Chapter 647: Unparalleled Talent
"Your Excellency, the little woman has made a fool of herself."
With Li Hui's nod, the young woman kneeling there was obviously relieved, bowed to the Ming envoy and stood up, and paced back and forth in the field with a slight frown under the gaze of everyone, as if thinking about poetry.
If it were in normal times, the young woman had already made a poem, but now it is different from the past, she has the champion and example of the Ming Imperial Examination in front of her, so she does not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Moreover, the quality of the poems she made was related to whether her mother and younger brother could be pardoned by Li Hui for their crimes and no longer have to endure hardships, so it was natural to make a good poem to impress the Ming envoys.
Li Hongyu whispered to Zhao Xin beside him about the young woman while sipping the wine, and wanted to know with great interest what kind of poems she would make.
Li Yu noticed that Li Hongyu seemed to be very interested in the young woman in the field, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he secretly kept this matter in his heart.
"The middle stream of the small Baizhou, a few years of leisure is the head of the blue wave. If future generations ask who will cross first, the civil and military will be the marquis of all ten thousand households! ”
It didn't take long for the young woman to stop under the concerned gaze of everyone, bowed to the Ming envoy and said in a coquettish voice.
"What a civil and military marquis!" Hearing the poems written by the young woman, Li Hongyu couldn't help but smile and said to Zhao Xin, "It seems that this little girl is not small." ”
"It's a pity that I've been reduced to a prostitute." Zhao Xin bowed slightly, her eyes showed a look of regret and pity, and then said to Li Hongyu, "Since this woman is quite talented, it is better to ask the envoy to pardon her and her family." ”
"That's exactly what I mean." Li Hongyu knew that Zhao Xin was kind-hearted and didn't want young women to continue to stay in the fire pit like a brothel, so he smiled and agreed, how could he not have pity for the jade?
"Good!" At this time, a cheer rang out at the scene, and a North Korean official reacted and applauded at the same time.
There was a loud applause, and everyone applauded and talked about the poem that the young woman had written earlier.
Not to mention anything else, a little singing and dancing girl dares to dream that her future husband is a marquis of Wanhu who is both civil and military, and this kind of courage alone is already rare.
Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin also applauded, and the young woman compared herself with Xiao Baizhou, feeling nostalgic for her first love, revealing the emotional emptiness and loneliness, as well as the longing for the person she loves in her heart, all revealing the girlish feelings of a little daughter, which is a superior work in emotional poetry.
"What's your name?" The envoy of the Ming Dynasty sitting on the top noticed that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were smiling and applauding, knowing that the two were very satisfied with the young woman's poems, so he clapped his hands a few times and asked in a deep voice.
"Back to the envoy, the little woman's name is Li Yi'er." The young woman bowed when she heard the words and replied in a coquettish voice.
"Li Yi'er, this official is true to his word, and the poems you wrote have won the hearts of everyone at the scene, so this official believes that the king of Joseon will pardon your family's crimes." The Ming envoy smiled slightly and looked at Li Hui below.
Li Yi'er's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, and her eyes showed a look of expectation, the Ming envoy just said "family" instead of "mother and younger brother", and invisibly gave her a big gift, how dare Li Hui disobey the will of the Ming envoy.
"Li Yi'er, this king forgives you and your family for your sins, and from now on you are no longer sinners." Li Hui was naturally happy to send such a favor, anyway, Li Yi'er's family was not an important person, so he announced happily.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, Your Highness." Li Yi'er's face suddenly showed an excited look, and she hurriedly knelt down to thank the Ming envoy and Li Hui.
"Get up, I hope you will come up with more good sentences in the future." The Ming envoy smiled, and the void raised his hand to Li Yi'er, and his words changed the fate of Li Yi'er and his family, this is the beauty of power, which makes people obsessed with it and can't extricate themselves.
"The little girl remembers the teachings of the envoys." Hearing this, Li Yi'er kowtowed to the Ming envoy again, and then stood up excitedly.
"Your Excellency, since everyone is in high spirits tonight, then the lower officials will also write lyrics to help everyone's drinking." Li Hongyu glanced at the excited Li Yi'er, stood up after a little groan, and said to the Ming envoy with a smile.
Zhao Xin smiled slightly when he heard this, picked up the wine glass in front of him and tasted it slowly, Li Hongyu's purpose tonight was to show off in order to attract the attention of various factions in the North Korean officialdom, so that the two sides would be able to deal with each other in the future.
"That's great!" The envoy of the Ming Dynasty couldn't help laughing, and said loudly, these North Korean officials at the scene are blessed to hear the poems made by the first genius of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Yier looked at Li Hongyu with some surprise, and was quite surprised by what this Ming military attache said, when did the vulgar military attache also know how to recite poetry?
"The remnant snow condenses the cold painting screen, the plum flute has been changed for three years, and no one is in the moon."
Li Hongyu came to the scene under the curious gaze of everyone, first bowed to the Ming envoys, and then paced up at the scene, and when he reached the seventh step, he said in a deep voice, "I am a melancholy guest in the world, I know what is going on with tears in my eyes, and I remember my life in the sound of broken intestines." ”
"Remembering my life in the sound of broken intestines!"
Li Yi'er's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, and a shocked look appeared on her face, she never thought that a martial artist would be able to make such sad and sentimental words.
In fact, the sentence "I am a melancholy guest in the world" alone reveals all the sorrows, and it is precisely because of the bitterness of parting from the world that I can't help but cry.
However, this full of sorrow can only cry alone, no one knows, let alone give comfort, so he can only laugh at himself, reminisce about his life after his heart is broken.
"Good words, good words!"
Hula, after a short period of calm, the scene resounded like a tide of applause, although it is also an emotional poem, but Li Hongyu's "Poppy Beauty" undoubtedly overwhelms Li Yier in terms of artistic conception.
Li Yi'er came back to her senses and applauded, looking at Li Hongyu in surprise, she didn't think that an ordinary martial artist could make such poignant words, and his identity was definitely not simple.
Li Hongyu smiled and thanked the people at the scene, and returned to his seat to talk and laugh with Zhao Xin and Li Liang after looking at Li Yi'er who looked at him in astonishment.
Li Liang can be sure at this time that Li Hongyu participated in the Ming Dynasty Examination before becoming an officer of the Ming Forbidden Army, otherwise how could he have such an amazing talent?
Of course, Li Hongyu's move also successfully attracted Li Hui's attention, realizing that this liaison officer who had a close relationship with the envoys of the Ming Dynasty was not simple.
In the dead of night, the banquet ended in a cheerful and harmonious atmosphere, and Li Hui led the civil and military ministers to personally send the Ming envoys to the guest house guarded by the Ming army, and then dispersed.
To Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin's surprise, Li Hui left Li Yi'er behind and wanted her to serve the Ming envoys, that is, the Ming envoys who sat on the seats at the banquet.
Not only that, Li Hui also arranged for the deputy envoy of the Ming Dynasty, Li Hongyu, and Zhao Xin to sleep with young and beautiful women, which was a very common thing in the past, and it can also be described as a common practice.
But what Li Hui didn't know was that his move gave Li Hongyu a problem, and Li Hongyu didn't even touch Rou'er, let alone ask the four North Korean women to sleep.
Therefore, Li Hongyu signaled to replace him with the Ming envoy to place the four North Korean women sent by Li Hui together, and let them engage in some affairs of serving tea and pouring water in the guest house, acting as maids.
The reason why Li Hongyu did not return the four North Korean women was to avoid being criticized, after all, it was very common for women to sleep at this time, he couldn't behave too differently, and he also lived up to Li Hui's good intentions.
On the second day, Seoul ushered in a heavy snowfall, the temperature suddenly became colder, and the winter in North Korea was unusually cold, so that Li Hongyu, who was dressed in mink, could feel the slightest chill.
Li Hongyu knew that Li Hui sent the four Korean women to listen to the news of the Ming mission, so he deliberately kept them away from the Ming envoy and deputy envoy.
However, Li Hongyu asked Li Yier to serve by his side, he was naturally not interested in Li Yi'er but for the outside world to see, on the surface, it seemed to be pity and cherishing jade, but in fact, it was an opportunity for Li Hui and Li Liang and others to listen to the reality of the Ming Mission, so that they could rest assured and not think cranky.
Li Yi'er was puzzled that the people of the Ming Mission did not move her and the other three Korean women who were sent by Li Hui, and at the same time secretly happy in her heart, she originally thought that they were going to sleep but they just became maids.
As Li Hongyu expected, Li Yi'er and the four of them were tasked with listening to the movements of the Ming Mission, and they were just some weak women who had the right to say "no", so they could only be regarded as gifts from Li Hui to the Ming Mission.
Soon, Li Yier is now staying by Li Hongyu's side, Li Hongyu is not a womanizer who has no offense against her, and he likes music and rhythm, and he also has deep attainments in calligraphy and painting.
Li Yier was originally quite conceited in poetry, music, calligraphy and painting, but when she came to Li Hongyu's side, she knew what it meant to be a person, and there was a sky outside the sky, Li Hongyu's attainments in these fields were obviously a few points higher than her, and she was worthy of participating in the Daming Hui exam, which made her look at Li Hongyu with admiration.
Finally, when the heavy snow that had turned the entire Seoul into a world of pink and jade made of pink and jade stopped, the Ming envoy summoned Li Hui to the State Guest House and officially told Li Hui the purpose of his visit to the Korean Kingdom, asking him to hand over the generals of the Korean army who surrendered during the Battle of Sarhu, and to prepare for the construction of the Yalu River defense line against the Houjin in Liaodong.
According to the requirements of the Ming envoys, the Korean state should send 50,000 troops to defend the Yalu River in the next three years, enter Houjin, which can attack Liaodong, and retreat to defend the Yalu River to prevent Houjin from moving south.
This made Li Hui surprised, he could hand over the generals of the Korean army who surrendered during the Battle of Sarhu to the Ming Dynasty, but he could not accept the construction of the Yalu River defense line, which meant that he had to deploy the main forces of North Korea on the Yalu River.
Not only that, but the annual military spending alone is a huge amount, which is enough to crush the North Korean economy in a few years, which is not what Li Hui wants to see.
Although Li Hui wanted to refuse to send troops, the Ming envoy did not consult him about this matter, but conveyed the holy decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, if he refused, it would be a protest.
Therefore, Li Hui left the guest house worriedly, with a disappointed look on his face, no wonder the Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to send two scholars to Korea to take charge, it turned out that he wanted to drag North Korea into the war with Houjin.
The State Guest House, on the top floor of a three-storey attic, in front of a hidden window.
"Brother Li, it seems that the king of North Korea seems to be very disappointed, if he knew that we were ready to bear the military expenses of the 50,000 North Korean soldiers, I am afraid it would be a different mood."
Zhao Xin looked at the lonely back of Li Hui leaving, and said to Li Hongyu with a smile, Daming has always regarded itself as the superior country of the Celestial Empire, how can it let the small country of North Korea bear those military expenses, and if North Korea is in chaos, it will not be good for Daming.
"Asking for a lot of money and paying it back on the spot, instead of telling him at the beginning, it is better to let him be anxious first, so that it will be more satisfying."
Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, if it weren't for Li Hui swaying left and right between Daming and Houjin to please each other, there would be no need for him to keep one hand to beat him, and if he announced that Daming would bear the military expenses of the Korean army in the future, it would also show the great emperor's grace of the great emperor, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
