I am Emperor Wanli

Chapter 115 A small confrontation before the peace talks

Sifang Inn.

The place is now filled with envoys from the Tumed tribe.

In the front hall, Bosihar, who was sitting at the head of the table, said, "Hablie."

"The little one is here."

"Look around and drive the Ming people's jackals away."

"Yes."

Habre left the front hall with a few followers.

"Master Xuan Chi, please come out. There are no outsiders here."

A man came out from the side room. He was dressed in the same clothes as the Tumed follower. He was about forty years old and had a big beard. He was almost as handsome as Gao Gong.

He walked up to Boshahar and saluted.

"I have met Kunduleng Khan."

"Master, please take a seat."

Xuan Chi sat down at the lower left side, took out a string of Buddhist beads from his sleeve, and twirled them in his right hand.

Boshaer also took out a string of amber Buddhist beads from his arms, which were much rounder and thicker, and twisted them in his right hand.

"Master, the Khan has sent you to assist me in the talks with the Ming people. I'm counting on you for everything."

"Don't worry, Kundulenghan, I will do my best."

Bertha leaned slightly to the right, rested his right elbow on the armrest of the chair, and sighed softly.

"My eldest nephew Xin Ai Huang Taiji was so foolish that he actually attacked the convoy of the Ming people who were rewarding and enthroning him, breaking the rules. Not only that, he fell into the trap of the Ming people, and not only did he lose his troops, but he also got himself into trouble.

It's really embarrassing."

Xuan Chi didn't say anything and just listened quietly.

"Xin Ai Huang Taiji is my elder brother's eldest son. My elder brother also wanted him to inherit the family business. Now that something like this has happened, it is hard to say whether he can inherit the Khanship in the future.

This is one of them.

Secondly, Xin Ai was ordered by his brother to sit at the source of the Luan River and watch the wild dogs under Tumen Khan. Now he has not only lost all his elite troops, but also lost face. People on the grassland will only follow the strong leader. It will be difficult to suppress Tumen Khan in the future.

But after counting, Xin Ai is the only one in my Tumed tribe who is most familiar with the situation there, and is also most aware of the tricks of the people in the Chahar tribe. The Khan cannot find a replacement for a while. "

After what Beshaer said, Xuanchi probably understood Altan Khan's bottom line.

The Ming Dynasty must release Xin Ai, and the captured Xin Ai tribe members must also be released. The Xin Ai tribe cannot be allowed to suffer too much loss of strength, making it unable to keep an eye on the Chahar tribe in the east.

Xuan Chi bowed his head and replied, "Don't worry, Kunduleng Khan, the Ming people will definitely release Huang Taiji. From the time they sent the national letter to Tumote River and presented it to Altan Khan, they will not embarrass Xinai and will release him.

But they will use Huang Taiji's self-esteem to demand an exorbitant price. So in the previous talks, we need to be patient and proceed step by step to find out the bottom price of the Ming people."

Bosihaer nodded, "The great monk is wise. We will talk later, please pay more attention."

Xuan Chi bowed his head and replied calmly, "Yes."

The rosary in Boshaer's hand spun faster and faster, and the wrinkles on his face became more and more complicated.

"In the past, the Ming people were either pedantic and incompetent, or cowardly and useless, or greedy and eager for profit. This time, it was beyond our expectations. That Hu Zongxian guarded Datong and Xuanfu in Shanxi so tightly that no one could get in or out, and he attacked from time to time and killed our people.

Since they could not gain any advantage, the dozen or so Taijis, Zaisangs and Nayans who had been clamoring to flatten Datong in Shanxi and invade the capital finally lost their temper and stopped clamoring. Altan Khan also decided to invite us to the meeting.

Xuan Chi continued to remain silent.

He had been in Eastern Mongolia for a long time and knew that the 30,000 households in Eastern Mongolia were actually a large alliance consisting of dozens of tribes. Altan Khan was elected as the leader due to his strong strength.

The dozens of tribal leaders below each have their own tribes and troops, and each has their own say.

Whether to go to war or negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, Altan Khan had to wait until internal opinions were unified before he could make the final decision.

Bosihaer sighed, "Let's talk. I hope we can come to an understanding. When I go back, I can give an explanation to my brother."

Xuan Chi lowered his eyebrows and drooped his eyelids.

Bosihaer was also an old fox. He talked for a long time but refused to say a word of the bottom line for peace talks he had received from Altan Khan.

However, Xuan Chi did understand something from his words.

Habulie ran in from the courtyard door and stood in front of the front hall, bowing and reporting: "Kundulenghan, Nanman, um, the Ming Kingdom has sent people." "Okay. Master Xuanchi, please step aside for a moment."

"Yes."

Xuan Chi said this and turned back to the side room.

"Habuli, call Naimanman and Qiebulihua first, and then invite the people from Ming Kingdom in."

"Yes."

Three officials wearing blue and green official robes and black gauze hats came in from the yard.

Xu Wei walked in front, with a white pheasant embroidered on the chest of his official uniform.

The two people following behind him, one of them had a egret embroidered on the chest of his official uniform.

The last person was wearing a green official robe with a yellow oriole embroidered on his chest.

Being led to the front hall, Xu Wei took a glance and saw three people sitting in the hall, and the one in the middle was Bosihaer.

"Xu Wei, the doctor of the parlor of the Lifanyuan of the Ming Dynasty, pays homage to the great chieftain of Beshar."

Xu Wei stepped forward and bowed.

"These two are my colleagues. This is Wu Dui, the head of the Libei Bureau of the Lifan Yuan, and this is Li Zhi, the secretary of the Lifan Yuan's Office.

The three of us, under the order of Li Gelao, the head of the Lifanyuan, have brought some wine, food, cloth, and fruits and local specialties to offer to Chief Bosihar. Please accept them!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, and a servant brought in twelve boxes and placed them in the courtyard.

Lifanyuan?
Boshaer was stunned.

Didn’t Monk Xuanchi say that the people who should negotiate with us should be the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty? How come the Lifanyuan showed up?
It's all chaos!

Bosihaer raised his head and laughed: "Haha, the Ming Dynasty is really a country of etiquette, and the way of treating guests is really to treat each other with sincerity. You are polite, thank you!

Come, come, Doctor Xu, let me introduce you. This is our Tumed Zaisang Naimanman, and this is Nayan Qiebulihua. "

Zaisang is in charge of handling government affairs, Nayan is in charge of leading troops to fight, and the people that Bosihaer brought this time are both civil and military.

Xu Wei stepped forward and bowed politely, "I have met Naiman Manzaisang, and I am so handsome!"

"Haha, you're welcome."

The commander of the troops, Qiebulihua, answered with a smile. He was not tall and was as round and plump as a Maitreya Buddha.

Naimanman was tall and thin, with a cold face, and he just greeted him indifferently.

Like Bosihaer, both of them could speak the official language of the Ming Dynasty, but they spoke it with a Shanxi accent and in a stiff manner.

Wu Dui and Li Zhi came forward and bowed, saying, "We are Wu Dui/Li Zhi, the Director/Secretary of the Lifanyuan of the Great Ming Dynasty. We greet the great chieftain Bosihaer, and greet Naiman Manzaisang and Qiebuli Huanayan."

They sat down on both sides and Xu Wei spoke first.

"Chief Bosihaer has been exhausted on the journey. Please rest for two days in this Sifang Inn. If you have any requests, please just let me know. The Lifanyuan is willing to do its best to meet your needs.

After the chief has recovered, we will arrange for him to meet with Xin Ai Huang Taiji."

Bosihaer's eyes jumped, "How about Huangtai guitar?"

Xu Wei replied: "Very well, he can eat four bowls of rice, a chicken, and four pots of wine a day. Every five days, the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital will take his pulse and examine him.

It was just that I felt a little lonely, so at Huang Taiji's request, we sent people out of Jizhou Pass and brought back Huang Taiji's two wives and concubines to live with us."

Bosihaer laughed and said, "If that's the case, then I am relieved. This time when I come to the court, our Khan asked me to bring some gifts. Please ask Doctor Xu to present them to the emperor to show our sincerity."

"sure."

"Doctor Xu, which nobleman of your country will I talk to face to face during this peace negotiation?"

"In charge of the vassal affairs, Mr. Li Ge."

"Mr. Lord!" Boshaer was certain that this person in the peace talks was important.

After chatting for a quarter of an hour, Xu Wei stood up to say goodbye and left the Sifang Inn with Wu Dui and Li Zhi.

Bosihaer's face flickered a little, and he said to the side room: "Master Xuanchi, please come out."

Monk Xuan Chi came out, his face solemn, and shook his head: "Kundulenghan, the current situation is beyond our expectations!"
