When they arrived at the Sifang Hall, Jin Shan, Hongzhu and others were led into a quiet and elegant courtyard in the backyard, waiting in a side room to dance.

In addition to Jin Shan and Hongzhu, there are other singing and dancing girls who are also invited to come, including the popular Western Regions Dancing Girls and Wa Kingdom Dancing Girls who are popular in the capital, and the reason why this is so is thanks to Li Yuntian's pacification of Kansai and the extermination of the Japanese Invaders After bringing the Western Regions Dance and the Wa Kingdom Dance into the Ming Dynasty, they are deeply loved by the upper class of the Ming Dynasty, and the ordinary people are also full of interest in this exotic dance.

Nowadays, there are formal Western Regions Dance and Wa Dance Dance Workshops in the capital, where many dancers practice their dance skills.

To be honest, Jin Shan is not interested in the children of the powerful people on the scene, although these people have prominent backgrounds but they do not have the right to speak in the court, she needs to find the father of these powerful children, so that she can speak to Li Jue in the court.

Therefore, Jin Shan targeted the son of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, and secretly tried to find a way to get close to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu through him, so that it was possible to make the Ministry of Industry Shangshu support Li Jue, as long as he casually said something favorable to Li Jue in the court, then he might not be able to turn Li Jue's disadvantage over.

At this moment, Jin Shan would not have thought of it anyway, let alone the Ministry of Works, even if the Ministry of Ministers came forward, he could not change his strategy towards the Korean State, which was already in the pocket of the Ming Dynasty.

"I'll tell you something, I heard that Prince Zhong came to the Sifang Guild." Just as Jin Shan was waiting restlessly, Hongzhu suddenly came in from outside the door and whispered something to her.

"Lord Zhong?" Jin Shan was slightly stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up, and he looked at Hongzhu with a happy face, "Where is Lord Zhong?" ”

"In the courtyard next door to us, there is one person standing at the gate of the courtyard who I know, and it is the guard of the loyal prince." Hongzhu lowered her voice, and reminded Jin Shan proudly, "Just know about this matter, don't tell others, the whereabouts of Prince Zhong can't be leaked." ”

"You haven't seen Prince Zhong yet, wait for us on the road, I'll show you." As he spoke, Hongzhu's face showed a hint of smugness, "Last year, Prince Zhong came to the art museum, and at that time he also enjoyed a sword dance carefully choreographed by the hall owner, and I was the one who led the dance. ”

"Sister, the prince is very strict, right?" Jin Shan saw that Hongzhu's words were not without the meaning of showing off, so he suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.

"The prince is very easy-going, there is no official frame of those big lords in the officialdom at all, if you walk on the road, do you think it is a personable and gentle noble son." Hongzhu shook her head when she heard this, then held her hands in front of her chest, her cheeks became a little crimson, and her eyes revealed the shyness and expectation unique to a girl, "It would be great if the prince could come to the art hall often, everyone is looking forward to performing arts." ”

"Your son?" Jin Shan was slightly stunned, and then looked at Hongzhu with a shy look on his face with a shy look of his little daughter, "The prince is not young anymore, right?" ”

In Jin Shan's opinion, Li Yuntian must be over half a hundred years old if he can overcome obstacles all the way to his current position, and he seems to have nothing to do with the image of the noble son, and nine times out of ten it is Hongzhu exaggerating.

"The prince has not yet reached the age of confusion, and with a young face, he is completely a noble son with extraordinary instruments." Hongzhu shook her head again, and corrected Jin Shan's statement with a smile, "As long as you see the prince, you will know that what I said is true." ”

"Not yet the year of confusion?" Jin Shan's face immediately flashed with a look of shock, she knew that Daming's "year of no confusion" referred to forty years old, and she also knew that Li Yuntian had stepped into the career from the small Qipinzhi County, and he could become a prince before the age of forty, which was too incredible.

"This is thanks to the wars between the Ming Dynasty and the surrounding countries in these years, the prince led the army to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty, so that he was able to be named the unique prince with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty." Hongzhu saw that Jin Shan didn't seem to know about Li Yuntian's past, so she explained to her with a smile.

"The prince is amazing." Jin Shan naturally knew Li Yuntian's deeds, but no one had told her Li Yuntian's age, and after listening to Hongzhu's words, she couldn't help but say a perfunctory sentence absent-mindedly, her eyes flickered a little, as if she was thinking about something.

Hongzhu noticed the subtle change in the expression on Jin Shan's face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but flash a subtle smile, at this moment, Jin Shan would not have thought that everything tonight was just a bureau laid out by Li Yuntian, and he gave Jin Shan a set through the banquet of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Gongzi tonight.

Since Li Yuntian asked Liu Zhen to invite Cui Li to a banquet, it was obvious that he would give Park Sanze a chance to "turn over", and this opportunity naturally fell on Kim Sun, who was sent by Park Sanze to be the ear of the Goryeo Art Museum.

Therefore, Li Yuntian took advantage of the fact that Hongzhu and others wanted to dance to the banquet held by Shangshu Gongzi of the Ministry of Industry tonight, and asked Hongzhu to bring Jin Shan to the Sifang Hall.

Those Qingqi people who were sent by Qinglou to study art in the Goryeo Art Museum have been trained since childhood, not only smart and clever but also familiar with the people on the market, especially Hongzhu's mind is the most, so Hongzhu was selected by Liu Zhen to complete Li Yuntian's plan.

In fact, from the moment Kim Sun entered the Goryeo Art Hall, when she approached the girl in the art hall, Hongzhu was also trying to find a way to contact her, but Kim Sun didn't notice it.

Li Yuntian came to the Sifang Hall this time to entertain Hu Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and discuss with him the affairs of the Korean state, after all, the envoys sent by Li Yao and Li Jue had already arrived in the capital for more than half a month, and in addition, the famine in Korea was serious, and many people would starve to death every day of delay.

Therefore, Liu Yuntian was ready to discuss with Hu Ying how to deal with Li Yao and Li Jue's request for help, in other words, who to support to inherit the throne of the king of the Korean state.

To be honest, Hu Ying was not interested in the affairs of the Korean State, in his opinion, it was just a trivial matter, and it was not his turn to come forward at all, and the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette could deal with it.

But then again, after all, Hu Ying was the head of the six civil officials, and in charge of the Ministry of Rites, which was in charge of relations with foreign countries, he also had a great say in the matter of the successor of the king of Joseon, and his opinion was crucial.

Hu Ying did not expect that Li Yuntian would be so concerned about the affairs of the Korean state, and even specially invited him to come to the Sifang Hall in the evening to talk about the affairs of the Korean state; because Li Yuntian had been in the Korean state for a long time and was good at dealing with foreign countries, he completely agreed with Li Yuntian's opinion on the affairs of the Korean state.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty did not intervene in the civil strife of the Korean State for a long time, and Hu Ying also knew that it was because Li Yuntian did not express his position, so the imperial court temporarily shelved the matter.

At the banquet, Li Yuntian told Hu Ying about the general situation of the Korean State, and the strength of Li Yao, the prince of Shouyang, and Li Jue, the prince of the world, are now half a catty and eight taels, evenly divided, and neither side has the strength to swallow the other.

What is particularly important is that the Korean state has ****** because of the war between the two, and it can be said that the people are not happy, and the Ming court has reached the point where it has to intervene in this matter.

As for who is the heir of the king of Joseon between Li Jin and Li Jue, because the rebellion that broke out in Seoul that year, the Ming court has not yet given a conclusion, so both Li Jin and Li Jue are concerned about the possibility of becoming heirs, the key is to see how the Ming court will decide this unsolved case.

"Lord Wang, who do you think is the culprit of the civil strife in North Korea, Li Yao or Li Jue?" After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Hu Ying smiled and asked Li Yuntian, saying that Wutang had a department in Seoul, so Li Yuntian knew best about the rebellion that occurred in Seoul at that time.

"It's not a secret, this king is also confused now, who would have thought that the good Korean country would suddenly be in chaos." Li Yuntian shook his head a little helplessly, and replied with a deep sigh, "As far as this king knows, Li Jue and Li Jue are both suspicious, and after the Korean army that supported the two fought in Seoul, Li Jue was defeated and fled, and then opened the curtain of the Korean war. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Hearing that Li Yuntian said that Li Ying and Li Jue might kill their father and seize the throne, Hu Ying couldn't help but feel a little interested.

"Although Li Jue is the prince, Li Jue is increasingly favored by the king of Joseon, and I heard that the king of Joseon also revealed in private the intention of changing Li Jue as the prince." Li Yuntian put down the wine glass in his hand and told Hu Ying a very private thing.

"I see!" Hu Ying suddenly bowed slightly, his face showed a look of sudden realization, this kind of cannibalism for the sake of powerful brothers, father and son killing each other is countless in history, not to mention, Emperor Yongle privately promised to change the Han King who had made great achievements in war as the crown prince, which led to the later rebellion of the Han King.

Therefore, if the king of Joseon really has the intention of changing the prince, then the situation will become complicated, and both Li Yao and Li Jue may send troops to rebel.

Li Jue sent troops, naturally to prevent the king of Joseon from changing Li Jue to the prince, and Li Jue sent troops to frame Li Jue in an attempt to seize the throne.

So both of them had the motive of rebelling and killing their fathers, and Seoul was in chaos at that time, and no one knew whether the people who attacked the palace were Li Jin's or Li Jue's, or whether both of them wanted to put the king of Joseon to death.

"Lord, since the Korean Kingdom is now in danger, we must make a choice, who do you think is most qualified to succeed the King of the Korean Kingdom?" Although the situation of the civil strife in the Korean Kingdom this time is complicated, it has now reached the point where the Ming Dynasty has to make a choice, so Hu Ying frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Shouyang Lord Li Yao, Li Yao not only won the favor of the king of Joseon, but also has always been respectful to my Ming Dynasty, and it is most suitable for him to succeed to the throne." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said what he thought.

"Then let Li Yao inherit the throne and settle this dispute in the Korean state." Hu Ying nodded when he heard this, as long as Li Yuntian decided on the candidate for the king of the Korean Kingdom, he could let the people from the Ministry of Rites prepare the relevant matters.

"Master Hu, I'm sorry for you on this matter." The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a subtle smile, and he raised his wine glass and saluted Hu Ying, as long as the two of them settled this matter, then Li Yao would become the new king of the Korean state.

"Where, where, this is the officer's business." Hu Ying smiled and raised her glass to touch Li Yuntian, and then the two drank it all.

After the banquet, Li Yuntian and Hu Ying walked out of the small courtyard with a smile and a smile surrounded by guards in civilian clothes.

"Protect the prince!" Seeing this, the leading guards made a deep sound, and the guards drew their waist knives one after another to protect Li Yuntian and Hu Ying behind them.

At the same time, several guards slashed at the shadow with their knives in hand.
