First Prince of Ming Dynasty

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. The official career is bound to be flat.

But 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 honestly study and understand in the palace?

Why is the crown prince busier than their Goryeo kings, they don't go back and forth to the capital, they have been here for more than half a year, and the country is constantly urging them, and even the king personally wrote a letter to reprimand them for not doing anything.

But the Ming Dynasty’s side kept procrastinating, frightening them to nowhere, being trapped in the capital with nowhere to go, and going to the Ministry of Rites every day without any explanation, and those who were shunned would doubt their lives.

Unexpectedly, when things turned around, the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty informed them to prepare as soon as possible, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty came to the door in person, so their hearts finally settled down.

"Foreign ministers and others dare not claim credit, please invite Your Highness to enter the palace."

Zhu Biao nodded and walked in, only then did the people in Gaoli dare to raise their heads, looked at the prince's back carefully and respectfully, and then followed up with lowered eyebrows and compassionately.

The woman in red who was kneeling inside the door just now had disappeared, and Zhu Biao was not surprised. After all, she was a princess who had not left the cabinet.

Along the way, it can be seen that the facilities in the mansion are quite sound. 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 more common at the same time. It was easy for men and women to marry and leave easily. At that time, many men and women bathed in the river water together, and there was no taboo.

And now the girls from rich families in Goryeo are just like the officials and ladies in Ming Dynasty, they are all out of doors and never set foot, so they are naturally full of curiosity about the outside world.

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.

When Goryeo absorbed all aspects of Han culture, it also fully accepted Chinese characters as a tool for carrying Han culture. The people of the Korean peninsula learned to use Chinese characters to write classic documents, and also used Chinese characters to record their own history, and used Chinese characters to create their own literary works. , to record the native language.

Zhu marked them as if they were Lee's Joseon Dynasty before promulgating the earliest phonetic characters on the Korean peninsula, training the people in Zhengyin, that is, teaching the people to write the phonetics correctly.

However, due to the absolute advantages of Chinese culture at that time and the far-reaching influence on the Korean peninsula, Hunminjeongeum, as a new script, was not popularized in time.

According to historical records, shortly after the promulgation of Hunminzhengyin, some literati and 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 promulgated Hunminzhengyin 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 worship and 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 incomparably noble god.

To be honest, Zhu Biao has never felt this kind of emotion from 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 went into the warehouse, and Yunjin rewarded Princess Gaoli on behalf of the princess, and accepted Princess Gaoli's visit on her behalf.

Zhu Biao smiled and chatted with the nervous and excited Korean ministers. Although their accents were a little 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.

…………………

It’s almost a million words, and to be honest, writing is getting 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, it may be necessary to work slowly and meticulously. Daily updates will definitely be maintained, and there will never be eunuchs

I myself like to read novels, and I know what it feels like to chase books that are updated slowly, but I really lack the ability. I really envy the eagle's hand speed_(`"∠)_
