Father can be an enemy to the country

Chapter 305 Nephew lighting a lantern

Kaesong, Indeokgung Palace, and archery range.

Two archery targets have been shot into hedgehogs. Amidst the clicking sound, arrows continued to hit the target.

This is Zhu and Li Chenggui competing in archery.

The rules are simple. Two people stand a hundred and fifty steps away and shoot a hundred arrows each. The one who hits the most targets wins.

The two of them each shot eight pots, and finally the winner was determined. Li Chenggui started to miss after fifty consecutive shots, sometimes hitting and sometimes missing. And Zhu has always hit the mark.

After shooting the last arrow and missing the target, Li Chenggui put down his bow, moved his sore arm and said, "The last general will lose."

"You are very good." Zhu Wenwen shot the last arrow and said calmly: "I win because I can shoot left and right."

Under the umbrella at the back, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was watching the battle. He woke up after hearing the sound and applauded: "Well done, good shot."

"It's not as good as your snoring." The third brother rolled his eyes at him, put down his bow and arrow, walked under the umbrella, and sat down on the recliner.

Then a fair-skinned and beautiful Goryeo palace maid offered tea and fruits.

The third brother smiled evilly and said, "You guys feed me."

The palace maid then brought the cut fruits and tea cups to His Highness Prince Jin for him to enjoy.

Lao Liu deeply doubted whether the third brother could not lift his arm either? But in front of outsiders, you have to save some face for the third brother.

It was not broken.

"Chenggui, why don't you have a cup of tea?" Zhu Zhen called to Li Chenggui who was standing aside.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Chenggui hurriedly took it, his hands shaking so much that he spilled the tea. I don’t know if it’s fear or hand cramps.

"I dare to come here for archery today. It seems that I have thought clearly about how to go in the future?" Zhu Zhen asked slowly.

"Yes, I have already thought it through." Li Chenggui quickly drank up the tea, knelt down with the tea cup in hand and said loudly:

"The minister has already thought clearly, 'The Spring and Autumn Annals will punish small things that are not important.' Therefore, I must follow the Spring and Autumn Annals to be the most loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and make Goryeo the most loyal vassal of the Ming Dynasty!" "

"Hahaha, let me tell you." Zhu Zhen heard this and smiled at Zhu: "Chenggui is great and has a high level of understanding."

"It's true." Zhu Ye smiled and said to Li Chenggui: "'Small things don't matter, they are punished by the Spring and Autumn Annals.' That's a good saying. But it's not enough. You have to remember another sentence - a woman can't do anything. Marry two husbands, and be loyal to both masters!"

"Yes, please remember that I am a member of the Ming Dynasty in life, and a ghost of Ming Dynasty in death. As long as I am alive, the same will be true for Korea!" Li Chenggui nodded heavily.

"Remember these two points, Daming is your most powerful supporter." Zhu Zhen raised his hand and said: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Chenggui thanked En and stood up.

"Sit down." Zhu Zhen pointed to the little Maza in front of him.

However, Li Chenggui was flattered and thanked him again and again. Although he only rested his horse and pulled up his buttocks, his waist was straight and straight.

"The Cui Ying problem you were worried about before is no longer a problem." Zhu Zhen gave him another sweet date and said, "He will lead the Baishou Army to serve in the Ming Dynasty soon."

"Ah, really?" Li Chenggui was overjoyed when he heard this. He had thought that their highnesses would leave Cui Ying to check and balance him. I didn't expect that Cui Ying and his Bai Shou Army would all leave Goryeo!

"Now, no one in Korea can be your opponent, right?" Zhu Zhen asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Li Chenggui nodded hurriedly. "I will not disappoint your highnesses."

"Do you know what to do so as not to disappoint us?" Zhu Youyou asked.

"Minister," Li Chenggui knew that the time had come for his highnesses to make demands. Where in the world is there a free lunch? Your Highnesses helped you get Gaoli, so you will naturally have to repay them. He then gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to do my best to please His Highness!"

"That's not necessary. If Goryeo becomes impoverished because of its filial piety to the Celestial Empire, our Ming Dynasty will also be in disgrace." Zhu Zhen and Zhu exchanged glances, and the former said: "We brothers have discussed it and don't make any special requests. Okay... everything just follows the old rules of the Yuan Dynasty."

"This..." Li Chenggui's head buzzed, an old practice from the Yuan Dynasty? The Yuan Dynasty's control over Goryeo was unprecedented, not to mention unprecedented.

In addition to what was mentioned before, the Zhengdong Province was established in Goryeo, and it was stipulated that the King of Goryeo should marry a Mongolian princess as his queen, and that the crown prince of Goryeo should grow up in Dadu of the Yuan Dynasty when he was young.

The Yuan Dynasty still stationed two thousand Mongolian soldiers outside the King's City of Goryeo, and five thousand Mongolian soldiers were stationed in Jinzhou, Goryeo... What, you mean the Mongols on Tamna Island? It was the private domain of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. What did it have to do with the Korean people?

In addition, the Yuan Dynasty also set up "Daruhachi" in Goryeo. "Daruhachi" in Mongolian means the one who holds the seal, which can be understood as the supervisor of the Yuan Dynasty stationed in Goryeo. After Wokuotai, Emperor Taizong of the Yuan Dynasty, conquered Goryeo, he left 72 Daru Huachi in various capitals, prefectures and counties of Goryeo to closely supervise the Goryeo regime at all levels, including the King of Goryeo.

The Yuan Dynasty usually appointed the King of Goryeo as the left prime minister to conquer the eastern provinces, and the right prime minister was Daru Huachi sent by the Yuan court. Without the seal of Daruhuachi, not even the King of Goryeo could issue any decree.

The Yuan Dynasty also required Goryeo to build and maintain post stations and roads at its own expense in order to strengthen control; regularly ask for huge tributes; provide virgins and widows; and provide army military supplies during wars... It was simply treating Goryeo as a slave, strictly confining it, and demanding it at will.

How many years did it take for Goryeo to finally get rid of the Yuan Dynasty when it was just taking advantage of the Yuan-Ming Dynasty? Will the Ming Dynasty come again? Could it be that Goryeo was forced to suffer repeated losses of life?

And the most terrible thing is that the territory of the Yuan Dynasty that Goryeo secretly occupied while the world was in chaos will naturally belong to the Ming Dynasty. That's not just Tamluo, but also the eight states and five towns in Liaodong, including his Shuangcheng General Manager's Mansion!

If I agree, I'm afraid I will become a 'Koryeo national thief' that everyone despises, right?

~~

Seeing that Li Chenggui pursed his lips and remained silent, Zhu Zhen sighed and said, "It seems that you only said it clearly, but you still didn't think clearly in your heart."

"You keep claiming to be Ming's most loyal minister, but it turns out it's all nonsense!" Zhu Ye sneered, grabbed the teacup on the table, and threw it in Li Chenggui's face.

Li Chenggui did not dare to dodge. His newly healed forehead was broken again and blood flowed all over his face.

"No, no, I am naturally loyal." Li Chenggui did not dare to wipe it off, and quickly leaned over to explain: "It is true that the Yuan Dynasty was too cruel to Goryeo. If I follow the old practices of the Yuan Dynasty, I will definitely be cast aside by the whole country and die without mercy. Burial place!"

Then he kowtowed and cried, "Your Highnesses, please show mercy."

"You fart." Zhu Zhen scolded angrily: "If it is true as you said, why are there so many people in Goryeo who miss the Yuan Dynasty? Then how could Li Renren seek refuge with the Yuan Dynasty even if he murders us?"

"That's right, I think he just thinks we are too talkative!" Lao San also said with a sullen face: "Why should we support such an ungrateful despicable person? I think we should let Cui Ying go, and we can take her with her quickly. Let the war horse return home.”

"Well, okay." Zhu Zhen nodded, waved his hand and said to Li Chenggui: "Go away."

"Your Highness..." Li Chenggui heard this and shouted sadly: "No!"
