The highest grade restaurant in Jinling City, is the sixteenth floor of the Hongwu Emperor's decree, these sixteen restaurants, all are high base heavy eaves, golden splendor, most of the shops have the plaques and poems inscribed by the famous calligraphers or famous scholars of the world. On the 16th floor, the Guest House and the Retranslation Building are the favorite places for foreign envoys living in the Huitong Pavilion.

At this moment, three people entered the guest building slowly. They are the three Korean envoys stationed in Jinling, the crown clothes are completely imitated by the Ming Dynasty, except for the lack of complements, the rest are exactly the same, plus the appearance is also average, and they speak fluent Chinese, if it is not for the second child of this restaurant to recognize them, they may not be able to recognize them as foreigners.

They are frequent visitors here, as soon as they arrive here, Xiao Er naturally welcomed them into the private room they are accustomed to, there are the best songs nv, dancing girls, and jiāo Niang of shì wine, but the three of them did not call nv people to accompany shì, as long as a few light side dishes, a jar of wine, sent Xiao Er out, while listening to the silk music singing from the next compartment, while chatting.

Li Weiqing said: "Some time ago, I heard that the emperor went on an expedition to Annam, and the people of Annam were killed, and there was no invincible. Now that the emperor is bound to raise troops again, what do you think will happen in this battle? ”

Deputy envoy Han Yi said: "Annan is just another defeat, with the strength of the Ming Dynasty's armed forces, to destroy this small country, can An be invincible?" ”

Deputy envoy Li Yongliang twisted his beard and said: "There is no objection to the defeat of Annan. However, in the wild land of Annam, the barbarians occupy the time, place, and people, and the emperor can defeat them, but he cannot subdue them. In my opinion, the people of Annam are defeated today, will fall tomorrow, and will rebel the day after tomorrow. Cycle after cycle, the emperor is deep in mud, and the Ming army will be exhausted. In the past, the Great Sui was rich and strong, but it was not weaker than today, and it was attacked three times in Goryeo, and the people were angry and resentful, and the people were not able to make a living. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not aim at encroachment. If it still ends up like that, how can it be that it is now an inner county? ”

When Li Weiqing and Han Yi heard this, they both gloated and laughed.

North Korea is the most respectful to the Ming Dynasty among all the countries, this is because they are the closest to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty's national strength is too strong to be tamed, not that they are willing to be slaves in their bones. On the one hand, they admired the Central Plains civilization. Follow suit everywhere, proud of learning Chinese characters and wearing Hanfu, but the inferiority complex in their bones, coupled with the Central Plains Dynasty's slave servants to them, made them deeply hostile to the Ming Dynasty.

For example, Zhu Di followed the rules of the Yuan Dynasty and asked for virgins and eunuchs from North Korea to serve as palace nv and inner shì. Although the will only says that there will be a few people. But the people below naturally don't dare to do it just literally. When the envoy arrived in Korea, he ordered the king of Joseon to ban marriages throughout the country, and mobilized the people, and dispatched various inspection divisions, large and small order-keeping officials, and village officials, to take turns to select them in two shifts a day. Finally, it was sent to the capital and then chosen by the envoy, and the parents of the chosen ones cried like a funeral.

Another example is that two years ago, Zhu Di ordered North Korea to pay tribute to young eunuchs. The decree did not say how much, but the king of Joseon asked the envoy, and the envoy said, "Three or four hundred!" The king of Korea said helplessly: "There is no seed for this thing, how can there be many?" "Although the prison sāo is issued, I still have to bite the bullet to complete the task. At the same time, some of the envoys who went to Korea to proclaim the decree were of noble character and very self-disciplined, but there were also many who took the opportunity to act as a prestige. Those who demanded all kinds of benefits, even slightly unsatisfactory, whipped the DPRK officials, and really treated them as slaves, naturally aroused the extreme dissatisfaction of many people in the DPRK.

This Li Yongliang is a foreigner. When Taizu was in the past, he was an envoy to the Ming Dynasty. The first time I went to the court to see the driver. Li Yongliang trembled, and when he saw the crouching tiger-like Zhu Yuanzhang, he was so shocked that his face was blue and he trembled. Lao Zhu was furious, thinking that his kneeling posture was not correct and his buttocks were crooked, so he asked someone to drag him down and beat him on the buttocks, and he raised him on his stomach in the pavilion for more than two months, almost dying.

Therefore, at this time, I saw that Daming was entangled in the small country of Annan in a remote corner, and he was extraordinarily gloating. Of course, if there is a Ming person in front of them at this time, they will never dare to make such remarks and demeanors, and they will definitely be filled with righteous indignation and show more loyalty and patriotism than the Ming people.

The three of them laughed for a while, and Li Weiqing frowned and said: "However, when Taizu was there, he listed Annan as a country that was not to be conquered, and warned the grandson of Jianwen at that time not to 'rely on wealth and strength, to make war achievements', and to 'not govern Yidi', and the current emperor is so happy that he will do the opposite. Today, I will sit back and watch Annan's jokes, if there is a slight rudeness in our country in the coming days, the Son of Heaven will ask the guilt, what can I do? ”

Han Yi and Li Yongliang both had relatives on their faces when they heard this, and they felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

After a long time, Han Yicai said: "I thought that this matter should also be given to the king." To His Majesty the Emperor, our country should be sincere, respectful, not disobedient, bow your head and bow your eyebrows, in order to preserve. However, it is also necessary to strengthen the fortress, store food and wages, and train soldiers and horses to prevent accidents! ”

Li Yongliang said repeatedly: "It's extreme, it's extreme!" ”

Li Weiqing pondered for a moment, nodded heavily, and said: "Well, what the two adults said is reasonable, when I go back today, I will repair a book and repay the king!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

When the three Korean envoys were nervous about the Ming Dynasty's power over Annan, singing and dancing were going on in the next room.

In the large private room next door, there are several adults at the moment, enjoying singing and dancing, talking and laughing.

These are Xie Jin, the first assistant of the cabinet, Hu Guang, a scholar of the cabinet of his son-in-law, Huang Zhen, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhang Xitong, a member of the Ministry of Rites, and Xue Lu Xue Dudu, who is said to have an umbrella when it rains, otherwise the rain will go to the head a little. These people were all invited by Xia Xun.

Huang Zhen was a Beijing official, who stayed in Liaodong for a long time, and went one step further after returning to the capital, replacing Wu Youdao, who was due to illness, and became the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and really became the second-in-command of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Ming Dynasty.

And Zhang Xitong can be regarded as a successful speculation, thinking that when Xia Xun pretended to be an envoy of Shanhou State and settled in the Honglu Temple Huitong Pavilion, this Lord Zhang was still an official of the Honglu Temple Guest Office, an official of the ninth grade, such as a fake sesame mung bean official, now squatting in Liaodong for three years, as soon as he returned to Beijing, he was a member of the Ministry of Rites, from Wupin, and a local prefect can also be on an equal footing.

They have just returned to Beijing not long ago, Liaodong can be said to be Xia Xun's beginning, by their advocacy perfect, now they are back, Xia Xun set up this reception banquet, one is to celebrate their promotion, and the other is also a kind of encouragement to the old subordinates, as for Xie Jin and others, that is to accompany the guests, they are all friends, drink together, get together.

Of course, Xia Xun wants to use this as a cover, is to discuss a way to prevent the King of Han from taking command, and the war depends on the martial arts, this kind of intrigue is still handy for the officials, this time they came back from Liaodong at the right time, but this is inconvenient to say.

Although Xia Xun was a guest, his status was high, and it was not appropriate to wait for the guests first, so these guests arrived first, and before the wine and food were delivered, the restaurant first presented eight cold dishes and eight fruit fruits, and sent them good tea to drink first.

Xia Xun hadn't arrived yet, and among the people present, Xie Jin had the highest status, and a few officials next to him stammered, and Xie Jin's crazy xìng came up. Seeing that Xia Xun had not arrived, he became the master of the house, first called people to sing and dance, and relieved his boredom.

The first to come up was a thirteen-year-old little girl, born with a three-point smile without opening her sandalwood mouth, Rong Ruo Xiaohe first came out of the water, that body jiāo small exquisite, incense fan pendant general powder nèn cute. A face with bright eyes and bright teeth, showing sè can be eaten. The little girl was dressed in a well-fitting emerald shirt, holding an ivory board in her hand, and sang a little song to the adults first, and won a full house.

Xie Jin, who has always been an alcoholic, opened his mouth, first poured himself slightly drunk, and after listening to the little girl's singing, he said with a smile: "The singing voice is soft, and the witty words are clear, which is indeed wonderful." Little lady, what is Fang Ming'er called? ”

The little girl smiled at him, and said in a voice: "Back to the eldest master, the little NV is called Pearl." ”

"Oh...... Oh...... pearls? ”

Xie Jin picked up an ivory chopstick, looked at it on the wine cup, and said in a loud voice: "A pearl is round and round, and you are the first to treasure it." In the future, if you encounter a diamond diamond, it is not worth a penny. ”

This sentence is ridiculous and cheap, originally, when the head of the court like him, how could he put this sè entertaining trick in his eyes, a few people next to him burst into laughter, Hu Guang smiled and said: "We are a scholar of the university, thank you yet?" ”

The little girl is young, and most of the guests who come here are Sven, even if there are such frivolous ones, but they only take advantage of their bodies, and they have never humiliated them like this, so they are very angry. She bit her mouth lightly, tears swirled in her eyes, but she didn't dare to attack, and after listening to Hu Guang's words, she had to give a salute and whispered: "Thank you, master!" ”

Pearl retreated in shame and humiliation, and returned to the singing and dancing class with tears in her eyes, a tall girl, wearing a peacock dress, dressed in a charming posture and about to go to the stage of singing and dancing, saw her appearance, couldn't help but smile and asked: "Yo, who made us Pearl unhappy?" ”

Pearl's tears suddenly fell like pearls, and she told the girl about it again and again, and the girl raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said angrily: "I didn't expect that the dignified scholar was so rude, if I got the opportunity, I would have humiliated him!" After that, he hugged the little girl again, and said softly: "Pearl is good, don't cry, like me and other identities, any kind of embarrassing scene is inevitable, people bully us, don't bully ourselves!" ”

Pearl wiped her tears and nodded obediently.

At this moment, Xia Xun and Xu Jingchang arrived side by side and were climbing the stairs.

P: It's three more, and then ask for a monthly pass and a recommended ticket!。
