Chapter 659: Who's going to deliver the letter

Facts have proved that the impact of Hari Zhula being included in the palace by the Ming Emperor has already been done.

Huang Taiji's marriage to win over Konggol, the right-wing Mongol leader of Horqin, has already illustrated this.

But they had nothing to do but do their best.

And after this incident passed, the surviving Horqin people, including Horqin nobles such as Manzhu Xili, only remembered that the Ming army came from Rehebao, and the general who led the team was called Cao Wenzhao.

As for Niu Juming, the strategist behind the scenes, except for Daming's side, few people in Horqin knew about his existence, and no one knew about the role he played in it.

It is precisely because of this that after Manzhu Xili met Niu Juming in the urn city in the military capital, he not only did not have any resentment and anger for Niu Juming's warm greetings, but felt a long-lost flattery.

But what he never expected was that when Huang Taiji led a large army to settle in Huailai City, not far north of Yongguan, his imaginary opponent, that is, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire himself, was actually in the Guancheng of Juyongguan!

Until this time, Manzhu Xili, who had always believed that Huang Taiji was destined for heaven and would also win this time, suddenly had an "ominous" premonition in his heart.

Let's say that Niu Juming finished saying those words in Yongsheng Building, whether it is Emperor Chongzhen himself, or the close ministers around Emperor Chongzhen at this time, in fact, they already know the identity of this Manzhu Xili.

Although it was a little awkward to meet on such an occasion, Emperor Chongzhen still said: "Announce him in!" ”

Niu Juming hurriedly got up, and then came to the door and put on a gesture of please, Manzhu Xili slightly sorted out the Horqin people's clothes on his body, forced himself to stabilize his mind, crossed the threshold, and strode into the house.

Then, without thinking about it, he followed behind Niu Juming, knelt down, and saluted.

At this time, the civil officials and military ministers in the room breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere suddenly eased a lot, and they were no longer tense and glaring angrily.

The question of etiquette when meeting the Son of Heaven has always been a big problem when dealing with all kinds of Yi people who are not of our race.

Fortunately, the Chongzhen Emperor in front of him never took this issue seriously, and the Manzhu Xili who came to send the letter was also very cooperative, and followed Niu Juming all the way, and he did what Niu Juming did.

Seeing that Manzhu Xili performed the etiquette, Emperor Chongzhen immediately said: "Manzhu Xili, the slave chief Huangtaiji sent you to knock here, what is the matter?" ”

Manzhu Xili had just recovered from the huge shock of learning that the young man in front of him was Emperor Chongzhen, and at this time he suddenly listened to Emperor Chongzhen's question, and the Chinese language he usually learned could be said to have forgotten nine out of ten sentences, and there was one sentence stuck in his throat that he couldn't get out.

It wasn't until Wu Weiying, the envoy of the Imperial Court who was on the emperor's side, repeated the emperor's original words loudly in Mongolian again, that Manzhu Xili reacted and hurriedly said:

"On the order of the Emperor of the Dajin Kingdom, the minister of Saibei sent a letter of national peace to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

"If the two countries can refer to the example of Chahar in the future, the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom is willing to choose a place with His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and swear to coexist peacefully forever!"

Manzhu Xili stammered and said according to the script, after Huang Taiji taught him that set of rhetoric, he felt nervous.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally went to Juyongguan to sit in the town, which shows that Huang Taiji led the army to invade the Southern Dynasty This matter is absolutely impossible to be good.

Huang Taiji, who wants to use such a letter in exchange for a whole body, may have miscalculated.

After Wu Weiying translated Manzhu Xili's Mongolian into Chinese and told Emperor Chongzhen and the ministers around the emperor, Manzhu Xili hurriedly raised a letter with both hands.

Cao Huachun personally stepped forward and took the letter written by Huang Taiji to Emperor Chongzhen, and then respectfully handed it to the emperor.

Fortunately, Huang Taiji's letter is written in Chinese, and it is a neat and neat pavilion style.

Emperor Chongzhen took the letter, read it quickly at a glance and ten lines, and then handed the letter back to Cao Huachun in his hand, signaling him to pass it on to the other civil and military ministers present to circulate, and said to Niu Juming: "The messenger is running hard, and the cowherd is properly settled!" ”

Niu Juming hurriedly received the order, stepped forward to help Manzhu Xili up, and was about to take him away.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen said to Manzhu Xili: "Manzhu Xili, your sister Hailanzhu is very worried about you, according to my meaning, now that you have the fate to come to Juyongguan to meet me, it is better to go until I am the master of the Ming Dynasty for a period of time, in order to relieve my sister's homesickness!" ”

When Manzhu Xili heard this, his body suddenly froze, and he thought that he would complete his mission after delivering the letter, but he immediately knew that it might be easy to come, but it would be difficult to leave.

But after being stunned for a moment, Manzhu Xili still turned around, once again solemnly saluted, thanked him, and followed Niu Juming to leave the Yongsheng Building at the head of the north pass of Juyong Pass.

At this time, the other civil and military ministers in Yongsheng Building had also finished reading the so-called national letter of Huang Taiji brought by Manzhu Xili.

Looking at the accompanying courtiers with different expressions, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Have you finished reading the national letter of the slave chief Huang Taiji?" Let's talk about it! What are the thoughts! ”

Wu Weiying, the envoy of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court who had just temporarily served as the translator, immediately said: "The slave chief is simply delusional! With his remote corner of the wilderness, how can he vainly try to be a big country with our Great Tomorrow Dynasty?!

"Now that Lin Dan Khan has fled westward, there is no owner in the land of Monan, and its land is close to the Ming Dynasty, so the reason why this day gave me the Ming Dynasty is also! How can I, the Ming Dynasty, give up this heaven-sent land to others?! ”

The ministers who can follow the emperor to Juyong Pass are all hand-picked by Emperor Chongzhen, and they think they are okay ministers who can understand their own minds.

Now this Emperor Chongzhen will not be idle and find guilt for himself, and he brought a group of professional trolls such as the imperial historians, scholars, and scholars to this place.

Therefore, as soon as Wu Weiying finished saying this, Yongsheng Building was full of echoes.

In the end, Xu Guangqi, who accidentally became the only cabinet minister in the car, said: "Not to mention the feud between Donglu and my Ming Dynasty!" Just this time, the Dongyu broke through our border pass, destroyed our city, looted the two places of Datong Xuanfu, and hundreds of people suffered.

"What's more, the situation in Saibei is very different from the past, although Lin Dan Khan and his people are rude, but they are addicted to wine and focus on the inside, and their subordinates know nomadism and do not produce, although Lin Dan Khan is known as the king of captivity, but Chahar is losing strength!"

"However, now Lin Dan Khan is running west, and the east is in charge of Monan, if the Ming Dynasty is indifferent or even stands by, it was still called the Taiping Datong and Xuanfu in the past, and it will be like Liaodong in the future, and there will be no peace!

"Besides, this time the Dongyu entered our mainland from the killing of Hukou, which is the first thing that has been tasted for decades since the rise of the Liao Affair! With this experience, I can no longer coexist between Ming and Jianyu! ”

Xu Guangqi's words were more endorsed by the Chinese military ministers of Yongshenglou.

Huang Taiji wanted to sign an alliance under the city, on the condition that the Ming Dynasty recognized Huang Taiji's conquest of Mongolia, in exchange for the retreat of Jianyu, and then ruled with the Ming Dynasty side by side with the Great Wall as the boundary, one for the Northern Dynasty and the other for the Southern Dynasty.

This is, of course, wishful thinking.

Emperor Chongzhen originally had no intention of negotiating peace with Huang Taiji, and immediately recognized Xu Guangqi's statement.

However, since Huang Taiji sent an envoy, this side of the Ming Dynasty can't always do without contact, reply, or respond as usual, so just act as if nothing happened.

After all, it is necessary to send someone over to give Huang Taiji an answer.

Emperor Chongzhen said this meaning and asked for the opinion of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and the Yongsheng Building, which was still in a warm atmosphere, quickly fell silent.

Everyone knows that although this errand may be more showy, the risk is too great, and if you don't get it right, you will lose your head.

After all, there is no such thing as Manzhu Xili on this side of the Ming Dynasty, who has a character to rely on on both Jianyu and the Ming Dynasty!

After a while, seeing that no one among the crowd voluntarily stood up and went to the enemy camp to deliver the credentials, Emperor Chongzhen was about to speak, but suddenly heard Deng Tianhe, the military attache of the imperial attendant standing beside him, take the lead and walk out.

I saw the two of them kneeling down and clasping their fists and saying, "Your Majesty!" Wechen is willing to lead the order to the former slave chieftain camp! ”

After Deng Tianhe expressed this attitude, Yang Zhen, who also served as the military attache of the imperial chamberlain, also walked out, came to the emperor and knelt down solemnly, and said:

"Your Majesty! Wechen is also willing to receive the decree to convey His Majesty's will to the former slave chieftain camp! ”

Looking at these two young generals who were a few years older than him, but had been fighting in the army for many years, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head very firmly.
