After leaving home, Zhang Yu got on a carriage and rushed to the Korean royal palace.
After arriving at the Joseon royal palace, Zhang Yu felt that the situation here was obviously different from before, and the entire palace was plunged into a tense atmosphere.
Zhang Yu smiled, this was what he wanted to see most.
As soon as he entered the palace, Zhang Yu saw Zheng Xuhong.
Unexpectedly, the King of Korea actually asked Zheng Xuhong to come out to pick him up. This was good news, proving that his plan was successful.
"Master Zhang." Zheng Xuhong looked at Zhang Yu, walked straight to his side, bowed slightly and said, "The king is waiting for Master Zhang inside. Master Zhang, please come in."
Zhang Yu nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help, Master Zheng."
Apart from this, the two of them had no other communication, not even eye contact, as if they were very strangers.
After walking quickly into the hall, Zhang Yu saw the King of Korea.
At this time, the King of Korea had a gloomy face and looked very ugly.
Zhang Yu understood why, but pretended not to know. He took a step forward and said, "Zhang Yu greets His Majesty. Your Majesty doesn't look too happy. What happened? If there's anything I can do for you, please feel free to ask."
The King of Joseon looked at Zhang Yu, waved his hand, and said, "Master Zhang, please excuse me. Something has indeed happened. Hasn't Master Zhang heard about it? I'm afraid the news has spread all over Seoul by now."
Hearing this, Zhang Yu was stunned.
What the King of Korea said did not surprise him. The only thing that was unexpected was the King of Korea's attitude.
Zhang Yu did not expect that the King of Korea’s attitude would be so strong.
The King of Korea has always given people the impression of being very cowardly and hesitant, and has never been a decisive monarch.
I didn't expect that he would be so tough this time. That can only mean one thing, that this incident really hit him in the face, making him feel uncomfortable, even unhappy, which is why he has such thoughts and behaviors now.
Zhang Yu's mood improved instantly.
That's good, that's exactly what I want you to be in now.
"I have heard," Zhang Yu nodded, "that Lord Jin Zhengmin was assassinated in the street. I never imagined the perpetrators would be so bold as to do such a thing in the capital of Korea! These people must be apprehended and severely punished! Has the king captured them?"
Zhang Yu knew in his heart that if you want to catch someone, you can dream on!
The King of Korea's expression instantly became even uglier.
He certainly felt that Zhang Yu was right, and that the man should be apprehended and severely punished, perhaps even with his family confiscated and his entire clan exterminated. However, he hadn't apprehended the man at all, which was a blatant slap in the face.
Zheng Xuhong, who was watching from the side, couldn't stand it any longer. She took a step forward and said, "The thief is cunning and seems to have planned it in advance. They haven't caught him yet."
"I see." Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Is there anything I can help with?"
The King of Korea coughed, changing the subject, and then said, "I called Master Zhang here today because I have another matter to ask you. I don't ask for any favors, Master Zhang, I just ask that you tell me the truth."
Zhang Yu was stunned, and seemed a little hesitant. He smiled helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, you don't think this matter has anything to do with the Ming Dynasty, do you? Or do you think I was responsible?"
"That's not the case," the King of Korea said, waving his hand. "But there are some things I still hope Master Zhang can tell me clearly."
"Your Majesty, please speak." Zhang Yu nodded and said, "As long as I can tell you, I will tell you everything I know. Your Majesty, please rest assured."
The King of Korea frowned, of course he understood the meaning of Zhang Yu's words.
What do you mean by "can be said"? Is there anything that cannot be said?
Although he wanted to ask back, he also knew that the person in front of him was of a different status. This person was not his subject, and when he called himself a subject, it was just a verbal respect for him.
"It's like this. I want to ask when my prince will be able to return from Ming Dynasty?" The King of Korea looked at Zhang Yu and said slowly.
Although things are very chaotic now, the return of the Crown Prince has given the King of Joseon a backbone. Moreover, the Crown Prince's return from Ming Dynasty has a different meaning.
So the King of Korea started from this point, which was also an inevitable problem.
"I don't know about that," Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty admires the Crown Prince very much and felt a sense of familiarity when he met him, so he kept him here. Your Majesty is still in good health, so he shouldn't be in a hurry for the Crown Prince to return, right?"
The King of Korea stood up, his eyes narrowed, and said, "I'm afraid someone doesn't want my Crown Prince to come back?"
"Yes." Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Isn't this person His Majesty? I just mentioned it."
The King of Korea was immediately choked back.
You can talk about anything, but you must never bring it up with the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise you will be courting death.
Zheng Xuhong felt helpless and took another step forward and said, "Your Majesty is not talking about His Majesty. His Majesty the Emperor likes the Crown Prince. This is a blessing for the Crown Prince and for the entire Joseon Dynasty."
"Your Majesty is referring to people from Korea. Are there people operating in Ming who don't want the Crown Prince to return, or even want him to stay in Ming forever? There's a case that's connected to this matter, and I've found some information. I just want to confirm it with Master Zhang. Please tell me the truth."
