Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 296

Everyone in the hall knew very well that the real crisis had not been resolved—Li Renren would never sit still, and would definitely surround the Guest House after dawn.

In addition, Cui Ying will lead the Baishou army into Beijing tomorrow, and if the two actual rulers in Korea, the five Highnesses and their five hundred elites, are not dealt with, it is still a dead end.

Only when Li Renren dies will the situation take a real turn for the better.And it is only useful if he dies before Cui Ying returns to Beijing...

~~
After discussing with several His Highnesses how to proceed tomorrow, the three of them bid farewell and left the Guest House.

They tacitly did not ride a horse or a sedan chair, and walked side by side on the dark street.

At this moment, the flames of the Taipu Temple had not been extinguished, and the whole city of Kaijing was filled with the smell of roasted horse meat...

"Actually, we can also disclose the identities of the five Highnesses to the public, so that neither Li Yuanjun nor Cui Yuanjun can do whatever they want." A civil servant like Zheng Mengzhou is naturally very unimpressed by military coups, so he always thinks about using political means. The way to solve the crisis:
"I can also ask Empress Dowager Mingde to come forward, and I can always try my best to keep the five Highnesses safe."

"It's a way." Jin Tao is now, as long as he can not die, he can do anything.

"Hehe..." Li Chenggui sneered and remained silent.He is a warrior, so he is naturally very interested in the military coup.

On the contrary, he has little to gain from a political solution to the crisis.

"Why, General Li has a different opinion?" Zheng Mengzhou said displeased.

"His Royal Highness Chu Wang has clearly issued a decree. You have just left the house, and you are going to obey the law?" Li Chenggui asked coldly, "Is the wine you just drank in vain?"

"I didn't say that." Jin Tao hurriedly dismissed it.

"Your Highness is young and vigorous, and he is not from Korea. We courtiers in Korea must consider the future of the country." Zheng Mengzhou said with a serious face to Li Chenggui.

"We are rude people, we can't think about such a long-term." Li Chenggui snorted and said: "We only know that we have to do things if we promise! Otherwise, your highnesses will blame you, and you will die than Li Renren." The consequences are much more serious!"

"That's true." Jin Tao nodded and said: "Without Li Renren, there is Liu Renren. But if your highnesses bear a grudge against us, Goryeo will suffer a lot in the future."

"Alas..." Zheng Mengzhou sighed, just about to say a few more words, but Li Chenggui snorted coldly and said: "Zheng Sicheng, since we are all sticking to our own opinions, we should go our own way, so let's go!"

"Hey, General Li, don't be impulsive. Right now the survival of Koryo depends only on the three of us. Do we want to split again?" Jin Tao hastily held the two of them back to prevent Li Chenggui from leaving. At the same time, he urged Zheng Mengzhou:
"Zheng Sicheng, you are a scholar, and you follow the rules everywhere. But Li Yuanjun holds the imperial army in his hand, and he won't talk to you about the rules. No matter how you want to solve it, you have to get rid of him first. Otherwise, it will be a dead end."

"Yeah." Li Chenggui nodded and said, "It's still Jin Sheren who made it clear, that's what I mean."

"Hey, okay." Zheng Mengzhou saw that the two had reached an agreement, and he really couldn't refute it, so he nodded and said: "Then let's split up according to the plan."

~~
After Li Chenggui returned to the mansion, he called his brother and son to explain the current situation and his decision to them.

"Wealth and wealth are sought in insurance, I decided to do this vote!"

At that time, his brother-in-law Li Yuangui, younger brothers Li He and Li Ying, brother-in-law Li Zhilan, and two sons Li Fangyu and Li Fangguo were present.The Li family members were all ambitious people. After hearing Li Chenggui's decision, all of them had no worries on their faces, but were filled with excitement.

After accepting the task, the disciples woke up the military generals overnight, started cooking, distributed bows and crossbows, sharpened knives, and waited for the dawn...

Before dawn, officials from the Dutang came and announced Li Ren's appointment, so Li Chenggui hurried to the Dutang to discuss matters.

Li Chenggui put on a large official robe on the armor coat, with a sword hanging around his waist, and walked out of the hall with his head held high.

Li Zhilan, who carried his bow and arrows on his back, followed closely behind.

In the courtyard, the heavily armed soldiers of the Li family had already assembled, and silently followed the two out of the gate of Li's mansion.

This murderous posture startled the officials of the Dutang who came to deliver the order.

"General Li, this is?"

"There was chaos in the capital last night, and Mr. Cui Yuan was not in the capital. Didn't Mr. Li Yuan call me to order me to lead his troops to quell the chaos?" Li Chenggui said lightly.

"That's it..." The messenger didn't say much.

~~
Li Chenggui held the same rhetoric and successfully led the crowd into the inner city.It was not until outside the gate of the Dutang that Li Zhilan and others were ordered to wait here.

He took off the sword at his waist, handed it to the soldier at the door, and then entered the Dutang yamen alone.

In the meeting hall, all the bosses have arrived and are waiting for him.

Li Chenggui bowed to Li Renren apologetically and took the ninth seat.

"Except for Mr. Cui Yuan, who is not in the capital, everyone is here, so let's start." Li Renren glanced at the empty chair opposite, and said slowly: "Everyone should already know what happened last night, right?"

"Ah."

"Yes..." All the princes in the capital hall nodded one after another.

"Li Zancheng, you were at the Guest House last night, right?" Li Renren looked at Li Chenggui.

Li Chenggui's official position is a matter of approval by his disciples. To put it bluntly, he voted specifically for it...

"Yes, I was invited to a banquet with Zheng Sicheng last night. The invitation was sent by Jin Sheren, saying that I have already asked the Lord." Li Chenggui replied slowly.

Jin Tao is also in Dutang, willing to accompany the last seat.Wen Yan nodded, indicating that Li Chenggui was right.

"They still had time last night to treat you to a drink?" Li Renren's beard trembled slightly, but he barely maintained his composure, but in reality he panicked like a dog.

"The envoy doesn't have to carry a knife to kill people himself." Li Chenggui smiled wryly.

"Then you just sit and drink all the time?" a military official asked.

"When we heard movement outside, the front hall door was already closed, and no one could leave." Li Chenggui spread his hands and said, "The situation was unknown at the time, so we could only sit back and wait."

"Yes." Jin Tao echoed, "Yesterday I thought they were going to treat guests, but I didn't expect to go to Shuntian Hall to kill people and set fire to them."

"Then what happened afterwards?" Li Renren asked with a dark face.

"Later, it was probably in the middle of the night." Li Chenggui continued: "The people who went out came back and threw the head of Cheli Timur into the arms of Jin Sheren."

"Nearly scared me to death..." Jin Tao said awkwardly.

"They also said that they wiped out all the missions of the Yuan Dynasty, and only four of them were killed." Li Chenggui looked in disbelief: "Is the Ming army really so powerful? Why do I not believe it?"

"The mission of the Yuan Dynasty has indeed been wiped out. There are more than five hundred people, and none of them survived." Li Renren sighed and said, "Do they have any message for you to pass on to this old man?"

"They said, Mr. Li Yuan," Li Chenggui swallowed and said, "It's time to know what's good..."
