Chapter 383: The Five-Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng of Ying En Gate(1/2)

Chapter 383 Yingenmen, Five Hundred Years Ginseng

In the early morning, when the rooster crows, most people in Seoul have already started to get up. In other words, many people who have been dragged into bed have just fallen asleep. After a busy night, they start to get up and prepare again as the rooster crows.

Several officials from the Ministry of Rites rode on horses along the streets from Gyeongbokgung Palace to the west gate of Seoul, inspecting the red ribbons hanging on the doorways on the streets, and from time to time asked people to put away some inappropriate signboards.

Less than a mile away from Seoul is the western suburbs. A two-column archway with a width of more than five meters stands on the main road. The columns are made of granite, the roof is covered with blue tiles, and the columns are covered with ribbons.

In the center of the archway, facing the northwest direction, there are three golden characters - Ying'en Gate - Ye Ye Shining, and next to it there is a row of small characters 'The Imperial Envoy Jinling Zhu Zhifan's Book'.

At this time, hundreds of people were doing their own things around Ying'en Gate. The soldiers of the Zhongyi Army, together with the households, were using torches to repair the uneven roads.

The pile of torches and pyres that had been burning all night maintained their final dark red color, and the soot was no longer floating, allowing the black clouds in the sky to gradually disperse under the wind.

Several carpenters were assisting the workers in final assembly of the planed workpieces, and a wooden platform was assembled.

Li Cao Banshu Quan Zhichong and Gong Cao Banshu sat on the chairs together, looking at the most important finishing work of the dragon pavilion. The temporary dragon pavilion still looked very crude, which made Quan Zhichong not very satisfied.

"The whole judgment has been reported, the ceremony and drum music have been arranged, and all the musicians have been dressed in clean clothes. They will definitely not insult my reputation as a Goryeo."

As Chen Ye was the only one left in the palace, Li Yan gradually let go of what he said in private.

The Japanese state has been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times. It should have a brotherly relationship with the surrounding vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, live in harmony, be loyal to the Ming vassals, and pay constant tribute. However, it is audacious and ambitious.

"Hmm? Can bear paws be processed in one day? I'll give it a try."

Chen Ye looked at the bear paw in front of him and said that it was good in ancient times. You could eat whatever you wanted. If it were modern times, you wouldn't be able to eat this freely for a while.

"Your Majesty, please take the trouble. Although this ginseng is abundant in the Ming Dynasty, it is indeed not often eaten by people."

"Korean King Lee Joon accepts the order!"

Amidst the heated discussions, Li Zhu's mood became more and more complicated. Compared with the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo, the cultural gap between Goryeo and Jiannu was like that.

"That iron bird just flies high. This one flies so fast. His wings are so strange. Why do they spin like this?"

On the helicopter, Sun Chuanting arranged his first-grade official uniform, stretched out his hand to fix the top of the seven-beam crown, and inspected the jade belt and jade accessories.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Japanese from invading Goryeo again, to eliminate threats around Goryeo's vassal states, and to reduce Goryeo's military expenditure on the Royal Army.

After arriving at the Jingfu Palace, Li Jie held a grand banquet to entertain the Ming Dynasty envoys. During the banquet, Li Jie kept showing goodwill to Chen Ye and others.

"Xiao Wang respectfully invites the angel from the Kingdom of Heaven to come out and leave the plane.

Chen Xinjia and Minister of Rites Gao Yuan went to the Royal Army Headquarters to wait for the arrival of the Royal Army. At the same time, they also wanted to contact the Goryeo courtiers and nobles to roughly select Goryeo courtiers who were committed to the Ming Dynasty.

After entering Seoul, the people lined up on both sides of the streets to greet him in unison. The etiquette and formality of the entire ceremony made Sun Chuanting, Chen Xinjia and the others very satisfied.

"The Imperial Master doesn't seem to like ginseng very much. It doesn't matter. There is also honey and bear paw here, which are also very good."

"I heard that they eat very well. Even ordinary sergeants can eat meat every day."

The topic of discussion made Li Zhu nod secretly with satisfaction. He just wanted to give the courtiers this illusion. After all, he was the only one with a satellite phone. If he didn't create momentum, he would be sorry for himself.

Yellow, green, red and purple are woven into the four-color flower brocade ribbons of clouds and phoenixes, with a green silk net underneath, a jade ribbon ring, and red and purple clothes, which looks very energetic.

The Ming cabinet discussed and decided to support Goryeo's war against the Japanese emperor, and the shogunate formally declared war with the goal of wiping out all Japanese military power.

"I really envy you, your Majesty! You can directly communicate with His Majesty the Angel of Heaven and the Emperor of Heaven. Throughout the ages, I am the only King in Korea who has had this honor."

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

"Well, the generals of the Kingdom of Heaven are so powerful that they should be guarded by them. If you are on guard, you don't need to face the Heavenly Soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven."

"Master Sun, although Korea is a small country with few people, its gratitude to the Ming Dynasty has not changed for hundreds of years, and it is indeed worthy of the Ming Dynasty's support."

"Your Majesty, Shangshanju said that everything has been prepared. Several 500-year-old wild ginseng has been boiled in the pot, and other game has been caught. The black blind man only caught it in the morning."

These 500-year-old ginseng was not easy to eat even during the Ming Dynasty. All the older ginseng was given to Chen Ye by Chongzhen, and when it came time to sell it, neither of them was willing to eat it.

This commotion confused the Goryeo courtiers and gave them a sense of power and power.

"This time our country has a first-class official. He must be very careful about the safety of our country. It's really touching. Our country is still the main force in the war."

"Chen Guoshi, Grand Scholar Sun, Chen Shangshu, Li Shilang, and General Wang.

"They look so strong. Look at each of them, their faces are rosy. They look stronger than our soldiers."

"Their clothes are so beautiful!"

"Check it carefully again. If something goes wrong, your Majesty will not let you go. Neither will I."

Sun Chuanting and Wang Jiayan took a helicopter directly and rushed to Chungju. At this time, the first batch of emergency marching troops of the Royal Army had already arrived at Chungju, which was closer. The Royal Army in the direction of Qingju was only ten kilometers away.

.

After the group got off the plane in order, the music became louder and they slowly walked to the Yingen Gate in C position. Li Zhu and the main Goryeo court officials were also walking towards them. Along the way, Goryeo cultural relics officials shouted in unison.

However, Chongzhen had already agreed to withdraw the Royal Army. After this time, they had defeated the Japanese pirates, had no tigers around them, and had the same equipment as the Ming Dynasty. How could they not make him happy?

"By the way, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven will go to the Japanese Kingdom later, so the camp here is for me. I must give instructions to the soldiers to prevent anyone who dares to resell or confiscate their homes."

"I didn't expect that the Emperor of Shangguo would take such good care of Goryeo. I originally thought that the Emperor of Shangguo would only send 10,000 troops, but he would need five million taels, which is extremely inappropriate.

Allowing rogue bandits to plunder the waters of the Ming Dynasty, using the entire nation to invade the Ming Dynasty's tributary states of Korea and Ryukyu several times, kidnapping the people of Korea and Ryukyu, and interrupting tribute to the Ming Dynasty, was actually the way to independence.

"Oh, Mr. Hu Shu, you are still too impatient. How can you do it in just one night? Besides, you don't know what the angel from the heaven likes. What if there is something wrong with this and you anger the angel from the heaven?"

After the banquet was over, the entire welcome ceremony was also over. Next, Chen Ye stayed at Gyeongbokgung Palace to discuss follow-up matters with Li Yan.

"Chen Guoshi, Xiao Wang would like to ask, I wonder if the imperial edict of this war against the Japanese state is to only disperse the Japanese army?"

Such a country, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or Goryeo, cannot be tolerated, and their armies should all be abolished."

Kudos to this!"

But now it seems that due to the arrangements made by the emperors of the above countries, hundreds of thousands of troops marching to the Japanese mainland will probably cost more than ten million taels.

At the speed of the above-mentioned aircraft, they will arrive in an hour at most, so let Li Cao's people and the monks get ready."

So he also put on the super first-grade official uniform that Chongzhen got for him. In terms of specific shape, it was similar to the prince's uniform.

The carriage was driving on the road, and Li Zhu and Cui Mingji behind were also discussing.

"The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, the edict says!

Forty years ago, Shangguo sent 100,000 troops to support Goryeo in fighting the Japanese. After that attack, Shangguo's vitality was severely damaged. Now it has sent another 100,000 troops, and more people have come. It is understandable that we are asked to contribute military expenses."

"His Majesty the Emperor has a direct conversation with the King. Does this mean that the Emperor fully recognizes the equality between the King and the Emperor?"

"Jun Wencai, don't worry so much. I believe in the magnanimity of the angels from the heaven above. Besides, no matter how prepared we are, we can't have as complete etiquette as the angels from the heaven above. The angels from the heaven above will understand."

After Chen Ye read out the imperial edict, he placed it in the dragon pavilion according to the Korean people's instructions, and then the entire ceremony ended.

"Shangguo's car is so magical. It would be great if Korea also had one. We can go anywhere in Korea at will."

"Your Majesty, Li Zhu, thank you!"

Li Zhu expressed his thanks with excitement and weirdness. He never expected that such a turn would occur. Compared with the aggressiveness of yesterday, the courtiers around him bowed to greet the imperial edict, and at the same time, they were even more grateful to the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Chuanting nodded, looked at Chen Ye who was playing with the jade on his waistband, and asked about the next move.

The two small, noisy dots gradually grew larger, and as they grew larger, a helicopter with a propeller like a bamboo dragonfly appeared in the eyes of Li Zhu and others.

"I accept the order."

Soldiers holding automatic rifles, wearing full black combat uniforms, goggles, black helmets, and an infrared camera on the helmet rushed out to provide warning.

"Not bad, not bad, the taste is very fresh, but the taste of ginseng feels... a little bitter."

In the midst of complicated emotions, a rumbling sound appeared in the sky, attracting everyone's attention.

"Everyone is here! Salute to the chief's special plane!"

Chen Ye picked up a piece of radish with fiber that looked much thicker than a radish. After looking at it, he put it aside. He picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. He chewed it slowly and his eyes lit up.

Li Jie's camp was set up next to the Long Pavilion, and he was sitting and listening to reports from various Cao Cao.

"These are the heavenly soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven. They are indeed elite."

Li Yi bowed again and lowered his head towards Chen Ye, who was holding the imperial edict. All the cultural relics officials of the Koryo Kingdom bowed at the same time, and the Royal Army also saluted in unison.

As the helicopter engine gradually stopped rotating, the propeller sound went out, and the doors of the two helicopters opened at the same time.

Quan Zhichong hurriedly gave instructions to the next level. Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of gongs and drums, and the sound of sheng and Xiao instruments sounded. The rhythm was cheerful and revealed a kind of acceptance.

After the battle, Goryeo did not need the protection of the Ming Dynasty. All Goryeo garrison equipment was left to the Goryeo court, and all Goryeo garrison troops were stationed in Japan...

There are not many people present who can eat hundreds of years of ginseng. It’s not that they can’t afford it, but that it’s too rare.

Ginseng is generally well preserved because of its high medicinal value, not to mention 500-year-old ginseng, which was considered a treasure in ancient times.

The Royal Army hasn't left yet, but Li Zhu has already regarded the military camp outside Seoul as his own. Thinking about the pile of equipment of the Heavenly Soldiers inside, it is definitely not worth taking away many things. Doesn't that give him an advantage?

Well, in Li Zhu's mind, the Jiannu were barbarians, and they were the brothers of the Ming Dynasty, so they looked down on the Jiannu. But now, the Ming Dynasty was too far ahead.

"Well, the Japanese country was very ambitious. It was just across the border from the Ming Dynasty and was influenced by the Ming Dynasty. However, it never thought about peaceful development. Instead, it wanted more land in a narrow-minded way.

"Oh my god! It's so big!"

"Well, please let me know. His Majesty the Emperor personally called me half an hour ago and said that the angels of the Kingdom have already set off.

The original intention of this battle was to support the vassal state, and all military expenses should be fully borne by the Kingdom of Koryo. However, in my opinion, Koryo was a small country, the people were barren, the vassal state was invaded, and the Ming Dynasty was also despised, so the Ming Dynasty should provide support.

The ambitions of their kings and generals cannot be concealed, and their crimes are unforgivable. Their people are ignorant and ignorant, and do not know the greatness of the Celestial Kingdom and China. They do not know that those who offend our Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are.
