter had nothing to do with Liu Chenglong and Li Dexin, so he comforted Liu Zuxi.

Liu Zuxi advised the introduction of talents from the Beiren Party, and Li Erzhan also said: "Since the Easterners were divided into the North and the South, the former Prime Minister Li Shanhai resigned because of taking the blame for the Imjin Japanese Invasion, and most of the Northerners were expelled. , the northerners suffered countless wrongs. However, the southerners headed by Liu Chenglong have gradually separated from the mansion, and even have many conflicts with the king.

So far, only by driving the southerners out of the court and bringing in the northerners can the mansion be protected.For this reason, Yin should try to redress the grievances and restore the reputation of Beirenzhong's suffocated family, and at the same time introduce as much as possible young talents from Beirenzhong. "

Mr. Guang Hai agreed with this, and then began to discuss the details with Li Erzhan.Li Erzhan is a disciple of a famous Confucianist in North Korea. He studied under Zheng Renhong. He gradually became the core of the Northmen with his intelligence while actively participating in political activities. .From this, it can be said that even in the midst of war, the Korean court never stopped factional struggles.

Mr. Gwanghae visited Yoo Sung-ryong late at night, and comforted him about Kim Deok-ling. He said, "The fact of Kim Deok-ling is regrettable. If the Japanese pirates come back again, I am very worried that the rebels will no longer be willing to contribute to the country."

In fact, Liu Chenglong has always been worried about this, Guanghai Jun expressed the hope that Liu Chenglong can help him to make the whole country unite again, Liu Chenglong asked how to help.

Guanghai Jundao: "First of all, I want to restore the identities of those who died innocently because of party disputes. The Prime Minister also knows that too many people died because of wrongdoing, and their disciples and people affected by them all participated in it." If the righteous soldiers can restore their identities, it will be of great benefit to the security of the soldiers."

Liu Chenglong hesitated and said: "Because of Li Menghe's rebellion, the king suspected that the righteous soldiers had the intention of treason, can he forgive the scholarly family related to the rebellion?"

Mr. Guanghai replied: "It is because of this that we need to unite more. As long as I, the Prime Minister and Liu Zuxi can persuade the Taiwan admonishers, it will be possible. Liu Zuxu told me that as long as the Prime Minister can work together with me , then their grievances will be vindicated, I also know that the leader has always been dissatisfied with Liu Zuxi, but now it is urgent to unite all forces, and I ask the leader to temporarily put aside the past.”

Liu Chenglong thought about it for a while, and agreed to help because of the righteousness. Mr. Guanghai thanked him again and again, and continued: "There is one more thing, I hope that Li Qingquan from the Lecture Institute can be the editor of the Hongwen Museum. I don't know if the leader thinks it is appropriate?"

Liu Chenglong remembered that Li Qingquan was the son of Li Shanhai, so he confirmed to Mr. Guanghai that Mr. Guanghai was worried whether Liu Chenglong would be burdened by this. Yes, isn’t Li Dexin also the son-in-law of Lord Li Shanhai? As long as he is dedicated to the country, how can he bear to bury him, and I have no objection to this.” Mr. Guanghai thank you again.

The next day, Li Dexin expressed concern about this proposal. Both Li Hengfu and Li Dexin believed that there was Li Menghe's rebellion before, and the timing was inappropriate. If the unjust case was vindicated, it meant that Jin Deling's identity would be restored in the future. Misunderstood Liu Chenglong.

Liu Chenglong sighed and said: "It is not the first time that I have been misunderstood by the king, and this time it is not my intention alone. Liu Zuxi and the admonishers are pushing this matter hard. We had deep conflicts with each other before, and this time we can also Taking advantage of this opportunity to reconcile, I also ask the two to fully assist.

There is another matter. The mansion hopes that Li Qingquan can be the editor of the Hongwen Museum. He is also your brother-in-law. Can you help me with this matter? "

As soon as Liu Chenglong finished speaking, he saw Li Dexin's expression changed, and suddenly realized that the matter was not that simple, so he hurriedly asked what the problem was.

Li Hengfu interjected: "It is also a problem to be directly promoted to the sixth rank from the seventh rank. The southerners also recommended Li Qingquan before, but after the observation of the official Cao, they thought he was not qualified. Now that this matter is brought up again, I am afraid it will be regarded as external pressure, especially It is suspected that the northerners hope to use the son of the leader Li Shanhai to occupy an important position to expand their influence, please be cautious."

Liu Chenglong thought about it for a while, and finally asked Li Hengfu to ask Li Cao to review it again before making a decision.Li Hengfu took the order.

Mr. Guanghai made a special trip to visit Jin Guiren, because Jin Guiren once interceded for Mr. Guanghai for the sake of the overall situation when Mr. Guanghai was about to be dismissed, so Mr. Guanghai came to thank him.

However, he also made it clear that he knew that this was a self-protection strategy of Jin Guiren, and Jin Guiren also said frankly: "Although there is such a meaning, it is not all. "

Mr. Guanghai smiled slightly, and said: "I am very happy that you can tell me frankly. So I also have something to ask. Your Highness has made many suggestions for His Highness, which can be called good advice, but this time I hope you can completely stand by me. On this side, after this, I will no longer regard the nobleman as a political enemy, and I will guarantee that Mr. Dingyuan will spend his life in peace." After thinking about it, Jin Guiren really made an oath with Mr. Guanghai.

So Lord Gwanghae led Liu Chenglong, Li Dexin, and Liu Zuxi to meet the King of Joseon.When Li Yan heard that he wanted to restore the identity of the rebellious party, he laughed a few times and ignored it.

Guanghai Jundao: "His Royal Highness, it is not to restore the identity of the rebellious party, but there were a lot of people involved in the crime at that time, and there must be some innocent people who were wronged. Now I just want to ask for a new screening to restore the identity of the innocent wronged people. .

If the grievances can be cleared, the family will definitely be grateful to His Highness, and in order to repay His Highness's grace, they will be desperate to overcome the country's difficulties, and will also support the royal family after the war. "

Liu Zuxi immediately said: "What Your Majesty said is not unreasonable. This matter is extremely beneficial to the present and the future. Please look into it clearly, Your Highness."

Li Dexin naturally also said: "Although I don't know the number of people who have been wronged, if there is someone who can clear up their wrongs, they will surely sing praises to His Highness under the nine springs."

Liu Chenglong made the finale, saying: "Because of Li Menghe's rebellion, the hearts of the people have been torn apart. Compared with Li Menghe, Jin Deling's death has aroused greater suspicion among the people. Whether Jin Deling is guilty or not, regardless of the facts or not, the people have already had doubts. Suspicions easily dispelled.

The more it is at such a moment, the more important it is for His Highness to be upright. Only by showing His Highness's wisdom and generosity will the people be convinced and grateful to His Highness. "

Li Yan was unmoved by these remarks, and refused straight away: "Forget it, I don't need this kind of gratitude. To restore the status of rebels, rebels like Zheng Ruli and Li Menghe will only choose the opportunity to instigate rebellion again.

As for the dear ones...and the princes, there is no need to make clever excuses to fool the widow because the widow will never agree to this matter, and it is useless to talk more. "

Seeing Li Yan's refusal, the admonishing officials in Taiwan imitated the style of the suzerain Ming Dynasty, collectively staged a kneeling performance at the palace gate, and asked the king of Joseon to reconsider the retrial of Yichou's prison and restore the status of the wronged person.

On the other hand, Li Hengfu also went to ask Yi Doushou to come forward to help, but Yi Doushou also refused, saying: "I know you have always admired the leader as a man, but this matter was completely presided over by the Westerners at that time. Everyone will be responsible for this, and we, who were blinded by power at that time, will bear a great crime."

Li Hengfu insisted that those who have been wronged should clean up their wrongdoings, but sooner or later, but Yi Doushou insisted on refusing, Li Hengfu said: "There is no power for ten years, and there is no flower for a hundred days. The power of the court has been changing at any time. Who can predict when the Yichou prison incident will happen to us again? We should take this opportunity to atone for the mistakes made at that time.

Yi Gong, didn’t you also burn the resignation with the names of the prime minister and the military judge in order to prevent similar incidents from happening again?You understand the grievances of the living, but the grievances of the dead are also always looking forward to. "

To be honest, Itoshou was really touched by what he heard, but it is difficult for a veteran like him to make a decision out of "momentary anger", so in the end he refused to help because the matter involved the life and death of the Western People's Party.

Before Li Hengfu left, Yi Doushou sighed: "I will never deny the actions of Zheng Che and other like-minded comrades. This time I wanted to strongly oppose it, but peace is the most important thing. Going to the country together is what everyone does." matter, so I will not interfere in any way, just waiting for the news.

I have experienced the world for a long time, I am used to the vicissitudes of life, and I am tired of it, and I don't want to fight anymore, but the faction is still in the court.Factional rivalries cannot be quelled in one fell swoop with a few words and actions.

I also wanted to end the party struggle and make the whole court work together to serve the country wholeheartedly and dedicate everything I have.However, things backfired, and I was often lost in it.People's hearts are unpredictable, and the world is changeable. You are also a Westerner. You were also involved in the Yichou Prison incident. Please take care of yourself. "

What can Li Hengfu say?Yi Doshou said so much, he can only thank him.

In the palace, Jin Guiren also persuaded Li Yan to agree to re-investigate Yi Chou's prison affairs. Li Yan explained: "People who have contacts with traitors such as Zheng Ruli, if the suppression is delayed a little longer, then the dead will be widows. How can the widows recover their identities as friends of others?"

Jin Guiren persuaded: "Your Highness, the concubine knows that Yi Chou's prison is a plan to kill people with a knife in order to contain the power of the Easterners who monopolize the imperial court. Now the imperial court is actually still the world of the Easterners, and Liu Chenglong has known His Highness. After the national chaos, the court also needs to reorganize.

Most of the dead in Yichou Prison were from the East, and now the East is also divided into the North and the South, and the struggle among themselves is even more tragic, so there is no need to restore their identities on a large scale.If it was them who were concubines, the group of people with the least crimes should be restored first, and then it would depend on the situation. In short, the scope of restoration of identities should be large or small depending on the situation at the time.

As for your highness, if you start to support the northerners now, the northerners will definitely reciprocate. When needed in the future, they can be used to contain the two parties of the southerners and the westerners. "

After hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help laughing and said: "My lord, if you were born as a man, the widow will definitely bow down. With you serving beside me, not only taking care of the widow's daily life, but also helping the widow to deal with worries in political affairs, it is really rare. Since you have said so Thorough, I will do as you please." Jin Guiren thanked you for your compliment.

The Yi Chou prison, which involved thousands of people because of the Zheng Ruli incident, finally began to be rehabilitated gradually. Although it was promoted to prepare for the party struggle, many wronged people from the south and the north have been able to recover their identities.Under the operation of Liu Zuxi and Li Erzhan, the forces of the Northerners began to gradually recover.

However, Liu Zuyu of the Northern People's Party couldn't help but complain to Liu Chenglong why Li Po, Quan Yi, Zheng Qingjie and others were not included in the list because the people on the list he wanted had not fully recovered their identities.

Li Hengfu said: "Li Po and Zheng Ruli are very close, everyone knows. There is also Mr. Quan Yi, he is a person who calls each other brothers in correspondence with Zheng Ruli, so His Highness did not agree to pardon."

Liu Zuxu argued: "It's nonsense. Mr. Quan Yi is the one who condemned the war and died innocently. So Zheng Yichen and Zheng Ruli are relatives, and Lu Shoushen is the person who recommended Zheng Ruli. How could he be restored?"

Li Dexin replied: "Zheng Yichen was conscientious at the time and did not have any contact with Zheng Ruli. He was only implicated because of his relatives. Lu Shoushen did not participate in this matter, but was implicated because he recommended Zheng Ruli. Naturally, his identity can be restored."

Liu Zuyi insisted that there was no hopeful candidate on the list because someone deliberately obstructed it. Li Dexin argued: "After a detailed investigation, the most wronged person was first included in the list. What's wrong?"

Liu Zuxi shouted: "Since the people from the south and the people from the north have joined hands, we should have the same number of people as you. This is fairness!"

After hearing this, Liu Chenglong jumped up against the case: "That's why I'm so careful, what is your reason for reinstatement? Do you want me to clarify!

Restore the identities of those scholars who have a good relationship with you, and then gather later scholars to expand your power in the court!Using the pretext of reconciliation, the faction is secretly re-planning the party struggle!

If your intentions are pure, there will be many people who will be restored to power, and the fact that Li Qingquan was in charge of editing and writing at the Hongwen Museum is also out of the same intention, right?Then I will tell you now, this is absolutely impossible!
Party strife, party strife, and North Korea's weak national strength and dissidents have led to rampant Japanese pirates, chaotic courts, frequent prisons, no thinking about state affairs, and people living in dire straits.

Now that the country is in chaos, he still doesn't think about repentance. He pretends to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, but in reality he is virtuous. He only knows how to fight for power and profit, and has no good strategy for governing the country and the people!I, Liu Chenglong, will never allow you to act recklessly! "

What he said was righteous and strict, his beard stood on end, Liu Zuxi was at a loss for words for a while, but was rendered speechless by the scolding.

It happened that Lord Guanghai came in person, and upon seeing this, he said, "As expected of the Prime Minister, apart from those who follow the Prime Minister, in your eyes, do all the courtiers in the Manchu court be villains who only know factionalism?

Is it really fair to use reform as an excuse and the period when state affairs are all under your control?Prime Minister, I will remember today well, please take care. "Jun Guanghai turned and left after saying that, leaving Liu Chenglong and the other three puzzled.

Li Erzhan was waiting outside the house, and after listening to Liu Zuxi finished speaking, he proposed to get rid of Liu Chenglong to avoid future troubles.Li Erzhan said: "The intention of the Prime Minister is very clear, and it will definitely hinder our talent introduction. In the eyes of the Prime Minister, we are all people who only care about party struggles, and promoting talents for the country will also be regarded as expanding our power.

It's really hard for you, Shizidi, but I believe that Shizidi will definitely bring glory to North Korea. All volunteer soldiers, common people, and scholars all over the country think so, and we are willing to follow to the death.

However, right now we still need to try to make Liu Chenglong leave the position of Prime Minister, so that we can prove that we are right.It's just that the leader is unusual, and how to plan still needs to be considered in the long run. "

Liu Zuxi immediately echoed, "That's right, Your Majesty, what Li Erzhan said is very true, and we will definitely help His Majesty realize his ambition."

Mr. Guanghai nodded and said: "I have my own sense of propriety, you two can just act like this. But you must bear in mind that what we do must conform to the will of the people, and we must make the people of the world stand with us at all times. As for the king, I also have my own method." The two took orders.

Outside the courtyard were discussing how to deal with Liu Chenglong, but Li Dexin in the courtyard still didn't understand the intention of Mr. Guang Hai's visit, and asked, "Master, why did His Majesty suddenly act like this, and even come forward to blame Liu Zuxi and the others? Who is His Majesty's mansion?" How to plan?"

Liu Chenglong pondered and said: "I am also very surprised. The people in the mansion know that everyone is wise and wise. Such a sudden accusation is bound to incite party struggle. Should I also reflect on it, whether I really did something wrong and didn't know it?"

Li Hengfu quickly persuaded him: "It's not that the prime minister has done anything wrong. His Royal Highness has already been in close contact with Liu Zuxu and other northerners. Although we don't know why, it is obvious that His Royal Highness is supporting the activities of the northerners." , has been involved in party struggles...and please take precautions early."

Liu Chenglong sighed and said: "The situation has become worse and worse. His son Dixia should have suffered a gradual change of heart after suffering. Alas, Dixia's already fragile and sensitive body and mind have changed him, reminding me of the king and his superiors. When, I am also deeply responsible.

It is all my fault that I failed to guide Di Xia out of this chaotic torrent.It's a pity, judging from the current situation, it seems that the party struggle will start again. When will North Korea end the internal struggle? "

Li Dexin persuaded: "The Prime Minister, please don't blame yourself too much. You are the Prime Minister and shoulder the important task of reform. Now the reform and anti-unjust imprisonment have not been completed. Please cheer up the Prime Minister. We still need to devote more energy to state affairs." " And Li Hengfu also persuaded like this, Liu Chenglong was very pleased after hearing this, and continued to discuss government affairs.

After Mr. Guanghai went back, the attendants were worried that the discord between the prince and the leader might be disadvantageous. Mr. Guanghai said calmly: "I didn't deliberately oppose the leader. I know that the leader has made great contributions to the country and has extraordinary talents. , but no one is static, no one can always remain loyal and selfless, even the Prime Minister is no exception.

I used to trust him very much, but he hurt me later. During the prime minister's dictatorship, he was also arbitrarily arbitrary and somewhat inappropriate.Although there are different factions in the imperial court, there are many talents in each faction who serve the country and the people. The imperial court needs them, and I will need them in the future.Everyone has their own needs, as long as we grasp this point, we can all develop their strengths and use them for me. "

The internal officials praised that the son has become more and more mature. Mr. Guanghai smiled and said: "My mother has passed away since I was a child. The king doesn't like it. My brother has no affection for me. I don't want to be the son of the son. I just want to drift with the crowd. lifetime.

Ever since I was promoted as the crown prince, no matter how hard I try, I will always be framed everywhere, always accompanied by the danger of being deposed and losing my life. The king regards me as a thorn in the side, and the officials try to use or frame me, which makes me physically and mentally exhausted.

After this series of experiences and blows, I finally realized that there is no real mutual understanding between people. I can no longer just rely on passion like before, let alone trust others.

I must protect myself, act strategically, understand people's hearts, fully grasp everyone's strengths and weaknesses, and use the enemy and me to realize my ambition one day. "

The internal officer praised him highly, and after waiting for Mr. Guanghai to change his clothes and rest, he hurried back to a remote place, recorded Mr. Guanghai's statement, and handed it over to a young eunuch under him to send him out of the mansion.

The place where the little eunuch went after leaving the mansion was not the palace, but a thriving shop with a magnificent plaque on it: Jinghua Japanese goods.
