Ancient Modo.

Zhao Bingkui's face sank like water, the snow fell outside the room, the clouds were like lead, and the sky was chaotic, just like his current mood.

This morning, the Chinese embassy put up lanterns, and it turned out that the regent had accepted Concubine Jin as his goddaughter, and invited all clans in Seoul to watch the ceremony, and Zhao Bingkui was also invited.

King Su came to Seoul unknowingly, which was really a big surprise.

Zhao Bingkui held the empty teacup, unconscious.

The young official sighed softly in his heart, even if the patriarch's father and brother were forced to death by the Jin family, he had never seen the patriarch lose his soul like this, but also, he thought that a big thing would be accomplished, who knew that the Chinese regent would come to Seoul, all kinds of previous deployments could be said to be abandoned, and now the regent is even driving his horse to make a move for the Jin family, the Chinese riflemen have entered the city one after another, and have seen the strong combat power of the embassy guards, and then think about the horror of hundreds or even thousands of [***] teams, it is really chilling.

Seoul, for the Chinese, is like picking up things; Gyeonggi Forbidden Army? It's just a joke in front of others, even if tens of thousands of elite Qin Kings from all walks of life are gathered, I'm afraid they will be vulnerable. Not to mention, this Qinwang's division is really unknown.

The envoy of the northern kingdom does not know when he has sneaked away, but it seems that this Qing official has long known the power of the Southern Dynasty, and his tough attitude at the beginning is just a bluff.

"Yuanjun, Chinese have already sent soldiers into the palace to pick up the king and the Oriental trade envoys to the ......embassy," the young official said cautiously.

Zhao Bingkui sighed deeply, "Order, let go." ”

…… Embassy Regent Lounge.

After drinking a few more cups at noon, Ye Zhaozheng was lying comfortably on the soft couch and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the delicate North Korean maid in front of the soft couch knelt and gently knocked the regent's feet with a wooden mallet.

When Ye Zhao was half asleep and half awake, he felt that his feet were lightly pinched by a pair of soft little hands, and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't help but smile and said, "Well, I didn't expect you to have this craft." But when he felt that these little hands gradually came up and kneaded to the root of his thighs, although that kind of ambiguous teasing was the only rule of massage, and it was also extremely pleasant, Ye Zhao couldn't help frowning slightly, opened his eyes and said, "Okay, let's go down." "Although I often laugh at myself for being a faint king, I can't really become a faint king, when was the little maid of North Korea so bold as to dare to tease herself.

But when I opened my eyes, I couldn't help but be stunned, but I saw that the one who knelt in front of the soft couch to help him rub his legs was the graceful Concubine Jin, who was dressed in a pink palace costume, beautiful and bright, and exquisite.

"Can my daughter's craftsmanship be returned to her father's eyes?" Concubine Jin smiled like a flower, full of charm.

Ye Zhao couldn't help coughing dryly, what did you say?

Although I had heard that Yuan Shikai had an affair with Princess Mingcheng earlier, it was just a legend of wild history, and I was afraid that most of it was fake, but what was this golden concubine?

"Well, the fingers are fragrant, the wrists are light, you have to serve, but it is the realm of immortals." Ye Zhao turned over and sat up as he spoke, and when he saw that Concubine Jin's eyes were different, he was slightly stunned, and then he picked up the sunglasses next to the pillow and put them on.

Concubine Jin could hear that although the regent was admiring, he had no frivolity, and her heart was relieved. Although Li Yu is absurd and lustful, but Concubine Jin and him are husband and wife, and now it is helpless to flatter and the regent, the undercurrent of Seoul is surging, Zhao Bingkui is eyeing the tiger, if there is no regent's support, the king may be worry-free, but she is most likely unable to escape the tragic fate.

Although she has become the regent moth, she is always a little apprehensive in her heart, the regent said that she likes to exchange at an equal price, but what does she have to rely on? It's just the body. Maybe serving the regent for a few nights, he can earn the greatest benefit for the Jin family, and in any case, this dewy feeling can also enhance the intimacy with the regent.

It can be seen that the regent's expression is obviously not fascinated by his beauty, although he is a little disappointed, Concubine Jin is also relieved, but the regent's eyes are extremely clear, and this full beard looks extremely incompatible, if he does not wear glasses, he is a rugged and beautiful man.

Seeing Ye Zhao get up, Concubine Jin hurriedly helped him sit up, and took the cotton socks to help Ye Zhao gently put them on.

Ye Zhao smiled bitterly in his heart, relying on this soft and fragrant body, he was carefully served by this little beauty and wore socks, especially the beauty was a different princess, and she looked docile and charming, the psychology of a man, if you say that you are not impressed, it is false.

But you can't really be a human being, so what's the difference between it and a beast? What's more, this golden concubine has no true feelings for herself, she is just forced by her own power, a weak woman in troubled times, although she is the main mother of a country, but how helpless is she? If he occupies her, what is the difference between him and those old novels in which he destroys the ministers, the king or the faint king?

got out of bed, and saw Concubine Jin throwing herself up, her arm touching her breasts, Ye Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Could it be that you really want me to [***]?" ”

With an exclamation, Concubine Jin's face turned red, and she hurriedly let go of Ye Zhao, she never thought that the regent would come up with such a sentence, but then her heart moved, she gritted her silver teeth, and took two more steps, her soft breasts fell together, she glanced at Ye Zhao with her pretty eyes, and whispered: "Father, if your father wants to, my daughter will listen to your ......."

Ye Zhao smiled dumbly, seeing her shy and supple and charming attitude, his heart also beat a few times quickly, and he waved his hand with a smile: "I know that you are so careful, I am afraid that I will not help you, but since you are now my goddaughter, I will say a few words to you, I am a good person, I will not do some absurd and shameless things, you can rest assured, you don't have to be wronged to endure this humiliation." And although you and I have only known each other for a few days, and getting married seems to be using each other, I hope that you and I can be honest with each other, and I will help your Jin family, as long as you can abide by your duties as a vassal country, your Jin family will also be eternal and prosperous. And to tell the truth, you North Korea is small and weak, always have to find a big country as a backer, and you and I both have China said, you North Korea into my Chinese system is the best choice, no matter from the cultural background or geographical location, China will become a solid ally of North Korea, and I also believe that the Korean people, will also benefit from it, Jin Concubine, now for China, for North Korea, is an excellent opportunity for development, miss today, I am afraid that I will regret it, not to mention anything else, behind the tiger's eye of the Japanese cowards, I'm afraid that North Korea will suffer immensely. ”

Concubine Jin listened quietly and nodded, but she didn't expect that the regent would be able to say such heartfelt words to herself.

Ye Zhao smiled again: "Although you and I have known each other for a short time, since we are married, whether it is father and daughter, brother and sister, the relationship is always close, if you call me a few times father, I can't make you shout in vain, I will always take care of you in the future, take care of your Jin family, and I also hope that you will show sincerity and truly respect me, instead of belittling yourself and despising me." ”

Concubine Jin nodded silently, and a mist gradually rose in her eyes, but no, she was the mother of a country, but she wanted to seduce and please others with self-contempt, who knew the humiliation in her heart?

Ye Zhao paused and said, "Concubine Jin, do you have a nickname?" "The pronunciation of the correct name when she got married was really weird, and Ye Zhao didn't remember to ask her name until now.

"Father, call his daughter Yu'er." Concubine Jin lowered her head and said.

"It's a nice name." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go and see my Chinese goods." ”

Concubine Jin nodded meekly.

A shipment has been brought into the embassy, snow is falling, and the goods are being placed in a backyard warehouse bungalow.

The beauty held a colorful oil umbrella and accompanied Ye Zhao to fly to the warehouse, which was a beautiful picture.

During the walk, Concubine Jin suddenly chuckled and asked, "Father, my daughter has something to understand, is my father's heart really made of iron?" Although the daughter is not as good as her father Wang Fengfei, she can make the six palaces lose her color, but she thinks that she is also a flower and a moon, so does the father really look down on her daughter? ”

After a long conversation, it made Concubine Jin and Ye Zhao feel a lot closer, remembering what happened just now, Concubine Jin was certainly shy, but as a more conceited woman, she was faintly unconvinced, and she only felt that she had hurt her face. But fortunately, there is a spring breeze around this regent, not to mention how respectful his status is, he really doesn't have to be afraid of losing face, remove the disguise, and dare to tell him anything, which is really the only comfort in his life.

Ye Zhao said funny: "That's not true, but I know that you have a very good relationship with Li Yu, do I really want a silver wife and daughter?" I can't do it. ”

Concubine Jin chuckled, and when she saw that she had entered the warehouse, the guards had not followed, so she took Ye Zhao's arm and chuckled, "Now my daughter only has a good relationship with her father." ”

Ye Zhao coughed dryly, rubbed his nose, this relationship is close, but there is a subtle ambiguity that is not slightly taboo, shook his head, and walked towards the rows of goods.

Nowadays, only some eye-catching gadgets have been transported to the embassy, and large items such as cloth are still on the cargo ship, and Concubine Feng has also returned to the merchant ship, and it is better to rent land with the merchants.

Looking at the petal glass beads, kaleidoscope, clairvoyant mirror, pocket watch self-striking bell, and glass mirror, Concubine Jin became more and more surprised, picked up and played with them one by one from the wooden frame, and asked: "Father, these are all Guangzhou goods?" ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "Yes, the original made in China." Looking at the goods on this wooden shelf, I can't help but feel a little comfortable, the industrial chain on the southern coast is developing faster than I imagined. There has always been no shortage of enlightened and enterprising people in China's industrial and commercial circles, but what they lack is only the general environment and system. It's a pity that in later generations, the domestic system has been relaxed, but the international environment has many restrictions, not to mention the development of science and technology, the development of basic industry, people are more than 100 years earlier, that is, it is lagging behind the present moment, how can it be so easy to catch up?

Concubine Jin was leisurely fascinated, imagining the novelties that Feng Fujin said, and sighed softly: "My daughter is really a frog at the bottom of the well." ”

Ye Zhao smiled, pondered for a while, and took out a gold pocket watch from his arms, made of pure gold, extremely exquisite, handed it to Concubine Jin and said, "Give it to you, you rewarded me with two gold ingots, I have to have something in return, right?" "Father! Concubine Jin blushed, stomped her feet coquettishly, bright and moving.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Go on." ”

Concubine Jin took it and said, "Father Xie, my daughter will cherish it." So he carefully put it in a close-fitting brocade purse.

pondering, Ye Zhao said again: "Invite you to the evening banquet of the country's gentry, but you should not take it lightly, after the Ming Dynasty, you will discuss with Li Yu to adopt the children of the royal family into the palace, although Li Yu is not very old, but everything is unpredictable, there must always be a preparation, after you give birth to the bloodline, there is no need to mention, if you are like the previous king, Li Yu also has incense lamps to inherit, so as to ensure the stability of the country's politics." ”

It is common for the Korean lord to have no queen, and the previous king collapsed without heirs, and finally the royal concubine and various wealthy families chose Li Yu to inherit the throne.

And now Ye Zhao teaches Concubine Jin, since the experience is talking, Concubine Jin is heartbroken, nodding silently, the regent has good intentions, the king of North Korea needs China to be canonized to be legal, so he adopted the children of the clan, such as in case the king has three long and two short, but he can also be the master of the harem.

In the palace today, there are two generations of princesses, including the biological mother of the previous king Li Huan, who was born in Fengyang Zhao, and the princess of Nanyang Hong, the wife of Li Huan, and the princess of Nanyang Hong, who is the most respected princess, and the Jin family is now the princess of the king and still has a place in the back court, but if Li Yu dies without heirs, who will recognize her at that time, I am afraid that she can only be moldy and stinky in the harem.

"The father's kindness to his daughter will never be forgotten by the daughter for the rest of her life." Seeing Ye Zhao's hard work for her, Concubine Jin's gratitude was overflowing.

Ye Zhao smiled: "Let's not talk about this, isn't it?" ”

Concubine Jin smiled, "Yes, my daughter listens to her father." ”

Ye Zhao scratched his head a little again, this title is becoming more and more intimate.

"Lord Wang, the lord of North Korea has arrived!" Kumen turned into a guard and fell to one knee to report.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, and said to Concubine Jin: "Let's go, I haven't seen him for a few days, you should miss him too." ”

Concubine Jin's face turned red, thinking about being coquettish and foolish in front of the Chinese regent, showing off her style, she really can't stand the king, but the king, he can't even protect his wife, in the words of the Chinese, what a nest? If it weren't for the regent's protection, I don't know what kind of humiliation I would have suffered.

Thinking about it, that little bit of guilt was soon thrown to the country of Java.

…… The embassy banquet living room, such as Korean customs, sat Li Yu and Concubine Jin in front of the huge wall-hung landscape fan, the first small table on the left, Ye Zhao sat cross-legged, the second small table, Zhang Youcun, the third small table Ding Qimei, and the right column behind the small table sat cross-legged in turn are the North Korean magnates, seven or eight people headed by Zhao Bingkui, several first-class members, and several patriarchs of the strongest and prosperous families in North Korea.

The delicacies on the table, the elixir, the gold and silver utensils sparkled.

In fact, this lord Li Yu is very pushing, since the chaos, he is frightened like a frightened bird, and when he sees the Chinese regent, he is even more terrified, seeing with his own eyes that the Chinese soldiers came to the palace to pick up himself and the Minister of Oriental Trade and Commerce when they clashed with the forbidden army, hundreds of forbidden troops collapsed at the touch of a button, and there was simply no ability to fight back, and now the palace is completely taken over by Chinese soldiers, he originally thought that the Chinese would depose him from the throne and set up another meritocracy, who knew that when he arrived at the Chinese embassy, he knew that Concubine Ai was accepted as a goddaughter by the regent, was immediately overjoyed, and it was a matter of course for Ye Zhao to say "father-in-law".

Now that the banquet is for all the wealthy families, how dare Li Yu sit on the throne? But the regent insisted, and he had no choice but to obey.

Seeing the king's performance in front of the regent, Concubine Jin didn't know what it was like, shame, sadness, contempt, pity, mixed tastes, but the regent was extremely easy-going, not to mention the slightest shelf, and when talking to Li Yu, it was also gossip, a mouthful of the prince, giving enough respect, and now in front of the ministers, it is even more to give the prince and her the princess face, please sit on the main seat, he sat on the side seat, in fact, with his identity, today it is the protagonist of the moth, plus in the Chinese embassy, he should sit on the main seat.

Love the house and Wu, Concubine Jin thought about these four words, and was even more grateful.

Several clan patriarchs took turns to toast Ye Zhao, with a humble posture, and Zhao Bingkui even confessed his guilt, saying that he had three crimes, the first crime, the investigation was unclear, which led to the rebellion of attacking the Chinese embassy; Second, I don't know that the regent came to Seoul and disturbed the king, and the crime was unforgivable; The three military horses guarded the palace to protect the king and the envoys, but because the military order was not passed, the forbidden army clashed with the prince regent's army, which is a three-crime crime.

Ye Zhao drank the wine he toasted and said with a smile: "Yuan Jun don't take everything into account, it's not your fault." With a slight flush in his heart, Zhao Bingkui seemed to be guilty, but in fact, he was the real manager of Seoul, was this for himself?

Ye Zhao glanced at Concubine Jin and made a look.

Concubine Jin waited, and hurriedly stabbed Li Yu secretly.

Li Yu still remembered the serious matter of this concubine's thousand instructions, put down the wine glass, and pondered in his heart, this Chinese fruit wine tastes really delicious, but he wants to ask the regent for more.

Seeing that Concubine Ai frequently gestured with her eyes, Li Yu smiled and said to Zhao Bingkui: "Yitang, this position of left council, this king already has a plan, Jin Bingxue was famous for his intelligence when he was young, and now he is academically successful, and he is very popular in Hucao, so he can lead the post of left council, do you think it is good?" ”

Listening to Li Yu's tone of discussion, Concubine Jin sighed in her heart, but it is no wonder that the king was a branch of the declining royal family, and when the first king died, he was adopted as an adopted son by the princess of Fengyang Zhao's Shenzhen to succeed to the throne, from the first day of his accession to the throne, in fact, he has not really tasted the power of the world, in the end, deep in his heart, he is still the humility of the declining son.

"No way!" Zhao Bingkui was stunned when he heard Li Yu's words, and then categorically refused, Jin Bingxue is the elder brother of Concubine Jin, nearly forty years old, and he is the leader of the new generation of Anton Jin's family, but unfortunately, when the army rebelled, he didn't know where he hid and failed to cut him off in one fell swoop.

At the beginning of the chaos, Princess Shenzhen told Li Yu and gave Zhao Bingkui the title of leading the government, at that time Li Yu was trapped in the palace, and he didn't have the slightest idea, what did the princess say.

Li Yu was stunned, he had to discuss with the courtiers in national affairs all his life, at first he was the Zhao family brothers, and in the past two years, he has become the Jin family brothers, and now he has to look at Zhao Bingkui's eyes, and he was rejected by the head-wrenching face, Li Yu could only say: "Then, let's talk again, discuss again." Turning a blind eye to Concubine Jin's eyes.

Concubine Jin was extremely angry, but when she saw her father smiling and nodding at her, she was sure in her heart and said in a certain voice: "The council, the king has already made a decision on this matter, and the council doesn't need to say much." In addition, the son of Xijun is cute and intelligent, and the palace will lead him as an adopted son, and the council can discuss with the ministers to choose an auspicious ceremony. ”

Zhao Bingkui was even more stunned, and said without thinking: "This matter is not appropriate, the king is in his prime, he said that he will give birth to Ling'er, and the princess is too worried." ”

Concubine Jin has the support of her father and the king, and she is extremely courageous, even if the Jin family has never been so calm in her heart when she was in power, in the face of the culprit who killed her father and uncle, Concubine Jin really wanted to eat her flesh raw, but she knew that now was not the time, so she just said coldly: "The king and the palace have made up their minds, and there is no need to talk about it in the hall." ”

Zhao Bingkui said unhappily: "The princess's words are wrong, the position of Zuo Yizheng is very important, and the adoption of bloodline is a matter involving the safety of the royal family, but has she ever been approved by the princess?" He looked at Li Yu again and said, "Your Majesty! Come on! ”

Li Yu covered his face with his sleeves and drank.

At this time, I heard a crisp voice say: "I heard that Korea is a country of etiquette, the land of the eastern part of China, but how can a king not be a king, and a minister is not a minister, it is really incomprehensible." ”

It was Ding Qimei who spoke, wearing a green beret, kneeling on black riding boots, a beautiful female officer with a different style, looking at Zhao Bingkui at the moment, her words were calm, without a trace of emotional fluctuations, but everyone could hear the ridicule.

Zhao Bingkui knew that she was the supreme commander of the [***] team in Seoul today, but after all, the regent did not speak, this military attache thought that things were different from civilian officials, and would not think too much about interest entanglements, so although Zhao Bingkui was shocked in his heart, he remembered that the Chinese were on the left, and Concubine Jin was the daughter of the regent, but he still smiled and said: "Lord Commander, this is the internal affairs of our Koreans, and there is no need to worry about Lord Commander." "The heart said that the regent is just a balance, and sooner or later he will know that in North Korea, he can't do without me Zhao Bingkui.

Ding Qimei said coldly: "The king of North Korea is the canonized king of our dynasty, and he has the protection of my dynasty, and those who are disrespectful to him are disrespectful to our dynasty!" ”

Zhao Bingkui's heart sank, but he saw Zhang Youcun, the Minister of Oriental International Trade, smiling and arching his hand to Ding Qimei: "Lord Commander, dissipate your anger, I don't mean to come to the council, the king is the lord of Korea, who will be disrespectful to him?" If the king's decree is not in line and is hindered by others, then the king must also pass it on to the ruler in an official document or oral message, so that the ruler can help the king to redress the rebellion. As the prime minister, there are also differences between the council and the king, but this is their own political affairs, and we are just spectators, so there are many opinions. What's more, if the king insists, can the prime minister really go against the king's edict? ”

Ding Qimei didn't squeak, just cut the barbecue piece by piece and put it in her mouth, although she was singing with Ding Qimei, Zhang Youcun couldn't help but smile bitterly, this little girl was very proud, except for the prince, a few Fujin and the Su Jue she had always admired, I was afraid that no one would be looked at by her.

Zhao Bingkui's face turned pale, and he slowly sat back in the banquet, obviously, although the regent didn't speak, this was what he meant.

Looking at the regent who was just quietly tasting wine, Zhao Bingkui suddenly realized that the regent didn't make a sound, not because he didn't care about his face, but because he didn't have to say anything, and he wouldn't say anything to himself, in his eyes, he was not the object of negotiation at all, so to speak, if he wanted to live by himself, he would live, and if he wanted to die, he would die.

At this time, several wealthy parents have already echoed Concubine Jin's intentions, seeing that the regent and Concubine Jin are really doing a fake show, as if they have really become father and daughter, Anton Jin's family has found the strongest backer in history, how can they not show favor one after another?

Seeing this situation, Zhao Bingkui drank with his head bored and did not say anything.

(To be continued)
