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 682: Ming Dynasty Pressure (Happy Valentine's Day! No way!)

She's already here, and if you drive her away, it would only make things worse.

Old Prince Fu could only listen quietly, hoping that Zhang Yu would not say anything he shouldn't.

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Originally, this has nothing to do with us, and it's an internal matter of North Korea, so we shouldn't get involved. But some things involve us, and we have no choice but to get involved."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Old Prince Fu looked up at Zhang Yu and asked with some confusion.

Old Prince Fu didn't care much about the North Korean issue. However, the situation had become so serious these days, with so much noise going on outside, that it wasn't a question of whether he cared or not. He'd heard about it more or less.

Old Prince Fu didn't know what these things had to do with the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty didn't seem to have any interests involved, and North Korea didn't dare to do anything to the Ming people.

Let them do whatever they want, who dares to do anything to the Ming Dynasty?

"These people are collaborating with the Japanese." Zhang Yu looked at the old Prince Fu and said with some helplessness, "I'm sure the old Prince Fu knows something about this. What is the crime of collaborating with the Japanese in the Ming Dynasty?"

"It's a crime of confiscation of property and extermination of the clan." The old Prince Fu pondered for a moment and said, "But they are Koreans after all, not our Ming people. If we interfere, wouldn't it be bad?"

"That's not the case." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Under normal circumstances, we really shouldn't intervene. North Korea is indeed doing something."

"But right now, the Ming Dynasty is at war with Japan, and the Korean army is also there, but they're also quite anxious. The General Staff sent a message today saying they're worried that people in Korea who are collaborating with Japan might pass on information and contact the Korean army, which might lead to something happening."

"The General Staff wants us to tell the King of Korea to investigate the case as quickly as possible and apprehend anyone colluding with the Japanese. Most importantly, they need to find out if they've leaked military intelligence, especially information about the Ming Dynasty. The old prince should be aware of this; it's crucial."

After hearing this, Prince Fu's expression became serious.

This is indeed very important. If someone here is collaborating with the Japanese and leaking information about the Ming Dynasty, then this matter is related to the Ming Dynasty. In this matter, the Ming Dynasty must definitely intervene.

"I didn't care about it originally, but it's been so long and the case still hasn't been fully investigated." Zhang Yu sighed helplessly and raised his head. "It seems the King of Korea is facing some difficulties. Why don't you go meet him and explain the Ming Dynasty's attitude to him?"

"Also, if he needs any help, just let him know. We'll do our best to help."

"Indeed." The old Prince Fu nodded and said, "Then I will go to the palace immediately to meet with the King of Korea and explain the matter clearly. At the same time, I will ask them to investigate the case as soon as possible."

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Your Highness." Zhang Yu said quickly.

"Master Zhang, that's too polite. I am, after all, a prince of the Ming Dynasty. It's my duty to do what's best for the Ming Dynasty. Without further ado, I will go now. I cannot accompany Master Zhang."

"Business is more important." Zhang Yu said quickly, "Besides, it was me who invited the prince, so I hope the prince doesn't blame me."

"What are you talking about, Lord Zhang? It is my duty." The old Prince Fu stood up and said seriously.

"Then I will take my leave and go back to wait for news from the prince." Zhang Yu also stood up and bowed to the old Prince Fu, then turned and walked out.

Lao Fu didn't dare to delay and changed his clothes and entered the palace.

After Zhang Yu received the news that Prince Fu had entered the palace, there was a hint of amusement on his face.

Song Xiang, who was standing next to him, felt helpless.

"Why are you showing that expression again?" Song Xiang glared at him and said, "You have a nice face, don't show that expression. The more you look like this, the less you look like a good person."

"Good people?" Zhang Yu said with a self-deprecating laugh, "What is a good person? What is a bad person? We are not good people. Besides, only children distinguish between good and bad. Adults only look at the pros and cons."

Song Xiang rolled her eyes at Zhang Yu and said, "There are always these twisted theories."

Zhang Yu smiled and said nothing.

How can these be fallacies?

This is the fundamental principle of being a human being.

Glancing at Song Xiang, Zhang Yu asked, "Is there any new news?"

"There's no news, but our people saw that the old Prince Fu has entered the Joseon palace. It looks like there will be news soon." Song Xiang shook her head and said, "I'm just worried that something bad might happen to the old Prince Fu."

"No." Zhang Yu shook his head and said firmly, "Although the old Prince Fu is not a good person and is usually very proud, he should understand the priorities of things. He dare not delay the affairs of His Majesty."

"As long as you have confidence." Song Xiang said after thinking for a while.

"Don't worry." Zhang Yu reached out and held her hand, saying with a smile.

The Royal Palace of Korea.

The old Prince Fu, whom Zhang Yu and Song Xiang were talking about, had already been taken in.

Everyone served him carefully and politely, and no one dared to be careless.

After all, the person in front of him is a prince of the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving the news, the King of Korea immediately came out to greet him.

Upon meeting the old Prince Bok, the King of Joseon said politely, "I didn't expect Your Highness to come today. Please come in!"

As the King of Korea spoke, he made a gesture of invitation and invited the old Prince Fu in.

Old Prince Fu followed him in, and the two of them disappeared one after the other.
