Tuohuan's face turned gloomy, as if all his energy had been sucked out of him at once.
"Son...go, take Arutai's head to see the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Tuohuan said with strength, "The Oara tribe is gone. The Tatars are already strong. After this battle, the Oara tribe will no longer be an opponent. Without the support of the Ming Dynasty, , fear of general, fear of general..."
"My child understands, Father, please hold on." Boyan Timur's eyes turned red, "Wala can't live without you!"
Tuo Huan smiled bitterly, "The good situation has been ruined like this. It's a good thing that Wala has lost me."
"No, no," Boyan Timur comforted, "This is an emergency. Who would have thought...it has nothing to do with my father."
Tuo Huan breathed a sigh of relief and braced himself, "The Wala Department will be left to you. Son, please remember that you must be loyal to the Ming Emperor in the future."
Tuohuan knows best who his son is. He is not so thoughtful at all. Even if his strength is equal, there is no way he can be a match for the Tatars. Even internal stability is difficult to achieve.
They can only follow the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly, use the Ming Dynasty's assistance to fight against the Tatars, and use the Ming Dynasty's power to intimidate the inside.
Tuo Huan doesn't have high demands on his son. He doesn't ask him to dominate. He only wants him to lead his tribe to survive and live well.
"My child remembers everything."
"Can it be done?"
"Yes." Boyan Timur nodded heavily.
Tuohuan looked at his son and smiled...

Mid-Autumn Festival.
After a day of pleasure in the palace, Zhu Zhanji dragged his tired body back to Qianqing Palace to handle government affairs.
After the cabinet obtained the right to vote, the emperor's workload was not heavy, but Zhu Zhanji was not at ease with them and still had to go through it;
And from time to time, some of them would be rejected to serve as a warning and let the people in the cabinet know that the emperor is watching every day, so work hard and don't have any bad intentions.
He was suspicious, but his suspicion was necessary.
Zhu Zhanji was very experienced and read the memorials very quickly, cutting off the beginning and the end, because the beginning and the end were all useless nonsense.
Even so, it was already late at night after reading today's memorial.
After stretching, Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief. Today's work was finally done.
He was too tired today. He spent a whole day hunting, archery, and playing Cuju. He spent a whole day playing with the ministers and catching up on government affairs. He spent too much energy.
"Alas... I won't go to the harem." Zhu Zhanji stood up and walked to the bed in the inner hall, ready to go to bed.
At this time, the little yellow doorman on duty came in with small steps, "Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you."
"Well, let her in."
"Yes." Xiao Huangmen responded and turned around.
After a while, a beautiful woman came in with a medicinal meal in her hand and said with a smile: "I know that no matter how busy or tired the emperor is, he has to finish the government affairs for the day. The medicinal meal I prepared myself can not only nourish the stomach but also nourish the body." .”
Zhu Zhanji took it and put it on the imperial desk, pulled her to sit down, and said with a smile: "It's really hard for you to stay up so late. I've told you many times that I just let the servants in the palace do this. Why do you, the queen, do it?"
"I am idle when I am idle." Mrs. Sun stood up and asked Zhu Zhanji to sit down. "I will give you a shoulder squeeze by the Emperor to relieve my fatigue."
"Well..." Zhu Zhanji leaned back comfortably on the chair, enjoying the rare leisure.
The two were childhood sweethearts. Sun entered the palace at the age of ten and was recruited into the Prince's Mansion when Renzong was still the crown prince.
Zhu Zhanji was only ten years old at that time. They were the same age and met often, and Sun was extremely beautiful.
A talented man and a beautiful woman, as they grow older, they begin to fall in love, and they secretly have feelings for each other;
Originally, according to the development of the plot, it should be that the two fell in love and achieved good results;
However, when Zhu Zhanji came of age, Zhu Di directly came to beat the mandarin ducks!
Of course, Zhu Di is not going to have trouble with a girl. The reason why he does this is very simple;
Sun's father, Sun Zhong, was the chief registrar of Yongcheng County. Zhu Zhanji's mother, Zhang, was also from Yongcheng County, and it was Zhang who brought Sun into the palace.
At that time, the conflict between Zhu Di and the civil servants had reached an irreconcilable point. Whether it was due to the suppression of civil servants or the possibility that his daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law would join forces in the future and give the foreign relatives exclusive power, they had to strike this blow.
Therefore, he appointed Hu as Zhu Zhanji's first wife.
The euphemistic name is: As the old saying goes, take a virtuous wife and keep a concubine. You can take the woman, but you can't make her your main wife.
Zhu Zhanji loves beauty, but he loves the country even more, so: Grandpa Huang is right!
Later, when Zhu Zhanji became emperor, he wanted to abolish the Hu family and make Sun the queen. The reason was for no other reason than that she was sensible, docile, beautiful, and knew how to get into trouble. Who wouldn't be confused if she left her alone?
But I want to think about it, but I have no suitable reason.
After all, it was appointed by Taizong, so it can be abandoned at any time.
It wasn't until Sun gave birth to a dragon son that she finally had an excuse.
Zhu Zhanji proposed to change the Sun family name on the grounds of establishing the foundation of the country.
However, facts have proven that it is not an easy matter to abolish the queen. The queen's mother-in-law honors the world, and even the emperor cannot abolish the queen for no reason. There are fierce disputes in the court.
In the end, it was the great help of Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong that allowed Sun to ascend to the throne.
Yang Rong directly listed dozens of Hu's faults. Zhu Zhanji didn't have much affection for Hu, but he didn't want to bury them, so he dismissed them.
Therefore, Yang Shiqi proposed that Queen Hu could not give birth to a dragon son, perhaps because God was not happy with her and her merit was shallow.
In this way, Queen Hu withdrew from Kunning Palace, the master of the harem, and went directly to become a monk.
At that time, Zhu Zhanji was focused on putting Qingmei in the position. Looking back now, he found it quite absurd. At the same time, he also realized his mistake.
However, there is no reason for the emperor to admit his mistakes.
Moreover, the crown prince has been established. Abolition of the crown prince's biological mother will shake the country's foundation. Regardless of political or personal considerations, it is not appropriate to change the queen.
"Alas..." Zhu Zhanji sighed.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Mrs. Sun asked with concern, "But I've pressed you too hard?"
"Nothing." Zhu Zhanji waved his hand, "I'm tired, you can go back and rest."
Mrs. Sun said 'oh' and said in a low mood: "Your Majesty, please rest early. I have resigned."
After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Eat something before going to sleep. It's not good to sleep hungry."
"Um."
Zhu Zhanji smiled and nodded.

Early next morning.
When Zhu Zhanji opened his eyes, it was already noon.
Not to mention the morning dynasty, the afternoon dynasty was also missed.
He was a little angry: "Why doesn't anyone call me?"
"It was my concubine's idea." The curtain was raised, and Mrs. Sun walked in, timidly saying: "The emperor has many things to do every day, and I was afraid that the emperor would tire out his dragon body, so..."
Zhu Zhanji glanced at her and said in a slightly cold tone: "I won't do this next time!"
"Yes, I have written it down." Sun nodded slowly.
Zhu Zhanji ignored her and said in a cold voice: "Come here, send these serving young eunuchs to Nanzhili to guard the mausoleum of Taizu."
The few Xiaohuangmen who had just relaxed were suddenly struck by lightning and kowtowed hurriedly, "Your Majesty, forgive me, forgive me...!"
Zhu Zhanji's eyes were cold, he glanced at Sun again, and left with a puff of sleeves.
Sun's heart trembled, and her face turned pale.
She didn't expect him to have such a big reaction.
At this time, the son's voice sounded outside the door: "My son, see my father, my father..."
After a while, the son ran in frustratedly and said aggrievedly: "Mother, my father ignored me."
"Your father is busy." Mrs. Sun forced a smile, "How about my mother playing with you?"
…
Royal study room.
Zhu Zhanji convened cabinet members to discuss national affairs.
Just as he was talking, Yu Qian rushed in, followed by several small yellow gatekeepers, "Your Majesty, I forgive you, but I really can't stop you, Minister Yu."
Yang Shiqi frowned: "Yu Qian, no matter how urgent the matter is, you should report it first. This is the palace."
Yu Qian ignored him and went straight to Zhu Zhanji and said succinctly: "Your Majesty, there was a bloody battle on the grassland, and there were heavy casualties. The leader of the Tatar tribe, Arutai, was killed, and the Oara tribe was defeated!"
"Alutai was killed and the Oara tribe was defeated?" Zhu Zhanji was surprised but also a little puzzled, "Yu Qian, did you say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong?"
"Both are correct."
Yang Shiqi continued: "What's going on? Why don't I, the Minister of War, know about it?"
Yu Qian still ignored him, "Your Majesty, Boyan Timur of the Oara tribe is waiting outside Juyong Pass, requesting an interview."
"Well..." Zhu Zhanji pondered for a moment, "Send someone to pick him up immediately, be quick."
"I obey the order." Yu Qian hurriedly cupped his hands and left in a hurry, not saying a word to Yang Shiqi from beginning to end.
Yang Shiqi was so angry: After all, I am also your boss. Are you, Yu Qian, too crazy?
"Your Majesty, I have behaved disrespectfully in front of Lord Qian. Not only did he barge in without permission, he also failed to follow court etiquette. It is really too presumptuous."
"Hey~ He's in a hurry too." Zhu Zhanji didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Let's keep busy."
The emperor didn't care, and Yang Shiqi couldn't say anything else, so he could only say: "The emperor is as humble as a valley, and the humble ministers admire him very much."
