Sure enough, the old and sophisticated Hami King Nahuri had already guessed that his younger brother was sowing discord, since he had agreed to form an alliance with the Su State, it would be tantamount to offending the Uighurs, and if he was doing something stupid to offend the Su State, it would be purely dead, waved his hand to stop Ankh Timur, and said lightly with an impatient look on him: "Okay, the envoy is a guest from afar, and we must treat each other with courtesy." ”

Zhou Sheng glanced at Anke Timur with a smug face, his expression had a hint of provocation, and he arched his hand at King Hami, Nahuri, and said: "King Hami is really a person who understands righteousness, and our Royal Highness King Su really did not see the wrong person." ”

This high hat is not too clever, and Zhou Sheng only said a few polite words, and did not think about deliberately trying to please this Hami king.

The corners of Hami's mouth rose slightly, and he said with a very perfunctory expression: "The envoy has won the prize, and the envoy has come from afar, what is the matter?" ”

Zhou Sheng took out a letter of state from his sleeve, stretched out his hand and handed it forward, as if he was an angel of the kingdom, and said: "This envoy sent to Hami this time, firstly, to discuss with His Royal Highness the King of Hami the specific details of the alliance between your two countries, and secondly, to propose marriage for the King of Su of my family, and ask His Royal Highness the King of Hami to marry the princess Shao'an of your country to our King Su, and the two countries will become good for Qin and Jin and will never invade." ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a lot of commotion among the ministers, especially the generals of the Hami Kingdom, almost all of them showed dissatisfaction on their faces, most of them were admirers of Princess Shao'an, and they all wanted to rely on their own courage to gain the favor of the princess, and then protect her for life, today, the envoy of the Su Kingdom actually wanted Princess Shao'an, who existed like a goddess in their minds, to marry King Su, which was tantamount to taking away their love. To tell the truth, they would rather everyone die in battle than give up the princess to another country.

Ankh Timur, who had long wanted to establish his prestige among the generals, saw this scene, lost no time in standing up and shouted: "Ridiculous! I heard that your King Su has already married several mothers-in-law, do you want our noble Princess Shao'an of Hami Kingdom to be a little wife for others? ”

Although Ankh Timur had stumbled with Di Lina in the court before, he was Di Linazar's uncle after all, and no one would take it seriously if he raised a few words between his uncle and nephew. Now when the generals saw that he was the first to stand up against Di Linazha's marriage, their hearts were very happy, and they all followed behind him and coaxed: "Yes, yes." How can our princess be a little wife for someone else! ”

The Mongols do not have so many false courtesies among the Han people, and the generals are all rough Mongolian men, and they are more casual in their words and actions, and they immediately ignore the fact that the envoys of the Ming Su State are still here, and they all shouted at the Hami King Nahuli: "The king, Lord Anke is right, we can't wronged the princess, isn't this the king of Su deceiving me There is no one in the Hami country?" ”

He was a very greedy old man, who coveted the huge benefits brought by the Ming Dynasty, and was unwilling to offend the strong neighbor of the Uighurs, so he pretended to be embarrassed and said to Zhou Sheng: "Envoy of Zhou, is what the younger brother said true? Does King Su already have a queen? ”

Zhou Sheng knew that he was knowingly asking, and despised the cunning King Hami in his heart, but on the surface, he still replied with a straight face: "Not bad." The queen of my kingdom was personally appointed by the son of today, and no one can change it. My king Su said that as long as Princess Shao'an is willing to marry, Su Guo will never treat her badly. ”

The reason why he chose to form an alliance with Su Guo was that in addition to being optimistic about Zhu Ao's own ability, the more important thing was to hug Zhu Yuanzhang's big thick legs, but he was not sure that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was shining, would stretch out his legs to hug him, after all, he also felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's interest in the northwest was not too great, otherwise he would not dare to instigate other tribes to attack Su Guo together.

The old Zhu Yuan was in Nanjing, but the Uighurs were close at hand, and in order to blindly curry favor with the Ming Dynasty, it was really not cost-effective to offend the strong enemy in front of him. After all, people are creatures that are easy to be ungrateful, but easy to hold grudges.

In case the Uighur Khan's black sons were really provoked by himself and sent troops to attack him, would Zhu Yuanzhang, who was far away in Nanjing, support him? There was a big question mark in the heart of the king of Hami, after all, it would cost a lot of money to transport the army's grain and grass to such a far place in the northwest, and Lao Zhu, who had always been slammering, would not necessarily spend so much for their small place in Hami.

Therefore, it is better for people to leave a way back for themselves, and after thinking about this matter clearly, King Hami made up his mind in his heart, and with his right hand he wielded his beard, and said in a plain but proud tone: "Although our country is small, it is not a weak state that is bullied by others. Princess Shao An is the pearl of this king, and this king will never let her be a concubine for others. ”

When these words were spoken, the generals of Hami were full of enthusiasm again, and they all raised their fists and shouted in the lobby: "The king is wise! Don't let his country bully me, Hami has no one! The ministers are willing to defend Her Royal Highness the princess and defend the dignity of the Hami Kingdom to the death! ”

Zhou Sheng is also an old bureaucrat, the people who can become old bureaucrats in China are all people who are so good that their heads are smoking, how can they not know what the Hami King Nahuri is planning, it is useless to say anything at the moment, this old fox will definitely not let go, so he has to find a way to cut off all his back roads, and when the time comes, he will see if he has anything to say, he immediately arched his hand and said in a tone that is not salty or light: "Since King Hami is so conceited, the messenger will no longer say anything." This envoy came from afar, and now he only feels tired, so he will go back to the post house to rest first, and the details of the alliance will be discussed later. ”

Hami King Na suddenly glanced at Zhou Sheng coldly, put on an indifferent posture, waved his hand, and said lightly: "Please send the messenger back to the post house to rest, don't slack off." ”

Zhou Sheng arched his hand again, didn't talk nonsense with King Hami again, shook off his robe, turned around and walked away.

After returning to the post house, the deputy head of the mission this time, who was also the head of the mission's guard, Kang Shikai of Qianhu, approached Zhou Sheng and asked a little eagerly: "Lord Zhou, how are things going?" ”

Zhou Sheng shook his head gently, frowned, sighed, and said, "There is no big problem with the alliance. It was just a matter of harmony, and the old fellow refused to let go, and it seemed that he was planning to marry his daughter to the Uighurs, and to curry favor with both sides. ”
