Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Corrupt Emperor

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.

Chapter 654: Sun Chuanting also arrived in Korea

"We have also brought equipment, and we will select and arm a Korean army. This time, apart from a small number of us, the rest of the army will be Koreans. We will name it the Korean Expeditionary Force, and we will go on an expedition to Japan. Lord Sun is the commander of this expeditionary force, and he has come here to discuss this matter with the King of Korea."

Sun Chuanting nodded, took out a letter from his bosom and said, "This is a secret letter from His Majesty. Please read it yourself."

Zhang Yu did not take it immediately, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully, then respectfully held the letter with both hands.

After opening the letter and quickly reading it, Zhang Yu's eyes turned red.

The content of the letter was very simple, not even very long. Zhu Youxiao only gave a very brief reply:

Do your job well, and I will take care of you if anything goes wrong.

Just with this one sentence, Zhang Yu felt like tears welling up in his eyes.

This is what it means to die for your friend.

After refolding the letter and carefully putting it back, Zhang Yu looked at Sun Chuanting and the others and said with a smile, "Excuse me, everyone. I've been in Korea for a long time, and I'm so happy to see you."

No one exposed him and they all laughed together.

"Everyone, please take a seat. Let's sit down and talk." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"We can chat, but before that, you should prepare some food for us. We haven't eaten properly on the way here, and we haven't had breakfast yet. We are so hungry." Cao Wenzhao said on the side.

"Okay, okay, no problem." Zhang Yu nodded in agreement.

Without waiting for Zhang Yu's instructions, Song Xiang stood up and asked to prepare the meal.

Soon, the things were delivered.

Although they are all very simple meals, they are hot and served quickly.

After everyone had a hearty meal, the leftovers were cleared away and tea was served, creating an atmosphere for conversation.

Sitting on the chair, Cao Wenzhao took a sip of warm tea and said comfortably, "This is more like it."

"Let's get down to business." Sun Chuanting looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Tell us your plan first, and then we can discuss how to do it specifically. We can also give you some advice."

Zhang Yu nodded and repeated his plan.

After listening to Zhang Yu's story, Cao Wenzhao gave him a thumbs-up and said, "It couldn't be you. Only you could have come up with such a sinister and treacherous scheme."

Zhang Yu didn't care. They were classmates and were used to talking like this.

Zhang Yu turned and looked at Sun Chuanting.

The one who makes the decision here is Sun Chuanting. If he agrees, then things will be easier; if he feels it is inappropriate and wants to change it, then there will be trouble.

Sun Chuanting thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up and saw Zhang Yu looking at him. He immediately understood and said, "Master Zhang, don't overthink it. His Majesty has entrusted this matter to you, so we'll follow your plan. I was originally thinking about whether I could be of any assistance, but Master Zhang's plan was so perfect, so I won't try to be presumptuous. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll definitely help."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "In that case, thank you very much, Marshal Sun."

"According to my plan, we must first win over a man named Park Jung-yang, a very special figure among the North Korean elders. He's not old enough, and doesn't have much experience, but he's power-hungry and ambitious, as well as greedy and lustful. I want to exploit his weaknesses in these areas and try to win him over."

"People like this are easy to deal with." Wu Xiang said on the side: "Isn't there a fat man named Chen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Let him handle this matter. I guarantee that there will be news within three days. There will be no mistakes."

Zhang Yu turned to look at Song Xiang, waiting for her to provide information.

Song Xiang did not disappoint Zhang Yu and said directly, "Fatty Chen, whose real name is Chen Facai, was originally a casino and brothel owner in the Jiangnan area. He was later recruited by the Imperial Household Department and sent to Korea."

"Fatty Chen's current business is reselling Korean people to the Ming Dynasty. The Korean maids he trained are extremely popular in the Ming Dynasty. As soon as the dignitaries heard that Korean maids were being shipped there, they all scrambled to get them. A few years ago, a stunning maid was sold for a high price of 12,000 taels of silver. General Cao Wenzhao once bought a Korean maid for 3,200 taels of silver."
