Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 307
The emperor received envoys from the Zhungeer Ministry in the warm pavilion of the main hall of Changchun Garden, and saw five tall men with similar attires walking in, all wearing thick Mongolian robes.

Four people behind, one person in front.

The emperor looked closely at the leading man, and saw that he was tall and strong, with a dark complexion.

He wears a blue Mongolian cap embroidered with a totem on a pointed top, and the brown fur on his shoulders looks like a yellow fox or a roe deer.

It looks unattractive, but there is a bright brilliance in the eyes, and the mouth speaks with white teeth that don't match the complexion.

The man called himself Mu Sai, a general of Zhungeer.

With his subordinates, he greeted the emperor as a courtier without being humble or overbearing, and conveyed the greetings from the leader Ge Erdan on his behalf.

After the ceremony, the emperor gave seats and tea to everyone.

Musai presented the list of tributes from the Zhungeer Ministry. The emperor glanced at them and saw that the tributes were very rich.

There are many skins of cattle, sheep and various wild animals, as well as dried meat and cheese.

The emperor couldn't help laughing when he saw that although there were many gift lists, there was not a single horse.

"This year Zhungeer has a bumper harvest, and there are many more tributes. There are so many cattle and sheep, but where are your horses?"

Mu Sai seemed to have been prepared for a long time, stood up and put his arms around his chest and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I think you also know that the Torghut tribe invaded the most fertile grassland of our Zhungeer tribe. Our leader Galdan is a hero. He descendants of Genghis Khan."

"The descendants of Genghis Khan will not be slaughtered, so we launched a war and recovered the territory from the Torghut Ministry. The loss of horses in the war was too great, so there were no horses to offer to the emperor. Chief Galdan I am very sorry about this, so I added a lot of cattle and sheep to apologize to the emperor."

This cork looked like an ordinary Mongolian man, but he was not honest at all when he spoke, he was even more cunning than Nalan Mingzhu.

It is clear that the Zhungeer tribe invaded the territory of the Turghut tribe, and the Turghut tribe has meager strength and has been patient.

Lamb's forbearance did not make the wolf cub accept it as soon as it was good, but intensified it, leading to the extermination of the Turghut tribe.

The emperor looked at the generous gift list, among the cattle and sheep, he did not know how many belonged to the Zhungeer Ministry, and he did not know how many were snatched from the Turghut Ministry?
Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, Ge Erdan did a really good thing!
He also said that too many horses were lost in the war with the Turghut tribe. Even if there was a loss, the amount snatched from the Torghut tribe could make up for this amount.

Refusing to sacrifice horses is obviously preparing for a war with the Qing Dynasty.

Horses are absolutely indispensable in fighting against the prairie cavalry.

Ge Erdan naturally wanted to hide the good horses and keep them to enrich his own armaments.

The emperor sneered in his heart, this cunning Galdan, did he think that only the Zhungeer tribe in Mongolia had horses?
In the hands of the emperor, there are also the major tribes of Mongolia, and each tribe has good horses, which are not inferior to Zhungeer's horses.

He just smiled, "Is that so? Why did I hear the leader of the Torghut tribe say that the Zhungeer tribe invaded their territory first?"

Mu Sai, who was still eloquent just now, widened his eyes in surprise, "The leader of the Turghute Department? When did he tell the emperor?"

The leader of the Turghute Department had already been hacked to death by Galdan, and his head rolled to an unknown corner of the grassland.

How could he have the opportunity to talk to the emperor?

The emperor looked very satisfied at Mu Sai's astonished expression, "The new leader of the Torghut Department is the eldest son and heir son of the late old leader. I wrote a letter to Galdan just after hearing his statement."

Mu Sai suddenly understood who the emperor was talking about. The Turghut tribe was exterminated, and the only survivor was the eldest son who went to Horqin to meet the emperor.

He had to be frightened, extermination of the clan was not clean, and it was the most taboo thing for the grassland tribes.

The only survivor of an exterminated tribe, he carried the hatred and anger of the entire tribe.

In the legend of the grassland, such a person would be filled with endless power.

One day, he will take revenge on the Zhungeer tribe who gave him the pain of extermination.

The emperor doesn't intend to delve into this topic any further, and if he continues, it will become a questioning of the Zhungeer Ministry.

Ge Erdan sent people to send tribute, and according to the emperor's wishes, he did not launch any more aggression against the surrounding tribes for the time being, which was a gesture of favor to the emperor.

He also didn't want to fight the Zhungeer Ministry when he was not fully prepared, and he had to accept Galdan's favor.

"Is it cold in Western Mongolia? Are the envoys still used to it when they arrive in the capital?"

The emperor changed the topic and talked about caring again.

Mu Sai also knew that it was meaningless to continue to entangle himself in the matter of Turhut's death. He came this time to show his favor to the emperor, not to kill the remnants.

"It's colder on the grassland than in the capital city. We are used to it when we arrive in the capital city, and we don't feel very cold."

Mu Sai was kind and generous, and talked about these scenes with the emperor.

The emperor nodded, "Since you are here, stay in the capital for a few more days to see the scenery of the Central Plains. I also like the scenery of the grassland, and your grassland must be as beautiful as the Horqin grassland."

The emperor's emotion seemed to mean something, as if he was saying that he wanted to conquer the Jungar Grassland, and then visit it like visiting the Horqin Grassland.

Mu Sai felt uncomfortable, so he diverted the conversation: "Your Majesty, we are here this time, and we have to make a request to the Emperor on behalf of Chief Galdan."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, it turned out that Ge Erdan borrowing flowers and offering Buddhas was not enough, and he wanted to use these tributes to ask him for something?

The Mongols like the silk and porcelain from the south of the Yangtze River the most, and every year the emperor rewards these things to the various ministries of Mongolia.

Mu Sai made a special request today, and it was Galdan's request, and it was not these ordinary toys.

"Oh? What does Galdan want from me?"

Mu Sai stood up from his seat and saluted solemnly: "Our leader, I hope to marry the princess of the Qing Dynasty, and we will be married forever."

He saluted, and what he said was also a request, the emperor was stunned because he didn't see the attitude of asking for help from his eyes.

He always felt that Mu Sai's every move, every word and deed represented Galdan's attitude.

Ge Erdan paid tribute to the emperor on the surface, and was respectful and obedient, but in fact, he was still a wolf.

A wolf that you touch his head and he wags his tail, but will suddenly bite you.

The eyes of Mu Sai are the eyes of wolves.

It is also very common for a princess of the Qing Dynasty to marry a Mongolian marriage. With the strength of the Zhungeer tribe, it is not too much to ask for a princess.

However, the Zhungeer tribe was ambitious, and the emperor had a premonition that there would be a final battle between them and the Qing Dynasty.

Marrying a princess to a tribe that has a heart of disobedience is tantamount to a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

Those princesses are the daughters and nieces of the emperor, and it is a bit unbearable to marry them to the subjugated Mongolian tribes, let alone the Zhungeer tribe?

He narrowed his eyes slightly to conceal the killing intent bursting out in his eyes.

The killing intent was fleeting, and when Mu Sai raised his head to look at the emperor's expression, he had already recovered his indifferent smile.

"The princess's descent is of great importance. I have to think about it before making a decision."

He suppressed the anger in his heart, he couldn't show it, he couldn't refuse directly.

I can only say that I have to think about it, and I will prevaricate it for the time being.

Mu Sai didn't continue to ask after hearing this, but just bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, may I ask which princess is wearing red clothes in the garden today and playing with the emperor's fifth elder brother?"

What Mu Sai meant was obvious, he hoped to marry the princess in red for Galdan.

When he saw Chen Wenxin in the garden, he felt lost.

I have never seen such a beauty, so bright and pretty, like a goddess who flew from the seat of Changshengtian to the world.

Even if she is not the emperor's princess, but just an ordinary official lady, he still wants her.

The emperor finally couldn't help frowning, who else in the garden is wearing red clothes and playing with fifth elder brother?
This Cork wanted to meet Chen Wenxin on the way in?

The minister of Honglu Temple who was sitting beside him was so frightened that he almost died, he knelt down and pleaded guilty to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. On the way in, Zhungeer's envoys saw Concubine Qin and Fifth Elder Brother. I'm afraid they mistaken Concubine Qin for..."

Mu Sai couldn't help feeling deeply disappointed when he heard Honglu Siqing's words.

It turns out that the woman in red is the emperor's concubine...

He stood there in a daze, and didn't react until the subordinate behind him tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, I didn't know it was your empress, I thought..."

I thought she was a princess, someone to marry.

The emperor couldn't hold back anymore, and simply put all his anger on Zhuangerbu's desire to marry the princess to his face.

Anyway, it was Mu Sai who was rude first, so the emperor should be angry.

He snorted angrily, "The Zhungeer envoys are too ignorant of etiquette. I may not agree to marrying the princess. How dare you provoke someone? It's my concubine, okay?" what!"

Mu Sai knew that he was in the wrong, he had lost his mind for a while, and that's why he lost the handle in front of the emperor.

"It's my minister's impoliteness. Please consider our leader's request carefully."

After that, Mu Sai and others bowed and retired, leaving only the emperor and the minister of Honglu Temple behind.

The emperor said to him angrily: "Where did you meet Concubine Qin and the others? What did Mu Sai say and what did he do?"

He hurriedly reported to the emperor in detail, the emperor heard that he just glanced at it from a distance and did not offend Chen Wenxin, that's all.

Mu Sai and his party left Changchun Garden and went to rest in the post station in the capital.

A subordinate leaned close to his ear and said softly: "Chief, if you like that woman in red, it doesn't matter if she is the emperor's concubine or not, let's grab her and run away!"

Cork, no, it's Gerdan.Ge Erdan shook his head and sighed: "Do you think the guards around the Qing Emperor are all vegetarians? We can't snatch them, and we can't snatch them if we can. We are here to show our goodwill, and the purpose is to let the Qing Emperor relax his vigilance."

Another subordinate said: "The women we Mongolians like are always obtained by robbing! No matter how noble those princesses are, they are not as strong as the women the leader really likes!"

Galdan raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "What are you busy with? Wait until we expand the territory on the grassland and unify the entire Mongolia like Genghis Khan. Then we will attack the Forbidden City and dominate the world. At that time, I am afraid that the woman will not be mine." ?"
