Fourth, Concubine Min came to the court (2)

"Yes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he has been transferred to the governorship of the three northeastern provinces. ”

"Hey," Concubine Min closed her eyes, and Concubine Min, who was wearing a bright red blouse and a royal blue gold-trimmed skirt, looked even more and more bleak under the background of such bright colors, "Shangguo has sent an important minister who is proficient in military affairs to serve as the governor of the newly established three northeastern provinces, which shows that Shangguo will not be willing to give up managing Korea at all, and in the future, there will be a hard life in Korea." ”

The Sifang Pavilion had nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Concubine Min and her entourage took breakfast to Dagukou Railway Station, and took the train to Beijing, but it was only half a day's work, and they arrived at the railway station of Chongwenmen, and got off the train, and the officials of the Protocol Department of the Lifan Yuan had been waiting at the train station for a long time, because Concubine Min was a female dependent, so the Protocol Department asked the palace to invite a group of grandmothers to help, so as not to make Concubine Min feel inconvenient. But how much warmth and humility there is, there is absolutely none, and the face is just faint. Concubine Min originally had a ghost in her heart, so she was even more uneasy in her heart, and when she went to the ceremonial hotel to settle down, and when she arrived in Beijing, the residence of the foreign emperor, head of state, ambassador, etc., and the residence of the vassal state to entertain the people from the vassal state were separated, and the foreign one was in charge of the prime minister's yamen and the ministry of rites, and the vassal state was in charge of the Lifan Yuan or the Rikkyo Yuan. On the second day, the chamberlain of the Lifan Yuan personally went to the Lihe Hotel, met with Concubine Min, and explained the matter, "Princess, the emperor has issued an order, please enter the palace in two days to congratulate the queen mother." ”

Obviously, Emperor Guangxu did not want to meet Concubine Min, so he let the queen go out, Concubine Min was a little disappointed, and a little relieved, if the emperor personally expressed his dissatisfaction with North Korea, Rao is his husband, how the king of North Korea pampered and respected himself, he had to consider whether to abolish his princess throne to let the Qing Kingdom calm his anger, and now he did not directly express his dissatisfaction, then there must be room for change in the future.

While he was thinking wildly, the waiter of the Lifan Yuan had already said goodbye and went out, and a young man came in, wearing a well-fitting shirt and vest, a tweed coat on the outside, a suit pants on the lower body, and a pair of leather shoes on his feet. ”

Concubine Min raised her head and saw the young man in front of her who was completely dressed in Western clothes, a little familiar, but very unfamiliar, "Are you?" Concubine Min looked at it for a long time before she recognized it, "Shizi? ”

"Inside! Hemp! The prince knelt down and made a big salute, "I am your son." ”

Concubine Min looked at Shizi carefully, and for some reason, she became furious, "You are so bold! She stretched out her hand and pointed to the son of the world who was kneeling on the ground for unknown reasons, "Who told you to change into a foreigner's clothes!" It's simply a kingless and fatherless! The clothes of the Korean country were given to the whole country by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty to wear in the Joseon Dynasty, and no one should and must not turn their backs on the Chinese costume crown! It's just that you put on the clothes of the Qing Kingdom, and you are still wearing the clothes of foreigners, and you are still dangling in front of me, it's really damned! ”

The prince of the world trembled, in fact, what he was most afraid of was not his father, King Li Xi, but the very strict mother in front of him, he knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up, and hurriedly apologized, "Please forgive Ma Ma, my son heard that Ma Ma has arrived today, so he is very happy, and hurriedly asked for leave in the palace, and did not have time to change clothes, please forgive my mother." ”

Concubine Min heard the words of the prince, and the anger in her heart seemed to disappear without a trace, about this age, anger came and went quickly. "What nonsense are you talking about? You are dressed like this in the palace of the upper kingdom? ”

"Yes, sis."

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of God, is it also dressed like this?"

"The emperor doesn't wear it often, but occasionally wears it in private, and on formal court occasions, he wears traditional clothes."

Concubine Min thoughtfully let the prince stand up, "No matter what," she grabbed her son, who had grown a little taller, with expectation and urgency on her face, "You are the young master of the three thousand miles of rivers and mountains in Korea, and in the future, your father's thousand catties of burden will be entrusted to you, if you don't have the idea that the Korean culture and system are the best in your heart, then you won't be able to bear the expectations of your subjects, understand?" Western clothes," Concubine Min looked at the suit on the prince in disgust, "It can't be worn on our Korean prince at all, no matter how much the Qing Kingdom worships the West, we can't give up our traditions." ”

"Yes, yes," the prince was very filial, but very afraid of Concubine Min, he hurriedly bent down and bowed and retreated, "Erchen will change his clothes and come back immediately." ”

After a while, the prince put on the crown and court clothes of North Korea again, lowered his hands and returned to Concubine Min's side, looking very docile, Concubine Min had calmed down her anger at this time, let the prince sit down, and asked the prince about his life in Beijing, looking at the prince a little timid, Concubine Min said lovingly, "The prince has lost weight, is it too unaccustomed to life in Beijing?" We Koreans all say that you are the son of North Korea, and it is better to go back to North Korea. ”

Shizi's eyebrows jumped, and he hurriedly lowered his head, "The sons and ministers all listen to the mother." ”

"That's good, I've been in Beijing for so long, and I don't know how you're doing, I just brought Korean ginseng over and prepared to make up for it in stewed ginseng and chicken soup," Concubine Min smiled, "You are almost twenty years old, if it weren't for the fact that you are going to study in Beijing, I am afraid that you will get married soon, this time I entered Beijing, and I also want you to go back to North Korea to start a family, I have already chosen a concubine for you who is very compatible with you, that is your cousin, the daughter of Zhongwen Gong Min Taihao, Mingzhu, she is a very good girl, very dignified and virtuous, and can serve you well." , and it's kiss to kiss. ”

"Mama!" When the prince heard the news, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, originally he didn't think that his mother could persuade Qingguo to let him go back, and he himself was unwilling to go back to North Korea, but if it was said in the name of marriage, then Qingguo would not let go, and he became nervous when he heard this, "Erchen has not learned more useful knowledge in Beijing, and many things in Shangguo, Erchen thinks that they can be used in North Korea, I have begged the emperor to let him approve the construction of a railway from Shengjing to Seoul, in this case, Our North Korean economy can take off! The common people of North Korea can also live a good life, and the good things of the Qing country can be shipped to North Korea! ”
