There were many ministers who had been envoys to Wala, but Li Xian and Li Shi were definitely the two most unlucky ones.
The Supreme Emperor was also driven to herd sheep first. As loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xian and Li Shi naturally could not just watch and enjoy themselves.
There is no way, a good second-ranked Jinshi, a proud son of heaven, has to follow the Supreme Emperor to herd sheep.
As for why Zhu Qiyu did this to Li Xian and Li Shi alone, it is also because Li Xian and Li Shi in history swayed left and right and jumped repeatedly.
Li Xian, in particular, was greatly promoted by Jingtai and was highly used. As a result, after Jingtai's death, Li Xian was determined to smear Jingtai, completely disregarding the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers, to the extent that both the government and the public could not stand it.
Therefore, among the people Zhu Qiyu hates most, Li Xian ranks first and Xing Arrangement ranks second.
Zhu Qiyu doesn't care about others' refusal to be loyal, he only hates people who jump repeatedly.
For example, Wang Zhi was firmly loyal to orthodoxy, and Yu Qian was firmly loyal to Xuanzong. Zhu Qiyu has no objection. You are free to decide which emperor you want to be loyal to, as long as you make your position clear in advance.
Only people like Li Xian and Xing'an are the most hated.
Therefore, the hard work of going to Wala as an envoy would always fall on Li Xian and Li Shi.
On this day, Zhu Qizhen got up early and took Li Xian and Li Shi out to herd sheep. Unexpectedly, less than an hour later, Boyan Timur suddenly answered with Huo'er, "Ata Timur, Naha came out" Wait for the nobles and generals to come together to pay their respects.
Seeing this formation, Zhu Qizhen kept beating drums in his heart.
Boyan Timur and others came closer, knelt down and saluted together, and reported to Zhu Qizhen: "Congratulations to the Supreme Emperor, the peace talks between Oara and Ming Dynasty have been officially reached, and your majesty is free."
"What? Say it again?"
Happiness came so suddenly that Zhu Qizhen couldn't believe his ears.
Boyan Timur had no choice but to emphasize once more: "Your Majesty, have no doubt, it was the Emperor of Heaven who sent envoys again to complete the final peace talks.
Now that he has been imprisoned, the minister temporarily takes over the position of leader and will set off to escort His Majesty back to Beijing soon. "
After receiving the confirmation again, Zhu Qizhen swayed a few times and almost fainted with excitement. This life was finally over.
Li Xian and Li Shi quickly supported Zhu Qizhen from behind.
Zhu Qi calmed down and soon regained his majesty as the Emperor of Heaven.
Boyan Timur was not surprised by the changes in the former emperor of the Ming Dynasty and admired him quite a lot.
If ordinary people suffered such a terrible crime, they would either faint with excitement or at least scream a lot when they heard that they were free.
But Zhu Qizhen regained his composure in the blink of an eye.
So Boyan Timur and others followed the Supreme Emperor back to the camp, and gave Zhu Qizhen the tent where Ye Xian originally lived, and offered beef, mutton, game and fine wine.
After Zhu Qizhen endured two winters outside the Great Wall, he finally regained his freedom.
Three days later, Yue Zheng, Chen Jian, and Fang Ying led 30,000 elite troops into Wala's camp and conducted a bone-crushing search on his tribe.
The huge wealth accumulated by the three generations of Mahamu, Tuohuan and Yexian for more than 50 years went to the Ming Dynasty.
It was still the old rule that all this wealth belonged to the imperial court and was paid to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Zhu Qiyu didn't take any money.
Therefore, Yue Zheng, Chen Jian and others were very energetic and meticulously sorted out these gold and silver jewelry, registering them one by one, without missing anything.
Not all civil servants are greedy for money, especially young civil servants who have the opportunity to be prime ministers and ministers. They often have higher pursuits besides money.
Once the power is in hand, it is no better than sleeping with a few ingots of gold and silver in your arms all day long.
Especially Yue Zheng, who is only thirty-three years old this year and comes from a third-level background. He has long been holding back his energy to make achievements and does not want to lose to He Yi and Huang Pu of the same class.
Fang Ying has always been strict and honest in running the army. Although he was shocked when he saw this huge amount of wealth, he still conscientiously controlled the army, cooperated with Yue Zheng and Chen Jian, and completely accepted this windfall for the court.
The entire search operation lasted for ten days.
Ten days later, Yue Zheng and Fang Ying led an army of 30,000 people, took the gold and silver jewelry they had plundered, protected the Supreme Emperor, and went to the Chinese army camp to join Wang Ji.
Boyan Timur led 1,500 warriors, accompanied by cattle, sheep and horses, and entered Beijing with the main force of the Ming army to pay tribute to the Ming Emperor.
Five days later, the two armies reunited. Wang Ji and Liang Yue led their troops ten miles out of the camp to meet him.
As soon as Wang Ji saw Zhu Qizhen, he knelt on the ground, hugged Zhu Qizhen's thigh and cried bitterly.
When the monarch and his ministers met each other, it felt like they were separated from each other, weeping and lamenting, and filled with emotions.
After finally controlling his emotions, we returned to the Chinese army camp together.
After another exchange of pleasantries between the monarch and his ministers, Zhu Qizhen asked the question he was most concerned about: "What will happen after returning to Beijing? What will happen in the future?"
When the Supreme Emperor asked about the future, Wang Ji gave a very definite answer: "The throne has been determined and cannot be changed."
This was said not only to Zhu Qizhen, but also to Yue Zheng and Chen Jian.
In front of the emperor's special envoy, Wang Ji gave a clear stance.
After that, Wang Ji added: "As for what will happen after returning to the capital, these two, one is Yue Zheng, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, and the other is Chen Jian, a doctor in the Ministry of War. They are plenipotentiary envoys sent by the emperor. They know more about the affairs of the capital. thing."
Zhu Qizhen looked at the two of them and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Zhu Qizhen knew both of them. Ordinary Jinshi people may not recognize Zhu Qizhen completely, but Yue Zheng was the crown prince in the 13th year of the orthodox year. It is impossible not to recognize him.
As for Chen Jian, just because he proposed to transfer Sichuan's Bozhou Xuanwei Division to Guizhou when he was the governor of Guizhou, he was dismissed by Wang Zhen, imprisoned, and sentenced to death. This was very embarrassing.
Fortunately, Chen Jian didn't talk much, and Yue Zheng did the talking throughout the whole process.
As for the arrangements after the Emperor returned to Beijing, the imperial court had already sent the final decision to Yue Zheng on a six-hundred-mile expedited basis.
Yue Zheng explained Zhu Qizhen's treatment one by one after returning to Beijing.
Zhu Qizhen nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with the court's arrangements. Not being placed under house arrest was beyond Zhu Qizhen's expectations.
But after talking about the good aspects, Yue Zheng recounted Xu Youzhen's memorial proposing to demote the Supreme Emperor as Emperor Gongrang, as well as the attitudes of the court and the Queen Mother.
Zhu Qizhen's expression suddenly changed, and he confirmed to Yue Zheng again: "You mean the whole government and the public have agreed? Even the Queen Mother has agreed?"
Yue Zheng nodded very firmly: "A public discussion has been formed in the imperial court, and only the emperor insists on returning the throne to the Supreme Emperor.
The Queen Mother explicitly rejected the Emperor and insisted that the Supreme Emperor should be demoted. "
Zhu Qi Zhen suddenly felt like a thunderbolt struck him. If he really wanted to become Emperor Gong Rang, then Zhu Qi Yu would have a legal advantage, and he would have too much room for maneuver in the future. Why did the Queen Mother choose to compromise? This is really incredible.
In desperation, Zhu Qizhen turned to Wang Ji. Wang Ji's status is very special. He is not only a civil servant in his direct lineage, but also a noble nobleman in his close circle.
Wang Ji's position at this time can represent the position of his own Shanghuang faction.
Completely different from Zhu Qizhen's expectations, Wang Ji replied very clearly: "Your Majesty, this is a public discussion of the court, and there is no room for maneuver.
What was bad was the Tumubao Incident. The Ming army lost too completely.
It has been concluded that His Majesty is guilty of the country, and no one can overturn it.
It was said that some ministers even proposed that His Majesty go to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum, but fortunately the emperor firmly rejected it. "
