Chapter 162 Jiang Wei's Perseverance
Zhu Di whipped Jiang Yan hard. It was precisely because he leaked the news to Zheng Mengzhou without authorization that their original plan was interrupted. Now Li Chenggui probably guessed that it was the news they leaked, and it was impossible for them to enter the city again.
"You don't know what's wrong?" Zhu Di looked at Jiang Yan, who was stubborn and was whipped a few times, gritted his teeth and said nothing. This made him so angry that he really wanted to draw his sword to cut off this bastard. After all, he was not afraid of others. For their royal family, the Jinyiwei was just a group of hawks and dogs they raised.
"Your Highness, your subordinates have only made some adjustments to Li Bandu's plan in accordance with the internal situation of Goryeo. Only when Zheng Mengzhou is alive is the most beneficial to us!" Jiang Yan said again without changing his face. He did not regret his decision without authorization.
"I dare to be stubborn. I will chop you now if I believe it or not!" Zhu Di was so angry that he pulled out his waist knife and was about to kill Jiang Yan. What he disliked the most was such a person who was a clever man.
However, Yao Guangxiao, who was next to him, stepped forward to stop Zhu Di and said, "His highness, calm down. Since Jiang Tongzhi has leaked the news, the facts cannot be changed. Why don't we listen to his explanation? After all, he has been in Kaicheng for so long, and he must be more familiar with the situation in Kaicheng than us."
Zhu Di still attached great importance to Yao Guangxiao's words. He nodded when he heard this, and then said to Jiang Yan in anger: "You said, I will give you a chance to explain now!"
Jiang Yan took a deep breath, and then said, "Li Bandu's original plan was indeed good, but Li Bandu did not enter Goryeo, and he still underestimated the strength of Li Chenggui and his son. If Zheng Mengzhou was killed by Li Chenggui, then there would be no one in Goryeo that could restrain Li Chenggui and his son. Even if His Highness suddenly attacked Li Chenggui and his son, the chance of success would be extremely small!"
Jiang Yan paused and then said, "What's more, Li Chenggui has always been cautious. No matter where he goes, he will bring a large number of guards and be very wary of anyone. His Highness will bring so many people into Kaicheng, and he will definitely be monitored by Li Chenggui. It is impossible to launch a surprise attack!"
I have to say that Jiang Yan's words make sense. Heroes like Li Chenggui generally have suspicious characteristics, such as Cao Cao, Lao Zhu, and Li Chenggui are the same. They engrave the four words "carefulness" into their bones. They will never take risks that should not be taken, but if they really need to take risks, they don't mind gamble. This is also the trait of heroes.
Although Zhu Di had a bad temper, he was actually very smart. When he heard Jiang Yan's words, he immediately judged that the other party's words were very reasonable, so he calmed down most of his anger and immediately asked again: "What about now?"
"It's different now. Zheng Mengzhou is still alive, and he also summoned Cao Minxiu, Li Chenggui's old enemy. The two joined forces to lead people out of Kaicheng even if they can't save the King of Goryeo. As long as Zheng Mengzhou is alive, he can use his appeal to summon forces from all over Goryeo to resist Li Chenggui. Only then can the fisherman make a profit!"
When Jiang Yan spoke at the end, his eyes also showed an excited look. Being able to play with a kingdom in applause was also a huge sense of accomplishment for him.
After hearing this, Zhu Di also showed a silent expression. He had to say that Jiang Yan's words convinced him that although Li Jie was smart, he was not a god. He could not fully consider some things. If he really did what he planned, he would probably have to return in the end. With Li Chenggui's cautious personality, he would not give him a chance to attack him at all, because he and Li Chenggui were the same type of people, so he could better understand the terror of people like Li Chenggui.
"Jiang Tongzhi said it well, but have you ever thought about it? Even if Zheng Mengzhou escaped, King Goryeo is still in the hands of Li Chenggui. Even if Zheng Mengzhou has a high prestige in Goryeo, he is still not as good as King Goryeo. Li Chenggui can completely use the emperor to command the princes. Zheng Mengzhou may be in a dilemma at that time." Yao Guangxiao suddenly spoke.
"Master, the Goryeo King in Kaicheng was originally a puppet of Li Chengguili. The real Goryeo King was Wang Jing and Wang Chang and his son. Although their father and son were killed by Li Chenggui last year, they still had offspring alive!" When Jiang Yan said this, he reached out and moved his hand to the back, and immediately a child about ten years old trotted forward.
I saw this child with a thin figure and a cowardly expression. Especially when he saw a strong man like Zhu Di, he shrank his head like a little quail, and then he stammered: "Wang Xing, the son of King Lixing, pays homage to His Highness, King Yan, and asks His Highness to avenge my father and brother!"
"King Lixing?" Zhu Di was also stunned when he heard this strange title.
"Your Highness, the former King of Goryeo Wang, Wang Jing, was exiled by Li Chenggui to live in Lixing County on Jianghua Island, so he was called King of Li Xing. Moreover, Li Chenggui also slandered him for not being the blood of the Goryeo royal family. After killing Wang Jing and his son, he did not give them any titles, and even fabricated many lies to slander Wang Jing and his son, and Wang Xing was Wang Jing's second son!" Jiang Jing explained again.
Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao were both smart people. When they heard this, they immediately understood what Jiang Yan meant. The current King of Goryeo was drawn by the almost joking way after Li Chenggui took power. In contrast, Wang Xing in front of him was the real heir to the throne of Goryeo. As long as they were under the banner of Wang Xing, they would not be afraid of the fake king held hostage by Li Chenggui.
"Does that Zheng Mengzhou agree?" Zhu Di suddenly asked a very critical question. After all, they are outsiders. If they want to push Wang Xing to the top, they must have a highly respected Goryeo person. The most suitable candidate is of course Zheng Mengzhou. However, people like Zheng Mengzhou generally have their own persistence and philosophy. If two kings appear in Goryeo, it will undoubtedly have a huge impact on Goryeo.
"Your Highness, don't worry. If he doesn't agree, how could I find Wang Xing?" Jiang Yan smiled faintly.
In fact, after Wang Jing was killed, with Li Chenggui's personality, there was no possibility of any hidden dangers, so Wang Jing's sons were also slaughtered. Wang Xing was sent by Zheng Mengzhou to secretly rescue him. He originally wanted to leave a bloodline for Wang Jing, but today it was of great use. Jiang Jing also learned about Wang Xing from Zheng Mengzhou, and then sent the Jinyiwei to find Wang Xing who was grazing sheep.
Zhu Di also slapped excitedly when he heard this. With this Wang Xing and Zheng Mengzhou's support, they can openly launch the banner of clearing out the Goryeo rebels. As for which side is a rebel? It depends on the final outcome!
