Chapter 19 In a word, pay for food

Li Erzhan, nominally the judgment of Li Cao, was actually the first minister of the dynasty at this time.

He made great contributions to Gwanghae-kun's removal of the enemy.

With Lear Erzhan's current status, there is no reason to come to the door in person.

Shen Guangxi saw that "He Renjie's" face was wrong, so he asked: "You seem to be a little worried about the arrival of the verdict?" ”

"This person is a dog of King Chaoxian, and he has set off several big prisons. I wonder if this dog feels the danger of being cooked by the king, so he came to you. ”

Yang Chengying frowned slightly.

Hearing him say this, Shen Guangxi's originally plain face set off a trace of worry.

Unexpectedly, "He Renjie" knew the situation of the DPRK and Xian well.

Will he know about my personal relationship with Li Erzhan?

When I was in doubt.

I saw an old man with a white beard and hair in civilian clothes walking in.

He is Li Erzhan.

Shen Guangxi and Yang Chengying did not get up.

Li Erzhan didn't feel anything, stepped forward quickly, and knelt in front of Shen Guangxi.

"Angel save me!"

"Li Jun, please get up quickly."

Shen Guangxi couldn't sit still, and got up to help Li Erzhan up.

Chao Xian is proficient in Chinese, so Yang Chengying can hear clearly without a translator.

Yang Chengying got up and thought, according to historical records, Li Erzhan was facing the upside down Li at this time with Confucianism and Taiwanese advice, could he have come to ask for help? This is a great opportunity for me.

After Li Erzhan saluted Yang Chengying, he said to Shen Guangxi with tears in his eyes: "Angel, I am facing a very embarrassing situation today, and I ask the angel to save me." ”

"What's going on?" Shen Guangxi asked.

"Hey! I fell out with Jin Shanggong, causing the king to no longer trust me as much as he used to. At the instigation of Jin Shanggong, the Confucian scholars rose up one after another to impeach me......"

After listening to Li Erzhan's dictation, Yang Chengying roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

This is the same as recorded in history, Li Erzhan, as the leader of the Xian Dabei faction, supported Gwanghaejun to seize the throne and attacked the enemy with brutal means.

With the overthrow of the enemy, it was time for his "gong dog" to fall.

However, Yang Chengying was more curious about the reason why Li Erzhan was looking for the Ming envoy.

"What do you want us to do?" Yang Chengying took the initiative to ask.

"Ask the angel to say a word to me before the king, to highlight my importance between the two nations. If so, I will surely repay the great kindness of the two of you. ”

Li Erzhan didn't know the bottom of his heart, and replied nervously.

Sure enough, the fat sheep delivered to the door will not be slaughtered in vain.

Thinking of this, Yang Chengying shook his head and said, "Your idea is too naΓ―ve!" ”

Li Erzhan was stunned, "Why did the angel say this?" ”

"In your heart, you believe that the reason for losing power is to offend Jin Shanggong, or the enemy's counterattack, which is a big mistake."

"And what about the real reason?"

"King Xian. You helped him clean up all the enemies, is there any need for you to survive? ”

"This ...... Ah! I'm a fan of the authorities. ”

"Therefore, it is the most important thing to make the king of Chao Xian think that you are still valuable. Of course, we will also mention you in front of the king. ”

"Thank you Angel. But ......" Li Erzhan walked up to Yang Chengying, "how should the minister do this?" ”

Yang Chengying smiled and said nothing.

Li Erzhan understood and hurriedly said: "The angel just bring it up, and I will definitely help the angel achieve it." ”

"To tell you the truth, we are here not only to report success, but also for food and money......

Yang Chengying deliberately did not finish his words.

Li Erzhan was also obedient, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "Although the angel can rest assured, this matter is wrapped up in the minister, and I only ask the angel to teach the minister a way." ”

Yang Chengying still deliberately didn't say anything, but looked at Shen Guangxi.

Shen Guangxi has also had many ups and downs in his career, how could he not understand the meaning of "He Renjie".

I knew that once I opened this mouth, I would be forced to board the same boat. But if you don't speak, your life is in danger.

In the end, Shen Guangxi could only nod his head in agreement.

Seeing that the old acquaintance agreed, Li Erzhan looked at the "one-eyed" Ming envoy with an expectant expression.

Yang Chengying said: "The solution is very simple. Your strength is already in full swing, so it's better to divide a small part of your power and hand it over to your sons and daughters, who are in charge of the government, Park Seungjong. ”

"This ......"

Dividing his own power made Li Erzhan very uncomfortable.

"The Miryang Park clan has long been excluded from the central core, and if you get your decentralization, I will be grateful to you. With him to help you say good things in front of the king, you can deal with the king calmly. ”

"What's the coping method?"

"Show your value, such as cooperating with the Ming army on the front line of Liaoyang to reduce the pressure on the defense of your country's northern border."

"Oh, yes, yes...... I can also help the angels raise money and food by the way. ”

Li Erzhan had a very flexible mind, and suddenly thought of how to use the public party to repay his personal kindness.

"That's right."

Yang Chengying nodded in agreement.

This product is not a good product either, let them fight in their own nests.

Li Erzhan thanked him again and again excitedly, and left happily.

Shen Guangxi couldn't help but look "He Renjie" up and down, and always felt that he was unfathomable, not like a brave man at all.

Before he could speak, Yang Chengying asked, "Li Erzhan and you seem to be very familiar?" ”

"I've been on a few missions, and we've gotten to know each other better." Shen Guangxi replied.

"Oh. Then will you ......?"

"No, it won't. We are now grasshoppers on a rope, and I will not poke you through. ”

"That's good."

Yang Chengying sat back in place, took a sip of wine, and suddenly remembered something.

"Can I be absent as a deputy envoy?" Yang Chengying suddenly asked.

"Why?" Shen Guangxi asked rhetorically.

"I want to leave the royal capital and go to the northern part of Chaoxian, close to some places of the Nu Chief."

"What do you want to do?"

"This ...... With all due respect, I can't tell you. ”

Looking at Yang Chengying's cold eyes, Shen Guangxi closed his mouth.

After a while, Shen Guangxi said, "It can be, but it's ...... Why not wait until the ceremony is over before going? ”

"Time waits for no one!"

This is a true saying.

According to Yang Chengying's speculation, Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, will definitely change his strategy of defending as an offensive after he arrives, and Houjin will make a comeback.

And the Ming army can't defeat Houjin for the time being, and the fall of Liaoyang is a matter of time.

Liaoyang was lost, and the next goal of Houjin was the entire southern Liaoning.

As one of the four guards in southern Liaoning, Jinzhouwei will be gone if he does not try to prepare for the crisis before the crisis comes.

Of course, these words can't be told to Shen Guangxi for the time being.

"I can tell them that you are not accustomed to the soil and cannot participate in the ceremony. But......" Shen Guangxi changed his words, "you are not afraid that I will take the opportunity to tell the king the truth." ”

"King Chao Xian was already in trouble with Da Ming because of the canonization, if there is new trouble, which side do you think Chao Xian will stand on?" Yang Chengying said.

"However, I can also be selfish and tell Learzhan."

"Then my men will cut off your head with their own hands! Even if he couldn't, the thousands of soldiers under their command would do the same. ”

"Is there really a point?"

Shen Guangxi asked inexplicably.

Yang Chengying understood the deep meaning of his words.

"I'll know when you have time to go to Liaodong."

Yang Chengying sighed, "There are wilderness everywhere, hungry people everywhere, and even the bark of trees has been eaten. We are all from Liaodong, and we can't bear to let our homeland fall into the hands of thieves. However, how can you resist the enemy without food. ”

"Be careful on your way. If it's not necessary, try to take the official road. ”

"Thank you."

Yang Chengying left Ning Wanme, Xu Shang and the others, and it was enough for them to deal with Shen Guangxi.

He took a few soldiers of the Tiger Brigade, found the soldier in charge of the military, asked them for a common paperwork, and asked a translator to be a guide.

In the afternoon of the same day, the group left Seoul on horseback and headed for the northern border of Chaoxian.

It borders the Houjin and is full of "rebel troops" who resist the Houjin's killings.

Because Chao Xian was worried about angering Houjin, he did not give them any support for food and grass.

The purpose of Yang Chengying's trip to the northern border this time is to get in touch with them and pave the way for the future.
