Chapter 1384: Observing Words and Looks
Overnight, the news of the collusion between the internal guards and the Japanese invaders to attack the office of the Jiangwutang spread throughout Seoul, and the people were shocked by this incident, and no one could believe that the internal guards would collude with the Japanese invaders.
Therefore, the next morning, the streets and alleys were full of people who gathered in groups to discuss the matter, and they were all very indignant at the behavior of Park Liang and others, and regarded them as traitors who had rebelled against the law.
Since Li Yuntian came to Seoul, Seoul has developed rapidly in the past two years, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the market is prosperous and full of vitality.
The people of Seoul naturally know that their current comfortable life is brought by Li Yuntian, so they are invisibly full of good feelings towards Li Yuntian, coupled with the status of the Ming Dynasty, so the people of Seoul are not excluded from joining the Ming Dynasty, which means that they will have a better life in the future.
In fact, there are many small countries around the Ming Dynasty that hope to be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty and then get military and economic help, but unfortunately the Ming Dynasty did not agree.
First, because the Ming Dynasty is a ceremonial state and will not invade other countries, it has some concerns about merging into small neighboring countries, and is afraid of the notoriety of annexing other countries;
Second, after those small countries are merged into the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty needs to allocate a lot of materials and then aid, which is not what those high-ranking officials in the court are willing to see.
The situation of North Korea is very special, it has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it has the closest relationship with the Ming Dynasty, so there is not much resistance to the annexation of Korea to the Ming Dynasty.
What is particularly important is that the money Li Yuntian invested in North Korea came from the martial arts hall and did not touch the interests of the civil official group of the imperial court, so the civil official group naturally did not object, and they were full of food and support to offend Li Yuntian because of this matter.
Therefore, the people of North Korea are very excited and happy to be able to merge into the Ming Dynasty, and if Pu Liang and others ruin this matter, then I am afraid that they will be scolded by the people.
In the morning, in the backyard of the Hancheng Division of the Wutang Lecture Hall, the wing room of Li Yuntian's office.
"Lord Wang, bandit leader Chen Laosan brought it." When Li Yuntian was flipping through the official documents, Yun Na walked in and reported in a coquettish voice.
Hearing this, Li Yuntian put down the briefcase in his hand and Yun Na bowed slightly, and several guards escorted Chen Sangongzi, who was wearing handcuffs and shackles, and kicked him at the crook of his calf, causing him to kneel on the ground.
"I didn't expect Chen Shilang to have such an illegitimate child as you." Li Yuntian glanced at Chen Sangongzi, who was glaring at him viciously, and said quietly, "Chen Shilang is your father, it is understandable that you avenged the king for him, but you actually colluded with the Japanese Kou, it is really a betrayal of your ancestors, and the crime is unforgivable!" ”
"Hmph, for your own selfish interests, under the guise of rectifying the salt affairs of Lianghuai, you designed to overthrow my father, and then monopolized the power of salt affairs, profiting from it, causing our family to be ruined, and I must avenge this revenge."
Chen Sangongzi's emotions suddenly became excited when he heard this, and he wanted to stand up but was held down by the guards on the side, glared at Li Yuntian with hatred and said, "You are no different from my father, you are both thinking about taking money from salt affairs, but you have the support of the emperor behind you, and my father can only die with hatred!" ”
"Nonsense!" Hearing this, Yun Na, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, looked at Chen Sangongzi with a frosty mask and scolded, "The prince rectifies the salt affairs of the two Huai for the country and the people, unlike you and other silverfish who take the opportunity to make profits, and now the salt price of the Ming Dynasty is only about 30% of the past, where does it come to collect money?" ”
"It's just a reputation, you are doing it for the outside world to see, and when the time comes, you will naturally gradually raise the price, there is no cat in this world who does not steal fish!" Hearing this, a disdainful smile flashed at the corner of Chen Sangongzi's mouth, and he said coldly to Yun Na, thinking that Li Yuntian was just putting on a show.
"Hmph, it has been more than ten years since the Lianghuai Salt Road case, during which the price of salt in Daming has been stable, do you think the prince has been acting on the scene for more than ten years?" Yun Na sneered, stared at Chen Sangongzi with a cold expression and asked.
"That's where he goes, when no one pays attention to the salt matter anymore, he can do whatever he wants!" Chen Sangongzi had great hatred for Li Yuntian in his heart, and he had already decided that Li Yuntian was a heinous bad person, so he naturally couldn't listen to Yun Na's words, so he said viciously.
"Strong words, a bunch of nonsense, this official reasoning with you is tantamount to playing the piano to a cow!" Yun Na sneered when she heard this, and turned her head to ignore Chen Sangongzi.
"Chen Laosan, do you know that you made a big mistake when you came to Seoul this time." Li Yuntian didn't care about Chen Sangongzi's words, and after a deep groan, he said quietly.
"Big mistake?" Chen Sangongzi couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and his eyes subconsciously showed a look of doubt, not knowing what Li Yuntian meant by this.
"This king originally thought that Chen Guangzong was dead, and the human head sent by the king of Japan was Chen Guangzong's, but now it seems that this king is wrong, Chen Guangzong is not dead, and there has always been a connection between the two of you."
Li Yuntian stared at Chen Sangongzi and said with a serious expression, "What a plan for Li Daitao, if Chen Guangzong lives in the Wa Kingdom with such peace of mind, he will not expose his tricks, but it's a pity that he hates this king so much, and he is willing to let you assassinate this king, which is really a failure!" ”
"My eldest brother was killed by you a long time ago, and you still don't even let go of a dead person?" Chen Sangongzi was taken aback when he heard this, a panicked look flashed in his eyes, and then he tried to stabilize his flustered mind, and said to Li Yuntian pretending to be calm.
"This king knows that you are the right-hand man of Shanhai Guangxiao, how can Shanhai Guangxiao let you come to Seoul to die in vain?"
Li Yuntian clearly captured the panicked look in Chen Sangongzi's eyes, a conscious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Chen Sangongzi coldly and said, "If this king didn't guess wrong, it must be Chen Guangzong who came forward, Shanhai Guangxiao just let people go, Shanhai Guangxiao needs Chen Guangzong more than you!" ”
"The leader knows that Lao Tzu has a deep blood feud, so he will naturally let Lao Tzu come to take revenge, my eldest brother was killed by you a long time ago, it seems that you are very jealous of my eldest brother, and now you can't forget my eldest brother!"
Chen Sangongzi's face suddenly became even more ugly, and he glared at Li Yuntian viciously and said, "If I give my eldest brother another chance, I will definitely kill you!" ”
"This king used to think it was very strange why the Japanese invaded Seoul to assassinate Jin Zongrui, but now I finally understand that this is designed by Chen Guangzong, in a vain attempt to sow discord between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea."
Li Yuntian ignored Chen Sangongzi's provocation, looked at him expressionlessly and said, "It's a pity that he was disappointed, Jin Zongrui escaped!" ”
"Ridiculous, it's all your imagination!" Chen Sangongzi never expected that Li Yuntian would mention that Jin Zongrui was inexplicably assassinated in Seoul last year, and his face became pale after brushing it, and now the outside world does not know the identity of those assassins at all, and then looked at Li Yuntian with a somewhat hideous face and said, "Don't try to frame us, we didn't assassinate Jin Zongrui at all!" ”
"Your reaction has already told this king the answer, this king must find out Chen Guangzong to make up for the mistake made by this king when he was soft-hearted!" Looking at Chen Sangongzi who was oozing fine beads of sweat on his forehead, Li Yuntian smiled slightly, waved his hand at the guards standing beside him, and motioned for the guards to take Chen Sangongzi down.
The reason why he saw Chen Sangongzi was to ask for proof of Chen Guangzong's life and death, judging from Chen Sangongzi's performance, Chen Guangzong was really not dead, and he had a close relationship with Shanhai Guangxiao.
Chen Sangongzi carried the guards away with a dead face, he finally realized the purpose of Li Yuntian calling him to come at this time, he thought that Li Yuntian wanted to get the information of Shanhai Guangxiao from him, so he leaked Chen Guangzong's news unsuspectingly.
"Lord Wang, since Chen Guangzong has a close relationship with Shanhai Guangxiao, then we can start from Shanhai Guangxiao to check his traces!" After Chen Sangongzi was taken away, Yun Na said to Li Yuntian in a deep voice, she also knew from Chen Sangongzi's reaction that Chen Guangzong was not dead.
"This matter is going on in secret, don't startle the snake." Li Yuntian bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, now that his energy is on the affairs of the DPRK, he does not want to pay attention to Chen Guangzong, and when he deals with the affairs of the Japanese state, he can completely solve Chen Guangzong.
"Subordinates obey!" Yun Na knew what Li Yuntian meant, and bowed and agreed.
"By the way, there will be a banquet in the evening, and this king will shock Jin Zongrui." Li Yuntian picked up the official document on the table and was about to flip through it, when he suddenly remembered something and smiled at Yun Na.
Today, Li Yuntian feels that it is time to see Kim Zongrui, and Kim Zongrui's plan to abandon his family in the North Korean New Army barracks last night to stop Park Liang has already passed Li Yuntian's final assessment and can be given a heavy responsibility.
"My subordinates will let people inform Jin Zongrui." Yun Na knew that Jin Zongrui had suffered a lot this time, so she replied with a smile, he would definitely be surprised when he saw Li Yuntian.
Jin Mansion, back house.
Jin Zongrui paced back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed slightly, after experiencing last night's events, he realized that Li Yuntian was terrible, and he quietly controlled the situation in Seoul, and now thinking about his previous performance, he couldn't help but feel a little palpitating.
If he hadn't met Li Yuntian, I'm afraid he would have lost his life because of his reckless words and deeds, and realized Li Yuntian's forgiveness for his previous actions.
"Father, Lord Zhong sent someone to send an invitation, please come over for a banquet in the evening." At this time, Kim Seung-gyu walked over quickly, holding up an invitation card in his hand and said urgently.
"The prince asked me to go to the banquet?" Jin Zongrui couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and he seemed a little hard to believe it for a while, you must know that he had never seen Li Yuntian since he came to Seoul, let alone going to a banquet.
"Father, the child feels that his father is going to be bitter, and the prince seems to be very satisfied with the choice his father made last night." Kim Seung-gyu's face was filled with excitement, and he said to Kim Jong-seo excitedly, to be honest, he also felt regret and grievances about Kim Jong-seo's resignation.
Jin Zongrui couldn't help but have a look of embarrassment on his face when he heard this, he originally thought that he had taken his career very lightly, but Li Yuntian's banquet caused ripples in his heart, maybe the army was his final destination.
