Chapter 559: luck

Chapter 559 Fortune

Checked whether the wax seal was intact, Zhu Biao opened the envelope casually, which was brought by the Korean mission, that is, the Korean mission that was drowned in the storm, and a few people were lucky to survive.

When they arrived in the capital yesterday, Zhu Biaoben thought that there might be something dark and dirty about it. After all, the current situation in Korea is really complicated, and the conflicts and conflicts between the various forces have basically reached their peak. The new King of Korea is just a puppet.

But after inquiries and investigations by the pro-military captain’s mansion, Jiang Yu, the commander and acquaintance, personally confirmed to Zhu Biao that the matter was purely accidental.

Zhu Biao read the letter carefully. In the past few months, Zhu Biao has not intervened in the government affairs of Goryeo, because it is unnecessary, and in such a turbulent political situation, it is normal for the situation to change three times a day. Now, even if Zhu Biao takes one step at a time, it is difficult to predict accurately. It is better to let Jiang Side, Yao Guangxiao and the others adapt to the situation.

Although the situation is complicated, the result is still as expected by Zhu Biao. The new king succeeds, but his identity is not a secret among the upper echelons.

The Koryo royal family was naturally dissatisfied, so it became the primary target of the two major factions, the old and the new. They didn't care who was the king, but believed that the new king was not born enough.

After a few months, the royal family has inexplicably died of three clan kings. The new Korean monarch Wang Xuan was also poisoned and seriously ill. Fortunately, he survived in time, otherwise Zhu Biao would have another headache.

These are just the casualties of the royal family, and the casualties in the officialdom of Goryeo are even more serious. Xin Tun has been in power for many years, and I don’t know how many people have been promoted through his path. Now they will naturally be purged. It’s okay to have a family behind them. It's hard to escape death.

This is also a counterattack by traditional forces against emerging forces. Xin Tun was able to gain momentum back then because King Gongmin was dissatisfied with the nobles who controlled the government, and hoped to use external forces to break the deadlock and check and balance all parties.

Xin Tun was naturally opposed to the nobles of Goryeo. During his administration, he naturally promoted many ordinary people from poor families who were also oppressed by the nobles, and appointed new scholars who had passed the imperial examination and were familiar with Confucianism, such as Lin Pu, Zheng Mengzhou, Yin Shaozong and others.

Zhu Biao looked at the list sent by Yao Guangxiao, and he and Jiang Side jointly protected quite a number of Xin Tun's party members. With the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty as his backer, Li Renren and others did not dare to go too far.

This group of people was carefully selected by Yao Guangxiao. They didn't approve of Xin Tun's policies, but they were all extremely dissatisfied with the current situation in Korea.

Moreover, these people also have great longing for Ming Dynasty, thinking that Emperor Ming is the true dragon emperor who is destined by heaven, the continuation of the orthodox Central Plains dynasty, and their real monarch, who will inevitably bring order to the vassal state.

This is actually the main thing. Zhu Biao was also very happy when he saw the list. This number was much more than he expected. The role that time can play is no less than a hundred thousand troops. It is an important pillar necessary for rule, and the more the better.

Thanks to the invasion of Confucian culture, what Koryo used, learned, and wrote for many years were passed down from the Central Plains, and the influence of official learning will undoubtedly play a great role in the future.

This is also the reason why Zhu Biao will focus on Goryeo first, because the foundation has been laid so well. In this era, it is not an exaggeration to say that Goryeo is a remote province in the Central Plains.

However, the pursuit of the country is not destined to be smooth sailing. Although Goryeo has reached the end of the period and the royal family has lost its power, the power of the aristocratic families has reached its peak. From the two groups of ministers in the capital to the generals in the capital, down to the officials of the local Taoist government Landlords are basically born in a family or servants of a family.

They may be decayed, but their size is already extremely large. If Zhu Biao does not intervene and allows them to develop, then the period of Koryo's subjugation is not far away, but the one who will start a new dynasty must still be a family that wins through mutual compromise , the people have no chance.

But now that Zhu Biao is following him, the situation is naturally different. There are also smart people in Goryeo, who probably saw that Ming was planning to annex Goryeo, but there was no other way, so he simply prepared to gobble him up.

Jiang Side also said that the ministers who have made good friends with him recently are alienating and isolating him intentionally or unintentionally, asking if there are major changes in the grassland, and also said that there are rumors that the Empress Dowager Mingde is planning to abolish the new king and establish the king Shen who is still in Liaodong. The new king of Goryeo, the gossip in the capital of Goryeo is endless.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao understood that facing Daming, the royal family and the nobles still reached an agreement. Daming was too strong. There is no spare power to interfere in Korea's internal affairs, the best of both worlds.

It’s not a surprise, beasts know how to protect themselves, let alone people, but the general trend is in my hands, so what’s the point of stubbornly resisting, it’s just that there are more people who have to be liquidated in the end.

Zhu Biao wrote back to ask Jiang Side and Yao Guangxiao to stabilize the situation, not to seek merit but to be innocent, and not to be afraid of being isolated, there will always be people who want to hedge their bets, be lenient and wait for appeasement, he will cut off the claws stretched out from the grassland , that Tutuobuhua will die suddenly soon.

"Liu Jin"

Zhu Biao focused on writing the letter at his desk, and came back to his senses after subconsciously giving an order. The two eunuchs who were waiting on the side did not dare to answer but did not dare to be indifferent, and hurriedly knelt down and waited for the order.

"Tell someone to tell Jiang Yu and order him to come to the palace tomorrow morning."

The two eunuchs looked at each other and answered with bitter faces. The ones who have been able to run errands for the prince these years are basically Liu Jin or his godson. They are looking forward to this opportunity and their eyes are almost bleeding, but this opportunity is really lost. When it came to them, they were caught off guard.

Who is Jiang Yu, the second-in-command of the pro-military Duwei's mansion, who is only responsible for the Holy Majesty and the Prince, and it is already dark, where do they go to find someone to pass on the message, they can't just call a guard, in case it is top secret news If it gets out, they will all lose their heads.

With a slumped head and a feeble promise, Zhu Biao sighed helplessly and said: "The Dongjiao Gate has always been guarded by people from the pro-military captain's mansion, so you just pass the order, and naturally someone will pass it on to Jiang Yu. "

Zhu Biao is not angry. He has never done it before, so he has no experience.

One of them took the order and the other stayed behind to wait on him. It seemed that he wanted to pour tea but was afraid of disturbing the prince. Zhu Biao continued to write at his desk, and casually ordered: "Go and make a new pot of tea. I like to drink Lushan tea at night." cloud."

"Nuo" the **** was overjoyed, but he still tried his best to maintain his excitement. He quickly got up and bowed to leave to make tea. They were afraid that this rare opportunity would never come again. This was the first time they had the chance to serve the prince personally for so many years. It's their turn.

They are all slaves, if you want to get ahead, you have to look at this, whether you pour tea for the master or stay overnight, it doesn't matter what makes you stand out, it's all about qualifications.

Zhu Biao sealed the letter after writing it. Liu Jin was not around, so he had to put it away by himself, and handed it to Jiang Yu for them to send out tomorrow. At this time, a cup of tea with a fragrance was at hand.

Zhu Biao picked it up and blew gently, and the **** beside him hurriedly knelt down and begged: "Master, the tea is still very hot, drink it later."

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Does tea only have to be drunk?

Looking at the misty tea mist in front of her eyes, she said: "Among the smog of thousands of mountains and the mist of all phenomena, this tea is the most fragrant and beautiful at this time."

The **** breathed a sigh of relief. If the crown prince drank the tea he brewed and burned his lips and tongue, it would be considered trivial for him to be killed alive. Sure enough, serving the nobleman is a matter of luck or disaster.
