Chapter 460 Same Wind
Zhu Biao's gentle and clear voice sounded like the sound of heaven to the Koryo people kneeling on the ground in panic. The tears of the two leading Korean ministers couldn't stop streaming down.
When they came here, they were all vying to get the good job of escorting the princess to marry by relying on the family relationship. They thought that not only would they be able to see the demeanor of the kingdom of heaven, but with this qualification, they would at least be able to be promoted to the third rank after returning to China. Official career is bound to be flat.
I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty to be so busy with official duties. It stands to reason that the Crown Prince should study honestly and understand the truth in the palace?
Why is the crown prince busier than their Goryeo kings, and they don’t go back and forth to the capital. They have been here for more than half a year, and they are urged again and again in the country, and even the king personally wrote a letter to reprimand them for not doing anything.
But the Ming Dynasty kept procrastinating. They were so scared that they were helpless. They were trapped in the capital with nowhere to go. They went to the Ministry of Rites every day without any explanation. Those who were shunned would doubt their lives.
Unexpectedly, there was a turnaround. The Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty informed them to make preparations as soon as possible, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty came to the door in person, so that their hearts finally settled down.
"Foreign ministers and others dare not take credit, please enter the palace, Your Highness."
Zhu Biao nodded and walked towards the inside, only then did everyone in Korea dare to raise their heads, looked at the prince's back carefully and respectfully, and then followed with lowered eyebrows and compassionately.
The woman in red who was kneeling inside the door just now disappeared, and Zhu Biao was not surprised. After all, she is a princess who has not left the cabinet.
Along the way, it can be seen that the facilities in the mansion are quite complete. There are pavilions, terraces and waterside pavilions. The most conspicuous thing is that there is a seesaw-like thing next to the high courtyard wall. Round straw bales are placed in the middle of the long wooden boards to maintain balance at both ends of the boards.
It was the first time for Zhu Biao to see this game in the mansion, but he had heard that the girls in Goryeo liked this game very much. Unlike Daming, they played it sitting down. They played it standing up. The height is extremely high, and its purpose is self-evident, just to see the world outside the high wall.
Goryeo’s national condition is to admire and learn the culture of the Central Plains. Naturally, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was moved by them. It gradually took root in the Korean Peninsula under the promotion of Li Yi and Zheng Mongju, and later became the only official school respected by the Joseon Dynasty. Under such circumstances, Goryeo The status of women and the constraints they are subject to are self-evident.
In fact, before Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was introduced, Goryeo’s ethos was more like that of the Tang Dynasty. Although it was a male-dominated society, women’s status was not low. In Goryeo society, marriage was popular. Engaged men were raised in their wives’ homes since childhood, which is called pre-birth. Son-in-law, within the family, daughters have the same right to inherit property as sons, and women can even be the head of the household.
Marriage at that time was also very free. Men and women wanted each other to be husband and wife. Divorce was common at the same time.
Nowadays, girls from rich families in Goryeo are just like the officials and ladies in Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Biao stepped into the lobby and sat on the main seat. He twisted the jade pendant around his waist with his right hand and looked at the surrounding ornaments with interest. It's someone I don't know, probably it was written by a Korean literati.
Zhu Biao read it softly. They are all poems from the Tang and Song Dynasties. The Chinese characters written on them are very beautiful. At this time, Goryeo has not yet appeared its own characters. Chinese characters have always been the only written characters in the Korean peninsula. The culture is admired by the surrounding ethnic groups in East Asia.
Zhu marked them as if they were from the Joseon Dynasty of the Lee family. Only then did he promulgate the earliest phonetic characters on the Korean peninsula, training the people in Zhengyin, that is, teaching the people to write the pronunciation correctly.
However, due to the absolute advantages of Chinese culture at that time and the far-reaching influence on the Korean peninsula, Hunminjeongeum, a new character, was not promoted in time.
According to historical records, shortly after the promulgation of Hunminzhengyin, some scholar-bureaucrats wrote a letter against them. They believed that Chinese characters are not only the most elegant characters in the world, but also the most commonly used characters in the world. The Hunminzhengyin promulgated denounced it as the pill of the beetle, and hailed the Chinese characters as the fragrance of Suhe.
Speaking of which, South Korea has been brazenly snatching various cultural heritages of China in later generations, which may also be due to this long-term morbid psychology of admiration.
Zhu Biao turned his eyes to the Korean officials standing respectfully under the hall, and he could clearly feel their reverence for him, which was very pure, as if he really regarded him as an extremely noble god.
To be honest, Zhu Biao has never felt this kind of emotion in officials of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also because most of the current officials have followed Lao Zhu all the way from the troubled times, and they know the Zhu family well.
It will take at least a few generations to cultivate the sacred majesty of the royal family, and Goryeo is far away from the Central Plains, and all the news will be distorted there, so for them, Emperor Zhu, who chased death and established Ming Dynasty, is the destiny The supreme being who belongs to the world.
It can be seen that Ming's defeat of the Yuan Dynasty had a great impact on their entire society. This is a good thing. Zhu Biao found that he was a little bit biased. He thought that the difficulty of taking down Goryeo was much higher, but he forgot that they are the most confused now. The last days of the helpless dynasty.
Goryeo has been assimilated deeply. The Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties had a profound influence on it. Especially under the iron whip domestication policy of the Yuan Dynasty, Goryeo was full of yearning and fear for Ming Dynasty, not only limited to the common people, but even the royal family. in this way.
At this time, a cart of gifts arranged by Chang Luohua also entered the warehouse, and Yun Jin represented the crown princess to reward Princess Gaoli, and accepted Princess Gaoli's visit on her behalf.
Zhu Biao chatted with the nervous and excited Korean ministers with a smile. Although their accents were slightly weird, it was nothing. There were many officials with accents in the court, and it was enough that they could understand them.
After all, it was a classmate’s Four Books and Five Classics. At this time, Goryeo said that it could be a small Chinese. It is too similar, just like some remote state capitals under the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty. Although it has its own folk accent, its politics, culture and art are all Very consistent.
Everyone in Goryeo knew everything about Zhu Biao’s inquiries, and they rushed to answer. When they first came, they just wanted to be gilded, and they wanted to have information after returning to China so that the family could arrange them to climb up. climb.
…………
Almost a million words to be honest, writing is becoming more and more difficult. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s the first time I’ve written such a long novel, and it’s a bit difficult to grasp (╯﹏╰)
In order to ensure the quality, we may have to work slowly and meticulously. Daily updates will definitely be maintained, and we will never be eunuchs
I also love to read novels, and I know what it feels like to read books that are slow to update, but I really don’t have enough ability. I really envy the eagle’s hand speed_(`」∠)_
