The cute president smiled and said, "There is no need for this. Will his age and years of governing experience not be as much as you think?"

Lee Tae-hee nodded, not daring to say anything more.

The cute president smiled and said, "It's not that I won't let you remind your father. The key is that it has no effect, don't worry."

Because according to traditional concepts, as long as North Korea recognizes China as its sovereign state, it is irrelevant to recognize the third country.

And at this time, North Korea still reported to Li Hongzhang that the negotiations on the opening of Hong Kong and Japan had not changed due to the Ganghwa Island Treaty.

This is a violation.

Because North Korea is already a province in China, this is testing the bottom line of a cute president!

However, according to the interpretation of Western international law, the vassal relationship between the two countries is an internal affairs issue, and the recognition of the international community does not directly affect the vassal relationship; if diplomatic negotiations with a third country arise, the recognition of the third country is necessary.

Japan has recognized North Korea's independence, so if there are disputes between Japan and North Korea in the future, Japan will use the interpretation of this international law to oppose China's interference.

Under the careful plan of Japanese diplomats, the future negotiations between Asahija and Japan were negotiated directly, and China really could not participate in it.

Japan's urgent actions to invade North Korea will inevitably force China to adopt a new policy toward North Korea.

Li Hongzhang's basic policy toward North Korea has always been to maintain traditional vassal relations. He neither wants North Korea to be independent nor has the spare time to try to strengthen "socracy sovereignty".

In other words, everything remains the same.

But the times forced China to change its traditional policy toward North Korea.

Policy issues towards North Korea are directly related to diplomacy with Japan.

Li Hongzhang, who actually presided over the matter during Sino-Japanese negotiations, has been adopting a policy of liaison and restraining against Japan since China and Japan signed the Treaty of Revising in 1871, hoping to use the power of the "China-Japan Revising" regulations to restrain Japan's actions and hold on to the fantasy of "unification of the East".

This was obviously caused by ignorance of Japan's aggression policy.

In fact, when signing and revising the regulations, Japan requires "same Western examples", that is, to share the rights and interests seized by Western capitalist countries in China.

Later, Japan sent an envoy to China in 1872 to request amendment of the treaty, focusing on the abolition of Article 2 of the Treaty on the friendship and mutual assistance between the two countries.

These signs indicate that the Japanese comers are not good, and the Westernization Bureaucrats are still kept in the dark and continue to daydream the "unification of the East".

It was not until later that various unpleasant events occurred between China and Japan and that the ambitions of Japan's invasion were exposed that Li Hongzhang began to change his attitude and gradually changed from a joint venture to a defense against Japan.

"President, Li Hongzhang is here." Princess Katrina Kaif said.

The cute CEO nodded, "Let him come in."

Now the cute president's ability to control all kinds of affairs is getting stronger and stronger. He is really calm like a monarch, and an experienced and courageous monarch.

Li Hongzhang bowed, "Your Majesty, I think, is it that besides Dayuanjun and Min Cijin, who are supporting a group of forces in North Korea? In order to avoid the Chinese Military Police Command being troubled by the suppression of bandits every month, and the results have not been very effective."

The cute president's eyes lit up. He has been thinking about this question recently. He nodded and said, "If you continue, I am considering this. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

"Yes! Dayuanjun's brother, Li is Ying's brother, Li Ying the most." Li Hongzhang reminded.

The cute CEO nodded, he knew this Li Xiaoying.

Li Zuiying was born on February 17th in Seoul, the capital of Korea (now Han) in the 13th year of the 20th year of Jiaqing (1815, the 15th year of Chunzu, Korea). He was named Xingyin Jun in the 13th year of the 13th year of the 1833, the 33rd year of Chunzu.

The following year, when King Chunzu died, Li Zui was appointed as the tomb guardian by Queen Chunyuan Jin, and protected Chunzu's tomb for three years.

In the 22nd year of Daoguang (1842, the eighth year of Xianzong of Korea), Li Zui was appointed as the Winter Solstice and the Xie Enzheng, and was sent to China.

During the reign of Jeremiah, Li Zui should have mainly held idle positions in the clan's residence. At that time, Andong Kim controlled the government and was domineering. The clan of Li was oppressed unprecedentedly. Li Zui and his younger brother Xingxuanjun Lee should have been very down-and-out at that time.

It was not until December of the second year of Tongzhi (1863, the 14th year of Zhezong), when Zhezong passed away in December, Queen Shenzhen Zhao ordered Li Shiying's son Li Mingfu (Li Xi), to succeed the king and inherit the throne. Xingyin's king Li Zuiying turned over again.

In April of the fourth year of Tongzhi (1865, the second year of Gaozong), Li Zui was appointed as the capital supervisor to be responsible for the reconstruction of the Jingfu Palace. Later, he served as a general of the Guards, sentenced to the Yi-ban Mansion, and sentenced Zong Zhengqing and other positions.

At that time, Li Xinjun, the younger brother of Xingyin, was regent of the Daemon Lord, but Daemon Lord implemented a dictatorial policy and did not allow anyone to share power through nepotism. Therefore, Li Xinjun never became a high-ranking official.

Li Zuiying's desire for power was very strong. He was not valued when Dayuanjun was in power, and wanted to get high-ranking officials and generous salaries. He was described as "a hungry dog ​​under the kitchen". Dayuanjun never promoted him, so he hated Dayuanjun very much and "had a disagreement with his brother Dayuanjun."

Later, the North Korean princess Min gradually rose and was about to overthrow Daewonjun. Lee Ji-ying immediately defected to Duke Min and was close to Min Sheng-ho, the giant of Min's relatives in the Min family. Min Qian-ho, and often went to and from Daewonjun's residence, Yun-hyun Palace, to spy on the Min family's intelligence.

In the end, in the 12th year of Tongzhi (1873, the tenth year of Gaozong), Queen Min used Choi Yi-hyun's memorial to impeach Dae-wonjun and encouraged Gaozong to announce "in charge of power" and drove away Dae-wonjun. Lee Sook-ying and Min's family also kept instigating him. On November 3, Gaozong announced "in charge of power" and Dae-wonjun collapsed. Lee Sook-ying quickly restored his position as the general of the Huwei.

Later, Lee Sei-ying assisted Queen Min to clear the remnants of the Dae-woong-jun party from the central government and enthroned Queen Min's son Lee Sei-yeon as the prince. Therefore, Lee Sei-ying was appointed prime minister in December of the 13th year of Tongzhi (1874, the 11th year of Emperor Gaozong), and was promoted to the left-wing political party, becoming the core figure of Queen Min's group.

By November of the first year of Guangxu (1875, the 12th year of Emperor Gaozong), Xingyin-jun Lee Sakurai was appointed as the leader of the political affairs, becoming a powerful man below one person and above ten thousand people. Lee Sakurai also became one of the few people in the Joseon Dynasty who ascended the throne as a royal family member in the five hundred years.

Although Xingyin Jun Lee, although he is good at being close to others, his talent is really mediocre. Although he is nominally the prime minister, he is actually controlled by Min Kui-ho, Min Qian-ho and other relatives of Min, and he has no opinion.

Japanese warships entered Ganghua Island and forced North Korea to sign a contract on the grounds of pursuing the "Yunyang Incident".

At this time, public opinion in Korea was boiling, and the North Koreans immediately divided into two factions of peace and war, and argued endlessly. Li Zui, as the leader of the political affairs, seemed to be timid and indecisive when discussing government meetings. Some people asked to fight against Japan, Li Zui said "wei", some people asked to be peace, Li Zui said "wei", some people asked to fight against Japan first, and if they didn't win, they would make peace. Li Zui said "wei", so Li Zui deserved the nickname "weiweizheng".

However, Lee should finally follow Queen Min's decree and agree to the terms proposed by Japan and sign the "Ganghua Treaty" with it. This is the first unequal treaty in the modern history of North Korea.

In fact, Li Xiao had already asked to reconcile with Japan. He had a discussion about the issue of "contracting the letter" with Japan at that time (the refusal to accept the letters of the Meiji government in Japan with the words "Emperor" and "Edict" in the Meiji government of Japan, which led to the tension of relations between Asahi Japan): "The few words in that book are just the title of self-esteem by the ministers of the Qu State, how can I lose it to me? The words of the neighbors are not humble, but the conspiracy is lies in the other, and the absurdity is also lies in the other. After years of stalemate, I will not be able to stop my intention of being content with my own agitation, and I also lack integrity." Therefore, he advocated that "the original letter of the letter was directly supported by the imperial court, and he answered his rebuke and punished him clearly and righteously, and it is in my affairs, so he may be appropriate." He accepted the letter of Japan.

His submissive behavior at the discussion meeting was just a trick of getting along with others and getting along with others. In addition, Li Zuiying's educational level was also relatively low. When he was the chief examiner of the imperial examination, he could not distinguish the quality of the article and could only be admitted by drawing lots. Therefore, when unscientific people heard the news of his examination, they praised him for being honored.

Such a talentless and virtuous man was naturally even more angry when he led the government. Just a few days after Lee Seok was appointed as the government, his mansion was set on fire. Later, it was found that the "fire thief" was Daemon Jun's confidant Shin Cheol-kun, who was also the mastermind who set fire to the Gyeongbok Palace last year and sent bombs to kill Min Sheng-ho's family.

Therefore, the two brothers have a deeper strife.

"I know that Li is the most important thing, he is completely unintelligent." The cute CEO smiled.

"Your Majesty, isn't this his advantage? He has no brains and has the influence of Li Jingying and Min Cijin, a large number of Korean warriors following him, just using his power to greatly weaken the 200,000 to 300,000 people in Dayuanjun and Min Cijin's group. At that time, the Chinese army will eliminate Li Jiuying, who defected to China. Wouldn't it be easy?" Li Hongzhang proudly reported to Meng CEO Chen, but with Li Hongzhang's cunning, his pride will not be shown on his face.

The cute CEO Long Yan was very happy and said with a smile: "Since the teacher has already thought about it, I will do it with all my power. All Chinese diplomacy will be left to the teacher."

When Li Hongzhang saw the Meng CEO say this, he was so excited that he wanted to kneel down and thank him. However, Hua Guo did not kneel down and bowed deeply again, "Yes, I will discuss with the President's Secretariat more. Then, Master, will I go and meet Li the most?"

Li Hongzhang originally wanted to ask the cute CEO to see Li Zuiying in person, but he did not dare to make such a request.

The cute president could understand Li Hongzhang's thoughts and said with a smile: "You can be fully responsible, but I won't see him anymore. You are my teacher, and your status and identity are enough. It will not be a problem to control a Li."

"Yes." Li Hongzhang withdrew, "Emperor."
