    Seoul is brightly lit at night, with patrolling soldiers everywhere on the city walls, and burning torches making crackling sounds.  The entire city has fallen into silence. At this time, everyone in Seoul is immersed in fear, both the common people and the ministers.  For a city that had just experienced a coup, people's hearts were very unstable.  What's more, now that Jiannu is calling again, people are panicking for a while.  The palace in Seoul was brightly lit at this time, and everyone was coming in and out, with serious expressions on everyone's faces.  King Li Zong of North Korea was walking back and forth in the main hall, saying as he walked: "What should we do? What should we do? What should we do now?" For Li Zong, being the king is good, but if he is allowed to govern this country, he is  There is no such ability.  Ever since he came to the throne, he has been dreaming of sweet dreams and living in a state of intoxication all day long.  After hearing the news of the Jiannu attack.  Li Cong was not in a hurry and just sent people to the Ming Dynasty to ask for help.  In Li Cong¡¯s view, the Ming Dynasty is his suzerainty, and he has always been respectful to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will definitely send troops to save him.  And he also believed that the Ming Dynasty would definitely be able to defeat the army of Jiannu.  Since Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, all the battles have ended in great victory.  But when he heard that the slave-building army appeared at the gates of Seoul, Li Zong collapsed immediately and had no idea.  Glancing at the ministers sitting below, Li Zong said with a mournful face: "My dear friends, you should think of a solution!" He looked at Shen Hualin aside. At this time, Shen Hualin was the leader of the Western Party.  The status of the leading minister in the imperial court was equivalent to that of the cabinet bachelor of the Ming Dynasty.  The party struggle in North Korea is mainly between the Westerners' Party and the Easterners' Party. The Westerners' Party is mainly headed by Shen Yiqian, who lives in the west of Seoul Prefecture. His supporters are called the Westerners' Party. They support Zhu Zixue's theory of Li Yikuk's main energy.  The Dongren Party became the Dongren Party because their leader Kim Hyo-won lived in the east of Seoul.  These two parties all competed for the power of the court in the name of Confucianism.  Although North Korea is a small country, the party and government are intense.  It is even worse than the Ming Dynasty.  When the great minister Li Er was alive, the two factions were at peace with each other. After his death, the two factions began to fight.  The Eastern People's Party began to take power, and the Western People's Party attacked them and seized power on the grounds of Zheng Ruli's rebellion (Ji Chou Prison Incident).  In 1591, the Western Party made a mistake on the issue of establishing a son and was attacked by the Eastern Party. The Eastern Party regained control of the government and began to purge the Western Party.  Before the Wanli Korean War, the Western Party Huang Yunji and the Eastern Party Jin Chengyi were sent to Japan to detect the movements of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. They were unable to resist the attack because they came to different conclusions.  Neglecting national affairs due to party strife reached its peak at this time.  After King Gwanghae was established, the power of the Westerners weakened.  In order to regain power, the Westerners Party supported Injo.  This is what Renzu just experienced, and the Westerners Party has regained its own rights.  However, in the second lawsuit, the Southern People's Party's claims were accepted, and the Western People's Party's power was wiped out.  It was not until 1680 that Su Zong expelled a large number of southerners from the court for fear of the expansion of the power of the Southern People's Party. This was called the Geng-Shen Rebellion.  At this time, the Westerner Party leader Shen Hualin, who was sitting below, had no expression on his face.  In fact, he knew it very well.  With the military power of North Korea, it is simply impossible to think of resisting the cavalry of the slaves.  Not to mention fighting, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up. There is no way to fight this battle.  I originally thought that the slave establishment was just for plundering, but I didn¡¯t expect that they actually came to Seoul!  When Shen Hualin heard the news, he froze on the spot.  He did not send anyone to fight against the slaves.  After all, losing is really not conducive to consolidating one's position.  If you let them grab enough, they will naturally leave!  But at this time, Shen Hualin knew that he had no other way to use this method. Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Shen Hualin gently cleared his throat and said slowly: "The king, the people who are now establishing slaves  Already appeared at the gate of Seoul, I had mixed feelings in my heart. I thought about several solutions overnight. " Li Zong was already at a loss. When he heard that Shen Hualin had a solution, he seemed to grasp the last straw and said: "Shen Aiqing,  If you have any ideas, please tell me! After the incident is over, the lonely king will definitely be rewarded!" Shen Hualin remained expressionless and said respectfully: "At this time, Seoul is no longer safe. The king is from North Korea.  It is the foundation of the country. It is really inappropriate to be in such a dangerous situation, so I think that the king should leave Seoul." All the ministers on the side felt dumbfounded. Now that the army is approaching the capital, this minister is the first to do so.  The strategy was not to send troops, but to let the king escape.  Actually, Shen Hualin didn¡¯t want to say that, but he knew Li Cong¡¯s character very well. The king was too afraid of death!  It can be said that it is useless, otherwise you willSome people will not choose him to be the leader of the country.  If you send him away, if there is any oversight, you can still make it right.  Regardless of what the other ministers thought, Li Zong glanced at Shen Hualin gratefully. He was worthy of being his confidant. At this time, the first thing he thought of was his own safety.  Li Zong was very satisfied. He nodded and said, "Shen Aiqing, please tell me if you have any strategies!" "My lord, I think the emperor can move the royal family to Jianghua Island. Jiannu has all kinds of abilities. They will also come.  If we can't reach Ganghwa Island, the royal family will be safe. The king should retreat to Hanshan City to stabilize the morale of the army and wait for the arrival of King Qin's troops from all over the country. Then the king can lead the army to eliminate the danger in Seoul." Shen Hualin glanced at Li.  Zong smiled slightly in his heart. It seemed that he was really confident about the king.  "Master of the country, when you leave Seoul, give an order to the garrison in various places to bring troops to Seoul to serve the king! Although Jiannu can conquer the war, his number is only a small number after all. As long as the soldiers of tomorrow arrive, they will naturally be able to  A great victory!" Shen Hualin finished his speech, but he did not look at Li Cong, but glanced at the faces of the ministers.  At this time, Li Zong had no intention of watching Shen Hualin's actions. He wished he could leave here right now!  Park Jung-won, the chief minister on the side, really couldn't listen any more. He stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Master of the country, I have my own book!" Park Jung-won is the chief minister of North Korea, and his official position is equivalent to that of the Ming Dynasty.  The left governor of the Inspectorate!  Because it was an independent system, Park Government was not implicated in the coup. In order to stabilize the situation, the Western People's Party did not provoke the Chief Secretary Heon.  Since Li Zong ascended the throne, Pu Zhenglun has become unbearable!  When Gwanghae-gun was originally in power, Park Jung-ryon slightly criticized Gwanghae-gun's policies.  Because of Gwanghaejun's vacillating policies, he was obviously suspected of being treacherous to the Ming Dynasty, which made Park Jungmun, who was based on Shirye, somewhat dissatisfied.  "However, Gwanghae-gun only wanted the vast North Korea. According to Park Jung-ryon, this was very correct.  Park Government also strongly supports some of the Eastern People's Party's propositions.  However, since the Westerners came to power, they have been constantly purging people from the Easterners, using very ruthless methods.  The policy has also become to respect the Ming Dynasty and respect the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers. As for the policies of the Eastern Party, no matter whether they are good or bad, they are not used.  Park Zhengli was very dissatisfied with the Western People's Party, and at the same time, he was even more angry with Li Chong for his cowardice and incompetence.  At this time, seeing the troops approaching the city, the Westerners actually wanted to escape. Once they left, Seoul would surely fall!  What should the people of Seoul do?  Thinking of the loss of life and the raging war, Pu Zhenglun felt his heart aching.  When Li Cong allowed himself to speak, he couldn't wait to say: "My lord, Seoul is the foundation of Korea. There are 40,000 soldiers here! We can only build 20,000 slaves, not to mention that Seoul is a strong city and has sufficient food. The lord should be here  Seoul inspires the morale of the army and the people, and vows to live and die with Seoul, so that Seoul and North Korea can be preserved!" "Li Zong was not a cruel king, and he was very tolerant towards his ministers, but after listening to Pu Zhengren's words, he almost gave up.  My nose is crooked!  What does it mean to live and die together in Seoul?  If Seoul is gone, I will die!  Although there are 40,000 troops in Seoul, who are they?  Do you really think you don¡¯t know?  Seeing Li Zong's gloomy face, Shen Hualin immediately realized that this was an opportunity. He quickly stood up and rebuked loudly: "Pu Zhenglun, the king is the foundation of the country. You actually want to confine the king to a dangerous place. What are your intentions? Saint  It is said that you are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but you are disloyal! You are in vain to be the minister of the king, and you are in vain to be the disciple of the saint!" As the saying goes, there is no excuse to accuse Shen Hualin of frame-up.  Li Zong's face is getting darker and darker!  Shen Hualin waved his hand and said: "Shen Aiqing, just do as you say! You go down and make arrangements as soon as possible. I must rush to Hanyang as soon as possible!" Yes, the king!  The minister also said that since Mr. Park intends to live and die with Seoul, it is better to leave Seoul to his guard.  Since Mr. Park is so confident, he may be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive, and even defeat Jiannu!  Seeing that Li Zong had no intention of dealing with Pu Zhenglu, Shen Hualin suddenly had a plan in mind and said with a serious face. "Okay, it is indeed a good suggestion!"  Let the Uijeongye Government draft the decree!  "Li Cong glanced at Pu Zhenglun, nodded slowly, and said. "Your Majesty, since the royal family is leaving Seoul, I feel that sufficient troops should be dispatched to protect it.  Now there are 40,000 troops in Seoul. Please send 30,000 horses to accompany the king!  "Shen Hualin glanced at Pu Zhenglun and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth! He actually dared to attack himself. This time he must kill the chicken to show the monkey. "Li Cong was very afraid of death. He thought he was more successful than anything else. Seeing Shen Hualin doing everything  Thinking about himself, he smiled and said: "You can arrange these things!  I believe you!  After saying that, he walked out to the back, saying as he walked: "I'm tired, you all can go down!"  "
