Chapter 288
It's good that you have someone take them there. The sixth said.
"It's a matter for the minister." Jin Tao hurriedly responded: "I'll just take them with me." ”
"You have more important things to do." The sixth said to Jin Tao: "Last time, thanks to the hospitality of Li Cui and the two gentlemen, according to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, we have to invite it back once." ”
"Yes, yes." Jin Tao was embarrassed: "But Cui Yuanjun has already returned to Anbian Duhu Mansion early this morning, as for Li Yuanjun, he is extremely cautious by nature, since he is already suspicious of the envoy, I am afraid that he will not set foot in the guest house again." ”
"It doesn't matter, it's good to be courteous, it's his business if he doesn't come." Zhu Zhen said lightly: "But we have prepared a feast, someone has to come to eat, right?" Otherwise, isn't it too faceless? ”
"Yes, yes, you can invite a few more ministers of the pro-Ming faction, and they will definitely come." Jin Tao nodded hurriedly, and made another suggestion: "Even if the Goryeo Pro-Ming faction declines, it is still not to be underestimated, if you can get their help, maybe you don't have to go to the point where the fish is dead and the net is broken." ”
"Makes sense." Zhu Zhen asked in a kind manner: "At the reception banquet, where is the Zheng Mengzhou that Li Renren said?" ”
"It's in Kyori." Jin Tao replied: "After returning from the Celestial Empire, he became famous, and now he serves as the chief secretary of Chengjun...... It is similar to the Celestial Empire's Guozi Priest Wine. Because the Confucian scholars of Sungkyunkwan believed in the way of Confucius and Mencius, most of them were pro-Ming faction, and Zheng Mengzhou was also regarded as the leader of the pro-Ming faction. ”
"Why isn't the leader you?" The sixth child will always ask some embarrassing questions.
"Little minister, little minister......" Jin Tao blushed for a while and said, "Not good...... Sociable. ”
"I thought you weren't good at running." Zhu Zhen smiled: "Is it just bad popularity?" ”
"Yes." Jin Tao smiled bitterly and nodded. "The minister is a little arrogant."
"Invite him over for dinner, too." Zhu Zhen then instructed: "Just say that the emperor is very concerned about him, and specially asked us to meet him." ”
"Okay." Jin Tao responded, and said secretly in his heart, didn't you say that the emperor only cares about me?
"There's one more person to please." Zhu Zhen asked again: "Is Li Chenggui in Kaesong?" ”
"Yes. Does the envoy still know about him? Jin Tao said in surprise.
In fact, Li Chenggui has already achieved fame, and he has been awarded the title of the king of the mountain mansion, and he has been appointed as a subordinate to approve things, and he sits in the ninth position in the capital hall.
But the people of the Celestial Empire don't even know Li Renren, how can they know who Li Chenggui is?
"Let's just say that the emperor heard that he is the most powerful anti-Japanese hero in Goryeo, let us meet him, give him a feast, and give a reward." Zhu Zhen said with confidence.
"Oh, that's right." Jin Tao nodded and said, okay, the emperor has another one in his heart. "What about the date?"
"It's better to hit the day than to choose a day, so let's do it today." Zhu Zhen said.
"In such a hurry?" Jin Tao subconsciously said, and quickly explained: "Oh, what does the minister mean, what should I do if the two of you have an appointment today?" ”
"What date is more important than the emperor's feast?" Zhu Zhen put up the shelf of the Heavenly Empire again.
"Alas, all right, I'll go." Jin Tao hurriedly responded, and then left as if he had been pardoned.
~~
Jin Tao instructed his subordinates to take the third and fourth elders and Cai Qianhu to the Taifu Temple for inspection. I hurried to the capital hall to report.
Watching his sedan chair go away, Lin Mi was a little worried: "Aren't you afraid that he will betray us?" ”
"He won't." Zhu Zhen said firmly: "He didn't know that we were actually just here to buy horses, and thought that we were here to investigate the assassination of the King of Goryeo." ”
"So he will think that if we are wiped out in Goryeo, it will be useless for Yi In-ren to put the blame on the Mongols or the Japanese invaders, and then the whole of Goryeo will be buried for us." Lin Mi somewhat understood:
"And he knows too much, and Li Renren will not let him go either."
"That's right." Zhu Zhen bowed his head and said: "So he wants to try his best to avoid this situation and let us leave Goryeo safely." In this way, not only can Goryeo be preserved, but he is also a great achievement. As for whether Li Renren or Cui Ying will be the scapegoat in the end, it has nothing to do with him anyway. ”
"That's what Childe said, you want to separate Li Renren from Goryeo, right?" Lin Mi praised from the bottom of his heart: "It's really to the point." ”
"I dare to let him go back so that he will be convinced of what we say." Zhu Zhen said and turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go and help the fifth brother cook." ”
"Hey, okay." Lin Mi hurriedly followed.
~~
Over there, Jin Tao returned to the capital hall and met Li Renren.
"Why didn't you watch them at the State Guest House, what were you doing here?" Li Renren frowned and asked.
"They want to invite the two gentlemen back." Jin Tao hurriedly replied: "According to the etiquette of the Celestial Empire, you will be invited back the next day after going to the banquet. ”
"Today?" Li Renren was really scared, he hesitated for a while and finally shook his head and said, "Forget it, you can help me find a reason to push it off." ”
also wanted to explain to him: "The old man is not afraid, but he keeps telling lies to them, which is really humiliating." ”
"Understood." Jin Tao said again: "What if they still invite a few people to accompany them?" It can't be everything, right? ”
"Who's hired?"
"Zheng Mengzhou and Li Chenggui." Jin Tao replied.
"Li Chenggui?" Li Renren's reaction was the same as Jin Tao's, he felt that it was normal for the envoy to invite Zheng Mengzhou, and it was strange to invite Li Chenggui.
"The envoy said that the emperor heard that Li Chenggui was a hero of the anti-Japanese war, and ordered them to meet him, give a banquet, and it is said that there will be a royal reward." Jin Tao said.
"Lucky guy." Li Renren muttered, feeling that it was nothing. "See it, you can see it, you can't die if you see it."
"Then the lowly post will go to pass on the royal decree." Jin Tao bowed and said, "Oh yes, the envoy wants to go to the Taifu Temple to inspect today." ”
"Did they go to Taifu Temple?" Li Renren's attention was really attracted to the past.
"Yes." Jin Tao nodded and said: "The court also knows the domineering of the envoys, they said they were going to go, and they couldn't stop it at all, I only asked my subordinates to take them over first, and I came to ask the court lord myself." ”
Saying that, he smiled slyly: "Of course, without me, they can't enter the Taifu Temple." ”
"It doesn't matter, they can go if they like." Li Renren regained his composure.
"What if I see those Yuan people's war horses, and the Yuan people who take care of the horses?" Jin Tao asked in surprise.
"If you see it, you see it." Li Renren said lightly: "Can you still eat them?" ”
"But the envoy will question us." Jin Tao said.
"Then question, it's best to come to the capital hall and scold the old man, the more rude behavior, the better." Li Renren said like a masochist: "In this way, the people of the Ming Dynasty can see clearly the ugly faces of the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”
After a pause, he said faintly: "When the time comes, there will be enough reason to eradicate them." ”
"Yuanjun, have you made up your mind?" Jin Tao looked shocked.
"Not so." Li Renren asked rhetorically, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think Cui Yuanjun suddenly left Beijing because of the Japanese Kou?" ”
"Is it a transfer of troops?" Jin Tao asked with difficulty.
