The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 57

Zhu Xi stared blankly at the fragments of the jade pendant on the ground for a long while, and only came back to his senses when the second concubine Deng Shi shouted.

"It's over, it's over."

He muttered in his mouth.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? It's just a jade pendant."

Deng Shi said, then carefully looked at the jade pendant on the ground, and said with disdain: "It's not such a valuable thing."

Deng, who was born in a noble family, still has a certain appreciation ability.

This jade pendant looks exquisite, but it is not rare, and it has nothing to do with its high value.

You can buy it for a dozen taels of silver.

And because of this,
Only when Mrs. Deng smashed it into pieces, a dozen or so taels were delivered. This is not an insult, but something.

While Deng Shi was speaking, Zhu Xun had already squatted down, took out a gold silk handkerchief from his bosom, and carefully collected the fragments one by one.

The more you touch, the colder Zhu Xi's heart becomes.

Seeing King Qin's abnormal behavior, Deng couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

"Master, there is something special about this jade pendant."

No matter how stupid she was, seeing King Qin's gaffe, Deng also understood that breaking the jade pendant seemed to be a big mistake.

"This was a gift from the queen mother to the father when the father got married. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the father has always carried it with him and never left his body."

Zhu Xi's tone trembled with a trace of fear.

At this moment, his mind is already blank.

Hearing this, Mrs. Deng seemed to be hit by a thunderbolt, and then hurriedly pulled Zhu Xi who was squatting and said in a hurry:
"Master, you can't ignore the concubine's body. The concubine's body was not intentional. I just thought it was sent by the teahouse. I didn't think too much about it."

"Yes, it's the tea house. How could they have anything to do with His Majesty, and they can bring His Majesty's jade pendant here, maybe they stole it."

"These thieves should be arrested immediately and interrogated strictly to find out where they stole His Majesty's jade pendant from."

Deng's mind raced rapidly, thinking of various ways.

"Perhaps, sir, we can have someone carve a similar jade pendant according to the style of this jade pendant. I think His Majesty may not be able to see it."

However, facing his usual concubine, Zhu Xi didn't say a word at this time.

He just picked up all the pieces of the jade pendant, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and put them in his arms.

"Master, you can't leave my concubine alone."

Deng couldn't get a response, so he pulled Zhu Xi and said anxiously.

Zhu Xi turned his head and said bitterly: "Brother has already gone, we were punished by the emperor, and we are like being confined in the capital."

"This jade pendant is extremely important to my father. After my mother died, it was my father's only thought."

"How can you change the things that are in your hands day and night without knowing it? Don't commit the crime of deceiving the emperor again, and wait for how the father will punish you."

After Zhu Xi said this, he didn't continue to talk.

When Deng heard this, her face was ashen, her whole body began to tremble as her throat rolled.

At this moment, a servant quickly came over to report: "Your Highness, there are Jin Yiwei who have come to read your Majesty's oral order."

"Please come in." Zhu Xi was startled when he heard the words, and then said.

"My lord, I beg you, I have served my concubine for many years, please save my concubine." Mrs. Deng begged, tugging at Zhu Xi's sleeve.

She already knew how serious the consequences of this matter would be.

Zhu Xi wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to say it.

With a flash of inspiration, Deng pointed to the old housekeeper and said, "Master, this jade pendant was obviously broken by him, and he accidentally broke it."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Deng glared at the old housekeeper, and shouted sharply: "Let me ask you, yes or no."

"If you agree, I will protect your family's prosperity and wealth."

After the big stick, Mrs. Deng gave another sweet date.

The old butler was a little panicked when he heard the words, but he reacted immediately. After hesitating for a moment, he knelt down and said in a mournful voice:
"This jade pendant was clearly broken by an old slave accidentally, and has nothing to do with His Royal Highness and Princess Consort."

Hearing this, Zhu Xi turned to look at Deng's beautiful face, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

Then he said: "If this king is here, your descendants will be rich and have no worries."

"The old slave thanked His Highness."

The old housekeeper kowtowed and said.

At this time, Jin Yiwei had already arrived.

"Your Majesty ordered, Xuan Qin Wang Zhu Xi, immediately enter the palace to face the saint."

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, in Zhu Ying's yard.

In the study, Zhu Ying was checking information from various places, while Zhang Bohou stood aside.

Information from all over the place will be fed back to Zhu Ying as soon as possible.

Although due to the summons, there will be some time difference.

However, Zhu Ying, who has the memory of his previous life, can still recall some major events in history through the content of some intelligence.

At this moment, Zhu Ying is finding information related to Goryeo.

According to the information above, Li Chenggui of Korea has arranged for envoys to come and is on his way to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

"Li Chenggui, what's the situation now?"

Zhu Ying asked casually, Zhang Bo was mainly responsible for many details, and it was impossible for him to stare at the information every day to understand.

"Koryo has been fully controlled by Li Chenggui. He overshadows the sky in Koryo with one hand. Many ministers have asked for the throne many times. This time, he should be preparing to found a country and want to win the support of Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Ying nodded, and then asked, "How are our people doing now?"

"Because of Conglong's work, Li Chenggui has great trust in our people, and our people are in charge of the current Koryo Palace."

"In terms of military positions, there are three of us on our side, serving as the Koryo Imperial Palace Guard Envoy, Military and Horse Jiedu Envoy, and Navy Command Envoy."

"As for civil servants, there are two people from the second rank, three from the second rank, and the remaining 13 people."

Zhang Bo's detailed report.

Hearing this data, Zhu Ying nodded in satisfaction.

As early as the 18th year of Hongwu, when Li Chenggui was still the commander-in-chief, Zhu Ying sent hundreds of people to join him.

These hundreds of people are all Koreans. After Zhu Ying's training and training, some of them are elite soldiers and some civil servants.

Under Zhu Ying's practice of using the training methods of later generations, there is still enough meat supply.

The vigor and spirit of these elite soldiers are completely different from the Goryeo soldiers at that time.

Li Chenggui is not wary of him at all, after all, he is a native of Korea.

Zhu Ying, who knows the trajectory of history.

Hongwu 21 years.

The Xinrui faction sent Li Chenggui to cross the Yalu River to the north to attack Liaodong.

After Li Chenggui crossed the Yalu River, he found it difficult to march, poor food and salaries, and low morale.

Instigated by the generals arranged by Zhu Ying, he returned to Songjing, deposed Xin Rui, and exiled Cui Ying.After that, Li Chenggui made Xinchang, the son of Xinrui, king, and then abolished it, and replaced him with Wang Yao (King Gongrang), the clan of Goryeo.

Mastering the merits of Conglong, Zhu Ying's dark sons occupy high positions.

In addition, Li Chenggui ruled the country with Confucianism, and Confucianism replaced Buddhism as the ruling concept of the country.

Very preferential treatment is given to the scholars of Ming Dynasty.

With such convenience, Zhu Ying arranged for the talents he cultivated to go to Korea.

It can be said that nearly one-third of the courtiers in today's Goryeo court are the dark sons of the Zhu Ying faction in the past.

In terms of the army, Zhu Ying arranged for courtiers to put forward suggestions and implement a system of separation of soldiers and generals, with no designated generals and no designated soldiers.

As a result, a large number of middle- and lower-level military officers in Goryeo were infiltrated by Zhu Ying's personnel.

If it weren't for Zhuying, she would not be interested in Goryeo.

Perhaps the founding king now has nothing to do with Li Chenggui.
