"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be so convinced of you, and the future King of Goryeo must be no problem."

After Chen Yongshou relayed the emperor's original words, he saw Zhang Shou laughing dumbly, looking very disapplieving, he thought to himself I also know that it is impossible to leave a deep imprint on that person in a month, not to mention that he is still a little older than the third prince, and he has no intersection with Zhang Shou in the past, where can it be because of the love between teachers and students for a month.

But the emperor said so, he could only pass the word like this, and immediately said in a low voice: "Originally, the emperor wanted to immediately summon Master Zhang to teach face-to-face, but the Goryeo messenger shouted this today in front of the public, so the three scholars knew about it, and immediately rushed to the Qianqing Palace, and after a while, a few scholars will also enter the palace, so the emperor is too late to see you." ”

"Time is limited, and the emperor also knows that if you want to teach people to be famous, it will be a bit difficult for a strong person, but even if you can make that person understand the benefits and disadvantages within a month, Master Zhang, it will be fine. In addition, Mr. Zhang, you are not like those old men who are one-eyed, nor are you like those young and vigorous officials, it is more appropriate to notify this news. ”

Chen Yongshou paused, then lowered his voice and said: "After this incident, the emperor is very dissatisfied with the situation in Goryeo. ”

Zhang Shou couldn't help but think about it all at once, but he quickly retracted it, because from the current emperor's usual tough and freewheeling way of doing things, he felt that he had guessed what people wanted to do.

There is no doubt that the Son of Heaven is probably planning to garrison troops on that large island of Goryeo! However, don't look at Li's Joseon as if he would only ask for help, he wanted to be beaten to the Ming Dynasty for help when he was in the Renchen War, and the Qing Dynasty also sent troops during the Renwu Mutiny, Yuan Shikai was almost the emperor of North Korea at one time, and the little thing in the early years of the later Taizu can only make people laugh, but even if there is a garrison, it is for a while.

As for the matter of a certain US military base in the south of the DPRK, then I will not mention it.

But all in all, throughout the 5,000-year history of China, the attack on Goguryeo buried a Sui Dynasty, a Tang Taizong who drove a personal expedition and then died of illness with few results, and Japan even Kublai Khan's army had two expeditions without success. Even in Annan, a corner of the southwest, the army with considerable combat effectiveness in the early Ming Dynasty fought again and again, and the results of victory were lost in the end.

Even Meng Yuan, who once hit the hinterland of Europe, inevitably withdrew and split, plus most of the people were peasants, unless they couldn't survive, most of them had the consciousness that their homeland was difficult to leave, so even if Zhang Shou knew that the emperor probably didn't mean to occupy the land, he was just vigilant, and he was not too optimistic.

Unless they are fully prepared for colonization and unless they have a good ideological and political education, this kind of garrison will either be homesick or rapidly corrupted after a long period of time.

Facing Chen Yongshou, who was bowing down, Zhang Shou knew that even if he went to the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor, such a burden that had been stuffed over might not be able to be pushed off, so he said angrily at the moment: "Since Gonggong Chen said so, then I'll give it a try." However, it is easy to teach a child who has left the country and is full of confusion. But...... The future king of Goryeo is different. ”

Of course, Chen Yongshou knew that this was difficult for the emperor to be a strong man, and nodded again and again at the moment: "Yes, yes, the emperor also knows this, so he doesn't plan to keep the mountain monarch for a long time." After all, counting the days, the envoys sent out to ask for sins probably haven't arrived in the capital of Goryeo yet! When they learned the news, it was estimated that they didn't have the heart to urge the mountain monarch to go on the road, so there was no problem with delaying it for a month. ”

Anyway, on this day, the lecture in Ciqing Palace has ended, and when Zhang Shou sent away Chen Yongshou, who was in a hurry and didn't know where to go in person, he simply left the palace and went to the South Hall of Huitong.

Of course, he can casually ask a student to go together, but Zhu Er used to be a frequent visitor to the South Pavilion of Huitong, Lu Sanlang rarely had a study task to accompany his daughter-in-law at home, Zhang Chen called Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu away, and Ji Jiu shook his head when he talked about those Koreans and said that it was not pleasant, Zhang Da was happy, but he didn't want this heartless person to block the thunder, so after thinking about it, he simply went by himself.

took Ah Liu to the gate of the South Hall of Huitong, Zhang Shoudu didn't even have time to sign up, and the host and guest director of the Ministry of Rites who were sitting here hurriedly greeted him. The person was obviously informed in advance, and without saying a word, he invited Zhang Shou in first, and only then did he open his mouth when he arrived at the plot where the Goryeo mission lived.

"I've been here since the Goryeo messenger arrived today, and I've never let anyone out, and they shouldn't know the news yet."

Zhang Shou can understand the caution of this principal, after all, it has just been revealed that the second prince died at the hands of a group of pirates pretending to be envoys, and the king of Goryeo died suddenly, and anyone would make up a bunch of intrigues and tricks. Therefore, he could not help but praise the prudence and carefulness of the principal, and when the time came back with a bunch of flattery, he smiled at the man.

However, he didn't know that the head of the main and guest department couldn't say that he had a hard time, and the previous impeachment of Zhu Er and Ji Jiu and Zhang Da came here to make trouble, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was not even any follow-up news, and even rumors said that the emperor was dissatisfied with him. Especially after the news of the earth-shattering incident came out, he simply felt a little cold in his head.

Now that he looks at the Goryeo envoys in this courtyard, it doesn't look like any envoys at all, but he thinks they are like cannonballs that will explode at any moment! Fortunately, Zhengdan Dachao passed steadily, otherwise he would simply feel that he could resign and go home!

When Zhang Shou saw Jishanjun, he saw that the prince of Goryeo was sitting on the bed with a pale face, and on one side stood the trembling envoy - the poor Licao Senator. Thinking that these two had just faced the questioning of the four princes in the morning, but at this time they were fighting to deal with themselves, he felt as if they were villains.

can think about it again, this is the Daming Huinan Pavilion, the family is the guest, but he is half the host, and his pity quickly disappeared.

After people go back, they are the masters of a country, even if they are the masters of a vassal country, it is better than staying in Daming like a proton before, this kind of mood of turning over a serf to sing, and still need the sympathy of others?

Therefore, Zhang Shou sat down on the Jindun unceremoniously, and then said with a smile: "The last time we met, we took a picture outside the city, and I saw you again today, and I knew that Shanjun was really sick and weak." The capital is cold to the bone in winter, and you have to recuperate. ”

When I first arrived before, before I had time to enter the city, I had seen the unscrupulousness of Zhang Shou's pedestrians when they were in a hurry, especially the eldest son of the Duke of Qin who had fought with his uncle, so seeing Zhang Shou again at this time, whether it was Shanjun or Licao Senator, they all felt that their hearts were beating extremely fast, and they were full of panic.

Therefore, even if Zhang Shoujun was elegant and mild-mannered, neither of them dared to be sloppy, and Senator Licao immediately rushed to answer: "Thank you for your concern and compassion, Mr. Zhang, you are the teacher of His Royal Highness the Prince, I heard that you are busy every day, but you still came to visit us in person, we are really grateful." ”

Zhang Shou saw that Shanjun's lips squirmed for a while, and finally he didn't speak at all, he said lightly: "I'm very busy, so since the four princes have already been here today, if there is nothing to do, of course I won't come to the South Pavilion." Today, a messenger came from Goryeo and brought a message. ”

Goryeo messengers?

Even if Senator Licao and Shishanjun were not members of the same faction on weekdays, they couldn't help but glance at each other at this time—but it was impossible to say that they exchanged glances, and it was difficult for the little Shishanjun to comprehend such a complicated thing. But at this moment, it was Zhishan Jun who took the initiative to ask: "May I ask Master Zhang, what news did the messenger bring?" ”

Knowing that Zhang Shou was a traitor but still asking questions, Senator Licao certainly felt that this young clan was a little naïve, but he himself actually wanted to know the specific situation, and hoped that it was the country that noticed something unusual on Jeju Island first. But immediately after, he felt as if his blood was frozen.

"The Goryeo messenger said, 'Your king has died of illness.'"

Zheshanjun only felt that the whole person was permeated with an incredible emotion. Although his uncle was not originally a prince, he behaved as a hardliner when he grew older, and if he had not been reprimanded in the capital of the Celestial Empire, and then there was a lot of reproach and opposition in the country, his uncle might have directly expressed his ambition to free Goryeo from the vassal state.

Why was he sent to the Ming Kingdom so easily this time, and it wasn't because his uncle had just ascended the throne that he slashed the knife at those famous nobles who were also powerful in the country, so he would take him next to stand up?

The poor mother has been widowed for many years, and his brother is even worse than him, and for the sake of their safety, he doesn't dare to say a word at all, and of course it's not his turn to say a word! Such a young and ambitious uncle died like this?

He thought he would be ecstatic, relaxed, and gloating...... But in fact, his biggest emotion was that he was cold, and he only felt that an indescribable fog was enveloping the whole of Goryeo, and even the dignified king was being played with in the palm of his hand, and he couldn't even save his life.

But Senator Licao was so shocked that even his teeth chattered. The envoy is not a particularly good errand, nor is it a too bad errand, after all, it is impossible to come by land, it is impossible to encounter bandits, and it is impossible to have a life, and now the Ming Dynasty is not like in the early years, and then pulled the messenger out and cut it, so because of this, he was sent out of the king faction.

Before he had time to show anything, the king was actually dead?

So what does he do? Or rather, what about his family? Will you passively coerce someone's camp, and then do something that is likely to destroy your family? He had just explained to the four princes in the morning the origin of those handmaidens and the fire man, would his children also fall into such a fate in the future?

And having scared enough of the two people, Zhang Shou did not continue to sell Guanzi, but said with a smile: "The messenger is said to have brought no letters, but he also brought another message, that is, the princess wants to welcome the returnee Shanjun into the heir and inherit the throne." ”

One of the faces of the Shan Jun suddenly froze there. My uncle died of his eldest son, but he also had a second son, but he still wanted him to become an heir and inherit the throne, why is this? Can the two classes of Chinese and Chinese Wu agree? He suddenly remembered that when his father died, he and his eldest brother had two sons, but his grandfather did not think about establishing a grandson at all, but chose his uncle without hesitation.

He used to feel that he didn't understand, especially after seeing his mother secretly shed countless tears, and he felt that this was really bullying their orphans and widows, but now, he finally faintly understood.

Grandfather's throne was originally taken back from his cousin Lu Shanjun - the king who ascended the throne at the age of eleven and became the prince all the way from the grandson to the son, and he couldn't sit on the throne, let alone his cousin, who was only two years old now? And now, my grandfather is a descendant of my grandmother's Queen Cisheng, and the eldest is my brother and him!

Therefore, the so-called eldest princess wants him to become the heir and inherit the throne, not because of anything else, but because he is old, so his grandmother, Queen Cisheng, will choose him. She has experienced such a thing, so of course she will try her best to avoid the situation where the young lord is in power and the ministers are eyeing her. After all, in North Korea, the king who was forced to abdicate never ended well!

He thought a lot for a moment, but he didn't seem to think about anything, and the faster and stronger reaction than him was undoubtedly the Senator Recao who wanted to try to grasp the last straw.

When he reached middle age, he almost didn't think about it and shouted loudly: "The king and concubine are wise, and the young and talented people of the mountain will definitely be able to support the country and the country and be loyal to the Celestial Empire." ”

These last four words were obviously added by force, but none of the two people present would object. It's just that compared to Zhang Shou, who is calm and relaxed, Zhe Shanjun is very worried at this time that in the case of such a turmoil just now, Daming will detain him and not let him return to China. Even if he doesn't have such a strong attachment to the throne, if he returns one day later, it may be turned upside down.

It is more likely to affect the mother and the eldest brother.

Therefore, even if he had already knelt down once in the morning with illness, at this moment he still lifted the quilt and staggered to get out of bed, but just after struggling to get up, he was pressed on his forehead by a finger of Zhang Shou, and he involuntarily sat back at the moment.

"You don't need to ask me for anything, because the messenger shouted directly, and he didn't bring a written letter, so it's debatable whether it's true or not, and now that the emperor has summoned the cabinet scholars to discuss, I don't have the authority to decide such a thing." Seeing this, Shanjun suddenly showed an extremely confused expression, and he suddenly changed his words, "But there is one thing decided. ”

He glanced at Senator Licao, who was standing aside, but his eyes and ears were clearly very linear, and said lightly: "From today or tomorrow at the latest, I will probably be a teacher for you for a few days. Of course, what I said, you can go in one ear and out the other, because you can't help but learn this kind of thing. ”
