Zhang Yong waited outside for a while. The Mongolian nobleman who had gone in to report the matter came back. He looked at Zhang Yong and then said, "You, follow me."
The two of them arrived at a small hall one after another. Zhang Yongyong frowned. According to the rules, he usually chooses to meet distinguished guests in the lobby. If he entertains guests in a small hall, either the other party has a close relationship with him or it is intentional.
Show a contemptuous attitude.
It was obvious that Zhang Yong was not familiar with Qing Geertai, and the other party was deliberately humiliating him.
Although Zhang Yong was an eunuch, he represented the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. Qing Geertai was brave enough to dare to bully the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing. After all, Zhang Yong was used to big scenes.
There was no hint of timidity on his face, but he strode outside the small hall with his head held high, but stopped moving forward.
Seeing that he refused to go in, the Mongolian noble couldn't help but said with a bit of impatience: "Come with me quickly, don't you want to see our Grand Tutor?"
Zhang Yong said seriously: "The Za family came here to hand over a letter on the order of the prince. They represent the prince of the Ming Dynasty. How can we condescend to let your envoy receive the letter in the small hall?" After that, he looked like he was about to leave with a puff of sleeves.
: "The Za family heard that the Waci people call themselves Bei
The orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty is really ridiculous. Although the Northern Yuan Dynasty is also a barbarian, it has been educated by the Central Plains for a long time. The former leader of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Bo'er Jijin, is also a well-educated person. You still claim to be orthodox. According to Zajia, you are just a group of people who don't know etiquette.
Just a beast."
This sentence is a bit harsh, but Zhang Yong has no choice. If he is really humiliated by the Nawasi envoy, how can he go back to deliver the mission? If someone finds out, he will definitely be impeached by the officials. How can he still have a place in the East Palace?
If this is the case, then simply be tougher, for these Wazi people will not dare to do anything to the emperor at his feet.
The Mongolian nobleman was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Zhang Yong's attitude to be so tough. He was silent for a moment, and went to report again. When he came back, he obediently invited Zhang Yong to meet Qinggeertai in the hall.
In the lobby, Qing Geertai's expression was not very good. He originally wanted to give Zhang Yong a blow, but his wishful thinking was in vain. He asked him to punish the eunuchs of the East Palace of the Ming Dynasty. He may not have the courage, so in the end he had to deal with Zhang Yong.
Make a compromise.
When Zhang Yong saw Qing Gertai, he simply became a bachelor and did not salute. After entering, he quickly found a chair and sat down. He raised his eyes and glanced at Qing Gertai. Qing Gertai's complexion was as dark as usual.
Like the Mongolians, he is not tall, but has a sturdy back, a pair of eyes that are a little narrow, and a nose that is a little flat, which makes people look a little funny.
Qing Geertai looked at Zhang Yong and said: "My father-in-law said that the letter from the Prince of the Ming Dynasty must be delivered to me personally, so let's bring the letter."
Qinggeltai was not one to beat around the bush. At this time, he wanted to see what the letter from the prince of the Ming Dynasty suddenly sent to him.
Zhang Yong chuckled and said: "That's natural, but..." Zhang Yong took out the letter, but did not get up and hand it over. Instead, he held it in his hand and played with it slowly.
Qing Geertai's expression changed. Zhang Yong's meaning was clear. He was being asked to answer the letter. This eunuch was different from other eunuchs in that he was very courageous.
But in Zhang Yong's view, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered him to deliver the letter, and he represented the Crown Prince. If he obediently delivered the letter to Qing Geertai at this time, it would inevitably weaken His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's prestige. Zhang Yong was a somewhat
If you are brave enough, if Qinggeltai wants to read the letter, you have to get it yourself.
Qinggeltai sneered and said, "The prince's servant is so rude!"
Zhang Yong saw Qing Gertai getting angry, pursed his lips, and said with a smile: "It's not that the Za family is rude, but the letter is from His Highness the Crown Prince. You Washi claim to be the Ming Dynasty and pay tribute every year. Logically speaking, your envoy
They are the ministers of His Highness the Crown Prince. Are there any ministers in this world who are waiting for the Crown Prince to send a message?"
Zhang Yong's words left Qinggertai speechless. Qinggertai sneered: "I am here to deepen our friendship with the Ming Dynasty, but you, a slave, are here to entertain me. How courageous."
Zhang Yong stopped talking. There was no point in arguing with Qing Geertai. His mission was just to send the letter in a decent manner.
When Qing Geertai saw Zhang Yongyan, he suppressed his anger and babbled a few words to a Mongolian warrior standing in the hall. The warrior saluted, then walked to Zhang Yong, took the letter, and presented it to him.
When it came to Qing Gertai's case, Qing Gertai tore off the seal of the letter in front of Zhang Yong, opened the letter and looked at it, and was dumbfounded.
What is going on?
"I have long heard that Mongolia is famous for its bravery in riding and archery. But since the Waci people are brave, why are they repeatedly defeated by my ancestors, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Wen? According to me, the Waci people are just bluffing. The so-called bravery,
It is ridiculous to have a false reputation. If your envoy is not convinced, you can dare to form an array with me in the Wengcheng of the capital, and form a formation to decide the outcome..."
Snap...
Qinggertai threw the letter in his hand on the desk with a dark face, and said viciously: "What a southern barbarian!"
Zhang Yong's previous toughness, coupled with the scolding in Zhu Houzhao's letter, made Qinggeltai unable to bear it any longer. These southern barbarians actually dared to say that the Waci cavalry was just a name for themselves, and also mentioned Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di's sweep of Mobei.
, this can be regarded as a naked slap in his face.
Originally, Qinggeertai wanted to show a tough attitude and force the Ming court to make concessions, so he insisted on going to the Ming Gate to enter the palace to see him, with a non-negotiable attitude. In fact, the real purpose was to hope
The Ming court had to mediate with him to let him fight for greater benefits for Wa Ci. Good guy, now that he is tough, the Ming prince is even tougher. He almost pointed at his nose and scolded Wa Ci, and then asked Wa Ci to fight with him.
He singled out.
There was another sentence in the letter that deeply touched Qinggeltai.
"The Daming Gate is the gate of the Ming Dynasty. This gate was built by the emperors of the past dynasties when they swept across Mobei and settled in Peiping. Who are you? I dare to talk about it even though I was defeated by just one hand..."
Qinggeltai did not continue to read the following words, but the meaning was very clear. If you Wazi people want to enter through the Daming Gate, you are not worthy...
The entire letter contained hundreds of words, and not a single sentence was sarcastic. Qinggertai's face turned purple with anger, and then he couldn't help laughing and sneered: "Okay, okay, it turns out that what the Prince of Ming Dynasty sent was not a letter.
It's a letter of war. Since His Highness the Crown Prince wants to teach us Wa Ci warriors a lesson, this will make him fall.
We also have to see how virtuous and capable you are, and what abilities you have to dare to fight against my warriors. Go back and tell the prince, I accept this letter of challenge. His highness the prince wants to fight, so what about this fight?
The time is set in ten days, and we will find out by then. Someone, please ask this father-in-law to go out."
Zhang Yong was also shocked when he saw Qing Gertai's reaction. He didn't know the content of the letter, but when Qing Gertai said this, he understood that this letter was a letter of challenge submitted by the prince. Zhang Yong couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
Come on, gauntlet... gauntlet... Prince, you are really joking. At this juncture, you are actually playing this.
His mind went blank for a while and he was asked to leave.
Qinggertai in the lobby picked up the letter and read it again. After confirming the meaning of Prince Zhu Houzhao, he was not angry this time. Instead, he narrowed his eyes as if he remembered something.
"Master, this Ming man may not be too bold. He dares to provoke Wa Ci like this. Why don't we leave Ming's capital immediately and return to the country. Using this excuse, we can ask the king to bring a hundred thousand cavalry to level the Ming people's borders.
Town." A nobleman who was greeting Zhang Yong couldn't help but said.
Qinggeertai just shook his head and said with a faint smile: "Even if we want to fight, we have to go back with the Ming Dynasty's reward and then fight again. Besides, no matter whether the prince's letter was written by the prince alone or they
This is not necessarily a good thing for us. We simply take advantage of this confrontation to let Mingren see our valiant courage.
The soldiers are so powerful. If they win, it depends on where they put their face. If they are scared out of their wits by us, won't they just give in to us? Since they want to fight, let's fight with them. In this matter,
You go and make arrangements. The warriors who are coming with me this time will all be gathered together. They will practice well recently and meet Akito in ten days."
"yes."
The news that the prince had submitted a letter of war to the Waci people spread like wildfire in less than half an hour, and the whole place became lively. Waci had a very bad impression on the people of the capital. During the Tumubao Incident, the Waci people
The siege of the city of Beijing, burning, killing, and looting is still fresh in people's memory. Now I heard that the envoys of Wasi actually wanted to enter the Forbidden City through the Daming Gate. This was clearly an attempt to humiliate the Ming Dynasty, and many people were already aggrieved.
Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually stepped forward and took a tough stance. Public opinion was almost unanimously in favor of the Crown Prince. The Hongzhi Dynasty had been in peace for a long time, and had experienced very few wars. Under hard work, although the national strength was
There is improvement, but for ordinary people, the so-called long-term
Thinking of peace and long-term peace of chaos means that if the chaos lasts for too long, people's minds will settle down and hope that the war will end as soon as possible. But the world has been peaceful for too long, and everyone has not experienced the pain of war, but hopes for war. This kind of mentality
However, Zhu Houzhao's toughness attracted a lot of applause.
Zhu Houzhao's reputation is actually not good. Everyone knows that His Highness the Crown Prince is not good at studying and idles around every day. But now that he has put on such a good show, countless people are praising him.
