In the warm pavilion, although the windows are open and the warm sunlight shines in, the atmosphere is gloomy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhu Di sat by the window, looking at the bare tree trunks in the yard in a daze.

Zhu Song, Zhu Hu, Zhu Neng, Xie Jin, Yao Guangxiao, Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong appeared in the warm pavilion together.

"Brother Four Emperors, long live." Zhu Song and the others saluted Zhu Di in unison.

"Oh, here you are." Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Song and them, threw out a stack of secret letters from the table, and said, "This is what Jinyiwei and Dongchang just brought it, you can see for yourself." ”

There were more than twenty of these small secret letters, and when you opened any of them, the dense small letters in them filled the envelope.

The ministers simply stopped being polite, and each picked up a letter to check it on his own.

The warm pavilion became silent for a while.

After half an hour, the ministers put down the letters in their hands one by one with serious faces.

"It seems that His Royal Highness King Han guessed correctly before, then Li Fangyuan was really grounded in the royal city by Han Dongdao." Yao Guangxiao touched his bald head and said, "Except for the royal capital of Joseon, this news has not spread throughout the whole of North Korea. In other words, most of the ministers in various places don't know about it, so it's difficult to do it now. ”

"No matter who gave the order to the North Korean naval army, in the final analysis, it still attacked our Daming, if we don't say anything, how do the vassal countries around our Daming think of our Daming?"

Zhu Neng doesn't have so many scruples, it doesn't matter who governs North Korea, he can't provoke our Ming Dynasty.

"Brother Hu, what do you think?" Zhu Di asked Zhu Hu.

"Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

Zhu Di's temperament is that the siege is not enough to defend the city, Zhu Di asked Zhu Hu, and he was not surprised to get this answer, "The Korean naval army suddenly attacked our Daming island before, and the Korean naval army was also wiped out by our Daming warships." ”

When he said this, Zhu Hu looked at Zhu Di and said: "In this case, we and North Korea are even, and when the civil strife in North Korea is over, let's decide according to the situation." ”

"Brother thinks otherwise." Zhu Hu's voice landed, and Zhu Song opened his mouth and said: "Since Han Dongdao has banned the king of North Korea, Li Fangyuan, then the courtiers think that we can use the name of the host country as a subordinate country to send troops to North Korea and help Li Fangyuan destroy Han Dongdao and his forces!" ”

"Isn't that thankless?" Zhu Hu was a little incomprehensible, "What if they live or die in North Korea?" When the rebellion in North Korea bears fruit, wouldn't we be able to save a lot of effort by taking action against North Korea again? ”

"That's not right!" Xie Jin frowned and shook his head: "If we wait for the end of the civil strife in North Korea and then we do it against North Korea, what name should we be?" At that time, those Fanbang vassal countries will only say that our Ming is an aggressor, and the etiquette and humility that our Ming has always maintained will be gone! ”

"But there's no reason for us to help North Korea?" Zhu Hu admits that Xie Jin's words are very correct, but he also has his own opinion, "Once you send troops to North Korea, it will not only cost the people and money, but also take a long time, and you may not be able to end the war when you will be able to do it, so ......

"Brother Huanghuang, a North Korea that is completely loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and a North Korea that does not regard our Ming Dynasty as the proprietor at all, if you were to choose, which one would you choose?" Zhu Song directly asked a key question.

Hearing Zhu Song's words, Zhu Hu was suddenly stunned, he suddenly understood, he had just walked into a misunderstanding, only thinking that the Ming Dynasty would have casualties of soldiers, gold, silver, grain and grass because of the war, but he forgot how much a subordinate country had for the Ming Dynasty's annual supply!

With the Korean kingdom's continuous annual supply to the Ming Dynasty, the losses of the war seemed to be worth it.

Besides, in terms of the current military strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is not guaranteed that there will not be many casualties in the war, at best, it is just the loss of some grain, grass, gold and silver.

"Long live, Wei Chen thought that what His Royal Highness King Han said was extremely true." Yang Shiqi stood on Zhu Song's side this time, "With Han Dongdao's despicable nature, once he succeeds in usurping the throne, I am afraid that the land and sea areas bordering North Korea will be difficult for our Ming Dynasty to be peaceful." Rather than doing this, it is better to help North Korea quell the rebellion. ”

"Long live, Wei Chen also agreed with King Han's suggestion." Yang Rong and Xie Jin also nodded.

"Okay, let's do it according to Brother Song's wishes, specifically, let's discuss it slowly." Zhu Di grimaced and nodded silently.

……

A group of people discussed in the warm pavilion until the third watch in the middle of the night.

Zhu Song, who dragged his tired body back to the house, was stopped by Liu Changsheng before he could order his subordinates to prepare hot water for washing.

"What's wrong, Lord Liu?" Zhu Song looked at Liu Changsheng a little strangely and said.

Liu Changsheng said: "Lord Wang, that one is here again, and this time he is crying and crying, and even the guards have several with him." ”

"Oh? You mean Jung-hee? "Zhu Song is not surprised by Li Zhenxi's arrival, it seems that this little girl already knows that his brother Wang was imprisoned in the royal city by Li Fangyuan.

"Lord, is there something happening in the Kingdom of Korea?" Looking at the unsurprised expression on Zhu Song's face, Liu Changsheng seemed to have guessed something.

"Well, the king will tell you about this tomorrow." Zhu Song nodded, "Where was Zhenxi arranged by you?" ”

"The princess arranged the princess in the Jinhua Garden in the middle courtyard, and there are four maids waiting." Liu Changsheng thought for a while and said, "Listen to Princess Zhenxi's meaning, the envoys of the pavilion will leave half of the people at noon today. ”

"Hehe, it seems that these people who didn't go back to North Korea with Han Dongdao are now starting to make up for their original behavior." Zhu Song laughed, "Okay, let's do it first." ”

……

The next day, the sun had just shown a glimmer of light in the sky, and the palace had already become noisy.

It turned out to be the little girl Li Zhenxi, who ran to the small building where Zhu Song lived early in the morning to wait.

"Woo woo woo ......"

As soon as he saw Zhu Song walking downstairs, Li Zhenxi ran to Zhu Song, hugged him, and cried at the same time.

"Yo, girl, why are you crying?" was hugged by the little girl's waist all of a sudden, Zhu Song was embarrassed at first, and then gently patted the little girl's pink back and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry." ”

"Lord, I, my brother...... My brother Wang let Han Dongdao be imprisoned in Wangcheng, you, you must save him! Lee Jung-hee cried like a tearful man, and there was a little hoarseness in his voice.

It can be heard that Lee Jung-hee has cried several times, and he is really sad.

"Don't worry, the news that your brother Wang was banned by Han Dongdao has been received by our Daming." Holding the little girl on a bench, Zhu Song said softly: "In a few days, our Ming Dynasty will send troops to North Korea, kill Han Dongdao, and rescue your brother Wang." ”

"Really, really?" Li Zhenxi looked up at Zhu Song with a sob, and asked.

"Of course it's true, how could this king lie to you?" Zhu Song said: "Maybe you don't know, a few days ago, the navy of your Korean kingdom attacked a small island of our Ming Dynasty, and all the property on the island was plundered by your Korean navy, and the people on the island were also slaughtered......

"Lord Wang, it definitely won't be ordered by Brother Wang." Before Zhu Song finished speaking, Li Zhenxi hurriedly said: "After being rewarded as the king of Joseon by Banzai today, Brother Wang has always been loyal to Daming, and he will never order such a thing." ”

Zhu Song touched the little girl's head and said: "Don't worry, our Daming is not a fool, after the news came back, the imperial court sent someone to North Korea to inquire about the news, and it was precisely because of this investigation that we learned that your brother Wang had been imprisoned by the old guy Han Dongdao." ”

Li Zhenxi's pretty face still had tears on it: "I just don't know if Brother Wang's life is in danger." ”

"You can rest assured."

Zhu Song stretched out his hand and hugged Li Zhenxi on the other side of the bench and said:

"Han Dongdao doesn't dare to hurt your brother's life now, after all, Li Fangyuan is nominally the king of the Korean Kingdom, and at least sixty or seventy percent of the officials in the country are loyal to him, if Han Dongdao dares to hurt your brother's life, I'm afraid that if he wants to control the Korean Kingdom, it will be even more difficult!"
