"Your Highness wants to test it out. It doesn't mean anything at all, but I'm afraid the current situation is not suitable. After all, Mr. Li is right over there. If you push him too hard, he will easily push everyone over there."
The young man who had been following Zhu Di silently suddenly spoke. He spoke in Mandarin, but he was still very unskilled. He was obviously a local Korean and not someone who came here with Zhu Di.
"It doesn't matter if you push it over there. You don't need too much, just cut out one or two."
Because of the attitude of Jiang Yu, Side and others, Zhu Di gradually understood that his eldest brother did not want Goryeo to completely become his vassal state at this time, so he allowed Li Chenggui to become bigger.
There may be a deeper reason for this, but he still just wants to believe that the eldest brother just doesn't trust his ability, so he will make other arrangements. As long as he shows enough ability, the eldest brother will not stop him anymore.
So he did not rely on his status to oppress Li Chenggui, but fought with him and the Goryeo family within the rules. He was a little reluctant at first, but now, he really understands that he can reach this position.
All the people are not easy to get along with.
After suffering several overt and covert losses, I became even more vigilant. What followed was the joy of fighting with others. It was really endless fun, and it was much happier than the wealthy life in Beijing.
Now he is not afraid that Li Chenggui and others are too strong, but he is afraid that they are too weak and cannot show their abilities.

"His Royal Highness Prince Qi is becoming more and more difficult to deal with now."
"Hmph! How can we deal with it? Ten thousand elite cavalrymen came from the north and defected. It's enough for me to live just waiting for gold to fall from the sky."
Li Chenggui listened to the arguments of the people below with a straight face, and did not say anything to appease him, because he didn't need it. He couldn't get a bite of the meat from Naha, so it was not surprising to him.
As for the King of Qi, his current scale is considered small. If the majestic Prince and Prince of the Ming Dynasty really reveals his identity to the public, those who have taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty and the Liaodong garrison troops will all be under his control.
At that time, just ten thousand knights were nothing, but now it is pretty good. At least he still has a chance. As long as he seizes it firmly and relies on his identity and military power, he can at least earn a family heirloom.
The voices below are getting louder and louder, and some of the people standing at the front are no longer the same group as a few months ago. Most of these new people are direct descendants of various families directly sent by the imperial court. He is not easy to offend, so he just
Can give courtesy.
This also made his subordinates a little dissatisfied, but they had no choice but to win over party members. How could they accumulate strength in the turmoil? The news from Kaijing gradually spread, and the fall of Goryeo was not far away.
The war here is over, and we will soon lead the army to put down the rebellion. But as the so-called thieves pass by like a grate, how can this rebellion be stopped? Unless the wealthy families let go of their granaries and allocate fields to the people, otherwise
Relying solely on military suppression is tantamount to drinking doves to quench thirst.
At this moment, several people suddenly ran out. They saluted the handsome Li Chenggui and then walked quickly behind their generals and whispered a few words. The generals immediately slapped the table and stood up.
"You actually grabbed my head, what do you mean?"
"Commander, please make your decision. That person's army led his troops to break into the houses of wealthy households in the county and plunder livestock and food. This is no different from banditry."
"It's just cattle and sheep. As long as His Highness wants to speak, will we still be stingy with this? This clearly means that he doesn't take us seriously."
The first middle-aged man stood up and raised his hands to the east and said: "Commander, he is of course very noble, but is it possible that he can be more respected than our lord?"
Dong is the lord of the four directions, so there is no need to say more about who he represents. Since he mentioned this person, Li Chenggui could not stay out of the matter. He said with a troubled face: "Except for the emperor, there is no one in heaven and earth who can compare to the east palace."
, It’s just that we don’t alienate relatives from time to time, and we are humble and do not seek respect. How can we disturb His Highness with such trivial matters.”
"The commander-in-chief is overly worried. There is no need to disturb His Highness. It is expected that His Highness will not go to the East Palace to complain about such a trivial matter. This time, the livestock and food are just fine. I just hope that the commander-in-chief will come forward and give you a few words of warning.
"
"Yes, let's discuss everything we have to do. There is no excuse for sending troops to rob one's own people."
Li Chenggui nodded from time to time but did not show any attitude. He allowed them to persuade him in roundabout ways but remained unmoved.
The representatives of the major families had no choice. After all, this was an army commanded by Li Chenggui. It would be easy for them to come in and carve up some fruits of victory, but they still had a long way to go to seize actual control. Naturally, it was impossible to fall out with him.
What's more, this small amount of livestock and food is not worth it. No matter it is the same as His Highness King Qi or Li Chenggui, they still have this kind of courage. After all, if there is a shortage, they can just grab it from the people below. Anyway, it is
Trading without capital.
He just wanted to use this to make Li Chenggui completely fall out with King Qi. Then he would have to rely more on the family behind them. In this way, someone would take the risks and take away the benefits without any loss.
With Li Chenggui's attitude now, it was impossible for them to go to King Qi to ask for livestock and grain by themselves. Not only could they not ask for it, they had to take the initiative to send some more. It was already their instinct to bet on both ends.
After the commotion for a long time, it finally subsided. Li Chenggui covered his eyes with his hands and sighed deeply. Finally, it stopped. He moved his hands away to reveal his eyes filled with murderous intent.
These people are really greedy. They came out of nowhere to steal a lot of benefits inexplicably. They still feel that they are not enough and want to intensify conflicts and fish in troubled waters.
Sooner or later this account will have to be settled!
It's not far off. He raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. The prince has been planning for a long time. Could it be that he is just trying to seize a country that still depends on your control? A bitter and barren land that has been completely drained of everything by you?
During these days, he had dispersed all his subordinates, not to serve as guards in various places, but to serve as rebel leaders in various Goryeo prefectures, and those they wanted to eat were the wealthy families.
When they grow to a certain extent and each family cannot resist with its own private army, in order to protect the family, they will definitely invest their resources into the already formed army. And if this family-protecting dog, which they have high hopes for, will arrive.
How about watching from the sidelines?
The upper class of Goryeo will be emptied, and the order at that time will be re-established by him. With countless ownerless fields, coupled with the population that has plummeted due to famine in troubled times, this is the best and cleanest country, and it is also the perfect country that he will dedicate to the prince.
Gift.
……………
After finally coaxing Li Yan away, Zhu Biao immediately summoned Yang Siyi, who was participating in the political affairs of Shaanxi Province, who had rushed back. After returning to Beijing to hand over, he immediately went to Yunnan to assist Zuo Muying.
Yang Siyi was an old minister from Conglong, and he was now over fifty years old. When he entered the hall, Zhu Biao stood up and took a few steps to greet him. He personally supported the old man with gray hair and rough skin.
After looking carefully for a few times, Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The last time he saw Yang Siyi, he remembered his style, but in just a year or two, he almost didn't recognize him.
"The humble minister Yang Siyi pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness may live in peace for the rest of his life."
"Lao Aiqing is here on the run. Liu Jin will give me a seat and serve tea."
"promise."
"Hey, why bother Your Highness? I'll do it myself."
After helping him sit down, Zhu Biao sighed: "It doesn't matter. Speaking of which, I haven't seen my beloved for a year or two. I never thought that you would end up here due to hard work. I really feel..."
The old minister, who was halfway down the buttocks and straight back, raised his smile and said calmly: "Serving the country, caring for the people for the king, there is no need to work hard, it is just a matter of course and justice. In the past few years, Weichen has been away from His Highness when he came to Beijing to report on his duties.
I haven’t seen His Highness for a long time, so His Highness was surprised.”
After the two sat down, they sighed for a few words. Yang Siyi took a sip of tea and moistened his lips and said to Zhu Biao: "We are ordered to return to the capital. The official duties at hand are handed over in a hurry. Please give me your Highness's supervision. Droughts are frequent in Guanzhong, so construction is needed."
Water conservancy is of great importance and must not be neglected."
"His Majesty Ming, last year Wei Chen led the people to build the Hongqu Weir in Jingyang County and dredge the Longshou Canal. This year, the Hong Canal Weir in Jingyang has been dredged for more than 200 miles in Jingyang, Sanyuan, Liquan, Gaoling and Lintong. The old minister originally
