Chapter 323: IOU

Views:

A tiger's light flashed in the emperor's eyes, he glanced at Su Mubai, then at Lin San, with a small smile on his lips, not knowing what he was thinking.

Su Mubai read the books of sages and sages, and he disdained Lin Wanrong's peculiar theories. I am a country of etiquette in China, how can I imitate the people outside the culture to be so mercenary. He was about to argue again, but the emperor waved his hand and said, "You don't have to argue any more, let's stop here. Xu Aiqing, I want you to draft an edict and pass it on to the King of Dongying, ordering him to strictly manage the princes of his subjects. If you dare to insult my subjects of Dahua again, I will hold him accountable."

"My minister obeys the order." Xu Wei hurriedly clasped his fists together.

"Lin San, you are in this golden palace, you are lawless, you beat others, and your crimes are vile. It is your first time to go to court, and you are not familiar with the rules, so I will forgive you once and strip you of your reward. After Huayuan is returned to the imperial court, your contribution in Shandong will also be cancelled, are you convinced?" the emperor said seriously.

"Convinced, convinced." Lin Wanrong said with a chuckle, although the old emperor governed the country so-so, he was not a fool. How could he indulge in the matter of pills and make a mess of Dahua's governance

The emperor's punishment seemed fair, but in fact, his successor Wu Shubai was beaten, and Lin San had nothing to lose. This time, he was obviously partial to Lin San. Su Mubai's face flickered, seeing the emperor's eyes falling on Lin San more and more, his heart became more and more depressed.

After dealing with the matter of Gong Wushu, the emperor was obviously in a good mood, looked at the Korean envoy and said, "Are you the eldest son of King Gaoli, Li Zai?"

Prince Gaoli nodded and saluted, "I am Li Bearer. Bearer is ordered by his father to pay homage to Emperor Dahua and present ten thousand-year-old Korean ginseng. May Emperor Dahua live forever in youth and live forever."

Although the prince of Korea, Lee Bearing, is humble on the surface, his words are eloquent. Goryeo has always been a vassal state of Dahuachen, and the courtiers paid homage to the emperor. So he should kneel down and salute, but Li Zaicheng didn't say salute, instead he called kowtow to pay homage, and put both parties on an equal footing.

Lin Wanrong could hear clearly from the side, what thousand-year-old Korean ginseng, do you have a thousand-year history in Korea? Even better than Lao Tzu. Goryeo’s reluctance to be inferior to others is understandable, but when they are in trouble, they seek shelter from Dahua, and when Dahua is in trouble, they like to stab soft knives in the back. I went back twice. It is impossible for Lin Wanrong to have a good impression of them.

The emperor glanced at Li Cheng, and said lightly: "King Gaoli has a heart. I am healthy and healthy, and I am waiting for him to come to pay homage in person. You go back and tell your father, and wait for him to come to Dahua to see the emperor in person. I will reward him with a hundred pearls and a thousand bolts of silk to keep him safe for the rest of his life."

The deep meaning in these words can be understood by everyone in the field. Goryeo and Dahua are very close, and there is no natural danger to defend. The crusade against Goryeo in the past dynasties has rarely failed. The Goryeo people themselves understand this, so in the Among the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, his mentality is also the most elusive.

Li Zai bowed and said: "Zei will convey His Majesty's will to the father. In addition to paying homage to the Emperor of Dahua when he comes to Dahua, he has two requests to ask, and I hope His Majesty will agree."

Lin Wanrong's heart moved. He heard from Xu Wei that the princes of Dongying and Korea, as well as the Khan of the barbarian, wanted to propose marriage to the princess. Now the successor Wushu of Dongying must have been eliminated. Could it be possible that Li Cheng of Korea wants to take advantage of this situation? A great opportunity to strike first

Just thinking about it in his heart, the emperor opened his mouth and said: "Oh, what are the two things, let's talk about it."

Li Zaicheng responded respectfully, and said to the pretty woman in pink palace gown standing behind her, "Lady Xu, the first thing you need to do is to present it to Your Majesty in person."

"Yes!" Maid Xu lowered her hands, and said respectfully, she was very fluent in Mandarin. She walked to the front of the steps and said softly: "Your Majesty, Emperor Dahua, I would like to ask you for some miscellaneous bibliographies such as medical books, agricultural books, and smelting techniques in the palace. I am in a remote place in Korea, and the people are miserable. I would like to ask His Majesty Borrow these bibliographies to go back and study carefully, and I hope His Majesty will help you."

It turned out that this was the case, everyone felt relieved, even Xu Wei shook his head, this is simply a trivial matter, why is it worth asking the emperor in person

No one else understood the mystery of this matter, only Lin Wanrong frowned slightly as he looked at the pretty maid. Don't be careless about this matter. So many good things were given to Goryeo. If one is not careful, it will bring great troubles to future generations.

The emperor smiled and said, "Oh, what do you want these for?"

Maid Xu smiled slightly, showing her neat and white teeth, and said, "I would like to tell Your Majesty, the daughter of the people admires Dahua's achievements in medicine and agriculture, and wants to use these books to study and cure the disasters for the people of Koryo. And help them have enough food and clothing, and make some contributions to the prosperity of Korea.”

This woman is simple and elegant, fresh and pleasant, generous in conversation, and very good-looking, which made everyone feel good about her. The emperor also had a good impression of her. He smiled and said, "My Dahua Encyclopedia is extensive and profound. What books do you need?"

Lady Xu was already prepared, she raised her fingers and counted one by one: ""Four Books and Five Classics", "Fenghan Fu", "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", "Acupuncture Collection", "Guiguzi Medical Techniques", "Shuijing Zhu", "Tiangong "Kaiwu"... "

She said it without any reluctance, but she knew everything about Dahua civilization like the back of her hand. Counting them one by one, there are as many as one hundred kinds. At the beginning, it was an easy-to-understand subject, but later on, there were a lot of strange books that Lin Wanrong had never heard of. However, seeing the astonished expression on Xu Wei's face, one could tell that the title of the book that the lady Xu said must be extremely out of the ordinary.

When Lady Xu finished speaking, Xu Wei asked, "Girl, where did you get the titles of these books? As far as I know, many of the books you want are isolated copies of the palace. There are many aspects, such as construction, smelting, etc., and they are all the essence accumulated by my Dahua for thousands of years. Seeing the girl's eloquence, I know that you must have dabbled in something."

Lady Xu respectfully said: "I saw these in miscellaneous books. The seniors admired them so much, and the women of the people wrote them down one by one. I thought about when I could go to Dahua to pay my respects, and it was not until today that I finally realized it." fulfilled this wish.”

Xu Wei sighed: "It's really admirable for you to study so hard. To tell you the truth, I have thousands of scholars in Dahua, but if they are like you, they are like you, and they are very few. The research is thorough."

Lady Xu's face was shy for a while, but she was even more lovely. The Emperor Longyan said happily: "It is a great thing that my Dahua Encyclopedia can be passed on to Korea. Medical books, agricultural books, and smelting books are all beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood. It is a big plan, and it can promote the communication between Goryeo and me, Dahua. It is rare for a hard-working person like Lady Xu, I will-"

"Your Majesty!" Lin Wanrong, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly shouted.

Everyone in the hall was immersed in admiration for this lady Xu, but Lin Wanrong's voice was like a burst of spring thunder resounding on the flat ground, shocking everyone's eardrums.

The emperor frowned, and said lightly: "Lin San, what do you have to say?"

Qizuo, what a fart Qizuo, I'm going to be mad at you. The treasures that my Chinese nation has passed down for thousands of years, you see a little girl who was born beautiful, and you just give it to others generously. Do you know how much trouble your "hospitality" will bring to future generations

Everyone looked at Lin Wanrong with unfriendly eyes, we support you when you beat up the second Gong Wushu, but spreading my Dahua culture to Korea is a good thing that is conducive to the exchanges between the two countries, and it is such a naive, lovely and good at studying The girl begged herself, who would not give it to her? Even the old man Xu Wei, who is the most knowledgeable in the world, looked at Lin Wanrong in puzzlement, unable to understand what he was going to say.

Lin Wanrong is isolated at the moment, but if he doesn't do some things, no one can do them. Seeing everyone staring at him fiercely, he said bravely, "Your Majesty, this girl is both knowledgeable and cute, really admirable, but—"

"But what?" Maid Xu looked at him curiously, opened her jade lips lightly, and said with her big beautiful eyes.

Lin Wanrong sighed: "But you have to leave so many things at once, and they are all the elites of my Dahua culture. These are all well-studied.”

Lady Xu nodded and smiled, "Of course I can't finish studying alone, but we still have descendants, and they will definitely continue our mission. My lord, do you have any worries?"

What I am worried about is your future generations. Lin Wanrong clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I have a request. I have given them the essence of civilization in Dahua, and it will benefit the public. This is natural. However, I hope this girl and Prince Li Cheng can do it well." Set up a written document, which clearly states that on a certain day, a certain month and a certain year, what book was borrowed from my Dahua, and what purpose it is used for. In the future, the discipline derived from it must explain its source. For example, Korean medicine originated from Chinese medicine is not original to Goryeo. At the same time, the girl and the prince are invited to indicate that the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Qixi Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival and other festivals and the twenty-four solar terms all originated in Dahua, and other countries are all Copy it and use it, it cannot be used to apply for cultural heritage, and please draw the map of Dahua and Koryo according to the scale, and please sign and draw with both of you—don’t look at me, I can think of it for the time being, that’s all.”

As soon as the voice fell, everyone from the emperor to the guards laughed lightly, and even Xu Wei shook his head. What Lin San said was ridiculous, and it was nothing short of unfounded. I passed on the culture to Korea, so why should I still be blamed by him? It's impossible to grab it.
