Chapter 690 The Last Straw



Zheng Xuhong nodded, and then said, "Sir, you are right."

Anyway, Zheng Xuhong has already confirmed that Zhang Fu was most likely wrongly accused, and that Lin Dechang was a subordinate of Fenglin Dajun. Therefore, Jin Zhengmin and the others were also most likely wrongly accused.

After all, Lin Dechang used to follow Park Zhengyang, and now he follows Fenglin Dajun. It doesn't seem normal no matter how you look at it.

Li Feng said quietly at this time: "Master Zheng, think about it, before these things happened, was there anyone who supported Lord Fenglin?"

Zheng Xuhong shook his head and said with a sullen face, "Of course there is no one. The eldest prince has been the crown prince for so many years and has always been very prestigious. In this regard, the ministers have also recognized him. Other princes have no chance at all, not even Lord Fenglin."

Li Feng spread his hands and said, "What about now?"

Zheng Xuhong suddenly stood up and thought of another possibility.

He paced back and forth in the room, his pace getting faster and faster. Finally, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Li Feng and said, "What if this Lin Dechang has been colluding with the Ming Dynasty for a long time?"

Li Feng shook his head and said hesitantly, "They don't dare, right?"

"What are they afraid of?" Zheng Xuhong snorted coldly, "This whole thing is a conspiracy from beginning to end. If Lin Dechang can convince Daming, then why can't he convince Daming to keep the prince?"

"If that's the case, then everything makes sense. Prince Fenglin first had Lin Dechang do business with Park Zhengyang, hooking up with the people of Ming Dynasty, and then had the people of Ming Dynasty work hard to keep the prince in Ming Dynasty. They wanted to accomplish this. Do you think it would be difficult, sir?"

Li Feng thought about it and shook his head and said, "If we follow Lin Dechang's words, those people are willing to do anything for money. They will definitely not care too much about this matter. After all, he is just the crown prince of North Korea."

"As long as they say something bad in front of the Ming emperor, or spread some threats, such as saying that the Joseon crown prince is ambitious and disrespectful to the Ming, that will be enough. Although they won't resort to violence, it's still no problem to keep the person here."

"That's right!" Zheng Xuhong clapped her hands and said, "As long as the Crown Prince stays in Ming, Prince Fenglin's chance will come. But this will also give other young princes a chance. Prince Fenglin needs support in the court, and the best candidates are those from the Elders."

"But the elders have no power, so Lord Fenglin had to take action against the young faction. He used Lin Dechang to deal with Park Zhengyang, provoking a fight between the two factions. He then used the elders to take down Zhang Fu, and now he wants the elders to take down me."

"But there's a conflict between them." Zheng Xuhong's steps became more and more hurried as she spoke, "Perhaps they haven't reached an agreement; perhaps what Prince Fenglin did was discovered; perhaps Kim Jong-min doesn't want to support Prince Fenglin and wants a younger prince; or perhaps Kim Jong-min has never supported Prince Fenglin, so Prince Fenglin can only choose others in the court, such as us."

"We are in a precarious situation right now, and my own future is even more precarious. If he were to lend a hand at this time, we would undoubtedly be deeply grateful, and there is no other way but to support him. This way, if the Crown Prince cannot return, and with our support, the chances of Lord Fenglin ascending the throne will greatly increase."

After hearing this, Li Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's not a big increase, but it's almost certain."

"What do you mean?" Zheng Xuhong looked at Li Feng and asked anxiously.

"Sir, don't forget about the Ming Dynasty. If they really acted as you said, they would have reached an agreement with the Ming Dynasty long ago. Lin Dechang is so confident, he probably got a promise from the Ming Dynasty."

"If the Ming Dynasty doesn't help Jin Zhengmin and his men this time, but instead supports you and Prince Fenglin, then Prince Fenglin will be almost certain to win, and there will be no accidents at all."

"I see!" Zheng Xuhong suddenly realized, "No wonder Lin Dechang is so confident."

The moment they looked at each other, they both felt they had seen the truth. They couldn't believe it, but they were also deeply shocked.

Zheng Xuhong finally sat back in his chair, his face gloomy and uncertain, and then he murmured, "I didn't expect that our great king would have such a plan."

"It's not necessarily the Great Lord's plan. It's very likely there are other people involved. This Lin Dechang is no ordinary person. I heard there's another Zhao Chenqi beside him, and that person is no ordinary person either."

"Yes, yes, and Zhao Chenqi as well," Zheng Xuhong said excitedly. "Now I understand why they didn't go for Kim Jong-min. It's very likely that Zhao Chenqi is interfering."

"Over the years, although Zhao Chenqi's status among the elders is not low, it is still far inferior to that of Kim Jong-min. He wants to overthrow Kim Jong-min, but he lacks the strength."

"If he was the one who orchestrated this, he would definitely not go to Kim Jong-min and the others. Once Kim Jong-min and his group step forward, he will be out of the game. But if he joins forces with us, he will become a separate faction. After Kim Jong-min falls, he will probably be able to eat his fill."

"Although we were able to regain power, we still suffered heavy losses. What a calculation!" Zheng Xuhong said admiringly: "These old guys have accomplished so many things without realizing it, and every step is so perfect. It's really amazing!"

Li Feng on the side also had a look of emotion on his face, and then he exclaimed in admiration: "It is indeed amazing. For so many years, I have been the leader of the pack, and I have always felt that no one can match my scheming. Although I have never said it out loud, I have always thought so in my heart. Now seeing the skills of these old guys, I know that there is always someone better than you."
