Some are happy and some are sad.

While the soldiers and civilians of Jinan were immersed in the joy of a collective wedding, in Shenyang City in Liaodong, which was the so-called "Shengjing" of the Qing Dynasty, white flags were flying all over the city, and the whole city was filled with cries and cries. The cries of covering the ground echoed in every corner of the city, and even alarmed the "Shenyang Pavilion" in the city.

The so-called "Shenyang Pavilion" is actually the "Proton Pavilion". Three years ago, Huang Taiji led an army of 100,000 to attack North Korea. North Korea was defeated, and the king Li Zhu was forced to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The Manchu Qing Dynasty became the suzerainty. According to both sides, According to the covenant, the crown prince of Joseon and others should live in Shengjing as hostages.

In order to welcome the arrival of protons, the Manchu Qing Dynasty prepared a total of four pavilions. Among them, the Shenyang pavilion was for the residence of the prince, the king and his assistants, the proton pavilion was for the children of the three gongs and six ministers, and the east pavilion and the west pavilion were used to receive Korean envoys. .Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty renamed Shenyang Shengjing a few years ago, North Korea still called it Shenyang. Therefore, the prince's proton pavilion in Shengjing was called "Shenyang Pavilion" by the North Koreans.

In order to demonstrate the martial arts of "our Tatars", Huang Taiji specially built the "Shenyang Pavilion" near Desheng Gate to show off to visitors. But now, when Dorgon led his troops back from the pass, he lost nearly 20,000 troops. However, the whole city of Shenyang was immediately immersed in grief. White flags were erected in every house and mourning halls were set up in every household.

Listening to the cries coming from outside the hall, Li Meng, who was the hostage, seemed a little confused. Before he could speak, someone over there heard someone running and shouting excitedly.

"Dixia (1), Dixia, great joy, great joy."

He ran into the room excitedly. After seeing the ceremony, Shen Deyuan said excitedly,

"Your Majesty, I have just learned that this time the barbarians invaded the Celestial Empire and inflicted heavy losses on the Heavenly Celestial Army, with no less than 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers lost. Even Dorobele Yuetuo was killed by the Celestial Heavenly Army..."

"Ah, Dorobele is actually dead!"

After hearing this, the crown prince Li Bo, instead of showing joy on his face, sighed.

"I never thought that after last year's autumn hunting, my farewell to Dorobell would be like an eternity..."

When he mentioned Dorobele Yue Tuo, Li Bo's expression was full of regret. When Shen Deyuan saw this, he said.

"Your Excellency, Bing Zi's random Yue Tuo massacred more than ten thousand of our Koreans. Now that we are killed by the heavenly soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom, it is really gratifying and congratulatory. Why is it such a pity for me to be a barbarian chieftain?"

The words of the prime minister made Li Ming sigh.

"You and I, Prime Minister, are both prisoners of the Qing Dynasty. We are so lucky. If the Qing Dynasty finds out, I'm afraid the emperor will be unhappy."

Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty prohibited the crown prince of Joseon from having personal relationships with relatives of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji invited the crown prince and his brother Fenglin Dajun to participate in activities such as test firing, hunting, and military parades every year, and asked the crown prince's feelings. In this process, Li Ming's heart He had long been impressed by the military power of the Qing Dynasty. Two years ago, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty led his son and Lord Fenglin to conquer the Ming Dynasty twice respectively. Li Ming, who had witnessed everything with his own eyes, saw the majestic military appearance of the Qing army. Strengthen North Korea's will to surrender. It is for this reason that I feel sorry for Yue Tuo's death.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is just the leader of the Hulu chieftains. Have you forgotten the great righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period and the kindness of the Heavenly Dynasty in rebuilding Korea?"

As the crown prince's minister, Shen Deyuan was responsible for the liaison between the Shenyang Palace and the Qing Dynasty, but he had always adhered to his true intentions. How could he see the prince abandoning the righteousness and disregard it and immediately reprimand the prince sternly.

"Zaichen, since our country has surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, we should abide by the principles of the monarchs and ministers. As for the Ming Dynasty, the decline of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable, so why should the Prime Minister be so stubborn?"

Li Bo's answer was straightforward and seemed fair.

In the history of another world, Li Gu served as a hostage in the Manchu Qing Dynasty for eight years, and his life was actually pretty good. He even made friends with Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, just as Huang Taiji said back then.

As he hoped, after seeing the "strength" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he abandoned the Spring and Autumn period and became a "pro-Qing faction".

However, Li Bo's plans were broken after all.

He thought that he was a man of foresight and knowledge of current affairs, but he did not expect that the subjects of North Korea still had strong feelings for the Ming Dynasty. The news of the demise of the Ming Dynasty made the king and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty cry as if their parents were dead.

I went to the countryside and cried for a day, and when I returned to the palace, I was still sobbing.

Seeing the Crown Prince Li Bo entering the capital so intimately with the Manchu officials, chatting and laughing, and forcing everyone to come to greet them, many Koreans began to grit their teeth and resent. As a result, the Crown Prince died inexplicably two months after returning to China. Some people thought it was due to illness, but

Some people think that he was poisoned to death. There are different opinions on the mastermind of the poisoning, ranging from an extreme anti-Qing palace maid to a hidden pro-Qing conspirator. Dorgon was furious when he heard about this.

, but given the unanimous call of "death from illness" in North Korea, one can only give up with indignation.

But one thing is certain - the pro-Qing faction has no place in North Korea, even if it is the crown prince or the king.

The prince's answer made Shen Deyuan say angrily.

"Did the prince really forget the sages' books he had read? Wouldn't such a thing send chills to the whole country?"

"Zaichen, I just said it casually. After all, people are under the roof now and have to bow their heads."

Seeing that Shen Deyuan's attitude was so fierce, Li Bo stopped insisting, but in his heart he felt that people like Shen Deyuan were extremely pedantic. Couldn't they see how powerful the Qing Dynasty's military was?

Is it powerful? Can't you see the reality that the Ming Dynasty has declined?

If it were in the past, Li Fu would never have had such an idea, but after witnessing the "power" of the Qing army in Nanhan Mountain City, especially after witnessing the brutality of the Qing army, the twenty-five-year-old Li Fu was completely frightened.

, and when he followed Huang Taiji to conquer the Ming Dynasty last year, he also witnessed the decline of the Ming Dynasty. The image of the once tall Celestial Dynasty collapsed in his heart. As a weak person and a hostage, Li Bo almost subconsciously made the best choice for himself.

, that is, choosing to rely on the strong, and in his opinion, this strong person is the Qing Dynasty. As for the Ming Kingdom... in his eyes, his luck has long been gone.

Thinking like this in his heart, because he was under house arrest in the "Shenyang Pavilion", Li Bo could only walk to the door and listen to the crying outside the door. Different from the eunuchs and maids around him who were all happy, Li Bo

There was some worry in his expression.

"This time the Qing army marched thousands of miles into the Celestial Empire and must have captured numerous items. It must be able to make up for the loss of troops and generals!"
