Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God
Chapter 210: Korean Welcome Banquet (1)
However, at this moment, King Sukjong Yi Sun suddenly said, "Your Majesty, although this wine is indeed delicious and can be called a rare treasure, it is ultimately just an item. In comparison, no matter how strong the aroma of the wine is, it is far less than the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo. Now, the Manchu Tartars have occupied the world of the Ming Dynasty, and as the King of Goryeo, although I have limited ability, I am willing to take up the banner of anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and invite all knowledgeable people in the world to work together to plan a grand cause."
Li Yun's words were passionate and full of ambition, which inspired everyone present.
"I admire you so much!" Wei Xiaobao applauded and expressed his admiration twice.
Then, he turned to look at Li Yun, and said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "As far as I know, Japan has no grudges against the Ming Dynasty, and has no connection with the Qing court. The Ryukyu Kingdom once respected the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty as its suzerain state, and has been oppressed by the Tokugawa Shogunate for nearly a hundred years. Who has ever cared about it? I just want to ask King Sukjong, what benefits can the anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty bring to our Tiandi Federation?"
After hearing this, Li Yun responded righteously: "If you fight for a legitimate reason and for justice, you are a righteous army. If you fight for a little profit, you are a mean person!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaobao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and replied bluntly: "You are right, I am a mean person. We will never participate in wars that have no benefits."
"Is this your idea or the opinion of the Japanese Emperor?" Li Yun asked loudly angrily.
"My husband's opinion is my opinion." Ling Zhao couldn't stand it anymore and finally couldn't help but interrupt.
"Husband? Is His Majesty the Emperor really married?" Li Yun asked Ling Zhao in surprise.
"Thank you Prince Su for your concern. I was married to the commander-in-chief before I ascended the throne, and my father personally conferred the title of Prince Yamato on me." After Ling Zhao finished speaking, she took the initiative to reach out and hold Wei Xiaobao's arm to show the deep affection and love between them.
After hearing what Lingzhao said, Li Yun felt very disappointed. He originally planned to propose marriage to Lingzhao, hoping to get closer to Japan through marriage with Lingzhao and achieve the goal of winning over Japan to jointly fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.
However, it now seemed that this road had been completely blocked, and he realized that his plan might not be implemented as he wished, feeling heavy and depressed.
Then delicious dishes were served one after another, and everyone ate and drank to their heart's content in the midst of joyful conversation.
After the lunch, the Goryeo adults got a jar of "immortal wine" as they wished.
However, the welcoming dinner that was supposed to be hosted by Li Yun was declined by Wei Xiaobao on the grounds that he had drunk too much at noon.
Li Yun thought, "If we don't agree, there's no point in saying anything more," so he stopped inviting more people. In this way, the three-day Incheon welcoming banquet that the Goryeo elders had carefully prepared was forced to be cancelled, which made them very disappointed. They could only pin their hopes on the welcoming banquet in Seoul.
The next morning, the sun shone on the earth, and there was peace and tranquility.
King Sukjong's eight horses led the way, followed closely by Lingzhao's sixteen horses.
The team marched towards Seoul in a mighty manner.
Thirty thousand soldiers of the Tiandi Army followed closely behind the imperial carriage in neat steps. Each of them was mighty and majestic, with high morale; the horse-drawn artillery carts were even more majestic and shocking.
The majestic momentum of the Tiandi Army not only frightened Li Yun and the Goryeo elders, but also made the people along the way terrified.
The Japanese flag was flying above the imperial carriage, and the imperial guards were also flying the same flag.
For the Korean people who had suffered the destruction of their country at the hands of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, these flags undoubtedly evoked their painful memories and filled their hearts with fear and anxiety.
The team arrived in Seoul when the sun was shining brightly.
From a distance, Changdeok Palace was ablaze with lights and filled with joy. The palace gate was packed with welcoming crowds, creating a spectacular scene.
Wei Xiaobao held Ling Zhao's hand, followed by Su Quan, Shuang'er and He Tishou. Further behind were the generals of the Tiandi Army. Li Cheng, wearing the uniform of a general of the Tiandi Army, mixed in the crowd.
Led by Prince Su, everyone came to the square in front of the dining hall.
Tables and chairs were already set up here, arranged in an eight-shaped pattern. There were two special desks in the center, which were obviously prepared for Su Wang Li Yun and the Emperor's spirit summons. The lower part was divided into two steps, with the upper one for VIP seats and the lower one for the attendants.
There is an oval stage in the middle.
At this moment, many people were already seated in the VIP area and the attendant area. When Li Yun appeared with Ling Zhao and Wei Xiaobao, the whole audience immediately stood up and burst into thunderous applause.
Wei Xiaobao naturally sat at the head table with Ling Zhao. Su Quan, Shuang'er and He Tishou sat in the VIP area, while the generals of the Tiandi Army were arranged in the attendant area.
Everyone sat down, the music played, and King Sukjong Lee Hwan stood up at the main table. He waved his hand to signal for the music to stop, and then said:
"Prince Sukjong, Yi Hwan, is delighted to welcome the Emperor of Japan. It is an honor for our country that His Majesty has come from such a long distance to visit our country. On behalf of all the subjects of Goryeo, I extend my sincerest welcome to His Majesty the Emperor.
Your Majesty's arrival is like a spring breeze, bringing the friendship and culture of Japan to our country. I look forward to discussing major issues with Your Majesty, enhancing the friendly relations between our two countries, and ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity.
Although our country is small, we are rich in resources and our people are hardworking. We are willing to share the blessing of peace and prosperity with Japan. Today's meeting will surely become a new starting point for the friendship between the two countries and make greater contributions to the peace and development of the two countries.
Once again, I welcome His Majesty the Emperor to visit us and hope that His Majesty will have a pleasant and unforgettable stay in our country."
After Li Yun finished his speech, the audience burst into warm applause.
Li Yun still ignored Wei Xiaobao, the commander-in-chief of the Tiandi Federation.
Then Ling Zhao stood up and delivered a speech of thanks.
Her voice was beautiful and pleasant, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.
Ling Zhao first expressed her deepest respect to Li Yun and thanked him for his hospitality. She said: "This time, I and my husband, the Grand Commander of the Heaven and Earth Federation, are visiting Goryeo together to enhance the friendship and cooperation between the two countries. I cherish this opportunity very much.
Looking back at the historical origins between the two countries, the people of both countries hated the pain brought to the people of both countries by samurai groups such as Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Koyasu.
I hope that everyone will remember the lessons of history, look to the future, and promote cultural and economic exchanges between the two sides. I hope that through the efforts of both sides, we can jointly create a more prosperous and peaceful future. "
Finally, Ling Zhao once again expressed his sincere gratitude to Li Yun and wished that the friendship between the two countries would last forever. The guests at the banquet responded with warm applause, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
After Ling Zhao finished speaking and sat down, he quietly asked Wei Xiaobao: "How was my speech?"
"Excellent acting skills!" Wei Xiaobao whispered, earning a roll of the eyes from Ling Zhao.
