My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 680 Multinational Mission

The two countries' missions arrived in Xijing one after another. In order to show their attention, Zhu Zhanhe also went to greet them in person.

It happened to be a coincidence that the rulers of the Black Sheep Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire were relatively young, and they also attached great importance to this mission. They both sent their younger brothers as envoys.

For example, the envoy of the Black Sheep Dynasty was named Jahan Shah, who was the younger brother of Sultan Iskandar of the Black Sheep Dynasty.The envoy sent by the Ottoman Empire was named Mufas, who was the younger brother of the Ottoman Sultan Murad II.

The two envoys were both very young, about the same age as Zhu Zhanhe. When they met him, the burly prince, they were both very enthusiastic. However, both of them were also very cautious. When they first met, they just tried a few words and said nothing. They didn't directly state their purpose of coming. They probably wanted to see with their own eyes the reality of the big man before making a decision.

So Zhu Zhanhe arranged for the diplomatic missions from the two countries to live in the post house in Xijing and allowed them to move freely in Xijing. He believed that it would not take long before they would take the initiative to find him.

In addition to the missions from these two countries, there is another mission that has finally arrived in Xijing, that is, the negotiating mission sent by Shaharul. Whether Ulugh Beg can return smoothly depends on the results of their negotiations.

"Prince, Timur's delegation has arrived, why don't we go and greet it?"

Li Qi looked at Zhu Zhanhe who was lowering his head to review the memorial, and finally couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Zhanhe personally greeted the first two envoys. However, this time Timur's envoy arrived, but Zhu Zhanhe did not even move.

"Haven't we already asked officials from the Ministry of Etiquette to greet him? They can just take care of it."

Zhu Zhanhe replied without raising his head.

"Your Highness, do you want to hang out Timur's envoy? Do you want me to arrange for them to come to the post house? When the three parties meet, it will definitely be very exciting."

Li Qi also immediately guessed Zhu Zhanhe's intention, so he suggested.

"This is a good idea. You can make arrangements, but you must also be careful not to let them start fighting."

Zhu Zhanhe finally raised his head and smiled.

Li Qi has handed over the bank's affairs to the people in the account department. After all, the bank is on the right track. Zhu Zhanhe is in charge of the general direction and will usually not make mistakes. And Li Qi is now in charge of Zhan Shifu. He is equivalent to the long history of the palace, and is responsible for assisting Zhu Zhanhe in handling various government affairs. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be able to take over from Yang Shiqi in the future.

"Yes, this subordinate will do it!"

Seeing that his suggestion was adopted, Li Qi also said happily.

It is actually not easy to work with Zhu Zhanhe, because Zhu Zhanhe has too many ideas and sometimes gets lazy, leaving many things to his subordinates. Therefore, Li Qi is busy almost from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. You must try your best to express yourself and not let people think that you are just a machine without ideas.

As soon as Li Qi left, he saw Zhu Gaoxu and Yang Shiqi walking in. Zhu Zhanhe immediately stood up and said, "Father, why are you here?"

"I discussed with Yang Shangshu about the specific details of ceding Kabul. When you negotiate with them later, there are some things you should pay attention to."

When Zhu Gaoxu was talking, Yang Shiqi next to him also took out a map with many markings on it, which were obviously the result of discussions between Zhu Gaoxu and him.

Zhu Gaoxu has left all the negotiation matters to Zhu Zhanhe. On the one hand, he is too lazy to waste time on such matters, and on the other hand, he also wants to exercise Zhu Zhanhe's ability in this area.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu did not give up completely. For example, he was still very concerned about the cession of Kabul. When he was in Peshawar, he made a detailed study of the terrain of Kabul, which he just needed now. "The terrain of Kabul is complex. In addition to the main city, there are several fortresses. These areas must also be allocated to us..."

Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the markings on the map and told Zhu Zhanhe his thoughts in detail.

Zhu Zhanhe also listened very carefully. Kabul's location is very critical. As long as it is controlled, it can interact with Peshawar. They are like two tentacles of the Han Dynasty, allowing the Han Dynasty to extend its influence to Central Asia.

After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking his thoughts, he smiled and asked Zhu Zhanhe: "Now that the envoys from the three countries have arrived, Zhanhe, what are you going to do next? Are you going to contact Timur's envoy immediately?" Start negotiations?”

"I plan to hang out the people from Timur's mission first, and let them interact with the missions from the other two countries. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises."

Zhu Zhanhe chuckled.

"Your Highness, by doing this, you are just putting three envoys on the fire to roast. I think they will be rushing to see you tomorrow at the latest!"

Yang Shiqi couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhu Zhanhe's words.

"This method was not thought of by me, but proposed by Li Qi."

Zhu Zhanhe smiled and explained that this was not his fault.

"Li Qi is a good person. If you train him well, he will definitely be a pillar in the future!"

It was rare for Yang Shiqi to praise someone, and it was obvious that he was really satisfied with Li Qi.

At the same time, Timur's delegation finally entered Xijing City, and then, under the arrangement of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, checked into the post house for receiving foreign guests.

Besunhu served as the envoy for this mission. He believed that the reason why Ulugh Beg was captured was all his fault, so he had the responsibility to bring his eldest brother back to his country, so he strongly requested to be the envoy.

Shaharul understood his son's mood, but he knew very well that Besunhu had a violent personality and was not suitable for negotiating with big men, so he sent an official named Huo Zhe as his deputy. This Huo Zhe was beside Shaharu. An important minister with a very calm personality, Shaharul was very relieved to have him preside over the negotiations.

Besunhu and Huo Zhe came to the post house. As soon as they entered the gate, they saw two flags, one was the black sheep flag of the Black Sheep Dynasty, and the other was the crescent flag of the Ottoman Empire.

In addition, some people from the Black Sheep Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire can also be seen walking around in the post house. When these people saw the Tamerlane delegation coming in, they were not surprised, but instead showed a somewhat meaningful smile. , obviously they had known for a long time that Shaharul would send someone.

"Why are they here?"

Besun suddenly frowned when he saw people from these two countries. Although he was guarding the Samarkand area, he also knew that the Black Sheep Dynasty and the Ottomans were enemies of his country. The reason why his father Shaharul moved the capital to Herat was Mainly to deal with threats from these two countries.

"Oops, they must know about our defeat to the big man, and they want to form an alliance with the big man!"

Huo Zhe immediately guessed the intentions of the two countries, and he even had a premonition that the arrival of the missions from the two countries would probably make their negotiations with the Han more difficult.
