Min Zhenghao was already prepared to die. The thousand elite imperial cavalry trained by the king with great pains were handed over to him with confidence, but he did nothing and was disarmed by the Ming army before even firing an arrow.
This alone was enough for Min Zhenghao to take the blame and commit suicide, not to mention that the king died in an accident. As a minister, he was incompetent and powerless. This also made Min Zhenghao suffer a lot in his heart, and he wished he could die on the king's behalf.
But what makes Min Zhenghao most uncomfortable is that his beloved sister Janggeum was given to Liu Ziguang by the king. As a man of the Goryeo nation, he can't protect the monarch or women, so what's the point of living? At this moment, Min Zhenghao was completely despaired.
Waiting for the Ming army to behead him in public.
The door lock fell with a clang, and two Ming army soldiers came in and lifted Min Zhenghao to take him out. Min Zhenghao said coldly: "It's finally my turn. Please sharpen the knife later and then chop."
Without saying anything, the two soldiers took Min Zhenghao to a palace gate in Gyeongbokgung Palace that had not been affected by the war. They untied the ropes around him and pushed him in. After entering, there was a long alley.
The lights on both sides were brightly lit, and the people standing there were red-shirted soldiers with bright armor, guns in their hands, and bayonets dazzling. A voice said coldly from behind: "Go forward, don't look back."
I'm about to be executed... Min Zhenghao thought sadly. He didn't know if the front was a guillotine or a shooting range. I heard that the Ming army was no longer interested in beheading. They used fire blunderbuss to kill people in the head, even though the head was beaten to flesh and blood.
It was blurry, but at least the whole body was left. I pity the parents at home, they didn’t know that their son was about to pass away, and Jang Geum, maybe she was being rolled over by Mingren. At this moment, Min Zhenghao suddenly regretted,
As early as the day he was released from prison in the Ming Dynasty, he should not have entered the court as an official again. If he had left with his seal and traveled three thousand miles of Goryeo with Jang Geum, he would have been poorer than he is now.
It is better to kill people like dogs.
Min Zhenghao was walking staggeringly, when suddenly the door in front of him opened, and a dazzling light came out from inside. It was so bright that he couldn't see clearly even if he squinted his eyes. He only felt two pairs of soft hands supporting him, and then a pleasant sound.
The sound of silk and bamboo rang out, and Min Zhenghao's eyes gradually adapted to the light. Only then did he realize that the palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. The palace ladies were dressed in silk and satin, and the tables were filled with sparkling silver cups and plates, and all kinds of delicacies.
There is a dazzling array of things to see, and what is even more surprising is a beauty in palace attire, surrounded by maids, looking at him with a smile. Isn't this Jang Geum?
Min Zhenghao was shocked. He looked around and saw that his parents, relatives and friends were all there, and they were all dressed in costumes. Korean people usually lived a simple life, only wearing white national costumes, but Min Zhenghao's father actually wore a mid-level civil servant's uniform.
Yuan Neck, what is going on? Could it be that I have been executed and this is all in a dream?
Min Zhenghao was still in a daze, and the two palace maids said in sweet voices: "Groom, please go and hold your bride."
Min Zhenghao put a finger in his mouth and bit it, and then he confirmed that it was not a dream. He heard someone next to him laugh and say: "Why is Master Min still wearing the battle robe? Come here, put on my clothes."
Just think of it as a dress."
The person who spoke was none other than Liu Ziguang. He took off the big red python robe on his body and asked the palace maid to help Min Zhenghao put it on. Min Zhenghao didn't react for a while and looked at Liu Ziguang blankly. Liu Ziguang said: "Master Min and the chief minister.
Even I in the Ming Dynasty have heard that this man is a talented and beautiful woman, and that he is a match made in heaven. However, lovers may not always get married, which is really a pity for the world.
Today, my commander is here for a tour, and I just want to help the two of you, Min Zhenghao, why don’t you go and pay your respects to the church.”
The change of things was too dramatic. The prisoner who was facing the death penalty just now turned out to be the proud groom. Liu Ziguang, the devil who killed the king and occupied Hanyang, was standing at the wedding scene with a smile on his face, like a close friend.
Min Zhenghao took a deep breath and tried to keep himself awake. He couldn't figure out what medicine the other party was selling in the gourd. Now he could only take one step at a time, so he slowly walked towards Jang Geum and took the red medicine in the other person's hand.
At that moment, Jang Geum opened his lips slightly and told Min Jung Ho not to do anything stupid.
Min Zhenghao nodded lightly. His relatives were all in the palace. If he was not careful, they would be harmed. Anyway, he and Jang Geum had been in love for a long time. It didn't matter even if he was executed after the wedding.
A wedding with Goryeo ethnic characteristics was completed under the bayonet of the Red Shirt Army. After the ceremony, all the relatives and friends had wine in the palace, and Liu Ziguang called the newlyweds to the side hall to give a lecture.
"Master Min is loyal and patriotic, and I appreciate it very much. Originally, when the king passed away, we should not arrange happy events, but I made an exception and helped you and Jang Geum get married tonight. But you will have to wait until tomorrow.
I have brought filial piety to the king. The country cannot be without a king for a day. I, the commander-in-chief, think that Yuanzi Li Hao is very smart and worthy of being a great king. Therefore,
I have appointed him as the King of Goryeo. The king is young and needs the assistance of loyal ministers and good generals. Lord Min, please do not shirk. In times of crisis, loyal ministers like you should step forward. I have decided to make you the general who protects the country and is in charge of the country's troops.
Sister Jang Geum, are you two willing to be promoted to the highest palace and take charge of the internal affairs of the palace?"
Min Zhenghao and Dae Janggeum looked at each other and were speechless. They didn't expect Liu Ziguang to trust them so much, which made them speechless.
Liu Ziguang added: "Koryo is a country of Korean people. I will never interfere in the internal affairs. Originally, I was just passing through Jianghua. I didn't expect to be invited by your late king to Hanyang to discuss matters. I wanted to simply ask him why he resorted to militarism.
all the people in
On top of the fire and water, I didn't expect that the people below were incapable of doing things, and actually caused a misunderstanding, leading to Li Zhu's death. Alas, Li Zhu was also a straight-tempered man, and he was very fond of my commander's temperament. I was very sad when he passed away."
Liu Ziguang also wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Back then, General Jin Caocheng led his troops to the north to cooperate with the Qing army in their expedition to the Ming Dynasty. They were defeated on the way, and his family members who stayed in Hanyang were killed by traitors. This caused General Jin to rebel, and the north and south of Goryeo were divided. All of this was treachery.
Chen Xiaoxiao is causing trouble among them. Now that the king has passed away and the new king has ascended the throne, Master Min is in charge of the world's military. I hope that you can promote reconciliation between the north and the south and there will be no more military disasters in Goryeo. Can you do this?"
Liu Ziguang's touching words made Min Zhenghao feel warm all over. Speaking of which, it was really not his fault. It was the king who insisted on leading troops to capture Liu Ziguang and brought him to Hanyang. If he had not had the thought of harming others, he might not have done it.
As for these things, and because of Jang Geum’s incident, Min Jung Ho
He had always had a small opinion of Li Zhu, but at the last moment, Li Zhu actually handed over Jang Geum as a bargaining chip to save his life. This made Min Zhenghao even more unhappy. In his heart, Jang Geum was a goddess who could not be blasphemed.
No one, including the king, can do anything bad to her.
In the final analysis, it was the wedding that Liu Ziguang arranged for Min Zhenghao that broke his last line of defense. He did not even want such a beautiful, virtuous and intelligent woman. This only shows that Liu Ziguang is a kind man, and that he does not cherish old sins and allows himself to be in charge of the world's soldiers.
Horse, what is this? This is a mind as broad as the sea. To be disrespectful, compared with Liu Ziguang, Li Zhuo can't even catch up with him on horseback.
Thinking of this, Min Zhenghao bowed his head and bowed: "Commander, please accept Min Zhenghao's bow. The commander has orders, and Min Zhenghao must obey them."
Liu Ziguang hurriedly helped him: "It's easy to talk, and from now on, Korea will rely entirely on the general. It's getting late, and a moment is worth a thousand pieces of gold. I won't disturb you two. Let's see your guests off."
After Min Zhenghao and Da Janggeum went out, Navy Commander Bu Yongshen turned Wen Getao out from behind, and asked with a pair of bull's-eyes puzzled: "Commander, which song are you singing? Just
Aren’t you afraid that this kid will betray you?”
Liu Ziguang said: "It's just for fun. I didn't take them seriously at first. Don't look at how poor Goryeo is. I guess there are only a few taels of silver after searching the treasury. Let them continue to fight between the north and the south. Wait for the new
Now that the king has ascended the throne, let’s pack up and leave.”
Liu Ziguang supported the new king of Goryeo to ascend the throne because North Goryeo was no longer under his control at this time. Jin Caocheng was really good at changing the situation. As soon as Liu Ziguang announced his exile overseas, he
The Nanjing court expressed its allegiance. Presumably, the Red Shirt Army could not even provide their own supplies, so how could they still have the strength to transport food, ammunition, and ammunition to them. Without this support, Jin Caosheng's rebels could not resist the Hwarang Army.
The attack on the enemy could only lead to death, so he adopted the strategy of "having breasts is a mother", abandoned Liu Ziguang, his old master, and turned to the Nanjing court. Needless to say, Zhu Youxiao must be very happy, because this is equivalent to defeating Liu Ziguang.
Zi Guang pointed a finger.
If there is no light in the east, there is light in the west. Without Jin Caocheng, wouldn’t I be able to play with Goryeo? Liu Ziguang took advantage of the opportunity of being in exile to solve South Goryeo in one day. He didn’t think much about arranging puppet personnel at first, so he appointed Li
Mingbo and Min Zhenghao were all doing it randomly. Anyway, this country with a big bullet has no use value, so it is just a play.
Li Zhu's son was only five years old. He was born with a tiger-like head and a tough brain. He looked like a little stick at first glance. He was not sad at all after his father died. He knew that he was running around and playing wildly. The government was in the hands of Prime Minister Lee Myung-bak. Lee Myung-bak came from his hometown.
A group of people were gathered to take over the Liucao and the Robbery Hall, and in the name of the new king, they issued an edict to all the provinces, asking them to pay gold and silver as expenses for the burial of Li Zhu and the new king's enthronement.
Min Zhenghao and Lee Myung-bak were both civil and military, and they should have cooperated sincerely, but they looked down on each other and always stumbled secretly. Although Lee Myung-bak was a small official, he burst out with energy and energy after he suddenly ascended to the big position.
His strategy is astonishing. He quickly took control of the civil service system, developed the Bureau of Robbery into his own private violent agency, and purged the civil servants who opposed him. However, Min Zhenghao was a martial artist and was obviously not as efficient as Lee Myung-bak. Although he had soldiers and horses
, but did not take any advantage. The two fought openly and secretly, but did not dare to fight, because they were both Liu Ziguang's candidates for general and prime minister, and it would not be good if they went too far.
Putting two people who didn't like each other in charge of Goryeo was exactly Liu Ziguang's method of checks and balances. During his stay in Goryeo, he plundered the treasury, not to mention gold and silver ingots, and even old copper coins.
They were rolled onto the ship and kept for the purpose of exile. Even the gold and silver tableware from Gyeongbokgung Palace were not spared. After tidying them up, they finally raised several million taels of funds.
