My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 423 Loyal

Upon hearing this, there was a deathly silence in the Joseon Palace.

However, it is such a disrespectful word.

At this moment, there are the princes of North Korea and many ministers and attendants on the court.

But no one dared to really stand up and severely criticize the audacity of these Ming court envoys.

Everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the North Korean king and the two Ming court envoys.

And secretly prayed to the God of Destiny not to make some jokes that could change the fate of the world at this sensitive time.

"Sir...don't be joking..."

After a long silence, the North Korean king's words seemed a little stiff.

However, Xie Qian's answer made the little confidence of the Korean king, who finally plucked up the courage out of anger and prepared to confront these bold Ming court envoys, fall to the bottom again.

"I'm not kidding. During the Red Turban Rebellion, two volumes of precious books were left behind and were obtained by Emperor Taizu. Now the White Lotus Sect has launched a rebellion in the city in order to find these two volumes that contain the secret of Maitreya's birth. The precious book and scroll——"

Xie Qian looked at the North Korean king.

Obviously, after hearing this, Li Yi's expression began to become uncertain.

Both of them understood that the so-called treasure book and treasure scroll probably did not exist.

Li Yi knew very well how his ancestors had recruited various forces such as the Jurchen Red Scarf Japanese pirate clan and massacred the Goryeo royal family to ascend to power.

Why did you pick up two White Lotus Books? Who knows what the relationship between the Li Chenggui family and the Red Scarf Army was when they were still in Liaodong.

Is it possible that before the Red Scarf Army attacked North Korea, the supplies they needed were prepared for them by the Li Chenggui family, a wealthy family in Liaodong that was still partially under the control of Yuanting.

The Ming Dynasty envoy in front of him was obviously hinting at the subtle connections between the Korean royal family and those White Lotus demons.

And the next sentence made the North Korean King Li Yi in front of him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"I am also acting on the orders of the Great Ming Dynasty who rules the world. Emperor Taizu declared North Korea a country without conquest. I am here today also for the sake of peace between the two countries, to expel the White Lotus traitors and prevent North Korea from falling into the hands of these monsters. Hand... Your Majesty, please don’t make any mistakes!”

Xie Qian's words have some meaning.

And the real dragon behind him is even more terrifying.

Li Yi had seen the sudden heavy rain that lasted for seven days and seven nights and almost drowned Seoul.

The huge tsunami that came all the way north from Jinling City almost swallowed the whole kingdom into its mouth.

Fortunately, the gods bless you.

A blazing fire fell from the sky and eliminated the terrifying waves.

Everyone knew where the wave came from.

The gods fought under the city of Jinling, and in the end the Ming court won in a bloody battle.

Bones are like mountains, and blood is like sea.

This is the true portrayal of that war.

The power Akito displayed in this war made the surrounding countries tremble with fear.

The illustrious Heavenly Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Middle Kingdom is truly worthy of awe and worship by everyone.

And the Ming Emperor is the one who is truly destined to rule the world.

Li Yi heard the threat hidden in the words of the old man in front of him.

If we cannot complete our mission as soon as possible, maintain the situation on the peninsula, and completely eliminate the influence of the White Lotus Sect.

When the emperor is furious, who knows what terrible things will happen?

And you, the Korean royal family who have been entangled with the White Lotus Sect in history.

There is no doubt that he will become the first victim of the Holy Emperor's accountability.

Li Yi could no longer imagine if these officials of the Ming Court's Ministry of Rites were allowed to make slanderous remarks in front of the Emperor of the Ming Court. What a terrible punishment he and his family will suffer in the future.

but--

Digging up one's own ancestral graves, this...

Seeing the uncertain look on the Korean king's face, Xie Qian realized that the time had come.

He took a step forward, and several strangers guarding the North Korean king wanted to stand up and stop him.

But a cold snort came from the direction of Qiu Luan.

Several people felt that they were being targeted by some kind of terrible predator.

My whole body was shaking involuntarily, my legs were stiff and numb, and I couldn't move.

Xie Qian came to Li Yi.

The Korean king looked confused, wondering what the Ming court was doing.

Li Yi did not think that Xie Qian would be detrimental to him.

On the one hand, it was because the person opposite him was over seventy years old, although he seemed to be in good health.

But the combat effectiveness is only about 50-50 with him at best.

On the other hand, if the Ming Dynasty is determined, it can indeed abolish the establishment of Korea, and even support some ambitious warlords, so that the Korean royal family can change the dynasty again.

But obviously, if there is no domestic will, this kind of thing cannot be done by an official of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty.

As a country designated by the Ming Dynasty as a country without conquests and the most important ship casting base.

Li Yi felt that he should still have some status in the eyes of the emperor.

"If the king can prove to us that the two treasure books are not in the tomb of Joseon Taizu, we will naturally not insist on opening the coffin and conducting an autopsy, which will embarrass the king... When the White Lotus rebels are wiped out, We will personally go to the court to ask for merit for the king as an apology."

Yes, digging up Li Chenggui's tomb and everything else were just an excuse for Xie Qian to force Li Yi to make concessions.

Li Chenggui was imprisoned and killed by his own son for ten thousand years. Even if there were good things, it was unlikely that he, a loser, would be put in his tomb.

What Xie Qian needed to check was only the clues collected by the Red Scarf Army after entering North Korea about the longevity medicine that the emperor was pursuing.

Those White Lotus Demons seemed to be sure that there was such a thing in the Joseon Palace.

We have been preparing for it in Seoul for a long time.

In order to prevent those White Lotus demons from succeeding before the Ming Dynasty, Xie Qian directly mobilized the Korean Shilin before they took action, and directly moved the Korean royal family to Kaicheng where the White Lotus Sect's power was relatively weak.

Today, the Korean royal family is completely under the control of the Ming court.

Xie Qian believed that it was time to launch a large-scale purge in North Korea to completely wipe out the White Lotus demons here.

The fire outside the royal city became brighter and brighter.

The raging fire shone into the palace of the King of Joseon through the Western glass windows purchased through the Ministry of Rites, hitting everyone in the face.

The occasional screams outside the window and the collision of iron ropes made the hearts of several people in the house tremble.

It seems that soldiers and horses from all walks of life have surrounded Kaicheng, and the campaign to eliminate the demons of the White Lotus Sect has begun.

So, what's your answer?

Xie Qian looked at the Korean King Li Yi who seemed to have finally made up his mind as the fire became more and more intense, with a subtle smile on his face.

"The White Lotus demons have committed heinous crimes. They have deceived and murdered the previous kings of Korea. Their crimes are even more unforgivable. Even if the envoy doesn't tell me, I will open the treasury and hand over the evidence of these crimes to the emperor for judgment."

Li Yi's eyes were serious. He first raised his hands toward the west to show his respect for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and then said to everyone.
