Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 482 A master of taking out of context

It was getting dark, and lamps were already lit in the tents.

After the arguing stopped, there was a moment of silence. Immediately afterwards, the curtain was lifted again, and Zhu Jian came out from the tent with a warm smile on his face.

Li Shi and Luo Qi followed behind him, their expressions were very calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

"It's getting so late, and the Grand Master is here, and we are disappointed to welcome you."

Zhu Jian led the people and came quickly to Yexian, cupped his hands, with a strong smile on his face and a very enthusiastic one.

This look was so different from the emotions that came out of the account just now, that it took a while for him to get used to it.

After being stunned for a moment, he also spoke first.

"I was the one to be rude. Today you went to pay a visit to the Supreme Emperor. I was supposed to accompany you, but due to the complicated affairs in the military, I couldn't go with you. Now that the affairs here have been dealt with, it's time to come."

"Brege came back to me just now, saying that you have returned to the camp, so I came to have a look. I wonder if there is an edict from the Supreme Emperor?"

Perhaps because of what he just heard, Rang Yexian felt uneasy, so he started to inquire about the news within a few words.

This……

Zhu Jian didn't answer immediately, but rather hesitated.

Both parties knew well that on the territory of Wala, they went to visit the Supreme Emperor, and they were surrounded by heavy soldiers guarded by Wala.

For Ye Xian, it was not difficult to know the content of the conversation.

But I still asked first, this is not asking what the Supreme Emperor ordered, but what is the mission's plan.

However, Zhu Jian was hesitant, but Li Shi on the side was not polite, and said directly.

"Grand Master Lao asked, the Supreme Emperor did have an edict passed down, and the old man told us that everything should be based on the ancestors and the world's living beings, and we don't have to worry too much about other things."

Ye Xian's expression suddenly became a little sharp.

Of course he knew what the Supreme Emperor said, the original words at that time were.

"... If I stay in the north for a long time, there will be another war in Daming Wala, and there will be no peace for more than ten years. I don't care about myself, but the ancestors and the world are heavy..."

As a result, now that Li Shi said it out of the beginning and tail, it completely changed the taste.

So, is this the mission's final decision?
Squinting his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and asked first: "Master Zhu, is that really the case?"

Zhu Jian didn't speak, but Luo Qi beside him said.

"Teacher Mingjian, the Supreme Emperor's golden words, how dare we talk nonsense, the Grand Master said before that we want to increase the tribute envoys, after our discussion, although we have not diminished the sincerity of the peace talks, but we have no authority to make a decision."

"So I originally planned to bid farewell to the grand master tomorrow and come back to discuss with the grand master after returning to Beijing to report to the emperor. Unexpectedly, the grand master came late at night, which saved a lot of time."

After saying this, not only was he caught off guard, Zhu Jian also frowned, and gave Luo Qi a slight look.

The atmosphere of the scene was a bit awkward, and he stared at Zhu Jian first, and continued to ask.

"Master Zhu, if I remember correctly, you are the main envoy of the mission, why did you not say a word when the two deputy envoys were asked to answer?

Zhu Jian was a little hesitant at first, but now he is even more difficult to get off.

Now that the matter has come to this point, both Li Shi and Luo Qi have put their words to such an extent, if he denies it, it will be confirmed that the mission is at odds, and the subsequent negotiations will inevitably fall into a disadvantage.

What's more, I have to say that Zhu Jian himself didn't have enough confidence when he was arguing just now.

With the lessons learned from Xu Bin and others, he himself is very contradictory to make a decision on such a matter without authorization.

So in fact, the current situation is that Zhu Jian was sent to the army by two deputy envoys.

Therefore, after some struggle, Zhu Jian cupped his hands with a trace of helplessness on his face.

"It is really difficult for us to decide the conditions proposed by the grand master. We need to report to the emperor. The emperor also said today that although the old man wants to return to Beijing as soon as possible, since he has already been in Zen, he will not pre-order the affairs of the court. Therefore, I Then I decided to go back to Beijing first, and come to peace talks after obtaining the permission of the emperor."

As he spoke, Zhu Jian glanced at Li Shi and Luo Qi, clasping his hands as if they were being chased away.

"I made a hasty decision. I wanted to explain it to the grand master tomorrow, but I didn't expect the grand master to come here at this moment. I was rude."

Yexian's expression became more and more gloomy. The fists in his hands were clenched, and then loosened. Facing the skills of these people who took the meaning out of context, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a brief moment of silence, Yexian suddenly remembered the scene that Brege had narrated to him just before he arrived.

So, he took a few steps around the envoy's tent, then turned around and asked.

"Master Zhu, I see that most of the things and food around your camp are gone. This preparation doesn't seem like a sudden decision..."

Faced with a look of suspicion, Zhu Jian was very calm.

He was just caught between the two sides and couldn't make a decision, but now he has made a decision, and it is of course easy to deal with these questions.

"The grand master is overthinking. My mission is here not only for the peace talks, but also for the purpose of meeting the emperor."

"After all, Yibei is a place of bitter cold. The Supreme Emperor is honored with gold and jade. Although the Grand Master serves him wholeheartedly, the basic necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation here are no match for the capital."

"As subjects, we can't just sit back and watch the Supreme Emperor suffer. We should do our best to serve you in order to repay your kindness."

He also frowned first, looking at Zhu Jian's face, as if he wanted to see something from it.

But from the beginning to the end, Zhu Jian's expression remained calm, without the slightest tension or abnormality.

After pausing for a moment, Ye Xian suddenly laughed.

"You are all loyal ministers. You should serve with all your heart. I am not being unreasonable. Since you said that you can't make a decision, it is up to you to go back to Beijing to report to your emperor."

After speaking, he also turned around and gave instructions: "King Bodu, pass down the order to hold a banquet tomorrow, slaughter cattle and sheep, prepare wine for each other, and practice it for several envoys."

King Bodu bowed his head to take orders, and nodded to Zhu Jian and the others with a smile first, and left the camp with them without further words.

Zhu Jian maintained a smile, watched him off and waited for the people to leave first, then he exchanged a glance with Li Shi and Luo Qi, turned around and entered the tent.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, King Bodu personally took people to the camp of the mission, but saw that the entire mission had already been prepared and packed up the few salutes.

Zhu Jian and other envoys also stood outside the camp early and waited.

When he came to the tent, King Bodu bowed and said: "Everyone, the grand master has already set up a banquet, and I will carry it out for you, please."

The mission and others did not refuse, and followed King Bodu to the place.

He also took the seat first, followed by a group of Wala nobles, but at the moment their faces are not very good-looking, with thick dark circles on their faces, obviously they haven't slept well all night.

After exchanging greetings, Zhu Jian and others entered the table, and they were also quite enthusiastic at first. They invited more than a dozen people to play the pipa and flute, and a few Mongolian girls came out to dance to add to the fun. The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively.

Since it is a practice, after entering the table, both parties tacitly did not bring up any peace talks, but shared some anecdotes with each other, and it was enjoyable to watch.

Finally, after drinking for three rounds, I was slightly drunk, and asked in a joking tone.

"My envoys, you paid homage to the Supreme Emperor yesterday and are about to resign today, but are you afraid that I will detain you if I don't honor my reputation?"
