Chapter 105: The Messenger

On the morning of the third day of the third month of March, Zhang Zhaohua woke up and didn't see Gao Chi, knowing that he had gone to Jishan's house to listen to the lecture, so he had breakfast by himself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause when listening to the lecturer like this, Gao Chi usually goes to the office to have dinner with a few masters, which is Gao Chi's intention to respect the teacher. Ji Shan used the meal on the big stove of the dining house, which was naturally wrong, and now the weather is also warm, and things will not get cold when they are sent over, so Zhang Zhaohua doesn't worry about it, but in the end, it is a fly in the ointment, if you can get a small kitchen in the Ji Shan Institute, it would be the best, but there was such a thing before, but it was rejected by the people in the institute, saying that the gentleman was far away from the kitchen and opened a stove in the Ji Shan Institute, but I was afraid that it would pollute the bibliography.

Zhang Zhaohua sat on the table and ate, in addition to the pastries and shortbreads that should be there, porridge and side dishes, she found that there was one more thing that she had not eaten today, and when she opened the lid, it was actually a small cup of yellow-green clear soup, and when she asked, she knew that because today was the Shangsi Festival, the birthday of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the customs of Beiping would wash the fresh shepherd's cabbage and bundle it into a small bunch, put in eggs, red dates, wind balls, and then two or three slices of ginger, boil a big pot, and the whole family will share it.

"Oh, it's boiled eggs with shepherd's cabbage," Zhang Zhaohua said suddenly: "We also eat like this in Henan, but we don't put these red dates and ginger or anything like that." ”

"The people on the stove said that eating like this can remove rheumatism, clear the fire, and prevent spring plague. Qian Mama said: "Prevention and treatment of headache and dizziness, these days the spring breeze is very big, blowing on the head and face, I didn't feel it at the time, I had a headache and dizziness at night, and there were several people who slept the next day with crooked eyes and slanted eyes, which was a stroke." ”

Zhang Zhaohua paused: "Let's do it, let the royal medical officer work hard, check and check everyone in the house, if there is a headache and brain fever, detect and treat it early, if there is a cold and stroke, you don't have to be on an errand, go back and rest for a day or two, it is considered compassionate." ”

Although Qian Mama nagged about the stroke, but Zhang Zhaohua still went out to walk around against the wind, fortunately the wind was not strong today, she took someone to fold the willow branches back and weave the willow ring, she didn't know how to make it herself, let the little girl in the yard compete to make up, these little girls who are only eleven or twelve years old are more ingenious than one another, and they can make up seven or eight kinds of tricks by flipping in their hands, Zhang Zhaohua felt novelty at a glance, and simply gave them colorful bead threads and mouse threads, only to see them full of handfuls, all with ten fingers, weaving back and forth, picking, hooking, and closing Together, hooked back and forth, and suddenly made up various patterns, which made Zhang Zhaohua amazed.

After that, Zhang Zhaohua asked them to work together to make a big rope out, because the walls in her room were empty, only a lonely wall lamp, looking at the eyes, if a festive knot rope could be added under the lamp, it would be pleasing to the eye. So in the morning, I listened to these little girls chattering and discussing the style of the knotted rope, what double line, buttons, pipa, tuanjin, cross, auspicious, 10,000 characters, panchang, caisson, diptych, bow and other knots, she couldn't tell the difference, but she still listened happily.

At noon, the wind was over, Zhang Zhaohua basked in the sun on the chair, and told the small kitchen that she wanted to eat shepherd's cabbage dumplings at noon, and the new fragrance of the shepherd's cabbage soup in the morning seemed to linger between her tongue, she didn't know if Gao Chi had eaten the new shepherd's cabbage for breakfast, and Gao Chi was about to come back when she saw the time - but it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and Gao Chi had not come back.

"Let's take a look," Zhang Zhaohua sent someone to: "Did you forget the time for the lecture?"

As a result, the person came back and said: "It was the Korean envoy who came to pay his respects, and the prince entertained the envoy in the round hall, and asked the slave to come back and tell the mother that there was no need to wait for him, just eat it yourself." ”

When Zhang Zhaohua heard this, he said, "What is it?"

The palace maid shook her head and said I don't know, Zhang Zhaohua sighed, these palace maids who came from the first batch of people still learned to read and write with Mama Qian, and they were also trained, but they are still not very useful, if this is a clever eunuch, he should have figured it out before and after, and he won't be like this.

In the round hall over there, the prince of the world spoke to the envoy with a pleasant face.

"You are a bachelor of the Art and Culture Spring Museum," Gao Chi said, "I heard that this hall is like the main hall of Beijing Zhongzhong, it is a place full of learning and famous Confucianism, and it is magnificent to want to come to the prosperity of culture and education." ”

This made the Chen Han speak fluently, and replied respectfully: "The small country hides the ugly, admires the Chinese, dresses up and is happy, obeys the Chinese system, and the heart of the transformation is endless." ”

Gao Chi smiled and said: "Dress and etiquette, cultural relics and regulations, the country is not different from China and far beyond other countries, it is commendable to be cautious and sincere." ”

After that, Gao Chi asked the North Korean Sungkyun Pavilion, which is equivalent to China's Guozijian, as well as the Xuansheng Temple to worship Confucius. And those students are all wearing Confucian scarves and shirts, which are the same as those of the students of Guozijian.

Speaking of this, the Korean envoy bowed down and said: "The spring and autumn worship of the country, the chapter and uniform are complete, the only thing missing, only Yale, the minister came to the sky, one is to ask the emperor to give the edict and seal, and the other is to please give the gift of music, for the joy of sacrifice." ”

As he spoke, he took out the note in his arms and asked Gao Chi to take a look.

When Gao Chi saw the note in his hand, he lowered his eyes slightly: "This is a national document, and it will be presented to the Department of Transportation, and the clan of the feudal state has no right to read it." ”

In the 25th year of Hongwu, Li Sung-gye abolished the Goryeo clan and set up his own army, and sent an envoy to the table, the emperor's attitude was more playful, and he replied at first: "If you can follow the way of heaven and meet the hearts of the people, you will be able to Andong Yi's people...... Soon after, Li Chenggui sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to ask for the name of the country, and got the name of the country "Joseon", so the DPRK made persistent efforts to send an envoy to thank him in the 26th year of Hongwu and returned the seal of the Goryeo royal family.

But the problem lies in the thanksgiving note presented by North Korea this time.

It is said that the emperor was very dissatisfied after reading the Korean thanksgiving note, and the official saying that there were "insulting words", and the verbal language sent by the emperor to Korea to announce the decree said: "The words under the table that you came in there are so good that you will not be taught in the future, and you will be reminded of it!"

The emperor asked Joseon not to enter the table again in the future, saying that the words "dough", which is a very strange meaning, but the North Korea thought about it and thought that it was necessary to serve the Ming Dynasty sincerely, and this note was an unabrobable etiquette, not to mention that the table should explain the details of the celebration, dismissal, thanksgiving, and tribute of the small country, and the note could not be avoided, so it was still a gift note.

As a result, in October last year, that is, five months ago, the He Zheng envoy sent by the DPRK presented the He Zheng statement, which aroused the anger of the emperor again, and this He Zheng is the meaning of congratulating Zhengdan, and the DPRK will send envoys to congratulate him on the four festivals of the winter solstice, Zhengdan, Wanshou, and Qianqiu, but he did not expect that the He Zhengzhi envoy who came in advance was detained by the emperor, and sent people to North Korea to ask for the guilt, and demanded that the author be arrested back, because this note is the same as the last time, and it contains the words of "light and humiliation".

Now this team of envoys is to send Jin Ruoheng, who originally wrote the He Zheng Table, to send the Beijing Division, and at the same time, this envoy will send a petition for guilt, and if the emperor forgives him, he will present the letter requesting the seal.

"Xiaobang lives in seclusion overseas," the envoy said very sincerely: "The sound and language are not similar to Chinese, they only learn the meaning of the text, they have learned superficially, their wording is simple, and they do not know the system of expressions, so that there are mistakes in their words, and where do they dare to deliberately humiliate and provoke them! ”

The upper class of North Korea all learn Chinese characters, at this time there is no Korean language, up to the official documents, down to the people's contracts, are all written in Chinese characters, the same text is like this, North Korea has its own language, but the writing is Chinese, so the people of the two countries come and go, and they can't understand what they say, but if they write, the meaning can be understood, so this is how the "hand talk" comes about.

Gao Chi still didn't answer: "The law is strict, and I don't have the right to read it." ”
