Chapter 1311: Waiting for the Rabbit (One Shift)
"Master Cui, is this news true?" After the initial shock, Li Yao quickly calmed down, frowned and groaned for a while before asking.
"Back to the Great Monarch, this matter should be eight or nine or ten, as far as the lower officials know, the Ming army sent a large number of soldiers to escort those survivors to Seoul this time." Cui Li pretended to ponder for a moment and replied with a serious face.
The survivors' affairs are naturally true, and the reason why those survivors were lucky enough to escape the blockade of Li Yao's army surrounding Gyeongbokgung Palace was because Cui Li had people secretly save them and send them out of Seoul safely.
As one of the participants in the incident, from the time Li Yao raised his troops to launch a rebellion and killed the king of Joseon, he set Li Yao step by step, so that Li Yao fell into a trap and did not know it.
"Master Cui, did you say that Prince Zhong already knew something from those people?" Li Yao's mood suddenly became worse when he heard this, and he looked at Cui Li with a frown and asked.
Since the Ming army has found those survivors, it is obvious that they will be interrogated, and the content of the interrogation is what happened on the night of the murder of the king of Joseon, and the most important thing is whether the people who attacked Gyeongbokgung belonged to Li Jue's camp or Li Jue's camp.
Therefore, Li Yuntian must have known the results of the interrogation by now, and if those survivors testified in unison that the soldiers who attacked Gyeongbokgung belonged to Li Jin's side, Li Jin would be in great trouble.
You must know that Li Yuntian came to Korea this time under the banner of finding out the truth about the murder of the king of Joseon, which was the holy decree he received from the orthodox emperor, so he must have learned the confessions made by those survivors now.
"The Maharaja is at ease." Cui Li saw that Li Yao's face had become very ugly, so he opened his mouth to comfort, "Dajun, the night was dark that night, and the people in Gyeongbokgung Palace didn't know the soldiers who attacked, so they shouldn't know who those soldiers belonged to?" ”
Li Ji nodded immediately when he heard this, the expression on his face softened slightly, Cui Li was right, how could those people in Gyeongbokgung Palace know the identity of the soldiers who attacked, so even if they were interrogated by Li Yuntian, they didn't necessarily know who those soldiers were, otherwise why didn't Li Yuntian move all the time?
"Master Cui, it is always a scourge for those people to stay, it is better to send someone to destroy them, and then frame them for the prince, so that we can sit back and relax." After being silent for a while, Li Yao opened his mouth and said to Cui Li with a gloomy expression, he was still not at ease with those survivors in his heart, so it was better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
"Maharaja, the Ming army escorting those survivors is numerous, I'm afraid that many of them will attack them." Cui Li hesitated when he heard this, and then reminded, it was obvious that Li Yuntian also knew the seriousness of this matter, so he asked people to send additional people to send those survivors to Seoul.
"Obviously, if it doesn't work, we can come to the dark, take advantage of their nightstay to start, and then point the finger at the people on the side of the prince, so that Li Ji's old dog will be affected!" Li Yao's eyes flashed fiercely when he heard this, and he sneered and said the plan in his heart.
Perhaps because of his lack of heart, he still felt that the survivors were more dangerous, and if they said something unfavorable to him, it would make him lose all his efforts.
"Xiaguan will arrange it." Cui Li's eyes suddenly flashed with an imperceptible light when he heard this, and he bowed down and agreed.
"Lord Cui, this matter is very important, you must be careful, even if you can't kill those survivors, let the Ming army think that Li Ji's people did it." Li Ji groaned for a while, and said gloomily, this move can be described as killing two birds with one stone, even if it can't kill those survivors, it can hit the officials of Li Ji's camp.
Since Li Jue was ordered by Li Yuntian to face the wall at home, many of those officials who were originally loyal to Li Jue have followed Li Ji to take refuge in Li Xuan.
"Don't worry, the lower officials know how to act." Cui Li bowed to Li Jin, and took this arduous task in a deep voice, feeling a sense of relief in his heart, Li Jin would never have thought that he would make such a move this time to hit Li Yuntian's gun violently, and no one would be able to save his life at that time.
The next morning, Yun Na told Li Yuntian about Li Yao's asking Cui Li to find a way to kill the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace and frame Li Ji's camp.
Due to the large number of soldiers of the Ming army accompanying the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace, it was impossible for Cui Li to send people to intercept and kill, which was undoubtedly self-defeating, so he thought of a way to set fire to the inn where the survivors stayed at night
Cui Li hung the arson site in two small towns not far from Seoul, which was approved by Li Jin, because it was only a stone's throw away from Seoul, so the vigilance of the accompanying soldiers would definitely be reduced, which greatly increased the success rate of arson.
At the same time, it also gave Cui Li time to prepare, and according to the custom of the Ming soldiers who escorted the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace, they would stay at the local inn at night, so the inn became a key location for Cui Li to carry out the arson plan.
"Li Jin is too composed." Li Yuntian smiled slightly after learning the report, as long as those two fires are ignited, then the officialdom of Seoul will definitely be a sensation at that time, for him, the more chaotic the officialdom of Seoul, the better, so that he can take the opportunity to profit from it.
In any case, Li Yao would never have imagined that his arson plan was already known to Li Yuntian, and that the Ming soldiers who escorted the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace into Beijing were ready to deal with the fire at night, and gave Li Yuntian the reason to further promote the Korean strategy he had set.
"Lord Wang, Li Yao is afraid of the prince in his heart, and he wants to kill people because he wants to kill people because he is a thief, but he doesn't know that the prince has already laid a net waiting for him." Yun Na heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, after dealing with Li Jue, the next person Li Yuntian wanted to defeat was Li Jue.
As long as Li Jue and Li Jue fall, then the situation in Seoul will be in chaos, Li Ji can launch Li Xuan to fight against Li Jue, then Huang Xi's side can also use other princes to deal with Li Xuan, and Li Xuan and others cannot be compared with Li Jue and Li Jue in terms of qualifications and ability, and the situation in Seoul will definitely be a mess at that time, which gives Li Yuntian an excellent opportunity.
It's a pity that the officials of Li Jue's faction who celebrated the crown after Li Jue's throne was abolished would never have dreamed that it would soon be their turn to cry.
"Lord, the Japanese in Tsushima have been active recently, and it is reported that some Japanese have secretly come to Seoul, and it seems that they are coming for the prince." Subsequently, Yun Na reported another important matter to Li Yuntian.
Since Li Yuntian concluded that Jin Zongrui had been attacked by the Japanese on Tsushima, he had strengthened the collection of information on the Japanese invaders, and he would know about any changes in the Japanese invaders.
"I didn't expect Shanhai Guangxiao to be so bold that he wanted to move this king." Li Yuntian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, the leader of those would-be robbers was Shanhai Guangxiao, so it seemed that Shanhai Guangxiao was worried about driving him from the Daming Sea to Tsushima Island back then.
"Lord Wang, in addition to the mountains and seas, it is a scourge for this person to stay in the world." Yun Na's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and then solemnly proposed.
"They have no fixed place to live, once we send troops to encircle and suppress them, they will definitely flee in the wilderness, and go to Kyushu Island to seek the protection of the local daimyos, and we will only end up empty."
Li Yuntian shook his head when he heard this, the Japanese Kingdom was in a critical period of civil war, he didn't want to do anything that would disturb this big melee, besides, Shan Hai Guangxiao and the Daimyo of Kyushu Island had been eye-catching for a long time, and it was not easy to catch him.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates feel that this time Shanhai Guangxiao sent the Japanese to sneak into Seoul secretly, it is likely to be related to Chen Guangzong, as long as you keep an eye on Shanhai Guangxiao, you can find the disappeared Chen Guangzong." Yun Na had another thing in mind, and after hearing this, she said with a deep groan.
Chen Guangzong has disappeared since the last sneak attack on Liu Yuntian and fled back to the Wa Kingdom in embarrassment, although the envoy of the Wa State brought a head that claimed to be Chen Guangzong's head, but Li Yuntian knew very well that Chen Guangzong would definitely not die like this.
If Li Yuntian didn't guess wrong, with Chen Guangzong's ability, he must have thought of a way out before sending someone to attack him, and now he continues to live in the Wa Kingdom in another capacity, but it is not easy to find him, and it is obvious that he has made a thorough disguise.
Therefore, if you follow the line of Shanhai Guangxiao, it is very likely to find out Chen Guangzong, from the last time Shanhai Guangxiao was willing to send a Japanese Kou to Daming to attack Li Yuntian, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is very close, maybe Chen Guangzong has hooked up with Shanhai Guangxiao when he was a Japanese Kou.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you." Li Yuntian nodded and said to Yun Na with a smile, he was very pleased that Yun Na could think of this, Yun Na was gradually transforming into a qualified assistant after grinding in the Korean country.
"Don't worry, your subordinates will handle this matter well." Yun Na couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and nodded vigorously to Li Yuntian, this is the first time that Li Yuntian has asked her to be in charge of a matter alone, which means that Li Yuntian has recognized her, so she is now nervous and excited, not only happy with Li Yuntian's recognition, but also worried that she will not be able to do this well, then it will be embarrassing.
After Yun Na left, Li Yuntian stretched his waist and walked to the bedside, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, the overall situation of the Korean State will be calmed down after the arrival of those Gyeongbokgung Palace survivors, but his troubles are still increasing, in addition to the matter of conquest of the Japanese State in the future, the battle between the civil official group and the eunuchs in the capital is becoming more and more intense, which also involves a lot of his energy.
"I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope Hai Boping is flat!" Inadvertently, Li Yuntian thought of a famous sentence left by Qi Jiguang, and couldn't help but chant slowly in his mouth, if he wasn't forced by the situation, he wouldn't have unexpectedly become the commander in charge of the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty from a civilian official from a jinshi.
