Chapter 178: Hidden Dragon Goes to Sea (1)

Chapter 178: The Hidden Dragon Goes to the Sea (I)

"I'm looking forward to a lot, which one do you bring?" Li Wei was smiling and letting Luo Guang sit down.

"There are two things. The first thing is that the Liaodong Dusi sent an urgent report that the Goryeo army once again invaded the north and occupied the land that had just withdrawn six months ago."

The smile disappeared from Li Weizheng's face. Seven days, just seven days after he met Zhu Yuanzhang, the Liaodong Dusi's express message arrived. This was far from what he expected to be at least half a month. He underestimated the efficiency of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. This little thing sounded an alarm bell in Li Weizheng's heart. He was a little too confident recently, but it was not the time to consider this matter. He took back his distracted thoughts and asked quickly: "Then what response does this matter have in Beijing?"

"No!" Luo Guangcai shook his head and said, "This incident has been reported from the Ministry of War, but it is like a mud cow entering the sea, silently. Everyone's mind is on the East Palace, and no one is interested in this incident."

Li Weizheng smiled. It should be like this. The land occupied by Goryeo is too far away. Although it should be within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the Ming Dynasty has never taken it back. In the eyes of all officials, it was just a place where the Jurchen barbarians lived. Moreover, Goryeo itself is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Under Goryeo, it was equivalent to Goryeo holding it for the Ming Dynasty. This is also the idea of ​​many people. Therefore, except for a few parties involved, this matter is not important in the eyes of others. It cannot be compared with the change in the East Palace. This is what he expected. It is best to complete this matter without realizing it.

Thinking of the Eastern Palace, he smiled at Luo Guangcai and said, "The second thing you want to say should be related to the King of Qin!"

Luo Guang was stunned for a moment, and he raised his thumb and praised: "Sir, it's so amazing, that's exactly what it is."

He took out a piece of Jinyiwei information from his arms and handed it to Li Weizheng and smiled: "Last night, the guy Shao Wenda actually went to the Yan Prince's Mansion in person and stayed in it for half an hour. Needless to say, we can guess why. The insider of our Qin Prince's Mansion also gave news. At noon, the Qin King, who had been locked up for three days, suddenly came out of the room. He first ate three bowls of rice, and then he found three personal guards with the strongest martial arts skills into the secret room to talk. We don't know the content of the conversation, but at this critical moment, I thought that it should be something that the lord was waiting for."

"You are right. This is indeed what I am waiting for. If I guess correctly, the King of Qin will take the risk." Li Weizheng sneered. Of course, he knew that killing Zhu Yunwen was the only chance for the King of Qin to enter the Eastern Palace. In the future, it would be okay to kill him. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes, he had a chance. The problem was that this was the King of Yan's plan to kill Zhu Yunwen with one stone. This would be the last time he borrowed the King of Qin's hand to blame Lan Yu in Dingyuan County and the King of Qin in Wuchang.

Just like the hands of the prince, the King of Yan has always been good at and passionate about the false hands. Besides, he will definitely have the opportunity to expose the King of Qin in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. How many years can Zhu Yuanzhang live in front of his descendants? The person who laughs the last is King of Yan. This is his King of Yan's dispute in the Eastern Palace. He usually doesn't show any expression, and takes action at the most critical moment, and he will kill the throat with one sword. Unfortunately, he didn't expect the Yellow Bird to be behind. Just as he didn't expect Han Danding to be behind, they just changed their positions.

At this time, Luo Guang had already realized what Li Weizheng said about taking risks. He was stunned. He couldn't come back for a long time. Oh my God! The King of Qin was actually going to assassinate the future Prince of the Eastern Palace. Even though he was knowledgeable and did not mess with things, he was still shocked by the courage of the King of Qin. His shock was slightly calmed down, and his eyes turned and he smiled: "Congratulations, sir, finally waiting for the opportunity to take revenge."

"No!" Li Weizheng shook his head gently. Luo Guangcai meant to use this opportunity to get rid of the King of Qin. If it were a few months ago, he would be impatient to do so and avenge his revenge. But now his idea has changed. He wants to keep the King of Qin. Li Weizheng ignored Luo Guangcai's puzzled gaze. He walked back and forth slowly in the room with his hands behind his back. He still needs to consider some details clearly. Of course, he knew that staying the King of Qin was a future for him. Maybe he would stab him when he would stab him. However, leaving the King of Qin with more profound considerations. He would have great help in the future and may fall on this stupid prince.

The change in Li Weizheng's thoughts lies in his position in this chess game. In the past, he has always been a chess piece in other people's chess boards. From Zhu Biao to Zhu Yuanzhang, his destiny was in the hands of others, but now he has changed from a chess piece to a chess player, and the King of Qin has become a piece on his chessboard. He will use this person to play the greatest role in the future. It is a pity to get rid of him now.

"Sir, do you mean to let the King of Qin do it?" Luo Guangcai felt that he could not keep up with Li Weizheng's thoughts.

"Of course not. You have to listen to my arrangements this time." Li Weizheng told Luo Guangcai a few words and said to him: "This matter must be done immediately, and your Jinyiwei must also report to the emperor in time."

"I understand, let's do it now!" Luo Guang bowed and left hurriedly.

Li Weizheng thought for a while, then he hurriedly walked towards the gun room.

There were not many parties involved in the capital during the Liaodong Incident. One was Li Weizheng and the other was Sun Jiatai, the Minister of War. He advocated giving up Danluo Island in exchange for the land occupied by Goryeo. The other was Zhu Yuanzhang who made the final decision. Of course, he was the king of a country and the noble of the Nine Five. Even if he knew that he had made a mistake, he would not bear this responsibility, and of course Li Weizheng would not bear this responsibility. In the end, this responsibility would be fully borne by Sun Jiatai, the Minister of War.

At this moment, Sun Jiatai knelt in front of the side hall steps of Zhonghe Hall, with his head hanging down, and accepted the imperial edict given to him dejectedly by Zhu Yuanzhang. The voice of the edict was loud and powerful, and he used extremely concise language and a very decisive tone to judge the end of Sun Jiatai's career.

"...Sun Jiatai was responsible for the Goryeo Incident and was especially relieved of his position as Minister of War and Chief Executive Officer, demoted to a commoner, and will never be hired for life. I admire this!"

Sun Jiatai was completely indifferent. In fact, what did Gao Li do for him? He insisted on giving up Danluo Island, but he was the envoy of Zhan Hui. He asked him to come forward, but in the end he was the one who took the responsibility, but Zhan Hui was unscathed. How unfair is this? In fact, what did Zhan Hui have to do with him? It was just the King of Yan instructed him to cooperate with Zhan Hui to act. Now that he has lost everything, where is the King of Yan? Can he make up for it?

Sun Jiatai's face looked like earth, and he responded in a trembling voice: "I thank Your Majesty for not killing you!"

Two great Han generals next to him went forward one left and right, took off his black hat and his official uniform. Sun Jiatai only wore a white silk shirt and left in a mess and in a dismay.

Just fifty steps away from the left of the stairs, Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of the window, looking indifferently at Sun Jiatai's desolate back. There was no sympathy in his eyes. Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to know what Sun Jiatai was thinking. A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said to himself: "Don't worry, Zhan Hui will not be able to escape sooner or later."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to deal with Zhan Hui for the time being. Zhan Hui was a capable dog. He bit Li Shanchang to death in the case of Li Shanchang, leaving him with a place to use his skills, and then cook him slowly after the cunning rabbit died.

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the imperial case and sat down. He once again received the 800-li urgent memorial from the Liaodong Dusi. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Li Wei really knew Goryeo so much, did he know that they would betray their faith?

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time before he came to the conclusion. Perhaps he had really seen through Li Chenggui. He believed that the Liaodong Dusi had run away to death for the 800-mile memorial. Li Weizheng could not have known this seven days earlier than the Liaodong Dusi. It should be his foresight. It seems that this person can make a difference in dealing with Goryeo.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry at everything. He did not show any anger in Goryeo's treason. In fact, as early as the 23rd year of Hongwu, when Goryeo crossed the Motianling and set up Wanhu Mansion in Jizhou on the ocean, he was angry. He was ready to send troops to teach Goryeo a lesson. However, at that time, he was restrained by the Northern Yuan and had no time to look east. Now that the Northern Yuan is almost destroyed, he can free up his hands to teach this small country that is ignorant. Li Chenggui's treason gave him an excellent excuse. He can now send troops without any scruples.

Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly considered the plan to send troops to Goryeo. The Ming Dynasty had eight guards in Liaodong, with nearly 50,000 troops. Then he established the Liao Kingdom, and used the 15th sonzhi as the Liao king to be the vassal of the Liao king. He could transfer 30,000 troops directly under the defending country to Liaodong. In this way, there would be 80,000 troops in the Liaodong area, which would be the main force to attack Goryeo. With the 80,000 troops of Ningwang as the support, the victory of Goryeo could be determined in one battle.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually decided two years ago that the lord general who attacked Goryeo in the future was his fifteenth son Zhu Zhi. He had considered the candidate for the deputy general for a long time. Although Lan Yu, Fu Youren, and Feng Sheng went to war, he had another idea. Goryeo was not as important as the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and it was actually not important. Teaching Goryeo is a bit like Lao Tzu's disobedient son. There was no need to mobilize all his troops. Zhu Yuanzhang considered giving him the

Crown Prince Zhu Biao trained new people. At that time, he was considering Chang Sheng, but afterwards he gave up this idea. Chang Sheng's sister was the Crown Princess of the East Palace and would be the Empress of the Palace in the future. If Chang Sheng was allowed to become an elder, there would be hidden dangers of the autocracy of the foreign relatives. Later, he considered Li Jinglong, but Li Jinglong was a famous playboy. He was not good at succeeding and was more likely to fail. He thought about several people in a row. In addition, the attack on Goryeo was not confirmed, so he temporarily let go of this matter.

But now he had to consider this issue again. The prince has passed away and the emperor Changsun is about to enter the Eastern Palace. He now wants to consider cultivating new people for the emperor Changsun. Obviously, Chang Sheng, Li Jinglong, Xu Huizu and others are no longer suitable. Not to mention the age, the key is that their seniority is one generation higher than Changsun and are also the founding heroes. In the future, Changsun may not be able to command them. He must choose a young and promising general who can make achievements with Changsun.

This person is about to emerge, and Li Weizheng is the most suitable candidate at the moment. He is familiar with Goryeo and has led the navy. The most important thing is that he is loyal to the prince and Changsun, and is a useful person. Zhu Yuanzhang was already considering this issue when he met Li Weizheng seven days ago, but he decided to let Changsun finalize this matter.
