Cao Jixiang was arrested and sent to prison, causing no waves in the entire capital.
For the elders of the Manchu Dynasty, they paid more attention to the process of the emperor imprisoning the lieutenant because of the advice of the court officials.
As for Cao Jixiang's life or death, at least in the outer court, no one cared.
He is just a eunuch, not an official of the imperial court...
The only person who felt a little headache might be Yu Shiyue, the minister of Dali Temple who was in charge of the trial.
After all, not long after he entered the imperial edict, he "committed suicide out of fear of crime" and there was no time for even a trial. It would take a lot of effort to write this case file in such a way that no one can find fault with it.
But in fact, he was worried unnecessarily. At this time, no one cared about whether such a eunuch would die or not.
All the eyes looking up and down are gathered in one place!
Someone from Wala is coming!
In the Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Qiyu was at the top, and the civil and military ministers were lined up on both sides. All the officials from the imperial court in Beijing were present.
Different from the relaxed atmosphere of the usual early morning court, at this moment, there were dozens of Han generals holding ritual knives in the Fengtian Palace.
"Xuan, the special envoy of Wala is here to see you!"
The official's loud voice sounded.
Following the high-pitched voices of the waiters, several figures appeared at the tall gate of Fengtian Hall, all dressed in tiles.
The leader was a tall man with a full beard and dressed like a nobleman. Under the guidance of the waiter, he came to the center of the hall.
Immediately, he put his right hand on his chest, bowed and said.
"Naha, the special envoy of the Yuan Dynasty, came out and met the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. On the orders of my Khan and the Grand Master, I specially presented my credentials."
As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion among the officials in the palace, and several censors immediately stood up, their faces flushed, and they were obviously very angry.
"presumptuous!"
"Be bold!"
At the same time, on the side of the civil servants, Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu, came to the palace with a grave expression, looked directly at the Wala envoy, and said in a deep voice.
"The special envoy is careful to say that the old Yuan Dynasty has been destroyed, and now there are only Oara and Tatar outside the pass. Where can we get the special envoy of the Yuan Dynasty?"
"And the person you are worshiping is my Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. As a subject, Wala should perform three bows and nine kowtows. The special envoy is here under orders. Don't you know the etiquette?"
Facing Chen Yi's questioning, the Wala noble who claimed to be Naha Chu was very calm and was obviously prepared for this, saying.
"Although Nahachu is from Wala, he has also studied the Ming Dynasty canon system. You are wearing a scarlet robe with Xiechi embroidered on it. If my guess is correct, you are the Zuodu Yushi, one of the seven ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
, am I right?"
Chen Yi frowned and nodded.
"I am Chen Yi, the imperial censor of Zuodu."
The Navarre noble once again stroked his chest as a gift and said: "It is said that in the Ming Dynasty, the censor of Zuodu was called Zongxian, and Naha met Zongxian when he went out."
Chen Yi's face completely darkened.
He finally understood!
This so-called special envoy is just showing off!
When I asked him whether he was ungrateful, he guessed his identity based on his official robe and told him the nickname of Zuo Du Yushi.
He was telling the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers in disguise.
He understands etiquette, very well!
He was deliberately offending the majesty of the Ming Dynasty.
Chen Yi was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Naha and was speechless. He could only shout.
"The barbarians outside the Pass are extremely rude!"
"Chen Qing, step back."
At this time, Zhu Qiyu finally spoke.
Compared to Chen Yi who was furious, he seemed extremely calm.
When Chen Yi stood back in the distance, Zhu Qiyu's eyes crossed Mianqi, fell on the arrogant and rude Wala envoy, and said.
"Are you here on the orders of Tuo Tuo Bu Hua, or are you here on the orders of Ye Xian?"
Naha Chu bowed slightly and said.
"I, the Khan of Wangting, and the Grand Master, work together with one heart and one mind. The will of the Grand Master is the will of the Khan."
"Ha~"
Zhu Qiyu hummed softly and said leisurely.
"So, you came here on Ye Xian's order?"
Naha stood proudly and did not answer, but obviously did not mean to deny it.
Although the Oara and Tatars jointly established a new Khan Court and enshrined Totutu Buhua as Khan, in fact the two tribes were still distinct.
Naha came from Wala, so he naturally had no doubts about the tribal leader in his heart.
Then Zhu Qiyu's face suddenly darkened and he said coldly.
"Since you have been ordered by Ye Xian, you should be a member of Wala."
"At the time of Emperor Taizong, Wala officially proclaimed himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty. Renzong and Xuanzong were protected by the Ming Dynasty and received several tributes. As of February of the 14th year of Zhengtong, there were still envoys coming to pay tribute to me."
"However, as an envoy of Wala, you spoke nonsense in the Fengtian Palace of the Ming Dynasty and called yourself an envoy of the Yuan Dynasty. What, are you telling me and the Ming Dynasty that he will completely rebel and abandon the proposal of his ancestors to me, Emperor Taizong, to become a minister? ?”
A series of questions made Naha Chuya change his expression.
Before he went on his mission, he asked Xi Ning to find out that the new emperor of Ming Dynasty was extremely cowardly. In addition, he had the instruction of the grand master, so he dared to be so arrogant and domineering.
But he didn't expect that his rude behavior not only did not make the new Ming Emperor angry, but actually took the initiative back in a few words.
People on the grassland always feared the strong. Seeing how powerful the Ming Emperor was, Nahazhu also became serious, leaned over again, and said.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Wala tribe only bows to the strong. His Majesty Emperor Taizong Wen of the Ming Dynasty is so powerful in Mobei that all the soldiers are his concubines. Every herdsman of the Wala tribe sincerely respects His Majesty Taizong."
"However, His Majesty Taizong no longer has the final say in the Ming Dynasty!"
Nahachu straightened up, his expression full of pride.
"Today's Wala is a subordinate of the Great Yuan Khan. Our Khan is a descendant of the great Golden Family, Tuo Tuo Bu Hua Khan."
"The Khan and the Grand Master have re-established the name of the Yuan Dynasty. Naha is here to represent the Great Yuan Khan's court and negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty."
With that said, Naha took out the letter of credence he had just given and unfolded it.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, this time I have been entrusted by the Grand Master to come to the Ming Dynasty as an envoy. As long as the Ming Dynasty accepts the three conditions proposed by the Grand Master, the Grand Master will immediately withdraw his troops, send your brother back to the capital, and make peace with the Ming Dynasty forever.
.”
Seeing the arrogant look of the Walat envoy, all the officials wanted to jump up and beat him again.
But considering that we were in the Fengtian Palace and His Majesty the Emperor was on top, we still held back.
However, what he said about sending the Supreme Emperor back to the capital still made the officials prick up their ears.
No matter how much they don't want to admit it, the fact is that the former emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and now His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, is holding it in their hands.
This is a great shame and humiliation. If we cannot welcome back the Supreme Emperor, this shame will never be washed away.
When Naha came out, he saw that there was silence all around, and he said with a trace of amusement on his face.
"These three conditions are..."
"First, I, the Tuotuo Buhua Khan, have restored the Great Yuan Dynasty to the Great Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty should recognize my Great Yuan Kingdom and declare reconciliation with my Great Yuan Dynasty."
"Second, open up the mutual trade between the two countries that has been closed to our Khan's court since the reign of Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty."
"Third, marry me, the noble daughter of Wala, who is also the sister of the first grand master, as a noble concubine of the Ming Dynasty, to show the reconciliation between the two countries."
There was still silence in the hall, but this time it was because of anger.
After hearing these words, a group of elders turned red in the face, trembled all over, and their gray beards tended to stand up straight.
However, at this moment, the emperor's calm voice came from above.
"Have you finished speaking, special envoy? Now that you've finished speaking, let's listen to my conditions!"
