? ¬½The capital of the Lee Dynasty of Joseon was located in Seoul, Gyeonggi Province. It was not called Wanggyong. In the traditional Korean sense, Wanggyong was the capital of Goryeo, the previous dynasty of the Joseon Dynasty, which was Kaesong. However, the Ming Dynasty still called Seoul Wangjing as a custom, while North Korea called its capital Seoul, or simply called it the capital or the capital.
The mission started from Pyongyang and crossed the Hwanghae Road to Gyeongwei Road. [.z
However, due to time constraints and the Chinese New Year approaching, the mission only rested briefly in Kaesong and Byokje, Gyeonggi Province before setting off again. Finally, before the arrival of the New Year at the end of December, we arrived in Wangjing, North Korea, which is Seoul.
North Korea paid unprecedented attention to the arrival of the envoy. The King of North Korea, Li Yi, personally led all the civil and military officials in the DPRK to go out of the city to welcome the envoy, which gave the envoy face. Of course, everyone knows that all of this is directed at Zhu Changluo. For North Korea, if they can marry Zhu Changluo in advance, who is very likely to become the next emperor of the Chinese empire, it will be absolutely beneficial. One harm.
Li Pan was very enthusiastic about Zhu Changluo and once insisted that Zhu Changluo live in his palace. He believed that this would not insult Zhu Changluo's status. However, Zhu Changluo obviously doesn't think so. It's one thing to be enthusiastic about others, but even if he hasn't been crowned yet, he is already considered an adult in terms of age. If he lives in the palace of the King of Joseon, there is no guarantee that there will be gossips about him, even if he doesn't. No matter what happens, there will be news that something happened.
At that time, not only will the country lose its dignity, but others will take advantage of it. If it is just a crime of humiliating the country, then there will be no chance of getting the crown prince position. After all, Confucianism attaches great importance to etiquette, and the Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette.
What¡¯s more, in May of the 20th year of Wanli, Kato Kiyomasa led the Japanese army across the Han River and captured Seoul. Before and after the Japanese army entered the city, Seoul suffered great damage. On the eve of the king's escape, "all palaces, government offices, city gates, palace treasures, ancient books, and cultural relics and gifts in the city were burned down."
In the twenty-first year of Wanli, the Japanese army was defeated by the Ming Dynasty and fled south. Before leaving, they slaughtered all the people in the city. When King Li Yi of Korea returned to the capital in November of that year, the palace was in ashes and the city was full of thorns. Hundreds of officials were sitting against the walls. They had to use the day of Yueshan Maharaja as the palace, Lin Jun's family as the palace, and Shen Yiqian's family as the palace. "East Palace", the home of former Prime Minister Shen Lianyuan was the ancestral temple, and the nearby private houses, large and small, were the various departments in the palace.
Until this time, since Japan has not completely withdrawn its troops, North Korea has not had the financial resources to completely rebuild, and the palace has only been partially repaired. There are still ruins everywhere. How can people be in the mood to move in?
Finally, with Zhu Changluo's insistence, Li Yi arranged Zhu Changluo to live in the Ridi Deshou Palace of King Yueshan. This is still Li Yi's palace until now. In addition to the concubines and children, there were many maids and eunuchs. Zhu Changluo lived there. Here, it is quite suitable.
However, after Zhu Changluo moved in, he felt a little unnatural at night. There was an interesting phenomenon in the Lee Dynasty of North Korea. Although there were many eunuchs in their palace, none of them lived in the palace. There were others outside. At the residence, I came to serve you in the morning and went back directly when the time came in the evening.
As a result, the entire huge Deoksugung Palace originally had hundreds of maids. After Zhu Changluo moved in, Li Yi sent nearly a hundred young and beautiful maids to show his respect. At night, there was only one man except Zhu Changluo. Outside, there are women everywhere Orioles, swallows, emeralds, reds, and greens Except women, they are women, and there is rouge everywhere! By the way, there is also Zou Yi. I don¡¯t know if he should be considered a man or a woman.
Zhu Changluo is about to turn sixteen. He seems to have grown everything he should, and his functions are all normal. In the past, he was suppressed all day long in the Ming Palace. Zhu Xianjun was hanging above his head like a mountain. "How can I have the mood to think about men and women? But now that I am gone, the sky is high here and the emperor is far away." Zhu Changluo lost restraint. In addition, I am at an age when I have too much energy, and I have fallen into a crowd of women. I am not an ignorant young man. It is so uncomfortable to see so many colorful and beautiful beauties at night
Of course, this is not to say that Zhu Changluo wants to be a gentleman, but the current situation does not allow him to act recklessly. He finally found the opportunity after some planning. He didn't want all these years of hard work to be lost in the hands of a woman. After all, the contraceptive measures in this era were still very primitive. If he wasn't careful, he could be caught. . There are so many Jin Yiwei who don't know the details of this kind of responsibility. If it happened, they wouldn't be able to cover it up even if they wanted to.
It has been three days since Zhu Changluo came to Seoul, and he has basically been idle in these three days. First, he was invited to a banquet by King Li Yi of Joseon, and then there were invitations from Linhaijun, Guanghaijun, Dingyuanjun and other princes: and Nan Invitation from Liu Chenglong, the leader of the People's Party and the most important political leader: the leader of the Northern People's Party, the leader of Dunning House and the chief minister.Invitation from Li Shanhai: Even brothers Yin Dooshou and Yin Genshou, the leaders of the Western Party, whose strength was greatly reduced, also sent invitations
Although Zhu Changluo had long understood the seriousness of the party struggle in North Korea through Lao Ying, he treated these invitations as if he had no knowledge of the situation in North Korea. He went wherever he could, listening more and talking less. When others are trying their best to please his boss, he can further observe these people to determine what he should do in the future.
However, what made Zhu Changluo shake his head was that although the news that the peace talks with Japan had broken up on bad terms had come back, these people were still engaging in internal strife without any sense of crisis at all. "Party fighting harms the country." , it does seem reasonable. In addition, even the King of North Korea, Ri Pan, did not mention the breakdown of the peace talks. Isn't he afraid of another invasion by the Han Dynasty?
Zhu Changluo was suddenly startled, thinking of Li Pan's cunning face, and seemed to have missed something. In recent years, Li Yi has been able to deal with the conflict between the Eastern Party and the Western Party, the Western Party and the Southern Party, and the Southern Party and the Northern Party. He is definitely not a simple person who firmly controls the overall situation.
Why isn¡¯t Li Pan worried about Japan invading North Korea? According to the news from the Jinyiwei led by Leng Leng, it seems that Japan has begun to increase its troops in Busan. It is impossible for Li Yi to be unclear. Why is he not worried? It seems that everyone in North Korea is relaxed and leisurely, and the party is still fighting against dissidents. Are they not worried about Japan's invasion after increasing its troops?
They will definitely be worried! But why do everyone seem confident that they can deal with Japan? Are they not afraid that Ming Dynasty will no longer help them? Ming dynasty? Zhu Changluo had a flash of inspiration and seemed to have seized this opportunity.
Yes, yes! No wonder!
Zhu Changluo smiled, he was really happy this time! He has been planning how to stay in North Korea legitimately. For this reason, he even planned to start with Concubine Zheng and the Japanese and North Korean royal families to ensure that he can stay in North Korea. It's just that there seems to be someone in front of him who is even more unwilling to let him leave North Korea!
He vaguely understood what the North Korean royal family was planning.
His arrival stabilized the North Korean monarchs and ministers who might have been panicking because they knew the peace talks had failed. It is not difficult to understand. As long as he is still in North Korea, if Japan invades North Korea again, Ming Dynasty will definitely send troops there as soon as possible. Even if it is not to rescue North Korea, it will definitely send people to ensure its own safety! Ming Dynasty does not want his eldest son to become a prisoner of Little Japan. This is a matter of face, and it is also related to their position in the history books!
So it can be imagined that everyone in North Korea must be thinking about how to stay in North Korea, at least until they can completely drive little Japan out of North Korea!
Zhu Changluo smiled happily. He had not thought about this before. At this moment, he suddenly realized that it was impossible for the monarchs and ministers of North Korea not to make this idea. Wouldn't this coincide with his own plan? Maybe the old fox King Li Yi of Joseon will have better solutions and excuses.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask for an audience indifferently" Zou Yi walked to Zhu Changluo and reported in a low voice.
"Oh?" Zhu Changluo's heart moved, and it seemed that Indifferent had heard the latest news again: "Let him in"
After a short while, a tall, thin young man walked in and bowed respectfully: "Kowtow to Your Highness.¡"
"Without courtesy. Leng Baihu, do you have the latest news?" Zhu Changluo waved his hand and said no nonsense. After all, if Leng stayed here for a long time, he might attract the attention of someone in Jinyiwei.
"Yes, Your Highness, you asked us to pay attention to the movements of the canonization mission to Japan. I just learned the latest news. It was too late to tell Eunuch Zou, so I came to report to you in person. " He raised his hand indifferently. replied.
"speak.".
"My Ming and North Korean missions arrived in Japan in early September. After less than ten days of talks, they completely lost hope of peace talks. They returned by boat at the end of September. At the end of November and the beginning of December, the mission finally returned safely. They arrived at the Port of Busan. They were not embarrassed in Busan, and General Zong Yizhi treated them well, prepared many gifts, and let them go without any further embarrassment" Leng explained.
Zhu Changluo was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "You mean, they have left Busan?".
"Yes, Your Highness, envoys Yang Fangheng, Shen Weijing and North Korean envoy Huang Shen have left Yeshan and embarked on the road to Seoul. According to their footsteps, according to the estimation of the minister, they may arrive the day after tomorrow, that is, Arriving in Seoul on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month" Indifferent cupped his hands and expressed his speculation.
"Oh? Arriving the day after tomorrow?" Zhu Changluo touched his chin: "Yang Fangheng, Shen Weijing, Shen Weijing! Interesting.".
At this time, Zhu Changluo wasThese people can't wait to see this dizzy man who single-handedly deceived little Japan! (To be continued
