Chapter 690 The Last Straw(1/2)
Lin Dechang smiled and nodded and said: "This is the man. Mr. Zheng is well-informed and must know everything about the Ming Dynasty."
"This Mr. Zhang is not a simple person. He is not only the confidant of the Ming Emperor, but also the official who is most valued by the Ming Emperor among the younger generation of the Ming Dynasty."
"This time when we come to North Korea, although it is King Fu who makes the decision on the surface, we all know that the real decision is still made by Mr. Zhang. As long as we can persuade him, there will be no problem."
Zheng Xuhong nodded.
He knew that what Lin Dechang said was true. People like them knew the Ming Dynasty very well.
Those who have the final say in the Ming Dynasty are those civil servants. In the past two years, there has been an additional staff office. Although Prince Fu has a noble status, he does not necessarily have the final say in matters.
"But there is another thing here." Zheng Xuhong raised her head, looked at Lin Dechang and asked: "What are your thoughts on this aspect? It may not be easy to convince Mr. Zhang."
"It's actually simple." Lin Dechang said with a smile: "We don't need to work hard on Mr. Zhang. The Ming Dynasty had many businessmen in North Korea, and the people standing behind these people were all officials of the Ming Dynasty. Many of them were from the Ming Dynasty.
Senior officials. Let them say it, it will be more effective than us."
"They also have a great influence on Mr. Zhang. It is not very difficult for them to convince Mr. Zhang. As long as we give enough benefits, those businessmen will definitely be willing to do things for us."
Zheng Xuhong nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if there are some benefits. For North Korea, it's okay if we can get this done."
Li Feng said with a smile: "Your Excellency is far-sighted and is indeed a model for North Korean officials!"
Lin Dechang sneered in his heart.
That's not what you said when you scolded Kim Jong Min and the others just now. Now that it's your turn, the reason is different. You said it so high-minded, but in fact, you are not doing the same thing?
Lin Dechang thought so in his heart, but did not say so in his mouth. He looked at Zheng Xuhong with a smile on his face, and followed Li Feng and said, "Mr. Li is right, Mr. Zheng is the conscience of North Korea."
Zheng Xuhong stroked his beard, waved his hand and said: "For North Korea, I am willing to work hard and die. Of course, these things are nothing."
After saying that, Zheng Xuhong turned to look at Lin Dechang and asked: "Are you sure?"
"Mr. Zheng, please rest assured. I helped Pu Zhengyang do business before, and it was during that process that I came into contact with Lord Fenglin and found out what they were doing."
“But knowing what they do, how can I, as a North Korean, be complicit with them?”
"So I took refuge with Lord Fenglin, and I didn't throw away my contacts in Daming. After Pu Zhengyang died, we got along more frequently. Those people only have interests in their eyes. Give them money and do anything.
"
Zheng Xuhong nodded and said: "Then let's do this. This matter will trouble Mr. Li. As long as we do this well, we can reverse the decline."
"Master Zheng, just wait for my good news!" Lin Dechang said with a smile.
Lin Dechang left with a confident look.
After the people left, the expression on Zheng Xuhong's face became more serious. She turned to look at Li Feng and asked, "Do you think what he said is true?"
"Part of it is true." Li Feng stroked his beard and smiled.
"I think so too." Zheng Xuhong nodded and said, "But I always feel that there is something fishy in this matter, but I can't tell where it is."
"Maybe this Lin Dechang is a little weird." Li Feng said with a frown.
[Get cash red envelopes] You can get cash by reading books! Follow WeChat and the public account [Book Friends Base Camp], cash/point coins are waiting for you!
"Yes, he is a little weird." Zheng Xuhong clapped her hands and said: "According to what he meant, he used to follow Park Zhengyang, so he should be Kim Zhengmin's. But now he has gone to Lord Fenglin, and he is also
I have won the trust of Lord Fenglin. This matter seems weird, there is something going on here."
Li Feng hesitated slightly, and then said: "Is it possible that he is the person buried next to Pu Zhengyang by Lord Fenglin?"
"Yes, that should be it!" Zheng Xuhong said excitedly: "If that's the case, then everything can be explained. Kim Jong-min and others are not the murderers of Park Zhengyang at all, this Lin Dechang is probably."
Zheng Xuhong didn't say the next words, but the meaning was already obvious: the real murderer was not Lin Dechang, but Lord Fenglin.
Lord Fenglin attacked Pu Zhengyang, and then framed Zhang Fu, instigating a fight between the two factions.
After the two factions fought, Lord Fenglin had both sides. But for some unknown reason, they should have fallen out with Kim Jong-min's side. Now they choose their own side in order to gain support from their own side.
Zheng Xuhong looked at Li Feng and asked: "Sir, what do you think we should do?"
Li Feng also looked at Zheng Xuhong and said with a wry smile: "Sir, I'm afraid there is no other choice now, right?"
After hearing this, Zheng Xuhong fell silent.
Indeed, there is really no good choice for myself.
If Kim Jong Min and others succeed, he will be doomed, and he may end up following Zhang Fu's old path.
It was precisely at this moment that I grasped the last straw.
"Sir, think about it. You are in a precarious situation now. Apart from Lord Fenglin, I am afraid that no one can help you." Li Feng said in a helpless tone: "We don't have much choice. No matter what the truth of the matter is,
Having come this far, there is no way out."
"If things are done, the benefits will be self-evident; if things are not done, I'm afraid your fate will not be worse."
Zheng Xuhong nodded, and then said: "Sir, you are right."
Anyway, now Zheng Xuhong has determined that Zhang Fu is probably unjustly accused, and Lin Dechang is a member of Lord Fenglin. Then Kim Jongmin and the others are probably also unjustly accused.
After all, Lin Dechang used to be with Park Zhengyang, and now he's with Lord Feng Lin. It's not normal no matter how you look at it.
At this time, Li Feng said quietly to the side: "Master Zheng, think about it, before these things come out, is there anyone who supports Lord Fenglin?"
Zheng Xuhong shook his head and said solemnly: "Of course there is no one. The eldest prince has been a prince for so many years and has always been very prestigious. In this regard, the ministers also recognized him. The other princes have no chance at all, even Lord Fenglin
No way either."
Li Feng spread his hands and said, "What about now?"
Zheng Xuhong suddenly stood up and thought of another possibility.
He walked back and forth in the room, getting faster and faster, and finally stopped suddenly, turned to look at Li Feng and said, "What if this Lin Dechang had already colluded with Ming Dynasty?"
Li Feng shook his head and said hesitantly: "They don't dare, right?"
"What are they afraid of?" Zheng Xuhong snorted coldly: "This matter is a conspiracy from beginning to end. If Lin Dechang can persuade Ming Dynasty, then why can't he persuade Ming Dynasty to keep the crown prince?"
"If that's the case, then everything makes sense. Lord Fenglin first asked Lin Dechang to do business with Pu Zhengyang, and hooked up with people from the Ming Dynasty, and then asked the people from the Ming Dynasty to work hard to keep the crown prince in the Ming Dynasty. They wanted to make it happen
Do you find this difficult, sir?"
Li Feng thought for a while and then shook his head and said: "If you 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, they are just the crown prince of North Korea."
"As long as the Ming Dynasty speaks some bad words in front of the emperor, or spreads some threats, for example, the prince of Joseon is very ambitious and disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty, that will be fine. Although it is not necessary to take action, there is still no problem in keeping the person."
"That's right!" Zheng Xuhong clapped her hands and said: "As long as the prince stays in the Ming Dynasty, the opportunity for Lord Fenglin will come. But in this way, other younger princes will also have opportunities. Lord Fenglin will need support in the court.
, the best candidates are the veterans."
"But those people from the Elder Faction have no rights, so Lord Fenglin needs to attack the Young Faction. He uses Lin Dechang to get rid of Park Zhengyang, provokes a struggle between the two factions, and uses the Elder Faction to take down Zhang Fu. Now he wants the Elder Faction to take down me.
.”
"But there was a conflict between them." Zheng Xuhong became more and more excited as she talked, and her steps became more and more urgent. "Maybe they didn't reach an agreement; maybe what Lord Fenglin did was discovered; maybe Kim Jongmin didn't want to
Supporting Lord Fenglin, they want a younger prince; or maybe Kim Jong Min has never supported Lord Fenglin, and Lord Fenglin can only choose other people in the court, such as us."
"Now we are in a precarious situation, and I am even more precarious. If he reaches out to lend a hand at this time, we will definitely be grateful. There is no other way but to support him. In this way, the prince will not be able to come back. With our support, Lord Fenglin ascends to the throne.
The chances of ascending to the throne will be greatly increased."
After hearing this, Li Feng pondered for a moment and said: "I'm afraid it's not a big increase, but a certainty."
"How do you say this?" Zheng Xuhong looked at Li Feng and asked eagerly.
"Sir, don't forget that there is Ming Dynasty. If they really acted as you said, they should have reached an agreement with Ming Dynasty long ago. Lin Dechang is so confident that he probably got Ming Dynasty.
The promise.”
"If the Ming Dynasty does not help Kim Zhengmin and the others this time, but instead supports the adults and Lord Fenglin, then Lord Fenglin will be sure of success, and there will be no surprises at all."
"That's it!" Zheng Xuhong suddenly said: "No wonder Lin Dechang is so confident."
The moment the two looked at each other, they both felt that they had understood the truth. While they were in disbelief, they were also shocked.
Zheng Xuhong finally sat back on the chair, with a gloomy expression on her face, and then murmured: "I didn't expect that our great king would actually have such a plan."
"It's not necessarily the plot of the Maharaja. There may be others. Lin Dechang is not simple. I heard that there is Zhao Chenqi beside him, and that person is not simple either."
"Yes, yes, there is Zhao Chenqi." Zheng Xuhong said excitedly: "Now I understand a little bit why they didn't fight for Kim Jong-min. It's probably Zhao Chenqi who was causing trouble."
"After so many years, although Zhao Chenqi's status among the elders is not low, it is not even close to that of Kim Jong Min. He wants to overthrow Kim Jong Min, but he is not strong enough."
"If he was the one who came up with the plan, then he would never go to Kim Jong Min and the others. Once Kim Jong Min and the others come forward, nothing will happen to him. But if he joins forces with us, then he will be alone.
One faction. After Kim Jong Min falls, I’m afraid he will be full.”
"Although we people were able to regain power, we still suffered heavy losses. What a calculation!" Zheng Xuhong said in admiration: "These old guys have accomplished so many things without knowing 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 praised: "It is indeed amazing. For so many years, I have been arrogant among the others, and I have always felt that no one can match mine in planning. Although I have not said it out loud, I have already felt this in my heart.
That’s what I thought. Now that I see the skills of these old guys, I realize that there is a world outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.”
Zheng Xuhong nodded and said, "That's true. Not only are these people ruthless, but they are also very scheming. It seems that we should be careful about them in the future."
"If I can establish a relationship with Daming this time, I hope you can reach out and find a backer from Daming, so that it will be much easier to do things in the future."
Zheng Xuhong thought for a while and said, "What you said makes sense. Try to find a suitable person this time."
