Zhang Yuan knew that Liu Dongmin was a little dissatisfied with his severe punishment of the monk, and said: "Liu Envoy and Jin joined the army, this monk is clearly provoking the relationship between my Daming and your country, as a Korean descendant, saying that the Chinese are cowardly and courageous, saying that your country alone can reach 100 Chinese people, is this a heart-to-heart?" The Ming Dynasty has been established for 250 years, your country has been sheltered by 250 years, your country has been under the difficulty of the Japanese invaders, the fall of Wangjing, the society will fall, the dynasty will send 100,000 divisions, exhaustive years, sacrifice life and forget death, calm the atmosphere, my Ming soldiers bid farewell to their parents, wives and children away from home, go to the land of beacon fire, go through the danger of swords and soldiers, and do not care about their lives and even donate their lives. ”

Zhang Yuan's words were impassioned and loud.

Liu Dongming and Jin Zhongqing were ashamed, and Liu Dongming said: "Zhang Xiu's lesson is that the former Yang Jingluo returned from the class teacher, and Wang Jingshi's men and women wore white hair and sent them out of the northern suburbs. He looked at the monk and reprimanded: "You monk is not good at life and practice, but you talk about state affairs in vain, you are stupid and disobedient, and you should be severely punished." ”

Zhang Yuan said again: "This monk just said that this place was once the capital of Goguryeo, which is true, but the last sentence 'I don't know when I can return to our country', just by virtue of this sentence, it is not too much to sentence you to exile for life, whether it is in the Ming Dynasty or North Korea, you say this is equivalent to a felony of rebellion, the Korean state Shao inherited the inheritance of the son of the Shang king Wending and the uncle of the elbow king, and China is a country of father and son brothers, during which there were Wei Goryeo, Wang Goryeo, Silla, Baekje dynasties, but Goguryeo is not the regime of North Korea, If according to the meaning of this monk's words, then if there are descendants of the Goguryeo royal family, should your country Gwanghaejun give way to the throne? ”

Zhang Yuan's words were sharp, Liu Dongming's heart was turbulent, Guanghaijun was his sister-in-law, and he inherited the throne quite famously, and he secretly executed Linhaijun and Yongchang Maharaja, who might compete for the throne with him. Therefore, Gwanghae-jun is the most taboo about inheritance and fame, and it is impossible for the descendants of the Goguryeo royal family to appear again thousands of years ago, but other members of the Joseon royal family still covet the Joseon throne, and the opposition is still strong. Guanghaijun's position is far from being stable, Zhang Yuan's trip to North Korea to canonize the prince this time is to show the Ming Dynasty's affirmation and support for the Guanghaijun regime, if Zhang Yuan is unhappy because of this monk's nonsense, so that it affects the canonization, that is Liu Dongming will never want to see-

Liu Dongming pleaded with Zhang Yuan: "Zhang Xiu, this evil monk's words are ridiculous, and I am really angry, this monk's ancestors are Koreans. I will punish him on behalf of his Korean ancestors. ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Envoy Liu doesn't have to be angry with such people, just leave it to the thousands of households in this customs office." ”

The monk was nearly six feet tall Ma Kuoqi was pulled like an eagle catching a chicken, at this time he was depressed and did not dare to say a word, Zhang Yuan immediately ordered Ma Kuoqi to take the monk to the thousand households in Lianshan Pass, and Fan Tongshi followed to explain the situation.

At this time, the clouds open and the rain stops, the sun spreads down, and the green ridge in the north of the city reveals the verdant mountains. Zhang Yuan said: "Envoy Liu, it's important to hurry, and tell the post station to hurry up for lunch." How about we make one stop today? ”

Liu Dongming is not begging, and Jin Zhongqing first went back to the post house, Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng did not change their original intentions, still went to the temple to see the lotus, the weather in late April, some lotus flowers have bloomed, the heavy rain in the morning, the green lotus cover and pink, the red lotus wash more beautiful, the garden behind the Puci Temple is quite wide. There are five or six acres, and now there is no one else except Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng, and I saw a little monk probing his bald head before, and then he disappeared-

Ruan Dacheng said with a smile: "Jie Zi can speak well, and Liu Dongming is so ruthless that he can't whip the bald donkey with his own hands." The bald donkey is really hateful, and he even said that North Korea alone is worth 100 of us, if this is the case, does the king of Imjin still need to send several requests for help a day to Beijing! ”…,

Zhang Yuan said: "A small country and a widow, Yelang is arrogant, he has forgotten the pain after the scars, and he has seen that my Ming Dynasty has not been repaired in recent years, and he has just been contemptuous." ”

Ruan Dacheng said: "At first, Liu Dongming seemed to be disapproving, but he was moved by your generous words, and he regretted it. ”

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Not necessarily, it's just that the situation is compelling, I have a little story to tell Brother Ji, there is a girl in a certain Li, beautiful to be married, there are two men who want to propose, one of the men once saved Li Zheng's life while hunting in the mountains, and the other man was saved by Li Zheng - Brother Ji thought that Li Zheng would marry his beloved daughter to which one?" ”

Ruan Dacheng shook his folding fan and said: "Of course, it is promised to the man who saved Lizheng, and I know how to repay it." ”

Zhang Yuan smiled: "It should be like this according to common sense, but in the eyes of some people, facing a life-saving benefactor all day long will feel depressed and uncomfortable, and grace can sometimes be very pleasant, so Li Zheng married his daughter to the man he once saved." ”

Ruan Dacheng said: "This is an ungrateful person, North Korea should not be like this." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Some people, if you treat him ten times, he is used to it and is at ease, but once it is not good, he holds a grudge." ”

Ruan Dacheng asked in a low voice, "Jie Zi is talking about Guanghaijun?" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled: "I didn't say that, I said it in general." ”

Ruan Dacheng smiled.

……

Before the afternoon of April 23, the canonization mission passed through Tangshan City, which is close to the Yalu River, the river is vertical and horizontal, and the shallow water will wade through, and the deep river will hire a ferry, and there are very few bridges in the north, Liu Dongming will send someone to ride a fast horse to the front to prepare the ferry one day before speeding up the journey, so it will not waste time waiting on the shore -

After the afternoon after Dishui, more than ten miles out of the border between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea Yalu River, Yizhou soldiers and horses control so that An Rune has already learned the news of the angel's imminent arrival, sent the naval army Yu Hou to lead five board house boats to wait on the north bank, the naval army Yu Hou to meet Zhang Yuan, Liu Dongming, pointed to the south bank of the Yalu River and said: "The king sent to meet the Heavenly Empire's canonization mission, His Excellency Cao Liu, has arrived in Yizhou, and the humble party has ordered the fast boat to cross the river, informing the angel that he has arrived at the Yalu River, and His Excellency Liu Senju will go to the river to greet him. ”

Liu Dongming was overjoyed, and said to Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng: "Liu Shen is my younger brother, named Xiya, the day before yesterday in Guangning, I sent someone to rush back to China for 400 miles to report the news, my king knew that the angel was coming, so he sent someone to the border to greet him." ”

Zhang Yuanxin said: "The cultural Liu family is really a big Korean family, Liu Dongming is the general of the Janissary in the second rank, and his younger brother is Hu Cao Shenju, all of whom are powerful figures. ”

Zhang Yuan has some knowledge of the North Korean bureaucracy. The Kingdom of Korea set up six Caos under the Yizhi Government, including households, rites, soldiers, workers, and punishments, and the Yiyang Government is equivalent to the Ming Cabinet, and the Liucao is equivalent to the Six Ministries, and the head of the Liucao is called the judgment. Zheng Erpin, the deputy title is the judge, from the second grade, Liu Dongming's brother Liu Xiya is the Hu Cao Judge, which is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's Hubu Shilang, Guanghai Jun sent from the second grade of the Hu Cao Judge thousands of miles to welcome, it can be seen that the importance of the Ming Dynasty's canonization this time -

These five medium-sized slab boats belonged to the North Korean navy. Can sail in the coastal sea, each ship is nearly eight zhang long, and at one time the more than 100 people of the mission were transported across the Yalu River together with the carriages and horses and the thirty carts of goods of the merchant Zhang Rushen under the eunuch Lu.

Zhang Yuan and Liu Dongming stood side by side on the bow of the boat, Zhang Yuan looked at the mighty river under the slanting sun, and said in his heart: "I, Zhang Jiezi, am also majestic today. It's over the Yalu River. ”

Liu Dongming is very happy, today is April 23, and he can rush to Yizhou City. 1,200 miles from Yizhou to Wangjing, there was no problem in arriving before the birthday of Prince Li Zhen, and a big stone fell in his heart, Liu Dongming pointed to the south bank that was getting closer and closer: "Zhang Xiu, please see, my brother is here to welcome the angel." ”…,

Zhang Yuan asked Ma Kuoqi to take his clairvoyant mirror, adjust the focus and take a look, the south bank was waving flags and lined up neatly, and the sound of drums and music came faintly with the river breeze, Zhang Yuan said to Liu Dongming: "General Liu will see which one is the younger brother Liu Hucao." ”

Liu Dongming looked carefully at the telescope and said in surprise: "The scene from miles away is discussable. The fact of the Heavenly Empire is miraculous - the Yizhou soldiers and horses are controlled, so that An Rune also came to greet the angels. ”

While speaking, the big boat arrived ashore, Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng were accompanied by Liu Dongming, Xu Yun, and Jin Zhongqing to get off the ship first, and Hu Cao participated in the judgment of Liu Xiya and Yizhou soldiers and horses to control the soldiers and horses, An Rune stepped forward to salute, Liu Xiya could not speak Chinese, and was translated by Jin Zhongqing and Fan Tongshi. It is nothing more than the grace of heaven and the hard work of angels from afar.

An Rune set up tents and set up wine by the river, and washed the dust for the envoys of the Celestial Empire, and the officials of Yiju stepped forward one by one to toast the angels, and the court dress and etiquette of these Korean officials were similar to those of China.

In the twilight, Zhang Yuan and his entourage galloped into the city of Yizhou from the bottom of the five hundred soldiers of the Fuying camp in Yizhou, Yizhou is the closest city to the border of the Ming Dynasty in North Korea, belongs to the right road of peace, although it is a state city, but the city system is narrow, the low wall and the wall, on the defense are not as good as a post fort of the Ming Dynasty, the market is quite lively, the merchants from the Ming Dynasty, the Jianzhou Jurchens, the Mongols, and even the distant East China Sea Jurchens have to do business here, tea, ginseng, deer antlers, pearls, mink, linen, donkey horses, pigs and sheep and so on have a wide variety of goods, However, iron tools and bow horns are forbidden to be bought and sold, and the flames produced in North Korea to make gunpowder are also prohibited, and the residents of the city of Uiju are mostly Han Chinese.

Seeing Zhang Rushen's caravan entering the city, many traders gathered around and asked what kind of goods and how much did they cost? Zhang Rushen strictly ordered his subordinates not to answer, his goods would not be sold here, thirty carts of fine silk, colored satin, porcelain, and wood carvings were worth fifteen thousand taels of silver, where could these barbarian peddlers afford that price, only the princes, nobles, and gentry of Pyongyang and Seoul could afford it—

That night, the delegation rested in the Yishun Pavilion, and the next morning, Liu Dongming and Liu Xiya brothers accompanied Zhang Yuan and others on the road, and since entering the territory of North Korea, there were North Korean officials and sergeants along the way to greet them, escort them, change horses, and arrange meals and accommodations properly, and they were happy that the weather was fine, and the mission marched faster than in Liaodong——

At the beginning of April 29, the second largest city in North Korea, Xijing Pyongyang, was in sight, and when it was about to reach the suburbs, they listened to the sound of drums and music, and the crowd of people in colorful clothes and colorful clothes came with singing and dancing, the incense pavilion, the dragon pavilion, the guard of honor, and the drum music were lively and prosperous, and the staff bearer wore a black gauze crown on his head, wore a sunflower shirt with large sleeves, and tied a gold nail belt around his waist. In the Taiping vertical arch of the world, Haidong has nothing to do in the ploughing. ”

The king of Korea, Gwanghae-kun, learned that the envoys of the Celestial Empire had crossed the Yalu River, and sent Li Cao to judge Yu Yan to rush to Pyongyang to greet him, in order to show his respect for the angels, Yu Yan and Zhang Yuan and others finished the salute, and entered the city of Pyongyang, and set up a feast in the Datong Pavilion that night.

The banquet hall in the Datong Pavilion is brightly lit and the dishes are sumptuous, just like the palace banquet scene in the Korean drama "Dae Jang Jin", there are eight pastries alone, all of which are different, other chicken ginseng, bear paws, pheasant meat, moxibustion, abalone...... There are dozens of delicacies from various mountains and seas, and North Korean officials such as Liu Dongming, Liu Xiya, and Yu Yan frequently raise their glasses to persuade angel Zhang Yuan and others to drink. This wine is a famous North Korean wine produced in Gyeongju, with the unique aroma of glutinous rice wine, similar to the taste of Shaoxing wine, Zhang Yuanpin is quite cordial——

Three rounds of drinking. But when Zhang Yuan raised his eyes, he saw two lines of female music, about 20 people, all dressed in makeup and ornaments, light and slender. Each holding a musical instrument ascends to the hall and kneels down——...,

Li Cao Shen sentenced Yu Yan to get up and arch his hand to Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng and said: "The angel is far away, Xiaobang has nothing to serve, this female musician is under the order of the king to bring it from Wang Jing to Fenghuan, I hope that the two adults are not vulgar and allow them to serve." ”

Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng glanced at each other, and both of them thought in their hearts: "Guanghaijun is really enthusiastic, he actually sent a female musician from Seoul to serve, and listened to Yu's tone." I also want these female musicians to wait for me! ”

Ruan Dacheng is lustful, and he has long heard that Goryeo women are gentle and beautiful, and he really wants to taste the flavor of exotic women. But he is a deputy envoy, and he doesn't dare to be the master, and see what Zhang Yuan thinks?

The dignified envoys couldn't control themselves, and allowed the North Korean female music to sleep, which was cool at the time, but it was inevitable that they would be looked down upon by the North Korean officials, and after returning to China, they might be impeached by the officials one day, he Zhang Jiezi is not such a casual person-

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that your country's music has the legacy of the Tang and Song dynasties, and I am willing to listen." ”

Liu Dongming and Liu Xiya brothers looked at each other and smiled, and the envoys of the Ming Dynasty came to North Korea. The king of Joseon will order the female music to serve, and most of the Ming envoys from Confucianism refuse, and there are also indulgent and tolerant, and there are also those who accept bribes, and this time the two angels are making them twenty years old. The deputy envoys have just passed thirty, and they are all young and youthful, and they must also accept the female music attendants-

After kneeling under the temple of the twenty-two female musicians bowed to the angel, they got up and stepped forward, these female musicians either carried the Great Order, Tang Di, Taiping Xiao, folding fan beat, or held the tooth zheng, Xi Qin, Xuanhe Qin, Gayaqin, or carried a staff drum, a thin waist long drum, and two female musicians carried a seat drum hanging on the frame, and would play Korean music for the envoys of the Celestial Empire—

The twenty-two women were all seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing pink or jade short tunics, with a puffy purple skirt underneath, and a red ribbon hanging down from the waist, looking light and elegant, and the hairstyles of these women were exactly the same, neatly combed, not messy, with a wide and smooth forehead, and their eyes were only looking at the tip of their noses and feet, and they looked particularly gentle and quiet—

The girl holding the folding fan in both hands spread her arms and turned her wrists sharply, and the folding beat made of six wooden planks made a crisp tapping sound—

As if awakened by the sound of this beat, the sound of the "Dong Dong Dong" seat drum sounded, the dense drum beat suddenly, the first sound was seizing, when the drum gradually thinned, the Tang flute, Da Ling, Taiping Xiao these wind instruments began to whine leisurely, and then there were teeth and zithers, Xi Qin joined, each with its own tone, but so harmonious and beautiful-

Zhang Yuan didn't put much effort into the rhythm, but his eldest brother Zhang Dai is fond of music, used to play and sing every day in the Xizhang eatable class, and now there is Wang in the boudoir subtle interpretation of the rhythm, Yashan, Shang Ran's piano is also often entertaining, Zhang Yuan's ears are stained, the taste is quite high, at this time listening to this Korean ancient music, I feel very wonderful, I can't help but relax, leisurely into the mind -

"Knock knock knock", four girls with slender waist long drums on their backs dance while drumming in front of them, close to Zhang Yuan's feast, these four girls hold thin bamboo drumsticks in both hands, and carry the slender waist long drum on their backs, the two sides of the drum are not of general size, the big side is covered with yellow cowhide, the small side is white fish skin, the thin bamboo drumsticks alternately beat the drum, single drum point, single flower point, double flower point, rolling, vibrating, the technique is varied, skillful, the drum sound is suddenly soft and deep, both unpredictable and very rhythmic, and their dance is particularly distinctive, With the posture of drumming, twisting the neck, swinging the waist, turning the arms to the side, the light rotating steps, the short clothes are neat, the purple skirts are fluttering, it is extremely beautiful, and their eyes are no longer low-eyebrowed, and the eye waves flicker with the drumbeat in anticipation, which is simply amorous and charming-

Zhang Yuan pressed the beat on his lap with his hand, leisurely admiring, the lights were bright and green, his eyes were blurred, it looked like these four striking girls were the same, her facial features were delicate and beautiful, were they all plastic surgery? …,

There was a dancing girl jumping lightly, and gradually arrived in front of Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng's seat, the drum beat was hoarse, Zhang Yuan was suddenly alert, and was about to stand up, but saw that the dancing girl put the thin bamboo drumstick, the fine light flickered, and there was a thin bladed short knife hidden in the drumstick, no handle, about five inches long, the dancer's hand holding the knife had been cut by the sharp blade, and the red blood dripped from the edge of the palm onto the flat masonry surface-

There was an exclamation in the banquet hall, and Liu Dongming shouted: "There are assassins!" ”

Zhang Yuan pulled Ruan Dacheng and retreated, but he heard the dancing girl holding the knife say sharply: "Don't be alarmed, angels, how dare the little woman hurt the angels of the kingdom-"

The dancer stared at Zhang Yuan when she spoke, and with the other hand, she violently ripped open the jade-colored short shirt, and there was no other clothes in the short shirt, with a bare white chest, and before anyone could see it clearly, the knife in her hand slammed back and thrust into her own heart-
