Chapter 331: Forcing the Tatars and Warat to Rebel
"Yes!" Zhu Gaoxian said, "Today's dinner is suitable for you to pour the pot of wine, you freshen up, change your clothes, this king will give you a promise, so that you can die peacefully!" β
After Zhu Gaoxian finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Ji Gang sat on the ground, he couldn't figure out what happened when Zhu Gaoxian asked him to attend tonight's banquet?
The banquet was held in the Machinery Hall, a huge banquet hall where crystal lamps hung above the dome, and the light shone on every corner.
The glass windows are wide open, the gentle breeze brings in the fragrance of flowers, the pineapple table is placed on both sides, and the tea and incense burner are placed on the low table in the middle, everything seems so harmonious.
Arutai and Elebak have arrived, and they are waiting in their places.
There is a gorgeous carpet behind the low table of pineapple wood, and the retro ritual is to sit on your knees and eat, which is actually suitable for the Beiyuan people who are not used to tables, chairs and benches.
The moment they saw Ji Gang come in, Arutai and Erleboke slammed into the table in shock, knocking the tea and incense burner on the low table next to them to the ground.
The eunuch hurried over to clean up, which was already very rude, and at this time, Zhu Gaoxian also walked in slowly.
He saw the reaction of Arutai and Erleboke, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly, which was exactly the effect of his asking Ji Gang to come.
Ji Gang disappeared suddenly, and Arutai and Erlebuk must have been very nervous. If they have dealings with Ji Gang, if Ji Gang falls, there is a high possibility that they will confess to them, can they still return to Beiyuan?
This is what they are worried about.
Moreover, if they are implicated in Ji Gang, will Ji Gang know about their plan?
If not, how did those bows and arrows get into the city?
Zhu Gaoxian only looked at him, and knew that Beiyuan really had collusion with Ji Gang, even if Arutai and Erleboke saw him come in, showing that they were so panicked because he came in, Zhu Gaoxian had already gotten the information he wanted.
He can indeed let people torture Ji Gang, but for him, giving such an order is really against his principle of doing things, just let him seize the handle if he likes to see these people panic under his own arrangement!
Zhu Gaoxian pretended to be stunned, looked at Ji Gang with his head down, and then looked at Arutai and Erleboke, "Why, it turns out that you all know each other!" β
"No, it's not, I don't know!" Ji Gang realized that he had denied it too directly, and almost instantly came back to his senses, pretending to be very calm and laughing, "Your Highness is joking, how can the minister know ...... Lord Arutai and Elberke...... Your Highness! β
Suddenly, Ji Gang couldn't think of any appropriate name for Erlebok Khan, and he almost called out Erlebok Khan, and the Great Khan was in the Northern Yuan, which was almost the same as the emperor.
Zhu Gaoxian curled his lips slightly, "The dignified commander of the Jinyi Guard, there are still people in this world that you don't know Ji Gang?" What a dereliction of duty for you! β
Ji Gang's cold sweat broke out all over his body, and the hearts of the three of them beat like drums, and they could all be heard in the room.
It took a long time for Arutai and Erleboke to react and salute Zhu Gaoxian, he walked in front of the two of them and said casually, "Please get up!" β
Ji Gang followed behind him, and when he passed by Arutai and Erlebok, he couldn't help but glance sideways at the two of them, and he was jealous, as if these two people were some kind of dirty existence.
He was about to stand behind Zhu Gaoxian, but Zhu Gaoxian pointed to the first position on his right-hand side, "You sit here, and today you will accompany this king to a banquet for two guests from afar!" β
"Yes, Your Highness!" Ji Gang is a dying man, but when and how to die, this authority is not in his hands.
In this world, there are people who are not afraid of death, but Ji Gang's hands have died too many people, he has seen too many ways to die, and he knows that sometimes, death is not terrible, and the process of death will make people regret coming to live in this world.
Ji Gang is afraid of death, and he is even more afraid of being tortured to death.
In the past, it was not that he was not afraid of the reincarnation of cause and effect, but once he had the authority in his hands and became proud, he would forget everything, and he felt that he was very good, and he never imagined that the authority would be withdrawn one day.
Ji Gang's position was right in the middle of Arutai and Erlebok, and his gaze could be against one of them at any glance.
"This king is hosting a banquet for two people today, because he has important matters to discuss." Zhu Gaoxian picked up the wine glass and raised it towards Arutai and Erleboke, he sat in the top position, with a wide chair behind him, and a two-headed case in front of him, which was very comfortable.
Arutai and Erebak hurriedly raised their glasses, drank all the wine in the wine bottle, and scrambled to say, "If Your Highness has any requests, we will all go to the soup and fight the fire, and we will not give up!" β
Zhu Gaoxian was unceremonious, "This king wants to build a railway from Beijing City to Ulaanbaatar, and then from Ulaanbaatar to Ubusu Lake." β
As soon as these words came out, even Ji Gang was stunned, he didn't expect that Zhu Gaoxian's idea was so naΓ―ve, to build the railway to someone's house, how did he come up with this idea?
I have to say that the brains of this Fourth Highness are just different from ordinary people.
Ulaanbaatar is on the border of Tatar, and Lake Ubudsu turns from Tatar to Warat. On the border out of Varat was the Golden Horde, the predecessor of the Grand Duchy of Russia.
Arutai and Elebak's minds were a little out of turn, and at this moment, they didn't know what to say.
Zhu Gaoxian didn't seem to see the silent refusal of the two, he was like a person who didn't know the depths, and said to himself, "The reason why this king invited the two of them to come to Daming to participate in the World Exposition and meet me Daming is to discuss with your country this major project that is beneficial to the people of the two countries. Of course, the two of you don't need to be in a hurry to answer this king today, and when the World Exposition has passed, you will reply to this king. β
Arutai and Erebak were not at all easy, the two glanced at each other out of the corner of their eyes, and both sneered, "Thank you Your Highness for giving us time to consider." β
Arutai asked, "The minister will go back and ask the Ghost Li Chi Khan for instructions, and after discussing with the courtiers in the court, he will reply to His Highness." β
Aru is a high-ranking and powerful position, and he is only a Tatar courtier, the Taibao and the Privy Council, and there is nothing wrong with his words.
Zhu Gaoxian smiled, he played with the wine glass in his hand, "It seems that Lord Arutai did not understand the meaning of this king, Lord Arutai, all the countries that have established diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty have asked the Ming to build roads in their countries, what kind of hatred is Tatar and Daming, so that Tatar is so defensive of Daming?" β
After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Erlebok and said with a smile, "Erlebok Khan doesn't need to go back and ask anyone, right?" Presumably, after the Universal Exposition, we will be able to give this king an answer. Once the railway is opened, my Ming materials can be continuously transported to Ubu Su Lake, and your country's materials can also be transported to Beijing City in a steady stream, the trade between the two countries will greatly promote the economic development of your country, this is the only place that I can help your country at present. β
Ji Gang had forgotten about his death, at this moment, his face was a little feverish, he couldn't figure out what kind of mood Zhu Gaoxian was in to say such a thing, he believed that what he heard in Erle Boke's ears must be the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and the guns and ammunition that were continuously transported to Wara, and the gold, silver, cattle and sheep of Wara were continuously transported to Daming.
Ji Gang couldn't help but glance at Erleboke's face secretly, and seeing that he couldn't help but look gloomy in front of Zhu Gaoxian, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, only feeling that this Ming prince was going to force the Tatars and Warat to rebel.
Erlebok endured and endured, he heard the slight cough of the guards behind him, it was not a real guard, but his general pretending, in order to see if he could help him at a critical time, at this time, it came in handy.
Erlebok quickly calmed down, they had two ways to go, during the World Exposition, to create chaos, damage the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, and take this opportunity to escape from the city of Beijing.
Agree to the request of the Ming Dynasty, since the Ming Dynasty intends to build a railway through Ulaanbaatar to Ubusu Lake, then it proves that the Ming Dynasty does not have the same malice towards them as the Japanese State, and can establish friendly relations in the future, and use the science and technology of the Ming Dynasty to develop their economy, they can not develop to the south, they can develop to the west, for example, the Golden Horde gradually lost control of those principalities, This is the opportunity for them to intervene.
Erleburk was glad that he had thought of this, and he leaned forward and made a very humble appearance, "We thank the Ming Dynasty for his care and support, the Emperor's grace is vast, and we thank His Majesty the Great Emperor." I just don't know what the future trade will be, and if we want to exchange for the weapons of the Ming Dynasty, what conditions we need to pay. β
What a good chess piece!
At this moment, Arutai didn't know whether to admire Erlebok's good brain or his courage, he actually dared to hit Daming's weapon, this is really brave!
Ji Gang's hand under the table also trembled, and he couldn't help but glance at Erleboke, and he already regretted it endlessly.
Why did he join forces with such an idiot in the first place? No, it should be said, how could His Highness form an alliance with such a fool and kill him in the end.
Ji Gang, like all gamblers, just wants to win his family fortune, and he doesn't want to lose his family.
Zhu Gaoxian took a sip of the teacup, he patiently listened to Erleboke, this person was dressed in traditional Mongolian clothes, two eyebrows were like two flat poles across his round eyes, the nose was very large, like a mountain peak, thick lips spoke very neatly, and a huge gold earring on his left ear, dangling with his movements, flashing so that people's eyes could not be opened.
Zhu Gaoxian intuitively felt that this person's brain was not good, he put down the teacup, moved his body, and pondered for a while, "Daming can sell weapons, but I have to be on guard, after someone buys Daming's weapons, they will turn their heads to deal with Daming." β
Zhu Gaoxian threw out a question, "Dare to ask, Erlebok Khan, how do you prove that Warat will not use the weapons bought from the Ming Dynasty to target the soldiers or civilians of the Ming Dynasty?" β
