"The owner has arrived!" Just as Park Sanze was waiting anxiously, a maid's crisp voice came from outside the door.

Hearing this, Cui Li and Park Sanze hurriedly led their subordinates to stand up and bow down to greet them, and the "hall owner" naturally referred to Liu Zhen, Liu Zhen's identity in the Goryeo Art Museum is the owner of the art hall, not the concubine of the Zhongwang Mansion.

"I've seen the owner." Under the gaze of Cui Li, Park Sanze and others, Liu Zhen walked in surrounded by several maids, and Cui Li and Park Sanze bowed in unison.

According to the rules of the Goryeo Art Museum, Yoo Jin's identity in the hall is the owner of the hall rather than the concubine of the Chung Wang's Mansion, and everyone who can see Yoo Jin knows this rule.

"Two adults, I don't know what I want to see the master of the museum?" After taking a seat at the top of the living room, Yoo Jin looked at Choi Li and Park Sam-taek with a smile, pretending not to know what they were coming from.

"The owner of the pavilion has been away from his homeland for a long time, and he must have not eaten the specialties of his hometown for a long time, and after the lord of Shouyang knew about it, he specially ordered someone to go to the hometown of the pavilion owner to prepare some, and I hope the owner likes it." Cui Li smiled slightly when he heard this, and waved to the entourage on the side, and several entourage personnel carried two baskets full of Korean specialties to Yoo Jin, which were all ingredients that Yoo Zhen liked to eat.

It can be seen that Cui Li still put a lot of thought into preparing this gift, he knows that a noble lady like Liu Zhen is not short of money, so it is better to prepare some hometown specialties, and at the same time, it is easier to be accepted by Liu Zhen.

"There's Lord Lautre." Sure enough, Liu Zhen took a look at the two baskets of susvenirs and accepted the gift with a smile, instructed a maid to lead the way, and carried the two baskets to the kitchen.

"Pavilion owner, this is a thousand-year-old Korean ginseng, which is a rare and precious tonic, and the prince learned that the pavilion owner was busy with affairs and worked day and night, so he asked the lower officials to bring it to the pavilion owner."

As soon as Park Sanze saw Cui Li taking the lead, he was naturally not far behind, and took a delicate brocade box from there, opened it and smiled and presented a ginseng inside to Liu Zhen.

"Let His Royal Highness the Prince bother." Liu Zhen did not refuse, and accepted this gift with a smile, she was ready to send this rare ginseng to Li Yuntian, who needed to nourish his body every day.

Park Sam-taek suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, worried that if Yoo Jin didn't accept his gifts after receiving Choi Li's souvenirs, then things would become very bad for him.

Perhaps because of the first meeting, Choi Li and Park Sam-taek did not mention the purpose of coming to the Goryeo Art Museum to find Yoo Jin, and chatted with Yoo Jin there, Yoo Jin has not returned to North Korea for nearly ten years, so he is still very interested in the affairs of North Korea.

In the evening, Yoo Jin set up a banquet at the Korea Art Hall to entertain Cui Li and Park Sam-taek to fulfill the friendship of the landlords, and the atmosphere of the banquet was warm, and the guests and hosts on both sides enjoyed themselves.

After the banquet, Choi Li and Park Sam-taek said goodbye and left, and Yoo Jin stood at the door of the Goryeo Art Museum and watched the two disappear into the distant street, and then got into the four-wheeled carriage parked on the side and returned to the Chung Palace, ready to tell Lei Ting about the meeting with Choi Li and Park Sam-taek today.

Lei Ting is different from Li Yuntian, although she usually works in the lecture hall, but when she goes home every day, she can be said to be the intermediary between Li Yuntian and the palace.

"Sister, it seems that Cui Li and Park Sanze will go to Xiaomei's art hall this time, and they both want to get the support of the prince." Back at King Chung's Mansion, Yoo Jin went straight to the courtyard where Lei Ting lived, and told Lei Ting about Cui Li and Park Sanze's trip to the Goryeo Art Museum today.

Among the ladies of the Zhongwang Mansion, Liu Zhen and Lei Ting have the best relationship, Lei Ting was by her side when Li Yuntian went to Korea, so she and Liu Zhen are old acquaintances.

"The famine in Korea is getting more and more serious, according to the report of the personnel of Wutang in Liaodong, more and more Korean refugees have arrived at our Ming Dynasty's guard on the south bank of the Yalu River, and the prince has mobilized a lot of food to support."

Lei Ting smiled slightly when she heard this, she knew that Liu Zhen did not know the current situation of the Korean country, so she told Liu Zhen the truth in 1510, and Liu Zhen, as a North Korean, should know the current grim situation of the Korean country.

"What are the prince's plans?" Hearing this, Liu Zhen's eyebrows frowned slightly, and then his eyebrows stretched out, and he asked Lei Ting in a deep voice.

Although the Joseon kings drove out the Jurchens and a few local tribes south of the Yalu River during the Yongle and Xuande reigns, and the northern border of the Joseon state was moved north to the Yalu River, the Ming court never recognized its rule over the south bank of the Yalu River.

Therefore, after Li Yuntian defeated the fierce Northern Yuan army in Liaodong, he took advantage of the situation to take back the land on the south bank of the Yalu River occupied by the Joseon king, and set up several guards in the local area to strengthen the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that basically all the 50,000 Korean soldiers organized by Li Yuntian moved to the control area of Daming on the south bank of the Yalu River and became soldiers of the Daming Guard.

In addition, it was the Jurchen people and the people of a few tribes who had been driven out by the king of Joseon before, and Li Yuntian originally wanted to manage them after mixing, so as to facilitate the integration and exchange between them, but after thinking about it, the time was not yet ripe, and it would only be counterproductive to force it, so the people of the Jurchens and the minority tribes demarcated their own living areas.

In Li Yuntian's view, instead of forcibly promoting the integration of these ethnic minorities, it is better to develop the local agriculture and economy first, so that exchanges between the two sides will naturally increase.

The Joseon king was very jealous of the Ming guards on the south bank of the Yalu River, and sent elite soldiers on the border, which is often referred to as the four counties and six towns, to resist the pressure brought by the Ming army, and strictly forbade the common people to cross the border and trade with the Ming.

Due to the existence of four counties and six towns, it was difficult for the people of Korea to cross the border to the north, except for those smugglers.

Now, those refugees have flocked to the territory of Daming, which shows the severity of the famine in North Korea and the severity of the war situation, and the North Korean troops defending the border are no longer able to prevent the refugees from fleeing.

Since the fight between Li Jin and Li Jue, the situation in the four counties and six towns has become quite complicated, with the six towns of Hamgyong Province, which is guarded by Kim Jong-rui, supporting the prince Li Jue, while the four counties of Pyongan Province, which is ruled by Choi Yundeok, supporting the prince of Shouyang, Li Jin.

As the most elite troops in the Korean state, Kim Jong-seo and Choi Yun-deok had a huge influence on the progress of the Korean war, and although they also sent some troops to participate in the war, most of the troops did not move.

First, Kim Jong-seo and Choi Yun-deok have the responsibility of guarding the northern border of North Korea, and once they put all their forces into the civil war, then the northern border of North Korea will be over.

Second, due to the mutual containment of Jin Zongrui and Cui Yunde, the two must maintain enough troops to protect themselves, otherwise once the other party sends troops to capture the territory they are defending, then they will lose their foothold.

It is precisely because of these two reasons that Jin Zongrui and Cui Yunde did not dare to act rashly, and the two of them have deep and rich experience, because the Ming Emperor did not express his attitude towards the war in Korea, so the two decided to keep the troops in their hands.

Kim Jong-seo and Choi Yun-deok knew very well that the Korean soldiers in the four counties and six towns were not only the foundation for them to gain a foothold in the Korean country in the future, but also a barrier in the north of the Korean country.

Besides, who is the future king of Joseon Li Yao and Li Jue don't count, they have to nod the head of the Ming Emperor, so there is no need for the two of them to fight to the death.

In the face of Jin Zongrui and Cui Yunde, who were "standing still", Li Jin and Li Jue felt very helpless, after all, they were not the kings of the Korean State and did not have the power to mobilize the troops of the four counties and six towns.

Although Jin Zongrui and Cui Yunde could not listen to Li Jin and Li Jue's orders, they had to rely on the two, because the military rations needed by the four counties and six towns had to be provided by Li Jin and Li Jue, which made the relationship between the two sides very delicate.

At first, Jin Zongrui and Choi Yunde also let their soldiers prevent the Korean people from entering the Ming Dynasty to escape, but with the continuation of the war provoked by Li Yao and Li Jue, the two were really unable to feed so many people, so they had to turn a blind eye and let them go, otherwise those refugees would starve to death in front of their eyes.

"The prince is ready to end the war in Korea, so that the people of Korea can live and work in peace and contentment like the people of the Ming Dynasty." Lei Ting didn't hide it from Liu Zhen, calmly answered Liu Zhen's question, and also told her a secret news, "In order to stabilize the situation in North Korea, the prince is going to go to North Korea to supervise the war in person!" ”

"The prince wants to go in person?" Liu Zhen was taken aback when he heard this, you must know that Li Yuntian is now in a high position, and there are few things that can work on him.

"Sister, the prince wants to ......" Then, Liu Zhen realized something, and couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hands in shock, with a look of disbelief.

"The prince wants to solve the chaos of the Korean country once and for all, the Korean country is in a corner of peace, there is a Japanese country in the past, and there is the Ming Dynasty in the future, and sooner or later it will lead to annihilation, so the prince took advantage of the chaos in the Korean country to pacify Goryeo in one fell swoop." Lei Ting knew that Liu Zhen had guessed Li Yuntian's intentions, so she looked at Liu Zhen solemnly and said.

Obviously, although the war situation in Korea is complicated, it will not alarm Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian must have other plans for going to Korea this time, and with Liu Zhen's understanding of Li Yuntian, it is easy to guess Li Yuntian's purpose, which must be to accept Korea into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

"Sister, what will the prince do with the Lord Shouyang and the prince?" Liu Zhen knew that Li Yuntian's annexation of the Korean State was for the future of the Ming Dynasty, and he must have planned for a long time and could not change his mind, so after pondering for a while, he asked with a gloomy expression, although she is now the concubine of the Zhongwang Mansion, she is a Korean clan after all, and she naturally cares about the ending of Li Yao and Li Jue.

"Sister, don't worry, the prince is not the kind of person who loves to kill, and he will definitely settle them down." Lei Ting smiled slightly when she heard this, and opened her mouth to comfort Liu Zhendao, she could fully understand Liu Zhen's complicated mood at this time.

"Sister, what does the prince command, how should the little sister reply to them?" Liu Zhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart when she heard this, according to Li Yuntian's character, she would definitely not kill Li Ji and Li Jue, and then asked in a deep voice, she still doesn't know who Li Yuntian supports.

"Tell them that the prince is optimistic about each other." A sly smile flashed at the corner of Lei Ting's mouth, ready to confuse the mission sent by Li Jin and Li Jue.

Liu Zhen was stunned at first when he heard this, and then bowed his head slightly thoughtfully, Li Yuntian's move was to make Li Jin and Li Jue mess up, so that the two would rely more on Da Ming, and then they could benefit from it, and some conditions would be easy to talk about at that time.
