() Thanks again to book friend znpmmm for the reward and evaluation vote again, thank you!

While talking, several people kowtowed twice, then stood up, and without waiting for Li Jianguo to speak, an envoy brought a jade box, presented it to Li Jianguo, and said, "This is the Korean ginseng that I respect to Lord Angel. Please accept it, Lord Angel."

The Si Qing on the side pouted, what kind of broken ginseng, just your ginseng, even I don't like it, can it make Lord Jin Yiwei happy?

Sure enough, Li Jianguo opened the jade box and took a look. Seeing that the ginseng was only as thick as a fingertip, he didn't take it seriously. You wait, Minister of Honglu Temple, you go out and guard the door, and no one is allowed to eavesdrop."

The Minister of Honglu Temple went out to guard the gate with a smile, and he dared not disobey Li Kaiguo's order. If he accidentally offended Jin Yiwei, they would mark him down, and he would not be guilty of any crime.

Li Jianguo looked at the inexplicable group of North Korean envoys, suddenly slammed the table, and shouted: "Bold vassal state, dare to negotiate peace with the Tartars, form an alliance of brothers, and go to my Da Mingian, you are Don't you want to rebel?"

The North Korean envoys were all terrified, they knelt down together, and shouted repeatedly: "You are wronged, Lord Angel, we waited for Xiaobang to have no other choice, and we did not sincerely form an alliance with the Tartars. This time, it is our lord's faction who came here. We will offer ten tribute women to those who come to plead guilty, to show the sincerity of our little country."

Li Jianguo hummed and said, "Really?"

The court envoy raised his head, his face was already full of tears, and he cried: "Da Ming is Xiaobang's parents. Leaving his parents made Xiaobang heartbroken. Day and night, he misses returning to his parents. At this time, he wants to come back, and please return to his parents." Don't blame it." As he spoke, he threw his hands on the ground with trembling hands, and cried bitterly on the ground.

The rest of the subordinates were all runny, and even the last veiled woman was soaked through the veil.Li Jianguo stared at them for a long while before confirming that what the North Korean envoys said was not a lie.Am I wrong?Li Jianguo thought a little depressed.

He originally thought that these North Korean envoys were sent by the Tartars to spy on the Ming Dynasty, but now it seems that this is not the case. Could it be that the Korean King really still has his heart for Ming Dynasty.

In fact, it is true at all. Since the seventh year of the apocalypse, Hou Jin attacked North Korea, and North Korea was forced to sign a "brother alliance" with Hou Jin. It's a pity that at this time, the civil strife in Ming Dynasty had already occurred, and he was too busy to take care of himself, so he had spare energy to help North Korea.

Therefore, all along, the imperial court's policy should be slowed down, not rushed.Therefore, until the sixth year of Chongzhen, Li Zong secretly sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty several times, but there was no response. Even this team of envoys had lived in Honglu Temple for nearly a year.Although they didn't have to worry about food and drink, the group of envoys were quite anxious if they couldn't fulfill the mission of the lord.

The arrival of Li Jianguo at this time immediately gave them hope. At this time, the long wait finally turned into tears, which continued to flow for a long time.

Li Jianguo discovered for the first time that men can cry so much. A dozen big men cried for a full meal before wiping away their tears with their sleeves, and said: "Let the angel laugh, Xiaobang hasn't heard the voice of his parents for a long time." , Lord Angel, please forgive me for being rude.”

Li Jianguo thought about it carefully while they were crying, then shook his head and said: "I don't blame you, I came here because of a secret decree, and I came to see you in secret. If you have Whatever request you make, just tell the official, and the official will truthfully report back to the Holy Majesty."

The North Korean envoy was overjoyed, and quickly said: "Yes, yes, Xiaobang didn't ask for anything. He just brought tributes and tribute girls to the Ming emperor. Please send them to me, Lord Angel."

As he spoke, he took out the gift slip from his pocket and handed it to Li Jianguo.Li Jianguo opened the gift list and looked at it, and was shocked. This is also a gift list, what is this? 150 taels of gold, 700 taels of silver, [-] pieces of white cloth and [-] pieces of linen cloth, [-] mats of flower mats, mats of yellow flowers, and mats of colorful flowers, [-] catties of ginseng, six pieces of leopard skin, ten pieces of otter skin, and two yellow brushes Ten sticks... ten servants holding food and maidservants'.

This is the tribute list for a small country in North Korea. Li Kaiguo fully understands why none of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty spoke for North Korea. Just such a small piece of broken stuff can be made by a country gentry with a little effort. These ministers will see it on these rags?

But he also knew that North Korea would definitely not intentionally reduce the tribute regulations at this time, presumably this must have been set in the previous dynasties.No wonder North Korea wanted to return to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty so much, thinking that it was exploited miserably by Hou Jin. Compared with it, Ming Dynasty was still benevolent.

Li Jianguo threw the gift list on the table, and said: "When you came, the emperor has already confessed that your Korean vassal state will be exempted from all tributes in this catastrophe, and all tributes will be brought back. If you have no more requests, my official Now I will reply to the Holy Majesty, let you wait for the morning to return to the court."

The North Korean envoy panicked immediately, knelt down quickly, and repeatedly begged to meet the Emperor Ming, but Li Kaiguo would ignore him, and he wanted to make a fortune, so it's just a little bit of rags, so don't worry about it.

Just as Li Kaiguo walked to the door, the North Korean envoy was finally cornered and shouted: "Master Angel, please stay, Xiaobang still has requests."

As he said that, he jumped up and hugged Li Jianguo's leg. Li Jianguo looked down, and a playbook was handed in front of him. Along with the playbook, there were still ten taels of gold.

After all, the North Korean envoy was enlightened, but it was a pity that Li Jianguo didn't like this small amount of money, but he was very interested in what was written in the playbook, so he took the playbook immediately, then kicked the North Korean envoy aside, opened the Come and watch.

The North Korean envoy was shocked, this was a memorandum for the emperor, he wanted to remind him, but he was afraid of offending Lord Angel, so he could only worry secretly.

Li Jianguo was already very familiar with traditional Chinese characters at this time. He read the ten lines at a glance, then put the memorial book in his arms, and said: "This memorial book is forwarded to you by the official. I will meet you today today. No one should disclose it, otherwise you will not go back to North Korea, and leave the body in my Daming."

Without stopping, he pushed the door open and went out.The minister of Honglu Temple rushed to see him off, but was also frightened by him before leaving.

He originally wanted to ask what these North Korean envoys did when they went to Jinbaoyinhao. Go try it, it's a pity, these North Korean envoys are so poor that they don't look down upon Jinbaoyinhao at all.

Outside the door, it was already getting dark, two Jinyi guards guarded the gate of Honglu Temple, when they saw Li Kaiguo, they immediately knelt down and saluted, saying: "Huang Baishun, Sun Kaixin has met Mr. Qianshi."
