Today, dozens of North Korean monarchs and ministers are still crowded in Kuandian Fort, while Ambassador Yin Zheng can live in a two-story courtyard in the Huitong Hall.
It's just that as time goes by, the money in the bag is not enough, and consumption in the capital is not cheap.
Although the Ming Dynasty was responsible for food and housing, regardless of entertainment, many other expenses still had to be paid out of pocket. For example, the Huitong Hall is very close to Jiaofangsi Hutong.
Moreover, Ambassador Yin Zheng also imitated Ming court officials and took a concubine from a local family in the capital, which also cost money.
At this time, Yin Zhuoran was sighing, and suddenly the ambassador came to inform him that Zhao Nanxing, the head of the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Etiquette, had come to visit.
This didn't surprise Ambassador Yin Zheng. After all, the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Rites was responsible for dealing with envoys like him.
Director Zhao and him have also met frequently recently, so they are very familiar with each other.
I just don’t know what else is going on today. Is it possible that the food treatment should be improved?
After meeting with Ambassador Yin Zheng, Chief Zhao asked, "Have you read the latest Hamhung Prefecture battle report?"
Yin Zhuoran replied respectfully: "I just saw it and was about to write a letter to express my gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor."
Director Zhao added: "The palace of the great ancestor of your country in Xianxing Prefecture was burned down. Don't you have any grief and indignation?"
Yin Zhuoran couldn't help but think of a new sentence he learned in the Ming Dynasty - the emperor is not anxious and the eunuch is.
To be honest, if the strength is not enough, what is the use of sadness and anger? It is better to pretend not to see it, so as not to bring trouble to yourself.
Director Zhao reminded again: "It is clearly written in the battle report that it was the manager Lin Tailai who was negligent and sat back and watched the palace of the Taizu of your country be burned down.
As a minister and special envoy of North Korea, you should express your opinion on this, right? Many of our comrades will speak out for your country's experience.
If you don’t speak up yourself, who else in the court will speak up for you?”
As the saying goes, one knows the elegant meaning after hearing a string song. Yin Zhengshi understood it immediately and wanted to use him as a spearman.
But he still asked: "With such a thing, it is impossible to defeat the Nine Yuan True Immortal, right?"
After two missions to the Ming Dynasty, and staying here for half a year this time, Yin Zhuoran already had a certain understanding of the layout of the Ming Dynasty court.
Director Zhao said vaguely: "I have no hope of overthrowing the Nine Yuan True Immortal, but I have other plans."
All fools know that this matter cannot sway Lin Tailai. They just want to use it as a robber to force Lin's party to give in.
As for the size of the robbery, it depends on how loud Yin Zhuoran, the imperial envoy, cries.
Yin Zheng can't help but cry, and it's hard for others to stand up and help speak out and expand public opinion.
Yin Zhuoran sighed deeply and said: "You should know that Jiuyuan True Immortal killed two envoys of our country in Jiulian City!"
If you dare to use Lin Tailai's battle report as an issue, you are also an envoy. Is this life enough to compensate?
Director Zhao patiently advised: "Don't worry, Sir, Lin Tailai can't do anything to you.
He was able to kill envoys before, firstly because he held the Shangfang Sword and the King's Order Flag in his hands; secondly because the commander-in-chief was outside and had a certain degree of autonomy.
When he returns to the capital, he wants to return Shang Fangjian and Wang Ming Banner. How can it be detrimental to you?"
Even Director Zhao himself didn't quite believe this, but he still tried his best to deceive the other party.
"By the time Lin Tailai returns to the capital, I'm afraid you will have already returned home!" Director Zhao added another sentence of relief.
Yin Zhuoran fingered the battle report and said hesitantly: "Nine Yuan True Immortal is the minister of the Celestial Dynasty that I am most familiar with. Now he is fighting for the restoration of the country. He is a great benefactor of our country. How can I slander him casually?"
Director Zhao emphasized: "He did sit back and watch the palace of your country's great ancestor be burned down. This is not slander."
Yin Zhengshi said directly, "What I mean is, we need to pay more."
Director Zhao took out a few silver bills from his sleeves and put them on the table calmly.
Yin Zhengshi picked up the money order and carefully kept it.
