Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 291 Li Chenggui Arrived

Under Chen Yunfu's authorization, the Sanfa Division quickly sent someone to Guangzhou to take away the hot potato from Shao Ziheng's hand.

As for how to investigate and deal with it after bringing it back to Beijing, that is the matter of Yu Lun, the minister of the Ministry of punishment. Chen Yunfu has no energy to care about such trivial matters now.

To Chen Yunfu, this incident was really just a very trivial matter, even though he knew that there was a high possibility that someone wanted to deal with him behind this incident.

There are too many people who have enemies with him, Chen Yunfu is too lazy to care because there are too many lice and don't bite people.

At this moment, all his energy is on Li Chenggui.

The latter is Jinling, who came to Jinling just before the New Year's Eve. He brought with him a mission of thousands of people. The tribute gifts alone pulled more than 200 carts.

The person came, but Zhu Biao didn't meet him, and just hung it in the post house of the Ministry of Rites. For more than ten days in a row, the only official of the Ming Dynasty that Li Chenggui could see was Huang Ting, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

In the first few days, Li Chenggui didn't think much of it. The bustling Jinling City attracted most of his attention. Just like Li Fangyuan who came here for the first time, Li Chenggui also felt that the Kingdom of Heaven really deserved its reputation. linger.

But Li Chenggui was not Liu Chan after all, and he was not too happy to forget about business. In just ten days, Li Chenggui began to urge Huang Ting frequently, and put forward his request to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

"This, no way."

Huang Ting shook his head, wondering: "My Majesty, the dragon is sick recently, so it's inconvenient to see guests."

Before coming to meet Li Chenggui, Huang Ting had already received instructions from Zhu Biao and Chen Yunfu in advance, knowing that Zhu Biao would definitely not meet Li Chenggui at this juncture.

But Huang Ting still left a word.

"Your envoy, if you have anything to do, you can talk to my young master, who is the chief minister of my court."

Li Chenggui had learned about it from his son Li Fangyuan a long time ago, knowing that the young master Huang Ting was talking about was Chen Yunfu, and his face was also happy at the moment.

"Okay, it's my honor to be able to meet the chief minister of Shangguo."

"Since that's the case, the noble envoy will stay here in the post house with peace of mind. I will report to the young master and make an appointment."

Huang Ting accepted the matter with a smile, but he also didn't give Li Chenggui the exact time.

Is Chen Yunfu free?

It's true that it's quite free at the end of the year, but no matter how free it is, it's not what Li Chenggui wants to see. Chen Yunfu is going to let him go for a while, at least he will have to kill Li Chenggui for ten days.

"If you do this, will Li Chenggui leave in a fit of anger?"

Huang Ting was still a little worried, thinking that doing so would be a disrespect for hospitality, but Chen Yunfu waved his hand indifferently.

"Until Li Chenggui gets what he wants, he will never be willing to leave."

This Li Chenggui has been able to get to the position he is today step by step, and he can be regarded as a rare hero in the land of the Three Koreas. This kind of character, being able to bend and stretch is a basic talent skill. Three points of humiliation, as long as he can give this man the title he wants, Li Chenggui will definitely bear it willingly.

In this way, in Li Chenggui's hopeless waiting, he finally received Huang Ting's letter of approval.

"Your envoy, please make some preparations. You will enter the palace with me tomorrow morning. The young master will be waiting in Wenyuan Pavilion."

"Okay, very good, thank you, Shangguan."

After waiting for more than 20 days, Li Chenggui, who finally saw the dawn of hope, was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. He paced back and forth in the room, his excitement was beyond words.

At the same time, Chen Yunfu was also looking at the map of Liaodong in his study.

"What Li Chenggui wants, I can give him, what I want, Li Chenggui must also give!"

What Li Chenggui wanted was nothing more than Daming's support or acquiescence in his usurpation of power, while what Chen Yunfu wanted was the rapid development of Liaodong in ten years.

That night, neither of them slept well.

Early the next morning, before Chen Yunfu entered the palace, an official from the Ministry of Rituals stood guard at Chengtianmen and delivered a letter to Chen Yunfu, saying that Huang Ting had brought Li Chenggui to Wenyuan Pavilion early in the morning.

What a rush.

Chen Yunfu shook his head, but felt much more at ease in his heart.

The sooner the better.

Bringing Yang Shiqi to Wenyuan Pavilion, as soon as he entered the door, Chen Yunfu saw Li Chenggui who was sitting opposite Huang Tingxiang. The latter looked tall and strong in his 40s. But still can't hide the strong military spirit.

This one can be regarded as a veteran of the battlefield.

Wufu mutinied and seized power, no wonder Li Chenggui from the original time and space was so unwelcome by Zhu Yuanzhang.

What Lao Zhu worried most in his heart was not that generals threatened the imperial power and interfered in royal affairs.

Lanyu Changmao is completely dead just because of the establishment of a reserve, not to mention a man like Li Chenggui who is ambitious to usurp power and seek the country.

Huang Ting, who was in the middle of a conversation, saw Chen Yunfu coming in, he quickly got up and saluted, and said, "See you, Young Master."

Li Chenggui was still in a daze before, he didn't know who it was, he just felt that this young man had an extraordinary temperament, and now he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Huang Ting's name.

Li Fangyuan said that Daming's young teacher was a young man, how could Li Chenggui have thought of being so young!

If you say that you are in the political arena at the age of 40 or [-], you can be called young in the last sentence, but Chen Yunfu seems to be in his early twenties at most, which is too outrageous.

Strictly speaking, Chen Yunfu is 26 years old this year, but there is no way, he doesn't like to grow a beard.

These days, the difference between men with beards and those without beards is naturally huge.

Because he doesn't have a beard, Chen Yunfu's face looks really tender.

It is a prejudice that has existed for thousands of years since the mouth is hairless.

Of course, this sentence is really useless for Chen Yunfu.

No one dared to say this in front of Chen Yunfu.

Li Chenggui got up nervously, followed Huang Ting's bow and said: "Li Chenggui, the envoy of the small country, see the young master of the Shang country."

"Haha, He Ning Dajun is too polite."

Chen Yunfu changed his face in a second, and took two steps forward to support Li Chenggui's arm, which was very strong and strong.

The latter said with a terrified expression: "Shangguo Young Master is in front of you, how dare you call me such a small minister, the young master should just call the young minister by his first name."

Li Chenggui's posture was humble.

Will Chen Yunfu be polite to him? Not at all.

Now that Li Chenggui had spoken, Chen Yunfu said directly, "Okay, okay, Benfu doesn't like that kind of pretentious politeness, come on, Cheng Gui, sit down."

While greeting Li Chenggui, Chen Yunfu stretched out a hand and gestured at Huang Ting, who was standing on the side and still bowing: "You sit down, too."

"Thank you, Master."

Both of them thanked the gift, but they didn't dare to move, they didn't dare to lower their buttocks until Chen Yunfu sat down first.

Huang Ting is naturally the standard sitting posture in the officialdom, and Li Chenggui was careless at first, but when he saw the former's so prudent sitting method, he hurried to imitate it.

Together, the two of them would probably be a hundred years old, but in front of Chen Yunfu, they looked like two ignorant and well-behaved elementary school students.

"Cheng Gui came all the way from your country, and he won't rest for a while, let the officials of Huang Butang and Honglu Temple accompany you to go shopping in Jinling City."

Li Chenggui smiled wryly in his heart, and still rested, if he continued to rest, there would be lice on his body.

He cupped his hands and said: "Young Master Lao loves you very much. These days, I have already experienced the magnificent scenery of the Shang Kingdom. It can be said to be an eye-opener. I am shocked by the Qionglou of the Heavenly Palace."

After only complimenting one sentence, Li Chenggui couldn't wait to say: "Young Master, the ministers are here. When they come here, they come here specially to pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor. Two of them just want to report to the Kingdom. All of a sudden, in the past two years, the royal family of Goryeo conspired against ministers, and His Majesty the Emperor of Shang Kingdom ascended the throne and changed the Yuan Dynasty, but the royal family turned a deaf ear to it.

Even if the subordinates tried hard to persuade them, it was useless, and the subordinates would never dare to be such a presumptuous minister, so I came to Jinling to pay homage to the new king, to express my heart. "

He was chattering a lot, Chen Yunfu didn't pay attention to it at all, what he said was all nonsense, probably with one meaning.

The current king of Koryo is nothing, but Li Chenggui is the only loyal minister of Ming Dynasty in the whole country of Koryo.

This made him say, if Li Chenggui was not allowed to be king, Chen Yunfu would be embarrassed.

Lifting the lid of the tea, Chen Yunfu covered half of his face, preventing Li Chenggui from seeing his expression.

"Last year, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne. It seems that Ryukyu and Annan are both personally visited by the monarchs, and other vassal states also sent missions. Only you, Koryo, the king does not come without missions. In my eyes, there is Am I Da Ming, or do you think of Bei Yuan in your heart?"

Li Chenggui was startled at first, but his mind turned quickly, and he immediately took up the conversation.

"Master Shao is right in his words. I have indeed discovered that the royal family of Goryeo has been in collusion with Meng Yuan for several years, and there are indeed plans to plot something wrong."

"What?" Chen Yunfu turned pale with shock, and suddenly said angrily: "As a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, I actually communicated with Meng Yuan in secret. I really don't know what is good or bad. I will report to His Majesty and send troops to ask for it."

Li Chenggui got up quickly, bowed and said: "Young master, please calm down, young master, please calm down. There is a saying that swords and soldiers are together, and people are dying. The servants are not only ministers of the upper country, but also people of Korea. How can I bear to see the three thousand miles of beautiful rivers and mountains destroyed in one go? Young Master, if you are angry, please punish all of your subordinates."

"The fault lies with the ignorant and rebellious royal family. It has nothing to do with you. How can I blame you for this?"

"Alas." Li Chenggui sighed heavily: "But the king is a king, and a certain is a minister, no matter what he is, the ministers can't persuade or stop him."

Having said so much, the play is almost done, Chen Yunfu answered the words and said directly.

"Since this is the case, Benfu will become the emperor and deprive him of the throne!"

It can be regarded as getting to the point, Li Chenggui had a happy face just now, and heard Chen Yunfu say again.

"However, the king, the king of the country, holds the divine weapon, which belongs to all the people, and cannot be lightly moved at will. If no one is king after being deposed, it will be the people who will suffer. Worry about the lives of all people. Don't be dismissed from the throne because of a small mistake, or reprimand the police. Give me a warning."

Li Chenggui was almost stunned by this blow.

How could it be so funny.

With a smile on his face, he sat down again.

Now it was Chen Yunfu's turn to frown inconspicuously.

You take the call.

It seems that Li Chenggui, who spent half his life as a soldier, is not good at talking, so what should we do?

While drinking tea, Chen Yunfu gave Huang Ting a wink.

The latter accepted the comprehension, and then said something.

"Young Master, there is a Dao that is a country, and those who are virtuous live in it. The ancient sages gave way to the stability of Li and Shu, but now the royal family of Goryeo is stupid, rebellious, short-witted and ignorant. How can there be a king in this way? I would like to ask Your Majesty, Punishment is heavy."

"I don't know this assistant." Chen Yunfu sighed heavily, glanced at Li Chenggui and said, "Abdication, abdication, the King of Koryo abdication, but where is this sage?"

Li Chenggui almost jumped up and raised his hand to say that he was there.

"That, young master"

"Don't mention this matter, I still have a lot of government affairs that I haven't dealt with." Chen Yunfu directly interrupted Li Chenggui, got up and said to Huang Ting, "Huang Butang, please stay with Cheng Gui for this assistant, and you must entertain him. Alright, otherwise, Honsuke will accuse you of guilt."

"Yes, please rest assured, Young Master, the subordinate officials will not dare to neglect."

Chen Yunfu slightly nodded at Li Chenggui, and walked away directly.

The latter was dumbfounded. After Chen Yunfu had left for a moment, Huang Ting woke him up softly.

"Your envoy?"

"what."

Li Chenggui woke up with a startled face, but he didn't say anything to Huang Ting, just sat down silently, holding the tea bowl in a daze.

The latter was amused in his heart, and immediately coughed lightly: "What's wrong with your envoy? But what's wrong with my hospitality?"

"No no."

"Then why does the noble envoy look so worried?"

Li Chenggui cupped his hands reluctantly and said: "I think about my hometown, and I can't help it for a while."

Are you thinking of your hometown or the throne?

It's not rare to break you.

Huang Ting chuckled, sat next to Li Chenggui, filled the latter with tea and said, "Since your envoy misses his hometown, it's better to go back earlier."

"So what can we do if we go back?" Li Chenggui sighed, "The king is going against the law, the court is in chaos, and the ministers might as well stay in the upper kingdom, out of sight and out of mind."

Huang Ting raised his eyebrows calmly, Li Chenggui is in his 40s, so why is he acting childish?

Did he really not understand, or did he pretend to be stupid and blackmail Daming?

"Your envoy, as the auxiliary minister of your country, is because the king has no way, so the noble envoy should go back to assist the king earlier and stabilize the country."

"If you have the way, loyal words are hard to hear. The subordinates are worried that disasters will come out of their mouths. If the advice fails, they will be killed instead."

Huang Ting laughed: "Since that's the case, let the envoy stay here. My Ming Dynasty has a vast land and rich resources, and the envoy and his party can still afford it."

After saying this, Huang Ting drank his tea silently, without even looking at Li Chenggui, so there was a long silence between the two of them, finally Li Chenggui couldn't hold back, and took the initiative to say: "Please help me, Shangguan." Save your ministers and save Goryeo as well."

"That's a serious word." Huang Ting put down his tea bowl, shook his head and said, "I'm just a mere minister, how can I have such great ability, the envoy entrusts me to someone else."

"Then I would like to ask Shangguan, who else can I turn to when things are up to now?"

"My majesty's dragon body is ill, and it is temporarily inconvenient to see guests. If your envoy has anything to say, you should find the young master."

Huang Ting stood up with a smile: "If your envoy has time, I will hold a banquet tonight. As for whether the young master has time, I will try my best to fight for your envoy."

Li Chenggui got up quickly and thanked him excitedly.

"So, thank you, sir!"
