Zhang Yuan preached the Spring and Autumn Righteousness in Sungkyunkwan with great success, nearly 1,000 hall students and Korean officials deeply sympathized with Zhang Yuan's "Huayi Distinction", North Korea was influenced by Chinese civilization, from etiquette to clothing are the same as China, especially the Korean scholars, Su Confucian scriptures, advocating integrity, self-proclaimed subordination to China, Sanhan is also a state of etiquette and righteousness, and for the Jianzhou Jurchen, North Korea despises it from the heart, thinking that the Jurchen is a barbarian, and it cannot be compared with North Korea at all.

Liu Dongming, the general of the internal guard who listened to Zhang Yuan's lectures, was shallow in his knowledge, and he had no understanding of Zhang Yuan's Spring and Autumn Righteousness, and he didn't listen attentively, he only monitored whether there were suspicious entrants and other secret contacts with Zhang Yuan or Zhang Yuan's subordinates, as for why Zhang Yuan came to Sungkyunkwan to talk about these principles, he only thought that Zhang Yuan was a good teacher, a young champion, and he always had to show off when he had the opportunity to learn - but Ayayang Jun Li Liang admired Zhang Yuan's intentions, he knew that Zhang Yuan was building momentum for the upcoming chaos, Guanghaijun's loss of the Jianzhou slave chief is ungrateful and unrighteous to the Ming Dynasty; The abolition of the mother concubine and the slaughter of the clan are even more of a rebellion of ministers and thieves, which is unfilial piety and unkindness, of course, Zhang Yuan did not connect these things when he talked about the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, but the pavilion students and officials present have their own knowledge...... Li Liang was thinking like this, one of his cronies approached and whispered a few words, Li Liang frowned slightly, and secretly instructed the cronie a few words, and the cronie left quietly.

Zhang Yuan on the Minglun Hall spoke for nearly an hour, his mouth was dry, and the truth was almost the same, so he proposed that the deputy envoy Ruan Dacheng would preach the "Book of Songs" for the students, and the great secretary of the Chengkyun Pavilion would welcome the students, Ruan Dacheng spoke freely, Zhang Yuan sat next to Li Liang, tasted tea and listened to the lecture, but listened to Li Liang and said in a low voice: "Zhang Dajin, the two Xiaobei faction officials Li Yuanyi and Shen Shimin, who were sparse the day before yesterday, have gone to the Xianfu for interrogation, and the situation is forced into O. ”

At this time, Haijun didn't know how to restrain but still intensified the contradictions, which was exactly what Zhang Yuan wanted, and asked: "Has the whereabouts of the Jianzhou envoy been traced?" ”

Li Liang said: "All roads out of Wangjing have been closely monitored, it can be determined that the Jianzhou envoy has not left Wangjing, I have been ordered to follow Zheng Renhong and Pu Gui Weng's son-in-law, to meet Nalan Bakesh in the Bihu Pavilion is Pu Gui, they will inevitably meet, the most suspicious at present is the Sagashan Secret Garden, Pu Gui had been there the day before yesterday, but because of the strict guards, it was impossible to detect whether those Jianzhou women really lived in it. ”

Zhang Yuan asked, "Where is the secret garden of Sagayama?" ”

Li Qi said: "It is the place where the Korean kings of the past dynasties spent summer and hunted. ”

Zhang Yuan asked: "Is it inside the city or outside the city?" ”

Li Qi said: "In the southern suburbs of Wangjing, north of the Han River, a radius of dozens of miles. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "We must find out the exact whereabouts of the Jianzhou envoy as soon as possible, otherwise Li Duhu's 1,200 soldiers will not be able to stay in the suburbs of Seoul for a long time. ”

Li Qi nodded, his expression solemn.

In the evening of the same day, Liu Dongming on behalf of Guang Haijun in the Sungkyun Pavilion set up a banquet to entertain the Ming mission, after the banquet, Zhang Yuan returned to the reception hall, a round of bright moon is full, this is the moon of May 15 o Ah, Ruan Dacheng chanted "Lu from tonight white, the moon is the hometown of Ming", and Zhang Yuan walked in the courtyard, talking about today's Sungkyun Pavilion lectures, suddenly heard the sound of bamboo pipes nearby, like a flute, that day in Pyongyang Mansion night banquet heard this kind of music, should be a North Korean wind instrument - Ruan Dacheng said: "This is the two North Korean girls playing, Why don't you invite them to come here and play, why don't you play alone as well as in the crowd? ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Why listen to it in person, Su Dongpo once said that 'blowing the flute in the east under the moon' is one of the happy things to enter life." ”

Ruan Dacheng smiled, and Zhang Yuanli listened to the bamboo pipe sound like a flute in the courtyard, Ruan Dacheng was proficient in the rhythm, listened for a moment, and said: "This should be a kind of flute, the glissandy sound is like a delicate woman's whispering, and my country's cave flute has never been so wonderful." He added: "There seems to be a sense of longing in the flute, I don't know which of the two North Korean girls played it, it should be the dancing girl, the dumb girl can't make a sound, and she must not be able to play the instrument." ”

Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement, he didn't know if it was Princess Zhenming or Gu Xishan who was playing, and after listening to it for a while, the music was gone, the bright moon was empty, and the pavilion was quiet.

Ruan Dacheng said leisurely: "Listen to the bell in the Jiangshan Temple, and blow the flute in the east under the moon - why is it the east wall and not the west wall, why the east wall instead of the west wall?" After that, without waiting for Zhang Yuan to answer, he arched his hand and went back to the room with a smile.

Zhang Yuan understood the ambiguity in Ruan Dacheng's laughter, "over the east wall and hugging his virgin", it seems that Ruan Dacheng thinks that he has an affair with the two North Korean girls, and it is difficult to argue.

Zhang Yuan shook his head, went back to the house to take a bath, and then wrote a diary under the lamp, and suddenly reported that His Royal Highness Ayayangjun and Zheng Jushu, General Liu, and Qi Chengzhi asked to meet, at this time it was the end of the year, and Li Liang must have something important to discuss when he came in, but what happened to come with Zheng Renhong, Liu Dongming, and Qi Shishi?

Zhang Yuan greeted the hall and saw Li Liang, Zheng Renhong, Liu Dongming, and Qi Shishi entering, and there was an endless stream of servants carrying boxes behind, and the boxes were stacked in front of the corridor, dozens of large and small - Zheng Renhong arched his hand and said: "The envoy Rong Yu, the petty official was ordered by the king to come to see the envoy at night, my king got the news last night, and was shocked, and he has issued an edict overnight to observe the Ping'an Dao Observation Mission and the Yizhou Jiedu Envoy to strictly investigate the officials and sergeants who trade with Jianzhou privately, if there is indeed a sale of prohibited things, they will be severely punished, and there will be a reply within five days, The small state is like a son serving the father of the Ming Dynasty, how can he have an external heart, please make a clear observation. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Corrupt officials and corrupt officials are inevitable, as long as the king of your state thoroughly investigates this matter and prevents such a thing from happening again, otherwise, on the one hand, I canonized the prince of Guibang by the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, the officials of your state have dealings with traitors in Jianzhou, how to return to the emperor in the next return to Beijing!" ”

Zheng Renhong said: "This kind of thing will never happen again in the future, please rest assured, tomorrow morning, my king will order the king's eldest son An Pingjun His Royal Highness to come down to see the young envoy, the young envoy thousands of miles away, the small state is not well guarded, resulting in the young envoy twice frightened, His Royal Highness An Pingjun is very frightened, this is His Royal Highness An Pingjun to the two envoys and the mission up and down some thin gifts, talk about the heart, please accept it, otherwise His Royal Highness An Pingjun will not dare to come to see the envoy. ”

- An Pingjun is the eldest son of Gwanghae-kun, who is going to be canonized as the prince of the Joseon Kingdom, and he has just passed his fifteenth birthday.

Zhang Yuan looked at the large pile of boxes and said in his heart: "Guanghaijun wants to buy me with his money?" At this time, if I refuse, it will make Gwanghae-kun wary of me, so it's better to laugh and accept. He said: "His Royal Highness An Pingjun's generous gift, how dare you accept it——"

Zheng Renhong listened to Zhang Yuan's tone was not very resolute, sneered in his heart, and humbly begged Zhang Yuan to accept it on the surface, saying that this was some Korean native rites for the Ming Mission, and to comfort the hardships of the Shangguo Mission.

Ayayangjun Li Liang, Liu Dongming, and Qi Shishi also begged Zhang Yuan to accept it, Zhang Yuan also accepted it, and said a few words, Li Liang and others said goodbye, Zhang Yuan sent out of the hall, and came back to invite Ruan Dacheng and Zhen Zidan to invite Ruan Dacheng and Zhen Zidan, but saw Li Liang smiling and stepping back, and said: "Zhang Dajin, I left a folding fan here." When he came to the side of the chair, he leaned over and picked up a folding fan from the ground - Zhang Yuan knew that Li Liang must have something important to say, so he stepped forward and said: "Is this folding fan so precious for His Royal Highness Ayayangjun, let me see it." After taking the folding fan handed over by Li Kun, I heard Li Ju say in a low voice: "The Jianzhou envoy is in the secret garden of Saga Mountain, and he is packing up in the evening, Zheng Renhong and Pu Gui also sent a lot of gifts in the afternoon, and these Jianzhou Jurchens must be going to leave for Jianzhou overnight." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "At any cost, Nalambakshi must be captured alive, as long as Nalambakshi is captured, a big event will be taken immediately, and there is no need to hide it anymore." ”

Li Qi said: "I have ordered Li Gui to send 300 soldiers to ambush at the three dangerous points of the road north of Seoul, and there are also our sentinels in the area of Sagashan, and Nalan Bakshi will not escape. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Very good, there will be An Pingjun coming tomorrow, this is His Royal Highness Ayayangjun." As he spoke, he handed the folding fan back to Li Liang.

Li Liang's palms were sweaty, and he didn't answer the fan, so he arched his hand and said: "Since Zhang Dajin likes this folding fan, then I will give it to him with this fan." He said in a low voice: "What else does Zhang Dajin command?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "If you find out which way Nalan Bakshi returned north, report to me immediately." ”

Li Qi resigned, and at this time Zhen Zidan came over, Zhang Yuan pointed to the pile of boxes and said, "Zhen Qianhu, let's take a look at what gift An Pingjun sent us?" Invite Ruan Dajin as well. ”

Ruan Dacheng had already undressed and gone to bed, put on his robes, and together with Zhang Yuan, he watched several Jinyi guards open the boxes and inspect them one by one, totaling 800 taels of gold, 25,000 taels of silver, 200 high-grade ginseng, 100 mink skins, and thousands of other jade, precious stones, crystals, spices, cloth, and paper.

Zhang Yuan said: "Make a list of these gifts, and the accounts should be clear. ”

Zhen Zidan thought that Zhang Yuan was going to accept this generous gift, and made a list to facilitate distribution, and admired Zhang Yuan very much, and thought: "Zhang Da entered the suburbs of Hancheng and did not enter the city, but it turned out that he was going to wait for this generous gift. ”

Ruan Dacheng didn't think that Zhang Yuan was making trouble for the Korean monarchs and ministers for these things, but Zhang Yuan accepted these gifts again, which made Ruan Dacheng a little puzzled, and before he could ask, Zhang Yuan had already spoken: "I accepted the gift for another reason, and the two of you will understand my intentions tomorrow." ”

Ruan Dacheng saw that Zhang Yuan had nothing else to say, so he went back to the room to rest first.

Zhang Yuan said to Zhen Zidan: "Zhen Qianhu, you select ten brocade guards with superb martial arts skills to come to the hall to listen to my orders." ”

Seeing Zhang Yuan's solemn expression, Zhen Zidan didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly summoned ten henchmen and lieutenants to come to the hall to obey orders, Wang Zongyue, Mu Jingyan, Hong Ji, Hong Xin, Sheba, Ma Kuoqi, and the silent guest Guangxian had also come to the hall.
