The Mongolian soldier outside the Khan Palace looked Xu Yuanwailang up and down.
No wonder the clothes on the man in front of him looked familiar, and then he remembered that he had seen similar clothes and hats from a Taiji.
It's just that Taiji's clothes are of a different color than the person in front of him, and the pattern on his chest is also different.
"I'm so tired." Standing next to Xu Yuanwailang, he cupped the hands of the Mongolian soldier in front of the general.
The Mongolian soldier withdrew his gaze from Xu Yuanwailang and said, "You guys wait here."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the Khan Palace.
Not being invited into the Khan's Palace immediately, Xu Yuanwailang stood outside the Khan's Palace with his hands folded, with no trace of impatience on his face.
Although King Shunyi is from a foreign race, he is a prince who is legitimately canonized by the imperial court. He is just a fifth-rank Yuanwailang. If he had not been named as an envoy, he would have wanted to meet a certain prince alone in the Ming Dynasty. It's simply not possible.
Of course, if he really was the prince of the Ming Dynasty clan, he would not dare to meet him in private.
After a short time, the Mongolian soldier who had gone in to report came out of the Khan's Palace, looked at Xu Yuanwailang and said: "The Great Khan promised to see you, but only two of you can go in. As for who goes in, you can choose it yourself! "
After saying that, he stopped talking and waited for the other party to choose the person to enter the Khan Palace.
Mr. Ba, who was standing aside, took a step back when he heard this.
He knew his identity and came to the grassland to protect Xu Yuanwailang. As for entering the Khan's palace to see King Shunyi, it was not his turn.
Sure enough, I heard Xu Yuanwailang say to the Jin Yiwei Baihu: "You go in with me."
Jinyiwei Baihu stood up.
"I have already chosen the person to meet King Shunyi. Please lead the way!" Xu Yuanwailang said politely to the Mongolian soldier in front of him.
He is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. He knows this truth well, not to mention that what they want to see is a prince who holds great power.
"Come with me!" the Mongolian soldier said calmly, while turning around and walking towards the Khan's palace.
For him, as long as he is not a Han Chinese related to the Tiger Flag, he does not need to be polite.
Xu Yuanwailang carried his official uniform, walked two steps quickly, and entered the Khan Palace together with the Mongolian soldiers who led the way.
As soon as he came in, he looked around.
It didn't look like a royal palace at all, more like a merchant's house that smelled of copper. For a barbarian like King Shunyi, he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, even if he was a prince.
Not far away, they were taken into a tall yurt.
"Great Khan, the Ming Dynasty's envoy has brought you here." The Mongolian soldier who led the way saluted Ombuhong who was sitting at the head of the table.
Xu Yuanwailang looked over.
Seeing the young Mongolian sitting cross-legged on the main seat, I knew that this should be the new lord of the Tumed tribe, Ombuhong, and the several Mongolians sitting cross-legged next to him should be the leaders of the Tumed tribe. lucky.
"Xu Youzhi, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, came to Qingcheng to meet with the Great Khan of the Tumote Ministry on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Xu Yuanwailang bowed to Omubuhong.
Facing the barbarians, it was naturally impossible for him to kneel down and salute, not to mention that he represented the Emperor of Heaven at this time.
Ombuhong looked at Xu Youzhi and said, "Envoys from the Ming Dynasty don't need to be polite. If you come, please take a seat."
A Mongolian soldier walked up to Xu Yuanwailang and said, "Envoy, come with me!"
Xu Youzhi followed the other party, came to the empty seat next to Ombuhong's head, and sat down.
The hundred households of Jin Yiwei who followed Xu Youzhi into the Khan's Palace stood behind Xu Youzhi.
"Who is this?" Ombuhong looked at the hundreds of Jin Yiwei behind Xu Youzhi and asked doubtfully.
Xu Youzhi stood up and said, "He is the guard I am taking with me."
"It turned out to be the guard beside the envoy, but why didn't Ben Khan see him with weapons? Could it be that all the guards of the Ming Dynasty envoys don't need to use weapons?" Ombuhong asked curiously.
Hearing this, Xu Youzhi looked embarrassed.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of Qingcheng City, all the weapons they brought were taken away by the people of Tiger Flag, but it was difficult for him to say this, it was really embarrassing.
It's a pity that he didn't want to say it, because some people didn't want to let him go.
Then Halbala, who was sitting opposite Xu Youzhi, said: "I heard that all those who want to enter Qingcheng with unknown origins will have their armor taken away by the people with the Tiger Flag at the city gate. , could it be that the weapons guarding the envoys were also taken away?"
Which pot is not opened and lifted?
Xu Youzhi looked terribly embarrassed, and he hated the Tiger-Character Banner in his heart. If the Tiger-Character Banner hadn't taken away their weapons, he wouldn't have been ridiculed by the barbarians in front of him.
"Is it true that all the weapons guarded by the envoys were taken away by the people of the Tiger Flag?" Ombuhong didn't know whether it was intentional or curious, and sprinkled another pinch of salt.
Xu Youzhi knew that he couldn't do it without giving an explanation, but he didn't want to lose the dignity of the court, so he said: "I was worried that if I brought a weapon into the Khan's Palace, I would bump into the Khan, so I didn't let the guards bring in with a weapon."
"That's it." Halbala nodded with sudden realization, and at the same time looked at Omubuhong who was sitting at the top.
Although Omubuhong is young, he is not stupid.
When he saw Harbala's gaze and the Ming envoy's answer, he immediately understood that the Ming envoy who came to him had nothing to do with the Tiger Flag.
Xu Youzhi gently wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves.
Regardless of whether the other party believes it or not, it is finally over.
"I wonder what the envoy is doing when he comes to Qingcheng?" Since the other party has nothing to do with the Tiger Flag, Halbala has no interest in making excuses with the other party and asks straight to the point.
Xu Youzhi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the other party would be so direct. He thought that all Mongolians were like this, so he didn't think much about it and said: "I ordered my official to come and canonize the Great Khan of the Tumote tribe as the new King of Shunyi..."
"Has the envoy gone to see Shopkeeper Li?"
Before he finished speaking, he was forcibly interrupted by Halbala.
The title "Shopkeeper Li" was a title often used among merchants. Xu Youzhi frowned slightly, wondering why the other party mentioned a merchant.
"Is it possible that the envoy hasn't met Shopkeeper Li yet?" Halbala asked again.
Xu Youzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "I came to Qingcheng on the orders of the emperor. Why did Taiji ask me if I had seen the unknown shopkeeper Li?"
"Since I haven't met the envoy yet, I'd better go see Shopkeeper Li first, and it won't be too late to come see our Khan." Harbala said expressionlessly.
At this time, he was already sure that the Ming envoy had nothing to do with the Tiger Flag, and there might even be some contradiction between the two.
Otherwise, how could the envoys from the Ming Dynasty come to Qingcheng and not even the shopkeeper Li of Tiger Character Banner know about it.
