Chapter six hundred and seventy-two when you are expensive and when you are cheap

Kaiping City, a strange city.

However, for the virtuous master, all the cities of the Ming Dynasty should be unfamiliar with her. She had never been here before. People did not pay attention to the scenery of Kaiping City because there were even more grand scenes that attracted the attention of the survivors of the delegation.

Above the endless wilderness outside the city, there are tents and troops. The villages in the city are dotted on the earth, as if they have been submerged by the army!

Firecracker-like firecrackers sounded from time to time on the school ground, and the sound drifted in the wind; there were also strings of white smoke, which were particularly eye-catching. Groups of war horses were galloping, and soldiers were shouting. When people came here, the surroundings suddenly became noisy and lively.

There is no wind, flowers, snow and moon, no small bridges and flowing water, and no pavilions. Standing outside the city tower on the horizon, there are all soldiers and horses in sight!

The virtuous man has never seen such a large army, but he can understand that it is impossible for a hundred thousand army to have such a lineup!

Soon, officials from the Ming Dynasty welcomed him, and Kang Shunchen said a while ago. During this period, Kang Shunchen also said in relatively smooth Chinese: "We were attacked on the way, and our letter of nationality was taken away by the thieves."

After a while, everything went smoothly. The team continued to move towards the city and soon entered the gate of Kaiping City.

The virtuous master couldn't help but be curious and quietly picked up the curtain to see the scenery in the city. At this time, he only saw a large area of ​​low houses, mainly tiled houses with hard hip roofs; near the city gate, the construction streets and alleys were obviously very boring.

The group walked along the street for a long time and came to an outside of a yamen. Compared with the government offices of the Korean and Korean countries, the gate of the yamen was somewhat similar, or the government offices of the Korean and Korean countries had reasons that they imitated the Ming system.

They entered a yard near the yamen, and the Ming soldiers who accompanied them left.

The virtuous man was taken into the inner house, and a group of seven or eight women of different ages followed and bowed to her. Among them, a young lady with double-ring hair styles whispered: "Can she understand what we say?"

The virtuous man-in-law was about to walk in, when Kang Shunchen and Park Jingwu rushed to the front of the gatehouse.

Kang Shunchen stepped forward to pay a visit and said in Korean and Korean words: "Report to the Lord Weng, this is the place where the Ministry of Rites is requisitioned. The six ministries of the Ming Dynasty have all set up halls in the local area. The Ming Dynasty officials said that we were envoys of the Korean and Korean countries, so they were welcomed by the Ministry of Rites. The officials here also told that foreign officials should not enter and exit the inner house at will; lower officials and General Park cannot enter and exit easily. If you have any questions, you must come out of this gatehouse to meet."

The virtuous man said, "I understand, you can rest."

Everyone had been on the road for so long, and finally had a place to settle down. In the past two days, the clothes, seals and other items of the virtuous man were returned one after another.

Li Qi was an official of the Ming Dynasty court. He had met a virtuous master in Korea. Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty ruler believed in Li Qi, he could confirm the identity of the virtuous master without sealing the letter.

She lived in this yard for a few days. Before the Zhongyuan Festival, a fat, round-faced eunuch came.

The white-faced eunuch, accompanied by the envoy of the Korean Kingdom and others, paid a visit to the virtuous master in the inner house gatehouse.

"Please prepare for me. Today, I will go to the emperor's palace to meet the saint." The eunuch ordered.

Seeing that the sun was still in the sky at this time, the virtuous man could not help but ask in awkward Chinese words: "I have learned the etiquette of the time when I meet the saint, and I have learned the etiquette in the middle school of the country. I hope my father-in-law will make it clear, what else should I prepare?"

The eunuch frowned and said, "No matter how etiquette is answered, don't just disobey the emperor! The old man took advantage of the time to cultivate for a while, then take a shower and dress up better."

After hearing this, the virtuous man's expression changed slightly, but he nodded and agreed.

The eunuch held the whisk and said, "Our family will say goodbye. Before You hour, we will send a carriage to pick up the master."

As soon as the eunuch who was awarding the order left, Park Jingwu became anxious: "What do you mean by the eunuch? The master is a clan of our country. Now he is enthroned and there is no ceremony. Do they ask you to clean up and go to bed?!"

"Pu Jingwu!" Kang Shunchen scolded, "Pay attention to your etiquette."

Park Jingwu's face was already red, and he spoke back very angryly: "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was arrogant and rude, like a barbarian!"

Kang Shunchen was furious and was about to speak. However, the virtuous master stopped Kang Shunchen and sighed: "The people around him should not understand the Korean and Korean language. Kang Shunchen, don't worry too much, and don't argue again."

Kang Shunchen sighed and stared at Park Jingwu and said, "If you heard those disrespectful words just now, do you know how serious it is? This is diplomatic relations, and every word and action are related to the relationship between the two countries. Who can bear this responsibility!"

The virtuous man was so angry that he was stunned for a while.

She did not tell Park Kyung-woo the same thing as Kang Soon-chen, but she said something as if irrelevant: "Everyone has his own mission, responsibility, and has received favors from others, so she cannot just think about herself..."

After a moment of pause, she continued, "I am very grateful for General Park's loyalty and contribution to me. But I told you a few years ago that I can only follow my father's arrangements for my marriage; I asked you a few days ago if you will feel resentment..."

Park Jingwu hurriedly said, "Mo Jiang is definitely not greedy for the loyalty to the Lord of the Manchu! But a noble person like the Lord of the Manchu was actually so despised in the Ming Dynasty. Mo Jiang is really angry!"

The virtuous man shook his head and sighed quietly: "How noble is it? You don't know my father's situation."

Park Jingwu said: "That is also a clan of the Li family! You cannot agree to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, but you can write a letter to advise the emperor that you must first enthrone and give a legitimate title, so that it is in accordance with etiquette!"

The virtuous man is silent.

Park Jingwu looked up in pain and sighed.

The virtuous man said seriously: "General Park and the words of envoy Kang are all the truth. You have to obey and don't miss major issues. You have always been kind to me. I have advised you to be sensible and not to do things that are harmful to the general situation... Are you really not greedy?"

Park Jingwu was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and clasped his fists and said, "I will obey the order! As long as the master is ready, I will be satisfied, I will have nothing to ask for!"

The tone of the virtuous mangirl softened a little, and he said kindly: "General Park also tries his best to protect his life and death. I am really moved by your sincerity. General Park, please accept my greeting!"

Park Jingwu hurriedly returned and nodded vigorously and said, "It is helpless to sacrifice for the country. As long as you still remember the sincerity of the last general, you will die without regrets!"

The virtuous man-in-law buried his head, wiped his tears gently, and choked and said, "If nothing else, I will go back to the room first."

Park Jingwu knelt on the ground with a "pull" and opened his mouth with pain. Finally, he put on a sentence: "I will be incompetent and will make the Lord suffer!"

The virtuous man returned to the room and asked the servants to boil water to serve the bath. Then she spent a long time combing her hair, carefully applying makeup, choosing accessories, and putting on the robes and dresses of the nobles of the Korean and Korean countries (very similar to the high-waisted Hanfu).

Thinking of the big man with arms thicker than ordinary people and thicker words | Lu, the virtuous man-lord occasionally felt that his thoughts might have been wasted. However, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was the monarch with the most powerful and vast territory at this time, and the virtuous man-lord's intentions did not seem to be anything.

A beautiful and sad face reflected in the bronze mirror on the dressing table. The colorful earrings swayed gently in the light yellow copper light, becoming more and more beautiful. She picked up the eyebrow pencil, slowly outlined her eyebrows, and couldn't help but sigh again.

The man I saw in the woods a few days ago was probably the emperor. The virtuous man was already a little convinced. She calmed down and thought about it... She said in public that she was beautiful and asked her to spend time competing for favor, but she didn't seem to be something a minister could say!

In short, the virtuous man was in his heart. She was not only very afraid of the great man, but also worried that the emperor would make any mistakes after she became the concubine of the Ming emperor! After all, as soon as she arrived in the Ming Dynasty, she saw the conspiracy of life and death. At that time, she was in a foreign country and had a reputation and could not leave. What should she do?

At about the time of Shen, the car that welcomed the virtuous master came to the yard.

The virtuous man-master dressed in luxurious clothes and a veil covering her face, slowly walked out of the inner house gatehouse. Kang Shunchen and Park Jingwu stood solemnly bent aside and bowed to greet her. The eunuchs who were greeting her also held their fists and bowed. The eunuchs bent over and said respectfully: "Mr. Weng, please."

She walked to the back of the carriage with a dignified posture, turned to look at Park Jingwu again. Park Jingwu bent down and stood there, his eyes full of soreness and helplessness.

She turned around and bent down to the carriage. The servant next to her immediately lowered the curtain.

After a while, the carriage drove to the emperor's "palace". Perhaps the palace was also a temporary requisitioned mansion, not too far from the government office. The virtuous man-in-law sat upright in the carriage, staring straight ahead, with no expression on her face. She had no time to think too much now, and was nervously preparing how to deal with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty appropriately.

Soon the carriage stopped, and the eunuch outside reported. The virtuous man stood up, the curtain was lifted open, and the two maids reached out to help her walk.

"Please follow our family, please come with us." said the fat and round-faced eunuch.

The followers were all in their original place, and only the two of them walked north. They passed through a row of houses and a corridor between the walls, and then entered a gatehouse with guards standing by.

She observed the surrounding scenery from time to time and found that this mansion was better than many houses in the city, and she thought the owner was also a wealthy house.

The two walked along the corridor of the eaves for a while, and saw a man in black robe with swords stopped them. However, the man was very polite to the eunuch and even held his fists and politely: "Eunuch Cao wait a moment, there is still someone in the lord's room."

"Let's wait a moment." The fat eunuch named Cao said with a smile, "The emperor has been very busy these two days."

The virtuous man said, "Thank you for your care."

She said something and stopped talking, and still pondered in her mind. The weather in early autumn still had residual heat, and her hands were sweating. I don’t know if it was because of the hot weather or because of the panic...
