Father can be an enemy to the country

At this point in the conversation, Agui has already obeyed the words of the two highnesses. The kind that asked him to sacrifice his mother without any hesitation...

So the subsequent conversation went extremely smoothly. The two brothers only needed to give instructions, and Agui would nod and obey.

"Okay, that's all we have to say," Lao Liu finally said to him, "Do you have anything else to add? If not, just go back."

"There really is something." Li Chenggui looked around and hesitated.

Zhu Zhen waved his hand and repelled the palace maids and guards.

"It is our Queen Mother who wants to depose the current king and replace him with another clan member." Agui said softly: "Your Highnesses also know that the current king has some problems with his background."

"I know, Jin Tao said he might be Na Xin Min's son." The third child smiled and said, "I heard that your queen mother has always disliked him and refused to let him go to school. It turns out it's true."

"Yes, the Queen Mother dislikes the King very much." Li Chenggui nodded.

"But Agui, have you ever thought about it, isn't it good for the King of Korea to be like this? He is a child now and is easy to control. When he grows up, what if it becomes difficult to control him? You still have a trump card to play. If it were the King of Korea with a good background, wouldn't your card be gone?"

"Your Highness is so clever!" Li Chenggui said with a look of realization: "Chenggui is so stupid."

"Chenggui, don't abolish Li Li so easily. It would be good to learn from your neighbors to the east." Zhu Zhen said with a meaningful smile.

Li Chenggui had been fighting Japanese pirates for several years, so he naturally knew that the emperor of Japan was just a tablet, and the shogunate was the one who really held power, and the shoguns of the shogunate were also inherited from generation to generation through blood relations.

This method solved his last problem - how to inherit power. She couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude and said: "Your Highness has given everything to Cheng Gui, and Cheng Gui has never been as clear as he is now about how to take his future path. He is really Cheng Gui's reborn parent."

"Hey, Chenggui. This is because from the beginning, we valued you, not the King of Goryeo. Of course, you also have to make us look good. After we go back, we can also give our father a few compliments, right?" Zhu Zhen said with a smile.

"I understand, I understand. Agui understands it now." Li Chenggui nodded heavily, then with a sudden change of heart, he knelt down and said with admiration on his face:

"My father has passed away many years ago. As the saying goes, how can I be a parent without a father? Although I have only been with His Highness for a short time, I have been taught and cared for by His Highness, which made Agui feel his father's love again. If Your Highness does not give up, Cheng Gui is willing to be his adoptive father. I hope His Highness will make it happen!"

'Pfft...' The third child took a sip of tea and almost spit in his face. He laughed so hard that his stomach hurt and said, "My sixth child is going to have a son before he gets married?"

"Hey, third brother, don't say that. It's all Cheng Gui's filial piety." Zhu Zhen said without feeling ashamed: "Actually, I think Cheng Gui is also very kind, and age is not a problem..."

"My foster father, please accept my homage!" Li Chenggui quickly kowtowed to the ground for fear that the King of Chu would regret it.

So the sixth child was a handsome man in his forties...

~~

After Li Chenggui retreated, the third child praised the sixth child and said, "You kid, you've become a spirit. You've completely lost your temper when you handle him."

"I'm not that cool either." Zhu Zhen gnawed on the fruit and said, "It's just that Li Chenggui has reached this point and can't turn back. No matter what, he can only move forward."

"Yes, all this was already doomed the moment he killed Li Renren." Zhu nodded in agreement and praised: "But your arrangement for Goryeo is really too sophisticated - let Cui Ying and Bai Shoujun He left Goryeo and kept the King of Goryeo, who had a troubled background, but did not allow him to interfere in the affairs of the three divisions.

"Let Li Chengliang and Jin Tao serve as the chief envoys on the left and right, and let Zheng Mengzhou serve as the inspector, but leave the commander-in-chief to his own people." Zhu then said with his hands:

"In this way, we only need to station a few thousand troops in Goryeo and dozens of officials to control this rebellious country! This saves the court from having to go on a military expedition! Only today do I understand what it means to be a good fighter without great achievements. "

Because Goryeo and its predecessors would always make trouble when the Central Plains dynasty was declining, taking the opportunity to expand territory and plunder the population.

In addition, how can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

Therefore, after a powerful Central Plains dynasty is established, it will definitely be punished, just like the empire's adult trials...

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Yang Pu and Xun Shi to destroy the Wei Manchu Dynasty and set up four Han counties in the northern part of the peninsula.

During the Three Kingdoms period, after Emperor Wei Ming destroyed Gongsun's regime, he took advantage of the situation to pacify the three Koreas and completely included the peninsula in the territory. But after the collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty and the chaos in the Central Plains, the Central Plains dynasty's rule over the Korean Peninsula collapsed again.

When the Sui Dynasty rose, the "Haidong Three Kingdoms" of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla all professed vassalage to the Sui Dynasty. However, because Goguryeo took advantage of the chaos to occupy Liaodong, it triggered Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to conquer Goryeo. As a result, the Sui Dynasty failed to pass the test. It even directly led to the collapse of the regime.

As for Jutang, not to mention, with the cooperation of Silla, they first destroyed Baekje and then Goguryeo, and successfully passed the test.

Then came the Song Dynasty. Ironically, I was too scared to say, ‘How can I allow others to snore on the side of the bed?’ I didn’t even confiscate Youyan, and I was not qualified for the trial.

However, Goryeo also did not have a good life. It was ravaged by Liao, Jin and Yuan in turns, and they were beaten without any delay.

Now, it's Ming's turn to compete with Goryeo.

Unexpectedly, before Boss Zhu of Nanjing took action, the sons he sent to try him out easily took care of Gao Li...

It's so simple and efficient, comparable to the class of Thirty-Six Strong Men in the Western Regions.

"Actually, we have to thank the Yuan Dynasty." Zhu Zhen said with his usual modesty: "They basically domesticated Goryeo through various means, and we have the opportunity to use some means to firmly control Goryeo."

"And recently I have studied the history of the Koryo Peninsula and found that the authority of the King of Koryo is still too great. Goryeo is far away from the Central Plains, and the roads are dangerous, almost like an outsider. Once the Central Plains dynasty fell into civil strife, the officials and troops stationed in Goryeo became A tree without roots and water without a source.

"The Korean people will unite around the King of Korea, fight against the Central Plains people who oppress them, and always win and restore the country." Zhu Zhen said solemnly:

"So we should try to weaken the King of Korea while building another mountain, and then maintain the balance of power between the two sides so that neither of them can do anything to the other. In this way, the number one enemy of both sides becomes the other side, no longer us - their target is also It has been replaced from 'fighting for independence' to 'eliminating the other side'."

"In this way, in order to prevent us from supporting the enemy and to win our support, both sides must compete to show their loyalty to us - the centrifugal force will naturally turn into a centripetal force." Zhu Zhen finally smiled and said: "With this spontaneous centripetal force, We can control Korea without investing many resources."

"Wonderful!" Zhu applauded and praised: "Lao Liu, you are really a lao Liu. I can't worship your master as my teacher, so I will worship you as my teacher!"

ps. My trip to Korea is over and I will return to China tomorrow!
