Li Shangxian and Cao Yunda were stationed in Kaicheng, Songdu. Hong Jinglai and Min Jingxu, the leader of the government, had to greet them at Biti Pavilion. As for Li Jing, they had to go out of the city to greet the Qing envoys when they arrived in Hanyang.

The appearance of the city has basically improved. Li Hu even went out incognito for a tour and told Zhao Wanyong not to be afraid of spending money. He could reimburse any expenses incurred to entertain the Qing envoys. As for the appearance of the city, he was also very careful.

It's satisfying. The streets where sewage and even human and animal excrement used to flow have been cleaned up.

Those who should be paved with loess should be paved with loess, and those who should be renovated should be renovated. Because Zhao Wanyong keeps a close eye on them, anyone who dares to litter on the street will be caught and hauled away. Those who refuse to change will be put in a public toilet and dug into a cesspool for a day to remember.

Hong Jinglai also took a general look around, confirmed that there was no problem, and built nine colorful sheds outside Ying'en Gate to accommodate Li Jing and other ministers. As for the propaganda and honor guards, it was easy to solve. The six who taught the troops

Hundreds of cavalrymen can be pulled over to serve as a guard of honor. The other eunuchs in the palace and the officers' sons and daughters of your lords' families all came out in their best attires and carried flags.

For several days, they rode fast horses one after another, constantly reporting where the Qing envoys were. Finally, Hong Jinglai and Min Jingxue picked them up at Biti Hall. Of course, they were not picked up by the Qing envoys, but by the imperial edict of Emperor Jiaqing. An imperial edict.

, an edict, is the same as the King of Vietnam, King Zhongshan of Ryukyu, and King Nanzhang.

According to the itinerary, the Qing envoy finally arrived in Beijing and saw carriages, horses and umbrella stands in the distance. This time the Qing government's canonization committee was really surprising. It sent Jueluo Wanfu and Chonggui, the head of the Ministry of Rites, as the chief and deputy canonization envoys (here is a special explanation,

Because this canonization did not happen in history, the canonization envoys were the people of the authentic king Li Zou. I am very sorry.), the Qing government actually used Huang Daizi, a clan member, as the canonization envoy. This was not the case in Korea since the Qing Dynasty.

It is a rare honor in history.

Generally, it was just a flag member of about fifth rank who came to confer the title, such as Adahaha and Zha Kedan from the Kangxi Dynasty, Aktun from the Yongzheng Dynasty, etc., but they were not high-status officials or princes and clans.

It's such an unexpected surprise to have a Jueluo come to us this time!

Seeing the two consecrated envoys with smiling faces, and the hundreds of Korean servants carrying gifts and driving ox carts behind their carriages, the last stone fell in Hong Jinglai's heart. Obviously, he was very satisfied with this, and he was very satisfied with this.

North Korea’s hospitality cannot be uttered with the word “no”.

Don't look at Hong Jinglai, who lives in Hanyang with only five people and six people. In front of others, he is very cautious. Before he gets off his horse, he walks forward several steps and bows to salute. He has servants and family members.

I went to help Wan Fu dismount from his horse. He was not allowed to ride in a sedan during the thousands of miles on his mission to North Korea, which made Jueluo feel very inconvenient. After all, riding a horse is not as comfortable as riding a sedan. The good sedan bearers in Yanjing City, carry

Lifting the sedan chair was extremely smooth.

During Wan Fu's one month in North Korea, except when he was tired from riding a horse, the rest of the time was the happiest time since he was born. Even though he is a Jueluo, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of Jueluo in Yanjing City.

Life has become much more miserable. The hard-core crops are not fake, but the little money is not enough to cover expenses. Some people have long sold all their houses and land and moved to shantytowns outside the city.

.

Now in North Korea, Wan Fu felt what it was like for his ancestors to be masters in North Korea two hundred years ago. Those singers were not as good as those in Yanjing, although he may not have seen a few good ones.

Others introduced that in front of them were Min Jinghye, the leader of the Korean state, and the Lord of the Zhongfeng Prefecture. Hong Jinglai, the judge of the third cao, Wan Fu nodded and knew. Hong Jinglai was very understanding and ordered Jin Shilong to carry a box of three thousand taels of silver ingots to Wan.

After doing the dismounting work again, he also gave the deputy envoy Chonggui a big red envelope of one thousand taels of silver, making the two Qing envoys feel at home.

Naturally, there was no dissatisfaction after seeing Yinzi. No one had any grudges against Yinzi. Let's stop chatting and enter the Biti Pavilion for a short rest. Over there, Hong Jinglai also quickly arranged for people to notify Li Li and prepare for the arrival of the Qing envoy tomorrow.

.

Of course, not to mention the banquet here, the last bits of playing, singing, and bouncing things here in Hanyang were all packed up to the Bijing Pavilion, leaving Min Jingyue at the banquet to socialize with Wan Fu. Hong Jinglai quickly found him

Lin Shangwo asked about the specific circumstances of this mission, and Lin Shangwo shouted that he was lucky.

It turned out that in the first month of the first lunar month, Jiaqing ordered Mianning, the second son of the emperor, to choose Fujin. At that time, he fell in love with the daughter of Shu Ming'a, the first-class Chengen Gong, and thought she was a good match. He was very happy and immediately gave Mianning, the future Emperor Daoguang, a gift.

marriage.

To say that this Shu Ming'a also comes from a wealthy family, you will know that he is extraordinary just by looking at his first-class Chengen Gong. His ancestors were Tong Yangzhen (zheng), the commander of the Ming Dynasty's fort defense, and the deputy commander-in-chief, because he defected to the Manchus early in the morning.

She was completely regarded as one of her own by the Manchus. Her family was extremely prosperous in the Manchus. Tong Yangzhen’s granddaughter was Empress Shunzhi, the birth mother of Kangxi. Now Shu Ming’a’s daughter was chosen as the second son of the emperor, Mianning’s Fujin, and her marriage to the royal family became even more intimate.

.

Because of this incident, Jiaqing was extremely happy in those days, thinking that he had chosen a very good wife for his son. Now that he was old, he naturally began to think about the prince's affairs. She was both long-term and expensive.

The emperor's second son Mian Ning was actually his first choice. As for the emperor's eldest son, he died at birth, so it's okay not to mention it.

The third child is eleven years old this year. If there is no choice, the emperor would not be willing to hand over the country to a small child. The young master is suspicious of the country, and the powerful ministers are enlarged. This is something that no feudal emperor wants to see.

.

Mian Ning proposed marriage and got Lin Shangwo's advantage. Jiaqing wrote in his letter that he knew it!

That's what the leader is like. He writes that he has read it, and the rest of the work is left to the younger brothers to run errands. Lin Shangwo was like a coin-throwing boy in Yanjing, a man or a dog. As long as he could speak in front of Jiaqing, he was speechless.

Money, don't work too smoothly now.

The whole process took less than a week. Even because he was happy, Jiaqing even appointed Jueluo as the canonization envoy to come to North Korea to confer the canonization. By the way, the new emperor Li? At that time, he sent an envoy to Yanjing to attend the ceremony for the second son of the emperor.

Wedding in Mianning.

"Thousands of calculations and plans are nothing compared to a happy event!" Hong Jinglai never expected that it would be like this. Such a coincidence happened together. This is a free gift from God.

"That's right. When he met with the emperor, the emperor didn't ask anything about his succession. I thought this matter would be extremely difficult to handle, but suddenly it happened!" Lin Shangwo also couldn't believe it. He was summoned by Jiaqing and had nothing but good things to say.

I didn’t mention it, just thank you.
Chapter completed!
