The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 622
Seoul is too close to the sea, and the Han River is connected to the sea.

If Ming really wanted to conquer North Korea, Ming's navy could even go directly along the Han River to the capital of North Korea, Seoul.

Hearing this, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but continued.

"Then when the angel arrives, will this king take the initiative to apologize?"

Right leader Jin Zhongzai said.

"Maybe the king can take the initiative to write to the emperor to apologize!"

"I am the first vassal of the Ming Dynasty in North Korea. I think the emperor will not care about the king after receiving the king's confession."

Li Wei nodded, and then continued to ask.

"I don't know, my lords, who would like to go to Incheon to welcome the angel into Beijing?"

The angel came on behalf of Daming, and North Korea had to send someone to meet him.

This is the rule!

It is also the face of Daming, the kingdom of heaven.

But there was no negotiation at all.

Li Xuan, the son of the Joseon King, stood up and said.

"Qizou Wang, my son is willing to go to Incheon in person to welcome the Great Tomorrow's envoy to Beijing on behalf of the king."

Seeing this scene, Li Wei nodded in satisfaction.

"Then it's up to you, it also shows how respectful North Korea is to Shangguo!"

As the son of the king of Joseon, Li Xuan is absolutely qualified to represent North Korea to meet the envoys of Ming Dynasty.

If Li Xuan went there, he would definitely be able to see North Korea's respect for Daming.

Li Xuan accepted the order with cupped fists, agreed, and then returned to the court.

After the dynasty was over, Li Xuan went straight to Incheon with a full set of support to welcome the angel.

……

Traveling along the Han River, Li Yun arrived in Incheon in just the second day.

Then he went straight to the post house to meet the Great Angel.

Wearing a fourth-rank official robe, Liao Zhou strode out of the post house with the imperial decree of the Emperor of Heaven in his hands.

Seeing this, Li Xuan directly bowed and saluted.

"The son of the Joseon Dynasty, Li Xuan, pays his respects to His Majesty!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

What Li Xuan worshiped was not Liao Zhou, but the imperial decree in Liao Zhou's hands, and the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty represented by the imperial decree.

Liao Zhou said.

"Free gift!"

Only then did Li Xuan get up, and then bowed his hands again.

"Li Xuan, the son of the king of Joseon, has seen an angel before!"

Liao Zhou returned the courtesy.

"Liao Zhou, Special Envoy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, has met His Royal Highness the Prince of Korea!"

After the two of them finished their salutes, Li Xuan spoke.

"Master Angel, why don't you come to Beijing with me?"

"Father is already preparing for the banquet of the angels. I am looking forward to seeing the angels of the kingdom!"

Liao Zhou nodded after listening.

"Okay, listen to the prince's arrangement!"

"I have a mission to go to North Korea this time. After completing it, I have to return to Daming to return to my mission. It's better to go to Beijing as soon as possible."

Next, the Prince of Korea began to arrange for manpower to clear the Han River channel.

The official ship of Ming Dynasty set sail again, went upstream, and went straight to Seoul, the capital of North Korea.

……

When King Seja of Joseon traveled from Seoul to Incheon, he traveled very fast because he was traveling downstream.

It took only one day to arrive in Incheon from Seoul.

When it was time to reverse course, because the fleet was traveling against the current, the speed would not be so fast.

It was not until noon the next day that the fleet arrived at the pier outside Seoul.

As soon as the ship appeared in the battle of vision, the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers began to blare on the pier.

Very lively!
After Liao Zhou disembarked, he was greeted by a group of North Korean officials and headed towards the North Korean palace.

The team walked on the streets of Seoul, and what impressed Liao Zhou the most was not the tall courtyards in Seoul.

It's the countless Korean people who don't have enough clothes to cover their bodies and don't have enough to eat on the streets.

Although the living conditions of Koreans in Seoul are better than those in Incheon, they are not much better.

Should North Korea's top dignitaries exploit or exploit them!
Korean people are miserable!

So, don’t look at the merchants of Ming Dynasty, after they came to North Korea, most of them did human traffickers business.

But their word-of-mouth among the Korean people is surprisingly good!
These North Korean people have already been crushed to the point of numbness. In their view, instead of being starved to death in North Korea, they might as well board a ship to Daming and gamble for the chance to change their destiny.

Anyway, for them, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than the current situation!

What if it works?
Doesn't that change fate?

If they fail, they will die at most. Can death be more painful than what they are living now?

Therefore, facing Ming's ships, many North Koreans were scrambling to get on board.

Not long after, Liao Tong and his party traveled through the entire city of Seoul and arrived at the royal palace of Joseon——Gyeongbokgung Palace!

Gyeongbokgung Palace was built in a grand style, completely in accordance with the princely etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the king of Joseon is only a county king in terms of title, because North Korea has always been respectful to Daming, he was allowed to use the princely ritual system as an exception.

Including ceremonial guards, royal palaces, crown clothes, altars, etc., all of which can be used at the prince level.

Looking at it in a blink of an eye, the current Gyeongbokgung Palace is much more decent than the dilapidated Forbidden City in Nanjing.

However, Liao Zhou faced this rather respectable Joseon royal palace.

But he didn't have the tension and oppression he felt when facing the Forbidden City in Nanjing.

Because to him, no matter how magnificent the Joseon Palace in front of him was, it was just a cold building.

But the Forbidden City in Nanjing represents Zhu Hongyu's unshakable imperial power!
The two cannot be confused!

Surrounded by a group of people, Liao Zhou strode into Gyeongbokgung Palace holding Zhu Hongyu's imperial decree.

On both sides of the royal road, there were two rows of servants standing respectfully, as well as the imperial guards of the Korean king.

But the King of Korea himself was already standing at the end of the royal road, waiting for the Great Angel.

Liao Zhou walked up to Li Wei, and Li Wei took the lead in bowing.

"King of North Korea Li Wei, pay homage to Son of Heaven!"

As the king of Joseon, Li Wei first saluted the Son of Heaven represented by Liao Zhou.

After Liao Zhou heard the words, although he didn't show it on his face, he was still quite excited in his heart.

He was just an ordinary mid-level and low-level official of Ming Dynasty, but now he could make the King of Korea salute him.

Although the object of the salute was not him, it was enough to make him excited!
He knew that all of this was given to him by Daming behind it!
Liao Zhou also bowed and saluted without being humble or overbearing.

"Your official, Liao Zhou, have met the king!"

The two saluted each other, and then entered the main hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace hand in hand.

Li Wei sat at the top, and Liao Zhou stood in the center of the hall with his back straight and majestic.

The civil and military ministers of North Korea gathered and stood in two groups, their eyes focused on Liao Zhou.

King Li Wei of North Korea stood up and asked.

"I don't know if the emperor sent an angel to North Korea, but do you have any orders?"

Liao Zhou didn't feel nervous at all, he cleared his throat, and his face instantly became stern.

At this moment, the atmosphere in Gyeongbokgung Palace suddenly became solemn!
