Zheng Xuhong's face darkened, and he angrily said, "A bunch of traitors!"

Despite cursing and looking grim, Zheng Xuhong knew that if she were in the situation, she would probably do the same. How could she let go of such a rare opportunity?

"Would you like to see it, sir?" Li Feng asked Zheng Xuhong.

"Let him in." Zheng Xuhong said, "I want to see what they can say."

"Then I'll let them go and greet them." Li Feng nodded and said, "I'll take my leave first."

"Sir, there's no need to be like this." Zheng Xuhong quickly pulled Li Feng aside and said, "Sir, you can listen here with me and give me advice if there's anything you need. I have absolute trust in you."

Li Feng nodded and said, "In that case, I'll listen."

Not long after, a man came in. It was Lin Dechang.

Lin Dechang smiled and bowed to Zheng Xuhong, then said, "Greetings to Mr. Zheng and Mr. Li."

"Do you know Mr. Li?" Zheng Xuhong asked Lin Dechang.

"Mr. Li's name is well-known to everyone. It's been circulating for a long time now. Lord Zheng has a very capable aide who can advise him on everything." Lin Dechang said with a smile, "I've been out there all day, how could I not have heard about it?"

"Sit down and talk." Zheng Xuhong nodded and made a gesture of invitation.

After Lin Dechang sat down, Zheng Xuhong asked, "I wonder what brings you here today?"

"I came here today on the orders of Lord Fenglin." Lin Dechang said with a smile.

This was something Zheng Xuhong and Li Feng had not expected. Wasn't Lin Dechang being too direct in his words?

Although you have a post from Lord Fenglin, and we know that you are here on Lord Fenglin's orders, some things are still not convenient to say.

It's not nice of you to say that.

Lin Dechang seemed unconcerned and continued, "The court is in chaos right now, and there are people outside trying to sow discord. How could Lord Fenglin tolerate the false accusations against a loyal minister like Lord Zheng? This time, the Lord sent me here to help Lord Zheng."

"Where do you come from?" Zheng Xuhong asked with a frown.

"Kim Jong-min and his men are colluding everywhere, and they're planning to find His Royal Highness Prince Bok of the Ming Dynasty and join forces with him. They'll use His Royal Highness Prince Bok of the Ming Dynasty to pressure the King and force him to quickly execute you. They're already prepared to cede some of Korea's interests in Japan to His Royal Highness Prince Bok of the Ming Dynasty."

"This is simply the worst kind of evil!" Zheng Xuhong angrily slammed the table and said, "These people are so bold! How dare they do this?"

Lin Dechang didn't say anything, just watched Zheng Xuhong's performance.

After a while, Zheng Xuhong raised her head and said, "What are you going to say, Your Majesty? If there's anything I can do for North Korea, I'll do anything! Even if it means risking my life, I'll definitely stop them!"

"Your Excellency is so righteous!" Lin Dechang bowed with a serious expression on his face.

"The prince also knows another piece of news. They are planning to collude with His Royal Highness Prince Bok of Ming to establish a new Crown Prince for Joseon. They have already chosen the candidate, and that is the Fourth Crown Prince."

"The Fourth Prince?" Zheng Xuhong said angrily, "The Fourth Prince is only four years old!"

Lin Dechang didn't say anything, but his meaning was clear: "Why did they choose a four-year-old prince? Don't you understand? Isn't it just to control the fourth prince?"

"How dare they do this!" Zheng Xuhong said angrily. "How dare they do this?"

"Why wouldn't they dare?" Lin Dechang sighed and said, "As long as they can hook up with the Ming Dynasty's Prince Fu, this plan might actually succeed. As long as the Crown Prince can't return, North Korea will inevitably have to choose a new one. And the Ming Dynasty's Prince Fu is the uncle of the current Ming Emperor and is deeply trusted. As long as he speaks, this plan is likely to be accomplished. If the Crown Prince can't return and a new one is chosen, what do you think the Ming Dynasty will support?"

This question is self-evident. It must be Kim Jong-min. Whoever they support, Ming will support. Because this is the most beneficial to Ming, or in other words, the most beneficial to the Prince of Fu. Judging from the current situation, a four-year-old king is probably also what the Prince of Fu of Ming would like to see.

Zheng Xuhong's face looked very ugly.

This is digging up his roots! Once this is done, will these people still be alive?

Zheng Xuhong raised her head and said, "We absolutely cannot let them succeed! I wonder what the Great Lord intends to do?"

"I'm sure they'll reach an agreement with His Royal Highness Prince Fu in the next two days. We must rescue the master first. We can't let the king deal with Master Zheng as they wish. Master Zhang Fu is gone. Once they eliminate Master Zheng, who can stop them?"

"Aside from Lord Zhang and Lord Zhang, the only other important officials in the court are Lord Xiao and Lord Qian. Lord Xiao is timid, and as you know, Lord Qian's stance is not that simple. With the support of the Ming Dynasty, they will surely act recklessly."

Zheng Xuhong nodded, thinking that what Lin Dechang said made sense.

He also thought of another possibility: perhaps this whole thing was a conspiracy from the beginning, a conspiracy by the elders. To this end, they killed Park Jung-yang and Park In-yong, framed Zhang Fu, and finally forced Zhang Fu's family to death. It is even possible that they were the ones who killed Zhang Fu. In this way, everything would make sense.

Now they were using Zhang Fu's incident to try to bring me down. If I were to fall, nothing in the court would be able to stop them. With the support of the Ming Dynasty, they would have completely succeeded in seizing power.
