Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 417 Negotiations
Zhu Houzhao left Qianqing Palace after being blackmailed by his father for a lot of money.

This matter is basically over, and the father will still leave things to himself, and there is no barrier between father and son.This is already the best ending Zhu Houzhao can think of.

In fact, what he did before was nothing more than worrying that his father would be angry with him.

It seems that the situation is better now, but the case still needs to be investigated. I hope that my subordinates and Qiyizhai will work harder to find out something as soon as possible.

When Zhu Houzhao returned to Xianyang Palace, the first negotiation between Daming and Horqin also started.

On Daming's side, Zhang Jun, the Minister of Rites, led the team, accompanied by more than a dozen officials, which showed that Daming attached great importance to this negotiation.

This is also related to the atmosphere in the court. Civil officials do not want to start a war this time, but also want to show their role.

In the past few years of foreign wars, all the people who performed brilliantly were from the military.This made the civil servant somewhat embarrassed.

The civil servants basically have no say in the war, especially the nobles, who have usurped a lot of power in this area in recent years.

So this time the civil servants hope to achieve their goals through negotiations, so that everyone can see their role and get some power back.

Zhang Jun was also placed high hopes, but Zhang Jun himself didn't seem to pay much attention to it, and he still looked like a fool.

The civil official who was supposed to be gentle, this time he even wore his hat crookedly, without any image at all, which made several negotiators behind him look at each other in blank dismay. No one knew why.

Although some people wanted to ask, Zhang Jun didn't give them this chance.

There are more tribes from Horqin, and basically every tribe that can talk has sent people over.Obviously they also attach great importance to this negotiation.

The two parties soon began negotiations at the meeting place.

For Horqin, coming to negotiate this time is actually quite aggrieved.After arriving in the capital, the imperial court did not treat them very well, and they did not achieve what they wanted.

For example, they wanted to visit the emperor, but no one received them; they wanted to visit some bigwigs in the court, but they were all rejected.

Except for these few officials who want to negotiate with them, basically no one has contact with them.And the ordinary officials who received them were all arrogant, making them realize that this negotiation might not be easy.

After the officials from both sides sat down, Zhang Jun leaned on a chair, as if you should ignore me, and you could tell from his expression that he was in a bad mood.

As a result, the air pressure in the room became very low before the negotiation even started.

"Have we all arrived yet?" Zhang Jun raised his head and glanced at his deputy Honglu Temple Shaoqing Wang Qi, and asked expressionlessly.

Wang Qi glanced at Zhang Jun helplessly.

It's not that he didn't know Zhang Jun before, but Zhang Jun didn't feel like this before. Although he wasn't a Jinshi, he was also a scholar, but now he looks more like a street ruffian.

On this occasion, he couldn't say anything, so Wang Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "It's all here."

As for Horqin, Zhang Jun didn't even look at it, let alone ask if they couldn't get together, and said directly: "Okay, let's start. You guys talk, I'll listen."

Horqin also knew that Zhang Jun was in charge this time, and immediately frowned.

They didn't expect why Daming sent such a person over.

Isn't this person the Minister of Rites of Daming?Some of them had contact with civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they knew that Zhang Jun was not like this before.

The leader on Horqin's side was an old man in his fifties with a gray beard and slightly squinted eyes.

Hearing Zhang Jun's words at this time, he slowly opened his eyes, and said softly: "Our people are also here, let's start if possible."

He didn't seem to be angry at Zhang Jun's slight.

Zhang Jun took a look at the old man, who was called Wuyun Gerile.

Zhang Jun has also known about this person, after all, this is his main opponent this time.

The name Wuyungerile means wisdom like light among the Mongolian people, which means that this person's wisdom is as dazzling as light.

A person with such a name is naturally not a simple character, so Zhang Jun also attaches great importance to him.

Seeing Wuyun Gerile's appearance now, Zhang Jun probably confirmed his conjecture in his heart, so he didn't say anything more, and turned his head to Wang Qi and said, "Okay, let's start!"

Wang Qi nodded, then reached out to take a booklet, and said to the other party: "Your Majesty is furious about the matter of you instigating Duoyan Sanwei to invade Daming, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also very angry, and everyone is excited. Whether it is the Black Dragon Army It’s still the Ming army from all over the place, and the invitations to fight are already piled up in His Majesty’s Longshu case.”

"It's just that after you sent the letter of surrender, His Majesty felt that going to war would inevitably lead to death. Based on the idea that God has good virtues, His Majesty agreed to this negotiation. But you still have guilt."

Wuyun Gerile frowned, did people like himself encourage Duoyan Sanwei?
The answer is yes, and not less.

In order to prevent Duoyan Sanwei from invading Horqin, the people on his side gave them advice.Their southward migration was also the intention of the whole tribe. At the same time, Duoyan Sanwei invaded Daming this time, and he himself did his best in the back.

It's just that no one expected Dayan Khan to be defeated, and the situation suddenly turned sharply.

Originally, everyone thought that even if they didn't win, they would be as close as before. Who would have thought that they would lose so badly.

Dayan Khan's defeat didn't matter, Duoyan Sanwei was directly wiped out by Da Ming, and even his own tribes were threatened by Da Ming.

Under such circumstances, coming here is also forced and helpless.

Although he knew that the other party said these words to gain more advantage in the negotiation, Wuyun Gerile still realized that something was wrong, and the other party seemed to have a very big appetite.

Wang Qicai didn't care what Wuyun Gerile thought, and continued to speak: "So this time Daming's conditions are very simple. First, you have to submit a letter of confession, and His Majesty will forgive you as appropriate. Do you agree to this?"

After hearing Wang Qi's words, Wu Yunge'er completely reacted.Daming is so strong, it seems that he has no intention of talking about it.

He looked at Wang Qi, and said slowly, "Since it's a negotiation, shouldn't it be? You're just making a unilateral request."

After he said these words, Zhang Jun who was sitting on the side suddenly spoke
