Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

If you don’t do what each generation has to do, someone will eventually do it. But the nature of what was done then has completely changed from what it is done now!

A blizzard arrives quietly.

The cold wind howled.

The coming cold wind blew the white snow away.

It was gray.

"Snowing."

In a courtyard covered with white snow, Liu Hongxun, wearing a scarlet official robe, stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky, with a look of sadness on his face.

"Mr. Ge, it's cold in Seoul. You'd better wear thicker clothes to avoid catching the wind and cold." The person behind him unfolded the cloak he was holding, stepped forward, and put his hand on Liu Hongxun's shoulders.

"It's already November."

Liu Hongxun didn't care about this at all, and still looked up at the sky, "The day of Zhengdan is getting closer and closer, and the King of Joseon is still hiding from me. It seems that this trip to Korea will be much more difficult than expected."

After hearing this, the man behind him showed a somewhat complicated expression.

"Mr. Ge, otherwise I'll wait until I return to the capital."

The man hesitated for a long time, frowned and looked at Liu Hongxun and said: "Li Zhu, the following usurper, has violated the etiquette of our court. Li Zhu is not popular at all in the court. The elder Ge came to the court with the order to represent the identity of the suzerain and come to talk to the vassal. North Korea negotiated, but he..."

"Confused!!"

Liu Hongxun frowned and reprimanded: "The more this happens, the less easily we can leave the DPRK. None of the errands Your Majesty has entrusted to me have been completed. How can we just give up halfway?"

After hearing this, the man lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.

When Zhu Youxiao left Beijing with great fanfare and started patrolling the border, he was gathering momentum for the big event he planned. North Korea, thousands of miles away, also quietly experienced some changes due to the appearance of some people.

As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea was listed as a country not subject to conquest by Emperor Taizu Gao. Because it was the closest to the Ming Dynasty, North Korea was deeply influenced by the Ming Dynasty. From the national system, to the military system, to culture, to the economy and other fields, it was closely related to the Ming Dynasty. There are many similarities to the Ming Dynasty, which also makes North Korea known as Little China!

It's just that the current North Korea, following the turmoil a few years ago, is quite different from before. Even within North Korea itself, the seemingly stable situation is actually turbulent!

All this is closely related to Li Zhu's usurpation.

Although the previous King of Joseon, Li Hui, did a lot of outrageous things during his tenure, which caused many groups to oppose him in the government and the public, and even directly led to Li Zhu's usurpation, Li Zhu succeeded, and even rewarded him with a reward. A group of people came together to consolidate the foundation and status of his rule in the dynasty, but this did not affect some people's criticism and doubts about Li Xu, and even shaken Li Xu's rule in the dynasty!

"Mr. Ge, I think that the fact that the North Korean King Li Jie didn't come out to see you just shows that his heart has been shaken." Another person standing next to him glanced at his colleague and stepped forward to salute Liu Hongxun. .

"I'm afraid that at this time, Li Zhuo may have secretly summoned the ministers for discussion more than once. The more the situation is like this, the more it will test who can keep calm."

"Yes."

Liu Hongxun showed an expression of approval, turned around and glanced at the man, "The ones who are anxious now are not us, but King Li Zhu of Joseon and others. Although I only have a few days to come to Korea, it is not difficult to see that , Li Zhu’s recent situation in the government is not particularly good.”

Although Li Zhu overthrew Li Hui's rule through that usurpation, with the assistance of some groups, there were also serious differences within this patchwork faction.

Li Shi was conferring rewards to some groups to consolidate his rule and status, but he did not satisfy everyone after all. This led to the Li Shi Rebellion not long after in North Korea.

The rebellion had a great impact on North Korea.

It's just that at that time, Ming Dynasty had too many things to solve and had no intention of paying attention to North Korea, so it missed this opportunity.

Liu Hongxun transferred from Dongjiang Town to North Korea. Although he had not been in Seoul for a long time, Liu Hongxun knew a lot of things from the time he landed in North Korea to the time he rushed to Seoul.

As early as the first year of Taichang, Liu Hongxun had been sent to North Korea as an envoy. His reputation in North Korea was very high, especially among some great scholars in North Korea, who were very popular with Liu Hongxun.

"Have all the imperial edicts of this auxiliary been distributed?"

Liu Hongxun stretched out his hand to tighten his cloak, looked at the two people in front of him and said.

"They're all distributed."

One person hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Except for a few people, everyone else has made it clear that they want to come. Counting the time, they have already arrived at the imperial envoy post."

"Is the banquet ready?"

After hearing this, Liu Hongxun looked at the other person and said.

"Go back to the pavilion, sir, everything is ready."

The man was busy bowing and saying goodbye.

"Go and have a look again."

Liu Hongxun said uneasily: "This is the time to demonstrate the prestige of our country, the Ming Dynasty. There must be no mistakes. The people I invited are all great Confucians who enjoy a high reputation in the court."

"I'll go and keep an eye on you now."

The man responded immediately.

"Go."

Liu Hongxun waved his hand and said.

Liu Hongxun didn't take the attitude of King Li Zhu of Joseon seriously. He could hide for a while, but he couldn't hide for the rest of his life unless Li Zhu didn't want to get what he wanted.

Although the Ming Dynasty is indeed encountering some troubles and problems, no one dares to question the identity of the Ming Dynasty's sovereign state.

Especially these vassal states belonging to the Ming Dynasty! !

If anyone really dares to do this, not to mention how Ming Dynasty will react, I am afraid that it will cause great ripples and impact in their own country.

The illustrious national prestige that the Ming Dynasty had established since the early Ming Dynasty either experienced some setbacks in Liaodong or collapsed immediately. The Ming army may not have been able to completely suppress the Jianlu rebellion, and was even suppressed by the rampant Jianlu Eight Banners, but this This does not mean that other forces can provoke wantonly!

This is the Ming Dynasty.

Although we are indeed in a lot of trouble right now, we still maintain our pride and backbone! !

"Your Majesty, maybe you were right from the beginning."

Looking at the man's back hurriedly leaving, Liu Hongxun muttered to himself with some sadness, "Some things must be taken proactively and should not be passively endured. If the imperial court could face up to some things a few years ago, it wouldn't be As for getting to this point.”

After an absence of several years, he once again rushed to North Korea with orders. The various experiences he experienced along the way made Liu Hongxun's thoughts change a lot. From the initial worries about some of the emperor's ideas, to now he has begun to truly accept them. The psychological journey involved Perhaps Liu Hongxun is the only one who understands the changes best.

It is precisely this that makes Liu Hongxun extremely determined. He must promote the emperor's decree in North Korea. Perhaps if he promotes it, he can promote the changes in Liaodong, and this may make the emperor's plan better. Implement it...
