Chapter 751: Love is hard to break
In the middle of November of the ninth year of Xuande, the delegation of the Kingdom of Korea arrived in the city of Beijing, and after a two-month long journey, they came to Beizhili through Liaodong.
On the same day that the Joseon Kingdom delegation arrived in the capital, after the official envoy of the Ministry of Rites was presented at the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, the chief envoy of the mission, the great prince of Shouyang, Li Yao, and the deputy envoy, Licao Jushu Shen Shang, and the deputy envoy Choi Li came to pay a visit.
It is worth mentioning that before the envoy to the Ming Dynasty, the king of Joseon promoted Cui Li from the council hall of the fifth grade to the fourth rank of the housekeeper, in order to show favor to Li Yuntian.
Li Yuntian is not only a celebrity in front of Emperor Xuande, but also the highest-ranking Ming envoy to the Korean Kingdom, although Li Yuntian used a fake identity at that time, this does not prevent the fact that he is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be said that he is the Ming magnate with the deepest friendship with the Korean Kingdom.
Moreover, the reason why the Liaodong Military Region and the Jurchens launched an offensive against the Korean Kingdom was that Li Yuntian's figure loomed behind him.
The reason is very simple, if there is no nod from a powerful figure of the Ming Dynasty, the Liaodong Military Region will not rashly start a war no matter what, considering that Li Yuntian put the 50,000 Korean soldiers in Kaiyuan City and Phoenix City to form a deterrent to the Korean Kingdom, the King of Korea naturally guessed that the person who planned this matter behind the scenes was Li Yuntian.
Therefore, the king of Joseon wanted to find out his details from Li Yuntian, and wanted to see what kind of attitude Li Yuntian had towards the Korean Kingdom.
Li Yuntian held a banquet at home to entertain Li Jin, Shen Shang and Cui Li, because Li Yuntian was in a high position, which made Li Jin and the three of them somewhat restrained, after all, the officialdom was strictly hierarchical, and they could not mess with their dignity and humility.
"Lord Guogong, Miss Liu Zhen also came to the capital with the mission, preparing to go to the south of the Ming River to learn dance arts, and now she lives in the Drunken Moon Pavilion." Before leaving, Cui Li deliberately left the living room one step later than Li Yu and Shen Shang, and bowed to Li Yuntian and whispered.
In fact, not only Yoo Jin, but also Park Yong-gil, president of the Seoul branch of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, who came to Daming with the delegation of the Kingdom of Korea, came to attend the triennial national meeting of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce to be held in Yangzhou next year to discuss the development of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce in the next three years and coordinate the trade between the branches.
After two years of training, Liu Zhen has no opponent in the Korean national dance, so he came to the Ming Dynasty to learn from the singing and dancing queen of the Ming Dynasty, absorbing the essence of the Ming dance art, and improving it to a new realm.
Drunken Moon Pavilion is one of the famous green buildings in the capital, Li Yuntian's wife Lian Xiang came out of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, and now Lian Xiang is already a famous drama master in the Ming Dynasty, often entering the palace to perform for the Queen Mother and the Queen.
After learning that Liu Zhen was the first dancing girl in the Korean country, the boss of the Zuiyue Pavilion naturally entertained him, and specially arranged a place for Liu Zhen and his entourage, and had already spread the news of the Korean country's stunning dancing girl performing in the capital.
Li Yuntian felt that Cui Li's eyes seemed to be a little strange when he told him about Liu Zhen's whereabouts, knowing that this kid had misunderstood the relationship between him and Liu Zhen, so he smiled and didn't take this matter to heart, in his opinion, it was a good thing that Liu Zhen could have a new life, and at this moment he didn't realize that Liu Zhen would cause him trouble.
"Grandpa Guo, there is a woman who claims to be a dancing girl of the Korean National Mission who asks to see her outside the courtyard gate, saying that a woman named Yoo Jin has been arrested and sent to the Nancheng Terracotta Division, and asks Guogong to help."
One night at the end of November, when Li Yuntian was talking about Wutang handling the official business at hand, a guard suddenly entered the door to report.
"Ryu Zhen?" Li Yuntian couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and after a deep groan, he ordered, "Bring her in." ”
"Lord Guogong, please save my girl, or she will be killed." Soon, two guards led a frightened young woman wearing North Korean clothes to walk in, and when they saw Li Yuntian, they immediately knelt down, kowtowing in a somewhat stiff Liaodong dialect while kowtowing.
"What happened to Miss Liu?" Li Yuntian glanced at the woman and asked quietly.
"My girl danced to some distinguished guests tonight, but a son insisted on taking my girl as a concubine, and forcibly took my girl to the room, but my girl stabbed him with a hairpin and was taken away by the people of Nanjing Terracotta Division." The young woman recalled the situation in shock, kowtowed to Li Yuntian again, and said with a crying voice, "Lord Guogong, please save my girl, that son said that it is better to let my girl live in prison than to die!" ”
"You go to the Nancheng Terracotta Division and tell the deputy commander of the Nancheng Terracotta Division on duty that my father was going to take Miss Liu into the palace to perform to the emperor three days later, and let him quickly investigate the case and report it, if Miss Liu is indeed guilty, then my father has to dispel the idea of letting Miss Liu enter the palace."
After listening to the young woman's words, Li Yuntian's brows suddenly frowned slightly, he had long been accustomed to this kind of thing of the children of the powerful who were messing with flowers and grass, and with Liu Zhen's beauty, it would definitely make many powerful children tempted, so it was inevitable that this kind of overlord would be forced to bow hard, so he groaned for a while and said to a guard with the rank of captain standing at the door.
Obviously, it was inconvenient for Li Yuntian to take direct action on Liu Zhen's matter, so he used a tactful method to force the powerful kid who was stabbed by Liu Zhen to retreat.
Li Yuntian didn't want to be too entangled in this matter, so he was not interested in knowing the identity of the son of the powerful man, anyway, after the guard went to the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses, no one would dare to think about Liu Zhen in the future.
"Grandpa Guo, Miss Liu Zhen has arrived." More than half an hour later, when Li Yuntian was flipping through an official document sent by the Guangxi Governor's Office about agriculture in Jiaozhi, the voice of the guards came from outside the door.
"Please let her in." Hearing this, Li Yuntian closed the official document in his hand and said in a deep voice.
"People's girl Liu Zhen, knock to see Lord Guogong." Under Li Yuntian's gaze, Liu Zhen, who was wearing a North Korean skirt, then walked in quickly, knelt on one knee and saluted Li Yuntian.
Because they were dressed in the costumes of the show, it was the highest etiquette for prostitutes to kneel on one knee without having to kneel on both knees.
"No courtesy." Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, he stretched out his hand to signal Liu Zhen to get up, and then looked at her quietly and asked, "What's wrong with your face?" ”
Although Liu Zhen lowered his head when he came in, Li Yuntian still saw a clear slap mark on her left cheek at a glance, and there was a half-bandage on the right side of her neck inside the collar, which made Li Yuntian feel very surprised, he never expected Liu Zhen to be hurt like this.
"I accidentally hit the door." Hearing this, Liu Zhen raised her head, reached out and covered her left cheek and smiled at Li Yunting, looking casual, which also made the bandage wrapped around her right neck more conspicuous.
I haven't seen each other for more than two years, Liu Zhen has become more beautiful and beautiful, due to the increase in age, he has a mature charm, his eyes are as tender as water, and his smile is like a flower, which makes Li Yuntian slightly stunned, and he can't help but feel a burst of pity, and then he can't help but feel a pity in his heart, I didn't expect things to come to this point.
Although Li Yuntian knew that Liu Zhen was not telling the truth, since Liu Zhen concealed the truth of the matter, then there must be her reasons, if she intervened, it would be a bit of a fuss, after all, the people in the capital did not know the relationship between him and Liu Zhen.
As Li Yuntian thought, Liu Zhen had already reached a settlement with the powerful kid who caused the incident, and the powerful kid originally wanted to find someone to torture Liu Zhen in the prison of the Nancheng Terracotta Division, anyway, a prostitute like Liu Zhen who came from afar was like a duckweed drifting in the water, even if he killed Liu Zhen, no one would pay attention.
This powerful kid couldn't have imagined that the seemingly weak Liu Zhen not only bravely resisted his violence and tied a hairpin on his thigh, but also when he was angry and let those fox friends and dog friends who came to rape Liu Zhen, Liu Zhen actually put a pair of scissors on his neck in order to keep his chastity, and made a cut on the snow-white neck after someone approached with a lewd smile, which frightened the other party.
Drunken Moon Pavilion is not an ordinary place, the son of the powerful didn't dare to make a big deal here, so he asked the people from the Nancheng Terracotta Division who rushed to the scene to take Liu Zhen away, and wanted to clean up Liu Zhen in the Nancheng Terracotta Division.
However, what shocked the children of the famous and powerful was that just when he was angrily planning how to repair Liu Zhen, Li Yuntian's personal guards actually went to the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division and told Li Yuntian, the deputy commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division on duty in the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses, that Li Yuntian was going to take Liu Zhen into the palace to perform for the emperor three days later.
After the war with the Tatars and Warat, Li Yuntian was able to become a duke, and officially became one of the top magnates in the Ming officialdom, and was able to participate in the highest-level court meetings attended by the officials of the nine secretaries of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China.
Don't say that the son of the powerful man who caused the accident, even his father has to give three points in front of Li Yuntian, don't look at this powerful kid who shows off his martial arts on weekdays, but in front of his father, he is docile like a quail, and he doesn't even dare to take a breath of air.
Now, this powerful son not only offended Li Yuntian's woman, but also ruined Li Yuntian's dance to Emperor Xuande, he can't afford this consequence anyway, do you want Liu Zhen to dance to Emperor Xuande with red and swollen cheeks?
Therefore, the son of the powerful man was extremely frightened, and led a group of fox friends and dog friends involved in him to staggered to the prison of the Nancheng Terracotta Division, knelt in front of Liu Zhen and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Although Liu Zhen hated the bullying powerful son in her heart, she didn't want to cause trouble for Li Yuntian, so she forgave the other party, so she didn't tell Li Yuntian the truth.
"Come on, go to Tai Hospital and ask Dr. Liu to treat Miss Liu." Li Yuntian quickly came back to his senses, glanced at Liu Zhen's snow-white neck, and gave an order to the guards at the door.
Imperial Physician Liu is the best imperial doctor in Tai Hospital to treat trauma, because Emperor Xuande made a gracious decree as early as after Li Yuntian pacified Jiaozhi, and assigned the best doctors in Tai Hospital to Li Yuntian, and Li Yuntian could call them for diagnosis and treatment at any time.
"Lord Guogong, the daughter of the people has seen the doctor, and the wound is not in the way." Hearing this, Liu Zhen hurriedly waved her hand to Li Yuntian, she didn't want to trouble Li Yuntian.
"If you don't treat it carefully, you'll have a scar on your neck, and you don't want to wear a high-necked dress in the summer." Li Yuntian knew Liu Zhen's thoughts, smiled at her and bowed slightly to the guard at the door, and the guard bowed and left.
"My father has asked the female officer of the school to boil hot water for you, you can go and take a bath." After the guard left, Li Yuntian glanced at Liu Zhen, who was a little gray and had a lot of stains on his clothes, and said with a smile, he had been to the prison of the Nancheng Terracotta Division, and knew that the environment inside was dirty and muddy, so he had asked Liu Zhen to prepare bath water.
"Thank you, Grandpa Guo." Liu Zhen's clothes were already stained with a lot of the smell of the cell, and he was feeling uncomfortable, and when he heard this, he bowed to Li Yuntian and the young woman who came to report the news before went to the women's bath room of the martial arts hall under the guidance of two guards.
Li Yuntian groaned after seeing Liu Zhen leave, sat back behind the desk and continued to read the official documents, but for some reason his mood seemed a little impetuous, and he was always unable to concentrate, and he couldn't help but see Liu Zhen's image in front of him, this time fortunately Liu Zhen had an accident in the capital, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
