Chapter 134 Returning to Ming Dynasty
"impossible!"

As soon as Cui Mingji finished speaking, Li Liang suddenly yelled.He has gone through many inquiries, and only the king is qualified to use this jade pendant.How could the damn thing be false?
At this time, everyone in the hall looked at Cui Mingji.

Cui Mingji looked at the angry Li Liang and smiled slightly.

"Do you know where your flaw lies?"

"You are wrong. You shouldn't take out this jade pendant. Because it reminds me of an old thing."

"When the late king first succeeded to the throne, he once called me into the palace to discuss matters. At that time, I was still an official and judge. After discussing the political affairs, the late king took out a jade pendant for me to admire. He said it was carved from the best jadeite rewarded by the Ming Dynasty. Yes, the late king liked it very much. Later, he accidentally lost it when he went to the back mountain to play. The late king still felt sorry for it for many days. As for how it got into your hands, I don’t know. There is also the maid you mentioned, It should be because the guards were kicked out of the palace, right? There are records in these palaces, and you can find out when you check it. I also heard what the former king said casually when I entered the palace. Besides, the one you said took bribes and let you go Mother's chamberlain should also have records. If he is still alive, call him and ask."

After Cui Mingji finished speaking, he stopped looking at Li Liang in front of him and sat with his head bowed, not knowing what to think about.

Zhang Zhiji ordered people to look through the records in the palace, and found that there was indeed a record 16 years ago that he set out to have an affair with a maid of honor, and recorded the name of the servant who was in charge of disposing of her at that time.

"Han Daye"

Still working in the palace.

Zhang Zhiji sent someone to find Han Dazhi again, and explained the situation.

Han Dazhi immediately fell to his knees and cried bitterly.

"The little one really didn't know about this! The little one did take her money and let her go. But she was not pregnant at all, and the guard was executed!"

Cui Mingji's qualifications are old, and he has always been the celebrity in front of Li Zhen.What is said is authoritative.

As an old man in the palace, Han Dazhi's words can also be convincing.

At this time, the truth of the matter has become clear.

Everyone in the hall cast their eyes on Li Liang, only to see him limp on the ground in a daze.

"Impossible! Impossible! My mother will not lie to me! You all work together to give false testimony! It is clear that you are quite the king!"

"Bastard!"

After Zhang Zhiji heard this, he directly waved and asked someone to take him out.

Li Liang, it's cold.

Hearing Li Liang's screams that stopped abruptly outside, the ministers in the room trembled somewhat.

This is too ruthless, cut it as soon as you say it.

"What should I do now? It's been more than ten days, and I can't even find anyone. It's a fucking fake. I'm still waiting to return to Beijing to resume my duties. How can I stay here forever?"

Zhang Zhiji looked at the Korean ministers in the hall and said with some dissatisfaction.

"I'll give you another ten days. If you still can't find the royal family, this general will return to the court. The [-] troops are stationed, and people eat horse chews every day. Don't you want money? My ugly words are up front. When the time comes, you North Korea is in turmoil, we won’t take care of it anymore. It just so happens that whoever wins the battle will be the king, and I, Daming, will be happy to be free.”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhiji walked out with his soldiers.

The people in the hall were left with a look of disappointment and looked at each other.

It's not that we don't want to look for it, what we find is fake, what can we do?If you pull it out and chop it up, we won't even be able to find a fake one.

Is the sky going to destroy the Joseon Dynasty?

Immediately, some ministers looked sad, full of bewilderment about the future.

That night, Zhang Zhiji hosted a banquet for Cui Mingji at his residence.

"Mr. Cui Yuan, thank you for today's matter." Zhang Zhiji said to Cui Mingji while pouring wine.

"I don't know what the father-in-law is going to do next?" Cui Mingji didn't answer Zhang Zhiji's words, after all, betrayal is not something worth showing off.But quietly changed the name of Zhang Zhiji.

"What's your opinion, Mr. Cui Yuan?" Zhang Zhiji didn't answer either, but asked back with a smile.

"If the Lord withdraws all the soldiers stationed in other cities, will someone take the opportunity to make trouble?"

"Haha! If so?"

"That means that North Korea will really have no peace if it leaves Daming."

"The general doesn't want to see this kind of thing happen, but our army came here to help you drive away Jiannu. How can you stay here for a long time? It's not justified!"

"What if it is the common will of the people of the whole country?"

"I will have to trouble Mr. Cui Yuan to do more work for the common people."

"Good to say."

The two looked at each other and smiled, holding up their wine glasses together.

On the second day, Zhang Zhiji ordered the soldiers stationed in various cities to evacuate.

The night of the day

A group of rogue bandits who didn't know where they came from attacked Wenshan Mountain, plundered the city and left.

Dozens of civilians were killed or injured in the city.

Then there were riots in Kaesong, Jishan, Qingzhou, Haizhou and other places.For a time, the whole of North Korea fell into chaos.

The ministers of the DPRK and China jointly asked Zhang Zhiji to see him.

"General, the defenders of the cities cannot withdraw. If you withdraw, the people will suffer!"

"Then what should I do? This general can't be stationed in North Korea for the rest of his life, right? I have a family, and my soldiers also have families. I don't stay at home, so I can take care of your home and guard the courtyard for you? Why? Your Majesty Mercy, I can't bear the suffering of your people. But the soldiers are also his people. The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. Are you willing to embarrass the benevolent Majesty? I have already asked His Majesty for an order. The agreed date is five days away, and the time is one Let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered people to drive out all the ministers.

"How can this be done?"

"Yes. Once the Ming army leaves in a few days, won't the royal city be in chaos?"

"That's right. The family's property is here. What if it is robbed?"

The crowd fell silent.

How can you tell the truth, you idiot.

We are pleading for the people.

"Why don't you ask Cui Yuanjun?"

"also!"

A group of people flocked to Cui Mingji's mansion again.

"Yuanjun. We just went to see Duke Yingying of Ming Dynasty, and said that if we can't find anyone from the clan in a few days, he will definitely withdraw his troops. We can't let him go!"

"Think of a way, Lord Yuan!"

Each of these people has a family, a land, a field and a property.No one wants the domestic situation to be turbulent, and it is hard to survive the previous two storms, who wants to live in fear all day long.

Cui Mingji quietly listened to their chatter.

"The Ming army sent troops from thousands of miles to help us drive away the slaves. It is the utmost benevolence. As the saying goes, a country cannot live without a king. Right now, the clan has all died at the hands of thieves. Once the Ming army retreats, our dynasty will be torn apart, and the war will continue. It is us unarmed people who are suffering during the interim! If I want the people in my court to live in peace, I am afraid that there is only one way to go right now."

"Mr. Yuan, please tell me quickly!"

"Submit to Daming!" Cui Mingji said slowly.

"what?"

"How can this be done! Aren't we going to become subjugated slaves?"

Cui Mingji's suggestion caused a violent rebound from everyone.

They are afraid of death, but they also want to save face.

Returning to Ming Dynasty may bring a stable life to the common people.What about them?Although they often call themselves common people, they are not real common people.They have a family, a mouth, a field and a property.Can you compare with those mud legs?
"Right now, if we take the initiative to surrender, we can still negotiate some conditions with Daming. If we wait for a while, I'm afraid it's hard to say whether our wealth and lives are still there."

Cui Mingji naturally knew what they were thinking.It's nothing more than thinking about preserving one's own status and family property.As for the life and death of the people, how many people really care?

His words made everyone calm down and fell into deep thought.

"Yuanjun, if we make a request, will the Ming court agree? Or will it be changed overnight?"

"Yes, Lord Yuan."

Cui Mingji secretly smiled inwardly, his face was indeed pensive.

"I don't think so. Think about it, even if you surrender to Daming, there will always be someone to govern this huge North Korea. The Emperor of Ming has no choice but to use us!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone suddenly became enlightened.

Yes!

Makes sense!

"Go back and discuss and discuss, see what requests you have, and bring them up. Let's go and communicate with Zhang Zhiji together."

"it is good!"

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Everyone left excitedly.

Cui Mingji quickly passed the news to Zhang Zhiji, making Zhang Zhiji ready to deal with it.

The ministers of the DPRK and China began to connect with each other in full swing.

Vow to come up with a charter before the Ming army retreats.

September 28

The day before the Ming army withdrew, Cui Mingji led a group of ministers to find Zhang Zhiji.

A group of people stayed in Zhang Zhiji's house for a long time, and they didn't know what they talked about.

In short, all of them were smiling when they came out.

September 29

every moment

Zhang Zhiji was dressed in military uniform, ready to set off on his way home.

But as soon as he got out of the city gate, he found that people were densely packed outside the gate. When he saw Zhang Zhiji leading his troops out, he immediately knelt down.
