Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Shi Liemen was also very depressed. It was obvious that the other party was trying to make things difficult, but there was nothing he could do.

After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with an idea, and said helplessly to his subordinates.

"Since this is the case, then we have no choice. We bought the iron pot first, and then went to the mountain to cut firewood ourselves. This way, we can save the cost of firewood."

After listening to these followers, they couldn't believe their ears. Let's go to the mountain to chop firewood and boil water, are you sure?
Although they were only low-ranking officials in Dayuan's country, each of them had slaves and tribes under him, so they could be regarded as masters at any rate.

When did these people suffer this kind of grievance? They came to follow the prime minister on an envoy, not to do small jobs.

But they also knew that although Shi Liemen didn't seem to have any temper when facing the eighth-rank officials of the Ming Dynasty, they had the absolute power of life and death to them.

So if you go to chop firewood, go chop firewood, at least you can save some money, after all, there is really not much money that can be spent now.

After a long meal, they were finally able to boil a large pot of hot water and take a good bath.

On the second day, Shi Lie came to the Ministry of Rites to ask to see Zu Dazong, but was stopped by the guards of the Ministry of Rites and said.

"I asked you, Mongolian Tartar, do you have any rules? The Ministry of Rituals is my court, and you can't come here casually. You just wait here, and I will inform you."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left. In desperation, Shi Liemen could only wait patiently here, and waited for two hours.

Finally, Zu Dazong came out from inside, stretched his waist and said.

"You are late, His Majesty has no time to see you today, you can come back tomorrow, but come earlier."

Hearing this, Shi Liemen wanted to jump up and scold the street. He came to the etiquette department before dawn, waited here for two hours, but was reprimanded for coming too late.

However, now he doesn't have the home court advantage at all. The so-called man is a knife and I am a fish, that's what it is. He doesn't even have a basic right to speak.

But now I am afraid that Bei Yuan can't wait that long, the battle with Ye Sudie'er is already in full swing, and if there is any delay, more soldiers may die.

When he was about to ask for a few words of love, Zu Dazong ignored him at all, turned around and went in, and the door of the Ministry of Rites was closed like this again.

Walking out of Shi Liemen very depressed, suddenly saw a relatively luxurious carriage passing by.

A guard came to him and scolded.

"Who are you? How dare you stop His Royal Highness King Dingyuan's car, don't you want to live? Get out of here!"

Shi Liemen dodged forward subconsciously, and suddenly realized that this Dingyuan King, could it be the famous Zhu Tao?
He suddenly realized that before he came here, his godfather told him that he must make friends with Zhu Tao.

Only when Zhu Tao wants to help him can he complete this task smoothly, otherwise he will definitely have endless troubles.

Thinking of this, he hurried forward, blocked Zhu Tao's car and said.

"Humble position is the envoy from Dayuan who lost his life, and pays homage to His Royal Highness King Dingyuan for thousands of years."

Zhu Tao opened the curtain of the car and said something with a smile.

"It turned out to be the envoy of Dayuan, stop the carriage, I want to chat with this envoy."

As soon as these words came out, Shi Liemen was very moved. After all, he had not received any good treatment after coming to Daming. It seemed that Zhu Tao was really a kind person.

When Shi Lie arrived in front of Zhu Tao's carriage, his face was a little depressed.

Zhu Tao took the initiative to ask him.

"Since you are an envoy from the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court has its own reception regulations. How did you become like this? What are you doing at the gate of the government office?"

Seeing Zhu Tao's question, Shi Liemen felt even more wronged, he sighed and said.

"Since I came to Daming, I haven't been received normally. Only a Ministry of Rites placed us in a brick house. I even chopped firewood for bathing and boiling water. I just wanted to ask to see the Ministry of Rites. Officer, but was thrown out again."

Zhu Tao secretly laughed in his heart, but said in his mouth.

"The officials of the Ministry of Rituals are really ignorant. How can they treat envoys from other countries like this? Don't worry, I will definitely reprimand them."

After being wronged to a certain extent, Shi Liemen, after hearing what Zhu Tao said, felt that he was a benevolent and kind person, so he said hastily.

"His Royal Highness Dingyuan, you don't have to be too polite. I waited to come here this time to meet with His Majesty to discuss peace talks. As long as I can see Your Majesty as soon as possible, even a little grievance is worth it."

Zhu Tao said with a smile.

"Then how about it, you go with my car and go to my village to talk together. His Majesty has decreed that I be appointed Minister of Plenipotentiary Peace Talks. Telling me is like seeing His Majesty."

Seeing what Zhu Tao said, Shi Liemen was naturally happy. He thought Zhu Tao was a kind person, and he would definitely not suffer a loss if he talked to him.

After arriving at Zhujiazhuang, Zhu Tao ordered Old Tang to put out all the melons, fruits and snacks.

The envoys of the Great Yuan began to salivate. They have long been used to the hard life here, and they can't get enough of the chaff and vegetables. Seeing these things, how can they care about their image.

Except for the Lost Liemen who can manage it at least, the others wish they were reincarnated like starving ghosts, just stuffing things into their mouths and spitting out their mouths.

Looking at these people, Zhu Tao naturally satirized in his heart, but his face was very calm.

"You are welcome, envoys. I have a lot of pastries here. In addition, I have prepared a reception banquet for you today. I will let you eat big pieces and have a good meal."

Seeing Zhu Tao's benevolence and righteousness, Shi Liemen was almost moved to tears, and said hastily.

"His Royal Highness King Dingyuan is really benevolent and righteous. Your Highness is really laughing at me for waiting like this. I am also willing to make you my friend, as long as you don't dislike him."

Zhu Tao smiled and said to Shi Liemen.

"Okay, let's not talk about anything else anymore, just tell me, what kind of sincerity did you bring to our Daming this time?"

Shi Liemen looked at Zhu Tao and said helplessly.

"This time we are very sincere. We want to cede all the land of about [-] miles from the border to Daming. The conditions are also very simple, that is, we must provide us with sufficient supplies and stop aiding Ye Sudieer."

In fact, when Shi Liemen said this condition, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but unexpectedly, Zhu Tao's face changed suddenly.

"I said Prime Minister, no wonder you can only be ignored by the Ministry of Rites, because you have too many thoughts and nothing sincere. I don't think we need to talk anymore."

Shi Liemen was stunned, what is going on?It is already very difficult to cede the land of about a hundred miles, and it has come to such an evaluation.
