Sure enough, as the old eunuch finished speaking, the noble generals suddenly became angry.
"It's too much to bully someone. Your Majesty, I really can't bear this bird's spirit. I'm willing to lead the troops to go out to attack the king of Goryeo and stop him from worshiping in the temple."
"The general will wait for the order"
When Lao Zhu saw the generals asking for military tassels one after another, his face showed a slight smile and he waved his hand to stop the noisy crowd.
On the other side, the civil servants were also whispering to each other. Although they were not ready to kill people with knives like the military generals. After all, they were scholars who respected etiquette, but they were also extremely dissatisfied with Goryeo. A small country dared to ignore the Ming Dynasty like this. Then
Doesn’t it mean that you don’t take them, the Gonggun Dukes, seriously?
Although Lao Zhu was angry, his anger was not as strong as when he was young. He did not directly agree with the general to send troops to attack Goryeo. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "Send the envoy from Goryeo to the palace."
Under the angry gazes of the civil servants and generals on the left and right, the Korean envoy walked cautiously step by step to the front of the emperor and bowed down: "Foreign Minister Pu Yizhong, pay homage to His Majesty the Ming Emperor."
Park Yizhong knew much more about Ming Dynasty than his king. He couldn't understand that the king had just succeeded to the throne. Instead of thinking about how to reconcile with Ming Dynasty, he was thinking about how to offend Ming Dynasty.
Now let him bear the wrath of the Ming Dynasty. If he does not do well, he may be beheaded by the emperor.
Park Yizhong was naturally frightened and did not dare to be sloppy in his etiquette.
Lao Zhu had a sullen face, and after looking at Pu Yizhong for a moment, he said unceremoniously: "Looking at how respectful Goryeo was to Ming Dynasty in the past, I won't punish you. Go back and tell the King of Goryeo to immediately cut off contact with Beiyuan.
I will never be lenient if I have an affair with Beiyuan again. In addition, Tieling is the place of the Ming Dynasty. It is a matter of course that the Ming Dynasty wants to set up a garrison. There is no reason for Gao Li to comment on it."
"Yes, the foreign minister will bring His Majesty the Emperor's decree back." Pu Yizhong felt much more relaxed when he heard the emperor's words. Since he was asked to bring the message back, it meant that he would be kept alive.
Now Park Yizhong just wants to return to Goryeo as soon as possible and tell him the Ming Emperor's will. As for what the king will think and how he will decide, that is not his business. He just wants to survive.
"You have three days to leave Ming Dynasty and go back. Please step back."
There was no room for relaxation at all, and Park Yizhong was directly driven away from Ming Dynasty.
Not only that, after retiring from the imperial court, Lao Zhu also ordered to send envoys to Goryeo to clarify Ming Dynasty's attitude.
I am afraid that even Lao Zhu did not expect that King Xinyu of Goryeo would be so bold as to kill twenty-one of the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty and detain Li Sijing and five others.
When Lao Zhu got the news, he went crazy and immediately summoned Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Xin Guogong Tang, Han Du and others into the palace.
"Your Majesty, Goryeo is so arrogant and provokes the Ming Dynasty. If we are not severely punished, how can the Ming Dynasty make all parties surrender?" When they met, Feng Sheng spoke with murderous intent.
Lao Zhu was also full of hatred for Goryeo. He thought that he was very kind to Goryeo at the beginning, and his tribute to Goryeo was reduced again and again. Instead, he kept increasing the gifts in return and giving generous gifts to Goryeo. Unexpectedly, he would get this result.
A strong feeling of betrayal lingered in Lao Zhu's heart, making him feel even more uncomfortable. He couldn't bear to spit out this bad breath.
"Yes, sir, if Korea is not severely punished, it may cause other countries to follow suit.
It is extremely detrimental to Ming Dynasty."
The two princes unanimously stated their attitude, that is, they must send troops to severely punish Goryeo, otherwise they will not be able to convince the public. As for the attitude of Han Du and others, you can tell by looking at their expressions, so you don't need to ask.
Everyone agreed to send troops to teach Korea a lesson, and they all looked at Lao Zhu eagerly, waiting for his will.
But at this time, Lao Zhu hesitated.
"Your Majesty, Lan Yu is currently stationed in Jinshan, which is closest to Goryeo. Why don't you let Lan Yu send a partial force to teach Goryeo a lesson and give it a beating." Li Shanchang did not want the distinguished general to make new achievements, but this matter about Goryeo was indeed
He threw Ming Dynasty’s face to the ground and jumped up to step on it. If that was all, where was Ming Ming’s face?
Since Goryeo must be punished, Li Shanchang thought that just like Xini, he could fool him.
After Li Shanchang finished speaking, Feng Sheng and Tang He were naturally dissatisfied and both looked at him.
Li Shanchang saw the meaning in the eyes of the two people, but he didn't care. The Zhedong Group he currently represents is for the interests of civil servants, so naturally he doesn't want to see the Huaixi Honorables continue to make contributions and grow stronger.
Lao Zhu didn't seem to see the overt and covert struggle between the two sides. Maybe he knew about it a long time ago and was just pretending not to know.
After pondering for a moment, he explained: "Now, I won't hide anything from you either."
Looking up at a few people, Lao Zhu said slowly: "I placed the blue jade in Jinshan because I want to find an opportunity to attack the puppet emperor of Beiyuan in the coming year. If we want to divide our troops to attack Goryeo, then"
Fighting on two fronts is a taboo for military strategists.
Lao Zhu was well versed in the art of war and would not have failed to understand this truth. Therefore, from his own heart, Lao Zhu was unwilling to divide his forces to deal with Goryeo.
Compared with Goryeo, the Emperor of Beiyuan was the real thorn in the side of the Ming Dynasty.
But it happened that Goryeo killed the envoy of the Ming Dynasty at this time. The two countries were fighting and did not kill the envoy. What's more, Goryeo was still a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
If we remain indifferent to this, then Ming Dynasty will really lose its reputation.
It was not enough if the Ming Dynasty did not take action, but the elites of the Ming Dynasty were waiting for an opportunity to conquer the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Once they divided their forces to attack Goryeo, the entire plan to conquer the Northern Yuan Dynasty would inevitably be greatly affected, or even aborted.
This was what made Lao Zhu extremely angry with Goryeo. The timing was so well calculated that Lao Zhu once wondered if there was an expert giving advice to King Xinyu.
After listening to Lao Zhu's explanation, Han Du suddenly realized. When he was in Liaodong, he was a little strange as to why Lan Yu was asked to lead his army to Jinshan. Now it seems that Lao Zhu had already planned to conquer Naha when he was preparing to take it out.
It’s Beiyuan.
On the one hand, it is to solve the problem of Beiyuan, the confidant, and on the other hand, it is to beat Goryeo and win back the face. Although the problem of the confidant is more important, the problem of face is not small.
For a moment, everyone didn't know what to say. They just lowered their heads and pondered over and over again, unable to make up their minds for a long time.
Lao Zhu looked around one after another, and finally his eyes fell on Han Du.
Han Du shrank his neck, not wanting to take Lao Zhu's move.
Yes, if Han Du guessed correctly, Lao Zhu had already thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.
That is to use the navy to go north to take care of Goryeo. Moreover, Hanyang, the capital of Goryeo, is not far from the coastline. It would be very convenient to attack through the navy. Sure enough, as the old eunuch finished speaking, the noble generals suddenly became angry.
