Kaecheng and Ningjun Mansion, Li Chenggui returned to the study in a huff, grabbed a porcelain on the shelf and smashed it on the ground.

"Phew!" With a crisp sound, the porcelain shattered into countless pieces and splashed everywhere, startling Li Fangyuan, who followed behind, and then he opened his mouth to persuade: "Father, don't be angry, don't be angry!" ”

"How do you say let me be angry, Zheng Mengzhou, an old horseman, is against me, and those officials in the DPRK and China dare to stand on his side, it's just bold!" Li Chenggui slapped the table again angrily in the end, his face full of annoyance.

Today, Lee Sung-gye and Jeong Mong-ju had another violent conflict, and this conflict was also related to Lee Jie , the root cause was that Lee Jie borrowed Jeju Island from Goryeo, and Lee Sung-gye agreed without any consultation, which caused strong opposition from some ministers such as Jeong Mong-ju, so the two of them had a fierce quarrel in front of the king of Goryeo.

"Father, Li Chongren, Li Chongxue, Jin Zhenyang and others are Zheng Mengzhou's accomplices, they are either Zheng Mengzhou's close friends or his disciples, and now they will naturally stand on Zheng Mengzhou's side, but what I am most worried about is the attitude of the king today!" Li Fangyuan suddenly said again with a solemn expression at this time.

"Your Majesty? He's just the king I drew lots, and he's a puppet, so why care about his attitude? When Li Chenggui mentioned the king of Goryeo, he said with a disdainful expression.

At the beginning, Li Chenggui launched a coup d'état with the help of the "Weihua Island Hui Army", and mastered the military and political power of Goryeo in one fell swoop, and at the same time abolished the original king of Goryeo.

It's just that Li Chenggui was not ready to usurp the throne at that time, so he could only select one person from the royal family to inherit the throne, and the method of selection was that Li Chenggui drew lots in front of the throne of Goryeo Taizong, and the result was that Wang Yao, who had a stupid personality, was now the king of Goryeo.

"Father, although Wang Yao is not very smart, he is the king of Goryeo after all, and when you quarreled with Zheng Mengzhou today, Wang Yao actually spoke out in favor of Zheng Mengzhou, so I suspect that he is likely to have reached an agreement with Zheng Mengzhou, plus Zheng Mengzhou secretly contacted Da Ming, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for you, father!" Li Fangyuan said solemnly again, he knew that Li Chenggui had always looked down on Wang Yao, but Wang Yao's identity was too important.

Li Chenggui is not stupid, he ignored Wang Yao, the puppet king of Goryeo, before, but now after being reminded by his son, he couldn't help but gasp, if Wang Yao and Zheng Mengzhou are united, it will be very unfavorable to him!

"Father, we can't wait any longer, we have to take action, otherwise something is likely to happen!" Li Fangyuan immediately persuaded again, since he met Li Jie, he had always had a feeling that the situation inside Goryeo was likely to get worse and worse.

"This ......" Li Chenggui still showed a little hesitation when he heard this, it was not that he didn't want to act, but now he was too hasty, and he didn't have time to prepare, in case something happened during the action, it was likely that he would not be able to end.

"Father, the more you think about it, the more difficult it is to start, I have already found out, Zheng Mengzhou has to pass through a place called Shanzhu Bridge every day, he only needs to ambush a group of men and horses to eradicate him, and then take the opportunity to get rid of his henchmen, and no one in the court will dare to go against you, father!" Li Fangyuan suddenly said murderously at this time.

Hearing his son's simple and crude suggestion, Li Chenggui still couldn't make up his mind, although it was easy to kill Zheng Mengzhou, but there were still many people loyal to the king of Goryeo in Kaesong, and even some generals in the army who were loyal to the king of Goryeo, when he killed Zheng Mengzhou to seize the throne, he would definitely be strongly opposed by these people.

Seeing his father's hesitation, Li Fangyuan also knew what he was worried about, so he persuaded again: "Father, there is an old saying among the Han people, which is called when you are constantly interrupted, you will suffer from future troubles, and now taking advantage of the fact that Zheng Mengzhou and others are not prepared, it is a good time to launch a surprise attack!" ”

When Li Chenggui heard this, he was finally moved, and immediately slapped the table and said: "Okay, you are personally responsible for this matter, you must be foolproof, and I will also send someone to inform the people of the Ming Dynasty, so that they can tell that Li Jie, and let the Ming army enter Kaesong to assist us!" ”

"Let the Ming army come in too?" Li Fangyuan showed a hesitant expression when he heard this, and after a while, he still spoke, "Father, the Ming Dynasty is powerful, and the Ming army is also very strange this time, in case they have bad intentions, let's invite them into Kaecheng again, wouldn't it lead the wolf into the house?" ”

Regarding Li Fangyuan's worries, Li Chenggui waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I have already seen through the Ming Dynasty, their capital is far south of the Yangtze River, and it is already very reluctant to control Liaodong, how can we still have the strength to plot against our Goryeo?" ”

I have to say that Li Chenggui's analysis is very reasonable, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is already too large, and if it expands outward, it can only be maintained by the Mongols by dividing the various khanates, which is obviously contrary to the tradition of the unification of the Central Plains, and the Ming Dynasty has no interests on the side of Goryeo, let alone directly send troops to control Goryeo.

Li Fangyuan also nodded when he heard this, in fact, he just instinctively felt that Li Jie and others were strange, but the Ming were not barbaric Mongols, and they were not as greedy as the Mongols for their territory, as long as they could control the original land of the Central Plains, just like the Tang Dynasty back then, although it was extremely strong, it only destroyed Goguryeo and Baekje, but spared Silla, one of the predecessors of Goryeo.

Thinking of Goguryeo, Li Fangyuan suddenly showed a somewhat greedy look and said again: "Father, Liaodong was originally the homeland of Goguryeo, and our Goryeo was originally the inheritance of Goguryeo, if the Ming Dynasty's control over the frontier is not effective, then can we take the opportunity to recover our homeland?" ”

"This ......" Although Li Chenggui was a little moved when he heard this, his reason still calmed him down and said, "If you use troops openly, it will definitely cause Da Ming's dissatisfaction, but you can act secretly, but this matter is very important, and it is not something we need to consider now, let's solve the immediate threat first!" ”

"The child understands!" Li Fangyuan was also shocked when he heard this, and after speaking, he stood up and said goodbye and left, since his father handed over the assassination of Zheng Mengzhou to himself, then he must be foolproof, otherwise if Zheng Mengzhou escapes, it will be a failure.

After watching his son Li Fang leave, Li Chenggui also immediately called his henchmen, and then whispered a few words in the other party's ear, the other party also immediately understood, and then said goodbye and left, but he did not go to the main gate of the house, but left from a very secret corner gate.

By this time, it was already dark, and a curfew had begun in Kaesong, but this henchman seemed to know the route of the patrol soldiers, and he was very familiar with Kaesong, so it was easy to avoid everyone, and then after passing through the streets, he finally came to a dark alley, and gently knocked on a small door in the innermost part of the alley.

Soon someone opened the small door, and the henchman flashed inside, this is a small courtyard, there is a seemingly ordinary family living in it, the door is opened by the male owner, this henchman relayed Li Chenggui's words to the other party, and after the male owner wrote it down, he also quietly left again.

However, after Li Chenggui's henchmen left, the male owner of the family also immediately came to the wall of his house, and then climbed over the wall, next to it was a large family, the area of the home is quite large, and there are many people in the front yard, but the backyard is very quiet.

"Come in!" A man's voice came from inside, speaking in pure Chinese.

I saw the man push the door in, and then clasped his hands into fists and said in pure Chinese: "My lord, Li Chenggui has just sent someone to send a message, asking us to inform Li Banyu, asking him to keep his original promise and send a large army into Kaesong!" ”

"Sure enough!" The man in the room also raised his head suddenly when he heard this, and under the light of the candlelight, he could see that this man was Jiang Xuan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who had not been seen for a long time, and after Li Jie and they came to Ganghwa Island last time, the others went to Jeju Island, but Jiang Zhen stayed and sneaked into Kaesong to personally take charge of the liaison of the Jinyi Guard.

"My lord, do you want to send someone to inform Li Banyu?" The man who reported the news said again, this person's name is Wang Ming, he is the general banner of Jinyiwei, and he has always been in charge of the intelligence on Goryeo's side, and he usually comes forward to contact Li Chenggui, and even Li Chenggui They don't know that Jiang Cheng, the commander, has also come to Kaesong.

"Have you set a date for your move?" Jiang Zhen pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then asked.

"No, Li Chenggui just said that it is best for us to transfer troops to come within half a month, it is estimated that even if we want to do it, we will have to wait until our army comes to the open sea of Ganghwa Island, and as soon as he makes a move, our army will be able to rush to Kaesong immediately." Wang Ming replied again.

"What about Zheng Mengzhou, have you been contacted?" Jiang Xuan asked again.

"I've been contacted, but Zheng Mengzhou is a high-minded person, and he is only willing to contact our officials in the Ming Dynasty, and he doesn't like to deal with us." Wang Ming was also a little helpless in the end, although they were famous in brocade clothes, they still couldn't get on the stage in the eyes of many people, and even a subject country like Goryeo knew this.

"Hmph, let's see how long he can stay tall!" Jiang Zhen also showed a disdainful expression when he heard this, and then pondered for a moment and said again, "Li Banyu will definitely send someone to inform him, and Zheng Mengzhou's side can't relax, and when Li Chenggui determines the date of the move, he will reveal the news to Zheng Mengzhou, only if the two of them fight thoroughly, we can profit from it!" ”
