Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Last year, the Yarkand mission came to Nanjing and conveyed the request of the Yarkand Khanate to surrender to Ming Dynasty and become a vassal state.

Daming said that it could agree, but Yaerqiang needed to return the five guards including Hami and Shazhou that had been occupied before.

This is the small half of Turpan governor's territory, how could Abdullah be willing?
Even if he was willing and did so, his prestige in Yarkand Khan's country would be greatly reduced.

What's more, Abdullah ruled Yarkand for 20 years. Weifu used it for himself.
Although he had some knowledge about the military strength of Ming Dynasty through the Oala, Heshuote Khanate and the business travellers, but "seeing is better than hearing a hundred times", and he was always lucky if he didn't see it with his own eyes.

And in Abdullah's view, the Yarkant Khanate is farther away from Daming than the Wara Heshuote and Heshuote Khanates. If the Ming army has to work hard for an expedition, the logistical pressure will inevitably be enormous.

However, Yeerqiang fought in the local area, and unlike Heshuo Te, who took the initiative to attack Ming Dynasty, he had local advantages.If the Ming army really came to attack, it might not be able to win.

With the confidence to resist the Ming army, but also unwilling to hand over Hami and other five guards at all, Abdullah had to make preparations for full-scale hostility with Daming.

The first thing he did was to imprison the members of the Daming Mission as hostages.

However, the fourth prince Sima Yi, who personally led the team to Daming, knew that the strength of Daming was not something that Yaerqiang could be an enemy at all.

After he persuaded Abdullah many times to no avail, he secretly sent someone to inform Yan Ermei and others who were envoys to Yaerqiang about the matter.

Sima Yi's original intention was to let Yan Ermei and others know about this matter, escape from the city ahead of time, and return to Daming, so that he had sold Yan Ermei and even Daming.

If Ming and Yarkand go to war in the future, even if Yarkand is defeated and the country is destroyed, he still has a way out.

For this reason, he prepared all the customs documents, and even sent someone to bribe a city gate guard.

Unexpectedly, after Yan Ermei learned of this, her first thought was not to flee back to Daming with the mission, but to think of a person—Ban Chao, Ban Dingyuan!
Then came the change of Yarkand...
Time back to about a month ago.

Yaergan, the capital of the Yaerqiang Kingdom (Ming translation, later Shache).

The residence of the fourth prince Sima Yi.

"What?" Sima Yi looked at the confidant servant who had returned from the Daming embassy with a face full of surprise, "The Ming embassy is unwilling to escape?"

The servant nodded.

"Did you not make it clear that Father Khan wanted to imprison them as hostages, or did you not show my souvenir to gain their trust?" Sima Yi asked with a frown.

The servant was full of grievances, and said: "Master, I have shown your souvenir and explained the matter clearly, but the envoy is really unwilling to escape.

To be precise, it was Yan Ermei, the chief envoy, who was unwilling to escape with the envoy. "

"What's going on? Why is Yan Ermei unwilling to escape?" Sima Yi was puzzled.

"He didn't say why, he just said that Master, please go overnight and discuss something important."

Sima Yi showed hesitation when he heard the words.

'I am writing to the envoys this time to help them escape, but I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand scrutiny.That being the case, I sent the Buddha to the west, and went to the embassy in person to see what the envoy was planning. '

Thinking of this, Sima Yi immediately dressed up in disguise, and came to the Daming embassy with two of his confidant servants in the middle of the night.

Because the matter of being an enemy of Daming and imprisoning Daming is a secret matter just discussed by the senior officials of the Khanate, in order to avoid alarming the enemy, the curfew in the capital is not strict, so Sima Yi easily came to the Daming Embassy.

After seeing the chief envoy Yan Ermei and the deputy envoy Lu Yinshu, they sighed: "Lord envoy Yan, why are you unwilling to escape? You should know that the longer you stay here, the less hope of escaping back to Daming.

Or, Hell's envoy can't trust me and thinks I'm lying to you? "

"Of course not." Yan Ermei said.

In fact, even if Sima Yi did not send someone to deliver the letter, the mission could still get the news from other channels tonight——Abdullah thought that he had issued a password-locked matter, and the matter was secretly discussed by the senior officials of the Khanate in the palace. It will not be passed on.But they don't know that they have lost their hearts, and the palace is like a sieve, unable to keep secrets at all.

Sima Yi said: "Then why is Hell's emissary unwilling to escape?"

Yan Ermei asked back, "Why did we escape?"

Sima Yi was anxious, "Father Khan wants to imprison you, I tried my best to persuade him, but he didn't listen at all. If you don't run away tonight, you won't have a chance tomorrow."

Yan Ermei said calmly: "Fourth prince, I think your father Khan must have listened to the instigation of a traitor to become an enemy of my Ming Dynasty, and even to do such an impolite thing of imprisoning the envoy.

Therefore, I hope that the fourth prince can pass a word to your father Khan for me, saying that we have treasures to offer.

As long as I can present the treasure face to face, I have the confidence to persuade your father Khan to change his mind of being an enemy of Daming. "

Sima Yi was speechless after hearing this, and said earnestly: "Hell's envoy, didn't I tell you that I have tried my best to persuade Father Khan, but he is determined to fight against Daming——Daming wants to take it away. Hami and other places, no one in Khan wants to agree.

Besides, my father Khan has been on the throne for 20 years and has broken the Silk Road in the Western Regions. What kind of treasures have you never seen?

Since he decided to imprison you as hostages, he will never see you again for any treasure. "

"The fourth prince should have seen a magic lamp when he was in Nanjing, right?" Yan Ermei said, "We brought a magic lamp specially prepared for your father Khan, just in case."

After speaking, Yan Ermei uncovered a piece of red silk on the table.

Sima Yi looked over and saw a "crystal ball" bigger than a fist standing on the table!
But Sima Yi, who has been to Nanjing, knows that it is not a crystal ball, but a glass ball.

There is an "iron" tree growing in the glass ball, with crystal leaves of various colors hanging on the branches.

Below the glass ball is connected a gold-inlaid mahogany base that is more than an inch thick and half a foot long.There are mysterious runes connected to it, and it seems to be connected to some organs.

"Fourth Prince, please take a look."

As Yan Ermei said, she went forward and fiddled with some mechanism, which actually made the fist-sized glass ball light up, and it changed various lights one after another. At the same time, a clear and pleasant music played, which was extremely magical.

"Treasure, it's really a good treasure..." Sima Yi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help reaching out his hand to approach it, wanting to touch it.

Yan Ermei stopped him, and said with a smile: "Fourth prince, be careful, if this treasure is not handled properly, it will be broken."

After hearing this, Sima Yi could only stop reluctantly.

Yan Ermei asked with a smile: "If we offer this 'Xianle Magic Lamp', may your father Khan summon you?"

Sima Yi looked at the "magic lamp" and said: "I'm afraid my father Khan will think that he can get this magic lamp if you are imprisoned."

"If we are really imprisoned, we will destroy this magic lamp first, so that he can never get it again."

Sima Yi withdrew his gaze reluctantly, and asked, "Aside from being beautiful and pleasant to hear, does this magic lamp have other functions?"

Yan Ermei said with a smile, "Long-term exposure to the light of this magical lamp and listening to this fairy music can prolong your life."

After hearing this, Sima Yi looked at the magic lamp again, his gaze became even hotter, and he said: "Since it has this magical effect, my father Khan is definitely willing to give you a chance. It's just that the envoy of Hell still needs to think about it. How to persuade my father Khan."

"Fourth prince, don't worry, as long as you can demonstrate the magic of this magic lamp to your father Khan, you will be able to please him, and it will be easy to persuade him."

Sima Yi thought the same, how can the emperor not be interested in fairy treasures, prolonging life and even longevity?

If Yan Ermei could really change his father Khan's mind by relying on this magic lamp, then he would not have to bear the charge of helping the Ming envoy escape, but at the same time he could use it to strengthen his power, killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, Sima Yi agreed to the matter, saying that he would enter the palace early tomorrow morning.

After Sima Yi left.

The deputy envoy Lu Yinshu asked solemnly: "The chief envoy really wants to take such a risk? You should know that Abdullah may only allow you to enter the palace alone."

Yan Ermei narrowed his eyes and stared at the "magic lamp" and said: "How can you make extraordinary achievements without taking extraordinary risks?

What's more, we have received a tip-off from Sima Yi, so we do have the hope of escaping.But what should the Ming people doing business in Yaergan City, and even other places in the Yaerqiang Khanate?
Once the Yeerqiang Khanate breaks with our Ming Dynasty, it will inevitably detain the Ming business travelers in the territory.When it is introduced, these people will definitely suffer heavy losses, and even their lives are in danger. "

After hearing these words, Lu Yinshu sighed and stopped persuading.

Yan Ermei stepped forward and pressed a secret switch on the base of the "magic lamp"...

First more.
