Rendeok Palace, on the archery range.

Li Chenggui begged the two highnesses not to drive him away.

"Not to drive you away? Are you going to rebel here? Zhu Zhen looked at him coldly and said: "I just said in front of me, 'small is not big, and it is punished by "Spring and Autumn", and I dare to be disobedient later!" ”

"Do you know what it means for the father to be the son and the king to be the minister?" Zhu also echoed from the side.

"Yes, yes, the minister really knows that he is wrong." Li Chenggui couldn't cry and said: "The minister is just begging for mercy from the Heavenly Empire, the two highnesses raise their noble hands, and there is no trace of disobedience!" ”

"Why didn't you ask the people of the Yuan Dynasty to be pitiful?!" Zhu Zhen raised his voice and said.

"They are brutal Tartars, unreasonable." Li Chenggui whispered.

"So you're submissive to the tyrannical Tartars, and you're bargaining with us here, aren't you?" Zhu pointed at him and scolded: "Earth dog, you think a gentleman can deceive him, right? That's a wrong idea, and we're also very arrogant to the small country that plays with us! ”

"Yes, the minister is gone." Li Chenggui hurriedly kowtowed. "What the two highnesses say, the ministers will do it."

"Alas, look at him and blame the pitiful." Zhu Zhen looked at Zhu Dao: "Otherwise, the virgins and widows will be exempted." ”

"Don't, your children are not rare, some are rare." Zhu Da shook his head and said: "Now that we don't fight, our Ming army also has countless singles, waiting for the court to send a daughter-in-law." ”

"Cheng Gui has spoken, let's give him this face." Zhu Zhen sighed and said: "Besides, the forced conscription of people's daughters is too barbaric, we can't be as unprotective as Meng Yuan." ”

"Alas, that's what you've said...... "The third child pouted, no longer objecting.

In fact, this was discussed by the two brothers a long time ago. They knew that this would definitely not pass with their father. The old thieves are so face-saving, if they knew that they let Goryeo sacrifice virgins every year, even widows, they would be able to open their butts.

The reason why I still have to perform like this is nothing more than making cards in the void, and then canceling them, even if it is a concession to Ah Gui.

"Thank you, Your Highness, on behalf of thousands of people in Goryeo, you have kowtowed to the two Highnesses." Sure enough, Li Chenggui had to thank the two highnesses for their kindness.

"I must build a shrine for you, set up an immortal tablet, and let future generations know the kindness of the two highnesses!"

"Now you have an explanation?" Zhu Zhen bent down, took out a handkerchief and handed it to Li Chenggui and said, "There's nothing to worry about, right?" ”

"No, no." Li Chenggui hurriedly took it with both hands, pressed his forehead and said, "It must be done in accordance with the old practice of the Yuan Dynasty." ”

"Okay." Zhu Zhen patted him on the shoulder, and said in a more soothing tone: "Don't worry, Goryeo's situation in the Ming Dynasty will definitely be far better than that of the previous dynasty, and in a few years, the government and the opposition will praise you as an archon...... Oh yes, I don't think I need to be so rigid, I have to let the king of Goryeo be the prime minister of this province, and you can't be it. ”

"Really?" When Li Chenggui heard this, his eyes lit up in an instant, forgetting the previous humiliation and pain. More and more willingly, he wagged his tail and begged for mercy: "The minister dreams of becoming a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, not a courtier of a courtier!" ”

"Of course, no problem." The sixth smiled and said:

"Of course, our Ming Dynasty has abolished the province, and in the future, we should call Goryeo and other places to announce the political envoys."

"So, what kind of promise is this...... What is the difference between the political envoy and the province? Li Chenggui asked hurriedly.

"To put it simply, it is to divide the power of the province into three divisions. The three divisions are the political envoy in charge of government affairs, the procuratorial envoy in charge of criminal names, and the command envoy in charge of military affairs. Political envoys, envoys and commanders are of the same rank and rank, and they are not subordinate to each other, and they all report directly to Nanjing. ”

The sixth asked with a smile: "Let's discuss, what about these three positions, I'll give you three." But you have the most credit, so you choose first. ”

"This ......" Li Chenggui secretly regretted when he heard this, this is much worse than the provincial government.

However, he made it clear that the most important thing now was to exclude the king of Goryeo from the three divisions. In this way, even if the king of Goryeo grows up, he is still an ornament and cannot threaten himself.

Therefore, it is imperative to occupy these three positions as soon as possible. As for which one?

First of all, it can be ruled out as a probationary ......

As for the political envoys and the commanders, one is in charge of the government and the other is in charge of the army, both of which are very important. But whether it is Zheng Mengzhou or Jin Tao, they are all weak scholars, and if they are commanders, they will not be able to take away their military power.

"Then the minister had the courage to choose a political envoy." Li Chenggui said boldly.

"Then who will be the commissioner?" Zhu Zhen was noncommittal, and then asked.

"Zheng Mengzhou Gang is making it clear that he is the right person." Li Chenggui replied.

"What about the commanders? Let Jin Tao serve? Too inappropriate, right? Zhu Zhen frowned slightly.

"Sixth, you forgot? There is one political envoy on the left and one on the left. The sixth man pretended to remind him: "Let Ah Gui be the political envoy of the left and Jin Tao be the political envoy of the right." As for the commanders, I think it is better to send someone from the country to come, so that they can also help Ah Gui and them to be evildoers. ”

"Ah......" Li Chenggui opened his mouth and stammered, only then did he know that he had been tricked by the two highnesses again. They had already expected that they wanted to occupy both ends, so they deliberately let themselves choose, so it was logical to leave the command to the Ming Dynasty.

But how dare he say half a 'no'? I had to smile and say: "This is the best, with the support of the commanders from the Ming Dynasty, what else do we have to be afraid of?" ”

"That's the right attitude." When the brothers saw that the training was successful, they both praised Ah Gui for finally being sensible.

Then Zhu Zhen gave him another reassuring pill and said, "Don't worry, the Celestial Empire will not take advantage of you." The two of us promised you that after you let out the Shuangcheng Governor's Mansion, you will let the imperial court seal your hereditary Hancheng Bo and take the Hanyang area as your fiefdom. ”

"It's not a loss, it's just a bloody gain!" Yi Sung-gye was overjoyed when he arrived, Hanyang is the best land in Goryeo, not only the rare riverside plain of the peninsula, but also located in the heart of the peninsula, whoever controls this place will control the lifeblood of the country. It's worth a lot more than the bitter cold of the northeast.

Because of this, Hanyang has always been the forbidden place of the royal family, and it is one of the small three capitals of Goryeo outside of Kaegyo, known as 'Nanjing'. Of course, now this title is never used again.

If the power of the Li family is moved to Hanyang, then he, Li Chenggui, will be the real master of Goryeo!

Thinking of this, Li Chenggui's face was red for a while, and he kowtowed to the two highnesses again, swearing that he would obey his life and never disobey the two highnesses again, otherwise the heavens and the earth would be destroyed and the whole family would die!

Zhu and Zhu Zhen glanced at each other and knew that it was okay. Ah Gui has been tied to Daming's trouser belt in his life......
