Father can be an enemy to the country

Indeokgung Palace, archery range.

Li Chenggui begged the two highnesses not to drive him away.

"Aren't you going to get rid of me? Are you going to be allowed to rebel here in front of me?" Zhu Zhen looked at him coldly and said, "I just said, 'It's not trivial, it's not big, it's punished by the Spring and Autumn Annals,' but now you dare to disobey me!"

"Do you know what it means that the father is the guide for the son, and the king is the guide for the minister?" Zhu Ye echoed from the side.

"Yes, yes, I really realized my mistake." Li Chenggui said with tears: "I am just asking for mercy from the heaven. Your two highnesses are so noble and have no intention of disobedience!"

"Why didn't you ask for mercy from the Yuan Dynasty people back then?!" Zhu Zhen said in a louder voice.

"They are arrogant Tatars and can't talk sense." Li Chenggui whispered.

"So you are resigned to the arrogant Tatars, but you are bargaining with us here, right?" Zhu pointed at him and cursed: "You dog, you think a gentleman can bully them, right? Then you made the wrong idea. We are also very arrogant towards small countries that play tricks on us!"

"Yes, I quit." Li Chenggui quickly kowtowed. "Whatever your Highnesses say is what you say, and I will just obey it."

"Oh, he looks so pitiful." Zhu Zhen looked at Zhu and said, "Otherwise, we can sacrifice the virgins and widows."

"Don't, you are not a child, but some are." Zhu Da shook his head and said, "Now that there is no war, our Ming army also has countless bachelors, waiting for the court to find wives."

"Cheng Gui has already spoken, so let's give him this face." Zhu Zhen sighed: "Besides, it is too barbaric to forcibly recruit women from the country. We can't be as unloving as Meng Yuan."

"Oh, you said so..." Lao San curled his lips and no longer objected.

In fact, this was something the two brothers had already discussed. They knew that this would definitely not be possible with their father. The old thieves are so concerned about face. If they knew that they asked Gao Li to sacrifice virgins every year, even widows, they would be able to spread their asses.

The reason why they still have to perform like this is nothing more than creating a card in the void and then canceling it, which is considered as a concession to Agui.

"Thank you, Your Highness. On behalf of the tens of thousands of people in Goryeo, I kowtow to your two Highnesses." As expected, Li Chenggui also had to thank the two Highnesses for their kindness.

"I will definitely build a shrine for you and set up a memorial tablet for immortality, so that future generations will know the kindness of your two highnesses!"

"Now you have an explanation?" Zhu Zhen bent down, took out the handkerchief and handed it to Li Chenggui: "There's nothing to worry about, right?"

"No, no more." Li Chenggui quickly took it with both hands, pressed his forehead and said, "I will definitely follow the old rules of the Yuan Dynasty and follow them one by one."

"Okay." Zhu Zhen patted his shoulder and said in a more soothing tone: "Don't worry, the situation of Goryeo in the Ming Dynasty will definitely be far better than that of the previous dynasty. In a few years, both the government and the public will praise you as a consul... Oh By the way, I don’t think it’s necessary to be so rigid. The King of Korea has to be the prime minister of this province, so it’s not a bad idea for you to be the prime minister.”

"Really?" When Li Chenggui heard this, his eyes instantly lit up, forgetting the previous humiliation and pain. He wagged his tail and begged more and more willingly: "I dream of becoming a minister of the Ming Dynasty, not a minister of ministers!"

"Of course it's no problem." Lao Liu said with a smile:

"Of course, our Ming Dynasty has abolished the provinces. In the future, we should ask Goryeo and other places to accept the imperial envoys."

"Then, what is this Chengxuan... What is the difference between the Chief Envoy and the Province?" Li Chenggui asked hurriedly.

"To put it simply, the power of the province is divided into three divisions. The three divisions are the Chief Envoy Division in charge of government affairs, the Chief Envoy Division in charge of criminal names, and the Chief Envoy Division in charge of military affairs. The Chief Envoy, the Imperial Envoy and the Metropolitan Commander The commanders and envoys are of the same rank and rank and do not report to each other. They all report directly to Nanjing."

Lao Liu asked with a smile: "We have discussed that these three positions will be given to the three of you. But you have the most credit, so you choose first."

"This..." Li Chenggui secretly regretted hearing this. This is much worse than the provincial prime minister.

But he knew it very clearly and knew that the most important thing now was to exclude the King of Korea from the third division. In this way, even if the King of Korea grows up, he will still be a decoration and no longer a threat to himself.

Therefore, the top priority is to quickly occupy these three positions. As for which one you want?

First of all, we can rule out the inspection...

As for the chief envoy and the capital commander, one is in charge of government affairs and the other is in charge of military affairs. They are both very important. But neither Zheng Mengzhou nor Jin Tao were both weak scholars. If they were made the commanders of the capital, they would not be able to take away their military power.

"Then I will be bold and choose the chief envoy." Li Chenggui said bravely.

"Then who will be the inspector?" Zhu Zhen continued to ask without comment.

"Zheng Mengzhou just made it clear that he is the right candidate." Li Chenggui replied.

"What about the capital commander? Let Jin Tao be the commander? Isn't it too inappropriate?" Zhu Zhen said with a slight frown.

"Lao Liu, have you forgotten? The Chief Envoy Department has one chief envoy on the left and one on the right." Lao Liu pretended to remind him: "Let A Gui be the chief envoy on the left and Jin Tao be the chief envoy on the right. As for commanding both sides. Well, I think it’s better to send someone from China, so that we can help Agui and the others act like evildoers.”

"Ah..." Li Chenggui was speechless, and then he realized that he had been tricked by the two highnesses again. They had already known that they wanted to occupy both ends, so they deliberately let themselves choose, so that they could logically leave the command and envoys to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

But how could he dare to say half a word 'no'? He could only force a smile and said: "This is the best. With the support of the commanders from the Ming Dynasty, what else do we have to fear?"

"This is the right attitude." Seeing that the training was successful, the two brothers praised Agui for finally becoming sensible.

Then Zhu Zhen gave him another reassurance and said: "Don't worry, the Celestial Empire will not take advantage of you. The two of us promise you that after you give up the Shuangcheng General Manager's Mansion, you will be granted the title of Hereditary Prince of Hancheng by the imperial court." , how about taking the Hanyang area as your fiefdom, it won’t be a loss, right?”

"It's not a loss, it's a bloody profit!" Li Chenggui was immediately overjoyed. Hanyang is the best land in Goryeo. It is not only a rare riverside plain on the peninsula, but also located in the heart of the peninsula. Whoever controls this place controls the lifeblood of the country. It is much more valuable than the bitter cold land in the northeast.

Because of this, Hanyang has always been a forbidden area for the royal family. It was one of the three smaller capitals of Goryeo besides Kaijing, and was known as 'Nanjing'. Of course, I would never dare to use this title again.

If the Li family's power is moved to Hanyang, then Li Chenggui will be the real master of Goryeo!

Thinking of this, Li Chenggui blushed and kowtowed to the two highnesses again, vowing to obey their orders in this life and never disobey the two highnesses, otherwise he would be punished by heaven and earth and his whole family would be killed!

Zhu and Zhu Zhen looked at each other and knew it was okay. A Gui has been tied to the waistband of Ming Dynasty for the rest of her life...
