Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 226

The woman didn't know what was going on, she wiped it with her hand, it was slippery, and when she was thinking about what it was, the body of the king of North Korea, Li Xuan, collapsed to the ground with a thud, he was still alive, his hands and feet seemed to have been electrocuted He also twitched a few times, and then completely lost his breath.

Zhang Yuzhen also came to his senses, and let out a piercing scream: "Ah... the king is dead, the king was shot to death by the Qing people with muskets! The king! The king..."

As soon as she yelled, the North Koreans who were firing collapsed immediately. They originally wanted to make a contribution to "rescue" the good North Korean king from his palace and send it to the Ming army.

Now the king was shot dead by the Qing army, but what should we do?

When they were in a daze, Emperor Hu De remained relatively calm and shouted: "The king is dead, run away!"

After shouting, he took the lead and ran away, and a dozen investigators from the Daming Army Division Mansion who followed him also ran together, shouting while running: "The king is dead, run quickly! Be cleared!" The soldier was killed, run away..."

As soon as they ran away, those Korean Confucian disciples didn't dare to fight any more—the Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were so powerful that they killed their king in one blow. Forget it...it's more important to escape!

As a result, two or three hundred people dressed as North Korean "Third-hand Army" scattered like this, fleeing for their lives, and no one took care of Li Xuan's body and Zhang Yuzhen lying on the ground.

This style... looks exactly the same as the third-hand army under the jurisdiction of the real training capital!

Once the group of North Koreans disbanded, Deng Guangming and Yu Chenglong over there were also a little confused... What happened?Why did a group of North Korean soldiers shoot at me as soon as I entered Changdeok Palace, and killed several old brothers.Then the two sides fought well, and the group of North Koreans broke up again bragging.

What is this for?

Deng Guangming and Yu Chenglong still felt that there might be fraud, so they dared not rush up directly, but sent their men to investigate.

As a result, the man ran back yelling after a while.

"Great victory, great victory..."

Great victory?

Deng Guangming stared: "What are you shouting about? Where is the big victory?"

"My lord, it's really a great victory... Kill the leader of the thief!"

"The thief leader?" Yu Chenglong asked, "How do you know it's the thief leader?"

"Because the thief leader who was killed was wearing a python robe of a prince of the Ming Dynasty, and there were two women crying beside him!"

"what?"

"That is……"

Deng Guangming and Yu Chenglong were a little panicked.The python robe of the prince of the Ming Dynasty... This is the king of Joseon!

There are two women crying...the beautiful women in Changdeok Palace belong to the king of Joseon!Could it be that the king of North Korea was killed?

Thinking of this, the two rushed out from behind a hidden palace, rushed to a pile of corpses, and then saw Princess Kim holding the corpse of North Korean King Li Xuan and crying like pears and rain.

There was also a palace man with blood on his face sitting on the ground crying.

Although Li Xuan's head was blown out and his face lost its original shape, the clothes were indeed the python robes of the king of Joseon.

And that Princess Jin's costume is also extremely gorgeous, one can tell who she is a nobleman at a glance.

"It's over, it's over, let's kill the King of Korea!" Yu Chenglong panicked, "How can I explain this?"

That's right, Kangxi asked them to be the supervisors and supervisors of the country, and they were lucky. It's not a good thing if the country doesn't have a prison, and they even shot the king in the head!

No matter how you say this, it doesn't make sense!

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...the king of North Korea doesn't have a son yet!" Deng Guangming gritted his teeth, "It seems he doesn't have any brothers, does he?"

"No," said Yu Chenglong, "his father gave birth to a son of his. Although his grandfather had three sons, two of them died young, and only his father grew up. His great-grandfather had two sons, both of whom live in the in Seoul.

In addition, there are some criminals of the Joseon royal family on Ganghwa Island, among them are the descendants of the eldest son Sohyun of Joseon Injo! "

Deng Guangming immediately had an idea: "Go to Ganghwa Island quickly... Seoul is already in chaos, and we may not be able to find the two North Korean princes. It may be too late to go to Ganghwa Island now!"

He paused, then pointed at Princess Jin again, and said in a low voice: "Take this woman with you...she is a witness, this incident was caused by the rebellion of King Tongming of North Korea, and we are here to suppress the rebellion! "

Chapter 524 There is no king, what about North Korea?

Changdeokgung Palace, Dunhwamun Gate.

When Emperor Hu De sneaked out of a side door of Changdeok Palace with a dozen or so investigators from the Yousi of the Great Ming Military Division, changed into a Confucian uniform that cut people down, and then returned to Dunhua as if nothing had happened. It was dark outside the door.Yin Kai had already arrived, and was watching with a livid face the "third-hand army" with torches and lanterns in the brigade marching mightily into the Dunhua Gate of Changdeok Palace, which was already under the control of the third-hand army...

He was surrounded by a group of officials from the North Korean Ui government and generals of the third-hand army... Judging from this posture, it seemed that Yin Kai had launched a coup and instigated the third-hand army to rebel and break into Changdeok Palace!

Emperor Hu De rolled his eyeballs, and immediately changed into an extremely exaggerated expression. He went up and asked, "Yin Baihu, what's going on? It seems that there has been a palace change..."

Yin Kai rolled his eyes at him angrily, and said in a calm voice, "It doesn't seem like a palace change has happened, but a palace change has really happened!"

"What? Has there really been a palace change? Mr. Baihu, could it be you..."

Yin Kai rolled his eyes again, "It's not the old man, it's, it's... Deng Guangming, the Imperial Envoy of the Qing Dynasty!"

Yin Kai is so angry!Although he has already discussed with Jin Xuan and Li Yongxi, if the king does not accept their "remonstrance", then the third-hand army who trained the capital will forcibly march into Changdeok Palace to carry out remonstrance... This is almost a coup d'état !

But his coup plan was not implemented at all, because someone grabbed it before him!

This is really unreasonable, there is still a queue for a palace change, so there is a first-come first-served approach to this matter?

What made Yin Kai vomit blood even more was that Deng Guangming, a bad old man who looked out of tune, and a veteran soldier with a gray beard and two or three beards, turned out to be so cruel when he launched a ruthless attack.

They were so frantic that they dared to take advantage of the chaos in the capital of North Korea to take advantage of the chaos with only two or three hundred veterans who became grandpas!

What's even more exaggerated is that this kind of thing was actually done. The two or 300 people once broke the Changdeok Palace, and after a lot of looting, they swaggered away!

This is simply a disgrace!

And because of his messing around, Changdeok Palace was in total chaos, palace servants and servants were running around everywhere, and some of them even ran out.

And those people who ran out were still bluffing all kinds of sensational rumors, some said that the king was captured by the Qing captives!

There are also people who say that the king personally fought the Qinglu who broke into Changdeok Palace, and fought with the Qinglu Jianguo for [-] rounds. In the end, he was defeated and was beheaded by his horse. Of course, Yin Kai would not believe this kind of nonsense, because he knew that The great king Li Xuan has no ability to kill people on horseback.

But Yin Kai still couldn't get in touch with King Li Xuan, and Changdeok Palace was in chaos again. In desperation, he had no choice but to order Jin Xuan and Li Yongxi to lead the three-handed army into Changdeok Palace to escort... If they can find the "driver" "if!

If the "driving" is gone, things will be troublesome!

Just when Yin Kai was thinking about whether to send someone to control King Renzu's two sons, Chong Shan Jun and Le Shan Jun, he suddenly heard crying from far and near, looked up, It was found that Jin Xuan and Li Yongxi were crying and running out of Dunhua Gate.

Seeing this scene, Yin Kai's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition enveloped his heart.

"Training General, Chinese Army, what happened?" Yin Kai asked quickly.

"My lord, my lord is gone!"

"The king is dead, and he was shot down by Deng Guangming's men with muskets!"

"What? Your Majesty..." Yin Kai's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted.

Emperor Hu De had been prepared for a long time, rushed forward, supported Yin Kai, and at the same time asked loudly: "Who is in charge of the Changdeok Palace now? The king is gone, who should the new king be?"

Jin Xuandao: "The king is gone, and the concubine was also taken away by Deng Guangming. Now only the concubine Wang is still in the palace."

Li Yongxi said: "The princess Wang has lost her mind. She knows that Mr. Baihu has arrived outside the palace, so she wants to invite you to Shoujing Hall to discuss the country's affairs."

Yin Kai turned his head and glanced at Emperor Hu De, "Hu Guan, you are an angel of tomorrow... Please go to the palace with me to meet the princess Wang."

……

Jingshoutang is the place where the queen of Joseon lived for the elderly. In addition to the princess Kim, there is also Princess Ming'an Li Wenji, the daughter of the Kim family, living here.

When Yin Kai, Hu Dedi, Jin Xuan, and Li Yongxi came to have an audience, the princess of Joseon, who had just lost her son, was still crying and wiping her tears, which seemed quite sympathetic.A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl knelt beside the princess, speaking Korean in a low voice, probably some comforting words.Following the dim light in Jingshou Hall, Emperor Hu De secretly took a look at the little girl who was qualified to comfort the Princess of Joseon.

It turned out that this was an extremely outstanding little beauty, with a complexion as white as jade, slender red phoenix eyes, tear stains on the corners of the eyes and cheeks, obviously she had just cried, she looked very pitiful.

Seeing Yin Kai, Emperor Hu De, Jin Xuan, and Li Yongxi coming in, the princess Wang was crying again, the little girl could only sigh, with tears in her eyes, and said: "There is a catastrophe in the palace, the king was shot by the Qing captives with a musket." He was hit on the head and died, and the princess was also taken away by the Qing people..."

After listening to her words, Yin Kai, Jin Xuan, and Li Yongxi fell to the ground in tears, kowtowed and saluted to Princess Wang while crying.

Emperor Hu De just stood there, motionless.

The girl glanced at Emperor Hu De, and asked in fluent Chinese: "Who is Mr.? Why don't you kneel down when you see Princess Wang?"

"The angels of the kingdom do not worship the king of a small state!" Emperor Hu De said, "I am the observation envoy of the Korean Dao of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hu De. I have seen the princess Wang... I don't know how to call this girl?"

"It turns out to be the Great Angel," the girl introduced herself, "My little daughter, Lord Ming An of the Chosun Kingdom."

The girl turned out to be Li Wenji, the sister of the Joseon King Li Xuan.Princess or something is called by North Koreans in private, and Daejang Angel dare not call himself that in front of him.So her official title is Lord Ming An.

"My lord," said Emperor Hu De, "this envoy came to meet the king of Joseon under the order of King Jian Guoming. I didn't expect..."

Weng Lord Ming An sighed: "For the time being, there is no king in North Korea!" She then said to Yin Kai, Jin Xuan, and Li Yongxi: "The king has no heirs, and no brothers...so Wang Dafei wants to ask the three of you, who can do it now?" Into Changdeok Palace?"

Yin Kai sighed: "Now in Seoul, the royal families closest to the king's blood are Chongshan Lord, Leshan Lord, Fuchang Lord, Fuping Lord and others..."

"Then invite Lord Chongshan and Lord Leshan to enter the palace!" Lord Ming'an did not mention Lord Fuchang and Lord Fuping, because they had the "red sleeve change" because of the "red sleeve change" of the two people who fornicated the palace maids during the filial piety for Emperor Xianzong. (North Korean court ladies called Hongxiu) have a bad relationship with Wang Dafei Kim, if they become king or Daewon Lord, Wang Dafei Kim's life will be difficult.

"This..." Yin Kai has a good relationship with Mr. Fuchang and Mr. Fuping, so he doesn't want to rule them out.

"According to Lord Weng!" Emperor Hu De spoke at this time.

Emperor Hu De is an angel of the Great Tomorrow, and [-] soldiers of the Great Tomorrow will arrive in Seoul soon, so his words certainly carry weight.

"so be it!"

No matter how good the relationship between Yin Kai and Lord Fuchang and Lord Fuping is, it is impossible for them to confront the Angel of Heaven... and during the national funeral, these two guys took advantage of the opportunity of entering the palace to keep the filial piety and put the maid to sleep.

This thing is indeed a bit too much!The Nanren Party can keep them from being convicted, but it's okay to keep them as kings.

Seeing that Yin Kui backed down because of the words of "Angel Hu", Lord Ming An gave Emperor Hu De a grateful look.

Emperor Hu De nodded in response.

In fact, Emperor Hu De knew very well that Lord Chongshan, Lord Leshan, Lord Fuchang, Lord Fuping and others were no longer in Seoul.Emperor Hu De's men had pretended to be disciples of Confucianism, captured the four of them and their descendants, and sent them to two strongholds in Incheon for custody.

So what he gave to Master Ming An was nothing more than a favor... and this little girl looks okay, maybe it will be of great use!

Chapter 525

In the dim light of Xuanzheng Hall in Changdeokgung Palace, Princess Kim, who had just experienced the pain of bereavement, had already changed into mourning clothes and was sitting upright on a cushion.On a face that was originally quite delicate, now there was no expression, only numbness remained.

Li Wenji, the lord of Ming'an, also changed into mourning clothes now, and sat next to his mother, Princess Jin... This was originally a seat that did not conform to the Korean national etiquette, but now it is a helpless choice.Because the just-concluded Changdeok Palace Change has dealt an unprecedented blow to the royal family of the Lee Dynasty in North Korea.

Not only was the king of the Li Dynasty Li Xuan killed by the Qing soldiers, but the concubine Kim was plundered, and even the Chongshan, Leshan, Fuchang, Fuping, and other close branches of the Joseon royal family, along with their descendants, were all taken away. Holding a stick, a Confucian disciple wearing a black silk gown abducted him.

The members of the Joseon Lee Dynasty royal family in Seoul are almost empty!

As the lord, Li Wenji became the only member of the Li Dynasty in Seoul under this kind of coincidence arranged by someone who did not know.Although it's just a 13-year-old girl, it's better than nothing...

The number of high-ranking officials in the North Korean Yi government has also decreased by more than half. Many officials who have joined the Confucianism, including Xu Ji, the leader of Yizheng, have disappeared from the court.

However, in North Korea, where the party and government are fierce and the two classes of nobles are overflowing, the most indispensable thing is probably those who are qualified to serve as officials in the court.

That Song Shilie, who is in his early seventies this year and has been privately called "Song Zi" by the younger generations of the Western People's Party, is now leading a group of Western People's Party members who are in opposition, and appears in the Xuanzheng Palace with a sad face-he is an old man. A well-known anti-Qing and Fuming activist in North Korea, although his old man will not do anything other than talk and resign.But the integrity is still quite commendable!

Because the old man of Joseon Dynasty (that is, the one in Nanhan Mountain City) worshiped Huang Taiji three times and kowtowed nine times, he pulled a group of people who refused to serve as Renzu. They lived in seclusion in the mountains together, calling themselves the Shandang.

This group of people did not call into office until after Injo's death in the sixth year of Shunzhi, when he was enthroned by the anti-Qing Fenglin Dajun (Korean Hyojong), and then proposed the policy of "repairing the army and fighting the barbarians" to prepare for trouble.

Later, when Duo Ama of Shunzhi heard that there were troubles in North Korea, he sent six Manchurian soldiers to North Korea to reprimand the Emperor Xiaozong, which was called "six envoys scolding" in history.When Emperor Xiaozong of Korea saw the Manchurian soldiers coming, he was naturally frightened.So Song Shilie and others resigned and went back to seclusion... If they can't beat the Manchurian soldiers, can't I not serve them?

In the following many years, the old man did not want to be an official in various ways. Although he was forced to be an official several times, he resigned after not working for long.

After leaving the field, of course it is "work".His method of "doing" is to dominate two disputes over mourning clothes - that is, the struggle around how long Renzu's wife, Concubine Ciyi, should wear mourning for her son and daughter-in-law.The first battle over mourning clothes was won by old man Song, and the power of the Western People's Party rose sharply.However, the second battle over mourning clothes overthrew old man Song, and he was exiled for the "crime of bad etiquette and chaos".

However, this "old man" branded himself as a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty early on - his refusal to become an official because Ren Zu turned his back on the Ming Dynasty and voted to the Qing Dynasty showed that he was more loyal to the Ming Dynasty than to the Li Dynasty.

In the case of the revival of the Ming Dynasty, his old man is the biggest political correctness in North Korea, and the "crime of bad etiquette and chaos" is not a problem at all.

And now that the Joseon Dynasty is almost gone, what else is there to be chaotic?

In addition to the Western People's Party brought by the "old leader" Song Shilie, Yin Kai's Northern Expedition faction of the Southern People's Party also has a place in today's Xuanzheng Hall.

Although their "Northern Expedition" was empty shouting, Zhong Daming, the "old leader", just resigned.

Neither of the two sides should say who is only talking.

And the question now is, how can the platform of these two groups of people continue to maintain it?

The eldest sons of the closest branch of the Li Dynasty are all on the side of the Qing Dynasty, so there must be no way to usher in the kingship.However, most of the descendants of the Li Dynasty in the distant branch are "Suipai people", that is, idle clans without titles.If one of them is found to be the great king, will there be any more disputes after Da Ming helps North Korea regain its lost land and rescues the kidnapped descendants of Li Chaojin?

In addition, what is Daming's position?

Thinking of this, neither the Western People's Party nor the Southern People's Party dared to speak first... Everyone turned their attention to Emperor Hu De, the Ming Dynasty's North Korean observer.

Ming's three thousand heavenly soldiers marched into Seoul yesterday afternoon. They were all fusiliers, and there were horse-drawn cannons. The flintlocks had shiny bayonets on them, and they looked scary.

With the backing of these [-] elite soldiers, Emperor Hu De's words certainly carry more weight!

"There are still many members of the near branch of the Joseon royal family who are still alive. Although they are temporarily detained by Qing Yao, they are still there after all."

Emperor Hu De frowned, and seemed to be weighing repeatedly, "Under such circumstances, it is not appropriate to welcome the distant clan who is no longer a relative. If those close branches return in the future, how will the new king deal with himself? "
