In today¡¯s Beijing city, in addition to being more lively than in previous years, there are two other different scenery!
One is the group of slaves. These slave men are responsible for the hard labor of building the new city wall, while the women and half-grown children are responsible for cleaning the streets and cleaning up the night fragrance from house to house!
I believe all readers know what Yexiang is, so I won¡¯t explain it!
Although these slaves were in ragged clothes and didn¡¯t even speak the same language, seeing them working in groups under the scolding of the guards also made the people in Beijing feel a little more proud!
Another thing that surprises the people in Beijing is that, I don¡¯t know since when, there have been many Westerners with red eyebrows and blue eyes in the capital!
When these weird guys first appeared, the well-informed Beijing people couldn't help but make a fuss, but as time went by, they didn't care so much about these people!
In fact, the people in Beijing don't know that there are more Westerners like this in Tianjin. Since Tianjin opened its port, many Western merchant ships that only do business in the south have arrived in Tianjin, and then come to the capital of the Ming Empire. There are even Many Westerners will travel in the interior of the Ming Dynasty in order to learn more about this mysterious and huge empire in the East!
For the people of Ming Dynasty, these guests who came from all over the world looked a little strange, but they did not attract too much attention!
The twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month!
This day is the traditional Little New Year in the north. According to the rules, from today until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is regarded as the New Year, so the city of Beijing has become extra lively!
In the bustling street, Zhu Youxiao and Old Lama Shar walked slowly and leisurely one behind the other, with Qiao Wangjin following not far behind them!
After walking for a while, the old lama asked in a low voice in order to break the deadlock: "Why is Your Majesty so interested in summoning the old monk to travel to the capital with you today?"
Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "Buri Gude is coming back soon!"
The old lama was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became nervous. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Has he ever brought the news that His Majesty wanted?"
Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said nothing!
However, the old lama felt dizzy. He forced himself to keep up with Zhu Youxiao and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Is Lin Danhan planning to hunt the grassland with His Majesty?"
Zhu Youxiao shook his head again and said helplessly: "No! He gave in. Burigude is driving to the capital with the cattle, sheep and horses I want. He will arrive before the year, but this is not what I want. of!"
Originally, when Zhu Youxiao said this, he could have used more euphemistic words such as "compromise" and "aware of current affairs", but he used the word "surrender" instead, which made the old lama listen. Although he put it down My heart is filled with stone, but it feels as if my heart is blocked by something!
"Your Majesty!" the old lama said with his hands folded: "Lin Dan Khan is a wise Khan. He knows how to choose. The old monk hopes that your majesty can keep his promise and give the old monk one year to persuade Lin Dan Khan. Accept His Majesty¡¯s conditions!¡±
Zhu Youxiao looked at the old lama, showed an evil smile and said: "I will give you one year, but I hope that Lin Dan Batur can use one year to prepare for the war, so that I can You can get what you want!"
The old lama really couldn't understand why this young emperor liked war so much, but he still said in a flattering manner: "The lives of the people on the grassland are also very miserable. Why do you have to use their pitiful heads to show off Where is your majesty?¡±
Zhu Youxiao shook his head again and said: "The reason why I want to fight Lin Dan Batur is not because I like killing people, but because I understand the truth that what is obtained at the negotiation table is far less reliable than what is obtained on the battlefield. Now even if Lin Dan Batur has attached himself to the Ming Dynasty, it is just an expedient measure. When his tribe becomes stronger, both he and his descendants will choose to betray the Ming Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that I plan to Eradicate him completely so that we can get rid of him once and for all!¡±
Just when the old lama was about to speak, Zhu Youxiao suddenly blinked at him and said with a smile: "Master, you are so smart, I wonder if you can guess that I am telling you these words to make you feel better." Should I advise Lindan Batur to surrender, or should you spread these words to his ears and make him firm in his determination to be my enemy?"
The old lama was speechless for a moment when Zhu Youxiao asked him. He really didn't know how to answer this question. He even began to wonder in his heart what Zhu Youxiao meant when he said these words in front of him!
Suddenly the old lama felt that he was facingHe was not a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, but an old monster of one hundred, sixty or seventy years old. It was at this moment that the old lama developed awe of Zhu Youxiao in his heart!
Zhu Youxiao did not embarrass the old lama, but waved his hand and said: "Master, don't worry. In fact, it doesn't matter to me what you do. My plan to annex the grassland is also a goal that must be completed, so regardless of Lin Dan Whether Batur surrenders or fights, the grasslands will become part of the Ming Empire's territory, and the only difference in this matter is that Lin Dan Batur will determine his fate because of his choice!"
The old lama bowed slightly and said in awe: "Your Majesty, the old monk, will definitely persuade Lin Dan Khan to submit to Your Majesty. When the time comes, please treat him kindly!"
Zhu Youxiao obviously lost interest in this topic. He waved his hand and said: "These are all things that have no trace yet. I will not make any promises. Let's wait until Lin Dan Batur makes his own choice!"
As he was talking, a burst of noise suddenly came from behind Zhu Youxiao. When he looked back, he saw a group of children clapping and playing around two people!
One of the two people was a thin girl wearing a blue skirt and coat. The girl looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was not tall. According to the calculation method of later generations, she was a little over 1.6 meters, and her height Her appearance is a bit too delicate, as if she would be blown over by the wind when she walks, but this girl's appearance is quite pretty, with delicate skin, a small cherry mouth, and a straight nose, especially the pair of black and bright eyes. The big eyes like stars exude a very special light!
Being surrounded by a group of children made the girl a little shy. Her face was red and her big beautiful eyes stared at those children with anger, but there was no lethality at all!
Next to the girl is a European-looking man who is about 1.7 meters tall. Although he is wearing a Han Chinese dress and a calico turban, he has white skin, blue eyes, a high nose, and sunken eye sockets. , especially the trace of blond hair scattered in the headscarf, made Zhu Youxiao think of the word "blond and blue eyes"!
The reason why those children surrounded them was mainly because of the European woman, because the children clapped their hands and sang happily: "Yellow eyebrows and blue eyes, no need to light a lantern when going out at night, big mouth and big feet, next year my son-in-law will also be here" Can¡¯t get home!¡±
After listening to such a ballad, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile, because although the European woman was regarded as a stunning beauty from the aesthetic point of view of later generations, even in Zhu Youxiao's eyes, she was far better than the young girl. The girls of the Ming Dynasty are even more beautiful!
But from the perspective of today¡¯s Ming Dynasty, her unusual blond hair, civet-like blue eyes, slightly plump lips, and not-so-big natural feet have all become synonymous with ugliness!
That¡¯s why those children¡¯s songs ridiculed her for not having to light a lamp when she went out at night, and because she had a big mouth and big feet so she couldn¡¯t find a husband!
The European girl obviously understood the meaning of those children's songs, so she seemed very angry and kept shaking her fists at the children. But the more she did this, the happier the children laughed! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
