Chapter 645: Discerning Eyes

The young man was very unlucky, perhaps because he was too flustered, and rushed straight in the direction of Li Yuntian after leaving the courtyard gate, and only after discovering a group of people on the road in front of him did he realize that the shape was not good, and quickly stopped.

"Look where you're going!" At this time, several strong men chasing after him lined up with a smirk, firmly blocking the street, and walked towards the young man while clapping the sticks in their hands.

"I'm a brother of two teams, if you dare to beat me, aren't you afraid of lawsuits?" Seeing that there was an interception in front of him and a chasing soldier in the back, the young man simply put the coat in his hand on his body, turned to the strong men and said.

"Two team brothers? Bah! Hearing this, a strong man in the lead spat on the ground, his face was full of contempt, "I'm so depressed that I eat soft rice, and I'm embarrassed to say that I am a person from two classes, or okay, it's you who is fighting today." ”

"Listen up, fight to the death, this bastard has been eating and mixing here for so long, and he usually makes us angry!" As he spoke, the strong man in the lead raised the stick in his hand and rushed towards the young man with a fierce attitude.

"Murdered!" Seeing this, the young man's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly ran away, and rushed over to meet the soldiers of the Incheon County who were opening the road in front.

"I'm going to surrender, send me to prison!" Several soldiers immediately stopped the young man, and the young man hurriedly patted his chest and shouted, he would rather go to prison than fall into the hands of those strong men.

"This military master, this kid has some personal disputes with our brothel, just leave them to us, and tomorrow the little one will invite the military master to drink." The strong man in the lead immediately rushed over and said to the soldiers with a smile on his face, and it seemed that the two sides seemed to know each other very well.

"According to the decree, you should take me to the county government for interrogation, and you can't hand people over to them in private." Seeing this, the young man's face suddenly turned a little pale, and he hurriedly said to the soldiers.

"Go, go, get out of the way." When a soldier heard this, he pushed the young man aside, and several strong men took the opportunity to press him to the ground, and then picked up his hands and feet and walked towards the courtyard where he had come out earlier, which was a brothel in Incheon Port.

"My lord, there are two teams of brothers below, they are plotting to frame me, please save me, please save me." The young man knew that he would shed his skin if he didn't die in the hands of those strong men, so he hurriedly struggled, and inadvertently saw Li Yuntian and others surrounded by the soldiers of Incheon County, and after seeing the military attache robe on Li Yuntian's body, he was slightly stunned at first, and then shouted at Li Yuntian in Liaodong dialect.

The young man couldn't have imagined that not only Li Yuntian and Lei Ting, but even several of the accompanying guards knew Korean, so Li Yuntian had already known the ins and outs of the matter.

"Ask what's going on?" Li Yuntian naturally wouldn't tell the outside world that he knew Korean, so he said a word to one of the guards who followed behind him.

The guard immediately shouted to the strong men, and stepped forward to negotiate with the strong men in Korean, and it turned out that the arrested young man came to the brothel in a bright body, saying that he was the son of a powerful man in Seoul, and he had been eating and drinking in it for more than a month with his rhetoric, and if it wasn't for the fact that his identity was revealed by a guest from Seoul today, it is estimated that he would still be in the brothel.

According to the guest, the young man was indeed the son of two classes of nobles, but more than ten years ago, his family was in the middle of the road, and now his family is so poor that he is penniless except for the names of the children of the two classes and the bright clothes, and he lives exclusively on pit and abduction in Seoul.

Because the name of Seoul was too stinky, the young man came to Incheon Port to try his luck, and the brothel was unlucky, and it cost at least 20 taels of silver.

"Twenty taels of silver, give them away." After learning about the young man's affairs, Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, but soon Su Zhan came out, nodded to the guard who acted as an interpreter, and walked away.

"We paid his bill, let him go." The guard then took out the money bag, took out a gold ingot weighing five taels from it, threw it to the strong man in the lead, and pointed to the young man who looked at Li Yuntian who was walking by with a shocked face.

Obviously, the young man didn't expect Li Yuntian to save him, and he would also give money to the brothel.

"Thank you, sir." The strong man in the lead took the gold ingot and threw it in his hand, then bit it with his teeth, and bowed to Li Yuntian with a smile.

Then, the leading strong man waved his hand to the strong men who were carrying the limbs of the young man and asked the strong men to let the young man go, and then left happily.

"Wait, that lord just paid my bill, and you want to find my money!" The young man sat on the ground and looked at Li Yuntian's back for a moment, then remembered something, got up, rushed forward to block the way of the leading strong man, and stretched out his hand at him and said.

According to the ratio of gold and silver to huàn in the Kingdom of Joseon, one tael of gold can be exchanged for at least six taels of silver, and the young man has only consumed twenty taels of silver in the past month, and the gold ingots given by the guard are more than five taels at first glance, so the brothel should look for him for ten taels of silver.

The smile on the face of the leading strong man gradually froze, he was thinking about the difference of ten taels of silver just now, but unexpectedly, the young man asked him for money.

"If you don't, I'll tell the envoy!" The young man saw that the face of the strong man in the lead had become ugly, so he stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Yuntian's back and said loudly deliberately.

"Come in with me!" The leading strong man was frightened by the young man's words, glared at him viciously and walked into the brothel, he didn't dare to offend Li Yuntian, otherwise without Li Yuntian's action, the people of the Incheon County Government would be able to kill him.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and triumphantly followed the leading strong man into the brothel, where he could spend the night in the open.

"Xianggong, how did you free that ruffian?" In the cabin of the Mingyang, Lei Ting asked a little puzzled while making the bed for Li Yuntian, she naturally knew that the young man was a scoundrel who cheated on food and drink after what happened just now.

"If a person can be abducted in a brothel for more than a month, I have to say that he has some ability." Li Yuntian came to the window and looked at the crescent moon on the sea, and said with a smile, "In addition, he is the son of two classes of nobles, if he is smart enough, he can also be used by me." ”

"Xianggong, do you want to enable this person?" Lei Ting understood what Li Yuntian meant, and walked to the window and asked in surprise.

"This person is sophisticated and sleek, not only has a good background, but also must not lack the eyes of those two classes of nobles on weekdays, if he is good at training and supporting, he will definitely be able to stir up a storm in Seoul."

The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a pleasant smile, he didn't expect that he would be able to pick up a treasure in Incheon Port, according to his intuition, that young man would definitely not be a good stubble, and the two would definitely meet again.

"Xianggong, I hope he is a thousand-mile horse." Lei Ting couldn't help but nod when she heard this, she really didn't think about it so thoroughly, and now that she thinks about it, that young man must be a good hand in officialdom if she is sleek enough, so she said to Li Yuntian with a smile.

Li Yuntian also laughed, he had high expectations for the young man, hoping that the young man would not disappoint him.

Two days later, Li Yuntian and his entourage set off for Seoul, and there is an allusion to the origin of Seoul.

After the Joseon Dynasty Taizu Yi Sung-gye established the country, he felt that the royal spirit of Goryeo-Kaegyeong was already very weak, so Kwon Zhong-hwa, Chung Do-chuan and others chose the best place, and finally built a new capital in Hanyang, north of the Han River, and built a large number of buildings, including palaces, temples, shrines, two government offices, and roads.

The site chosen by the new capital is surrounded by mountains and waters, with Bukhansan Mountain and Bukakksan Mountain in the north, Naksan Mountain and Yongma Mountain in the east, Inwangsan Mountain in the west, Namsan Mountain and Gwanaksan Mountain south of the Hangang River in the south, and the Hanjiang River surrounds the south of the city from east to west, presenting a good feng shui pattern of the "mountain and water belt" of the Yongsha Water Cave.

In 1394 AD, Yi Sung-gye moved the capital from Kaegyung to Hanyang, and officially named it Hanseong, which was also called "capital" and "Jingcheng" during the Joseon Dynasty.

At noon the next day, Li Yuntian and others arrived five miles outside the outskirts of Seoul, only to see that the road ahead was full of people, including incense pavilions, dragon pavilions, yellow honor guards, drum music, acrobatics, Aoshan, color sheds, etc., and Li Ji, the left councilor, led two classes of nobles from Seoul to greet Zhao De.

Li Yuntian noticed that the musicians who played the music were wearing Korean costumes and mending their heads, while the honor guard was full of crowns, sunflower shirts, and gold nail belts, and the scene was extremely grand.

What is particularly striking is that there are four flags erected in the crowd, which read: All nations compete and dance together, and the two instruments are relatively self-generated. In the Taiping vertical arch of the world, Haidong has nothing to do in the ploughing.

Li Ji came this time not only to kneel to welcome Emperor Xuande's edict, but also to discuss with Zhao De the acceptance of the edict by the king of Joseon.

"Lord Zhao, the king of our country has been ill for a long time and is unable to welcome the emperor's holy decree, please allow your lord to accept the holy decree on behalf of the prince Li Jue." Therefore, Li Ji bowed to Zhao De after kneeling to greet the edict and said in a deep voice.

Li Yuntian, who was standing behind Zhao De, frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously this was an excuse from the king of Joseon, and the purpose was not to kneel down to welcome the holy decree.

"Okay, let Li Jue prepare to receive the order." Since arriving at Incheon Port, the officials of the Korean State have been waiting for the mission carelessly, and Li Yuntian instructed Zhao De that it is not appropriate to make trouble when he goes to the Korean State this time, so Zhao De agreed after a deep sigh.

According to the relevant etiquette system, when the king of Joseon is unable to kneel to receive the holy decree, he can be replaced by the prince as the prince, which is in line with etiquette

"Master Xie." Li Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was really worried that Zhao De would not be accommodating, and the king of Joseon would have to come to kneel to welcome Emperor Xuande's edict.

Subsequently, surrounded by Li Ji and others, Li Yuntian and Zhao De rushed to Seoul.

Outside the city of Seoul, the clan relatives and hundreds of officials have already been waiting there, and they have also prepared incense pavilions, dragon pavilions, yellow honor guards, drum music, acrobatics, etc., kneeling to welcome the edict of Emperor Xuande, and it looks like a very grand scene.

After the salute, Li Yuntian and Zhao De were led into Seoul by Li Ji and went to the palace where the king of Joseon lived.

Compared with the Forbidden City, where Emperor Xuande lived, the imperial palace of the Joseon Dynasty simply became the compound of the rich people in the countryside of Jiangnan, not only covering a limited area, but also the buildings were low, and the layout appeared very stingy.

This situation is of course related to the national strength of the Korean nations, but also related to the system of the Korean kingdom, because the king of Korea was canonized by the Ming Dynasty, so his etiquette system is the same as that of the prince of the Ming Dynasty, naturally can not be built as majestic as the Forbidden City, otherwise it is a violation, and the consequences are usually very strict.

Under the guidance of Li Ji, Li Yuntian and his entourage first went to the southeast of the gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace to watch the performance, and then entered the Qinzheng Palace.

After Li Jue received the edict, he met with Li Yuntian and Zhao De in the palace of Qinzheng Palace, and said that the Korean kingdom would definitely try its best to assist the Ming army in Liaodong to eliminate the rebellious Wuliang Ha Sanwei.
