Chapter 5 Goryeo Chaos (2)
It was dawn, and Zhu Zhi had just eaten breakfast, threw away the bowls and chopsticks and ran to the backyard. He did not forget to call Yang Rong by his side. Now the relationship between the two has completely broken through the boundaries of the host and guest. Yang Rong has become Zhu Zhi's confidant like Xiao Chenzi, but Xiao Chenzi has it innately, and Yang Rong has been convinced after all.
Along the way, Zhu Zhi introduced Yang Rong to the adventure last night. Yang Rong frowned as he heard it. Of course, he didn't know the Liaodong strategy that Zhu Zhi was considering, so he would naturally be a little worried. Zhu Zhi said: "Don't be anxious, after seeing this woman, I will know it."
When the two arrived in the backyard, Xiao Chenzi was packing out the breakfast bowls and putting them in the rice basket at the door. Seeing Zhu Zhi, Xiao Chenzi hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Highness, you are awake, but you don't eat the breakfast I gave her." Zhu Zhi said that he knew, so he asked him to stay outside the door and ensure that no one was allowed to approach the house.
Zhu Zhi and Yang Rong came into the room and saw the female assassin huddled in the quilt, facing inside. There were some medicines on the table, as well as the porridge bowl and eggs delivered in the morning.
Zhu Zhi walked to the bed and said, "Are this girl awake?" The assassin did not respond. Zhu Zhi asked a few more questions, but also did not answer. Zhu Zhi gently pulled her body with his hands, but who knew that the woman suddenly turned over and stared at him with alertness.
Zhu Zhi was startled and smiled and said, "It turns out that the girl has woken up long ago. I don't know if she has had breakfast?" The girl seemed to be deliberately closing her mouth hard, looking quite cute, but she still didn't say a word.
Zhu Zhi took medicine and cotton yarn from the table and said to the girl: "Girl, don't worry. If you have malicious intentions, it's not easy to take your life. There is no need to do it now. Come on, let me see what the wound is. It's time to change the medicine." As he said that, Zhu Zhi gently opened the girl's clothes and muttered: "Don't move, don't move."
The girl pushed Zhu Zhi away with her hand and said, "Take your hand away, who wants you to see?" Her face turned red.
Zhu Zhi felt it was quite fun. He saw everything he should have seen last night. Do you still care about this? He said, "Miss, I'm just a doctor. If you don't touch you, how can you change the medicine? How can you recover without changing the medicine?" The girl's expression calmed down, and her eyes were staring at Yang Rong standing behind her. Zhu Zhi immediately understood and turned around and gave a wink. Yang Rong turned around and pushed the door out.
Zhu Zhi said again: "I'm sorry, I don't think about it, it's OK." The girl's face turned red and closed her eyes. Zhu Zhi was not polite. She opened the gauze and the wound was healed a lot, but it was still red and swollen. Zhu Zhi cleaned the wound with salt water, applied some gold-invasive medicine to her, and then re-banded it with new cotton yarn. The whole process Zhu Zhi tried to put it lightly, but the girl still bit her lips tightly and didn't say a word, which seemed to be very painful.
After bandaging, Zhu Zhi put the medicine on the table, picked up the porridge bowl and sat on the edge of the bed, and said, "People are iron rice and steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will feel nervous. Come and eat a few bites. How fast you eat, you can leave quickly?"
When the girl heard this, she made her laugh. Zhu Zhi also took the opportunity to smile and handed a spoonful of porridge and water. The tension between the two was resolved a lot. Just like Zhu Zhi fed a spoonful of the girl, she seemed to be exhausted. She was indeed hungry. She ate this bowl of porridge and an egg.
Zhu Zhi called Xiao Chenzi to come in and pack up the bowls and chopsticks, and asked Yang Rong to sit down together. The two of them brewed a pot of tea and drank it by themselves. Zhu Zhi thought to himself, how could he take out the situation from the girl? He saw that this girl was not old and should be less than 20 years old. From the way she teased her just now, it seemed that she was not cunning and lacked experience in the world. Since that is the case, then...
Zhu Zhi took a sip of tea and said, "The girl is very hurt."
The girl said, "Thank you, young master, for helping you, it will be fine in two days." Zhu Zhi then realized that the girl's accent was a bit not very pure. Could it be that she is from Goryeo?!
Zhu Zhi said: "Last night, the five cities soldier and horse officials were searching all over the city, and it seemed that they were coming for you."
The girl frowned and said, "I have implicated the young master. I will leave if I can go down tomorrow."
Zhu Zhi smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be. Girls may be the safest to stay here."
The girl pondered for a moment, and suddenly said vigilantly: "By the way, why did you save me? Are you having any intention?!"
Zhu Zhi laughed and said, "Why are you so reckless? How can you assassinate the Korean envoy in the bustling city?" He decided to test it. It was very simple. Those who were wearing Korean official uniforms could walk around Nanjing, except for Korean envoys. Moreover, the girl's accent was obviously a foreigner, so she must be a Korean. Although she could not guess the interests in this, at least now it can be confirmed that this case should have been caused by internal struggles among the Korean people.
Sure enough, the girl opened her mouth and said, "That was arranged by her brother. Only by killing Zheng Daochuan, the evil thief, can the traitor be afraid..." Suddenly, she felt that she had missed her mouth and quickly closed her mouth.
Zhu Zhi and Yang Rong exchanged glances. Zhu Zhi had already had some conspiracy in his heart. It seemed that this person was probably the deposed king of the Goryeo Dynasty. In August, Zhu Zhi saw a memorial from Liaodong, saying that in July of the 25th year of Hongwu (1392), under the planning of Li Chenggui's son Li Fangyuan, ministers Nan Yin, Zhao Jun, Zheng Daochuan and others, Wang Yao was forced to announce the transfer of the throne to Li Chenggui, ending the rule of the Goryeo Kingdom for more than 400 years and Goryeo was destroyed. Li Chenggui changed the country's name to North Korea, which was also the first time when the name of North Korea became a regime.
In Zhu Zhi's memory, the Goryeo Dynasty was established in the early years of the Tang Dynasty in China. Wang Jian, the subordinate of the Gongyi King of Later Goguryeo, was supported by his subordinates, moved the capital to his hometown Kaicheng (Songyue), and changed the country's name to "Goryeo". He successively destroyed Silla and Hou Baekje and established the Goryeo Dynasty. In the nearly 400-year history of its existence, he had depended on many dynasties that entered the Central Plains, including Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan, and had always regarded himself as a vassal of China.
In the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, King Xin Yu of Goryeo had to help the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Li Chenggui, the powerful minister of Goryeo, felt deeply that when this battle began, he would "be guilty of the emperor, and the disaster of the people of the clan society was established." He decisively decided to reject the king's order and persuade the generals to return to the army to retreat. Li Chenggui took the opportunity to lead the troops to encircle the palace and force Xin Yu to leave the palace. Xin Yu had to move to Jianghua Island. Goryeo produced a new king Chang. In the 22nd year of Hongwu (1389), after Li Chenggui and others proposed that the Changfei Goryeo Wang clan, he abolished and made the seventh generation Sun Yao of Shenzong as king, and Li Chenggui became the chief general, taking charge of military and political power. Later, the coup reported in the memorial, completely abolished the successor Wang Yao and became the king himself.
Zhu Zhi immediately understood that Zheng Daochuan was a great hero who helped Li Chenggui get to power. He came to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute to Zhu Yuanzhang so that the Ming Dynasty would recognize his usurpation status. Then this woman must be a member of the Wang Yao imperial party.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhi said again: "Miss, you have to trust me. I also hate Li Chenggui usurping the throne and seizing power, but why do you kill people in the capital?"
The girl was obviously very surprised at how the man in front of her knew so much. She lowered her head and thought for a while, "How did you know so much?"
Seeing that she still didn't trust her, Zhu Zhi thought of simply revealing her identity so that she could weigh the importance of it, and said, "I am the King of Liao of the Ming Dynasty. His fiefdom is dependent on Goryeo, so he naturally knows a lot about Goryeo. If a girl trusts her, she might as well tell me that she still has the ability to help with Goryeo's affairs."
The girl was frightened by Zhu Zhi's words. To a certain extent, the Ming Dynasty was the country of the Celestial Kingdom for Goryeo. At this time, a prince of the Ming Dynasty stood in front of him. The girl was naturally at a loss. She said: "You, are you really the Liao King of the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Zhi smiled slightly, took a jade token from his waist and handed it to Yang Rong. Yang Rong took the jade to the girl, and the words "Liao King" were neatly written in seal script, and the words "Like See In person" were written on it. This is the token of the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and its function is similar to that of the prince's seal. Generally, after the prince is in a vassal state, such tokens are very authoritative in the fiefdom. Although the girl lacks experience in the martial arts world, she also knows how ordinary people dare to take such jade tokens. If someone knows, the crime of usurpation will be lost. Now she has firmly believed that the young man in black in front of her is the King of Liao.
The girl trembled and wanted to sit up. Zhu Zhi hurriedly walked to her and pressed her down, saying, "Miss, don't get up, the injury has not healed yet."
The girl burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, you must make the decision for your father." She cried out as she said that.
Although he was mentally prepared, Zhu Zhi was also shocked. Is this woman a princess of Goryeo? Seeing that the girl had already believed in him, he said in a gentler voice: "Miss, don't be excited, and have something to say slowly."
The girl said, "I, I, my concubine is Ziruo, the queen of King of Goryeo, Wang Yao. In the 18th year of Hongwu, he came to the Heavenly Dynasty to study with his brother Wang Luchao, and studied for seven years. In the 22nd year of his father ascended the throne of Goryeo, but Li Chenggui, a traitor in rebels, actually usurped the throne of his father and changed the name to the pseudo-Korean Kingdom. My brother has written several times since August, hoping that the emperor could send heavenly soldiers to expel the traitor of the traitor of the traitor of the traitor of the traitor of Li Chenggui. However, many times he wrote to the sea. I heard that the traitor Li Chenggui sent the traitor Zheng Dao to lead an envoy to Beijing and submitted a letter to the emperor to admit their usurpation. If the emperor agrees, then I will have no hope of restoring the country in Goryeo.
There was already a lot of hope to send the memorial to the emperor a few days ago. However, Li Chenggui had a good relationship with King Yan, and the people of King Yan were doing a lot of bad things behind their backs, so the court seemed to want to admit the dog thief and grant them the title.
The brother had no choice but to take the old minister of the father who was finally in the capital to take a risk and assassinate the dog thief Zheng Daochuan. I hope that at least it would delay the time so that things could turn a little more. Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that if the thief ran away, we would lose a lot of people." After saying that, Wang Ziruo watched Zhu Zhi helplessly, hoping that he could give himself an answer.
Haha, so that's it. After hearing the whole story of the incident, Zhu Zhi suddenly discovered that North Korea has a tradition of assassination since ancient times. Once political demands cannot be achieved, they will use this extreme method. However, it is difficult for these two brothers. At this point, as the children of the deposed king, they can only live under someone else's roof in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Apart from striving to try to change their destiny, they really have no better way.
Zhu Zhi said: "How do you know that the King of Yan secretly supported Li Chenggui?"
Wang Ziruo said: "It was when my brother discussed with his retainers. I heard that Li Chenggui had sent 200 good horses to the King of Yan every year since the 18th year of Hongwu. This time, the Zheng thief passed by Peiping on his way to Beijing, and also sent 200 good horses and 20 sings. So this time, the King of Yan helped the thieves speak a lot of good things in the court."
Oh, so that's it. There is a shadow of the King of Yan in this matter. At that time, it was difficult to produce horses in the middle of the city. There were only more than 200,000 people in the entire Jing camp. Hehe, 200 good horses are worth a year. This is a gift. With this, it is not enough for your fourth child to drink a pot. Zhu Zhi and Yang Rong exchanged their eyes again.
Zhu Zhi said: "Where is Brother Ling now?"
Wang Ziruo's eyes dimmed and she said, "The thief's guards are very skilled in martial arts. Our party beat them but was forced to flee in all directions. My brother didn't know where he went. I was stabbed. Fortunately, I met Your Highness. Your Highness, please help your father." As he said that, tears burst out from his eyes again.
Zhu Zhi was most afraid of the woman's tears. At this time, he saw the beauty with pear blossoms and rain, and he really didn't know what to do. He thought, "This is not a small matter, it needs long-term planning. Now the most important thing is to find the girl's brother. The girl rests first, and I will arrange some people to find him first. Where do you live?"
Seeing that there was indeed not much solution for the time being, Wang Ziruo had to follow Zhu Zhi's arrangement and said, "We used to live in Wumanyi. Later, after the thief's delegation came, we moved to Luoying Lane in Xicheng. In addition, this operation was arranged in advance. After the matter was completed, everyone would temporarily leave the capital and gather in Niushou Mountain and Jiangning Town. Your Highness, you must save my brother."
Zhu Zhi asked Wang Ziruo to be calm: "Miss, take good care of her injuries first, I will send someone to find Brother Ling immediately. Let's talk about the others when you find him."
