Li Zong's movements were very unfamiliar, and it was obvious that he had not done such movements often before.
However, Li Zong still acted very happy and said in a very friendly tone, "It's so cold, and I feel really bad for letting you two greet me here. It's getting a little cold, so please don't get frozen."
"Come here, bring up the gift I prepared!"
As Li Zong spoke, the eunuch behind him brought out the prepared gifts and presented them directly to Sun Chengzong and Wei Chao.
Li Zong said directly, "It's just a small gift. Please don't be disgusted. Please accept it. Inside is a mink fur coat made by the best mink craftsman in North Korea. You can accept it. It will keep you warm."
This time when he came to Ming Dynasty, Li Zong prepared a lot of gifts.
In addition to the gifts for the Ming Dynasty Emperor, more were given to the Ming Dynasty ministers. After all, Li Zong came to the Ming Dynasty this time not only to meet the Ming Dynasty Emperor, but also to discuss something.
Since the Ming Dynasty gained a foothold in Liaodong, the trade between the two sides has been very, very large in recent years. Li Zong didn't know how much money the Ming Dynasty earned from Korea, but he knew it must have been a lot of money.
So Li Zong wanted to sell some things from Korea to the Ming Dynasty, and he had to discuss this matter with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, some people in the court have already pointed out that if the Ming Dynasty continues to make money from Korea, Korea will one day be unable to hold on.
In fact, since the merchants of the Ming Dynasty opened this gate, they have been doing dumping business with great pleasure, selling everything at a very low price.
No matter what the price is in North Korea, I am cheaper than you. Using price to force the export almost destroyed the small peasant economy in North Korea.
North Korea’s self-sufficient model can no longer be sustained. If things continue like this, North Korea feels that it is doomed.
So this time Li Zong came to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to cry poor, and brought so many gifts to give to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and his close ministers, asking them for help.
The gift was delivered, but Wei Chao didn't dare to take it.
He turned to look at Sun Chengzong, and his meaning was very clear. He wanted Sun Chengzong to refuse, and then he would refuse as well.
What Wei Chao did not expect was that Sun Chengzong accepted the gift without any hesitation.
After taking a look at the fine mink fur coat, Sun Chengzong's face lit up with joy. He nodded with satisfaction and said to Li Zong, "What a wonderful item! Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift. I will not refuse it."
In addition to the mink fur coat, there was also a small box next to it, which must have contained gold, silver, jewelry, and the like.
Sun Chengzong didn't even look at it and just asked his men to take it.
Wei Chao felt a little embarrassed and had no choice but to accept the things, thinking about how to explain to the emperor when he returned.
"In that case, Your Majesty, let's go into the city." Sun Chengzong had a smile on his face and his tone was very polite, even more enthusiastic than before.
"Let me go in with you." Li Zong seemed to suddenly become interested and said with a smile: "All the way here, I wanted to find a Ming Dynasty city to visit. But I was anxious to see His Majesty, so I didn't dare to delay, so I never had the chance. Now that I'm here, I have the chance."
"I wonder if you two could accompany me for a walk and introduce me to the scenery of the Ming Dynasty?"
After hearing this, Sun Chengzong's expression did not change at all, but he knew in his heart that the King of Korea did not want to see any city.
What's so interesting about a place like Shanhaiguan? Is it really necessary to see such a majestic pass?
They didn't dare to call me. They just wanted to get close to me and ask me some questions.
After all, this thing has just been given out, so it's best to strike while the iron is hot. If you go back to find the person, the thing has been taken away, and the enthusiasm has cooled down. If you ask them all sorts of questions, what else will they tell you?
"Of course there's no problem." Sun Chengzong said enthusiastically, "As long as the king wants, there's no problem."
The group began to stroll into the city.
At the beginning, there were naturally some polite words. Li Zong praised Shanhaiguan, Sun Chengzong was humble beside him, and Wei Chao was looking for shortcomings and filling them in. Park Zhenghong beside Li Zong also asked questions from time to time, looking studious and inquisitive.
The two sides were chatting enthusiastically.
After crossing two streets, Li Zong finally shifted the topic to the main topic.
"Lord Sun, why are there so many Mongols on the street? They look very respectful." Li Zong asked with some confusion as he looked around, but his tone was very casual.
"It's nothing. We are all here to see Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong said as a matter of course, as if this was a normal situation, without any pride at all.
He seemed to be saying, I'm used to it. There was a hint of annoyance in his tone, as if to say, these people are too annoying.
This attitude surprised Li Zong, and even Park Jung-hong beside Li Zong was a little surprised.
They did see that the Mongols were very polite and had no intention of showing off their power.
This isn't right. Didn't we hear that the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia were constantly at war? And that the Mongols were unruly and unruly?
These Mongols and Huang Taiji were allies, so how did things become like this now?
Although North Korea knew a lot about the Ming Dynasty, there were some things about the Ming Dynasty that they didn't know, and no one told them. In this situation, they were inevitably confused.
