The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 160
In the seventh year of Hongde, the twelfth lunar month is twenty-eight.

As the New Year's Eve approaches, the entire city of Shenjing is bustling with excitement.

This huge city with a population of more than one million, in just a few days, seemed to be soaked in water and thoroughly cleaned, and then carefully cared for again, the whole looked brand new.

In such a lively season, a group of Tatars in fur coats and hats, carrying envoys, and led by several officials from the Ministry of Rituals, went straight to the palace.

The envoy is made of a bamboo stick with a length of Zhang Xu, and the rope hanging from the top is dotted with decorations such as yak tails.

In the cold wind, the yak tail on the rope was gently blown up, and it was directly reflected in the eyes of the people along the way...

……

Envoys are no strangers to people.

But it was the Tatars who held the envoys, which everyone did not expect.

After the Tatar envoys passed by, the people along the way suddenly talked about it.

Someone asked curiously: "In the middle of the year, didn't you say that you were still fighting the Tatars? It was said that our army of conquering captives was wiped out. How come the envoys of the Tatars have come to Shenjing now?"

Hearing this, someone next to him immediately asked, "Brother, did you just come back from another place?"

"That's right, I just came back from Siam in the south. I've been on the road for half a year, and I just entered the city!"

"That's no wonder!"

The person next to him smiled understandingly: "The reason why our conscript army was defeated was because the general who led the army was not good enough. In three or two months, the 20 conscript army was actually defeated. There are [-] to [-] left!
Look at the later Jiahou Lord who led the army to go out. He only brought 4 people, and beat the 10 people of Tatar to death. In more than a month, he recovered the two cities of Taining and Duoyan. Finally Fuyuwei was so frightened that he surrendered without a fight!

This is what our Great General of the Great Zhou should look like! "

In the words, this man was full of pride and pride, even his chest stood up unconsciously.

"Master Jia?! I know this too!"

Another person took over the conversation, looked around, lowered his voice, and said, "I will tell you a secret quietly. It is said that Lord Zhaowu is the Heavenly Supervising Soldier God, and he is accompanied by the divine beast White Tiger!"

Those who yell loudly may not be the truth, but those who beep softly must be mysterious!
Such mysterious words can't help but attract everyone around.

After listening to the man's words, someone continued: "I also know this, the grandson of my grandfather's cousin's cousin's cousin's brother's neighbor's neighbor is working in the Habayashi Guard, and this time Lord Jia went to Saibei to conquer the Tartars. The Tartar, he also followed.

It is said that when the army came to the edge of a mountain forest, a white tiger the size of an elephant and a fox a circle bigger than the tallest horse sprang out of it. When a divine beast came in front of Lord Jia, he accepted his head and worshiped him, which directly recognized Lord Jia as the master!
After returning to Shenjing, the Holy Majesty even met those two divine beasts in person! "

The gestures made by this person caused everyone to gasp.

"Moreover, it is said that the two huge carriages that were pulled out of Marquis Wu's mansion a while ago were carrying those two divine beasts!"

"Oh, then didn't we miss the opportunity to see the demeanor of the beast?"

Someone slapped his thigh, as if he had missed millions of taels of silver.

"..."

On the street, everyone was chattering, passing words back and forth.

In the later stage, the version everyone heard even became that Jia Jing was directly the god of the sky who came down to earth. After subduing the white tiger and the giant fox, just a loud shout made the three guards of Duoyan surrender.

Then the soldiers under his command came to finish the work, and only then did the army recover the three acropolises in more than a month!

Everyone finally concluded that they blamed the soldiers for running too slowly and unable to keep up with the pace of Lord Jia, otherwise it would be no problem to recover the three guards in one day!
……

Well, the version of Jia Jing's story is being circulated and updated rapidly!

………………

Just when Jia Jing was about to be described by the people in Shenjing as having three heads and six arms and several feet tall, a group of Tatar envoys had already arrived in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the imperial palace.

Along the way, the Tatar envoys looked at the red walls and yellow tiles in the palace, and there were magnificent scenes everywhere.

The magnificence of the Hall of Supreme Harmony made the Tatar envoys a little dazed.

Compared with Shenjing City in the Great Zhou Dynasty, whether it was the bustling scene outside or the magnificence and magnificence in the palace, the Golden Tent of the King Khan of his Khanate was instantly compared to scum.

……

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the civil and military officials standing on both sides at this time were all staring closely at the Tatar envoys who came in.

Being summoned suddenly, many people have a lot of curiosity in their eyes.

Against the gaze of nearly a hundred pairs of eyes in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Tatar envoy said that his family was under a bit of pressure at the moment.

He also thought about what Molun Khan said when he came here, that he must make good friends with the Great Zhou Empire, and must seek reinforcements from the Great Zhou Empire and the support of the exchange market.

Therefore, when entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Tatar envoy immediately bowed and knelt on the Hall of Supreme Harmony:
"Mong Yuan envoy Jiri Gele, pay homage to the Great Zhou Emperor, long live the Great Zhou Emperor!"

As he spoke, the envoy held the envoy in his hand and bowed heavily.

On the dragon chair on the high platform, Emperor Hongde couldn't help smiling when he saw the Tatar envoy salute directly.

Afterwards, Emperor Hongde regained his composure, and said lightly:

"The Mongolian envoy is flat!"

After the Tatar envoy got up, Emperor Hongde said slowly again: "The envoy of Meng Yuan came here, why is it here?!"

Hearing Emperor Hongde's inquiry, the Tatar envoy took out an exquisite scroll tied with golden silk thread from his arms.

Lifting the scroll to the top of his head respectfully, the Tatar envoy said: "Show His Majesty the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, my Tatar envoy, Jiri Gele, was ordered by the Emperor Molun of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty to come to Dazhou to submit the letter of credence. From today From now on, Meng Yuan is willing to be a vassal state of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and pay tribute to the court every year!!"

"Wow..."

Hearing the words of the envoy of Meng Yuan, many civil and military ministers whispered to each other, and there was an uproar in the hall.

"quiet!"

Above, Qiu Shi'an yelled loudly: "Above the court hall and in front of His Majesty, no noise is allowed!"

Although when the Tatar envoys entered the customs, the news of the Tatar professing their vassal had spread to Shenjing quickly, but when the words of surrender were uttered from the Tatar envoy's mouth, Emperor Hongde couldn't help but feel elated!

During his reign, he made Tatar submit to him. What kind of achievement is this? !

At this moment, the smile on Emperor Hongde's face could no longer be concealed.

"Emperor Meng Yuan is full of fists, how can I not allow it?"

Emperor Hongde said solemnly: "Zhen, Emperor Yang Chong of the Great Zhou Dynasty, allow you to become my Great Zhou's subordinates!

In addition, after you go back, I will also tell you that Meng Yuan Emperor Mo Lun, after submitting to you, if you dare to do half-hearted things and act against others, my thunderous wrath will wipe out your Meng Yuan Golden Tent in no time!
At that time, don't say that I didn't predict it! "

The Tatar envoy hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, I, Emperor Meng Yuan, have nothing to do with my heart!"

Emperor Hongde nodded, and ordered the ministers below:
"Meng Yuan returned to obedience, and among them, the rituals were rewarded, and the Ministry of Rites will handle it as soon as possible according to the old system; in addition, the cabinet will immediately draw up a decree, and it will be announced to the world from now on!
I want to share this good news with my Da Zhou subjects on the occasion of the new year! "

Hearing this, Yang Xiuchen, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Wei Jin, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said: "I will obey the order!"
