Suddenly, Pu Bancheng felt a chill all over his body.
A group of noble warriors, for the sake of their own wealth and military exploits, actually incited the King of Wu to conquer Goryeo!
In Goryeo, he can be regarded as someone who is familiar with the inside story of the Ming Dynasty. The founding warriors and nobles of the Ming Dynasty are all relatives with broken bones and connected tendons, and most of them are fellow villagers of the Ming emperor. I think that the thousand-year-old King of Wu, his maternal family
That is why King Kaiping always encounters spring.
The King of Wu was young and vigorous, and the nobles of the Ming Dynasty were all warriors who killed people in exchange for wealth!
Thinking of this, Pu Bancheng cursed those short-sighted people in Goryeo in his heart, for advocating that the Central Plains was in turmoil and that Goryeo should catch up.
But those lands have already entered the mouth of Goryeo, and now they are spit out to Ming Dynasty. It is hard to even think about what to do.
Sir, does King Wu really have this intention? Pu Bancheng said anxiously.
Li Jinglong saw that the heat was almost done and said with a smile, it depends on your sincerity!
Sincerity? Park Bucheng doesn’t understand.
The young prince loves face, right! Li Jinglong said, It’s not that you really care about those wild lands, but that you took them but didn’t bring any benefits to Ming Dynasty. Even Chitose couldn’t swallow this!
The official understands! Pu Bancheng bowed his hands and said, "I will thank you on behalf of the Lord of Goryeo and repay your kindness later!"
After saying that, he hurried away.
After he left, Li Jinglong smiled and picked up the golden tickets on the table, including four leading tickets worth five hundred taels each, feeling very happy.
If you're lucky, you don't have to be busy, but if you're not lucky, you'll be heartbroken! Li Jinglong flicked the golden ticket and said with a proud smile, I haven't had this much salary in ten years. After saying that, he stood up happily.
But as soon as I stood up, I felt sad.
This money cannot be taken, and it is the King of Wu who should take it.

On the second day, just after Zhu Yunxu and Fang Xiaoru had finished reading, they met Li Jinglong who had returned to life in Jingren Palace.
Immediately, I also saw the two thousand taels of gold tickets on the desk that were redeemable on sight.
I asked you to appease him, not to accept bribes! Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi was furious.
One of his own princes beat up the Goryeo envoy, which frightened people, and then the Duke of Ming Dynasty extorted two thousand taels of gold from them. The old man set a tribute list for Goryeo, which was how much gold was given in a year.
I didn’t want it, he forced it on me! Li Jinglong bowed and explained, I can’t accept it if I don’t want it. I don’t dare to accept this money, so I can only ask His Highness to judge. After saying that, he raised his head again. His Highness can rest assured that I have already accepted it.
The envoy who appeased Goryeo.
What did you say? Zhu Yunxi frowned and asked, Li Jinglong's work is really unreliable, at least he can't do big things.
At that moment, Li Jinglong recounted what he said to Pu Bancheng last night.
After hearing this, Zhu Yunxi felt that Li Jinglong's unreliable remarks just now seemed to be a bit unfair to him. Didn't he pick himself very clean? He had no intention of just being a noble man. Afterwards, the Korean envoy came to express his filial piety, and he realized that
Thanks to Gao Li's sincerity, this matter is over.
However, the more Zhu Yunxi thought about it, the more wrong he became.
What's the point of looking at Gao Li's sincerity? Zhu Yunxi said angrily, "Are you just like yourself and want to get benefits from Gao Li?"
If you don’t want it, you have to let him give it away! Li Jinglong said, if you don’t want it, wouldn’t he be even more scared?
Zhu Yunxi thought about it, God knows this and the earth knows it, you know it and I know it!
Don't worry, Your Highness, no third person will know! Li Jinglong promises.
If those old masters found out about this, they would have to give some lectures. This morning, because they beat up the Korean envoy yesterday, they were bombarded by Liu Sanwu and Fang Xiaoru and other Hanlin scholars in turn.
The bachelors of the Ming Dynasty now are not the greedy civil servants a hundred years later, nor are they weaklings who claim to be slaves. Let alone the King of Wu, even if he is the emperor, they will behead him.
Afterwards, Zhu Yunxi took the golden ticket and went directly to Fengtian Hall.
In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was still reviewing memorials. The old emperor had no money to study when he was a boy, but he made up for it by becoming emperor in the second half of his life. He was tired from writing papers every day, and he got up early and went to bed late.
Grandpa Emperor! Zhu Yunxi greets you.
Finished reading? Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even raise his head. There were tangerines on the table as tribute from Jiangxi. Eat some!
I have something to tell you! Zhu Yunxi stepped forward, put down the golden ticket, and told Li Jinglong's story.
A useless thing, he looks smart but is actually a fool! Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and scolded Li Jinglong for being too short-sighted!
However, when his eyes fell on the gold ticket, he sneered again. This envoy from Goryeo was really generous, and he paid for two thousand taels of gold!
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed again. It seemed that the Goryeo envoy was really frightened. People from the Ministry of Rites said that he had stamped the tribute book in the morning and kept saying that the heaven was tolerant!
The tribute list was a treaty that was humiliating and humiliating the country. Unexpectedly, after being intimidated by Li Jinglong, the Goryeo envoy actually signed it by mistake.
Does his signature count? Zhu Yunxi asked.
He came here on behalf of Li Chenggui of Goryeo, so it certainly counts! Zhu Yuanzhang said, pulled out a list, take a look!
Goryeo presented a tribute bill to King Wu for his thousand years old?
Zhu Yunxi opened it and took a look. He was grateful for the kindness of the Celestial Empire. In addition to the annual tribute gift, he specially presented the thousand-year-old King of Wu, ten horses, ten beauties, five acrobats, thirty Eastern pearls, twenty mink skins, and Haidongqing.
Two, ten pairs of Korean bows...
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled on the side and said, "They are really good at making camp. In order to please you, they will do anything to please you!"
Zhu Yunxi said disdainfully, "My grandson is your grandson. Prince Ming doesn't want anything. What's the use of these things?"
Silly boy! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Don't give me money for nothing!" He said with a smile, "If you don't need it, you can give it to others in the future. It's better than taking money from the treasury."
Even if he gives his grandson a golden mountain, sooner or later he will make sure he eats the land and spit it out with profits! Zhu Yunxi said.
That's a matter for people of your generation, we are old! Zhu Yuanzhang stretched his arms and pinched his neck, it hurts!
Zhu Yunxi walked behind the dragon chair and began to pinch Zhu Yuanzhang's neck.
Grandpa Huang, tomorrow is your birthday, take a rest!
I have found excuses to take a break today, and I will do so again in the future. We cannot slack off in state affairs! Zhu Yuanzhang said while looking at the memorial.
My grandson thinks you are too tired!
From now on, you will not have any leisure time! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, after your birthday, there is one more thing you have to do!
Grandpa Huang, please tell me!
Lan Yu has already returned to the court. After our birthday, we will reward the three armies. You can go on my behalf when the time comes! Zhu Yuanzhang said, as the grandson of the emperor, I will let you know what you should know!
Grandpa Huang, is there anything else that your grandson doesn’t know about the Ming Dynasty? Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, how much do you know about military power?
Zhu Yunxi stopped his hand and saw the old man turning back and saying with a smile, "Do you know how many garrisons there are in the capital and how many garrisons there are in the world? Do you know how they pay their food and wages? Do you know who among them can fight and who is obedient?"
Do you know all the governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion? How many horses are there? How many artillery pieces are there? How much iron does the Ordnance Department produce per year? How much armor is there in the warehouse?
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, you must know these things and must hold them in your hands!
