"Yes, yes, Lord Marquis, please don't blame me." The man turned around quickly, kept bending towards Han Du, and begged for mercy with a smile, "The general didn't keep the door open, so please spare my life, Lord Marquis."
Han Du didn't think about what to do with him, so he let him go. He turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone, please listen clearly to me. We are attacking under the emperor's orders. We are not allowed to touch any plant or tree in the palace."
"yes"
After receiving the reply from the soldiers, Han Du nodded with satisfaction.
When Han Du turned around and looked at the palace door, the heavy palace door slowly opened with a constant creaking sound.
The palace door opened wide, and countless people behind the door knelt on the ground.
The navy of the Ming Dynasty filed in and controlled everyone.
Han Du and Tang Ding then passed through the palace gate and walked into the Goryeo Palace.
Xin Yu was still dressed in red, sitting in the main hall where he liked to have fun the most. But now he was the only one left in the main hall, and the maids who were hanging around him a quarter of an hour ago had disappeared completely. There was no more singing and music around him.
The only sound was the gentle breeze, which blew up the surrounding curtains and made a dull folding sound. .??.
A moment ago it was a place of sensuality and pleasure, but now the prosperity has disappeared, leaving only endless desolation.
Seeing Han Du and Tang Ding walk in with the support of a group of soldiers, Xin Yu's heart felt even more desolate than this hall.
"Who are you?" Xin You sat cross-legged on the ground, hunched over, with his hands on his knees, trying hard to maintain the last dignity of the King of Korea.
Han Du smiled slightly, bowed and said with a smile: "We are Han Du, the Marquis of Zhenhai in the Ming Dynasty, and this is Tang Ding, the second son of Duke Xin."
Han Du introduced himself to his family and introduced Tang Ding.
Xin Yu was very unfamiliar with the Marquis of Zhenhai, but he had heard of Duke Tang He.
"Does your father believe in Tang He?" Xin Yu asked Tang Ding.
"Exactly." Tang Ding also smiled and responded to Xin Yu politely.
"Is your father still alive?" Tang Ding's face turned ugly as soon as Xin You spoke. Maybe he knew that he was doomed, and he never thought about surrendering like Han Du. Or maybe, he just kept talking.
So direct.
When greeting people, how can you just come up to them and ask them if they are still alive?
What? If you are still alive, do you still want to hit me?
Tang Ding suddenly became angry and said in a cold voice: "My father can eat and sleep, and he is very strong. I don't need to bother the king to care about him."
Perhaps knowing that everything was in vain, Xin You didn't care about Tang Ding's rudeness. He turned to look at Han Du and asked: "Goryeo has always been very respectful to the Ming Dynasty, why did you lead an army to attack the capital? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty
Aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed by the world? You must know that the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty is more than one Goryeo. Today you can attack the palace, who can guarantee that you will not attack other vassal states tomorrow? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty wants to be an enemy of the world and annihilate itself?
The world?"
"Does the king really not know why I came here?" Han Du asked with a smile, looking at Xin Yu with emotion.
Without waiting for his answer, Han Du knew that Xin Yu would definitely refute it vigorously.
So, Han Du simply said it directly, "In the certificate of credence, the king directly wants to establish the Shuangcheng Administrative Office in Tieling. The king is invading the territory of the Ming Dynasty."
Xin Yu took a deep breath, the matter of credentials, blank paper
He couldn't refute the black words. However, he still argued: "The states north of Tieling were the territory that the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty seized from our country, Goryeo. Since it is a territorial dispute, the Ming Dynasty can just send envoys to discuss it properly. Why is it necessary to mobilize troops like this?"
The implication is that the Ming Dynasty used the strong to bully the weak and used power to bully others.
Han Du watched Xin Yu's performance with a smile, which made Xin Yu's heart go cold.
"The Ming Dynasty sent envoys, but didn't the king kill twenty-four people and imprison five others?"
"My King" Xin You was immediately blocked and speechless. He even secretly regretted that he had been too impulsive and should not have attacked the Ming envoy.
Han Du ignored Xin Yu's thoughts and continued: "Besides, isn't the king already preparing to send troops to capture Liaodong? Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists, so why should the king not dare to admit it frankly?"
"When will I capture Liaodong? Don't listen to the slander." Can Xin Yu admit it? At this point, of course he dare not admit it.
But how can such a thing be fooled by him just by insisting that he refuses to admit it?
Han Du clapped his hands, and a Goryeo official was brought up from behind, it was Cui Ying.
Han Du pointed at Cui Ying with a smile and said to Xin You: "But Mr. Cui said that he and the king have discussed how to capture Liaodong many times. How about the king confronting him?"
Cui Ying looked at Xin You with a flattering expression. He would do anything to survive, but he never expected that Han Du would let someone come to confront the king, which made him feel extremely embarrassed.
When Xin You saw Cui Ying coming, there was no need for a confrontation. However, how much he admired Cui Ying in the past, now he hates her so much. "Cui Ying, I am in vain. I have treated you so well in the past. I didn't expect you to be so petty."
Man, Pan Yichun is right, you are just a greedy courtier and a jester."
In the past, Cui Ying had indeed resorted to unscrupulous means in order to climb up. Now that the king was pointing his nose at him and scolding him, he didn't bother to refute and accepted everything as ordered.
Xin You cursed and stopped scolding Cui Ying. After all, he was the King of Goryeo, not a shrew. Although he regretted promoting Cui Ying in the past, now that the palace was destroyed, it was useless for him to regret it.
Xin Yu, who was completely naked, looked up at Han Du and asked, "Come on, kill or behead him as you please."
After saying that, Xin You sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes.
Han Du shook his head and chuckled, saying: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I came here just to invite you, so why would you use swords against your Majesty?"
After hearing that he didn't have to die, Xin Yu saw the hope of survival in despair, and suddenly opened his eyes, and the joy in his eyes flashed away.
However, in order to preserve his dignity as the King of Korea, he quickly buried this joy deep in his heart.
Looking at Han Du, he asked in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want to do?"
If Han Du went to great lengths to conquer the royal capital just to take a look at Xin Yu and then go back, Xin Yu didn't believe it. Although his life was temporarily saved, he also knew that Han Du must have requirements.
But in the face of the current situation, let alone a request, he would agree to whatever Han Du said, even if he was asked to cede land, as long as it allowed someone to continue to be the King of Korea, he would agree without hesitation.
"This misunderstanding between Goryeo and Ming Dynasty was all caused by poor communication between the two parties and the lack of clear expression of their intentions." Han Du smiled and found a reason to ease the tension between him and Xin You. "Yes.
"Yes, please don't blame me, Lord Marquis." The man turned around quickly, kept bending towards Han Du, and begged for mercy with a smile, "The general didn't keep the door open, so please spare my life, Lord Marquis."
Han Du didn't think about what to do with him, so he let him go. He turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone, please listen clearly to me. We are attacking under the emperor's orders. We are not allowed to touch any plant or tree in the palace."
