Chapter 426 What should we do for the present?

Xia Yuan's shout was like thunder on the ground. The people present were unprepared and were frightened to death.

The next thing I received was the content of this sentence.

Then he was stunned.

Although Li Long has been reduced to a prisoner and is tied with his hands and knees at the gate of the palace according to the rules, Li Long's throne has not yet been abolished, so he is still the king of North Korea.

Is there anything wrong with calling myself Xiao Wang?

Generally speaking, there was nothing wrong, but Xia Yuan was looking for trouble. After questioning, he saluted Zhu Houzhao and said with a serious face: "Your Highness, North Korea thinks it is our Ming Dynasty vassal state, but in fact it is not a vassal state.

"

"?"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned and blurted out: "What is it if it's not a vassal state?"

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. Please tell me carefully: The seal and ribbon of the king of Korea was given by me, Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. The country name of Korea was also given by me, the Ming Dynasty. I, the Ming Dynasty, treat Korea with the kindness of my parents.

It is the command of the eldest ruler to visit his subordinates.

North Korea has also always followed the etiquette of father and son, the etiquette of monarch and ministers towards our Ming Dynasty, and the dress and etiquette of the country are all the same as our Ming Dynasty. Even the reign name is in accordance with the reign name of our Ming Dynasty.

Why is this a vassal state? Has Your Highness ever seen any vassal state like this?"

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, and it seemed that there really was no such thing. The neighboring vassal states were vassals in name only, but he had never heard of anyone using the title of Da Ming, so he shook his head.

"Therefore, I said that Korea considers itself a vassal state, but it is not a vassal state. And in Korea during the Ming Dynasty, we were not affiliated with a vassal state, but were governed by a grant like a vassal state in the Han Dynasty.

If he were the leader of a neighboring vassal country, it would be appropriate to call himself the Little King in front of His Highness, but for the leader of North Korea, it is definitely not allowed! This is a son disobeying his father, and a minister deceiving the emperor!"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a while. To be honest, Xia Yuan said a lot impassionedly, but he understood it. He seemed to want to criticize Li Long's behavior of calling himself Xiao Wang just now by demonstrating the relationship between Ming Dynasty and North Korea.

Convict Li Long?

The leader of North Korea is already on his knees, so does this make sense?

It's meaningful, very meaningful. Xia Yuan thinks it's very meaningful. What he has to do now is to insert a sign first.

The sign reads: The Ming Dynasty and Korea were not suzerains and vassal states, but were governed by gifts.

What is governance by gift? It means that the land of North Korea is actually the direct territory of the Ming Dynasty. It was just given to North Korea to help govern it. On the level of etiquette and law, it is just like when Liu Bang divided the kings when the Han Dynasty was first established.

.

As for why North Korea was given to North Korea, it was not because North Korea had a big face, but because North Korea was the son of Ming Dynasty.

And his reason is very good. The royal seal of Korea was given by the Ming Dynasty. What does the royal seal represent? It represents the right to rule.

The country name of North Korea was given by the Ming Dynasty, right? What the country name is, it is equivalent to a name. Who gives a person's name, parents, it is the same at the national level.

Moreover, North Korea’s clothing, etiquette, rules and regulations, including the reign name, are all based on those of the Ming Dynasty. Doesn’t this explain the problem?

From all these factors, it can be said that Chosun is the biological son of the Ming Dynasty who is not related by blood, and it would not be too much to change his surname.

The land of North Korea has also been the legal territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times.

As long as this is explained clearly and the sign is inserted, the rest of the story will be easy to unfold.

After a long while, Zhu Houzhao nodded in understanding, "Really?"

"Exactly, so North Korea's leader Li Long calls himself Xiao Wang today, and his treacherous intentions are obvious and exposed without a doubt!"

Hearing this, Li Long's heart trembled. His Chinese level was very limited and he really didn't understand the large paragraph that Xia Yuan said just now. However, he really understood this sentence at this time.

I understand.

He really hated the Ming Dynasty, hated the power of the Ming Dynasty, and hated that as a member of the Korean royal family, he had to learn Chinese and the Four Books and Five Classics of the Han people since he was a child.

But he was also well aware of the power of the Ming Dynasty. He had listened to people around him, including his father, talk about the power of the Ming Dynasty since he was a child.

Daming was an incomparably powerful behemoth. This was his concept of Daming that he had formed since he was a child.

Therefore, he hated the Ming Dynasty and was extremely afraid of the Ming Dynasty.

When the Ming Dynasty's army appeared in the capital of North Korea and captured the capital in just a few hours, this was the first time he faced the power of the Ming Dynasty. The hatred in his heart was long gone, replaced by fear.

Now he just wants to survive.

But I didn’t expect that a self-identification was used incorrectly.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao asked in confusion: "But hasn't Li Long already rebelled?"

"It's true that he rebelled, but His Highness thinks, why did Li Long rebel? Why did such things happen in North Korea?"

"."

Zhu Houzhao was asked, why did Li Long rebel? How could he know?

Xia Yuan didn't look at him anymore, but faced the North Korean ministers. Basically all the civil and military ministers of North Korea were here. Some of them were guilty people who helped the tyranny and collaborated with Li Long and his ministers. Some of them were from North Korea.

People with knowledge, let’s call them people with knowledge.

After all, he was suppressed and became the leader of the party.

He scanned the faces one by one and said slowly: "Do you agree with what I just said?"

These ministers all understood Chinese, and they all looked at each other in confusion when they heard the words. Finally, a minister wearing a scarlet official robe stood up and saluted Xia Yuan, "I wonder what the envoy asked about?"

"This is about our Ming Dynasty and Korea not being vassals, but being governed by gifts. Do you still agree?"

"this"

This minister was hesitant. His name was Pu Yuanzong. He was the central government official in North Korea and was in charge of cashier memorials. He was very familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism and was also proficient in Chinese. Did anyone else listen to what Xia Yuan said?

Yes, he didn't know clearly, but he understood.

Generally speaking, it is correct and reasonable, but in fact, North Korea has its own internal affairs. It follows the clothes, rituals and music of the Ming Dynasty, and adopts the era name of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, North Korea itself has nothing, but more

This is because North Korea pursues etiquette that treats small things as big things.

This so-called etiquette comes from Mencius. Those who do big things but small things are happy with heaven. Those who do big things with small things are those who fear heaven. Those who are happy with heaven protect the world, and those who fear heaven protect their country.

It translates to a sentence: We must fear the kingdom as we fear the majesty of heaven, only in this way can we gain stability.

For more than a hundred years, North Korea has been following this sentence and pursuing it, serving the Ming Dynasty like its ancestors. Everything is done in accordance with the Ming Dynasty. In this way, it shows its obedience and surrender.

Regarding these, he opened his mouth to explain or refute, but he knew that he was not allowed to explain or refute. After hesitating for a while, he bowed and said: "I agree with what the Lord said."

Xia Yuan hummed, his face still tense, and he went to look at the other North Korean ministers, "He agrees, do you agree?"

Everyone follows the crowd. When they see someone taking the lead, the others will bow and salute and "agree."

"Okay." Xia Yuan called out, and said slowly: "Since the Ming Dynasty and North Korea are governed by gifts, this land was given to North Korea, but you, North Korea, ignored my instructions from the Ming Dynasty and established Li Long and other incompetent people.

The King of Dao allowed him to brutally harm the people, insult the holy sect, and do all kinds of things that are shocking and outrageous!

This is all caused by the improper selection and establishment of the king in North Korea. What do you think we should do for the present?"
