"Who?" Zhu Youzhen stood up and asked anxiously. Then he asked for the note recorded in Zhou Yanru's hand and looked at it carefully.

"Jade Rope, arrange for someone to bring over the rest of the monitoring records."

The sticky notes were scribbled, and the main thing recorded on them was that a person named Zhao Sancai had reported something to Amin.

…… Fan Wencheng...... Arrange a stealing affair......

…… Father-in-law ...... Kim Things in the back mountains of the palace......

After Zhu Youzhen finished reading it, he easily passed the note to the people around him to watch. Although there are not many languages, combined with the previous discussion, it should be undoubtedly that Houjin is going to do something involving the Korean court in Hanyang.

Zhu Youzhen's current focus is not here, but he is paying attention to the name that Zhao Sancai repeatedly mentioned.

"Fan Wencheng." Zhu Youzhen whispered the name.

"This retainer knows." Come and add quickly.

According to a shopkeeper of the Yongtai Warehouse who is familiar with the minister, he should be one of the several owners of the Yongtai Warehouse. I don't come to the Yongtai warehouse in Hanyang a few times a year, but it should be in Hanyang at the moment. The shopkeeper's complaints always put forward a lot of requests for food purchases every time, which caught them off guard. But who exactly this person is, the minister has never met. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't know what was going on, but Zhu Youzhen knew that he must be planning some big plan with his understanding of Fan Wencheng. Okay, when he suddenly got the information about Fan Wencheng, he felt that the god of luck was on his side.

"That's it!" He clapped his hands.

"Fan Wencheng is a Ming person, and he is also the person who knows the Ming Dynasty best in Houjin, and of course he is also a person who is determined to go to the black for Houjin. This person's ability and harm are not below Huang Taiji. Since he came to Hanyang, he happened to be bumped into by us again. Well, there is a goal for this matter. I'll lay it out briefly. ”

Zhu Youzhen thought about it carefully, although the puppet beads were deflated by Amin and Heji, the function of this cheating artifact still had to be tested again, which was originally his first goal in North Korea this time. Although Fan Wencheng is now in the variable, he still feels that his goal will not change for the time being.

"Zhou Yanru and Lai Shunzhi, your tasks at this stage will not be adjusted too much, and you will still keep track of the Joseon King Li Liang and Hongwenguan in favor of Zheng Jingshi. Hongwenguan agrees that Chung Ching-shi is a typical representative of grassroots civilians who have been promoted to office, and it is also the object of our strong support in North Korea in the future. By supporting the Hongwen Pavilion in favor of Zheng Jingshi's faction, he secretly promoted the movement to hit the aristocratic family. When the situation is stable, the host on the North Korean side will be replaced by Wen Tiren. ”

Wen Tiren looked at him, and there was a little doubt:

"There is still a little doubt here, Your Majesty is still sure that the King of Joseon, Li Liang, can completely turn to us and maintain this relationship?"

This incident talked about Zhu Youzhen's upset. In fact, only Zhu Youzhen knows that the core of his current plan in North Korea revolves around the puppet beads. He touched the puppet bead in his pocket, and if it didn't work, the whole plan was meaningless.

Admitting defeat is painful, especially for Zhu Youzhen now.

Whether it's an institution or a court. Zhu Youzhen knows that the so-called cohesion and centripetal force are all exchanged for the leader leading everyone to a victory in the fog. Whether it's a small victory or a big victory, that's the only foundation for your team.

Otherwise, with such a limited number of puppet beads, how many people can be united?

The puppet bead must have given him the greatest help in the early days, but now, whether it is realistic or forced, he needs to rely on his own strength as much as possible, instead of pinning his hopes on the bead that is not working at this time.

"Old Wen, this matter you mentioned is indeed a key. The resources and capabilities on my side are about five to five to make the Joseon King Li Liang completely fall to our side, and the rest I think we can focus on the eldest son of the Joseon King Li Liang or the great-grandson of Guichengjun Li Xun, Huai Eunjun Li Deren. ”

"Your Majesty means absolute control of North Korea?"

said that it had already been said that this part, Wen Tiren asked more directly.

Zhu Youzhen spread out the entire map of the Ming Dynasty.

"The existing threat to the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than internal and external troubles. The external trouble is not in Mongolia now, let alone in the southeast, but in Houjin. The internal worries are not in natural disasters or in the displaced people, but in the court. Whether it is the cabinet proposed to ensure that the outside world must first be secured, or the military department's plan for 10 years to resist gold. Wen Qing and Jade Rope know where the key is? ”

Zhu Youzhen's visit to the DPRK did not receive the support of either the military department or the cabinet. Everyone felt that His Majesty the Emperor was just a whim, and that it was no better than the existing internal situation or external troubles. Even in this group of North Koreans who have followed them, they have almost no complete understanding.

No one else can be blamed for this incident, but Zhu Youzhen was too convinced and relied on the role of the puppet bead before he came, so he thought about the trip to North Korea too simply. Find a private opportunity to meet the king of Joseon, and then the puppet bead is slapped in, leaving a minister of auxiliary government and liaison, and this matter is so easy to achieve.

So Zhu Youzhen is really not a whim, he is also the result of weighing the pros and cons. Everything else needs to be done carefully, and it takes a long time to see the results, and North Korea is a project that can achieve results in a short period of time.

Who knew that now that it has been made into a sandwich rice, it will have to deal with the waves that Houjin has set off in Hanyang.

"Whether it is the idea put forward by the cabinet or the idea of building a new army by the military department, including Yuan Chonghuan's urgent return, the dusk plan proposed by the official school that Zhou Yanru saw yesterday, or the coastal trade and grain transportation. All these things, please, everybody, are all good. But there is one thing that I can't get over. ”

"But after ten years, Your Majesty thinks the layout time is too long?"

Wen Tiren asked boldly.

But fortunately, these new plans have the interests of Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, the upstarts under Zhu Youzhen. Of course, they were also worried that the imperial decree would change and His Majesty the Emperor would abandon his long-term plans for the sake of immediate interests.

All the failed reforms are nothing more than two reasons, one is the counterattack of the old forces that have passively benefited from them. Fortunately at home, military power is still firmly in the hands of His Majesty, at least for now. The other is that short-term crises disrupt long-term layouts.

The original Zhu Youzhen died on the second reason.
