Chapter 63: Intrigue and Intrigues

The Li Dynasty mission had already completed its mission, and King Zining, who was sitting idly in the pavilion at this time, was very satisfied. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] Copy URL access

Since he came to the capital, he has become an incompetent person who does not understand state affairs at all, and there are all kinds of insulting behaviors that degrade the national body.

However, he didn't care about this at this time, because he had already succeeded and easily completed the mission.

The Li Dynasty is not very strong, especially compared to the Ming Dynasty, it is really very weak. In addition, in recent years, the Mongols and Jurchens have united, which threatens the comfort of the Li Dynasty.

The various forces in the DPRK and China were inextricably linked with the Jurchens, and most of these people were rebellious, hoping that the Li Dynasty would break with the Ming Dynasty, so that they could usurp the throne with the help of the Jurchen and Mongol forces.

After the emperor of the Li Dynasty noticed all this, he invited him to come and make this trip, but it was also for the Jurchens to see, and also to give the traitors in the court a certain deterrent.

These goals were all achieved with the Ming Emperor last night, and the tribute of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that the Ming Dynasty wanted to add every year was really a great achievement.

Push open the door and stand in the courtyard, looking at the blue sky. King Zining took a deep breath, suddenly remembered another thing, and then asked loudly, "Why didn't you see General Li...... I will return to the DPRK tomorrow, and some things still need to be discussed. ”

The entourage on one side hurriedly walked from the side and said in a low voice: "General Li left early in the morning with Lord Shen of Honglu Temple...... According to the people in the pavilion, it seems that he has gone to the palace. ”

"To the palace?" King Zining's face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "What is he doing in the palace...... He also did not have the qualifications to meet the Ming Emperor...... What exactly is he trying to do? ”

For this General Li, King Zining is no stranger. He has been on the border all these years, and last year Caifeng recalled him to the court, also to escort him to the capital, which is related to his safety along the way.

Along the way, this young general was really very good, and in the face of Jurchen raids again and again, General Li was able to face them calmly. It can be said that General Li was able to reach the capital safely, and General Li contributed a lot.

Now it's all done. It is necessary to discuss the matter of returning to the court. Although there may not be those dangers when they come, it is still necessary to defend yourself after all, at least make a plan.

When asked at this time, I realized that I hadn't seen this General Li for a long time.

After a moment's hesitation, King Zining asked again, "General Li and that Mr. Shen...... But what kind of friendship is there? ”

The entourage was General Li's subordinate, so he knew a lot about these things, but he had to frown at the moment. He smiled bitterly and said, "Return to the prince...... The general is also the first time to come to Daming, and he really doesn't have any friendship with that Mr. Shen......"

King Zining's heart was suddenly full of doubts. Just as he was about to ask again, suddenly a guard hurriedly came in, clenched his fists, and said, "Lord Wang...... The first assistant of the cabinet is a high arch and a high cabinet ......"

Before the guard could finish speaking, King Zining flicked his sleeves and walked quickly towards the front yard, muttering softly, "Gao Ge Lao...... Could it be that something has changed? ”

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, King Zining saw Gao Gong with a hurried face, pacing back and forth in the courtyard. couldn't help but smile, stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Gao Ge Lao...... What happened? ”

Gao Gong immediately returned the salute, and said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong, hasn't the prince heard about it yet?" ”

"What's the big deal?" King Zining still had a smile on his face, but he still muttered in his heart.

Gao Gong motioned for King Zining to come into the house and speak, and sighed bitterly: "General Li assassinated Your Majesty...... Do you know this? ”

"Assassinate Your Majesty?" King Zining's face changed drastically, and he immediately stopped. He muttered, "What is his intention......

Speaking of this, King Zining was busy asking and answering: "How is the situation...... General Lee, where is he at this time? ”

Gao Gong snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "He also wants to assassinate His Majesty...... It has long been taken away by Jinyiwei...... Now I'm afraid I'm already waiting for a big punishment......"

King Zining frowned tightly, and said in a deep voice: "I have nothing to do with this matter, and I ask the elder to take a clear ......."

It was a bit of a surprise to suddenly ask like this. But it really means a lot to him when he asks like this.

King Zining was also very curious at this time, General Li had been arrested for assassinating the emperor, and his envoy should be sent to prison to wait for interrogation. And at this time, why is he safe at this time?

Gao Gong was so shrewd, he could naturally hear the meaning of the other party's words, and hurriedly said: "I naturally know that the prince is innocent." How can you be with such thieves...... This matter seems to be related to Shen Wuyan. ”

"Mr. Shen?" King Zining suddenly showed a trace of concern, and said curiously: "I see that Mr. Shen is quite popular in the court...... Besides, he didn't know General Li before, so it seems unreasonable that this matter has something to do with him. ”

Gao Gong swept over King Zining slightly, and seemed to be secretly thinking about something in his heart, and when the two walked into the hall, Gao Gong said again: "Whether the two of them have old friends, no one can say...... However, the reason why General Li was able to meet His Majesty was single-handedly facilitated by Shen Wuyan. ”

King Zining's face was embarrassed, and he sighed lightly: "I can't say that General Li deceived Mr. Shen with something...... But if it is said that Mr. Shen conspired to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this matter really needs to be investigated......"

Gao Gong snorted lightly and sneered: "Shen Wuyan wolf ambition, how can the prince know...... I have been friends with him for many years, so I naturally know his heart. ”

King Zining saw that Gao Gong thought so, but it was not good to provoke the other party, if he missed the matter next to him, it would be really a trouble, so he had to keep silent at this time.

Gao Gong pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "But I forgot another important thing...... General Lee assassinated His Majesty...... Now the government and the opposition are shaken, and they have demanded a declaration of war on Li Chao......"

"Declaration of war...... King Zining's eyes were solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not easy...... Yes, that's the intention...... In order to make a break between the Ming Dynasty and the Li Dynasty. ”

Seeing that King Zining's face suddenly changed, Gao Gong was also slightly curious, and asked repeatedly, "What is your intention...... What does the prince mean by this? ”

King Zining did not answer Gao Gong's words, but only muttered softly: "If the Ming Dynasty and the Li Dynasty start a war, those rebels in the court will have a chance to take advantage of it...... It's a painstaking ......"

Gao Gong listened to King Zining's self-talk, and roughly had a plan, but he could also guess the reason, his face gradually turned black, and he said coldly: "Once the Ming Dynasty starts a war with the Li Dynasty...... The cheap ones can only be Jurchen and Mongolian. ”

Just as he was pondering with a high arch, he saw King Zining suddenly kneel down in front of him, and said with a bitter face: "Li Dynasty is in danger now...... I can't stand such a toss...... Please also ask the elder of the high pavilion to help me with some ......"

How glorious it is for a prince to kneel in front of officials from other countries like this at this time, and he has made great determination to think about it.

Gao Gong groaned for a while, and then said, "Don't worry, the prince...... I'll go back here and think about countermeasures, this battle is absolutely unbeatable......"

King Zining looked depressed, and it wasn't until Gao Gong left that he got up from the ground with difficulty, and said with a wry smile: "But you can't prevent it...... These traitors are really tough to deal with......"

"It's hard to say a traitor...... Hasn't the prince forgotten how his ancestors stole the country? ”

Listening to this sudden voice, King Zining's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly raised his eyes and said coldly: "Who ......?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a young man in green clothes walking in from outside the hall, his eyes were calm, and he muttered: "How did your ancestor Li Chenggui usurp the throne back then, and how did he become the emperor...... What else to explain below? ”

King Zining is naturally familiar with these things, the ancestor Li Chenggui was originally a Goryeo official, and later, with the help of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, he usurped the throne and changed the name of the country to Korea, which has been a hundred years old.

His pupils shrank, he looked at the young man in Tsing Yi in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, you are also from the traitorous gang?" ”

A smile flashed at the corner of the young man in Tsing Yi's mouth, and he said lightly: "Why is the prince so stubborn...... Let him send troops to the Ming Dynasty, you will be the same prince in the future, why not? ”

King Zining sneered and said disdainfully: "You and other thieves are not ashamed...... and it has been instigated against this king. ”

The young man in Tsing Yi looked at this Zining King blankly, as if admiring a delicate jade, and after a long time, he let out a miserable lament from his throat.

"It's a pity...... The prince has such talent, why is it necessary to be like this...... It's a pity to kill the blame. ”

"You're going to kill me?" King Zining's expression changed greatly, his already red face turned even redder, and he said angrily: "If you want to kill, kill ...... Do it. ”

The young man in Tsing Yi pursed his lips, as if he was a little helpless, and his voice was even more silent: "The prince is so anxious to die...... Then ...... Give you this opportunity......"

The voice was playful, as if he were already a corpse when he looked at the person in front of him. There is no power to resist, even if he is a prince.

As soon as the words fell, he saw a long sword quietly in front of him. King Zining subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the sword came too fast, so he couldn't dodge, and the sword stabbed in the heart.

He grasped the thin blade of the sword with both hands, and a faint voice came from his mouth: "You killed me...... It can't be done......"

The young man in Tsing Yi licked his lips and said with a wry smile: "Kill you...... The emperor's own brother died in the Ming Dynasty...... Unclear ...... How could Li Chao be willing? ”

King Zining couldn't help laughing miserably, and at this moment he finally understood why the other party came to kill him, it was nothing more than to deepen the enmity between the two countries until he could truly break up.

Now the prince of the Li Dynasty, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, died in the Ming Dynasty like this, and the death was not clear, which was enough to shake the officialdom of the Li Dynasty, and after the instigation of people with a heart, he would definitely break with the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, it was only afternoon, and it was not yet dusk, but King Zining's eyes were still red, and he was unwilling, and his hand pressed the wound on his chest tightly, but the blood was gushing like a spring.

Gradually, he realized that he was still a little dizzy, and his fingers barely slid some words on the wall, he didn't want to let his death be meaningless, at least he could save some people.
