is also to make a credit, although I can't get any great credit now, but at least when Liu Ruozai gives a chapter to the court again, he will also write him in, so that he can be mentioned.

And if there is an opportunity for promotion and transfer at any time, and there are several competitors at the same time, and there is no one to determine who will come, then this credit can play a great role.

In the evening of the same day, Liu Ruozai and his entourage came to Dacaotan again.

This time, they were not half watched, half escorted to the residence of the nobles of the Chahar Department in Dacaotan like the last time, but were surrounded by some Mongolian cavalry, and they were sent to this area with the most fertile water and grass very courtesy.

Chahar Ministry, in the sweat tent.

"That's what the imperial court means." Liu Ruozai smiled at the head.

The person he spoke to was the current Great Khan of the Chahar Ministry, Ezhe, the son of Lin Dan Khan, and the Empress Dowager Nang, who was sitting next to Ezhe.

At this time, it was already night, and the lights were bright inside and outside the huge sweat tent.

Dozens of huge braziers were lit outside the tent, and the flames flickered, illuminating the hall within a dozen steps around the tent. Inside the big tent, hundreds of butter candles were lit, and the big tent was as bright as day.

At this time, a feast had already begun in the great tent.

At the right of the banquet, the Empress Dowager and Ezhe sat side by side, and the two were roughly the same. Ezhe is the Great Khan, but he has not really taken power yet, and the power is in the hands of the Empress Dowager Nangnan, the great blessing of Lin Dan Khan, which is roughly equivalent to the regent Empress Dowager of the Central Plains Dynasty.

In stark contrast to the Empress Dowager Sutai, although he is Ezhe's biological mother, he can only sit down.

On the left-hand side of the right position, sitting is the official of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Ruozai is at the top, followed by Wang Wuluo, Liu Daqi, Chong Daliang, Dong Ce, and Tian Shi.

Although Dong Ce's position in this group is extremely important, second only to Liu Ruozai, on this occasion, he can only sit in the penultimate position. Such formal occasions must be done strictly in accordance with official positions. Liu Ruozai is a civil official and the head of the crowd, so he naturally sits at the top, and the generals below are all seated according to their positions.

Opposite them, there were a cadre of nobles from the Chahar Department, the Empress Dowager Sutai, Wuyun Na Fujin, and the son of the Empress Dowager Abu Nai. In addition, there are some important people, adding up to about sixteen or seventeen, which is much more than the people on the Ming side.

This time, Dong Ce and the others came over, and everyone's identities were different. The last time I came, basically the two sides were hostile and wary of each other, and at that time, Liu Ruozai's attitude towards the people of the Chahar Department was quite tough, as long as the Chahar Department was a little neglectful of him, he would be extremely angry and disputed. Because in the eyes of Liu Ruozai at that time, he represented the entire Ming Dynasty and the dignity of this ancient empire, which should not be humiliated!

And this time, he was much more respectful to the Empress Dowager and Ezhe, because now everyone belongs to the same system. The Chahar Department was subordinated to the Ming Dynasty, such as the Banzhou case, and the Empress Dowager and Ezhe were both considered powerful people of the Ming Dynasty, and they were the top, and the emperor also had to be courteous. Liu Ruozai has always been a person with a strong sense of etiquette and law, and he will naturally show respect for them.

"I don't know what the Queen Mother and the Great Khan think?" Liu Ruozai asked.

As if he hadn't heard his words, he couldn't sit still in his seat, twisting his neck and shaking his head, as if he was not feeling strong. He looked straight out of the tent, as if he wanted the feast to be over quickly, to leave the big tent that had left him breathless, to mount his horse, and to lead his guards across the prairie to shoot his prey wantonly.

Seeing that he had lost face in front of the envoys and high-ranking officials of the Ming Kingdom, the Empress Dowager had a trace of joy in her heart, but she did not show the slightest hint on her face, but reprimanded sharply: "Ezhe, you are very rude like this!" ”

Ezhe was very afraid of him, so he let out a low sigh and looked at Liu Ruozai: "What did you just say?" ”

The Empress Dowager sighed and said to Liu Ruozai: "This kid is still young, you don't have the same knowledge as him." ”

Liu Ruozai hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

But in my heart, I naturally have some disdain.

The Empress Dowager said: "These things proposed by His Majesty the Emperor of your country are all taken for granted, and we will leave as soon as possible, but the conditions that were promised to us before, when will the people of our clan start to settle, what do you say?" ”

"Your Majesty has agreed to the conditions proposed by your ministry. When you come back from the capital, you can start to settle down. ”

After Liu Ruozai finished speaking, he paused, and said: "Also, the lower official had to correct the Queen Mother, just now you said 'your country', that is wrong." Now that we are all subjects of the Ming Dynasty, it would be good if you just said His Majesty the Emperor. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled: "Yes, this is what I said wrong." ”

She said very heartily: "Since we have agreed, then it is easy to say, I will discuss it later, and I will definitely leave as soon as possible." ”

Liu Ruozai smiled: "Such a great goodness. ”

After the business was over, the atmosphere was much more relaxed. The Empress Dowager ordered the dishes to be served, and the dishes with great grassland characteristics were served, and a jar of wine was also brought up. These fine wines can be regarded as the last bit of stock in the entire Chahar Department, and this time the Empress Dowager directly ordered them to be moved. Anyway, now that I'm returning to the Ming Dynasty, what will I not have in the future? Do you care about this little bit of wine?

Today, Liu Ruozai and others arrived and announced to the people of the Chahar Department that the Ming Dynasty accepted their conditions, which means that from today on, the Chahar Department will officially submit to the Ming Dynasty and become a part of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a great thing for both parties.

For Daming, he gained a strong arm, saved himself from the trouble of being a confidant in northern Xinjiang for many years, and could free up more troops to deal with Jiannu and Liukou. Moreover, the submission of the Chahar Department is also a matter of great prestige, and the emperor, the imperial court, and even the entire Ming Dynasty have a glorious face. And when the Chahar Department officially moved to the designated place, and after the Ming and the Chahar Department began to trade with each other, the Ming Dynasty would have channels to get a large number of war horses. If the soldiers of the Chahar Department join the Ming army, they can also greatly strengthen the military strength of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the Chahar Ministry, from now on, they no longer have to be afraid of Daming dealing with them, and with Daming as a backer, Jiannu is a little more afraid of dealing with them. Of course, there is also a very important advantage - from then on, their materials will be abundant again, especially the nobles, and they will be able to live a good life with luxury and sophistication.

Such a great event is naturally worth celebrating.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere in the big tent immediately became warm, and the sound of toasts continued, and the nobles of the Chahar Department and the people from the Ming Dynasty toasted each other one after another.

Everyone drank happily, and even several queen mothers drank a lot.
