After hearing this, Zhang Yu showed a bitter smile on his face.

Glancing at the King of Korea, Zhang Yu said, "This matter is just some rumors, and it is just some rumors in the Ming Dynasty. I don't know the specific truth."

The King of Korea's eyes narrowed immediately.

Who is Zhang Yu?

He is an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, representing the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his words are not to be spoken casually.

If he said it was a rumor, then it must be true. It's just that he has no evidence, and even if he did, he wouldn't give it to himself.

"I don't know what kind of rumor it is." Zheng Xuhong asked again.

Zhang Yu glanced at Zheng Xuhong helplessly and said, "These rumors can't be taken seriously. Sir Zhang, please stop asking so many questions."

Zheng Xuhong did not retreat. She took a step forward and said again, "Master Zhang, please tell me the truth."

The King of Korea, who was sitting there, looked at Zheng Xuhong with admiration and felt even more satisfied with her.

He had to be a trusted minister, someone who would always be at the forefront of such matters. If it were someone else, how could they have such courage? They wouldn't risk their lives for him.

Zhang Yu sighed helplessly and said, "If that's the case, then I'll tell you the truth. There are indeed rumors in the Ming Dynasty that someone in Korea has spent a lot of money and commissioned many people, hoping that the Korean crown prince can stay in the Ming Dynasty. I don't know the specific details of the situation or what kind of benefits they offered. I also don't know whether their words have any effect."

This is obviously an excuse. The person hasn't come back yet and is still staying there, so it still doesn't work?

"Your Majesty has treacherous ministers around him!" The King of Korea could not help but blurt out,

Zhang Yu took a step forward, his face instantly darkening. He said, "Your Majesty is quite cautious with your words. What happens to His Majesty is not something you can discuss here."

As soon as these words came out, the hall instantly became quiet.

The King of Korea realized something was wrong the moment he said this. Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, he quickly said, "It was my fault. Please don't blame me, Master Zhang. I was just in a hurry."

"I understand." Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I just don't know what happened to make the king act like this? If the king trusts me, please tell me the truth."

The King of Korea glanced at Zheng Xuhong and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him nod.

"I wonder what the Ming Dynasty's attitude is towards Korea?" The King of Korea looked at Zhang Yu and asked in a deep voice.

"Isn't the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards Korea obvious?" Zhang Yu spread his hands and said, "After all these years, how has the Ming Dynasty treated Korea? Don't the people of Korea know what's going on?"

"In recent years, some people have engaged in illegal business, causing great harm to Korea. However, after His Majesty learned of this, he has been helping. Even when the Ming Dynasty attacked Japan, Korea was included, with the sole purpose of restoring Korea's national strength. Could it be that Korea still has some dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty?"

The Khan of the Korean King has come down.

These words are really too harsh.

"No, no, North Korea absolutely has no such intentions," the King of Korea said quickly. "It's just that this matter is too big. Someone is colluding with the Ming Dynasty, and I am unsure. I really don't know what the Ming Dynasty will ultimately choose, and I don't feel confident."

Zhang Yu smiled wryly and said, "What exactly is this matter? Please tell me, Your Majesty."

The King of Korea glanced at Zheng Xuhong.

The meaning is very clear: It's your turn again, and I am not in a position to speak.

Zheng Xuhong said, "I have some clues about the recent case in Seoul. It involves several people, even those from the Ming Dynasty. That's why the king asked this question. I also want to ask if Lord Zhang's words can truly represent the attitude of the Ming Dynasty? Can they truly represent the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Of course." Zhang Yu nodded solemnly and said, "I am an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, carrying out the imperial decree of the Ming Emperor. My words naturally reflect the attitude of the Ming Dynasty and naturally represent the will of the Ming Emperor. Lord Zheng, if you have anything to say, please feel free to speak up."

"If that's the case, that's good." Zheng Xuhong nodded and said, "This time, we found someone colluding with the Ming Dynasty and wanted to keep the prince in the Ming Dynasty with the intention of usurping the throne."

"But one of the king's princes?" Zhang Yu looked at Zheng Yuhong and asked.

"Why do you say that, Lord Zhang?" Zheng Xuhong asked.

"Isn't this simple?" Zhang Yu spread his hands and said, "Some people don't want the Crown Prince to return. Only if the Crown Prince doesn't return can he legitimately usurp the throne. So, apart from the King's other sons, there can't be anyone else. Furthermore, the King's concern about who the Ming Dynasty will support proves this point."

"Master Zhang is very perceptive." Zheng Xuhong nodded and said, "That's right."

"Then I understand." Zhang Yu said with a look of sudden realization, "A descendant of a certain king in Korea has colluded with unscrupulous merchants in the Ming Dynasty and left the crown prince in the Ming Dynasty. He intends to seize power and usurp the throne in Korea, or perhaps wait until the king's death, and then take the throne of Korea. The king is worried that the Ming Dynasty will support this traitor."

"I can clearly tell you, Your Majesty, that the Ming Dynasty will never support traitors. Your Majesty is the King of Korea, a king enthroned by the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will never go back on its word, nor will it support traitors. Your Majesty, rest assured. This is my position, the Ming Dynasty's, and even more so, Your Majesty's."

After hearing this, the King of Korea immediately smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Zhang Yu came, he and Zheng Xuhong had actually discussed it. This time the main goal was to win the support of the Ming Dynasty.
