On December 22, the fifteenth year of Yongle, it is advisable to vote, reward, comment, and avoid urging changes.

There was still one day left before the fifteenth year of Yongle, and Li You, who had been on the road for more than a month, finally came to Shuntian Mansion.

After walking for a long time in the city, Li Yi finally couldn't help but ask, "Is the saint going to move the capital to Shuntianfu?" How come there are construction sites everywhere? ”

Choi Sung-eun, the Korean envoy stationed in Daming, saluted Li Yu and said, "Your Highness is wise, the saint is indeed going to move the capital to Suncheonfu." ”

Li Yi couldn't help but say with some envy: "The original Shuntian Mansion is already very majestic, and the saint still wants to build a new capital?" Sure enough, it's the Heavenly Empire. We are a small vassal state, and I really can't envy it. ”

Cui Chengen said: "Yes, the levy of 100,000 people can already make the whole of North Korea unable to support it, but on the construction site of the capital of Shuntianfu, more than 200,000 people have been requisitioned, which shows the strength of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Li Yu nodded, shook the snowflakes that fell on his body, and said with a smile: "However, as a country of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it honorable for me to be a vassal country?" ”

Cui Chengen said: "Yes, it is the greatest honor to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, you can't be like the Wa Kingdom, you don't even recognize the suzerain, it's just a suicide!" ”

"Wa Guo? Bring about one's own destruction? Li Yi asked, "Isn't there something that those dwarfs have done again?" ”

Cui Chengen said: "Your Highness is wise. A few months ago, dozens of Japanese robbers were captured and taken to the Imperial Palace, and now I don't know what happened, probably dead. ”

Li Yu snorted, and walked towards Honglu Temple under the guidance of Cui Chengen.

This time I went to the Ming Dynasty, not only to show my loyalty to the Ming Emperor, but also to make myself a true prince of the Joseon Dynasty.

Without the approval of the Ming Dynasty, he would not be able to become the prince of Joseon, let alone ascend the throne and sit on the throne in the future.

……

Yang Shaofeng yawned boredly and said to Zhu Zhanji: "The news can't be wrong, right?" Why hasn't this little plum come yet? ”

Zhu Zhanji said with a gloomy face: "What kid Li? He is the prince of North Korea, and he has set the prince of North Korea, what is your intention when you call him Xiao Lizi? ”

Yang Shaofeng said: "It's just that you have a lot of." ”

Zhu Zhanji looked at Yang Shaofeng, who kept fiddling with the fox fur on his body, and snorted: "You don't have much, what are you showing off?" You've been showing off your fox fur for two years, and you're not annoyed? ”

Yang Shaofeng also snorted and said, "Then what fox fur are you wearing?" My daughter-in-law made me white, and you asked your daughter-in-law to make you red? ”

Zhu Zhanji just wanted to refute, but he found the figure of Li Yi and the others opposite, so he said in a low voice: "Li Yi is here." ”

When Yang Shaofeng heard this, he looked up - okay, he was born with a big cake face, squinting eyes, and a typical Korean Oba didn't use the knife~

Gently kicked the snow and took a few steps forward, Yang Shaofeng arched his hand and said: "The Daming Hanlin Academy is waiting for Yang Shaofeng, and he came to greet the King of Zhongning of North Korea by the edict of the Great Tomorrow." ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Shaofeng pointed at Zhu Zhanji again and said, "This is His Royal Highness the grandson of my Emperor Daming, who was ordered to come to greet him with this official." ”

Li Yu, who was still bowing to Yang Shaofeng just now, turned over and dismounted directly, and bowed to Zhu Zhanji: "Li Yu, the little monarch of the lower country, meet His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Supreme Kingdom!" ”

Zhu Zhanji also dismounted, helped Li Yi up, and said with a smile: "The Lord of Zhongning is polite, no courtesy." The emperor's grandfather has already set up a banquet in the palace to wait for the Maharaja, please! ”

Flattered, Li Yi got up dizzily, and followed Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shaofeng in a daze, and then sent North Korean congratulatory gifts and badges in a daze.

Zhu Zhanji, the imperial grandson of the Ming Dynasty, was able to come to greet him, how high is this treatment? If his father is replaced by his own father, the lord of North Korea Li Fangyuan comes in person, he may not be able to have this treatment!

What surprised Li Yi even more was that His Majesty's process of Emperor Daming was very smooth, and Emperor Daming's impression and attitude towards him were very good.

What does this mean? This means that he is one step closer to the throne of the lord of Korea!

The only thing that makes Li Yu a little puzzled is that in the past, when he came to the court, he was basically received by Honglu Temple and his party, but this time the candidate in charge of the reception became a person from the ninth rank of Zhao Hanlin? The imperial grandson is just accompanied?

This is wrong, no matter how noble the Hanlin official is, compared with his dignified Korean quasi-prince, he is still a big step behind, right?

After Li Yi, who was confused, returned to the embassy pavilion, he couldn't wait to find Cui Chengen and asked, "Who is Yang Shaofeng who is waiting for Zhao Hanlin?" The Ming Emperor actually sent him to take charge of the hospitality? What's more, he left after the banquet? Didn't you take the initiative to see me? ”

Cui Chengen glanced left and right, and waited for Li Yi to signal everyone else to withdraw before he spoke: "Your Highness, that Yang Zhuangyuan is not only the second six-headed champion since ancient times, but also the righteous son of His Royal Highness the Prince of Daming. ”

Li Yi suddenly realized - this can be said.

What is the concept of the six champions, Li Yu still knows, plus Yang Shaofeng and the imperial grandson are righteous brothers, so it is even more noble.

If it is more real, the identity of others is many times higher than that of himself, and he is not a prince of the North Korean prince compared to others, it is indeed a little inadequate, and Yang Shaofeng really doesn't need to take the initiative to ask to see him.

Cui Chengen took out a stack of papers from his arms, handed it to Li You, and said, "Your Highness, I was in a hurry to enter the palace just now, and I didn't have time to let you see these materials. These are some of the places that need to be paid attention to on the side of Shuntianfu, and some of them are the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, you can look back and see. ”

After hesitating for a while, Cui Chengen gritted his teeth and said: "Especially Yang Shaofeng and Yang Zhuangyuan, he is the pure street tiger of this Shuntian Mansion, and people give him the nickname Yang Crazy, but he can't afford to provoke him." ”

Li Yi said suspiciously: "Clean Street Tiger? Isn't it the champion of the six? Seeing him today, is he quite polite? ”

"It's true that he is the champion of the six heads, but he is also the famous street tiger in this Shuntian Mansion!"

Cui Chengen said: "It is rumored that the nephew of Empress Xianrenxiao, the Duke of Wei of the Ming Dynasty, was broken because he wanted to rob Yang Zhuangyuan's concubine who did not enter the door, and shouted at the auction a few days ago, wanting to lose Yang Zhuangyuan's face.

It has been almost two months since the incident, and Shuntianfu has not been able to find a clue, and Jinyiwei has not found any clues, and now it has become a headless public case. ”

Li Yu hesitated: "How can there be no clues?" If you can't find out with the ability of the brocade guard, unless the gangster has the ability to fly away. ”

"That's right," Cui Chengen said: "According to his subordinates' opinion, it's not that Jinyiwei can't find clues, but he doesn't bother to check at all." Jinyiwei commanded Ji Gang, regarded Yang Zhuangyuan as his own nephew, and even assigned 100 Jinyiwei households to personally guard. The matter involves Yang Zhuangyuan, do you think Jinyiwei will investigate carefully?

One more thing. When Yang Zhuangyuan was in the border city, he was besieged in the city by the steppe Tartars and almost died. Later, the Son of Heaven was furious and sent King Zhao to lead 30,000 horsemen to the grassland to find the bad luck of the Tartars. ”

was said by Cui Chengen, and Yang Shaofeng's weight in Li Yu's heart suddenly became three points heavier.

After a sigh, Li Yu pondered for a long time, and said: "In this way, you will prepare a generous gift for me, and I will visit Yang Zhuangyuan first." ”

Cui Chengen nodded and replied: "It's great that Your Highness can think like this." That Yang Zhuangyuan is the righteous brother of the grandson of the Ming Emperor, and it is inevitable that there will be some places to ask for him in the future, and it is the most cost-effective to be good friends with him now. ”

However, at this time, Yang Shaofeng had already left the construction site of Shuntian Mansion and rode towards the Yang family Zhuangzi, and even the matter that had been decided to pit Li Yi earlier was thrown out of the clouds by Yang Shaofeng.

There are two days to go before the New Year, who has the time to take care of the affairs of a North Korean quasi-prince? Is it boring to stay in Zhuangzi, or is the fiancée not good-looking?

As soon as he arrived at Zhuangzikou, Yang Shaofeng turned over and dismounted, looked at a group of old men basking in the sun at the entrance of the village and said with a smile: "Second uncle, you don't want to go home yet, do you want to bask in the sun here?" ”

The second uncle's cloudy old eyes were half-open and half-squinted, and he smiled: "Sunburning, comfortable." In the affairs of the family, our group of old immortals can't help much, and the babies are not at home, they are all running around outside, what can they do without basking in the sun? ”

Yang Shaofeng walked towards Zhuangzi while leading the horse, and said with a smile: "It's strange to say that this day, it's still snowing in Shuntianfu, and our Zhuangzi hasn't fallen at all." ”

The second uncle said, "What's next?" ”

Yang Shaofeng shook his head with a smile and said, "Nothing? You go on, and then go back when you're comfortable! ”

"Oh!" The second master nodded and said, "The young master will go back early, just now the master called someone and said that he was going to kill the pig!" ”

Zhu Zhanji, who came to the Yang family Zhuangzi with Yang Shaofeng, was full of excitement and shouted: "Hurry up, you can make some dumplings for your sister-in-law later, stew some bones, and our brothers have two cups, quick!" ”

Far beyond Yang Shaofeng and Zhu Zhanji's expectations, the pig killing that the second uncle said was not Yang Shaofeng's family killing two pigs for the New Year, but the entire Zhuangzi had to kill the pigs on December 22, and Yang's father even invited many butchers from around to help.

More than a dozen butchers lined up, each with the intention of showing off their skills, and preparing early with their apprentices,

A big fat pig screaming was tied up with four hooves, the butchers entered with white knives, red knives came out, and the blood spurted out filled a large basin one by one, and then blew the pigs, shed hair, divided, and the soul of the first and second senior brothers went to Lingshan as a messenger, and the body stayed in the world to make delicacies.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but say, "It's so good." ”

Yang Shaofeng nodded and said, "Yes, that's good." In previous years, it was not easy to eat a full meal, but now there is meat to eat. ”
