In the Chonghua Hall, Ruan Lang raised his head and looked at the Supreme Emperor with his hands behind his back.

The Supreme Emperor did not look back, but Ruan Lang rarely heard a hint of self-respect in his tone.

Ruan Lang could understand where this self-respect came from.

Since the Tumu Campaign, the Supreme Emperor's affairs have been deeply affected.

Especially, after the emperor ascended the throne, everything went smoothly, all the people were safe, the world praised him, and the country's strength gradually recovered, it became even more obvious that the emperor who led hundreds of thousands of troops to defeat the battle and lost his troops and humiliated the country,

What a failure.

Now, although it was just a trivial matter, the Supreme Emperor finally found out again that he was better than the Emperor. How could he not be happy?

Although, in Ruan Lang's view, this so-called "sense of superiority" is not necessarily correct.

However, he also knew that it would be the stupidest thing to do to stop him at this time, so he could only bow and said.

"According to the decree."

Immediately, Ruan Lang left quietly, but when he stepped out of the palace door, he could not help but feel a trace of worry on his face.

It is true that he, a eunuch, cannot intervene in the struggle between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.

However, as far as the feeling of being seen through all the secrets every time he saw the emperor, he did not feel that today's emperor was like the emperor just commented, who would be trapped by a mere reputation and could not be ruled by anyone.

The decisive emperor.

He believed that the Emperor was also aware of this, but perhaps he was too eager to regain the sense of superiority in front of the Emperor, causing the Emperor to ignore this point intentionally or unintentionally.

However, as a bystander, Ruan Lang vaguely felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

However, even so, this is not something he can control.

Sighing and taking a deep look at the Chonghua Palace, Ruan Lang calmed down his emotions, put a smile on his face again, walked away from Nangong, and had no choice but to continue to do what the Supreme Emperor ordered...

It was almost dusk, and the sun hung heavily in the sky, reflecting the brilliant clouds with the afterglow of the setting sun.

In the lobby of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Hu, who should have gone home long ago, is unusually still sitting behind the table.

In front of him was a copy of Wala's credentials that had just been delivered, and at the bottom of the hall was the latest news brought by a Langguan.

"Uncle Uncle Zong, in the afternoon, the Supreme Emperor sent a decree and summoned Bodu and the envoys. The latest news just now is that in the Nangong Palace, the Supreme Emperor and Bodu had a very happy conversation, and a dinner was given."

News in the capital could never be concealed. What's more, such a big event as the Emperor summoning the Oara envoy had already spread throughout the entire court in just one afternoon.

However, even though there was a lot of discussion outside, it was only about the Emperor Yu's move of summoning the envoy. However, as the eldest uncle of the Ministry of Rites, Hu Hui saw something deeper and further.

especially……

Looking at the contents of the credentials spread out in front of him, Mr. Hu's expression became more and more complicated. After a moment, he sighed heavily, put the credentials on the eucalyptus away in his sleeves, and then said.

"Hand the sign, I want to enter the palace to see His Majesty!"

"ah?"

The official Lang below was a little dazed for a moment. You know, he was about to go to the office now. Entering the palace at this time? This is not in line with the old man's usual style...

However, after taking a look at Hu Xi's face at this moment, the Lang Guan wisely did not ask any more questions and just hurried down to do his work.

At the same time, in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qiyu did not prepare to go back to the harem for dinner as usual. Instead, he stood at the palace gate, looking at the brilliant clouds on the horizon, as if waiting for something.

"Your Majesty, Hu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is outside asking for an audience."

Hua En's cautious voice sounded behind him, and Zhu Qiyu turned his gaze back with a somewhat inexplicable look on his face, as if he was talking to himself, saying.

"finally come……"

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Qiyu continued to speak and said.

"Summon Hu Hu to the Wenhua Palace, and also summon Yu Qian from the Ministry of War, and King Ao of the Cabinet to see him."

"yes!"

Huaien stepped back gently, and Zhu Qiyu turned around and looked in the direction of Nangong in the distance, his clothes flying around, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I've met Uncle Zong..."

In the side hall of Wenhua Hall, Hu Hui was sitting aside, closing his eyes and concentrating. The door of the hall was slowly pushed open, and Yu Qian and Wang Ao had already rushed over to say hello.

Seeing the two of them entering the door, Hu Hui was stunned subconsciously. Then, as if he had thought of something, he pinched the credentials in his sleeve and nodded to the two of them.

Seeing this situation, Yu Qian and Wang Ao looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

It seems that Uncle Zong is not in a good mood...

However, before the two of them could ask, the palace door was pushed open again, and Wynn stepped in and cupped his hands.

"Gentlemen, Your Majesty has summoned you!"

So, they had no choice but to swallow their words and follow Wynn to the Wenhua Hall.

"I will see you, Your Majesty!"

On the throne of the emperor, the emperor was wearing a green long robe with five claws and golden dragon patterns over the shoulders. He raised his empty hand and said.

"Your Majesty, please excuse me and take a seat!"

So, a few servants moved the pillars and led a few people to sit down. Then, the emperor said.

"Just now, Dazong Bodi came to see me and said that he had received the certificate of credence from Wala. I guessed that since Bodu had kept the certificate of credence for so long, there must be something visible in the certificate, so I immediately And we called Mr. Yu and the first assistant over to listen."

After the words fell, a look of understanding flashed across the faces of Yu Qian and Wang Ao, but Hu Hui's expression was a little more complicated.

However, at this point, there was no other way out. Hu Laoshangshu sighed, took out the certificate of nationality from his sleeve, and handed it over.

The chamberlain took the letter of credence and handed it to the emperor. Zhu Qiyu opened it and looked at it. His face was slightly surprised, and soon became a little strange.

Yu Qian and others were confused by this change.

Immediately, they heard the emperor speak.

"A good news or a bad news, which one do you two gentlemen want to hear first?"

The emperor said this calmly, but the fact that the emperor could say this showed that the matter was not serious, at least, it was not what they had been worried about.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the palace became a little more relaxed, and Yu Qian spoke.

"It's better to hear the good news first!"

So, the emperor said: "The good news is that although this letter of credence is called the letter of credence, it was not written by Tuotuo Buhua, but was sent first. In the letter of credence, the attitude was very respectful, and

I have accused Tuotuo Buhua of intruding on the borders of the Ming Dynasty and annexing various grassland tribes during this period, and requested that the Ming Dynasty issue an edict to reprimand Tuotuo Buhua and restrict his behavior."

It’s really good news!

As soon as the words fell, a big stone in Yu Qian's heart finally fell to the ground.

This time, the Oara mission suddenly arrived, and many people in the DPRK were worried that this was a prelude to another war.

Although in the palace that day, Yang Hong, the Marquis of Changping, had already made a judgment and would definitely not dare to continue to invade the south. However, it was still unknown whether he would be coerced by Tuo Tuo Bu Hua.

Now, at least according to the credentials, it does not mean this. This is of course good news.

However, Yu Qian was not dazzled by the news and continued to ask.

"What about the bad news?"

The emperor's expression straightened, he knocked on the credentials in front of him and said.

"The bad news is that it is said in the letter of credence that the five major Tatar tribes are plotting to annex Oara. During this period of time, they were trading with each other and looting the border to prepare supplies for the unification of the grassland. At this time,

The mission was actually sent to ask for help!"

Sure enough!

As early as when they learned that the envoy was coming to Beijing, the ministers had guessed that if Wala did not have the intention of invading the south, then there was a high probability that they were here to ask for help.

So……

"Your Majesty, how can Daming help him first?"

After pondering for a moment, Yu Qian asked first.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at the certificate of credence and immediately spoke.

"He hoped that the Ming Dynasty would stop trading with Tatars and open trade with Oara, and asked me to issue an order to the Seven Guards of Kansai to open the connection between Oara and the Western Regions, and at the same time send 50,000 troops into the grasslands to help Oara and Tatars.

The five major tribes of Tartar went to war."

After the words fell, everyone present except Hu Hui was stunned.

This condition... I really dare to say it!

Stop the mutual trade with Tatar, open the mutual trade with Oara, open the western region channel, and send troops into the grassland to help Oara attack the Tatars.

Any of these four conditions alone would be extremely difficult to achieve.

You must know that the original mutual trade with the Tatars was personally promoted by the emperor in order to reverse the situation in the War of Oara. In a sense, Tuo Tuo Bu Hua helped the Ming Dynasty at that time.

Even if we don't talk about things like reneging on promises and being ungrateful, stopping the mutual market at this time will definitely make Tuotuo Buhua feel that Ming has not kept his word, which will directly lead to the deterioration of the relationship between the two parties.

Furthermore, during this period of time, the Imperial Store was operating in very good condition. Under the supervision of the Emperor, a large number of goods were traded, which provided the court with high taxes and quickly filled the national treasury.

It can be said that if it were not for the benefits brought by the mutual market, it would have been difficult for the imperial court to recover its vitality in the past two years. Major projects such as canals would have been out of the question.
