When Ba Hu learned Li Yuntian's words from the stout entourage, his face suddenly turned pale, judging from the reaction of the Ming civil and military officials on the scene, Li Yuntian's repetition of the old matter had obviously made those civil and military generals wary of the Timurid Empire.

"Lord, when our Timurid Khan went east, it was to unify the Chagatai Khanate, and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was controlled by the ministers, and a descendant of Chagatai of unknown origin was set up as the Khan King, and our Timurid Khan, as a descendant of Genghis Khan and the son-in-law of the Great Khan of the Western Chagatai Khanate, naturally had the obligation to unify the Chagatai Khanate."

At this time, Ba Hu finally realized that the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty was really extraordinary, and a few words had already forced him into a desperate situation, and after reaching out to wipe the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, he whispered a few words to the stout entourage, and the stout entourage bowed down to Li Yuntian and said:

"When Timur Khan went on his expedition to the east, he had already sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to clarify that His Majesty the Yongle Emperor had clarified, just to unify the Chagatai Khanate, and Timur Khan had been staying there since he lost Bali City, and he would never dare to offend the Great Ming Dynasty!"

"Timur was sick at that time and could no longer bear the bumps of the journey, so he had to recuperate in the city of Beshibali!" Seeing that Ba Hu was still quibbling, Li Yuntian couldn't help but sneer, staring at Ba Hu with his eyes like torches and asking, "This king asks you, what were Timur's last words before he died?" ”

"This ...... In the small position of the lower officials, I did not know the last words of Timur Khan. Ba Hu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Li Yuntian with some consternation, could it be that Li Yuntian knew what Timur said before he died? Then he hurriedly bowed to Li Yuntian and replied with a flustered expression.

"According to the information that this king has, before Timur's death, the vanguard of your Western Chagatai army had approached our Daming Hamiwei, and he still did not forget to attack Daming."

Li Yuntian saw that Bahu did not dare to face himself, knowing that Bahu must have known Timur's last words back then, it was obvious that this Bahu was the magnate of the Timurid Empire, otherwise it would not be possible to be sent to the Ming Dynasty to carry out such an important diplomatic affairs, so he looked at Bahu coldly and said, "'Don't show weakness to the enemy, hold your ...... Sword! Do you remember that? ”

"Isn't this the meaning of attacking my Daming!"

"It seems that that Timur really wants to attack my Daming!"

"In the past, when I went to Shaanxi Dusi, I heard from the military households there that soon after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, the Marquis of Xining ordered the entire Shaanxi Dusi to reorganize and prepare to go to Jiayuguan to fortify, but then somehow the order to go to Jiayuguan was revoked, and now it seems that the army of Xichagatai was on guard at that time."

"There is such a thing, we must guard against it!"

"It's really appalling, this Xichagatai has always been a subordinate to me, who knew that there would be such a vicious hand behind my back."

……

With a bang, the ministers in the hall could no longer hold back the shock in their hearts, and immediately exploded, and they whispered about what Li Yuntian said.

After Ba Hu learned about Li Yuntian's previous words from the stout entourage, his face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks, he never imagined that Li Yuntian would even know such a private matter.

The Empress Dowager of the Zhang family sat expressionlessly on the high platform and looked at the ministers in the hall who were talking to each other and whispering, and it could be seen that the civil and military ministers on the scene had not taken the Timurid Empire to heart at all before, if it weren't for Li Yuntian having asked people to inquire about a large amount of information about the Timurid Empire in advance, I am afraid that now the ministers and nobles are arguing over whether to send troops to the Western Regions.

It is worth mentioning that the Empress Dowager Zhang knew very well that the reason why the nobles simply sent troops was not because of how strong the Timurid Empire was, or how good the relationship was with the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but to revive the selfish interests of the Wei army, completely ignoring the cost of the people and money if they did so.

In addition to preventing the dispatch of troops because of people's livelihood problems, the Wenchen Group also has another purpose, that is, naturally it does not want the Xungui Group to take advantage of this Western Regions to send troops to rise up, otherwise it will not be easy to compete with it in the court in the future.

This also means that the Wenchen group is not aware of the horror of the Timurid Empire at all, and their seemingly beneficial behavior has actually brought huge hidden dangers to the Ming Dynasty.

It seems that the real for the sake of the royal family, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty is still the King of Zhongwu, the Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but look at Li Yuntian who was standing in front of the palace and staring at Bahu, she now finally understands why Emperor Xuande will break the ancestral life of Emperor Taizu before his death, leaving a testament to Li Yuntian as the prince, Li Yuntian is indeed worthy of being the minister of the humerus of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty.

Ba Hu was shocked by what Li Yuntian said, and at the same time realized that he had met a very powerful opponent, seeing the civil and military officials in the main hall talking there with stunned expressions, his heart was suddenly quite anxious, and he reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead and whispered a few words to the stout entourage.

"Lord Wang, the envoy said that he did not know the dying will of Timur Khan, and he will definitely investigate after returning home this time."

Beads of sweat also oozed from the forehead of the stout entourage, and his face was terrifyingly white, he could understand the discussions of those courtiers in the main hall, and naturally knew that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to Bahu, and then hurriedly explained to Li Yuntian, "As far as he knows, Timur Khan has always respected Daming, and will never do anything unfavorable to Daming, presumably someone deliberately spread rumors!" ”

The civil and military officials who were discussing around suddenly quieted down when they heard this, and looked at Li Yuntian in unison, wanting to know how Li Yuntian would deal with it next.

"In the twentieth year of Hongwu, Timur Khan sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to meet Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and proclaimed himself a minister to Emperor Taizu in the letter of state, and paid tribute to fifteen horses, two camels, and other tributes.

However, the stout entourage did not mean to stop, but said to Li Yuntian in an orderly manner, "Lord Wang, although our Western Chagatai Khanate is far away from the Ming Dynasty and has a bumpy road, since then, every year since then, it has paid tribute to horses and camels, and in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, it has also paid tribute to six horses, nine horses of green shuttles, two horses of red and green Sahara, and iron swords and armor. ”

"Lord, I believe that the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty still has the letter of state from Timur Khan to the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, if the villain is not mistaken, the letter of state says, 'Gong Wei Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is ordered by the heavens, unifies the four seas, is benevolent and virtuous, and the grace is raised, and all countries admire." Xianzhi God wants to rule the world peacefully, and the emperor is specially appointed to be the lord of billions of trillions...... The tribes in the vassal country, hearing the sound of Zde, dancing and wearing. There is no way to repay the favor, but to look up to the heavens to bless the holy longevity and blessings, just as the heavens and the earth are eternal and endless. ’”

As he spoke, the stout entourage looked up at Li Yuntian, recited the letter written by Timur to Emperor Hongwu that year, and then bowed to Li Yuntian and said, "Lord, Timur Khan is very respectful to the Ming Dynasty, and he will definitely not offend the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Li Yuntian frowned slightly when he heard this, and couldn't help but glance at the stout entourage, although this person is not good-looking, but his eloquence is excellent, and he can recite Timur's letter to Emperor Hongwu word for word, and it seems that he is not an idle person.

Moreover, whenever Ba Hu was in trouble, he would whisper a few words to the stout entourage, and then the stout entourage would resolve it, although Li Yuntian stood so close, he couldn't hear Ba Hu's voice, which made him feel a little strange, could it be that those words were a secret.

Now, when the stout entourage recited the letter written by Timur to Emperor Hongwu in one breath, Li Yuntian knew that the identity of this entourage was not simple, and it might not be just a retinue.

"Ministry of Rites, did Timur write a similar letter to Emperor Hongwu?" At this time, the Empress Dowager Zhang, who was sitting on the high platform, spoke, and asked the official of the Ministry of Rites quietly.

"Empress Dowager, as far as the ministers know, there is indeed such a letter of state, which is stored in the treasury of the Ministry of Rites, and its contents are the same as those complained by the previous official of the Western Chagatai Khanate." Hu Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked out of the queue when he heard the words, and came to the front of the palace to say a deep message to the Empress Dowager Zhang.

"King Zhongwu, what do you think about this?" The Empress Dowager of the Zhang family bowed slightly when she heard this, and then looked at Li Yuntian.

"The Empress Dowager, the minister thinks this is Timur's delaying tactic."

Li Yuntian bowed to the Empress Dowager Zhang and said in an orderly voice, "At that time, Timur was busy conquering the surrounding countries and was unable to cope with the pressure from the Ming Dynasty, so he took the initiative to declare himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, not only could he take the opportunity to send a delegation to the Ming Dynasty to inquire about intelligence, but also benefited greatly from the tributary trade with the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, he also lifted the threat from the east and allowed him to expand westward with all his might." ”

"The minister checked the records of the Ministry of Rites, and in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, Timur, who had already conquered a large territory and had enough strength, began to reveal his true intentions, not only detaining the envoys of the Ottoman Empire, a major Western power, but also Fu An, who was sent by the Hongwu Emperor to the Western Chagatai Khanate, and then attacked the Ottoman Empire and captured its emperor."

"If it is forgivable that Timur was rude to the Ming envoys only once, but Hongwu detained and abused the Ming envoys for the second time in the 30th year, which was deliberate."

Li Yuntian has been preparing for today's court meeting for a long time, not only collecting a large amount of information about the Timurid Empire, but also consulting the official records of the Timurid Empire and the Ming Dynasty, and talking eloquently in the face of the Empress Dowager Zhang, "After the death of Timur, the Western Chagatai Khanate fell into civil strife, and it was not until his fourth son Shaluha quelled the civil war ten years later, and then he was the envoy of the Ming Dynasty in the eleventh year of Yongle. ”

"In view of Timur's past, the minister has to worry about the true intention of the Western Chagatai Khanate to attack the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, once the Eastern Chagatai Khanate is taken by him, the Ming Hami Guards will face its troops directly, and it will be difficult to resist with the strength of the Seven Guards of the Kansai."

In the end, Li Yuntian bowed to the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family, and said in a loud voice, "The Empress Dowager, the minister thinks that the Western Chagatai may not be a drunkard who intends to send troops this time, and for the peace of the Western Regions, the minister implores the imperial court to assist the Eastern Chagatai, compared with the Western Chagatai, the Eastern Chagatai has always been friendly with my Ming Dynasty, and the two sides have been at peace for decades. ”

"The Empress Dowager Niangniang, the Great Khan of our country just wants to send troops to restore the former glory of the Chagatai Khanate this time, and I will never dare to offend the Ming Dynasty, please ask the Empress Dowager to be clear." The stout entourage immediately became anxious when he heard this, and he quickly knelt on the ground without caring about it, and said loudly to the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family.
