When He Lilan was summoned by the Honglu Temple and asked him to go for negotiations, he was very happy. He knew that his purpose of begging Tang Feng had finally achieved. Although the other party did not meet him, he finally helped him speak in the court. This made He Lilan full of confidence in the subsequent peace talks. He thought that as long as Tang Feng, who was very good at speaking in the Ming Dynasty, took care of him, this peace talks would end more perfectly.

But when He Lilan came to Honglu Temple excitedly, she knew that things were not as simple as she thought. Because he was actually hung in the side hall for two hours, no one summoned him, as if the officials in the entire yamen had more important things to deal with. Ruoyan, as a rude temper of an ancient man, had already been furious when he was treated so coldly, but fortunately he still knew the importance and understood that it was the ancients who had been seeking peace in the Ming Dynasty. He did not dare to really anger the Ming Dynasty court, so he endured it.

At this time, the officials in Honglu Temple were leisurely looking at the newspaper, drinking tea, and chatting leisurely. To be honest, among the many yamen in Beijing, the yamen is the most leisurely. Apart from major sacrificial activities or the envoys from other countries come to see each other, they usually have nothing to do. They just chat and drink tea every day. Of course, in the leisure time, they are also the most poor among the officials in Beijing, with basically no extra income, and can only live with a little salary. This is a real clean water yamen.

However, in the past few days, the Honglu Temple has been relatively busy. Many small countries have come to see each other. It has never happened in decades, which really makes these officials proud. However, the heavy official duties that followed have made them annoyed. The officials here are used to the daily life of setting up a dragon mén array to go home as soon as they soaked tea. They are really unbearable to work hard. Of course, this is also quite related to their work but nothing gained.

Finally, they sent all the envoys yesterday. The officials naturally wanted to have a good rest, but they learned that there was a meghan who asked for peace there to do it. These people originally wanted to grit their teeth and do things soon, but at this time, Tang Feng used the response method sent by the person to let them first suck each other's spirit and then do things according to the instructions.

Who dares to obey Duke An Guo’s words now in the Ming Dynasty? It is a prestige established by countless heads and destruction of their families. So these people asked to leave Helilan aside, and then they themselves should do whatever they should do as usual, just like there was no such person.

It was not until noon that when Helilan couldn't bear it, an official came over yawning and said, "I'm sorry, this messenger, there are too many things to deal with in our yamen. Let's do it, come again in the afternoon." As he said that, the official left on his own without waiting for him to agree, which made Helilan very angry.

"It's outrageous. Even your emperor doesn't have such a strong airs to treat me, ancient warriors like this! If we had already been fighting the army to your city of Beijing!" After cursing hatefully in his heart, Helilan still had no choice but to leave helplessly. In fact, he was also very clear about the current situation of the ancient tribes, and he could only kill Beijing City for a while. The only thing he could do now is to continue to come here in the afternoon, but he didn't know if he could accomplish anything.

After a morning of waiting, Helilan no longer had the confidence he had before, and he finally understood that the Ming Dynasty was not so eager toward Méng Gu. Of course, he did not know the real situation at Honglu Temple, otherwise he would be even more angry.

It was not until the middle of the lunar month that the officials of Honglu Temple arrived one after another. At this time, Helilan had been waiting here for nearly half an hour. Just when he couldn't help but get angry, someone asked him to come in to talk about it. In fact, the officials here didn't just throw him completely in the side hall and ignore him. They also sent people to stare at the ancients from time to time. Seeing that he was finally impatient, he asked him to come to see him. This would not only eliminate the other party's agility, but also cause too much conflict.

After both sides saw the ceremony, Wei Liren, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, said: "You guys sent troops to invade the borders of the Ming Dynasty several times before, killed many of my people, and plundered countless property. Now, when you see that the Ming Dynasty is in great power, you want to ask for peace. This is really hard for us to accept."

What is this saying? Helilan is very clear about the situation of the previous attack on the border town of Daming. After several battles, the ancients had no advantage at all, but they lost a lot of lives. Otherwise, they would not have withdrawn their troops before the news of the defeat of the Jin people came out. Not to mention killing and looting, they were blocked by Datong, and there was no village or town that could be looted at all.

Recalling his cold treatment before, he felt that they were deliberately making things difficult for him. Helilan suppressed his anger and said in a muffled voice: "It's actually no wonder that all of our ancient people. In fact, there are many tribes on the ancient grassland, some are warlike, and most of them are peace-loving. Our Korqin tribe has always been friendly with the Ming Dynasty. When we sent troops to invade the Ming Dynasty the previous time, we strongly opposed it. It was our mediation before that our army would withdraw in the end, otherwise the casualties of both sides would be caused. So we were very sincere in peace talks with the Ming Dynasty, and please let this master understand this." Since you opened your eyes and talked lies, I will just make any talk.

Wei Liren was amused, but he said: "Although what you said is somewhat reasonable, the offenders who violated the border of Ming Dynasty are you. We must be punished, right? Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the soldiers who died in battle and the ordinary people who were implicated?"

"What do you think?" He Lilan asked after being stunned. He finally knew that the matter was not that simple this time. Even if he asked Tang Feng, it would not change much. Of course, he didn't know that all this was planned by Tang Feng later, in order to get the most benefits.

"We all believe that the tribes of the ancient tribes you said are willing to be peaceful, and only some tribes are warlike. This is what we hope you can do, that is, bring the culprits who dare to offend my borders and destroy the friendly relations between my Ming and you, and then our Ming Dynasty dealt with them to give those suffering a generation. This is not a difficult thing for you, the ancient tribes, but you said that most tribes do not want to be enemies with my Ming." As he said that, Wei Liren paused slightly and said, "But the identity of these people must be confirmed. Don't find a few irrelevant people to swear us."

Seeing him making such a request, Helilan's heart sank. In the past, whenever the two sides negotiated, even if the Ming court had the upper hand, they never made excessive demands. As long as they were able to live a good life with their face, they could do so. But this time the Ming court was so real, which made Helilan feel like he was too embarrassed to defend.

Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, Wei Liren smiled and said, "If you don't have the confidence to do this, our 100,000 soldiers from the Ming Dynasty will be happy to help. As long as you nod, our troops will eradicate the tribes that violated my border, which will save you some trouble."

"No, there is no need for the Ming Dynasty to take action." Helilan quickly shook his head and said, "But this matter is too serious, and I can't make this decision for the time being. I'll give you an answer after I go back and think about it."

"Okay, let's wait for your answer. In addition, we still have a lot of things to discuss with you, such as trade matters. But since this first point cannot be discussed, let's leave it for the future."

Helilan was moved when he heard the other party mentioning trade. What Méng Gu most hoped was to reopen trade with the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, which was also the most critical factor for them to seek peace. They were not really afraid that they would follow the footsteps of the Jin people. But now in front of Helilan was how to relieve the Ming Dynasty. He had to put this aside for the time being, nodded before leaving.

Like all the ancient men, Helilan was a man who was good at fighting and not good at planning. Although he was wiser than the ordinary ancients, he was sent to Beijing for peace talks, but he could not make the most suitable judgment on these major events.

In desperation, Helilan thought of the person he trusted most in Beijing, that is Dayi'er. He used to admire Dayi'er's wisdom in watching things, and this time he did not have to wait for her because of her help. From this point of view, Dayi'er still has a deep affection for his own tribe. As long as he asks her for advice, she will definitely give an appropriate solution.

Thinking of this, Helilan wanted to go to the Duke of Anguo Mansion. But after looking at the dark sky, he still stopped. It is not suitable to meet a nv boy at this time. He knew about it after learning some etiquette in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, he didn't want to ask for advice in front of Tang Feng, so she would not tell the way, so she had to leave it for advice tomorrow morning and then ask for advice.

The next morning, Helilan brought some gifts to ask for a meeting. This time his goal was very clear. After all, he was a transcendent, and he only had a slight understanding of etiquette and did not think that he was rude to do so. However, the servants at Duke Anguo's mansion did not make things difficult for him, and still took him to the living room and served him good tea. Soon after, the big yùer came slowly.

Without too much greeting, Dayùer asked, "Why, do you need my help if you have anything else?"

After a embarrassed smile, Helilan told the situation in Honglu Temple yesterday, and finally said, "This makes me feel a little embarrassed. Those tribes are not weak, and there are also a large number. If we really follow this, we will be afraid that there will be great casualties and will be very unfavorable to our entire grassland. But if we do not follow them, our relationship will be...so I'll ask you if there is any solution."

Dayùer frowned again, and was silent for a while before saying, "You have thought about it. Can you really re-cultivate with the Ming Dynasty?" After seeing the other party nodding affirmatively, she continued, "Then you can only do what they said. The Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty. They have confidence. They are not afraid of us turning against each other. Only when they want, can we gain something."

"But..." Helilan said in embarrassment: "The current strength of the grassland tribes is limited. If there is a real dispute, we are really not sure to win."

"In fact, we can take this opportunity to expand our power. Didn't the Ming Dynasty put forward their opinions? We spread it to other tribes, and those tribes will definitely stand on our side because they want better Ming items, so we can win them over. In addition, we can also take this opportunity to attack those tribes that have always coveted my Korqin tribe and are enemies of my Korqin. Once we can really besides them, there will be only a benefit and no harm to us."

"Huh?" After thinking for a while, Helilan had to admit that what Dayi'er said was the truth. In fact, the ancient tribes on the grassland were not single-minded. Although Korqin was not weak, there were many enemies. If we took this opportunity to join forces with others to use troops to these tribes in the name of the Ming Dynasty, it would be a good thing for Korqin.

After a while, Helilan nodded and said, "You are right, why didn't I take this into consideration? If you do what you said, our Korqin will only gain benefits in this matter and will not be in any trouble."

"Of course, we must make plans before doing all this, and be cautious first. What we need to do is to achieve the greatest benefits at the lowest cost. At that time, not only will we respect me, Korqin, on the grassland, but also the protection and trade of the Ming Dynasty, and our tribe members can live a good life." Dayùer added another sentence.

"Okay, then I will do what you said. I believe the patriarch and the others will not object. I will go to discuss the next thing with the officials of the Ming Dynasty tomorrow." Helilan said happily. After talking about the changes on the grassland with Dayi'er, he said goodbye. He did not notice a little guilty between Dayi'er's eyebrows and eyes.

"This time you have helped me and Daming. Of course, this has also helped you Korqin." Tang Feng, who was not in the mansion, walked out from behind the screen when only Dayi's childhood was left in the hall and laughed. As early as yesterday, after He Lilan was stumped at the Honglu Temple, he guessed that the other party might come to Dayi'er for advice. So he persuaded his wife last night and asked her to persuade He Lilan as he said.

On the one hand, the Dayi'er was already Tang Feng's person, and the couple should be united. On the other hand, they also felt that this was very beneficial to the Korqin tribe, so they agreed. This is also the reason why Helilan came to the Duke's Mansion more smoothly than yesterday. Everything was expected by Tang Feng.

"My husband, do you think I'm doing this to harm our own people?" Dayùer suddenly said with guilt.

"No, you are not wrong with doing this. You will not harm too many people, you will only eliminate those who are ambitious and those who are always enemies of our Ming Dynasty. This is also a good thing for you ancient tribes." Tang Feng stepped forward and patted Dayi'er's shoulder and said.

"But... in this way, many people will die because of this. They are all my tribe members."

"Their death comes at a price, and it will bring peace to the world. I believe that after this, there will be no large-scale conflict between the Ming Dynasty and the ancient times. Moreover, when our two sides reconcile, our Ming Dynasty will also provide more items for the people on the ancient grassland, and their quality of life will be improved, and even prolong their lifespan." Tang Feng hurriedly took out some reasons that would make the great one feel a little relieved to comfort her. In this way, the heavy feeling in the heart of the ancient people was removed, and she also firmly believed that the life of the ancient people would be better in the future, and the friction between the two countries would become less and less.

With the guidance of Dayi'er, He Lilan made a decision. After sending people back to the grassland to report the letter, he came to Honglu Temple again two days later. This time, the officials of Honglu Temple did not make things difficult for him as before, because they were also ordered by Tang Feng to break things up earlier.

After implementing the crackdown on tribes that violated the borders of the Ming Dynasty on the grassland, Helilan thought of Wei Liren's last words that day and asked: "Mr. Wei, can you talk about this business matter now?"

"Of course, but there is a saying that I must explain first. Everything we talk about next will take effect after you eradicate the tribes that dare to violate our Ming Dynasty. If you cannot eradicate these tribes this time, our Ming Dynasty will not do so."

"Of course," Herilan nodded.

"This time, our Ming Dynasty has great sincerity. As long as you and I can live in peace, not only will the items on the grassland remain unchanged before, but we will not even hide iron tools and iron smelting methods."

Helilan was very excited when this said. You must know that the method of smelting is still half-understanding and cannot create decent iron tools. Even a single iron pot will be passed on for several generations. If the Ming Dynasty is really willing to say such a secret matter, it shows their sincerity.

"Of course, this also requires some of your efforts. We also need horses. In addition, in the trade between our two sides, I hope that all your ethnic groups will not collect taxes from our Ming merchants within a hundred years, so that our Ming merchants will trade with you more. I believe you will not object to such things that are beneficial to both sides, right?"

"That's natural." Helilan, who had no idea about taxation, nodded without thinking and agreed, but he didn't know that this would turn Méng Gu into a place for dumping products of Ming Dynasty.
