Ye Xianggao, who was only in his thirties, was appointed as the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue by Xiao Ruxun after the establishment of the Daqin.
He believed that Ye Xianggao had the ability to handle civil affairs, so he put him in the Ministry of Revenue to gain experience. However, with Ye Xianggao's ability, if he went to Liaodong, he should be able to hold up the facade of Liaodong. If he arranged a general to oversee Liaodong, it would not be difficult to stabilize Liaodong.
Liaodong should be straightened out first, and then other things could be arranged. But it was certain that the road in Liaodong had to be repaired first. Xiao Ruxun had already ordered Yuan Huang to start preparing to repair the Dazhi Road from the capital to Shenyang.
If Liang Menglong was willing to be the Liaodong Inspector-General, that would be the best. He could summon him to the capital to ask. But if he felt that this would make him lose his integrity in his old age, Xiao Ruxun would not force him. He would let Ye Xianggao take action in advance.
There were many things to deal with in the palace. Xiao Ruxun was busy here, but other places were not as relaxed and happy. For example, North Korea. The North Korean government in Seoul received a note sent by Xiao Ruxun ten days ago, and then quickly fell into chaos.
They knew that the Daming had changed the emperor. Shen Yicheng quickly told the matter to Korea. King Li Gui of Korea was shocked and immediately expressed his loyalty to the new emperor.
Although this matter also caused controversy in Korea, for example, some people wanted to go to the capital to find out the truth and the fact that Zhu Yijun had abdicated, the controversy was not big. The Koreans did not dare to make irresponsible remarks about the internal affairs of the Daming.
After all, Zhu Yijun was the emperor who ordered the reinforcement of Korea. After the recovery of Korea, a considerable number of people were very grateful to Zhu Yijun. They were not used to this matter.
But King Li Gui of Korea did not think so. What he needed was the approval of the Ming court. He needed the approval of the Ming court to support him.
After the Ren Chen pirate rebellion, his position became unstable, and his prestige plummeted. His rule was in a precarious situation. On the contrary, his son, Light Sea Lord Li Hui, had gained great prestige.
Although the war against Japan was commanded by Xiao Ruxun, Li Hui also helped Xiao Ruxun in the rear with Liu Chenlong, so he had a certain prestige. He was much better than Li Gui who had been hiding under the protection of the Daming.
People's eyes were bright, and they were not blind at all.
After the war, Xiao Ruxun quickly left the capital and went to Myanmar. He did not know that there were people in the imperial court who suggested that Li Hui would be the King of Li Hui of Korea. Li Hui of Korea.
In this situation, although Li of Li Hui of King was firmly, he had Li Hui of King, he of the Nation did not have Li Hui of.
The post-war recovery and a series of other issues required him to worry about. The series of things that happened in Korean society after the war also required him to worry about. He also had to worry about when the Great Ming government would intervene in this matter and push him into a bottomless abyss.
It was not until Shen Yicheng's letter of credence that he saw a glimmer of hope.
He quickly congratulated Zhu Changluo and made himself known to him, laying a foundation for seeking financial support in the future.
However, before he could start asking for financial support, he received news of internal strife in the Daming government. When the news of Xiao Ruxun's northern expedition reached Korea, it was when Xiao Ruxun arrived in Nanjing to offer sacrifices to Zhu Yuanzhang. The emperor and ministers of Korea were shocked.
One group of people thought that Xiao Ruxun was a subject, and how could a subject raise troops against the emperor?
Although it was nominally a crusade against Shen Yicheng, what was the difference between this and a rebellion?
There was also a group of people who had reservations because of Xiao Ruxun's kindness in driving away the Japanese pirates and restoring Korea.
This dispute became more and more intense, and it even developed to the point of whether North Korea should send troops to support Shen Yicheng.
Of course, Li Zhi was happy to see this happen. In his opinion, Xiao Ruxun would definitely not succeed. After all, he was going against the Daming government, and how powerful was the Daming government?
If he extended an olive branch to Shen Yicheng at this time, he would definitely get benefits in the future.
However, before the debate in the court was over, Xiao Ruxun's note arrived.
The Daming government no longer existed, and the Daqin government had replaced it. The emperor and ministers of North Korea had to change their ancestry and become subjects of the Daqin government.
After the news spread in the imperial court, the North Korean imperial court was really in an uproar.
The Daming government was done for?
The Daqin government was established?
Xiao Ruxun actually defeated the Daming government and established a new dynasty?
Why was this the same as the founder of the Lee dynasty, Lee Chenggui?
The Daming government …
The powerful Daming government, the Daming of their sovereign state, the Daming that they had yearned for so much, was gone just like that?
Many people were unable to change their ways of thinking. Unable to accept it, there were people who cried and made a scene. There were also people who got drunk on the streets. There were even people who wanted to hang themselves at home. Fortunately, they were saved by their families and did not die.
These things had nothing to do with Li Zhi for the time being. What Li Zhi needed to consider now was whether to become subjects of the newly established Daqin government.
There was no doubt that this was not only a political issue, but also a moral issue in North Korea.
The Lee family's North Korea had perfectly inherited all the shortcomings of the Daming government, such as partisanship, internal strife, valuing the civil and military affairs, and even more.
Originally, on this big issue, no matter how the Daming government changed, as long as North Korea firmly believed in the word Daming, it could ensure that nothing would happen to it.
But since the word Daming had been changed, whether to change the name or not had obviously become a huge moral issue.
In terms of ethics, North Korea was a subject, and the Daming was the monarch. The subject needed to be loyal to the monarch, not to mention that the monarch had saved the subject's family business not long ago. If the subject didn't express his gratitude, it would be too immoral and unreasonable.
But from a political point of view, the Daming government was no longer there. If they didn't obey the Daqin government that replaced the Daming government, not to mention whether North Korea would still have a protective umbrella in the future, whether North Korea would be deterred by the force of the Daqin would be a very serious problem.
They were very familiar with the usurper. In the past, they had talked and laughed together.
Li Zhi could never forget the young general with a smile on his face.
But now, he seemed to have become his immediate boss.
The emperor of the sovereign state.
This feeling …
The Daming government was the benefactor of North Korea, but Xiao Ruxun was the direct executor. He was also the benefactor of North Korea. Li Zhi had kowtowed to Xiao Ruxun in the past.
Obviously, Li Zhi was caught in a dilemma.
Should he accept the request of the Xiao Clan's Daqin, or should he refuse and wait for the deterrence of the Xiao Clan's Daqin?
The debate in the court was very fierce, and it was impossible to reach a consensus. The good habit of the Daming government's partisanship was carried forward in North Korea. Several parties quickly entered the stage of a struggle from right to wrong. Li Zhi had a headache.
