Of course, Gao Pragmatic made these preparations not just for the sake of being arty, or even if he was really being arty, he did so intentionally, because the Dacheng Taiji he was about to meet was the most famous pro-Ming faction among the right-wing Mongolian nobles. And not only is it intimate, but it is also harmonious.
Gao pragmatically had much more information about Bhan Naji than the imperial court. He even knew that Bhan Naji had built a Ming-style courtyard in Dabansheng City, and the main building in it completely inherited the Ming style layout. , except for a few hanging furs and bows and arrows, the place was completely the layout of a Ming Dynasty elegant scholar's villa.
Gao Pragmatic knew a lot about such small things, so he knew very well how to treat this Dacheng Taiji - like the young Kazakh and Korean youths in China in later generations, this Dacheng Taiji had an infinite yearning for the Ming Dynasty, so much so that he thought that the Ming Dynasty All his living habits are noble and elegant, and he imitates them subconsciously in his own life.
In order to satisfy Han Naji's yearning, Gao Pragmatic specially chose this luxurious villa owned by the king, and moved out the Chinese tea ceremony that has been passed down for thousands of years, so that Han Naji could deepen this "supremacy of Ming civilization" thinking.
Because of his young age, Han Naji did not catch up with the Gengshu Revolution, nor did he have the opportunity to see the hugeness and grandeur of the Ming Dynasty's capital. In fact, even with Datong City, he had only seen it once or twice from a distance outside the city, and had no chance to get close, but this did not prevent him from recognizing the majesty of Datong City.
In the eyes of Bhannaji, the ability to build such a magnificent city was simply unimaginable. The young Dacheng Taiji even once thought about this question: If we Mongolians can also build such a majestic city, why do we have to live in the open and live in the water and grass?
It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that after the reconstruction of Dabansheng City, he became the first high-ranking Mongolian noble to take the lead in setting up a villa inside Dabansheng City. Not only that, he also asked his grandfather the Great Khan several times to grant Da Ban Sheng City to the tribes under his direct leadership - because he hoped to live in the luxurious pavilions in the city all year round instead of living in his own house. It seems to be "extremely simple" in the felt tent.
Unfortunately, Anda Khan felt that Zhao Quan and others were quite valuable, so he never agreed. On the contrary, Yike Hatun comforted him many times, saying that when he made several meritorious deeds in the future, she would naturally help his good grandson. Asking for Daban Shengcheng as his territory barely comforted Dacheng Taiji, who was "devoted to the bright future".
Today, Han Naji finally entered the city of Datong, which was once so majestic in his eyes that it was impossible to conquer. He was personally welcomed by the famous Datong commander-in-chief Ma Lanxi, and rode into the city majestically on a tall horse.
The young man in the second grade of middle school was so excited that Han Naji almost couldn't help shouting three times: "I finally came in!"
Fortunately, the majestic-looking Ma Zongrong beside him made him resist this impulse - his grandfather, the Great Khan, could not get much benefit from Ma Zongrong. Although Han Naji was ranked second, he was not stupid, naturally. I have a subconscious fear of Ma Fang.
The reception and polite questions that followed did not make Han Naji feel too uncomfortable. The only thing that made him feel a little uneasy was that his close servant Ali Ge was taken alone for questioning, and he only Can talk to four senior officials alone - Wang Chonggu, the governor of Xuanda, Fang Fengshi, the governor of Datong, Huang Mengyu, the eunuch of Datong, and Ma Fang, the chief military officer of Datong.
Fortunately, although these four are all high-ranking officials, unlike Bhannaji's previous worries, they seem to have no hostility towards him. Not to mention the first three officials who look like civil servants in their attire, all of them are smiling. When talking to themselves, they can be described as "like a spring breeze". Even the fierce and powerful Ma Lanxi is only wearing a unicorn today. Fuzi's red official uniform, instead of the fully armed and majestic look that Han Naji had when he glanced at the battlefield from afar.
Flattered, Han Naji even answered the questions a little confusingly, but the four officials didn't seem to care very much. After the routine questioning, the white-faced and beardless official said with a smile that there is an imperial envoy in Datong City. The official "wanted to meet Dacheng Taiji" and politely asked him to come.
I had to leave. I took thirty or forty people into Datong City. No matter how stupid I was, I knew I had to be obedient.
When they arrived at the Daiwang Courtyard, Han Naji felt ashamed as soon as he entered the courtyard - his home in Dabanshengcheng was definitely considered luxurious in Monan, but compared with this place, it was simply a rural residence. s level!
Until this moment, Han Naji didn't know who wanted to see him, but when he thought about it, since he was an imperial envoy, and he had such a big arrogance, even the Datong garrison eunuch could only lead him here as a guide. When he arrived outside the hospital, he unexpectedly He still had to send someone to inform him, and it must be a big shot in the DPRK, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Not long after, a person came out and smiled and bowed his hand to Huang Zhenshou: "Huang Zhenshou, my eldest young master has invited me."
Huang Zhenshou smiled slightly, and even nodded to the servant who was delivering the message, but Han Naji was shocked. He looked at the man in front of him, widened his eyes and asked, "King Cao Tian, why are you here?"
Cao Gan laughed and bowed to him, saying: "Dacheng Taiji, my eldest young master is inside. In front of him, you must not call me 'King Cao Tian', otherwise the eldest young master will blame you. Cao can't afford the punishment - you'd better call me Cao Gan or Shopkeeper Cao."
"Oh..." Han Naji agreed casually and rolled his eyes: "Cao... Shopkeeper, your eldest young master, I remember his surname is Gao?"
Cao Gan said with a smile: "Dacheng Taiji has a good memory. My eldest young master is indeed surnamed Gao, but no servant of mine dares to mention his given name. Right now, he is my Ming Dynasty prince's accompanying and fake bachelor's degree student, and his uncle is me. Chao Ci asked Mr. Gaoge and Mr. Zhongxuan."
For the elders of the Ming Dynasty, foreigners who come to China may even mistakenly think that "the power is almost as powerful as that of the emperor" [Wufeng's note: Matteo Ricci's words. ], of course Han Naji knew the meaning of "cikui", his expression changed, he subconsciously stood up straight and said: "I see, thank you, shopkeeper Cao, for reminding me." After thinking about it, he asked again: "I saw him What etiquette should be used?”
Huh? Among Mongolians, there are not many people who have your level of consciousness!
Huang Mengyu and Huang Zhenshou quickly said: "Taiji's question is good. I was about to explain this to Taiji: Gao Shi is here as an imperial envoy, representing the emperor of tomorrow - Taiji should know that this is What do you mean?"
Han Naji stood in awe and said sternly: "The foreign minister understands. Thank you for reminding me."
