Again, what Yang Jie did created a great opportunity for Ming Dynasty to intervene in the grassland situation.
However, this opportunity is also a risk.
Since Renxuan, the Ming Dynasty has focused on stability and defense in its border defense policy. Especially after the Emperor Taisheng's civil war, the government and the public have become more conservative in border affairs.
To put it bluntly, I just don’t want to have anything to do with these Mongolian tribes. Whether it’s war, mutual trade, or other interactions, I don’t want to have any.
Concentrate on guarding the borders of the Ming Dynasty. As for the mess on the grassland, they can make whatever trouble they like.
This kind of thinking is somewhat muddled, but it actually exists in the entire court.
It's hard to say whether this is influenced by the long-standing officialdom atmosphere or is influenced by it. The most obvious manifestation is the last mutual trading issue. Even with the emperor's endorsement, many ministers in the court were still not interested, and there were even some opposing.
But now, Yang Jie has broken this situation.
To put it bluntly, his behavior forced Daming to intervene in the situation on the grassland. Otherwise, it was very likely that Wala would take advantage of the situation and rise up.
From a political point of view, this goes against the court's long-standing direction of putting stability first. From a personal point of view, he has dragged all the officials into the water, and they have to take this risk with him.
So it is conceivable that when this news spreads, there will be a lot of discussion in the court, especially for Yang Jie, there will be more arguments than comments.
What's more important is that what Yang Jie does involves dealing with various parties. What is most needed is to be careful and not to reveal any flaws.
This is probably the biggest reason why he has not spread the news to the outside world before, but now, he has taken the initiative to spread the news.
Either there is no longer any need to keep it secret, or, with his ability and authority, he is no longer able to cope with the situation he is about to face or is facing, so he needs to ask the court for help.
Considering that Yang Jie took the initiative to go to the Torgut tribe and did not return directly to the Ming Dynasty, it is most likely the latter.
Since it requires the help of the imperial court, there is a high probability that the movement will not be small, which means that it must be discussed by the imperial court.
It is precisely because of this that the episode just happened.
The emperor has always been far-sighted, and his ability to grasp the situation of the court is unparalleled. He always takes one step at a time and sees three steps at a time.
Unsurprisingly, when he saw the secret report, he was already thinking about how to quickly calm public opinion and successfully pass the court meeting.
The fastest and easiest way is obviously to use imperial power to force the ministers to surrender.
However, this is not in line with the emperor's usual style.
So it's obvious that these few of them are the unlucky ones chosen by the emperor.
The emperor's thunderous wrath just now, especially the killing move of Yue Wumu, directly blocked their room for debate.
Under such circumstances, if any of them dared to say anything bad about Yang Jie, they would become Qin Hui in the emperor's mouth.
So smoothly, the debate was quickly unified, especially after Shen Yi spoke, the direction of the topic quickly changed from the merits and demerits to how to fully cooperate with Yang Jie and intervene in the grassland situation.
It is conceivable that once their memorials are handed over, even if they are in the hands of the emperor, when it comes to the court meeting, if they want to change their tune or remain silent, they will have to think about it and be reprimanded by the emperor. The risk of inconsistency is gone.
In other words, the emperor gave these people present the task of facing the pressure of the courtiers.
The elders looked at each other, with a helpless smile on their faces.
Who would have thought that the emperor, who had always been stable, would suddenly play such a trick on them.
This is definitely a sneak attack!
Of course, having said that, none of them dared to neglect.
Thinking of the emperor's momentum just now, the elders sighed silently in their hearts. They knew very well that even if they tried it again, the result would not be the same.
What a difference now.
The emperor's actions just now were certainly intended to allow them to deal with the courtiers, but it was not necessarily true that the anger was adulterated.
The bosses are all smart people. After breaking through this layer of window paper, they will naturally consider the problem from the perspective of the emperor unconsciously.
Although they can see the situation clearly and will not have too negative comments about Yang Jie.
However, this may not necessarily be the case for Wai Chao.
Among the civil and military officials, some are old-fashioned and can't turn their heads around, and some are people who ask for fame to gain popularity, seek fame and reputation, and try to gain favor by grandstanding.
Among so many officials, there must be someone who would make extreme remarks and accuse Yang Jie of acting without authorization and "sabotaging" the peace negotiations between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars.
From this perspective, the emperor just expressed his attitude more.
If the people present don't do it to appease the courtiers, then the emperor will do it.
As for what the emperor will do...it was already clear just now!
When it comes to the court and the emperor needs to come forward, the old man will definitely be furious and denounce the person who made such remarks as a "female sycophant."
After all, this is a small-scale discussion. No matter how big a conflict occurs, if everyone takes a step back and everyone persuades them, it will be easy to change.
However, if the emperor says this in the middle of a court meeting in the Golden Palace, it will definitely be accompanied by thunderous punishment.
What's more, if there is a hard fight, it might even lead to a confrontation between the monarch and his ministers.
This is what the emperor does not want to see, so this is what happened now.
Obviously, with so many people present, only Shen Yi, who had been watching coldly, noticed this.
Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth, he hit the mark and steered the topic in the direction the emperor wanted. This was also the fastest way to calm the emperor's "anger".
Of course, there is another way besides this.
That's what Shen Yi said just now...
If Yu Qian were in Beijing at this moment, he would definitely have more unique insights!
It is true that as the Minister of War, Yu Qian is very familiar with military and border affairs, but the imperial court will not stop without Yu Qian.
Even if they are not in their positions and do not know much about border affairs, there are so many people present, including civil servants and military officers, and even Wang Ao has been supervising military affairs at the border. If they are added together, it is not impossible for Yu Qian to consider it thoughtfully.
Therefore, in terms of specific countermeasures, they believe that they will not lose to Yu Qian, but there is only one thing that Yu Qian can do, but they cannot.
That is the strength of Yu Qian!
The emperor's method was actually accurate. They had this idea in their hearts, and they knew that this idea was inappropriate, so they felt guilty.
In this case, if the emperor is so angry, they will definitely be led away by the emperor in panic.
But, Yu Qian won’t!
This master was used to being scolded by the emperor, and he had been hit on the head with something by the emperor when he was angry, let alone the scene just now.
Therefore, if Yu Qian were here, he would definitely be sure of his judgment and evaluation, and would not feel guilty like others present.
Secondly, he will not be intimidated by the emperor's power and hurriedly try to appease the emperor. Maybe, he can withstand the emperor's anger and calmly remonstrate.
Often in this situation, it seems that Yu Qian is being punished, but in fact, it is basically the emperor who gives in.
So to put it bluntly, the emperor is just sitting on his back, bullying them while Yu Qian is away.
If Yu Qian had been present and the emperor had suffered so many losses, I'm afraid he wouldn't have used such simple and crude methods.
Get scolded for nothing!
╭(╯^╰)╮
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Changping just said that Yang Zhenfu sent envoys to the Turgut tribe for the first time. I venture to guess that it is still a means of sowing discord."
"It's just that this time, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
The atmosphere in the palace was a little awkward. In the end, Yu Shiyue stepped forward and started to fight.
The silence was broken.
After Chen Yi mentioned this, the impact of the emperor's thunderous anger just now was completely diluted.
However, they were also stood up.
It's not that these people present really have any opinions on Yang Jie, but such a major matter must always be planned before taking action.
However, when the emperor made such a fuss, all of them were forced to express their attitude in advance. This feeling of not knowing anything but having to rush forward was really uncomfortable.
But since this is the case, they have nothing to do. Who let them meet such an emperor.
Since there is no way out, even if you have to bite the bullet, you have no choice but to go forward.
Frowning, Yu Shiyue analyzed.
"Bodu is different from Aga Dorji. Judging from his various behaviors after arriving in Beijing this time, it can be seen that this person is extremely cunning and full of scheming. He is not an easy person to deal with."
"Furthermore, it is also different from Tuo Tuo Bu Hua. Although he trusts Bo Du, he cannot be as defenseless against Bo Du as Tuo Tuo Buhua."
"In addition, news of the Tatar civil strife will soon reach Oara. I'm afraid it will be difficult to conceal the details."
"Based on the lessons learned from Tottobuhua and Agadolji, it will be quite difficult to convince Bodu Kazuya to turn against him first."
Again, after understanding the ins and outs, it is not difficult to deduce Yang Jie's purpose.
After the Tatar civil strife, the biggest threat on the grassland was the Oara.
The biggest threat to Wala is actually Ye Xian!
This man is ambitious, talented and strategic, and firmly controls the power of Wala. With him around, it will be difficult for each of Wala's tribes to defeat them one by one.
However, thinking about it conversely, as long as he dies first, Wala will inevitably fall into civil strife.
The grassland tribes are different from the Central Plains. The Central Plains has a long history and the concept of patriarchal system is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, even if a young master succeeds to the throne, political instability will rarely occur.
However, the harsh environment on the grassland is destined to be a battle between the weak and the strong.
Therefore, every change of tribal leaders is bound to be accompanied by thick blood.
For Wala, he was first the leader of ZTE. However, under the special political traditions and natural conditions of the grassland, he had to rely on his brothers to control various tribes.
This will lead to the fact that if he dies first, his brothers will inevitably compete for control of Wala, and may even fall apart like the Tatars.
Therefore, Yang Jie’s goal must be to go first!
After listening to Yu Shiyue's words, Yang Hong's eyes flashed with deep worry. He had been at the border for many years, and it was no exaggeration to say that he had dealt with all the leaders of Oara.
Of course, he knew better how difficult it was to get Bodu to betray Ye first.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Hong spoke.
"What Mr. Ci Fu said is true. For the various Tatar tribes, they are divided because they are fighting for the ownership of the Khan."
"However, for Wala, Ye Xian is just a grand master, not a great khan, so there is no issue of competing for the position of khan."
"In this case, for Bodu, even if he kills him first, it will be difficult for him to legitimately control the entire Wala, so..."
"So, he needs benefits!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Qiyu finally spoke and took the words.
It should be said that what Yu Shiyue and Yang Hong said are right.
With such a combination of factors, it is quite difficult to convince Bodu. However, the reason why Yang Jie dares to go is naturally because of his confidence.
This was also the reason why he asked Daming for help this time. To convince Bodu, it was impossible to rely on red mouth and white teeth.
He must pay enough chips and get real benefits before he will be tempted.
"Bodu made three requests this time!"
Zhu Qiyu raised three fingers and spoke softly.
"First, the Ming Dynasty needs to enthrone Bodu as king, and at the same time, let him come forward
, representing the major tribes of Oara, to carry out further mutual trade with the Ming Dynasty. The scale, quantity, and frequency must be equal to those of the five major Tatar tribes. In addition, the number of tributes each year will be doubled on the original basis. "
The Wenhua Palace was very quiet, and this statement alone made all the ministers present frown.
This Bodu has such a big appetite!
Being canonized as king means that the Ming Dynasty recognizes his status as the leader of Wala, and opening up mutual markets on a large scale can allow Bodu to win over people's hearts to the greatest extent and win over the nobles of other tribes.
As for the number of tributes, it is a naked advantage.
You know, it was because of this that the Ming Dynasty went to war with Wala in the first place. If such conditions were agreed to, wouldn't the Tumu war be in vain?
Just hearing this condition, all the ministers present almost objected. Fortunately, they still remembered the rules of the prelude and did not interrupt the emperor's words.
However, just by looking at their expressions, Zhu Qiyu roughly knew what they were thinking. He shook his head and said without saying much.
"Second, the Ming Dynasty needs to ennoble Qimuge, the sister of Bodu, as the imperial concubine of the Supreme Emperor, ranking below the queen. If Qimuge gives birth to a prince, he must marry a girl from Wala as his concubine."
? ! !
You are dreaming!
The faces of the elders were as dark as water, but they had already cursed in their hearts.
Return the imperial concubine?
Do you want the position of queen?
Let the prince marry a Wala girl as his concubine?
Marry a**! ! !
Seeing that the faces of the people present were turning into black faces, Zhu Qiyu sighed, but continued.
"Third, after he takes charge of Wala, if there is civil strife in the tribe, Ming Dynasty will need to send a large army to help him suppress the rebellion and secure his position as Grand Master of Wala!"
Compared with the first two conditions, this condition is also excessive.
However, for the elders, it is not that impactful.
Of course, it's also unacceptable.
Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty is currently recuperating and it is difficult to send large armies deep into the grasslands.
Even if they are sent, who can guarantee that these people do not harbor evil intentions and attack the Ming Dynasty's army?
Besides, how to pass the court meeting is also a big problem.
If Bodu really attacked and killed Ye first, then, in a sense, he was actually usurping the throne.
It's enough for Ming Dynasty to support him secretly, but if he openly sends a large army to help him suppress the rebellion, how will he explain it to the government and the opposition?
