"I know why the prince won't come back. It's not like the rumors say at all." Lin Dechang said proudly, "The prince won't come back because he's been detained, not because he's favored by the Ming Dynasty. And I also know that he probably won't be able to come back in this lifetime."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lord Fenglin's expression changed immediately.
Not only did Lord Feng Lin's expression change, but Zhao Chenqi, who was standing next to him, also changed his expression.
"You can't talk nonsense!" Lord Fenglin said with a gloomy face, staring at Lin Dechang in front of him: "If you dare to talk nonsense here, I will let you know what it means to be powerful."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Since I dare to say this, I am sure of it." Lin Dechang said with a smile, "This is the information I received from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty's dispatch of envoys this time is also related to this matter."
"Then tell me." Lord Fenglin pestered him.
"The main reason the Crown Prince couldn't return was because His Highness had expressed his dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty in front of the Ming Emperor. He believed that the Ming Dynasty was plundering Korea, both its wealth and its people. The Crown Prince believed that if this continued, Korea would be on the verge of collapse, with its people fleeing to the Ming Dynasty and its wealth being plundered by Ming merchants. Korea would no longer be Korea. His Highness's words were very harsh and angered the Ming Emperor."
"Besides that, the Ming emperor also felt that the crown prince of Joseon had rebellious intentions, and was disloyal to the Ming. If the crown prince became the king of Joseon, Joseon might become an enemy of the Ming. So the Ming emperor kept the crown prince and did not let him return."
"This time, the Ming Dynasty sent envoys to Korea mainly to find a suitable candidate, someone suitable to be the King of Korea. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Lord Fenglin did not speak, and neither did Zhao Chenqi, who was standing beside him.
This news was so shocking that the two of them didn't know what to say for a moment.
This was something they had never expected, but they also felt that what Lin Dechang said was true.
This explains why the prince can't come back, and also explains why the Ming Dynasty sent envoys. After these two questions are explained, people suddenly have a sense of sudden enlightenment.
"So that's what's going on." Lord Fenglin's expression turned grim. He stared at Lin Dechang and said, "Can you guarantee the authenticity of this information?"
"Of course." Lin Dechang nodded and said, "That's right. I heard the news from a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty. I was drinking with him, and he accidentally leaked it. He also said at the time: How could the emperor of the Ming Dynasty marry his princess to the crown prince of Korea?"
"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no princess has ever married outside the Ming Dynasty. How could the emperor of the Ming Dynasty allow such a thing to happen?"
"Besides, who is the current Ming Emperor? He is a man of great talent and vision, with his eyes fixed on the world. Marrying a princess at this time is simply impossible." Lin Dechang said seriously, "Now that the Ming has conquered Japan, the Jiannu are gone, and the Mongols have been subdued, who else is left in the north? Your Majesty, you can think about it yourself."
"Is there any need to think about this? There is only North Korea left in the north." Zhao Chenqi said after pondering for a moment.
"It is precisely because of this that the Ming Dynasty has set its sights on Korea. After all, Korea is like a thorn in the flesh, and the Ming Dynasty will not be happy unless it removes it. The Ming Dynasty must choose an obedient Korean king and make Korea a true vassal of the Ming Dynasty."
Prince Fenglin's face turned ugly, and he said angrily: "How could they do this? Isn't Korea respectful enough to the Ming Dynasty? How could they do this?"
After hearing this, Lin Dechang laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Lord Fenglin frowned and stared at Lin Dechang with an ugly expression.
"Your Majesty, no matter how respectful North Korea is, it is still North Korea, and it is not part of the Ming Dynasty. If North Korea becomes part of the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty will be able to do even more to North Korea. Is this principle so difficult to understand?"
"If His Majesty doesn't dare, then just pretend I didn't come today. Although I, Lin Dechang, am a businessman, I am wary of the Ming Dynasty and have never forgotten that I am a Korean, a member of the Korean Lee family. What is the reason for His Highness the Crown Prince to suffer in the Ming Dynasty?
"Isn't it all for Korea? It's because of His Highness the Crown Prince that I, Lin Dechang, have come to the King. I hope the King can understand what the Crown Prince has done and work hard to strengthen Korea. One day, Korea will be able to conquer Japan, occupy Liaodong, and build a great empire!"
"For this, I, Lin Dechang, am willing to sacrifice my entire fortune and even my life. Now is the most critical moment, and the Ming Dynasty has begun to select a suitable candidate. Your Majesty, do you think the Ming Dynasty will choose you?"
As soon as these words came out, Lord Fenglin was shocked and his expression relaxed a little.
Will the Ming Dynasty choose itself?
The answer is no, they definitely won't choose me. If Big Brother doesn't come back, they will definitely choose someone who is easy to control.
Who is this easy-to-control person?
I'm afraid it's my youngest brother. After all, he can't do anything when he's young, so Korea will be controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty can do whatever it wants.
This won’t work!
Prince Fenglin's face turned dark. He thought of another possibility. If he could not become the King of Korea, the Ming Dynasty would probably kill him.
After all, I am here in a righteous position. If my elder brother doesn't come back, then the throne should be mine. Daming doesn't want me to be the king. Apart from letting myself die, is there any better way?
As long as I die, it will be justified and everything will be natural.
