"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Bai Gui knelt on the ground, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
The imperial examination was just to give scholars all over the world something to do.
You can't tell the world that your class is fixed from the day you are born. Stop struggling and lie down.
Will there still be Ming Dynasty in the hearts of people in this world?
Will they still do their own thing diligently?
Can Ming Dynasty still develop?
From ancient times to the present, life is determined from the moment of birth. The so-called hard work, hard work, and improvement are just the top trying to make a bigger pie for the bottom.
The imperial examination, on the surface, is a window for the lower class to rise up the social ladder.
But this window has never been opened and has been sealed long ago.
In fact, the only person who wanted to open this window was the emperor himself. He wanted to stabilize society and inject new blood into the official class.
But starting from the cabinet ministers, they began to occupy the Jinshi quota for the family.
Divide it from top to bottom, and what will be left in the end?
Even a scholar needs to operate.
The solidification of the Ming Dynasty's class led to the formation of a huge corruption group. This force could even influence the political situation and even determine the emperor's death.
"I am not a saint, but I am mature."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were dark: "If it were me a few months ago, this Qianqing Palace would be filled with blood again."
Bai Gui's face turned pale and he was about to speak, but Hu Hui glanced at him and told him to shut up.
"This person, the more he knows, the less courageous he becomes."
"A reckless man dies early and in a strange way."
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "Well, especially people who have died once are even more timid. Old master, don't you think so?"
Ding!
The emperor became suspicious again.
He suspected that it was a huge corruption group that controlled the emperor's life!
So in the entire court, who is taking the lead in corruption?
Catch them all, no one can escape.
If this problem cannot be investigated, should we send factory guards to investigate?
Didn’t the factory guard get a copy?
As long as they are human beings, they will be corrupted, because those who are not corrupted will be squeezed out of the circle, and they will eventually die without knowing where they are, and will eventually be assimilated.
Unless the emperor personally goes to jail, how many people can the emperor investigate? Will he suddenly die suddenly?
Zhu Qiyu was really powerless.
So he compromised. Since he can't kill you, he will wait for the opportunity to kill you.
"I think there is nothing wrong with this question!" Hu Hu did not dare to answer directly.
Zhu Qiyu looked dissatisfied.
He hoped that Hu Hui would tell him in front of the courtiers to protect his safety.
"Just use it for policy discussion. You can discuss the rest. If you think it works, use it. If it doesn't work, just replace it." Zhu Qiyu didn't bother to say anything, so he simply sat down to deal with the memorial.
Hu Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead and glared at Bai Gui.
Bai Gui also knew that he said the wrong thing.
There are some things that you have to pretend not to know. The emperor is already very suspicious and ill. Are you going to turn him into a complete tyrant?
Bai Gui was secretly annoyed. Geng Jiuchou must have known about it, so he deliberately refused to answer and made him look embarrassed.
He glanced at Geng Jiuchou.
Just as his eyes met with Geng Jiuchou's, sparks flew between them.
They started discussing the topic.
The examination is divided into three sessions. The first session is "Yi", such as the Four Books Yi, Yi Yi, Shu Yi, Shi Yi, Chun Qiu Yi, Li Yi, etc.
The second scene is "Lun", "Edict", "Edict", and "Exhibition".
The third game is five questions.
The questions asked by the emperor did not meet the standards for selecting talents for the cabinet. The emperor selected talents for himself, and the cabinet selected talents for the world.
Anyway, the important ministers think so.
He started to put forward his own suggestions. The little eunuch who was copying beside him was so tired that he kept shaking his hands and recorded dozens of pieces of paper.
The courtiers were still arguing.
Zhu Qiyu turned a deaf ear and watched the memorial with interest.
As for whether he listened or not, no one knows.
When they were noisy and their voices became hoarse, the eunuch served them tea and moved a brocade pier for them so that they could continue to quarrel.
Is the emperor watching the fun?
Zhu Qiyu was still lowering his head to review the memorial, but there was a smile on his lips.
The courtiers understood that it was not that the emperor was not good at asking questions, but that he deliberately threw a bone for the courtiers to bite.
Suddenly, the courtiers felt a surge of anger.
That's it, whatever you like.
In the end, I even got back the questions that the emperor had given me, and used this method to make me feel lonely.
Hu Xi coughed lightly and said: "Recently, there have been frequent incidents of favoritism and malpractice in the imperial examinations. The Ministry of Rites should pay attention to prevention."
"Your Majesty knows." Bai Gui saluted.
Qianqing Palace returned to calm.
"Are you done arguing?" Zhu Qiyu raised his head.
"I have made your Majesty laugh." Hu Hu took the lead in saluting.
"Your Majesty's thoughts are on government affairs, and you have a quarrel over test papers. This is a state matter, and I can understand it."
Zhu Qiyu had a smile on his face.
"but!"
He changed the subject: "Where is this?"
"Qianqing Palace, my bedroom, why are you making such a fuss here!"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly became furious.
The courtiers were so frightened that they fell to the ground. The emperor went crazy again!
"Rules, rules, have you forgotten all the rules?"
"You are ministers. Should ministers make a fuss in your father's palace?"
"No need to apologize!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were dark and his tone was slightly slower: "Okay!"
"I've put up with the quarrel. There should be a result, right?"
"But what about you?"
"It's so lonely! There's nothing! You're still using the questions I gave you!"
"Then what are you arguing about?"
The courtiers knelt on the ground, worried in their hearts: "I am guilty!"
The emperor became angry because the imperial examination debate was not clear and clear.
So the emperor was angry.
"It's useful to plead guilty, but why use national law?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were gloomy: "Except for the policy discussion, you will come out again. I will look at it after you are done, and it will come out here."
Except for the imperial examination debate.
He felt that he was not knowledgeable enough and his ability to answer the questions was not good enough, but the courtiers were very perfunctory and simply used his own, which made him very dissatisfied.
I select talents for the country, not for personal gain.
"I obey the order!" Hu and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"There will be a banquet in the Qianqing Palace in the evening to entertain the Tatar envoys. You can stay with us." Zhu Qiyu calmed down his anger.
He couldn't find a target to kill now.
Whoever pushes him to die is the one who deserves to be killed.
Zhu Qiyu stood up and walked to the inner palace.
He went to change clothes.
"Is Mrs. Tan here?" Zhu Qiyu asked Feng Xiao in a low voice.
"Go back to your Majesty, we are waiting to discuss the selection of servants." Feng Xiao couldn't figure out the Emperor's mood and anger. Just now he thought that the Emperor was going to kill someone when he was angry.
But unexpectedly, the anger came and went quickly.
Enter the inner palace.
"See Your Majesty!" Tan Yunxian saluted.
"stand up."
Zhu Qiyu entered the palace: "Wait for me to change my clothes."
"I obey the decree." Tan Yunxian stood up and followed the emperor.
"I'm too busy today, so I kept you waiting for a long time."
Zhu Qiyu's voice was gentle. While waiting for him to change his clothes, he suddenly asked: "Your brother Tan Yilin did a good job in Hetao. Yuan Jie praised him a lot in his memorial."
Tan Yunxian was slightly startled, with a trace of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
I heard that His Majesty asked Concubine Tang to sleep with him last night.
Today I talked to her about the mother clan again.
I'm afraid it has something to do with the position in the middle palace.
She checked His Majesty's pulse every day and knew that the Emperor's health was well enough to have an heir.
So he is considering who is suitable to take over the central palace.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Tan Yunxian's eyes. If she and His Majesty had shared the joys and sorrows, she would also be willing to compete.
But she didn't, and she was just choosing an attendant, so why should she fight with the imperial concubine?
The imperial concubine and His Majesty share the joys and sorrows, and their emotions are naturally unparalleled by others.
But the imperial concubine also has a weakness, that is, her mother clan is too weak to give her enough support outside the palace.
But Tanjia is different.
My uncle Tan Jing and my father Tan Gang were both Jinshi scholars and civil servants.
Another brother, Tan Yilin, was valued by the emperor.
She also has the Zhu family, her aunt, and the Qian family, her biological mother, who can all support her.
but.
Don't think of Concubine Tang as Xiaobai. She was kind-faced but cruel, and if she violated her interests, she would die without knowing why.
Moreover, the emperor was moody and extremely suspicious.
When serving such a master, one must not have any ulterior motives. Once discovered, she will die in an unknown manner.
"Return to your majesty, temporary matters cannot tell the difference between people's hearts."
Tan Yunxian said softly: "Brother has the ability, and if it is gold, it will shine."
"If a local official brags about his brother's abilities in order to flatter his family."
"I'm afraid that if I return to the center, I will be seen through by His Majesty's piercing eyes."
"When the time comes, it will still be the family that will be embarrassed."
"The gain is not worth the loss."
"Besides, Your Majesty attaches so much importance to Hetao. My brother has made great achievements in Hetao. Why should he return to Beijing?"
Zhu Qiyu glanced at her, this kind of intelligence was rare.
"I know Yuan Jie's character. He will not praise someone easily." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.
I am also making comparisons in my mind.
Comparing Tang Guifei and Tan Shi.
The Tan family's relative is too strong, but the Tang family is not even close to that.
If Concubine Tang gave birth to her eldest son first, and Mrs. Tan gave birth to her second son, there would probably be a fight between dragons and tigers.
But if Mrs. Tan gives birth to her eldest son, will Concubine Tang be willing to do so?
Tang has been in the palace for many years and is very skillful. She has shared the joys and sorrows with him. When it comes to palace battles, even ten thousand Tan Yunxians can't compare to Tang Guifei.
Can the child grow up healthily?
Don't underestimate women's jealousy. When they are anxious, they will not be rational.
"You are right, let Tan Yilin have more experience."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Xiao Weizhen is going to Fujian. Zuo Shaoqing and Qi Zheng will take over the position of temple minister. Let Tan Gang be Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple."
Plop!
Tan Yunxian knelt on the ground: "I beg your Majesty not to let my father suddenly rise to the throne because of my concubine!"
This is a pit!
A trap set by the emperor.
As long as she agrees, she will be kicked out as a candidate for the position of the middle palace.
At some point, she also developed ambitions for the position in the middle palace.
"You are too cautious. I am not testing you, but there is really a shortage of people in the court, so let him go." Zhu Qiyu had already made up his mind.
Tan Yunxian was suddenly confused and couldn't figure out the emperor's routine.
This should obviously be a trap, why did the emperor allow it?
"It's not bad to talk about scriptures. I have already ordered Nanjing's important ministers to come to Beijing to fill the vacancy. Talking about scriptures will soon enter the country."
Tan Yunxian was even more shocked.
Is the emperor intentionally supporting his relatives?
Can the Tan family stand the test of the emperor?
She knew that her father, although he was a Jinshi, made a fuss and was so obsessed with success that he could not sit on the bench. Such a person would inevitably make mistakes when he suddenly rose to a high position.
With the emperor's ruthlessness, he will inevitably alienate himself in the palace.
But the emperor was determined to support his relatives, this...
"Please take my pulse." Zhu Qiyu sat on the chair regardless of her thoughts.
Tan Yunxian came over on his knees and gently put his hand on the emperor's wrist.
Youyou sighed and could only think about it.
"Your Majesty is in good health, and you can have heirs!" Tan Yunxian kowtowed and congratulated the emperor, but his thoughts were written on his face.
"You're feeling well, good!"
Zhu Qiyu stared at her: "Is it possible to have sex?"
Tan Yunxian nodded lightly: "But Your Majesty still needs to exercise some restraint..."
"I know."
Zhu Qiyu was in a happy mood and pulled her up: "Tan Shi, thanks to you, my body can recover. With you in the palace from now on, I will have nothing to worry about."
"Your Majesty is in good health, so he recovered quickly." Tan Yunxian was able to speak.
The palace is a big dye vat, and those who make a living here will learn everything.
But she was clearly distracted.
"How are you using the virgin I gave you?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"I would also like to thank Your Majesty. These virgins have excellent qualifications. With a little guidance from me, I have already started to practice. I believe that they will be able to practice medicine in the world within a few years."
Tan Yunxian is very satisfied with these one hundred girls.
"Let out a hundred female doctors. They are like seeds, they will take root and sprout outside the palace."
"In less than fifty years, the Ming Dynasty will no longer be short of doctors."
"When the people can afford medical treatment, the world will truly be at peace."
Zhu Qiyu grabbed her hand and said, "Ms. Tan, I have you like this, what more could I ask for."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Tan Yunxian said shyly.
But I know that she successfully passed the test.
In the emperor's mind, she was still a candidate for the middle palace.
Whoever gives birth to an heir first, between her and Tang Guifei, will be the queen!
At this moment, ambition arose in her heart, the position of queen.
Her son is no longer a vassal king, but an emperor!
Who can resist this temptation?
"There is still something to do in the previous court, and I will order you to sleep with me the next day."
Zhu Qiyu wants to leave the first time to Tang Guifei.
She had been waiting for this day for too long.
Can't let her down.
As for who gets pregnant first, it all depends on their own abilities.
"Concubine, thank you for your grace!" Tan Yunxian bowed, her ambition growing in her heart. She wanted to be the first to give birth to an heir and take over the palace!
Before that, I would like to remind my father that he must be careful in his words and deeds and never make mistakes.
Since His Majesty wants to support you, you must be worthy of support. Otherwise, no matter how hard I try in the palace, it will be all in vain.
Her eyes became more determined.
The originally harmonious harem had cracks at this moment.
Seeing Tan Yunxian curling away.
The smile on Zhu Qiyu's face widened: "Concubine Xuan Tang, I will stay with you tonight."
I have finally waited for this day!
Feng Xiao heard everything. He knew that the emperor's body could last for generations.
The eunuch's wealth is not only tied to the emperor, but also to the prince. As long as the emperor gives birth to a dragon heir, their wealth is guaranteed and they will be more loyal.
This was the case in the palace, why was it not the same in the previous dynasty?
All the civil and military officials who worked for the emperor were tied to the palace.
The emperor had no heirs and could not guarantee their prosperity for generations.
Everyone is looking forward to the birth of the emperor's child.
The day is finally here!
Zhu Qiyu suppressed the joy in his heart and walked up to the main hall.
Disposal meeting memorial.
"Old Master, come with me for a walk." Zhu Qiyu walked out of the hall.
Hu Hui vaguely guessed that the emperor cared about Mobei because he was still fighting after all.
"Old Master, please check my pulse." Zhu Qiyu walked to the pavilion.
Hu Xi wanted to kneel down, but Zhu Qiyu asked him to sit down and stretched out his wrist.
He couldn't just trust Tan Yunxian and listen to others in secret. He had to ask a few more people to be sure.
but.
The courtiers were also judging the emperor's temperament, and the emperor's suspicion was almost written on his forehead.
At this moment, Hu Hui could amplify the suspicion in the emperor's heart, and also make the emperor temporarily feel at ease. Why is the future direction of the Ming Dynasty not in the hands of the courtiers?
Zhu Qiyu tried his best to break free. He didn't want to be a puppet on strings, so why not be a puppet on strings?
When the courtiers thoroughly understand his character, they will use new methods to deceive him and put him in a cage in disguise.
Emperor Xuanzong is the best example.
He seems to control the world, but in fact he is a puppet of the civil servants.
To be an emperor, one has to change extremely, so that the courtiers can never understand the emperor's character, so that he will not be deceived.
"Your Majesty's pulse is strong and your body is in good condition." Hu Hui tasted more.
In the past, Zhu Qiyu lacked perseverance and perseverance, and pursued things quickly and urgently;
Now my temperament has settled down, I have become perseverant and perseverant, and I am relaxed and relaxed in doing things.
Being an emperor brings too many temptations.
Let's just say that in this palace, there are many noble ladies from all over the world, and they come in all kinds of colors. It can be said that there are so many of them that you are spoiled for choice.
However, the emperor regarded him as nothing, which shows his perseverance.
The most terrifying thing about people is to restrain their desires. Such people have great ambitions.
Hu Hui was wondering about the emperor's temperament.
Zhu Qiyu is also observing Hu Hui. Can he protect my life? How can I make myself live longer?
"Can I do the house thing?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"Your Majesty is in good health, so of course it's okay. I just ask your Majesty to exercise restraint and never do it too many times or too frequently."
Hu Xi knelt on the ground with sincere eyes.
"Old Master, please wake up. How many times do you think is best?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Once every seven to ten days is the way to maintain health. Do not do it too much or too frequently, as it will affect His Majesty's holy body." Hu Hui said seriously.
Is it too little?
The most difficult thing for this man is to restrain himself.
"Your Majesty, you only know that the joy in this is not limited to a few times. The ancient sages took pleasure in this, and the pleasure is more important than desire."
Hu Hui said extremely seriously: "Put happiness as the priority and keep the water flowing slowly, so that your Majesty's body will become healthier and you will live longer."
This makes sense.
Corrupting the body for the sake of desire is the most stupid thing.
"I understand." Zhu Qiyu's eyes were firm.
His qualifications are not good, and his civil and martial arts are not top-notch. He only has a tenacity that other emperors do not have.
This tenacity has developed his toughness and character.
A smile appeared on Hu Hui's face: "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body. I will ask for a pulse every day to ensure your Majesty's health."
This is guaranteed.
Sure enough, Hu Hui heard it. He was angry in Qianqing Palace because he didn't get Hu Hui's guarantee.
"Thank you for your hard work, old lady."
After chatting for a few more words, they returned to Qianqing Palace.
Lunch was taken at Qianqing Palace.
The courtiers and the emperor ate the same food. Geng Jiuchou, Bai Gui and others looked disgusted when they saw the unpalatable but nutritious food on the table.
The emperor ate it with gusto, because the food in the palace was a little cold because of the many poison tests.
Feng Xiao specially prepared a stove in Qianqing Palace to heat up the food while eating.
It definitely doesn't taste good, but it's safer.
Hu Hui felt relieved that the emperor could eat these every day, which was the way to maintain his health.
However, from the perspective of courtiers, it is not a good thing for the emperor to live long.
The afternoon was spent busy.
It's time for the banquet.
Zhu Qiyu stretched his waist and said: "Kou Shen has done a good job in Gansu Town. He passed the decree and ordered Kou Shen to be the governor of Shaanxi. He will oversee Shaanxi Province and plow and clear Shaanxi for me."
"The ministers are also tired, and it's time to welcome the Tatar envoy."
"When the time comes, all the ministers will act according to my eyes."
I know that you will not let the Tatar mission go easily.
Don't stay and be a eunuch this time.
If we stay any longer, our envoy will have to become a eunuch when he goes to Mobei. Please think about it for the envoy.
Zhu Qiyu changes his crown uniform.
Hajj should have a series of procedures, but Zhu Qiyu skipped them all and entertained the Tatars with a meal.
When the time came, the envoys entered the palace one after another.
Zhu Qiyu sat on the steps.
The ministers sat on their desks.
The head of the envoy was called Agudamu, and he paid homage according to Ming etiquette.
However, Ming Dynasty seemed to be entertaining them with Tatar etiquette.
"Get flat."
Zhu Qiyu said in a calm tone: "Mantulu sent you to apologize to me?"
"Reporting to His Majesty the Ming Dynasty:"
"The Ming Dynasty and Tatar are friendly countries separated by a strip of water."
"The foreign minister came with sincerity and begged the Emperor of Heaven to open up a horse market for our country and trade more."
"I came for peace."
Agu Ke is smarter than the previous two groups.
He speaks Chinese very fluently. If he hadn't been wearing the clothes of a Tatar envoy, he would have thought he was from the Ming Dynasty.
"We can't talk about friendly countries. Tatar has attached itself to the Ming Dynasty several times. It should be the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Mantulu is also my subject." Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
The emperor is at it again.
"What your Majesty said is true. The Tatars are indeed attached to the Ming Dynasty. According to etiquette, the Great Khan of our country should indeed submit to your Majesty."
What?
A sharp light shot out of Hu Xi's eyes. Why did this Agu show weakness like this?
What happened in Tatar country?
Mantulu is in a hurry to return home? Is that why you bow your head?
He immediately gave the emperor a look.
"You are an interesting messenger."
Zhu Qiyu understood this and smiled: "Do you think I am King Huai of Chu?"
King Huai of Chu was a fool who was deceived by Zhang Yi three times.
He uses the past to satirize the present.
But this Agu understands.
"Foreign officials dare not compare with Duke Zhang."
Agu noticed the astonishment of the Ming court officials and said with a smile: "The foreign ministers have been exposed to Chinese since childhood and are very yearning for Chinese culture."
Boyan of Wala also admired Han culture, so he helped Zhu Qizhen in everything.
Zhu Qiyu became interested in him and asked, "What's your surname?"
"The foreign minister's surname is Choros!" Agu replied respectfully.
What?
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were suffocated: "Croros? Who are you first?"
"He is the uncle of the foreign minister, and the biological father of the foreign minister is Boyan Timur!" Agu knelt on the ground and said.
Boyan's son!
Boyan is Yesian's younger brother. When Zhu Qizhen was in Mobei, he and Boyan were close friends. Thanks to Boyan's help, he was able to survive in the Oara Camp.
However, Boyan was killed by his subordinates after five years in Jingtai.
His son should be in Oara, so why did he end up in Tatar?
"The foreign minister is indeed Boyan's son, but Boyan doesn't know that there is a son like the foreign minister."
"The mother of the foreign minister was a maid in the Khan's court. She was blessed by Boyan to give birth to the foreign minister."
"But the foreign minister has always been raised in the Khan's court as Boyan's own son."
Agu told his life story without hesitation.
It turned out to be an illegitimate child.
Zhu Qiyu squinted his eyes, which was a bit interesting.
Mandu Lu sent Boyan's son here. Did he think it was Zhu Qizhen who had the final say in the Ming Dynasty?
"No wonder even King Huai of Chu knows about it."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "It turns out he is Boyan's son."
"Your father, Boyan, has a close relationship with Daming."
"King Mobei and your father are close friends, and King Mobei is my biological brother."
"Looking at it this way, we are somewhat related, right?"
"Big nephew!"
Well!
Agu touched his beard, I am forty-two this year, how old are you?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Agu climbed up the pole directly.
Hu Hu couldn't help laughing and drank to cover it up.
This guy is hard to deal with.
Zhu Qiyu's smile froze slightly, Your Majesty's uncle? What the hell is this called?
"Uncle Your Majesty, Tatar and the Ming Dynasty are friendly countries. We ask the two countries to stop their troops and carry out border trade to exchange what they need." Agu said bluntly.
With this title, why do you feel like you are taking advantage of me?
"What kind of emergency are the Tatars in? Are they so anxious that they have to retreat?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"To be honest, your majesty, uncle, Daning is like an iron barrel, and the powerful Tatar cavalry is helpless. The two countries are wasting their national power, so it is better to shake hands and make peace."
Agu's sincerity made the courtiers confused about Tatar's tricks.
They were ready for the Tatar lion to open its mouth.
Even Zhu Qiyu is considering leaving a few as eunuchs in the palace this time.
But I didn't expect that the Tatars would surrender when they came up. What happened?
"The Ming Dynasty is so powerful, but the Ming Dynasty doesn't take it seriously." Zhu Qiyu was stubborn.
"Foreign ministers admit that the Ming Dynasty is extremely powerful and is the number one country in the world!"
Agu actually knelt on the ground and said, "But please, Your Majesty, have mercy on the Tatar people."
"Your Majesty belongs to the Kingdom of Heaven, Tatar is attached to the Ming Dynasty, and the Tatar people also belong to the people of the Ming Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, please show mercy to the herdsmen and let the two countries shake hands and make peace."
Agu's words were sincere and his tone was pleading.
What's going on?
Hu Bi's eyes widened. Something must have happened within the Tatars, otherwise they wouldn't beg for mercy like this!
Something must have happened.
Doesn't it mean that Yu Qian can take advantage of the chaos and win?
It was time to immediately send an order to Yu Qian, ordering Yu Qian's troops to leave Daning and keep the Tatars in the Great Wall.
At the same time, he also lamented Yu Qian's good luck. Last time he defeated Wala, this time he faced the Tatars and took advantage again.
But Zhu Qiyu didn't think so.
Mandu Luneng unified the Tatars and was by no means a simple figure.
He sent A Gu to show weakness and tricked Yu Qian into leaving the city.
The Tatar soldiers are good at field battles, while the Ming army is good at defending cities.
Once Yu Qian leaves the city, he will be the prey of the Tatars. If Daning is lost, the capital will be in danger.
"Big nephew, get up."
"You are Boyan's son, and I am your uncle."
"Mandulu is my subject again, and all the tribes in Mobei are my subjects."
"My pity is also deserved."
Zhu Qiyu has been paying attention to Agu's expression.
However, Agu's face was expressionless, showing no emotion or anger. This is a talent.
"but!"
"There is a price to pay for surrendering."
"Since we are all our own people, let us leave 10,000 horses, 20,000 cattle, and 100,000 sheep, and let the two sides shake hands and make peace."
"You respectfully ask for border trade, and I agree."
Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
This is a bargain.
However, Agu instantly grasped the emperor's bottom line and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, uncle, life in Mobei has been difficult in the past two years, and I really can't get what you want."
"How many can there be?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"The Tartars are willing to pay tribute to a thousand horses, a thousand oxen, and five thousand sheep."
This is also a big fortune.
Is something really happening in Tatar?
Hu Xi was also confused.
Really divided according to military strength, Oara, Tatar, Ming, Jurchen, and Ulyangha should be in this order.
The Tatar military strength is stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty.
Why did he suddenly beg for mercy when he came to fight Qiugu?
Weird, really weird.
He secretly waved to Feng Xiao. After Feng Xiao nodded from the emperor, he quietly appeared behind Hu Hui. Hu Hui lowered his voice and said: "Bring the memorial from Yu Taibao, quickly."
Feng Xiao went to report to the emperor, and after receiving permission, he immediately asked someone to pick it up.
Hu Hui wanted to read Yu Qian's memorial and make a judgment.
"Tatar is too stingy." Zhu Qiyu continued to argue.
He was also a little confused.
Are the Tatars showing weakness to their enemies? Or did something really happen?
"Uncle Your Majesty, the Tatars are really poor, otherwise they would not come south."
Agu didn't dare to say that he came to fight Qiugu.
This is a derogatory term that treats Ming people as food. Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to words, so it tries to avoid suspicion.
"Please allow your majesty to grant the request of Mantulu Khan."
"The Great Khan is willing to take the title of Khan, and please His Majesty to be promoted to the Great Khan of Tatar."
"Please allow the Ming Dynasty to include Tatars."
Agu said with tears.
The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Hui.
Hu Hui was reading the memorial, and all the important officials were looking at it, trying to find the reason.
But there are no flaws.
Yu Qian was different from others. If there was a flaw, he would have discovered it long ago. There was no way he would not have written to the emperor.
"It seems that Mandulu knows that he is wrong." Zhu Qiyu answered bravely.
He is also confused...
etc!
If there is really a problem with the Tatars, what will happen to the cavalry that came from the Timur Khanate?
The destination of that cavalry was Tatar.
The Tatars still have the ability to accept 120,000 people, so how could there be trouble?
This is a plan!
It is a tactic to show the enemy weakness.
He deceived the emperor and asked him to order Yu Qian to send troops out of Daning.
This gave the Tatars an opportunity to take advantage of it. Tatar soldiers who were good at fighting in the field could defeat the Ming army on the plains.
"The Great Khan has really realized his mistake!" Agu cried loudly.
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu watched it for a while and suddenly laughed: "The play was well performed, I almost believed it."
Agu's face stiffened and he was about to explain.
"You want to trick Yu Qian into leaving the city and fighting in the field with you, right?"
"I am not King Huai of Chu."
"You are not Zhang Yi, you can't deceive me."
Even if there is an advantage, Zhu Qiyu will not take advantage of it.
Yu Qian cannot leave the city.
The capital of the Ming Dynasty is empty. Once Yu Qian is defeated, who will protect the capital?
It is possible to defend against enemies outside.
When they come to the capital, should he, the emperor, issue an imperial edict to punish himself?
What if there is a mole and the gates of the capital are opened, will he be taken as a prisoner? Or be a deserter? Or go to Long Live Mountain and hang yourself on that crooked-necked tree?
Zhu Qiyu didn't dare to gamble.
"Your Majesty, everything the foreign minister said is true, I would never dare to deceive Your Majesty!"
Agu cried and said: "Foreign, foreign minister, please tell the truth to you. Unfortunately, unfortunately, the Great Khan was killed!"
What?
All the Ming court officials stood up.
Hu Xidu's eyes flashed, what an opportunity!
Yu Qian's report was quite satisfactory, and he could not find any flaws, but Agu said that Mantulu Khan was dead, and if Yu Qian seized the opportunity, he would definitely hit it with one blow.
Such great achievements are so easy to achieve!
"How did Mandu Luhan die?" Hu Xi asked urgently, without caring about etiquette.
The sound of crying could be heard throughout the mission.
"There are tribes with ulterior motives who sent people to assassinate the Great Khan."
"Originally, there was a cowardly Xue army escorting him, so the Khan was fine, but the camp was in chaos."
"In order to stabilize people's hearts, the Great Khan stood on a towering chariot and let everyone see that just when people's hearts were just stabilized, someone shot the Great Khan with an arrow."
"But it's nothing serious. The Khan is wearing three layers of armor. It's just a skin injury."
"But Meng people can't live without wine for a day. When the Khan was discussing matters, he would not leave his hand with wine. He drank too much and caused hemorrhage..."
"Then, I will return to the Immortal Heaven!"
Agu said it very vividly and the details were right.
Hu Hu and others believed most of them.
Zhu Qiyu was thinking, if it were him, Mantulu, would he drink even though he knew he was injured?
The doctor would not fail to remind him not to drink alcohol.
Mandulu had gone through a lot of hard work to regain his power. Would he not spare his body just for a moment of greed?
"Your Majesty!" Hu Xi nodded towards Zhu Qiyu.
But Zhu Qiyu didn't believe it.
The envoys burst into tears. They all came from Mantulu's timid Xue army and were extremely loyal to Mantulu.
The cry does not seem to be fake.
Zhu Qiyu was confused instead.
But at this moment, Qin Cheng hurried in from behind and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Daning."
"Submit it!" Zhu Qiyu glanced at the name, it was Yu Qian's report.
Take it apart and look at it.
Yu Qian was actually saying that there was chaos in the Tatar army, and a small army was marching towards Mobei. It seemed like something had happened to the Tatar camp.
He is sending people to inquire.
it is true?
What a coincidence.
Zhu Qiyu asked people to report the report to Hu Hui and other important ministers.
A cold light flashed in Agu's eyes.
"My eldest nephew, don't cry. Man's destiny is destined. Mantulu is an outstanding person, and he will make his way underground."
Zhu Qiyu scrawled a few words of comfort: "Wait a moment, I will go change clothes."
He winked at Hu Hui.
Entering the inner palace, Hu Xi said urgently: "Your Majesty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Aren't you going to sweep across Mobei?"
"Just in time to take advantage of the news of Mantulu's death, let's eat the Tatar elite cavalry!"
"The most elite Tatar army is just outside Daning City. As long as we eat it, the Tatars will be invincible!"
Hu Xi was very excited.
"Hasn't the old lady ever thought that this was a trap?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
Hu Xi was stunned for a moment: "Yu Taibao's secret report is absolutely conclusive."
"This may be Mantulu doing it deliberately to show us."
Zhu Qiyu was hesitant: "Old Master, think about it, how could you drink too much if you were injured by an arrow?"
"He also said that if you wear three layers of armor, how much damage can an arrow hurt?"
"If you break your skin, will you die suddenly if you drink too much?"
"I don't believe it."
Zhu Qiyu actually wanted to go to war, but he didn't dare to gamble.
After being told this, Hu Xi also woke up.
He took two steps back and bowed deeply: "Fortunately, Your Majesty is awake. I am anxious."
"If what your Majesty thinks is the truth."
"Mandulu hopes that Yu Qian will send his troops out of Daning to fight the Tatars in the field."
"Then, traps have been set up around Daning City for a long time, and Yi Qian has jumped into them."
Hu Xi broke into a cold sweat.
"That's right!"
"If it's a trap."
"The capital cannot be saved."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered and his tone was faint.
Hu Xi turned pale with fright and fell to the ground: "I'm guilty, I've lost my position, I'm worried!"
"Fortunately, Your Majesty is awake, God bless you!"
"This Mantulu has such deep thoughts."
"If he wants to learn, he should be the first to surround the capital and capture the emperor as a prisoner!"
Hu Xi's eyes were full of fear: "Then Mandu Luneng defeated the Grand Master and unified the Tatars. How could he be a weak lord?"
"So I created a good show of pretending to die and sent a mission to the Ming Dynasty to beg for mercy."
"Actually, it was to trick Ming into sending troops."
"He Mantulu has won a big victory and stabilized his rule."
That's right!
Mantulu unified the Tatars.
But the unification was only on paper. The various tribes followed the instructions but not the propaganda, so they just regarded him as a mascot.
If Mantulu brings them to Ming Dynasty to capture a Han emperor.
The Mongols worship the strong, just like the Tatars surrendered to Yexian's Wala.
Then, after this battle, Mantulu will become the real master of Mobei.
According to this analysis, the possibility of cheating death is the highest.
Hu Xi was even more frightened.
"Old Master, what if Mantulu is really dead?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "I just prepared for the worst, but it may be God's blessing and Mandu Lu is really dead."
Hu Xi also had no idea.
This happened so suddenly.
The Ming Dynasty had no secret sentry in Mobei, and his eyes were darkened, and he knew nothing.
"Your Majesty, why not leave the decision-making power to Yu Qian."
Hu Xi sighed: "If Mandulu dies, even though it is a God-given opportunity, the capital is empty and does not allow us to be willful."
"Yu Qian is on the front line, so he must be extremely sober."
"He won't send troops without authorization just because of a small disturbance."
"He is the most stable in using troops, and he also knows the importance of the Ming Dynasty. It is the second line of defense to protect the capital. There is no room for failure. Yu Qian knows it well."
"Leave it to Yu Qian, and the center will not comment, which is the best choice."
Hu Bi gritted his teeth.
He couldn't bear to give up this God-given opportunity.
However, the capital is empty. If there are 200,000 troops in the capital, no matter whether it is true or not, it will be over.
Zhu Qiyu nodded slowly: "I will tell Yu Qian to do whatever he wants without worrying about the capital. Once Daning is defeated, I will guard the capital. I won't blame him!"
Such an emperor is the most perfect emperor in the hearts of generals.
Taizu and Taizong were famous commanders in the world and outstanding figures in the world.
Emperor Jingtai is far inferior to his ancestors, but his greatest advantage is delegating power to the extreme.
He is also willing to tell the truth for his ministers. Such an emperor is really a courtier who wants to do things and is the most ideal monarch.
"Then how can I return to Agu?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"Promise!"
Hu Bi considered it carefully and said, "First of all, let's find out whether this Mantulu is really dead or is pretending to die."
"The purpose of sending an envoy to the Tatar camp is to receive tribute."
"If he is really dead, let Yu Qian drink some soup."
"If you cheat to death, continue to guard and consume the Tatars to death."
"The veteran thought that the Tatars are not very powerful and cannot consume Daning for a long time, otherwise they would not have come up with this method."
Hu Bi said quietly: "First get the benefits Agu promised to make up for some losses."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "I will go and ask for it, and the envoy will come and decide."
"Old minister, I obey the order!"
They left the palace one after another.
Hu Hui staggered, and Zhu Qiyu turned around to support him: "Are you too tired, old master? You go back to your house to rest first, and I will deal with it."
Hu Ming shook his head: "I can still persist. If I don't figure it out, I won't be worried. Thank you for your concern, I'll be fine."
But Zhu Qiyu saw that his face turned pale.
I'm afraid that I'm exhausted mentally and physically, and I'm so sad and happy that something's wrong with my body.
Zhu Qiyu held him down: "Old Master, your body is more important than anything else. I have to count on you. I can't get sick anymore."
"I can handle the Tatar mission."
"You go back to your home to rest first. If there is any disturbance in the palace, I will ask the eunuch to note it down and send it to you from time to time."
"how?"
Hu Hui's face was filled with emotion and she wanted to kneel down to thank him.
"You are exempt from the courtesy today, please go back." Zhu Qiyu supported him.
Hu Hui's eyes flashed with emotion.
Although such an emperor is suspected of trying to win people's hearts, which minister would not be willing to sacrifice his life for such an emperor?
Looking at Zhu Qiyu's back, he naturally knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully, and then took the royal chariot out of the palace.
Return to the main hall.
Zhu Qiyu put on his regular clothes and smiled brightly: "My nephew, I accept the Tatar's filial piety."
"The two countries stopped fighting and shook hands to make peace."
"At Jingfengkou, set up a horse market so that both parties can exchange what they have."
"But do we need to discuss the price of this horse?"
Agu was visibly relieved.
This small movement was captured by Zhu Qiyu.
