This was the first time that Li Jie was blocked outside the door of Donghun Pavilion. He wanted to leave but didn't dare, because who knew if Zhu Yuanzhang would ask him to go in later? So he could only stand outside the door and wait boredly.

However, after Li Jie waited for a while, he saw Zhu Biao walking out with a depressed look on his face, which made Li Jie a little funny. He immediately stepped forward and teased, "Why did you come out too?"

"The room is too stuffy, can't I come out to get some breath?" Zhu Biao said to Li Jie with a blank look. It was embarrassing to be kicked out by his father, but Li Jie, the prospective son-in-law, even made fun of him.

"That's a coincidence. I think the scenery outside is good!" Li Jie responded with a smile, then stood beside Zhu Biao and enjoyed the scenery outside with him.

"By the way, has Yuning apologized to you?" Zhu Biao suddenly asked.

"What apologize? I have never seen the princess." Li Jie was shocked, but he refused to admit it.

"Don't pretend to be stupid with me. You have seen Yuning twice. Don't think I don't know anything!" Zhu Biao glared at Li Jie and said. If he didn't even know these things, then the prince would have done too much.

Seeing that Li Jie couldn't hide it, he had to smile with a thick face and said, "Actually, I have never blamed the princess. After all, she is also kind-hearted, and I also want to thank the prince!"

"Thank me?" Zhu Biao was also a little surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, it is precisely the prince's teaching that allows the princess to value love and friendship so much. It is really a blessing for the minister to marry such a woman!" Li Jie also showed a very sincere expression at the end of his speech.

Zhu Biao was even more surprised when he heard Li Jie's words. He immediately looked him up and down a few times, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, I was a little unhappy when my father appointed you as the prince consort of Yuning, but now it seems that you are indeed the most suitable person for Yuning!"

"Thank you Your Highness to praise you!" Li Jie immediately said happily, then he looked at the warm cabinet again and asked curiously, "Your Highness, what do you think Your Majesty and Master Mu Shan will talk about?"

Hearing Li Jie's question, Zhu Biao also showed a hesitant look. After a moment, he spoke: "I don't know what to talk about. However, my father is old and sometimes I often recall the old things from that year. Unfortunately, most of the old friends of that year are gone. Zhang Dingbian is barely considered one. My father should talk to him about some of the past."

Li Jie's eyes lit up when he heard this, then looked around and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, I heard that during the Battle of Poyang Lake, Zhang Dingbian almost came to His Majesty's side. If it weren't for the rescue of King Kaiping, His Majesty would be in danger. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. My father once told me about the danger at that time. At that time, Zhang Dingbian stood at the bow of the boat, holding a long sword in his hand, and even the guards around him were killed by him. Thanks to King Kaiping arrived in time, he shot Zhang Dingbian in the chest with an arrow, forcing him to retreat. It can be said that Zhang Dingbian almost completely reversed the situation at that time!"

When Zhu Biao mentioned the fierce battle that year, his face showed a look of yearning. Unfortunately, he was too young back then and could only follow Queen Ma to guard the rear, and he could not see the heroic figures of Zhang Dingbian, Chang Yuchun and others.

When Li Jie heard this, he also showed a look of fascination, but then he suddenly thought that although Zhang Dingbian was old, he still had the courage to be unstoppable. Now, only Zhu Yuanzhang sat against him in the warm cabinet. What if he was not good for Zhu Yuanzhang?

However, the above idea just flashed through Li Jie's mind, because as long as Zhang Dingbian was not crazy, he would never dare not to attack Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty was stable. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang died, he would not shake the Ming Dynasty's territory and would be retaliated by Zhu Biao. By then, hundreds of thousands of fishermen in the surnames, as well as Zou Pusheng and others overseas, would all be buried with Zhu Yuanzhang.

"By the way, I heard that there was a change in Goryeo, and it seemed to be related to our Ming Dynasty. I wonder what was going on?" Li Jie suddenly thought of something at this time and asked.

Zhang Dingbian and the others were going to Japan, while Daming secretly planned to be the silver mine in Japan. In this way, the Goryeo next to him became very important. During this period, Li Jie was also collecting the situation about Goryeo. Only then was surprised to find that Goryeo was in a critical period of changing dynasties, and even the Goryeo Dynasty was about to end, and the Joseon Dynasty was about to appear.

When Li Jie asked about Goryeo, Zhu Biao also smiled proudly and said, "The things in Goryeo are indeed related to our Ming Dynasty. Have you heard of Li Chenggui?"

"Of course I know, this person seems to be a powerful minister in Goryeo!" Li Jie was also shocked when he heard Li Chenggui's name, because this guy was the founder of the Lee Dynasty in Korea, and he was very close to the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes, Li Chenggui is actually Cao Cao of Goryeo. King Goryeo has become a puppet in his hands. He has long written a letter to our Ming Dynasty to repair it, and his father also attaches great importance to him. Now he is only one chance. As long as he abandons King Goryeo, we will immediately recognize his identity!" Zhu Biao said with a smile again, and after saying that, he also told Li Chenggui's identity and origin and how he made a fortune in Goryeo.

Although Li Chenggui was from Goryeo, his father defected to the Yuan Dynasty and became a thousand households in the Yuan Dynasty. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, all heroes emerged, and the Yuan Dynasty's control over the border decreased. So Li Chenggui's father defected to Goryeo again to assist Goryeo to regain the territory occupied by the Yuan Dynasty, which made them father and son become senior officials of Goryeo.

Although the Mongolian Yuan was driven out of the Central Plains by Zhu Yuanzhang, he still had a considerable influence. The attitudes of Goryeo toward the Mongolian Yuan were not unified. Some old nobles were born to rely on the Mongolian Yuan, so they advocated getting along with the Mongolian Yuan, while some emerging nobles advocated supporting the Ming Dynasty. The two sides argued, which led to a split within Goryeo.

Just two years ago, the old aristocratic forces advocated friendship with the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties had the upper hand. They persuaded the King of Goryeo to organize troops to attack Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty and let Li Chenggui take charge of the army. As a result, Li Chenggui suddenly led his troops back to Kaijing on Weihua Island and eliminated the old aristocratic forces, which was called "Waihua Island Return Army" in history. This incident also represents Li Chenggui's military and political power in one fell swoop.

Li Chenggui, who was in power, also actively had a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang also hoped that Liaodong would be stable, so he also wanted to win over Li Chenggui. The two sides hit it off, which also concluded the beginning of a hundred years of friendship between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea.

"Interesting, Li Chenggui is really good at seizing the opportunity. Goryeo has him in power. No wonder the prince said before that Goryeo dared not be disrespectful to our Ming Dynasty!" After listening to Zhu Biao's story, Li Jie also touched his chin and whispered.

"Although Li Chenggui is now in power and looks glorious, according to the news we have learned, there are still many oppositions to him within Goryeo, so he must use our power to suppress the internal opposition voices. Otherwise, he would have been the king of his own long ago, so how could he have to wait until now?" Zhu Biao smiled and spoke again.

Li Jie nodded again after hearing this, which was in line with the international relations in his understanding. There were only bare interests between countries. As for the so-called feelings, they may exist between private individuals, but they definitely did not exist between countries.

"Your Highness, even if Li Chenggui dares not disobey our Ming Dynasty now, if it lasts forever, his descendants may have other thoughts. After all, the mining of silver mines is not a year or two, but a hundred years. If such a large piece of fat is in front of him, maybe someone in Goryeo will not be able to help but take a bite!" Li Jie pondered for a moment before saying again.

"This..." Zhu Biao also showed a hesitant look when he heard this. Li Jie's words really make sense. After all, Japan is so close to Goryeo. If the Ming Dynasty did not have strong deterrent means, it would be difficult to guarantee that Goryeo would become greedy for silver mines in the future.

"Then what do you think should be done?" Zhu Biao pondered for a long time, and finally asked Li Jie.
