Kaiping City is a strange city.
However, for the virtuous man, all the cities of the Ming Dynasty should be unfamiliar with her, and she had never been here before.
People do not pay attention to the scenery of Kaiping City because there are larger scenes that attract the attention of the survivors of the mission.
Above the endless wilderness outside the city, there are tents and troops.The city villages are dotted on the earth, as if they have been flooded by the army!
From time to time, the sound of firecrackers sounded on the school ground, and the sound drifted in the wind; there were also strings of white smoke, which was particularly eye-catching.
Groups of war horses were galloping, and soldiers were shouting.
When people came here, the surroundings suddenly became noisy and lively.
There is no wind, flowers, snow and moon, no small bridges, no flowing water, and no pavilions.Standing outside the city tower on the horizon, there are soldiers and horses everywhere!
The virtuous man has never seen such a large army, but he can understand that it is impossible for a hundred thousand army to have such a lineup!
Soon, officials from the Ming Dynasty welcomed him, and Kang Shunchen said something in front.
During this period, Kang Shunchen also said in relatively smooth Chinese: We were attacked on the way, and our national letter was taken away by the thieves.
After a while, everything went smoothly.The team continued to move towards the city and soon entered the gate of Kaiping City.
The virtuous man could not help but be curious and quietly picked up the curtain to watch the scenery in the city.
At this time, I only saw a large area of low houses, mainly tiled houses with hard hip roofs; near the city gate, the streets and alleys were obviously boring.
The group walked along the street for a long time and came outside a yamen.
Compared with the official office of the North Korean State, the gate of this yamen is somewhat similar, or the official office of the North Korean State originally had the reason to imitate the Ming system.
They entered a yard near the yamen, and the Ming soldiers who accompanied them left.
The virtuous man was taken into the inner house, and a group of seven or eight women of different ages followed and bowed to her.
Among them, a young lady with double-ring hair tied in a low voice: Can she understand what we say?
The virtuous man-in-law was about to walk in, when Kang Shunchen and Park Jingwu rushed to the front of the gatehouse.
Kang Shunchen stepped forward to pay a visit and said in Korean: Master Weng, this is the place where the Ministry of Rites requisitioned.The six ministries of the Ming Dynasty all had temples in the local area; Ming Dynasty officials said that we were envoys of the North Korean state, so they were welcomed by people from the Ministry of Rites.The officials here also told that external officials should not enter and exit the inner house at will; lower officials and General Park cannot enter and exit easily. If you have any questions, you must come out of this gatehouse to meet.
The virtuous man said: I understand, you can rest as well.
Everyone has been on the road for so long and finally has a place to settle down.In the past two days, the clothes, seals and other items of the virtuous man were returned one after another.
Li Qi was an official of the Ming Dynasty court. He had met a virtuous master in Korea. Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty ruler believed in Li Qi, he could confirm the identity of the virtuous master without sealing the letter.
She lived in this yard for a few days, and before the Zhongyuan Festival, a fat, round-faced eunuch came.
The white-faced eunuch, accompanied by the envoy of the Korean State, paid a visit to the virtuous master in the inner house gatehouse.
Please prepare for the Lord. Today, I will go to the emperor's palace to meet the saint.The eunuch ordered.
Seeing that the sun was still in the sky at this time, the virtuous man could not help but ask in awkward Chinese words: I have learned the etiquette and answers of the time when I met the saint. I hope my father-in-law will make it clear, what else should I prepare?
The eunuch frowned and said: No etiquette is important, just don’t disobey the emperor! The old man took advantage of the early hours to cultivate for a while, and then take a shower and dress up better.
After hearing this, the virtuous man's expression changed slightly, but he nodded and agreed.
The eunuch held the whisk and said, "Our family will say goodbye. Before You hour, we will send a carriage to pick up the master."
As soon as the eunuch who was awarding the order left, Park Jingwu became anxious: What does the eunuch mean?After all, the master is a royal family in our country. Now there are no enthronements and ceremonies. Do they ask you to clean up and go to bed?!
Park Kyung-woo!Kang Shunchen scolded, pay attention to your etiquette and words.
Park Jingwu's face turned red and he said back angrily: The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was arrogant and rude, like a barbarian!
Kang Shunchen was furious and was about to speak.
The virtuous man-in-law stopped Kang Shunchen and sighed: The people around him should not understand Korean. Kang Shunchen, don’t worry too much, and don’t argue anymore.
Kang Shunchen sighed and stared at Park Jingwu and said: If the disrespectful words you just now were heard by the Ming emperor, would you know how serious it would be?This is diplomatic relations, and every word and action is related to the relationship between the two countries. Who can bear this responsibility!
The virtuous man was so angry that he was stunned for a while.
She did not tell Park Kyung-woo a big reason like Kang Soon-chen, but she said something as if irrelevant: Everyone has their own mission and responsibility, and has received favors from others, so she cannot just think about herself...
After a moment of pause, she continued, "I am very grateful for General Park's loyalty and contribution to me."But I told you a few years ago that my marriage can only be handled by my father; I asked you a few days ago if you will feel resentment...
Park Jingwu hurriedly said: The loyalty to the Master is definitely not something that he wants!However, a noble person like Master Weng actually encountered such contempt in the Ming Dynasty, and he was so angry!
The virtuous man shook his head and sighed: How noble is it?You don't know my father's situation.
Park Jingwu said: That is also the Lee clan’s clan!You cannot agree to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, but you can write a letter to advise the emperor that you must first enthrone and give a legitimate title to be in accordance with etiquette!
The virtuous man is silent.
Park Jingwu looked up and sighed in pain.
The virtuous man said seriously: General Park, the words of envoy Kang are all truths, you must obey and not miss the big things.You have always been nice to me, and I have advised you to be sensible and not to do things that are harmful to the general situation... Are you really not greedy?
Park Jingwu was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and clasped his fists and said: I will obey the order!As long as the master is well and satisfied, there will be nothing else to ask for!
The tone of the virtuous man-in-law softened a little, and he said kindly: General Park also tries his best to protect his life and death. I am really moved by your sincerity.General Park, please accept my greeting!
Park Jingwu hurriedly bowed back and nodded vigorously and said: The sacrifice of the country is really helpless.As long as you still remember the sincerity and sincerity of the last general, you will die without regrets!
The virtuous man buried his head, wiped his tears gently, and choked and said: If nothing else, I will go back to the room first.
Park Jingwu knelt on the ground, raised his head and opened his mouth in pain, and finally put on a sentence: I am incompetent and let the Lord suffer!
The virtuous man returned to the room and asked the servants to boil water and wait for the bath.
Then she spent a long time combed her hair, carefully putting on makeup, choosing accessories, and putting on a robe dress from a Korean nobleman (very similar to a high-waisted Hanfu).
Thinking of the man with thicker arms and rude words than ordinary people, the virtuous man occasionally felt that his thoughts might have been wasted.
However, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was the monarch of the most powerful and vast country at this time, and the intention of the virtuous man-in-law did not seem to be nothing.
A beautiful and sad face reflected in the bronze mirror on the dressing table, and the colorful earrings swayed gently in the light yellow copper light, becoming more and more beautiful.
She picked up the eyebrow pencil, slowly outlined her eyebrows, and couldn't help but sigh again.
The man I saw in the woods a few days ago was probably the emperor.
The virtuous man was already a little convinced. She calmed down and thought about it... She said in public that she was beautiful and asked her to spend time competing for favor, but she was not like something a minister could say!
In short, the virtuous man is in his heart.
She was not only very afraid of the great man, but also worried that the emperor would make any mistakes after she became the concubine of the Ming emperor!
After all, as soon as she arrived in the Ming Dynasty, she saw a life-and-death and confusing conspiracy.
At that time, she was in a foreign country and had a reputation and could not leave. What should she do?
At about the time of Shen, the car that welcomed the virtuous master came to the yard.
The virtuous man walked out of the inner house gatehouse in luxurious outfit and wearing a curtain covering his face.
Kang Shunchen and Park Jingwu both stood aside and bowed and saluted. The eunuchs and soldiers who were greeting her also held their fists and bowed.
The eunuch bent over and said respectfully: Master, please.
She walked to the back of the carriage with a dignified posture, turned to look at Park Jingwu again.Park Jingwu bent down and stood there, his eyes full of soreness and helplessness.
She turned around and bent down and walked onto the carriage.The servant next to him immediately put down the curtain.
After a while, the carriage drove to the Emperor's Palace.
Perhaps the palace is also a temporary requisitioned mansion, not too far from the government office.
The virtuous man-in-law sat upright in the carriage, looking straight ahead, with no expression on his face.
She didn't have time to think too much now, and was nervously preparing for how to deal with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty appropriately.
Soon the carriage stopped and the eunuch outside reported.The virtuous man stood up, the curtain was lifted open, and the two maids reached out to help her walk down.
Please come with us, Lord Weng.The fat and round-faced eunuch said.
The followers were all in their original place, and only the two of them were left walking north.They passed through a row of houses and walls, and then entered a gatehouse with guards standing by.
She observed the surrounding scenery from time to time and found that this mansion was better than many houses in the city, and she thought the owner was also a wealthy house.
The two of them walked along the eaves corridor for a while and saw a man in black robe holding a sword stopping them.
However, the man was very polite to the eunuch and even held his fists and politely: Eunuch Cao wait for a moment, and there is still someone in the priest's room.
Let's wait a little longer.The fat eunuch named Cao said with a smile, "The emperor has been very busy these two days."
The virtuous man said: Thank you for your care.
She said something and stopped talking, but she still pondered in her mind.There is still heat in early autumn, and her hands are sweating. I don’t know if it’s because of the hot weather or panic.
However, for the virtuous man, all the cities of the Ming Dynasty should be unfamiliar with her, and she had never been here before.
People do not pay attention to the scenery of Kaiping City because there are larger scenes that attract the attention of the survivors of the mission.
