Kuaima sent Zhang Juzheng's express message to the capital early the next morning, and at that time, the city 'gate' had not yet been opened, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city 'gate' hoisted the messenger from the city 'gate' to the city 'gate' upstairs, and arranged for the fast horse to send the messenger to the Donghua 'gate'.

As soon as the 'guards' of Donghua's 'gate' heard that it was a recital from Xuanfu, how dare they be lazy, and directly sent the messenger to the celebrant supervisor, Feng Bao didn't get up 'bed', but when he heard that it was Zhang Juzheng's recital, he hurriedly put on his clothes and came to the Qianqing Palace with the recital, and at this time the emperor was just about to get up 'bed' and was about to wash, and he reported to the little eunuch in the morning that Feng Bao had brought Zhang Juzheng from Xuanfu's recital, and hurriedly called for a meeting

After Feng Bao came in with the notebook, the emperor shouted before he finished his salute: "Hurry up and give me Master Zhang's notebook."

The little eunuch took the notebook from Feng Bao's hand and handed it to Ming Muzong, who opened the notebook and read it, and said to Feng Bao: "Gonggong Feng, you go to pass the decree today's morning, and suspend the officials above the six 'servants' to come to the Qianqing Palace, here to meet and discuss the transcript of Lord Zhang."

Now Chen Jiu pretended to be unconscious, only Su Si served Su Si in front of the emperor, Su Si was far worse than Chen Jiulai, Chen Jiu could usually pay attention to Ming Muzong, but Su Si couldn't, it's not that the emperor doesn't trust him, it's not that Su Si is not as smart as Chen Jiu, the main reason is that the emperor relies on Chen Jiu and is used to it, and now he still has to save some majesty for Su Si and Ming Muzong

"Su Si, you go and arrange for them to serve me and wash up for a while, it's time for the ministers to come."

After Ming Muzong had washed up, those officials above the six 'servants' also arrived in the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor asked Su Si to give them a seat, and said: "Zhong Aiqing, Lord Zhang's recital has arrived, and now Lord Zhang has sent the preliminary results of the negotiation in the recital, let us have an idea, Su Si, you read the recital to all the adults."

Su Si read Zhang Juzheng's recital again, there was silence below, no one spoke first, now they generally wait for the cabinet to speak first, and the next can speak, this is the minimum etiquette, Ming Muzong saw that everyone didn't speak, so he had to order: "Master Gao, Lord Li, you talk first, see if Lord Zhang's recital needs to be modified."

Gao Gong saw that Mu Zong spoke, and knew that he couldn't be silent, and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang's recital, the old minister, thinks that the second article is not very appropriate, if it is a big open market, let the 'Mongolian' ancients obtain our materials, and treat them to be strong and strong, don't continue to come to 'disturb' our old ministers, in the eyes of this matter, we can't be hasty, please ask the emperor to think carefully, my army has arrived in Xuanfu, and I am not afraid of what kind of wind and 'waves' the 'Meng' ancients will set off, how can our dignified Heavenly Empire show weakness to that little alien race."

There are a few cronies of Gao Gong below, and they also echoed Gao Gong and said that they could not show weakness, but most of them did not speak, everyone was the 'fine' of the Ming Dynasty, how could Ying not see the pros and cons of this, Zhang Juzheng had said very clearly, and the iron tools could be controlled, so that the 'Meng' ancients would not be bigger, but Gao Gong was still a little 'selfish' and was making trouble, and he didn't want Zhang Juzheng to take over this great work, so he came out to obstruct it

"Lord Gao, Lord Zhang has already said very clearly, the imperial court can control the sale of iron weapons, we are just opening up those daily necessities, we still have to have a limit on what the 'Mongolian' ancients must have, now Altan Khan, Chen Bing, 200,000 under the city of Xuanfu, the war is about to break out, Lord Gao, do you think our Beijing army of 100,000 can resist the 200,000 iron cavalry of the 'Mongolian' ancients," Li 'Chun' Fang retorted

"Master Li, are you afraid of the 'Meng' ancients, don't forget that we still have the tall city wall of Xuanfu as a cover, the 'Meng' ancients didn't have siege equipment, how to break through, and when they ran out of ammunition and food, they naturally withdrew their troops, how could my dignified Heavenly Empire compromise with the 'Mongolian' ancients."

"Lord Gao, this is not a compromise, this is a negotiation, how is it beneficial to our dynasty, we will do it, you don't see that the terms of the negotiation of Lord Zhang are completely beneficial to our Ming Dynasty, if this negotiation succeeds to ensure the security of our northern Xinjiang, the imperial court can have the financial resources to develop the domestic economy, and the war for many years has caused great harm to the soldiers and people at the border gates, we still have to take the road of peace, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight are the best policy," Li 'Chun' Fang talked eloquently, and Gao Gong was speechless, and Gao Gong did not think of Li, who has always been known for not coming out. Chun' Fang turned out to be blatantly against herself this time

There are also a few of Zhang Juzheng's cronies who stood up and echoed Li 'Chun' Fang's statement to support Zhang Juzheng's negotiation conditions, and the two factions are debating, and now the focus of their debate is no longer the mutual market issue that Zhang Juzheng said, but the first article of Zhang Juzheng is to reward Hannaji, Zhang Juzheng proposed that the imperial court officially grant Hannaji the official position of the Ming Dynasty, so that Altan Khan will not dare to persecute him, if Altan Khan does not take action against Hannaji, the Ming Dynasty can have a reason to sanction the 'Mongolian' ancients or send troops

If the emperor can also give Altan Khan a reward, if Altan Khan accepts the reward of the Ming Dynasty, then the 'Mongolian' ancients will be the subject of the Ming Dynasty, but I don't know if Altan Khan can accept it

Gao Gong also said: "If Altan Khan is really sincere, then accept our dynasty as the suzerain, be named the prince of my dynasty, and pay tribute every year, if we don't agree to it, we can't exchange markets with them."

As soon as these words fell, there was no support for it, and there was another controversy in the hall

The two sides argued for a long time, Ming Muzong was also impatient and said: "Don't say it now, listening to your debate, I also have a bottom in my heart, for the reward of the ancients is still necessary, it is an official position, and we don't give them any money, it is a false position, why not, if you can really make the border pass peaceful from now on, this is also a good thing, I decided to seal me as the king of Shunyi, and his disciples, sons and leaders of various departments are all given the governor, command, Thousands of households and other officials made Hannaji the commander of the capital, and rewarded them with a thousand gold, and asked them to pay a tribute every year for a period of two months, and the little prince should pay no more than 500 horses, and the tribute should not exceed 150, and the horse market should be opened in Datong, Xuanfu, Yansui, Ningxia, Gansu and other border areas, and 11 mutual markets were traded, and as for the scattered terms, there were Li Daren and Gao Daren who went back now and immediately discussed it, and they must be given to me before noon today, and the fast horse must depart tomorrow morning to Xuanfu, if anyone delays the negotiation of Lord Zhang, I will not spare it."

Ming Muzong's decision also gave Zhang Juzheng a big difficulty, if Altan Khan did not agree to accept the conditions of the imperial court, then the negotiations broke down, and the two sides came to the road of confrontation, if they agreed, then 'Mongolian' was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and since then the north has been less of this big threat

As soon as everyone saw that the emperor had spoken, they couldn't argue now, so they had to retreat and go back to negotiate the terms

After the minister left, Ming Muzong asked Su Si: "How did you investigate the assassination of Lord Zhang at the post station?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is now investigated by Shuntianfu and Dongchang, yesterday afternoon, the people of Shuntianfu found the post station in the woods a few miles away from the post station, the original post station personnel were killed, and now there is no clue, those assassins sent are all original horse thieves, and they don't know the inside story inside, vaguely, as if this matter is related to the Lan family's traitors."

"Okay, you go back and tell Chen Jiu to hurry up and handle this case, see if there are any ministers in the court, and notify me in time if there is a new situation."

Early the next morning, we were still asleep, the fast horse in the capital had arrived in Xuanfu, Wang Chonggu received the emperor's decree, and hurried to find Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng saw the book, a hanging heart fell to the ground, and said to Wang Chonggu: "Your Majesty Lord Wang is still wise, did not receive the 'adulterous' evil villain's 'bewitchment', agreed to the terms, and also named Altan Khan as the king of Shunyi, and since then there has been nothing to do."

"Lord Zhang, this thing is good, but Altan Khan will not refuse, if he refuses, then it is not everything, and he has to start from scratch, after all, he is a courtier of my dynasty, and the emperor still asks for tribute, isn't it difficult for a strong man?"

"Forget it, Lord Wang, no matter what, the emperor is also here now, and we will do our best, no matter what Altan Khan thinks, after all, we have also arrested Zhao Quan, who is the biggest threat to my Ming Dynasty, if Altan Khan does not agree to negotiate, we will not suffer, it is not that he is running with a strong army, and he can't steal the 'chicken', and I don't lose the rice, I think the probability of him agreeing is a little higher, now." The situation over there is very bad, their sheep, horses and cattle can't be sold, and the herdsmen are still counting on the reopening of the mutual market this time, or to exchange for some daily necessities, and now Altan Khan is also riding a tiger, we are trying to get Altan Khan to accept our conditions, Lord Wang, today Altan Khan came to Xuanfu to negotiate, you have to prepare wine and food, and invite the best chef in Xuanfu to come and guard the work, you must do a good job, I think it is better to be under martial law on the street, my people have a great hatred for everyone, and they can't let them do anything stupid."

"Don't worry, Lord Zhang, I've arranged all of this, martial law on the street, idle people, etc., are not allowed to come out, but Altan Khan saw Hannaji, I saw Hannaji last night, I didn't want to see Altan Khan, and I didn't want to go back, it's a bit tricky."

"Lord Wang, whether Hannaji agrees or disagrees, you have to let Altan Khan meet with him, as for whether Altan Khan can invite him back, then it is not our problem, if you don't see Altan Khan, I think we are blocking Hannaji back, so now you first stabilize Hannaji and wait for Altan Khan to come, and directly let Altan Khan see Hannaji himself, I think 'Meng' the ancients are no matter how ignorant they are, and family affection is the best 'medicine', Fang Altan Khan has been a king for so many years, mainly because he does not have this 'mind' and this 'Meng' ancients are not to worry”
