Han Minghui brought a box of gold and silver to the lobby, and then asked all his entourages to go down. Here he was waiting for Xu Youzhen, who was most favored by the emperor in the Ming Dynasty.
After a while, Xu Youzhen, who had changed into official uniform, walked out from behind.
Han Minghui, who had been standing next to the box, saw Xu Youzhen and hurriedly greeted him.
"You must be the censor of Xudu. You really look like a master." Han Minghui said with a smile on his face.
Although Han Minghui can now be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people in North Korea.
That place is North Korea. For the Ming Dynasty, he was a bit unsatisfied, and Han Minghui was able to quickly grasp his position.
After Xu Youzhen heard what Han Minghui said, she first looked at Han Minghui. He had a thin figure and a goatee. What made Xu Youzhen uncomfortable the most was his eyes. Those eyes were full of cunning and very similar to his own eyes. Like, then he saw the box at his feet, and his heart moved. Could it be that the box was filled with gold and silver? Then Xu Youzhen calmed down and said calmly: "Please sit down."
Han Minghui laughed innocently and walked to the chair: "Censor of Xudu, please take your seat first."
Xu Youzhen was not polite. She sat down slowly and shook her sleeves. When she saw Xu Youzhen sitting in the main seat, Han Minghui sat down.
Xu Youzhen asked with a normal expression: "I don't know your name yet, nor do I know what your purpose is."
Han Minghui smiled: "The official is Han Minghui, the envoy appointed by King Shouyang of North Korea. When he first came to the capital, he wanted to visit the censor of Xudu first."
"I have two questions. One is why you are the envoy appointed by Lord Shouyang, but you never mentioned the king of Korea. The other is, why did you not visit the Ministry of Rites and submit your credentials when you came to the capital, but came first? I am here, even if you want to visit the dignitaries of the court, there is no one in Chengguo Duke's Mansion, Yu Taibao, or Taining Marquis Mansion who is not more powerful than me, Mr. Xu..."
Han Minghui chuckled lightly: "The Censor of Xudu, the king of the country is young, so he has to entrust the state affairs to the Shouyang King, just like the Ming Dynasty entrusted the state affairs to the cabinet and the chief minister."
After hearing what Han Minghui said, Xu Youzhen's face, which was originally normal, immediately turned extremely ugly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you compare the head of your family with my Majesty the Celestial Dynasty, and compare your Lord Shouyang with our Yu Taibao? It is extremely unreasonable." Xu Youzhen scolded fiercely.
Seeing Xu Youzhen's face change immediately, Han Minghui also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately said: "I said the wrong thing, I hope the censor of Xudu will forgive me, and I hope the censor of Xudu will not be angry."
Offending this villain would have more serious consequences than offending Yu Qian.
Xu Youzhen was indeed angry. His emperor was young and brave, how could he compare with the barbarians? As for the comparison between Yu Qian and Lord Shouyang, Xu Youzhen did not feel uncomfortable, and she brought Yu Taibao along for the sake of rhyme.
However, Xu Youzhen was a little curious as to what Han Minghui was trying to do with him. At the moment, he could only suppress his anger and his face gradually returned to normal.
"Then why did you come to see me?"
"Isn't that because His Majesty the Emperor of China values Xu Du Yushi? I have heard about this in North Korea." Xu Youzhen was angry just now, which really frightened Han Minghui, and he began to be cautious when he spoke.
After hearing this, Xu Youzhen's heart moved. Is she so famous in North Korea?
Think about it again, how is this possible?
Then he looked at Han Minghui who was talking nonsense. He felt contempt in his heart, but he did not show it. Instead, he said slowly: "Then why did the envoy come to see me?"
"The Celestial Army has been besieging and suppressing the Jurchens for several months. Now that the major event has been accomplished, why has it not yet retreated? Instead, they built fortresses and city walls on our Korean land. After hearing this, Lord Shouyang sent envoys there, but they were also met with failure. to expel him, so he sent me to the Ming Dynasty to hand over state affairs."
After hearing that it was about Liaodong, Xu Youzhen immediately became energetic.
"You said that the army of the Ming Dynasty King in Liaodong invaded and occupied your land."
"yes."
After hearing Han Minghui's words, Xu Youzhen immediately understood that something was wrong.
To invade and occupy the country, you can directly submit your credentials. Maybe you can still see His Majesty. It's not faster than finding yourself. No, that's not what they care about. He wants to know something from my mouth. .
Then Xu Youzhen thought of Lord Shouyang.
As far as he knew, although Lord Shouyang was the uncle of the King of Joseon, he was not a minister of the king. It was abnormal in itself to entrust all state affairs to Lord Shouyang.
Xu Youzhen once met Li Yao, the Shouyang King of North Korea. Judging from his appearance, this guy was an ambitious person.
Could it be that Li Yao usurped power?
In fact, the Ming Dynasty knew nothing about the Guiyou Rebellion that occurred in North Korea. This is why Li Yao was canonized by Emperor Jingtai of the Ming Dynasty only one year after he ascended the throne.
It is false to ask about the invasion of the country, but it is true to inquire about the reality of Ming Dynasty's national policy.
Xu Youzhen knew that even if her guess was wrong, she still couldn't explain it clearly at this time.
"You can submit your credentials to the Ministry of Rites and let the Ministry of Rites wait for you to hear the news. I can't say too much." A vague answer is the most perfect answer.
Han Minghui is a good person, but Xu Youzhen is even better than him. You helped King Shouyang succeed in his coup, and in history, Xu Youzhen also helped the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen to succeed in his restoration. You are not a heavyweight player.
After listening to Xu Youzhen's words, Han Minghui cursed the old fox in his heart, and then said with a smile on his face: "I know, I will submit my credentials tomorrow, but I hope that Xu Du Yushi can be our North Korea's Say a few good words and let the king's army evacuate quickly." With that said, Han Minghui stood up, walked to the box, and then opened the box.
A box full of gold and silver jewelry.
Xu Youzhen's breathing quickened, and sure enough, it was all gold and silver.
Looking at Xu Youzhen's performance, Han Minghui was very satisfied. Han officials were greedy for money, which was not a secret in North Korea.
As long as he can satisfy Xu Youzhen's desire for gold and silver, he can capture a spokesperson for North Korea in the Ming Dynasty.
And Xu Youzhen looked at this box full of gold and silver jewelry, but she was thinking, if during the court meeting, I reported this box of jewelry to the court, told the North Korean usurpation of power in public, and bribed me, then what would happen? Will my reputation and status in His Majesty's heart be improved again?
I, Xu Youzhen, have everything, including an official position and His Majesty's favor, but I lack the reputation among scholars. Isn't this Korean just here to clear my name?
Then Xu Youzhen looked at Han Minghui: "You, what do you mean?"
I, Lao Xu, am going to talk.
"These are all for the Censor of Xudu. I only hope that the Censor of Xudu can say a few nice words for us in front of His Majesty..."
Xu Youzhen chuckled, her eyes full of greed, then looked at Han Minghui and whispered: "Are you speaking kindly for your North Korean leader, or are you speaking kindly for your master Shouyang, since I accept it?" Of course you have to find the right person for your stuff.”
After hearing what Xu Youzhen said, Han Minghui was shocked. Sure enough, the Ming Dynasty was very dissatisfied with Lord Shouyang's actions in North Korea, and it spread among the top officials of the Ming court.
But Han Minghui never thought that Xu Youzhen guessed it because of the omissions in his words.
"Then, of course, it is a good word for our Lord Shouyang. If the Censor of Xudu can do it and let His Majesty decree to canonize Lord Shouyang as the King of North Korea, our North Korea will not forget the Censor of Xudu. "
After Xu Youzhen heard this, she laughed to herself, and Han Minghui also laughed.
Xu Youzhen's smile was because she felt that Han Minghui was too stupid, and she knew all his background in just one sentence.
But Han Minghui's smile was that he felt that he had used money to subjugate Xu Youzhen, and Lord Shouyang could directly claim the throne. By then, his achievements would surely bring him to a higher level...
Two foxes each with their own hidden agenda...
