The prince of North Korea, Li Zhu, arrived at the Longjiang Pier in the Ming Dynasty. Seeing that he was greeted by a simple carriage, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He shouted to Wang Shuo, the person in charge: "Is this the way of hospitality in the Ming Dynasty?"
Li Congmao, who followed, wanted to cover the mouth of this naughty prince. You have forgotten what your father told you. You came to the Ming Dynasty to apologize, not to ask the Ming Dynasty to raise an army to question the crime. Do you understand the situation?
Wang Shuo looked at the young and aggressive Li Bao without any fear. Not to mention that you were the crown prince of North Korea, even if your father Li Fangyuan came, you would still be treated like this!
This is not the palace of North Korea, but the Ming Dynasty!
"Since Prince Wang dislikes the crudeness of this carriage, then he should withdraw the carriage."
When the coachman heard this, he ignored Li Bao and took the carriage away directly.
Li Zhuo saw Wang Shuo like this and immediately laughed: "That's more like it. Pull your best carriage over. By the way, my father said that the emperor of China once rode one during the military parade and it could run by itself. No. If you need a horse-drawn carriage, find it and let me sit in it. I will take it into Jinling City!"
Li Congmao trembled and quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, be careful what you say!"
Li Zhen snorted: "Li Congmao, don't worry. When I see the emperor, I will immediately ask him to hand over Li Yifu. Mr. Wang, why are you still standing there? Go find a car!"
Wang Shuo looked at the ignorant Li Congmao and smiled: "In that case, then Prince Wang will wait here."
Li Zhen looked at Wang Shuo leaving and was very satisfied.
It doesn't matter whether it's Ming Dynasty or Ming Dynasty. He is the crown prince and the future king of North Korea. He can play whatever he wants in this world and no one can stop him.
Follower Gu Zongxiu even fanned the flames: "The Crown Prince is mighty. Only in this way can he show his royal aura and prevent the Ming Dynasty from underestimating the Crown Prince."
Li Wufang also lit the fire: "The Ming Security Bureau actually destroyed our shipping department. The king asked us to come, so he must have blamed Ming. As for the other things, it was just because of Ming's face that it was hard to say. In my opinion, the prince We should preach hard and preach to the people of Ming Dynasty to make them restrain themselves.”
Li Congmao closed his eyes, turned around and walked towards the Yangtze River.
I do not want to live.
Following such a dandy prince to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, according to Zhu Yunwen's temperament, not to mention that the previous misunderstandings cannot be solved, and if there are no new misunderstandings, it will be regarded as Amitabha!
"Oh, no, General Li Congmao fell into the water."
Li Wufang heard the movement and shouted quickly.
Fortunately, there was an emergency rescue team at the Ming Dynasty dock, and Li Congmao was fished out. If it had been placed at a North Korean dock, it would have been necessary to wait for Li Congmao to float up on his own.
Li Zhen did not forget to blame Li Congmao. He was so old, but he could still walk on such a spacious ground in broad daylight.
Li Congmao hates Li Fangyuan a little bit. How many sons do you have? If you have to send Li Xiaosi, why don't you send Li Xiaowu? It's not enough that the first three died in infancy, so you're just going to be happy by folding another one, right?
You don’t know what your own son is like. Li Zhuo is “arrogant, ignorant, brainless, lustful, show-loving, and ignorant of knowledge.” Even though he is only sixteen years old and has only been married for two years, he already has a lot of women. .
As soon as the secretary is getting ready for class, Li Bao will definitely get sick, either with a stomach ache or a brain ache. Just go find him. He is eating chicken wings with a group of women.
You said that if you send this kind of person to Daming to apologize, can you really apologize?
Li Fangyuan also suffered a miserable life: I don't send the crown prince, I send Li Xiaowu. If the Ming Emperor can spare us, he won't be even more angry...
Longjiang Wharf, the civilian wharf is very busy, but the official wharf seems much cooler.
Li Bao waited and waited. Seeing that an hour had passed and there was still no sign of the director of the hall, he couldn't help but send someone to ask the director of the dock. The director of the dock smiled and replied, "It's not my job. I don't know." What did he mean? Yes, just keep waiting.
Just wait.
Two hours passed and Wang Shuo still didn't come back.
Li Congmao knew clearly that this was a lesson that Ming Dynasty was giving this ignorant prince to restrain himself.
But what happened in Li Bao's heart was that Ming Dynasty was neglecting me, the heir apparent!
I'm so hungry that I just can't wait for anyone to come.
Li Bao was not willing to go hungry, so he ordered Gu Zongxiu and Li Wufang to prepare some food, and he would wait at the pier. If Ming Dynasty did not invite him to come, it would be a waste.
Liu Changge reported the news to Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen also laughed angrily at Li Zhuo's actions: "Li Fangyuan especially dare not be so presumptuous. How dare he, a prince? Ha, let him live at the dock. If he doesn't come to the capital on his own initiative, Don’t pick anyone up! Besides, the dock is not qualified to receive envoys, so don’t prepare meals for them.”
Liu Changge understood.
Gu Zongxiu searched for a long time but couldn't find anything to eat. He didn't dare to go too far from the dock, so he had to tell Li Bao. Li Zhen maintained his arrogance and did not retreat at all, so he kept waiting until evening, but he did not see the Ming officials to greet him. Only then did he realize that Ming Dynasty did not take him seriously at all.
Li Bao was wrong about this. The Ming Dynasty still took him seriously. At least if he starved to death at the dock, the Ming Dynasty would definitely collect his body.
Li Congmao told Li Zhen who was waiting hard: "The prince was invited to ask the sergeant to pass the message on his behalf, apologized to the officials of the Huitong Pavilion, and expressed his willingness to take the previous carriage to the capital to meet the emperor of China."
Li Bao immediately became furious and scolded Li Congmao: "You villain, I am the heir apparent!"
Li Congmao looked sad.
Li Zhen was only sixteen years old, and he was a rebellious adolescent in later generations. He wanted face and dignity, and he had a noble status. He was pampered by Li Fangyuan and the queen, and he was afraid that he would die young again. He never knew how to bow his head and admit his mistakes. It would be no different for him to admit his mistakes now. To offend him.
Li Congmao saw that Li Zhen couldn't listen, so he sat down cross-legged and entered meditation.
It's your uncle's fault, you can give it as much as you like, and let's see who goes hungry!
Ming Dynasty was very cruel. He said he would not send food, but he did not send a grain of rice and no water.
Liu Changge was watching from a distance, humming an unknown tune. The Security Bureau didn't mind Li Zhuo's behavior at all. Even if he died of hunger and thirst, he was asking for it.
If he wanted to take the emperor's car into the city, just this sentence would be enough to kill him. If it weren't for his young age, arrogance and ignorance, he would have been thrown into the Yangtze River long ago.
Is the status of a prince really remarkable?
It’s not like Li Fangyuan only has a son like you, and it’s not like he can’t give birth to a son. How dare he challenge Daming if you die?
It turns out that belly is more important than face.
Li Bao was hungry until late at night and couldn't stand it anymore. He asked Gu Zongxiu and Li Wufang for help, but these two guys only knew how to eat, drink, whore and gamble, and had no idea about the situation in front of them.
There was no way, although Li Bao brought many gifts to apologize, but these gifts were not edible. In order not to starve to death, Li Bao finally used Li Congmao's strategy and whispered softly.
Being soft does work, but the time to be soft is wrong. The officials of the Huitong Pavilion refused to pick him up on the grounds that the time was wrong, it was unethical to receive him at night, and he was neglecting the envoys, and asked someone to come early tomorrow morning.
In this way, Li Bao and a group of people slept at the dock for a night.
There is no other way. The ship belongs to the Ming Dynasty. If you want to board the ship, you must have official credentials. Please forgive me.
Early the next morning.
Wang Shuo came slowly. It was the same broken carriage as yesterday, he was alone, and he had the same smile: "Prince of the Joseon Dynasty, yesterday you asked me to look for the emperor's carriage. Now there are some signs. How about I look for it again? try to find?"
】
Li Zhen wanted to cry. He had never slept on such a hard ground in his whole life!
But if he didn't give in, he might starve to death, so Li Bao had no choice but to give in: "I was rude earlier. The Ming Dynasty entertained me very well. I will go to the capital to pay homage to the Emperor of China."
Wang Shuo hesitated: "But this carriage is really crude..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
"If you really don't think about it, can I ask the emperor to buy the prince a luxurious carriage?"
"No need, no need."
Li Zhen felt really uncomfortable.
Wang Shuo laughed and invited Li Zhen to get on the carriage, and the others who should carry him to salute, and those who should follow behind. After wandering around for an hour, we arrived at the Huitong Hall. Only then were dishes served, which were just four simple dishes and one soup.
Li Bao didn't dare to yell anymore, for fear that if he talked too much, he would lose food.
When Wang Shuo saw that several people had eaten and packed up, he began to teach etiquette: "In order to prevent you from clashing with the emperor, I will teach you etiquette and learn how to kneel. Now face the north and kneel..."
Li Zhuo looked at Wang Shuo with hatred.
This is purely toying with people.
The official positions in North Korea and the Ming Dynasty are basically the same, and many etiquettes are imitated in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. How could you not understand the etiquette of kneeling? It's enough for you to teach the barbarian envoys. Do Korean envoys still need this?
Wang Shuo nodded:
need.
Emperor Ming said you need to know etiquette, then you do.
Li Bao had to kneel because if he didn't kneel down, he would have to go back. If he went back without even handing over his credentials, he would probably be beaten to death by Li Fangyuan.
Wang Shuo asked someone to stand up, and then said: "The movement was a little too fast just now, please slow down a little bit, and do it again..."
"I……"
"Your Majesty, stop talking!"
"Too slow again, come again, kneel down!"
"Relax, how can you be so tight? Relax, start over, kneel!"
Li Zhuo couldn't remember that he had knelt down dozens of times. When he saw Wang Shuo asking him to kneel down again, he immediately became angry: "If the Ming Dynasty humiliates us like this, it won't be afraid that North Korea will send troops to attack!"
Wang Shuo's eyes widened, he turned around and saw Liu Changge, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Commander Liu, Commander Liu, someone here is threatening to send troops to Ming Dynasty!"
Liu Changge strode over and shouted sternly: "The duty of the Security Bureau is to investigate all things that threaten the security of the Ming Dynasty. Since someone threatens the security of the Ming Dynasty, the Security Bureau has taken over this matter! Come on, arrest him!"
The sergeant from the Security Bureau immediately followed and arrested Li Bao without any explanation.
Gu Zongxiu and Li Wufang were panicked.
Li Congmao looked at Liu Changge, stepped forward and shouted: "Commander Liu, he is the crown prince of North Korea!"
Liu Changge was unmoved and ordered people to escort him away: "He is threatening the entire Ming Dynasty! He is the prince, and this threat cannot be underestimated! Li Congmao, I advise you to be smart!"
