CHAPTER XXXIX
Cheng Yun looked at Zhou Siyi suspiciously and said, "A way out? ”
"Yes, sir. It's a way out. A trace of excitement appeared on Zhou Siyi's face, and he obviously got to the point: "The reason why my lord stayed in Goryeo is because the emperor has made you a ****, and you will want to get rid of it quickly." This makes it difficult for you to return to your home and country, and you have no choice but to become a guest in Goryeo. But you can't really get it in Goryeo. Please forgive me for saying that in the eyes of the Goryeo people, you are not only a guest general, but also one of the culprits that caused the collapse of the mountains and rivers of Goryeo today. Of course, this is because the former king made a mistake in judgment and rashly became an enemy of our country, but the reason for this is that you set off a rebellion in Liaodong. Regardless of whether your actions are right or wrong in this matter, you have to admit that there are quite a few Koreans who see you that way. So no matter how loyal you are to the King of Goryeo, the King of Goryeo will never really let go of this matter. Do you admit it about this? ”
Cheng Yun pondered for a moment and nodded.
Zhou Siyi arched his hand and said: "My lord Mingjian, because of this, my emperor noticed this in time, so my emperor **** your charges, and handed over a secret edict to bring to you." First, it is to show the sincerity of this trip, and secondly, it is to thank you for the help of adults. ”
As he spoke, Zhou Siyi took out a letter from his underwear and handed it to Cheng Yun respectfully. Cheng Yun took it and opened the envelope, opened it, and sure enough, all the charges before Cheng Yun were written on it, and it was covered with the emperor's seal.
"From now on, if you step into the territory of our court, you will no longer be a sinner, as long as you have this edict, our court will be open to your lord again." Zhou Siyi said solemnly.
"Are you going to use a divisive meter?" Cheng Yun suddenly closed the edict and said with a fierce look in his eyes.
"My lord, I am disappointed that you understand this. My emperor's intention was just to leave a way out for you. If you are disappointed in your career in Goryeo. Then at least you can go back to your old country to spend your old age in peace. If you can be proud of the spring breeze in Goryeo, then you can keep this edict with you forever and make it a secret that no one knows. ”
Cheng Yun's face did not soften slightly because of this, and said viciously: "How can the old man believe that after accepting this edict, you will not reveal it to His Majesty the King?" ”
Zhou Siyi laughed and said, "My lord is really calculating." Since you can think of this layer. Then listen to the rest of the story, and you will know that if we betray you, you will only cause trouble for ourselves. ”
"The old man listened."
Zhou Siyi said: "The edict to you is just a precautionary measure, in fact, not only do we not want you to return to your homeland because of your career disappointment, but we hope that you can hold real power in Goryeo." If you can secretly join forces with our court, then your real power in Goryeo will be of great benefit to our court. At present, our emperor does not want to use force against Goryeo again, but His Majesty also has his worries, that is, after Goryeo recovers, he may take revenge on our dynasty and stick a knife in the back when our dynasty is at war with Tuqi. However, if you are in control of everything in the Goryeo Dynasty, then you can effectively prevent this from happening. For this reason, Your Majesty instructed that after reaching a tacit agreement with you, Your Excellency. The Andong Metropolitan Protectorate will fully cooperate in its efforts to bring you to the pinnacle of power in Goryeo. ”
"The pinnacle of power?"
"Exactly. For now, looking at the whole of Goryeo, there is probably no one other than the monk Myeongyi who can compete with you for military power, and Goryeo also lacks a leader in terms of power, so this is the perfect time for you to expand your power. If you can bring about peace between the two countries, you will have much more influence in the military and politics. And we will also launch an all-out attack on Gangwon Province before the peace talks, and get rid of the monk Myeongyi. Clear the way for you. Do you think this condition is still satisfactory? ”
Finally, it came to the real purpose. Cheng Yun said secretly in his heart. What a **** edict. Promote peace and support yourself, these are all pretenses, and the real purpose of the Silk Country is to get rid of the enemy of Mingyi with his own hands! This is not only to avenge the death of Hua Meng, but more importantly, to get rid of the characters in Goryeo who may become a threat to the Silk Country!
It's really killing two birds with one stone, and it has won over itself. It can also get rid of the clear meaning, which can indeed eliminate the worries of the silk country to the greatest extent. It is indeed very shrewd in his calculations, and it is beneficial to himself in all aspects, it seems that Liu Yan has really worked hard to end the war this time, but Cheng Yun is more interested in these conditions in addition to killing Mingyi and strengthening his position. Everything else is optional. Since the fundamental purpose of the Silk Country is to get rid of Mingyi, and this point is indeed beneficial to oneself, then you might as well push the boat along the river and use the sword of the Silk Country to get rid of this thorn in your side. As for the rest, now Goryeo is indeed unable to fight anymore, and Chengyun is not without ambition for power, and it is of course good to take this opportunity to develop and grow, but when Goryeo recovers, how he acts depends on his own preferences.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yun finally showed a smile and said: "Lord Zhou is really born with an iron mouth and steel teeth, all aspects of this have been considered for the old man, it seems that the old man really has no reason to refuse this plan." The old man repaired a letter and asked Lord Zhou to transfer it to the saint on his behalf. ”
"No, Adult. Please don't have to fix the book to reply! There are indeed many difficulties and dangers in this trip, and carrying His Majesty's edict is really a helpless move, and there should really be no more chance of any mishap. When the king of Goryeo made a request for peace, the emperor naturally knew that this trip had been successful, and there was no need to take any more risks. ”
"Lord Zhou thinks thoughtfully, and Cheng admires it." Cheng Yun said with a smile on his face, in fact, it was more in line with his wishes not to leave a note.
"So I said goodbye, if the peace negotiation is successful, there will be a time to meet with the adults again." Zhou Siyi stood up and saluted.
Cheng Yun understood the implication of Zhou Siyi's words that he would become a full-time contact with him in the future, this person acted cautiously, and was bold and careful, he was indeed a rare talent, and nodded at the moment: "This is very good, I will not send it far away." ”
After Zhou Siyi left, Cheng Yun twisted his beard and paced in the living room, he thought about this matter carefully, and finally decided that the only loophole in this matter was the edict, as long as this edict was not discovered, then it could be done without knowing it, so he had to hide this edict in the safest place.
Liu Yan, the little emperor, is thoughtful, and it seems that it is more difficult to deal with than his old man, Cheng Yun made a judgment.
Of course, Cheng Yun didn't know that all this, except for the edict, was all from the brain of a bad boy named Wang Hanxin. (To be continued.) )
