Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1121 The Weak King of Korea

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty has fainted, please go to the imperial physician!"

In the court of Goryeo, the ministers serving the new court frantically helped King Li Mo who had suddenly fainted.

The imperial physician from the imperial hospital was hurriedly summoned to the outer mansion where Li Mo was located, and everyone came in and out, fearing that the young king would have an accident due to illness, otherwise the already chaotic situation in Korea would become even more chaotic.

Jin Zidian, the commander of the new army, led his troops to guard outside Li Lu's mansion, feeling a little uneasy.

"Is Your Majesty okay?" Many Korean officials who were not present but heard the news came to ask Jin Zidian, especially the reformist officials who were studying in Liaonan University with Li Min and Jin Zidian.

"I haven't woken up yet. As for whether my life is in danger, it depends on the ability of the imperial physician." Jin Zi nodded.

Li Min took over the Goryeo court, which was constantly fighting among the parties, and because his own reform ideas violated the interests of various factions, he asked officials from various factions to jointly resist Li Min's reform measures, and kept citing the rules of his ancestors to talk about things.There were also local landlords and officials rebelling in various places, which made Li Mo's court feel powerless. Even Zheng Zhilong led the Beiyang Fleet to help put down the rebellion, but it could not quell the successive rebellions in Goryeo.

Because Houjin was wiped out by Chu Yun in advance, Koryo Kingdom was not harmed too much by Huang Taiji, with a population of millions, and the degree of civilization was not low by the influence of the Central Plains and Japan, and it claimed to be a small China.

"This is the third time that His Majesty the King has fainted during the court meeting this year. It is really worrying. What if something happens to His Majesty and he has no heirs?"

"Shen Qiyuan and other rebels supported Lord Huai En, trained general Ju Renhou, and Jin Qingzheng, the son of the leader of the government, and others supported Lord Fenglin. Among the rebels, these two forces are the most powerful, and there are other forces. People and horses appear and disappear, and if no one stabilizes the overall situation, the government may be in danger."

"The two consecutive years of war have left a lot of farmland deserted. Coupled with the bad weather, many villages have suffered famines, and people who starved to death have caused plagues. Our government has no spare power to deal with it..."

"It really echoes the words of the Central Plains. The leak in the house happens to rain overnight. The resistance we the reformers encountered was too fierce. Those old guys responded with their own prestige, and they were unwilling to hand over the land just for their own benefit. The land The problem is the fundamental problem, and only by solving land mergers can fundamental changes be completed.”

Reformist officials gathered in front of Li Wei's mansion to discuss the difficulties they have encountered in recent days.

Most of their reformers are the younger generation who have received the new education in the university in southern Liaoning. What they have in common is ideals and radicalism. They want to change and strengthen Goryeo, but they are opposed by the older generation.

The older generation has the vast majority of political resources and connections. They can accept advanced firearms and utensils, but they cannot accept the nationalization of land and the new system.

Jin Zi nodded and his eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.As the leader of the new army and a former member of the Western People's Party, he can be said to be the oldest person in the reformist group, and his political skills are stronger than Li Luo.As long as he is willing, he can even lead troops into Li Luo's mansion and replace him.

However, he knew that he did not have royal blood, and even if he wanted to replace Li Min to clean up the mess, he would not be able to gain a firm foothold.What's more, there is Chu Yun behind Li Luo to support him, and Jin Zidian also depends on Chu Yun's wink.

Concubine Jiang stayed by Li Mo's bed, seeing Li Mo with a pale face, her heart ached like a knife.Li Mo's appearance seems to be a different person compared to returning to Korea from southern Liaoning. He was a high-spirited student before, but now he has become a haggard king.

"My lord, your majesty, his life is not in danger for the time being. However, his body is getting weaker and weaker, and his three meals a day have become one meal. If this continues, he will easily lose balance between yin and yang, and get weak and sick. If this continues, he may die soon. worry." The chief physician said respectfully to the princess.

"Your Majesty often says that he lacks appetite and cannot eat. Do you have any prescriptions to make His Majesty want to eat more?" Jiang asked worriedly.

"Your Majesty is suffering from mental illness, and the medicine from the outside world may not help. Only when your mind is resolved, can you be happy and have a good appetite. From my point of view, it is best for Your Majesty to rest in a quiet place and stop caring about court affairs." Let's wait until the body recovers to see what happens." The imperial physician said.

"It's not easy to ask His Majesty to give up the court affairs. His Majesty became what he is now because of the troubles of the court affairs. If it continues..." Jiang said quietly.

"Let me take my leave for the time being. I will go down and order the medicine boy to make medicine for His Majesty, and it will be delivered to the mansion soon. I also ask the princess to persuade Your Majesty more, and hope that Your Majesty can take care of your health."

"You go down."

Seeing that the imperial physicians had retreated, Mrs. Jiang saw that she and Li Luo were the only ones in the room.

Alas, Jiang sighed faintly, if she could persuade Li Mo, he wouldn't be so weak.

Jiang sees Li Mo's determination and resistance to change. She, who also studied in the Southern Liaoning University, has broken away from the feudal society's concept of women. Behind it, it's just that she can't help her husband solve the current difficult problems.

After a while, the weak Li Mo woke up leisurely: "Where is this..."

"Your Majesty, this is our home, and you fainted during the court meeting again." Jiang said.

"Look at my useless body..." Li Luo said angrily, looking weak.

"In my opinion, it's better for you to retire temporarily to recuperate, and leave it to Jin Zidian and others to take care of the affairs of the court. You will return to the court when your body recovers. You are still so young, your majesty, you only need to take care of your body and your health. Those stubborn old guys will consume them, sooner or later they will be consumed to death, and then you will have the final say, Your Majesty?" Jiang urged.

"Now the situation is turbulent, famines and plagues are constantly happening everywhere. How can I go to rest alone at this time? It's not that you don't understand me. If you don't see that there is inexhaustible food on our land and sea The flag of our merchants is flying, and I can't feel at ease for a moment." Although Li Mo was weak, he still insisted.

"But, if things go on like this, we don't even have children..." Jiang sobbed again and again.

"Please give me another period of time. If it still doesn't work, then discuss again." Li Min said with difficulty, "Maybe one or two years, maybe three or four years..."

"Hmm..." Jiang nodded with tears in her eyes, but her heart was still uneasy. With Li Lu's physical condition, could she still last for a year or two?
