Li Yu, Lord of Jincheng, stood up and said: "The rebellion of the remnants of Lord Shouyang, we all believed that the war could be quelled in a short time, so we did not submit a memorial to the state, and we never dared to show any disrespect to the Ming Dynasty. That’s what I mean.”
Zhan Yang looked at Li Yu.
Xu Youzhen may be familiar with him, but Zhan Yang is not familiar with him at all.
However, Xu Youzhen told him that this person lacked ability, had high ambitions and low hands, and wanted to achieve great success. Without Xu Youzhen's help, he was destined to fail.
"But why haven't we put down the rebellion yet?"
"This, this, this is all because these traitors are too cunning and cowardly..."
Zhan Yang looked at Jincheng Jun Li Yu coldly, and then sighed heavily, rotten wood cannot be carved...
"Your Majesty has decreed that I, General Zhao, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ming Dynasty Capital Regiment, will remain here to supervise your armaments for the next year..."
Many officials in the court looked at the tall man next to Zhan Yang.
I can’t help but think about why people in Zi Daming are so tall...
Li Hongwei, Li Yu and others did not dare to violate the will of His Majesty the Ming Emperor.
They all spoke and expressed their opinions at the moment.
The welcome is so great that the flowers are shining brightly.
After Zhan Yang's reprimand ended.
Lord Jincheng then brought Zhan Yang and Zhao Fu back to his mansion.
But this mansion is the former Shou Yangjun's mansion.
Zhan Yang has also been here before, and he can't help but feel a little sad.
Although North Korea, with the help of Xu Youzhen, eradicated the traitor Lord Shouyang, it did not bring real peace and stability to the people of North Korea. Instead, it pushed it into the abyss of civil strife. Maybe Xu Youzhen did not do these things Considered it.
Everyone was sitting in the main hall, and Lord Jincheng took out a small wooden box, a specialty of North Korea.
Prepared two.
One was given to Zhan Yang and the other was given to Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu didn't want it at first, but when he saw Zhan Yang accepting it, he accepted it too.
After opening it, Zhan Yang looked slightly disappointed, because the wooden box contained only silver nuggets and no gold, gems, jade, agate or other items.
His actions were not as generous as those of the late Lord Shouyang.
But Li Yu always had a smile on his face, so it was a good thing if he accepted it, and he didn't notice the weirdness on Zhan Yang's face.
"Mr. Jincheng, I didn't give any details in the court today. Now I'll tell you everything."
Li Yu was very happy in her heart, and she did the work after receiving the money.
"All ears, all ears."
"The people from Pyongyang arrived in the capital and told me that if I persuaded His Majesty to designate their Pyongyang man as the King of Korea, they would devote all their efforts to support the Ming Dynasty after reunifying Korea, and before reunification, they would give Ming Dynasty eighty silver The remaining 10,000 taels and the gold of 6,000 taels are very tempting to the officials in the court."
Zhan Yang originally thought that Li Yu would be very nervous when he heard this, but he looked calm: "Pyongyang rebels, idiots are talking about dreams, not to mention 800,000 taels of silver, even if it is 8 million taels, the Ming Dynasty will not go If you order them to be sealed, they are short-sighted and there is nothing to worry about."
After finishing speaking, Li Yu laughed twice again.
Zhan Yang. The two of them looked at each other and wondered where Jincheng Jun's confidence came from. He must be a fool.
His Majesty was tempted by the eight hundred thousand taels. If it had been eight million taels, His Majesty would have sent troops to attack Seoul with the Pyongyang army.
But is the matter that simple? Zhan Yang then thought about it. Could it be that Li Yu was an expert and believed that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to publicly proclaim Pyongyang the King of Korea? That's why he was so unscrupulous.
But the piggy smile on his face shouldn't be that of an expert.
And Zhao Fu firmly believed that Lord Jincheng was indeed not very smart.
He cleared his throat and said: "Jincheng Jun, although your Majesty does not agree, aren't you afraid that the Ming army in Liaoping Prefecture will want the money to support them with military equipment, food, or even directly send troops to help them."
After Li Yu heard Zhao Fu's words, he still waved his hands and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible..."
"Then the commander-in-chief of the Ming army in Liaoping Prefecture is the Marquis Wuyang of the Ming Dynasty. How could he covet this money?"
"What's more, as long as His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty does not agree, even if Wu Yanghou has an idea about this money, he will not dare. My two lords, don't worry. When spring starts tomorrow, he will send his army northward again. It won't be out until March. Root out the traitors in Pyongyang.”
Zhao Fu said coldly: "Mr. Jincheng, has he never been in the army?"
Li Yu was stunned when he heard this. Could it be that the Ming general was questioning his ability to command troops?
"The general is outside, and the emperor's orders are not respected. What's more, the matter of seeking the king in Pyongyang, North Korea, is not a glorious thing. Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty, will not say anything about it, and will not restrain the Liaodong army. Even if Shi A general who leads his troops south to help Pyongyang's army will not be punished."
Zhao Fu said calmly, just shy of clarifying the last layer of meaning.
Pyongyang has set a price, and now it gives you the opportunity to lower the price. If you want it, or if Shi Heng does it to you, the court will not care.
Only now did Li Yu understand something. According to the logic of normal people, he should not admit that Pyongyang has so much silver and gold to confuse people in the Ming Dynasty. But this Li Yu clearly does not follow the logic of normal people.
"Then what should we do? Eight out of ten of North Korea's many years of storage have been placed in Pyongyang..."
After listening to Li Yu's words, Zhan Yang nodded calmly and asked quickly: "Why are they all placed in Pyongyang?"
"Actually, I didn't know it before. It wasn't until after the Shouyang rebels were killed that I discovered such a large sum of money from the treasury's allocation list. All the ministers in Jixian Palace said it was because Lord Shouyang often traveled to and from the Ming Dynasty, and he made such an arrangement after learning a sage's words."
"What are the words of the saint?" Zhan Yang asked.
Li Yu thought for a while and then said, "It seems like you shouldn't put your eggs in one basket, but you shouldn't put them in too many baskets either."
Zhan Yang was stunned for a moment, which saint said this.
"Then what you mean is that in North Korea, Lord Shouyang has two baskets, one is Seoul and the other is Pyongyang."
Li Yu nodded: "His subordinates have been in the north for many years, so Pyongyang City is another basket for him."
Zhan Yang came here, firstly to reprimand, and secondly to investigate and confirm whether this huge sum of money in Pyongyang City existed.
Unexpectedly, Li Yu could reveal such a big secret so easily.
Zhao Fu waved his hand: "Jincheng Jun, let's not talk about the basket anymore. I would like to ask you, in your opinion, when can we see the city of Pyongyang."
"When spring blooms next year, it will be the day when our North Korean army enters Pyongyang..." Li Yu looked yearning.
Zhao Fu looked at Li Yu's vows and confident expression. He sighed and couldn't help but think, with your IQ, when the spring comes next year, you will be beaten to pieces.
"But why hasn't Pyongyang been invaded for so long in the sixth year of Chenghua?" Zhao Fu asked.
This question made Li Yu a little embarrassed. He looked at Zhan Yang, then at Zhao Fu, and said: "Winter came a little early this year..."
Everyone had a dinner at Lord Jincheng's house. After they had had enough wine and food, Li Yu actually offered to send two Ming Dynasty officials back to another courtyard.
There are no further arrangements...
This made Zhao Fu, who was very interested, suddenly confused.
Because when he and Zhan Yang came, Zhan Yang told him to learn to disguise when he first arrived in North Korea. The censor of Xudu pretended to be a villain addicted to women and in love with money, which made Lord Shouyang treat him If you relax your vigilance, you will kill him with one strike.
And Shilang Zhan also told Zhao Fu a secret. When the censor of Xudu returned to the capital, he also brought with him a stunning beauty, a gift from Lord Shouyang.
This is the custom in North Korea. Women will be given away if they don't agree with each other. Shouyang Jun also tried to give it to Zhan Yang, but Zhan Yang sternly refused.
General Zhao will definitely be like a wild beast in the forest and a fish in water when he arrives in North Korea...
But now Mr. Jincheng actually wants to see off guests...
What about your customs?
What about your hospitality?
Too much, too much...
However, Jincheng Jun Li Yu didn't say anything about giving a woman away. When they first met, Zhao Fu couldn't rush to get her. At that moment, he could only return to the other courtyard honestly and spent a difficult night...
