Chapter 706 Multiple bets
Cui Ying and Xin Tun had a life-and-death feud. When Xin Tun was in power, he was imprisoned and tortured for the crime of marrying an eunuch, and Cui Ying was forced to suffer but was forced to admit.
Xin Tun’s party member Li Delin, who was in charge of the interrogation, planned to execute him. Fortunately, Zheng Sidao, who guarded Hepu against the Japanese pirates at that time, firmly opposed the execution of Cui Ying, so he only reduced her official rank above the third rank, confiscated her land and servants, and exiled Yingde County...
With such a big enmity, how could the Cui family tolerate the son of Xin Tun sitting on the throne, the hatred of the country and the family, so under Yao Guangxiao's persuasion, they surrendered to Daming, which brought Daming's control over the Korean family one step closer.
Zhu Di shook his head and said: "No need, I guess Li Shuai must have the same meaning, and there should be a military order later."
"yes."
Zhu Di glanced at the generals below. There are not many people who are really useful. The children of the aristocratic family shy away. They are not expected to go to the battlefield, but there is no way.
What's more, no matter how many children of the aristocratic family are bad, the family background behind them is solid. Whether it is on the battlefield or in the court of Korea, they can greatly fight for his interests.
As Northern Yuan arranged for Shen Wang Tuotuo to kill Liaodong, the situation in Goryeo began to change frequently, especially after Zhu Di also arrived.
From the original desire to sway between Mongolia and Ming Dynasty to gain benefits, it has changed to whether it can maintain vested interests and continue to extend the family's wealth under the control of Ming Dynasty.
This also split the aristocratic family in Goryeo. Li Renren and others thought that they still had to support their own people. Since Li Chenggui had already entered the eyes of the Ming crown prince, why not follow the trend, at least their interests were the same, that is Try to maintain the original order.
And Xin Tun's party members in Jiang Side's hands, that is, the emerging scholar-bureaucrats, naturally have different interests from the old aristocrats. They also resisted this decadent dynasty and wanted to break it and establish it.
They wanted the old order to be broken, so they flocked to His Royal Highness King Qi from Ming Dynasty, expecting a new order dominated by them to be established.
It also includes some nobles in the middle and lower reaches. The majority of the interests of the nobles are not on them, and the family is gradually declining. Since there is nothing at all, they dare to gamble.
And there are people like the Cui family who are willing to turn to Zhu Di, which is an extreme example. Apart from being dissatisfied with Xin Tun, the Cui family is also a political enemy with Li Renren. But Cui Ying is unwilling to be inferior.
In the past year, Li Renren's personality has changed a lot, or he was forced to change his personality a lot. The strong support of so many aristocratic families also represents a strong demand. If there is no return, he will be abandoned.
Become the leader of the power, the benefits are distributed by you, and the credit is all entrusted to yourself. Similarly, the guilt also needs to be borne. This is the price of power.
After Li Renren came to power, he was corrupt, formed a party for personal gain, used his power for personal gain, annexed land, seized slaves and servants, and appointed officials according to the degree of bribery, which caused a serious problem of redundant officials.
The slaves and maidservants in the countryside are all over China and abroad, and all the generals come out of their door to compete for their imitation.
All these made Cui Ying dislike and dislike, and made him feel that if he continued to hang out with them, it would be hard to end well, so he chose King Qi of Ming Dynasty.
In fact, if it is true, it is really not a good idea to choose King Qi. After all, who knows what is going on with Daming, and whether the crown prince will really support King Qi to take over Goryeo.
Once there is a slight change, all the investment will be in vain. Instead, it is not as good as Li Chenggui and Li Ren. If Ming wants to govern Korea, it cannot do without the natives anyway.

Yao Guangxiao held the black pieces to play the chess, and the old man on the opposite side waited intently, surrounded by four charming girls, and green smoke rose from the exquisite and elegant incense burner.
The old man relaxed a little after he knocked down, took a sip from the teacup beside him and said with a smile, "The Jurchens came and said that they would like to share Liaodong with me, Goryeo, ha ha, a group of savages who drink blood know how to join forces .”
Yao Guangxiao didn't respond, he moved very quickly, as if he didn't need to think, making the other party shake his head and smile bitterly, knowing that the overall situation was settled, he started playing leisurely, and it would take a lot of tricks to eat him.
Yao Guangxiao raised his head slightly: "It's so good."
"The little monk is not a Buddha, how can he fulfill the wishes of others, if there is something in the left servant, it is better to go to Jiang Angel or Li Xiang."
"It's easy to make icing on the cake, but hard to give charcoal in the snow. I'm more greedy."
"Greed creates anxiety, greed creates fear, and if there is no desire, what is there to worry about? Knowing that too much desire is suffering, life and death fatigue, all arise from greed, and having less desire and less action is the only way to be at ease."
Qing Qianxing was born in a Liangban family originally from Cheongju. He served in important positions such as military judges, privy judges, and ministers. important members.
After Xin Na came to power, he was removed from real power and named Qing Yuanfu Yuanjun.
The life of an official slave is hard to come by, but Jiang Side saved his life. When Xin Jin was killed and recovered, he should be in the same party as Li Renren and others, because Li Renren originally chose to support King Shen from Mongolia and fell out due to political differences. , now idle at home.
Qing Qianxing stood up and looked coldly at the monk opposite. His eyes were triangular and shaped like a sick tiger. Although he had a peaceful demeanor, it also made people feel uneasy. Having such a skeletal face is by no means kind and absolutely Non-Buddhism can suppress its roots.
Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and slightly looked up at the opponent, until he couldn't bear it and left angrily, then lowered his head again and put the chess pieces back into the chess box one by one.
In another courtyard, Jiang Side was holding a beautiful and plump woman in his arms to make fun of. This is the prostitute of the Anshan Jin family, the daughter-in-law of the Poping Zhao family, a decent Korean lady, but it was just his occasional visit. Just playthings.
A man dressed as a butler entered, and Jiang Side patted the woman's round buttocks with a smile, telling her to wait in the inner room. The woman stood up supporting his shoulders, gave the butler a charming look, and then swayed away went in.
Jiang Side took out a handkerchief, wiped his fingers and said, "Qing Qianxing is gone?"
"I have already left the house, and it seems that I broke up unhappy."
"That's good, we will work together together, and I don't want to get blood from my colleagues on my hands."
The butler sat directly opposite Jiang Side, took a sip from the teapot, and then wiped his mouth.
"Is this monk really so capable?"
"Hehe, what do you think of me?"
"Master Jiang is an incomparable national scholar. Without you, our brothers would not be able to do things so smoothly in this foreign country."
Jiang Side threw the handkerchief aside and said with a smile: "I don't dare to do it. I'm not afraid that Commander Jiang will make jokes. Most of my abilities are on these women."
Jiang Yu's expression did not change: "There have been beauties since ancient times, and this female flow woman can also change the situation. When I work in the military captain's mansion, I often look for opportunities from this. As long as things can be done, there is nothing wrong with using any means. "
After talking for a while, Jiang Yu withdrew. The arrangement for opening the capital was smooth, and it was basically done. He is now going to meet His Royal Highness Qi Wang. In the final analysis, it depends on who has enough military power at the critical moment.
Jiang Side did not enter in a hurry, but got up and went to the study to write a letter to His Royal Highness. The situation in Korea was unpredictable, too many people wanted to bet, and they wanted to bet on multiple parties. There was not enough dealers.
Either loose Yao Guangxiao's shackles, or send someone with sufficient status from Daming. He doesn't care who among these people can win the bet, and the dealer will not lose.
What Jiang Side said just now was a bit modest, but he was not completely humble. He still deserved at least 40% of the credit for the errands he did in Korea.
Playing with women is not an easy matter. You have to have an explanation for how to play with someone, and you have to make everyone happy. Otherwise, if you play around, break the rules, break the dignity, and make many people dissatisfied, His Royal Highness will ask killed him.
But that's only three or four points of the credit, and the rest must be attributed to the monk. His wisdom is far-reaching, it's frightening, no wonder His Highness wants to rein in it.
