Speaking of this, he deliberately paused for a moment, and the prince soon understood.

"The army officers and soldiers on the transport ship should also be dealt with and not allowed to leave the port!" He immediately made a decision, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Song, "Zhao Luzheng, it's up to you to restrain your subordinates." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please rest assured, the minister will definitely restrain his subordinates and never allow them to leave Hong Kong without permission." Zhao Song immediately responded, "The minister has already made the situation clear to the officers under him, and they will never dare to disobey the military order and ruin the affairs of the imperial court." ”

"That's very good." The prince smiled with satisfaction.

Then, his face became serious again. "Liao Tong, has the minister of Goryeo already arrived?"

"Yes, it has already come, Your Highness." This time it was someone else who answered.

It was a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and a small character, and he had been standing on the side, respectfully silent. He is Liao Hui, the commander of Ganghwa Island, because Ganghwa Island has both civil affairs and harbors and garrisons, so there are many Han garrisons, and in order to unify management, a commander was set up to lead the civil affairs and the army and navy garrisons, similar to the governor.

Liao Hui served in the Liaodong Army before, and made a lot of meritorious achievements in battle, accumulating merit and being promoted to the battalion, and later injured his left leg during an expedition, so he retired with the retirement money and consolation money given by the imperial court.

In order to solve his later life after being discharged from the army, the above also deliberately found a position for him to choose, and after deliberation, he chose to serve as the commander of Jianghua Island.

He felt that the climate of Jianghua Island was pleasant, and the commander could supervise the civil and military affairs, which was a cheap and honorable abolition, and because he was an officer of the Liaodong Army and had military merits, he was also very convinced by him, and everyone got along very well in the past few years, Liao Hui got a leisurely and well-paid retired official position, and for the imperial court, it was also a good candidate for the commander, which was the best of both worlds.

However, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived on Jianghua Island, Liao Hui's idle life could not last, he came to the military port early in the morning to meet the prince, and then tremblingly dragged his stump on the Songshan and waited for the prince's dispatch.

Usually he is the emperor of the soil, but in front of the prince and the two bigwigs of the army and navy, where can he speak? can only stay silently aside, waiting to be mentioned by the prince.

After waiting for a long time, the prince finally mentioned himself, and Liao Hui didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly explained to him.

"The welcoming minister of the Goryeo court had already arrived the night before yesterday, and it was Kim Sun-kook, the auxiliary minister."

Because they had been ruled by the Han mission in advance, the Goryeo court generally knew the prince's itinerary between Liaodong and Goryeo, and of course they did not dare to slack off, and they had already sent a delegation to welcome His Royal Highness the crown prince of the Chinese Dynasty.

"They're respectful." The prince sighed, "I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble next." ”

Since it was a tour of Liaodong and Goryeo, the country of Goryeo could not be missed, he had to follow the Goryeo welcome group to Seoul to meet the lord of Goryeo, and there were a lot of miscellaneous ceremonial affairs to do, which was really a headache to think about, but he had to do it.

"Okay, then don't keep them waiting, let's get off the boat." After calming down, the prince got up directly.

In the early morning sea breeze, the prince walked down the Songshan with Cai De and Zhao Song.

Unlike Jinzhou City, the area of Ganghwa Island is very small, so the military port does not occupy a large area, and there is no special post house to receive him. However, as the prince's honor, he will naturally get the best reception, and Liao Hui, the commander of Ganghwa Island, deliberately gave up his official office and let the prince live, fortunately, the prince will only stay on Ganghwa Island for one day before leaving for Seoul, otherwise I don't know how much trouble it will cause them.

Because he knew that he was no longer of much use, Liao Hui was also very interested, and as soon as he got off the ship, he began to patrol around the military port, urging the officials and garrisons to do things carefully, and left his official office to the prince and others.

According to etiquette, the crown prince first had to meet with the Goryeo ministers who came to greet him, but he did not do so immediately, but called Shi Gaoyi, the head of the Han mission in Goryeo who followed him to Goryeo, to his side.

"Head Shi, you've worked hard this time." As soon as he saw the other party, the prince indifferently greeted the other party first.

Since he reprimanded Shi Gaoyi in person, he has never talked to the other party alone, and this time he set off for Goryeo, and did not arrange Shi Gaoyi to be on the Songshan that he was riding, but just let him accompany him on another warship. The prince wants to use this method to snub the other party, so that he understands that he has a dislike for him, and stop thinking about tricks.

After all, Shi Gaoyi has been mixed in the Han officialdom for so many years, of course, he is also interesting, he didn't dare to disturb the prince, he didn't come to the prince until he was summoned, and he didn't dare to talk much, just stood quietly, which made the prince a little unbearable.

"Your Highness." After hearing the prince's question, Shi Gaoyi replied respectfully, "It's not very hard for the minister to take a boat all the way, but I just hate to share more worries for His Highness." ”

"Before, at sea, you couldn't share your worries, but now that you're in Goryeo, it's time for you to share your worries." The crown prince waved his hand, "Now that we have arrived at Ganghwa Island, we are going to meet the monarchs of Goryeo." The Goryeo Imperial Court had already sent a delegation to welcome him the day before yesterday, led by the Auxiliary Minister Kim Sung-kook, Head Shi, you have been dealing with him in Goryeo for several years, what kind of person is this Kim Hun-guo? ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Jin Xinguo is cunning and treacherous, please deal with it carefully, and don't be confused by him." Shi Gaoyi replied immediately.

Perhaps feeling that the crown prince looked at him with a strange expression, he hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, the minister is not taking advantage of personal grudges to maliciously slander the country of Jinxin, but this Goryeo minister is too hateful." ”

"How hateful is he?" The prince was not in a hurry, but asked quite calmly.

"This person was in the court of the abolished king Li Ju before, and he could only be regarded as depressed, but after Li Hui returned to the country, he was lucky enough to enter and became Li Hui's right-hand man. As an auxiliary minister, he held the authority of Goryeo, and should cooperate with us to effectively consolidate the diplomatic relations between the two countries, but he deliberately disobeyed the yang and the yin, and proclaimed that he was afraid of the Chinese state, but secretly he was hindered in various ways, and the things entrusted to him by the mission were either not done or delayed, and our mission suffered greatly. And...... It was he who secretly instigated Li Hui to alienate our Han mission, saying that 'the affairs of Goryeo should be settled by the people of Goryeo themselves, and should not be subject to the Han Dynasty', and instigated the Goryeo monarchs and ministers to separate from us. If not...... If it weren't for him, the lord of Goryeo wouldn't be so stiff with us now. ”

Speaking of this, he himself felt a little sad. As far as he is concerned, Goryeo is calm and calm, and it is best to be obedient to the Han costume all the time, if Li Hui really obeys the words of the embassy all the time, how can he provoke so many incidents? So now he is not only dissatisfied with Li Hui, but also has a little hatred for Jin Xinguo.

"In this way, the turmoil caused by the two countries, Jin Xinguo is also to blame......" Seeing that Shi Gaoyi said it so painfully, the prince also believed it a little.

"Please also ask the prince to be aware of everything, and never let those villains get a plan!" Shi Gaoyi said as he bowed down heavily.

The prince looked at him quietly, and after a moment motioned for him to look up.

"I know, Head Shi, you can go with me to see Jin Xinguo." Then, as if he remembered something, "By the way, does this Jinxin Congress speak Chinese?" ”

Because Shi Gaoyi had planned to deceive him before, he was only suspicious of the other party now, and he didn't take it completely seriously, besides, as an auxiliary minister of the Goryeo court, Jin Xinguo had a very high status, and he couldn't help but respect him—even if it was superficial respect.

At the very least, a polite reception is still a must.

"The monarchs and ministers of Goryeo have admired the culture of the Central Plains for a long time, and they have long been familiar with the Chinese language." Shi Gaoyi hurriedly replied, "Although in order to facilitate the reading and learning of the lower people, although the previous generation of kings created the Goryeo script, the upper class still used Chinese. ”

"That's fine, it's convenient for me to come and see him." The prince nodded slightly. "Head Shi, when I meet him later, if there is anything that doesn't make sense, please translate it for the two of us, but ...... Don't interject easily. ”

"I understand." Shi Gaoyi knew in his heart that the prince was probably already wary of Jin Xinguo, so he was also slightly happy, but he didn't show it.

While they were talking, Kim Sung-guk, the Minister of Parliament who represented the Goryeo court to welcome the crown prince of the Chinese Dynasty, was also pacing anxiously in the official office on Ganghwa Island.

The air here made him feel very uncomfortable.

For as long as he began to remember, Ganghwa Island has always been a term that everyone has heard of, and it has been wrapped around everyone's head like a nightmare in the fierce party struggle for two hundred years, so as soon as he came to this island, he felt uncomfortable all over his body, as if he had a feeling of suffocation.

He was born in two classes of nobles in Goryeo, and since he was a child, he entered the court of Goryeo under the shadow of his father, became a member of the scholars, and saved his life in the changing world. He had always lived in Seoul, pampered and enjoyed a life of great wealth, how could he ever come to such a vulgar place?

What made him even more uncomfortable was that this place had now almost become the land of the Great Han.

Although the agreements between the Han and Goryeo did not explicitly cede Ganghwa Island to the Dahan, the Han has been stationed on Ganghwa Island for many years, which has already created a fait accompli and left its own traces everywhere.

In the eyes of others, the busy military port and commercial port, as well as the numerous warehouses everywhere, are proof of prosperity, but in his heart, it is not a taste at all, and he only feels heartache. Including the control office on Ganghwa Island, where he is now, these buildings are all humiliated by Goryeo in his opinion.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that he had to endure this humiliation, and he didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

In the pre-Ming era, Goryeo was already a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and could only be a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, and everything was respectful, but at that time there was at least some independence, and the Ming Dynasty did not garrison troops in Goryeo, and rarely interfered in the internal affairs of the Goryeo Kingdom. But now it's completely different, the Han has always acted fiercely, unlike the former Ming Dynasty, who paid attention to the dignity of the kingdom, and was more than a hundred times more vicious.

Because the Ming Dynasty sent troops to help Goryeo restore the country under the iron hooves of the Japanese Invaders decades ago, the subjects and people of the Goryeo monarch are grateful to the Ming Dynasty, and even today they still secretly cherish it, and compared with what the Han is doing now, their nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty is even more.

But nostalgia is nostalgia, and I have to bow my head in the face of reality, and the Goryeo court is now controlled by others, so what can I do.

The visit of the crown prince of China to Goryeo is a complete honor, but how to welcome it without being regarded as a faux pas is very difficult, and the Goryeo monarchs and ministers have discussed several times in order to try to please His Royal Highness the prince and not anger him.

They are now in conflict with the Han mission in Goryeo, and I heard that Shi Gaoyi, the head of the Han mission, had already taken a boat to Liaodong to welcome the crown prince a while ago, and God knows how many bad things he would say about himself and others there. Everyone says that the prince of China and the DPRK has been smart since he was a child, but no matter how smart a person is, after all, he is just a young man, and he is extremely easy to be deceived.

Thinking of these difficult things, Jin Xinguo couldn't help but be full of trouble.

Just when he was still worrying about these things, there was a sudden commotion outside the official office, followed by "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" "Spread the word.

He hurriedly walked out of the government office, and then called the other Goryeo courtiers who had come with him to greet the crown prince of the Chinese Dynasty, and walked out of the door together. Then, at the same time, they knelt down outside the gate, ignoring the fact that there was still a lot of dust on the ground.

Just as they were kneeling, the prince and his party also came to the door of the government office.

"Minister Goryeo leads the Minister of Parliament Jin Xinguo, knock to see His Royal Highness the **** Prince!" At the moment when he appeared, under the leadership of Kim Xinguo, these Goryeo ministers shouted their names in Chinese, and knocked their heads to the ground, because the movements were very neat, so the voice was very coherent, but there was a bit of momentum.

However, their actions only aroused the consternation of the prince. As soon as the new dynasty was established, the kneeling salute to the prince was canceled, and the prince had never seen such a battle among the attendants and teachers around him since he was a child, let alone a courtier. All of a sudden, he was a little at a loss.

However, after all, he had seen some big scenes now, so he quickly regained his composure and walked slowly in front of Kim Sun-kook and other Goryeo ministers.

"Jin Yizheng, ministers, please get up, don't be polite."

"His Royal Highness, as the crown prince of the kingdom, came to inspect the country, and the ministers should greet each other with the highest courtesy, how can they be lazy!" Jin Xinguo first replied, then kowtowed to the ground again, then stood up, knelt on the ground again, and completed the great ceremony of three kneels and nine bows under the surprised and embarrassed gaze of the prince.

"I'm here to inspect Liaodong and Goryeo, just to find out the people's feelings, Jin Yizheng doesn't have to be so grand......" The crown prince didn't think of words until he finished his salute.

"The Han is the kingdom, and it is a supreme honor for the ministers to be able to see the demeanor of His Royal Highness the Prince, I just can't wait to see the face of the sky......" Jin Xinguo stood up again and brushed his face with the sleeves of his robe slightly.

You vulgar people are just rebelling ministers and thieves who took advantage of the decline of the Ming Dynasty to rebel and seize the world, do you know what etiquette is? On the contrary, there was an inexplicable sense of superiority in his heart.

Of course, the crown prince didn't know what the Goryeo minister was thinking, but he felt that although these people were very polite, they always seemed to have a sense of distance and were not very easy to speak. At the same time, he also took this opportunity to take a look at Jin Xinguo, and felt that the face of this middle-aged minister with a beard was very serious, although he was condescending, but he still had some bearing, but it was not like the image of the despicable villain depicted by Shi Gaoyi before.

However, he also knows that he can't just look at people by appearance, so he just puts his doubts in his heart.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please go in, it's windy and sandy outside." Seeing that the crown prince had been standing outside the door with the Goryeo envoy, he was afraid that it would not be reasonable, Zhao Song couldn't help but remind him.

"Okay, let's go inside." The prince nodded, and then smiled at Jin Xinguo, "Jin Yizheng came from afar, and it must have been very hard all the way, so some red tape will be avoided, otherwise, if the discussion is too restrictive, don't say that the discussion is too tiring, I'm afraid even I will be a little reluctant not to ......."

Then, he put his hands behind his back and walked into the Dahan Office in Ganghwa Island with his head held high.

As he spoke, Kim was still bent over, and it was not until he turned to leave that the Goryeo minister straightened up and followed the prince of China with the Goryeo ministers who had come with him.

The meeting of less than a quarter of an hour also did not allow him to completely see through the prince of China and North Korea, but although the prince of China and North Korea was young, he had determination; And although he has an easy-going attitude, it can be seen that he is a rather intelligent person, and he is not easily manipulated.

The crown prince of the Chinese Dynasty drove Goryeo, which has never had a precedent in the history before, how to receive it, these people did not count in their hearts, the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo gathered together to discuss several times, and after thinking about it, they finally felt that they could receive as much grandeur as they could anyway, and they must not let the Chinese and Korean dynasties dislike the Goryeo court in this eventful season.

After arriving at the spacious government office, the crown prince took the main seat without hesitation, while the Han and Goryeo officials who followed him walked to the next seats, but no one sat down.

"Everyone, please sit down, don't be formal." The prince made a gesture and motioned to them again.

After they were seated one by one, the crown prince immediately looked at Jin Xinguo. "Jin Yizheng, I don't know how your lord is doing now?"
