First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 706 Multi-party betting
Cui Ying and Xin Tun have a life-and-death feud. When Xin Tun was in power, he was imprisoned and tortured for the crime of estrangement. Cui Ying was forced to suffer but was forced to admit.

Xin Tun's party member Li Delin, who was in charge of the interrogation, planned to execute him. Fortunately, Zheng Sidao, who was guarding Hepu against the Japanese pirates at that time, firmly opposed the execution of Cui Ying, so he only deprived him of ranks above three ranks, confiscated his land and slaves, and exiled him to Yingde County...

With such a great enmity, how could the Cui family tolerate the son of Xin Tun sitting on the throne, the country's enmity and the family's hatred, so under Yao Guangxiao's persuasion, they surrendered to Daming, making Daming's control over the Korean family a step closer.

Zhu Di shook his head and said: "No need, I guess Li Shuai must have meant the same thing, and there should be a military order later."

"Yes."

Zhu Di glanced at the generals and schools below. There are not many people who are really useful. The children of the aristocratic family shy away. They are not expected to go to the battlefield, but there is no way.

What's more, no matter how many children of the aristocratic family are bad, the family background behind them is solid. Whether it is on the battlefield or in the court of Korea, they can greatly fight for his interests.

As Bei Yuan arranged for Shen Wang Tuotuo to kill Liaodong, the situation in Goryeo began to change frequently, especially after Zhu Di also arrived.

From the original desire to sway between Mongolia and Ming Dynasty to gain benefits, it has changed to whether the vested interests can be maintained and the family's wealth can continue to be extended under the control of Daming.

This also split the aristocratic family in Goryeo. Li Renren and others thought that they still had to support their own people. Since Li Chenggui had already entered the eyes of the Ming crown prince, why not follow the trend, at least their interests were the same, that is Try to maintain the original order.

And Jiang Side's followers of Xin Tun, that is, the emerging scholar-bureaucrats, naturally have different interests from the old aristocrats, and they also have resistance to this decadent dynasty, wanting to break it and establish it.

They hoped that the old order would be broken, so they flocked to His Royal Highness King Qi from Daming, expecting a new order dominated by them to be established.

It also includes some nobles in the middle and lower reaches. The interests of the nobles are not on them, and the family is gradually declining. Since there is nothing at all, they dare to gamble.

And there are people like the Cui family who are willing to turn to Zhu Di, which is an extreme example. Apart from being dissatisfied with Xin Tun, the Cui family is also a political enemy with Li Renren. But Cui Ying is unwilling to be inferior.

In the past year, Li Renren's personality has changed drastically, or he was forced to change drastically. The strong support of so many aristocratic families also represents a strong demand. If there is no return, he will inevitably be abandoned.

As the leader of the power, the benefits are distributed by you, and the credit is all entrusted to yourself. Similarly, the guilt also needs to be borne. This is the price of power.

After Li Renren came to power, he was corrupt, formed a party for personal gain, used power for personal gain, annexed land, seized slaves and servants, and appointed officials according to the degree of bribery, which caused a serious problem of redundant officials.

The slaves and maidservants in the countryside are all over China and abroad, and all the generals come out of their gates to compete for them, taking people from the fields and people, and disregarding state affairs.

All these made Cui Ying dislike and disgust, and made him feel that if he continued to hang out with them, it would be hard to end well, so he chose King Qi of Ming Dynasty.

In fact, if it is true, it is really not a good idea to choose King Qi. After all, who knows what is going on in Daming and whether the crown prince will really support King Qi to take over Goryeo.

Once there is a slight change, all the investment will be in vain. Instead, it is not as good as Li Chenggui and Li Ren. If Ming wants to govern Korea, it cannot do without the natives anyway.

………………

Yao Guangxiao held the black stones to play the chess, and the old man on the opposite side waited intently, surrounded by four delicate girls, and green smoke rose from the exquisite and elegant incense burner.

The old man relaxed a little after he knocked down, took a sip from the teacup beside him and said with a smile, "The Jurchens came and said that they would like to share Liaodong with me, Goryeo, ha ha, a group of savages who drink blood know how to join forces .”

Yao Guangxiao didn't respond, he moved very quickly, as if he didn't need to think, making the other party shake his head and smile bitterly, knowing that the overall situation was settled, he started playing leisurely, and it would take a lot of tricks to eat him.

Yao Guangxiao raised his head slightly: "It's so good."

Qing Qianxing said helplessly: "Master, this old man treats each other with sincerity, so why refuse him thousands of miles away."

"The little monk is not a Buddha. How can you fulfill people's wishes? If there is something in the left servant, it is better to go to Jiang Angel or Li Xiang."

"It's easy to add flowers to the cake, but difficult to give charcoal in the snow. This old man is more greedy."

"Greed creates anxiety, greed creates fear, and if there is no desire, what is there to worry about? Knowing that too much desire is suffering, life and death fatigue, all arise from greed, desire less and do less, and you will be at ease."

Qing Qianxing was born in a Liangban family originally from Cheongju. He served in important positions such as military judges, privy judges, and ministers. important members.

After Xin Jin came to power, he was removed from real power and granted the title of Qingyuan Courtyard Monarch.

The life of an official slave is hard to come by, and it was Jiang Side who saved his life. When Xin Jin was killed and recovered, he should have been in the same party with Li Renren and others, because Li Renren originally chose to support King Shen from Mongolia and fell out due to political differences. , now idle at home.

Qing Qianxing stood up and looked coldly at the monk opposite. His eyes were triangular and shaped like a sick tiger. Although he had a peaceful demeanor, it also made people feel uneasy. Having such a skeletal face is by no means kind and absolutely Non-Buddhism can suppress its roots.

Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and slightly looked up at the opponent, until he couldn't bear it and left angrily, then lowered his head again and put the chess pieces back into the chess box one by one.

In another courtyard, Jiang Side was holding a beautiful and plump woman in his arms to make fun of. This is the prostitute of the Anshan Jin family, the daughter-in-law of the Poping Zhao family, a decent Korean lady, but it was just his occasional visit. Just playthings.

A man dressed as a butler entered, and Jiang Side patted the woman's round buttocks with a smile, telling her to wait in the inner room. The woman stood up supporting his shoulders, gave the butler a charming look, and then swayed away went in.

Jiang Side took out a handkerchief, wiped his fingers and said, "Qing Qianxing is gone?"

"It's already out of the house, and it seems that they broke up unhappy."

"That's good, we will work together, and I don't want to get blood from my colleagues on my hands."

The butler sat directly opposite Jiang Side, picked up the teapot and took a sip, then wiped his mouth.

"Is this monk really so capable?"

"Hehe, what do you think of me?"

"Master Jiang is an incomparable national scholar. Without you, our brothers would not be able to do things so smoothly in this foreign country."

Jiang Side threw the handkerchief aside and said with a smile: "I don't dare to do it. I'm not afraid that Commander Jiang will make jokes. Most of my abilities are on these women."

Jiang Yu's expression did not change: "There have been beauties since ancient times, and this female flow woman can also change the situation. When I work in the military captain's mansion, I often look for opportunities from this. As long as things can be done, there is nothing wrong with using any means. "

After talking for a while, Jiang Yu withdrew. The layout of the opening of the capital was very smooth, and it was basically done. He is now going to meet His Royal Highness King Qi. In the final analysis, it depends on who has enough military power at the critical moment.

Jiang Side did not enter in a hurry, but got up and went to the study to write a letter to His Royal Highness, the situation in Korea was unpredictable, too many people wanted to bet, and they wanted to place multiple bets, the banker was not enough.

Either loose Yao Guangxiao's shackles, or send someone with sufficient status from Daming. He doesn't care who among these people can win the bet, and the dealer will not lose.

What Jiang Side said just now was somewhat modest, but he was not completely humble. At least he still deserved [-]% of the credit for the errands he did in Korea.

Playing with women is not an easy matter. You have to have an explanation for how to play with someone, and you have to make everyone happy. Otherwise, if you play around, break the rules, break the dignity, and make many people dissatisfied, His Royal Highness will ask killed him.

But that's only three or four points of the credit, and the rest should be attributed to the monk, whose wisdom is far-reaching, it's really frightening, no wonder His Highness wants to rein in.
