Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

In just a moment, Li Xi had already made a decision in his heart.

He wanted to exchange Goryeo for a hereditary title in Daxia.

Don't think Li Xi is traitorous or anything like that. His willingness to annex Goryeo to Daxia was actually a very wise decision.

Let’s talk about history first. Goryeo has been influenced by Bactrian culture for thousands of years. Even their language and writing are all from Daxia.

Moreover, the entire Goryeo court structure, folk customs, etc. remained consistent with the Daxia Empire.

At the same time, when the new King of Goryeo succeeded to the throne, he also needed to be canonized by the Emperor of Daxia, otherwise his name would be unfair.

If the new king was not canonized by Daxia, the first people to jump out to oppose it would be Goryeo's own people.

Even in history, there has been more than one proposal to merge Goryeo into Daxia.

Moreover, this kind of proposal is still very popular in Goryeo.

Therefore, Li Xi was not worried that the people would disagree if he proposed to merge Goryeo into Daxia.

There may be objections, but Goryeo has been in turmoil for decades now, and the people also want to live a stable life.

Therefore, this voice of rejection is definitely much smaller than in the peaceful and prosperous times.

What do you say? I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times.

This is what Korea is like now.

First, political corruption in Goryeo led to various uprisings, and then the Sakura Kingdom took advantage of the chaos to invade Goryeo and forcibly annexed Goryeo.

After the annexation, Goryeo did not usher in peace. Instead, it was exploited and oppressed by the Sakura Kingdom.

Then, the Sakura Kingdom went to war with Daxia, and Goryeo was forced to join the war.

It wasn't until Daxia occupied all of Goryeo that the people of Goryeo could live a stable life.

At that time, both Li Xi and ordinary Goryeo people were dreaming that Goryeo would be able to live a peaceful life in the future.

However, before the good days had passed for a year, Zheng Zaixu and Cui Dongxu were fighting again.

At this time, Li Xi also felt tired. He had already realized that he was not made to be a king.

It would be better to give up Goryeo to Daxia, and then go to Daxia and become an idle hereditary marquis.

After I went to Daxia to become a marquis, I didn't have to worry about my own precarious situation.

"Mr. Su, do you have any plans? What do you need Xiao Wang to do?" Thinking of this, Li Xi asked directly.

"Back to the king, I only need the king to issue a statement, and leave the rest to the empire." Su Bai looked at Li Xi and said.

When Li Xi heard Su Bai's words, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said to Su Bai: "Mr. Su, it's easy to issue a statement to merge with Daxia."

"But if Xiao Wang issued this statement in Seoul, I'm afraid Xiao Wang wouldn't be able to survive."

"So I hope that Daxia can escort Xiao Wang to a safe place, and Xiao Wang will issue this statement again, okay?"

When Su Bai heard Li Xi's request, he nodded, and then said to Li Xi: "What the king said is reasonable."

"I will be ready. When the time comes, the king only needs to find a way to get out of the palace. I will find a way to take the king out of Goryeo and return directly to Daxia."

"So good, so good!" Li Xi nodded repeatedly when he heard Su Bai's words.

Then Su Bai stood up to say goodbye and secretly ran out of Gyeongbokgung Palace.

As for how Su Bai prepared, Li Xi didn't know. He only knew that he had to hide himself as much as possible before Su Bai gave him a signal.

Therefore, during this period of time, Li Xi could be said to be cautious, even sleeping with one eye open, fearing that he would talk in his sleep and leak the news.

Soon, time came to New Year's Day in 1903.

According to experience in previous years, Li Xi needs to go out of the palace to worship his ancestors on this day, and diplomats from various countries stationed in Goryeo also need to meet Li Xi.

It needs to be mentioned here that although Goryeo, as a subordinate state of Daxia, does not have much diplomatic rights. All diplomacy of Goryeo needs to be consistent with Daxia.

However, each country was still symbolic and set up offices in Goryeo.

Of course, except Daxia, Ryukyu, and the Tokugawa Shogunate, they really sent ambassadors.

New Year's Day is a busy day, at least that's what Li Xi thinks.

On this day, Li Xi was called up early in the morning, and then he started to put on his python robe, and then went to worship his ancestors and then accepted the congratulations from hundreds of officials and envoys from various countries.

Finally, we had a meal with the officials and envoys and watched the performance.

That’s pretty much it for this day.

The previous trip went very smoothly, everything was uneventful.

But when Li Xi saw that the person who came with the Daxia envoy turned out to be Su Bai, he realized that the plan was about to begin.

Li Xi suppressed his inner excitement, greeted Daxia's envoys calmly, and then motioned for Daxia's envoys to sit down.

After Daxia's envoy sat down, Li Xi looked towards Su Bai intentionally or unintentionally.

Su Bai, on the other hand, stared intently at the traditional dance performed by a Korean girl in the middle of the venue.

Halfway through the banquet, the sky had already turned a little dark.

Li Xi has been sitting in his seat for two or three hours.

He was extremely tired, but he was unwilling to leave just like that, because he knew that if Su Bai didn't leave, then the plan would not be considered a failure.

Finally, at [-]:[-] in the evening, Li Xi suddenly saw Su Bai winking at him from below.

After making sure that Li Xi saw his eyes, Su Bai stood up and walked toward the toilet at the back.

Seeing Su Bai walking towards the toilet, Li Xi also stood up and walked towards the toilet with the support of two young chamberlains.

But when Li Xi came to the toilet, he didn't even see Su Bai's shadow.

Just when Li Xi was still feeling strange, he suddenly heard two thumps outside the toilet.

Then Li Xi saw Su Bai duck into the toilet.

"Your Majesty, let's go! We only have five minutes!" Su Bai didn't give Li Xi time to speak.

After he said this, he picked up Li Xi and ran outside.

Before Li Xi could run far, he felt like his lungs were going to explode.

He had never run so fast.

When he felt that he was about to be run to death, he was already pulled to the edge of a section of the palace wall by Su Bai.

Su Bai didn't care about Li Xi at this time. He let go and moved a large bluestone slab next to the palace wall.

Li Xi didn't speak, just looked at Su Bai quietly.

When Su Bai moved the big bluestone away, a dog hole appeared in front of Li Xi.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and get out. There are people outside to pick you up. They will send you directly to Incheon!"

"After arriving in Incheon, there is a cruise ship waiting for the king. As soon as the king boards the ship, the cruise ship will leave the port directly."

"But, Mr. Su, this is a dog hole!" Li Xi looked at Su Bai. He really never thought that one day he would get into a dog hole.
