On the other hand, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty also arrived in Urianha.

The main reason why Urianha kept provoking the Ming border was actually that the court closed the Ma market!

The Ming Dynasty had a huge army, but what they lacked was war horses, so they opened the horse market and then used grassland tribes such as Urianha to buy horses. Similarly, for Urianha, what they lacked was salt, iron, tea and other daily necessities, which were all sold and then changed areas.

Originally, Ma City was a place where we could win each other, so closing Ma City was very important, which directly led to the court not only facing harassment from coastal Japanese pirates, but also facing the counterattack of Urianha and others in the north. This made it feel more pressure to fight on both sides, so the court decided to reopen Ma City.

However, of course, this Horse Market is not about opening as soon as possible, and it involves many issues.

Zhao Yuan knew in his heart that Bo Ge asked him to come to receive these envoys from the Ming Dynasty. He knew it was not appropriate, and he also wanted to test himself. He also gave up Wu Lihan around him. To put it bluntly, he was just monitoring him by the way.

Specifically, those officials from the court were found out through Wugang that Zhao Yuan had already figured out this out. None of the people in it knew him. It was just that he didn't know them.

These Ming Dynasty officials did not expect that there was a Han man who came to receive them. However, they were in the court and of course they did not know Zhao Yuan among the wild people. Moreover, no matter how famous Zhao Yuan is in the world, in the eyes of these noble court officials, they were just a group of reckless men and could not catch their eyes.

Looking at the eyes of their group, Zhao Yuan bowed and smiled, "You are here from afar. It's really hard. I have ordered people to prepare a banquet. I will welcome you tonight."

The negotiations are diplomatic, and diplomatic matters are all handled by officials from the Ministry of Rites. The leader's surname is Zhang, named Zhang Zhilun, and is the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. Seeing that Zhao Yuan could actually speak fluent official language, he was still a little surprised and bowed and said, "Don't you, you?"

Now they are a little confused about Zhao Yuan’s origin, so they are still a little polite.

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't be too polite. I am just a slut, but I'm just here to welcome you at the order of the king."

It would be fine if Zhao Yuan didn't say it, but when he said it, Zhang Zhilun and others were a little confused. He was a little embarrassed. Then he came again by orders?

Is this Bo Ge so casual? He came to receive himself when he found a Han man?

Seeing their confused look on their faces, Zhao Yuan said: "I would like to introduce you to you, the fourth prince of Urikhan, I am responsible for receiving you with you. Of course, other people are responsible for this negotiation, and I am not involved."

Now Zhang Zhilun and others are even more confused. Why is it that a Han man or an ordinary civilian with him?

Wulihan is one of the most competitive princes around Boge. Zhang Zhilun and others did their homework when they came, and the most competitive prince is now helping this Han man?

What is the origin of this Han man?

For a moment, the situation in front of people felt confusing and they couldn't figure out what the situation was.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zhilun said: "Before this, I want to visit my princess, but I don't know if it's convenient?"

Zhao Yuan looked at Wu Lihan next to him, sighed and said, "You are a little bit out of time. If you can get a few days in advance, you may be able to see the princess for the last time!"

Zhang Zhilun's face changed and he said, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Everyone, please follow me!"

Zhang Zhilun and others had a vague premonition in their hearts. A large group of people followed Zhao Yuan and came to Hongluo Mountain. There was a cemetery here specifically for burying those royal relatives or powerful people.

In this cemetery, there is a tomb that looks particularly conspicuous, a new and large tomb.

Zhao Yuan said with a hint of pain: "Just six days ago, His Highness the Princess was accidentally bitten by a poisonous insect when she was out. After she came back, her fever did not subside, and her body was as cold as ice. The second prince searched all the famous doctors in the entire radius of two hundred miles to come for treatment, but in the end they all returned in vain. You must know that the princess was weak, but she still couldn't hold on and unfortunately died of illness!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but sigh and squeezed out a few drops of tears!

Zhang Zhilun's body suddenly felt as if struck by lightning, and he couldn't help but tremble, saying, "Is this serious?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Of course, it's already summer. There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants on the grassland. When the princess was bitten by poisonous insects, she didn't know what poisonous insect it was. Therefore, those doctors were at a loss when they came. And you also know how the doctors here could be as good as the imperial doctors in the court? I tried all kinds of prescriptions, but they didn't work at all. Alas... It's just that the poor princess, who was young, died in a foreign land. You all came here this time, please bring this news back to the court. After all, she is His Highness the Princess, and the court should know about this."

Zhang Zhilun and others nodded, and then a group of people rushed to the fake grave and burst into tears. They were extremely sad for a moment, and Zhao Yuan felt a little sad when he saw it.

As for whether they are really crying or fake crying, who cares?

"They have a deep relationship with Concubine Su."

Wu Lihan whispered beside him.

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, after all, he belongs to the princess of a country, and the imperial court's golden branches and jade leaves!"

In fact, everyone knows that it is more or less a bit of a show interest. After spending time in the court for a long time, Zhang Zhilun is already at the level of a minister of the Ministry of Rites and has long become a master. As a human being, his acting level is definitely a master, and he has never been inferior.

The group of people cried loudly in front of the grave for nearly half an hour. Zhang Zhilun staggered and slowly got up with the help of the military officer who was guarding beside him, with a look of sorrow, and said, "Young Master, please spare the banquet tonight. The princess just passed away. Where can I feel like enjoying the banquet when I wait!"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "I can understand my feelings, so I go to the embassy to rest first. I will also ask someone to prepare dinner at night. If you need it, you just need to call your servants."

Zhang Zhilun nodded and said, "Please!"

He sent Zhang Zhilun and others back to the embassy in person. Zhao Yuan was about to say goodbye to Wulihan, but was stopped by Wulihan and said, "Brother Yang, I have something to say to Brother Yang."

After Zhao Yuan walked out for a while, Wu Lihan said, "Brother Yang still remembers that Miss Cang broke into the Second Prince's tent not long ago and fought with the Saber?"

Zhao Yuan said: "It's only been a few days, how could it be forgotten?"

Wu Lihan said: "Brother Yang asked again afterwards, who told Miss Cang about this?"

Zhao Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but that I'm afraid of being misunderstood to be sowed away."

Wu Lihan said: "Is it the national teacher?"

Zhao Yuan was silent, which was considered to be a silence to express his agreement.

Wu Lihan said: "Actually, we also know that the person who abducted Concubine Su and left the Buddha bone relics must be the ones sent by the national master to steal the Buddha bone relics. With the national master and Temuer and his men, they could not steal such treasures from the Buddhist temple. Therefore, there is another person. It happened that this person knew Concubine Su and should have some relationship with Concubine Su. So after arriving at Hongluo Mountain, he changed his attention and used this Buddhist treasure to exchange Concubine Su. One of the big reasons is that he didn't know where to find out the intentions of the national master and others! He understood the role of this Buddha bone relics on them and also knew the role of us, so he used this Buddha bone relics for exchange. It was just that he did not seek the consent of the second prince in advance."

Wu Lihan's speculation is almost the same. Zhao Yuan said: "What does the Fourth Prince mean?"

Zhao Yuan does not understand Wu Lihan's intentions yet.

Wu Lihan said: "The national teacher can reveal the news that Concubine Su was kidnapped to Miss Cang. Do you think he will reveal it to these officials of the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhao Yuan showed a look of surprise on his face and said, "Leak to these officials? The Fourth Prince, are you joking? In this way, wouldn't these officials know that this grave is a fake grave and we lied to him, so wouldn't the negotiation be settled? The status of the national teacher is so high, isn't there any such a measure?"

Wu Lihan sighed and said, "The reason why he became the national master was because of his daughter and because of my third brother. Otherwise, with his character and virtue, not to mention that the national master is as high as a high-ranking official, even the ordinary small official is not his turn. Moreover, the greater the power of this person, the smaller the mind. If the negotiation fails, the final responsibility will be on the second prince and the prince, so he can reap the benefits of the fisherman. In other words, he will never give up until he achieves his goal!"

After dealing with the national teacher for so many years, how could Wu Lihan not know his character?

Zhao Yuan's face also became solemn, and he said, "What does the fourth prince mean?"

Wu Lihan said: "You are originally a Han Chinese, and they may believe you more. Therefore, I hope that after the national teacher sent someone to leak the matter to Lord Zhang, you can find Lord Zhang and press the matter down, so that it will not affect the negotiations."

Zhao Yuan said: "Reopening the Ma City will be beneficial to both countries. I will take turns to keep an eye on the embassy with Wushuang. If the national master sends people to leak the news, he will do his best to make this matter smaller and smaller matters smaller!"

Wu Lihan said: "That's a blessing!"

Zhao Yuan nodded, and after parting with Wu Lihan, he went to his tent to find Cang Wushuang.

On this side, Ulihan also came to Halm's tent. Halm raised his head and asked, "Are you all arranged?"

Wu Lihan nodded and said, "The arrangement is done. After the Ming Dynasty officials arrived, they heard that Concubine Su was dead. They ran to the tomb and cried. Then the evening dinner was cancelled. At present, Brother Yang did not know them. If they knew each other, even if they pretended not to know each other, they could definitely see in their eyes. Perhaps Brother Yang could cover it up very well with his ability, but those officials were all mediocre people and could not cover it up at all. I am still a little confident in seeing people. In addition, in order to prevent the national teacher from disturbing it, I asked Brother Yang to monitor the national teacher. In addition, if the national teacher ran to inform the officials of the Ming Dynasty, he would come forward and suppress the matter without affecting the negotiations."

Such a solution is undoubtedly the most appropriate. Halm could not find any fault and nodded and said, "It's very good, just do it at this time."

On the other hand, after Zhang Zhilun and his group returned to the embassy, ​​leaving the others aside, several confidants gathered together, one of whom was surnamed Li and named Li Gumu, and said: "Mr. Zhang, has this princess really died of illness? Do you know how to report this to the court?"

The sadness on Zhang Zhilun's face had disappeared without a trace, saying: "The purpose of our visit this time is to reopen the negotiations in the Horse Market. As for the princess' death, I wrote a memorial to report that birth, old age, sickness and death are all destiny, so what can we do?"

When Concubine Su got married, Zhang Zhilun was inappropriate in terms of etiquette. He even ran away and sent her to Hongluo Mountain himself. Therefore, he was very clear about her background. He didn't take a fake princess named by the court seriously. The previous sadness was nothing more than just a show.

"But?"

Li Gumu said: "Is this princess a bit too coincidental? She died of illness as soon as we arrived? Is there anything wrong with this?"

Zhang Zhilun said in a deep voice: "Do you want to check the real cause of the princess' death? Don't forget that you are an official of the Ministry of Rites, not the Ministry of Justice, nor the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang. It's not your turn to investigate such things!"

The so-called senior official position is to kill people, not to mention that Zhang Zhilun is several levels higher than Li Gumu's official title, and he is also Li Gumu's direct superior.

Li Gumu's body trembled when he heard this and hurriedly said, "I dare not!"

If you annoy Zhang Zhilun, then you will be more ruined than if you personally lose your career.

Zhang Zhilun said: "You listen well, don't worry about things you shouldn't care about, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask. We only have one purpose. Even if the Hongluo Mountain has changed its days and changed people, it has nothing to do with us. Do you hear it clearly?"

Li Gumu hurriedly said, "You are listening clearly!"

Zhang Zhilun nodded and said, "In addition, tell others what I just said intact. Now no one is allowed to violate it!"

"Yes, the subordinates obey the order!"

Li Gumu hurriedly agreed, then left the room to convey the news about Zhang Zhilun.

After Li Gumu left, only Zhang Zhilun and another person were left in the room, who was the general who escorted them.

Zhang Zhilun asked at this moment: "General Xue, can you know the Han people who are responsible for receiving us?"
