However, the situation when Li Di ascended the throne was that the Manchu and Qing dynasties had already entered the country, and the Central Plains became a mess.
In addition, at that time, North Korea had fallen into the arms of the Manchus and was no longer the caring little cotton-padded jacket of the Ming Dynasty.
It is naturally impossible for the Ming Dynasty to recognize his throne.
In other words, the current Li Di is in the Ming Dynasty. At best, he has established himself as the king. At worst, he is the false king of the Qing Dynasty.
Now that the Ming Dynasty can issue an order to recognize his throne, how could Li Di not be excited?
It goes without saying that Ming Dynasty exerted great influence on North Korea!
It has long been a practice that the throne of Korea needs to be recognized by the Ming Dynasty.
It would be fine if the Ming Dynasty perished. North Korea would not be able to go to the underworld to find the Ming Emperor to recognize the legitimacy of his throne.
But now that the Ming Dynasty has been restored, if Li Di's throne cannot be recognized by the Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of the Korean people, it means that his position is unfair, and his name is unfair...
Now that his throne is finally recognized by the Ming Dynasty, how can Li Di not feel excited?
Eyes converged one after another. Liao Zhou's eyes glanced around with a sense of pressure and he spoke.
"The emperor is entrusted by heaven, and the edict says: King Yi Bi of Korea is loyal, benevolent, diligent and observant of etiquette, and cares about his family and country..."
The result was just as Li Di expected. This imperial edict indeed recognized the legitimacy of his throne.
After reading out the imperial edict, Liao Zhou spoke.
"Please ask the King of Joseon to accept the order!"
Li Di quickly stepped forward, and regardless of the king's face, he personally took the imperial edict from Liao Zhou and held it respectfully with both hands.
Liao Zhou spoke again.
"His Royal Highness the King of Joseon, when Xiaguan left the capital, Your Majesty told him that Li Yin, the crown prince of the Joseon Dynasty, is loyal, kind, and talented, and that he can study in the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty."
"After completing my studies, I can return to North Korea and inherit the throne of North Korea, and I will be able to better govern North Korea."
"What do you say, Your Majesty?"
Liao Zhou's meaning is very clear. Now the Ming Dynasty needs a proton.
The Prince of Joseon is currently the best choice.
As for what will happen after Prince Wang arrives in Ming Dynasty...
Didn't we all say that the crown prince of North Korea needs to complete his studies before he can return to North Korea and inherit the throne?
As for what level of learning is considered successful, of course it is the Ming Dynasty that has the final say!
After hearing this, Li Di also spoke.
"What the angel said makes sense. It is indeed appropriate for the prince to study in the Ming Dynasty!"
After saying this, Li Di added another sentence.
"I have a daughter who is beautiful and pretty. I am willing to donate it to His Majesty and let her serve at Your Majesty's side!"
"Please also ask the angel to convey it!"
Liao Zhou nodded.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will convey it to you."
"My Ming Dynasty and North Korea have always been very close, and they also have the habit of marrying each other. I think it shouldn't be a problem at this time."
Don't argue with each other, the Ming Dynasty does not want to get married, but it does not mean that there will be no marriage.
Marriages in the Ming Dynasty were different from those in the Han and Tang Dynasties.
The biggest difference is that in the Han and Tang Dynasties, the princess was sent out, but in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor and prince of the Ming Dynasty married the princess of another country.
Princesses of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to marry outsiders!
For example, the two heroes of Ming Taizu and Ming Chengzu had many Korean, Annan, and Mongolian concubines in their harems.
Even today's Zhu Hongyu has many women in his harem whom he has accepted for marriage.
In Liao Zhou's opinion, there is a high probability that His Majesty will not refuse this matter, so it shouldn't be a big problem!
Liao Zhou ended his mission in North Korea and did not stay any longer. Instead, he took a boat to return to the mainland of the Ming Dynasty.
Go and return to Zhu Hongyu!
Looking at the vast blue sea in front of him, Liao Zhou took a deep breath, his chest filled with long-standing pride.
Looking at the vast sea, he seemed to see the bright future of the Ming Dynasty.
He firmly believes that under the leadership of His Majesty, the restoration of the Ming Dynasty will become a reality!
…
Nanjing City, Qian Mansion Study Room!
The Forbidden City in Nanjing is still under renovation, and Zhu Hongyu still lives in Qian Qianyi's house.
Qian Qianyi's study room naturally became his office.
Zhou Tianxu stood in front of Zhu Hongyu and handed a thick stack of information into Zhu Hongyu's hands.
Zhu Hongyu flipped through the information casually, and the expression on his face gradually became solemn.
Then he opened his mouth and gave an order.
"Convene all the important officials from the cabinet and the Fifth Military Governor's Office to the Fengtian Palace to discuss matters!"
After giving this order, Zhu Hongyu ordered to change his clothes, and then rode towards the Forbidden City in Nanjing.
If there is no need, Zhu Hongyu never likes to ride. He still prefers to ride a horse and gallop, with that feeling of speed.
After he arrived at Fengtian Hall, all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty arrived without letting him wait long.
Zhu Hongyu glanced around, and after everyone saluted, he opened his mouth and gave instructions.
"Give me a seat!"
After he finished speaking, the little eunuch brought stools for these important civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty.
After all these people sat down, Zhu Hongyu spoke.
"A few days ago, Jin Yiwei sent me a lot of information about the situation in the world. I can't make up my mind for the time being. I need you all to discuss it together."
After that, Zhu Hongyu ordered people to give the rubbings of the information sent by Jin Yiwei to each of the people below.
There was the sound of turning pages in the Fengtian Palace. The information sent by the Jin Yiwei this time mainly focused on five aspects.
The first aspect is the movement of the Qing court. The Qing court's move to shrink its defense line is very obvious.
After the Qing troops withdrew from Hubei and Henan, a large strategic vacuum was left in Hubei and Henan.
Wu Sangui is sending troops to seize territory in Hubei and Henan provinces.
However, in Hubei and Henan provinces, many local state capitals spontaneously hoisted the flag of the Ming Dynasty and sent letters of allegiance to Zhu Hongyu.
In this incident, although there were certainly many people in Hubei and Henan who sympathized with the Ming Dynasty, they spontaneously made the decision to join the Ming Dynasty.
And put it into practical action!
But the traces left by the Qing court's manipulation in this matter are also very obvious!
Xu Bin stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, I think the Ming Dynasty should take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to seize the precious places like Hubei and Henan."
Although it is said that the Ming Dynasty will not launch large-scale foreign wars in the next few years, who can resist eating the fat in front of them?
This is a strategic gap for two provinces!
They are still two provinces that can be called a sacred place!
If we can eat these two provinces and digest them a little, Ming's strength will definitely rise to a great extent.
Zhang Huangyan stood up and expressed his different opinions.
"Your Majesty, I do not agree with our Ming Dynasty launching an attack on Henan and Hubei provinces at this time."
"Now it is clear that Wu Sangui also wants to seize Hubei and Henan provinces. If the Ming Dynasty takes action against Hubei and Henan at this time, a conflict with Wu Sangui will most likely break out."
"Then it will be cheaper than Manqing!"
Zhang Huangyan saw that Hubei and Henan provinces were bait thrown by the Qing government.
