night.
Jincheng Jun took a dozen dancers into the other courtyard where Zhao Fu was.
When Zhao Fu saw these dozen dancers, his eyes straightened. Only these could be seen.
At that moment, Zhao Fu glanced at Li Yu calmly.
"These are all for me, General."
Li Yu was also looking at these dancers, a little embarrassed, but he knew that for North Korea, he had to give up some of the things he loved.
Compared with Shouyang Jun's, his layout is not even the slightest bit different.
After holding it in for a long time, Li Yu said with a wry smile: "If General Zhao gets tired of playing with it, you can give it back to me."
After hearing Li Yu's words, Zhao Fu was stunned for a moment. Can he still get back what he gave away? This Jincheng Lord is really too small.
Seeing that Zhao Fu's face looked a little ugly, Li Yu panicked.
He hurriedly said: "General Zhao misunderstood, misunderstood, what I mean is, if General Zhao is tired of playing and can't relieve his boredom, you can return it to me, and General Zhao and I will exchange another batch."
After Li Yu finished speaking, Zhao Fu's face looked better.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to change the batch?
At that moment, Zhao Fu waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take him down, and then talked about business with Lord Jincheng.
"Hey, Mr. Jincheng, things are a little difficult to handle now." Zhao Fu said with a sad look on his face.
"Why is it so difficult?"
"The people in Pyongyang gave 800,000 taels of silver to Shi Heng for bribes, and Shi Heng received all the favors in front of our Ming Emperor. He was so arrogant that he secretly helped Pyongyang and gave them Food, weapons, this is why our armor is not as good as theirs, and our weapons are not as sharp as theirs."
"ah……"
"Then, doesn't the Ming court care about it, and His Majesty the Emperor doesn't ask about it?"
Li Yu was shocked. It turned out that he was not a waste of his own army, but that he had the help of the Ming army.
"The sky is high and the emperor is far away. No matter what, after Shi Heng got the batch of silver, he transported it all back to the capital and took care of it. Almost all the officials wore the same pants as him."
"Pants, Daming has such big pants."
Zhao Fu glanced at Li Yu who looked confused, forgetting that even though this guy had read the teachings of our Ming sages, our ancestors' culture was profound and profound, so he thought he couldn't understand it.
He immediately explained: "Wearing a pair of trousers means collaborating, secretly colluding, working together, and sharing the same hatred."
"Same enemy?"
"No, that's wrong. Anyway, they have a very close relationship. So, even if he helps people in Pyongyang, the court will not interfere because His Majesty doesn't know." Zhao Fu said slowly.
Li Yu finally understood.
It turns out that the Ming Dynasty also had rebellious ministers like Shouyang Lord, and Wuyang Hou Shi Heng was not a good person.
Without telling His Majesty the Ming Emperor, he bullied our honest and down-to-earth Koreans.
"Then the censor of Xudu also agrees with them?" Li Yu asked quickly. M.biQuge.biZ
He still has great trust in Xu Youzhen, and he also has a private feeling of admiration in it. He is able to achieve what he is today, but it is all because of Xu Youzhen's help. People should never forget their roots no matter what.
The censor of Xu Du, a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, would definitely not get involved with Shi Heng.
After hearing Xu Youzhen's name, Zhao Fu was also a little stunned. Xu Youzhen was not included in the rhetoric he originally thought of. No matter what, Xu Youzhen was there, so let's continue talking like Xu Youzhen.
"The Censor of Xudu, although he is noble and upright, Shi Heng has given too much. He is just an ordinary man. No one can resist the temptation. Why, you have a deep friendship with the Censor of Xudu."
After listening, Li Yu nodded firmly: "Yes, I have a deep friendship with Xu Du Yushi. No, no, it's a life-long friendship. We also wear the same pair of pants."
If he didn't know Xu Youzhen, and saw Li Yu's firm eyes and unyielding face, he would have really thought that Xu Youzhen had a life-long friendship with him.
But Zhao Fu knew Xu Youzhen.
Friendship, I asked your mother to sell mahuaqing, your friendship is that he sold you, and you helped him count the money.
Zhao Fu smiled awkwardly.
"The current situation is very bad. Shi Heng has always supported it. It is not certain whether this great Seoul can be saved."
"Ah..." Li Yu was completely panicked.
If you can't protect Seoul, you can't protect the country's leader. If you can't protect the country's leader, you can't protect yourself.
This is not okay.
"Then, what can we do?"
"Nowadays, there is only one way, which is to treat others with their own treatment."
"Pyongyang used money to bribe Shi Heng, so you use money to bribe Xu Youzhen and ask Xu Youzhen to help speak for Seoul. If possible, you can go to the capital in person, meet Xu Youzhen and tell all these things."
"Yes, I will prepare some gold and silver and go to see the censor of Xudu in person. The Ming Dynasty will definitely remove Shi Heng from his post. Then my army will be a great success when it goes north again."
"Hey, it can't be that simple. Now Shi Heng's position in Liaodong is indestructible and he is being favored. If you go here, you can at most guarantee that the Pyongyang rebels will not counterattack Seoul."
After hearing this, Li Yu's face suddenly drooped, with a look of grievance on his face. Zhao Fu looked at it, his heart moved, don't tell me, Li Yu is young, fair-skinned, good-looking, and slender...
His grandma’s, what am I thinking?
Zhao Fu quickly shook his head, Long Yang's kindness was not advisable.
Seeing Zhao Fu keep shaking his head, Li Yu was embarrassed to still think he was Zhao Fu. Li Yu stood up and said: "General Zhao. I want to meet the king, prepare some gold and silver, and go to the Ming Dynasty to visit Xu Duyu history."
"Okay, I'll give you a revised book and you can take it with you."
"That's great."
After saying that, Zhao Fu also stood up, walked to the desk, and wrote a letter to Xu Youzhen.
Most of them talked about the danger of Seoul, and I begged the censor of Xudu to mediate and let Shi Heng guarantee that Pyongyang's army would not attack Seoul.
After finishing writing, Zhao Fu dried the ink, put it in an envelope, pressed the ink pad on it, and handed it to Li Yu.
In fact, this letter is not very useful for Seoul, but for Zhao Fu, it is very useful. First, it is a threat. He will give you money. I know this. If you want to enrich your own pocket, you will definitely get into trouble. , the second is to show merit, he gave you the money, it was me who facilitated it, and I have to share the credit.
"How much money are you going to bring with you?"
"About five thousand taels."
After hearing this, Zhao Fu suddenly took the letter back and said, "Is it appropriate for me to give you 800,000 taels and 5,000 taels? You don't want to give this letter to the censor of Xu Du. I, Zhao I can't afford to lose that person."
Five thousand taels to send to beggars, isn't this a waste of time?
"Hey, General Zhao, look, these five thousand taels are already quite a lot."
"Xu Youzhen is not a person with a small appetite. It's not worth offending Shi Heng for five thousand taels of silver." Zhao Fu said coldly.
"How much do you think we should take?"
Zhao Fu raised three fingers.
"Thirty thousand taels, this, is this too much..."
Zhao Fu's face is getting darker and darker, am I so out of luck? Shi Heng gave Daming 800,000 taels, but I, Zhao Fu, can only get 30,000 taels.
"I'm talking about three hundred thousand taels of silver."
"Wha, what, three hundred thousand taels. Our annual tax revenue from North Korea is only six to seven hundred thousand taels. We are still at war, so we can't get it out."
Zhao Fu turned around and walked to the chair and sat down again.
"If you can't get it out, you don't have to go to the capital. It's useless." At this moment, Zhao Fu was about to explode with anger.
This guy is really a miser. There are few people in Pyongyang and it is poor. He dares to directly send 800,000 taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for secret support. You, Seoul, occupy the richest place, with many gentry and wealthy businessmen, and are reluctant to give out 300,000 taels. Silver moving relationship.
There is no harm without comparison.
"Well, then I'll report it to the king first. General Zhao, I'll take my leave first." With that said, Li Yu walked out in despair.
Looking at Li Yu's desolate back, Zhao Fu secretly shook his head, a child cannot be taught.
Li Yu went to the palace overnight, summoned a group of ministers such as Cheng Sanwen, and told them all what Zhao Fu said to them.
Suddenly there was an exclamation in the whole hall.
In fact they are not poor.
Almost all the property and fields of Lord Shouyang and his followers were confiscated, and they could make up the amount in cash.
But Mr. Jincheng still couldn't bear it.
Not only Lord Jincheng was reluctant to part with him, but also these ministers were reluctant to part with him.
But the small country leader Li Hongwei was willing to do so.
"Xu Youzhen, a Shangguan of the Ming Dynasty, helped Gu Zhu kill the traitors. When he left Korea, Gu did not see him off. We sent these 300,000 taels of silver from Korea, firstly to thank the censor of Xu for rescuing him, and secondly. In order to prevent the Pyongyang rebels from getting bigger, Gu felt that Lord Jincheng should go to the Ming Dynasty capital and thank His Majesty the Ming Emperor for his kindness on Gu’s behalf.”
Although Mr. Jincheng and this group of ministers were incompetent, they were indeed loyal. After Li Hongwei's words came out, everyone agreed.
Then he started to collect money and write a letter of credence. Jincheng Jun went to Zhao Fu again and asked for a letter.
Tens of days later, after collecting enough money, they loaded the ship and set off.
This is the first time Jincheng Jun Li Yu has embarked on a journey to the Ming Dynasty, and he is quite excited...
But he didn't know that a small fool had lured him to a big fool...
