Chapter 5 Goryeo Chaos (3)

Zhu Zhi came out of his ear room and called Xiao Chenzi to his side: "You find two loyal and reliable guards to protect the place. There are also a few things to do. First, organize a summary of information about Goryeo, about Li Chenggui, about the court's attitude towards the deposed King Goryeo, and about the envoys of Goryeo, in short, all of them should be ordered to collect all the information about Goryeo; Second, you immediately bring ten reliable people to Niushou Mountain and Jiangning Town to find Wang Luchao. These people don't even know anyone in a small town, and suddenly some strangers come. Aren't you looking for attention? By the way, you have to send someone to the Wucheng Military and Ma Si to find out whether there were any living people in the case last night. Go quickly, it's best to do everything for me today."

Xiao Chenzi said the order and turned around and was about to leave. Zhu Zhi pulled him back and said, "What should I say after finding Wang Luchao?"

Xiao Chenzi said, "Just say that his girl is in our hands." Zhu Zhi nodded with satisfaction.

After giving a series of tasks, Zhu Zhi and Yang Rong came to the study. The first thing Zhu Zhi did was to open the scroll last night. He saw that this was a gift list written in yellow silk for the court. There were hundreds of silk and satin, one thousand dan of rice, ten thousand-year-old ginseng, one hundred pearls of the East China Sea, 300 good horses, and 50 genus singers. Damn, why do you even give gifts these days? Li Chenggui is so rustic. However, these hundred pearls of the East China Sea and thousands of years old ginseng are good things. It seems that Li Zhe still paid a lot of money to get the official title.

There was a piece of paper folded in the gift list to the court. When Zhu Zhi saw it, he was happy. Haha, so that's it. He handed the paper to Yang Rong without saying a word. Yang Rong took it and saw that it was a gift list for King Yan. The things he gave were almost exactly the same as those given to Zhu Yuanzhang, but the difference was that each one was half missing.

Yang Rong said: "The King of Yan was usurped!" Yes, any court official would immediately think of this problem when he saw these two gifts. In the past, the tribute between the vassal state and the superior state could only be the king against the emperor. He gave the gifts tribute to the emperor to other officials, and gave the King of Yan before giving the tribute to the emperor. This is clear evidence of usurpation.

Zhu Zhi didn't say anything and asked Yang Rong: "What do Mianren think?"

Yang Rong said: "It seems that this is a good opportunity to overthrow the King of Yan. But I have to think of a way to let the emperor know this gift list. Of course, it was not discovered by Your Highness."

Zhu Zhi said: "Hmph, I want to see how my fourth brother can defend himself this time?"

Yang Rong was not as happy as Zhu Zhi, but said lightly: "Your Highness, Rong has something to say, not to say."

Zhu Zhi said, "Tell me, what else should I not talk about?"

Yang Rong said: "The King of Yan was overthrown. Is there any benefit in the prince?"

This sentence hit Zhu Zhi's heart like a heavy hammer. Zhu Zhi, who was just now feeling glad that he was pinching the little braid of King Yan, couldn't help but be shocked. Yes, why didn't he expect this? He asked quickly: "What does Mianren mean?"

Yang Rong said: "Last time Rong and Your Highness analyzed that the Crown Prince's approach did not fully trust His Highness. So how can Your Highness be sure that he is not suspicious of the Crown Prince in Liaodong in the future? If the King of Yan is overthrown, will Your Highness still work for the Crown Prince? Has Your Highness ever heard of Sima Yi's way to avoid disaster?"

Zhu Zhi said: "Mianren, please speak."

Yang Rong said: "Many people think that Sima Wu is timid in the city, fearing that there will be ambush in the city. But he has been fighting all his life. Can't even understand this plan? No, it is actually Sima's way to avoid disaster. If he enters the city to take Zhuge Kongming's head, Shu Kingdom will lose its backbone and destroy the country is just around the corner. But if Shu Kingdom is destroyed, isn't the one waiting for Sima just to cook a bow and hide it?"

Zhu Zhi woke up from his dream and slapped his thighs and said, "If King Yan was overthrown, I, King Liao, would have entered the empty city of Emperor Sima Wu!?"

Yang Rong said: "The King of Liao was clear, so he must not let the King of Yan be overthrown, but he can use this matter to reduce the emperor's trust in him and weaken his power. The emperor relies on the King of Yan to guard the border and will never depose him. Therefore, after the tribute incident occurs, His Highness will come out to plead for the King of Yan. In this way, the trouble left by the prince's bidding farewell in the emperor's heart can be truly reduced."

Zhu Zhi laughed: "I am good at making plans, and if Mian Ren does not remind me, how could Zhi think of this relationship?" Zhu Zhi sometimes became too substituted in this era and often blocked his eyes by a leaf. Zhu Zhi understood that because he came to this world, the historical status of the Liao king had quietly changed. For him, the King of Yan was both an opponent and a dependent on each other. After Old Zhu returned to the west in the future, the relationship between him and the court and the King of Yan became a special triangle. If the King of Yan was overthrown early, the court would be dominated by the world in the future, which would not be Peiping, but his Guangning.

Zhu Zhi said: "Nan Mianren thinks, what should we do with Wang Yao's children?"

Yang Rong said: "Your Highness, the court's attitude towards Goryeo now seems to be ready to admit that Li Chenggui is impossible for the Wang brothers and sisters to have a chance. Why not send them back to Goryeo and let Li Chenggui deal with them."

Zhu Zhi felt that Yang Rong was very familiar with the affairs of the court and was very good at it. However, as a modern person, his greatest advantage was that he knew the history of later generations and naturally had a clear mind on strategic issues. He knew his future relationship with the King of Yan, so he would never allow such a force with the King of Yan in Liaodong.

Zhu Zhi said: "Next year, I will be in a vassal. The prince brother asked me to be the oriole behind the mantis. But if there is such an ambush behind us with the King of Yan behind us, wouldn't we become the mantis in front of the oriole?"

A word woke up the dreamer, Yang Rong's eyes lit up. Yes, why didn't he think of this problem? He suddenly felt that Zhu Zhi sometimes thought about it, but at this time he found that Zhu Zhi often started to find problems in some places he could not think of. These places are often strategic, Yang Rong just felt that he had no idea about the word strategy. He hurriedly said: "Your Highness has a far-sighted vision, and Rong did not consider this level. Does Your Highness want to use them?"

Zhu Zhi smiled and nodded. Yang Rong thought, "How is this possible? The Wang family's power in Goryeo has declined. No matter how they support it, they can't help it. If they ask them to challenge Li Chenggui, it can only be a mantis arm to be a chariot."

Zhu Zhi doesn't blame Yang Rong. He doesn't know about the future world. He doesn't know that many times he can destroy a national regime through various political, economic and military means. Yang Rong doesn't understand, but Zhu Zhi is very clear about the various methods of the Americans. Afghanistan, Chile, and Israel are all precedents that can be learned from. In Afghanistan and Chile, Americans have all used agents to get rid of regimes they don't like, and Israel is equal to their interests in the Middle East. If we compare the initial power, the forces chosen by Americans in Afghanistan, Chile, and Israel are not so powerful.

Zhu Zhi said: "That's right, compared to Li Chenggui, the power of the Wang brothers and sisters is a little weaker, but in Goryeo, people who are loyal to Wang Yao must exist. When the time is ripe, finding an opportunity to send the Wang brothers and sisters back to Goryeo will become Li Chenggui's confidant. In the future, even if the Wang brothers and sisters cannot shake the big tree of Li Chenggui, as long as they disrupt the situation and make the Li family unable to become the help of the King of Yan. This is called an agent. Do you understand? We don't need to intervene in person. Just build an agent to achieve our goal." Zhu Zhi even instilled the concept of an agent into Yang Rong.

Although Yang Rong could not fully understand the meaning of the agent, he understood Zhu Zhi's idea. This new concept was not without ancient times. The enemy of your enemy is your friend. Yang Rong laughed: "What an agent, but if the court agrees to accept Li Chenggui's request, then it will be very dangerous to do so."

Zhu Zhi said: "Is this little thing rare to defeat you Yang Mianren? Haha, don't be too much, as long as the court postponed the recognition of Li Chenggui for two years, it would be enough."

Yang Rong said: "The court will not care about such things at all, otherwise they will not leave both of them aside for so long. Although Li Chenggui has become a fact now, he is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the

Zhu Zhi said: "Yes, let's just let those loyal ministers speak out. This is not a major issue in the country..." The two looked at each other and smiled at each other.

At noon, the information about Goryeo was sent to Zhu Zhi's case. Zhu Zhi and Yang Rong looked at the information together. He found that in fact, "Wujian" had already had information about the King of Yan's acceptance of Li Chenggui's gift, but he had always suffered from the lack of clear evidence. However, the court really looked down on such a small vassal. Wang Luchao posted the book twice and once, and was kept by Lao Zhu, and once was suppressed by the Ministry of Rites, and no one paid attention to it. After Li Chenggui's mission arrived, Guanglu Temple was responsible for food and drink, and he still had not seen Lao Zhu.

However, the court discussed the matter of Goryeo once, and the court was divided into two factions. One faction believed that since Li Chenggui had become the king, it would be better to go with the flow and give him a title, because the original Goryeo King Xinyu thought of rebelling against the Ming Dynasty in the 21st year of Hongwu, and he had the intention of being unjust. The main supporters of this faction were Ru Wei, the Minister of War, Xie Jin, and Hu Guang; the opponents were Zhang Min, the Minister of Rites, and Zhao Lian, the Minister of War. The reasons for this side were: Zhang Min, the Minister of War.

The following is also very powerful. The following is a treason that violates the great rituals of the monarch and his ministers. Is it meant that the court sets this precedent and can recognize a thief who plotted against rebellion? Once this example is opened, the consequences will be unimaginable. Moreover, Xin Yu, who was against the Ming Dynasty, has long been deposed. In order to express his repentance, Wang Yao, the former king of Goryeo, specially sent a pair of children to the capital to express his repentance. Therefore, the court should not recognize Li, and should issue an order to severely denounce him and allow him to welcome Wang Yao back to the throne quickly.

It is obvious that the supporters are strong and powerful. No wonder they forced the Wang brothers and sisters to take risks. However, these two brothers and sisters are really laymen in the Ming Dynasty. How could the court decide so easily for such a vassal state to change its ownership and commit the following major issues? Moreover, it would be good that such uneasy things would have been achieved in one year.

Ru Wei, Xie Jin, and Hu Guang seemed to be the King of Yan ambushing the court to help. These people were all hidden in the process of being easy to save some time ago. Unexpectedly, this seemingly unrelated incident caused these people to surface. Zhu Zhi immediately ordered the Beijing sub-sector to monitor the three of them in all aspects, hoping that through them, the three of them, the entire King of Yan could be pulled out.

When Zhu Zhi saw the information from the Bingmasi, he was shocked again. The North Korean missionary was in charge of Zheng Daochuan being stabbed last night? Why did Wang Ziruo say that they did not succeed? Could it be that the middle-aged man who broke into Zhu Zhi's room was Zheng Daochuan? Haha, if it was really him, he deserved the bad luck. He rashly broke into Zhu Zhi's room, even if Zhu Zhi swayed and killed him, he should have died. He really didn't intend to plant willows. It would take two months for Zheng's death to repay the country. It would take another two months for envoys there to send them, and it took another half a year to go out. I would find a way to make several ministers oppose it. Hehe, I guess the support plan of the Wang sisters can be implemented.
