Eager to pacify Liao?! Zhang Keda was somewhat puzzled by this comment. He only saw the surface phenomenon, and had no idea that Zhu Youxiao had already informed Teacher Yuan of the goal of pacifying Liao within five years.

Yuan Keli bowed towards the capital and said, "I will report this to Your Majesty and ask you to criticize him honestly and offer to help suppress the rebellion. This way, Your Majesty will not be embarrassed."

Yuan Keli believed that the court was in turmoil and the emperor was hesitant to make a decision. If he gave in, the emperor would be in a better position and would most likely recognize Li Zong's legitimacy in order to quickly pacify the Liao Dynasty.

With a wry smile, Yuan Keli stood up and said, "I will go and write a memorial and submit it to the emperor before the Korean envoy arrives in Beijing."

Zhang Keda bowed and saw him off. When they reached the entrance of the hall, he asked again, "The two associations have been waiting for orders for a long time. I wonder when they will be deployed?"

Yuan Keli stopped, pondered for a moment, and said, "This is the emperor's order. You must wait patiently."

Zhang Keda was startled and quickly agreed, "As you command."

Zhang Keda was puzzled by the fact that the two groups of soldiers were ready to go at any time, but when he heard that it was an imperial order, he did not dare to ask any more questions.

……………….

The change of the Korean ruler was originally an internal affair of the country, but it had to go to China to explain and lobby in order to gain recognition from the Ming Dynasty. From Zhu Youxiao's point of view, it was already very difficult.

Just as the Korean delegation left Dengzhou and headed for the capital, the secret memorials of Mao Wenlong and Gou Zhenhuai were delivered to Zhu Youxiao's desk.

Mao Wenlong and Gou Zhenhuai considered it a serious problem, while civil servants such as Yuan Keli considered it a matter of major ethical standards. However, Zhu Youxiao did not care much about it.

From a pragmatic perspective, pacifying Liaoning is the first and most important goal. As long as it helps achieve this goal as quickly as possible, why bother arguing with other countries' internal affairs?

Of course, in order to take advantage of this opportunity, North Korea could be turned into a loyal brother and a reliable link in the blockade and siege of the Qing army. On the surface, it was necessary to make it appear that the court was in a state of confusion and difficulty in making a decision.

Yuan Keli's righteous words were more conducive to achieving Zhu Youxiao's goal. One played the good cop, the other played the bad cop, and without any discussion, the teacher and student naturally put on a good show.
