Chapter 191 Official Showdown

Li Wei was laughing to the sky. He was using laughter to hide his shock. Although Zhu Di's guess was slightly deviated, it was not his fault. He could not predict the Jingnan, and he could not know that he already knew the trend of history. He guessed his own layout based on speculation and used Zhu Yunwen as a springboard to get to Liaodong. However, his guess was slightly deviated and he thought of Goryeo.

Zhu Di looked at Li Weizheng faintly. He knew that Li Weizheng's dry laughter was to hide his guilt, which means he guessed it. When Li Weizheng's laughter stopped, he continued: "It's nothing if you replace Goryeo, at least I don't care, just like I think it's a pity for Danluo Island to give Goryeo. Many ideas are different from my father and even more different from the current crown prince. Li Weizheng, I always think that we are the same kind of people. If you surrender to me, Zhu Di will support you as the King of Goryeo in the future. I swear to you as the royal family of the Ming Dynasty and will never break my promise."

Zhu Di's voice was not loud and his tone was very gentle, but his words were very heavy. He officially showed up to Li Wei. Zhu Di clapped his hands and the eunuch Ma Sanbao, who was serving him closely, walked in.

Zhu Di glanced at him and said, "Tell me!"

Ma Sanbao bowed to Li Weizheng and said, "Do you remember it? At the beginning of the year, I sent you a letter from His Highness Yan King. I once said, if you agree to the meaning of the letter, you will accept the letter. If you don't agree, you will return the letter to me, but you will accept the letter. Lord, are I right?"

Li Weizheng nodded silently. He accepted the letter. Ma Sanbao bowed again and then stepped down. Zhu Di looked at Li Weizheng coldly. After a long time, he said slowly: "I, Zhu Di's eyes, can never rub any sand. Those who bully me will die. Li Weizheng, let me tell you the truth. If I hadn't seen that you were using Zhu Yunwen, you would have lost your bones. Now I will give you a last chance. Should you return the letter to me, or be sure to accept it."

With a naked threat, he would no longer give Li Weizheng a chance to simulate a sensible opportunity. He would either be loyal to him or his enemy. Li Weizheng sighed softly in his heart. What should come can still be escaped. Zhu Di is Zhu Di. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. This is his king's domineering aura. He no longer hesitates at all and knelt down on one knee and said, "Li Weizheng will be loyal to His Highness King Yan. If there is any false statement, God will not tolerate me."

Zhu Di was overjoyed, and he hurriedly helped Li Wei up and said, "Actually, I know you will surrender to me sooner or later. You and Zhu Yunwen are definitely not from the same place. My left arm is Master Daoyan. From today on, you will be my right arm."

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. The 60,000 Liaodong troops belonged to him from now on. He could no longer help laughing. With a laugh, Yao Guangxiao walked in. He bowed and smiled slightly, "Congratulations to Your Highness."

He looked at Li Weizheng again and suddenly knelt down, "General Li, I had something to be sorry for you in the past, and I sincerely apologize to you."

Li Weizheng knew that he was referring to the fact that he was almost killed by Zhu Yuanzhang last year. He later learned that Yao Guangxiao had once found Fei Tingan's father Fei Tian.

He stabbed himself in the back at the most critical moment, but even if Li Wei was holding a grudge again, he could not show it in front of him.

He also quickly helped Yao Guangxiao up and said sincerely: "Master, Li Weizheng can't bear to kneel down."

"Okay! The generals and ministers are in harmony." Zhu Di felt relieved. He ordered the two of them to sit down and asked his confidant to guard the gate. Then he said to Li Wei: "I will tell you a huge secret first. The emperor fainted from vomiting blood not long ago."

Li Wei was shocked. Zhu Yuanzhang vomited blood. When he came back to meet Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning of the year, he saw that his face turned yellow and thin, and he felt a vague feeling that there was something wrong with his body. Unexpectedly, he vomited blood. Li Wei knew that there was a 31st year of Hongwu in history. Zhu Yuanzhang would not die six years later. But if Zhu Yuanzhang had any cancer, he would not have been able to delay six years, at most one or two years. If this were the case, history would have changed. Will the Jingnan still happen?

He sighed and said, "The emperor has been tirelessly diligent in political affairs for decades, and coupled with the pain of losing his son, how could his body not collapse?"

"Then General Li tell me what the emperor will do next?" Yao Guangxiao asked with a smile.

Just as Li Weizheng was about to speak, he suddenly felt a little moved. He looked up at Yao Guangxiao and found that he was smiling a little unnaturally. At this time, Li Weizheng suddenly realized that the reason why Yao Guangxiao wanted to kill him was out of his jealousy. He was afraid that he would take his position. Zhu Di must have known it, so he said, "Good Generals and Prime Ministers" and made it clear that he was a general and Yao Guangxiao was a prime minister.

Having a clear understanding in his heart, Li Weizheng stopped talking. He shook his head and said, "I can't see it."

"But I can see it." Yao Guangxiao touched his naked chin. Seeing that Li Wei was unable to speak, he smiled proudly and said, "If I guess correctly, the emperor will soon create a major case, kill all the founding heroes who survived the Ming Dynasty and clear the last hidden dangers for his crown prince."

Li Wei was shocked, and he almost blurted out the words "Lan Yu Case". Yao Guangxiao was so powerful that he had predicted the upcoming major case in history. Li Wei Zheng suddenly felt a little dizzy. Who said that the ancients could be bullied?

"Master, why not say it more in detail." Zhu Di asked next to him in a deep voice. It was the first time he heard Yao Guangxiao say this point, and his heart was also filled with shock.

Yao Guangxiao did show his trick in front of Li Weizheng. This inference was finally confirmed half a month ago. He originally wanted to tell Zhu Di, but at this moment Zhu Di decided to subdue Li Weizheng, so he kept a trick and took action when Zhu Di conquered Li Weizheng and stole his limelight.

Yao Guangxiao's move is indeed very clever. Zhu Di has turned his attention to him from the excitement of subduing Li Weizheng. Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands and chanted the Buddha, and then said without any haste: "Actually, I have been confused for a long time. The emperor has been increasing his strength to enthrone the vassal kings over the years, and they all hold heavy troops. Correspondingly, generals such as Lan Yu, Fu Youde, and Feng Sheng were slowly being taken over. Especially after the split of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the pressure in the north of the Ming Dynasty had been significantly weakened, and the role of these generals was gradually lost. Only then did I think of the truth of "the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook", and I remembered that the emperor told the former prince that he would peel off the thorns on the mace for him.

The grandson ascended the throne at a young age. If the emperor's uncle did not accept him and seized the throne, then the world would be Zhu Ming. But if Lan Yu and other ministers were dissatisfied and rebelled to seize the throne, the world would have changed its surname. So I know that before the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor would have to eliminate all founding heroes who had influence in the army to protect Zhu Ming. However, I am not sure how long the emperor took action. Until last month, the emperor suddenly issued an order to go to Fengyang to perform troops, and the emperor vomited blood and fainted. Combined these two news, I understood that the time for the action was after the Fengyang drill, and the first dog to be cooked and slaughtered should be Lan Yu, who can be caught with the evidence of rebellion."

'Gao! It's indeed high!' Li Weizheng couldn't help but applaud. He had a rigorous thinking and had a basis for reasoning. Yao Guangxiao was indeed extraordinary. He nodded and sighed sincerely: "Master's wonderful theory, I feel ashamed of myself. Then ask Master, what should Li Weizheng do next?"

He really wanted to hear Yao Guangxiao's advice, but Yao Guangxiao glanced at Zhu Di and said, "If I suggest General Li continue to be loyal to Zhu Yunwen on the surface, please don't mind your highness."

Zhu Di waved his hand generously and said, "You don't need to doubt people, and you don't doubt people. If I don't believe General Li, I will never tell him the secret of the emperor vomiting blood. The master just says it bluntly."

"Okay! Then I'll say it." Yao Guangxiao solemnly said to Li Wei: "On the surface, General Li must be loyal to the Crown Prince. Don't let him be suspicious. This is the fundamental reason why the emperor is willing to let you lead troops in Liaodong. But I don't know how much the next rebellion case will cause. I am very worried that all the generals who lead troops outside will not be spared. In order to prevent it, General Li would be better able to cause trouble and lead troops to fight during this period to escape this purge."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Weizheng and Zhu Di blurted out almost at the same time: "Battle the Japanese pirates!"

The two looked at each other and laughed together. They were indeed all the people.

Zhu Di has left, but Li Weizheng is in a difficult situation. Many things that unexpected happened today. Zhu Di's employment of people undoubtedly made him feel a silent touch. Although many books say that Zhu Di's success in the Jingshen was a bit lucky and accidental, Li Weizheng now understands that Zhu Di's victory was inevitable. He has all the qualities that an emperor should have, such as being generous, tolerant, cruel, decisive, and good at employing people. It is so difficult for him to steal the Ming Dynasty from him, but things are not absolute. Li Weizheng is no longer the Amon of Wu that he was back then.

But more importantly, he knew history, but Zhu Di didn't.

The "Lan Yu Case" was the first thing he thought of when he entered the Ming Dynasty. Whether he could change the trajectory of history must start with this major case. Li Wei immediately called Shisanlang and Sun Ji and told them in detail about his plan. These two confidants will take on the important task he gave to him.

The two left Liaodong immediately and led their subordinates to go separately.

Although it was still early to be the time for the military exercise, the chessboard had been set up, and all the chess players had already sat down. They began to count their own pieces and think about the layout before the move. The chess players would be three, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and Li Weizheng, and countless pieces, even the future emperor Zhu Yunwen. Just when Li Wei was beginning to lay out his chess in the world, at the end of December of the 25th year of Hongwu, two great good news came one after another. One was that Yang Ertian had failed countless times and finally successfully developed it and fired the gun.
