Chapter 118: Goryeo is about to change its dynasty
It was the first time that Li Jie was blocked from the door of the Dongnuan Pavilion, and he didn't dare to leave if he wanted to, because who knew if Zhu Yuanzhang would call him in later? So I can only stand outside the door and wait boringly.
However, Li Jie just waited for a while, and saw Zhu Biao also walk out with a depressed face, which made Li Jie also a little funny, and immediately stepped forward and teased: "Your Highness, why did you come out too?" ”
"It's too stuffy in the room, can't I come out to breathe?" Zhu Biao glanced at Li Jie and said, it was shameful enough to be driven out by his father, but Li Jie, the prospective son-in-law, even made fun of him.
"That's a coincidence, the minister also thinks the scenery outside is good!" Li Jie responded with a smile, and then stood beside Zhu Biao and enjoyed the scenery outside with him.
"By the way, Yu Ning apologized to you over there?" Zhu Biao suddenly asked.
"What apologies? The minister had never seen the princess. Li Jie was shocked, but he didn't admit it.
"Don't play stupid with me, you've seen Yuning twice, don't think I don't know anything!" Zhu Biao glared at Li Jie and said, if he didn't even know these things, then he, the prince, would have failed too much.
Li Jie saw that he couldn't hide it, so he had to smile cheekily and said: "Actually, I didn't blame the princess, after all, she is also kind, and I also want to thank the prince!" ”
"Thank me?" Zhu Biao was also a little surprised when he heard this.
"Yes, it is the prince's teaching that allows the princess to be so affectionate and righteous, and marrying such a woman as a wife is really a blessing for the minister!" Li Jie also showed a very sincere expression at the end.
Zhu Biao was even more surprised when he heard Li Jie's words, and immediately looked him up and down a few times, then nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, yes, when my father appointed you as Yuning's concubine, I was still a little unhappy in my heart, but now it seems that you are indeed the most suitable person for Yuning!" ”
"Your Highness Xie's compliment!" Li Jie immediately said happily, and then he looked at the warm pavilion again, and immediately asked curiously, "Your Highness, what do you think Your Majesty and Master Mu will talk about?" ”
Hearing Li Jie's question, Zhu Biao also showed a hesitant look, and only after a while did he speak: "I don't know what to talk about, but my father is old, and sometimes he often recalls the old things of the past, but unfortunately most of the old people of the year are no longer there, Zhang Dingbian is barely one, and his father should talk to him about some previous things." ”
Li Jie's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he looked around and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, I heard that during the Battle of Poyang Lake, Zhang Dingbian almost killed His Majesty's side, if it wasn't for King Kaiping's rescue, Your Majesty would be in danger, is this matter true?" ”
"Of course it's true, my father once told me about the danger at that time, when Zhang Dingbian was standing on the bow of the boat, holding a long knife unstoppable, even the guards around my father were killed by him, thanks to the timely arrival of King Kaiping, an arrow hit Zhang Dingbian in the chest, forcing him to retreat, it can be said that Zhang Dingbian almost completely turned the tide of the battle at that time!"
When Zhu Biao mentioned the fierce battle that year, his face also showed fascination, but unfortunately he was too young back then, so he could only follow Queen Ma to stay in the rear, and he couldn't see the heroic appearance of Zhang Dingbian and Chang Yuchun and others.
When Li Jie heard this, he also showed fascination, but then he suddenly thought that although Zhang Dingbian was old, he still had the courage to be unstoppable, and now only Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting opposite him in the warm pavilion, what if he wanted to be unfavorable to Zhu Yuanzhang?
However, the above idea only flashed in Li Jie's heart, because as long as Zhang Dingbian is not crazy, he will never dare not do anything to Zhu Yuanzhang, after all, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is stable, even if Zhu Yuanzhang dies, it will not shake the Ming Dynasty, and it will also be subject to Zhu Biao's crazy revenge, and then hundreds of thousands of fishermen with nine surnames, as well as Zou Pusheng and others overseas, will all be buried by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"By the way, I heard that there is a change in Goryeo, and it seems to be related to our Daming, I don't know what's going on?" Li Jie suddenly thought of something at this time, so he asked.
Zhang Dingbian and they are going to the Wa Kingdom, and Da Ming is secretly plotting the silver mines of the Wa Kingdom, so that the Goryeo next to it has become very important, during this time Li Jie is also collecting information about Goryeo, and then he was surprised to find that Goryeo is actually in a critical period of changing the dynasty, and even the Goryeo Dynasty is about to end, and it is time for the Joseon Dynasty to appear.
Hearing Li Jie ask about Goryeo, Zhu Biao also smiled proudly: "The matter over there in Goryeo is indeed related to our Ming Dynasty, have you heard of Li Chenggui?" ”
"Of course I know, this person seems to be a powerful minister of Goryeo!" Li Jie was also shocked when he heard Li Chenggui's name, because this guy was the founder of the Lee dynasty in North Korea, and he was very close to the Ming Dynasty.
"Yes, Li Chenggui is actually Cao Cao of Goryeo, and the King of Goryeo has also become a puppet in his hands, and he has already written to our Ming Dynasty to repair it, and his father also attaches great importance to him, and now he only has one chance left, as long as he abolishes the King of Goryeo, our side will immediately recognize his identity!" Zhu Biao said again with a smile, and after speaking, he also told Li Chenggui's identity and origin, and how he made his fortune in Goryeo.
Although Li Chenggui was a Goryeo, his father defected to the Yuan Dynasty and became a thousand households of the Yuan Dynasty, and at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty's control over the border declined, so Li Chenggui's father took refuge in Goryeo and assisted Goryeo in regaining the territory occupied by the Yuan Dynasty, which made their father and son become the high-level leaders of Goryeo.
At that time, although Meng Yuan was driven out of the Central Plains by Zhu Yuanzhang, he still had a lot of influence, and the attitude towards Meng Yuan within Goryeo was not uniform, and some old nobles were born dependent on Meng Yuan, so they advocated friendship with Meng Yuan, while some emerging nobles advocated supporting the Ming Dynasty, and the two sides were in dispute, which made Goryeo also have a split within it.
It was also two years ago that the old aristocratic forces that advocated friendship with Meng Yuan had the upper hand, and they persuaded the king of Goryeo to organize troops to prepare to attack Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, and let Li Chenggui take charge of the army.
Li Chenggui, who monopolized power, also actively befriended the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang also hoped that Liaodong would be stable, so he also wanted to win over Li Chenggui, and the two sides hit it off, which also concluded the beginning of hundreds of years of friendship between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea.
"Interesting, this Li Chenggui will really grasp the opportunity, Goryeo has him in power, no wonder the prince said that Goryeo didn't dare to be disrespectful to our Daming!" After listening to Zhu Biao's story, Li Jie also touched his chin and whispered.
"Don't look at Li Chenggui's monopoly now, it looks like the scenery is infinite, but according to the news we heard, the opposition to him within Goryeo is still not small, so he must also use our strength to suppress the internal opposition, otherwise he would have established himself as the king a long time ago, so why wait until now?" Zhu Biao smiled and spoke again.
Li Jie nodded again when he heard this, this is in line with his perception of international relations, between countries, there are only naked interests, as for the so-called feelings, they may exist between private individuals, but they definitely do not exist between countries.
"Your Royal Highness, even if Li Chenggui doesn't dare to disobey our Ming Dynasty now, but if it goes on for a long time, his descendants may have other thoughts, after all, the mining of silver ore is not a year or two, but a hundred years, and then there will be such a big piece of fat in front of his eyes, maybe someone on the side of Goryeo can't help but take a bite!" Li Jie pondered for a moment before saying again.
"This ......" Zhu Biao also showed a hesitant look when he heard this, Li Jie's words did make sense, after all, the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo were so close, if the Ming Dynasty did not have a strong deterrent means, it was difficult to guarantee that Goryeo would be greedy for silver mines in the future.
"And what do you think should be done?" Zhu Biao pondered for a long time, and finally asked Li Jie.
"In fact, there are many ways to solve this problem, but I don't know which one Your Majesty and His Royal Highness want to use?" Li Jie laughed very thief at this time, in fact, he mentioned that Goryeo was just an introduction, but the real intention was hidden behind!
