Actually there's one silly mistake.

{
    "chat_id": "-1001751031382",
    "text": "test",
    "parse_mode": "Markdown",
    "disable_web_page_preview": true,
    "replay_markup": {
        ^^^
        "inline_keyboard": [
            [
                {
                    "text": "text1",
                    "url": "https://ali-qorbani.ir/1"
                },
                {
                    "text": "text2",
                    "url": "https://ali-qorbani.ir/2"
                }
            ],
            [
                {
                    "text": "start",
                    "url": "https://ali-qorbani.ir/4"
                }
            ]
        ]
    }
}

It's not replay_markup instead, it should be reply_markup. Just a typo is what causing this issue.

Hope this helps!

Edit

One other thing I noticed is, the disable_web_page_preview parameter has been long gone. If you actually want to disable web page preview, you should use the link_preview_options parameter. It'll look something like this:

{
  "chat_id": "....",

  ...

  "link_preview_options": {
    "is_disabled": true,
  }

  ...
}

Happy coding!
