The fight between the two camps was a wonderful one. Clothes and boots of both sides were flying everywhere, and the golden messenger was lying dead on the ground. There was no other way. Zhu Hui just knocked Guarjia unconscious.
Even Yan Shenggong was not spared. During the melee, someone swung the belt with the jade sign on his face. The old man was so old that he was whipped back a few steps and fell to the ground. .
However, the melee between the two sides did not end, and they even began to fight in close quarters. The crowd pushed and pushed Yanshenggong and he was stepped on several times, and he could not escape.
Emperor Longqing saw that time was almost up, and if he allowed them to continue fighting, it would be a joke if something happened, so he said, "What are you doing?"
The calm and low tone sounded like thunder in the ears of the ministers. This was a court meeting! How could I have gotten into trouble!
The civil and military ministers returned to their respective teams one after another, and many ministers' wat boards were discounted. How could the civil ministers defeat the generals with their fists? Almost all the civil ministers failed, and some even had their court uniforms torn into tatters.
The worst one was Yan Shenggong, who had a very obvious red mark from the jade plaque on his face, his crown was also kicked away by someone in the melee, and there were six or seven footprints all over his body!
The ground was in a mess, with many civil servants and generals standing barefoot on the ground, and a strange smell began to spread. Xue Hong, who had just been gloating about his misfortune, immediately stopped being happy and quickly used his true energy to isolate his whole body.
Emperor Longqing smelled the peculiar smell in the air and showed contempt. He glanced at the ministers who were looking down and down: "Why don't you put your boots and court clothes back on!!"
After receiving Emperor Longqing's order, the ministers began to look for their own boots, socks, and belts.
Zhu Hui also pretended to check Guarjia's injury and quietly put away the jade pendant.
Not to mention that the nomads are in good health. After being critically attacked by Zhu Hui, they only lost consciousness for a moment and then woke up.
Emperor Longqing coughed slightly: "Since the money is for peace talks, where is the sincerity?"
When Guarjia heard that Emperor Longqing relented, he ignored the pain in his head and said quickly: "I, Empress Jin, would like to make the Ming Dynasty my suzerainty! Send envoys to pay tribute every year!"
Emperor Longqing: "Since Hou Jin is so sincere, I don't want to go into war without permission, so let's do it. Hou Jin will pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty of 200,000 cattle and sheep, and 5,000 troops and horses every year. That's fine."
In a short period of time, Emperor Longqing couldn't spare the energy to completely clean up the back money, so he might as well extort some benefits. As for the alliance... it can be torn up with any excuse. Didn't you see that Li Shimin signed the White Horse Alliance with the Turks? A few years later, Li Shimin broke the alliance, and the Turkic Khan was directly "invited" to dance in Chang'an.
Guarjia's head was buzzing when he heard this: What do you mean? Are you sure it's not an open robbery? It's true that Houjin is a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural society, but after all, the population is limited. If the annual tribute of 200,000 cattle and sheep, the army and horses are five Qian, this is no different from knocking Hou Jin’s bones and absorbing Hou Jin’s marrow!
Originally, Xue Hong and Sun Chuanting killed tens of thousands of young men and lost tens of thousands of horses in one battle. It is unthinkable to recover every ten years!
Guarjia said quickly: "Your Majesty, my queen is rich in poverty and poverty. How can I get so many cattle, sheep and horses? Please be merciful, Your Majesty!"
A kind smile appeared on Emperor Longqing's face: "For those who have not changed, I know the abilities of your king, and I also know the capabilities of your queen. I won't ask how the cattle and sheep came, but I won't be able to lose one."
In fact, what Emperor Longqing wanted to say is, you don’t have Kehorqin, but the Chahar tribe does! Don’t you like to rob the emperor? I will give you this opportunity to rob according to the order!
Although Chi had told Guarjia that no matter what conditions Emperor Longqing offered, as long as the foundation of Houjin's rise was not shaken, he would agree and leave the green hills without fear of running out of firewood.
But there are 200,000 cattle and sheep and 5,000 military horses every year! Note that they are military horses, which are different from ordinary horses!
Guarjia suddenly stood up from the ground and said: "Is the Emperor unwilling to show mercy?"
As soon as this statement came out, all the civil and military officials in the court shouted in unison: "How outrageous!! Look directly at the king, do you want to assassinate the king!"
Guarjia lowered his head again, but the unwillingness in his eyes was clearly seen by Emperor Longqing.
Emperor Longqing: "You have no choice. I am not negotiating with you."
Guarjia: "The Emperor is the lord of the world, so of course he can speak eloquently. However, I want to make a bet with His Majesty."
Emperor Longqing: "Oh? What kind of bet?"
Guarjia: "I am not alone here this time. I also brought a warrior from our country, Ger Yidu."
"The land of the Ming Dynasty is vast and rich in resources. As long as someone can defeat one of our warriors from Houjin, I will agree to the emperor's request. If not, please ask the emperor to show mercy and take back his life."
This was an obvious way to provoke the general, but Emperor Longqing couldn't respond, so he said: "Okay, I promise you. I wonder where your warrior is?"
Guarjia: "Waiting outside the palace now."
Emperor Longqing: "Xuan."
As the order was passed down, a burly man with a height of nine feet and a waist like a millstone walked in.
"Later Jin Geer also paid homage to His Majesty the Emperor!"
Emperor Longqing: "You are indeed a warrior. Come and show off your martial arts skills. I want you, Hou Jin, to surrender willingly!"
After arriving at the martial arts arena, Geer also said: "Your Majesty, I am a rough man who only knows boxing and kicking skills. Can I only compete in boxing and kicking skills?"
This is completely a game of scheming. Geer Yidu is already huge. If he compares weapons, he may suffer some losses, but if he only compares fists and feet, it can be said that his advantage is infinitely magnified.
However, among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, there were also many brave men and women who were highly skilled in martial arts, and they were all gearing up and eager to give it a try.
Emperor Longqing said without much thought: "Okay, I will grant what you, a warrior, ask for."
Who would have thought that Geer Yidu said again in an angry voice: "Your Majesty, I am just an unknown person from Houjin. I cannot be called a warrior. There are many braver people than me."
This sentence was purely shameless, and he deliberately lowered his attitude. If he defeated any general, Ming Dynasty would lose its face, and the dignified generals could not even defeat the unknown people of Houjin.
Even if he won the fight, the other party said that he was just a nobody and had nothing to be proud of.
Even before the fight started, people started to feel disgusted.
But this is also "modest". The officials' faces turned red with anger and it was difficult for them to curse.
