how?
Of course not!
Yu Yinggui knows the twists and turns here better than anyone else.
To put it bluntly, it was hiding something from the truth and making a huge gamble. The guys in the military general regime were making a huge gamble. They were betting that the Ming Dynasty would not want to interfere in Goryeo's internal affairs.
But now it seems that Ming Dynasty is very interested in Goryeo's internal affairs.
If the Ming Dynasty envoys arrived in Goryeo and took a quick look and asked, they would naturally know that all this is false.
If Su Yonglin was furious and raised an army to investigate, how could the small country of Goryeo stop the fierce front of the Ming army?
In recent years, the Ming army used troops on a large scale in Liaodong to attack the barbarians. At the same time, it also purchased a large amount of food and military supplies from Goryeo at low prices.
Although this kind of action cleared Goryeo of the threat posed by the barbarian tribes in the north and reduced the pressure on the northern border of Goryeo, it also fully made the Goryeo people realize the powerful combat effectiveness of the Ming army.
Those fierce barbarians are extremely powerful. Goryeo, who has dealt with them for a long time, knows very well that in order to guard against them, Goryeo even built the Great Wall to protect itself.
However, they were wiped out under a large-scale sweep by the Ming army.
Goryeo not only maintains a certain degree of gratitude to the Ming Dynasty, but also maintains an attitude of awe for the ferocity of the Ming army. For a period of time, they did not even dare to say bad things about Su Yonglin, for fear of being found out and stabbed in Zhongdu. Triggered a large-scale crusade in the Ming Dynasty.
Even Goryeo didn't even have the guts to ban "Hongwu Political Treatise" openly and openly, so they could only do it privately.
They secretly arrested and executed anyone who dared to spread "Hongwu Political Treatise" in private, and then did not allow officials to publicly discuss "Hongwu Political Treatise".
The Confucian scholars of Goryeo who had earlier criticized the Ming Dynasty for Su Yonglin because of the content of "Hongwu Political Treatise" also kept silent after the Ming army defeated the Liaodong War, and did not dare to openly criticize any of the Ming Dynasty's policies.
They were very afraid that their criticism of Su Yonglin would be known to the Ming Dynasty, and Su Yonglin would then raise an army to investigate.
Su Yonglin instructed the Goryeo forces of the Tianwang Army to provide assistance to some people with lofty ideals who were secretly promoting "Hongwu Political Theory" within Goryeo, to use force to counter them, and to help them escape. In this regard, the Goryeo court did not conduct further investigation or investigation.
I don’t know whether it’s because I don’t dare to pursue it, or I simply don’t have the ability to pursue it.
In any case, Goryeo did not dare to defy the Ming Kingdom in all senses.
Therefore, before this mission, Yu Yinggui's family members were arrested by the military generals in power, in order to coerce Yu Yinggui to serve them wholeheartedly.
If Yu Yinggui successfully completed his mission and returned, so that the Ming Dynasty would not accuse Goryeo and recognize Wang Hao, then his family and clan would be safe, and he would be promoted to a noble rank and receive very generous rewards.
But if he fails to complete his mission and the Ming Dynasty wants to find out, then his family and tribe will die without a burial place. The military generals will first destroy his entire clan, and then lead Goryeo and the Ming Dynasty to fight together. fierce struggle.
Yu Yinggui was so frightened that he had to go to the Ming Dynasty as an envoy to fight for the slightest chance of success.
He had already made up his mind to prevent the Ming Dynasty from sending people to investigate or send troops to attack Goryeo. If necessary, he would risk his own life in a last-ditch effort to achieve his goal.
"As a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo was loyal to the Ming Dynasty and did not dare to have any second thoughts. Why would His Majesty the Emperor suspect that Goryeo was deceiving the Ming Dynasty? This would be too hurtful to Goryeo's people. How would everyone in Goryeo speculate on His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts? ?”
"What you mean is that you don't want me to send someone to investigate?"
Su Yonglin's expression turned cold and he sneered: "If the situation is as you said, why don't you want me to send someone to investigate? Isn't there something hidden in your heart? Now I doubt whether Wang Sui is still alive. Those daring people among you Has the bastard already committed regicide?"
Su Yonglin said this, and Yu Yinggui himself was scared to death, because he himself didn't know whether Wang Sui was still alive.
Who knows what those warriors did to Wang Sui when he left Goryeo?
But no matter what, from his standpoint, Su Yonglin could never be allowed to send people to Goryeo to investigate this matter.
anyway.
This emotion prompted him to say something unpleasant.
"His Majesty the Emperor sent people to Goryeo to investigate the incident. The whole country of Goryeo is in panic. Who knows what will happen by then? If lives are lost due to His Majesty the Emperor's investigation, isn't it His Majesty's fault?"
After Su Yonglin heard this, he became furious.
"Are you threatening me? Are you threatening Daming?"
Yu Yinggui was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, kowtowed repeatedly and said he didn't dare.
Su Yonglin's anger remained unabated and she pointed at him and cursed.
"Although your country is small, you should know the righteousness of kings and ministers, and the order of brothers. Since you pay attention to Confucianism, why do you do this kind of thing of deposing your brother's position? You even make up sweet words to deceive the superior country? In my opinion, you should immediately Conduct a crusade to punish you for your crimes!”
Yu Yinggui felt anxious and uneasy, but the tight thread still did not break.
He decided to fight for the sake of his family and tribe.
"Unfortunately, His Royal Highness the late king was ill, and his son was not smart either. For the sake of Korea, he abdicated his throne to his younger brother as ordered by his late father, and that is what happened today. How dare a small country to deceive His Majesty the Emperor? Even if the ministers were punished for this matter, Tang He will never change his words even if he is punished with a wok and a yue!
Since the sovereign of the Ming Dynasty wants to punish small countries, he should have convincing reasons. Only in this way can he be regarded as a teacher. However, the king does not have any reliable evidence now. It is difficult to convince the public and cannot block the world by relying on one-sided words. I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor to think twice! "
"Hmph! Sweet words! Sweet words! You are completely deceiving the country!"
Su Yonglin didn't want to continue talking nonsense with him, and said angrily: "Since you are here, you must have the right and responsibility. Either the Ming Dynasty will send people to investigate the matter and clear your innocence, or the Ming Dynasty will send troops to attack Goryeo Buchen and give Wang Sui justice. You Choose for yourself!”
Su Yonglin put the words down here and gave Yu Yinggui three days to think about it.
It was said that it took three days to think about it, but in fact, Su Yonglin did not stop preparing for the war at all. He was using this time to advance the war deployment.
The main force of the Fifth Corps is stationed in different places, and it still takes time to gather a certain amount of troops to launch a crusade.
And these three days have not brought any improvement to Yu Yinggui. He is an unlucky guy who has no choice and cannot decide everything about himself from the beginning.
So, when three days passed, Yu Yinggui's choice was still the same. He refused Su Yonglin's request, and in order to show his firm belief, he actually chose to go on a hunger strike.
He refused to eat or drink water, trying to express his indignation in this way and his dissatisfaction with Ming Dynasty for "humiliating" Goryeo.
However, this behavior made no sense, and Su Yonglin still let him make a choice.
"Whether you die or not means nothing to Ming. You have no ability to change the current situation. You don't need to try to change my decision. Your life is not valuable."
Seeing that his last intimidation was meaningless, Yu Yinggui drank his first water in three days in despair, and then his strong desire to survive broke his psychological defense. He collapsed and knelt down in front of Su Yonglin and confessed everything.
Including his own family members who were taken hostage by the generals. If any news that was not conducive to the generals was spread back, his family and people would be doomed. The generals would fight the Ming Dynasty to the death with an attitude of mutual destruction.
Yu Yinggui told everything in detail, not daring to hide anything.
