Chapter 289: Speed ??up Liaodong

Huang Ting was a man of his word. He said he would make an appointment with Chen Yunfu for Li Chenggui tonight, so he actually made an appointment with Chen Yunfu that night, and the three of them held a banquet at the post house of the Ministry of Rites.

At this time, no matter how stupid Li Chenggui was, he still knew what Chen Yunfu's attitude was. The two of them had been tacitly understanding each other through this back and forth.

Daming can give Li Chenggui what he wants, but not for free.

Therefore, it is nothing more than a matter of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai. If Ming Dynasty is willing to beat him, it depends on whether Li Chenggui is willing to accept it.

Recalling that all the court gifts brought by his son Li Fangyuan had been returned, Li Chenggui still didn't understand why Chen Yunfu or Ming Dynasty thought this was too little.

It’s easy to handle less, but it’s all over if you add more!

"Thank you, Master, for coming here despite your busy schedule."

Huang Ting picked up the wine glass with a smile and started talking. He greeted Li Chenggui and said, "Your Majesty, how about we toast the Young Master with a drink together."

"Okay, okay." Li Chenggui stopped his random thoughts for the time being, raised his glass and said in agreement: "Young Master."

Chen Yunfu laughed and waved his hand: "You two are so polite, come and have a drink together."

After finishing the drink, Chen Yunfu immediately picked up a second cup and rushed to Li Chenggui and said: "Chenggui has come all the way from afar. For such a long time, both I, His Majesty the Emperor, and I have been constrained by the cumbersome work.

It is indeed a lack of etiquette for the government affairs to fail to support you Cheng Gui. I hope Cheng Gui will not take it seriously."

"Don't dare."

Li Chenggui hurriedly said: "The country above is a big country in the Celestial Dynasty. It has so many affairs. What's more, I, Goryeo, were discourteous first. All my mistakes are the fault of this small country. I apologize to my young master for this wine."

After saying this, he quickly raised his head and drank it all.

"Okay, feel free."

Chen Yunfu followed the drink and said to Huang Tingyan with a smile on his face: "Huang Butang, He Ningjun is really a good man with his demeanor. I don't know how much he drinks. Have you ever accompanied He Ningjun well in these many days?"

"Xiaguan is ashamed. Xiaguan's drinking capacity is really shallow. He is no match for Ning Jun."

"Oh, really?" Chen Yunfu raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Okay, in that case, I will join you today. Let's keep He Ning Jun well together. If He Ning Jun doesn't drink well, you can still think of it.

There are no good men in Ming Dynasty who can drink."

Huang Ting laughed loudly and quickly raised his glass and said: "Young Master is absolutely right. He Ningjun, I would like to propose a toast to you."

This made it clear that Li Chenggui wine was going to be poured into his mouth.

Li Chenggui knew it in his heart, but he was not afraid at all. After drinking with Huang Ting, he didn't take any food with him, and then he toasted with another drink.

Just like that, the three of them started drinking while going back and forth.

It probably took a full quarter of an hour to take a breath before I took a breath. At this time, I looked at the three of them and saw that none of them had red cheeks and a strong sense of drunkenness.

At this point, the three of them are all clear in their hearts, and it’s time to speak the ‘truth’ under the influence of alcohol.

They are all "brothers" when they drink too much, and they "take their heart out" every time.

No matter what the purpose is, in short, when it comes to snoring and having hot ears, if you don’t talk about something, you always feel that something is missing.

No one is exempt from vulgarity.

But at this time, Huang Ting wisely pretended to be drunk. He put his elbows on the table and supported his chin, and began to sway, without adding any more words.

The only two people who are truly qualified to communicate are Chen Yunfu and Li Chenggui.

The latter said: "Please young master, please save me and Gao Li."

"What do you mean by He Ningjun's words?" Chen Yunfu was surprised: "He Ningjun is an important minister of your country, and Goryeo is our vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Our two countries have been getting along extremely peacefully in recent years. Where do these words come from?

ah."

Li Chenggui sighed heavily: "The royal family is stupid and close to villains, which has led to the corruption of the court and the whole court is full of treacherous and sycophants. The young master should not think that the subordinates are in high positions. In fact, in the country, the subordinates have already been like clay Bodhisattvas crossing the river. It is difficult to protect themselves.

And those treacherous villains all have ulterior motives.

When the Shangguo army sent troops to Liaodong to conquer Naha, King Yu of Goryeo listened to the villain's words and actually thought of sending troops north to take advantage of the chaos to make profits."

Chen Yunfu narrowed his eyes: "Is this true?"

"I will never dare to deceive you."

"How dare the Goryeo royal family have such treasonous thoughts!" Chen Yunfu got drunk and became furious in the hall. He slammed the table and shouted: "Such a person who is in vain to be a minister and a son of a man, God will not tolerate it.

Of!"

Li Chenggui took the opportunity to say: "The loyalty of my subordinates to the superior country can be seen from the sun and the moon. In order to eliminate the traitors and traitors, I will fight with the whole family, old and young, and decide to clear the emperor's side!"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

Chen Yunfu lowered his head, and then raised his head to look at Li Chenggui after a while: "Besides this group of villains, there is also the next group. As the saying goes, the kings of Yao and Shun had the ministers of Yao and Shun. Lord Ning should understand this truth.

"

"Therefore, I respectfully request the superior state to issue an edict to abolish the Goryeo royal family."

Chen Yunfu tilted his head slightly as if he hadn't heard anything.

Li Chenggui held up his hands and said urgently: "This is the hope of the five million people in Goryeo. If the superior country is willing to issue an edict to abolish the Goryeo royal family, Goryeo will be grateful."

Thank you, how much is it worth?

Chen Yunfu sighed and wondered: "Although our Ming Dynasty is the supreme state, how can we depose the Goryeo royal family with just one imperial edict? Once the royal family becomes dissatisfied and refuses to accept the decree, in order to defend the imperial power, our Ming Dynasty will inevitably raise troops to attack, and the war will begin."

Open, there are not a few weapons and food, but it is difficult for the country to be in the dynasty now."

"We, the people of Goryeo, have been waiting for Master Wang for a long time." Li Chenggui said obediently: "As long as the superior country is willing to issue an edict to abolish the Goryeo royal family, we, Goryeo, are willing to provide three million dan of grain, one hundred thousand taels of gold, and silver."

One and a half million taels for military expenses."

It was impossible to send troops. Even if Ming Dynasty was willing to send troops, Li Chenggui was not willing.

He himself can abolish the Goryeo royal family at any time now, all he wants is the Ming Dynasty's edict.

The Ming Dynasty’s edict means legal orthodoxy!

One hundred thousand taels of gold and one and a half million taels of silver.

This must have been Korea's tax revenue for several years.

Chen Yunfu thought about it in his mind and coughed lightly.

"The country is indeed in a difficult situation now. I hope Mr. Ning can understand this. After all, Liaodong has just been recovered and many places need to spend money, a lot of money.

Some time ago, Yu Yifeng, Liaodong's economic and strategic envoy, wrote a letter to Benfu, saying that several docks were planned to be built in the coastal areas of Liaodong, and that roads and cities were to be built.

It's a million taels per mouth. It's easy to say that the money can still be taken out if the state and the imperial court squeeze it, but Yu Yifeng still wants to do 100,000 corvees. Alas, it gives me a headache."

Li Chenggui gasped.

This Chen Yunfu really dared to speak, his upper lip touched his lower lip, and he actually dared to ask for one hundred thousand corvees!

This is a human being.

However, there were only so many people in the entire Goryeo Kingdom. Money and food were only external possessions, but the people were the vitality of the country.

Just when Li Chenggui was in trouble, Chen Yunfu's voice sounded in his ears again.

"He Ningjun wants to clear you, and I, the Ming Dynasty, absolutely support it. I wish I could personally bring those traitors to justice."

Li Chenggui suddenly understood what Chen Yunfu meant.

If you want to seize power, you must kill a group of opponents to clear the way.

Are the family members of the nine opposing tribes, old friends and disciples, servants and tenants of the government all together, are you afraid that you won't be able to raise one hundred thousand?

You might as well stop killing them and let them contribute to the construction and development of Liaodong.

Living people are more valuable than dead people.

This is good, as it not only helps the Ming Dynasty, but also eliminates all the opposition in the country, and does not leave an infamy for killing innocent people and massacring Li Shu.

It is not me, Li Chenggui, who killed the people. They were all handed over to the Ming Dynasty. Whether they live or die has nothing to do with me, Li Chenggui.

Wanting to understand this, Li Chenggui drank the wine in front of him and said humbly: "Such a rebellious minister will naturally be handed over to the superior country. After returning to the country, I will do my best to handle this matter."

"Oh, I'm really too drunk, so I left first."

Chen Yunfu stood up unsteadily and said something before leaving.

"In a few days, His Majesty the Emperor's dragon body will recover, and I will help you request a summons."

After saying this, Chen Yunfu walked away without waiting for Li Chenggui to thank him.

Now the result is a win-win.

What Li Chenggui wanted, Ming Dynasty gave it to him.

What Ming Dynasty wants, Li Chenggui also wants to give it!

Food, money, people, so many resources will pour into Liaodong.
Chapter completed!
