Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 506: Being a dog for Ming Dynasty has a bright future!
Although he only exchanged a few words with His Highness, Li Chenggui's whole back was already covered in sweat.His Highness separated "Korea" from Li Chenggui. Only Li Chenggui himself knew what this meant.

He, Li Chenggui, did have a treasonous thought in his heart.The Wang family of Goryeo has been suffering from evil for a long time. For hundreds of years, Goryeo was just a mere "consort kingdom".All the kings in the past dynasties wanted to go to Dadu to marry the noble daughter of Meng Yuan, which was like marrying into a wife.The entire Goryeo Kingdom was also allocated as the "Eastern Conquest Province" of the Yuan Dynasty, without any dignity at all.

Although after the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty withdrew from the Central Plains, Goryeo regained part of its sovereignty.But just like the slaves who had been imprisoned for many years suddenly gained freedom, the Goryeo nobles became more civilized, martial and playful, enjoying themselves as much as they wanted.

Although due to the great power of the Ming Dynasty, everyone in Korea quickly recognized the Ming Dynasty as their father.But having knelt before the Mongols for nearly a hundred years, Goryeo's legs, which were used to kneeling up and down, still swayed like a reflex when faced with the Mongols.Although the whole country respected Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, they still secretly supported Meng Yuan and hindered Ming Dynasty.The new king Wang You even restored the "major policy" towards the Yuan Dynasty, thus bringing Goryeo into a state of Yuan and Ming dynasties.

The two ends of the head and the rat dare to move to the table. This is exactly like the old man eating arsenic - it's the end of the world when he gets tired of life.

The countdown to the Goryeo Dynasty was clearly beginning, which gave Li Chenggui the idea of ​​replacing it.He took control of the country's military power by conquering the Red Scarf Army and Japanese pirates. On the surface, he was a loyal minister and general of Goryeo, but secretly he hid himself and coveted the throne of Goryeo.

He never told anyone about this ambition.Now it seems that the prince in front of him has seen through it.Is there any reason for Li Chenggui not to hesitate?
"Chenggui is the Chenggui of Goryeo. His Highness King Wu of the Shang Dynasty separates Goryeo and Chenggui. I don't know why?"

"I am no more than a Goryeo general, so how can I be worthy of doing any business with you?"

He couldn't speak, so he reluctantly argued.Zhu Su took his appearance into his heart and thought that after all, this stick only had this little background and ability.If it were Lao Zhu who started his own business, even if he was beaten by others, he would not have let the news slip easily.

He unfolded the folding fan in his hand and said:

"The Wang family leads Goryeo, but they act on both ends and are obstructing it secretly. I will be dissatisfied early in the morning."

"What's more, he is of Mongolian blood after all. His bones are broken and his tendons are broken. There is such a country sleeping soundly beside my bed. How can I, the Ming Dynasty, sleep peacefully on my bed?"

"Your Majesty...what do you mean, Your Majesty?" Li Chenggui's heart was beating wildly.

"Korea doesn't have to be Goryeo, and you, Li Chenggui, don't have to be just Fuyuanjun. Do you understand?" Zhu Su pointed to Li Chenggui.

Li Chenggui's heart was already beating to his throat.The prince of the Shang Kingdom has almost made things clear.Daming was dissatisfied with the Wang family of Koryo secretly communicating with Beiyuan, intending to depose the Wang family and support others to rise to power!
If he can get the support of the Ming Dynasty... He, Li Chenggui, will not only have an extremely powerful backing, but his voice in the court will also be able to advance rapidly!
Li Chenggui's face turned green and red, wavering between continuing to quibble or making his ambitions clear and gaining support from the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, it was the latter who gained the upper hand, and Li Chenggui spoke cautiously: "I know what your Highness means. However, there are still traitors such as Zheng Mengzhou and Li Renren in power in our country. Although I have military power, it is difficult for me to interfere in the affairs of the government..."

As he spoke, he boldly raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Su.His original idea was to "cheat" Jeju Island away from the Ming Dynasty, and use this credit as a stepping stone to his entry into power.

But now that His Highness is here, this idea will definitely be difficult to implement.

"Stupid." Zhu Su sneered at Li Chenggui's idea. "The Goryeo Dynasty has become a mess. If you rush to stir it up, what good will it do?"

"Do you really need the support of the Korean government and the public? If you can win the favor of me, the Ming Dynasty Emperor, when you enter the capital of Korea as King Qin, you only need to hold my Ming Dynasty canonization in your hand, and the whole nation of Korea will not dare to eat the pulp from the pot. To welcome your royal master?"

"In troubled times, military power is the most important. Political power comes from the blade, and everything else is empty. Only when you manage your military power well and always be in the military camp, you will be as stable as Mount Tai. Leave the military camp and go to the middle of the court to fight with those old foxes. Isn’t this taking advantage of one’s own shortcomings to take advantage of the enemy’s strengths?”

"If the enemy jumps over the wall in a hurry and quarrels with you. The central court is their territory. If you go, won't you be like a meat bun beating a dog?" "On the edge of the knife... bring out political power!"

Zhu Su was good at seducing people step by step, and Li Chenggui's eyes gradually became clear.He understood what Zhu Su meant. Indeed, as long as he acted as a good dog for Ming Dynasty, at the critical moment, an imperial edict from Ming Dynasty would be more effective than Li Chenggui had been running the court for decades!

Moreover, military power is his foundation. Staying in the barracks and having the support of Ming Dynasty is more than a hundred times safer than what he thought before.Almost invincible!

"My sect, Li Chenggui, thank you His Highness King Wu for your advice!" Li Chenggui was also a ruthless person. Just now he was trying to trick Zhu Su, but now he just lost his face and admitted that he was Zhu Su's lackey.

Zhu Sumuying and others felt a chill and had a deeper understanding of this Goryeo prince.Li Chenggui said again: "Your Highness, I have another matter. If a certain person does not join the court, if the court wants to take away his military power and kill the rabbit, how should he deal with it?"

"Simple." Zhu Su said. "My king came here to use this island as a bridgehead to eradicate Japanese pirates."

"The eradication of Japanese pirates is our Ming Dynasty's national policy, so we naturally need your full cooperation from Korea. However, General Lanyu stationed here only knows you, Li Chenggui, but not the other miscellaneous Korean generals."

"Do you understand?"

"Got it! Got it!" Li Chenggui's eyes lit up.Nowadays, Goryeo's military forces are almost all designed to fight against Japan.If the Ming Dynasty stationed in Jeju Island only recognized Li Chenggui, the Goryeo general who resisted the Japanese, even the Goryeo royal family would not be able to easily remove him as the commander-in-chief.

After all, Gao Li is a son, and everything he does depends on his father's face.

Li Chenggui was overjoyed and returned home with a full load.But he also knew what Zhu Su meant.When Zhu Su mentioned the word "deal" just now, he naturally pointed out that the support given by Ming Dynasty was not completely free of desires and demands.He, Li Chenggui, should also take the initiative and hug Daming's thigh tightly.

Therefore, after Li Chenggui left, he not only sent the [-] shi of food and grass that he had just agreed upon to reward the army, but also sent an additional [-] shi of grain, three ships of fine wine, and some cattle and sheep, in the name of rewarding the Heavenly Soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom. To the Ming army on Jeju Island.

He also promised to pay tribute every month from now on. He, Li Chenggui, would cover all the baggage needed for the tens of thousands of Ming troops to support their troops.Nothing else, just to show Li Chenggui's support for the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the mountain of supplies sent by Li Chenggui, Lan Yu was happy. "Your Highness, we and Duke Wei previously said that everything will be fine on Jeju Island this time, but the food and grass logistics are too dependent on sea transportation and cannot be guaranteed."

"But I didn't expect to be sent to such a victim. Hey, that man named Li Chenggui is really good!"

Lan Yu didn't understand the previous confrontation between Zhu Su and Li Chenggui. She only knew that Zhu Su's few words were enough to scare Li Chenggui into bleeding a lot for the Ming army.However, Mu Ying was worried and found an opportunity to grab Zhu Su privately: "Xiaowu, if you support Li Chenggui, do you want to write to your adoptive father first to explain it?"

"This Li Chenggui is a usurper after all. What do you mean by saying 'power emerges from the edge of a sword' and saying 'Koryeo does not have to be Goryeo'."

"Goryeo is a country, big and small. If you teach him these methods of rebellion, if someone reports it to his adoptive father and makes him fearful..."
