Chen Sheng was indeed very emotional, when he was in Shenyang, the civil and military officials who came from Beijing around him, everyone said that the prince had a gentle temper, but he was lost to Rouren. Looking at it today, after all, it is still His Majesty's blood and bones, and there is still His Majesty's majestic style in his bones, but there are just some more tricks on the surface.

The emperor should be relieved...... He thought to himself.

"Great! Thanks Marshal. Seeing that Marshal Chen agreed with his plan, the prince was overjoyed. After all, he is still a young man, and he attaches great importance to the evaluation of his elders. "That'...... Then after I arrive in Goryeo, can I just act according to this tune? ”

"Those who are in power are the most resolute, no matter what decision is made, they must stick to the end, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made a plan, then don't wander anymore, just do what you think." Chen Sheng restrained his smile and said to the prince respectfully, "His Royal Highness the prince is extremely intelligent, benevolent and generous, which is really a blessing for my court. ”

"Guogong, don't flatter me anymore, I will ......take it seriously" was praised by him like this, and the prince was a little embarrassed.

The two of them laughed at the same time, and for a while, there was a bit of joy in the room that was not bound by the identities of the two people

…………………………

It was another sunny morning, and the residents of Jinzhou City began to get up one after another and start a new day of busy life.

Golden State was originally a bustling and lively city, but over the years it has grown in size and businessmen from all over the country have gathered. Recently, because the prince visited Liaodong and regarded Jinzhou as a place to stay in the festival, more and more residents from the surrounding area came to see the style of the heavenly family, which made Jinzhou City more and more crowded and prosperous.

However, the prince was busy with affairs, either patrolling all the time, or he had been living in the post house, so he could be seen on the street very rarely, and over time, the common people gathered outside the post house became fewer and fewer, and Jinzhou City and its residents have gradually adapted to the state of the prince's presence in person.

However, the vigilance around the post house has not been relaxed because of this, and the guards around the perimeter are still rotating all day long, guarding this place day and night.

When a carriage approached the inn from the main road outside the inn, it was quickly stopped by the guards. Soon guards entered the carriage and checked the identity of the owner of the carriage for suspicious objects.

After a long time of tossing, the carriage was finally identified and released.

This carriage was carrying Shi Gaoyi, the head of the Han mission in Goryeo, who had come to Jinju City by boat from Goryeo last night, and as soon as he got off the boat, he went to the local yamen overnight to report his identity, and then immediately made a request to meet the prince.

Speaking of which, although he has been serving in Goryeo all these years, but in fact, he has been relying on sea ships to travel between the capital and Goryeo, this is the first time he has come to Liaodong, seeing this prosperous atmosphere that is not inferior to the inland cities, he secretly feels that the new dynasty is indeed blessed.

He had received a secret message from his former colleagues in the foreign affairs department of Gyeongli - just after he had submitted the report accusing the Goryeo lord of being disrespectful to the Han Dynasty to the capital, the Goryeo lord had already complained to His Majesty through the envoy in the Dahan, bitterly denouncing the arrogant and lawless deeds of the mission, so this has become a small public case. At the same time, he also heard that His Majesty had handed over the affairs of Goryeo to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was touring Liaodong.

After getting the news, he couldn't help but hate the lord of Goryeo even more, and then immediately asked the country to go to Liaodong to meet the prince first, and immediately embarked on the journey to Liaodong after getting permission from the country.

His idea was very simple, since this had become a public case, and the crown prince seemed to be the final judge, then he should run to His Royal Highness the crown prince and try to leave a good impression in his heart, as long as the prince had a good impression of him, it would be much easier to get out when the time came.

In this way, with the same strong desire of his colleagues, Shi Gaoyi directly stepped on the sea ship to Jinzhou.

After coming to Jinzhou, he originally thought that the prince was busy with affairs and would have to wait for a while to meet him, but he didn't expect that early this morning, he received a notice that the prince planned to meet him today.

Although there was no other thing mentioned in the notice, Shi Gaoyi, who was old and sophisticated and had been in the officialdom for many years, still felt that something was wrong with his sense of smell that he had cultivated over the years.

Although he is the ambassador of the Han Dynasty to Goryeo, he can only be regarded as a minister of the end compared to His Royal Highness the Prince, and Liaodong is a place where military and political officials gather, and the fact that the prince received him so quickly can only prove that he attaches great importance to the problems of Goryeo and has paid attention to himself.

In normal times, he would be very happy about it, but now he can only feel the lingering pressure.

Of course, there can only be one reason why the crown prince is so concerned about himself, that is, the dispute between the Han mission and the Goryeo royal family has reached the ears of the capital and the royal family, and the above also has some opinions about himself.

That's not a good sign......

This old and sophisticated official had unspeakable uneasiness and apprehension in his heart at this time.

Led by his attendants, he came to the side compartment of the inn, and before he could wait long, the door opened again, and a young man in civilian clothes walked in quickly......

"Shi Gaoyi, head of the envoy in Goryeo, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Shi Gaoyi immediately took a deep look.

"Head Shi, please take a seat." The prince sat down on the whole seat himself, and then motioned for him to sit down as well.

Shi Gaoyi sat down slowly, his expression became more and more solemn, and he could hear the prince's polite attitude of keeping a distance, so he was even more worried.

"Head Shi has come all the way from afar, and he has worked hard. Over the years, Chief Shi has worked hard in Goryeo and has also made a lot of contributions to the country, which can be described as the dry city of the country. Although the prince said these words of praise, his expression was calm, and he could not see any enthusiasm, revealing his true attitude.

"Serving the country is a matter within the minister's duty, how dare you take credit! Not only did it not work, but it caused a mess, but there were. Shi Gaoyi immediately lowered his waist again, "Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness!" ”

"Mess? What mess? The prince seemed to be very curious, and asked directly. Please also tell me more about it. ”

Shi Gaoyi's face was slightly suffocated, he understood that the prince seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the mess he had broken into, so he used this way to warn himself.

"The minister is guilty, please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince!" He stood up directly, and then bent down again, "As the head of the Han Mission, the minister did not let Goryeo obey Tianwei and political communication, but provoked the lord of Goryeo to come to complain, and betrayed the trust of His Majesty and the Prime Minister, which is really a disgrace to the country!" ”

"Okay, Head Shi, sit down, it doesn't have to be like this." Seeing the other party behave like this, the prince's heart was slightly soothed. "The lord of Goryeo was pushed down by a domestic coup d'état before, and he was re-established by my dynasty, and it stands to reason that he has received my great favor, and he should be grateful to Dai De, why did he sue now, why?"

Although he rearranged his clothes when he sat down, Shi Gaoyi was still a little embarrassed, he knew in his heart that the prince seemed to be not easy to fool. After thinking about it for a while, he finally rearranged the wording.

"Li Hui, the lord of Goryeo, can be said to be an eagle who looks at wolves. He was cruel and immediate, and he often punished his subordinates heavily or killed them directly, so when he was in power, he aroused great hatred in the country. He was ousted by a coup d'état, although there were reasons for the rebellion of the ministers and thieves, but it is also a fact that the lord of the country acted perversely to arouse the hatred of his subordinates. After our dynasty re-established him in order to support the discipline, we set up a mission to assist him, on the one hand to protect his personal safety, and on the other hand, to prevent him from continuing to perverse and causing civil unrest. Where to know...... Over the years, we have tried our best to assist the lord, but the lord of the kingdom has accused us of holding too much pressure on him, saying that we are too domineering, ......"

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed, looking very cold.

He deliberately avoided the issue of responsibility on his side, and first attacked the lord of Goryeo, Li Hui, and put forward his old bad deeds, which was to first implant a bad impression of the lord of Goryeo in the prince's heart, and reduce the responsibility of his side as much as possible.

"I heard about the deeds of the lord of Goryeo when I was studying in the study before, and the teacher also used him as a counterexample to remind me that I can't be too harsh and cruel to my subordinates in governing the country, and I think that the lord of the country does have a lot of immorality......" The prince nodded, but he did not object to his statement, "He is the orthodox monarch of Goryeo, and Goryeo is a vassal state of our dynasty, he was rebelled by his subordinates and abolished, of course my dynasty can't ignore it, but when I set him up before, I also made it clear to him that I can't go against the grain anymore......"

The Han himself started from the rebellion in the Ming Dynasty, how many years did Zhao Ziying operate, and finally overthrew and seized the world, what they said "orthodox" and "discipline" sounded very ridiculous, and the restoration of Li Hui was not originally for any orthodox discipline, but to take the opportunity to control Goryeo, but although everyone knew that this was just a fig leaf for interfering in Goryeo's national affairs, but after all, the signboard was a signboard, and it could not be mentioned.

This signboard is very useful, and it can be used as an excuse for the Han Dynasty to intervene in almost all neighboring countries in the future, such as this conquest of Japan, which can play the banner of "restoring discipline for Japan and punishing the ministers who are in turmoil." In the future, it can be done for more countries.

"Yes, we have been telling the lord of the country that water can carry a boat or capsize a boat, and we must not repeat the mistakes of the past, but ...... The nature of the country is easy to change, and the nature of this country is still the nature of a tiger and a wolf after all......" Shi Gaoyi sighed again, "Although the lord of the country was blinded because of the previous changes, but Xiongchai's poisonous temperament has not changed, he just wants to monopolize the power and enjoy the prestige of the year again, he hates us very much now, where would he think how much we helped him back then?" This kind of ungrateful thing is really heart-wrenching to think about. ”

He sighed for a long time, looking both sad and resentful, and extremely aggrieved.

"So, what does Commander Shi mean is that the reason why such a dispute arose was because the lord of Goryeo was suspicious and forgot the favor I gave him back then, and felt that the mission was too constrained on him?" The prince lowered his gaze slightly, and was not moved by Shi Gaoyi's long sigh, "That'...... Is it true that the Goryeo envoy said that the mission acted in a domineering manner, never taking the Goryeo lord and the Goryeo court into account, and forcing the Goryeo people to obey everything, so that the lord and the courtiers dared not speak out? ”

The prince's calm performance once again made Shi Gaoyi's heart sink. He found that although he was only a young man, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was much smarter and more sensitive than he imagined, and he was much calmer and calmer, and he didn't look like a young man at all.

He had heard before that the prince had been taught by various carefully selected teachers in his study, and that he was extremely intelligent in nature and had learned well, and from what he had seen today, these rumors were indeed well-founded.

The prince can learn so well, of course, it is a good thing for the people of the world, but it is a bad thing for Shi Gaoyi now, and the boss who is not easy to fool is what every subordinate is most afraid of.

“…… If you want to say that there is no such thing at all, of course, it will not be ......" After a moment of silence, Shi Gaoyi, who was already sweating slightly on his forehead, replied in a low voice.

At this point, it is of course no longer feasible to completely admit the account and blame it on Li Hui's old man's head, but it can still be avoided. "After the restoration of the lord of Goryeo, because he was already a disabled person and was too unpopular before, in order to let him govern smoothly and not encounter the unfortunate thing of being rebelled again, in accordance with the will of the prime minister and Director Kong, we did our best to assist the lord of Goryeo, but ...... But the prince also knows the character of the lord of the country, and sometimes ...... Sometimes we get too anxious, and we will inevitably provoke ridicule from others......"

"Is it just a substitute for me? Judging from the situation in Goryeo, it is already ignoring the monarch and the imperial court of Goryeo, right? They said that our mission openly ordered the Goryeo court officials and magistrates without consulting the monarch and auxiliary ministers," the crown prince shook his head slightly, not quite believing his words, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"This ...... This one...... Sometimes, right...... After all, many things are more urgent, and it is too late to consult the lord of Goryeo and the auxiliary ministers......" The sweat on Shi Gaoyi's forehead became thicker and thicker, "We don't want to act like this, but we are strictly ordered by the prime minister and Director Kong to make Goryeo and my dynasty act in lockstep, so sometimes I have to be a little anxious......"

"You mean that the prime minister was in too much of a hurry, so he had to forcibly urge the Goryeo monarchs?" The prince remained silent.

The prince's calm attitude invisibly made Shi Gaoyi feel more and more pressured, and he actually had a sense of crampedness when facing the prime minister.

He pulled out the names of the prime minister and Director Kong, originally to be a shield for himself, but the prince didn't seem to accept this at all, and still pressed it, which made him even more flustered.

Of course he didn't dare to continue to pull them to block the arrows, those two were big names in the court, and the responsibility would never fall on them, the more he talked, the more he would be disliked by them, and it was better to take it by himself.

"The minister has no intention of shirking his responsibility, and please ask His Highness to be clear!" He raised his head, "The prime minister and Director Kong are both thinking about the interests of the Han Dynasty, and they do not deliberately bully the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo, but the original intention is to allow my dynasty and Goryeo to share a peaceful rule." It was the people below us who did not implement the intention well, and at the beginning there was some courtesy to the lord of Goryeo, but over time, the ministers became accustomed to the days when they could give orders in Goryeo, and became more and more unscrupulous, so that later they often exceeded their authority and completely ...... This is the responsibility of the ministers themselves, and I ask Your Highness to forgive your sins! ”

Seeing that the other party's attitude was getting lower and lower, and finally admitted that he had done something wrong and asked himself for the guilt, the prince finally relieved his cheeks a lot. He is young, and it is the first time he has come out to do things for his father, and he hates others for disrespecting him the most, treating him as a child, and only thinking about fooling himself, so when Shi Gaoyi flashed words with him just now, he couldn't help but beat the other party, and now it seems that the effect is still very good.

"You're still honest...... My father repeatedly taught me to seek truth from facts, not to try to cover up, and in the end I could only harm others and myself. He has always demanded this from his ministers, and I think so. It's good to honestly admit what you didn't do right, and if you keep dodging and not admitting it, others will only think that you have done everything wrong," the prince straightened his face and unconsciously learned the tone of his teachers, "The Goryeo mission has been stationed in Goryeo for many years, and there are many credits, and it is understandable to do some things wrong, so why bother to cover it up, it will only make people feel that you have not done anything well in Goryeo for many years, but it has given a bad impression......"

There is a lot of credit? In this passage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Shi Gaoyi understood this sentence. It was like a man in the desert who touched a sweet spring, and he suddenly felt that his whole body was much softer.

Judging from the implicit meaning of His Highness's words, he did not completely deny the actions of the Goryeo Mission, but held a positive attitude.

"The day before yesterday, Ji Guogong himself came to me and specifically talked about your Goryeo mission." Before waiting for the other party to reply, the prince continued, "He said that your Goryeo mission has been acting arbitrarily for so many years, but it has always safeguarded the interests of the Han in Goryeo, and in the final analysis, it is also for the Han. Over the years, the trade between the dynasty and Goryeo has increased, and more and more merchants have made their fortunes in Goryeo, which is of course due to you. ”

"Ji Guogong...... Xie Ji Guogong! Shi Gaoyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly thanked the officers of the Goryeo garrison who had been helping him say good things to Ji Guogong. For so many years, he had been courting these military attachés and pleasing them, and now it seems that this was indeed prescient.
