With the domestic situation so complicated, King Lee Jong-hee of Joseon did not have much actual power. Although many people supported him in the years after he ascended the throne, they also supported him for their own benefit.
Without power or money, Li Zong could not accomplish what he wanted to do. The reason why everyone was afraid to replace Li Zong was largely because the Ming Dynasty was supporting him from behind.
This time, Li Zong came to Liaodong in the hope that the Ming Dynasty would continue to support him and gain some benefits from it. On the one hand, he wanted to appease the people at home, and on the other hand, he wanted to avoid angering the Ming Dynasty.
But judging from the current situation, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has many more ideas than himself.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Zong's sad face and said indifferently, "Then teach them a lesson."
Zhu Youxiao said this as if it was a matter of course, which made Li Zong next to him a little stunned.
Is this what the Ming Dynasty is like now? So tough, is it going to teach Japan a lesson directly?
That battle was very difficult to fight back then. Could it be that the fighting power of the Ming Dynasty was no longer comparable?
Thinking of the combat effectiveness displayed by the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong this time, Li Zong still had confidence in his heart, but this confidence was not strong enough.
He was still a little worried. If he won, it goes without saying that he would get a lot of benefits; but if he lost, the Ming Dynasty would just walk away, leaving him alone to face Japan, which would be a difficult matter.
If things go wrong, there might be another Imjin War. What should I do then, when I am isolated and helpless?
Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Zong who looked hesitant and sighed helplessly.
Look, look, that's it?
We should let them see the military strength of the Ming Dynasty after the military demonstration, and then talk. Otherwise, there will be nothing to talk about.
However, if he did not meet the King of Joseon, Li Zong, before the martial arts performance, Li Zong felt that it was not important enough.
It's so annoying.
Zhu Youxiao slowly withdrew his gaze and decided not to discuss this matter with Li Zong anymore.
He is really a useless piece of trash, so just ignore him.
Although I know what Li Zong is worried about, but you actually have never known anything about the Ming Dynasty before?
Even if you don't understand, you should understand it now after watching this battle, right?
I still don't understand it now, but I should have some idea about Japan's recklessness, right?
This kind of thinking without any idea, pretending to be stupid here, is simply the most stupid behavior. Aren't you afraid that after the Ming Dynasty has dealt with the Jurchens, they will also deal with you?
"Come here, give us a banquet." Zhu Youxiao stood up and said to Wei Chao beside him.
Since there is no need to talk about it anymore, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s just eat quickly.
If you have anything to say, let’s talk about it after dinner, or just get out of here right after dinner. There’s nothing more to say.
Before the performance of Wu Xianfu, I did nothing but watched quietly.
Li Zong was a bit panicked. He hadn't expected that after a little hesitation, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would actually ignore him and ask for food. This meant that the next step had been entered, which was not good news.
He stood up anxiously, wanting to say something.
But Wei Chao came forward, stopped Li Zong directly, and made a gesture of invitation.
Wei Chao said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, the seat here has been arranged for you. It's very good here."
Li Zong glanced at Wei Chao.
What the hell is this place so good? Why is this place so good?
Wei Chao was unmoved and didn't care about Li Zong's look at all.
On the territory of the Ming Dynasty, you are not allowed to show off your power. If the Ming Dynasty cares about you, you are the King of Korea; if the Ming Dynasty does not care about you, you are a king who has lost his country.
Li Zong had no choice but to watch Zhu Youxiao walk away, and then was brought to his position by Wei Chao.
Li Zong was just about to talk to Wei Chao when Wei Chao turned around and left.
Wei Chao simply pretended not to see it.
The emperor doesn't want to pay attention to you, so naturally I won't talk to you. Only a fool would pay attention to you.
In Wei Chao's heart, King Li Zong of Joseon was a foolish man. Such a person should be kept away from. If he got too close, he would probably be implicated.
Wei Chao turned around and went to arrange the next banquet.
In reality, the banquet had already been arranged. After the instructions were given, people filed in and brought all the dishes. The band was also ready and began playing.
There are also dancers. Although you can't find the best dancers in Liaodong, let alone those in Jiangnan, there are still some ordinary ones.
Although Zhu Youxiao did not bring any women with him on this trip, he could have used men to dance, but the atmosphere would have been less lively.
After Zhu Youxiao sat down, the wine and food were served.
After drinking a glass of wine with King Lee Jong of Korea, he started eating and ignored Lee Jong.
The dishes cooked by the chef today tasted good, which made Zhu Youxiao very satisfied.
In front of Zhu Youxiao, there was a roasted leg of lamb. It was obvious that both the craftsmanship and the lamb were excellent.
Zhu Youxiao was eating the leg of lamb with great concentration.
With a small knife in hand, you can cut and eat the food yourself, with both dry and liquid ingredients available.
Beside Zhu Youxiao, someone was kneeling and the charcoal fire had already been set up.
If the emperor's food was cold, they would heat it up. It can be said that the service was very thoughtful. At the same time, they also prepared a variety of other things.
The drink was naturally beer, a recent creation of the Imperial Household Department. The one given to Zhu Youxiao was, of course, the finest of the finest beers, incredibly good.
