Zhang Yuan's lecture on Qiu Yili at Sungkyunkwan was a great success. Nearly a thousand students and North Korean officials had the same feelings about what Zhang Yuan said as the "Hua-Yi distinction". North Korea was influenced by Chinese civilization, from etiquette to clothing. They are all the same as China, especially the Korean scholars, who are familiar with Confucian scriptures, advocate integrity, and consider themselves subordinate to China. The three Koreas are also countries of etiquette and justice. As for the Jianzhou Jurchens, the Koreans despise the Jurchens from the bottom of their hearts and think that the Jurchens are They are barbarians and cannot be compared with North Korea.
Liu Dongming, the general of the Imperial Guard who attended Zhang Yuan's lectures, had little knowledge and had no understanding of what Zhang Yuan said about Qiu Dayi. He did not listen attentively. He only monitored whether there were suspicious persons who had secret contact with Zhang Yuan or Zhang Yuan's men. As for Zhang Yuan, Why did Yuan come to Sungkyunkwan to lecture on these principles? He only thought that Zhang Yuan wanted to become a teacher. He was a young scholar and always had to show off his talents when he had the chance. However, Ayang Jun Li Zhu was not interested in Zhang Yuan's intentions. He was greatly impressed. He knew that Zhang Yuan was building momentum for the upcoming chaos. Guanghaijun's loss of money to establish the slave chieftain was ungrateful and unfaithful to the Ming Dynasty. Abolition of the ban on mothers and concubines and massacre of clan members were even more treacherous. What the traitor did was unfilial and unkind. Of course, Zhang Yuan did not connect these things when he was talking about Qiu Yili, but the students and officials present had their own understanding Just as Li Zhu was thinking this, one of his cronies came closer and whispered. After a few words, Li Zhu frowned slightly and gave the confidant a few words, and then the confidant left quietly.
Zhang Yuan, who was in the Minglun Hall, spoke eloquently for nearly an hour. His words were dry and he had almost finished speaking the main principles, so he proposed that the deputy envoy Ruan Dacheng should teach the Book of Songs to the students of the hall. The student welcomed him, and Ruan Dacheng began to speak eloquently. Zhang Yuan sat next to Li Zhu, sipping tea and listening to the lecture, but he heard Li Zhu say in a low voice: "Zhang Daru, Li Yuanyi and Shen Shimin, the two young scholars who came to advise me the day before, Officials have been sent to the Si Xian Mansion for interrogation, and the situation is pressing."
At this time, Lord Guanghai did not know how to restrain himself but still wanted to intensify the conflict, which was exactly what Zhang Yuan wanted. He asked: "Has the whereabouts of the Jianzhou envoy been traced?"
Li Zhu said: "All roads out of Wangjing are under strict surveillance. It can be confirmed that the envoys of establishing the state have not left Wangjing. I have ordered people to follow Zheng Renhong and Pu Guiweng's son-in-law. The one who greets Nalan Bakshi at Biti Pavilion is Pu Gui, they will inevitably meet again. The most suspicious thing at the moment is the Saga Mountain Secret Garden. Pu Gui has been there the day before, but because of the strict guards, it was not possible to detect whether the Jianzhou Nuzhen were living there. .¡±
Zhang Yuan asked: "Where is the Secret Garden of Saga Mountain?"
Li Ju said: ¡°It was the place where the kings of Korea spent their summers and hunted.¡±
Zhang Yuan asked: "Is it inside Wangjing City or outside the city?"
Li Zhu said: "It is in the southern suburbs of Wangjing and north of the Han River, with a radius of dozens of miles."
Zhang Yuandao: "We must find out the exact whereabouts of the Jianzhou envoy as soon as possible, otherwise Li Duhu's 1,200 sergeants will not be able to stay on the outskirts of Seoul for a long time. Once the intention is discovered by Lord Gwanghae, the situation will be over."
Li Zhu nodded, his expression solemn.
On the evening of the same day, Liu Dongming hosted a banquet on behalf of King Guanghai at Chengkyun Hall to entertain the Ming Dynasty envoys. After the banquet at Xu Shi, Zhang Yuan returned to the reception hall. There was a bright moon. This was the moon on May 15th. Ruan Dacheng Chanting "The dew is white tonight, the moon is bright in my hometown", I was walking in the courtyard with Zhang Yuan, talking about today's lecture at Sungkyunkwan, when I suddenly heard the sound of bamboo pipes nearby, like a flute or a flute, that day I heard this kind of music at a night banquet in Pyongyang. It should be a North Korean wind instrument - Ruan Dacheng said: "These are the two North Korean girls playing. You might as well invite them to play here. The music alone is not as good as the others." Lele, how about it?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Why listen in person? Su Dongpo once said that 'playing the flute in the east under the moon' is one of the joys of rebirth."
Ruan Dacheng smiled and stood with Zhang Yuan in the courtyard, listening to the clear sound of the bamboo pipe that resembled a flute and a flute. Ruan Dacheng understood the rhythm carefully. After listening for a moment, he said: "This should be a kind of flute. The sliding tone is like a delicate woman whispering." , Our country's cave flute has never been so wonderful." He added: "There seems to be a sense of longing in the flute sound. I don't know which of the two Korean girls played it. It should be the dancing girl. The mute girl can't make a sound, so I guess Nor can I play an instrument.¡±
Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement. He didn't know whether it was Princess Zhenming or Gu Xishan who was playing. After listening for a while, the music was gone, the moon was in the sky, and the courtyard was quiet.
Ruan Dacheng said leisurely: "I heard the bell in the temple across the river, and under the moon the east neighbor was playing the flute - why the east neighbor and not the west neighbor, why the east wall instead of the west wall?" After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Yuan to answer, he cupped his hands. He smiled and went back to his room.
Zhang Yuan understood the ambiguity in Ruan Dacheng's laughter, "crossing the east wall and hugging his virginity". It seemed that Ruan Dacheng believed that he had an affair with the two Korean girls, and it was difficult to argue with him.
Zhang Yuan shook his head, went back to the house to take a bath, and then wrote a diary under the lamp. Suddenly he reported to His Highness Lord Lingyang, Zheng Banshu, General Liu, and Qi Chengzhi to ask for an audience. It was already the end of the year, and Li Zhu came in alone. There must be something important to discuss here, but with Zheng Renhong, Liu Dongming, and QiWhat's the point of bringing the rocks together?
Zhang Yuan welcomed him to the hall and saw Li Ju, Zheng Renhong, Liu Dongming, and Qi Shishi coming in. There was an endless stream of servants carrying boxes behind him. Boxes were piled up in front of the corridor, dozens of large and small boxes - Zheng Renhong handed over his hand. Said: "Yao Envoy Rong Zhen, a junior official came to see Yao Envoy on the king's order early night. Our king heard about it last night and was greatly shocked. He ordered the Ping'an Road Observation Envoy to join forces with Yizhou Jiedushi to strictly investigate the private behavior of officials and sergeants. In the matter of trade with Jianzhou, if there is indeed the sale of prohibited items, he will be severely punished and there will be a reply within five days. The small country treats the Ming Dynasty like a son serving his father. How can he have any external intentions? Please let me know clearly. "
Zhang Yuandao said: "Corrupt officials are inevitable. As long as the king of your country thoroughly investigates this matter and prevents such a thing from happening again, otherwise, on the one hand, the Ming Dynasty will enthrone the prince of your country, and on the other hand, the officials of your country will interact with the rebels of Jianzhou. How can I report back to the emperor when I return to Beijing next time!"
Zheng Renhong said: "This kind of thing will never happen again in the future. Please rest assured, Yao Envoy. Tomorrow morning, our king will order the eldest son of the king, Anping Jun, to come and pay homage to Yao Envoy. Yao Envoy has come thousands of miles away, and the small country cannot protect him." Zhou, causing the Yao envoys to be frightened twice, and His Highness Lord Anping was very frightened. These are some small gifts given by His Highness Anping Lord to the two Yao envoys and the envoys. To show their sincerity, Yao Envoy must accept them, otherwise His Highness Anping Lord I don¡¯t dare to come and see the envoy Yao.¡±-
Lord Anping is the eldest son of Lord Gwanghae, Ri Jin, who will be crowned the Crown Prince of the Joseon Kingdom this time. He just passed his fifteenth birthday a few days ago.
Zhang Yuan looked at the pile of boxes and thought to himself: "Guanghai Lord wants to buy me with property? If I refuse strictly at this time, Guanghai Lord will be wary of me, so it is better to accept it with a smile." He said: "Anping How dare you accept your highness¡¯s generous gift¡ª¡ª¡±
Hearing that Zhang Yuan¡¯s tone was not firm, Zheng Renhong sneered in his heart. On the surface, he humbly asked Zhang Yuan to accept it, saying that this was some Korean native gift for the Ming Dynasty¡¯s envoy to express condolences for the hardships of the Ming Dynasty¡¯s envoy.
Lord Lingyang Li Jie, Liu Dongming, and Qi Shishi also begged Zhang Yuan to accept it, and Zhang Yuan accepted it. After saying a few words, Li Jie and others came in to say goodbye. Zhang Yuan sent Zhang Yuan out of the hall and came back to wait. When he went in to invite Ruan Dacheng and Zhen Zidan, he saw Li Zhuo walking back with a loud smile and said: "Zhang Daru, I left a folding fan here." When he came to the seat just now, he leaned over and picked up one from the ground. Folding fan - Zhang Yuan knew that Li Zhu had something important to say, so he stepped forward and said, "Is this folding fan of Your Highness Lord Lingyang so precious? Let me see it." He took the folding fan handed over by Li Zhu and showed it. I heard Li Zhu whisper: "The Jianzhou envoys are at the Saga Mountain Secret Garden. They are packing their bags in the evening. Zheng Renhong and Pu Gui also sent many gifts in the afternoon. These Jianzhou Jurchens must be leaving overnight to return to Jianzhou." .¡±
Zhang Yuandao: "No matter the cost, we must capture Nalanbakshi alive. As long as we catch Nalanbaksh, we will do something big immediately. There is no need to hide it anymore."
Li Zhu said: "I have ordered Li Gui to send three hundred sergeants to lie in dangerous places on the three roads north of Seoul. There are also our sentinels in the Saga Mountain area. Nalanbaksh cannot escape."
Zhang Yuandao: "Very good, Mr. Anping will arrive tomorrow. This is His Highness Mr. Yaoshu Lingyang." After saying this, he handed the folding fan back to Li Shu.
Li Zhu¡¯s palms were sweaty and he did not take the fan. He cupped his hands and said, ¡°Since Zhang Dayu likes this folding fan, I will give you this fan as a gift.¡± He whispered, ¡°What else does Zhang Dayu have to say?¡±
Zhang Yuandao: "If you find out which way Nalanbakshi returns north, please report it to me immediately."
Li Zhu resigned, and then Zhen Zidan came over. Zhang Yuan pointed to the pile of boxes and said: "Zhen Qianhu, let's see what gifts Anping Jun has given us? Invite Ruan Daru as well."
Ruan Dacheng had already undressed and gone to bed. He put on his robe and came over. Together with Zhang Yuan, he watched several imperial guards unboxing and inspecting the boxes one by one. They found a total of 800 taels of gold, 25,000 taels of silver, 200 pieces of fine ginseng, There are a hundred mink skins, and thousands of boxes of jade, gemstones, crystals, spices, cloth, and paper.
Zhang Yuandao: "Make a list of all these gifts, and the accounts must be clear."
Zhen Zidan thought that Zhang Yuan wanted to accept this generous gift and made a list to facilitate distribution. She admired Zhang Yuan extremely and thought to herself: "Zhang Dayu went to the outskirts of Seoul without entering the city, but it turned out that he had to wait for this generous gift. How wonderful. Excellent, how can I wait until I get to this vassal state far away from the emperor and take advantage of it?"
Ruan Dacheng did not think that Zhang Yuan made things difficult for North Korean monarchs and ministers because of these properties, but Zhang Yuan accepted these gifts, which made Ruan Dacheng a little confused. Before he could ask, Zhang Yuan had already said: "I accept it." There is another reason for the gift, and you two will understand my intentions tomorrow."
Seeing that Zhang Yuan had nothing else to say, Ruan Dacheng went back to his room to rest.
Zhang Yuan said to Zhen Zidan: "Zhen Qianhu, you choose ten warriors with superb martial arts skills and come to the hall to listen to my orders."
Seeing Zhang Yuan¡¯s solemn look, Zhen Zidan didn¡¯t dare to ask any more questions, so she hurriedly summoned ten people.The lieutenant came to the hall to take orders. Wang Zongyue, Mu Jingyan, Hong Ji, Hong Xin, Sheba, Ma Kuoqi, and the taciturn guest Guangxian had also come to the hall.
