Song Xiang's work was finished, but Zhang Yu's was just beginning. Compared to the harem, there were many more rules and regulations here.
The wine and food were served in the palace, and the banquet officially began.
Zhang Yu sat behind the old Prince Fu, whose hands were hanging down, with no expression on his face.
On the contrary, the old Prince Fu was smiling at this time, and seemed to enjoy it quite a lot.
For the old Prince Fu, he really didn't expect to have such an opportunity in his life.
When leaving Henan, Prince Fu thought he might be imprisoned. But after arriving in Beijing, he did not receive such treatment. Instead, no one restricted his behavior and he could do whatever he wanted. Even eating, drinking and having fun in Beijing were not restricted.
Although the people below felt that they had been deposed and the throne had been taken away from them and handed over to their sons, they still respected him very much. After all, their bloodline was there.
I didn't expect that such an opportunity would fall upon me during this mission to North Korea. Regardless of what the future holds, it's good to be able to go out and have a look.
Moreover, when he arrived in Korea, he would probably be able to become the emperor. This made Prince Fu very satisfied.
As he expected, North Korea treated him like a distinguished guest.
Old Prince Fu was in a good mood, thinking about how to enjoy life next.
On the contrary, Zhang Yu, who was sitting on the side, was not in such a good mood. He glanced at the King of Korea and the Korean ministers who were accompanying him, and felt a little hesitant.
Although these people had bright smiles and spoke politely, their expressions were hard to understand. They seemed to be frustrated and helpless, and at the same time, there was a hint of viciousness.
Very weird.
You know, there was no such feeling before, they were originally very enthusiastic.
This slight feeling of alienation made Zhang Yu hesitate, but he soon understood.
As a smart person, Zhang Yu must have the ability to infer cause and effect.
When he arrived, the King of Korea and his men were not like this, but were very enthusiastic. Now that they have suddenly changed their attitude, it can only prove one thing: there is something fishy going on.
Between his arrival and now, something happened that these people found difficult to accept.
What did Zhang Yu do after arriving in Korea?
Nothing has been done, he hasn't started anything yet, it's all been a plan. This is the reality.
The only thing Zhang Yu did was to let Song Xiang go to see Queen Inmok and treat her illness.
It is estimated that this incident caused dissatisfaction among the Korean monarch and his ministers.
It seems that the differences between the two sides are extremely large, or rather, these monarchs and ministers took advantage of Queen Inmok's illness and poor health in the past few years to do a lot of things, and these things may have made Queen Inmok very dissatisfied.
Therefore, the Joseon king and his ministers only hoped that Queen Inmok would die quickly rather than get better.
This was the root of his attitude towards himself. Thinking about it this way, Zhang Yu understood and then smiled.
The things that make you unhappy and dislike are exactly the things that I am happy and like to do.
Of course, Zhang Yu also understood that if he weren't an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, he wouldn't be treated this way. Forget about jumping around and stirring up trouble. Just showing such thoughts would probably mean he'd be gone.
Picking up the wine glass, Zhang Yu took a sip calmly and nodded with satisfaction.
This is the finest Ming Dynasty wine.
It seems that the King of Korea has really put some thought into it, but I don’t know if he will say anything to us later.
Sitting on the chair, King Lee Jong-hwa of Korea looked very unhappy.
He may not have expected things to develop to this point.
The arrival of the Ming Dynasty was expected, and his son's departure was not unacceptable. After all, if his son stayed in the Ming Dynasty for a few years, he might gain more support from the Ming Dynasty, which would be beneficial for his future succession to the throne. Moreover, now that his son was gone, there were fewer conflicts between father and son, which could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
However, with the arrival of the Ming Dynasty envoys, what happened next was not what he wanted to see.
People from the Ming Dynasty actually went to see Queen Inmok and wanted to treat her?
Li Zong knew his grandmother very well. If she really recovered, who knows what kind of changes would occur?
Those officials who had supported Grandma in launching the coup had been suppressed and ignored by Grandma over the years. They had also gone to Grandma, but Grandma was in poor health and was unable to help.
If grandma was in good health, they wouldn't necessarily do anything. The most important thing is grandma's thoughts. In the past few years, although Li Zong respected her on the surface, he also caused trouble in private.
Li Zong glanced at the Ming Dynasty with a complicated expression, feeling somewhat helpless. Who knew what the final outcome would be?
If the Ming Dynasty can't take care of grandma, then it's good for you, it's good for me, and everyone can live in peace.
If not, then I'm afraid it's another matter to discuss.
This banquet could have been avoided. After all, both parties came to discuss business, and the banquet could only be held after the business was discussed.
But King Lee Jong-sung of Joseon did not want to discuss matters. He wanted to delay the matter. He did not want to do anything until he received news from Queen Inmok.
After understanding the other party's thoughts, Zhang Yu stopped thinking about anything else and began to eat and drink peacefully while watching the Korean palace maids dance.
It must be said that these palace maids danced very well. From this aspect, it can be seen that the King of Korea enjoyed himself more than the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
It was hard to say what kind of person the Ming Emperor he served was. However, Zhang Yu knew that he was an emperor who was determined to become the greatest emperor of all time.
