Yun Xi then stood up and asked Wang Xi, "What is Zhu Fangyuan doing in the side hall now?" ”

"When the servant brought His Royal Highness the King of the Dynasty over just now, His Royal Highness the King of the Dynasty saw a cabinet full of books and asked the servant if he could read the book. The slave told her that she could, and he asked the little eunuch who was cleaning the side hall to take a copy of the Chinese and sit down in his seat to read it. The servant repeatedly asked him to sit on the arhat bed, and he sat down. Wang Xi replied.

"Chinese"? The one he read? It won't be Gou Jian's destruction of Wu, right? Yun Xi smiled meaninglessly.

"Slave look, it's the fifteenth Lan Yin of Chu who is about Wu to be killed." Wang Xi didn't know a few words, but he remembered that it was the fifteenth in Chu language, and after coming out of the side hall, he specially asked how to read those words.

"Is he admonishing me?" Yun Hee couldn't make up his mind. This paragraph of Chu is written that Zixi, the minister of Chu, talked about Wu with Lan Yinqing, and Lan Yinqing said that you don't have to worry about Wu, and Wu will die under the governance of Fucha. In the thoughts of some Wenchen, they have a bad husband; Of course, those who support Yun Xi say that it is a closed style.

"But Zhu Fangyuan is not a courtier of Daming, and it is impossible to say that he is loyal to Daming." Yun Xi couldn't determine what Zhu Fangyuan meant, and no matter what Zhu Fangyuan meant, it didn't matter, so he didn't want to do it, and ordered a little eunuch to go to the Tai Hospital again.

After a short time, the little eunuch came back and said, "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Zhang said that it will take a quarter of an hour for the medicine to be decoctioned. ”

Yun Xi waved his hand to let him stand down, walked over and straightened his clothes, got up and went to the side hall where Zhu Fangyuan was.

Zhu Fangyuan was sitting on the Luohan bed reading a book, when he suddenly heard the little eunuch say: "Your Majesty has arrived!" Hurriedly got up and saluted Yun Xi who walked in on.

Yun Xi hugged him and said with a smile: "Brother Fang Yuan doesn't need to be polite. At this time, I am not receiving you during the tribute, but getting along with each other on weekdays, and there is no need to be polite. ”

"The minister doesn't dare to be the title of His Highness." Zhu Fangyuan said again.

"Hey, on weekdays, I always call them brothers when I get along with the prince of Zong, according to the etiquette system, you are the prince, similar to my brother, how can you not be called this title?"

"The minister is the king of the outside, how can he stand side by side with the Prince of Daming."

"Both Han Chinese and Koreans are my people, how can they claim to be the kings of foreign countries? In my opinion, you are like a clansman. ”

Zhu Fangyuan still shirked, and Yun Xi saw that he was resolutely unyielding on this issue, so he didn't mention it anymore, and said to him: "I just asked someone to ask the imperial doctor, and the medicine you decocted will take a quarter of an hour to be cured." It just so happens that I am very curious about the characters of North Korea, so let's sit down and talk. ”

Zhu Fangyuan didn't dare not agree, and sat down to talk about the characters of North Korea.

Because of its close relationship with the Central Plains Dynasty in history, North Korea's culture was deeply influenced by the Central Plains Dynasty, but because it has been an independent country for a long time, it has its own characteristics.

However, there are not many unique features, mainly to say that the development of dance and porcelain is slightly unique. Speaking of dancing, Yun Xi remembered something and said, "I remember that when Hongwu was twenty-nine, you brought a team to the capital and performed the traditional Korean repertoire for me. ”

"At that time, the performance for His Majesty was "Frost Flower Shop", which was not a very old play, but was choreographed during the Goryeo period. That opera is the best opera in my North Korea, and all the Ming envoys who have been to North Korea like it very much. However, in the past two years, a new play has been written, which is very popular in our country. Zhu Fangyuan said with a little regret: "Your Majesty, it's a pity that the ministers came to Daming in a hurry this time, so they didn't bring my North Korean dancers." Otherwise, you will be able to let Your Majesty see this opera. ”

"It's nothing if you don't watch opera." Yun Xi said.

Zhu Fangyuan did not answer, and talked about other cultural characteristics and scenic spots in North Korea. Gyeongbokgung Palace is not mentioned, though. First, he is not as big as the face of his descendants, and he is embarrassed to blow a small dilapidated palace as if it is unparalleled in the world, and on the other hand, as the king of the foreign country, if the palace is too gorgeous, there is a suspicion of overstepping the system, and if it blows too much, he will lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

Yun Xi finally heard him mention that he and Li Chenggui father and son destroyed Buddhism and rejuvenated Confucianism on the Korean Peninsula, and praised: "You did a good job." Naturally, Buddhism and Taoism also have their uses, but it is not a good thing that they are so powerful in Korea at that time. ”

"My father also had the same meaning as His Majesty, so he forced many monks to return to the laity and confiscate the temple property to the landless people." Zhu Fangyuan said.

After he finished speaking, Yun Xi said: "Brother Fang Yuan, I sound that the gentry and people of the Korean State are the same as the Ming Dynasty, but the language is slightly different. As for the customs, the customs of the Ming Dynasty are also different, and the porcelain and the porcelain are not the same. The difference between the Korean people and the people in the Daming Hebei and Shandong regions is not as great as the difference between the people of Shandong and the people of Guangdong. ”

"What's more, now North Korea also conducts imperial examinations, and it is no different from the Ming Dynasty."

North Korea is known as Little China, and if the domestic scholars heard Yun Xi say this, they would definitely be very happy, but Zhu Fangyuan has always been wary of Daming, and he only softly echoed and did not agree.

Yun Xi didn't care either, and said to him: "Since North Korea has also implemented the imperial examination, and the Ming Dynasty has also implemented the imperial examination, it is better to have the same imperial examination system as North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, okay?" ”
