Chapter 217: Secret Entry

What Lin Chen didn't know was.

Although the Li family in Quanzhou is still a royal family by name.

But now on the Koryo Peninsula, another force has arisen to compete with it.

And this force is the Yi clan.

The Yi clan was an important founding minister of Goryeo and has been passed down to this day.

But a hundred years ago, a daughter of the Yi family married into the Li family and became the queen.

The Li family king at that time was a mediocre man and favored Yi family's relatives.

During his thirty years in power, he handed over almost all important positions in the court to Yi's relatives.

It is no exaggeration to say that this Yi family became the de facto ruler of the peninsula.

In his later years, King Li, who had been confused all his life, suddenly came to his senses.

He tried against all opinions and wanted to depose his eldest son with Yi family blood as the crown prince and replace his second son with the throne.

Naturally, this move made Yi Shi very dissatisfied, and she continued to resort to private tactics.

The second son of the Li family is not a simple person. He has escaped several assassinations and has also mastered the power of the pro-king side of the country to compete with the Yi family.

When Li Tang asked Goryeo to send troops to cooperate with the attack on Houjin, the two forces in Goryeo thought it was a good opportunity to please the Li Tang dynasty, so they sent their cronies to unite the army.

Hence the current confrontation.

In other words.

Among this group of Koreans, one side is the soldiers of the Li family, and the other side is the soldiers of the Yi family.

Lin Chen roughly understood the current situation on the peninsula from Jin Shangui's vague words.

Seriously.

The temple is small and the wind is strong, and the pond is shallow and there are many bastards.

certainly.

For Lin Chen, this matter had nothing to do with him.

After letting Jin Shangui prepare the matter, he took these people back to the country.

After all, the Jinzhou city defenses have been repaired, and he no longer needs to support so many people.

But don't want to.

Jin Shangui came here not only for this matter.

"General Lin, the king intends to marry his eldest daughter to Mr. Li Tang's father."

Lin Chen was startled when he heard this.

It is not new for vassal states to marry their princess daughters to the monarchs of the Central Plains.

In name, the king and father showed sympathy to the vassal, but in reality, the vassal country wanted to embrace him.

When the first emperor of Li Tang founded the Li Tang Dynasty, barbarians from all over the Central Plains also offered marriages with noble daughters.

As far as Lin Chen knew.

When the noble girl from the grassland came to the Central Plains, the late emperor did not accept her. Instead, she rewarded her to King Zhao of a different surname who surrendered military power as a show of favor.

Yes.

That's Zhao Min's biological mother.

"I have no right to make the decision on this matter."

joke.

Now that the two forces are fighting, this matter will definitely cause all kinds of trouble, and he doesn't want to worry about it.

And it stands to reason.

Jin Shangui should go to the capital to meet the saint, please tell me about this.

Only after obtaining Li Zhao's permission can the noble girl be sent to the Central Plains.

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he saw that Jin Shangui was about to say something but stopped, so he resigned and left.

"And...there's something wrong with Jin Shangui." Lin Chen narrowed his eyes as he thought of something.

According to what Jin Shangui said, Goryeo was constantly fighting among itself.

Then which force does he belong to?

certainly.

Lin Chen had no intention of caring about the situation in Goryeo far away on the peninsula. Instead, he was waiting for Li Zhao's reply to ask whether he agreed to implement the military household system in Liaodong.

However.

Jin Shangui and others were attacked a few miles away from Jinzhou.

Among the envoys and his party, only Jin Shangui survived, and he was seriously injured.

This group of assassins were caught by the Yulin Guards, but they didn't want to all commit suicide by taking poison.

Or a dead soldier? !

When Lin Chen learned about this, he understood clearly.

It seems that Jin Shangui and his party are members of the Li royal family.

And this dead warrior assassin must be Na Yishi.

The reason?

It is nothing more than worrying that the princess of the Li family will come to the Central Plains and be favored.

By then, Li Tang will definitely have an impact on the domestic situation in Goryeo!

After all, all it takes is an imperial edict from the Celestial Empire to clearly ennoble the Lee family as the King of Goryeo.

No matter how many methods Yi Shi used, it would not help.

This is righteousness and honor.

Therefore.

This Yishi just wanted to obstruct it in every possible way.

I just didn’t expect the internal fighting in Goryeo to be so bloody?

What surprised Lin Chen even more.

An imperial edict from the Ministry of Rites arrived.

"Order General Lin Chenjia to lead the army to escort Princess Goryeo to Beijing!"

Accompanying him were a group of officials from the Ministry of Etiquette.

They would all follow Lin Chen to pick up the Princess of Korea.

After all, as a vassal princess, even if she looks down on the other party and feels that she is a barbarian, she must still have enough etiquette.

Lin Chen, who learned about this imperial edict, went to visit Jin Shangui.

But he saw that although the other party was seriously ill, he collapsed on the bed.

When he saw Lin Chen arriving, his face was filled with joy.

Obviously.

Jin Shangui also learned about the imperial edict.

Lin Chen understood.

Jin Shangui and his group were the targets.

He secretly visited Chencang.

Another group of envoys had already gone to the capital.

Yishi's plan failed.

It seems so.

The second son of the Li family is indeed not a simple person.

"General Lin!"

Jin Shangui coughed and said with a pale face, "That Yi family is so crazy and driven into a desperate situation, I am afraid that he will do something treacherous and unethical!"

The implication.

This time I went to pick up the Princess of Korea, I was afraid it would be uneasy.

Lin Chen nodded slightly, but he didn't take it seriously.

but.

Jin Shangui's next words made Lin Chen interested.

"General Lin, I know that the Heavenly Soldiers are powerful in battle, but in Goryeo, there is a great master among the people who are friends with the Nayi family!"

"Grandmaster?"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard Jin Shangui's words.

Although Goryeo is remote, it also has a martial arts heritage.

This so-called grandmaster is the only innate master in Goryeo, who calls himself Fu Cailin.

After Jin Shangui said this name, Lin Chen suddenly remembered something.

This name.

It is the famous Goryeo warrior in the Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty.

In the original book, he is called the three grandmasters together with the two top masters of the Central Plains.

In this mixed world, the so-called grandmaster is a land immortal in the innate realm.

And Jin Shangui's reminder is to tell Lin Chen.

If the Yi family is desperate, they will let the innate master take action!

However.

Jin Shangui did not see the slightest solemnity on Lin Chen's face, but his eyes were still calm.

"This general knows that Envoy Jin should rest and recuperate."

Lin Chen left after saying this lightly, leaving Jin Shangui alone in the room anxious.

Soon.

The team that picked up the Goryeo princess set out from Jinzhou.

Lin Chen personally led two thousand Yulin Cavalry Guards this time, and officials from the Ministry of Rites accompanied him.

"I have long heard of General Lin's name. I am Tao Yi, currently serving as the Minister of Rites."

The official who was talking to Lin Chen with a smile was about thirty years old, and he was a funny person.

Tao Yi looked at the ghost face on Lin Chen's face, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

This general, just like the rumors, always wears a ghost face.

I never thought that it was still the same in Liaodong.

You know, he was wrapped in two layers of fur clothes, but he only felt cold hands and feet.

Wouldn't he get frostbite if he wore this iron on his face?

Tao Yi, who only thought that General Lin in front of him was a strange man, asked about the details of the Liaodong war a few days ago.

Hearing this, Lin Chen glanced at the minister.

He is a chatterbox.
