1655, the eleventh year of Longwu.

The coup launched by the local North Korean ministers led by Kim Jong-won ended in failure.

King Lee Seok was in the palace and burned Kim Jong-won to death after the failed coup. A large number of Korean ministers who participated in the rebellion were arrested by the Wu Yue army.

Lead the government residence.

Zhao Ming was wearing a scorched prince costume and a winged crown. He sat upright behind the table and looked at Cui Chengxiu who was kneeling in front of him.

Originally, Zhao Ming didn't want to leave any flaws and planned to kill Choi Chengxiu together so that no one could learn that Kim Jong-won's rebellion and Li Yu's death were actually his design.

Zhao Ming is leaving him now because he considers that there are still many things that need to be done by Choi Chengxiu, a North Korean.

In other words, Cui Chengxiu is of great value to Zhao Ming.

At this time, Zhao Ming took a sip of tea and said casually: "The rebellion led by Kim Jong-won was quelled, but North Korea's King Lee Soh died tragically in the fire. Now that North Korea has no master, do you think who can replace Lee Soh and become the King of Joseon in the Korean royal family?"

Choi Chengxiu shook her head quickly and kowtowed solemnly, "Your Highness, I think the King of Korea is that there is no need for him to exist, and Your Highness is the King of Korea!"

Zhao Ming couldn't help but secretly praised him, but his face said: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate! Will the people of the Three Koreans misunderstand the Lone King, thinking that Lone King is planning to annex Korea!"

Choi Chengxiu raised her head and said righteously: "The people of the Three Koreans are in the Celestial Kingdom, and the people of North Korea are too impressed by China. Now, North Korea has the opportunity to become a part of China, which is a great joy. The people of the Three Koreans and ministers will be grateful for your highness for your acceptance. How can you blame Your Highness?"

Zhao Ming smiled on his face, feeling a little glad that he did not kill Choi Chengxiu, "I'm afraid, not all North Koreans think so!"

Cui Chengxiu said emotionally: "If Your Highness accepts North Korea, the people of the Three Koreans and ministers can get rid of the shameful title of Koreans. From now on, I will be a Chinese person. What an honor to be a member of this time. If someone does not know how grateful and is so heartless, he will not be worthy of living in the world!"

Zhao Ming was overjoyed when he heard the word, and stood up, "Cui Aiqing, get up and follow the orphan king to discuss matters!"

Lead the government residence and the government hall.

The civil and military ministers in the Korean King gathered together to discuss the aftermath.

After the rebellion, North Korea urgently needed to restore order, and after the death of North Korea's King Lee So-so, North Korea also needed a new king to calm people's hearts.

At this time, many North Korean officials were talking in the lobby. Suddenly, a guard in the inner hall whispered: "Your Highness is here!"

The lobby suddenly became quiet, and more than a dozen sword-bearing guards surrounded Zhao Ming and walked out.

Everyone immediately stood up to welcome Zhao Ming into the hall and bowed, "Welcome to Your Highness!"

Many Korean ministers in the hall knew very well that the King of Korea is dead now, and Zhao Ming is the veritable supreme controller of North Korea. Zhao Ming wants to be the leader of North Korea, but it is only a matter of one sentence.

However, there are still some people who cannot see the situation clearly, and are preparing to beg Zhao Ming to establish a new King of Korea.

Zhao Ming sat down on the throne, and the armored soldier in armor stood on both sides with his knife, full of murderous aura and was powerful without anger. Cui Chengxiu, who followed him, stood in the hall.

"Everyone is free from gifts!" Zhao Ming waved his hand with a smile, his face gentle, making people feel as if they were bathed in spring breeze.

"Thank you Your Highness!" The Koreans in the hall kowtowed and thanked him, then stood on both sides.

At this time, Zhao Ming and others calmed down in the lobby, and then said in a deep voice: "Today we are summoning everyone to discuss the aftermath. You are all ministers from North Korea. If you have any ideas, you can speak freely."

Although Zhao Ming said that, the coup just passed, who really spoke freely? It would be easy to say what Zhao Ming said. If it was not up to the same way, it would be hard to say.

Therefore, as soon as this was said, the usual enthusiastic speech did not appear, and most of the people in the hall did not say a word.

At this time, Choi Chengxiu gave a speech: "Your Highness, North Korea is now without a master, and your highness is wise and powerful, and he is a wise ruler in the world. It is better to lead the lord of North Korea and become the lord of ministers. From then on, North Korea can be a province in China, and Wang Jing will be renamed Seoul and the capital of North Korea."

Generally speaking, the first speech is often to set the tone for the discussion. Moreover, Choi Chengxiu came out behind Zhao Ming, and anyone with discerning eyes understands Zhao Ming's meaning.

However, there were some people in the hall who were ignorant.

This coup involved many two classes of nobles, and many of them in the church had disciples, relatives and friends who were imprisoned.

As one of the initiators, Cui Chengxiu was disgusted by everyone. In addition, everyone felt ashamed of his betrayal of Li Yu and opening the city gate, so he hated this person even more.

At this time, someone heard Choi Chengxiu's words, meaning that he actually asked Zhao Ming to abolish the Kingdom of Korea, annex Korea, and turn the country into a province, and he was furious.

"Your Highness is absolutely impossible. The former king has his descendants. He should choose one of his descendants and be appointed King of Korea." The judge of Hu Cao, Zhao Jimin, came out to report.

He took the lead, and more than a dozen unwitting Korean ministers actually jumped out and agreed with his opinion.

Zhao Ming was displeased. He originally thought that most of the people who opposed him had already jumped out during the coup. Now it seems that there are still some potential opponents who have not been exposed.

Zhao Ming sat upright, his face still changed, but instead said gently: "Does other people have the same opinion?"

Zhao Ming's attitude made no one hesitate, thinking that Zhao Ming had no intention of abolishing the Kingdom of Korea, and that it was all the treacherous minister Choi Chengxiu who was responsible for the blame.

"Your Highness, North Korea is now in a turmoil, so it is better to choose a royal family and make it king, and to calm the people's hearts."

Several more people came out to express their opinions one by one, and Zhao Ming wrote down the names of these people, preparing to settle the accounts after the autumn.

After all, they are all ministers of North Korea. If the North Korean state is gone and becomes a province, their status will also decline. From then on, they will be subject to the constraints of the Wu Yue government. How can they be free now?

Furthermore, the two groups of ministers have had some feelings for North Korea after hundreds of years of salary from the Korean royal family.

Choi Chengxiu said angrily: "King of Joseon Lee Seok, you are deliberately plotting to murder Your Highness. You must make his descendants the King of Joseon. I think you are all Lee Seok's accomplices!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone in the hall was shocked. Choi Chengxiu's hat was put off and she would have to take the life of the person who spoke just now.

For a time, ministers who supported the establishment of another King of Joseon immediately siege Choi Chengxiu, and Choi Chengxiu's words also awakened some people. In order to clear their relationship, they stood up to support Choi Chengxiu.

The hall talked about the formation of good things, and there were a considerable number of people who agreed and opposed it.

In his heart, Zhao Ming had already secretly remembered the Korean civil and military officials who had different positions, and then waved his hand and said, "Okay, since everyone is in stalemate, then I will deal with it with it. The King of Korea will not be established for the time being. The orphan will be supervised by the state affairs of North Korea. After the remnants of the rebels are investigated, we will discuss the matters of North Korea!"

After saying that, Zhao Ming got up and left.

The next day, Zhao Ming ordered Choi Chengxiu to be appointed as the North Korean leader in politics, responsible for tracing Kim Jong-won's rebellion, and began a large-scale cleaning of the two North Korean squads.

Zhao Ming was trying to expand this time, and it would inevitably involve a lot of people, causing resentment from the Korean people. Therefore, Zhao Ming and Wu Yue people could not do it, but the Koreans could only do it themselves.
