Taihedian Square.

The members of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Timurid Empire, including Dorul and Bakhud, who had come to meet the Orthodox Emperor, followed one of the chamberlains, hurriedly marched through the corridor in the center of the square.

Narsa, who followed behind Dorul, quietly looked at the civil and military officials who were standing tall and solemn, and she was very surprised by the scene in front of her, although the square was densely packed with officials, the scene was silent, showing a strange silence.

As far as Narsha knows, those who can appear in the Taihedian Square are all officials above the fifth rank of the Ming Dynasty, and officials below the fifth rank are not qualified to enter the Taihedian Square at all.

In the past, Narsa had only heard that the Ming Dynasty had a large population, but now from the thousands of officials in the square, she truly realized that the population of the Ming Dynasty was beyond her imagination.

As the palace of the Ming Dynasty engaged in important activities, the Taihe Hall was naturally built with majestic momentum and splendor, and Narsha couldn't help but look up at this huge building, it was the first time she had seen such a large palace.

"What a beautiful woman from the Western Regions!" After Narsa and his party entered the Taihe Palace, the civil and military officials standing on both sides of the aisle stood there quietly, no one turned their heads to look at the people who came in, only when Dorul and Bahu and others walked in front of them would they sweep it with the corner of their eyes, and their eyes lit up after seeing Narsa who was not wearing a veil, and they secretly said in their hearts.

Although everyone was very interested in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Timurid Empire's missions, who would dare to lose their honor in front of the orthodox emperor and look around the Taihe Palace?

Narsha knew that these officials in the hall were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty, and she knew some of the people inside, all of whom were guests who went to the Sifang Hall to cheer her on, and all of them were big people with real power, and now they were standing there with solemn expressions and didn't even dare to breathe.

When she came to the front of the hall, Narsa's eyes suddenly lit up, and she noticed Li Yuntian standing in front of the nobles on the right.

Because Li Yuntian is at the head of the Ming Dynasty, there are only a few elderly princes and county kings standing in front of him, so he is particularly conspicuous in the hall at a young age.

Narsa and Li Yuntian had contact once at the 100-day banquet of Lu Youyu's grandson, and Li Yuntian gave her a very friendly feeling at that time, so that Narsa did not feel that Li Yuntian was a loyal and martial king, but more like a graceful and elegant son.

But now in this Taihe Palace, Narsha really realized the dignity of Li Yuntian's status in the Ming Dynasty, and the high-ranking and powerful people she had seen in the Sifang Hall were far from them.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Western Chagatai Khanate are here." The chamberlain who led the way in front bowed to the orthodox emperor in front of the hall, and then bowed backwards and left.

"The envoys of the small country knock on the Ming Emperor!" Afterwards, Dorul and Bahu led their respective attachés to kneel in front of the palace, knelt down and saluted the orthodox emperor, speaking in a stiff Kansai dialect.

"Flat!" Seeing this, the orthodox emperor raised his right hand in the void, and said in a dignified manner, "The two countries are thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, and you must have suffered a lot all the way here, and I will let you reward you." ”

"Emperor Majesty, this is the letter of state from the Great Khan of our country to Emperor Majesty, please read it by Emperor Majesty." After Dorul and Bahu and the others got up, Narsha, who was standing behind him, stepped forward and said to the orthodox emperor with the national letter in her hand.

It was only at this time that Narsa noticed that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was indeed a childish teenager, because she had been informed of the rules of the previous dynasty in advance, so Narsa did not look up at the front after entering the palace, but just glanced left and right, this was the first time she saw the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Bring it in." The orthodox emperor glanced at Narsa in some surprise when he heard this, he didn't expect this woman from the Western Regions to speak Jiangnan dialect so authentically, and then bowed slightly to Song Dashan, and Song Dashan then ordered the chamberlain standing in front of the palace.

"His Majesty the Emperor, the Great Khan of the Small Kingdom also wrote a letter of state to the Emperor Majesty, please read it." At this time, a stout entourage standing behind Ba Hu also held up the national letter in his hand and prelude, speaking a stiff Kansai dialect, which was far worse than Narsa in terms of language alone.

The orthodox emperor nodded, and Song Dashan asked people to bring up the state letters of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Timurid Empire, and then read them out in a subdued tone.

In fact, the auxiliary ministers, the governors of the five prefectures, and the officials of the six ministries already knew the contents of these two national documents, and the Chagatai Khanate in the Middle East naturally asked the Ming Dynasty to send troops to rescue, and euphemistically pointed out that the Timurid Empire was ambitious, and once the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was taken, the next step would threaten the Ming Dynasty.

The letter of the Timurid Empire first reviewed the "friendship between kings and ministers" between Timur, the founder of the Timurid Empire, and Ming Taizu, and then said that they attacked the Eastern Chagatai Khanate only to unify the divided Eastern and Western Chagatai Khanate, and they were in awe of the Ming Dynasty as always.

While Song Dashan was reading the two national letters, Narsa glanced at Li Yuntian quietly, only to see Li Yuntian standing there with a stern expression, looking not angry but mighty, and the affinity of that night was like two people.

Narsha knew that Li Yuntian was the strongest opponent she had ever encountered, and she was able to achieve the purpose of being happy and angry, which really made her a little unwilling, and she was disarmed by Li Yuntian for the first time in her first fight with Li Yuntian, and she did not dare to act rashly under Lin Xin's admonition.

"King Zhongwu, what do you think about this?" Just when Narsha looked at Li Yuntian in a trance, Song Dashan had already finished reading the two national books, and the orthodox emperor was naturally young and naturally didn't know how to choose, so he asked Li Yuntian, who was the person he trusted the most in the court.

Hearing this, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu immediately looked at Li Yuntian, although Emperor Xuande arranged auxiliary ministers for the orthodox emperor, but everyone knew that the orthodox emperor would definitely take the lead in soliciting Li Yuntian's opinion on this kind of military and political affairs, who made Li Yuntian not only the loyal king of the Ming Dynasty but also the teacher of the orthodox emperor, and had enough qualifications to answer the questions of the orthodox emperor before those auxiliary ministers.

Narsa was shocked by the scene in front of her again, she knew that the first person to be questioned by the Orthodox Emperor must be the most authoritative person in the Ming Dynasty, she never expected that this person would be Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian was too young in front of those court magnates.

At this moment, Narsa really realized how powerful Li Yuntian was in the Ming Dynasty, even the orthodox emperor trusted and valued him so much, who else could take the edge of the Ming Dynasty?

Subsequently, Narsa felt a burst of joy in her heart, so if Li Yuntian supported sending troops to support the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, then there was a chance that the Ming Dynasty would send troops.

"Your Majesty, there are some things that the minister is still unclear, and I hope that the envoys of the two countries can solve the minister's doubts." Under the concerned gaze of everyone, Li Yuntian bowed to the orthodox emperor and said in a deep voice.

"King Zhongwu has everything he can say." Hearing this, the orthodox emperor nodded to Li Yuntian and signaled that Li Yuntian could ask Doruer, Bahu and the others.

"Can you tell the king of this book, how many troops have you gathered in the West Chagatai to attack the East Chagatai this time?" Li Yuntian bowed to the orthodox emperor, and then stepped forward and quietly asked the stout retinue of the Timurid Empire who had presented his credentials, but Bahu couldn't understand his words anyway.

"Lord Wang, a small country is a small country, although it has the strength of the whole country, the number of troops is only nearly 100,000, and it cannot be compared with the Ming Dynasty." Hearing this, the stout entourage first bowed to Li Yuntian, then whispered a few words with Ba Hu, and said to Li Yuntian.

"Sue the king, how many troops do you have in the East Chagatai?" Li Yuntian glanced at the stout entourage, then walked up to Narsa and asked in a deep voice.

"Nearly 400,000." Narsa originally wanted to lower the amount of troops so as not to arouse the vigilance of Da Ming, but when she noticed Li Yuntian with a stern expression, she couldn't help but change her mind, and shouted, "However, the country's troops are mainly distributed in three regions, and Xi Chagatai unexpectedly sent heavy troops to attack this time, and our country could not resist for a while, so we could only retreat and defend." ”

Since Li Yuntian knew that the Timurid Empire was a threat to the Ming Dynasty, it was obvious that she had collected a lot of information about the Timurid Empire, so there must also be a lot of information about the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, so she might as well tell the truth.

Hearing this, there was a small commotion in the main hall, and the Timurid Empire only used less than 100,000 troops to defeat the Eastern Chagatai with 400,000 troops, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Timurid Empire was too strong.

"This king knows that your army in East Chagatai is divided into three parts, that is, the headquarters of Yili Jiangli, which has 180,000 troops, as well as 100,000 Yarkand troops and 120,000 Turpan!" Li Yuntian heard that a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that Narsa was very smart and told her the truth, so he looked at Narsa and said, "I don't know if what this king said is correct!" ”

"That's true." Narsa's eyes flashed with a look of shock, she never expected Li Yuntian to be so clear about the situation of the Eastern Chagatai troops, so she nodded to Li Yuntian with the shock in her heart, it seems that Li Yuntian has already been collecting information about the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

"You didn't tell the truth to this king." Then, Li Yuntian turned to Ba Hu, his face sank suddenly, and he said coldly, "As far as this king knows, your Western Chagatai Khanate has a vast territory and a large population, both in terms of geography and population, and it is almost the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, and you can gather a million troops, I wonder if this king is wrong?" ”

Ba Hu didn't understand Li Yuntian's words, but from Li Yuntian's expression and tone, he realized that something seemed to be wrong, and hurriedly looked at the stout attendant beside him.

The stout entourage's face had become a little ugly, and he translated Li Yuntian's words to Ba Hu in a low voice, which made Ba Hu's expression suddenly become flustered.

The Timurid Empire is far away from the Ming Dynasty, and the journey is not suitable, so the Ming Dynasty does not know the situation of the Timurid Empire at all, but Li Yuntian seems to know the situation of the Timurid Empire very well, which makes Ba Hu confused for a while, and he does not know how to answer Li Yuntian's question.

The civil and military officials in the main hall were also stunned by Li Yuntian's words, and they couldn't help but glance at each other in surprise, no one could have imagined that the national strength of the Timurid Empire would be so strong, and it would be enough to rival the Ming Dynasty.

A smile appeared on the corner of Narsa's mouth, and she secretly felt glad in her heart, it seemed that Li Yuntian knew everything about the affairs of the Timurid Empire and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, fortunately she had told the truth before, otherwise it would have been quite embarrassing if Li Yuntian exposed the lie in front of the court.
