Seeing the contempt on the faces of the mission, Jin Tao was embarrassed to tell them that the original Kaijing was very majestic, the streets were wide and straight, and the buildings in the city were row upon row, which was beautiful, and it was actually a big city not inferior to Tieling.

But fifteen or sixteen years ago, the invading Red Turban Army was ruined into ruins. In Jin Tao's words:

"When the capital is recovered two years later, the palace of the capital is gone, the alleys are ruins, and the white bones are mounds......"

"The Red Turban Army has also fought Goryeo?" It's the first time I've heard of it.

"This was the eastern province of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Red Turban Army resisted the Yuan, why can't you fight Goryeo?" Cai Qianhu said as a matter of course.

"That's right." What else could Jin Tao say, he could only smile and say: "Fortunately, it's all in the past, and now Daming and Gaoli are as close as father and son, and they have opened a new chapter." ”

"This opening of the capital city wall was rebuilt by the king in recent years. However, Goryeo was a narrow land and the people were poor, and it was invaded by the Japanese for many years, so it was really unable to rebuild the old situation, so it could only build important buildings such as the palace and official offices first, and talk about other things later. Then he introduced:

"Fortunately, the guest house is newly renovated, and the conditions are still okay."

~~

Goryeo State Guest House has pink walls and tiles, and heavy eaves rest on the top of the mountain. Like their official uniforms, they are basically the style of the Song Dynasty.

A group of Goryeo dignitaries wearing purple and red robes had been waiting at the door of the State Guest House for a long time.

After the two sides met, Jin Tao introduced the mission, led by two people named Li Renren, the official under the left servant, similar to the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

The other is Cui Ying, who is the right servant of the door. He was also the so-called first general of Goryeo, and the mission heard his name in Tamna.

Jin Tao also told the mission that these two were also the speakers of the Metropolitan Council.

On the way here, Jin Tao introduced it. The political system of Goryeo was also largely inherited from the Song Dynasty, but the so-called 'capital hall' was a unique institution of Goryeo.

Originally, the capital hall was the head of several 'Zaishu' institutions in Goryeo, the Monxia Province, the Middle Academy, and the Three Divisions, and it was the core of Goryeo's political operations in order to concentrate on the important affairs of the military state, and the place for 'co-sitting' deliberations.

The so-called 'hundreds of bureaucrats and general affairs, cut off from the capital'.

The leader of the capital hall is the servant of the left and right doors. Goryeo has always had a tradition of military ministers interfering in politics, and there have been frequent wars in recent years, so the left and right subordinates are all served by military ministers.

Li Renren has a white goatee, while Cui Ying has a thick black beard. Therefore, the brothers are called whitebeard and blackbeard......

The two Goryeo bigwigs invited the delegation to rest in the main courtyard of the State Guest House, and after they washed up for a while, they set up a banquet in the front hall to receive the wind for the heavenly envoys.

Goryeo has a separate meal system, and the guest and host sit on the wooden floor, with a low table in front of each person.

In fact, the Ming people are no longer used to sitting cross-legged on the ground to eat, but they are even less accustomed to the eating of the Korean people. There are a lot of bowls of all sizes, but there are too few things in the bowls, that is, the amount of one or two chopsticks, and kelp pickles and bean sprouts account for most of them.

The third child barely ate on the boat, and at this time he was so hungry that he grabbed a few chopsticks and dishes, and he disced it before he was full.

Not to mention the two-four-six rice bucket......

On diplomatic occasions, the brothers were embarrassed to ask for another copy, so they could only sit there with big eyes and stare at each other, listening to the deputy envoy talking to the black and white beard.

At this time, having finished the unnutritious greetings, Lin Mi asked, "When can we meet your king and read the edict?" ”

Black and White Beard glanced at each other, and White Beard twisted his beard and said apologetically:

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Our king has been sick recently, and he is already bedridden, and the two envoys are afraid that they will have to wait for a while. I'm sorry. ”

Or...... The two of you read the edict to us first? If the emperor has any orders, we will do it first. Cui Ying also said. Most of the high-ranking officials in Goryeo had the experience of studying in the Yuan Dynasty or serving as a guard, so they spoke Chinese well.

"Nonsense, this is the emperor's will to the king of Goryeo!" Cai Bin lowered his face and scolded: "You must accept the decree of your king, others are not qualified to understand?" ”

"Okay then." Cui Ying's dense black beard trembled, and she said angrily: "The two envoys can wait for the king to recover with peace of mind." ”

"If your king was not healed in the last year, shall we wait another year?" Cai Bin glared and reprimanded.

"The envoy is cursing our king?!" Cui Ying also blew her beard and glared.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Jin Tao hurriedly opened his mouth to play a round, saying that Cui Yuanjun was Lian Po of Goryeo, who was still old and strong in his sixties, and had been leading troops on the front line before.

In short, on the premise of not hurting Cui Ying's dignity, he apologized to Cai Bin for him.

Whitebeard slapped again, the music started, and the cabaret performance was arranged.

Not to mention, although the music of Goryeo is terrible, the Goryeo women are really beautiful. Especially when turning in circles, the skirt corners are flying, and the white thighs are dazzling, and it is easy to forget the unhappiness.

After the atmosphere eased down, Lin Mi asked according to the meaning of the sixth child: "Are the two marquis of Guide and Guiyi all right?" ”

"The two marquis are very good." Li Renren smiled and said: "After the two families came to Goryeo, the king was very concerned about the lives of the two families, not only provided them with a mansion, but also ordered to support the two of them with taxes from Yan'an and Baichuan counties, so there is no need to worry about the errands. ”

"What about Gonggong Huang, who came with them? Our prince remembered his old age, and specially invited him to return to China for the elderly. Lin Mi said again: "The king of the Lao Yuan invited him to meet with us. ”

Li Renren's expression darkened, and he said, "Alas, Huang Neishou has passed away. ”

"What?" The sixth man straightened up suddenly, that is the most trustworthy person in Goryeo in the mouth of the eldest brother. "How did he die?"

Li Renren frowned slightly, and said in his heart that this little guy has no rules. But it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and the envoy's entourage naturally does not have his turn to reprimand.

Then he sighed and said, "Huang Neishou was very sick and hanged himself. ”

"What? Hanged? Not only Zhu Zhen but also the brothers exclaimed together.

Cai Binlin's complexion also became extremely ugly.

Cai Qianhu slapped his palm on the low table, and with a bang, the cup was knocked over, and the wine spilled on the ground.

"How can this be true? Huang Gonggong is the envoy of my court, and now people are dying in the capital of you, and it is still an abnormal death, why don't you play my court?! ”

The black and white beards all looked constipated, and Jin Tao hurriedly said:

"The envoy is angry, Huang Gonggong died, and we sent a messenger to report the funeral, hasn't the Celestial Empire received the news until now?"

"Nope." Lin Mi shook his head resolutely.

"It could be that the ship capsized at sea." Jin Tao sighed and said: "The wind and waves at sea are treacherous, this is a common thing. ”

"Yes, in the fifth year of Hongwu, the envoys of the Contempt State Hong Shifan and Zheng Mengzhou went to the Celestial Empire, and encountered a hurricane on the way back, which caused Hong Shifan to be killed, and the deputy envoy Zheng Mengzhou held the driftwood and drifted for a few days, and was rescued by the Daming Water Division, sent back to Nanjing, and was received by the emperor again." Li Renren also said:

"The envoy should know about this, right? So at sea it's really a life of death, anything can happen. ”
