Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Chapter 558 Ming Dynasty: The Emperor Guards the National Gate (47)

After Yang Fan returned to Ningyuan City, he told Zhiyu truthfully what had happened in the Later Jin Dynasty.

Zhiyu nodded, "Master Yang, you completed your mission very well."

"Next, let's just wait for the Later Jin to send someone to our door."

Seeing Zhiyu's calm tone, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Your Majesty, Huang Taiji is young and hot-tempered. If we take such a high stance, what if he gets angry and sends troops to besiege the city?"

Hearing this, Zhiyu looked at Yuan Chonghuan with a smile, "Sir Yuan, if he attacks, it will be your business."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan looked at Zhiyu in surprise, "Your Majesty, you... didn't you come here to negotiate peace with the Later Jin?"

Zhiyu nodded, "Yes, I am negotiating peace, not asking for it."

"If we kowtow before the Later Jin, wouldn't that make us look afraid of them?"

"Just because our Ming Dynasty doesn't want to fight doesn't mean we can't fight."

"What if we lower our stance and Huang Taiji makes a huge demand, asking us to cede cities and pay tribute?"

"When it comes to business, you have to be aggressive, otherwise you'll only suffer losses."

Hearing Zhiyu's words, Yuan Chonghuan was somewhat helpless. "Your Majesty, I will go down now to mobilize the troops and generals. Let them cheer up and be ready to fight at any time."

In the next three days, Zhiyu sent people to invite Huang Taiji one after another. On the last day, Zhiyu sent Wei Zhongxian.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian, whose hair was mostly white, Huang Taiji could not help but frown, "Is there no one left in the Ming Dynasty? Even the old eunuch who guards the gate is sent as an envoy."

Wei Zhongxian was not angry when he heard what Huang Taiji said.

His Majesty said that he is the 9,900th emperor of the Ming Dynasty and represents the face of the Ming Dynasty. If the people of the Later Jin Dynasty look down on him, he can curse them however he wants, but he must not lose face for the Ming Dynasty.

But then again, he was nine thousand nine hundred years old. Was it really necessary for him to argue with a barbarian leader?

"Great Khan, His Majesty invites you to Ningyuan to discuss matters."

Huang Taiji raised his hand with a bad look on his face and interrupted Wei Zhongxian.

"It seems that your Emperor of the Ming Dynasty didn't take what I said that day to heart."

"Since you, the Ming Dynasty, are unwilling to offer a peace proposal, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying this, Huang Taiji stood up and shouted outside: "Come here, prepare the horses."

"This Khan will personally attack Ningyuan City."

Seeing that Huang Taiji's words were implied, Wei Zhongxian slowly raised his head and called him.

"Great Khan, I wonder what kind of attitude you desire?"

"These past few days, people from the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites have taken turns coming to invite the Khan. Isn't this enough to demonstrate the attitude of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Now, to show your respect for the Khan, His Majesty has even sent an old man like me here. What else could the Khan be dissatisfied with?"

"Great Khan, do you really have to ask our Majesty to come and invite you personally to show your respect?"

Huang Taiji laughed and said, "Now I don't care who invites me."

"Old thing, go back and tell the Ming Emperor that after I capture Ningyuan City, I will personally invite her to the Later Jin."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhongxian suddenly realized and looked at Huang Taiji, "Khan, so this is the attitude you want. It turns out that you think the Ming Dynasty's attitude is bad these days, and it is because the Ming Dynasty did not send troops to surround you that you are so angry."

"If I had known that you, Great Khan, would have liked this kind of attitude, why would the Ming Dynasty have bothered to be so polite and humble and sent so many civil officials to invite you, Great Khan?"

As he spoke, Wei Zhongxian smiled at Emperor Taiji and said, "Great Khan, just wait. I will go back and tell His Majesty that if you like the Great Ming, we will send troops to invite you."

After saying this, Wei Zhongxian walked out without even looking at Huang Taiji's ashen face.

Huang Taiji, who was humiliated by Wei Zhongxian, was now gloomy. Seeing that Wei Zhongxian wanted to leave, he could not help but sneer:

"stop."

"Did Ben Khan let you go?"

As soon as Huang Taiji finished speaking, a group of guards with knives surrounded Wei Zhongxian in an instant.
