Chapter 186 Want Yang Lianzhenjia's life, but also his money
King Goryeo said: "I came to Dadu for two days, but the emperor did not summon him, and the prince did not summon him. Why is that?"
The right deputy envoy Jin Fangqing replied: "The king is the son-in-law of the Dayuan Emperor. Why don't he go directly to the palace to meet him in the name of filial piety?"
The left deputy envoy Li Qian shook his head: "It's not appropriate. This time we are a mission to celebrate the birthday. Of course, according to the law of the vassal states, the emperor did not summon him and met him without authorization. I am afraid that it would make the emperor dislike him."
King Goryeo said: "I also think about this. In a few days, it will be Christmas. Logically, the emperor should have summoned him long ago."
Several important officials of Goryeo looked at each other and thought of a bad possibility.
This is the Yuan court deliberately neglecting. Why do we deliberately neglecting?
The King of Goryeo really wanted to ask the Queen of Goryeo, but since he came to Dadu, the Queen has ignored him and has not shown up yet.
Li Luo of course knew why the Goryeo delegation was neglected. He had already received information from Cui Xiuning: the Yuan Dynasty wanted to withdraw the vassal state.
The so-called withdrawal of the vassal state means abolishing the status of the Goryeo vassal state, completely turning it into the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, and turning indirect rule into direct rule.
Once Goryeo is removed from its vassal state, its semi-independent status will no longer exist and the country will be truly destroyed.
During the Yuan Dynasty, the proposal to withdraw the vassal states by Goryeo was never cut off. On several occasions, the Yuan court almost passed the proposal to withdraw the vassal states.
However, Goryeo's monarch and ministers were really good at using softness to overcome hardness. They used soft and charming means to be extremely filial to the monarch and ministers of the Yuan Dynasty, and finally endured the proposal of withdrawing the vassal again and again.
Later, the so-called withdrawal of the vassal states completely became a means for the Yuan Dynasty ministers to blackmail Goryeo. As long as the withdrawal of the vassal states were mentioned, Goryeo would immediately send money to women, which was very successful.
Of course, Li Luo did not want Goryeo to be removed from the vassal state now. Once Goryeo was removed from the vassal state, he would become a person directly ruled by the Yuan Dynasty, which was very inconvenient to act.
To withdraw the vassal states, it is necessary to withdraw the vassal states when he does not need the status of a Korean. It will be a great disadvantage for him to withdraw the vassal states now.
So Li Luo took the initiative to go out and said, "Your Majesty, I heard from an old friend of the capital that the Yuan court might have a proposal to withdraw the vassal state and turn my Goryeo into a real province."
As soon as this statement was made, King Goryeo, Jin Fangqing, Li Xuan and others were all shocked.
The first time they heard that the Yuan court had the intention to withdraw the vassal state.
"Goro, this matter is not a joke, don't talk nonsense." Li Xuan couldn't help but remind his "nephew".
Li Luo said: "I just heard of it, but as for whether it is true or not, I don't know."
However, almost everyone believed it. This is the truth that the Yuan court neglected them.
They were all people with a keen sense of politics. When Li Luo reminded him, they immediately determined that the proposal to withdraw the vassal state must have been proposed by a minister, but the emperor had not made a decision yet, so he neglected the Goryeo Mission.
Since we know that someone proposed to withdraw the vassal state, then the Goryeo ruler and ministers would definitely not sit still and wait for death.
Soon, everyone discussed countermeasures.
In addition to the princess taking Kublai Khan's path through the princess, Li Zaan took the path of the powerful minister Ahma. In short, the proposal to withdraw the vassal state must be strangled.
"Li Siyi, your uncle is going to see Ahma tomorrow, so you can go with him." King Goryeo said.
Li Luo received the order: "Don't worry, the prince, the poor minister will fulfill his mission."
King Goryeo was very satisfied when he saw Li Luo being calm. Tonight, Li Luo reminded him with one word. Otherwise, if he knew about it a few days later, he would be very passive.
"Li Siyi, do it well, and when I return to Goryeo, I will give you my own rewards."
"Thank you, your husband!" Li Luo said perfunctorily.
Jin Guangxian here was so jealous that he felt sour in his stomach. He looked at Li Luo's pretending calm face, not to mention how greasy and annoying it was.
…………
After the Goryeo king and ministers had joined the meeting, Li Luo returned to the courtyard and it was already nine o'clock.
A person who had met once came to the yard: Zong Zhou.
Zong Zhou came here because he and Cui Xiuning meant it. He was not surprised. What surprised him was that Zong Zhou actually met Du Lie and Wu Tu.
"Are you... Wanyan Zongzhou?" Du Lie asked in surprise as soon as Zongzhou was brought in by Li Yong.
Zong Zhou looked at Du Lie and looked surprised, "Uncle Du Lie, Uncle Wutu! Are you back to Zhongdu?" He still called Da Du like Zhongdu.
Du Lie pulled Zong Zhou over and said, "Lord Lord, this is Zong Zhou. His father also followed the old Lang Zhu back then. After being injured, he returned to Zhongdu's hometown."
"Zong Zhou, this is the little man, come and see it."
Zong Zhou looked at Li Luo in shock, as if he couldn't believe that the Goryeo envoy who kindly gave him a silver bottle was actually the little man. But wasn't the little man dead?
Could it be... it was the adopted son of the old man? Yes, isn't the old man right in Goryeo?
Thinking of this, Zong Zhou, who reacted, immediately knelt down and bowed: "Zong Zhou, pay homage to the Lord! I never expected that the benefactor is the Lord!"
Benefactor? Now Du Lie and Wu Tu don’t understand. The Langzhu has just arrived in Dadu for two days, so why did he become the benefactor of Zongzhou?
Zong Zhou took the initiative to kill his father by a Mongolian knight. Li Luo sent Yin to him to handle the funeral. Only then did the two know what was going on.
"Hey, your father was also a hero back then, but he was injured and disabled, so he suffered this fate." Du Lie sighed very much.
Wutu said angrily: "These Mongolian Tartars are so hateful!"
Zong Zhou sighed and said, "The Lord, two uncles, now the Jurchens... are Han people, and their lives are really miserable. Not only are they taxed and labored, they are also bullied by Mongolian, Huihui and other monks."
Li Luo patted Zong Zhou on the shoulder and said, "Mongta is fierce and cruel, everyone knows it. Don't worry, I won't say anything else. Since you are under my command now, I will naturally take care of you."
Zong Zhou is about twenty-five or six years old, has a strong temperament and eight feet tall. If he didn't look a little malnourished, he would definitely be a tiger general. Such a person is very useful at critical moments to gather him.
Du Lie laughed and said, "Zong Zhou, you are in the process of time. Follow the boss, let alone the rest, these good foods are good things that can be done with enough food and fullness!"
Zong Zhou looked excited, "Zong Zhou must be the leader of the man, and his heart is shaking, and he will never refuse!"
Li Luo was very satisfied with Zong Zhou's performance and said, "Okay, you have seen the mistress, and she has something to say to you."
"Zong Zhou pays homage to Mrs.!" Zong Zhou bowed to Cui Xiuning again.
Cui Xiuning said: "Zong Zhou, you are the leader of the lane, how many people are there under your command now? Who are they?"
Zong Zhou replied: "The wife of Haoshu knows that there are more than 80 people now, all Han people, Jurchens, and Khitans. Among them, there are more than a dozen capable people. However, they are all scoundrels, who usually act ruthlessly and just make a living."
Choi Soo-ning said: "How many people are good at fighting? Are they reliable?"
Zong Zhou thought for a while, "They are all rascals, and they are not afraid of death. If you want to say that the fight is powerful and reliable, I can have nine more. w"
Cui Xiuning nodded and said to Li Yong: "You will make arrangements next."
"Yes!" Li Yong stepped forward and said, "Tonight, except for the leader and his wife, we will all go to Jiangnan overnight! Go and find a great lama named Yang Lianzhenjia. This man committed a death sentence. In less than a few days, an imperial edict will be taken back to Beijing."
"We have to rush to see him in advance and tell him that he had committed a crime. Then..."
With Li Yong's explanation, Du Lie, Wu Tu, Liu Tuo, and Han Shao were fine, but Zong Zhou couldn't help but get excited.
Unexpectedly, once you return to the commander of the Lang, you will have something to do! It’s so satisfying!
Finally, Li Luo took out some silver and handed it to Zong Zhou, asking him to hand it over to his gangsters who were good at fighting, which was a reward.
One hour later, before the curfew was ringing three times, nineteen horses rushed out of the capital and headed south at night.
They are the death-induced ghosts of Yang Lianzhenjia, the president of the Jiangnan Buddhist capital. Their mission is not only to demand Yang Lianzhenjia’s life, but also to demand his money.
Li Luo looked at the empty yard and smiled, "They are all gone, we don't even have a doorman now."
Cui Xiuning said: "Every planning step of Li Yong's trip to Jiangnan is fine. Yang Lianzhenjia will definitely go out to sea to escape. The only variable is that he brings a lot of guards on the boat. In that case, Li Yong and the others will not be able to start."
Li Luo was even more confident, "Yang Lianzhenjia usually has a lot of military force around him, but many of them are officers and soldiers. Once he knew that his affairs were exposed, he would never dare to lead the official army. I guess he would be able to have dozens of confidants."
Cui Xiuning was still worried, "Li Yong and the others only had nineteen people. Although they had strong individual skills, they might not be able to win safely. They were afraid that they would not be able to seize the ship at sea, so they got in instead."
