Chapter 457 The King of Korea
Zhu Biao walked back to the East Palace slowly, and Chang Luohua led the maids and eunuchs out to welcome him. He was dressed in a large palace attire of flowing color and dark flowers and brocade, and stood with a smile on his face. : "I'm hungry after wandering around with my father for a long time, let's pass on the meal."
Chang Luohua nodded with a smile, the maids at the side hurried down to make arrangements, and the rest of the people went behind the prince and concubine in a regular manner, surrounded by stars and headed to the main hall.
"My mother came to visit just now, and when she was about to leave, she was called away by the queen mother. I guess they were going to weave together and chat for fun. It's also because of my weight. I seldom go to talk to my mother recently."
Zhu Biao stepped across the threshold in response, and stretched out his hand after standing still. Nuan Yu stepped forward to take off the court robe for him, and Zhu Biao let out a sigh of relief: "Mother's side is busy, sister Yu'er often Entering the palace to talk with him, I guess I asked my mother-in-law to go to Dahege at this moment."
The so-called Hege is the evolution of the Leaf Opera in the Tang Dynasty. It is a card game. The Leaf Opera is similar to the map of promotion. Don't let others see it, and after the leaves are out, they will all be placed on their backs, and the fighters will calculate the unreleased cards from the exposed cards for competition.
According to legend, it first appeared in the Han Dynasty. When Zhu Biao was young, he would play a few hands with his mother. Nowadays, he has no free time, and it is also boring. Anyone will let him. The game is meaningless if it loses its competitive nature. .
After An Ran sat down, he accompanied Chang Luohua and said a few words. In fact, Zhu Biao also thought about playing "Doudi Zhu Mahjong", but it was not necessary after thinking about it. There are rich and noble women playing piano, chess, calligraphy, throwing pots, raising cats and playing flowers and leaves. It's not that there's a lack of things to pass the time, it's just that real freedom is limited.
The rich don’t need it, and the poor can’t afford it. On the contrary, it adds another project to the casino. It’s a joke that the women in the backyard can use mahjong to ease the relationship. How much difference?
Because Zhu Biao came back suddenly, and it was not time for normal lunch, so it took some time for the main dishes to be prepared. The maids first served plates of exquisite pastries and preserved fruits.
After cleaning his hands, Zhu Biao picked up a piece of ingot-shaped jujube cake and ate it, and then took two pieces of crispy yellow dumplings engraved with the words of the saints, which were delicious.
There is something in the stomach and the heart is stable. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of Yunding tea, and immediately felt comfortable. Chang Luohua who was on the side smiled and said: "I advised His Highness to eat more in the morning. I will be hungry after this."
Zhu Biao said helplessly: "I thought that I would go to the Jinshen Hall to accompany my father to review the memorials when I went to court too early. At that time, I would not be hungry if I had some refreshments. After all, the plan could not keep up with the rapid changes."
"By the way, I have to meet Princess Goryeo in a while. You can choose something. It's not easy for an unmarried princess to come to the East Palace to see her."
Chang Luohua supported his stomach and frowned and said: "It's nothing to have more gifts, but even though the wedding date is delayed, there is no saying that His Royal Highness went to see her in person. The younger sisters of the Li family and the Chen family have also waited for so long. How can you ignore the superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower."
Zhu Biao is as good as he is: "I almost forgot, then prepare a copy for the Li family and the Chen family, and you can arrange someone to deliver it."
"Your Highness~"
Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing a few times before holding the teacup and said: "Goryo needs to be appeased. The king of Goryeo has no daughters under his knees. The princess who came here to marry is left by the previous king of Goryeo, that is, King Zhongding. This person is a poor man." , and his father is a strange man."
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "It's also interesting to say that the father of the king is Wang Zhen, King Zhonghui of Gaoli. This man came to the throne twice and was deposed twice. Relatives and relatives, high and low, are all accepted into the harem, more than a few hundred, analyzing the slightest financial profit, doing business on a daily basis, groups of small ones competing for plans, seizing land, land, slaves and maidservants, all belong to Baoxing treasury."
Chang Luohua frowned in disgust when he heard the words, Nuan Yu and the others who were listening on the side also opened their mouths in amazement, they really didn't expect such absurd kings to exist in the world.
Zhu Biao was afraid of scaring them away, and even Emperor Yuanshun once commented on Wang Zhen, "Your Wang Zhen is a man, but he has stripped the people too much. Although it is not enough to eat the dogs of the world with your blood." It can be seen how despised he is.
Chang Luohua said: "With such a grandfather, his daughter is probably not a good person. If she enters the East Palace, it may be inauspicious. The concubine should reject her after asking her mother, and let Goryeo choose another princess to send over."
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "The direct lineage of the royal family of Koryo is thin, so I'm afraid there is no other suitable one, and although the father of this daughter is not a good one, he was criticized during his reign, but compared with the current King of Koryo, in the present Korea's folk reputation is getting better again."
Chang Luohua couldn't help but turned his face and rolled his eyes and said: "When he was in office, he had a bad reputation, so he couldn't be another ridiculous king, right? Both father and son are like this. How can you ask my concubine to believe that this woman can be a good person?" .”
Zhu Biao waved his hands with a smile and said: "That's not the case. King Zhongding came to the throne when he was young, and he was a bit stubborn during his reign. I only heard that he played wildly with his servants all night long, and deliberately spilled ink on the servant's head. On the clothes, when he saw someone walking with a woman, he became jealous. Even the prime minister would be hit by him, and he often beat people to death with iron pillars. By the way, he also used ice and snow water in winter Mixed frozen rice to force others to eat."
Chang Luohua couldn't help but his eyes darkened after hearing this, and he covered his forehead and said: "The concubine's eyes are very dizzy, you can figure it out yourself, don't regret it in the future."
Zhu Biao smiled for a while before saying: "Well, it's just to tease you. No matter how absurd it is, it's a man's business. She is a boudoir girl. How can she be absurd? I heard that her father and grandfather died early. She lived in the Gaoli Palace. It's also extremely unsatisfactory, like a court lady."
Chang Luohua said directly: "I don't believe that you would deliberately pick an ordinary court lady over here."
Zhu Biao smiled and said nothing. In fact, this was Yao Guangxiao's suggestion. Goryeo has clearly entered the end of the dynasty. Anyone who has read history books can clearly feel it.
Consecutive generations of kings have been stupid and brutal, the power of the country has been controlled by the nobles, the livelihood of the people in the country is difficult, and the social conflicts are so sharp that they cannot be reconciled, it seems like a state of destruction.
At this time, the common people or the aristocratic families will resent the current rulers. Looking back at Gu Pan, who was considered a good king, Yao Guangxiao also deliberately passed back the words that are circulated among the upper echelons of Goryeo today.
"Zhongmu and Zhongding are all enthroned by Youchong. De Ning and Concubine Xi regard their mother's respect as their internal affairs, and treacherous ministers and relatives use their affairs externally. Although the two monarchs have the talent of enlightenment, what can they do?
And when he was loyal, the prince of Jiangling was an uncle, won the hearts of the people of the country, and had the help of the upper country. "
