In order to prevent it from happening, Chang Yu decided to secretly kill the pro-Qing Zhaoxian Crown Prince Li Fu to prevent him from hindering the Ming Dynasty after he succeeded to the throne. Chang Yu did not allow this potential threat to exist.
But according to the normal trajectory, even if Chang Yu doesn't take action, Li Bo will be killed by his father when he returns to North Korea. Why bother with the calculation at this time?
Yes, that was according to the normal trajectory, but now with Chang Yu's strong air landing, history has been derailed many times. Who knows what will happen to this guy after he returns, so Chang Yu decided to intervene just in case.
At first, I was confused about where to send the action and who to send, but it suddenly occurred to me that Wu Mengming had a clear mind.
The reason is very simple. Wu Mengming is the commander of the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, and there are a large number of Jinyiwei agents in North Korea.
Yes, in this era, the Jin Yiwei can be regarded as the world's most powerful intelligence agency. Eyes are spread all over the Ming Dynasty, and there are countless agents lurking in the surrounding small countries. Let alone North Korea, a close vassal country, just one can't deal with assassins.
There are also a lot of people stationed in Touwa.
As early as the Wanli period, when Japanese dogs attacked Korea, the Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain state, sent troops. At that time, it had already sent agents to cross the sea and visit the Japanese country to collect intelligence. For example, there are historical records of Shen Bingyi and Shi Shiyong. Xu Yi was one of the best and had extraordinary achievements.
Taking advantage of the feud between the Satsuma clan daimyo and Japan's Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he successfully persuaded the Shimazu clan, the lord of the Satsuma clan, to order the evacuation of a legion of tens of thousands who participated in the Korean War, which was a great achievement.
During the war that year, the Ming Dynasty also took the opportunity to lurk many Jinyiwei agents in North Korea, and they continued to operate for decades. In addition, most of the officials in the North Korean palace were fans, so they could use the hidden agents to incite North Korea.
The king himself took action to get rid of Li Bo. (Li Bo may have been removed in this way in history.) Even if it failed, he could still let the agents over there take action, so that Ming Dynasty would be completely eliminated.
"Go to Wu Mengming and tell him about this matter." Chang Yu told Chunxiang and then hurriedly left the Yamen and went to the palace. He wanted to tell the matter to Emperor Chongzhen. After all, it was not a trivial matter to attack the prince of a vassal country.
What's more, Ming Dynasty still valued North Korea's little brother at this time.
Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen in the Qianqing Palace was very surprised when he heard that Chang Yu was going to attack Prince Zhaoxian Li Bo.
As expected, when he knew that Li Bo had invited the Qing faction, he nodded in agreement without hesitation: "Kill, kill them all!"
No, no, no, Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The second son of the Li family is a die-hard loyalist of the Ming Dynasty. It will be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty to keep him to succeed to the throne in the future."
"Is it reliable?" Once Emperor Chongzhen had murderous intentions, he always wanted to keep him safe.
Chang Yu repeatedly assured that the second son of the Li family was absolutely reliable, so Emperor Chongzhen gave up. Then he told Chang Yu a piece of ironic news. Gao Jie and the other three went to the palace gate in the evening to request a meeting, but Emperor Chongzhen refused because he was too busy with state affairs.
"How are you doing? You can't hang the three of them all the time, right?" Emperor Chongzhen asked casually, but it illuminated the world for Chang Yu: "What's wrong with hanging them like this? As long as they don't prove their innocence for one day, they will
He keeps worrying about gains and losses with his tail between his legs."
Emperor Chongzhen touched his palm and said, "This is a great idea. It can also be used very conveniently when going south to suppress bandits."
The monarch and his ministers chatted some more. When Chang Yu left the palace, he originally wanted to go to the Qianmen Great World. There were celebration banquets everywhere tonight, and his generals were no exception to celebrate in the Great World. As the top boss, they had to attend.
"Your Excellency, the three generals, Gao Jie, are at the Yamen asking for an audience." As soon as they left Dong'anmen, a reporter came to report. Chang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Just tell me that I will stay in the palace tonight and find an inn for the three of them."
Let’s arrange your stay tomorrow.” After saying that, he got in the car and motioned to go to the outer city world.
Emperor Chongzhen held a military parade for the first time in the sixteen years since he came to the throne. He rewarded the whole army for participating in the war and was not stingy at all for the meritorious generals. He gave away a lot of titles, official positions, money, and houses.
When the generals are so famous, they naturally have to hold banquets to congratulate them. For example, Li Yan, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, Tang Tongma Ke and others held banquets with their generals and friends in the capital. For example, Wu Sangui held a family banquet to congratulate the whole family.
For example, in other guards, some officers and generals in the Beijing camp who had to be promoted and rewarded went to entertain their friends and indulge in drunkenness.
Only the three famous warlords Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo were sitting uneasily in an inn, drinking with depression on their faces.
In the Great World Entertainment City, business is as busy as ever, and it’s even worse today.
Just because too many people came here to hold a banquet to celebrate the victory, among them were the chief and deputy commanders of the Fourth Battalion of Dongchang and nearly fifty people of Chang Yu's personal attendants. They were the largest, richest and most powerful group.
On the third floor, in the large private room reserved by Dongchang, everyone was drinking and laughing. After Chang Yu appeared, the atmosphere was even higher. Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate him. Chang Yu, who usually drank less, also raised his glass for three consecutive times.
cup.
"The day before yesterday, the thieves were driven out by the Tatars, and it was only through the efforts of all the brothers that we succeeded. If you have merit, you should be rewarded. The rewards from the court belong to the court, and our yamen also deserves rewards." Chang Yu has never been stingy with his subordinates, and now he is even more excited.
He was generous and raised his hand and waved: "Everyone here will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and everyone will have a share!"
Everyone was overjoyed and thanked them one after another. Chang Yu poured another glass of wine himself and walked up to Song Luoyu: "I would like to offer this glass to you alone, not because you are the only woman in the East Factory, but because I thank you for saving your life!" After saying this, he expressed his gratitude to you!
Drink it all in one gulp.
Song Luoyu was very excited: "It's just a matter of humble duty. How can I risk my life when I meet the factory princess Mingzhu?" He was about to do it, but was grabbed by Wu Zhong next to him: "Are you injured?"
Hey, let me take your place..."
"Go away!" Before Wu Zhong could finish his words, he was pulled aside by Chang Yu and Song Luoyu, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
"Come on, Jiang Bashi..." After drinking with Song Luoyu, Chang Yu came up to Jiang Fa with a wine glass. Kuang Ren, Ji Jike and others all agreed and drank the wine with their personal attendants and several commanders of the four battalions under his command.
After doing it once, I felt like I was in high spirits.
Sure enough, he was too drunk. Chang Yu rubbed his head and asked for a bowl of cold water. After drinking it, he still felt top-heavy. He walked to the window to blow in the wind. Li Muchian came over with a wine glass: "Can you drink it, Mr. Factory?"
Chang Yu was about to tease him, but he suddenly thought of something when he saw his expression downcast. All the generals were rewarded, but Li Muxian got nothing. This was mainly related to his identity.
Military merit.
"I won't treat you badly. Tell me, whatever you want from me, I'll give it to you!" Chang Yu still thinks highly of Li Muxian. Although he talks about it every day, he still has an excellent brain.
Staff advisor.
Li Muxian raised his glass and drank it, and sighed: "This poor Taoist only cares about the glory of this court, and does not care about high-ranking officials and generous salaries."
Chang Yu also imitated him and sighed: "If I didn't know you well, I would believe it." He curled his lips and said: "You like gold, silver and jewelry, but you want to pretend to be fresh and refined in front of the governor, disgusting!"
Cough, cough, cough, Li Muxian looked a little embarrassed. He turned around and looked at the people in the private room who were rowing and drinking, and then whispered to Chang Yu: "Sir, can you step aside? I have a gift for you."
Chang Yu waved his hand and said, "You will not be rewarded for your merits. I haven't rewarded you yet, so how can I ask for your things? If you need my help with anything, just ask."
Li Muxian was a little anxious: "Sir, you know what Pindao is thinking, so why do you need Pindao to say it out? Although it is impossible to take charge of the world's Taoism at this time, we should reach Tianting first. Sir, if you can help
Pindao, Pindao is willing to give away the treasures he has collected for nearly a hundred years."
Chang Yu was startled: "Our family doesn't envy your century-old treasure at all, but the emperor already knows your name and will use you when it is useful."
This time it was Li Muchian's turn to be surprised: "The emperor knows about Pindao? How did he know..." His tone became more and more excited.
"I'm the attendant of Wuzhong today, that's what he said." Chang Yu shrugged, and Li Muchian rolled his eyes: "There's no way a single ivory can come out of that guy's mouth." Then he cupped his hands to Chang Yu: "Your Excellency, you don't want to look at this poor man.
treasure?"
To be honest, Chang Yu didn't want to see any of Li Muxian's treasures, nor did he believe that he could have any treasures. He just looked at his expression and the fact that the private room was a little hot. He was drunk and wanted to go out for some air, so he pretended to be very reluctant.
: "Come on, let's find a secret place to secretly carry your treasure."
