It should be said that since the Supreme Emperor returned to the court, although his status was respected, his actual power was very small, especially in major national affairs, because the edict announced in public when he returned to Beijing basically eliminated the possibility of the Supreme Emperor directly intervening in the government affairs.
However, although there is nothing else, at least in the territory of Nangong, what the Supreme Emperor says still counts.
There was no precedent in the Ming Dynasty for accepting daughters of foreign tribes as concubines. Emperor Taizu, Taizong, and even Emperor Xuanzong all had daughters of foreign tribes as concubines.
Of course, there are not many Mongolian concubines, and there are more beautiful girls donated by some small countries, such as North Korea, but it is not without them.
Coincidentally, the Supreme Emperor consecrated many concubines in the Nangong during this period. Out of respect, the Emperor and Queen did not interfere with this. As long as Queen Qian agreed, it was considered a ceremony.
As for the document that the emperor showed them just now, although it was only wavered from a distance, Queen Qian's seal was clearly on it, and it was obvious that she had obtained her consent.
Moreover, although the war between the Ming Dynasty and Oara has ceased, Oara has already surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. It is not unusual for the subordinate tribes to send beautiful women to the Ming Dynasty.
There are precedents before and rules after. From a clear point of view, no matter from which point of view, there is no problem for the Supreme Emperor to accept this foreign woman.
However, it is precisely this that makes people feel most helpless.
It is not a big deal to take a mere foreign woman as a concubine, but the problem is that this foreign woman is the biological sister of Grand Master Wala Yexian!
Not to mention his arrogant attitude of trying to invade the capital in the first place, which made everyone in the court hate him. From the perspective of the court situation, the Ming Emperor took the sister of Grand Master Wala as his concubine. The political significance of this , is definitely not comparable to marrying an ordinary Mongolian woman.
Everyone present was a person with very sophisticated political wisdom. As soon as they heard the news, they understood the answer to the emperor's last question.
Letting Qimuge enter the palace as a concubine was what he had won first. It was the greatest help Ming Dynasty had given to Wala!
Again, he was not stupid. He knew very well that for Daming, he had no intention and no spare power to intervene in the grassland disputes at this time. .
After all, today's Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty of Emperor Taizong.
In fact, maybe for Ming Dynasty, the mutual battle between him and Tuotuo Buhua would be happy to see the results.
So, in this case, if you want to ask for help from Ming Dynasty, you must use some skills.
Real things such as troops and food and grass are definitely out of the question, but there are some things that can be obtained if you think about it.
For example, the deterrent power of Ming Dynasty!
Qi Muge's status is special. As Yexian's biological sister, she was included in Nangong as a concubine. In fact, it can be regarded as a political marriage.
From then on, he could call himself the "uncle" of the Supreme Emperor, which was very useful in boosting the morale of the grassland tribes.
After all, everyone knew that the Ming Dynasty was rich and fertile. With this in-law relationship, even if the policy of border trade has not changed for the time being, it has given the Oara tribe "hope."
In addition, the entry of Qimu Ge into the palace, to a certain extent, at least represents the Emperor's understanding of Wala. To a greater extent, it means that Ming Dynasty and Wala are reconciled.
This situation must be bad news for Tuotuo Buhua, because it means that there are people who are pro-Wala within the Ming Dynasty.
In other words, once this group of people gains the upper hand, the Ming Dynasty may send troops to intervene in civil strife on the grassland at any time. This has always been done before. During the Yongle period, Emperor Taizong made several expeditions to the north, several of which were for the purpose of " "Mediating" wars among grassland tribes.
Although the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty knew very well that as the current ruler, the emperor had no intention of sending troops to the grassland, the complex power relations of the Tian family may not be known to ordinary people, let alone the grassland tribes thousands of miles away. .
The emperor's political direction, the actual status between Nangong and Qianqing Palace, and the actual effectiveness of the Supreme Emperor's edicts. Only a handful of people can clearly grasp these things, even in the court.
In the eyes of more people, the Tian family is now like brothers and brothers, serving as a model for all people. The imperial court is now united, running stably, government affairs are smooth, national strength is restored, and the world is at home.
This stable situation is undoubtedly beneficial to the entire country.
However, under today's special circumstances, people are a little helpless...
"Your Majesty, Bodu's move is just a fake attempt to use the power of the Ming Dynasty to protect the peace of Wala. It is actually a treacherous plan!"
After a moment of silence, Chief Assistant Wang Ao frowned and spoke bitterly.
However, by opening his mouth, one can see the attitude of ordinary ministers on this matter...
It was Bodu who plotted against the Ming Dynasty, and the Supreme Emperor was just deceived!
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, but did not speak. He just looked at Yu Qian and Hu Hui.
Of course, Uncle Hu Dazong started counting carpets again, but Yu Qian frowned.
"Your Majesty, the situation in the grassland is complicated. In my opinion, it is better for the Ming Dynasty not to intervene at this moment. I sincerely ask your Majesty to let the Supreme Emperor withdraw his canonization decree and send this girl back to Mongolia."
Yu Shaobao always speaks straightforwardly.
A mere Mongolian concubine is nothing, and Yu Qian is not too busy to take care of the emperor's harem. But, again, the emperor is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all. Although he no longer has any real power, he is still the emperor besides the emperor. , the only person who can represent Ming Dynasty.
Marrying such an early sister as a concubine will definitely make the Tatars jealous. Even if they don't worry about the situation on the grassland, it will also affect the current relationship between the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty.
In this case, either the Supreme Emperor would "take back" the decree and everything would return to calm, as if nothing had happened, or Ming would express his position elsewhere to show that he had no bias in matters concerning the grassland.
If you want to choose the latter, then there are two ways. One is that the emperor comes forward and expresses his position, saying that the emperor is the emperor, Ming Dynasty is Ming Dynasty, and marrying Na Yesian's sister does not represent Ming Dynasty's wishes.
But in this way, firstly, the discord between the Tian family will be made known to everyone, and secondly, others may not believe it.
If you want Tuotuo Buhua to believe that Ming Dynasty is really impartial, then you still have to take practical measures, such as expanding the scale of the mutual market...
However, this method is obviously not what Daming wants.
Therefore, the simplest way with the least loss is to ask the Supreme Emperor to withdraw his will and drive this Mongolian woman back.
As for whether going back on one's word would damage the Emperor's face, that was not something Yu Shangshu considered.
After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu's face showed a profound look, but he didn't say much, he just said.
"In that case, it might as well give it a try."
"Huai'en, go to Nangong to send a message, saying that Muge is Ye Xian's sister and should not stay in the capital. Please ask the Supreme Emperor to withdraw his previous decree and send Muge back to Yibei."
The emperor's straightforward attitude made Yu Qian stunned.
But Wynn did not hesitate. He hurriedly received the oral instruction and went down to deliver the message.
Afterwards, Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment, and then opened his mouth to give instructions to the chamberlain beside him.
"Go and summon Shen Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue to see me."
Another chamberlain hurried down, and the palace fell into a brief silence.
The emperor's attitude is actually very illustrative to a certain extent.
Again, after all, etiquette and law are paramount. Although the Supreme Emperor has no power, he is respected by the Emperor. Therefore, theoretically speaking, the Emperor cannot issue an order to the Supreme Emperor. He can only send messages to advise and let the Supreme Emperor take the initiative to withdraw the decree.
But it was obvious that the emperor was not optimistic about the possibility of success, so in addition to sending Hua En to deliver the message, he also summoned Shen Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
A trace of worry appeared on their faces at the same time. The three people below looked at each other, but none of them spoke.
Shen Yi came very quickly. Unlike the leisurely Ministry of Rites, during this period, Shen Shangshu worked overtime almost every day because of the affairs of the military camp, especially after deciding on the next direction to start redeeming privately cultivated land. The department is the highlight, and Shen Shangshu naturally does not dare to neglect it.
The ministry meeting was held all afternoon, and as soon as the preliminary plan was sorted out, I was summoned by the chamberlain, and I hurried over.
"Shen Yi, the Minister of Household Affairs, is here to see Your Majesty!"
After the ceremony, Shen Shangshu looked at everyone present and knew that things were definitely not simple.
Zhu Qiyu didn't give him any trouble. He roughly told what happened just now. Shen Yi's face suddenly became serious and he said.
"Your Majesty, if the mutual trade is stopped at this time, Tuotuo Buhua will definitely be dissatisfied. It is a critical moment for the imperial court to rectify the army and cannot take this risk."
"What Yu Shaobao said makes sense. At this time, I, the Ming Dynasty, had better not get involved in the grassland affairs and just wait and see what happens."
After listening to the emperor's narration, Shen Shangshu almost cursed in his heart.
What on earth is the Supreme Emperor thinking? !
Isn’t it enough to have so many beautiful concubines in Nangong? Do you have to covet a rich woman?
If Tuotuo Buhua really becomes dissatisfied because of this, whether there is another war on the border or the expansion of mutual trade, in the end, it will be the responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue.
I don’t know how much money I will have to pay by then!
She kept thinking about it in her heart, but on the surface Shen Yi didn't dare to say anything more, and just firmly opposed the matter.
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu was noncommittal, so everyone fell silent again.
After a while, Wynn finally returned to the temple.
"how?"
Knowing that everyone was paying attention to the results, Zhu Qiyu didn't waste any words and asked Wynn directly.
After serving the emperor for such a long time, Wynn also had a certain eye for it. Therefore, he did not shy away from anything. He cupped his hands and said in front of the others.
"Back to Your Majesty, when the ministers arrived at the Chonghua Hall, Bodu had not yet left. After the ministers conveyed His Majesty's oral instructions as they were, the Supreme Emperor pointed at the Mongolian woman and said, This is my old friend who came all the way to Beijing to find me in order to avoid the flames of war. You must not ignore it, you are just a woman, it will not interfere with national affairs! The edict of canonization has been issued, no more words!"
After the words fell, Zhu Qiyu looked as if he had expected it, shook his head gently, and said nothing. However, the faces of the ministers below were very ugly.
The Supreme Emperor is telling lies with open eyes. Although it is a bit disrespectful to say this, but after all, the Supreme Emperor is also a person who has been an emperor. How can he not be unaware of the impact of his special status on the grassland?
Under such circumstances, the Supreme Emperor still said "I am just a woman", which was clearly pretending to be confused.
However, having said that, if the Emperor insists on this attitude, things will become difficult.
Is it possible that the emperor really wants to issue an edict to refute the emperor's decree?
Not to mention that it is against etiquette, the turmoil it would cause in the court alone would be a huge headache.
Seeing the expressions of everyone below, Zhu Qiyu sighed softly and said.
"It is my fault that Bodu has been domineering in words and deeds since he came to Beijing. I should have thought that he was just trying to anger the imperial court and make the imperial court ignore him so that he could delay the presentation of his credentials. And then meet the Supreme Emperor."
"The Supreme Emperor has not intervened in political affairs for a long time, and it is difficult to detect his feelings for Bodu. He is also very sentimental. When he sees an old friend coming, he sometimes becomes soft-hearted and takes his Muge in. However, on the grassland, alas..."
Seeing the emperor's headache, everyone was stunned for a while. They did not expect that the emperor would take the responsibility on themselves.
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Qian stepped forward.
"Your Majesty's words are wrong. Although the Supreme Emperor does not intervene in government affairs, he should also be clear that the Oara envoys must have some plans when they come to our Ming Dynasty. When it comes to Oara, you need to be careful in everything. This is Bodu's trick and has nothing to do with Your Majesty. For now We can only think of a way to persuade the Supreme Emperor not to be deceived by Bodu and to withdraw his decree as soon as possible."
After the words fell, other ministers below also agreed, especially Mr. Shen from the Ministry of Revenue, who was so worried that he was running around.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment, pressed down with his empty hand, and said.
"What the gentlemen said is reasonable, but after all, this is a matter of the Supreme Queen's Palace. As the emperor's younger brother, I cannot comment too much and only cause criticism. However, this matter involves Wala, so it is not good to just ignore it. In this case, Huaien... "
"The minister is here!"
"Go to Cining Palace and tell the Holy Mother the whole matter. Also tell the Holy Mother the opinions of me and the ministers. Please ask her to come forward and issue an edict, which may be able to stop this matter!"
The emperor's words made everyone's eyes light up.
Yes, it is indeed difficult for the emperor to control the harem of the Supreme Emperor, but don't forget that the harem also houses the Queen Mother of the Supreme Emperor.
As the mother of the Supreme Emperor, it was only natural for her to intervene in this matter. Moreover, as a son of a human being, it was equally difficult for the Supreme Emperor to disobey the Emperor's decree.
Therefore, as long as she is willing to stop this matter, everything will be solved.
As for whether the Holy Queen Mother is willing to take care of it? This is almost a no-brainer.
Taking in a Mongolian concubine for the so-called "love of an old friend" regardless of the impact on the court. To put it bluntly, this matter damaged the reputation of the Supreme Emperor.
Therefore, as long as you know the character of the Holy Queen Mother above, you will definitely not ignore it.
Therefore, for a while, several elders breathed a sigh of relief and said one after another.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
However, among so many people, only Hu Hui's face showed a look of contemplation. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he seemed to be vaguely confused.
Out of many years of cautious habits, the eldest uncle thought of a question inexplicably.
Since the emperor was able to think of going to the Holy Empress Dowager so quickly, it can be seen that it was not a sudden inspiration.
However, if the emperor had already thought of this method, why bother to persuade the emperor first?
