Chapter 951, King Li’s choice

Yamasato Oshima rushed into Shiting, stood in front of Li Xi arrogantly, pointed at Li Xi rudely and shouted: "King Li, what do you want to do? He actually made such a hateful and rebellious act behind his back. Have you forgotten your identity?"

Li Xi's face turned red. Even though he was panicked, he had to be furious in the face of the other party's rude actions. However, before he could speak, Cui Yonglu, who was standing up first and scolded Oshima Yamamasa, said: "Don't be rude, do you know what your identity is? He was rude in front of Li Tai Wang of Tokusu Palace. If you don't apologize, you will definitely report this matter to the Director of the Temple. You will see how you explain to the Emperor!"

Hearing this warning, Yamasato Oshima widened his eyes, his fists clenched in a ball, and the flesh on his face twitched due to the excitement of emotions. Although he knew that at the International Conference in The Hague, Lee Hee Hei secretly sent someone to the Netherlands to seek help from international countries and demanded the cancellation of the relationship between *** and the protector of North Korea, Hiromori Ito, who was the director of North Korea at that time, was angry at Lee Hee, but on the one hand, he was not Hiromori Ito, and on the other hand, Lee Hee is a royal family member, not the King of North Korea at that time, so it is naturally impossible to ignore this link.

After hesitating for a while, Oshima Yamasa took two steps back and bowed respectfully to Li Xi, but the emotion on his face was still a ferocious anger. He asked Li Xi directly in a calm tone: "Your Highness, you must have heard of a telegram sent from Beijing, China to North Korea last night. Here, I would like to solemnly ask Your Highness the King why you have done such a betrayal of the country, nation and your personal identity!"

Li Xi pondered for a while, then looked at Oshima Yama Masano with a pretentious attitude and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Oshima said. I live in Tokusu Palace, just a street away from Mr. Oshima. What I do should be under the witness of Mr. Oshima."

Yamasato Oshima was stunned and asked with a gloomy face: "How could Your Highness the King not know? I'm afraid that it has been circulating in all parts of North Korea for a long time now."

Li Xi looked impatient and asked, "Mr. Oshima, you came here so impulsively. I want to ask you what you are doing and why you are so angry and reckless."

Yashima Masashima said coldly: "In the early morning, a group of treasonists formed the so-called temporary government in Beijing. I must emphasize that this is a treason-made pseudo-government act, which is an evil act of trying to subvert our Great *** Empire."

Li Xi just looked at Oshima Yama Masaru coldly and had no intention of giving a positive answer to this question.

Yamasato Oshima was very dissatisfied with Li Xi's attitude of not answering. He continued to emphasize his tone: "The reason why I came to meet Tai Wang today is because the so-called pseudo-government issued an edict in the telegram. This edict was signed by Tai Wang, you personally and secretly handed over to these traitors. Tai Wang, does your Highness Li, do you have anything to explain about this? I believe that even if the director of the temple heard about this, he would be furious!"

Li Xi's face changed slightly. He tried his best to keep calm, and then said, "Are you sure it was the edict signed by the king himself?"

Yamasato Oshima said loudly: "These traitors actually dare to issue this power through public telegram lines, and they swear to recite the original text of the edict. I naturally have to strictly verify this. In this way, your Highness the King, are you still not worthy of love for this matter?"

Li Xi took a deep breath and said in a retort tone: "I really don't remember this. All the official documents signed by the King will be reviewed by the Gyeongbok Palace, and some documents are sent directly from the Gyeongbok Palace, and I cannot even read them one by one. Regarding what Mr. Oshima said about the provisional government of Beijing and North Korea, I can also tell you very clearly that I have only learned about this from Mr. Oshima today."

When Oshima Yamama heard this, his inner emotions that had already been unable to control himself were originally planned to burst out, but when he thought about it calmly, he felt that he did not need to make things worse. If he did anything unfavorable to Lee Hee now, he would not only be able to reverse the power-up in the early morning, but also aggravate the Koreans' hatred of Japan.

After taking a deep breath, Oshima Yamasara adjusted his attitude, slowly calmed down, and said calmly: "Since His Highness Li is not aware of this at this time, that is to say, the behavior of those traitors in Beijing is purely fabricated, and the edicts they used are even more fake. Such tricky people should be cut into pieces. His Highness Li, are you right?"

Li Xi said ambiguously: "I believe that this matter should be carefully checked. This is the top priority related to the reputation of the royal family and the stability and prosperity of the country."

Yamasato Oshima nodded and said, "What Mr. Li said is that these treacherous and unrelenting people who treacherously made trouble with a poor and backward country are simply fantastic and delusional. What is even more intolerable is that these traitors openly forged the edict of King Li to deceive the ignorant people and attempt to destroy the peace and stability of the country. Since this matter has nothing to do with King Li, then my actions just now are indeed too reckless and impulsive. I will apologize to Mr. Li here first, and I hope that Mr. Li will not keep it in my heart."

Li Xi naturally wouldn't feel it was time to breathe a sigh of relief. After so many years of dealing with people, he had to learn to observe his words and expressions almost every day. Of course, he knew that Oshima Yamasato's apology at this moment was a trap. He pretended to be calm and nodded slowly, and said in a heavy tone: "Okay, I understand."

Yamasato Oshima then said: "Since that's the case, please ask His Highness Li to sign a formal statement, announcing that the electricity from the pseudo-government in Beijing is purely a rumor, and all military operations of the *** team in North Korea in the announcement are invasions, calling on the people of the whole country to resolutely resist foreign invaders and refuse to provide any form of help to the pseudo-government!"

Li Xi swallowed a saliva, and as expected, Oshima Yamasa would never give up on the matter. He immediately fell into a dilemma. Once he signed this statement, it would be a major blow to North Korea's temporary government and a public opinion impact on China's military operations. For him, this would not only reduce the chance of restoring the country's **, but also make his prestige questioned.

Although he was indeed unaware of the matter of the interim government in North Korea, at least the interim government in North Korea did not abandon himself and still advocated himself as the supreme monarch of North Korea. This is why he forged an edict to appeal. If he agreed to Yaya Oshima's request, it would be to give the interests of the family and personal dignity to the powerful. Perhaps the interim government would abolish the monarchy of North Korea in the future and deny his royal status!

"Mr. Oshima," Li Xi coughed and said with a sigh, "I think the friction of the Yalu River is completely avoidable now. We don't need to make this matter worse. It's better..."

"His Highness Li, please don't change the topic. I am just a left-behind position in the Governor's Office of the North Korean Governor's Office. As for the war in Yalu River, it is a matter of concern to the military. I am not concerned about this. As for the matter, some people pretend to be His Highness Li to convey a forged edict and also set up a pseudo-government in Beijing with a high sound. This is a very serious political matter." Oshima Yamasato had known that Li Xi had a ghost in his heart forged. He once again looked stern and said in a threatening tone.

At this time, Cui Yonglu, who was standing aside, quickly gave Li Xi a wink.

Although Li Xi didn't quite understand the meaning of Cui Yonglu's eyes, due to the situation at this moment, coupled with Cui Yonglu's anxious look, he roughly guessed that the other party was asking him to compromise first. Even though he only had Cui Yonglu's confidant around him on weekdays, the problem was that this incident was too serious and he still couldn't make a decision easily.

After a while of silence, when Oshima Yamama was about to question him, Cui Yonglu took the lead and said, "Your Highness, since this matter is so important to Mr. Oshima, we need to act according to the previous convention." He deliberately emphasized the tone of the sentence "Previous convention".

Li Xi gradually realized that after *** occupied North Korea, he had forced himself to sign countless clauses. Since Yamama Oshima did not investigate whether he had written an edict to the Provisional Government of North Korea, he could fully admit that the edict exists, and then declare that the second statement was signed under the threat of the *** people. Although doing so can overcome the current crisis, there are still too many unwilling things in his heart. But after so many years, he has to grit his teeth to do unwilling things.

"Since that's the case, I will arrange for the secretary to draft a statement later and then hand it over to Mr. Oshima for a look. Is it OK?" Li Xi sighed secretly, and then said to Yamama Oshima.

"I feel very relieved that you have such an awareness. However, considering the seriousness of the current situation, I think this statement should be drafted by a special person and then handed it to His Royal Highness for a look. What do you think?" Although Oshima Yamasato ended with a question, his tone was unquestionable and firm.

"But this..." Li Xi had very dissenting about this. Of course, he could imagine what the statement drafted by the *** people would look like. He would definitely build himself into a person who firmly supports the *** Empire and is willing to maintain his identity as a *** royal family. Although this was not out of his own intention, many people at home and abroad would understand the difficulties, but after all, it would have a subtle influence on their status.

"Your Highness the King, is there anything wrong with this?" Oshima Yamasato asked coldly.

Li Xi was hesitant for a moment, but Cui Yonglu, who was standing beside him, quickly gave another wink. Unfortunately, Li Xi did not see this time. In desperation, Cui Yonglu had to take the initiative to take the conversation while Li Xi was silent and said:

"Mr. Oshima is thoughtful, Your Highness, why not follow Mr. Oshima's method!"

"Okay, that's it, you decided." Li Xi glanced at Cui Yonglu, then looked at Yamashima Masasa, and then sighed helplessly.

"It's so good that only when our Great *** Empire is united can we move towards prosperity peacefully and smoothly. I will send someone to send the draft here later. I won't bother His Highness the King now." Oshima Yamasato said cleanly and neatly. After saying this, he bowed slightly and then turned around and left immediately.

After everyone left the back garden, Li Xi could only breathe a sigh of relief, but he suddenly seemed confused. Although this was just one of the many documents he signed under the threat of the people, no matter what, the significance of this time was definitely not as easy as usual to convince himself.

At this time, Cui Yonglu sighed slightly and said earnestly: "Your Highness the King, you don't have to worry too much about this matter. In fact, if the statement drafted by the *** people asked you to sign it only, it would be easier to explain to the world than the Tokushou Palace. The villain believes that whether it is China or the provisional government in Beijing, they will be very clear about your current situation. This statement will never affect their actions, nor will your reputation in North Korea!"

Li Xi smiled bitterly for a moment, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Now China has sent troops, this is a great opportunity for us to restore our country. Unfortunately, I still have to be controlled by the *** people... You won't understand my worries. At this time, I should stand up and stand on the front line of expelling the *** people, and make full contributions to the restoration of the motherland with the provisional government in Beijing, rather than hindering this matter because of the so-called 'forced helpless'!"

Cui Yonglu nodded deeply and said in consolation: "The villain understands, the villain understands His Highness's troubles very much. Perhaps... the villain can try to help His Highness get rid of the current predicament!"

Li Xi was stunned for a moment, turned her head and stared at Cui Yonglu seriously, and even asked impatiently: "Why are you helping me?"

Cui Yonglu said solemnly: "The villain may send someone to inform the Provisional Government and the Chinese about His Highness's situation, hoping that they can find ways to rescue His Highness. Even if they cannot do this, at least they can let the Provisional Government and the Chinese know that the statements announced by His Highness are forced acts, so that people from all sides can further understand His Highness's efforts."

Li Xi pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "This is a good idea. However, after this incident, the *** people will definitely strengthen their surveillance of the Tokushou Palace. It will definitely not be easy to pass this message."
