Father can be an enemy to the country

Chapter 277 International Students

As soon as Feng Zhou left Tamna Port, His Highness King Jin began to feel seasick again...

The third child just kept vomiting and vomiting. He returned all the food he had eaten on the island, but he still vomited to death. In desperation, he had no choice but to let Lao Si hang himself up again.

"This is what you asked for, not what I want to do to you." The fourth child was naturally happy to satisfy such a request. "Children, raise the flag!"

The Yulin Guards under him shouted a slogan and hoisted the third child back onto the mast.

I don’t know why, but when I hang it up, I don’t faint anymore...

So, for the rest of the voyage, the third child, besides having sex, even ate and slept hanging on the mast.

After wandering on the sea for two days, the third child finally saw land again.

"This is Goryeo, right? Hahaha, I can finally return to land." His Highness King Jin started talking nonsense excitedly:

"Whoever lets me go out to sea on a boat again in this life will be treated like a bastard!"

But before he could be happy for a while, the fourth child told him sad news:

"Don't be in a hurry to get down yet. I've asked the captain of the ship. It will take another five days before the ship can dock."

"Uh..." The third child immediately withered like an eggplant beaten by frost. After a while, he shouted in vain:

"Put me down. I want to take the land route. I don't want to take a boat anymore..."

"No, we have to sail as planned." Lao Si refused righteously.

~~

So Fengzhou walked along the sparse coastline for another five days, until the third child was almost dried up, and finally arrived at Yeseong Port near Goryeo Gyeonggi Province.

This is also the largest port in Goryeo. Since the Song Dynasty, Goryeo tribute envoys have set out from here to cross the ocean to China.

However, unlike Tamna Port, the arrival of the two sealing boats did not cause any commotion.

What was unexpected, but also reasonable, was that the ceremonial ceremony and music had been set up at the Licheng Port pier, and the ministers of Korea came to greet them.

"It seems that Pu Wanhu has reported our whereabouts." Lao Si said solemnly.

"Yeah, it's normal." The third child finally returned to the deck. He was lying on a stretcher while undergoing the physical examination of the fifth child, and said without stopping:

"Even after we leave Tamna, we can send a messenger one day late to land at Jeolla Road, the southernmost tip of the peninsula, and travel quickly by land. Naturally, the news can reach Kaesong several days before us."

"Third brother, don't worry, you are fine." After Lao Wu finished checking, he and Lao Liu helped him get down to the ground and walk slowly. His Highness Prince Jin has been hanging on the mast for so long that he can no longer walk...

~~

Licheng Port is a deep-water port, and ships can dock directly.

After the ship docked at the pier, Goryeo soldiers boarded the ship's ladder, and Goryeo officials wearing Song Dynasty-style official robes boarded the ship to greet them with smiles on their faces.

Look at the right-angled buns on their heads, the round collars and large sleeves, the purple or crimson official robes, and the fish bags around their waists. The third child became furious and cursed: "Damn it, the Koreans are shameless. They stole our Tamluo and our official uniforms from the Song Dynasty!"

"No, that's their racial talent." Lao Liu said seriously.

"Jin Tao, a Jinshi of the Celestial Dynasty and a member of the Gaoli sect, pays homage to the envoys of the Celestial Dynasty!" The purple-robed official at the head led the crowd to salute the two envoys deeply.

"On behalf of the king and the capital, I would like to extend my warmest welcome to the envoy to come and teach you!" Jin Tao's Chinese was spoken in a smooth and authentic Nanjing Mandarin.

"The Jinshe people are free of ceremony." Lin Mi gave him a hand and asked angrily: Are you a Jinshi of the Yuan Dynasty or a Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty? "

"Of course it belongs to the Ming Dynasty." Jin Tao replied with a smile. His speech and behavior were graceful and graceful. It was obvious that he had become a high official when he came back.

"He was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Hongwu." Lao Liu suddenly interrupted: "At that time, Jin Sheren declined the official position in the imperial court on the grounds that he did not understand Chinese and was close to the elderly. I didn't expect that this man could speak Chinese better than me. "

"Yes, yes, yes, this young master actually knows that I am just a subordinate?" Jin Tao was exposed by his excuse. Instead of being annoyed, he was very happy and said: "Back then, I was really not good at speaking Chinese, so I learned my shame and became brave. After I came back, I practiced hard. It became what it is now.”

As he said this, he knelt down and kowtowed to the south, and said with great emotion: "The emperor did not feel dissatisfied, and agreed to the vassal minister's undue affection. He also paid a generous fee for the trip, and sent the boat back." I felt five emotions Inside, I miss the emperor day and night. Now that I can speak Chinese fluently, if I am lucky enough to return to Nanjing, I am willing to serve the emperor for the rest of my life!"

Needless to say, Jin Tao's pretentiousness immediately brought the relationship between the two parties closer.

The two heavenly envoys also changed their condescending attitude towards others and started talking to him as equals.

Of course, the main reason is that he was selected as a Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty. Although the imperial examination has been suspended, Jinshi masters, even if they are foreigners, are highly respected by the government and the public.

Jin Tao also introduced the Korean officials accompanying the delegation to the reception, and then invited them to disembark and board the carriage that had been waiting for a long time.

Of course, the five hundred Yulin Guards could only follow on foot.

But walking is actually quite nice. Because after leaving Yeseong Port, the team had to walk for more than 40 miles through rugged valleys before they could reach Goryeo Wanggyeong Kaesong...

Riding on the carriage was extremely bumpy, and it was really not as comfortable as walking.

Fortunately, my brothers and I were chatting happily with Jin Tao in the car, so we didn't feel too uncomfortable at all.

Jin Tao is very gentlemanly and does not hide his past. He told his brothers that in fact, in the 22nd year of Yuan Zhizheng, he had already passed the second place in Goryeo and had been an official for many years.

"After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination was issued to Korea and other countries. Our government attached great importance to this imperial examination and was determined to perform well, so it sent me and the two top scholars to Nanjing to take the exam. As a result, I was lucky enough to get high school and the two top scholars were But I failed." When he mentioned the most proud thing in his life, Jin Tao couldn't help but get excited.

"But whoever is second in the top 100 is, at best, the emperor's Jieyuan Juren. After returning to China, at the suggestion of the minister, my Korean examination has been renamed the provincial examination."

"Haha, Jin Sheren is really a fastidious person." The brothers praised one after another.

Zhu Zhen suddenly asked: "By the way, is your current princess still the Princess of Lu from Beiyuan?"

"Uh..." Jin Tao was stunned and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has passed away long ago."

"Ah, dead?" Zhu Zhen asked: "How many years have you been dead? How did you die?"

"Ten years ago, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had a hard time getting pregnant, suddenly fell seriously ill and died. This was a huge blow to the King." Jin Tao sighed and said: "Since then, he has become increasingly depressed and no longer had the original intention to treat her."

"But misfortunes come from blessings," he changed the topic again and said with a smile: "If Her Highness the Princess is still here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the King to return to the Celestial Empire."

"Zhixiao is gone..." Lao Liu only felt regretful.

ps. I will post it first and then change it. I will read the next chapter tomorrow morning.
