I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 365 Seeking help from the Jurchens

Just when Li Erzhan was thinking about it again and again, he heard the music in Jiaotai Hall suddenly stopped, and bursts of noise suddenly came from inside.

Immediately after the palace door was opened, Jin Ze walked out in a hurry, stood in front of him and bowed his head and said:
"Mr. Changfuyuan, His Highness invites you in."

After he finished speaking, he took small steps forward, walked to Li Erzhan and warned him quietly.

"Just now, His Highness was having fun and drinking with Jin Shang Palace. His Highness was displeased when he heard the report. I would like to ask Mr. Chang Fuyuan to be cautious in his words later."

After listening, Li Erzhan glanced at Jin Ze and nodded, then secretly calmed his thoughts, tidied up his appearance, and walked in with a smile.

As soon as he entered the hall, a pungent smell of rouge hit Li Erzhan's head, making him feel very uncomfortable.The female musicians in the palace stood on both sides of the palace, leaning on their instruments and the dancers looking at him with some fear.

It was just that Li Erzhan had no time to take care of the delicate girls. Instead, he looked straight ahead, where he saw a beautiful bearded old man in red robe and gauze hat sitting at the head of the hall, looking at him angrily, with a face full of displeasure.

There was also a plain-looking woman in colorful Tang clothes beside him. She completely ignored his arrival and was still clinging to Lord Guanghai like a fox. It was completely disrespectful!This person is none other than Jin Jieshi, who is deeply favored by Lord Gwanghae and holds all the power in the harem.

"Your Majesty, Li Erzhan, pays homage to His Highness. It's really presumptuous for me to come so quickly overnight. Please forgive me."

The old man in red brocade robe snorted coldly when he heard what he said, and said angrily:

"Get up, Mr. Changfuyuan. There must be something big going on here so late, and you actually came to Jiaotai Hall. Do you know that it is a serious crime to break into the harem without permission?"

"What your Highness said is absolutely true. The Lord of the Court can sneak into the harem so late at night, saying that he just wants to see His Highness. I'm afraid no one will believe it. If Your Highness doesn't take action on this matter, then who will do it next time?" I can change hands with my troops and horses."

Li Erzhan couldn't help but feel angry as he listened to Jin Jieshi's weird and eccentric expressions, insinuations and false accusations against him.

Kim Jie Shi was originally a palace maid, and she was originally favored by Gwanghaejun's father, Seonjo of Joseon. After Seonjo's death, he "changed his clothes and served" Gwanghaegun.

However, although this man was young and unattractive, he was so cunning and cunning that everyone underestimated him.Especially because Jin Jieshi had the "secret recipe", Gwanghae-kun fell under her skirt like a lost soul and couldn't extricate himself.

Even though Jin Jieshi was only a minister in the palace, not even a concubine, but he could pamper the harem, even Liu, who later became the princess, was forced to be at a disadvantage.

Even if Gwanghaejun wanted to visit a concubine in his harem, he had to obtain her permission first.The women in the harem were angry but dared not speak out. In order to see Li Hui, they tried their best to bribe Jin Jieshi.

If that's the case, forget it, Li Erzhan thinks it's nothing.But this witch was not only satisfied with the harem, but also often interfered in the affairs of the foreign court through Lord Guanghai's favor, and always opposed him, making him hate this monster so much that he even wanted to get rid of her.

"Your Highness, it's not that I have to do this, but I have something big to report. Please step aside while I tell you something important."

Hearing what Li Erzhan said, no matter how confused Guang Haijun was, he would definitely understand that something big had happened.So with a wave of his hand, the musicians and maids in the palace immediately left, leaving only Guanghaijun, Jin Jieshi, and Li Erzhan.

"What important thing does my beloved have to do that you would bother to disturb the harem at night?"

Seeing everyone leaving, Lord Guanghai was not polite and directly asked Li Erzhan why he came.

Although Li Erzhan still didn't want to say anything when he saw Jin Jieshi, but seeing that Lord Guanghai had no intention of letting his beloved concubine go out, he could only sigh in secret and gave up, raising his hands to Lord Guanghai and saying:
"Your Highness is in danger. I received a secret report from my disciples, indicating that the Imperial Guards had already arrived in Seoul and were in contact with Lord Lingyang Li Zhuo. When I heard this, I was shocked and sent people to secretly investigate and found that Lord Lingyang Li Zhuo and Minister Wenban were Secretly contacted, and even Li Xingli, the right general who guarded Seoul, was bribed by him.

At this time, Lord Lingyang is probably sending his wife and daughter out of the city secretly. I boldly guess that Lord Lingyang Li Zhu is about to rebel, and I ask His Highness to send troops to suppress it quickly, otherwise it will be too late to regret. "

Guanghaijun was shocked when he heard this. He immediately broke away and threw away Jin Jieshi who was hugging him. He stood up and looked at Li Erzhan steadily and said:
"Is this true?"

Li Erzhan nodded firmly when he heard this.

"Your Highness, if there is a lie, why would I risk great disbelief and rush into the harem to report a serious crime? This matter is absolutely true. Please make a decision quickly, Your Highness."

Li Erzhan's words made Guanghaijun sober up immediately. He no longer had any interest in having fun. As he spoke, he paced back and forth in the hall and began to think.Jin Jieshi also knew that this matter was of great importance, and he also made crazy calculations, thinking about how to get a hand in it.

"You're right, Dang Duan has been constantly rebelling against it. In addition to the garrison troops and horses of the right general Li Xingli, the people in Seoul now include Zheng Renhong's imperial army.

Zheng Renhong is deeply trusted by me. He and Lord Lingyang have never dealt with each other, so I believe he will not be bribed by him.For the current plan, the only way is to let Zheng Renhong strike first and get rid of the military power of the right general Li Xingli, and then take the people in Seoul. "Listening to Lord Gwanghae's arrangements, Li Erzhan nodded repeatedly. He thought that Lord Gwanghae deserved to have experienced the Imjin Japanese Rebellion, and he still had the ability to deal with important matters calmly in times of crisis.

"Your Highness said, no matter how much trouble you make, Lord Lingyang has no military power and cannot make any big waves. As long as Li Xingli is eliminated, Lord Lingyang will have no chance of escaping. But this must be done quickly, not later." Change.”

After all this planning, Lord Guanghai settled down and was far less panicked than before.But after hearing Li Erzhan's words, he did not respond, but fell into deep thought.

"Hey, Lord Lingyang's matter is minor. I just didn't expect that Ming Kingdom would join forces with Lord Lingyang. It seems that Ming Kingdom is very dissatisfied with me. They actually sent Jin Yiwei to contact Lord Lingyang. I'm afraid of what might happen. How should we explain that Mingguo knows about my actions?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Erzhan was slightly startled. He actually had such doubts when he first heard the news.What if the Ming Dynasty blames him? You must know that Guanghaijun has not been the legitimate son since he was a child, and he has always been disliked by the Ming Dynasty after he came to the throne.

In addition, Li Erzhan also understood the various back-and-forth behaviors between Lord Guanghai and the Jurchens during this period, so it was not surprising that Ming Guo had intervened in this way.

"Your Highness, there is nothing we can do about the matter now, so what if the Ming Dynasty doesn't like it. You were appointed by King Injo, but you are still afraid that the people of the Ming Dynasty will be speechless. Now they have sent people to instigate Lord Ayang to rebel. This is not the style of a great country. They should be more afraid of us. Exposure is the key. Therefore, we only need to kill Ayang-kun. As long as he dies, it will be useless even if the Ming Dynasty Jin Yiwei comes."

Guanghaijun, who was pacing back and forth, shook his head when he heard this. He naturally understood how displeasing Mingguo was to what he did.Now that I saw that the Ming Dynasty had taken action, I suddenly felt a little panicked. I simply didn't believe that the Ming Dynasty would give up.

"Li Aiqing, what do you think about asking the Jurchens for help?"

Li Erzhan, who was standing in the main hall, was immediately shocked when he heard Lord Guanghai's plan. He shook his head quickly and said to him:
"No, Your Highness, this must not be done. If it is done, wouldn't it give the Ming Kingdom a reason to interfere?"

"If I don't do this, I'm afraid that if the Ming Dynasty takes advantage of this to invade the country with troops, what should I do?"

Guanghai Lord Li Erzhan shook his head in opposition. He was very clear about what he had done. First, he wantonly delayed the Battle of Sarhu, and then secretly signed a peace treaty with Nurhaci.I just don’t know if Ming Guo knows about it. If he knows, he will definitely not let him go.

Li Erzhan shook his head as he listened. Although he had great power and was deeply trusted by Lord Guanghai, he was still very grateful for the Ming Dynasty's aid to Korea. He believed that there was no need to be ungrateful, so he had always opposed Lord Guanghai's attempt to communicate with the Jurchens.

But just when he was about to object, a voice suddenly sounded from the hall.

"Your Highness, the Jurchens have a feud with the Ming Dynasty. Now the Ming Dynasty wants to unite with Lord Lingyang to rebel. Could such a treasonous and unethical thing be done by the superior country? Just in case, it is better to have contact with the Jurchens. If the Ming Dynasty really sends troops, it will be good to have someone to rely on.

Besides, Nurhachi wrote a letter before saying that he wanted to make an agreement with our country and also wanted to buy grain from our country. If we ask him for help, he will happily allow it. "

Li Erzhan watched Jin Jieshi stand up slowly and walked to Lord Guanghai. While stroking Lord Guanghai's chest and admonishing him, Li Erzhan couldn't help cursing in his heart.

"It's really impossible..."

As soon as he started to speak, he saw that Guang Haijun became more determined after hearing Jin Jieshi's words, and waved his hand to stop talking.

"Okay, stop talking. Mr. Changfuin, the Ming Dynasty has bullied me too much, and now they have joined forces with Mr. Ayang to rebel. How can I bear it? I have made up my mind. I will summon Zheng Renhong overnight to ask him to prepare. If you are ready, strike first to gain the upper hand. First, secretly get rid of the right general Li Xingli.

For the sake of long nights and many dreams, I will take action tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to deal with Lord Lingyang.As for delivering letters to the Jurchens, I will also send someone to arrange it, so you don't have to worry about it.You just need to cooperate with Zheng Renhong in the arrest. Remember, you must arrest him alive, and you must not let Ayang-kun escape or die. "

Li Erzhan wanted to say more, but seeing Lord Guanghai's series of orders, he helplessly nodded in agreement.

Lord Guanghai was very satisfied when he saw that Li Erzhan had given in. He was very grateful to Li Erzhan in his heart. Without his report, he would have lost his body and body.Thinking of this, he slowly walked up to Li Erzhan and said slowly:
"Mr. Shofuin, thank you for informing me today, otherwise Ayang-kun would have succeeded. Don't worry about the Jurchens. I have always known that they are ambitious people, and I will not let them in unless I have to. "

When Lear saw Lord Guanghai's promise, he thought that this was all he could do.But now he still has a question that he wants Guanghaijun to make up his mind about.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty are in Seoul right now. I just don't know if we will take action against them when we arrest them later."

Lord Guanghai was silent when he heard this. He thought for a while and sighed:

"After all, this is the Kingdom of Heaven, so we still have to save some face and don't do anything easily. Just let them watch."
