"Master, please take care of yourself during this trip to the north. It's just that I'm a little confused as to why Master will leave early tomorrow morning instead of waiting a few more days..."

In the study, Zhu Ying looked at Yao Guangxiao sitting opposite and asked.

Just when the memorial was being reviewed, Yao Guangxiao suddenly came over to pay a visit and proposed to leave for Goryeo early tomorrow morning.

In the original plan, Yao Guangxiao was to join the Korean envoy in a few days, but now Yao Guangxiao suddenly proposed to take the first step.

Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and said, "Your Highness, the poor monk is old and walks a little slowly on the road. It will be the same if we leave a few days in advance and meet up with the envoy."

"This humble monk's trip to Goryeo will probably take a long time, so he has summoned all the junior fellow apprentices to accompany him so that we can make some arrangements."

When Zhu Ying heard this, he paused slightly.

Good guy, I just want you to leave the capital to avoid causing trouble again, but you gather a group of people and want to go to Goryeo to cause trouble?

With just a few words, Zhu Ying noticed the fiery emotions in Yao Guangxiao's heart.

It is not difficult to guess that it was probably the lurking list I gave him in Goryeo that boosted his fighting spirit.

His speaking voice became sonorous and powerful.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Ying said: "Goryeo is also being invaded by Japanese pirates. Master, you can pay more attention to it this time. It is best to find out the current situation of the Japanese country."

"It is also good for the master to understand that if everything goes well, in the spring of next year, the Ming Dynasty may organize a large army to rescue the Japanese people living in dire straits. After all, the Japanese country has belonged to our country since ancient times."

"Now that Japan is at war, there is no reason to sit idly by. Goryeo is relatively close to Japan, so the master can make his own decisions on some matters."

At present, Zhu Ying will not make any serious war against Goryeo. Li Chenggui can only let him do his best first.

As for Li Chenggui, Zhu Ying will not let him step down in recent years.

In fact, if Zhu Ying wanted to send an order, the entire Goryeo could change hands and belong to the Ming Dynasty day and night, but this was not the result Zhu Ying wanted.

It is true that the current Goryeo is like a plaything in the palm of Zhu Ying, but you, Zhu Ying, who is well versed in people's hearts, know even more clearly that if you directly kill Li Chenggui, Goryeo will be easier to escape from control.

The whole situation will become difficult to control.

The fundamental reason is that among the hidden forces currently arranged by Zhu Ying in Goryeo, there is no one who can truly stand alone.

If Li Chenggui is gone, only Zhu Ying can personally take command of Goryeo in order to overwhelm many of his subordinates.

But this is obviously impossible. Zhu Ying had never thought about the founding of Goryeo before, and it is even more impossible now.

The human heart is the most difficult to control. To be honest, there are currently three major groups of forces in Goryeo.

They are lurking in three aspects: the palace of Goryeo, the civil servants, and the generals.

That's what the so-called balance is.

Now everyone's goal is still very consistent, to lurk in Goryeo, show interests for the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, and achieve the ultimate goal of controlling Goryeo.

But in fact, Zhu Ying understands better that if the dormant time is too long, more changes will occur.

This is destined to be an impossible goal.

Zhu Ying's idea at the beginning was to continuously absorb resources from Goryeo to replenish himself.

Once the change of dynasty is completed, under such circumstances, it is inevitable that a few heroes will appear and secretly control their own power in Goryeo.

That's really a waste of effort.

Maintaining the current situation in Goryeo is most beneficial to Zhu Ying. According to Zhu Ying's prediction, at least in the next three years, Goryeo's latent forces can still be controlled.

If it's too long, I don't know.

Three years is enough time for Zhu Ying to completely merge into the Ming Dynasty.

In Zhu Ying's mind, if he wanted to control Goryeo quickly and easily and attack Japan after the spring of next year, Goryeo must participate.

Li Chenggui definitely didn't want to fight against the Japanese, but I'm afraid he couldn't help it.

When Goryeo cooperated with the Ming Dynasty in launching a large army to attack Japan, it would definitely cause a burden on the people in Goryeo and even trigger internal social conflicts.

These are all Zhu Ying's guesses. Although it is a bit cruel, it must be done to consume Goryeo's vitality.

Only in this way, when the Ming Dynasty annexes Goryeo and appears as a savior, can it be the easiest way to occupy Goryeo.

Letting Yao Guangxiao go there this time is also for the better implementation of the plan.

When Yao Guangxiao heard this, he immediately understood Zhu Ying's thoughts. When dealing with smart people, sometimes he would understand everything after just a few words.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness Changsun. When we go to Goryeo, this poor monk will definitely not disappoint His Highness."

Yao Guangxiao said solemnly.

He knew very well that this trip to Goryeo was a test for himself by His Highness Changsun.

It can be seen from the positions occupied on many lists that the current Goryeo is completely within the pocket of His Highness Changsun.

After all this, if I still can't achieve His Highness Changsun's goals and ideas, then I won't have the shame to participate in some big operations in the future.

At this time, Yao Guangxiao suddenly felt very grateful for his choice.

From the layout and planning, he could easily guess that His Highness Changsun's ambition was not just to defend the territory of the Ming Dynasty, as His Majesty thought now.

That is the lofty ambition of a tiger devouring the world and enclosing a wolf as a slave.

Yao Guangxiao's ambition was not to govern the place, but to make a strong mark in the history of the country.

Thinking of achieving this goal, what could be faster than opening up borders and expanding territory.

What he has always regretted the most is how he could not have been born a few decades earlier to show his talents and ambitions during the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

But now it seems that the competition between countries also makes Yao Guangxiao feel very good.

This stage is enough for him to perform.

"Okay, let me leave everything to you about Korea." Zhu Ying said with a smile.

When Yao Guangxiao heard this, his calm face was a little excited.

Until this moment, Yao Guangxiao had a dream-like feeling.

Yao Guangxiao felt a little ashamed of the trust he placed in entrusting such an important matter to him after only a few days of seeking refuge with His Highness Changsun.

In the past, he had always wanted to take advantage of Zhu Ying, but now he also wanted to confine himself because of Zhu Ying's power.

I am also getting older, and if I really have to stay in confinement for ten or eight years, then everything will be in vain.

According to the current situation, it is really possible in ten or eight years. By then, I will be buried, and no matter how much ambition I have, it will be empty talk.

Behaviors like Yao Guangxiao's are actually very shameful in terms of the current Ming Dynasty.

To put it exaggeratedly, it is no different from betraying one's master and surrendering to the enemy, or clinging to power.

Even Yao Guangxiao was prepared to be despised by Zhu Ying in recent years.

What he didn't expect was that His Highness Changsun would directly hand over Gaoli to him to take care of.

The power Zhu Ying granted to Yao Guangxiao allowed him to almost completely represent himself within the internal hierarchy of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

In other words, from the moment Yao Guangxiao crossed the Yalu River and set foot on the territory of Goryeo, he was the most powerful among Zhu Ying's forces under Goryeo.

In a sense, there is almost no big difference between Yao Guangxiao walking in Goryeo and the King of Goryeo.

This is what made Yao Guangxiao burst into tears and was truly moved.

There is nothing better than this for a scholar to die for his confidant.

For Zhu Ying, he actually didn't think too much because he was too familiar with Yao Guangxiao's ideas.

From another perspective, it is impossible for Yao Guangxiao, who is so old, to control Goryeo and establish himself as king.

Even if Yao Guangxiao caused trouble in Goryeo, it would not matter much.

Moreover, Zhu Ying is very familiar with Yao Guangxiao's thoughts. You must know that Yao Guangxiao in the original history did not want money or power after becoming the prime minister in black.

Such people have a strong Taoist heart, and no external things can affect them except to achieve their own goals.

If he really was greedy for power, then Yao Guangxiao would no longer be Yao Guangxiao.

"By the way, Your Highness, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong came to the house today and wanted to visit His Highness." Yao Guangxiao suddenly remembered this and said.

Of course, Yao Guangxiao was very familiar with Li Jinglong as Zhu Di's military advisor before.

"Oh, why did he come to see me?" Zhu Ying asked with interest.

Li Jinglong, this is the most famous war god of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, and he can be called a legend.

However, after experiencing the old man, Zhu Ying felt that this person was not that simple.

The old man is very shrewd. If Li Jinglong doesn't have some real materials, how can he get the old man's praise?

Yao Guangxiao could be considered a complete betrayal. After hearing Zhu Ying's inquiry, he completely betrayed Li Jinglong without hesitation.

He began to report to Zhu Ying that when Li Jinglong was in Xifan, he helped Yan King Zhu Di acquire many war horses through the tea and horse trade.

He even helped Zhu Di by starting a tea smuggling operation and secretly raising money.

"It seems that the relationship between the fourth uncle and the cousin is quite good. They can help each other in such things." Zhu Ying said with a smile.

Yao Guang Xiaoyi said that he finally understood how close the relationship between Li Jinglong and Zhu Di was.

This was also because the Jin Yiwei did not investigate the emperor's relatives, or he knew in his heart that even if the old man knew about it, he would not punish the two people too much.
