Liu Xian looked at his own emperor and did not raise the question again because he felt that there was no need to continue. His own emperor was already so domineering, so what else could he say?
Since Your Majesty has such an idea, I should go and complete it for Your Majesty.
Liu Xian believed that as long as the Koreans dared to go back on their word, the Ming people would make them understand what price they would have to pay for going back on their word.
Now the Royal Navy was already howling and ready to start a war. After all, fighting Japan and Korea was the same, so why not fight?
In this situation, what else can Liu Xian say?
Liu Xian took a step forward, smiled earnestly, and agreed, "Your Majesty is right. I think the same."
Wei Chao, who was standing not far away, glanced at Liu Xian calmly, turned his head silently and continued to look forward, but he was complaining in his heart.
Are you sure you just thought that?
Why don’t we believe it?
Wei Chao once thought that eunuchs like him had no moral integrity and were good at flattering the emperor, but now compared to these scholars, he was far behind. Once they did such things, he was no match for them.
Liu Xian didn't even look at Wei Chao, and he didn't know what the old eunuch was thinking. Anyway, this is what he thought, and no matter what others said, it was useless, so there was no need to say anything.
Zhu Youxiao listened to Liu Xian's words but didn't care. What his ministers thought was not important.
You can control the sky if it rains and the girl if she wants to get married, but you can’t control what other people think.
Zhu Youxiao never thought about how to manage this matter, as long as they did what they wanted. Obviously, Liu Xian was more experienced in this regard.
The two didn't have to wait long before Li Xi was brought in from outside.
At this time, the Korean prince had regained his previous composure and had recovered from the shock brought to him by the exercise.
Li Xi looked at Zhu Youxiao calmly and said respectfully, "Your Majesty."
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand gently and said with a smile, "No need to be polite."
He turned to look at Wei Chao and ordered, "Please sit down."
After Li Xi sat down, Zhu Youxiao said seriously, "I called you here because I have something to discuss with you. It's about the Ming Dynasty and Korea jointly attacking Japan."
After hearing this, Li Xi also became serious.
Li Yi was very clear that the purpose of coming here to meet the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was actually to discuss this matter.
When he left Korea, his father had already explained this matter to him. But Li Xi knew better that his father had no opinion on this matter, and it was not his father who had the final say on matters of family and country.
The most important thing is that if he agreed to something with the Ming Dynasty here, the result after returning to China would be uncertain, and there might even be conflicts.
When Li Xi heard what Zhu Youxiao said, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and his heart was beating fast.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Li Xi, and his expression did not change.
For the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, there was no need to care about these things. Zhu Youxiao continued, "I have already discussed this matter with your father, and both sides have agreed. This time you are here just to discuss the specifics."
"Your Majesty, please give your instructions." Li Xi said hurriedly.
"It's actually very simple. The specific direction and strategy of the battle still need to be discussed by the generals of both sides. I will not interfere too much in this matter. So I don't want to discuss this matter with you."
"What I want to say is another thing, that is, after the Ming Dynasty sends troops, I hope you can provide food and fodder." Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly.
Although it is a discussion, you can tell from the expression and tone that it is not a discussion with you at all.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao was very angry about this matter.
Originally, during the Wanli Emperor's three major expeditions, the Ming army supported Korea with grain. However, when the Koreans came to power, the Koreans actually claimed that the Ming consumed a lot of Korean grain during their expedition, bringing disaster to Korea.
Only such a shameless country can say such nonsense.
If the Ming Dynasty hadn't come to your aid, you would have been destroyed. I sent troops to help you, but there was no benefit. I only received a small amount of food for our soldiers, and we sacrificed so many people. How can you still say such a fart?
This not only made Zhu Youxiao think of the situation at the time, the Lighthouse Country garrison wanted money, I protect you, you have to pay. Not only do you have to give food, but you also have to give military equipment, and you have to buy my equipment.
Anyway, Zhu Youxiao felt that it was okay for him to do so.
The reason is very simple, I am very strong now.
You have to agree whether you agree or not.
Anyone jumping around will be killed immediately.
Li Xi's face looked a little ugly.
Korea didn't produce much grain to begin with, and supplying it to the Ming army at this time would be a huge expense. Even if the war was won, the benefits Korea would receive were still unknown.
It would be very difficult to get a share of the profits from the Ming Dynasty. If you spent so much money and sent so many people, and then got nothing in return, it would be a difficult matter.
Li Xi quickly said, "Your Majesty, this matter is likely to be difficult. Although North Korea is willing to do this, it is truly unable to do so. If we really run out of food when the two sides go to war, it will be a problem and will affect the entire war. Your Majesty, please understand."
Li Xi's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but his point was that North Korea did not have that much food.
