Chapter 427 I don’t think it’s right either

When these words came out, everyone present fell silent. The ministers of North Korea did not know how to respond, but the people of Ming Dynasty held their breath.

At this time, even the dullest person can hear that Xia Yuan has a big plan.

Could it be that he wanted to annex North Korea?

This thought suddenly appeared in some people's minds.

But is this possible?

Although the Ming Dynasty has now invaded Seoul, the royal capital of Korea, it is under the guise of attacking the unjust tyrant and bringing order to the chaos.

Such a banner was supported by countless nobles in North Korea, so they did not encounter any decent resistance along the way. It was more like a march than a conquest. They came to Seoul without any blood along the way, and only in Seoul did the siege take place.

war.

But if North Korea is annexed, I am afraid that all parts of North Korea will immediately raise counter-flags.

What's more, is it too delusional to attempt to annex a country with just a few words?

Zhu Houzhao opened his eyes wide and looked at Xia Yuan. He moved his lips and wanted to speak, but seemed to be worried about something and swallowed it back.

After a long silence, Pu Yuanzong said: "My lord, I think this is the plan for now. I should depose the cruel king and choose a virtuous king to succeed him."

There was a bit more toughness in his tone, less respect, and the rest was filled with sadness and anger. Naturally, he had a rough idea of ​​what this young minister meant.

He has studied Chinese and Chinese culture for most of his life. Like many nobles in North Korea, he has longed for and admired the country of Ming Dynasty.

But it definitely doesn’t mean that Ming Dynasty can annex North Korea, at least he doesn’t want to.

"It is natural to abolish a cruel king. People like this." Xia Yuan glanced at Li Long who was kneeling on the ground and sneered: "How can a person like this be qualified to govern a country? How can he be qualified to command the emperor of tomorrow?"

The law governs the people on his behalf?"

Having said this, he withdrew his gaze and stared at Pu Yuanzong, "But who are you planning to establish as the so-called virtuous king you mentioned?"

"The King of Jincheng, Li Yi, is the second son of the late king. He has admired the culture of Shangbang since he was a child, so he should succeed to the throne."

The sentence "the second son of the late king" emphasized the lineage of etiquette and law, and the sentence "I have admired the culture of Shangbang since childhood" made it even more clear. However, Xia Yuan directly asked: "Is he virtuous?"

"The great king of Jincheng admires the culture of the state, and he is a wise man among all the kings."

"Even if you are virtuous now, will you always be virtuous in the future?"

Before Pu Yuanzong could answer, Xia Yuan continued to ask: "What if one day he becomes unworthy?

What if one day the great king you mentioned, Li Yi, becomes like Li Long and does such cruel and unscrupulous things to humiliate the holy sect?"

"Even if he is always virtuous, what about his descendants? Can his descendants be called virtuous?"

Question after question was asked, and each time it became more difficult to answer, because these words were clearly unreasonable and vexatious.

Who can guarantee that a person will continue to be good? People will always change.

Not to mention the descendants.

The prince of Jincheng is only fourteen years old. Where did his descendants come from? Who can ensure that his descendants will be wise people.

If kings from generation to generation are wise people, and everyone's descendants are wise people, then why are there so many dynasty changes?

There will always be unworthy descendants. This is a situation that no one can avoid, and everyone knows it. With this question, isn't this unreasonable?

Seeing that the North Korean minister couldn't answer, Xia Yuan said again: "It's hard to guarantee, right? How about deposing the throne of North Korea from then on, taking the land of North Korea back to the Ming Dynasty, and letting the Ming Dynasty govern it on its own?"

His tone was very calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant, but everyone present suddenly changed their minds. Did they finally see him?

All the officials in North Korea instantly became uproar. Although they had vaguely guessed that the Ming Dynasty official might have this idea, guessing it was one thing, but exposing it was another thing.

Each one spoke Korean and communicated something very fast.

Xia Yuan didn't understand, and he didn't care. He just stared at these people. At this time, seeing the situation develop to a certain point, Zhang Mao couldn't wait any longer. He came over and tugged on his sleeves, motioning for him to go aside and talk.

To be honest, even he, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, felt that it was a bit too much. Although he had conquered the capital of North Korea, it would not have reached this level. It would be fanciful to think of annexing North Korea through words.

After all, it has been passed down for more than a hundred years, how can it be so easy?

Besides, Korea has always been docile and well-behaved, and is a model among all the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.

Oh, according to what this guy just explained, legally speaking, Korea is no longer a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but a vassal state.

But that won’t work either.

Xia Yuan's sleeves were pulled, but he did not move. In front of him, Pu Yuanzong's face turned green and white, and he suddenly fell to his knees, facing the direction of Zhu Houzhao, and knocked his head heavily on the ground, shouting:

"Your Highness, Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, although there is an unscrupulous tyrant in our country now, this matter is the fault of our country in choosing and establishing a king, and it is also caused by the ignorance of the late king! However, I, Korea, have served our superior state conscientiously over the years and have not dared to slack off in the slightest.

But now the superior state wants to depose me as the king of Korea and annex my Korean land. Is this what the superior state did? I beg your highness, the prince, to give me an answer!"

He shouted these words loudly, and several North Korean officials knelt down one after another, and then more people also knelt down.

"." Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to reply. In his heart, it didn't matter whether he annexed North Korea or not.

But wanting to annex just by relying on words made him feel very unreliable.

In his opinion, if you want to annex a country and expand its territory, you should fight with swords and guns, lead an army to conquer, fight, and defeat it bit by bit. This is the safest and most reliable way.

Way.

Of course, it would be safer if he could lead troops to fight.

And if you rely on words like this to seize important territory, even if you want to surrender, it will not be stable at all.

It's just that his relationship with Xia Yuan is that of a teacher and a friend. Xia Yuan has said so, and it's not easy for him to break up the relationship. For a moment, I really don't know what to say.

Just when he was hesitating, Xia Yuan spoke, "You just talk, why are you shouting so loudly?"

"Resigning to the official position is just a temporary loss of love."

"A momentary loss of love?"

These four words made Xia Yuan startled for a moment, and a thought crossed his mind. What this stickman wanted to say was a momentary loss of composure, right?

But in an instant, he put this idea aside. Now was not the time to worry about the accuracy of the other party's words. He stared at Pu Yuanzong and asked: "Why, do you think my proposal is inappropriate?"

Pu Yuanzong said sonorously and forcefully: "Your Excellency, please forgive me for being bold. I think it is extremely inappropriate."

Xia Yuan hummed and nodded: "You think it's inappropriate, but I also think it's inappropriate. It's very inappropriate."

Hearing this, everyone present looked at him. If you think it's inappropriate, what do you mean by bringing it up?

When you see something you can't do, do you change your tune temporarily?
