The capital of the Ming Dynasty was in a bustling state. Some people were panicking, some were excited, and so on.
The same was true in Seoul, North Korea at this time. Some people were panicked, some were happy, and it was equally bustling.
The news that a new envoy from the Ming Dynasty had arrived spread like wildfire in Seoul, Korea.
Originally, the envoys from the Ming Dynasty had already made them very curious, but after this period of time, they also realized that the people sent by the Ming Dynasty were easy to get along with, smiled at everyone they met, and were very sensible in doing things.
The Prince of Fu also threw money everywhere, and they got along very well. They talked every day, ate, drank and had fun. The Prince of Fu never tired of it, and they also never tired of it. The two sides got along very harmoniously and very lovingly.
However, the Ming envoys who came this time were different. It was said that they came to fight.
The man who came this time was Sun Chuanting, a famous general in the Ming Dynasty. Since his debut, he had been undefeated in every battle, whether in Liaodong or in the southwest.
This time he brought a lot of sophisticated equipment from the Ming Dynasty, saying he would give it to Korea.
The situation in the Korean officialdom was suddenly turbulent. Every general wanted to get this batch of equipment into his own hands, and the same was true for the faction to which the general belonged.
Suddenly, the court of Joseon was in a state of panic. The Ming people had just arrived, and before anything could be discussed, they were already on the verge of fighting.
Of course, party struggles are the specialty of the North Korean officialdom. Even when there is nothing to do, they still fight and argue; now that there is something to do, they naturally have to fight and argue even more.
At the same time, something unexpected happened: the sudden rise of the elders caused a great impact on the court.
Ever since Queen Inmok fell seriously ill, the elders had been quiet for a long time. Who could have imagined that they would rise up again this time?
Apart from their own disturbance, the main reason was that Queen Inmok's illness had recovered.
The imperial physician from the Ming Dynasty performed miraculous healing work. After several months of nursing and treatment, Queen Inmok not only recovered, but also became healthier than before. Her complexion even became rosy and radiant, and her steps seemed lighter when she walked in the palace.
With Queen Inmok in this state, the veteran faction naturally looked like they were about to make a comeback.
This made the King of Joseon very dissatisfied, and he felt aggrieved. But he had no choice, he couldn't just kill his own grandmother, right?
The King of Korea had no choice but to endure and watch the veteran faction jump up and down.
The only good way to deal with the veteran faction is to get the support of the Ming Dynasty, and obtaining this batch of weapons is the best way.
During this period, the King of Korea often looked for Zhang Yu and always invited him to the palace for banquets. He had thought of various pretexts, but the real reason was only one, which was that he hoped Zhang Yu could help him persuade the new Ming envoy who had arrived in Korea.
Zhang Yu naturally agreed with a smile and performed Tai Chi without leaving any trace.
If he was really asked to agree to the King of Korea, it would be impossible. Moreover, even if he agreed, Sun Chuanting would not agree to this matter. This is not how the Ming Dynasty does things.
In the Ming Dynasty's plan, these weapons were to be given to the elders, and not just to the elders. They were to be given to the elders who supported the Second Prince.
This would cause the elders and the younger generation to fall out. After the fight, two factions would emerge within the elders, one supporting the first prince and the other supporting the second prince, and they would fight each other. At that point, the Ming Dynasty would support the second prince's rebellion.
Under such circumstances, the Ming Dynasty would not agree to the King of Korea.
The residence of Lord Fenglin.
As the second son of the King of Joseon, Prince Fenglin's residence was naturally very beautifully renovated and was large enough to occupy two streets.
It's not too busy here today, there aren't too many people.
A carriage appeared silently at the door of Lord Fenglin's residence.
A man got out of the car, looked around, and walked into the gate.
The doorman seemed to have known that this person was coming, and without any nonsense, he led him inside.
Soon, Menzi led him to the study and then left.
The wooden shelf on the wall slowly flipped open, leaving a gap on the side that was big enough for one person to pass through.
This person was not surprised. He walked into the secret room as if he knew the place well and found a chair to sit down.
Not long after, the sound of a wooden frame turning over was heard again in the secret passage, and a man walked in.
The person who had come earlier stood up and said respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Fenglin."
This Lord Fenglin is not very old, younger than his brother.
Looking at Park Jung-yang in front of him, Lord Fenglin said, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be coming over for a while? Why are you here again?"
"Because I just received an amazing piece of news." Park Jung-yang looked at Prince Fenglin with disbelief on his face, as if he had not expected this news.
Prince Fenglin looked at Park Zhengyang, frowned and said, "What news can shock you so much?"
"It's very simple. I just got a message from the Ming Dynasty that our prince may not be able to come back." Park Zhengyang said to Prince Fenglin.
Prince Fenglin looked at Park Jungyang in disbelief and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
"How can this be a joke?" Park Jung-yang said quickly.
"Could it be that my elder brother is sick in Daming?" Lord Fenglin still had an expression of disbelief on his face as he sat on the chair and asked slowly.
"No." Park Zhengyang shook his head and said, "According to the information I received, there is a noble lady from the royal family of the Ming Dynasty who has taken a fancy to the eldest prince. It is said that she is the sister of the current Ming emperor."
