Outside the palace gate, under the scorching sun, several Mongolian envoys in costumes were staying there extremely impatiently, moving around from time to time, and they looked really embarrassed when they were already sweating.

Because today they came to negotiate with the Ming Emperor on behalf of the various ministries of the grassland, they all wore the solemn and complicated clothes that they would only change on festivals in the past. Not only are these clothes thick, but they also wrap the whole person. And now, in May, although it is not as hot as in later generations, the summer is not light, and it is hot to stand under the sun for a while, not to mention that they are dressed so solemnly and thickly, it looks like they are in a sauna.

In fact, these Mongolian envoys were not bad when they first arrived in front of the palace gate, and the weather was not so hot. But who would have thought that there would be no movement in it for a long time, and they would not be called in? Seeing that it was past noon, and they were left out and ignored, these Mongolian envoys really couldn't hold back.

"Gulica, do you think that those Han people are deliberately making things difficult for us, wanting to see our jokes and see us make a fool of ourselves?" A black-faced man asked their envoy impatiently.

Gulitsa also had a dark face, gritted his teeth and said, "I think it's eighty percent." I inquired earlier, and their Ming Dynasty did not hold such a long meeting. And just now, many Ming officials have left the palace, this must be their emperor making it ugly! ”

"How can this be true? These Han people are really insidious, and we are going to be tricked by them again! Another hatefully spoke: "Why don't I just break in?" ”

"I'm afraid it won't work." Although Gulitsa was annoyed, there was still this judgment: "There are hundreds of people guarding the gate of the palace, and we will only fall for their tricks if we break in." ”

"So we're just going to wait? But when? ”

"I'll negotiate with them, and if there's no more response, we'll go back!" Gulitsa gritted his teeth and said as if he were ruthless. Then, he strode towards the palace gate.

The forbidden guards in front of the door saw that these Mongolian people were muttering there for a long time, and then someone came towards them with a gloomy face, and their hearts were also tight, and they quickly clenched the weapons in their hands, and their faces were full of vigilance. It's just that the words on his lips are quite polite: "What does the envoy have to say?" ”

"Let me ask you, has your emperor not seen us yet? How long has it been, or you will let us in, and we will go to see your emperor!" Gulitsa said in a Han official dialect that was not too skilled.

The forbidden army officer guarding the palace gate immediately shook his head: "How can you break into the palace gate at will?" Your Majesty is still discussing matters with the people of the DPRK and China, so please wait a little longer. ”

"For a moment...... Another moment, how many moments I've been waiting! Are you kidding me? Gulitsa immediately shouted, and as he spoke, he took a step forward, as if he really meant to break in.

When those forbidden soldiers saw this, they were also stunned, and they raised their weapons one after another, and reprimanded: "Bold, how can you roar at will in front of the palace gate!" ”

Seeing this, the Mongolian envoy team over there also hurried over, holding the handle of the saber at his waist, and he had the intention of going forward to fight. It's just that they also know that if they really want to make a move in this place, they will definitely only suffer from it, so they are just making a statement, or bluffing.

Just when the two sides were tense and the situation seemed to be about to break out, a proclamation came from inside: "Your Majesty has a decree, and the envoy of the Xuanmeng people will enter the palace to meet you!" Soon after, a little eunuch ran out quickly: "Where is the envoy of the Mongols?" The slave maid was ordered to lead them in......" As soon as the words came out, he saw this scene in front of the palace gate, and in surprise, the words behind him were swallowed back alive.

However, his appearance eased the atmosphere of the scene, and after both sides of the confrontation were stunned, they both put down their weapons in disdain. Since they are allowed to enter the palace, there is naturally no need to turn their faces again.

It was only very soon that the problem arose. Originally, Gulitsa and they planned to enter the palace together, but in the end, the will inside only announced that he was the only one to enter, which meant that the others could only continue to wait outside with the sun on their heads, which made them very dissatisfied. Well, I made it so solemn, and I came to bask in the sun for a long time, but I couldn't even enter the palace, what is it?

But after all, this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the important palace of the Ming Dynasty, even if they are dissatisfied, they can only abide by the rules here. In the end, Gulitsa had no choice but to compromise, leaving the others to wait outside, and he himself followed the little eunuch into the majestic palace gate.

However, along the way, Gurica still felt a little aggrieved, because the little eunuch had only reached his shoulder, and his steps were much smaller than his, and he could only follow behind him with some difficulty. The only thing worth consoling is that the scenery in the palace is really good, looking at the magnificent, row upon row of palaces, it is also a kind of insight for him who has only seen the scenery of the grassland.

Even, he had an idea in his heart, if one day the Taishi could lead them to break through Beijing, seize the palace, and let himself gallop in it, how good would it feel......

Thinking so crankily, the two finally came to the front of the Wenhua Palace. The little eunuch hurriedly took a few steps to report to the forbidden army guarding the door of the temple, and the latter turned around and spread the news. After a while, a shrill voice came from inside: "The envoy of the Mongolian people, Guricha, entered the temple to see him." ”

After hearing this, Gulitsa was relieved. He was really afraid that the other party would continue to throw him out and wait for a while. But then, he muttered again: "Trouble, wouldn't it be better to let me in directly?" Then he marched toward the temple with his head held high.

Because of the extremely bright sunlight outside, when entering the shady Wenhua Palace, Gu Licha only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he could only see the scene inside clearly for a long time. He found that there were indeed dozens of Ming State officials standing in this hall, and they were looking at him with complicated eyes at this moment. And at the top of facing him, there was a young man in a dragon robe, who looked much younger than the captive emperor - Zhu Qizhen had suffered so much at the hands of the Mongolian people, and he was frightened, although it was only a few months, he had been old for more than ten years.

Although Gu Licha wanted to ask the other party in a daze, you are the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty? But he still knew some etiquette, and he didn't say it in the end, but just stroked his chest and bent over, and said with a etiquette on the grassland: "Gu Licha, the commander of ten thousand men under the account of the Taishi Warat, has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Excuse me." Although the other party did not bow to him, Zhu Qiyu did not pursue it too much, but just waved his hand generously. Then, he first said a few words about the scene, and then he got to the point: "I don't know what your envoy is doing when he sees me today?" ”

Hearing this, Gulitsa was obviously stunned for a moment, didn't their emperor know his intentions? Sure enough, the Han people are treacherous...... He had no choice but to tell him again about the fact that he had ordered him to come to negotiate with Ming Guo and ask them to pay to redeem Zhu Qizhen.

The same words, coming from the mouth of this rude Mongolian envoy, caused a burst of dissatisfaction among the surrounding ministers. If they weren't still in the palace at this time, and they were proud of their identity, someone would have scolded them a long time ago.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I heard that the former Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who is now in our hands is your elder brother, so you would rather see him suffer from us than give some money to exchange him back, right? And we have already made great concessions, and now we only need 800,000 taels of silver to return him safely, which should be just a drop in the bucket for you Daming. Gurica continued.

"Bold, you're blackmail!" An official finally couldn't bear it anymore, and jumped out and reprimanded: "Since the founding of Taizu, my Ming Dynasty has never sold even one or two lines of silver to foreign enemies, let alone these hundreds of thousands of taels!" ”

This was quickly echoed by many people. Although everyone had actually acquiesced to this just now, as soon as the anger came up, they changed their minds again. Of course, some people also hold that His Majesty already has an idea anyway, and he can still fight for the name of loyalty by doing this, so why not open his mind.

In the face of the turbulent crowd, Gu Licha didn't see a trace of panic, but just smiled: "It seems that you Ming people are really ruthless." If such a thing happens to us on the grassland, even if the enemy asks for anything, we will do our best to meet the safety of our own relatives. ”

As soon as he said this, the ministers suddenly stopped. Because these words were obviously aimed at the Son of Heaven, accusing him of ignoring brotherly love, and they didn't dare to participate in such a heavenly affair.

Moreover, as far as they know, in fact, the Son of Heaven has already made a decision, and since he has shown it, he will wait for the final result. Only some officials, who are well aware of the emptiness of the treasury, seem to be worried at this time.

After all, brotherly love is difficult to give up, and what is even more difficult is the folk saying, so the Son of Heaven must be in a dilemma at this time. If you ignore the danger of your brother An, it will definitely be true now and in the future, and it will even be criticized in the history books.

But if he is really succeeded, the current situation of Daming will inevitably worsen, and as the Son of Heaven, he will still be blamed by others. It can be said that this is a complete dead end, and perhaps dragging it out as before is the best way to deal with it.

Zhu Qiyu's face also showed embarrassment, and many courtiers were ashamed, but they couldn't help much in this matter.

Finally, after a long period of entanglement, the Son of Heaven spoke......
