Chapter 493: Sprout
As an emperor, the supreme of the Ninety-Five, it is inevitable that he will become a loner.
As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, but if this tiger is played by Hou Xuan, I am afraid that the fear of the courtiers will be greatly reduced.
When Hou Xuanyan, who was a little red-faced, came out of Wufu, a group of Korean envoys came from outside Jinling City, and Li Dejiu and his son swept away North Korea under the protection of Hu Bawan's army.
At this time, North Korea no longer has the strength to compete with him, and it can be said that there is no strength to compete with Hu Bawan. Now that it is the end of the year, Li Dejiu told his son before leaving that he must spend the New Year in Jinling. For them, there are no enemies in Korea, and canonization is a matter of time, and there is no hurry. Only to please today's son is the most important thing.
Hu Bawan slaughtered Sukh Saha and his 10,000 horsemen in Busan, and there was no such instability in the country, and Japan on the other side of the river, like himself, was a vassal state canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and Korea was finally stabilized. Looking around, there were no more enemies, and Li Dejiu's father and son were ambitious and ready to lead the troubled Koreans out of the predicament.
The number of the Korean mission was really quite large, and the leader of the team was Li Zhuolin, the son of Li Dejiu, and the gifts he brought were thirty-eight carriages, and after arriving in Jinling, he lived in the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites, waiting for the emperor to summon him.
After Hou Xuanyan returned to the palace, Xiao Li Zi asked diligently: "Your Majesty, where to rest?" ”
Hou Xuanyan pointed at his hand in a daze, and he didn't know where he was referring to, the eunuchs and palace maids looked at his fingers, and Xiao Lizi put the dust on his arm, and shouted: "Your Majesty is coming to Ruhui Palace, go and report it." ”
For example, in the Chuyun Garden of the Painting Palace, the palace people were busy, sweeping the couch and incense, only Gu Ling'er pinched the corner of her clothes and was at a loss.
Since the last time she was favored in the Spring and Palace, this little girl has been a little unable to look directly at her husband, but fortunately, although she is not a top student, the two maids are full of experience.
Taking off his boots and socks to sober up the soup, Hou Xuanyan was like a giant baby, and was arranged to sleep well in the fragrant quilt.
It wasn't until the slight snoring sounded that Gu Ling'er dared to walk to the side of the bed and look at the sleeping Hou Xuanyan. After a while, I didn't know what I thought, but my pink face turned red, like a peach blossom, gorgeous and fragrant. The slender Rou Yi poked out the sleeves of her robe, gently held Hou Xuanyan's big hand, and stayed by his side like this.
Xiaoxiao and Ji'er showed a relieved expression, and gently withdrew with the palace maids in the hall, the north wind outside the hall made a sound similar to a low roar, and the smokeless beast charcoal in the hall was as warm as spring.
In a blink of an eye, it was dusk, Hou Xuanyan felt a little depressed, and got up, but saw Gu Ling'er squatting on the edge of the collapse next to him, his little head pillowed his big hands, sleeping sweetly.
The light gauze lamp in the room, the light **, the illuminated Gu Ling'er is bright and beautiful. Hou Xuanyan smiled and slowly withdrew his hand, Gu Ling'er opened her hazy sleepy eyes in fright, just in time to see a familiar smiling face, and habitually got into Hou Xuanyan's arms.
An inexplicable sense of steadfastness filled Gu Ling'er's little heart, and she put her head in Hou Xuanyan's arms, her long eyelashes staring without blinking. Hou Xuanyan's snort was thick and smelled of wine, and Gu Ling'er was not afraid of smoking.
Hou Xuanyan rubbed his eyes, stretched his waist, and said: "I took a nap, it's all this hour, people say that the deceased is like this, and I don't deceive me." ”
Gu Ling'er put her ear in Hou Xuanyan's arms, clearly heard the sound of his stomach growling, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is hungry, let's eat here." ”
Hou Xuanyan laughed, got up and clapped his hands, Xiaoxiao walked in with a plump body, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you awake?" ”
Hou Xuanyan glared at her and said, "Let the imperial dining room get some food, let's eat it here, after speaking, he picked up Gu Ling'er by the waist and held it in the air like when he was a child." ”
Gu Ling'er giggled, and went back to her childhood in a trance, when she still called him husband, and she ate and slept like this every day.
Early the next morning, Hou Xuanyan dragged his somewhat tired body to the Fengtian Hall to meet the North Korean envoy.
Although the immature girl has a unique flavor, after all, it is not as comfortable as the long-term wind and moon, Hou Xuanyan was not very refreshing after a night, and he was tired of himself.
Lying on the dragon chair, he accepted the worship of hundreds of officials, and the inner attendant announced that the Korean envoy entered the palace.
Li Zhuolin came to Jinling once, or was shocked by the majesty and majesty of the imperial city, and carefully ascended the palace to salute, and last night they made a prophecy again, so as not to be rude and embarrassed in front of the palace. So after Li Zhuolin knelt down and bowed easily, he waited for Hou Xuanyan's questioning.
Hou Xuanyan sat up straight and sneered: "You North Korea has been in many wars in recent years, although Li Qi is to blame, but I still love the innocent people when I think about it. If not, with the evil deeds of Jinan Mansion at the beginning, I would like to wipe out your small island. Since your father and son have repented and overthrown Li Juan, the mediocre lord of the country, they should take it as a warning. Restrain the people, educate the locality, and make everyone know the etiquette.
In the Renchen War, the Ming Dynasty had the grace of rebuilding Korea, so that the people of North Korea were saved from being exterminated by the Japanese soldiers. It has only been a few decades, and the people of that year are still there, and it is simply appalling that there will be a situation in which the North Korean soldiers help the Qing soldiers to slaughter our Jinan. ”
Li Zhuolin did not expect that the emperor would bring up this matter again, and his attitude was very stern, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Hou Xuanyan paused and continued: "But the past is over, and you have also been punished as you deserve, after your father and son establish the country, you should write this matter into the national policy and always reflect on yourself." ”
Li Zhuolin hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded guilty, and promised in fluent Chinese to take this matter as a warning.
Hou Xuanyan's favorability towards these people is limited, but he is not as hateful as the Manchurians, and after a reprimand, he turned to say: "The reconstruction of North Korea is bound to require a large number of projects, and your ability is limited, so you can take over the private factories of the Ming Dynasty." Our folk businessmen have rich experience and a good reputation in rebuilding the cities destroyed by the Manchus. When Manchuria was built as a slave, it was a disaster for four years, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty was in a mess. Now you look at it, where there is still the slightest trace, it is even more magnificent. That's the credit and strength of those factories.
As for non-governmental business exchanges, we can also follow Japan's old practice of treating each other as the most favored nation without tariffs. There are a lot of goods in the DPRK, which we lack here, and we have come to exchange them for food and clothing, so as not to cause too many casualties among the Korean people, and help you get out of the distress as soon as possible. ”
Li Zhuolin didn't dare to disobey, kowtowed and said yes, but there were huge waves in his heart, even more shocked than Hou Xuanyan reprimanding him with a straight face just now.
Shinong industry and commerce are the ranking of Confucianism, and North Korea deeply believes that it is even stricter than the former Ming Dynasty.
But it was the commerce of the end of the four peoples that was personally recommended by His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire to solicit business for the merchants of the country.
This was absolutely impossible in the Han Dynasty of the Central Plains in the past, and now everyone knows the wealth and strength of this empire, so this is the foundation of a strong country?
A seed sprouted in Li Zhuolin's heart, and the solidified thinking was hit like never before at this moment...
