First Prince of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 753
Chapter 753 Yang Siyi
“Your Highness wants to test it out, it’s nothing at all, but the current situation may not be suitable, after all, Li Fujun is over there, and if you are in a hurry, it is easy to push everyone there.”
The young man who had been silently following behind Zhu Di suddenly spoke Mandarin, but he was still not proficient. It was obvious that he was a local Korean, not a follower of Zhu Di.
“It doesn’t matter if you push it over there, it doesn’t need too much, just remove one or two.”
Because of the attitude of Jiang Yu Jiang Side and others, Zhu Di has gradually understood that his elder brother does not want Goryeo to be completely reduced to his vassal state at this time, so he will let Li Chenggui grow bigger.
There may be a deeper reason for this, but he still only wants to believe that the eldest brother is just worried about his ability, so he will make another arrangement. As long as he shows enough ability, then the eldest brother will not stop him.
Therefore, he did not rely on his status to oppress Li Chenggui, but fought against him and the Korean family within the rules. He was a little reluctant at the beginning, but until today, he really understood that he could reach this position People who are not good with each other.
After suffering a few times of overt and secret losses, he was constantly vigilant, and what followed was the joy of fighting with others.
Now he is not afraid that Li Chenggui and others are too strong, but that they are too weak to show their abilities.
………
“His Royal Highness King Qi is becoming more and more difficult to deal with now.”
“Hmph! How easy is it to deal with it? Thousands of riders have come from the north to defect, and the nobles and nobles will be able to survive just waiting for the gold to fall from the sky.”
Li Chenggui listened to the people below with a straight face arguing, and did not speak to appease him, because he didn’t need it at all, and it wasn’t his turn to take a bite of Naha’s meat, which wasn’t surprising at all.
As for the king of Qi, the scale is considered small now. If the dignified prince and prince of the Ming Dynasty really reveal their identities on the bright side, those who have taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty and the guards of Liaodong will be under his jurisdiction.
What was a mere Wanqi at that time? Now it’s pretty good. At least he still has a chance. As long as he firmly grasps it, with his identity and military power in his hand, he can at least earn the wealth of the next family heir.
The voices below are getting noisier, and some of the people standing at the front are no longer the group from a few months ago. Most of these newcomers are direct descendants of various families sent directly by the imperial court, and he is not easy to offend. Can give courtesy.
This also made his confidantes a little dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do. How to accumulate strength in the turmoil if he didn’t win over his party members? The rumors from Kaijing gradually spread, and the day of Koryo’s fall was not far away.
The war here is over, and the army is about to lead the army to put down the rebellion, but the so-called rebellion is like a comb, how can this rebellion be stopped, unless the aristocratic family releases its own granary and distributes the land to the people, otherwise Relying on military suppression alone is tantamount to drinking doves to quench thirst.
At this moment, several people suddenly ran outside, saluted Li Chenggui, who was in command, and walked quickly behind his general and whispered a few words, those generals immediately slapped the table and stood up.
“It actually grabbed my head, what does this mean!”
“Marshal, I ask you to be the master. That pro-army led his troops to break into the homes of big families in prefectures and counties to wantonly plunder livestock, grain and grass. This is no different from bandits.”
“It’s just a bully, that His Highness wants to speak up, so why should we be stingy with this? This obviously doesn’t take us seriously.”
The first middle-aged man got up and cupped his hands to Dongfang: “Commander, he is very precious, but is it possible that he can still respect our lord?”
The east is the honor of the four directions, which means that no one needs to talk too much. Since he mentioned this, Li Chenggui can’t stay out of the matter, and said with a look of embarrassment: “Except for the Son of Heaven, no one in the world can compare with the East Palace.” , but do not alienate relatives, humble do not seek respect, how can we disturb His Highness because of such trivial matters.”
“The commander-in-chief is worrying too much, and there is no need to disturb His Highness. It is not easy for His Highness to go to the East Palace to complain about such trivial matters. This time, the livestock food and grass are nothing. I just hope that the commander-in-chief will come forward and warn him. “
“Yeah, let’s discuss what’s going on. It’s not justified to rob our own people.”
Li Chenggui nodded from time to time but didn’t show any attitude. He let their persuasion be round the bush but remained unmoved.
The representatives of the major families had no choice. After all, this was the army of Commander Li Chenggui. It was easy for them to come in and share some of the fruits of victory, but it was still a little too late to seize the actual control. Naturally, it was impossible to turn against him.
What’s more, this amount of livestock food and grass is not worth it. Whether it is the same as His Royal Highness King Qi or Li Chenggui, they still have this kind of tolerance. There is no transaction.
Just want to use this to make Li Chenggui completely turn against King Qi, and then he will have to rely more on the family behind them. In this way, someone will bear the risk, and the benefits can be taken away.
Now with Li Chenggui’s attitude, it is impossible for them to go to the king of Qi to get back the livestock food and grass by themselves. Not only can they not ask for it, but they have to take the initiative to send some more.
After a long time of fussing, it finally broke up. Li Chenggui stretched out his hands to cover his eyes and sighed deeply. Finally, he calmed down. He moved his palms away to reveal his murderous eyes.
These people are really greedy. They came out of nowhere and inexplicably stole a lot of benefits. They still feel that it is not enough, and they want to intensify conflicts and fish in troubled waters.
This account will be settled sooner or later!
It’s not too far away, the corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer, the prince has been planning for a long time, can it be just to seize a country that still depends on your control? A bitter cold and barren land that you have completely drained?
His confidants have been scattered by him these days, not to go to various places to guard, but to be the rebel leaders of various provinces in Korea. What they want to eat is the family.
When they grow to a certain extent, and each family can’t resist with their own private army, in order to protect the family business, they will definitely invest resources in this formed army, and this family dog, which they have placed high hopes on, will What about watching from the sidelines?
The upper echelons of Goryeo will be emptied, and the order at that time will be rebuilt by him. Countless unowned fields, coupled with the population that has plummeted due to the chaos and famine, this is the best and cleanest country, and it is also the perfect land he will dedicate to the prince. Gift.

After finally coaxing Li Yan away, Zhu Biao immediately summoned Yang Siyi, who was in charge of politics in Shaanxi Province, who had rushed back. After returning to Beijing to hand over, he was about to go to Yunnan to assist Mu Ying.
Yang Siyi is an old minister from Long, and he is now over fifty. When he entered the hall, Zhu Biao stood up and took a few steps to greet him, and personally helped the old man with gray hair and rough skin.
After taking a closer look, Zhu Biao couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. When he saw Yang Siyi last time, he remembered his demeanor, and he almost didn’t recognize him in just a year or two.
“My minister Yang Siyi pays his respects to His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness will be safe forever.”
“Lao Aiqing is here, and Liu Jin is offering tea.”
“No.”
“Hey, Your Highness, please come by yourself.”
After helping him to sit down, Zhu Biao sighed: “It’s okay. Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Aiqing for a year or two. I never thought that Qing would come here because of hard work. I really feel…”
The old minister who sat down with half of his buttocks and straight back raised his smile and said calmly: “Serving the country, supporting the people for the king, what is the hard work, it’s just a matter of course, I have been staggered with His Highness in the past few years when I reported my duties in Beijing, I haven’t seen His Highness for a long time, which surprised His Highness.”
After they sat down, they sighed a few words, Yang Siyi took a sip of tea, moistened his lips, and said to Zhu Biao: “I was ordered to return to the capital, and the handover of official duties was hasty, please trouble your Highness to supervise, the land in Guanzhong is frequently drought, and construction Water conservancy matters are of great importance and must not be neglected.”
“His Royal Highness, last year the officers and men of Weichen built the Hongqu Weir in Jingyang County and dredged the Longshou Canal. plan…”
