When I came to Seoul again more than ten years later, I felt like I was suddenly separated by the world. The buildings and Chinese signs were really the same as the bustling cities of the Central Plains.

The matchmaker escorted Lu Yueting back to the capital by land, while Ye Zhao and his sister Zhu Sisi arrived in Seoul by cruise ship, and then returned from Seoul by train.

Although he was on a secret tour, Concubine Jin went to the dock to greet him. Concubine Jin has long been the queen of the North Korean ruler. She has been in the peak of power for many years and has different behaviors. However, when she saw Ye Zhao, she bowed down and called her father, which made Ye Zhao helpless. Ye Zhao had heard of it. Three days after his separation, Concubine Jin was no longer comparable to the past. She repeatedly used a harsh move to eliminate political enemies, and her tyranny shocked the court and the public. She had the vague style of the Empress Dowager Cixi. Being bent down by such a woman to call her son minister is really heartfelt.

Ye Zhao and his group stayed in the Nanshan State Hotel, which is also the most luxurious villa-style hotel in Seoul. They usually only accept officials and merchants from the Sect Master country, and occasionally visitors from other countries in the Southeast Alliance countries were also stayed in.

After Andong Kim came to power, the policy of North Korea became more conservative, and the trend of focusing on agriculture and neglecting commerce did not change at all. Some industries that gradually emerged in the early stage of the new policy, such as the news and newspaper industry, also entered a dead end. Under strict control, only three of the more than 20 newspapers in Seoul are surviving, and two of them are officially run. Those large enterprises and mines are controlled by emerging bureaucratic capital. People's lives have improved compared to the past, but that's all.

Communications, electricity and other technologies originated from the sovereign state have become tools for bureaucrats to strictly confine national thoughts. Of course, unlike the past when they were closed, North Korea also developed technology after the sovereign state to purchase ships eliminated by the sovereign state and became more in contact with the outside world. In today's North Korea, Ye Zhao felt that it was more like a bureaucratic capital and a military dictatorship that ruled the people with ignorance. At the same time, under the protection of the sovereign state, it would not be threatened and intervened by the great powers. It was a deformed development that had never happened in history. I don't know what kind of political model it would eventually become.

Concubine Jin, who was invincible in the power struggle, obviously also believed that the current country was more conducive to her rule. She reached the peak of North Korea's power by implementing the new policy, but the reformists who followed her now have been dismissed from office and exiled to the exile, and these people have almost disappeared in the court.

Kingsoft State Hotel is one of the few areas in Seoul that supply power. At night, lights are flashing and trees are lush, forming a beautiful picture.

Obviously, Concubine Jin cares about face. The street lights in the State Guesthouse are scattered, and I don’t know how much money and cream are spent. Most of the Seoul is pitch black, and even a few kerosene lamps can’t be lit.

The No. 1 Courtyard of the State Guesthouse covers a vast area, with three-story oriental palace-style buildings, surrounded by green pines and cypresses, which are simple and quiet.

In the magnificent reception room, there were only Ye Zhao and Jin Fei. Jin Fei, wearing red skirts, flesh-colored stockings, golden high heels, was very beautiful. She was very well maintained, just like a beauty in her thirties. Judging from her clothes, she was obviously open-minded, and perhaps political conservative was more out of the need for rule.

"Mu Ren is doing well?" Ye Zhao looked at the Republic of China version of the Queen Mother of the Cities. In fact, Concubine Jin gave him this feeling, as if in the Republic of China era, a dictatorial mother of the country appeared, and also like the Western queen of modern society, suddenly restored to military dictatorship.

Three years ago, Muruen and other former Japanese royal members were sent to North Korea. Ye Zhao returned from Seoul this time and suddenly remembered this matter and came to find out what happened. In addition, although North Korea has reversed history and is shrouded in the rule of white terror, the Korean New Army has been instructed by Chinese instructors in recent years and is also the most powerful armed force among the Southeast countries. Once a war occurs, the Goryeo New Army can at least be used to maintain the stability of East Asia, mainly Japan.

Moreover, even without the relationship between Concubine Jin, North Korea has always been the most determined ally of the empire, and the relationship between the two countries is closer than that of Southeast Asian countries.

"Father, Muren passed away three months ago." Concubine Jin sighed deeply.

Ye Zhao was stunned for a moment and stared at Concubine Jin, trying to see if she was lying. However, Concubine Jin and North Korea betrayed themselves or the empire in the East did not have any benefit at all. It would be even less profitable to hide Mu Ren in secret. It should not be a lie.

Concubine Jin said again: "My son knows that the matter is important and always wants to tell her father himself, but every time she generates electricity to Beijing, others always return it, saying that the father has no time to meet her son, and the son is afraid to tell others that he can only wait for the father to report everything in his spare time."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly. He heard from the matchmaker that Jin Fei had indeed sent many telegrams to the capital in the past three months, saying that she was going to the capital to pay homage to the emperor, as if there was something very important, which was also one of the reasons why Ye Zhao came to Seoul.

"Die it if you die." Ye Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Do you have a good burial." He was not going to pursue it. Perhaps Concubine Jin thought it was for him, or perhaps Mu Ren died unexpectedly, but the sending of the former Japanese royal family to North Korea back then did mean to drive away tigers and swallowing wolves. After all, the Japanese royal family's exile in China is a major event and will be recorded in history books in the future. In the end, they were willing to live in Korea. The empire abandoned the relationship, at least in official history, they can reject the relationship with a high sound. As for unofficial history and legends, they don't have to pay attention to it.

"Are you doing well in the past few years?" Ye Zhao savored the tea gently and nodded slightly.

"My son is all right. My father has just returned from afar?" Concubine Jin asked carefully. Although she was domineering in the court, she could not help but be half short whenever she faced Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "You are as smart as before. Some changes have occurred in Western Xinjiang, and I think you know."

Concubine Jin said: "If the father and emperor have any orders, my son and millions of North Korean subjects will go through fire and water to go to the national crisis together!"

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "It's not that serious. When it comes to subjects, you always have to give people a full meal, don't do face-saving projects, and do something for your subjects steadily. In the future, there will be no bad news in history, and this is also accumulating blessings for future generations." Ye Zhao never believed that it was correct to not interfere in other countries' internal affairs. The empire's promotion of values ​​to the outside world was even more interfering in political affairs. He did not want to see friendly countries across mountains and rivers becoming a bad template for dictatorship.

"Yes, my daughter knows." Concubine Jin replied carefully.

The two of them chatted for a while, and Concubine Jin stood up and said, "Don't worry, Father, the maid in Courtyard No. 1 is carefully selected by the son minister. Although he does not know his father's identity, he can trust them."

When Concubine Jin left the reception room, when the sisters Zhu Sisi came back from a walk, they saw Zhu Qiqi being angry. Zhu Sisi was talking to her, "It will be dirty, what's the big deal? Don't tell the master, so that people will think we are bullying people outside." Because of the Goryeo waitress, Zhu Sisi called Ye Zhao "Master".

After hearing the conversation, Concubine Jin walked over and asked, "Two ladies, who bullied the two ladies?" After saying that, she stared at the waitresses wearing all the blue dresses.

Although the waitresses did not know the identity of Concubine Jin, they also knew that the lady was of high status and powerful. When she was glaring at her stern eyes, her face turned pale. One of the foremen stuttered: "Yes, it was a guest from the No. 5 Courtyard. She broke Miss Zhu's pearl and spoke rudely."

It turned out that while Zhu Sisi and Zhu Qiqi were walking, Zhu Qiqi suddenly found that the pearl necklace on their necks was missing. When she turned around, she found a group of Nanyang merchants in front of the gate of No. 5 Courtyard. They should be from Brunei. One of them was holding Zhu Qiqi's necklace and marveled. The guards went to ask for the necklace. The dark-skinned South Asians insisted that the necklace belonged to them. The residents of Southeast Asian islands have always liked to take advantage of it, and everyone in the Southeast countries knows it.

The guards led by Zhu Sisi were not in charge of this and forced to snatch the necklace from them. These Brunei people cursed. Zhu Sisi stopped the guards who were about to attack. On the one hand, they disdained the common knowledge of some natives; on the other hand, they were abroad and could not make people feel that the imperial royal family was bullying others with their power.

Zhu Qiqi saw that the pearl chain was trampled and dirty, not to mention that she was touched by a man outside her brother-in-law. She obviously couldn't take it anymore, and she was even more displeased. She kept mumbling until now, and she was taught a lesson by her sister.

After hearing the waiter's words, Concubine Jin frowned slightly and said to Zhu Sisi and Zhu Qiqi: "Yu'er deserves to die. She shouldn't be allowed to wait for people to move in, but she was afraid of disturbing outsiders..., the two ladies waited for a moment." She winked at the nearby servants and left the living room.

Zhu Sisi didn't have time to dissuade him, so she shook her head and walked along the west corridor to the reception room. Through the large glass door, she saw Ye Zhao leaning against the sofa and smoking. She didn't know what to think about. Zhu Sisi didn't want to disturb him, so she had to turn around. In the living room, she saw Zhu Qiqi chatting with the waiter. The unhappiness just now seemed to have forgotten immediately. Zhu Sisi's helplessness, this sister, she didn't know what kind of disaster she would bring to the Brunei people. After so much, she was fine.

Zhu Qiqi was asking a young waiter of sixteen or seventeen years of experience about the customs and life of the North Koreans, and even insisted on drinking Green Arrow soda.

The young waiter looked at the foreman's eyes with a blushing face. Seeing the foreman nodding slightly, he sucked a straw and took a sip. Although they usually served the State Guesthouse and saw various Chinese goods, in Seoul society, they are more of a high-income special interest body and a top-notch person. When it comes to Chinese goods, they are very knowledgeable. I don't know how many people envy them, but they can only distribute some of these Chinese goods during the Chinese New Year. Where can they usually afford to consume them?

"Is it delicious?" Zhu Qiqi said: "This is produced by my brother's factory."

She said it came from nature, just to say something unusual. After all, a soda factory is no big deal, but these waiters were shocked. Green Arrow soda is a high-end and luxury item in Dutch water. They usually distribute a small box during the Chinese New Year, and they are reluctant to drink it. When they encounter difficulties at home, they often bring gifts to officials. However, they often meet the owner who produces them today. Miss Zhu's brother must be a big chaebol in the East.

Zhu Sisi looked at her sister and had a headache, so she simply went upstairs.
