"Mahamu and others from Oara brought tens of thousands of cavalry and threatened Western Xinjiang for three months. Even if the imperial court sent a team of envoys, they would probably have to stay in the pass at this time."
"We still took a lot of risks when we came. The windy and snowy road and the snow-capped mountains were not easy to survive. You also know that winter is not suitable for long distance travel. It's just that there was an emergency and we had to come."
Huang Bengu said, not forgetting to take out his frozen hands.
Fu An didn't care about Huang Bengu's frostbite, but gritted his teeth and cursed angrily: "Zhu Gui is ambitious, Zhu Yunxi is even more vicious! Kill well and burn well! Are the emperor and the prince really okay?"
Zhou Chen nodded slightly and said firmly: "The Dusi, the Chief Envoy, and the Imperial Envoy have all received official documents from the imperial court, including many written by the emperor and the prince. The court is stable and there is no shock. The emperor is fine and the prince is healthy."
Fu An immediately knelt down towards the east, kowtowed three times, and shouted: "My lord Fu An, may the emperor live long and may the prince live forever! May the Ming Dynasty never have internal troubles again!"
Wang Quanzhen followed and saluted.
Empress Fu An was extremely frightened. There were universal enemies outside and royal family members who harbored evil intentions inside!
Emperor Jianwen was able to strategize in this storm, not only eliminating powerful enemies one after another, stabilizing the situation on the border of the Ming Dynasty, but also fighting wits and bravery, risking his own life and catching his rebellious uncle and younger brother hiding around him. not easy.
The Ming Dynasty wanted to prosper, but the process was really tortuous!
Fu An hoped that Emperor Jianwen could continue to rule. Compared with Emperor Hongwu, he was more tough and soft, and more humane. His cruelty was only reserved for his enemies and opponents, and his kindness was reserved for most people.
For more than ten years, the achievements of the Jianwen Dynasty have been obvious to all. The national power has been growing day by day, and the Silk Road has also begun to become an endless stream. Isn't this proof that the prosperous age is coming?
Fortunately, the conspiracy is dead.
Fortunately, Jianwen is still here.
The national destiny of the Ming Dynasty will not change suddenly in the 11th year of Jianwen, and the rising national destiny will not suddenly stop and decline.
Fu An was filled with emotion, and Wang Quanzhen was equally sad.
The news from the mining area was too late. So many things happened in Ming Dynasty. After such a long time, I didn't even hear the slightest news.
"It's better now. Uliangha is gone, the main Tatar force has been completely wiped out, Oala has surrendered, and the military pressure on the north of the imperial court has been reduced to a minimum. In the next ten or twenty years, as long as we don't let chaos arise on the grassland, we can appease the people on the grassland. People, the Ming Dynasty will be out of danger."
Zhou Chen said relaxedly, his eyes full of longing.
Fu An straightened his chest: "I never thought I would see such a grand event in my lifetime. Without external enemies, as long as there are no problems within the court, the Ming Dynasty's national power will reach unimaginable levels!"
They reminisced a lot about old times.
Sun En walked in and said to Zhou Chen, Fu An and others: "I'm sorry to interrupt your reunion. It's just that the Sultan said that another wave of Ming envoys have arrived. Tomorrow morning, the Sultan will receive all of you in the palace. "
"Another wave of Ming envoys?"
Zhou Chen was confused, and Huang Bengu was also puzzled.
Wang Quanzhen frowned and asked Zhou Chen, "Is it possible that the imperial court sent us to replace us?"
Zhou Chen shook his head.
Impossible, there is only one checkpoint and road to enter the Timurid Kingdom. Even if it is really a team of envoys sent by the imperial court, it is impossible for them to be only one day away from me. Someone will definitely notify them of this distance in advance. ….
Sun En didn't wait for others to guess again, and said, "It's a businessman named Latib. He said he was sent as an envoy to Timur on the order of the king."
"Wait, is it the king's order or the emperor's order?"
Zhou Chen caught the question and asked quickly. Sun En was stunned for a moment, a little unsure: "I heard the report, it seems to be the king's order. As for whether there is a problem with the translation, I will send someone to verify it."
Fu An's face was solemn: "There must be something wrong with the general affairs. When did the vassal king have the right to send envoys?"
Envoys represent the imperial court, also known as angels.
The envoys of the Ming Dynasty to various countries came from the capital and were appointed by the emperor. They were required to hold envoy documents and follow envoy etiquette.
.
Under special circumstances, the vassal king of the frontier can send people to a certain country to deliver news, communicate the situation, and understand intelligence. This is a general exchange.
No vassal king or locality has the authority to send a team of envoys to talk to the country in the name of Ming envoys.
The Western Xinjiang Dusi sent envoys to Samarkand. It was the emperor's special decree and permission. But I didn’t hear that the emperor approved two teams of envoys and they appeared in Samarkand almost at the same time.
"We'll know the situation when we take a look tomorrow."
Zhou Chen was not disrupted by this sudden situation, but continued to communicate with Fu An and Wang Quanzhen after Sun En left: "Rivara sent envoys here some time ago, and we need to take this opportunity to see Harry's Attitude. If he still has the slightest ambition towards the Ming Dynasty, the court may not be able to tolerate him. If he surrenders wholeheartedly and is unwilling to harm the western frontier of the Ming Dynasty, the court is likely to increase its efforts to support Harry in the future..."
The gentle light of the early sun shines on the glorious palace.
Strong palace sergeants, mighty generals, and civil servants who thought they were wise all entered the palace one after another.
Harry sat on the throne and summoned the management of the Mulongtao gold mine and the Ming envoys.
Latib took Renebo, Amina and others into the splendid palace and saluted devoutly.
Zhou Chen, Huang Bengu, Fu An and others looked at Latib and looked at each other in confusion.
Is this an envoy from the Ming Dynasty?
This doesn't look like a Ming Dynasty person!
Harry looked at it and spoke to Latib first: "You said you are the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, but do you recognize them? They came from the Western Xinjiang Province of the Ming Dynasty on the emperor's order, but I don't know whose order you are following. Coming to Samarkand??"
Latib looked at Zhou Chen, Huang Bengu and others, and grinned: "Are you really here under the emperor's will? Great, we can finally contact the Ming Emperor."
Although it has a weird tone, it is indeed Chinese.
Zhou Chen walked towards Latib, looked carefully at the two envoys, one large and one small, and asked seriously with a cold face: "Who are you?"
Latib quickly explained: "Dear envoys of the emperor, we are envoys sent by Prince Ning of the Ming Dynasty and the governor of Africa. On the order of King Ning, we came to Samarkand to discuss matters in the Mediterranean. King Ning specially Please remind us to get in touch with the Ming Dynasty to inform us of the details of Africa, the Mediterranean and other places."
"Prince Ning?!"
Zhou Chen, Fu An and others were surprised.
King Ning had been away from Ming Dynasty for several years. He went to Africa. Zhou Chen, Fu An and others knew this, but no one thought that there would be news about King Ning, who had been out of touch!
One of Zhou Chen's missions is to learn about Prince Ning's information!
Huang Bengu asked in a deep voice: "What evidence do you have to prove that you were sent by King Ning?"
Latib took out a cowhide bag from his arms and took out the letter inside: "King Ning said that only people from the Ming Dynasty can understand this letter. This is a letter that affects the fate of countless people. As long as you can prove it to yourself, As an envoy, I will hand it over to you.”
