Lao Zhu was about to speak when Su Huai'en walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Prince Jing'an of North Korea, Li Fangyuan, has arrived. He is waiting in the side hall. Do you want to pass it on?"
Lao Zhu said: "Don't you want to see the prince of North Korea? Today, grandpa called Li Fangyuan, the prince sent by North Korea. You guys will meet first today, and then if you want to see him, you can go to the Lifanyuan."
After a pause, Lao Zhu said again: "I don't know how you want to treat North Korea. You definitely don't want to just meet. But no matter what you plan, the vassal vassal must not be lost, and we, the great China, cannot repeat it.
Impermanence, as long as North Korea still considers itself to be the vassal vassal of the Ming Dynasty, we must not use troops in North Korea, and we must remember the lessons learned by Emperor Sui Yang!"
Seeing Lao Zhu's sincerity, Yunxi said sternly: "Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson will never use troops in North Korea!" He indeed did not intend to use military means to deal with North Korea.
Lao Zhu saw that he said it solemnly and knew that Yunxi was serious, so he felt relieved.
After a while, Li Fangyuan walked in, knelt down and saluted Lao Zhu, saluted Yunxi twice, and then Yunxi returned the salute. After that, Lao Zhu said a few words to Li Fangyuan, and Yunxi also said a few words to Li Fangyuan, and then let him go.
He went down. Today was just a meeting.
Then Yunxi and Lao Zhu had dinner, returned to Wenhua Hall, and went to Xiyao's bedroom to talk to her as usual. Then Yunxi remembered what he said today and said to Xiyao: "There will be a little girl in two days
Please pay more attention when entering the palace, I will go and talk to Xiyi later."
Xiyao misunderstood. She thought carefully and said, "I wonder if His Highness is interested in that girl? My sister and I should be well prepared."
After listening to her words, Yunxi couldn't laugh or cry and said: "You misunderstood, it was not me who took the concubine. It was Lan Lian who died for me. I feel uneasy. His wife Hu gave birth to a girl a few days ago, and Hu had difficulty in giving birth."
I want to take this girl into the palace to raise her and make her the princess."
Only then did Xiyao realize that she had made a mistake, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I was wrong." Then he said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely treat her as my daughter. I will tell her to go down now."
Prepare the nanny and the servants, and make sure the servants don’t treat her badly.”
Yunxi said: "Xiyi is taking care of the palace affairs now. You'd better take a rest and wait until the baby is recovered after giving birth." Then he joked: "It's your sister who is taking care of the palace affairs. Why don't you still?"
Are you relieved?"
Xiyao knew he was joking and said: "I'm really worried. My sister is rough at work. Although she has made progress in taking care of the palace affairs these days, she still can't do it. I'd better give the order myself."
As expected, Li Fangyuan came to request an audience with Yunxi the next day, and brought many servants with him. Ming Dynasty had asked North Korea to send a prince to Beijing several months ago, and summoned him again yesterday. He immediately thought that Ming Dynasty had something to do with him.
Said, and most likely it was Yunxi who took care of it.
But he guessed wrong. Yunxi just wanted to actually contact the North Korean prince and make an accurate assessment of North Korea so that he could further improve his plan. He didn't have anything to say to him.
It is a big deal for an envoy to visit the crown prince. Even if the emperor allows it, it usually has to be arranged by the Ministry of Rites. However, Li Fangyuan is a prince and can circumvent this rule.
There had been envoys visiting the prince before, so etiquette and so on were all established. After the ceremony, the two of them chatted for a while, and after getting acquainted with each other, Yunxi took Li Fangyuan and said: "Jing'an Jun, bring these people here.
do what?"
Li Fangyuan said with a smile: "I heard that the Crown Princess was about to give birth to a prince, so I specially prepared some gadgets for the unborn Highness. I also went to Fengen Temple, the largest temple in our country, to pray for blessings and asked for an amulet personally blessed by Master Zhiguang.
."
Yunxi said: "How can I accept your gift?"
Li Fangyuan said: "They are just some gadgets. Although they are not available in the Ming Dynasty, they are not anything special. And this is just your Majesty's wish. Your Highness should accept it."
Yunxi didn't shy away from these little things. Hearing this, he said, "Then I'll accept it."
Then Yunxi asked again: "Jing'an Jun, even if you bring these gifts, you don't have to bring so many servants, right?"
Li Fangyuan said: "Your Highness, I heard that Your Highness is interested in the 'arts' of various countries, and it happened that I brought my North Korean troupe to perform for Your Majesty, so I brought them here."
Yunxi suddenly didn't know what to say. Because he thought about using folk art in the future, he would listen to some foreign operas, as well as foreign storytellers, country songs, etc. on the street. In the capital, people from all over the country have them.
, so there is folk art everywhere.
The ministers did not have an audience because Yunxi did not often listen to opera, and it was normal for the emperor to have some entertainment. Li Fangyuan must have heard about this when he arrived in the capital, and then he brought the opera troupe here.
Yunxi thought that since he had brought it, he should watch it, so he said: "Jing'an Jun is too polite, so just watch it, I know you know the Korean opera."
Li Fangyuan heard that Yunxi was right, and called the attendants around him to come over and whisper a few words. Then not long after the attendants went down, the people below began to play. First, there was an opera that was said to have been passed down from the Three Han Dynasty.
, because the opera singer had a strong Chinese accent, so Yunxi didn’t understand it.
Then there was an opera "Shuanghua Shop" passed down from the Goryeo Dynasty. I saw a person sitting in the middle playing the piano, and a circle of people gathered around him to accompany him. I heard the man in the middle singing: "I originally wanted to buy some food at the Shuanghua Shop."
I was trying to make cakes, but the Mongolians grabbed my hand. If this matter spreads,..."
Above, Li Fangyuan is introducing this song to Yun Xi: "This is a song from Korea. It should have appeared when the Mongols were persecuting our people. It writes about the Mongols' persecution of our Korean people."
When Yunxi listened to the music, he always felt that the lyrics and the music were not completely matched. After all, he had listened to a lot of similar things in the past two years and had the ability to appreciate art. However, he had not heard the original version of "Frost Flower Shop", so he didn't know.
Good speech.
Li Fangyuan continued: "So all the people in Korea are happy that the Ming Dynasty drove away the Mongols."
Although Yunxi didn't believe it, he couldn't refute it, so he just said "Yeah, yeah".
After that, the North Korean opera troupe performed a lot of operas, and Li Fangyuan also kept talking to Yunxi. Yunxi became alert. Even if Li Fangyuan is a small country serving a big country, he is too flattering. This is not normal!
