"King Xuanhe Ning is here!" "King Xuanhe Ning is here!" "King Xuanhe Ning is here!" (Yun Xi's title to Ghost Lichi)

At the beginning of the morning of October 18, at this time, in the temporarily arranged line - Lanzhou Wei Yamen, shouts sounded one after another, from the main hall of the third entrance to the first entrance, and finally from the sergeant standing in the front yard to the ears of Gui Lichi: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, King Xuanhe Ning is here!" ”

"What a big shelf," Zhiliger said sarcastically, "even Genghis Khan, who conquered the whole world, and Xue Chan Khan (Kublai Khan), who destroyed the Song Kingdom, did not have such a big shelf when they met with the khans!" ”

"Say less!" Batu reprimanded. Although Liger had spoken Mongolian just now, the soldiers of Lanzhou Wei were often transferred to the north to fight the Mongols, so it was not possible for anyone standing outside the house to understand Mongolian.

"Batu is right, you don't have to say a word. If you want to be so open-mouthed again, I won't take you to see the emperor of the Ming Kingdom. No, you asked me to take you to meet the emperor of the Ming Kingdom in order to reprimand him in person. Ghost Li Chi said.

"No, how could I be." Zhiliger immediately said excitedly: "I am also a member of our beggar Jith department, and I also know how difficult it is now, how can I want to cut off the vitality of our department!" ”

"Then if you want to see the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, be honest, and don't say what you shouldn't say." Batu said.

"I know, when I met the Emperor of Ming, I didn't say anything other than congratulating him on his long life." Riegel said.

"That's good." Ghost Lichi said this, and when he saw the interpreter waiting outside the house poke his head in, he knew that he had been delaying for a little too long, so he hurriedly straightened his clothes and took Batu and Zhiliger to meet Yunxi together.

……

……

"Your Highness, you can't go to Lanzhou Wei's schoolyard!" One of the guards exhorted loudly.

"Don't worry, Lone will not go to Lanzhou Wei as a princess, Lone will change into the same guard clothes as you, and pretend to be a guard next to His Majesty to ride a horse." Yun Zhi said.

"Your Highness, no! There is a difference between men and women, if you just look at it from a distance, but we have no excuse to clear the field, you will definitely be seen through by the soldiers wearing the clothes of the guards, or will Your Majesty know that it is Your Highness that you went to the school. The guard said again.

"Then Lone will change into the clothes of a eunuch, and Lone pretending to be a handsome little eunuch should not be recognized."

"No, Your Highness!" Another guard said, "Escorting a small eunuch on horseback will ruin Your Majesty's reputation!" ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, according to your words, Lone can't go to the school field to ride a horse today!" Yun Zhi said angrily.

Seeing that Yun Zhi was angry, the guards immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Pull them up!" Just kidding, Zhang Wuji was also in the guard pile at this time, could she let him kneel her? So immediately ordered the eunuch to help. When the guards saw that Yun Zhi really asked the eunuchs to get them up, they also stood up.

"It's not hard for you to be alone, as long as you can find a place in the city to ride a horse. But don't say you can't. Yun Zhi said again.

The guards looked at each other, and when they saw that His Highness was so resolute, they could only rack their brains to think. After a while, one of the guards said, "Your Highness, the minister has heard that there is a place in the north of the city, which is said to have been originally intended as a garrison for a guard station, but later the first emperor changed his mind and arranged this guard post to another city, and the place was vacant. ”

"Since it was originally intended to be the station of the health center, there is naturally a school field. Even if the house is deserted, the school field will never sink for no reason, and it can always barely run a horse. Why don't you go to this place with Your Highness. ”

"Okay, let's go to this place." Yun Zhi smiled: "Lone knows that if I don't force you, I won't try my best to share the worries of the Lord." ”

She then returned to the house, changed her outer clothes into the clothes of the guards, and also changed her personal female guards into men's clothes, and then left the house and headed north of the city, surrounded by the guards.

At the same time, there was also a shop soldier who was hurrying his horse and whipping up, from north to south, towards Lanzhou City.

……

……

"Uruk Timur, the king of ministers and Ning, has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Ghost Lichi faced Yun Hee, who was sitting on a high seat, and bowed down and said.

"Excuse me." Yun Xi said.

After Ghost Lichi stood up, he said: "The king of the outer fan wishes His Majesty a long life, and I wish the Ming Dynasty an easy life." ”

"Since the third year of Jianye, His Majesty has opened the mutual market with our country nine times, and has also rewarded the ministers many times, and the ministers have felt five times to pay tribute to Your Majesty," he said here and paused, Batu and Zhiliger stepped forward with two plates in their hands, "Ten pieces of jade, ten pieces of rubies, ten pieces of emeralds, and one piece of gold crown inlaid with jewels." ”

"Your Majesty, the jewel-inlaid emerald phoenix gold crown is said to be worn by the queen of the Song Dynasty, obtained when the Jin State captured Kaifeng, and was treasured by the emperor of his country in the palace; After Genghis Khan led his troops to capture the capital, he got this golden crown and gave it to the wife of Ye Nayan (Tuolei), which was passed down from generation to generation by the Yuan Emperor, and the Yuan Shun Emperor came to the desert with this crown when he fled from the capital. ”

"Since this crown is originally a thing of the Central Plains, and it is worn by the queen, the minister is dedicated to the Ming Dynasty this time, and I wish the queen a thousand years old."

"That's it, it's hard for you to have a heart." Yun Xi smiled and said: "Since you have a heart, last month, you led the soldiers of your department to capture and kill the two wanted people of my Ming Dynasty, and made a meritorious contribution, and I can't say that I don't reward you." Anyway, what reward do you want? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister asks Your Majesty to give the minister 10,000 pieces of armor, 10,000 pieces of steel helmets, 100,000 pieces of swords and guns, hundreds of thousands of bows and arrows, and 20,000 iron pots. In addition, the minister asked His Majesty to issue an edict to the Warat tribes, ordering them not to continue their march eastward. Ghost Li Chi said.

As soon as he said this, countless gasping voices sounded at the scene, and Fu An, who was in charge of arranging this audience, immediately scolded: "Wishful thinking! With so many weapons and armor, you are going to rebel! ”

'I'm not your courtier, how can I talk about rebellion?' Ghost Lichi muttered in his heart, but did not reply, but looked at Yun Xi.

"Of course, the two wanted people who captured and killed the Ming Dynasty should be rewarded. But I remembered that the reward for Ma Buxiang's head was five hundred yuan, and so was Soraha's head. Even if my Ming Dynasty's Su Wang Order is doubled, it will only be a thousand guan, and the two of them will total two thousand. ”

"As far as I know, an ordinary piece of armor needs at least a dozen times, and if it is a good armor, dozens or even hundreds of pieces are not uncommon. Even according to ordinary armor, two thousand pieces of armor can only be combined with more than a hundred pieces of armor. Therefore you will have a great reward. ”

"Second, the Warat tribe has made a lot of contributions in this war with Samarkand, and you did not send troops to participate in this battle, how can I break the hearts of the heroes because of your words?" Yun Xi said.

Yun Xi has been able to determine through several temptations that the situation that Ghost Li Chi is facing now is indeed very difficult, and he has already rewarded him with some armor weapons and other things under the pretext of the two wanted people he captured and killed Daming, so that he can continue to persevere. But he asked for too many things, and Yun Xi was worried that Ghost Li Chi would get these things to unify the Mongolian steppe, not to mention that even if he himself was willing to promise to the military, he would definitely not be willing to agree and dare not accept it.

"Your Majesty," Ghost Lichi knelt on the ground again and said, "The minister also knows that praying for such a generous reward is a bit overstepping, but the minister has no choice but to ask Da Ming for help. ”

"Your Majesty, since the minister became the Great Khan of Mongolia four years ago, many of the ministers have been disobedient, and only the headquarters of the Qierjith Department can rely on, but it is also difficult."

"This year's battle of Yiwu defeated the country of Samarkand, and the ministers congratulate Your Majesty. However, this battle also caused the power of the Warat tribe to rise sharply, and invaded the territory of the vassal in the east. The minister was defeated and had to retreat. ”

"Your Majesty, although the Warat Ministry is the hero of this war, but the country of the minister is also a subject country of His Majesty, and it is a great rebellion for the Warat Department to attack another subject of His Majesty without His Majesty's will! Your Majesty should deal with it severely. ”

"What you say makes sense, and I will immediately decree that he will not be allowed to invade your territory. But you want a lot of weapons, this ......" Yun Xi didn't finish his last words, but everyone understood what he meant.

"Your Majesty," Ghost Li Chijian said for a long time, Yunxi was still unwilling, and suddenly kowtowed again and again and said: "We Mongolians are different from the Han people, and we recognize the bloodline very much. The minister was not a descendant of the Golden Family, but he rashly called himself the Great Khan, which caused the dissatisfaction of all the tribes on the steppe. The reason why they rejected the ministers was also because of this. ”

"A month ago, the minister fought with the Warat Department, and the strength was originally stronger than the Warat Department under the Taiping Command, but because there were people inside who secretly communicated with the Warat, it was defeated, and the Qierjith Department of the minister's headquarters also suffered heavy losses, and the casualties of the young and strong were five or six out of ten, and the soldiers who can fight now are less than half of the Warat people."

"If you can't get these weapons and armor, your ministers won't be able to defeat the Warats; Even if the Warats retreated by His Majesty's decree, there were many other tribes in the steppe, and they would surely openly rebel when they saw that their headquarters were so weak. If they are not united in power over the Warats, or even more than the Varats, how can the ministers deal with them? ”

"So Your Majesty, the minister is now desperate to ask for assistance, ask Your Majesty for mercy, ask Your Majesty for mercy!" In the last paragraph, Ghost Li said while kowtowing.

"I remember that Arutai of the Asuth Department didn't take refuge in you? What's more, the tribes are not monolithic, how can they unite against you? Yun Xi was a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty, although Arutai took refuge in the minister, he had a suspicious heart, and the minister suspected that the military information was the Warat people he revealed, which led to the defeat of the minister."

"As for the various tribes, although there are contradictions between them, the Mongols attach great importance to blood, and in the face of the minister, who is not a descendant of the golden family, they will unite to eliminate the minister first and then talk about the others."

"I beg your majesty to be gracious." Ghost Li Chi kowtowed again and again. Seeing that Yun Xi seemed to be hesitating, he gritted his teeth and said, "The minister is willing to present the map of the Mongolian steppe to His Majesty to show his respect." ”
