Chapter 1206 Diplomacy is no trivial matter - what happened next
At this time, Lu Mingbo had also sobered up, and was panicked when he saw the three Ming people who were beaten unconscious in front of him. If he committed such a thing in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, even if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not care about him, he would still do it in the future.
There is no future at all.
His legs suddenly went weak and he was about to fall to the ground. But one of his followers was also full of panic, but after taking a look at the clothes he was wearing, he suddenly thought of something and leaned into Lu Mingbo's ear and said: "Young Master
, we wear the clothes of the Ming Dynasty and speak the words of the Ming Dynasty."
Lu Mingbo reacted immediately. They had been chatting in Chinese just now, and they did not mention North Korea in their conversation. Others did not know that they were North Koreans!
Thinking of this, Lu Mingbo ran out of the store as fast as he could. The waiters in the store didn't dare to participate in the fight just now, and they didn't dare to stop them now. They let them go, and then stepped forward to help the store owner and the two unlucky ones.
of guests.
Lu Mingbo escaped from the store successfully, but after running a few steps, Su Xiang had already rushed over with two policemen, chasing after the store owner's screams of surprise and anger.
When Lu Mingbo saw three policemen chasing him, he became even more panicked and ran away in a panic. Su Xiang and others were in hot pursuit. In panic, Lu Mingbo ran into a dead end and was blocked by three policemen. Lu Mingbo saw that he was about to
When he was caught, he didn't care about anything. He picked up a broom from a roadside shop and hit the police. As a son of a noble family and a person who could be sent as an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, he was naturally not a waste and was capable of both literary and military skills.
Even if they were waving brooms, they were not something that the police could deal with. Several of his followers were also good at martial arts. They dispersed three policemen and rushed out. In panic, Lu Mingbo struck harder and severely injured one of the policemen.
Su Xiang's eyes suddenly turned red when he saw this situation. He and his colleagues were both former soldiers of the Beijing Guard. Although they were not from the same guard, they had developed a deep relationship after getting along with each other in the past few years. At this moment, he saw Zhang Youhe being seriously injured.
, shouted: "Youhe!" He got up from the ground with red eyes, drew out his knife and rushed forward. The other policeman cried and helped Zhang Youhe up, shouting for people to find a doctor.
Lu Mingbo ran away in front, and Lu Mingbo followed closely behind, blowing the whistle in his mouth while chasing, attracting countless police officers to follow him. Lu Mingbo was unwilling to take them to the Fanguan under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, because this would mean
After his identity as a foreign envoy was exposed, he could be found out with just a quick check; but at this time, there were many policemen chasing behind him, and he would definitely be caught if he didn't run into the police station, and looking at their angry expressions, he felt...
He might have been beaten to death in public. If his life was gone, there would be nothing left. He could only run back to Bankan with his entourage.
Although the gatekeepers at the banguan were surprised to see Lu Mingbo being chased by many policemen, they still let him in and stopped the policemen who were chasing him.
Su Xiang was about to catch up with them but was stopped. He almost killed the concierge with a knife, but was stopped by other policemen.
Su Xiang finally calmed down, communicated with the concierge, told him what happened, and asked to be let in to arrest those people. Naturally, the concierge would not let them in, but it was a big deal for a policeman to be seriously injured in the capital.
, went in and informed Li Guan, the official in charge of the Ministry of Rites, about the matter.
After that comes the opening scene.
…
…
Li Guan put down his hand that was touching the pocket of his coat, stood up and straightened his clothes, and said to Xu Qian, the director of Fanguan in front of him: "Now most of the envoys are waiting for His Majesty's reception in the palace. There should be nothing going on here. I'll go back
Go to the ministry and you stay here. If there is something important that cannot be handled, send someone to the ministry to tell me and I will come back to handle it. But there should be no such thing."
"But remember, you must not let the police come in and take Lu Mingbo away. Unless there is an imperial edict from the emperor, even Yin Huanghuai of Yingtian Prefecture cannot be handed over."
"Yes, Master Li." Xu Qian agreed.
Li Guan nodded, gave a few more instructions, turned around and left the Fan Hall. In front of the gate of the Fan Hall, he looked at the few policemen who were staring at the place not far away, sneered and said: "A few blue-skinned bastards"
, I thought I was someone." He immediately mounted his horse and rushed to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
Not long after, he arrived at the door of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites. As soon as he walked in and chatted with the officials he knew well, he heard a sharp and thin voice coming from the door: "Is Li Guan, the foreign minister of the Department of Ceremonies of the Ministry of Rites, here?"
"Who is calling me?" Li Guan subconsciously turned around and saw a man wearing a sixth-grade eunuch's uniform with a pale face and no beard standing at the door. He happened to look at him when he heard the answer.
"Your Majesty, I have seen this father-in-law. I wonder what your father-in-law's name is. Why do you want to see me?" Li Guan immediately put on a flattering voice and said to the eunuch.
However, his flattery could not be exchanged for good words. "Are you Li Guan, the foreign minister of the ceremonial department?" The eunuch glanced at him up and down in a high-pitched voice, and then said in a cold voice: "What's wrong with our family?"
If you don’t deserve the title of a lower-ranking official like Mr. Li, Mr. Li, you should still refer to our family in accordance with the rules set by the Ming Dynasty Huidian."
"Master Li, His Majesty has summoned you. Please follow us into the palace as soon as possible."
"Eunuch, I wonder why your Majesty summoned your officials to see you?" Although he hit a soft nail, Li Guan still didn't give up and asked again.
But this time the eunuch did not answer, but took a few steps back and motioned for him to follow him into the palace. Li Guan had no choice but to follow him into the palace.
After a while, he passed through the first three halls, passed the Qianqing Gate and came to the Qianqing Palace. When he walked into a room, he saw a man wearing a dragon robe sitting on it and immediately knelt down and said: "I am the Minister of Etiquette.
Li Guan, a member of the production department, has met your Majesty. Long live your Majesty!" He kowtowed three times.
Yunxi glanced at him and said: "Li Guan, Su Xiang, the captain of the Ninth Patrol Team of Yingtianfu Xicheng Police Station just now, said that he was chasing the fugitive, but the fugitive escaped into the fan hall and the police were not allowed to go in. He talked with the concierge.
Tell me what happened. After the concierge asked you for instructions, you refused to hand the person over to the police in Yingtian Mansion. Is this the case?"
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."
"Why did you do this?"
"Your Majesty, I am here in accordance with the precedent of the Hongwu Dynasty." Li Guan kowtowed again and said: "Your Majesty, during the Hongwu Dynasty, there were Japanese envoys who violated the law and discipline in the capital. The late emperor absolved their sins and allowed them to
Japan is taking them back home to deal with them themselves."
"Furthermore, I believe that as the Ming Dynasty, it is not appropriate for the Ming Dynasty to be harsh on the people of the foreign countries. Moreover, the person who committed the crime was an envoy of the Korean State. As the most respectful foreign country in the Ming Dynasty, North Korea should be cautious in dealing with it, even if it is a small matter.
We must also consider not to hurt the respect of the Ming Dynasty among the foreign countries, and we should give them some preferential treatment."
After Li Guan said these words, he heard a noise in front of him, and then a man in royal robes walked up to him and told him: "Raise your head!"
Li Guan obeyed the order and looked up. Suddenly, a big slap hit him in the face!
