Chapter 311: In-depth Cooperation
"Wow!"
A few horses galloped on the West Qin Highway, rushing to the forefront of the Korean Miaoxiang lord Lee Jung-yeon, always let out such exclamations from time to time. And Zhu Cunqi and Qi Meifeng, who were walking side by side behind her, were also deeply shocked by the scene in front of them.
In contrast to other counties that were also devastated by the earthquake, the roads in Jingyang County are not only not cut off, but are smoother than the streets in Xi'an. The pavement is paved with uniform red bricks, and on both sides of the road are wide canals, one of which has been paved with bluestone bricks. The clear water of the canal is like a narrow mirror, in which the clear blue sky and white clouds cast beautiful reflections.
And outside the canal, there is a neat row of poplar saplings. Although it is only the thickness of a forearm and the canopy is sparse, every leaf is green and wet, so you can see that someone must take care of it.
Looking through this row of poplar saplings and into the distance, there is an endless field. Despite the severe drought in winter and spring, and the impact of earthquakes, the crops in the fields survived tenaciously.
At this time, it was close to the mango seed, and the heavy ears of millet were full of golden fruits. A breeze blew, and the scent of Honho was refreshing. The crowd couldn't help but take a few deep breaths on their horses while shouting excitedly.
And the most incredible thing is that at the end of this straight road, a magnificent city magically appears on the horizon. Although it has not yet been completed, the grand volume and majestic city gate cave have already made people appreciate its extraordinary momentum.
"Your Highness, I can't believe it! After only two months of Jeongyeon's departure, a city even more majestic than the Joseon royal capital appeared! Li Zhenyan exclaimed, "And it's not just this city, I have been to Jingyang since I was a child, but my impression is all broken and barren, how have I ever seen such a beautiful countryside!" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen, the chief designer of this great project, couldn't help but be complacent. In his previous life, he was ** silk, and he couldn't believe that he would be killed at that time, and one day, he could actually make the ancient countryside glow with a new look!
But he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Jeong-yeon, as a member of the Joseon royal family, how could you have been here since you were a child?" Also, how did you get to know Cunqi? ”
"Your Highness doesn't know that the struggle within the Joseon royal family is extremely fierce and sometimes even cruel." Li Zhenyan's mood immediately darkened, "My father came to China as an envoy more than ten years ago in order to avoid this kind of struggle, and stayed for a long time. Zhen Yan was born during this time, and traveled with her father to many cities in China, including more than two years in Xi'an alone. ”
Zhu Cunqi said with a smile: "The two of us met at that time. At that time, Ling Zun visited his father and brought you with him. At that time, we were only four or five years old, and we were not sensible, and we used to fight for fruit! At that time, you didn't know martial arts, and I beat you to tears! ”
Li Zhenyan also recalled this unforgettable childhood, and said with a smile: "Yes, I and the county lord don't know each other!" Since then, we've been in constant contact. Even when Jeongyeon later returned to North Korea, we kept in touch by letter. ”
"In this way, Zhenyan is also half Chinese!" Zhu Youzhen said half-jokingly.
Li Zhenyan said seriously: "Yes, although Zhenyan is a Fanbang woman, she has admired Chinese culture since she was a child, and she has a good friend like the county lord. So no matter what, Zhenyan will definitely not approve of her brother going to form an alliance with the Jurchens and turn around to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. ”
After a pause, she looked at the surrounding scenery with infinite emotion and said, "I really hope that one day my hometown can be as beautiful and full of life as here!" But since Toyotomi Hideyoshi entered the army in a big way, the three thousand miles of Korea have been devastated, and Wang Jing has been destroyed in the war several times, and there is no longer the prosperous scene of the past. Now that the Jurchens have repeatedly violated the border, I don't know what year and month, the Korean people can be like the people of Jingyang, without worrying about the burning, killing and looting of foreign races, and exchange the joy of harvest with hard sweat! ”
Zhu Youzhen also said with emotion: "Zhenyan, China and the DPRK are neighbors with a strip of water, so they should respond with the same voice and seek each other with the same breath." The Jurchens and the Japanese are our common enemies, and only by sharing the same hatred can we defeat a strong enemy. Now Daming's life is also very difficult, and Jingyang is just a special case. As long as the eunuchs still control the government, I am afraid that the Jurchens will continue to wreak havoc, and the beautiful scenery in front of them is still in danger of being destroyed! ”
"Your Highness, Zhenyan has been taught!" Li Zhenyan said earnestly, "But the situation is like this, does Your Highness have a good way to save the country?" ”
Zhu Youzhen pondered for a moment, and said carefully: "There's no need to hide it from you, I, Zhu Youzhen, have already made up my mind to bring down Wei Zhongxian, a national thief, and revive the dynasty!" But my strength is still very weak now, and if I have an immediate showdown with Wei Zhongxian, it will be tantamount to self-destruction. So I urgently need to strengthen myself now! If I can, I would like to have a deeper cooperation with Jeong-yeon, which is of course beneficial to both of us! ”
"Your Highness, it's wonderful!" Li Zhenyan shouted happily, "Zhenyan has this intention, but I'm afraid it's too abrupt!" In fact, our Korean country is small and weak, and in any case, it is not an opponent of the Jurchens and the Japanese Invaders. If His Highness can overthrow Wei Zhongxian, revive Tianwei, and exterminate the Jurchens and the Japanese Emperors, all our Korean subjects will be grateful for His Highness's great kindness! It's just..."
"Just what?" Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "Zhenyan doesn't have to worry about anything, now what you and I are discussing can be said to be a major event between countries." If you have any ideas, be sure to put them on the table. When these issues are addressed, our cooperation will be smoother and longer-lasting. ”
Li Zhenyan was encouraged, so she said tentatively: "Your Highness, although my brother is not very respectful to Da Ming, he is my own brother after all. Zhenyan will try her best to persuade him not to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, but if he is stubborn and still has to fall to the Jurchens, of course Zhenyan will not help him, but I hope that Your Highness, you can also open up to your brother. ”
Zhu Youzhen pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "You can't blame your brother for this, if it weren't for Wei Zhongxian pushing him out, your brother wouldn't necessarily fall to the Jurchens." Don't worry, as long as North Korea doesn't directly send troops to fight against the Ming Dynasty, I won't blame your brother. Once the Jurchens are defeated, as long as your brother pleads guilty to the court, I think Banzai is magnanimous and will not blame, and maybe your brother will be officially canonized as king. ”
In fact, this is what Lee Jung-yeon wants. When she heard this, she immediately rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, bowed down in front of Zhu Youzhen's horse, and said with tears of joy: "Your Highness's great grace, no teeth are unforgettable!" ”
Zhu Youzhen hurriedly jumped off the horse, picked up Li Zhenyan and said, "This is a mutually beneficial thing!" Okay, let's go into the city right away and discuss the big plan! ”
ps: Today's friend's new store opened, the little brother went to congratulate, delayed the code word, so there are only three more, let it be made up later, I hope you readers will greatly understand!
