In the side palace, Hai Lanzhu was very nervous.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty summoned her and saw her alone!

She was a very timid and timid person. How could she dare to meet the rumored Emperor of Ming Dynasty alone?

BumuButai frowned, worried, calm on his face, glanced at the inner prisoner who was passing the message not far away, and whispered: "Sister, according to our previous answer, if the Emperor of Ming Dynasty asked something else, you would say that he didn't know, and he would not make things difficult for you."

Hai Lanzhu held Bumubutai's hand tightly, her palms were sweating and her face was full of worry.

Bumubutai smiled softly and comforted her, "Sister, don't worry, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty saw her first, and it won't take long to see me."

Hai Lanzhu felt her heart jump out, her pretty face was like water, her eyebrows and eyes were filled with affection. It took a while before she could calm down. She smiled at the inner supervisor and said, "Let's go."

This inner prisoner is also an old man in the palace. He is in his thirties and has experienced the four dynasties of Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi and Jingzheng until now. It can be said that he has seen all kinds of women, but this Mongolian woman still makes his eunuch's heart beat a little.

He frowned. Although he was not at a high position, he didn't want such a woman in the palace who could charm Junxin to appear.

"Please." said the inner supervisor. He could still distinguish his identity and what to do.

Hai Lanzhu looked at Bumubutai again, then carefully followed the inner prisoner and walked towards Jingyang Palace.

BumuButai looked at the backs of a group of people, frowned, feeling uneasy. Hai Lanzhu was the one who could not hide the matter. She was not sure what the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would find out from her.

Hai Lanzhu entered the imperial study room, looked straight at Zhu Xu, walked closer, and saluted softly, "Corchin envoy, Hai Lanzhu meets His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

This was the first time Zhu Xu saw Hai Lanzhu and silently gave him ninety-five points in his heart.

At the age of twenty-eight, a woman's best age in her life, with a soft and plump body, a pretty face as smooth as water, and a pair of beautiful eyes that seem to be resentful and complaining, delicate and pitiful.

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "No wonder Huang Taiji will be favored by this woman in the next half of his life. It's really a disaster."

He was not a hungry ghost in the lust. He smiled slightly and said, "The noble envoy is exempt from the gifts. Apart from Badali's handwritten letter, does he have any other purpose?"

Hai Lanzhu was nervous and at a loss. She stood up as she spoke, lowered her head, and said as if she was in the endorsement: "I am here by the order of the Khan to come to practice with the Ming Dynasty. I hope to abandon the past grudges with the Ming Dynasty, and to cultivate the brothers forever, and never attack the enemy forever."

Zhu Xu didn't know what Huang Taiji's purpose was. Hai Lanzhu was basically talking nonsense. Her fingers were silently tapping on the table, and nodding gently: "I want the border to be stable in the Ming Dynasty, so it is naturally a good thing to repair Korqin."

Hai Lanzhu lowered her head, her eyes kept blinking, and her heart was pounding. Zhu Xu spoke, but she didn't know how to answer.

Zhu Xu looked at Hai Lanzhu and could feel her body trembling slightly, her eyes narrowed, and her mouth smiled more and more: "What are the most busy people in Korqin?"

Hai Lanzhu's heart was thrilled, she didn't dare to look up, and frowned and said, "I usually stay in the house and rarely go out."

Zhu Xu knew that after Hai Lanzhu lost her husband, she had been widowed at home. However, no matter whether it was his identity or appearance, she was coveted by her, which made her in Korqin and had a very bad reputation.

"How many people do you Korqin have now?" Zhu Xu said calmly.

Hai Lanzhu thought for a while and said, "There are 200,000 households."

In fact, Zhu Xu has always wanted to figure out the population of Mongolian tribes and use this to calculate their warable soldiers, but he has never succeeded. Because these tribes themselves don’t know them, only rough statistics.

Hai Lanzhu said that "two hundred thousand" is water, but it is hard to say if it is too much or too little.

Zhu Xu was wandering in his heart and said, "How many horses do you have now? I, Daming, hope to trade some."

Although Hai Lanzhu didn't know the specific government affairs, she also knew that there was not much salt left in them now. She recalled seriously and said, "There are 50,000 pieces that can be sold to Daming."

Zhu Xu thought about it. From the number of horses, we can roughly calculate the number of people that Korqin can fight. In addition to Huang Taiji and other tribes of the alliance, 100,000 cavalry should be able to get all of them.

If he wants to go south, it will definitely take a year or two to return to Beijing. Before leaving Beijing, he must ensure stability in the north.

Zhu Xu was not worried at the Great Wall Pass. He had enough food and grass, had enough troops, and was protected by cannons. Huang Taiji suffered several losses and would not take risks. The only thing he could worry about was Liaodong.

There are no passes there, and the cavalry come and go freely. If Huang Taiji is allowed to kill the Yalu River, Korea and Korea cannot occupy it for a long time, destruction alone will not be able to bear it, especially crucial immigration.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty had extremely limited means of using Korqin, and should focus on "appeasement" and keep a low profile.

This is also Huang Taiji's current strategy. The Later Jin Dynasty has been destroyed in name only, with only 20,000 cavalry left. If it is accidentally broken, Korqin may not be able to control it anymore.

This is a layer of window paper that everyone knows well. No one will break it in a short period of time. It will be stalemate until one side is ready and takes the lead in attacking.

Zhu Xu still has to race against time!

Hai Lanzhu obviously didn't know much, and she was not the leader of the negotiation. If she wanted to test something, she had to come from Bumubutai.

Zhu Xu looked at Hai Lanzhu again and said with a smile, "Since you are here in the capital, just have some fun. I will give you privileges. You can walk around the palace and the imperial garden, and you can also leave the palace."

Hai Lanzhu's hands suddenly tucked together, and quickly retracted, her eyes flashed, and she saluted with panic expression: "Thank you Emperor Ming."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "You don't need to be polite, come here, please go and rest."

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded and ordered someone to take Hai Lanzhu out.

Hai Lanzhu was extremely panicked. She knew that her actions must have been seen by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. She didn't know if Bumubutai would leak it, and she was so worried.

Zhu Xu watched Hai Lanzhu leave, pondered and said, "Chuan Sun Chuanting comes to see me."

Sun Chuanting is the Prime Minister of Liaodong and is responsible for all military and political affairs.

Liu Shimin responded and sent someone to communicate.

When Sun Chuanting hurried into the palace, Bumubutai calmly comforted Hai Lanzhu and said, "Sister, don't worry, it doesn't matter if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty saw it, as long as it is not exposed, it will be fine."

Hai Lanzhu looked panicked. She was afraid that she would not be able to go back. Listening to Bumubutai's words, she gently stroked her chest and said, "That's good, that's good, when will we... go back?" Although returning to Korqin will be locked in the house again, it is better than being worried here.

Bumubutai comforted his sister well, and the color between his eyebrows was not dissipated.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty obviously did not have the intention of "cultivating well" and was always thinking about playing the grassland. Chahar was just a move, and I don't know if there were any other arrangements. The Jin Dynasty could not be in Korqin for too long. It was necessary to find other places to establish a country. Where is the wealthy area around the Ming Dynasty in the other places!

The increasingly powerful Ming Dynasty did not meet their needs.

"My minister, Sun Chuanting, please see the emperor." Sun Chuanting entered the imperial study and saluted Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Forgive me, let me talk about Liaodong. I just met the Korqin envoy."

Sun Chuanting understood and thought, "Emperor, there are nearly two million people in Liaodong. The majority of us are Han people, mainly distributed around Shenyang. Since last year, I have been arranged on the North Korea and the South Korean side. If Huang Taiji and Korqin join forces, the Jinyiwei and the big basket can be found out in advance and can be prepared early. Liaodong has no danger to defend, and the cavalry comes and goes freely, and I have no power to stop it. However, if 30,000 comes, I can keep 10,000, and I can keep 5,000. If 50,000 comes, I can keep 20,000, and I can keep 8,000, and I can keep 30,000, and I can keep 20,000, and I can keep 20,000, and I can keep 20,000. Once, there will be no second time in three years!"

Zhu Xu frowned. He didn't like this feeling, and the initiative was completely in the hands of others. However, it was not too passive. Huang Taiji could not withstand such losses.

"As for the internal situation, we still need to continue cleaning up. We cannot give Huang Taijili the opportunity to cooperate with the outside world." Zhu Xu pondered and said, "Meng Qiaofang, Bao Chengxian can't stay anymore. Find a reason to get rid of it."

Sun Chuanting had no objection, and no one who turned against the bone should have a good ending. He looked up at Zhu Xu and said with a strange look, "Emperor, I have some different views on the strategies of the Mongolian tribes."

Zhu Xu was slightly stunned and said with a smile, "Tell me, look."

Sun Chuanting looked up at Zhu Xu and said calmly, "Emperor, I believe that Chahar is no longer enough to support him, so I should give up and instead support Korqin."

"Support Korqin?"

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, his tone with a hint of confusion.

"That's right," Sun Chuanting said: "Korqin and Huang Taiji have a close relationship, and Jiannu and Mongolian tribes have a deep grudge. If our dynasty enthroned Korqin as the Mongolian Khan, it will not only expand Korqin's ambitions, but also make the tribes on the grassland worry about Korqin, stand on Chahar's side and balance the grassland power. At the same time, it can also alienate Korqin and Jiannu."

Zhu Xu understood what Sun Chuanting meant, and that he wanted to put Korqin on fire and become a public enemy of the grassland, and force the tribes of the grassland to unite to deal with Korqin. However, it was not without any harm. He gave Korqin a great righteousness. If they took the opportunity to grow stronger, when they could not stop it, the Ming Dynasty would have lost the great righteousness of interference.

"This is a double-edged sword." Zhu Xu looked at Sun Chuanting and said in a slower tone.

Sun Chuanting naturally knew that this could make Korqin the target of public criticism and also make Korqin like a tiger. If one is not good, it will really help Korqin and Huang Taiji. He said, "Emperor, Lin Danhan is an A Dou who cannot be supported. The court cannot place hope on them. Although this strategy is risky, it will continue to consume the power of the grassland. With the secret help of our dynasty, it will not be so easy for Korqin to grow up. It can be delayed for three to five years. The situation in our dynasty will be greatly changed, and the cavalry can be of great use, so there is no need to worry about it."

‘If there is no major change, it will get worse and worse…’
