Great Emperor's Grandson of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 167 Chapter 167

"I heard that your honkan (original place) is Jeonju."

"How much do you know about your ancestors?"

After sizing up the single-eyelid man in front of him, Zhu Congxin asked with interest.

Ancestors?

What does it mean?
Li Chenggui was stunned when asked.

He didn't understand Zhu Congxin's intention.

It wasn't until a long time later that he finally thought about it in a self-righteous way and tentatively replied: "I heard from the old people at home that it seems to come from a royal family member of the Tang Dynasty."

This also means putting gold on one's face.

Anyway, there is no way to verify what happened in the world, so he is not worried that he will be exposed.

"Royal clan members? You really dare to say that."

"But you are not wrong about one thing. Your word [Li] does come from the royal family of Li Tang."

"That was about 1000, two hundred years ago."

"The Kingdom of Koryo did not exist at that time."

"And Jeonju is just a territory of Silla Kingdom."

"Your ancestor Li Han, in pursuit of fashion, um, that is, fashion, meaning fashionable, imitated the Queen Kim at that time, and gave himself such a name."

"They, like the Jin family of Silla Kingdom, all thought that as long as they had a Tang Dynasty name, they would be able to escape their status as barbarians."

"Uh, no. To be precise, Jin's surname actually comes from the Han Dynasty."

"But they are much more timid than you Li family. Even if they know the nobility of the Han surname, they would never dare to do anything arrogant."

"Unlike you, you actually dare to give yourself the surname Li without permission. And you also claim to be a descendant of the Tang Emperor."

"If the people of the Li family in the Central Plains knew about this, I don't know how angry they would be."

Zhu Congxin immediately sneered and continued to speak with flashing eyes.

And at the end, his tone finally revealed a little displeasure and sarcasm.

But facing Zhu Congxin's popular science, Li Chenggui relaxed instead.

"His Royal Highness is indeed very knowledgeable! He can even know things that happened more than 1000 years ago. But in my opinion, if the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty knew that he actually had a loyal branch in Silla, he would probably be overjoyed. Angry. Because regardless of bloodline, the respect that our Li family in Quanzhou has for Li Tang is definitely not comparable to that of other Li families."

He quickly and carefully smiled.

This is a truth from the heart.

Because to this day, Li Shimin's tablets are still enshrined in their ancestral halls of the Li family across the state.

"That's true. After all, many times, who we are does not actually depend on what kind of person we can be, but on what kind of person we want to be."

"Just like the Silla Kim clan."

"If they did not absorb the various cultures of the Han Dynasty, they would not be able to form a complete national power."

"As a kingdom that lasted for nearly a thousand years, Silla indeed has a lot to learn from Goryeo!"

"I'm telling you this, you should understand what I mean, right?"

Zhu Congxin chuckled and nodded.

"Understood! Of course I understand!"

"The reason why Silla has been able to last for thousands of years is not only because it has learned the advanced culture of the Han Dynasty, but also because of the care of Li Tang!"

"So if Goryeo wants to survive for a long time, it must not leave the Ming Dynasty's help!"

"No, that's not right! I think that if Goryeo wants to last forever, it's best to become a part of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Only in this way can Goryeo completely get rid of its status as a barbarian!"

Li Chenggui nodded immediately.

It was not until this moment that he finally understood what Zhu Congxin meant.

To put it bluntly, this is actually a beating.The purpose is to let him understand the next direction of Gao Li.

Although for a while, he didn't understand why Zhu Congxin told him these things to a military commander, but generally, he could see some of Zhu Congxin's intention to be important to him.

"He is indeed a smart man. He really knows everything."

"Do it well! The current king of Goryeo is just a foreign minister of my Ming Dynasty."

"Who is qualified to sit in this position is not up to Li Renren, let alone Wang Yu and Cui Ying."

"But I have the final say."

"If you can satisfy me with the next few things, I won't mind letting you be a prince with a different surname for decades."

"Although it cannot be hereditary forever, it is still an opportunity to rejuvenate the family."

Zhu Congxin gave Li Chenggui a rare pat on the head, as if comforting a dog that was wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

And Li Chenggui even felt honored.

"Xin'er, do you want to use this person to control Korea? Is this person trustworthy? He seems to be very cunning?"

After Li Chenggui left, Guanyin Nu couldn't help but frowned slightly.

It seems that he dislikes Li Chenggui very much.

"Being in Korea, if he didn't have this bit of cleverness, he wouldn't be able to get to where he is now."

"Korea is not the Ming Dynasty. The officialdom there is so dark!"

“This person will be an indispensable part if we want to take over and transition the government well.”

Zhu Congxin smiled disapprovingly.

That night.

Kaijing city.

Following the rapid sound of horse hooves, the originally pristine palace suddenly became noisy.

"This Daming County Prince is so presumptuous! A mere County Prince actually wants the King to greet him in person! He simply doesn't take us, Goryeo, seriously."

"He also brought five thousand elite soldiers! In my opinion, he is most likely here to cause trouble!"

"Oh! Go and invite Mr. Li! This letter mentions that Mr. Li should accompany you. It's better to let him make his own decision!"

"Yes, yes! Mr. Li must decide this matter on his own!"

In the dim palace, the ruling ministers headed by Lin Jianwei were talking about it.

They were talking to each other, without even noticing that the expression on the throne of Wang Yu, who was originally livid, had become increasingly gloomy.

【Master Li Fu!Mr. Li Fu!Do you only have Mr. Li Fu in your eyes? 】

[I am still sitting here now!Haven't you ever thought about asking what I mean? 】

He couldn't help shouting in his heart.

The fire flickering in his eyes seemed to want to burn everyone in front of him to ashes.

At this moment, a chamberlain handed over a white note: "Wang, this is the note attached to the letter. I don't know what to do with it."

Wang Yu immediately wanted to tear it into pieces.

However, after feeling the material of this note, he finally gave up this plan.

Because he simply couldn't find an identical note in the attachment.

If he really tore up this note and was discovered by that hateful child, he would become the sinner of the entire Goryeo.

"Did the letter say what to do with the note?"

After a long time, he took a long breath and asked helplessly.

"No. But the soldier who delivered the letter said that he wants you to write Mr. Li's name on it." The eunuch replied.

Upon hearing this, the officials who were noisy all looked over curiously.
