Chapter five hundred and seventy first let him dry
Early the next morning, as the fish jumped out of the sea and the morning sun was just halfway up, Lu Xiangsheng rushed to Zhangzi Island.
At this time, Zhong Jinwei had just gotten up and was still having breakfast. Hearing that Lu Xiangsheng asked for an audience, he was taken directly to the back hall and prepared a breakfast for Lu Xiangsheng. Because of his philosophy, if you have to do things, you still have to eat.
Only when you have eaten enough can you feel energetic about doing things.
But Lu Xiangsheng could not be as calm as Zhong Jinwei. After he arrived in a hurry, Zhong Jinwei asked him to eat first, but he was speechless and hurriedly reported: "Master Hou, the Zhaoxian Crown Prince of North Korea, Li Shu, defected to Denglai and asked me to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty.
He is the king of Korea so that he can legitimately lead his people to fight against the invaders."
After Zhong Jinwei heard this, he stopped using his chopsticks to think about this matter.
Lu Xiangsheng stood there, waiting for him to express his opinion. After a while, he heard Zhong Jinwei say: "Jiutai, come on, sit down and eat, seafood porridge is very nutritious."
Lu Xiangsheng was stunned and asked quickly: "Master Hou, the crown prince of Joseon is still waiting outside!"
"This is neither a major military situation nor a fleeting fighter opportunity. Why are you anxious? People are iron and rice is steel. You must have a full meal before you can do anything!" When he said this, Lu Xiangsheng still stood stubbornly.
There, he said again, "Then let's discuss it while eating."
At this time, in fact, not only Lu Xiangsheng, but also Zhong Jinwei's guards were looking at Zhong Jinwei with some confusion. They didn't know what the Marquis meant by this move.
Seeing Zhong Jinwei's repeated insistence that he want to have breakfast first, Lu Xiangsheng strode to the seat prepared for him, picked up the bowl of seafood porridge and drank it all in one gulp, then looked up at Zhong Jinwei.
"Jiutai, you are so awesome and you are not afraid of being burned! Do you want another bowl?"
Zhong Jinwei's words made Lu Xiangsheng feel like he wanted to spit out the porridge he just drank. He helplessly shouted again: "Master Hou..."
Zhong Jinwei had almost finished eating at this time. He put down his chopsticks, put away his smile, and said seriously: "North Korea completely ignored the fact that the Ming Dynasty helped it fight against the Japanese. They also forgot that General Mao fought bloody battles for North Korea. In their bones,
There is a kind of ingratitude. It is their own choice to take refuge with the Jianlu and become slaves. Now they are bullied by the Jianlu and want to come back to me, Ming Dynasty. How can it be so cheap? Just for the sake of the overall situation, I am just ignoring them.
Just let it dry for a while, isn’t it too much?”
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he understood that the reason why Zhong Jinwei was not in a hurry was because of these things in Korea. In fact, he did not know that the reason why Zhong Jinwei did this was also a fact of later generations. It was just because it did not happen, so he did not say it.
"Master Marquis, let me have another bowl. I just couldn't taste the seafood porridge just now." Lu Xiangsheng understood Zhong Jinwei's thinking, so he stopped being anxious and asked Zhong Jinwei with a smile.
He also knew that a large part of the reason why the Ming Dynasty allowed Jianlu to take power was that most of the elites in the Liaodong military town died in the war to aid Korea and resist the Japanese during the Wanli period. Otherwise, whether the old slave could
It's really hard to say how big the waves will be.
Thinking again about the fact that the kings and ministers of North Korea were frightened by Jianlu and took refuge there. Although I don't know whether they really surrendered to Jianlu, such behavior also made Lu Xiangsheng, like Zhong Jinwei, despise him.
Marquis Zhongxing was right. The matter concerning the Crown Prince of Joseon was not urgent at this moment, so Lu Xiangsheng was not anxious anymore.
"Haha, Jiutai, you are really a pig eating ginseng fruit! Come on, give Jiutai another bowl of seafood porridge." Zhong Jinwei burst into laughter.
His guards all laughed after hearing this, and the atmosphere in the back hall suddenly became lively and relaxed.
Historically, when Yuan Keli was the governor of Denglai, he also forgave the North Korean envoys and waited a few days before summoning them.
After both of them were full, Zhong Jinwei and Lu Xiangsheng chatted for a while about the impact of this incident before moving to the lobby.
The North Korean envoy was waiting anxiously when he was suddenly summoned and hurried to the lobby.
Seeing the solemn soldiers on both sides of the hall, a young marquis was sitting behind the table in the middle, and Lu Xiangsheng was standing next to him. There were two rows of guards standing in a figure-eight shape on both sides, and there were even Dongchang officers from the Ming Dynasty.
These North Korean envoys suddenly felt the majesty of the atmosphere in the hall.
As soon as they entered the lobby, they were led by Prince Zhaoxian Li Gu, followed by Hong Yihan, the commander of the Si Xianfu, Yin Ji, the school director of Hongwenguan, and Wu Daji, the editor. They knelt down and kowtowed together, crying and saying: "North Korea is deeply affected by this."
The Jianlu are ruthless, and I hope that the Celestial Empire can make the decision for my small country!"
To show the identity of the Crown Prince Li Bo, there was no need to kneel down to Zhong Jinwei originally. But now they are asking for help from Zhong Jinwei. To put it harshly, they are like pancakes being roasted in a pot until they are charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
If you are in constant panic all day long, why should you care about etiquette?
Zhong Jinwei looked at the leader, Prince Zhaoxian, who was not very old. In fact, he was just the age when Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne. At this time, he was kneeling there with a look of sorrow and indignation, telling the blood and tears of Korea in straight Chinese.
Zhong Jinwei had spoken powerfully before, but now he no longer cared about North Korea. Looking at the young man in front of him, listening to his bloody and tearful accusations against Jianlu, he cried for his father and the people of North Korea.
At this time, compassion arises spontaneously.
The education of Chinese culture has always been sympathetic to the weak, and there is also a tradition of accepting the soft rather than the tough.
Zhong Jinwei thought that North Korea had already paid a heavy price for the wrong choice of their king. At this time, they had also realized the kindness of Ming Dynasty as the suzerain country, which was considered okay. If he continued to worry about it, he would fall behind.
.
Zhong Jinwei was thinking this. Prince Zhaoxian had probably been taught by others before he came to see him, and he began to repent of North Korea's previous ungrateful behavior, saying that he would recognize Ming Dynasty as the suzerainty of North Korea in the future and would never change.
In fact, North Korea was indeed grateful to the Ming Dynasty, but it was just because of cowardice and fear that it did not dare to fight and succumbed to the despotic power of the Jianlu.
Zhong Jinwei stood up immediately, went down and helped Prince Zhaoxian himself and said: "Jianlu is a traitor to our Ming Dynasty, and must be punished. If I want my Ming Dynasty to make you the king of Korea and lead the Korean army and people to resist the prisoners, I will do it myself."
As far as I’m concerned, there’s no problem.”
When Prince Zhaoxian heard that Zhong Jinwei had agreed, he cried with joy and wanted to kneel down again.
But he was supported by Zhong Jinwei and could not kneel down. He only heard Zhong Jinwei say: "But your king is still alive, and he is also the king of Korea who was canonized by the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty makes you the king now, it will be inconsistent with etiquette.
, I am afraid that many ministers in the DPRK and China will object."
Zhong Jinwei was not familiar with this kind of etiquette. It was Lu Xiangsheng who told Zhong Jinwei in the back hall just now that he said this.
Upon hearing this, Prince Zhaoxian gently broke away from Zhong Jinwei's hand, then picked up the hem of his clothes, put it into his mouth and tore it apart.
Zhong Jinwei watched quietly, not knowing what he was going to bring out.
