Chapter 624 The pressure is a bit high

A team hurriedly left the Seoul Palace, turned a corner, and arrived in front of a newly built magnificent palace next door. A chamberlain lowered his head, walked to the guard at the door in small steps, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please Your Majesty’s order has come, please let me know.”

The guard's hair style with a money rat tail made it obvious that he was a Manchurian. The man replied proudly: "Wait here!"

After saying that, he nodded to another guard and went inside to report.

In the sedan at the door, Guanghaijun was sitting there, a little dazed. At this time, he actually regretted what he had done. According to his original intention, he wanted to walk between the Ming and Qing countries. But the situation developed uncontrollably, and eventually stepped on the Qing Dynasty's ship, and the road turned dark.

Logically speaking, he is the king of North Korea, so he must have some dignity. But the Qing generals were stationed here, and the Qing generals actually had the final say in North Korean affairs. No, when something happens, Gwanghae-kun, the king of Joseon, has to come to General Qing’s house by himself.

Comparing the two, Lord Guanghai once again experienced what is a country of civilization and etiquette, and what is a country of barbarians and barbarians!

At this time, footsteps sounded, and the guard came back and shouted loudly: "Master has an order to let your king enter alone, while the others wait here and wait quietly!"

Lord Guanghai heard this, but he still waited until the chamberlain came over to report, then he got off the sedan chair and walked slowly inside. Along the way, when he met money-slingers, he couldn't help but smile a little to show his friendliness to the people of the Qing Dynasty.

In the lobby, Ying Erdai was sitting in the main seat. Seeing Mr. Guang Hai come in, she refused to let her sit down. She just stared at him, her face seemed a little ugly.

When Lord Guanghai saw it, his heart tightened, and he quickly squeezed out a smile and asked, "Sir, what's the matter with summoning Xiao Wang?"

"I heard that someone reported bad things about our Qing Dynasty!" Ying Erdai said coldly, "But the king just scolded me and didn't know whether it was true or not?"

After talking about it, his tone was particularly cold, obviously he was very dissatisfied!

When Guanghaijun heard this, he was shocked. He didn't know how Jianlu knew this so quickly. Then when he thought about it, he understood that Jianlu was the king of Korea, and naturally there were many people in the palace who worked hard for Jianlu. I'm afraid that every move he makes is under Jianlu's surveillance.

Thinking of this, he became a little nervous again. Without the protection and support of Jianlu, he would never survive a day after doing what he did after becoming the king of Korea again. Now that Jianlu knew his secret thoughts, he was angry.

With these things flashing through Guanghaijun's mind, he made a decision in his heart, and quickly replied: "Sir, please calm down, this is a long-term plan to catch a big fish. They dare to slander the Qing Dynasty as a disaster for North Korea, making the people of North Korea miserable. Living in dire straits, countless people starved to death..."

At this point, he paused and looked at Ying Erdai for a moment. Seeing his cold face, he continued: "I know that the court has absolutely no idea that he is dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty, so he remained calm and just drank. Reprimanding them is to give them the courage to let more people who are dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty jump out. I know that these people must miss the time when the Ming Dynasty was the suzerain state, and miss the traitor in the past. I decided to turn around and catch them all in one fell swoop! "

"Haha..." Upon hearing this, Ying Erdai burst out laughing, obviously in a good mood. After laughing, he saw a smile on his face, and said to Guanghaijun in a somewhat superficial smile, "So that's it. It seems that I have misunderstood the king! Then I hope that the king will get his wish and catch all these people with ulterior motives! If there is not enough manpower, I can allocate some troops to the king. Absolutely They are all elites!”

"Then I'll thank you sir first!" Lord Guanghai showed joy and responded quickly.

Ying Erdai nodded and accepted it calmly. Then his face suddenly changed and he said seriously: "I have just received the emperor's order. The Qing Dynasty has just established the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of the Mongolia Army. The military strength is far greater than before. As a result, the food consumption is also a bit too much. However, Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty not dare to be distracted by coveting North Korea, so as to protect the king's safety. The food tribute after this autumn must be doubled, does the king understand?"

When Lord Guanghai heard this, his face suddenly turned pale. The original food quota was already unbearable. This would be doubled again. Then... then...

Although he is a bit shabby, he only cares about enjoying happiness in this life and does not care about the floods in the future. But after all, he had experienced the last rebellion. When his father fled to the Ming Dynasty, he had stabilized the domestic situation on his own, and he could be considered to understand some of the sufferings of the people. Knowing that if this happens, people will starve to death on a large scale.

While he was thinking about it, Ying Erdai couldn't help but darken her face when she saw his hesitation, and shouted in a cold voice: "Why, the king only wants the protection of my Qing Kingdom, but doesn't want to pay any price?"

Haha, is it just a small price to pay? When Lord Guanghai heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart. However, he did not dare to make Ying Erdai, the Supreme Emperor, unhappy, otherwise he could embarrass himself at any time and make himself suffer. He immediately squeezed out a smile and replied: "The army of our country is stronger, and I am very happy. A little thought is always needed. It's just...just..."

"Just what?" Ying Erdai's voice was cold.

Lord Guanghai gritted his teeth and replied: "It's just that the harvest is not good now. The food harvested in autumn will mostly be used for winter. If there is too much shortage, I am afraid that too many people will starve to death, which will make the domestic situation unstable. I have already received the news Report that rebels have appeared in the south!"

Upon hearing this, it wasn’t that Mr. Guanghai didn’t want to give it, but that he was telling the truth. Ying Erdai's face looked better, and she immediately said with a smile: "There is no need for the king to worry about this! I have already heard about what happened in the south. I am afraid that it was induced by Ming spies, so I can send troops to suppress it. As for the king’s concern that there will be too many casualties among the people, let’s do this. I will select more people and send them to my country in the Qing Dynasty, so that the king will have fewer mouths to eat and no one will starve to death!”

When Lord Guanghai heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart. If the Qing Dynasty wants people to leave, they will all be young and strong! But his focus is not on this, but on whether the rebellion in the south really has the shadow of the Ming Dynasty!

He thought about it carefully. He had killed all the people in Injo's lineage before. They should not be able to elect other royal families to covet his position! With this thought, he felt a little more relieved, forced a smile on his face, and quickly agreed to Ying Erdai's proposal.

Seeing Lord Guanghai leaving the lobby, Ying Erdai's expression turned cold again. He remembered Huang Taiji's decree, saying that the domestic harvest had been destroyed by the Ming army. Now in the winter of the Qing Dynasty, we have to rely on food from North Korea, which is a bit stressful!

Thanks for the reward for being careful → falling!
