Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 484
Before meeting the Supreme Emperor, send all the daily necessities to the Supreme Emperor's camp.

This is their "doubt".

He also discovered this first, so he couldn't figure out what the real intention of the mission was.

Is it just a gesture of pressure, there is still room for negotiation, or...

Facing Yuan Bin's doubts, Zhu Jian sighed and said.

"Don't worry, General Yuan, he has obviously fallen into our scheme, otherwise, during the dinner just now, he wouldn't have asked us if he was afraid that he would detain him, so he left in a hurry."

"Only in this way can he believe that there is a real risk of the peace talks breaking down, and can he truly realize the seriousness of the situation."

During the negotiations that day, King Bodu pressed hard and threatened to detain the mission, so Zhu Jian and others turned against the army.

The "suspicion" they left was to mislead Yexian and make him feel that the members of the mission were out of fear and wanted to get out as soon as possible, rather than acting to force him to back down.

As Zhu Jian said, only in this way will Yexian feel that the peace talks will really break down.

After all, everyone has a heart to cherish one's body and wants to get out as soon as possible because of fear of being detained. This reason is easier to believe.

This explanation seemed to make sense, but Yuan Bin asked with a dark face.

"But, my lord, have you also made preparations at the same time, if you fail, you are really ready to return to the court?"

Zhu Jian didn't speak, and Li Shi and others were also silent.

Therefore, the answer is actually self-evident. A threat is a real threat only if it is implemented.

All threats that cannot be put into action cannot form a real deterrent force!
Zhu Jian and the others are obviously ready, and if they really refuse to make concessions, they will give up their preparations for the reunion.

After a while, Zhu Jian and others got up and said.

"General Yuan, it's not the first time that Ming sent an envoy to Wala, and the situation he's facing will only get worse and worse. It just depends on how long his string can be stretched. I believe it won't be too long... ..."

After all, the three of them looked at each other, got on their horses, and prepared to continue their journey.

Yuan Bin's face was gloomy, but now that the matter has come to this point, he has nothing to do. Beside him, there are already several mission guards who have been arranged, staring at him closely.

In desperation, he had no choice but to step on the horseback and continue to move forward with the mission.

However, not long after they walked, there was a sound of galloping horseshoes behind them.

Stopping, Zhu Jian and others looked back from a distance, only to see a small group of about 50 cavalry galloping in the distance. The leader had a scar on his face and was wearing aristocratic attire.

This person is none other than King Bodu who left quickly after taking them to the banquet.

Seeing the figure of King Bodu, Yuan Bin, who was originally depressed, suddenly thought of something, and his expression immediately became a little excited.

The same was true for Zhu Jian and others, but they were more calm than Yuan Bin, and they suppressed their emotions in just a moment.

It was necessary to do a full set of acting, the three of them looked at each other, and quietly gestured to the guards behind them.

As a result, a group of guards immediately became vigilant, and all of them drew out their long knives.

Surrounded by dozens of guards, Zhu Jian rode his horse forward without dismounting. Looking at the Bodu King who stopped dozens of steps away, he cupped his hands and asked.

"Your Excellency came here in a hurry, what's the matter? Are you afraid that my journey will be restless, so you came to escort me?"

Even though he said so, his voice was full of vigilance, and he kept looking at the small group of cavalry behind King Bodu.

King Bodu tightened the reins and stopped at a distance. Seeing the guard of the mission, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, and got straight to the point.

"Don't think too much, everyone, I am here this time to deliver a message to you on behalf of the Grand Master."

"The grand master said, now that the cold winter is approaching, if you return to Beijing, if you send envoys again, it may be delayed for several months. If you go north to the bitter cold place, you may not treat the emperor well."

"Therefore, Grand Master is willing to return the Supreme Emperor first. As for the tribute envoy, we can discuss it after the Supreme Emperor returns to the court."

This is the last fig leaf.

The biggest bargaining chip in Wala's negotiations is to have the Supreme Emperor in hand.

Once the Supreme Emperor is really sent back, who would want to discuss with you again...

Therefore, what King Bodu said basically meant that they completely gave up all the conditions.

The joy on the faces of Zhu Jian and others flashed away, and then they restrained themselves and asked.

"What your Excellency said is the truth? Why didn't the Grand Master explain it himself?"

As early as last night, after returning to the camp first, they guessed the mission's intentions, thinking that they might be out of fear and wanted to give up.

Therefore, King Bodu was not surprised by Zhu Jian's and others' suspicious questioning, and gave the reason he had prepared long ago, saying.

"I said earlier that the matter of the tribute envoy was not brought up by the grand master, but by the leaders of the tribes. Last night the grand master knew that you were going to leave, so he summoned the leaders of the tribes overnight and persuaded them all night, but they still didn't believe your decision. It's not about this."

"That's why the grand master held a banquet just now to practice it for you. After you left, those nobles felt regretful, so they let go and didn't mention anything else."

"That's why the grand master immediately ordered me to come over and stop you, so as not to let you make this trip in vain."

Heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, but remained calm on the face, Zhu Jian asked: "Is what your Excellency said true?"

Hearing the hint of hesitation in Zhu Jian's tone, King Bodu felt even more bitter, and said.

"Whether it's true or not, you will know when I go back. To show my sincerity, the Grand Master is still waiting at the gate of the camp..."

So, Zhu Jian nodded, turned around and pretended to "discuss" with Li Shi and Luo Qi.

Then he turned around and said: "In that case, I will follow Your Excellency for another pass."

Immediately, the entire mission turned around and headed towards Yexian's camp again.

Not long after, I saw the outline of the camp again. From a distance, as expected, I could see it. I also brought a group of Oirat nobles to greet me at the gate of the camp, and never left...

Datong City.

This ancient military town is still like a mottled and ferocious monster, crouching in the frontier fortress full of yellow sand.

However, in the past few days, Datong City has become extraordinarily lively.

It is said that it was to investigate a case of reselling imperial military weapons more than ten years ago. Because it involved court officials and honorable ministers with titles, the emperor paid special attention to it, and specially sent Minister of War Yu Qian to come here in person.

Therefore, almost every two days, Yu Shangshu would call different generals to the post station to inquire, and batches of old documents were continuously sent to the post station.

The sky was getting dark, Guo Deng finished his military affairs, came to the post station, and handed the greeting card. After a while, a young man came out to welcome him in.

After entering the post station, seeing the thick stack of old documents on the table, Guo Deng couldn't help but cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"Yu Shangshu is really diligent in government affairs. There are many old cases and clues are hard to find. My lord can bear his temper and read so many old documents bit by bit. This marquis really admires him."

Yu Qian smiled, got up and greeted Guo Deng, and welcomed Guo Deng in to sit down, Fang said.

"Actually, it's not just for this case. A few days ago, the old man proposed to the emperor a strategy to expand the Nine Sides, but the court rejected it."

"Afterwards, the Son of Heaven summoned me for a private meeting, saying that the nine-border strategy is beneficial to the country, but it is difficult to implement it in some places, so let me first go to Zhubian Town to inspect it, and after the plan is perfected and detailed, it will be discussed in the court."

"I see……"

Guo Deng nodded. Originally, he was still a little confused. Yu Qian just wanted to investigate an old case. Why did he have to go through all kinds of documents, and he also inspected and visited everywhere.

It turned out that he was still carrying such a mission.

However, it is a good thing to build Nine Sides. Although Guo Deng has been guarding Datong, he knows everything about the court.

Once the Nine Borders are completed, all the important towns will watch over and help each other, and the pressure on Datong's border defense will be greatly reduced. Therefore, Guo Deng will naturally support this matter with all his strength.

This topic is just a taste, some things, Guo Deng knows how to measure, and don't ask more questions that shouldn't be asked.

So, after pondering for a moment, he took the initiative to change the subject, said.

"According to the days, it has been half a month since Master Zhu took the mission to Oala, but I don't know how the peace talks are going..."

Yu Qian's expression was a bit complicated, and he was about to speak when a soldier suddenly came in, hurried in, and knelt down.

"Yu Shangshu, Lord Commander, the mission sent an urgent report."

The two immediately concentrated on it, Yu Qian took the military newspaper without hesitation, raised his hand and opened it, glanced at it hastily, with a gleam of joy on his face, and said.

"Okay, okay, Zhu Jian is really capable!"

Seeing this situation, Guo Deng also realized something, leaned forward, and asked nervously: "Yu Shangshu, but...is it done?"

Yu Qian nodded, handed the military report to Guo Deng, and smiled.

"That's right, Zhu Jian has already discussed all the details with Ye Ye. Seven days later, the Supreme Emperor will depart from Wala and is expected to arrive in Datong on the first day of September. Let me prepare for the reception..."

While talking, Yu Qian got up and turned back to the desk, and started to write.

In just a few moments, a brand new military report was completed.

Take the original military report from Guo Deng, and put them together in the envelope, Yu Qian carefully sealed it with wax, stamped his own seal, and handed it to the attendant next to him, said.

"Prepare the horse immediately, hurry up to [-] miles, and send it straight to the imperial court!"
