"Lord Jin, where did that Mr. Li come from, has Lord Jin already inquired into the details?"

Unlike Jin Zongrui, Li Jue has learned to govern the government since he was a child, so he knows very well how grand the Incheon Port business project is that Jin Zongrui said, and once it is completed, its annual income will be extremely considerable, so he asked solemnly after a deep sigh.

Although he was deposed as the prince of the world last time because of the assassination, and was ordered by Li Yuntian to stay at home and think about it behind closed doors, his property was not affected in the slightest, so he had enough financial resources to invest in the construction of Incheon Port.

What made Li Jue feel uneasy was that he was worried that after the construction of the port of Incheon, it was taken away by Mr. Lee, and as a result, he made wedding clothes for others in vain, in the end, he couldn't trust Mr. Lee, and people like Mr. Li had a powerful force behind him, and it was difficult for him to resist once the port was forcibly seized.

"The Maharaja, although the official does not know his details, but he is steady and wealthy, and he is fully capable of running the port by himself, and he doesn't want to involve too much energy in this matter, so he wants to find a collaborator in Seoul."

Jin Zongrui knew Li Jue's worries, so he said after pondering for a while, to be honest, he had a good impression of Li Yuntian, and a person who could casually throw out 25,000 taels of silver would definitely not introduce a collaborator like Li Jue if he didn't want to worry too much about the affairs of Incheon Port.

"Since Lord Jin is so optimistic about this business, then this Lord will meet that Mr. Li." Seeing that Jin Zongrui had a good evaluation of that Mr. Li, Li Jue agreed with a smile after a deep sigh, and his heart was full of expectation.

He knows the huge commercial value of this business, and if the port of Incheon can really be built, then he will be able to make money lying down in the future.

"Okay, then the official will arrange for the Maharaja to meet with Mr. Li." Jin Zongrui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, and bowed to Li Jue with a smile and said, in his opinion, there is no hope for his career anyway, so it is better to be busy with the affairs of Incheon Port, so that it will not be forgotten prematurely.

Most importantly, Kim Jong-seo decided to devote himself to the construction of the port of Incheon because he believed that the construction of the port of Incheon would be a great thing for North Korea and would help the royal family of North Korea.

Otherwise, there is a good chance that Jin Zongrui will sell those lands, after all, he is an official of the imperial court, so he has no interest in doing business, and he will not lower his price for no reason.

Seoul Division.

"Lord Wang, just now Jin Zongrui sent someone to the house outside and sent you an invitation, please go to the banquet tomorrow night!"

When Li Yuntian was checking the map of the eight provinces of North Korea, Yun Na walked in quickly, smiled and put an invitation in her hand on the table in front of Li Yuntian, "It seems that Jin Zongrui persuaded Li Jue, so he invited you to meet." ”

The "house outside" in Yun Na's mouth naturally refers to Li Yuntian's residence in Seoul under the pseudonym "Mr. Li", which is now taken care of by Hongzhu, making outsiders think that "Mr. Li" still lives inside.

"Li Jue must be thinking about a way out in the future, after North Korea is annexed to the Ming Dynasty, the income of the royal family will be greatly reduced, and opening up sources and reducing expenditure has become his top priority!" Li Yuntian took the invitation and looked at it and said with a smile, for Li Jue, the construction of Incheon Port was like a timely rain, which made him a little at a loss and have a new goal in life.

Of course, Li Yuntian hopes that through this incident, Li Jue will let go of the royal monarch's shelf and take the initiative to devote himself to the local construction of North Korea, which is what he wants to see the most.

"Lord Wang, Jin Zongrui will definitely be on the scene at that time, how to bypass him?" Yun Na smiled when she heard this, and then asked in a coquettish voice, it was obvious that Li Yuntian wanted to avoid Jin Zongrui when he met Li Jue.

"You let people tell Jin Zongrui that if he doesn't mind, this king wants to see Li Jue alone tomorrow night, so that some things can be discussed." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and opened his mouth to tell Yun Na, although he used a consultative tone, it was obvious that Jin Zongrui had no room to refuse, so as to avoid meeting Jin Zongrui when he met Li Jue.

"Okay, my subordinates will do it." Yun Na didn't expect Li Yuntian to act so straightforwardly, so she agreed with a smile, this is the most direct and effective method.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, Li Jue would definitely be surprised if he saw him!

Although Jin Zongrui was slightly unhappy that Li Yuntian proposed to see Li Jue alone, he thought about it and thought that Li Yuntian did this reasonably, and if the two of them met, they could talk about anything.

Therefore, Jin Zongrui then informed Li Jue, saying that he would not go to the banquet tomorrow night, and Mr. Li would meet Li Jue alone at that time.

Li Jue didn't have anything to do with this, anyway, he was just meeting with that Mr. Li, whether Jin Zongrui was present or not it didn't matter, and in this way, it would be easy for the two to talk about what they had to say.

The next night, in the private room of a Korean restaurant, Li Jue sat on a chair and waited for Mr. Li to arrive while drinking tea.

However, after weighing left and right, Li Jue gave up this idea and deliberately came early, not wanting to cause any more trouble at this time.

After all, a businessman who dares to run a port business in North Korea is definitely not an idle person, so Li Jue does not want to offend a person with a deep background, which is definitely not a wise move.

What's more, in the construction of Incheon Port, it was Li Jue who asked Mr. Li for help, and it was obvious that Mr. Li could cooperate with many people, so he decided to make a good impression on Mr. Lee.

"Maharaja, I am a step too late, and I hope to forgive my sins." Just when Li Jue was pondering what kind of sacred Mr. Li was, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a personable man walked in surrounded by several attendants, and said to him with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Jue, who was enjoying the performance of the singing and dancing girl, was suddenly slightly stunned, because he was facing the door sideways, so he didn't see the appearance of the person at the first time, but he felt that this voice was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

So, Li Jue turned his head suspiciously to look at the visitor, and when he saw Li Yuntian walking towards him with a smile, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't react for a while, this Mr. Li looks too similar to Prince Zhong, no, it's exactly the same, as if carved out of a mold.

"Maharaja, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed!" Seeing Li Jue staring at him stunned, Li Yuntian was very satisfied with his reaction at this time, so he smiled quietly.

"Wang ...... Wang ...... "Hearing the words "Don't come to harm", Li Jue came back to his senses in an instant, and realized that the person in front of him was the loyal prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he stood up in fright, and he stuttered a little because he was too excited.

"Maharaja, today is just a personal relationship between us, don't be polite." Without waiting for Li Jue to say the word "Ye", Li Yuntian interrupted him with a smile, and deliberately accentuated the pronunciation on the "personal relationship" to remind Li Jue not to tell his identity.

"Mr. Li!" Li Jue is a smart person, so he naturally heard the meaning of Li Yuntian's words, so he hurriedly swallowed back the word "Ye" that came to his mouth, bowed down and said with suppressed excitement, "I don't know that Mr. Li is coming, I miss the welcome, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

In front of Li Yuntian, Li Jue naturally did not dare to call himself "Dajun", so he replaced it with "under him", at this moment, his heart was up and down, no matter what, he didn't expect that Li Yuntian was that Mr. Li.

In this way, Jin Zongrui and Li Yuntian have long had a friendship, but why did Li Yuntian remove Jin Zongrui from his position and make Jin Zongrui idle at home, is it a play for outsiders? But he really couldn't see what the purpose was.

"Maharaja, I don't know how I thought about the proposal below?" Li Yuntian knew that Li Jue would definitely be nervous when he saw him, so he asked with a smile after sitting down at the wine table.

"It's a real honor to be a part of this!" Since Li Jue realized that the development and construction of Incheon Port was Li Yuntian's idea, he naturally did not hesitate any longer, and solemnly stood there and bowed down and said.

"Sit!" Li Yuntian smiled and pointed to the seat in front of Li Jue, and then said, "Great Monarch, with the annexation of Korea to the Ming Dynasty, there will be many once-in-a-lifetime business opportunities in North Korea. ”

"Mr. Xie Li's auspicious words, I remember it below." Li Jue was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he was a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Yuntian to say such a thing, so he bowed to Li Yuntian and replied quietly.

Li Yuntian knew that Li Jue must be very excited now, and in order to ease the somewhat tense situation, he had a homely greeting with Li Jue, which made the atmosphere at the scene much easier.

"Maharaja, Lord Jin doesn't know what is going on, don't leak it to him." When the wine was too drunk, Li Yuntian took advantage of Li Jue's toast to him and said quietly.

"Mr. Li can rest assured that he knows how to do it." Li Jue nodded again and again when he heard this, and his eyes couldn't help flashing a look of surprise, he thought that Jin Zongrui had known Li Yuntian for a long time, but he didn't think that Jin Zongrui didn't know Li Yuntian's identity.

But then Li Jue thought of something, and the doubts in his heart were relieved, if he was not mistaken, when Li Yuntian summoned the officials of the three divisions and one court to discuss the matter, there was no Jin Zongrui, who was the deputy commander of the capital, every time, so it seems that Jin Zongrui really has not seen Li Yuntian.

Thinking of this, Li Jue couldn't help but feel a little emotional, knowing that Jin Zongrui, who is living a little sloppy now, has hit a big luck, it is obvious that Jin Zongrui's recent encounter is that Li Yuntian is beating him, and after Li Yuntian finishes "repairing" Jin Zongrui, he will definitely be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

After the banquet, Li Jue respectfully sent Li Yuntian to the carriage waiting outside the courtyard gate, looked at the back of the carriage for a while, and then left, his steps seemed extremely relaxed.

When the annexation of North Korea to the Ming Dynasty was unstoppable, Li Jue was most worried about the attitude of the Ming court towards the children of the Korean royal family, and he couldn't figure out whether to support or suppress it.

However, after seeing Li Yuntian tonight, Li Jue was relieved, and from Li Yuntian's attitude, he clearly felt that the Ming court would support the Korean royal family, to be exact, Li Yuntian would do this, this is enough, as long as Li Yuntian supports it, then the Korean royal family can gain a foothold in North Korea after the annexation of North Korea into the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, after this meeting with Li Yuntian, Li Jue also has a plan for the future of the Korean royal family, as Li Yuntian said, there will be many business opportunities after North Korea is annexed to the Ming Dynasty, and what he has to do is to grasp those business opportunities and devote himself to the construction of the Korean state.

Although the Korean royal family will lose some of its privileges after the annexation of Korea to the Ming Dynasty, it will also retain some of its privileges, and even obtain new privileges from the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that after meeting Li Yuntian this time, Li Jue's mood suddenly brightened, and not only became a reassuring pill that he did not have to worry about the future fate of the North Korean royal family, but also found a way out for the North Korean royal family and actively devoted himself to the economic construction of the North Korean state.

It is worth mentioning that because it was inconvenient for Li Yuntian to see Li Ji and Huang Xi, Li Yuntian handed over the matter of contacting Li Ji and Huang Xi to join the construction of Incheon Port.

After leaving the restaurant, Li Jue did not go home, but went to Jin Zongrui's house, and selectively told Jin Zongrui about the meeting with Li Yuntian, expressing his willingness to participate in the construction of Incheon Port, which made Jin Zongrui, who had been anxiously waiting for news, relieved, he was really afraid that Li Jue and Mr. Li would collapse.

Li Jue tested Jin Zongrui by knocking on the side, wanting to know if he really didn't know Li Yuntian's identity, judging from Jin Zongrui's reaction, Jin Zongrui was really kept in the dark, which made Li Jue secretly shake his head and smile bitterly, and he didn't know what blessings Jin Zongrui had cultivated in his previous life, and he had such a great luck and won Li Yuntian's favor and respect.

Since Li Yuntian had specially confessed, Li Jue naturally wouldn't tell about this matter, so it was better to wait for Jin Zongrui to find out by himself in the future.

"Lord Wang, those people have been moving more and more frequently recently, and they held a secret meeting tonight, and decided to launch an attack on the office in the near future, in a vain attempt to kill Lord Wang to prevent North Korea from merging into the Ming Dynasty." When Li Yuntian returned to the Hancheng Office of the Lecture Hall, Yun Na came to report with a serious expression.

The people she spoke of were the radical Shaozhuang officials of the Korean state, who were not of high rank but were loyal to the state and could not sit idly by and watch the state of Korea be annexed by the Ming dynasty.

Li Yuntian had long expected that the annexation of North Korea to the Ming Dynasty would arouse opposition from some people, so he had already taken precautions and had already sent additional personnel to monitor the officials of the young Zhuang faction in Seoul, and as a result, he found that someone had a private meeting and conspired to prevent the annexation to the Ming Dynasty.

Those officials of the Shaozhuang faction who secretly met secretly thought that their actions were secretive, but they didn't know that they were already under Li Yuntian's control, and their every move was known to Li Yuntian.

"Is Jin Zongrui too idle these days?" Knowing that those young officials wanted to attack the Hancheng Division of Jiangwutang to get rid of themselves, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth suddenly showed a hint of a smile, and after a deep groan, he smiled at Yun Na, "Tell Cui Yande that the Rui Lu of the Sect is very high, and it is not suitable to be idle at home, let him guard the south gate, if there is a mistake, he will only ask!"

"Lord Wang, Lord Jin is a high-ranking official and dignitary in North Korea, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for him to guard the city gate!" Yun Na was slightly stunned when she heard this, Li Yuntian was undoubtedly a humiliation to Jin Zongrui by doing this.

"If he can't even be a city gate official, how can this king trust him to change his ways?" Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Yun Na meaningfully, "Since even you feel that this king's approach is a bit excessive, then presumably Jin Zongrui will get a lot of people's sympathy!" ”

"Lord Wang, what do you mean...... Lure the snake out of the hole! Hearing this, Yun Na immediately understood Li Yuntian's intentions, and couldn't help but light up.

Obviously, the more severely Li Yuntian abused Jin Zongrui, the more Jin Zongrui could arouse the sympathy of the outside world, and at the same time, he naturally became the target of those Shaozhuang faction officials.

For those officials of the Young Zhuang faction, their qualifications and prestige are too shallow, and someone needs to lead them to complete the great cause of preventing the Korean state from being incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, and Kim Zongrui, who has a very high prestige in the Korean army and opposes the annexation of North Korea to the Ming Dynasty, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

However, Jin Zongrui was a high-ranking official and powerful person in the Korean state, which made those officials of the Shaozhuang faction jealous, worried that he would not break with the Ming Dynasty, after all, Jin Zongrui was much more concerned than them.

Therefore, Li Yuntian decided to push those officials of the Shaozhuang faction and deliberately let Jin Zongrui guard the city gate, so that Jin Zongrui was "humiliated", so as to prompt those officials of the Shaozhuang faction to go to Jin Zongrui.

In this way, Li Yuntian gave Jin Zongrui a choice, his future fate is in Jin Zongrui's own hands, whether to get glory and wealth or go to prison is in his thoughts, it is Li Yuntian's final test for Jin Zongrui, only after passing this test can he be a phoenix nirvana and be reborn from the ashes.

Early the next morning, when Yun Na sent someone to the Yamen to find Cui Yande to explain Li Yuntian's instructions to Jin Zongrui, Cui Yande was stunned.

Although Kim Jong-seo caused an incident in the Seoul Office of Jiangwutang, he was one of the most powerful people in the North Korean political arena after all, and he was also a benchmark figure in the North Korean military circles, so it was probably a little inappropriate to let him guard the city gate.

However, this matter is not something that Cui Yande can control, he is just a person who delivers orders, so he has no choice but to send someone to the Jin Mansion to deliver the order, so that Jin Zongrui will immediately go to the south gate of Seoul to guard and be responsible for the security of the south gate.

Due to Li Jue's decision to participate in the development and construction of Incheon Port, Kim Jong-seo drank some wine in joy last night, so he was still sleeping when the military attache who came to deliver the official document arrived at the Kim Mansion.

Therefore, Jin Zongrui was woken up by the housekeeper to receive the official document of the Dusi Yamen, and when he learned that he was actually sent by the Dusi Yamen to guard the gate of the southern city, he was stunned there, and a cloud of anger immediately rose in his heart, which was simply a humiliation to him.

If it had been left in the past, Kim Jong-rui would definitely have flatly refused to accept this official document, but he had experienced too many things these days and no longer had the previous impulse and anger, not to mention that he still had things to do in Incheon Port, so he took the official document and went to the South Gate to be on duty after experiencing the initial anger, ready to compromise so as not to miss the construction of Incheon Port.
