Chapter 175: Poor Dao Zhang Sanfeng... I've seen Tan Yue
After more than an hour, a palace lady came out and said, "The princess asked you to go to the princess's mansion to rest first, and she will not leave the palace today." ”
Only then did Li Luo and the others relax and be considered free for the time being.
Li Luo told the princess the story of Tubo for a few days, and the woman already had three points of trust and respect for him. After all, he is also half of the teacher of this Tartar princess.
As a great Mongolian nobleman, this woman is indeed a carnivore full of anger and indifference to all living beings. But that's just her class attribute. As a natural person, she at least has the advantage of being warm and straightforward.
Intelligence analysis, she is harmful, toxic...... But there is no scheming city, and it is easy to trust others. For Li Luo, such a person is no threat.
Although Li Luo is not her retainer, he is already considered "her person", that is, the "Goryeo Hou Party".
During this time, on the road, "uncle" Li Qian told him that there were already mission officials who secretly said that Li Luo was a "post-party".
But Li Qian did not object to the "nephew" becoming a "post-party". Because, the Li family needs to have children to become the "back party". Today's Goryeo, without the gate of the queen party, hopes to be favored by the queen in order to preserve wealth and nobility.
The post-party doesn't sound beautiful, but... Doesn't it smell? Even if the "Hou Party" is equivalent to a traitor, and being labeled as a Hou Party is not far from a traitor, Li Luo doesn't care.
However, Li Luo couldn't live in the princess's mansion like the three ministers. On the one hand, he doesn't want to deal with Princess Goryeo every day, and secondly... It's inconvenient for him and Cui Xiuning to do things.
It's best to stay at the Bin Inn. With his position as the translator of the five grades of Fengjie, a small courtyard should be able to be divided. Take Cui Xiuning and his entourage to live in, don't be too chic.
The four of them went out of Ouchi, and then took a hundred cavalry out of the imperial city, and soon found the "East Post House".
There are four major post houses in the east, south, west and north. Among them, the Goryeo mission lived in the Dongyi Hall; The envoys of the Nanyang countries, the kings of the southern provinces and the envoys lived in the Nanyi Pavilion; The king of the Western Daozong and the envoys lived in the West Post House; The kings and envoys of the host and Mobei lived in the North Post House.
Dongyi Hall is the smallest, but it also covers an area of more than 20 acres and has more than 100 houses. The officials of the Goryeo mission and their families were able to live there. As for the tribute girls and eunuchs in the mission, they have been dedicated to the Yuan Court Rites Department; The legation guards were housed in barracks outside the city.
Of course, the king of Goryeo lived in the most spacious and luxurious courtyard of the Dongyi Inn, covering an area of three acres. Jin Fangqing and Li Qi, the two deputy envoys, are also two-acre courtyards.
And Li Luo, the translator of Fengjie Division, was only assigned a small courtyard of less than half an acre and three rooms.
Li Luo was already content. Because, below the fifth grade, they all live in a small courtyard.
Li Luo and Cui Xiuning lived in the main room, the right wing room was guarded by Du Lie and other four guards with knives, and the left wing room was guarded by four guards without knives.
By the time the Goryeo mission had all settled down, it was already dark.
Although Kublai Khan's birthday "Wanshou Festival" was on September 23, the day of the longevity celebration was counted on September 28 by the astronomical officials who "returned to Si Tiantai".
As a sign of respect, the Goryeo mission arrived five days early.
"In the past few days, my bones in the car are almost scattered." As soon as Cui Xiuning entered the room, he collapsed on the big kang. "No, I'm motion sickness."
Li Luo sat on the side of the kang, "A person who doesn't even get sick from the boat actually told me that she was sick in the carriage." Isn't it more comfortable for you to ride a car than I am? ”
Cui Xiuning got up and lit the lamp, and nagged: "After entering the city, I saw that this Yuan Dadu is indeed very large, lively, and crowded, and the city is still a festive taste of the emperor's birthday." However, it just doesn't feel well. ”
Li Luo said: "Are all the bearded people you see with braided hair, talking nonsense that you don't understand, so you don't feel comfortable?" ”
Cui Xiuning shook his head: "Hu Ren and nonsense, the discomfort brought by it is something that you can see and hear." Not the kind of discomfort I said. My discomfort, that feeling...... I get it now! ”
Li Luo frowned: "What?" ”
Cui Xiuning said: "This is a crime city!" Do you know Crime City? It's the smell of crime in the whole city. Many of the Mongols I saw when I entered the city, the Semu people, were what I considered criminals. ”
"What do you consider criminals?" Li Luo understood.
Cui Xiuning explained indifferently: "Many people have killed people, set fires, robbed and annihilated. That's the feeling that a lot of murderers are all coming together, and that's what it feels like to me. ”
Li Luo nodded, "I understand, it's just a group of wolves who have eaten human flesh, and what it feels like to see people." There are too many wolves that have eaten people in the capital. Even an inconspicuous old man of Tartar may have slaughtered dozens or hundreds of Han people and forcibly annihilated many Han women. ”
Cui Xiuning said: "Yes, so although most of them are very prosperous, I really hate it." Some of the Han Chinese I see today are obviously taken captive, and they are forced into slavery. ”
Li Luo said: "There are six types of people in the capital. Royalty, nobility, officials, monks, armies, slaves. There were no civilians except for them. ”
Cui Xiuning was very disdainful, "A capital city that doesn't even have ordinary people, no matter how big and prosperous it is, shouldn't exist." But I don't understand, aren't ordinary Mongols ordinary people? ”
Li Luo explained: "It's the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Mongolians are more expensive, do you know? Let me tell you, all Mongols today have a maximum population of one million, but they rule over more than 100 million Han Chinese, 5 million Koreans, 3 million Tibetans, 5 million southern minorities, 30 million Central Asian and Western Asians... The Mongols ruled directly or indirectly over 200 million people. ”
Cui Xiuning sighed, "Therefore, almost every Mongolian man, as long as he has normal civil capacity, has a position. ”
Li Luo smiled: "That's right. At least that's how it was at the beginning of the Yuan. Their population is too sparse, so the worst of the mixed are also the most senior soldiers and security chiefs. ”
Cui Xiuning changed the subject: "You entered the palace today and saw Kublai Khan, a bad uncle?" ”
"Nope." Li Luo smiled, "Where is the bad uncle so easy to see?" Even in the Birthday Hall, I can only see from afar, not up close. As for you, you don't even have a chance to look at it from afar. ”
Cui Xiuning sneered: "Then you have to work hard, one day you catch him, won't I be able to take a good look?" ”
Li Luo stood up, "Okay." I try as hard as I can. ”
Cui Xiuning asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Li Luo walked out the door, "I'll go out shopping at night." Don't go out, stay here. ”
"You take Dulie and Utu with you!"
"Madam, my province, don't worry!"
…………
There are more than 50 squares in Yuanda, and the Dongyi Pavilion, where the Goryeo mission stayed, is near Yinbinfang.
Yuanda does not have a strict curfew system, and you can come and go freely before the three bells ring in the evening (three watches). The reason is simple, because the inhabitants are mostly Mongols and certainly do not make themselves inconvenient.
In the street market, strings of lanterns are hung, although at night, there are still many cars and pedestrians.
As soon as Li Luo left the post house, he saw a Taoist reading a book by the lantern at the gate of the post house.
This person is about 30 years old, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and there should be a bit of Taoist master's breath.
And then, no.
Because, he sat on the steps and picked his feet while reading a book.
The coquettish feeling of a foot picking uncle is simply ...... Don't be too sultry.
This Taoist priest saw Li Luo come out in a beautiful official uniform, raised his eyelids, showed a perfunctory smile, lazily made a gesture, and continued to read... Pick your feet.
I'm Nima...... This is interesting.
This is the entrance of the inn, you do this...... Is it appropriate?
Li Luo said with a mocking smile: "This Dao Chief, I don't know what you have to do here?" ”
Seeing Li Luo's formal question, the Taoist priest let out a sigh that seemed to be nothing, stood up a little helplessly, and saluted: "Immeasurable Tianzun, poor Daoist Zhang Sanfeng, I have seen Tanyue officials. ”
Zhang Sanfeng...?
Li Luo couldn't help but be a little stunned. Why, on the first day I returned to the Central Plains, I met a celebrity?
