...

After the Jin army withdrew, Li Yan changed the name of the Liaodong Peninsula to Liaodong County, appointed Qiu Xian as the county guard, and appointed Wu Jie as the Jiedu envoy to be in charge of all military affairs in Liaodong County, including the border defense of the Kingdom of Jin.

After that, Li Yan ordered Wang Yan to be in charge of the capital, leading the headquarters and more than 3 people from Wu Lin's army to fully recover Goryeo.

Li Yan changed the name of Goryeo to Xuantu County, and the original Taifeng territory was renamed Lintun County, appointed Guo Yong as the governor of Xuantu County, and appointed Jin Fuzhe as the governor of Lintun County. The two took office immediately like Qiu Xian .

In addition, Li Yan also ordered Qiu Xian, Guo Yong, and Jin Fuzhe to relocate the hundreds of thousands of Yan people he brought from Yanyun this time to Liaodong County, Xuanju County, and Lintun County.

After these orders were issued, Li Yan personally led the Jiefan Army, the Tabai Army and other troops to Goryeo Xijing.

The pass on the road had already been opened by Yue Fei and Liu Min, and the Liangshan Army was stationed there, so Li Yan was able to travel unimpeded all the way.

When Li Yan arrived at the city of Xijing in Goryeo, it was just in time for Wang Kai to send a secret envoy to ask for an interview.

Li Yan asked Liu Kai to meet Wang Kai's secret envoy and listened to his request.

Knowing that Wang Kai was going to launch a coup d'etat to regain power, and then called the vassal to pay tribute, Li Yan and others first thought that this must be a hoax, such a good thing in the world?

Goryeo Xijing has a long history, is the birthplace of the Korean nation, and has an extremely important position in the history of North Korea.

According to legend, more than 2000 BC, Tangun (also known as Wang Jian), born to the concubine Huanxiong of the Emperor of Heaven and Xiongnu, established the Joseon Kingdom, and its capital Asda was located here, so the city is also called "Wang Jian City".

After the demise of the Shang Dynasty in China, Jizi, an aristocrat of the Shang Dynasty, came to Korea and took this city as his capital, which was called "Jizi Korea".

The local people respect Jizi very much and regard him as the ancestor of the Korean nation. Therefore, the status of this city is also sacred, and it is called "Jicheng".

With historical development and historical changes, the city has a history of thousands of years (it was also demolished and rebuilt many times in the middle), and it has long been built as a capital with extremely complete defense facilities.

In addition, there are 10,000 troops and [-]+ people in the city, as well as sufficient food and grass, and they are led by experienced generals like Tuo Junjing.

As a result, even with Yue Fei, Liu Qi, tens of thousands of elites, and advanced siege weapons, it is difficult to win Goryeo Xijing.

In other words, Li Yan and others were wondering how they could break through the city?

Under such circumstances, a palace coup is going to happen inside Goryeo Xijing, and leader Li Ziqian and general Tuo Junjing will be arrested. Can Li Yan and others believe such a good thing that the world is falling apart?
Believe it or not, it is really impossible to explain why Wang Kai sent a secret envoy.

Later, Lou Minzhong boldly assumed that Wang Kai was really planning to launch a coup, and then everything made sense.

Of course, Li Yan and others could not believe the words of the secret envoy sent by Wang Kai just because of this.

However, this did not prevent Li Yan from fully agreeing to Wang Kai's request.

What if it is possible to take Xijing without bloodshed, complete the unification of the peninsula, and temporarily give Wang Kai the title of King of Korea and an insignificant territory?What can Wang Kai, who has nothing to do, turn upside down?At most, it is just a generation of Li Yu.

As for Wang Kai's request to marry one of Li Yan's daughters as the queen of Goryeo, Li Yan said that if Wang Kai wanted to marry his own daughter, he could spend a few years on the grounds that all his daughters were young and the oldest was only seven years old. Discuss again.

In this way, Liu Kai sent Wang Kai's secret envoy back instead of Li Yan, and then waited for the change.

After the secret envoy returned, he told Wang Kai emphatically that Li Yan supported Wang Kai in launching a coup to regain Wang Kai's royal power, and promised to give Wang Kai the Northeast of Korea as a vassal state.

Wang Kai was very excited after hearing the secret envoy's report.

But Wang Kai did not fully make up his mind for a palace coup.

Although Wang Kai was young, the environment in which he grew up made him mature earlier than other peers, which made him understand that launching a coup at this moment would most likely bring catastrophe to Koryo.

Just when Wang Kai was eager to try, but hesitant, a prophecy reached Wang Kai's ears.

The twelve grandsons (kings) of the dragon are exhausted, and there are eighteen sons (li).

In fact, this prophecy has been around for a long time, and it was spread by Li Ziqian to usurp the throne.

but--

Previously, Wang Kai had been kept in captivity by Li Ziqian, so he didn't know this prophecy.

Now, Jin Can and others who were going to help Wang Kai regain the kingship, saw that Wang Kai was a little timid, so they told Wang Kai this prophecy.

really!

As soon as Wang Kai heard this prophecy, he stopped hesitating and immediately ordered Jin Can and others to prepare.

Soon, Wang Kai invited Li Ziqian and Tuo Junjing into the palace on the grounds of discussing the strategy of retreating the enemy, hoping to capture these two traitors in one fell swoop.

pity!

Li Ziqian had already learned about Wang Kai's little actions.

Li Ziqian was furious, and immediately approached Tuo Junjing to discuss countermeasures.

After hearing this, Tuo Junjing was also furious, thinking that Wang Kai was disregarding the overall situation.

Faced with Wang Kai's invitation, Li Ziqian did not enter the palace at all, but Tuo Junjing did go, but he brought an army.

Seeing that the matter was brought to light, Wang Kai was immediately taken aback.

Surrounded by Jin Can and others, Wang Kai stepped up the tower in person and ordered the soldiers brought by Tuo Junjing to disband.

But those sergeants didn't obey Wang Kai's orders at all.

Tuo Junjing ordered the guards in the palace to open the palace gate.

The palace guards didn't listen either.

In a fit of anger, Tuo Junjing ordered his soldiers to set fire to the palace.

The fire quickly ignited, and Wang Kai and others were frightened when they saw this. Wang Kai was so frightened that he directly issued an edict to abdicate the throne to Li Ziqian, and then ordered dozens of confidant guards to take him out of the city, wanting to seek Liangshan. Army protection.

Li Ziqian and Tuo Junjing did not want any more unstable factors in Xijing City, so they planned to kill all those involved in the coup.

But at this moment, the sound of siege came from outside the city.

This sudden change made Li Ziqian and Tuo Junjing very nervous.

Li Ziqian and his younger brother Li Zide, the privy envoy, went to the city to replace Tuo Junjing, who suppressed the coup, to command the defense of the city.

But the palace is burning, and Tuo Junjing, the supreme commander of the Koryo Army, is not there.

More importantly, the Liangshan army who was attacking the city outside seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to launch a fierce attack-a fierce attack regardless of casualties.

At dawn, all those involved in the coup were killed by Tuo Junjing, and the palace was almost burned, leaving only three pavilions and dozens of verandahs in the Imperial Palace, and Jin Shouyi in the Zhishi Museum People carried the history of the country on their backs and buried it in the north of Shanhuting, so that the records of the past dynasties were spared from catastrophe.

Wang Kai was arrested, Li Ziqian did not want to kill Wang Kai, after all Wang Kai is his grandson, or his son-in-law.

But because Wang Kai launched the Gongyan coup, Nancheng was captured by the Liangshan Army, and Xijing City was in danger.

In a fit of rage, Li Ziqian ordered Wang Kai to be strangled to death.

The 14-year-old King of Korea ended his short life in this way.

After that, Li Ziqian and Tuo Junjing led the Koryo remnant army to fight with the Liangshan army in an attempt to resist.

pity--

The biggest reliance of the Koryo army, Xijing City, has been broken, and the army's morale has been dispersed. How can it be possible to stop the Liangshan army?

A few days later, Tuo Junjing rushed into the Liangshan army with dozens of guards and was hacked to death. Li Ziqian hanged himself in his home after hearing the news. I think it was Li Hye-kyo's grandfather who represented the Goryeo royal family and offered Li Yan a surrender form.

Goryeo died.
