Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

On February 17th, [-]th year of Wucheng, Huaxia, four Xia army gunboats escorted a royal boat and two troop carriers and slowly entered Jemulpo, North Korea. Immediately, the news of Zheng Antang's arrival in North Korea spread to Hanyang city, watching Li Yu, the king of the song and dance performance, fainted immediately after hearing the news, and Hanyang was also in chaos.

Speaking of it, it was decided more than ten years ago that Zheng Antang became the eldest grandson of the king of Joseon and succeeded him as the king, and the North Korean side should have been prepared for it.However, in the 15th year of Wucheng, Zheng Kezang sent an envoy to North Korea to ask Li Yu to meet in Tianjin at the beginning of the next year to discuss Zheng Antang's entry into the dynasty.As a result, Li Yu temporarily notified Huaxia that he could not make the trip under the pretext of being seriously ill.Zheng Kezang was very displeased by this, but he still gave him medicine to appease him, and asked him to meet again this year.However, the North Koreans still implemented delaying tactics. During the pilgrimage to Zheng Kezang, the envoy of Zhengdan declared that Li Yu was weak after illness and should not travel far, which completely angered Zheng Kezang.So Zheng Kezang arranged for Zheng Anyu to cross the east as soon as possible after the new year, and that's why there was this seemingly sudden attack.

Of course, it is impossible to say that the North Koreans are not prepared at all. The Changsun Mansion has actually been built for many years, but welcoming Zheng Antang into North Korea involves the redistribution of the interests of various political groups in North Korea. People don't want Huaxia to muddy the water even more.

It’s just that North Korea’s domestic politics are characterized by party struggles, and each political group has its own political demands. Therefore, the interests of all parties are always out of balance. The few princes were not reconciled to the throne, so they all hid behind the scenes. Therefore, it was quite a long way to welcome Zheng Antang to the court. Even when Zheng Kezang had clearly stated his position, the Koreans thought they could A day is a day.

Now that Zheng Kezang has a showdown, the North Korean monarchs and ministers who have been driven to a dead end can only choose between accepting the ultimatum obediently or simply turning against China. They can no longer use the so-called delaying tactics.

What?Choose a showdown with Huaxia.Don't even think about it, look at the Xia army's two expeditions to Japan and the Northern Expedition to the Qing Dynasty. Which one was not destroyed. Even if the current Korean army's combat power has improved, it is definitely not the opponent of the Xia army. See, waiting for North Korea may be directly annexed by China.And even if Huaxia does not use force, as long as the merchants are withdrawn and the income from mining and logging is gone, North Korea’s finances will not be able to sustain at all. Financial bankruptcy is only a matter of time, not to mention that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury and difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Huaxia's products, the life of the two classes of high school is too boring.

Since it is impossible to confront Huaxia, the only option is to admit defeat.

As a last resort, after six full days of hesitation, on February 25, the North Korean Uigovernment sent a team headed by Zuo Yizheng Liu Eun-gwon to Jemulpo.Fortunately for the North Koreans, Zheng Antang seemed to be very talkative, and he was not dissatisfied with North Korea's hesitation, and was even willing to give North Korea more time to prepare.

Zheng Anyu is easy to talk, but it does not mean that the Chinese envoys stationed in the DPRK are easy to talk, so Liu Enquan did not dare to delay, so early the next morning, under the guard of a regiment of Chinese imperial guards, Zheng Anyu and his party finally set off for Hanyang

"My grandson greets my grandfather." On February 29th of that year, Zheng Antang arrived in Hanyang, unwilling to stay in the guest house, he went to Changdeok Palace to pay homage to Li Xuan under the guidance of the Chinese envoy stationed in the DPRK. "I wish my grandfather a speedy recovery."

"Is it Shun Guan?" Li Yu pretended to be old-fashioned, stretched out his hand to let Zheng Antang approach him, then put his hands around Zheng Antang's face, and sized him up carefully. "Like, really like your mother." Li Xi shed two tears seemingly with affection. "It's been almost 30 years, and it's been almost 30 years since your mother left my lap."

Zheng Anyu lowered his head: "Yes, grandfather, mother also misses grandfather very much. Originally, this time, he was planning to go north to Tianjin with his father, but he was very disappointed when he heard that grandfather was still weak and unable to make the trip. When grandson left Zhongdu, I also repeatedly told you to take good care of your grandfather's body, and do your filial piety in front of you on her behalf."

Li Yu didn't want to really cry now, so he could only shed two lines of old tears without words, his hands trembling all the time.

Everyone who participated in the pilgrimage was also full of sighs. No matter what, it is always touching to know each other as flesh and blood.

But the warmth in the palace was quickly broken by Zhang Wanchao, China's messenger to the DPRK: "The foreign minister congratulates the prince and grandson of the county for their recognition, but since the Duke of Baekje has arrived in the court, should he arrange for the canonization of the grandson as soon as possible? , unable to preside over the state affairs, should we also arrange for the Baekje County Public Supervisor to regent the state affairs?"

The North Korean minister next to him became a little dissatisfied when he heard it, and Zuo Zan agreed with Ding Fu to refute: "Master Zhang, it is too hasty to confer the grandson immediately, and it seems to be against the rules of etiquette. Besides, since the king has recovered, why should he What prison country?"

Zhang Wanchao gave Ding Fu a cold look: "Rush, how long have the court and North Korea been discussing this matter, five or ten years, if this is still called haste, isn't it called not to be hasty if you don't canonize your grandson? Let's talk , although the king of the county has recovered, but he is weak in daily life, presiding over government affairs with such a weak body, Ding Zan agrees, you want to exhaust the king of the county!"

Weakness in daily life is the text in the memorial to Zheng Kezang by Li Yu. This was originally just an excuse, but now it is used by Zhang Wanchao as the reason for his inability to govern. Eating coptis is hard to tell.And the so-called words of not being hasty if you don’t canonize it are even more forced to see the palace with a dagger, which indicates that the patience of the Chinese court has reached its limit.

In order to prevent the situation from being broken, Park Yunxi, the court officer of North Korea, had no choice but to explain with a sneer: "Master Zhang is joking, the idea of ​​generation and grandson has long been known in North Korea, how can it be possible to go back on it, but it is always necessary to find an auspicious day, besides, The Duke of Baekje just arrived in North Korea, so he still needs to rest for two days."

"Auspicious day," Zhang Wanchao laughed mockingly. "Longhushan Zhengyi has already determined auspicious days. The third day and the seventeenth day of the next month are both auspicious days. Thinking about it, the canonization is very complicated. The third day is too late, so let's set it on the seventeenth. North Korea will not I feel that my life is too hasty." Under Zhang Wanchao's gaze, all the North Korean ministers were silent, so Zhang Wanchao talked to himself. "Then it's settled like this. On the [-]th of next month, the ceremony of conferring grandchildren will be held." After finishing speaking, Zhang Wanchao looked at Li Hao again. "My lord, what do you say about the supervision of the country?"

Li Yu had no choice but to grasp Zheng Anyu's hand and asked: "Officer Shun, supervising the state affairs of a country is a heavy responsibility, can you shoulder it?"

Before Zheng Anyu could answer, Zhang Wanchao answered first: "Last year, the Holy Majesty went on a tour, and he was the governor of Baekje County. Could it be that Baekje County can supervise the state affairs of China, but can't supervise the state affairs of North Korea?"

These words were extremely insidious, Li Yu said helplessly: "Well, this king is ignorant and ignorant. Well, it happens that this king is unwell and needs to be taken care of, so I will hand it over to Officer Shun now to save unnecessary trouble in the future."

Zheng Antang immediately kowtowed and said: "Grandfather, don't worry, my grandson will rule under the roof and will not change the North Korean system without authorization."

Hearing Zheng Anyu's politically wise speech, and looking at the two civil and military classes who seemed to be relaxed, Li Yan couldn't help showing a bit of bitterness on his face: "Okay, great, from now on North Korea will be handed over to you "

Li Ye, who only wanted to keep the glory and wealth in front of him, flinched, but his sons and grandsons were all burned. Of course, only a few are qualified to compete for the throne, and among these few, those who have the courage to turn against Huaxia head-on are even rarer. But there are many curses behind the scenes, and some even have other ideas.

"Assassination? Are you crazy? If this kid is publicly assassinated, can Emperor Wucheng not be implicated?" In the home of a certain North Korean prince, several frustrated people were discussing how to deal with it. "Besides, is the regiment of imperial guards next to that kid just a display? Is there any way for your people to get through the heavy security to get to his side?"

"Except for the imperial guards, all the servants in the Shisun Mansion are from the Xia Palace, and the maidservants are also sent from the Xia Kingdom, so there is no way to infiltrate them," another person added. "So it's very difficult to carry out an assassination right now. It's better to wait until their vigilance is lowered. It won't be too late to do it after adopting North Korean concubines and beautiful girls."

"If he accepts the North Korean concubine, this kid's position will be stable." Someone objected. "It's better to find a way to tamper with the rice, meat, and vegetables that he eats. The Chinese people can't even prevent this."

The seemingly safe proposal was still opposed by others: "No, everyone can eat rice, grain, meat and vegetables, so it may not be able to get into this kid's mouth. If someone else eats it by mistake, I will remind this kid instead."

"I can't go left, I can't do right. Is it possible to see that this kid has gained a firm foothold?"

"The food sent to Shisun's mansion is not easy to be poisoned. When the palace banquets, he will not eat nothing?"

"Poisoning in the palace?" Left and right looked at each other. "The investigation is also tight in the palace, who dares to do it easily, besides, if nothing happens in the palace, Emperor Wucheng may still be relentless."

"It's true, at least on the surface, Huaxia can't find an excuse to annex North Korea." So someone put forward a new suggestion. "Actually, I think the king can give him a marriage. As long as he can't evade, he can get people to sneak into Shisun's mansion. If something happens at that time, it can also be said that this kid will kill him suddenly."

"This is a good idea, but you have to keep it from the king, otherwise, with the king's temper, how dare you do such a big thing."

"Not only does the king dare not, but even the nobles who are given marriages will not dare. Therefore, we have to find some beautiful people among the middle-aged people, and then recommend them to the palace through their connections. The middleman is holding it in her hand, so she can't help but be obedient."

"It's good, but it's not easy to get into this kid's eyes. You need to have both talent and appearance. It's hard to find among middle-aged people."

"If it's hard to find, you have to find it, otherwise, you and I can only feel at ease as an idle prince."
