Yunxi then stood up and asked Wang Xi: "What is Zhu Fangyuan doing in the side hall now?"
"When the servant brought His Highness the King of Chao, His Highness saw a cabinet full of books and asked the servant if she could read. The servant told her that she could. He bowed to the main hall and asked the eunuch who was cleaning the side hall to take a copy.
"Guoyu", sit down and read a book. The slave asked him to sit on the Arhat bed again and again, and he just sat down." Wang Xi replied.
""Guoyu"? The one he read? It couldn't be about Gou Jian destroying Wu, right?" Yunxi said with an unclear smile.
"My slave, look, it's Lan Yinqian, the fifteenth of the Chu language, who talks about the death of Wu general." Wang Xi didn't recognize a few words, but he remembered that it was the fifteenth of the Chu language. After coming out of the side hall, he asked specifically
How to read those words.
"Is he admonishing me?" Yunxi couldn't make up his mind. This paragraph in Chu language is about Chu State Minister Zixi talking to Lan Yinqian about the State of Wu. Lan Yinqian said that you don't have to worry about the State of Wu.
The Kingdom of Wu will surely perish under the rule of Wu. In the thinking of some civil servants, they have the style of Fucha; of course, those who support Yunxi say that it is the style of Helu.
"But Zhu Fangyuan is not a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to say how loyal he is to the Ming Dynasty." Yunxi could not determine what Zhu Fangyuan meant, and it didn't matter what Zhu Fangyuan meant, so he didn't think about it and ordered a young eunuch.
Go to Tai Hospital again.
Not long after, the young eunuch came back and said, "Your Majesty, Doctor Zhang said it will take a quarter of an hour before the medicine is ready."
Yunxi waved his hand to ask him to leave. He walked over and straightened his clothes before getting up and heading to the side hall where Zhu Fangyuan was.
Zhu Fangyuan was sitting on the Arhat bed reading a book when he suddenly heard the eunuch announcing: "Your Majesty has arrived!" He quickly stood up and saluted Yunxi who walked in.
Yunxi supported him and said with a smile: "Brother Fangyuan, there is no need to be polite. I am not meeting you during tribute at this time, but to get along with you on weekdays, so there is no need to be polite."
"I dare not be addressed as His Highness," Zhu Fangyuan said again.
"Hey, when I get along with my clan princes, I usually call them brother. According to the etiquette, you are a prince, similar to my brother. How can you not deserve this title?"
"I am a foreign king, how can I stand shoulder to shoulder with the Prince of Ming Dynasty?"
"Both the Han people and the Koreans are my subjects. How can you call yourself a foreign king? In my opinion, you are just like a clan member."
Zhu Fangyuan still shied away, but Yunxi saw that he was determined not to give in on this issue, so he stopped mentioning it and said to him: "I just asked the imperial doctor, and it will take a quarter of an hour for the medicine to be prepared for you. It just so happened that I asked him about it.
The characters and customs of North Korea are very curious, let’s sit down and talk.”
Zhu Fangyuan didn't dare not agree and sat down to talk about North Korean characters and customs.
Because North Korea has a close relationship with the Central Plains Dynasty in history, its culture is deeply influenced by the Central Plains Dynasty, but because it has been an independent country for a long time, it has its own characteristics.
However, there are not many unique features, mainly the development of dance and porcelain. When it comes to dance, Yunxi remembered something and said: "I remember that in the 29th year of Hongwu, you came to the capital and brought a team
, performed a traditional Korean play for me."
"The performance performed for His Majesty at that time was "Frost Flower Shop". It was not a very old play, but was compiled during the Goryeo Dynasty. That opera was the best opera in Korea, and all the Ming Dynasty envoys who had been to Korea liked it very much. However,
In the past two years, someone has written a new play, which is very popular in our country." Zhu Fangyuan said with a little regret: "Your Majesty, it is a pity that I came to the Ming Dynasty in a hurry this time, so I did not bring my Korean dancers with me.
Otherwise, His Majesty will be able to see this opera."
"It doesn't matter whether you watch the opera or not," Yunxi said.
Zhu Fangyuan did not answer, and talked about other cultural features and scenic spots in North Korea. However, he did not mention Gyeongbokgung Palace. First of all, he was not as big as his descendants, and he was embarrassed to boast that a small and dilapidated palace seemed to be unparalleled in the world. Between the two, he
As a foreign king, if the palace is too gorgeous and it is suspected of exceeding the regulations, if it is too boastful and Yuan He orders him to rebuild it, he will shoot himself in the foot.
Yunxi finally heard him mention that he and Li Chenggui and his son had destroyed Buddhism and promoted Confucianism in the Korean peninsula, and he praised: "You have done a good job. Buddhism and Taoism naturally have their uses, but as the power in Korea at that time was so great, it was difficult to
It’s not a good thing anymore.”
"My late father also had the same intention as Your Majesty, so he forced many monks to return to secular life, confiscated the temple property and distributed it to the landless people." Zhu Fangyuan said.
After he finished speaking, Yunxi said: "Brother Fangyuan, it sounds to me that the gentry and common people in Korea are the same as those in the Ming Dynasty, but the language is slightly different. As for the customs, the customs in various places in the Ming Dynasty are also different. Guangci
It is also completely different from Jingci. The difference between the people of Korea and the people of Hebei and Shandong in the Ming Dynasty is not as great as the difference between the people of Shandong and Guangdong."
"What's more, North Korea now also conducts imperial examinations, which is no different from the Ming Dynasty."
North Korea is known as Little China. If the scholar-bureaucrats in the country heard Yun Xi speak like this, they would definitely be very happy. However, Zhu Fangyuan had always been wary of the Ming Dynasty. He only agreed softly and did not agree.
Yunxi didn't care, and said to him: "Since North Korea also implemented imperial examinations, and Ming Dynasty also implemented imperial examinations, how about the same imperial examination system as North Korea and Ming Dynasty?"
