The North Korean envoy Kim Changji complained to Wang Shangli: "General Wang, you don't know how hard it is for us errand runners!" It's okay to say that this part of our journey in North Korea is okay, especially after crossing the Yalu River, everywhere we went, on the surface, there were post stations that received us, but in fact, that post station ——,! ”

"What's wrong?" Wang Shangli glanced at Jin Changji with his eyes.

Jin Changji continued to complain, his voice was a little low: "After we entered Huaxia, it is true that there is a special person responsible for our safety, but the post stations set up for us along the way have been in disrepair for many years, dilapidated, not only lack doors and windows, there are some post stations, not even a complete earthen wall, the post stations we went to, not only did not have firewood for making fires, and some places did not even have drinking water. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Wang Shangli was skeptical.

Jin Changji complained: "The post stations everywhere are managed by your local government offices, and we have nothing to do with them, so they don't have the heart to consider the problem of repairing the post stations because they let the post stations be abandoned, which is the reason why many post stations are deserted and collapsed." ”

Wang Shangli said: "You should report this problem to us as soon as possible, and we will coordinate with the local yamen for you." ”

Kim Chang-ji continued: "Not only are the houses we live in in dilapidated, but they also demand high fees from us, as well as our North Korean specialties. ”

Wang Shangli comforted: "We will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and improve the environment of the post stations along the way." Hey, but I'll tell the emperor about this matter. You can rest assured that after our railway is built in the future, you will not have to suffer this and you will be able to take the train to pay tribute. ”

"I hope so!"

After Jin Changji left, Wang Shangli immediately sent a telegram to the emperor, reporting what Jin Changji had said.

……

Gao Junshan received a telegram from Wang Shangli, and he immediately sent a telegram back to Wang Shangli, with the following message:

The call has been received. The DPRK is a vassal state of China, and please do not forget this, and we will not be able to promise him whatever he asks. Some time ago, they actually asked me for the right to manage Ezo Island, if it were you, would you agree to give it to him? I don't have this right, Ezo Island has been my Chinese territory since ancient times.

As for the problems with the station, I have learned some information through the General Affairs Bureau, the problem is not as serious as you said, and the problem is also an isolated phenomenon, not the whole station, you can tell them that I have issued an order to allocate funds for some stations that need to be repaired.

Forget about the so-called high expenses, which of our Chinese people is short of money to spend? To get by asking for their stuff? The Chinese people are all entitled to adequate subsidies.

The train you mentioned, I think it doesn't hurt to agree to them, after all, it is not easy for them to come all the way to our China, and we have to do our best to be a landlord.

Finally, I will tell you very seriously that the annual tribute of the DPRK must be had, which is a very sacred ceremony, and even if we do not look down on those tributes, the process of their tribute shows the subordination between our two countries.

You can properly knock them and put away your greedy desires, or else, I will take back the custody of this state.

Sending this telegram, Gao Junshan returned to the dining room.

In the dining room, Ruan Fangqing had been waiting for Gao Junshan to have lunch.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and eat! The concubines are hungry! Ruan Fangqing said delicately.

Gao Junshan put a telegram manuscript paper on the dining table, he sat down on Ruan Fangqing's left, Ruan Fangqing picked up the telegram manuscript on the table, and complained: "How can this thing be placed on the dining table?" The concubine will put it back in the cupboard for you. ”

As she spoke, she got up and walked over to the side of the cabinet, which was a camphor wood bookcase, this bookcase had only two floors, double doors, and the cabinet was not locked. She walked to the side of the cabinet, opened half of the cabinet door, and opened a drawer on the upper floor, which contained some drafts, Ruan Fangqing had handled this kind of telegram manuscript for Gao Junshan more than once, so she put the manuscript paper in with ease, and then pushed the drawer in, closed the cabinet door, and returned to Gao Junshan's side.

Gao Junshan's stomach was also hungry, and when he was about to eat lunch, he received a telegram from Wang Shangli, and he had to call Wang Shangli back in time, so it was delayed for a long time.

Gao Junshan eats fragrant rice and duck rice, Siamese fragrant rice, and Nan'an's duck, plus he is hungry again, so it tastes particularly fragrant.

Ruan Fangqing sat down to eat with Gao Junshan, she saw Gao Junshan gobbling up, and knew that he was hungry, so she didn't disturb his appetite and let him eat to his heart's content.

Although Ruan Fangqing was also hungry, she was young after all, she maintained the demeanor of a concubine, and did not gobble up like Gao Junshan.

After Gao Junshan finished eating a bowl of rice, Ruan Fangqing only ate a small half bowl, she stopped chewing and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to add rice?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "This rice is really fragrant, bring me a big bowl!" ”

Ruan Fangqing put down the rice bowl for food and accommodation, got up and went to add food to Gao Junshan, and after adding rice and coming back, she began to chat with Gao Junshan: "Your Majesty, this afternoon the Yangon Grand Theater began to stage "The Legend of the West Chamber", and the concubine is going to watch it with Zhou Ruozhou and Ma Xinyue, will you go?" ”

Zhou Ruozhou is Zhou Wenjiang's daughter and Sun Dahai's daughter-in-law, Ma Xinyue is Ma Jinzhong's daughter and Liu Wenxiu's daughter-in-law. Watching the drama is not interesting to Gao Junshan at all, he hopes that Ruan Fangqing will have more contact with Zhou Ruozhou to see what abnormal phenomena Zhou Ruozhou has after Zhou Wenjiang died.

"I won't go, if you want to see you, go by yourself, and let Li Derong send someone to protect you." Gao Junshan said while eating fragrant rice.

Ruan Fangqing said: "If the emperor doesn't go, don't trouble Li Derong, the concubine is originally a common person, and no one will murder the concubine." ”

Gao Junshan said: "It's not up to you to have the final say, I will send plainclothes to follow you secretly, aren't you going to go with Zhou Ruozhou and Ma Xinyue?" ”

"We've already said we'll go together."

Gao Junshan lowered his voice and said to Ruan Fangqing: "I give you a task. ”

"Still have a task to watch a play?"

"During this time, you have been walking around with Zhou Ruozhou a lot, her father has only died not long ago, and she must feel uncomfortable, you can comfort and comfort her, but don't say that it is me."

"That's the task, huh?" Ruan Fangqing thinks this task is too simple.

Gao Junshan said: "Let you contact Zhou Ruozhou more, comfort her is secondary, the main task is to observe whether there are any fluctuations in her thoughts, his father was ordered to be executed." ”

Ruan Fangqing said: "The concubine understands what the emperor means, and the concubine will definitely complete the task assigned by the emperor." ”

Gao Junshan instructed: "Don't be too obvious in front of Zhou Ruozhou, pretend to be natural." ”

Ruan Fangqing said with a smile: "Don't pretend to be a concubine, the concubine really cares about Zhou Ruozhou, and then, by the way, complete the task assigned by the emperor." ”

Gao Junshan asked, "What time are you going in the afternoon?" ”

This sentence reminded Ruan Fangqing, and she exclaimed: "Suffer! Suffer! We made an appointment to wait at the gate at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and now the time is almost up. ”

She got up and was about to leave.

Gao Junshan said: "You haven't finished your meal yet!" ”

"Don't eat, don't eat, the concubine brings something to eat in the theater." Ruan Fangqing said, walked to the backyard, and called her maid to go out together.

Gao Junshan did not forget to let Li Derong send someone to secretly protect him. ()
