The Ming Dynasty started with caution

"Father...has a concubine in the Ming Dynasty?" Han Jun felt like a bolt from the blue, his heart ached. He stared blankly at Wang Busui, and suddenly felt that he had become an orphan.

Wang Busui sighed and said, in the words of the young master, your father is an old scumbag.

"We haven't gotten married yet, so don't think too much. You should find a way to release me first. If you can't let me go, you'll have to delay and kill me."

The young master will definitely come to save him. His life is not worth anything. How about refined salt?

Han Jun calmed down and quickly entered Gyeongbokgung Palace and asked to see Lord Yeonsang. When he arrived at the dormitory, he was stopped outside by the imperial guards.

"My minister, Han Jun, has something to ask for."

There was a squeaking sound coming from inside...

As soon as I heard it, I knew that Mr. Yanshan was very busy when he asked for something, and disturbing his Majesty's elegant mood at this time would definitely attract a lot of big men.

Han Jun did not dare to provoke Lord Yanshan, but his father was still in the hands of Ming Dynasty.

With the lives of more than a dozen people, Wang Busui might be able to get his father back.

"Master Han, Mr. Yanshan has something important to do!"

"Mr. Yanshan, the person arrested by the Robbery Bureau is a businessman from Liangxiang!" Han Jun shouted in fear from across the palace gate.

After a while, the palace door opened, and Shang Gong invited Han Jun in.

I saw a mess in the dormitory. Lord Yanshan was wearing a red dragon robe and looked a little tired, as if he had been hollowed out.

Behind the screen, there is a group of medical women hiding here and not daring to show their faces.

Han Jun hurriedly knelt down and lowered his head: "Those traders are from good hometowns and are the private slaves of the powerful officials of the Ming Dynasty. They cannot be killed."

"The powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty?" Lord Yanshan was a little surprised. A caravan he captured at random was the personal slave of a powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty. This luck... was so unusual.

"Which minister?"

"The surname is Yan, the others... I don't know." It's Yan Laogao, but I dare not say.

Lord Yanshan suddenly smiled. He was quite familiar with the prohibitions of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty implemented a sea ban. If a minister secretly sells salt, he will be punished by death.

Rumor has it that Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty was a wise and filial man who would never allow his ministers to break the rules. If these people were escorted back to the Ming Dynasty, they might be able to seek rewards from the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Salting salt in the Ming Dynasty is a capital crime. You only went to the Ming Dynasty once, how could you know him and be familiar with his servants? Did he let you bring this salt into North Korea?" Yanshan Jun said with a smile on his lips. Han Jun looks a little scary.

All the ministers of the Uijijong government knew that Lord Yeonsang was not in his right mind.

Cold sweat broke out on Han Jun's forehead.

"In...in the Liangxiang of the Ming Dynasty, there is a library. I am acquainted with Master Yan there. I have never had an affair, and I have never leaked anything about Lord Yanshan."

Lord Yanshan always ordered his envoys not to mention the brutal rule of Korea.

"Okay, go ahead and let the person go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Han Jun left, Lord Yanshan ordered the inner guards to search Han Jun's residence.

Half an hour later,

The inner guard brought back a package containing ten letters.

Yanshanjun picked up a letter and opened it to read:

In April of the 14th year of Hongzhi, he made friends with Zuo Chengzhi and Pu Yuanzong.

Open another letter and read it:

In May of the 14th year of Hongzhi, he made friends with Minister Liu Shunting.

…

The last letter is opened:

In August of the fourteenth year of Hongzhi, he went to the Ming Dynasty as an envoy

At the end of every letter, there are four small words: Burn after reading.

There are actually ministers from the Ming Dynasty, ministers who control our dynasty?

Lord Yanshan looked angry.

Since Hongzhi ascended the throne in the seventh year, envoys have been sent to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year. There has never been a precedent for the Ming Dynasty to leave envoys behind.

If you look at this letter again: it will be burned after reading it.

It is actually similar to the Ming Dynasty Shuzhuo sent back by Han Jun.

"This king has been fooled!"

Han Simen must not have been detained by the Ming Emperor.

"Arrest Han Jun and put all the people mentioned in these letters into the internal detention cell."

outside Seoul,

Han Jun followed the order of Lord Yanshan and rescued Wang Busui and others and sent them out of Seoul.

Sitting on the carriage, Wang Busui breathed a sigh of relief.

Korea is more chaotic than Jizhou border area. Let Xie Yu come next time.

"I risked my life to save others, please beg Master Yan to release my father." Han Jun begged.

Wang Busui nodded: "I will tell the young master. Go back quickly. Hey, aren't they here to pick you up?"

A group of officers and soldiers rode up to catch up and surrounded the carriage.

"I am following the orders of Lord Yanshan, who dares to stop me?"

Without saying a word, the officers and soldiers took Han Jun away together.

…

Gyeongbokgung Palace,

Lord Yanshan threw the letter in front of Han Jun: "Who is this person who burned after reading it?"

"I... I don't know either." Han Jun's legs were shaking and he almost peed.

The package hidden on the beam was discovered by Yanshanjun.

"What did your father do in Ming Dynasty?"

"Look...look at the door."

Yanshanjun's eyes showed a murderous fierceness, and Han Jun knelt on the ground: "Really...really looking at the gate."

…

Yan Chengjin spread out the map on the ground.

The Jurchen forces in Jianzhou were dispersed, but they continued to harass Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty.

According to historical trajectory, Ming Dynasty's biggest enemy should be Jianzhou, not Tatar.

At this time, an idea emerged in Yan Chengjin's mind.

Let North Korea destroy Jianzhou.

Trading refined salt with North Korea is a superficial disguise, rescuing Wang Busui is an intermediate disguise, and letting North Korea destroy Jianzhou is the real purpose.

"Although there is still more than a hundred years left, to be on the safe side, we need to prepare now."

Jianzhou lay dormant in the wilderness state north of Liaodong and made a living by hunting. It was difficult for the Ming army to pursue him.

If North Korea attacks Jianzhou, Jianzhou will be destroyed thirty to fifty years later, and the Ming Dynasty can sit back and enjoy the results.

Yan Chengjin was also worried about the continuation of the Ming Dynasty.

Pick up the ink pen and start drawing a mind map on the paper.

"North Korea will not easily send troops. By putting Han Simen in the leadership position and allowing him to destroy Jianzhou, the probability of Ming Dynasty's destruction will be reduced by 50%."

The Ling Yi Zheng was equivalent to the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet and could influence the affairs of the court.

Now is a good opportunity to support Han Simen as leader to discuss politics.

"Nephew, what are you drawing on the ground?" Wang Yue walked into the main hall and saw Yan Chengjin scribbling on the ground.

Seven or eight arcs are dazzling to see.

"Your Excellency, is there any cavalry that can be mobilized at court?"

"Of course there are some. What do you want to do?"

Han Simen and the envoys from the Ministry of Rites went to North Korea with not many people. If there were changes in North Korea and China, they might not be able to get the news back as quickly as possible.

The soldiers around Wang Yue were different, and they could rush back to the capital eight hundred miles away.

"The refined salt from Liangxiang is being held in North Korea, and envoys have been sent to negotiate, but I am afraid of changes." Yan Chengjin said directly: "I want to ask your Excellency for a messenger cavalry to be deployed along the way."

Wang Yue immediately went to make arrangements without saying a word.

He came here to ask for a manuscript, and the latest manuscript was finished again.

…

The ship was about to dock. Han Simen looked at his long-lost hometown in North Korea with a lot of emotions in his heart. It would be a different mood when he came back.

Suddenly I felt that the leisurely life in Liangxiang was better than being an official in North Korea.

"Master Tong, let's inquire about the situation first, and then it won't be too late to meet with His Majesty." After landing, Han Simen said seriously.

After nearly three months of departure, Seoul was like a hell on earth, with people dying of hunger everywhere, even worse than the refugees in Liangxiang.

The people are like beggars, only their eyes are clean.

The officers from the Robbery Department were searching everywhere, seemingly trying to catch the prisoner.

It is unknown what other cruel and inhumane things Yanshanjun did during this period.

"Listen to Mr. Han."

Tong Zhang was a little scared.

North Korea paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty many times a year, so it should be extremely rich. How could it be in such a miserable state?

He saw some people lying in dirty mud puddles, obviously lifeless.

The Imperial College has been turned into a brothel. It is unsightly to watch Guan Bao's acquaintance in broad daylight.

"How dare you come back?" A person rushed out and shouted angrily.

Han Simen was confused. Pu Yuanzong was a loyal follower of Lord Yanshan, so how could he hide in hiding and be invisible to others?

"Your son killed me and others!" Pu Yuanzong gritted his teeth and made a squeaking sound.

They were living well at first, but after Yanshanjun found a stack of letters from Han Jun's house, he started arresting people.

Park Yuanzong was wronged.

He didn't know Mr. Yan of Ming Dynasty at all, let alone have an affair with him.

What puzzled him was why Lord Yan of the Ming Dynasty knew his name and wrote it in the letter.

"I don't understand, Brother Pu, what's going on?" Han Simen asked.

"Jun Yanshan is going to repeat the Wuwu Disaster!"
