Seeing that Sang Gan finally had no choice but to bow his head and kneel to him, Zhu Youtang was finally willing to say the words: "I am safe."

Zhu Youtang knew that although Sang Gan, the envoy from the Great Mongol Empire, knelt down to him, his heart was still unyielding. Hum, although the etiquette matters are over, I still want to ask you about the Lanzhou Guard before.

things.

"Since Mongolia has sent envoys to pay tribute to our Ming Dynasty today, it means that you recognize that we are a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty. But not long ago, you sent troops to our Lanzhou Guard and killed 645 people of the Ming Dynasty. Should you give me an explanation?

"Zhu Youtang asked coldly.

Before Sang Gan came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty on the orders of Batu Mengke and Mandu Hai, they all agreed that the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty should be an embroidered pillow. If the leader was not a tiger but a lamb to be beheaded, then this huge Central Plains Empire would

There was nothing to be afraid of. But when Sang Gan saw Zhu Youtang's confident and domineering performance with his own eyes, he realized that maybe they had made the young emperor simple. Zhu Youtang was more mature than his father.

Emperor Hua is better than blue!

"This is a misunderstanding. The attack on Lanzhou Guard of the Ming Dynasty and the killing of 645 of your people was not the intention of our Khan. It was because there was a tribe under the Khan who secretly carried out the plan without the prior consent of our Khan.

He led troops to attack you, and he was killed by our Khan afterwards." Sang Gan said.

What an excuse that is made out of nothing, and your Khan didn’t know about it beforehand. It’s simply nonsense!” Zhu You said coldly: “If your Khan can’t control his own people next time, then Ming Dynasty will control it for him! Don’t

I think you Mongolia now has more tribes and troops, so you think you can do whatever you want. If you Mongolia still want to develop well, you'd better not cause trouble and be honest, otherwise it won't be me and you next time.

You said it was so easy to talk."

.......

After paying tribute, Sang Gan was sweating profusely. The young emperor himself indeed underestimated him. After returning to the post house, his daughter came out to greet him with a smile and asked: "How is father? Is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty a little lamb?"

"

Sang Gan shook his head and said tiredly: "This little emperor is very mature. We all underestimated him. Where is Ba Genyongsi? Let him take the treasure and come with me again."

Sang Gan's daughter asked in confusion: "I went to the old man's house twice yesterday, and he was absent once and not seen again. How come we still have the shamelessness to give him gifts?"

"Since the emperor is a master who is not easy to mess with, we can only use his dogs to do kung fu." Sang Gan sighed and said.

...

At the house of Liu Ji, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Li Guang, the Minister of Rites and Zhang Peng, the Minister of War, followed him to his home. Liu Ji was very satisfied with his performance today. Today he was the first to come out in the court to accuse Sang Gan of being disrespectful by not kneeling.

It can be regarded as setting an example for the ministers. From the way the emperor looked at him, it can be seen that Zhu Youtang was very pleased and satisfied with his performance. On the contrary, Xu Pu, the deputy minister of the cabinet, did not say a word. His Majesty must be very satisfied with his performance.

He was very disappointed. Huh, Xu Pu, just wait and fight with me, you are still young!

Liu Ji walked in front with a cheerful face, followed closely by Zhang Peng and Li Guang. Compared to Li Guang, who was flattering and flattering, Zhang Peng had a sad face, as if he had something on his mind that he couldn't express.

Walking in the garden, Liu Ji sat down in a small pavilion and said with a smile, "Why does Zhang Shangshu look so sad?"

When Zhang Peng saw that Liu Ji was asking questions knowingly, he suddenly got angry and said tremblingly: "First Assistant, you promised me that as long as I openly oppose Xu Pu in Wuying Hall, you will return the witnesses of that incident. There is evidence in my hands. Isn’t this true? In Wuying Hall, no matter what the second assistant Xu Pu said, I was always against him. I have already followed your instructions, why don’t you fulfill your promise? ?”

Li Guang listened with a confused look on his face. Did the two old guys hide a secret from me? Li Guang wanted to say something but didn't know where to start, so he had to give up and look at Liu Ji silently.

Liu Ji chuckled and sneered, remembering that Zhang Peng in the Wuying Palace was always speaking for him and seeking his own interests. Didn't he tell Zhu Youtang that he was forming a clique for personal gain? He didn't know that this old man was really brainless. Or deliberately put yourself in a disadvantageous position.

"Don't worry, Zhang Shangshu. I will naturally give you what you promised, but I still have to ask you to do one last thing for me."

Zhang Peng saw that since he had already boarded the pirate ship, he didn't miss the last thing. He said with a straight face: "You can tell me what the last thing is!"

Liu Ji smiled and said: "Go back home first, and you will know about it later!"

"If you play tricks on me again this time, it will be a big deal for everyone!" Zhang Peng said coldly, threw up his sleeves and left.

Li Guang's mind was filled with questions. Seeing Zhang Peng just walking away, Li Guang immediately asked anxiously: "Mr. Ge, what is Zhang Peng talking about? Why do you say that the fish will die and the net will be broken?"

"His son killed someone in the private room of Tianxin Restaurant. This incident happened to be seen by a servant in my house. His idiot son was so frightened that he left in a hurry after killing..." Liu Ji suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

But after listening to Liu Ji's words, Li Guang couldn't help but suddenly realized. The big backer behind Tianxin Restaurant was Liu Ji. Why did Zhang Peng change his normal behavior in Wuying Palace that day and go against Xu Pu everywhere? It turns out that this old guy is There is something in Liu Ji's hands.

Li Guang couldn't help but laugh and said: "This is a great move by Mr. Ge. With Zhang Peng as a chess piece, it will be easier for us to plan in the future. Mr. Ge just said that there is one more thing to do, I don't know what it is?"

Liu Ji didn't want to tell Li Guang at first, but seeing that Li Guang had been with him for so long and was loyal and showed no signs of betraying him, it didn't hurt to tell him.

"The Mongolian envoy Sang Gan came to our door."

"This... this is a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!" Li Guang knew that Sang Gan came to the door for no reason and must have evil intentions.

Liu Ji narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Why are you panicking? I have refused to see them. There are some things that I don't have to personally handle."

Li Guang was uneasy and admonished: "Mr. Ge, there is no wool in the Ming Dynasty, so why take the risk to pick up the Mongolian sheep? If this matter is leaked, it will be a serious crime of being executed!"

"If you don't tell me, and I don't tell you, Zhang Peng naturally won't dare to say anything. Who can know about this?" Liu Ji said in a deep voice.

Li Guang saw Liu Ji looking at him with a gloomy expression, and then said nothing.

…

In the Ash River, in the Hada tribe's account, the leader of the Hada tribe, Suheite, held a Haixi Jurchen conference. In addition to the Hada tribe, the Ula tribe, the Huifa tribe, and the Yehe tribe were present.

The envoys of the Li Dynasty were killed and all the tributes were lost. The whole Liao Dynasty was shocked. There were many rumors that it was the Haixi Jurchens who were responsible. Although Ma Wensheng, the governor of Liaodong, had not held anyone accountable yet, they already felt that the Ming court had suspected them.

"You have all heard, right? All the tributes paid by the Li Dynasty to the Ming Emperor were lost, and the envoys were all turned into headless corpses. There are rumors outside that it was us Haixi Jurchens who did it. We have called everyone here today to discuss it.

What should we do about this matter?" Soheite, the leader of the Hada tribe, was the first to speak.

"The Han people have a saying: If you are upright, you are not afraid of a slanted shadow. Since we are not responsible for it, what should we be afraid of? The little emperor of the Ming Dynasty asked him to sulk!" The person who spoke was Eyidu, the son of the leader of the Ula tribe. This time the Haixi Jurchen

He was the representative of the Ula tribe at the conference.

"Nephew Eyidu is right, it's not us who did it, why do we care so much about him!"

Suheita said worriedly: "Although I say this, how can we convince Ming Dynasty that we were not the ones who did it? I have always had a question in my mind, why is it said outside that it was us Haixi Jurchens who did it, and not Jianzhou Jurchens?"

What? I’m afraid there’s something behind this matter that’s not that simple!”

The leader of the Yehe Tribe, Esutu, added: "This matter may have been done by their Jianzhou Jurchens, and they will blame it on our Haixi Jurchens!"

"Their Jianzhou Jurchens are the hybrid of a cunning fox and a hungry tiger. I have long disliked them. Last year we built a horse farm in Jiandong for grazing, and several of their Jianzhou Jurchens' dog slaves actually stole our horses! Afterwards, we built a horse farm to graze our cattle.

Their leader Toluo actually refused to admit it and even shamelessly offered to graze with us!"

"Send out troops and get rid of these harmful wolves! Let them taste the power of Haixi women!"

Seeing Su Heite volunteering to attack the Huifa Department of the Jianzhou Jurchens, his heart gradually became complicated. Indeed, he also hated the Jianzhou Jurchens. Before, he wanted to unify the Jurchens and fight against the Ming Dynasty together. To be honest, everyone

I don’t want to be a lackey of the Ming Dynasty. I used to be an eagle on the grassland, but after breaking its wings, I became a house bird in the hands of the Ming Emperor.

But later I realized that it was really impossible to work with the Jianzhou Jurchens. They were greedy, cunning, and had selfish motives in everything they did. They only wanted to annex the Haixi Jurchens, and did not think about reviving the Jurchens. How could such a group of people be like this?

What about cooperation?

"The Jurchen tribe is now a piece of scattered sand. No one is convinced by anyone. If we don't unite, our Jurchen tribes will be divided up by the Walas and Ming people sooner or later." Ula also said.

"I also oppose the attack on the Jianzhou Jurchens. In recent years, the Ming Dynasty's border trade has become less and less frequent. They asked us to protect the northern border, but they continued to develop Liaodong. This Liaodong has been the place of our Jurchens since ancient times.

This is the land where our Jurchen tribe thrives, how can we let those Ming people develop it? We should unite!"

I also object. We are forced to surrender to the Ming Dynasty now. Once we truly and completely surrender to the Ming Dynasty, we will become fish meat on the Ming Dynasty’s chopping board. They can do whatever they want to do with us. This Li

The North Korean envoys were killed and the Ming Emperor's tribute was lost, which was just enough to give us a bad breath.

Suheite saw that most of these tribes hated the Ming Dynasty, but only a few people were hostile to the Jianzhou Jurchens. Although the Hada tribe was powerful, they could not force the other three tribes to attack the Jianzhou Jurchens. That's all, so he went to do it himself.
