Huang Puke didn't care what he felt in his heart. As soon as he finished reading the imperial edict, he took out a gift list, then respectfully knelt in front of Zhu Qizhen, kowtowed and shouted long live.
After the ceremony, Huang Pu raised the gift sheet with both hands above his head and said loudly: "To the Supreme Emperor, here are the daily necessities prepared for you by the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, and the two queens, as well as the list of personnel sent to serve you. , please take a look at it.”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qizhen immediately ordered Yuan Bin to take the list and take a closer look.
Zhu Qizhen, who had always been pampered and pampered since he was a child, could no longer stand the bitter cold outside the Great Wall. Staying in the Oara Army could be said to be like a year.
So after receiving the gift list, Zhu Qizhen was full of expectations, hoping that the court and the harem would take good care of him.
When I opened the gift list, I saw dozens of pages of various items listed one by one: at the beginning, the Empress Dowager gave a high-quality felt tent and ten carts of red charcoal. Then they were as follows: the emperor presented a first-class chariot and ten horses; the Supreme Empress presented gold and silver utensils and other items for daily use, and named four personal maids as nobles and sent them to serve the Emperor; the Supreme Empress Yisheng presented winter clothes and brocade. The equivalent.
Behind there are various things donated by the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, Shangshan Supervisor, and Imperial Hospital.
Looking at the list of personnel at the back, the imperial court not only sent thirty royal guards, ten eunuchs, ten palace maids, five imperial chefs, and three imperial doctors to serve, but also sent Ma Liang, the commander of the capital, and four wives. Come to the camp and take charge of taking care of the Supreme Emperor.
Zhu Qizhen was overjoyed and could not hide the joy on his face. Not to mention anything else, at least he could live a good life, and most importantly, the imperial court sent his most beloved minister Ma Liang here, which showed that his brother was still a caring person and not so ruthless.
So Zhu Qizhen ordered Huang Pu to stand up and asked pleasantly: "Where is Aiqing from? How come I haven't seen you before?"
Huang Pu replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen was a Jinshi for the 13th year of Zhengtong. Now he is the Youcheng of Honglu Temple, and concurrently serves as the Secretary of the Central Committee and the Supervisor of Guangxi Road."
Zhu Qizhen nodded when he heard this: No wonder, he was a Jinshi just last year, and his official rank is not high. It's normal that he doesn't know him.
After Huang Pu got up, he took out a gift list and presented it to Boyan Timur, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty canonizes your daughter as a Jingcairen. This is a gift from the imperial court to you and Jingcairen. , it will be regarded as a betrothal gift. Please also ask King Zhong to quickly arrange for talented people to serve the emperor."
Boyan Timur stood up quickly, took the hot gift list, and then looked at Ye Xian helplessly.
He snorted coldly first, then turned away and stopped talking.
Seeing that Huang Pu was getting angry first, he quickly added a handful of firewood: "Please arrange an open space for the grand master, and the lower official will build a felt tent for the emperor. I, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, have an order, so that the lower official must take care of the emperor's daily life. Only after settling in properly can you leave.
Please be considerate of the Grand Master. If you fail to handle the errand and disobey the emperor's orders, you will be beheaded if you return from a lower position. "
Ye Xian snorted again, waved his hand, and signaled his generals to take Huang Pu to do his errands.
Huang Pu saluted Zhu Qizhen and then left happily.
He also ordered Boyan Timur to accompany Zhu Qizhen and go back to the felt tent where he lived before to rest.
This is Huang Pu's strategy. If he doesn't say anything provocative, saying too much will only arouse Ye Xian's vigilance. But when it came time to give gifts, the emperor only gave gifts to Boyan Timur. He didn't give any money at first, and just left it alone.
This is more effective than verbal provocation. Although he knew that the emperor was trying to sow discord between his brothers, Huang Pu didn't care.
Huang Pu's provocation strategy is light but heavy. One or two provocations will definitely not fall into the trap, but long-term provocations cannot be prevented.
Although Huang Pu will leave tomorrow, Huang Pu has teammates who have been by his side for a long time.
Yes, this teammate is Xi Ning, the rebellious personal eunuch of the emperor.
Sure enough, after sending Zhu Qizhen and Boyan Timur away, he was so angry that he threw the silver cup in his hand on the carpet. Although he knew clearly that Huang Pu was provoking, he was still very angry:
Boyan Timur became a prince in a blink of an eye, and even successfully married his daughter to the Supreme Emperor. Now he was even more prestigious than himself, the Grand Master, and he didn't even refuse, which was really annoying.
Xi Ning, who was on the side, quickly came up and said to Ye first: "Grand Master, calm down. Tai Ming's new emperor is threatening you. You must not mess up your position."
In the imperial edict just now, there was a requirement to kidnap the traitor Xi Ning and send him back to the Ming Dynasty. So I thought that this was the threat Xi Ning mentioned, and waved my hands contemptuously: "How could I be threatened by the Ming Emperor? Don’t worry, I won’t send you back.”
Xi Ning smiled and said: "The grand master misunderstood, this is not what I said."
"Then what do you mean?"
"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty ignored the Taishi, but treated your younger brother favorably. This is a disguised threat to you: If you leave the Taishi in Oara, then everyone will live comfortably together. If you insist on sending the Taishi back to Beijing, then fine, Ming Dynasty The emperor canonizes your brother as the new leader of Wala and Grand Master of Dayuan.
Anyway, what Emperor Ming meant is: Either you are good and I am good and everyone is good, or you don’t make it easy for me and I won’t make it easy for you. Come on, let’s hurt each other together. "
He also nodded first: "Let's go to Beijing first and have a look. If the Emperor of Ming Dynasty can withstand the impact of my Great Yuan cavalry, I will consider his wishes."
Xining was a Jurchen who was forced to be castrated since she was a child and worked as a eunuch in the palace. Therefore, although Xining betrayed the Ming Dynasty, he cannot be regarded as a traitor.
Xi Ning hates Ming Dynasty and Zhu Qizhen. Zhu Qizhen stayed in Wala, Xi Ning could dominate and make things difficult for Zhu Qizhen. If Zhu Qizhen is sent back to Beijing, who will Xi Ning bully? So Xi Ning is the one who least wants to return Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qiyu saw this early on, so he repeatedly requested that Xi Ning, a traitor, be kidnapped and sent to the capital first, thus highlighting the importance of Xi Ning and prompting Ye Xian to trust Xi Ning more.
…
But he said that while he was dealing with the Ming envoys first, Zhu Qiyu was also summoning the Ming envoys who had just returned from Oara.
In the West Flower Hall, the second Umrah meeting since Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne was held. A group of civil servants, military generals and dignitaries crowded into the hall, listening to Chen Yi and Yang Shan tell the story of their mission to Wala.
Everyone listened to Chen Yi and Yang Shan with gloomy expressions. Zhu Qiyu first asked: "So, it seems that you are not willing to return the Supreme Emperor happily?"
Even if Yang Shan was loyal to the Supreme Emperor, he had to shake his head and admit that he was greedy and would not let go easily.
Zhu Qiyu told everyone: "Then we can only talk after the fight. Sure enough, only fists are the last word in matters in this world. Whoever has the strongest fist has the final say.
Thank you for your support, I believe that as long as the top and bottom work together and the three armies work hard, we will definitely defeat Ye Xian and welcome back the Supreme Emperor as soon as possible. "
