"Don't worry, Lord Envoy. There is nothing that I can't handle if I take action. Don't worry. Lord Neishi has decided to meet you at the Neishi Mansion tomorrow!"
Li Wenming quickly calmed down, and the smile on his face suddenly faded by more than half. He couldn't take it lightly at this time. If any flaws were revealed, all the previous efforts would be wasted.
"If so, thank you Master Li!"
Tuosang said, and once again clasped his fist towards Li Wenming. Although this guy was greedy, fortunately, after taking the money, he finally completed his own affairs, and the three hundred taels of gold were not wasted.
"I have some other things to do, so I'll go and do it first. The envoy is going to meet with the emissary tomorrow. Please be careful when you speak. What can and can't be said? Doesn't the envoy know well? We can We are all friends, you can't sell me out..."
When Li Wenming said this, a cunning smile appeared on his face, and Tuosang immediately smiled back and said he didn't dare.
After Tuosang left, Li Wenming breathed a long sigh of relief. This stage was finally over. Thinking about his performance just now, there shouldn't be anything suspicious...
After finally confirming the date of meeting with Chen Qi, Tuosang finally felt a little more at ease. Now that the Han people are about to celebrate the New Year, if things are not settled as soon as possible, by the beginning of next spring, the Han army will march north to the grassland. , then your sin will be great!
After returning to his room, Tuosang immediately called several of his subordinates. After closing the door, they murmured in the room for several hours.
Waiting until early the next morning, Tuosang held the scepter, changed into formal clothes, and went directly to the Neishi Mansion with several subordinate officials.
"Lord Messenger, has everything been arranged properly? I wonder if you have investigated clearly what happened on your grassland? If we haven't figured it out yet, we don't have to worry. We'll talk about it in the spring next year!"
Chen Qi always had a calm smile on his face. Everyone said that a gentleman is like a jade, which is probably what Chen Qi looks like now.
"Don't worry, Lord Neishi, the old Chanyu has unfortunately passed away due to illness. However, I, the new Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu, have sent my credentials again. I also ask Lord Neishi to report to the king on my behalf!"
Tuosang said as he cupped his fists at Chen Qi, and immediately behind him, someone came out holding a brocade box.
"Lord Messenger, what do you mean? Are you trying to humiliate me?"
But Tuosang didn't expect that as soon as he took out his things, Chen Qi's face suddenly turned sad, and Tuosang suddenly screamed in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. This is just our opinion. We do not mean any disrespect. If you are..."
"It's better not to do this kind of thing again in the future. Please respect yourself, the envoy. Since you have prepared your credentials, in three days, I invite you to go to the palace to meet the king!"
"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I really blame Meng Lang for this matter. Please forgive me, Mr. Chen!"
Tuosang secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve. He was really scared just now. He didn't expect that Chen Qi would react so strongly. He originally wanted to bribe Chen Qi, but he didn't expect it. Chen Qi didn't even look at it...
"If that's the case, please go back and prepare, Sir Envoy. That's it for today. I have other things to do, so I won't send you off!"
Originally, Tuosang wanted to give more details, but now looking at Chen Qi's livid face, he was completely confused. He had no choice but to go back and talk later.
After coming out of the main hall of the Imperial Household, Tuosang's heart moved when he looked at the rows of boxes placed on the edge of the corridor.
"What's going on with these things? Why are they all placed outside? Is the Neishi Mansion preparing for a large-scale construction project?"
Tuosang tried his best to pretend to be calm and casual, looking at the emissary's official who was seeing off the guests and asked casually.
"You're talking about this. Recently, a batch of supplies from Chang'an temporarily occupied the warehouse of the Neishi Mansion, so I have no choice but to put these things here first. It makes the envoy laughable!"
The man didn't seem to take it seriously and just answered casually.
Tuosang suddenly felt secretly happy. This was his biggest gain today. It seemed that Li Wenming's suspicion could be eliminated. He should have a good chat with this guy after returning...
After the official sent them to the door of the mansion, he turned around and left, and immediately went back to report to Chen Qi.
"Back to my lord, they have seen what is in the corridor! The subordinates have also returned as per the pre-discussed plan, so there should be no more mistakes!"
"Very well, you go down first and have someone carry those boxes back. It's still more than a month before the Chinese New Year, and people walking around every day are really in the way!"
Chen Qi said casually while rubbing his cheek.
"promise!"
After working through it for so long, the results are finally coming soon. Whether it’s successful or not depends on what happens in three days!
The drama that needs to be done has almost been done, and now it's time to test the results. I just don't know whether these Huns will be fooled or not.
After Tuosang returned, he was invited to a banquet with Li Wenming again. The two had a secret conversation in the room for a long time. No one knew what they had said. However, when Li Wenming came out of his room, he had a lot of money in his hands. A heavy brocade box.
Three days later, Tuosang finally came to the palace again. The gift had been presented last time, so the process was much simpler this time.
"The foreign envoy Tuosang has met His Highness the King!"
"You're welcome, my envoy. I don't know what news your envoy has brought to me this time. I'm all ears!"
Above the main hall, Liu Deng was sitting on the throne alone, with a faint smile on his face, which made Tuosang feel frightened.
"His Royal Highness Hui Dai, my old Shanyu unfortunately passed away due to illness. This is the credential sent by our great Xiongnu trusted Shanyu. I also ask His Majesty the King to read it! My Shanyu is in the credential, and I sincerely request His Highness the King to present it. Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, marries your noble daughter, so that the two countries can become friends of Qin and Jin, so as to put an end to the disaster of swords and soldiers!"
Although there is always a bad feeling in his heart, Tuosang is still very confident. Since the war between the Han and the Huns began, it is not the first time that the war has been resolved by marriage. This time the Huns took the initiative to seek peace, which is considered sufficient. If you lose the face of the Han people, nothing will happen again, right?
"Sure enough, the heroes have the same idea, and I also think this is the best solution!"
"If that's the case, then I'll trouble you, Your Highness!"
Tuosang was immediately overjoyed. He really didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly.
"Don't be too busy thanking me, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
