"Sister." Su Tai's younger brother Nan Chu stepped in and said to Su Tai with a smile, "I have sent the envoys from the Ming court away and rewarded them with some silver."
Yehenarasutai nodded, looked at himself in the mirror, and said slowly: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty can remember the Yehe tribe's contribution to helping the Ming Dynasty resist the Jianzhou Jurchens, and treat the remaining Yehe tribe well. He can be said to have a conscience."
Nan Chu pondered for a moment and said, "Sister, I think the Nara Zhongming that the Ming Emperor found is a fake."
Su Tai was stunned for a moment, looked at his brother through the mirror, blinked, and understood what his brother meant.
Although he also held an official position in the Chahar tribe, it was due to his favor. If Nara Zhongming was an imposter, then his brother had set his sights on the commander of the Jianzhou Guard and was thinking of getting this position from the Ming court.
"Revitalizing the Yehe tribe has always been my ambition." Nan Chu made no secret of his wish and stated his hope directly, "If I can get the position of commander of Jianzhou Guard, there will be hope for the revival of the Yehe tribe."
Su Tai pondered and did not answer immediately. After a long while, he said, "Restoring the Yehe tribe may not be the purpose of the Ming Dynasty. Pushing forward Nara Zhongming is also to win over the remaining Yehe people in Liaodong."
"Sister, I'm just guessing," Nan Chu said. "If the Ming Dynasty really wants to revive the Yehe Jurchens and destroy the Jianzhou Jurchens, wouldn't this be a golden opportunity? If we miss it, won't we regret it?"
Su Tai reached out and opened the gift box, which contained exquisite jewelry. From its shape to its workmanship, it reflected the superb skills of the Ming Dynasty craftsmen.
"Since you want to try, I won't stop you." Su Tai took out a pair of earrings and put them on himself in front of the mirror. "Go ask the Ming envoy and test his opinion to see if you can get Ming's support."
Nan Chu nodded vigorously, feeling that his origin was legitimate. As long as he could convince the Ming Kingdom, there should be no problem in replacing the imposter Nara Zhongming.
As for the extent of the Jianzhou Guard Commander's authority and whether he could help the Yehe tribe rebuild and rise again, we could discuss it later. At worst, I could just come back; there wouldn't be any loss.
