"If there is nothing else, just retreat."
After Zhu Di finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave.
But Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, I have something to play."
Zhu Di's face turned dark, but he still sat back.
Why did you go early.
Just say something, hold back and wait to go to the bathroom?
"What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, the Tatar envoy Arutai entered Beijing overnight and said he wanted to meet His Majesty."
Alutai, why is he here again?
Still entering Beijing overnight?
What do you want?
"Did he say why?"
The Minister of Rites was not too clear about it, so he could only roughly say, "According to what he said, it was for the Tatar war horse."
Zhu Di: ...
Zhu Zhanji: ...
Both of them thumped in their hearts, feeling that something was wrong.
For the sake of a few war horses, this Alutai really came to Nanjing?
Knowing that Lu Lin did this, Zhu Di couldn't help being a little worried, but he said calmly, "What does their Tatar horses have to do with my Daming?"
"not see."
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was taken aback for a moment. Although it seemed that it didn't matter, he was an envoy anyway, so how could he just say he didn't see him?
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not very good."
Zhu Di also felt that it was not very good, but there was no way to see it, as soon as he saw it, he would reveal his secrets.
After thinking about it, he was invited to the conference hall, leaving Yang Shiqi and others behind, and the rest went home.
The less people know about this matter, the better, and it is best to resolve it internally.
"Grandpa, my grandson also wants to stay." Zhu Zhanji knew what happened to some extent, and staying might help.
Seeing his appearance, Zhu Di guessed that he should know something, so he nodded in agreement.
Arutai brought a few Tatars to the meeting place, first met Zhu Di according to their Tatar etiquette, and then spoke.
"Shen Yuqing, a businessman of the Ming Dynasty, set fire to the Tatar horse training ground and took hundreds of war horses away. He also asked the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to uphold justice for us."
"Hundreds of horses?" Zhu Di asked in surprise.
What nonsense, there are only six horses, and you have hundreds of horses that fell directly on his head, which is a bit too much.
But Alutai was full of confidence: "Yes, there are hundreds of first-grade war horses in their prime."
Lu Lin told him the ins and outs of the incident, and Zhu Di guessed that those hunters did it.
Yang Shiqi and the others were a little confused when they heard that, Shen Yuqing and the others knew each other, but hasn't Shen Yuqing been staying in Nanjing for the past few months to prepare for the imperial examination?
When did you go to Tartar?And burned their horse training grounds, and captured their war horses?
It's simply nonsense. Could it be that Alutai provoked someone by himself and couldn't deal with the other party, so he blamed Shen Yuqing for the matter?
Just when she wanted to defend Shen Yuqing, Zhu Di turned her back with a look.
Yang Shiqi is also a human being, and when he saw His Majesty's expression, he knew something was wrong, so he chose to shut up and figure out the situation before talking.
"Grand Master Alutai, is there some misunderstanding in this?" Zhu Di knew very well in his heart that there was no misunderstanding, but it could only be attributed to misunderstanding.
"As far as I know, whether Shen Yuqing left Beiping or returned to Nanjing, she never brought a war horse with her."
Zhu Zhanji immediately stood up: "I can testify on this point. Shen Yuqing returned to Beijing with me. We came back in a carriage. Let alone war horses, there are no ordinary horses."
Yang Shiqi and the others were even more amazing. The grandson actually said that he came back with Shen Yuqing?
But Shen Yuqing never left Nanjing?
Who accompanied the grandson to Beiping to supervise the work, and came back in a carriage together?
Xu Jingchang!
Lu Lin!
Yang Shiqi knew immediately that Lu Lin must have borrowed Shen Yuqing's name and done something.
If this is the case, then the matter of the war horse that Alutai mentioned is probably related to Lu Lin.
Seeing that the Emperor Daming and the Taisun were protecting Shen Yuqing, Alutai said, "It is true that he did not bring back a horse. What he brought back were horse hides, a whole hundred horse hides."
When Zhu Di heard it, come on, Alutai didn't know that Lu Lin's drunkard was not interested in drinking, so this matter would be much easier to handle.
So he winked at Taisun, and Taisun immediately stood up.
"It is true that he brought a lot of horse hides, but he sold them to a hunter in the East City of Beiping. He spent a lot of money. It is definitely not what you said. He robbed them, and there was no fire. Your training ground."
"He didn't go in person, but he ordered the hunter in Dongshi to go." Alutai knew that Shen Yuqing didn't go, but if he hadn't spent a lot of money, the hunter would never have snatched it.
When Yang Shiqi heard this, he also knew that Alutai had no evidence, so he said, "Master Alutai, you said that Shen Yuqing ordered the hunters from Dongshi to rob your horse training ground, but what evidence do you have?"
"Or is it that you have caught the hunter, and he said it himself?"
One sentence left Alutai speechless. If he had caught the hunter, he wouldn't have gone to the Jingxing Division overnight to question him.
After that group of people set fire to the horse training ground, they disappeared into the territory of Daming.
"The horse hide in his hand is the evidence." Alutai insisted.
Yang Shiqi laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. Buying and selling is free. Shen Yuqing just bought horse hides from hunters. As for how the horse hides came from, how would he know?"
"Then please ask Emperor Ming to find him, and I will confront him face to face." Alutai was still quite sure.
Because he met Shen Yuqing in private at that time, and agreed on the price of the horse hides, but in the blink of an eye his training ground caught fire, and then Shen Yuqing turned around and bought the horse hides of that group of people.
