Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Chapter 557 Ming Dynasty: The Emperor Guards the National Gate (46)

Yang Fan, a Ming official, ignored the frantic Later Jin official and turned to Huang Taiji. "Great Khan, our Ming has always valued etiquette. Since it was our Ming who initiated the peace talks, it is our responsibility to invite the Khan to Ningyuan City to discuss matters."

"My Great Ming proposes peace talks with your country, not because I am afraid of the Later Jin, nor because my Great Ming army is unable to fight again."

"But I, the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, remember that many people in both our countries have died due to the plague over the years. Now, for the sake of the people of both countries, we should shake hands and make peace.

"The Great Khan has come to the border. I believe he cares about the people just like our monarch does and cannot bear to see the world plunged into war again."

"In that case, why don't you, Great Khan, move to Ningyuan City and make peace with Your Majesty, giving the people a chance to rest and recuperate?"

Looking at the people below who were neither humble nor arrogant, Huang Taiji's lips curled up slightly, "Ming officials, it is you Ming officials who need to rest and recuperate, right?"

"My Later Jin is very powerful and can march south to attack the city at any time without any need to rest and recuperate."

"Go back and tell your emperor that if he wants to sue for peace, he should show the right attitude."

"It is your Ming Dynasty that wants a ceasefire, not my country."

"If I don't see the Ming Dynasty's sincerity within three days, then the Ming Dynasty should not blame my Later Jin army for being unreasonable..."

Hearing Huang Taiji's threatening words, Yang Fan smiled calmly and bowed to Huang Taiji, saying, "I will pass on every word of the Khan's words without missing a single one."

"But please don't forget, Great Khan, that the Ming cavalry is not incapable of a decisive battle with the Later Jin."

After saying that, Yang Fan bowed towards Huang Taiji, then left with his head held high.

Staring at Yang Fan's departing back, the expressions on everyone's faces in the reception room where Huang Taiji was were not very good.

It was clearly the Ming Dynasty that took the initiative to propose peace talks, but the attitude of the Ming people made it seem as if they were the ones coming forward to ask for peace.

And that envoy, he was playing dumb and had no self-awareness at all. If they could kill him, they would have wanted to capture him and throw him to the wolves...

Whose envoy is so arrogant? Those who don't know would think that the Ming Dynasty is so powerful. If the Ming Dynasty was powerful, it would have sent troops to fight them long ago. Why would they ask for peace?

Huang Taiji glanced at everyone in the reception room and then looked away indifferently.

"What do you think of what the Ming envoy said today?"

Upon hearing this, a young man stepped forward and said, "Great Khan, the people of the Ming Dynasty have always been known to put on airs. Their behavior today is quite normal, I think."

"If they really come to you, the Great Khan, to ask you to come to Ningyuan City in such a humble way, I would think it is a trick."

As the young man finished speaking, an older man stepped forward and said, "Great Khan, I also think this is the usual style of the Ming Dynasty."

"But since it was the Ming Dynasty that proposed peace, we can't rush to Ningyuan City..."

Huang Taiji frowned slightly when he heard this, "Master Tu, what do you mean?"

Turge smiled faintly, "The Ming Dynasty loves to put on airs, and our Later Jin can also learn from the Ming Dynasty..."

"If the Ming Dynasty fails to show a satisfactory attitude in three days, the Khan may dispatch troops to the gates of Ningyuan."

"If the Ming Dynasty seeks peace then, it will certainly not be as arrogant as it is today. If the Ming Dynasty wants to fight, we, the Later Jin, will not be afraid."
