So, holding the secret edict, he rushed to the Wala camp alone with only fifty men and horses.
The situation was indeed as he expected. When he saw him first, although he was extremely angry, he never dared to make a move against him.
After some lobbying, Ye Xian was indeed moved.
After successive wars, it was now roughly clear where the Ming Dynasty's bottom line was. If the Supreme Emperor was in his hands, it would only attract Ming Dynasty's continued hostility.
What's more, Zhu Jian didn't ask him to release the Supreme Emperor immediately. He just asked him to send envoys to the capital to continue contact.
The only risk is probably that Zhu Jian wants to take away Yuan Bin.
With Xi Ning's lessons learned, I was a little worried about whether Daming would repeat his old tricks.
But then I thought about it, Yuan Bin was just a small personal attendant, and as long as the Emperor was still in his hands, the risk was still worth taking.
Therefore, Ye Xian finally agreed to Zhu Jian's conditions and sent Naha Chu and Yuan Bin to follow Zhu Jian back to the court.
But this time, I learned to be smart and no one sent any cavalry to escort them.
You know, the last time Xining led nearly a thousand cavalry, most of them were killed under Xuanfu City.
So this time, he was cautious and only sent one person from Naha. Once Ming Dynasty broke the contract, he would not suffer any losses.
In this way, Zhu Jian took the two of them and rushed back to the capital.
Originally, Zhu Jian was surprised that Shu Liang, the eunuch in charge of the East Factory, personally greeted him at the city gate.
Hearing that the emperor summoned them to the palace immediately, Zhu Jian felt even more wrong.
After entering Fengtian Hall, this feeling became stronger.
You know, generally speaking, the regular dynasty held in Fengtian Hall is usually a regular dynasty, but now it doesn't look like a regular dynasty or a morning dynasty in this hall.
What surprised Zhu Jian even more was that there were three people kneeling in the palace. They were none other than the ministers from the previous mission, and they were still wearing prison uniforms.
This scene is so strange.
However, in the Fengtian Palace and in front of the emperor, he was not allowed to understand the situation before answering, so Zhu Jian had to answer truthfully.
"Thank you for your majesty's consideration. I was sent as an envoy to Wala under a secret edict to discuss peace talks with Ye Xian. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my order. Ye Xian agreed to return the Emperor to the capital, and sent the envoy Naha, and the Emperor's attendant, Yuan Bin. , come to see you."
As soon as the words fell, a burst of discussion quickly arose in the hall.
Although Zhu Jian's words were only a few sentences, the information revealed in them was enough to shock people.
First, he confirmed Yuan Bin's identity, and then pointed out that he had been secretly ordered to go to Oara for peace talks. Finally, and the most surprising thing, according to Zhu Jian, he actually succeeded in the negotiation!
You know, the imperial court made a big fanfare and sent such a luxurious mission with rich gold, silver and silk, but the result was like this.
Zhu Jian single-handedly, with his sharp tongue, was able to convince Ye Xian to let the Supreme Emperor back?
The amount of information is really a bit overwhelming, and the elders can’t accept it for a while.
At this time, the emperor nodded, with a warm expression on his face, and said.
"Okay, I really didn't trust the wrong person. Thank you for your hard work. Please step aside for now."
With that said, the emperor turned to the Wala nobles on the side and smiled.
"Envoy from Wala, we meet again."
This is the second time Naha has come to the Ming Dynasty as an envoy. The last time he came, he was gearing up and was in full swing. He had no real idea of peace talks. As an envoy, he was naturally arrogant.
But this time, his attitude was obviously much more restrained, and he bowed respectfully and answered.
"His Majesty the Great Emperor, it is Naha's honor to see you again. Your broad mind and outstanding wisdom are more outstanding than His Majesty Emperor Taizong."
"Naha, on behalf of the Grand Master, would like to thank you for your willingness to accept the herdsmen who have been tortured by the snow again. From now on, Wala will be the most loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. He will serve you as your lord and pay tribute from generation to generation."
"This is a letter personally written by my Grand Master. Please read it to His Majesty the Emperor."
These words... really make people feel happy!
Although I knew I shouldn't do it on this occasion, I also knew that what the Wala envoy said was just for the occasion.
But even so, many ministers present could not help but feel very happy.
Since the Battle of Tumu, they have been used to seeing the arrogance and violence of the various tribes of Ou La, but they have never heard such groveling words from them.
Immediately, a chamberlain came down from the imperial steps and delivered the letter that Nahachu held above his head to the imperial desk.
The emperor raised his hand to open it, looked at it for a moment, and then said.
"As for whether the Ming Dynasty and Wala are at war or at peace, I have expressed the attitude of the Ming Dynasty as early as the last time your envoy came, also in the Fengtian Palace."
"Now that the Supreme Emperor is delaying his return to the south, I am willing to make concessions for the sake of peace on the border. However, it is not the time to talk yet. I have received the Grand Master's letter."
"After the court is dismissed today, there will be officials from Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites who will contact your envoy. Now, I have some court affairs that need to be dealt with, so I would like to ask your envoy to go to the side hall to rest."
"By the way, Yuan Bin who came with you is a member of the Ming Dynasty. I have something to ask him, so I won't go with your noble envoy."
Naha hesitated for a while, but it was only for a moment. He leaned over and saluted again, with a very respectful attitude and said.
"Your Majesty, everything follows your will."
So, two guards in Jinyi came forward, took Nahachu out of Fengtian Hall, and went down to settle elsewhere.
As Nahachu left, the attention of the officials was focused on Yuan Bin again, and the hall became quiet again.
They haven't forgotten that they are in Tingju now.
You know, the reason why no one can verify the confessions of Xu Bin and three others is because they lack key witnesses.
But now, this most critical witness is right in front of them!
Everyone did not dare to speak, but what surprised them was that the emperor did not ask Yuan Bin directly, but asked Zhu Jian first.
"Governor Zhu, I ask you, since the return of Wala, have you told the Wala envoy and Yuan Bin anything about the Ming Dynasty, including things related to the envoys sent before?"
Zhu Jian was a little confused, but he still shook his head and said.
"Back to Your Majesty, I was on my way all the way. I occasionally talked to Yuan Bin about my experience in Oara, but when it came to the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty, I didn't reveal a word."
The emperor nodded and asked again.
"Okay, let me ask you again, how were you on your defense along the way? Apart from you, who did the envoy and Yuan Bin come into contact with?"
Zhu Jian still didn't know what it meant.
But many ministers have understood the purpose of these questions.
The emperor was asking whether Yuan Bin knew in advance that the imperial court was interrogating the mission. He was also asking whether anyone had approached Yuan Bin and conspired with him to confess.
You know, although the incident of the envoy's arrest was not a secret, it was only circulated among the imperial court.
Even when they were in Xuanfu, the Oara soldiers who escaped would only think that the Ming army was arresting Xi Ning and would not think about the mission.
So theoretically, as long as Zhu Jian has not disclosed this matter, Yuan Bin should know nothing about it now.
But in fact, even Zhu Jian himself did not know about the mission. After all, he had already left as an envoy to Wala not long after the Battle of Shawo.
After coming back, he rushed to the capital without stopping.
So in fact, he didn't know what happened in the court during this period.
Therefore, although he noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, Zhu Jian hesitated for a moment and still spoke truthfully.
"Your Majesty, the peace talks are of great importance. After returning from Wala, I only stayed in Datong City for half a day and accepted the escort sent by General Guo."
"As for the envoy and Yuan Bin, they are always under the protection of fifty officers and soldiers led by me, and have never had private contact with any strangers."
After the words fell, before Zhu Jian could react, there was another low discussion in the palace, which made Governor Zhu feel strange.
However, the emperor was obviously very satisfied with this answer. He waved his hand and motioned for him to step aside. Then he finally laid his eyes on Yuan Bin and asked.
"Are you Yuan Bin? Are you taking care of the Emperor's daily life in Wala?"
Yuan Bin stood in the hall, his expression a little uncertain.
He came back this time with great hope, thinking that the imperial court finally planned to truly welcome the Supreme Emperor back.
When they arrived at Fengtian Hall, they found the three members of the envoy kneeling on the ground.
He instinctively thought of their plan in Walashi.
At this moment, hearing that the emperor finally called him, his heart suddenly tightened and he quickly answered.
"Your Majesty, I am none other than Yuan Bin. I am honored to be able to serve at the side of the Supreme Emperor."
However, immediately after, the emperor said something that made Yuan Bin not know how to answer.
The emperor asked: "How to prove it?"
