Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.
"There's no need to rush this matter right now." Zhang Yu put down his teacup and said, "After all, the people and the things haven't arrived yet. Once they do, the result will naturally come."
There will be no results by waiting, but the work behind the scenes must be done.
Zhang Yu believed that as long as Song Xiang did well, this side would feel a lot of pressure. And as long as he left the palace now, once the news spread, someone would take the initiative to contact him.
Apart from anything else, the elders were already restless. If Queen Inmok could recover, the elders would have a chance to turn things around. But they needed support besides Queen Inmok; after all, one queen wasn't enough. Who better than Daming?
The veteran faction will definitely come looking for us.
"Yes." Li Zong nodded awkwardly and said, "Then let's wait until everyone and everything arrives before we talk about it."
"If there is nothing else, I'll take my leave." Zhang Yu stood up and said with a slight bow.
"Send the envoy for me!" The King of Korea said to Zhang Shunyao.
Although he was very dissatisfied with this minister, Li Zong also knew that he had to remain calm at this time. If he lost his composure, it would be easy for something to go wrong.
After leaving the Joseon palace, Zhang Yu smiled and bowed to Zhang Shunyao, saying, "Master Zhang is a young talent from Joseon. We are of similar age, so I believe we will have a lot to talk about."
"This time, we will have to divide up a lot of territory when we attack Japan, and I don't know much about the customs and people of Japan. If there is a chance, Master Zhang, please enlighten me and we can have a good chat in private."
After hearing this, Zhang Shunyao's pupils shrank.
He certainly understood that this was Zhang Yu's goodwill gesture, using the victory after the war against Japan. This was to tell him that if they won the war against Japan, there would be a lot of territory to be divided, and part of it would belong to Korea. However, the final decision on how to divide it would still be up to the Ming Dynasty.
What a big piece of cake, what a lot of benefits! How could Zhang Shunyao not be tempted?
Even if he is not tempted, his party is.
Zhang Shunyao quickly said, "It is my honor to be able to communicate with Master Zhang. This matter is not a problem. I will find time to visit you at the post station in the next few days. I hope you will be able to give me some advice then."
"Okay, okay." Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for you, Master Zhang. Goodbye."
"Send the envoy." Zhang Shunyao said with a smile.
After getting on the carriage, the smile on Zhang Yu's face slowly faded.
The carriage started to move slowly, and Zhang Yu fell into deep thought.
Not far away, Zhang Yu saw Song Xiang's carriage.
It was obvious that Song Xiang had been waiting for Zhang Yu here.
After a brief pause, Song Xiang got on Zhang Yu's carriage.
Glancing at Zhang Yu, Song Xiang asked, "How's it going? Is everything going well?"
"What's wrong with that?" Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Do they have the right to refuse? Do they have the courage to refuse? They have nothing, how can they refuse?"
"Why do I like the way you brag so much?" Song Xiang said to Zhang Yu with a blank look.
"This is not an exaggeration." Zhang Yu also smiled and said, "This is the confidence of the Ming Dynasty. Because of this confidence, we dare to say such words."
"The reason why the famous Tang Jian Wang Xuan Ce was able to accomplish such shocking things in history was because he had a powerful country behind him. The same is true for me. No matter how far I can go, it is because of the Ming Dynasty. Wherever the sun and the moon shine, it is the Ming Dynasty."
Song Xiang looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Your dream?"
"No. That's what His Majesty said." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "When His Majesty was chatting with us, His Majesty once said this: Wherever there are mountains and rivers, they are all Han territory; wherever the sun and moon shine, they are all Ming."
"Your Majesty also told us that a strong youth makes a strong nation. Let us study hard, and sooner or later we will be able to realize this dream. For so many years, Your Majesty has been working hard, and I have watched the Ming Dynasty grow stronger step by step."
"Having reached this point today, we can finally fulfill our promise and realize this dream step by step. So, regarding this North Korea issue, no matter what means we use, we must succeed and not fail."
"Korea and Japan are the new territories of the Ming Dynasty!"
