Chapter 820: Envoy Of The Ming Dynasty: This Small Country Actually Dares To Threaten Me [Please Sub
Although the dynasty meeting in the 18th year of Hongwu has come to an end, the "Ming Dynasty's Second Five-Year Medium and Long-term Development Plan" jointly formulated by all the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty has just begun.
The Ministry of Rites and the Minister of Rites, Song Lian, drafted an edict to the King of Goryeo shortly after the meeting of the Great Dynasty, as Zhu Yuanzhang said at the meeting, and then sent an envoy to send the emperor's edict to Goryeo on behalf of the Ming Dynasty.
Goryeo, the King of Goryeo at this time was Wang Yu, the 32nd monarch of the Goryeo Dynasty and the last King of Goryeo.
Before ascending the throne, he was granted the title of Grand King of Gangnyeong Prefecture. In 1374, after King Gongmin was murdered, he was promoted to the throne by Li Renren. In 1377, he was canonized as King of Goryeo by the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
According to the original history, he should have accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty in 1385, the eighteenth year of Hongwu, and truly became the King of Goryeo.
However, after being mixed up by Yan Changqing, history naturally changed.
"May I ask the angel, what does His Majesty the Emperor mean by this?!"
"Although Goryeo is small, it cannot be insulted like this!!!"
King Wang You of Goryeo tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and looked at the arrogant Ming envoy in front of him, his anger mixed with a little confusion.
Just now the Ming envoy brought the latest decree of His Majesty the Ming Emperor.
At first, he thought it was the Ming Emperor's decree to confer him the title of King of Korea.
He even thought of waiting for the Ming Emperor's decree to confer him the title of King of Korea, and then use the power of the Ming suzerainty to suppress Li Renren and other ministers.
Because he was supported by Li Renren and other ministers, his position as King of Goryeo was not secure.
Not to mention unstable, just a puppet.
Just like in the twelfth year of Hongwu (1379), Xu Wan, a literary scholar in the Zhengtang, and Yin Bangyan, a fellow Zhimi Zhi, asked their wives to rely on Wang Yu's wet nurse Zhang and asked her to speak ill of Lin Jianwei to Wang Yu, so Wang Yu banned Lin Jianwei. Jianwei and others enter the palace.
Lin Jianwei told Qing Fuxing, Li Renren, Cui Ying and others that Xu Wan wanted to kill all their rulers. Everyone, including Cui Ying, was shocked.
After they learned about Zhang's role, Cui Ying summoned an army to force the palace and asked Wang Yu to hand over Zhang. Wang Yu refused and even cried for it.
But in the end, Zhang was handed over under the pressure of Queen Mother Mingde and asked not to kill Zhang.
Although Zhang was initially sentenced to exile, the ministers ignored Wang Yu's request and executed Zhang in exile in the first month of the following year.
The majestic King of Goryeo could not even protect his wet nurse. This shows how much power Wang Yu, the King of Goryeo, had under the mercy of his ministers.
That's why Wang Yu sent an envoy from Goryeo to the Ming Dynasty, hoping to be officially canonized by His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and then use the power of the suzerain state of the Ming Dynasty to suppress the powerful officials in Goryeo who were evading him.
Unexpectedly, the envoy he sent did indeed bring back the decree from His Majesty the Ming Emperor, but it turned out that the decree was not to ennoble him as the King of Korea.
Instead, they angrily criticized him for his previous two-sided diplomacy, paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty, but secretly restoring the vassal relationship with the Yuan Dynasty (Northern Yuan Dynasty). They were both snakes and rats, and regarded the majesty of the Ming Empire as nothing.
However, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was kind and gave him another chance to change his ways, that is, he would lead the people of Korea to join the Ming Dynasty, and he would have the honor to become the Marquis of Korea in the Ming Dynasty.
If you don't want to, tomorrow the soldiers will arrive and crush Goryeo as punishment!
After hearing the question from Goryeo King Wang You, the messenger from Yinming looked at him with disdain and said:
"Literally!"
"Choose, or volunteer to become the Marquis of Goryeo of the Ming Dynasty."
"Either you wait until tomorrow's soldiers arrive and become a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty."
Hearing what the Ming envoy said, Qing Fuxing, Li Renren, Cui Ying and other Goryeo officials in the palace couldn't help but said angrily:
"Da Ming, don't bully others too much!"
"We, Goryeo, are not easy to bully. We also have hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers!"
"If we really want to fight, we, like Korea, will not be afraid of you, like Ming Dynasty!"
"The Heavenly Angel has insulted us so much. Aren't you afraid that we won't be able to get out of this hall?"
Following the words of the powerful officials of Goryeo, the guards in the palace drew their swords out of their scabbards without receiving orders from Goryeo King Wang You.
Seeing this scene, Goryeo King Wang You's face darkened even more, but he couldn't say anything.
After all, he was just a puppet. The real power in Goryeo was not him, but the powerful officials present.
Seeing the tense performance of the Korean monarchs and ministers, the Ming envoy stood up slowly and said calmly:
"It seems you have made your choice."
"Then let's start a war according to your wishes!"
"If you can defeat Ming Dynasty's million-strong army, then you will naturally be qualified to bargain with Ming Dynasty!"
"If you can't defeat the Ming Dynasty's million-strong army, then naturally let's stop talking!"
"Now, I am going to walk out from here. If you are brave, then kill me in the palace!"
"Although I die today, everyone in Korea will be buried with me in the future!"
"I hope that in the future, you will be able to withstand the execution of all the nine tribes for killing me and the Lingchi execution of Lord Yu Miao Li!"
After saying that, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty looked at the presence of the Goryeo monarchs and ministers as if they were nothing, and walked step by step towards the outside of the palace.
A group of guards with their swords unsheathed surrounded the Ming envoy, but they did not dare to take action.
Obviously there is only one person on the other side, but the momentum shown is like a thousand troops. It feels that the people who are really surrounded are not the other side, but these people.
Even the other party would lean forward with great interest from time to time, as if they were deliberately hitting their knife edge.
Faced with such a move, they could only retreat and retreat.
Then they frequently turned to look at their monarchs and ministers, hoping that their monarchs and ministers would order them to hack to death the unruly envoy of the Ming Dynasty in front of them.
However, no matter whether it was Goryeo King Wang You, Qing Fuxing, Li Renren, Cui Ying and other Goryeo powerful officials, their faces turned dark when they saw this, but no one dared to actually speak and order the Ming envoy to be hacked to death.
In other words, the King of Goryeo Wang You hoped that Qing Fuxing, Li Renren, Cui Ying and other powerful Goryeo ministers who had always ignored him could once again surpass him and order the Ming envoy to be hacked to death in front of him.
............
In this way, if the Ming Dynasty pursues the case, Qingha, Renren, Cuiying and other powerful officials of Goryeo will not escape death.
At that time, he would bow his head to Daming and cry.
It means that all past crimes, whether it was conducting two-sided diplomacy or killing the Ming envoys, were the fault of Qing Fuxing, Li Renren, Cui Ying and other powerful officials of Goryeo, and had nothing to do with him, the king of Goryeo.
I think that when the Ming Dynasty killed Qing Fuxing, Li Renren, Cui Ying and others, they would no longer care about him.
In the end, all the sins were shouldered by Qing Fuxing, Li Renren, Cui Ying and others, and he could truly take control of the power and become a veritable king of Goryeo.
Similarly, "only" Li Shiji, Cui Rong and other Goryeo ministers also hoped that the Goryeo Kingdom, Shengli, would order the Ming Dynasty to be beheaded on the spot.
In this way, if the resistance against the Ming Dynasty's army fails in the future, then all the blame will be placed on Wang Yu, the King of Goryeo.
Then if they keep their heads down and admit their mistakes, Ming Dynasty will stop arguing with them.
When the time came, they even personally tied up Wang Yu, the King of Goryeo, and sent him to the Ming Dynasty for disposal.
Maybe, it is very possible that Ming Dynasty will give them some rewards because they see them so wise.
So now, Wang Yu, the king of Goryeo, frequently looked at Qing Fuxing, Li Renren, Cui Ying and other Goryeo officials to order the execution of the Ming envoys.
Qing Fuxing, Li Renren, Cui Ying and other Goryeo officials also frequently looked at Wang Yu, the Goryeo king, to order the execution of the Ming envoys.
But the eyes of both parties were almost sore, but still no one dared to speak.
After all, the crime of ordering the execution of the Ming envoy is too serious. Regardless of whether the resistance to the Ming Dynasty's army succeeds or fails, the person who finally ordered the execution of the Ming envoy and the family behind him must be handed over and put to rest. Ming's anger.
And the envoy of the Ming Dynasty walked out of the main hall in front of all the kings and ministers of Goryeo.
It wasn't until he walked some distance away and saw that there were no Korean soldiers following him that the Ming envoy felt the cold sweat on his forehead.
Just now, he was completely gambling with his life, betting that the kings and ministers of Goryeo would not dare to attack him.
Fortunately, he made the right bet, otherwise he might not be able to leave the hall.
Of course, if he really cannot get out of that hall, then he will definitely become famous in history, and the descendants of his family will definitely be taken care of by His Majesty.
So if you really want to die, it won't be a loss.
However, it is certainly better to be alive.
The top priority now is to rush back to the Ming Dynasty and tell His Majesty the choice of the Goryeo monarchs and ministers.
Damn it, this small country actually dares to threaten him. When he comes back, he will definitely ask His Majesty for orders to follow the army, and when the time comes, he will kill these disrespectful bastards like Goryeo.
