Li Chenggui held Zheng Daozhuan's hand with his backhand and said sincerely: "In that case, I would like to ask Zongzhi to pass a message to Jiang Angel on my behalf. I am willing to do my best, and I just hope that in the future I will not forget my small contribution."
Zheng Daochuan knew clearly that Li Chenggui was pretending to be confused on the surface, but in fact he was asking why he wanted to support him. Since Jiang Side knew that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to entrust all the land of Goryeo to the King of Qi, then with the power he had accumulated over the years, if he added His Highness the Crown Prince’s support does not mean there is no chance.
It is such a satisfying thing to seal territories, establish a country and become a king. Why not take it for yourself but give it to him?
Li Chenggui looked at Zheng Daozhuan who was smiling and silent, but thought in his heart that if Zheng Daozhuan didn't make it clear, he would immediately write a letter to the Crown Prince to impeach Jiang Side for his disobedience. With the strictness of His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince would definitely punish Jiang Side. He recalled the Ming Dynasty.
Without Jiang Side, the Xiang Ming party members who have accumulated will have to find someone to rely on. With his current status, he can at least occupy a large part of it, and the Zheng Dao Chuan in front of him may not necessarily be unable to be included under his command.
In this way, even if there is no opportunity to seal the territory, with the power in hand, no matter who will be the master of Korea in the future, his support cannot be avoided. This is the real foolproof strategy.
Zheng Daochuan couldn't help but remember that he had asked this question before setting off. After all, compared to Li Chenggui and other foreign ministers who surrendered, Jiang Angel, as a confidant sent by His Royal Highness, undoubtedly had a better chance...
"Don't worry too much, Mr. Jiang. Before I came here, I not only met Mr. Jiang Angel, but also Prime Minister Li. Both of you have great expectations. This matter is only yours, but please remember. Thank you for your support from the two adults."
Li Chenggui's thoughts were disrupted by Zheng Daozhuan again. Why was Li Renren involved in such a thing? Aren't they incompatible with each other?
Zheng Daozhuan didn't say anything else. He knew that in this kind of private conversation, no matter how much he said or how sincere he said, people like Li Chenggui would not be convinced. Everything still depends on the actual statement.
He stood up neatly and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, the food and grass provided by the court will be in place within three days. Prime Minister Li also said that the transfer of generals in the entire army will be decided by you. As long as you report to the court afterwards." An official letter will suffice, Prime Minister Li will agree to it, you just need to defeat Naha Chu in the fastest and most beautiful way!"
Regardless of Li Chenggui's repeated pleas to stay, Zheng Daochuan left after delivering the message, turned around, and entered the house where King Qi was staying under the watchful eye of Li Chenggui.
Li Chenggui stood silently at the door for a while. The situation in Goryeo was really unclear. When did Li Renren, the leader of the aristocratic family and the powerful man in Goryeo, get in touch with the Ming Dynasty envoy Jiang Side?
Zhu Di rubbed his temples and looked at the person who should have come early. Zheng Daozhuan tidied his clothes respectfully before bowing: "The foreign minister is paying homage to His Highness King Qi on the order of Angel Jiang. May your Highness be safe."
Zhu Di took a deep breath and said, "Get up."
"Foreign minister, I thank His Highness King Qi."
Zhu Di really wants to learn how to treat this person like his eldest brother, but he is not. Besides, he knows that if his eldest brother really came here in person, Jiang Side and others would have knelt down on the shore to greet him. How could it be possible? He was ignored for days.
"Did Jiang Side just ask you to come over and say hello?"
Zheng Daochuan bowed and replied: "To report back to Your Highness, the foreign minister also brought the appointment document from the Ministry of War, and also the information on Naha's movements in the past few days. Whenever you need anything in the future, you can directly contact us. The foreign minister ordered."
"Very good. You can go down and thank Jiang Side for me. I will say that I accept this love."
After Zheng Daozhuan respectfully stepped back, Zhu Di couldn't help but sweep down the cup next to him. He was not an idiot. Li Chenggui and Jiang Side's attitude was already very clear today.
On the surface, he obeyed the prince's order and did everything possible to cooperate with the King of Qi, but secretly he clearly wanted to enshrine him as a statue of a god, and then give him some credit and send him away after everything was over.
Zhu Di's breath was a little quickened. Their attitude was so obvious. It was clear that they wanted to hide his identity in Goryeo. He would not be able to rely on his identity to gain power without being justified.
Nowadays, the easiest way to break the situation is to write a letter immediately and complain to your eldest brother. Don't tamper with each other. As long as the eldest brother's order comes, all secretive tricks will be ignored.
But how could Zhu Di be willing to do so? Goryeo was a bitter and barren land. After seeing the map of the world shown by his elder brother, he made up his mind that Goryeo was just the beginning for him to prove himself to his father and brother. He wanted to personally conquer a rich and vast territory. .
If he had to rely on his eldest brother's endorsement even here, how could he have the face to talk about the future in front of his father and brother?
Snapped!
"Wow~"
"This slave will die!"
Zhu Biao stood up with his son in his arms and said with a smile: "It's just a broken bowl. Don't be surprised. Just clean it up."
It was rare that Zhu Biao had the leisure time to eat with his wife and children today. Just now Yang'er didn't know why, he looked at the porcelain bowl that Zhu Biao had eaten clean and looked at it, and stretched out his white and tender hands to ask for it.
Zhu Biao felt good, so he held his son in his arms and handed him the bowl. Although the bowl was not big, it was naturally impossible for such a small child to hold it, but he insisted on it, so nothing unexpected happened. It fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
If it were in later generations, the blue and white threaded porcelain bowls brought to the imperial kiln in Jingdezhen during the Hongwu period would undoubtedly be rare treasures, but it is like this now. Let alone the emperor's grandson breaking one, if he was really happy, he would open several kilns to break it. You can play with it.
"Yang'er, good boy, stop crying. Doesn't your mother-in-law still have one?"
Chang Luohua couldn't help but said: "Yang'er is good, this mother-in-law and concubine still have to eat, please stop making trouble, okay?"
After coaxing her for a while, she managed to divert Yang'er's attention away. Liang'er had been having a stomachache these days, so she stayed in the bed under the care of the wet nurse, while Yang'er was placed in the couple's side bedroom.
This was the first time that the two little brothers were separated, so Yang'er was a little unaccustomed to it and became a little noisy. However, in the eyes of the couple, it was actually quite good. After all, it is not good for a child to be too quiet, and it would be healthy to be noisy.
After handing the child to the nanny, Zhu Biao asked, "How is Xiaoba?"
Xiaoba is Zhu Biao's eighth sister. Her mother-in-law is An Fei Zheng, a woman with a very gentle appearance and conduct. Zhu Biao doesn't know about the other sisters. After all, she has never seen her a few times.
Chang Luohua replied: "The imperial doctor is guarding you. I'll go take a look later."
Lao Zhu and Queen Ma are not in the capital, so these groups of younger brothers and sisters have to be taken care of by their elder brothers and sisters-in-law. Of course, the prince and princess are not lacking in care, but if they are seriously ill like this, the prince and princess must make the decision. , her mother and concubine are not qualified to talk too much.
Zhu Biao stroked his eyebrows and said: "If the matter is urgent, please let the imperial doctor stay in Xiaoba's palace for treatment tonight. Xiaoba is young, so it doesn't matter. Let An Fei go back to her palace and wait, and don't cause trouble."
"Liu Jin, where are you going to guard me?"
"promise."
There were many concubines in the harem, and although the imperial physician was quite old, he was still a man. Of course, Zhu Biao did not think anyone would dare to do such a thing that would implicate the nine clans.
It's just that this kind of gossip is the easiest to spread. If it doesn't go well, many innocent people will die for no reason, so why bother.
Zhu Biao hugged his Crown Princess and praised her a few times. She has personally handled many matters in and outside the palace these days. It is difficult for a woman to be in charge of the family, let alone a royal family. There are younger brothers and sisters to take care of, and there are disputes about married women outside. Even though Zhu Biao protected her from the wind and rain, Chang Luohua couldn't hide where she should work hard.
After Chang Luohua left, Zhu Biao got up and went to the Wenhua Hall. After sitting down, he lightly knocked on the table. Jiang Gubian walked in from one side and bowed to the ground: I will see your Highness at the end, Your Highness Qianqiu. "
"Is there any movement in the capital camp?"
The prince did not get up, so Jiang Wei kept kneeling and replied: "Reporting to your highness, there is generally no movement in the Beijing camp, but there are 12th Battalion Huaiyuan General Chen Zhong and others who do not return to the camp at night, and Wujie General She He and others often come in The back mountain hunts with weapons..."
