Prince Zhongshun

Early in the morning, Zhao Zixun changed into his official court attire and went to greet Zhao Chengjun. Today was the day to officially meet with Prince Zhongshun. There was no room for carelessness.

Anji Timur was the leader of Beiting, a country that surrendered to the Yan Dynasty and paid tribute, and was bestowed the title of Prince Zhongshun. Beiting was the strategic gateway of the northwest. It was located between the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, Tatar, and Yan Dynasty. Beiting guarded the Jiayuguan and has always been a contested land in the northwest. Beiting turned to the Yan Dynasty and proclaimed its subjects to the Yan Dynasty. Over the years, they have maintained a good relationship with the Imperial Court. However, it was only good on the surface.

In particular, a few years ago, the Tatar Khan unified the various tribes of Mobei, intending to revive the vigor of the grassland empire, and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate also changed a new Supreme Khan, who was ambitious and had long coveted the Central Plains. But at that moment, the Yan Dynasty has changed to a seven-year-old emperor.

Tatar and Eastern Chagatai Khanate were eyeing each other, and Beiting, which was located between the three regimes, has gradually begun to waver. The internal situation in Beiting was complicated, and the forces of all regimes had infiltrated into it. The royal family of Beiting was even more straightforward. From the generation of Anji Timur's paternal grandfather, the surrounding regimes obey whoever was more formidable. It was obviously wishful thinking to count on the loyalty of the Beiting's royal family to the Yan Dynasty.

Therefore, this hunting was not simple, but more to deter Beiting and win over Anji Timur. Anji Timur brought his children on this outing and camped not far away. After Jing Wang arrived yesterday, he simply went to greet them. Today was the official meeting between the two parties.

On this kind of occasion, not too formal, not necessarily has to wear court attire, but must not be sloppy and definitely could not let Beiting people look down on them.

Zhao Zixun chose an official court attire, which was magnificent and prominent, but it did not signify an official rank and less pompous. As soon as Zhao Zixun entered the main tent, he raised his eyes and saw Zhao Chengjun in a red silk dragon prince robe sitting behind the table. His chest and back were embroidered with a coiled dragon bearing fangs and brandish claws that looked ferocious and wild, a jade belt tied on his waist, and black boots with thick white soles on his feet. It made him looked majestic and domineering.

Zhao Chengjun lowered his eyes as if he was looking at something. His facial expression was very grim. As a whole, he was tall and handsome with distinctive edges and corners, and when he was not smiling, he looked unapproachable. Right now, he was wearing a prince's attire, and his striking red robe was so brash that it almost burned people's eyes, and the coiled dragon on his body which resembled a dragon was silently declaring his status.
