The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 292 The Imperial Seal
Thinking of this, he sighed, feeling as if he had aged ten years.

When Boyarunhai saw Kökö Temür in this state, his heart clenched.

He glared angrily at Zhu Xiong Ying.

At this moment, Zhu Xiong Ying ignored his gaze with disdain.

"You should be thinking about what you should do now. I'm giving you one last chance by letting you stay by Princess Qin's side. Since you don't want to stay in that place, I think this place is quite suitable for you. From now on, you can stay here. I'll talk to Princess Qin about it!"

After saying this, Zhu Xiong Ying flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Kökö Temür, who was standing to the side, hurriedly spoke up.

"Wait, Your Highness, Boyalun Haibie is still young. Please don't take offense at her. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to take her into your household?"

"I don't ask that he become rich and powerful in the future. I'll be content as long as he can live a peaceful life!"

At this moment, Kökö Temür's eyes were full of pleading, a stark contrast to his former self as the Great Yuan Qi King and the last great general of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and said after hearing this.

"Some things are fine, but what I value most is profit. If it doesn't bring me any benefit, I'll keep it; it's probably useless!"

At this moment, Kökö Temür took a deep breath.

"There is something that His Highness the Crown Prince might be interested in. What do you think of the value of the Imperial Seal of the State?"

Upon hearing the words "Imperial Seal of the State," Zhu Xiong Ying frowned.

"The Imperial Seal of the State is quite interesting. I wonder which one you mean by the national imperial seal? If it's the one from your Yuan Dynasty, then there's no need for that. That thing is already in my hands!"

However, upon hearing this, Kökö Temür shook his head and said...

"I know you don't care about that, so the national imperial seal I'm talking about is something else that you all care about more!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiong Ying frowned. If that's the case, it seems that's the only way. He never expected that the thing was in Kökö Temür's hands.

Legend has it that this thing has been missing since the Song Dynasty. I never thought it would reappear this time. Although I don’t care about such things, it is still a good thing. Thinking of this, he nodded.

"If we have this, it might be able to save his life. Of course, it can only save his life. If someone is courting death, then don't blame me!"

Kökö Temür nodded upon hearing this. After he left, Boyarnhaibe looked at Kökö Temür with a puzzled expression.

"Father, why should we hand over the Imperial Seal to him? Even His Majesty wouldn't know if this thing fell into our hands. We can still win. If we hand it over to him, wouldn't that be acknowledging the legitimacy of their Ming Dynasty?" Kökö Temür sighed as he looked at his daughter.

"We have no chance of winning anymore. We used to have a powerful army, which is why we were able to maintain our rule. But now we have been driven back to the north, and after these battles, our strength has been almost completely worn down, and our army is in ruins!"

"We have no chance of winning if things continue like this, so continuing to fight will not do us any good. All I want now is for you to be safe and sound!"

"Don't think about anything else!"

"I believe that the Ming Dynasty cannot remain strong forever. Perhaps one day they will decline, and that will be a good opportunity for us to continue our conquest of the world!"

Bo Yalun Haibie was extremely unwilling. By that time, he didn't know how many generations had passed. At this moment, a look of struggle appeared in his eyes.

"Isn't there any other way?"

Upon hearing this, Kökö Temür shook his head and sighed. It wasn't that he had no way out, but the gap in strength between the two sides was simply too great. Unless they could possess weapons like those of the Ming Dynasty, he had a thought: even if they did possess such weapons, they might not be of much use. After all, they were inferior to the Ming Dynasty in both national strength and population. Unless the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, but the Ming Dynasty had not had any incompetent rulers for the past three generations, which was what made him despair. Under such circumstances, it was harder than climbing to heaven for them to prosper. At this moment, Boyalunhaibie was still in a daze, seemingly unable to accept this fact. Seeing his daughter like this, he took a deep breath.

Hopefully, he won't do anything rash, otherwise, if he angers the Ming Dynasty, the consequences will be unimaginable. After some discussion in Japan, Prince Qi and Wu Zhen will lead troops to stay in the Ming Dynasty to contain the Japanese army, while the main force will be led by Prince Jin Zhu Gang and Marquis of Jiangyin Wu Liang to go to Goryeo and conquer it first.

As a hub connecting Mongolia and Japan, Goryeo would completely sever the connection between the two sides if it were to fall to them.

If they want to form an alliance by then, it will be harder than climbing to heaven.

At this time, the King of Goryeo learned that, under the urging of the leader of the Tuohuo Chi tribe, the three families had finally formed an alliance.

At this moment, he was extremely happy. He had been worried about being attacked by the Ming army, but he estimated that the combined strength of the three tribes was extremely powerful, so he didn't need to worry about that at all. If the Ming really did attack him, he would have many allies to help him. Thinking of this, he felt that he could rest easy.

Therefore, he did not deploy many troops on the border. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was embroiled in a battle with Japan, so how could it possibly attack him at this time? However, if he could attack the Ming Dynasty and force it to sue for peace, he might be able to gain more benefits.

After having this idea, he felt excited and increasingly believed that he might actually be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty. With this in mind, he allocated a lot of funds to his men to build large warships in preparation for any eventuality. At this time, the armies of Prince Zhu Gang of Jin and Marquis Wu Liang of Jiangyin had quietly arrived at the port of Jeolla Province in Goryeo.

When they arrived, they were surprised to see the army building warships on a large scale.

Is this a warship?

"Why do they look so small? These boats aren't even as big as the fishing boats from the Ming Dynasty!"

"These people really can't stand it anymore," Prince Zhu Gang of Jin said disdainfully.

"I've heard Xiong Ying mention that Goryeo always thought of itself as a great power. When it encounters a powerful country next to it, it feels inferior, but as long as it achieves even a little bit of success, it becomes extremely arrogant!"
