The so-called method is just spending more money, but the most common method is also the most effective way.

The group of three finally arrived at Seoul before the city gate was closed, although it still experienced some twists and turns, but it was relatively loose compared to the rigorous investigation along the way.

The guards of the Seoul Mansion couldn't imagine that the figure who shocked the entire imperial court dared to come to the Seoul Mansion in a carriage with all his might, unless he was really looking for death.

Since the carriage entered the city, it ran all the way along the main road, and finally stopped in front of a small alley, but by the light of the evening, Shen Wuyan still appreciated the handsomeness of the capital of the Li Dynasty.

Although the Li Dynasty is far from the Ming Dynasty, it is the capital of a country after all, and the gorgeous and luxurious places are obvious in front of you, whether it is a huge palace city or a bustling street market along the street, the well-organized arrangement is always pleasing to the eye.

However, Shen Wuyan didn't care about these at this time, what he needed now was to find the person named Wang Sheng and carefully ask the ins and outs of the matter, so as to wash away this unwarranted guilt.

According to Su Bing's previous words, now the entire Li Dynasty knows that Lord Zhou was killed by a Han man, and under the excitement of the crowd, they have the intention of sending troops to avenge Lord Zhou.

Even with the national strength of the Li Dynasty, he would not dare to rashly send troops to the Ming Dynasty now, but Shen Wuyan was even more worried about the fact that he had learned that the Japanese mission was also going to arrive in the Li Dynasty.

The Li Dynasty was sandwiched between the Ming Dynasty and Japan, which can be described as very strategic, and if Japan wanted to enter the Ming Dynasty, it would inevitably send troops to the Li Dynasty, and the Li Dynasty would be used as a springboard to attack the Ming Dynasty.

In just a few years, a lot has changed in Japan. According to the secret agent sent by the imperial court, that Oda Nobunaga name already has the potential to unify Japan's Warring States.

And the ambition of the wolf son of the Japanese has long had the intention of attacking the Ming Dynasty, and now sending an embassy to visit must be for this matter. Now that Li Chao has torn his face with Daming at another juncture, it will inevitably promote Li Chao's cooperation with Japan.

Although the situation of Japan is terrible, it is not fatal to the Ming Dynasty, but the towns of Liaodong are also really unstable, and Mongolia has been stabilized for a while, but it is also deterred by the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, there is a Jurchen tribe that will rise up at some point, and once the Jurchens rise to power, they will really be even more terrible than the Mongols.

In this way, in fact, the Ming Dynasty is already in danger, so this mission is also meaningful. On the surface, it was said that he was escorting prisoners, but in essence, Da Ming needed to reach an agreement with Li Chao.

If the Ming Dynasty had the Li Dynasty, there would first be a line of defense to block Japan. In addition, it can be contained in the rear of the Jurchens and Mongolia, and once a war breaks out in Liaodong and Liaoxi, it can be contained by the troops of the Li Dynasty.

Therefore, Shen Wuyan knows very well that the key to clearing his name is now, which is already related to the future of the Ming Dynasty, and this does not take into account the movements of the officials in the Ming Capital Committee of the Shen family.

While thinking like this, Su Bing had already come out of the inn, her face was solemn, and then she took out a folded piece of rice paper from her sleeve and handed it to Shen Wuyan, sighing bitterly: "The note he left at the inn said that he would give it to you when you came." ”

Shen Wuyan thought that this Wang Sheng actually had the ability to predict the future, and at the same time hurriedly took the note and flipped it over, then hurriedly tore it off, and then looked up at the strange name of this inn, and then said in a deep voice: "You have to go?" ”

……

There is a huge palace in the north of Seoul Province called Gyeongbokgung Palace.

As the most noble place of the Li Dynasty, it is inhabited by His Majesty of the current dynasty, and it is also the place where the government affairs of the entire imperial court are concentrated.

Today, the Gyeongbokgung Palace Qinzheng Hall has already dispersed, and although the hundred officials are still discussing the fact that the current court leader was killed by a Han man, the situation is still not clear.

In the court of the Li Dynasty, there are Easterners and Westerners, and its Easterners have always advocated friendship with the Ming Dynasty, and the results have been really good in recent years, even if the previous Easterners' backbone Zining Wang was assassinated in the Ming Dynasty, it still does not affect the direction of the Easterners' Party.

Compared with the Dongren Party, although the Westerners have not befriended the Ming Dynasty over the years, they have always respected the Ming Dynasty very much, and they do not have the slightest intention of breaking off diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that since the incident of Yi Sunsin, the attempts of the Westerners who had been hidden for many years have gradually been revealed, and the court has blamed the easterners and officials everywhere, and there is a situation of getting close to the enemies of the Li Dynasty.

However, the Dongren Party has a lot of status in the imperial court in recent years, and His Majesty Li Hao is also close to the Easterners, so he has always been able to suppress some Westerners a little, but since the assassination of Zhou Gan by the Ming delegation in Pyongyang has gradually become difficult to control.

Among its Middle Easterners, there are also many powerful people who are biased towards Westerners, although they will not be at war with the Ming Dynasty, but they are close to the Japanese state.

At this time, in the ideological and political hall behind the Qinzheng Palace, Li Dynasty Emperor Li Hao was slightly tired, he had not slept well these days, and he was a little annoyed by the fierce dispute in the court today.

It's just that things need to be handled properly after all, and the Westerners are still quite powerful after all, even if he is the king of a country, he doesn't want to offend these old guys easily.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Li Hao was still a little helpless, after all, at such a moment, he was still a little reluctant to hand over such a heavy task to him.

"Liu Chenglong......" The voice is a little old, or maybe because he is tired for days, so his voice is not very clear: "I ...... The position of general councillor is entrusted to you...... It's ......."

"Your Majesty doesn't need to say much, we as courtiers should do our best." The person who spoke was a middle-aged man dressed in a Confucian robe, who looked very stern, his face was solemn, and it was obvious that this most prominent position was actually too tricky.

"Even if the Li Dynasty has all kinds of grudges with the Ming Dynasty...... The so-called grievances should be resolved rather than ......" Liu Chenglong shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Li Chao really can't afford to have this enmity with Daming." ”

Li Hao nodded slightly, but there was still some displeasure on his face, secretly thinking in his heart that no matter how bad Li Chao was, he would not be so unbearable, and now Da Ming was trying to win over Li Chao in every possible way.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still said calmly: "What Mr. Liu said is extremely ...... Now the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese missions are all in the pavilion...... I've been dragging on for more than ten days, and I should have ...... something."

Liu Chenglong pondered a little, as if he had already planned for this matter, hugged his fists, and said: "The missions of the two countries are not easy to see now...... If you can drag it, drag it first...... For the sake of today, it is still necessary to resolve the dispute between the DPRK and China...... It's best to find the messenger surnamed Shen......"

"That kid surnamed Shen can really do it." At the mention of this person, Li Hao was obviously a little annoyed, and he said fiercely: "Mr. Zhou is old, how can he do it......
