The two archery targets have been shot into hedgehogs. Amidst the clicking sound, arrows continued to hit the targets.
This is Zhu and Li Chenggui competing in archery.
The rules are very simple. Two people stand a hundred and fifty steps away and shoot a hundred arrows each. The one who hits the most targets wins.
The two men each shot eight pots, and finally the winner was determined. Li Chenggui started to miss after fifty consecutive shots, sometimes hitting and sometimes missing. But Zhu always hit the target with every shot.
After shooting the last arrow and missing the target, Li Chenggui put down his bow, moved his sore arm and said, "The general will lose."
"You are very good." Zhu Wenwen shot the last arrow and said calmly: "I win because I can shoot left and right."
Under the umbrella at the back, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was watching the battle. He woke up after hearing the sound and applauded: "Well done, good shot."
"It's not as good as your snoring." The third brother rolled his eyes at him, put down his bow and arrow, walked under the umbrella, and sat down on the recliner.
Then a fair-skinned and beautiful Goryeo palace maid presented her with fragrant tea and fruits.
The third brother smiled evilly and said, "You feed me the king."
The palace maid then brought the cut fruits and tea cups to His Highness the King of Jin for him to enjoy.
Lao Liu deeply doubted whether the third brother could not lift his arm. But in front of outsiders, he had to save some face for the third brother.
It was not broken.
"Chenggui, why don't you have a cup of tea?" Zhu Zhen called to Li Chenggui who was standing aside.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Chenggui took it hurriedly and fearfully. His hands were shaking so much that he spilled the tea. He didn't know whether it was fear or hand cramps.
"I dare to come here for archery today. It seems that I have thought clearly about how to go in the future?" Zhu Zhen asked slowly.
"Yes, I have already thought it through." Li Chenggui quickly drank up the tea, knelt down with the tea cup in hand and said loudly:
"The minister has already thought clearly, 'The Spring and Autumn Annals will punish small things that are not important.' Therefore, the minister must follow the Spring and Autumn Annals to be the most loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and make Goryeo the most loyal vassal of the Ming Dynasty!"
"
"Hahaha, let me tell you." Zhu Zhen heard this and smiled at Zhu Zhen: "Chenggui is great and has a high level of understanding."
"It's true." Zhu Ye smiled and said to Li Chenggui: "'Small things don't matter, they are punished by the Spring and Autumn Annals.' That's a good saying. But it's not enough. You have to remember another sentence - a woman can't do anything.
Marry two husbands, and be loyal to both masters!"
"Yes, please remember that I am a member of the Ming Dynasty in life and a ghost of Ming Dynasty in death. As long as I am alive, the same will be true for Korea!" Li Chenggui nodded heavily.
"Remember these two points, Ming Dynasty is your most powerful supporter." Zhu Zhen raised his hand and said: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Chenggui thanked En and stood up.
"Sit down." Zhu Zhen pointed to the little Maza in front of him.
However, Li Chenggui was flattered and thanked him again and again. Although he only rested his horse and pulled up his buttocks, his waist was straight and straight.
"The Cui Ying issue you were worried about before is no longer a problem." Zhu Zhen gave him another sweet date and said, "He will lead the Baishou Army to serve in the Ming Dynasty soon."
"Ah, really?" Li Chenggui was overjoyed when he heard this. He thought that their highnesses would leave Cui Ying to check and balance him. He didn't expect that Cui Ying and his Bai Shou Army would all leave Goryeo!
"Is there no one in Korea who can compete with you now?" Zhu Zhen asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes." Li Chenggui nodded hurriedly. "I will not disappoint your highnesses."
"Do you know what to do so as not to disappoint us?" Zhu Youyou asked.
"Minister," Li Chenggui knew that the time had come for his highnesses to make demands. How can there be a free lunch in the world? His highnesses helped him obtain Korea, and he would naturally have to repay him. He gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to exhaust Korea."
Do your best to please His Highness!"
"That's not necessary. If Goryeo becomes impoverished because of its filial piety to the Celestial Empire, our Ming Dynasty will also be in disgrace." Zhu Zhen and Zhu exchanged glances, and the former said: "We brothers have discussed it and don't make any special requests.
Okay... everything just follows the old rules of the Yuan Dynasty."
"This..." Li Chenggui's head buzzed. The old practice of the Yuan Dynasty? The Yuan Dynasty's control over Goryeo was so strong that it was unprecedented, not to mention unprecedented.
In addition to what was mentioned before, the Zhengdong Province was established in Goryeo, and it was stipulated that the King of Goryeo should marry a Mongolian princess as his queen, and that the crown prince of Goryeo should grow up in Dadu, Yuan Dynasty.
The Yuan Dynasty still stationed 2,000 Mongolian soldiers outside the King's City of Koryo, and 5,000 Mongolian soldiers were stationed in Jinzhou, Koryo... What, you mean the Mongols on Tamna Island? That was the private territory of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and it had something to do with the Koryo people.
what relationship?
In addition, the Yuan Dynasty also set up "Daluhuachi" in Korea. "Daluhuachi" in Mongolian means the one who holds the seal, which can be understood as the supervisor sent by the Yuan Dynasty to Korea. After Yuan Taizong Wokuotai conquered Korea, he
Seventy-two Daruchi were left in each capital, prefecture, and county to closely supervise the political power at all levels of Goryeo, including the King of Goryeo.
The Yuan Dynasty generally appointed the King of Koryo as the left prime minister to conquer the eastern provinces, and the right prime minister was Daru Huachi sent by the Yuan court. Without Daru Huachi's seal, not even the King of Koryo could issue any decree.
The Yuan Dynasty also required Goryeo to build and maintain post stations and roads at its own expense in order to strengthen control; regularly ask for huge tributes; provide virgins and widows; and provide military supplies for the army during wars... It was simply treating Goryeo as a slave, strictly confining it, and demanding it at will.
How many years did Goryeo manage to get rid of the Yuan Dynasty just now by taking advantage of the Yuan-Ming Dynasty revolution? Will the Ming Dynasty come next? Is Goryeo just being suppressed and repeatedly losing its life?
And the most terrible thing is that the territory of the Yuan Dynasty that Goryeo secretly occupied while the world was in chaos will naturally belong to the Ming Dynasty. That is not just Tamluo, but also the five towns in the eight states of Liaodong, including his Shuangcheng Palace.
Earth!
If I agree, I'm afraid I will become a 'Koryeo traitor' that everyone despises, right?
~~
Seeing Li Chenggui pursed his lips and said nothing, Zhu Zhen sighed and said: "It seems that you only said it clearly, but you still didn't think clearly in your heart."
"You keep claiming to be Ming's most loyal minister, but it turns out it's all nonsense!" Zhu Ye sneered, grabbed the teacup on the table, and threw it in Li Chenggui's face.
Li Chenggui did not dare to dodge. His newly healed forehead was broken again and blood flowed all over his face.
"No, no, I am naturally loyal." Li Chenggui did not dare to wipe it off, and quickly leaned over to explain: "It is true that the Yuan Dynasty was too cruel to Goryeo. If I follow the old practices of the Yuan Dynasty, I will definitely be cast aside by the whole country and die without mercy.
Burial place!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed and cried, "Your Highnesses, please show mercy."
"You fart." Zhu Zhen scolded angrily: "If it is true as you said, why are there so many people in Goryeo who miss the Yuan Dynasty? Then how could Li Renren seek refuge with the Yuan Dynasty even if he murders us?"
"That's right, I think he just thinks we are too talkative!" Lao San also said with a sullen face: "Why should we support such a despicable person who is ungrateful at all? I think we should let Cui Ying go, and we can take her with her quickly.
Let the war horse return home."
"Well, okay." Zhu Zhen nodded, waved his hand and said to Li Chenggui: "Go away."
"Your Highness..." Li Chenggui heard this and cried out sadly: "No!"
