Chapter four hundred and seventy-four: false and true
Following these words from King Bodu, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became a little stagnant.
Li Shi, who had just stood up and held his hands, suddenly looked like a knife and stabbed straight towards King Bodu.
Although Luo Qi's face was not so obvious, her face was visibly colder.
But neither of them spoke.
Because on such a big issue of right and wrong, Zhu Jian, the envoy of the mission, must respond in the most solemn manner.
In fact, Zhu Jian also felt very tired at this time.
This King Bodu is really a troublemaker.
The last time he came to Wala alone, he asked him in private. When he came here this time, he said the same thing when they first met.
Now, the peace talks between the two parties have progressed to this point, and they jumped out again. I am afraid you are not a fool, right?
Feeling the eyes of the two deputy envoys focused on him, Zhu Jian knew that at this time, he could not hesitate or waver.
Therefore, Zhu Jian took a step forward, but instead of facing King Bodu, he directly passed him and said solemnly to Ye Xian.
"Grand Master, the throne has been determined and it is difficult to change it. This is not something that can be said unreasonably."
He didn't speak at first, but instead showed a playful look on his face.
At the same time, King Bodu was obviously a little angry that he was ignored, and he also spoke first.
"Grand Master, please leave the envoy behind and send someone to ask if he can grant permission for the Supreme Emperor to ascend to heaven and then send him there. If not, why should the Supreme Emperor continue to be served by us?"
As soon as he said this sentence, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. The dozen or so Wala soldiers behind King Bodu also drew their scimitars at the same time, looking eagerly.
Zhu Jian frowned and kept staring at Ye Xian.
However, at this point, Ye Xian remained silent and just quietly played with the small scimitar inlaid with gold and jade in his hand, as if he didn't see anything.
As a result, Zhu Jian reacted immediately.
King Bodu's various actions were clearly directed by Ye Xian.
At this time, Zhu Jian suddenly remembered that Yuan Bin once said that the Supreme Emperor tried to save himself in the prison camp and made friends with Boyan Timur.
After Boyan's death, he turned to befriend King Bodu.
Therefore, even though King Bodu has been obsessed with whether the Supreme Emperor returned to the capital since last time, Zhu Jian only thought that it was because he had a close personal relationship with the Supreme Emperor and was worried about the safety of the Supreme Emperor after he returned to the capital.
But now this scene made him vaguely aware.
It would be normal to make good friends with Boyan Timur, but after Boyan died, King Bodu was first placed next to the Supreme Emperor.
Moreover, as if he had forgotten Boyan, within a few short months, King Bodu and the Supreme Emperor became "close friends" again. This would have been completely unreasonable without Ye Xian's tacit approval or even secret promotion.
possible.
Therefore, the one who hopes that the Supreme Emperor will take over his throne after his return to the dynasty is probably not King Bodu, but himself first...
But in this matter, as I said before, you can’t give in at all!
Seeing a group of Olay soldiers holding scimitars on the opposite side, Zhu Jian took a deep breath, knowing that at this time, he must not panic.
So, Zhu Jian gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, and came directly to the place five steps in front of Ye Xian. He asked with cold eyes.
"Grand Master, what King Bodu just said, can this envoy be regarded as declaring war on the Ming Dynasty on behalf of the Grand Master?"
At this time, the attitude becomes tougher.
Zhu Jian set an example, and Li Shi and Luo Qi looked at each other and followed suit.
Li Shi took two steps forward, stood behind Zhu Jian, and said with a straight face.
"My envoy has already stated that the inheritance of the throne is not something to be discussed lightly. If Wala wants to use this as a threat, the peace talks will be abandoned. Hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of our Ming Dynasty will be on guard and will fight to the death."
Luo Qi also came to Zhu Jian's side and stood side by side with Li Shi, but he smiled.
"My envoy went from the capital to Wala and passed through the city of Datong. The commander-in-chief Dingxiang Hou Guo Deng asked me to say hello to the grand master. May I ask the grand master if he still remembers his old friend Chang Dao?"
When he said this, he was almost on the verge of falling out.
The Wala nobles present all jumped up in excitement, glaring at Zhu Jian and the other three, and a burst of blood suddenly appeared on Ye Xian's face.
Shawo's defeat was a great shame and humiliation for him. How could he not be angry when someone opened his scars like this?
The two sides were facing each other like this, with the sun hanging high above their heads, and the silver scimitars in the hands of the soldiers flashing cold light in the sun.
Zhu Jian and the other three stood on the same spot, as if they were taking root under their feet, with stern expressions on their faces, as if they were not shying away from an axe.
Everyone knows in their hearts that the next negotiation, and even whether Wara and Daming will go to war or make peace, all depend on Ye Xian's next words!
Ye first looked coldly at the Ming Dynasty official standing in front of him, put his scimitar on the case, and suddenly asked.
"I read Han history books and heard that Emperor Yao had a son, Danzhu, and Emperor Shun ascended to the throne. Why?"
These words obviously meant something, Zhu Jian frowned tightly, but his expression did not relax at all, and he said solemnly.
"In the ancient times, Emperor Yao and Shun were enthroned in Zen, which is a legend through the ages. Now we have the Ming Dynasty artifact, the elder brother is enthroned in the younger brother, just like Yao and Shun."
After the words fell, there was another silence in the venue, and the string in everyone's heart was stretched to the extreme.
Under everyone's attention, he finally smiled slightly, turned around and scolded King Bodu.
"I have already said that I will sincerely send the Emperor back. I first sent a message to the Ming Emperor to ask him to send his ministers to welcome him. Now that the envoy has arrived, if I send people to the capital to ask questions again, I have broken my promise. It is time for the envoy to welcome him back.
, Fang lives up to his word.”
So, King Bodu lowered his head and retreated. The warlike soldiers who were at war with each other also put away their scimitars, and the atmosphere finally became more relaxed.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Zhu Jian breathed a sigh of relief. When he came back to his senses, he found that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
After cupping his hands, Zhu Jian smiled and said, "The Grand Master is indeed a man of integrity!"
Ye Xian still smiled and said nothing.
At this time, a tall man stood up among several Wala nobles and asked in a low voice.
"I heard that the Ming Emperor has liberalized border trade with Chahar, Horqin and other tribes, regardless of food, tea, jewelry and other items."
"Why do we treat all the tribes of Wala, but only tea horses?"
Zhu Jian led Li Shi back to the distance. When he saw the Wala nobleman, he turned sideways and looked at Naha Chu who was accompanying him.
Nahachu hesitated for a moment, then cautiously whispered: "This is me, Walapingzhang, Lord Angke."
So, Zhu Jian smiled again on his face and said.
"The exchange of tea and horses and the tribute envoys were agreed by His Majesty Taizong and the father of the Grand Master during the Yongle period. The Ming Dynasty and Wala should return to the old system. If your Excellency Pingzhang has any objections, you can ask the Grand Master to visit us.
Your Majesty, please give me your invitation again."
It was obvious that Pingzhang's request was thrown out first to test, so Zhu Jian pushed it back without hesitation.
So, it was better not to continue to be silent, he said.
"Anke, what the envoy said is reasonable. To return to the old good ways, you should return to the old system. You can rest assured that I will be fair in the quota of envoys for each ministry."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to Zhu Jian and asked again.
"Your Majesty, I have sincerely made good friends with the Ming Dynasty and sincerely surrendered to him. However, during the Yongle period, the tribes of Wala were weak and the tribute was not abundant. Now my tribes are multiplying and there are many tribes."
"In order to avoid further dissatisfaction due to the mission, we might as well make an agreement. In the future, my tribute mission will be limited to five hundred to congratulate His Majesty the Ming Emperor. How about that?"
