In the next few days, under the guidance of Sun Chengzong, a dozen officials from the Ministry of Rites studied the booklet while preparing to receive the upcoming envoy Lin Dan Khan!
However, the roles Sun Chengzong assigned to the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the things he asked them to do were really unacceptable to those who had been influenced by Confucianism since childhood.
Gong Nai, in particular, had already quarreled with Sun Chengzong two or three times over the procedures for receiving envoys, but Sun Chengzong ignored him at all!
Seeing that Sun Chengzong couldn't be defeated, Gong Nai even went to see Zhu Youxiao, hoping that Zhu Youxiao could stop Sun Chengzong from doing whatever was wrong. However, Zhu Youxiao not only didn't see him, but also asked Lao Wang An to tell Gong Nai!
If you can do it, do it; if you can¡¯t, you can leave!
Although Gong Nai rolled his eyes angrily at this, the old man became more stubborn and wanted to see if Sun Chengzong would cause trouble by doing this. So in the next few days, although Gong Nai was holding back his breath, But he began to act completely according to Sun Chengzong's instructions!
On the official road from Datong to the capital, a group of 500 Mongolian cavalry was being watched by 200 Ming cavalry, slowly moving towards Beijing!
It can be said that Burigude has been angry all his life these days. The guy named Zhou Kang is called an escort, but in fact he is just like escorting a prisoner.
They are not allowed to gallop!
They are not allowed to change routes at will!
They are not even allowed to stay at the inns along the way!
As a result, Burigude and his five hundred cavalry had no choice but to sleep in the open air. They had to eat and drink with the dry food and dried meat they brought with them. Even if the food and grass were gone, Zhou Kang would not provide them. He actually asked Burigude to pay for them!
For this reason, Burigude wanted to kill Zhou Kang and his 200 cavalry several times, and then rush out of the side wall directly, and he would never tolerate this birdiness again!
But when he thought of Lin Dan Khan¡¯s instructions before leaving and the sharpness of the Ming Dynasty¡¯s military, Burigude could only sigh and look at the old lama with resentful eyes!
And the old lama always wore a hood, making his face invisible, and he always turned a blind eye or listened to Burigude's complaints, so that Burigude didn't know what he was thinking. This makes Burigude even more depressed!
finally!
After ten days of slow travel, Burigude finally saw a majestic city appearing on the white horizon. Compared with this city, Chahanhot, the capital of Lin Dan Khan, was no different from a small village!
Burigude looked at the city and murmured to himself: "Is that the capital of the Ming Dynasty? This is too magnificent!"
The old lama said leisurely: "That was once the capital of Dayuan. It carried the glory and sorrow of the warriors on the grassland. I wonder if the warriors on the grassland still have the chance to become the masters of this city!"
Although Burigude wanted to say proudly: "The warriors on the grassland will definitely occupy this place again!"
But the cold reality, like the howling north wind, completely froze Burigude's blood. He could only open his mouth, and finally said feebly: "If the Great Khan can unify all the grassland tribes, we may have a chance to regain it." Here?"
While the two people were talking, a group of ragged slaves, carrying heavy bricks and stones, were trudging past the official road under the escort of a group of Ming soldiers.
Although these people carry heavy objects on their backs, they are not qualified to walk on the smooth official road. They can only walk in the fields covered with potholes and ice and snow!
At first, the old lama and Burigude didn't pay attention, but suddenly someone in the group of slaves shouted in Mongolian: "It's the flag of the Great Khan, the Great Khan is here to save us!"
With this shout, less than half of the group of slaves became commotion. They threw off the bricks and stones on their bodies, ignored the obstruction of the escorting soldiers, rushed up to the official road and blocked Burigude!
Burigude looked at these people with disheveled hair and stinky bodies in astonishment, and asked in disbelief: "Are you Mongolians? How did you end up like this?"
One of those people who seemed to have a higher status cried: "We were captured by the Han people. We have been working here as coolies for almost a year. Are you sent by the Great Khan to rescue me?"
Before Burigude could say anything, the soldiers escorting the slaves had already rushed over. They were cursing angrily and beating the slaves hard with the whips and scabbards in their hands, trying to drive them back!
For a moment, there was a mixture of angry curses and shouts. Those slaves who rushed to the official road were quickly beaten to death, but they refused to leave the official road and cried.Shouting for Burigude to rescue them!
But at this time, Burigude and the 500 Mongolian cavalry behind him, although their eyes were about to burst out with fire, they did not dare to act rashly, because the 200 cavalry led by Zhou Kang behind them had already begun to be on guard, and at the same time there was another one heading towards them. No less than five hundred cavalrymen galloped over!
Burigude knew that as long as he dared to take action now, not only would he not be able to save these slaves, but they would also be eaten clean. With no choice, Burigude could only choose to remain silent!
Soon those slaves were completely suppressed, and they knelt down obediently under the official road. The ones who made the most noise among them were pulled out, and the Ming army who escorted them chopped them off in front of everyone. A personal head!
When the head fell to the ground and blood flew, everyone was silent. Those slaves whose eyes were full of excitement just now were filled with despair. Some even looked at Burigude with endless despair. Hatred!
Soon the slaves once again carried heavy bricks and stones and trudged forward, leaving only a few headless corpses and dazzling blood stains on the ground!
At this time, the oncoming cavalry had already arrived in front of Burigude. The cavalry separated a carriage and stopped in front of Burigude. Gong Nai, the nominal receptionist, lifted the curtain and stood up!
According to Sun Chengzong's design, since Gong Nai cannot ride a horse, he cannot get off the carriage, because in that case he will be shorter than the Mongolian envoy on horseback. On the contrary, if Gong Nai stands on the carriage, he will be shorter than the Mongol envoy on horseback. Higher!
This is really hard for Gong Nai, who is over 60 years old. He still has to climb to a higher place at such an old age. However, Gong Nai really worked hard to prove that Sun Chengzong was wrong!
I saw a man wearing a crimson official robe, a black leather cloak, and a royal hat, standing majestically on the unstable carriage, looking arrogantly at Burigude opposite!
"I am Gong Nai, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty. I have come to greet Lin Dan Khan's envoys by His Majesty's order. Which of you is the envoy? Come out and check the official documents with me!" Although Gong Nai's legs were shaking slightly involuntarily, But that kind of magnanimity that took decades to develop makes people unconsciously feel a sense of oppression in the face of superiors!
Burigude didn't expect Gong Nai to be so arrogant. Although the anger in his heart was on the verge of bursting out, he still suppressed his anger and took out the Guan Wen given by Lin Dan Khan and said: "I am Burigu, the ten thousand households under Lin Dan Khan's account." De, I was sent by the great Lin Dan Khan to come to the Ming Dynasty to have an audience with His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This is the official document given to me by Lin Dan Khan. Please review it!"
As Burigude spoke, he asked his subordinates to transfer the sheepskin scroll-style customs to Gong Nai!
Gong Nai also waved his hand, and a Ming army knight stepped forward to take Guan Wen, and then held it to Gong Nai with both hands!
Gong Nai took the paper and opened it and saw that it was all written in Mongolian characters. Gong Nai showed a contemptuous smile and said: "They are indeed barbarians. Not only can they not make paper, they also have no rules for writing!"
After saying that, Gong Nai casually handed the scroll to Ning Ximing, who was accompanying him, and said, "Check the content and seal to see if it is a forgery!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
