"You... You... Aren't you the one? Zhu Youzhen looked at the mysterious girl in front of him and stammered.

The girl was shocked, and hurriedly withdrew her sword and knelt down: "Your Highness! Please forgive the foreign minister for his capital offense! ”

Zhu Youzhen heard her call herself a "foreign minister", which was even more inexplicable. And he felt more and more that her voice was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before he met her in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda!

"Oh! Come to think of it, you've been to the county lord's mansion before, right? Zhu Youzhen was startled and said, "That time I overheard the conversation between the county lord and you..."

As soon as he said this, Zhu Cunqi also rushed over, and immediately lowered his head in shame when he heard this. Zhu Youzhen also stopped suddenly, and his old face turned red. I thought that I was a dignified prince, and it was already very unbearable to pick up the root of the window and eavesdrop on the secret words of the master when I was a guest at the county lord's mansion, and I actually leaked my mouth in front of others! That's an intimate topic involving the love between men and women, how should people see themselves in the future?

"What's that, Shire... County Lord, since you have guests, I'd better come back another day! Zhu Youzhen had to deal with two sentences awkwardly, and wanted to run away.

Zhu Cunqi smiled shyly: "Your Highness, please stay." It's hard to say a word about this matter, the courtyard is not a place to speak, and please go to the study to talk. ”

Zhu Youzhen heard what she said, so he had to stop. Seeing that the girl was still kneeling in front of him, he felt embarrassed by the boss again, and hurriedly put his hands together and said: "That day, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda took a righteous action, and I haven't thanked you for saving your life!" ”

The girl was born with a kind of killing and decisive aura, but now she was ashamed and afraid, and she couldn't say a word. Zhu Cunqi had no choice but to lead the two to the study with a smile, close the door first, and let Zhu Youzhen sit in the main seat, and he accompanied him in the next head. But the girl refused to sit down no matter what, and stood in front of Zhu Youzhen with her hands and feet tied, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Does Your Highness know who she is?" Zhu Cunqi said with a narrow smile.

"This must be a close friend of the county lord, but I always feel like I've seen it somewhere before..."Zhu Youzhen said honestly.

"Hey, don't pretend to be an honest person to fool Your Highness, and don't you play your tricks?" Zhu Cunqi smiled at the girl again.

The girl was even more ashamed when she heard this, and hung her head and said nothing. Zhu Youzhen was a little inexplicable, and he didn't know what trick Zhu Cunqi was talking about. Could it be that this girl will still play tricks?

"Don't come unharmed, Gongzi You, it's polite!" Suddenly, a slightly magnetic voice came into Zhu Youzhen's ears, it was the North Korean businessman Han Zhen who had not been seen for many days! Zhu Youzhen looked around, but there was no trace of Han Zhen, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Brother Han show up?" ”

After waiting for a long time, Han Zhen didn't move again. Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart, secretly wondering if this Han Zhen would not be able to spread the sound for thousands of miles?

While he was suspicious, Zhu Cunqi couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Highness, where are you looking?" Far away, close at hand! ”

"What!" Zhu Youzhen's whole body was shocked, and he realized that the voice just now was actually made by the girl in front of him!

The girl immediately bowed down and said, "Your Highness, please forgive the foreign ministers for the crime of deception!" Han Zhen is the minister, the minister is Han Zhen, the minister and His Royal Highness have not only known each other for a long time, but Ning Yuan had seen His Highness a few months ago! As for women dressing up as men, it is really a last resort, and I hope His Royal Highness will be forgiving! ”

Only then did Zhu Youzhen suddenly realize: no wonder when he was dating Han Zhen that day, he felt that he had a special temperament and an indescribable attraction; No wonder when she eavesdropped on the conversation between the county lord and her that day, her voice was somewhat familiar; No wonder when the Big Wild Goose Pagoda meets, it feels familiar!

It turned out that Han Zhen, a North Korean businessman who he couldn't find, was not only his daughter, but also Zhu Cunqi's close friend, and he was also a first-class martial arts master, and he had been eyeing himself as early as Ningyuan!

Zhu Youzhen only felt that his head was in a mess, so he had to pick up the girl and smile reluctantly: "I don't know your real name yet?" Can you tell me a little bit about what this is all about? ”

The girl smiled apologetically and said, "Your Highness Qiqi, do you remember when you were in Ningyuan, you once met the Korean envoy Han Jin?" ”

As soon as she said this, Zhu Youzhen's mind immediately appeared that middle-aged man with a short figure and a glint in his eyes. But Han Ying's temperament is really far from this girl's, and Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be surprised: "Han Ying shouldn't be you pretending to be too, right?" You're too disguised..."

The girl hurriedly said: "Han Ying is real, but he is only a nominal plenipotentiary envoy, and the real leader of the mission is a foreign minister. At that time, the foreign minister pretended to be a guard, and His Royal Highness naturally did not pay attention. Don't dare to hide it from His Royal Highness anymore, the foreign minister's surname is Li Mingzhenyan, who is the sister of the Korean king Li Liang, and is now named the lord of Miaoxiang. ”

"Lord Weng?" Zhu Youzhen was surprised, "Since you are the king's sister, you should be called a princess." ”

Li Zhenyan hurriedly explained: "North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the title is not the same as that of the upper country. ”

"Oh..."Zhu Youzhen nodded as if he didn't understand, and said as if he had an understanding, "Didn't the North Korean mission come to Beijing to meet Long Live later?" ”

Li Zhenyan sighed and slowly explained the reason. It turned out that Li Zhenyan and her brother Li Liang were both born to the fifth son of Joseon Seonjo and Dingyuan Jun Li Xuan. During the Seonjo period, Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent troops to invade Korea, captured the original prince Linhaijun Li Jue, and sent him back to Japan for captivity.

Later, the Wanli Emperor sent the famous generals Li Rusong and Ma Gui to Korea twice, and finally drove the Japanese back to their hometown. However, Seonjo's other son, Gwanghaejun Li Hun, took the opportunity to seize the throne of the prince and ascended the throne after Seonjo's death, becoming a new generation of Korean kings.

Because Linhae-jun had already been sent back to Korea at that time, Gwanghae-jun's ascension to the throne caused a lot of controversy, and even the suzerain, Daming, refused to recognize it for a long time. Within the royal family, it is even more stirring up, many people want to overthrow Li Hui, and Li Liang, who was awarded the title of Ayayang Jun, is one of them.

Unlike the feminine and dark of other members of the Joseon royal family, Dingyuan Jun Li Heng is a martial arts master, and he has already established himself as early as the Seonjo period. He has a large number of generals, and the royal court of Seoul can't help him. The heir of the Lee family, Yi Ju, was even more ambitious, and finally took advantage of the intricate political structure of North Korea to succeed in a coup d'état, deposing Gwanghaejun and establishing himself as the king of Joseon.

After Li Liang ascended the throne, the first thing he had to do was naturally to seek the recognition of the suzerain, the Ming Dynasty. So he sent his important minister Han Ying to immediately send an envoy to Daming, and brought his sister Li Zhenyan with him. His wishful thinking is: as long as Tianqi officially canonizes himself as the king of Joseon, he will give Li Zhenyan to Tianqi as a concubine!
