Outside the city, Yesu Die'er's Daguxun hunted. Inside the city, Zhu Di stayed in the city for several days. Until today, after being introduced by Yao Guangxiao, he met Wuna Shili, the "mighty king" in Hami City.
What is very different from Zhu Di's impression of the Mongols is that this "mighty king" has a big belly and a shiny face. The whole person was trapped in the throne studded with gems. Such a mountain of flesh sitting in the middle of the hall not only did not feel "mighty" at all, but made Zhu Di feel a little stunned.
"Hahaha, Yan, His Royal Highness, King Yan, is indeed very handsome!" Seeing Zhu Di, accompanied by Yao Guangxiao, Roshan walked in at a fast pace. He originally wanted to go forward to greet him as a show of hospitality, but after several attempts, he failed because of his actions. It was inconvenient and I couldn't get up from the stool, so I gave up in frustration. However, the flattery on his face remained undiminished, and his flesh folds were squeezed together unsightly.
Zhu Di, however, spoke without any pretense, and Zhang Yu, who was guarding him, looked fierce: "What a remnant of the former Yuan Dynasty, he just proclaimed himself king in this borderland, and he dared to neglect the Ming prince."
"Aren't you afraid of angering my superior country, China, and sending troops to destroy this small country like yours?"
The fat on Wunasli's face froze, but beside him, several lustful ministers stepped forward: "How dare you be rude to the king in the palace!"
"What, is it bad to bully me and wait for the blade?" Zhang Yu directly pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist.
From the beginning to the end, Zhu Di's face remained calm, but the so-called "Mighty King" was so frightened that he was sweating coldly. He kept waving his hands, but was unable to say a word because of his anxiety.
Yao Guangxiao waited for a while, then took a step forward and stood between Zhang Yu and the lewd men. "Amitabha, His Highness King Yan has a distinguished status and has come all the way to save my city of Hami from fire and water. How can you be so rude?"
Then he said to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, King Yan, please calm down. Your Majesty did not mean to be negligent. In fact, he was ill a few days ago, so he was unable to greet you early... The poor monk knows your Majesty's heart, and he can only welcome His Highness. There is absolutely no sign of neglect. If there is any disrespect, I will forgive you."
"Your Majesty, is the poor monk right?"
"Yes, yes!" Wu Na Shili quickly pointed at Yao Guangxiao and said. "National Preceptor, what the Imperial Preceptor said is exactly what I mean!"
With the steps, Zhang Yu climbed down the slope. Over there, one of the courtiers with lustful eyes still had an angry expression. He looked at Yao Guangxiao and said in broken Chinese: "Humph, the Imperial Master is speaking for the King of Yan in the Ming Dynasty like this. I don't know whether he is thinking about my king or the king of my family. My heart goes to my motherland, the Ming Dynasty."
"Amitabha." Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together. "In front of my Buddha, all living beings are equal. Great Ming and Hami are all living beings. What's the difference?"
"The poor monk only wishes that Hami can live in peace and harmony in the pure land... But you, Lord Hami, and His Highness the King of Yan are helping to defend the city, but you use evil words to attack me. What do you think you are hiding in your heart?"
"Humph, what can I do? I just want to help the king protect Hami's wealth. Ming Dynasty's ambition is as unsatisfied as a vulture. It has annexed Korea, Japan, and even wants to annex half of the grassland. If this King Yan is the We are the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty. In Chinese, aren't we 'leading the wolf into the house'?" The courtier glared at Zhu Di fiercely.
"But King Yan's army can help me defend Hami City..." Wu Nasili listened and suddenly spoke in Mongolian.
"Your Majesty." Upon hearing this, the se-eyed courtier turned around and knelt down on one knee facing Wu Na Shili. "The Great Khan of Yesudie'er is related to you, and both come from the Golden Family. Hami has proven his strength to the Great Khan. Now that he surrenders, the Great Khan will definitely make you the king of the clan to show preferential treatment. Your wealth and glory , will never be reduced by half a point.”
"On the other hand, Daming... is the murderer who destroyed the glory of the Golden Family, and is a mortal enemy of your family. Moreover, Daming's desire for land and wealth is endless. If you surrender to Daming, what will happen to you in the end? I'm afraid you will be arrested. He went to Jiqing (i.e. Yingtian) and was imprisoned in a mansion to spend the rest of his life."
"Now that the Great Khan has personally sent troops, if we continue to resist, we will only anger the Great Khan... We should capture the King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty, and then open the city to welcome the elite king of the Great Khan. If we can capture the son of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, The Great Khan will definitely give you a reward."
Wu Na Shi Li's expression moved slightly, as if he was moved. Yao Guangxiao, however, was neither arrogant nor impatient. He turned around and said in Chinese: "Amitabha, your Majesty, think twice."
"The Great Khan of Yesudie'er raised his troops in the winter, and his troops will definitely be short of food and grass. Why did the Great Khan attack Hami? It is because in the city of Hami, there is the wealth accumulated by the three generations of the king's father and ancestors."
"With the wealth of Hami, Yesudier Khan can once again expand the Mongolian hegemony in his heart. However, in this hegemony, Hami has become a stumbling block... Yesudier Khan abandoned the title of emperor, Restoring the old Mongolian system, how the old Mongolian system treats the conquered countries, your Majesty, you know better than all of us..."
"Prime Minister Hama has talents. I urge you to surrender. With this merit, you may be assigned a piece of pasture and become a leader. But as a bloodline of the Golden Family, your Majesty, you are not as good as using a bowstring." Yesudier, who strangled the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to death, should have the right to inherit the Great Mongolia."
"Can Yesudier Khan really tolerate you, the king? He would rather let his warriors starve and let his herdsmen complain, but he would also protect your wealth and make you the clan king?"
"Daoyan, you..." The color-eyed courtier named Hama had already changed his expression. But the one whose face changed more was Wu Nasili. The mighty king's face turned purple, but he finally became more "mighty" and scolded Hama angrily: "Shut up! You fox who deceived the Wolf King!"
Hama's expression froze, and Wu Na Shili held Yao Guangxiao's hand and burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you so much, Imperial Master! Thank you so much, Imperial Master. Without the Imperial Master, I would have almost fallen into the abyss!"
"The king has great wisdom, but the poor monk just gave him a little guidance." Yao Guangxiao remained solemn, with a look of unfazed favor and humiliation. "Since we are determined to defend the city, we need to treat His Highness King Yan with courtesy. If His Highness is unwilling to help, everything will be over."
"Yes, yes, I am determined to defend the city, I must defend the city..." Wu Nasili said, turning to look at Zhu Di who was standing aside, and praying with a face on his face: "King Yan must help me to defend this city. Wang is willing to calligraphy to the Ming Dynasty and become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty from generation to generation..."
This was something that had been negotiated with Yao Guangxiao. Zhu Di agreed and blackmailed some gold and silver for military supplies as compensation. Wuna Shili was rich and wealthy, and he wholeheartedly curry favor with Zhu Di to help him defend the city. He granted everything he asked for, and sent people to hold a grand banquet for Zhu Di in the besieged city. Zhu Di excused himself and only wanted to go back to the military camp. He was so frustrated that he didn't dare to force him, so he gave Zhu Di wine, meat and labor. Today's meeting ended.
"Being strong in the northwest, separatist power...is this what it looks like?" After leaving the Hami Palace, Zhu Di glanced at the palace's complex murals and luxurious ornaments, and thought of the slightly simple palace in Yingtian, and felt in his heart The disdain for Wu Na Shili became stronger.
"Haha, the world is like this." Yao Guangxiao seemed calm.
"If this were not the case, how could China conquer the world?"
