Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 306 Ah Gui Knelt Down
Rende Palace, on the archery range.

Li Chenggui begged the two Highnesses bitterly not to drive him away.

"Aren't you going to be driven away? Just let you rebel here face to face?" Zhu Zhen looked at him coldly and said, "Just now I said 'small things don't matter, it's punished by the Spring and Autumn Annals', but later on I dare to disobey!"

"Do you know what it means that the father guides the son and the king guides the subjects?" Zhu Ye echoed from the side.

"Yes, I really know I was wrong." Li Chenggui broke down in tears and said: "The little minister is just begging for mercy from the Heavenly Dynasty. Your Highnesses raised their noble hands, and they don't have the slightest intention of disobedience!"

"Why didn't you ask the Yuan Dynasty people to have pity?!" Zhu Zhen raised his voice.

"They are tyrannical Tartars, they can't reason." Li Chenggui whispered.

"So you are submissive to the tyrannical Tartars, but you are here to bargain with us, right?" Zhu pointed at him and cursed: "You dog, you think a gentleman can bully you, right? Then you made a wrong idea. We are also very tyrannical towards small countries that play tricks on us!"

"Yes, I'm quitting." Li Chenggui hurriedly kowtowed. "The two Highnesses say what they say, and the ministers will follow suit."

"Oh, it's pitiful to see him." Zhu Zhen looked at Zhu and said, "Why don't you sacrifice virgins and widows."

"Don't, your children are not rare, some are rare." Zhu Da shook his head and said: "Now that there is no war, our Ming army also has countless bachelors, waiting for the court to give them wives."

"Cheng Gui has already opened his mouth, let's give him face." Zhu Zhen sighed, "Besides, it's too barbaric to conscript civilian women. We can't be like Meng Yuan who doesn't love the country."

"Oh, you've already said that..." The third child curled his lips and stopped objecting.

In fact, this is what the two brothers discussed earlier.They knew that this would definitely not work with the father.The old thieves want face so much, if they know that they let Goryeo sacrifice virgins every year, even widows are not spared, it will open their asses.

The reason why he still has to perform like this is nothing more than creating cards in the void and then canceling them, which is considered a concession to Ah Gui.

"Thank you, Your Highness. On behalf of the thousands of people in Goryeo, I kowtow to your Highnesses." Sure enough, Li Chenggui had to thank the two Highnesses for their benevolence.

"I will definitely build a shrine for you, set up a tablet of longevity, and let future generations know the kindness of your highness!"

"Now you have an explanation?" Zhu Zhen bent down, took out the handkerchief and handed it to Li Chenggui, "There is nothing to worry about, right?"

"No, it's gone." Li Chenggui quickly took it with both hands, pressed his forehead and said, "We must follow the old rules of the Yuan Dynasty and follow them one by one."

"Okay." Zhu Zhen patted him on the shoulder, and said in a more soothing tone: "Don't worry, the situation of Gaoli in Daming is definitely far better than that of the previous dynasty. In a few years, the ruling and opposition parties will praise you as the consul... oh By the way, I don’t think it’s necessary to be so rote, and the King of Korea must be the prime minister of this province, so it’s okay for you to be the prime minister.”

"Really?" Hearing this, Li Chenggui's eyes lit up instantly, forgetting the previous humiliation and pain.Wagging his tail more and more willingly, he begged for mercy: "I dream of becoming a courtier of Daming, not a courtier of a courtier!"

"Of course there's no problem." Old Liu smiled and said:

"Of course, our Ming Dynasty has revoked the province, and in the future, Gao Li and other departments should be appointed as the Minister of Political Envoy."

"Then, what is this Chengxuan... What's the difference between the chief envoy and the province?" Li Chenggui asked hurriedly.

"To put it simply, the power of the province is divided into three divisions. The three divisions are the chief envoy in charge of government affairs, the procuratorial envoy in charge of criminal names, and the commanding envoy in charge of military affairs. The chief envoy, the procuratorate, and the capital The commanders are of the same rank and level, and they are not subordinate to each other, and they all report directly to Nanjing."

Lao Liu smiled and asked: "We discussed, these three positions, I will give you three. But you have the most credit, so you choose first."

"This..." Li Chenggui regretted secretly when he heard the words, this was much worse than the provincial prime minister.

But he made it very clear, knowing that the most important thing now is to exclude the King of Korea from the third division.In this way, even if the King of Korea grows up, he is still just a display, unable to threaten himself.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to occupy these three positions as soon as possible.As for which one?
First of all, it can be ruled out by inspectors...

As for the Chief Envoy and the Commanding Envoy, one is in charge of the government and the other is in charge of the army, both are very important.But whether it is Zheng Mengzhou or Jin Tao, they are both frail scholars, and if they serve as commanders of the capital, they will not be able to take away their military power.

"The minister will be bold enough to choose the chief minister." Li Chenggui said boldly.

"Then who will be the inspector?" Zhu Zhen continued to ask, noncommittal.

"Zheng Mengzhou just said that he is the right candidate." Li Chenggui replied.

"What about the commander? Let Jin Tao be in charge? Isn't it appropriate?" Zhu Zhen frowned slightly.

"Lao Liu, have you forgotten? There are two chief envoys on the left and one on the left." Lao Liu pretended to remind him, "Let Agui be the left chief envoy and Jin Tao be the right chief envoy. As for the commanders Why, I think it's better to send someone from China, so that we can help Agui and the others to be villains."

"Ah..." Li Chenggui was tongue-tied, and only then did he realize that the two Highnesses had tricked him again.They had already expected that they wanted to occupy both ends, so they deliberately let themselves choose, so it was logical to leave both commanders to the Ming Dynasty.

But how dare he say 'no'?He had no choice but to laugh and said: "This is the best way, with the support of all commanders and envoys from Daming, what do we have to be afraid of?"

"That's the right attitude." Seeing that the training was successful, the two brothers praised Agui for finally being sensible.

Then Zhu Zhen gave him another reassurance and said: "Don't worry, the Celestial Dynasty will not take advantage of you. The two of us promise you that after you hand over the Shuangcheng Governor's Mansion, the court will make you the hereditary Duke of Seoul." , take Hanyang area as your fiefdom, how about it, this wave is not a loss, right?"

"It's not a loss, it's a bloody profit!" Li Chenggui was overjoyed. Hanyang is the best land in Koryo. It is not only a rare riverside plain on the peninsula, but also located in the heart of the peninsula. Whoever controls this place will control the lifeline of the country.It is much more valuable than the bitter cold land in the northeast.

Because of this, Hanyang has always been the forbidden area of ​​the royal family, and it is one of the three small capitals of Goryeo outside Kaijing, known as 'Nanjing'.Of course, this title is absolutely not dared to be used anymore.

If the influence of the Li family is moved to Hanyang, then Li Chenggui will be the real master of Goryeo!

Thinking of this, Li Chenggui blushed and kowtowed to the two His Highnesses again, vowing to obey his orders in this life and not to disobey the two Highnesses again, otherwise heaven and earth will perish and the whole family will perish!

Zhu and Zhu Zhen looked at each other and knew it was all right.Ah Gui has been tied to Daming's waistband all his life...
