An hour later, Shang Shu Tuhai of the Criminal Department, Xuan Ye, the second son of the emperor, surrounded by Ji Kaisheng, Min Xu, Yang Yongjian and others, took the co-leader of the patrol camp, the commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division of the "Middle East Fang" of the "Five Cities and Ten Squares", the small officials such as the Imperial History of the City Patrol, as well as 50 soldiers of the patrol battalion of the Jiumen Army, 50 personal soldiers of the Criminal Department, and the 100th person came to the front of the "Huitong Pavilion" annex near the Yuhe Bridge in Mixiang of the Dongjiang River.

Hongyi, who had just arrived, looked at the modest-sized courtyard in front of him with interest, and was not in a hurry to enter.

Seeing this, Ji Kaisheng on the side knew that this young master who didn't often go out of the imperial city, and at this time, the extremely curious research psychology came up again, so he took a step forward and whispered behind Hongyi:

"Lord Belle, this is the North Korean Pavilion under the Huitong Pavilion under the Ministry of Rites, the Koreans call it the Yuhe Pavilion, but the old man of Jingshi commonly calls it the Goryeo Pavilion."

In the early Qing Dynasty, due to the increasing number of "foreign vassals" and "vassal states" who came to Beijing, the number of years between visits to Beijing and the number of personnel were different, and the work of arranging the museum premises was quite complicated. Among them, the Mongolian ministries and the Korean government are several times a year, and there are a large number of people, in fact, a fixed building has been formed, that is, there are several "annexes" in addition to the Huitong Hall, which are nicknamed "Saudako Hall" and "Goryeo Hall" respectively.

"Oh? Goryeo Pavilion? Hehe, a bunch of Goryeo sticks! Hongyi laughed and mocked, making Ji Kaisheng and the others so puzzled, I don't know if the master said that the old man in Jingshi is a stick, or the North Koreans in this hall are sticks.

Only the little gongzi behind them remembered that when he chose the imperial horse supervisor and the imperial horse that day, the little master had used this "allusion". Therefore, I understood and laughed so much. But then, he puffed out his cheeks, pouted his mouth, and made a "whistling" motion, but he never made any sound.

At this moment, the main entrance of the Goryeo Pavilion was wide open, and a junior official of the Nine Grades ran out of it in a panic. As soon as he came down the steps, he knelt down and asked for peace: "Xiaguan, the Admiral of the Pavilion is Manchu." Hetu. Greetings to the two adults! ”

Hongyi remained silent, just looked at the officials who had already knelt at the door of the pavilion. It seems that they have already seen two great officers standing at the door with hundreds of people, and hurriedly entered to pay homage to the admiral who is in charge of affairs here.

"Master Tu, I'm tired!" Hongyi was the first to say. Then take a step back. Bow down and ask Tuhai to make arrangements.

"Minions command!" Tuhai finished. He raised his hand and said:

"Hetu, you go and tell the Korean envoy. Let's just say that the Minister of Parliament of the Qing Dynasty, the Crown Prince Taibao, the scholar of the Inner Hongwen Academy, and the Shangshu Tuhai of the Criminal Department came to greet him! ”

"Huh! Please wait...... Your Excellency" Hetu didn't dare to delay, and ran in again.

"You guys all get up, when the North Koreans come, do you still want to kneel for them?" Tu Hai pointed to several roofless officials and miscellaneous officials on the steps.

Seeing that those little officials led a group of officials to get up one after another, Tu Hai shouted again: "Cheer up Lao Tzu, although you are just a disciple and a soap, but you are still the servants of the Great Qing Kingdom, you must have the prestige of the Heavenly Empire!" ”

"Huh!" Five or six officials let out a deafening roar.

Hongyi in the back really admires this Tuhai lord's supreme sense of national honor!

After a while, several North Korean officials dressed in clothes very similar to those of the former Ming Dynasty ran out, and the leader stopped on the steps for a while, straightened his hat and crown court clothes, and then walked down the steps unhurriedly and came to Tuhai.

Hongyi takes a closer look, so far there is no one who knows, so it will be easy to do! Perform Ajihua!

"Uh-huh!" Little Baylor coughed, and the person in front naturally understood.

Tu Hai looked at the seven or eight people in front of him, finally frowned, and asked first:

"Are you an envoy of the Korean state? Why don't you wear my court clothes? ”

Unexpectedly, a blue-robed official led by the person did not answer immediately, but stood very calmly two steps away from Tuhai. Then take a step forward with the left foot and the right heel, which is equivalent to a "standing upright" action in Hongyi's eyes.

As he walks side by side, fold his hands around his chest, make a fist with his right hand, face the fist to the left, and the top of the fist is facing the lower end of the middle finger of the left palm; The four fingers of the left hand are wrapped together on the right fist, the thumb is bent and clasped around the right hand, the palms of both hands are facing the chest, the backs of the hands are pushed outward and forward, and the entire upper body is bent at an angle of nearly 90 degrees. This set of actions is meticulously done, but it is also natural. It was only at this time that the person came to hunch his waist and said loudly in Chinese:

"Minister, the envoy of the DPRK, Jin Ruyan, meet with Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department of the Kingdom!"

For the first time, Hongyi saw the so-called "Han Ming" gift of the standard of the ancients - hugging his fists and bowing, so nostalgic for the past and the present:

This has been spread among the Han people since ancient times, after the Zhou, Qin, Han, two Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties of the "Zhou Li", Tang, Song, Jin Liao, Jin, Yuan Dynasty "fork hand ceremony", until the Ming Dynasty evolved and finally formed the so-called "fist ceremony", can be said to have a long history.

And this fist salute, in fact, originated from the ancient military salute, from the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, popular in the Spring and Autumn Period to the two Jin Dynasty period. Until Zhu Yuanzhang became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, because he came out of the folk and served in the military for a long time, he played a decisive role in the promotion and application of the fist salute. And with its strong vitality, in the later Qing and Min periods, together with the Manchurian hug ceremony, greeting the peace ceremony, etc., it was followed by the Han people, the Manchu people, and the people. It's just that it's the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and the main etiquette regulated by the imperial court is Manchurian etiquette.

Hongyi peeked at the people around him, and found that all Han people had some feelings for this long-lost officialdom ceremony, and the expression of "I have relatives in my heart" was naturally revealed, and it is estimated that if it wasn't for the full clothes, and the so-called "subjects of the kingdom" of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that it would have been returned a long time ago! It seems that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has only been in the customs for 12 years, and the love of the Han is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

But Tuhai, who was standing in front of everyone, must not think so. If Hongyi were to face Lord Tuhai at this moment, he would definitely find the disdainful look on his face!

"Since you are a minister, why don't you give me the Qing Dynasty ceremony?" Although Tuhai was worried that the people who came did not know Manchu. had no choice but to change it to Chinese, but it was just deliberately difficult and unreasonable. However, in Hongyi's view, it can be regarded as a "paving" move for today's main task.

"Emperor Taizong of Daxing has already made an appointment with the lord of the lower country, and the monarchs and ministers of our country can wear Hanfu and perform Han salutes, don't blame me!" Jin Ruyan still replied in Chinese, but he was well-founded, answered freely, and answered the two questions before and after Tuhai at the same time.

"My lord, although the envoy of the DPRK is only six grades, he can be regarded as an important member of the subject country. Let's not be rude. Get down to business first. How is it? Hongyi also said the same Chinese saying, and helped in time, so as not to make Tuhai boring.

Jin Ruyan had already noticed that Tu Hai was followed by a child in a yellow "Tartar" court dress, and judged that he should be a prince. Maybe it's the "idler" who comes to visit and play. Because of the number of courtesies. First of all, I want to meet Tuhai who is the leader. Wait for Tuhai's introduction. At this time, the kid said that his grade was very unexpected, and he had to pay attention to it.

"Subordinate grade. How does the little nobleman know? Jin Ruyan asked curiously.

"The envoy is rude! What little nobleman? This is the second son of my Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, Lord Dorobelle, Minister of the Left President of the Firearms Battalion, Prime Minister of the Lower Five Banners Sect, Right Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion and Minister of the Palm Seal of the Royal Servant Bureau, and a dignified second-class member! Tuhai finally seized the opportunity and cross-examined the person for being "rude"!

"Oh, the subordinates have no form! Meet His Royal Highness! When Jin Ruyi heard this, he hurriedly spun forty-five degrees in place, and bowed to Xiao Hongyi again, but he was muttering in his heart:

"There is no one in the Qing Kingdom? Actually let a two- or three-year-old serve so many official errands at the same time? The Hu people have no luck for a hundred years, and it is indeed a sign of the loss of the country! ”

"Haha, Lord Kim doesn't have to be polite. Benbel also came to the door rashly and disturbed it! Hongyi made an unhurried bow, which was counted as a return salute. This move shocked Jin Ruyan! Is this still the prince of the Hu people of the Great Qing Kingdom? Words and deeds are quite exquisite, it seems that there must be a reason for wearing multiple hats!

"Your Majesty is honored!" Jin Ruyan hurriedly said politely.

"It is not surprising that Ben Baylor knows your grade only because of the color of your crown and the shape of your complement. Even the youngest son of this dynasty knows the heron on your body that 'begged for fish but didn't get food, and traveled back and forth on the sandy shore', haha......" Hongyi held his little hand behind his back and said loudly. Let you think that I have no one in China again!

"This ...... This ......" Jin Ruyan was silent.

"Haha, you should indeed be submissive, but this dynasty promises, and there is only one 'sigh' word. The envoy said two in a row, but it was a disease of 'stuttering'! haha！ You also have to work hard to learn Chinese! Haha! Tu Hai also couldn't stop laughing, really embarrassed the many North Korean envoys who were already low in front of him.

Ji Kaisheng, Min Xu, and Yang Yongjian couldn't help snickering in the back. Although I feel the same as the long-lost Qianming clothing, I can't help but be happy to see Hongyi raising the prestige of my country. Xiao Ye quoted a sentence from the Tang Dynasty poet Jia Dao's "Heron" - "Asking for fish but not getting food, the sand bank travels back and forth", which is really a stroke of genius! It seems to imply that the final outcome of this group of counselors is nothing more than "the island moon is alone, and the twilight is cold." The nest fell because of the broken wood, and the lost couple was frightened. Looking at the smoke frequently, I know that the journey is just a general ending......

As for the grade of the envoy, Hongyi is not bad! The official uniform of the Li family in Korea inherited the Ming system, and the heron and bird were the six products, which they knew. However, the difference in color is unknown.

Hongyi benefited from the popularity of Korean dramas in later generations, and has long known that the colors of Lee's official uniforms in North Korea can be divided into purple, red, blue, and green. The official uniforms of the royal family are purple, red for the officials from the first rank to the third grade, blue from the sixth rank to the sixth grade, and green for the seventh to the ninth grade. Jin Ruyan's purple clothes are particularly conspicuous among the pile of green clothes, which is easy to judge.

"Master Jin, don't be limited to etiquette, let's go in and talk." Hongyi grasps the heat, he can't give the sticks too much face, there is a big drama behind!

"Yes, yes! Shangguan please! His Royal Highness the Prince, please! As if he had been granted amnesty, Jin Ruyan hurriedly turned around and gave way, respectfully inviting the Lord Shangguo to enter the museum.

"Lord Belle, please!" Tu Hai turned around to greet Xiao Xuanye, and nodded at the "long follow" [1] of the criminal department behind him.

"Lord Tu, please!" Hongyi didn't see the fifty scattered criminal soldiers behind him, so he first said politely, and then angrily scolded his own person Liang Gong.

Tuhai is no longer humble, and he walks away. Hongyi waited for a while, and the little gongzi behind him carried the young master on his shoulders with a familiar car, and entered the Yuhe Pavilion "high".

Behind him, fifty Tuhai soldiers of the Criminal Department had already made the Yuhe Pavilion impassable. The remaining 50 patrol battalion soldiers, led by several officers, followed "with hostile intent" into the gate of the annex......

[1] "Changsui" means "the servant of the official". The so-called "official servant" was officially called "Changsui" in the Qing Dynasty, commonly known as "Jiading" or "family". Those who are "family" may think that they are the family members of officials. There is some truth to this literal understanding in today's sense. Because in the eyes of the officials at that time, these people were different from the "public men" such as officials and servants, but the people of their families. However, the "family members" of these officials are "servants of officials" and are not family members of officials. The family members of officials are the so-called "official relatives". The meaning of "servant" is very clear, it means servant or slave (to be continued......
