Everyone's speculation did not last long, and soon with the arrival of the motorcade, the answer was announced in front of them.
"Lord Chen Lin, you came from afar and failed to go out of the city to greet me. It's really rude and neglectful!" From a distance, just when the motorcade stopped fifty meters away from the city gate, Han An used his deep inner strength to move towards the owner of the motorcade. greeting.
"No, I am flattered that the general can come to greet me!" The person who spoke was the person in charge of this convoy, who is now the Minister of Rites of the Imperial Kingdom and the famous Chen Lin in the world of the Three Kingdoms.
Chen Lin is famous throughout the Three Kingdoms for her outstanding literary talent and outstanding eloquence, and her name will remain in history. He once had a very classic allusion, that is, during the Battle of Guandu, there was a convention at that time. That is, when two armies are fighting, they will often publish a proclamation to declare the justice of their own side and the evil of the enemy. It is also a sign of the beginning of the war.
And Chen Lin wrote such an appeal. The literary talent is quite good, and it can be said that every word is exquisite and sobering. It is said that when Cao Cao saw this memorandum, he was suffering from a headache. He was frightened by the content of the memorandum on the spot, and his headache was cured even without medicine.
This shows how outstanding his literary talent and eloquence are!
Now, because of his literary talents and eloquence, he has been promoted to the Ministry of Rites as a minister. This is a fourth-rank official. In the entire imperial country, he can be regarded as entering the top city in the central government.
Now, it is because of his characteristics that he has been entrusted with important tasks. He went on a mission to Korea to marry King Han's daughter, Princess Honglian, and welcomed her to the kingdom as his emperor's first concubine, that is, the first woman.
This is an incredible honor.
The entire imperial kingdom, from the civil and military officials to the local people, are all worried about the heirs of their emperor. Now His Majesty the Emperor finally changed his mind and began to get close to women and wanted to have concubines.
If such an important change were completed by Chen Lin, then he would definitely be promoted to a higher rank for his merits, and would leave a strong mark in the history of the entire Yu Kingdom.
I am afraid that no matter how great their achievements are, those generals who have made great achievements in fighting the country and the ministers who have managed the country well cannot compare to him, the envoy who facilitated the emperor's marriage.
After all, the succession of descendants is related to the continuity and stability of a country. It is the foundation of a country and cannot be ignored.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin, who was being polite to Han An, couldn't help but look even more happy, and Han An felt strange about her unstoppable smile.
The convoy soon left the city gate and was welcomed by Han An to the state guesthouse where the envoys were received, where they rested.
In fact, King Han had not heard any news about Chen Lin's mission before, and the purpose of the mission was not very clear.
However, the scale of this incident and the grandness of the etiquette made King Han feel suspicious.
Among the hundreds of previous exchanges between South Korea and the Imperial Kingdom, the scale was only as large as when they visited South Korea in the past when something happened. Apart from that, I have never seen it again.
Therefore, although this time, King Han did not know what the purpose of the envoy was, he still cautiously sent his confidant, Han An, who was called his shadow by others, to greet him. This was considered as giving him enough face and courtesy. , no one else can find anything wrong with it.
As for having King Han personally welcome him, that's a joke. When we welcomed Prince Jing before, it was natural that both of them had the same status as kings. But to welcome an envoy would be to lose one's status, not only to lose one's own face, but also to lose the face of South Korea.
…
The next day, the Korean Government Hall.
Today, South Korea's civil and military officials were surprisingly well prepared in time, and no one was absent. Usually there are so many people here, but this time it was not an annual meeting or a meeting about the rise and fall of Korea's destiny.
But now, it was neither an important day nor a time of war, so all these courtiers were gathered together, which was really strange.
There was no other purpose for their coming. There was only one real reason, and that was Chen Lin, the envoy of the Imperial Kingdom.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han, on behalf of His Majesty the Founding Emperor, I would like to send my greetings to you!" Chen Lin was full of confidence and had a kind smile on her face. She was dressed in the attire of a high-ranking official of the Imperial Kingdom, which gave him a sense of elegance.
The surrounding Korean officials frequently glanced sideways at the extremely young envoy in front of them, who was no more than thirty years old. He was handsome, gentle, and full of scholarly aura. He is so graceful and graceful, I can't help but feel sad secretly.
Apart from anything else, they didn't know the talent of the person in front of them, but this appearance alone was enough to put many people in the court to shame.
"As expected of someone from a big country, his magnanimity is truly extraordinary!" This was the inner thought of many South Korean officials present.
King Han was also impressed by Chen Lin's temperament and was stunned for a moment. But after all, he is a king. He has met many people, and it is not that he has never seen a person like Chen Lin. He quickly came to his senses: "The envoy also sends greetings to the lord of your country on behalf of the lonely king!"
"I wonder what the envoy is here for?" King Han said his greetings and quickly continued to ask.
Not only the ministers were curious about this trip to South Korea, but the King of Han was also very curious.
In fact, people like King Han had many guesses in their minds, but they were difficult to confirm, and many of them were rejected by themselves.
After much guessing, there is only one guess that is more reliable, that is, this mission should be an announcement of actions against the alliance's goals!
But if you just declare a goal, a small mission of dozens of people will be enough. How can you use such a large convoy of thousands of people, which is almost as big as an army, and they are all elites composed of some martial arts masters? Army.
Therefore, the King of Han and even the whole country were puzzled.
"Your Highness, the foreign minister has no other purpose in coming here this time. He only wants one thing, which is to benefit our two countries, South Korea and the Royal Family, and make the exchanges between our two countries deeper and closer!"
Standing in the center of the hall, Chen Lin couldn't wait to ask after hearing the shout. A smile appeared on her face and she replied loudly.
"The communication has become deeper and closer. What is it about? Messenger, don't be shy and tell me quickly!" King Han chewed softly and couldn't guess what was going on, so he asked hurriedly.
"My Majesty, the Imperial Emperor, has reached the age of 30, but there is no concubine in the harem and it has been empty for a long time! This must be said to be a great regret for our Imperial Kingdom. I have no choice but to pursue the way of refining qi, seek immortality, and not be close to women. , leaving us in a difficult situation but with no choice! But for mercy’s sake, now, under the persuasion of the ministers, your majesty finally agreed to accept concubines, fill them into the harem, raise children, and inherit the country. After some selection, everyone in our royal country unanimously believes that the royal family of the Han Dynasty is the most important one. Among them, one of them can be the imperial concubine!" Chen Lin's face was full of excitement, and she spoke a long paragraph in one breath, which seemed to relieve the sorrow in his heart.
"Oh, it's unbelievable that this happened!" King Han's eyes flashed, and he said thoughtfully.
